marquis of jingan

Chapter 508 Fight for generations of wealth!

After hearing the word "ancestor", Shen Yi was stunned.

Because he knew who the ancestor of General Zhao was.

More than 60 years ago, Emperor Sejong fled south from Yanjing in the north with the court of Chen Guo, crossed the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Yangtze River, and ran all the way to Jiankang Dingdu.

At this time, someone was chasing behind him, and there were many people chasing him.

At that time, it was Zhao Chong, a naval commander who was not very eye-catching in the imperial court, who led more than 3 soldiers and horses to guard the Huaihe River. Division, has repelled the barbarian pursuers [-] times!
In the next half a year, Zhao Chong still stood firm on the Huaihe River, standing still. For a whole year, with only rations and almost no soldiers, he still defended the Huaihe defense line as solid as gold.

It wasn't until a year later that Emperor Sejong established a firm foothold in Jiankang, the Southern Chen court was established, and the court looked back to the north before it began to reward Zhao Chong's contributions.

Relying on this almost heaven-defying war, General Zhao Chongzhao was conferred the title of hereditary Marquis of Anping, and the number of naval divisions under his command also increased from 5 to 10.

More importantly, Northern Qi was still very powerful at that time.

The Northern Qi Dynasty, who had just stepped on half of the country, almost threatened the power of thunder to unify China, but Zhao Chong had steadfastly held on to the Huaihe River all his life. Counting from the time when Sejong crossed the south, Zhao Chong had stood alone on the Huaihe River defense line for 17 days. Years, until the time of his death at the age of 64, he died by the Huaihe River.

After the death of General Zhao, he was posthumously named Dingguo Duke by the court, and his posthumous title was Wujing.

After the Duke of Dingguo left, his son took over the Huaihe Navy and continued to defend the Huaihe River for the court, protecting the small Nanchen court in Jiankang from being safe and sound, and has continued to develop to this day.

It is precisely because General Zhao made such a great contribution that the imperial court allowed the Zhao family to be in charge of the Huaihe Navy for generations, and even Zhao Zhuo's misconduct in Jiankang City was ignored by the imperial court.

The status of the Zhao family among military officers and generals is almost incomparable.

It can even be compared with the top civil servant prime minister of this era.

When Zhao Zhuo faced Xiangmen, not only did he not give in, but he had the upper hand.

Even when the fourth girl of the Zhao family beat Shen Yi, a new Jinshi, in the Jiming Temple, His Majesty the Emperor pinched his nose and dealt with the fourth girl, and did not do anything to her.

Of course, there was the reason why Zhao Lu led the army abroad at that time, but the more important reason was that the incense and love left by Zhao Chong were still there.

The incense left by this General Zhao has made four generations of the Zhao family rich and powerful, and the third generation has become extremely courtiers.

And this General Zhao Lu in front of him is the grandson of that General Zhao Chong, the third generation "head" of the Zhao family.

That is to say, the copy of "Navy General Requirements" he handed to Shen Yi was probably written by General Zhao back then, and it was annotated by the two generations of Zhao family leaders.

This kind of thing is a great temptation for any general.

If Ling Su and Xue Wei were here and saw the handwriting of General Zhao, they would have knelt down to accept it.

Shen Yi looked at the yellowed old book in front of him, and he was also quite emotional here.

As a native of Chen Guo, he had naturally heard the story of General Zhao, and in his heart he admired this general who turned the tide, but the General Zhao in front of him was not the General Zhao he was 60 years ago.

The current Zhao family is not the Zhao family of the past.

After the brave teenagers slayed the dragons, most of them turned into dragons.

Perhaps Zhao Chong himself did not, but his grandsons, his great-grandsons, have indeed become the evil dragons of this era.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Yi reached out to take the book. He didn't open it immediately, but looked up at the middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance in front of him. After a little hesitation, Shen Yi slowly asked: "General Give me such a precious thing, what do you want?"

Zhao Lu shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Zhao doesn't want anything."

"To put it bluntly, if Mr. Zhao really wants something, I'm afraid you won't be able to give it to me, Mr. Shen."

Although these words are a bit ordinary, they are so true that they cannot be truer.

The Marquis of Anping in front of you, a great general, has a status in the imperial court that is at least comparable to that of a prime minister, or even comparable to that of a prime minister. His status in the court is very detached, and the Zhao family has been operating in Huaihe for 60 years. It can be said that there is nothing lacking for what they want, Shen Yi, a fledgling sixth-rank official, really can't give their family anything.

"Don't say what you want."

General Zhao raised his head and looked at Shen Yi indifferently: "Zhao is a native of Chen after all, and he always thinks that the country will be more prosperous. When he heard that Master Shen was ordered by the emperor to go to the coast to build an anti-Japanese army, Zhao wanted to privately See you, Master Shen."

"I don't have any other ideas for reading this book to Master Shen. I just hope that I can give Master Shen some help, so that the anti-Japanese army in the southeast can be stronger, and I can keep the southeast coastal area safe."

This scene is undoubtedly very beautiful.

After hearing this, Shen Yi even wondered if he had misunderstood the Zhao family earlier.

or…

It's just that the fourth generation of the Zhao family is broken?Is this third-generation general still good?

But soon, Shen Yi put all these miscellaneous thoughts behind him. He looked at the book in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Then... the junior will borrow it for two days?"

"It's just for you to take it back and watch it."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and held the book in both hands.

This book is still very important to him.

Because although he has read a lot of books and read a lot of military books, he actually doesn't know much about the real training of soldiers, especially the method of training sailors.

As for Ling Su and Xue Wei, both of them were infantrymen of the coastal guards, and they didn't know much about sea and water warfare.

If Shen Yi can understand the art of war written by Duke Ding, it will be of great benefit to his future military career.

However, after Shen Yi took the book, he still looked up at Zhao Lu, and said in a deep voice, "Master Hou, there is one thing that this junior must tell you clearly."

General Zhao's expression was calm: "Say it."

Shen Yi said slowly: "The younger generation is in the anti-Japanese army, and they are only supervising the manufacture of weapons for the imperial court. The younger generation does not participate in the formation and daily training of the anti-Japanese army. From the beginning to the end of the anti-Japanese army, Jin Shizi is in charge. .”

General Zhao chuckled: "What are you talking about to me?"

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "When will Master Shen leave Beijing?"

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and silently replied: "Ten 67."

"Then you and I are similar. I also left Jiankang and went north after the Lantern Festival."

After saying this, General Zhao stood up, walked in front of Shen Yi, reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said lightly: "Master Shen, there are so many young people in the court, in my opinion, only you have a bright future." .”

"In the future, you may also be conferred the title of marquis and prime minister by His Majesty, as well as a wife and shade son."

Shen Yi frowned: "The junior is a civil servant."

"The civil service has too much power."

General Zhao smiled mysteriously: "You have led many troops, your Majesty may not allow you to be a civil servant."

"young people."

General Zhao patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and left with his hands behind his back: "If you work hard, maybe you can make your Shen family rich for several generations."
