Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This time Li Dong came to Tianjin with only two generals, Wang Ping and Li Xiang, and 1,200 trained navy personnel.

    Because he was afraid of being seen by others, Li Dong did not make too much publicity. After the army arrived in Tianjin, they directly stationed themselves in the Tianjin training camp of Jinyiwei. However, Li Dong and his party entered Tianjin lightly. They did not intend to alarm others. Li Dong's original intention  I want to secretly take a look at where Tianjin has developed and whether there is any negative development momentum.

    But where is Tianjin now? It is the headquarters of the Jinyiwei. All the Jinyiwei spies in the entire Ming Dynasty are going to Tianjin for training. These people are not vegetarians. What if Li Dong and the others were allowed to sneak into Tianjin without anyone noticing?  What a joke.

    Besides, Li Dong and the others are really eye-catching. They don't look like businessmen or scholars, and they don't want to be nobles. Moreover, their waists are bulging and they are obviously carrying guys. Therefore, Li Dong and the others haven't entered Tianjin City Gate yet, at least let them know.  More than ten groups of Jinyi guards were on the lookout, and even alerted Tianjin's Public Security Department. In the end, Li Dong had no choice but to let Li Liang reveal his identity, and the group was respectfully invited into the Governor's Mansion.

    As soon as Zhao Xingbang heard that Li Xiang had come to Tianjin, he thought the emperor had some important instructions. He immediately put down his official duties and ran over. When he saw Li Dong's smiling face, he stopped suddenly and stood there blankly: "Emperor  "He was about to kneel down, but he immediately asked Li Dong to support him. "I ran out secretly, so don't make any noise."

    Zhao Xingbang struggled a little, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the personnel in the Governor's Mansion have been thoroughly checked three times, and they are very safe!" As he said this, he saluted Li Dong and paid homage, "My lord, Zhao Xingbang, long live my emperor!" he said.  His voice trembled a little when he said this.

    He lost his father when he was young, his family property was taken away from him, and his life was miserable. Later, he was taken as a slave by the Mongols, and he lived a life of scanty clothing and food. The suffering in life seemed to have no end in sight. He had cursed him countless times.  God, why did he treat him like this? However, after God tempered him, he gave him a different life experience. All the good things happened one after another overnight. He entered the court as an official without any fame. This  It can be said to be an anomaly in the century of Ming Dynasty.

    And the most important thing is that he also has another identity as Li Dong's uncle. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his relatives would have too much power, so he stipulated that royal relatives were not allowed to hold real power, but apparently this rule was broken by Li Dong.

    "Get up, get up, I have to call you uncle in private." Li Dong walked into the main hall with a smile.  As he walked, he said, "I took a quick look just now. The development of Tianjin is still very good. I also saw a lot of people from outside the country opening shops. The business seems to be much more prosperous than when I left, and the sanitation is especially good."  , the streets are neat and clean, and the water in the river is crystal clear. It's obvious that you have put in a lot of effort, and I am very satisfied! You have worked diligently in the local area for two more years. When there is peace in the court, I will transfer you to the central government.  "

    Zhao Xingbang was stunned for a moment, and was overjoyed. He immediately bowed and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your cultivation!"

    "My family, don't be careful like that. By the way, when you have time, write to your sister more often, or take the time to go to Beijing to see her. She misses you very much. This is the purse she sewed for you." Li Dong said  He took out a gold silk purse from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xingbang.

    Zhao Xingbang slowly took the purse, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, and he missed his sister very much. He faced the capital and knelt down, "Thank you, my lady, for thinking about me!"

    Li Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. These scholars were full of moral ethics, which brother would kowtow to his sister.

    "Go and call Chen Xin, I have something to tell him."

    "I obey the order!" Zhao Xingbang immediately bowed and went down to deliver the order.

    While flipping through the official documents on Zhao Xingbang's desk, Li Dong asked Wang Ping beside him, "I didn't even come to ask you on the way, what kind of training did you have on Chen Xin's navy? Don't show it to people."  "

    Wang Ping raised the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face, "Commander, I am a soldier trained according to your methods. I dare not say anything when I am old. Orders and prohibitions are necessary!"

    "Have you seen any blood? How good are those people in fighting?"

    Wang Ping shook his head, "I haven't seen blood yet. I have only practiced in the army. Land battles shouldn't be a big problem. As for naval battles? I'm not used to naval battles, so I don't know whether they can do it or not. But these people are all good at it."  I was born into a military family on the seaside, so I guess I have a water nature in my body, so naval battles should be similar"

    "What nonsense are you talking about? Naval warfare is not about holding a knife in your mouth, swimming over and slashing at others. There is a lot of knowledge in that."

    Wang Ping chuckled.

    "Okay, you don't have to worry about this anymore. Leave the rest to Prince Long. He should handle matters on the sea."?We are familiar!  "

    Just as he was talking, he saw Chen Xin running in panting, and he bowed his head and said, "My subordinate Chen Xin, please pay homage to the Emperor!"

    Li Dong almost laughed out loud when he saw Chen Xin's appearance. Chen Xin was wearing casual clothes at home. The clothes had gone away. One foot was still bare. His hair was not combed. He made a bun casually, but still used  The chopsticks are stuck in the hairpin.

    "What are you doing?" Li Dong smiled and helped Chen Xin up.

    "When my subordinates heard that Your Majesty was coming, they couldn't wait to run over! Your Majesty, when are we going to kill Han Dongkai?"

    Li Dong was stunned, why is this kid so impatient? He is more interested in killing Han Dongkai than me. How could Li Dong know that Chen Xin is just sitting in Tianjin like this, doing nothing all day long and almost going crazy? Now Li Dong doesn't care about his arrangements.  Whatever work you give Chen Xin, Chen Xin will be very happy.

    "From the tone of your voice, everything has been arranged for Han Dongkai?"

    "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as Han Dongkai dares to leave his lair, his subordinates will dare to pat their chests and guarantee that his head no longer belongs to him. To be on the safe side, I have transferred five hundred lines from my father"  The warships came to help in the battle, and with the internal support, Han Dongkai was unable to fly! But"

    "But what?" Li Dong frowned, thinking that there was something else going on.

    "However, the sea is extremely dangerous, with strong winds and waves, and unpredictable sea winds and tides. Moreover, the various warships of the pirates are now equipped with artillery. Just in case in case a stray bullet hits the ship, cough cough.  Your Majesty, a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and a gentleman cannot stand under a wall. Your Majesty, you shoulder the hopes of billions of people. Isn't it too risky?"

    "When you say that, I'm really a little scared, but I'm afraid of returning. I still have to go out of this sea. Not only do I have to go out today, but I will also take you out in the future to ride the wind and waves out of this sea. I want to  Plant the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the sea!"

    After listening to Li Dong's words, Chen Xin felt a surge of air from his belly to his head, almost bursting out of his head. He looked at Li Dong with a red face, "Subordinate I am willing to be the emperor."  Under the saddle, before and after the horse, do the work of the dog and horse! We will do it until death!"

    "Okay, Chen Xin, I will make you a naval officer and command the newly established Ming Dynasty Navy!"

    ?? Chen Xin stood there with his mouth open, "General, that is a third-grade general, how can he be such an official?"

    "SubordinateSubordinatebut I don't have any soldiers?"

    Li Dong really didn¡¯t expect Chen Xin to say such a thing, and laughed loudly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I will take you to see your soldiers!¡±

    Tianjin, suburbs.

    The flag is fluttering in the wind, and the tiger is as fierce as the forest.

    One thousand two hundred naval soldiers, wearing red tasseled military caps and neat blue and white navy uniforms, stood there silently.

    Looking horizontally, it¡¯s a line, looking vertically, it¡¯s a line, looking diagonally, it¡¯s still a line.

    The soldiers raised their heads slightly, their military cap belts tightly holding their chins.  The sun on the beach was very poisonous, and it was still noon. The strong sunlight shone on them, and beads of sweat fell down their faces, but no one moved, even their eyes took a long time to blink.

    ??How could this kind of killing be something that was dared to be imagined just a few months ago?

    The 1,200 naval soldiers stood motionless for who knows how long.  Like a group of sculptures, the green mountains in the distance and the sea water around them seem to have calmed down. With their eternal presence, their military power has been victorious, something that has not been seen for hundreds of years.

    The bugle suddenly sounded like a whimper, and the sound of horse hooves was heard. A strong horse took the lead. The man on the horse also had a straight military cap and uniform. The eyes of all the officers and soldiers, as if they were hypnotized by the man, slowly turned with him.

    Who else besides Li Dong!

    Li Dong¡¯s eyes were like lightning, and he swept through the queue, dismounting his horse and not stopping.  In the quiet scene, he was the only one stirring up smoke and dust as he galloped back and forth.  After two back and forths, he reined in his horse and turned over, looking at the soldiers in front of him with bright eyes.

    Without saying a word, Li Dong took a military flag from Wang Ping behind him and shook it violently. At this time, God came to join in the fun. The sea breeze suddenly rose, and the flag in his hand was rolled up and flying.

    A simple-looking dragon with splayed claws and fangs is soaring on the flag!

    Li Dong looked up at the flag and was filled with emotion.  This giant dragon in the East has been sleeping on the land for too long. It¡¯s time for him to swim in the sea and let the world know that he is awake!

    All the soldiers also looked at the flag, and for a moment they only heard the sound of the flag fluttering.  The blue dragon on the flag was flying up and down, as if it was about to take off from the flag.

    The blue dragon entered the sea and soared into the sky.

      "This is your military flag, your symbol, your soul! This flag represents your army! No matter how your name changes in the future, no matter how many people die. This military flag will forever rule the Ming Dynasty!  The Ming Dynasty¡¯s navy has become an army!¡±

    One thousand two hundred voices shouted at the flag and Li Dong at the same time, "Your Majesty! Long live! Navy! Mighty!" Along with the shouts, the sea breeze blew, and the waves hit the shore one after another.

    These are the passionate young people of the Ming Dynasty. They finally have someone to follow and a banner to defend!

    Li Dong stood there upright, holding the military flag in his hand. In the eyes of many people, they could no longer tell the difference between him and the military flag. They seemed to be one whole and would exist forever.

    Chen Xin looked at the flag from the side with hot eyes.  He kept sniffling, fearing that his tears would remain.

    Li Dong looked back at Chen Xin and asked, "Chen Xin, you are not a soldier. Do you know what the orders and prohibitions in the army are?"

    "To report to your Majesty, my subordinates read the military manual and said that once there is an order from the leading general, the soldiers will all fight bravely, regardless of life or death!"

    Li Dong smiled slightly, "That's what the book says, and today I'm going to let you see if it's true!" Li Dong shouted to the naval phalanx, "Everyone is here, turn back! Let's walk together!"

    One thousand and two hundred soldiers turned around neatly, and then surged back neatly like a tide. Behind them was the rough sea water, and the waves were beating violently on the shore.

    It didn¡¯t take long to see that the military boots of the officers and soldiers in the last row had already stepped into the sea water, but the team did not hesitate and rushed forward against the waves.

    Li Dong just watched with squinted eyes, showing no sign of Yihao giving an order to stop.

    Chen Xin stood there with his mouth open, as if he had been ordered to freeze.  The navy's queue was now in complete chaos, and the seawater had already reached the chests of the first row of soldiers. Only then did Chen Xin react and grabbed Li Dong's arm fiercely: "Your Majesty! I understand what is forbidden! Order the tigers and soldiers  Stop! Your Majesty, give the order!"

    Li Dong is not distressed, but he, Chen Xin, is terribly distressed. These are his precious little things.

    Li Dong smiled, nodded to the ordering soldier, and the horn sounded to stop the advance.

    The torrent stopped abruptly, and the bodies of the soldiers in the sea rose and fell with the waves, but they still tried their best to maintain a straight posture.

    Li Dong looked back at Chen Xin again. At this time, he hesitated in his heart. Do I really want to hand over this army to him?  Chen Xin met Li Dong's gaze and looked at Li Dong firmly, with no hesitation or distracting thoughts in his eyes.  Li Dong slowly handed the military flag to Chen Xin's hand, "I leave these sons to you, don't let me down!"

    "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will live up to your Majesty's trust and let this flag fly across thousands of miles of sea!"

    "None of these men have seen blood. Let's take them to see blood tomorrow!"
