"This guy went to the bathroom?" Li Wei smiled wickedly.

"Uh, hehe." Chen Su laughed twice, not knowing how to answer.

made a joke, Li Wei fell silent, Li Shanchang once interceded for this Lin Xian, and it was not surprising that the two met, last time he beat him under the pretext of beating him, thinking that he should have found this backer to complain.

However, even if Li Shanchang is a hero of the founding of the country, he can't do anything with him, or now that the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with him except Zhu Yuanzhang.

"It's not a matter of forehand." Li Wei said casually.

Chen Su nodded yes, and then asked, "Master Hou, do you want to report this matter to Your Majesty?" ”

Chen Su's tone was casual, as if he was just asking about an inconsequential trivial matter, but after asking, his eyes were staring at Li Wei tightly, expecting his answer.

This was a small temptation, and he wanted to know what the attitude of this marquis in front of him, the god in the mind of the craftsman, was towards His Majesty today!

Only by figuring out Li Wei's attitude can he determine how he should deal with himself in the future.

Li Wei's body stiffened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze at him gradually deepened.

Chen Su had never seen him look like this, and it made him feel like he was being seen through all his thoughts, and he lowered his head in dodge!

"Jinyiwei is a knife in the hands of His Majesty, he can be arrogant and domineering, and he can also be ruthless, but he can't have his own thoughts, you understand?" Li Wei said leisurely.

Hearing this answer, Chen Su was shocked in his heart, the Li Wei he knew had always been straightforward and had no city government, but this time Li Wei did not directly answer yes or no, but said an intriguing word.

On the surface, this said that he must be loyal to His Majesty and not have his own careful thoughts, but Li Wei said that it was Jinyiwei, not "you" and "Chen Su". This made him a little puzzled.

He can be Jinyiwei or not, although it is now, but it may not be in the future, does Li Wei want him to repay or not?

Chen Su lowered his head in contemplation, frowning and silent.

Li Wei lay back, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes: "Go back early." ”

Chen Su wanted to speak and stopped, but when he saw this, he had to suppress his doubts, respectfully claimed yes, turned around and exited the room.

After Chen Su left, Abu, who was guarding the door, immediately walked in: "Master, why don't you send someone to keep an eye on him?" ”

"No, he's just thinking more seriously," Li Wei opened his eyes and sighed: "His brother died for me, and his nephew is my student, so he won't betray me." ”

Chen Su is Chen Shaofeng's own uncle, and Chen Shaofeng is one of the sons of the seven slain craftsmen in the academy, Li Wei has long known this.

Chen Su's tentative question just now, if he answered without retribution, it would be a deception and a plot to misdeceive, this is exactly the answer that Chen Su hopes to get the most, he only needs to help him with all his strength to avenge his brother in the future.

And with his words, even if he doesn't want to, Chen Su will force him to rebel in the future.

Of course, before that, Chen Su would still be loyal.

On the other hand, if he answers that he must report it clearly, it will disappoint the loyal subordinate, and even if he does not betray, he will lose his enthusiasm or be out of control.

Abu didn't say anything more, nodded his head, and withdrew.

Li Wei got up from his chair, looked at the silent courtyard outside the window, and whispered, "Come on, I hope there won't be any accidents." ”

Now he has 3,000 guards, if this conquest of the Japanese country goes well, he can indirectly control a water division, and the students of Minghuang Academy are about to put into practice, and then they will definitely be able to raise the industrial level to a higher level.

With the Ordnance Bureau providing advanced weapons and equipment, and an invincible sailor across the rivers and seas, when he wants to leave and stay, no one will be able to stop him!

……

In the dim candlelight, Chen Su sat at his desk, on the table was a secret report to be presented to His Majesty, but at this moment the report was blank, he hesitated for a long time, and still failed to write a word.

Today's Li Wei's words made him realize that this marquis, who has always acted recklessly in the eyes of the outside world, relying on luck and the ascendancy of the Holy Family, does not seem to be so simple.

Chen Su thought back to his words, on the surface, the meaning of these words was obviously to warn him to do his duty as a brocade guard, not to be so careful, and those who should be reported must be reported truthfully, otherwise there will be no good end.

But beyond this superficial meaning, Li Wei does not seem to be completely loyal to the monarch, although he is frank and straightforward, and he is in the emperor's heart, but he seems to have other thoughts that people can't figure out.

Thinking about it carefully, although Li Wei does things straightforwardly and rampage, it is this kind of character that is greatly trusted by His Majesty, and after several falls, he has risen again, and has reached the point where he is almost in power. On the contrary, those civil and military ministers who are good at calculation can't raise their heads when they are suppressed.

If you look at the results regardless of the process, this Hou Ye is the real winner!

Thinking of this, Chen Su couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he felt an inexplicable awe of him.

Li Wei has the ability, which is also a good thing for him, but what makes him a little disappointed is that today's temptation still failed to find out the true attitude of this Hou Ye.

After a long pause, Chen Su finally put aside these distracting thoughts, and according to Li Wei's intentions, he wrote down and reported the matter truthfully, including the instructions behind Li Wei, and only concealed the words that the two said during the temptation.

The next day, he handed over the secret report, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not give any response, nor did he mean to punish Li Wei, but it didn't take long for Chen Su to officially replace Wu Yong and sit in the position of the pacification envoy.

Winter goes to spring, and half a year passes in a hurry.

Based on the Shenji Battalion and his own escort, Li Wei spent nearly half a year finally transforming this 50,000-strong naval division from a cold soldier into a new type of naval division mainly based on firearms.

Outside the Jinchuan Gate, dozens of warships are displayed on the river outside the city gate, among which the ironclad ships in front are the most conspicuous.

Today is the day when Li Wei shows the results of the sailor's drills, in order to successfully conquer the Japanese state, he must come up with a powerful sailor to convince Zhu Yuanzhang, of course, these dozens of warships are only a small part of the sailor, the scale of about 10,000 people, but there are ironclad ships, these are enough.

On the city gate, Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He, Feng Sheng, Li Shanchang and other noble generals gathered, waiting to see the drill of Li Wei, the new sailor.

"Let them start."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to the guards behind him.

When the guard received the order, he immediately said yes, turned away and informed the standard-bearer on the corner tower, who waved the flag and gave the order.

A moment later, with a loud and powerful whistle, the ironclad took the lead, and the huge chimney withstood the billowing black smoke, gradually accelerating towards the predetermined target in the distance.

The big ships of two or three thousand materials that followed also accelerated to follow with paddle wheels driven by steam engines.

Although Tang He did not interfere in Li Wei's training, he was also very familiar with these ships, and while watching, he introduced the combat methods of these sailors to Zhu Yuanzhang and Feng Sheng and others around him from time to time.

"Li Wei's kid has canceled the gang fighting or something, and the previous swords and arrows have also been replaced with muskets, and what's even more powerful is that he has installed cannons on these ships, like the largest ironclad ship, which has hundreds of cannons on it!"

Tang He exaggerated while talking, he used to look down on Li Wei, but after this period of time, after seeing the new water division he trained, he had to admire. (End of chapter)
