Chapter 766: Navy or Navy?

The naval parade was over. Qin Zhen and Chang Jianren went ashore. The fleet passed through the city and finally left through the East Water Gate.

The monarchs and ministers walked slowly on the royal street, and the sergeants on both sides blocked the people.

Zhao Shu seemed very interested. He looked around with his hands behind his hands and asked, "How do you compare the Song Dynasty with the previous dynasties?"

"bustling!"

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

"..."

There are all kinds of reviews, all good.

Zhao Shu saw that Shen An was smiling but not smiling, so he said, "Shen An, tell me."

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "The academy in Wuxue Lane has been completed, and we are just waiting to recruit people in the spring, right? Now that the Song Dynasty is at peace and the people are at peace, it would be good to have more talents."

The academy has completed the final decoration and is waiting for teachers and students to move in.

Shen An first nodded to Ouyang Xiu to express his gratitude, and then said: "In my opinion, in the former Han Dynasty, I would beat anyone who disobeyed, and in the former Tang Dynasty, I would beat anyone who was convinced... In the Song Dynasty..."

"This..." Han Qi quickly interrupted Shen An and said, "Well said! The Han and Tang Dynasties were heroic, and we must work hard to make the Song Dynasty flourish."

While trying to smooth things over, he cursed Shen An in his heart.

Needless to say, he knew what Shen An said next, and it was nothing more than saying that anyone who disobeyed Song Dynasty would be beaten.

It’s the Chinese New Year soon, I’m so excited!

He glanced at Zhao Shu secretly, but found no anger.

Is the official sick?

He didn't even scold Shen An!

"Some people say that the Han and Tang Dynasties were so aggressive in military affairs that the country gradually declined... What do you think, Shen An?"

Zhao Shu didn't get angry, but asked a question.

Shen An felt relieved and said: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty was destroyed by force. Even during the melee of the Three Kingdoms, a single family can still suppress foreign enemies."

This is a real masterpiece, I won’t accept it.

"The former Tang Dynasty was more about itself. It was hit by An Lushan and declined."

Li Longji inherited countless benefits left by Wu Zetian and built a great empire with a good foundation, but he was capsized by him.

Shen An pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The territory of the former Tang Dynasty was too large, and the stalls were too wide. In the end, it was impossible to take care of them all, and the national power was constantly being depleted..."

During Li Longji's period, the Tang Dynasty continued to wage wars, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty continued to expand, but it also brought about a problem, that is, the country's strength was insufficient.

There were no airplanes or cars at that time, so how could we control it thousands of miles away? How to support? The consumption on the road can make people vomit blood.

Zhao Shu said: "It seems that at least you are not blind."

If Shen An insists on opening up new territories, that would be unsound and even more nonsense.

What the Song Dynasty needs in this matter is to cultivate both internally and externally and step out step by step.

If you take too long a step, you will pull your balls!

But Shen An has confidence. This confidence comes from miscellaneous studies and Mangshan Academy.

"The navy has made a good start. The eighth year of Jiayou is coming to an end. My lords, today is a great victory. You and I, my king and my ministers, are happy together."

Immediately, a banquet was held in the palace, and Qin Zhen and Chang Jianren were also called for questioning by the emperor and his ministers.

"...Those merchants resisted, so I had to kill them all."

Chang Jianren spoke seriously, as if those businessmen were really resisting.

Unfortunately, they resisted only because the former navy of the Song Dynasty was too ruthless.

"The same goes for those Liao people."

Chang Jianren just wants to go home and see his wife and children, but the officials don't speak, so he can only stand with Qin Zhen.

Zhao Xu was also there. He glanced at Chang Jianren and saw that his face was dark, so he knew that this guy had been practicing a lot.

What a good seedling!

Zhao Shu suddenly smiled and asked: "Qin Zhen, how about Chang Jianren's trip to sea this time?"

Zhao Shu was very interested in knowing the process of turning a civil servant into a military general.

"Heroes!"

Qin Zhen summed up Chang Jianren's trip in just two words.

Zeng Gongliang said dissatisfied: "Tough general? How long has he been in the navy? How did he become a tough general?"

Han Qi also felt that this was a case of lying about his military exploits, so he asked: "Only those who can kill enemy generals on the battlefield, and who are unstoppable when charging can be called a strong general. How many people did Chang Jianren kill?"

"he……"

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "In every battle, Chang Jianren was with those fierce soldiers who jumped into the gang. Later, he would be the first to jump over and kill the enemy in every battle. In every battle... he gained a lot. He was known in the army as A tough guy."

Damn it!

Everyone is looking at Qin Zhen.

Fu Bi said: "He is so thin that he can be blown away by a gust of wind. How can he be so powerful?"

The doubt in these words is very strong.

Qin Zhen lowered his head and said, "Prime Minister Fu, all the navy troops on this trip can testify. Chang Jianren leads the way and is unstoppable!"

There was no need for Qin Zhen to endorse Chang Jianren, and he even swore that people from the navy could testify.

This is proof beyond doubt!

Fu Bi's suspicion dissipated, but he was just a little confused.

Ouyang Xiu was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes and said, "I remember that Chang Jianren was good at painting and a nice person, but he didn't talk much. But how could he suddenly change when he was such a polite person? ?”

This can probably only be explained by genetic mutation. Chang Jianren's changes.

All eyes were focused on Chang Jianren. Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Last time I was tricked by An Bei to kill the enemy in the southwest. I still remember how I felt at that time, fear, fear, and finally confusion. So I was thinking about it. ! How could this man suddenly become a warrior?"

He looked at Chang Jianren, smiled and said, "For what?"

Everyone felt that this question was like a mountain, flying directly over it. Chang Jianren would probably be a little at a loss.

"Chen..." Chang Jianren felt that his voice was too low, so he raised his voice, "I was working in the Hanlin Academy. At that time, I thought I could do it for the rest of my life. But then something happened, and I wanted to be a military man. A civil servant became a military man. It will be very difficult, and I am very scared. At this moment, Shen Daizhao said something to me..."

Shen An was drinking. Hearing this, he raised his glass in a distant salute, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Chang Jianren said: "Shen Daizhao said that since there is no way to retreat, then go all out and fight. There is no mercy on the battlefield. If you don't kill, people will kill you...I can only kill the enemy, otherwise I will be killed."

"Those warriors who jumped into the gang were not wearing armor, because if they fell into the water wearing armor, they would definitely die. I followed them and jumped over with my upper body naked. The enemy troops on the opposite side were well prepared, and the boat was narrow. One encounter would determine life or death, otherwise The random swords on the side will chop you to death... I have to fight with all my strength."

This is the journey of a civilian officer who has no retreat and joins the army. Everyone could not help but be silent after hearing this.

Zhao Shu ordered: "Give him wine."

In the presence of the prime ministers and assistants, the officials rewarded the warriors with drinks, which was a great honor.

Someone brought drinks, and Chang Jianren drank them all in one gulp.

This is an example of a civil servant turning into a military officer. Zhao Shu felt that it was necessary to show some kindness, "After this battle, do you think there is anything that the Navy needs to improve on?"

This question is very broad. If you answer it well, you will have a bright future. If you cannot answer it well, just keep squatting.

"Your Majesty, the Navy's ship is still too small."

Chang Jianren felt that this was a God-given opportunity. "I encountered stormy waves this time when I went to sea. The warship was bumping in the wind and waves, which was quite dangerous. The boatmen said that the best way to withstand the stormy waves is to build a big ship. The bigger the ship, the better it can carry it. So. I take the liberty to kindly request..."

He glanced at Bao Zheng and said, "I wonder if the harvest this time has been sold to the navy for shipbuilding."

Bao Zheng's face turned dark immediately.

He has somewhere to go with all that money. If it is gone, he will have another headache at the beginning of the new year.

Han Qi looked at Chang Jianren with interest, thinking that this guy was a bit strange.

Generally, when officials ask if they have any questions, you just talk about small things and the matter is settled, and both the emperor and his ministers will be happy.

But you don’t talk about problems, you only talk about expectations.

What does this mean?

This means that we can solve the problem ourselves. Don't mess with it. Just give us money.

How courageous!

Shen An suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the navy is wandering around in the lakes and offshore. This is called the navy. But can it be called the navy?"

Zhao Shu's heart moved and he asked: "What is the navy?"

"The navy hangs around the door of the house. The navy, as the name suggests, goes to the sea. The sea has colors..."

Shen An looked at Zhao Shu and said: "The offshore sea is light blue, like a cradle rocked by a mother. It is safe, but you cannot know the secrets of the sea. And when you go to the deep sea and see the vast ocean everywhere, you will find that the sea is It's dark blue. Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide whether the Song Dynasty will have a naval force or a navy."

This guy actually brought some private goods with him!

Fu Bi couldn't help but dumbfounded.

What everyone was talking about was the outcome of the naval battle. When the officials asked Chang Jianren, they only asked for his opinion on the navy. But you, Shen An, are good, you can see light blue and dark blue when you open your mouth. I wish the Song Dynasty could cover the sea with warships overnight.

"Light blue, dark blue, this is a good saying, I was fascinated after hearing it." Zhao Shu did not give an answer, "If the Song Dynasty went to the far sea and saw dark blue, what would happen to it?"

"You will see countless opportunities, countless gold, silver, copper and iron, countless spices, and countless fertile lands..."

The sea in this era is barren, and the cannibals are not enough to control the order of the sea. They are just merchants.

As long as the Song Dynasty reaches out and gains countless benefits from the sea, Shen An firmly believes that the future sea belongs to the Song Dynasty and no one can take it away!

Money!

There are no such dogmas and rules in this era. As long as it is beneficial, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty will agree to go to sea without hesitation.

Therefore, before the navy went to sea, Shen An told Qin Zhen that he must capture merchant ships as much as possible so that the DPRK could see the benefits.

Now the benefits are seen.

Look at Bao Zheng, those eyes are full of greed.

As the Third Secretary, he wished he could break a penny in half and use it. In order to fill countless holes, he has been so busy recently that he has not even been to the Shen family. It is said that even Bao Shou has been left out.

Zhao Shu pondered: "Building a larger warship... will cost a lot."

He was moved.

Han Qi resolutely responded: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty is indistinguishable from the Liao people on land, but the Liao people are vulnerable on the water. If the Song Dynasty navy is strong, they can even land from the northern coast and attack at any time. , or to contain the Liao people."

Qin Zhen held his hand, Zhao Shu nodded, and then he said: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking that if the Liao people attack the Song Dynasty, the navy will come ashore with a cavalry from behind them, constantly harassing the Liao army's food routes. Even We can launch an attack directly from the Liao people’s Nanjing Road and set their home base on fire!”

So full of energy!

Compared with the Forbidden Army, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net The morale of the navy was significantly higher. They were not afraid of fighting the Liao people, and were even eager to fight.

How could the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty be dissatisfied with such an army?

Zhao Shu was satisfied with the navy's vigor.

"How is Pu Jiu?" Zhao Shu asked calmly: "Is it reliable?"

Is this an agreement to build a big ship?

Shen An felt happy and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will have a good chat with him. He is an honest person and will never refuse your kindness."

Everyone's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

The so-called chat, according to Shen An's urine, is probably a threat.

If Pu Jiu disobeys, the fish in Jinming Pond will eat more meat.
