Chapter 507 "The Master of the Navy"

Zhao Zhuo was a person that Shen Yi had always disliked.

Because this person is arrogant and powerful.

This kind is the most annoying, because while he is arrogant, you still have nothing to do with him.

Zhao Zhuo is such a person, he is the eldest son of General Zhao Lu, he is almost recognized as the head of the next generation of the Zhao family, although when he was in his teens and 20s he liked to mess around in Jiankang City, competing with his peers for women , but now, Mr. Zhao has matured a lot.

After the Jiming Temple incident, Zhao Zhuo kept a low profile in Jiankang, and I didn't hear that he came out to do anything again.

However, at this time, the eldest son Zhao, who had been keeping a low profile for a while, was not at a disadvantage when facing Zhang Jian and Shen Yi. On the contrary, he spoke sharply and well.

Seeing what Shen Yi said, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "Master Shen may have just arrived at the Ministry of War and has never been in contact with any military affairs. Zhao can tell you with certainty that the anti-Japanese army along the coast is a naval division."

Shen Yi frowned slightly and said: "Since the Anti-Japanese Army became an army, they have never even seen water, let alone entered the water to fight. How can the sailor say that?"

Zhao Zhuo still had a smile on his face: "If you didn't go into the water before, it doesn't mean you won't go into the water in the future. Maybe in a few days after Master Shen goes south, the anti-Japanese army will go into the water?"

Shen Yi frowned upon hearing this.

Hearing this sentence, he knew in his heart that the Zhao family had basically figured out the specific situation of the Anti-Japanese Army.

At the very least, the Zhao family must have known about the situation in the Wenzhou government shipyard.

Otherwise, Zhao Zhuo would not have said that he would go into the water immediately.

Because the three warships in the Wenzhou Prefecture Dockyard have indeed been built in sevens and eighties, and when Shen Yi goes south this year, after the beginning of spring, they will probably be able to launch.

The time said by Zhao Zhuo is basically the same.

Although...Shen Yi has tried his best to keep it secret, but...

There is still no impenetrable wall under the sun.

But after thinking about it for a while, he probably guessed how the Zhao family got the news.

Last year, Shen Yi took away a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Military Warfare. There were about 200 craftsmen in total. After they arrived on the southeast coast, more than half of them devoted themselves to shipbuilding.

And the terrible thing is, before returning to Jiankang last year, in order to win the hearts of these craftsmen, Shen Yi made them work hard to build ships and guns for the Anti-Japanese Army. He brought a group of craftsmen who wanted to go back to Jiankang to celebrate the new year. .

Among these people, there are craftsmen who build ships.

The problem probably lies with these people.

I am still too soft-hearted.

Shen Yi thought so in his heart.

If he didn't bring these craftsmen back to Jiankang, even if the Zhao family wanted to inquire about the news, it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.

Shen Yi's thoughts turned quickly, he quickly raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhuo, with no expression fluctuations on his face: "Mr. Zhao insists on saying that, then I have nothing to do."

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Zhuo's face, he smiled at the two of them, and said, "Anyway, thank you both for coming to my sister's wedding. Eat slowly and use slowly."

"If there is a chance in the future, Zhao will invite the two of you to drink alone."

After all, Mr. Zhao took a look at Shen Yi, and smiled again: "By the way, Mr. Shen, please think about it, my father really wants to see you."

"Master Shen, if you don't have anything to do today, you might as well sit here for a while after dinner. I'll go and tell my father. My father may rush over to see Master Shen after attending the wedding over there."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhuo looked calm, turned around, opened the door and left.

After the eldest son Zhao left, Shen Yi glanced at Zhang Jian, lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you, brother, for standing up for me."

Zhang Yi'an waved his hand, and his expression was a little helpless: "You also saw that after the old man stepped back, the people in Jiankang City have less and less regard for our family members."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "That's also the sore spot where senior brother speaks badly and is hitting Miss Zhao Si, otherwise Zhao Zhuo might not speak like this."

Zhang Jian laughed.

"The four girls in his family have a completely bad reputation. It will be extremely difficult to marry a well-matched family in the future. Even if they marry into a family that is a head shorter than theirs, they will probably be angry after entering the door."

"I asked her to find a son-in-law. It's a real suggestion, not to demean her."

The two brothers chatted and laughed, and the banquet had officially begun.

Because the house is a bit remote, and when Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Jian had a conflict, many people noticed it, not many people squeezed in to eat when the banquet was open. There were only five or six people, and they all left the table in a hurry after eating a few chopsticks.

Soon, everyone else left in a hurry, only the two brothers and sisters were still drinking here, and the two brothers forgot that this was Yue Wangfu, but regarded it as Yueyuelou , You come and I go, drinking is exhilarating.

Soon it was completely dark.

The guests of the Yue Palace gradually dispersed.

Shen Yi was only four or five points drunk at the moment, while Zhang Jian was already seven or eight points drunk, and his speech was a little confused.

Shen Yi managed to maintain a clear consciousness. He stepped forward to help Zhang Jian, helped him to the door, and pushed the door open. He was about to greet the servants of the Zhang family to carry this young master Zhang home. Unexpectedly, he just pushed the door open , I saw a middle-aged man with a medium build, a short beard, and wearing a purple robe, standing at the door of the room.

And Mr. Zhao Zhuo, the eldest son of Zhao, was standing behind this middle-aged man respectfully.

Seeing Shen Yi supporting Zhang Jian and walking out, Mr. Zhao glanced at Zhang Jian first, and then introduced to Shen Yi: "Master Shen, this is my father."

Shen Yi was supporting Zhang Jian at the moment, describing himself as a bit embarrassed. After hearing this expected introduction, he could only slightly bow his head to the middle-aged man and say, "Master Zhao."

General Zhao first glanced at Shen Yi, then at Zhang Jian who was already in a daze beside Shen Yi, and said, "Zhuoer, Mr. Zhang drank too much, go up and help Mr. Zhang, and take two people to send him to the hospital." Go back to Zhang Xiangfu."

Zhao Zhuo walked forward in response, and was about to reach out to take Zhang Jian, when Shen Yi took a step forward, shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhao, don't bother Mr. Zhao, I will send senior brother home."

General Zhao at the side had some appreciation in his eyes when he saw this, and he squeezed out a smile on his serious face: "Master Shen is so responsible, he doesn't look like a scholar."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then felt helpless.

This person surnamed Zhao demoted all the scholars in one sentence.

"Zhuoer."

General Zhao said again: "Go and find the family members in Zhang Xiang's mansion, and ask them to bring Young Master Zhang home. I have something for my father, and I want to talk to Master Shen in private."

Zhao Zhuo bowed his head and said yes, and then went down to find the Xiangfu. Not long after, he took two servants of the Zhang family and helped Zhang Jian down.

After the entire group left, General Zhao looked at Shen Yi indifferently, and asked, "Master Shen, shall we talk in the room?"

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Please, Lord Hou."

The two entered the dining room one after the other. Just after sitting down, General Zhao groped in his arms and finally found a somewhat yellowed and old book.

He handed the book in front of Shen Yi.

"Zhuo'er said that Master Shen is also here, so I asked him to go home and fetch it."

Master Shen frowned slightly, looked at the book in front of him, frowned and said: "Master Zhao, this is it?"

"This is "The Master of the Navy" written by my ancestor before his death. There are also annotations and addenda added by my father and Zhao over the past few decades."

"Master Shen, take it back and have a look, it may be useful for your new anti-Japanese army."

Speaking of this, General Zhao paused, and continued: "But this is the original, after Master Shen reads it, he must return it to me."
