Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Unlike Li Jiyi, Li Jixiao's feelings were deeper.  Although they all live in the bottom cabin, the terrible thing is that Li Jixiao¡¯s shed is located near the toilet where he defecates.  "Toilet" is Li Zhongyi's usual name, and his sons also followed suit.  In fact, the toilet in the palace was called the "Trojan Horse".  The smell of feet, sweat, rotten rice, and the smell of feces are all mixed together, and the smell is simply a nightmare. ?? How has Li Jixiao, a wealthy man, ever suffered like this?  "However, with Li Jiyi in the expedition team, Li Jixiao would rather be smoked out than find the co-president Zhang Sanzheng to open the back door.  This is the benefit of competition!  Who doesn¡¯t want thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?  Since your father has given you the same opportunity, you should seize the opportunity with all your strength. If you try hard and cannot win, then you can only accept your fate.  ¡°This hasn¡¯t even started yet, and you¡¯ve already retreated. How big a deal could it be?  The biological mother of the emperor¡¯s second son Li Jixiao was Fei Meiniang.  Because Li Zhongyi was still Zhou Chen at the time, he did not dare to expose Fei Meiniang's true identity.  For a long time, Fei Meiniang and her two children lived outside the Li family's mansion.  The experience of being a fatherless bastard left a very deep impression on Li Jixiao.  Zhang Sanzheng had long known about the difficult situation of the two princes, and he had been waiting for them to come to him and open the back door.  Unexpectedly, from the day of departure to Binzhou at the seaport, there was no trace of the princes.  Zhang Sanzheng nodded secretly. If he can't even endure such a small hardship, then he should not worry about his future position as crown prince, right?  In Binzhou, because they were about to go to sea, the First Association took a temporary rest for a day in order to wait for the delivery of seasickness medicine.  The waves in the inland river are only three or four feet high at most, while the waves can reach an exaggerated height of three or four feet.  Based on the experience summarized by the Donghai Navy, even experienced fishermen in inland rivers are likely to get seasick when they go to sea.  Therefore, the seasickness medicine specially prepared by Li Zhongyi has become an indispensable strategic material for the new officers and soldiers.  Binzhou, located at the estuary of the Yellow River, is the joint base of the East China Sea Navy and the Yellow River Navy.  Among them, the first base of the Donghai Navy was in Mingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, which is modern Ningbo.  Under the coordination of Zhang Sanzheng, all the officers and soldiers of the First Association came ashore and marched into the Donghai Navy's combat camp.  In the camp, Li Jiyi finally took a nice hot bath, changed into dry clothes, and then collapsed on the long-lost wooden bed.  Although it is still Datongpu, the fresh air full of sunshine and warmth makes people particularly comfortable.  Zhang Sanzheng sat down in the office of the Admiral of the Donghai Division. He wanted to coordinate and transfer the seasickness medicine from the Donghai Division Battle Camp to the new troops of the First Association.  After the seasickness medicine transferred from Mingzhou is delivered to Binzhou, it will be directly supplied to the battle barracks of the Donghai Navy.  However, Lin Renzhao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and the Admiral of the East China Sea Navy, did not follow Zhang Sanzheng¡¯s tactics.  Lin Renzhao said with a straight face: "I gave you the medicine. If the imperial court mobilizes my troops to fight, wouldn't it be a delay in fighting?" "Isn't this only one day apart? Old man, I just wanted to fight.  It¡¯s just a matter of discussion, let¡¯s be accommodating.¡± Zhang San was from the Laohechi Township Army, and he somewhat looked down on Lin Renzhao, a retired general, and his tone of voice was a bit deceptive.  Who is Lin Renzhao?  In the past, he dared not give face to Li Yu, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty.  After surrendering to the Han Dynasty, he still dared not give the emperor face.  Zhang Sanzheng was just a co-commander of the New Army, and Lin Renzhao really didn't take him seriously.  "Everything must be done in accordance with military orders. There is no room for accommodation." Lin Renzhao pushed back aggressively, which immediately angered Zhang Sanzheng.  "Pa." Zhang Sanzheng slammed the table and said angrily, "You say it again?" "The military order is overwhelming. Without orders from above, I can't even give you half a pill." Lin Renzhao was not angry, but solemnly emphasized.  The reality that no one can mess around without orders.  In this matter, Zhang Sanzheng was actually at fault.  According to the military order, the seasickness medicine was supposed to be delivered tomorrow, but he insisted on using the medicine from the Donghai Marine Battle Camp, which was a bit of a bully.  If it were in an ordinary feudal army, Lin Renzhao's bad temper would probably suffer a big loss.  If the arrogant generals with lax military discipline cause trouble at the Binzhou Pier, Lin Renzhao, a surrendered general without a strong backer, is likely to suffer.  Because, in an ordinary feudal army, whenever two groups of soldiers and horses fight each other, usually the superiors will each fight fifty pieces.The First Association's troops and horses are strong, no matter what, they are much stronger than the navy's combat barracks.  Once they each hit fifty, the navy will definitely suffer.  However, the time for Lin Renzhao to surrender to the Han was not too short.  He knew clearly that instigating officers and soldiers to cause trouble without authorization was absolutely prohibited by military law, and it would be a minor offense to lose one's head.  Binzhou is the outlet of the Yellow River and is a very prominent military town. There is a gendarmerie camp directly under the General Military Justice Department stationed on the dock.  The officers and soldiers of Donghai Division have always behaved with their tail between their legs.  Oh, the First Association came and caused big trouble.  As long as the military police intervene, the lawsuit will definitely come before the emperor.  Since the rise of the Hechi Army, there has never been a situation where soldiers committed crimes.  Based on Lin Renzhao's understanding of the emperor's temper, as long as Zhang Sanzheng dared to act recklessly, his head would definitely be moved.  Just as Lin Renzhao expected, Zhang Sanzheng was just bluffing, and even with his 800 courage, he didn't dare to send troops to cause trouble.  Seeing that Lin Renzhao was not frightened, Zhang Sanzheng had no choice but to soften his posture and start speaking softly.  Who would have thought that Lin Renzhao was a soft-spoken guy who couldn't get enough of him, so Zhang Sanzheng had no choice but to leave in despair.  Zhang Sanzheng returned to his residence, and suddenly a mysterious smile appeared on his face, which made people feel unfathomable.  The entire imperial military is far from monolithic.  There are conflicts between the navy and the land army, and there are also conflicts between the Forbidden Army and the New Army.  Even the generals who came from the Hechi Township Army have their own merits.  It's just that Li Zhongyi's huge prestige and strict rules and regulations are enough to intimidate everyone.  Among them, the conflicts between the Navy and the Land Division mainly focus on the question of whether to go north or south first, and who will take the lead after the Land Division gets on the Navy's warship.  Since boarding the ship from Kaifeng, Zhang Sanzheng has been engaged in a lawsuit with Zhou Daozhong, the admiral of the Yellow River Navy.  Zhou Daozhong refuted some of his ideas one by one.  The attitude of the Navy is very clear. No matter how powerful the Land Division is, as long as they get on the ship, they must obey the Navy's arrangements.  Zhang Sanzheng is a very thoughtful person.  What he was thinking was that with the speed of his troops, he could put down the rebellion in Goryeo as soon as possible and return to the court as soon as possible so that he could expand his army into the first town and then participate in the extremely important Northern Expedition.  This is the typical Continental Army thinking!  The Lu division paid more attention to the huge benefits that could be obtained from the Northern Expedition to the Khitans.  Once the Northern Expedition is successful, it will be easy for the generals of the Army Division, especially the senior generals of the New Army, to enfeoff large areas of feudal lords.  "The navy hopes to expand to Southeast Asia. In that case, they will have room to flex their muscles and sufficient funds.  Zhang Sanzheng sat at his desk, sipping tea while recalling the whole process of his first confrontation with Lin Renzhao.  With Zhang Sanzheng¡¯s shrewdness, he naturally understood that whether it was the Northern Expedition or the Southern Expedition, the newly formed army would definitely be the main force leading the charge.  However, it is in Zhang Sanzheng¡¯s best interests to carry out the Northern Expedition as soon as possible.  Because if you go south, you will fight either natives or barbarians, and you will have to rely on the navy for logistical supplies. This will definitely dilute the military merits, and it will be difficult to become a marquis.  "In the case of the Northern Expedition, how can there be any navy on the vast prairie?  Furthermore, the Khitan cavalry is so powerful that the sense of accomplishment of defeating the Khitans is absolutely irreplaceable in the southward march.  After Lin Renzhao left Zhang Sanzheng in anger, he didn't think about anything like the southern and northern expeditions. He only thought about one thing, how to speed up the progress of building a sail cruiser.  Lin Renzhao had a long talk with the emperor for five days and five nights, which made Lin Renzhao deeply understand the emperor's ambition to annex the Southeast Asian countries.  According to Li Zhongyi, Nanyang is simply an inexhaustible treasure house.  For example, the important shipbuilding material teak of the Angkor Dynasty, the rubber tree of the Srivijaya Kingdom, the rice seeds and fertile land of the Champa Kingdom, and so on.  Lin Renzhao remembered it very clearly. He was dumbfounded at the time.  It is really embarrassing that he, a great governor who has been on the water for many years, knows nothing about these things that the emperor said.  The emperor said that he had the right nose and eyes, and there was no need to lie to Lin Renzhao. This greatly aroused Lin Renzhao's eagerness to move south.  Lin Renzhao could more or less guess what Zhang Sanzheng was doing deliberately to cause trouble. Wasn't it the dispute between the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition?  However, Lin Renzhao did not believe that Zhang Sanzheng had the ability to change the emperor's established expansion strategy.  ??How can a hero be at the mercy of his ministers?  Don't even think about it.  After waiting for the seasickness medicine to be delivered, Yi Xie immediately boarded the Donghae Navy's large ship and sailed to Ganghwa Island across the sea.    The Li Han Empire had long built Ganghwa Island into a military fortress, making it easier to control the small Goryeo court in Beijing.  In fact, if Li Zhongyi had not wanted to test the training results of the newly formed army, the Donghai Navy alone and the thousands of garrison troops on Ganghwa Island would have been enough to put down the rebellion.  The fleet of the Donghai Navy sailed along the northern tip of the Jiaodong Peninsula to Dengzhou, then crossed the Yellow Sea and arrived at Jiao Island at the mouth of the Datong River on the Korean Peninsula.  After replenishing drinking water at Jiao Island, the fleet continued to sail southward and rushed to the Zhenzhou Pier at the mouth of the Yecheng River near the "Kaijing" of Goryeo Kyoto.  At the Zhenzhou Pier, Lin Renzhao, Zhang Sanzheng and the commanders of the Kangli Army stationed on Ganghwa Island exchanged opinions and immediately decided that the First Association of the New Army should abandon ship and go ashore and go to Kaijing by land.  After all, the First Association has too many artillery, war horses and baggage.  There is no dock as big as Zhenzhou in the upper reaches of the Licheng River, all the way to the vicinity of Kaijing, where firearms and equipment can be quickly unloaded.  (Ps: Only three were rewarded, but for the sake of my die-hard brother: Pseudo Yi, Sikong Chenchen added more.)
