The emperor got Xia Yao's reward and thought about it for a long time. Thinking of the Japanese pirates that have been rampant along the coast for so many years. It has never been completely eradicated. This time I suffered such a big blow. If I don't use thunderous means to suppress it, I don't know how many years of trouble it will cause.
The emperor pulled out a note from the Long Case and read it for a long time, "Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't use the people you suspect. Bai Shinian, I'll give you this opportunity."
Touch the ten 100,000 taels of silver notes again. The emperor shook his head, this maid is really tight-lipped. I guess I saw some clues. Just make yourself worthless. From now on, I can stop answering calls openly.
The emperor didn¡¯t care either. Anyway, Wen Wan¡¯s real talent. When the right opportunity comes, even if you don't avoid her, sooner or later she will use it herself.
The emperor issued two imperial edicts to Bai Shinian, and they were in Bai Shinian¡¯s hands three days later. , an imperial edict was to promote Bai Shinian to the second rank and serve as the commander-in-chief of Fujian. Another imperial edict gave him the right to choose these three thousand people. He is solely responsible.
Bai Shinian received the imperial edict from the emperor and did not recover for a long time. What does this mean. Give him all the power, that is to say, he will do everything from selecting people to training. He tentatively sent a letter last time, but nothing happened, but he didn't expect that he agreed this time.
The brother next to him who crawled out from the pile of dead people, Zhang Yi, said in confusion, "Shi Nian, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" This is true delegation of power. It is up to Bai Shinian to hand over the control of these three thousand people. This is good for them. But he always felt that it was meaningful.
Bai Shinian didn't know the deeper meaning of this, but it was always a good thing. "No matter what the emperor means, at least the emperor gives us a chance. I will definitely not let down this opportunity given to me by the emperor. I will definitely let this army To become the most courageous army in Daqi, I believe that Japanese pirates will be frightened whenever they hear its name. I believe that within two years, I will be able to avenge my dead brothers." Bai Shinian's eyes flashed with hatred. If those brothers hadn't used their own flesh and blood to fight a bloody path for him, he would be here now. Also a pile of bones.
Zhang Yi grabbed Bai Shinian's hand. They firmly stated that they must avenge their dead brothers.
When night fell, Bai Shinian stood alone under the night. On a July night, the sky is bright blue. But when Bai Shinian thought of Pao Ze who had died so many times, the anger in his heart was boundless. And the culprit. He even fled to the Japanese pirates.
Zhang Yi came over and said, "Shi Nian, don't think so much. We will definitely avenge this and we will not let the blood of our brothers be shed in vain."
Bai Shinian had a cold face.
Zhang Yi knew that this could not be solved with just a few words. So he changed the topic, "Shi Nian, although the emperor agreed to our own formation of this army, he also agreed to let us train. But if you want to have sophisticated weapons and equipment, you need a lot of money. Now the court, even the military salaries of many brothers It can't be issued in time. I'm really worried that if we don't have sophisticated weapons and equipment, we won't be able to defeat the Japanese pirates."
Bai Shinian is actually worried about this problem in his heart. Recruiting troops, without sufficient backup support, is all in vain.
Zhang Yi saw that this topic made the atmosphere very dull, but he didn't want to increase Bai Shinian's burden. So he changed the topic, "In the past few years, Princess Wenwan has been said to be a famous virgin who amassed wealth. Do you think that if she intervened in this matter, we wouldn't have to worry about military expenses."
After hearing this, Bai Shinian said, "If she has such a heart, she can certainly raise the funds. Unfortunately, even if she has the ability, she will not do it."
Zhang Yi asked in surprise, "Why?" He just said that. No one really believes that the princess has this ability.
Bai Shinian said, "Avoid suspicion. As a noble woman, it is harmless to make money and do business behind the scenes. But if it is involved in government affairs, it will be a disaster. Although I have never met Princess Wenwan. But I believe that she must be an extremely smart person. A woman. With her young age, she was able to reach her current position with her own resourcefulness and help King Zheng fight against King Zhao. This level of scheming and means is something that only a few people can achieve. So, even if she really has this talent, she will definitely not interfere. "
Zhang Yi also agreed with this statement. Looking at Bai Shinian's expressionless expression, he said jokingly, "Actually, if Princess Wenwan doesn't have mute disease, I think she would be a good match for you. One is an unparalleled hero, and the other is virtuous, kind, benevolent and kind. A match made in heaven."
After hearing this, Bai Shinian said, "If she had not been mute, she would have been married into the royal family. Now, it is unknown."
Zhang Yi opened his eyes wide and said, "Shi Nian, you don't really have this idea, do you? Although Princess Wenwan is famous for her talents, I heard that she doesn't look very good, and she also has mute disease, which will be a big obstacle to the children. Don't you Will it be so??This idea. If you have this thought, get rid of it quickly, this is no joke. It is a major event related to the succession of the heirs. "What should I do if I have to give birth to a mute from now on? No wonder Zhang Yi is so panicked, Bai Shinian has never been a joker. Since he said this, he was very interested.
Bai Shinian looked at Zhang Yi's panic, and said calmly, "I don't have such an idea. I just said that I don't know whose family such a woman will marry. You don't have to worry, even if I really have this idea, the emperor will not She will marry me." With his reputation, even the emperor's true favorite would not marry him. Moreover, no matter how famous Princess Wenwan is, she will still have a mute disease. If the emperor issued an imperial edict granting marriage, it would also attract criticism. Unless he asked for marriage in person, but there was a huge age gap between the two of them, if he asked for it, it would be strange for the emperor not to suspect what his intentions were.
Seeing what Bai Shinian said, Zhang Yi felt relieved, "You didn't explain clearly, you scared me! But, Shi Nian, what kind of woman do you want? That Li Yuxue is really hard to find in the sky. There is no more stunning beauty on earth, how can you refuse her? "What kind of woman do you want?" Even now, his heart still beats loudly when he thinks of that woman!
Bai Shinian looked at him and said, "Even if a woman like this is ten times more beautiful, I will never take another look at her." There was another sentence left unsaid. Such a woman looks gentle, weak and harmless, but such a woman, The most terrifying. Even if he didn't regret being infatuated with him, he wouldn't be happy to accept it.
Bai Shinian did not deny Li Yuxue's feelings for him. Because whether it is true or false has nothing to do with him.
Zhang Yi was stunned, "They say you have met the Fox Fairy before? You are not really seduced by the Fox Fairy, are you?" Zhang Yi has always been dubious about this rumor. Because every time Bai Shinian was asked about this topic, he always responded with silence. This time is no exception.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
This time Bai Shinian unexpectedly said, "It's just a little fox."
Zhang Yi opened his mouth, "Ah, I really met a fox fairy, or a little fox fairy? How about it, how does it look? Is it more than a hundred times more beautiful than that Li Yuxue?"
Another small round face appeared in front of Bai Shinian's eyes, staring angrily at him with a pair of watery almond-shaped eyes. The look on his face that wanted to bite him, the prodigal son, to death has never been forgotten to this day. Even Bai Shinian didn't know how he could do such obscene things back then. Looking back now, I find it incredible. It's like there's something wrong. Unfortunately, he searched for a long time and still couldn't find the little fox until he joined the army.
Seeing that Bai Shinian was silent, Zhang Yi pushed him hard and said, "Tell me, is she more than a hundred times more beautiful than that Li Yuxue? She was so beautiful when she was a child, and now six years have passed, she is even more like a fairy."
Bai Shinian did not reply to Zhang Yi's words. She can't even be called a fairy, even the word "beautiful" is a compliment. But the little fox has the clearest eyes in the world. In the past few years, whenever he thought of those eyes that were as clear as water, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart. After experiencing so much, he realized that it was rare to find one person among ten thousand people with such a pair of pure eyes.
After so many years, he still couldn't forget the little fox. He even sent a letter asking his confidants to help him find it in Yuquan Temple. It's a pity that after searching for so many years, I still can't find it. It was as if he really just had a dream.
Zhang Yi murmured to himself when he saw Bai Shinian smiling. What kind of peerless beauty is this that can make Shi Nian so infatuated?
Bai Shinian recruited three thousand people. These three thousand people were all carefully selected by Bai Shinian. After being recruited into the army, intense training began.
What surprised the two of them was that the weapons and equipment given to them by the court were all the best. It can be seen from this that the emperor had very high expectations for this army.
For the emperor's strong support, the two acted more cautiously. However, what the two of them found strange was that less than three days after the training started, the emperor sent a storyteller. They also let the storyteller live in the military camp.
This storyteller went to the military camp to publicize the heinous crimes of the Japanese pirates, making it seem like the miserable scenes were right in front of their eyes.
Many of the soldiers here hate Japanese pirates (everyone in the coastal area does not hate Japanese pirates), but their hatred is just greater or smaller. Those who don't hate it are country people who don't go out. I don¡¯t have much knowledge, I just heard about it occasionally, but I don¡¯t have any personal experience. But now, with the storyteller's propaganda, no one is filled with anger.
When the storyteller described the scene that was like purgatory on earth, all the soldiers became even more angry and even smashed tables and chairs. They all determined to kill all these Japanese pirates so that their corpses would be gone. When it came time to train, even if Bai Shinian tried to train them again, no one even complained about pain or tiredness.
Wait untilWhen an army goes to the battlefield, when it sees Japanese pirates, it is like seeing an enemy of its father and an enemy of everyone. Dare to fight, not afraid of death, and fight very bravely. This powerful tiger army (named by the emperor) later frightened the Japanese pirates and was also the main force in quelling the Japanese pirates. These are all things for later. (To be continued)
