    When Fang Ling first saw Zhang Ning, he first showed a look of surprise, and then softly chanted with pretense of resentment: "If life is just like the first meeting, why is the autumn wind sad painting fan The prince finally thought of me, or Yao  Did the madam ask you to come?"

    Zhang Ning said decisively: "I want to come myself."

    Fang Ling added: "I didn't even expect you to come. I should prepare myself and wear casual clothes. Hey"

    But seeing that she was wearing a light shirt and white skirt, which was old but elegant, Zhang Ning really couldn't tell the difference between the occasions when she was carefully dressed up, such as when she walked around Yao Ji's place, and now. Maybe Fang Ling paid too much attention to details.  Those places were precisely those places that Zhang Ning found it difficult to pay attention to.  Her boudoir is brightly decorated, with colorful bead curtains, red curtains, and even the cushions on the chairs are made of satin.  Everyone has external preferences. Fang Ling has the kind of mentality of "big on the outside and small on the inside." Her clothes are always very plain. If she didn't pay attention to the lace, she would look just like  She wears the same filial piety, but her nails and even toes are painted with paint, her eyebrows are always carefully trimmed and painted, and her face is painted with makeup. These places still faintly reveal the smell of dust that she has been exposed to for a long time.

    Fang Ling and others should not be lonely, because Yao Ji often goes to the garden with everyone to play cards, watch flowers, admire the moon, and even horse racing and Cuju.  So much so that occasionally when Zhang Ning meets them chatting and having fun together, he can't get in the middle of the conversation, just like an outsider; but this is just an appearance, they still need a man to accompany them, maybe sex is secondary, but to be cared for.  The psychological comfort of caring.

    Zhang Ning sat down on the chair, waiting for Fang Ling to help him get hot water to wipe his face and wash his feet.  While she served briskly, she gossiped: "You always don't come. I thought the new person is better than the old one (referring to Bai Fengjiao?). You dislike people like me."

    "What kind of person?" Zhang Ning asked, pretending to be unhappy.

    Fang Ling whispered: "I am self-aware, so naturally I am not as innocent as others."

    Zhang Ning said seriously: "Others can dislike you, but I will never."

    After hearing this, Fang Ling thought he was going to say some sexy love talk. Although it was very fake and he had heard it a lot in the past, it was not unpleasant to hear it just for fun.  She followed the words and asked, "Why?"

    Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning said: "Chunhan is from a scholarly family and comes from a high-ranking official's family. Why was he trapped in the old courtyard since he was a child? It's not because Mr. Xunzhi (Fang Xiaoru) is very upright and was persecuted for the sake of my father, the Emperor.  The people of the Jianwen family are treating such people unfairly. Doesn¡¯t it chill the hearts of those who are loyal? So people in the world can laugh at you ignorantly, but I will never. When our army regains the country, it will definitely bring justice to the Fang family.  Mr. Zhi has a reputation of being loyal and good through the ages, and I will also give Chunhan a reputation."

    Zhang Ning was well known to Fang Xiaoru in later generations and had both positive and negative reviews, but the official comments were mostly about foolish loyalty.  But no matter what future generations say, Zhang Ning's position was not wrong. If he didn't praise Fang Xiaoru, how could Emperor Jianwen still have the legitimate position of a prince?  When others are loyal to your family, you say they are foolishly loyal. That is really wrong.

    Ru Wugenzhiping's sweet words couldn't move Fang Ling, but such a well-founded reason convinced her. She looked at Zhang Ning excitedly: "Is everything you said true?"

    "It's absolutely true. When have I ever lied to you?" Zhang Ning took a breath and said gently, "It's just that now that the big thing has not been accomplished, it is not convenient for me to wantonly collect beautiful women and let others talk about them. People outside don't know the inside story. They are the most  I heard that I have several concubines. Except for the princess, Xu Wenjun is helpless because the granddaughter of his old friend Lao Xu is helpless; Bai Fengjiao is a good friend of Miao Jiang. The two secondary concubines have nothing worth talking about. Things between the two of us will be discussed in the future.  I will definitely fulfill my promise. If our love lasts forever, why would we have to stay together?"

    "Yeah." Fang Ling sat on his lap and snuggled softly into his arms, whispering as softly as water, "Although you still smell like some woman's powder, I don't care.  , as long as I can have a little place in your heart Where in this world can there be such a good husband as the prince?"

    Zhang Ning suddenly felt warm and comfortable. He hoped that his woman could be cared for like this.  Of course, as he said, such things can only be done quietly, and there is no need to expose the affair to the outside world Many of the soldiers are illiterate, but they are also caring: I am working hard in the front, but you are playing with women unscrupulously in the back.  ?  This is naturally not good.

    ¡°Li Zicheng, another insurrectionist in my memory, is said to have taken over a hundred wives as soon as he occupied a village.  No wonder he failed in the uprising and missed out on becoming the king; he was not that kind of person, how could he later allow his subordinates to play with Sangui's woman?

    Skirts are indeed the most suitable lower garment for women. Only skirts can bring out the best lines of her buttocks. Fang Ling's buttocks were sitting on his lap, and he was holding her waist in his hands. It felt straight.  Heart-warmingRipples, Zhang Ning soon had a reaction.  Fang Ling smiled slightly and said: "Hasn't someone else served you before? Is it okay again?" Zhang Ning said softly: "It's just that you are so lovely." Naturally, he would not say that he had only married the second daughter of the emperor not long ago.  Of course a lustful person must have some skills.  Gu Long once said that there are people who like to drink without limit, and who are lustful but not persistent. Zhang Ning is not that kind of person.

    ¡­¡­

    Two days later, Zhang Ning temporarily restrained his indulgence because the cabinet drew up a naval plan, but by this time he had already cared about all the women he should accompany.

    He read the dozens of pages of memorials from morning to night just after reading it for the first time, and he didn't even pay attention to the details.  The content contains three parts, shipbuilding, military training, and other chores, with a detailed time schedule.  Zhang Ning felt that the performance of the table was written with such care and professionalism. It could only be done by someone with real talent and hard work.

    Zhang Ning felt a little complacent for a while. He felt that not only could he attract talents, but the key was to recognize who the talents were. Obviously, these officials in the cabinet were not only familiar with the rules of the officialdom, but also had real abilities. They were not the kind of people who only know how to wield power.  Comparable.

    What kind of ship to build and how to build it all have detailed arrangements and schedules.  The hull materials are mainly nanmu and tung oil, which need to be transported from Huguang to Jiujiang. There are more nanmu in Southeast Asia, but not much in Huguang. Building dozens of boats can handle it.  With Xu Zixin's staff as the core, shipyard craftsmen were recruited from Yuezhou, Wuchang, and Jiujiang. The governor of Jiangxi personally supervised the expenditure of wood, money, and food.  Zhang Ning noticed a construction description recorded in it. He didn't know that the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was not bad at all. Carpenters could directly use wood to rivet the large keel, and also used glue to seal the gaps in the ship. It seemed to be the wood version of welding technology.  ; And the boatmen know how to double-seal the hull with tung oil and paint to prevent corrosion.  Zhang Ning was once again shocked by the technology of the "indigenous people". He thought that although he was a descendant, if he didn't make good use of local resources, what he knew would be too little compared to what he needed.

    Zhang Ning thought of Zheng He's fleet of treasure ships that could go to sea, and accidentally had the idea of ??coveting it again, thinking that it was a priceless treasure.  It was not just a navy with more than 20,000 people going overseas to show off its power, nor was it a waste of money that drained the country's power. In Zhang Ning's eyes, it was a complete team.  From more advanced shipbuilding design and practical technology to navigation experience, they are not rare wealth. They are valuable experiences that only a unified empire with a vast territory can use the resources to accumulate.  It is a pity that future generations no longer have the broad-mindedness of Emperor Yongle. Although he is on the opposite side, Zhang Ning still holds a positive attitude towards Yongle's achievements.

    Preparations for the dock began last year, and the Ministry of War estimates that it will take at least half a year to complete the transportation and construction of materials; it will also take time to train soldiers and organize generals to practice tactics.  If you do this, you will miss the rising water season this summer, and the plan to launch a large-scale amphibious attack on Nanjing this year may be delayed because the Suzaku Army Navy's main force, the Heian Ship, has thirty-two naval guns, a huge hull, and a large displacement.  Up to 800 materials, naturally it is best for such a large ship to be dispatched during the rich water season, as the water depth is safer.  Zhu Heng's suggestion was to send scouts along the river to explore and measure the water depth and make early preparations.

    The recruitment and training of naval officers also started last year. They can first be trained on land and on small boats, and then wait for the construction of new ships to be completed before boarding the ships for training.  The Ping An ship is scheduled to carry 200 people, and the 20 capital ships require 4,000 navy crew members. Plus some auxiliary boats, a total of 4,500 people are needed.  Since there was a First Naval Battalion in Yuezhou with poorly equipped ships, the newly established Navy in Jiujiang was naturally numbered as the Second Naval Battalion.

    At present, with the support of the Ministry of War, the organizational structure of the Navy has almost been set up.  Cabinet minister Shangshu Yao Fang was the prime minister in charge of Jiangxi Navy and Army Affairs and was in charge of military power.  (Yao and Zhou are named Shangshu. They are the two Shangshu of Gonghu respectively. They basically do not care about the affairs of the Six Ministries. It is also because they are military commanders. The five Shangshu in the Huguang Cabinet are the only ones missing the Punishment Department. The Jianwen court temporarily canceled the central review.  The rules of local cases and the power of criminal law are handed over to the Huguang Procuratorate and the Jiangxi Procuratorate for review and control respectively.)

    Yao Erlang, the son of Monk Yao, handed over the military power of Yuezhou Barracks and became the deputy general of the Second Battalion of the Navy that was being formed.  His official position was almost due to the fact that he was the cousin of the King of Xiang. Everyone knew that Yao Erlang knew nothing about water warfare and gave him training as a deputy general, but they did not dare to directly hand over military power to him.  The naval commander was Zhu Guangyang, who was recommended by Monk Yao. According to the files submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this man was originally a naval general of Yuezhou's official army. After Yuezhou surrendered, Zhu Guangyang defected to Monk Yao because Monk Yao had a crush on him.  Well, he worshiped Monk Yao as his adoptive father.  Since he was recommended by Monk Yao, his position should not be a big problem. He had also served as a navy general and was familiar with naval warfare. The Ministry of War could not find anyone for a while, so it agreed to this person as the commander of the Second Battalion of the Navy.

    Zhang Ning doesn¡¯t know Zhu Guangyang either, and has never even met him.  But soon the Navy¡¯s trusted generals will come to Wuchang for ¡°training¡± and they can meet and get to know each other.For a moment.
