Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 83 The navy is in place and the conscription begins

If Feng Yibo wants to suppress the Japanese, he must be inseparable from the support of the navy.

Otherwise, you can only defend passively.

Although he has the title of imperial envoy.

In theory, it has the right to mobilize all troops in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Ministry of War will also cooperate with him in writing everywhere.

But most of the troops in Jiangnan belong to Xungui.

I am afraid that there are not a few people who obey the law and violate the law.

Moreover, Jiangnan's military equipment is lax, and Feng Yibo will not place his hopes on this group of trash.

However, the navy is an exception.

It was a force he had to master.

If there is no navy, it is equivalent to cavalry without horses.

Just listening to the excitement, the price is losing mobility.

The Navy is also piled up from the mountains of gold and silver.

The three melons and dates in Feng Yibo's hands are definitely not something that Feng Yibo can mess with.

Therefore, he can only find ready-made ones.

Choosing to station in the north of Xiangshan, isn't the picture of Liu Zhao's navy?

Originally, Feng Yibo wanted to have a good chat with Liu Zhao.

Know it with reason, move with emotion.

Promise benefits and draw ambitions.

But before he could do anything, Liu Zhao was already kneeling in front of him.

What can Feng Yibo do?
Of course I chose to forgive him!

Since the other party is pleading guilty, then he himself will "reconcile the general and the prime minister".

By the way, achieve your own goals.

When Liu Zhao heard that Feng Yibo wanted to control the navy, he was taken aback for a moment.

Then Feng Yibo was overjoyed beyond expectation!

"Thank you virtuous brother for disregarding past suspicions. From now on, I will definitely follow my virtuous brother's lead!"

Liu Zhao felt that he had been forgiven, so he got up and patted the skirt of his clothes.

He solemnly saluted again:

"I only hope that Brother Yibo can lead me to win a few battles, destroy this group of imprisoned Japanese pirates, and vent my anger on Jiangnan!"

Ability not enough can be cultivated.

If you don't have the heart, then you are really useless.

This Liu Zhao is rare in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are some bloody military officers, right?

Hearing this, Feng Yibo couldn't help re-examining Liu Zhao, and asked:
"Do you really want to?"

"I am willing!"

Liu Zhao nodded vigorously, and said:
"It's not like I haven't seen Brother Xian's ability!"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Liu Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Except Brother Xian, no one in Jiangnan can eliminate this group of bastards."

"As long as my virtuous brother is fighting Japanese pirates, you will give me an order, and I will try my best to cooperate with you!"

He believed in himself more than himself.

Seeing this, Feng Yibo made a decision in his heart.

"Then I'll go to the Ministry of War to take Zhang Wenshu, and your navy will be dispatched by me in a logical manner in the future."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo hesitated again, and said:

"It's just... your guard commander, you won't get in the way?"

Liu Zhao heard the words with a smile, grinned and said:

"Don't worry about him, Wu Jiang, the commander of the Ningbo Guard, doesn't deal with Mu Kun, and I didn't care about him at all!"

Rotten like this, still forming gangs?

Feng Yibo frowned upon hearing this, but said worriedly: "Then your salary?"

"Our navy is responsible for transporting food and salaries, and we keep enough for ourselves every time. It's not bad if we don't deduct him!"

Liu Zhao showed disdain and said nonchalantly:
"If he dares to withhold my money, I will withhold his food."

Feng Yibo was taken aback, and blurted out: "Ah? Is there such a good thing?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhao looked at Feng Yibo defensively.

He hesitated and said: "My dear brother, let's say yes first, I don't want to drink the blood of soldiers!"

Feng Yibo couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and said angrily:
"What does brother think of me?"

Only then did Liu Zhao heave a sigh of relief, and smiled obsequiously, saying:
"Brother Yibo, we finally reunited as brothers, and now we have let go of our previous suspicions. We should get drunk so that we can live up to it..."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo looked at him with a half-smile.

Immediately, his face turned embarrassing, and he said, "Just kidding, kidding."

The two reconciled and plotted in the study for a while.

Finally meet Xiangshan goodbye.

Afterwards, Feng Yibo went to visit Mu Kun.

The other party didn't say what intentions they had, just greeted them with a smile all the way.

"The Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River have been suffering for a long time."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Mu Kun said, as if he was concerned about the country and the people:
"As long as Feng Shi said that you can wipe out the Japanese pirates, I, Mu Kun, have nothing to say, and I will support you with all my strength."

Whether Feng Yibo believed it or not, he couldn't ask any more questions.

I can only follow suit and say:

"Then I would like to thank Commander Mu for his recommendation. Yibo will live up to his entrustment and do his best to restore Jiangnan to a bright future as soon as possible!"

Then he left and went to the Ministry of War to confirm the station.

Communicate with the transportation of rations, armaments and other materials.

I also got a document to mobilize the Ningbo Navy.

When Feng Yibo visited Mu Kun, Gouzi was not idle.

He was sent to visit Jia Yucun, who was already the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture.

When Jia Yucun saw Gouzi, he knew why Feng Yibo didn't come in person.

Without him, avoid suspicion.

"Master Fu Zun is well! My little master asked me to greet you on his behalf!"

Feng Yibo didn't even have a letter, only Gouzi's dictation.

and a money order.

"Mr. Lao is bothering you about Mr. Xue's matter."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Gouzi handed over the money order and said with a smile:
"My little master means that it's best not to think of a solution from Uncle Xue."

"You might as well deal with the person who was killed and his family first."

Having said that, Gouzi imitated Feng Yibo's usual appearance, and said with a smile:
"I heard that the couple are kidnappers."

After finishing speaking, I will not mention this matter any more, but say:
"When this matter is over, my little master will visit in person to thank the old man for his teaching before the exam."

After sending Gouzi away, Jia Yucun pondered for a long time.

It's not that he doesn't want to do things, but that he is reflecting on himself.

At the same time, I was feeling deeply about Feng Yibo's way of doing things.

It's really watertight.

Should I learn it myself?
If he was like this in the early years, he didn't need to cling to Jia's family.

In the end, he has to be a doormat in Jinling, where the rich and powerful are everywhere.

On the other side, Meng Zi led people to set off with Liu Zhao.

He was sent by Feng Yibo to recruit soldiers.

The target is Jinhua, Taizhou and other places.

These are places that were harassed by Japanese pirates not long ago.

According to Feng Yibo's meaning.

If someone in the family is killed, the young and strong can join the army first.

For the rest, priority is given to recruiting miners, trackers, etc. who are hardworking and obedient.

If you have a skill.

For example: can archery, can drive a boat, can count, can ride a horse, etc.

They are also priority candidates for recruitment.

The preliminary plan is to recruit 5000 people first, and the Baizhuang Ding brought by Mengzi will be in charge.

Train first, then filter gradually.

Eliminate the last place.

In the end, only 3000 people were left as soldiers.

Those who are eliminated also have the opportunity to become auxiliary soldiers.

"Those who want to fight Japanese pirates, hurry up!"

At the foot of a mine, Mengzi sat in a shed.

The several Zhuang Ding he brought shouted in turn.

"The imperial court has sent imperial envoys to train the new army!"

A group of miners just got off work, and this is the only way to go.

At this time, they couldn't help being attracted by the shouts.

"Whoever wants to eat imperial food, come quickly!"

Hearing this sentence, many people scoffed.

It is true that soldiers eat food.

But who doesn't know that the soldiers in the guard are worse than them.

In contrast, the next sentence caught the attention of many people.

"Eat, drink, and be full!"
