Chapter 774 Remove a small print

Talking about counterattacking Northern Qi is somewhat unrealistic at present.

Even Shen Yi didn't have this idea for the time being.

Master Shen's current plan is to let the 2 people in the coastal capital first practice on the banks of the Huai River, and it is best...the best is to fight a few battles with the Qi people.

Even if a few people die, as long as the 2 people in the coastal capital can really become an army of hundreds of battles, then Shen Yi will have the courage to take them to the north of Huaihe River to have a look!
At that time, it is the real meritorious deeds!
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help being agitated, but he quickly calmed down, motioned the two to sit down, and told them some details.

For example, let them send people to Yueqing to take over the six or seven large warships originally built by Shen Yi in Yueqing, and then use those six or seven large ships to bring all the small artillery built by the coastal capital in Yueqing to Songjiang Mansion to spare.

These are all within their scope of authority, and can also play a role in strengthening the combat effectiveness of the coastal capital.

After these things were finished, it was getting late. When Shen Yi was about to see off the guests, he suddenly remembered something. He stood up, looked at the two people, and said, "Wait a minute, I Go get something for you."

Both of them nodded quickly, sat obediently on the chairs, and waited for Shen Yi.

Master Shen walked to his study room, took out the key from his sleeve, opened a small wooden box, and took out a stamped note from the small wooden box. After confirming that there was no problem under the dim moonlight, Shen Yi took the key. With this note, he returned to the living room.

He handed the note in front of Ling Su, and said lightly: "This is the note I asked for from the inner court. Before you return to Songjiang Mansion in a few days, don't forget. Take this note and go to the Inner Court Gunpowder Department to file some Send the gunpowder to Songjiang Mansion for backup."

Ling Su took it with both hands, and didn't take it seriously at first. After all, they are the capital of the coast, and now they can be said to be poor and white. The gunpowder in Wenzhou is estimated to be only a few thousand catties left. When they go out to fight, the court should not Support a little? .

But when he saw the contents of the note, he suddenly took a deep breath.

The hereditary Qianhu stared wide-eyed and almost lost his voice: "One hundred thousand catties!"

At this moment, Shen Yi was standing near the main seat drinking tea, when he heard this, he glanced back at him and asked, "What? Is it not enough?"

"enough…"

Ling Su swallowed his saliva, exhaled slowly, and smiled wryly, "It's just...it's the first time I've seen the Gunpowder Division so generous."

"It's not that they are generous..."

Master Shen curled his lips, thinking of the little emperor in the palace, and the big eunuch Gao Ming standing beside him, and said in a muffled voice, "They should give it to me."

"When you go to the Gunpowder Department, don't be so honest. You should take gunpowder and gunpowder. When you see shells and the like, remember to go along with it. It's a pity that the imperial artillery is too big and heavy, so it's not easy to carry..."

Ling Su quickly lowered his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, even if these gunpowder are used as explosives, they can withstand many enemy attacks."

"This is the first batch."

Master Shen said leisurely: "Let's fight better in front, and I will write to the palace to discuss it."

Shen Yi has basically figured out the cause and effect of the guarding of the Huaihe River by the coastal capital this time. Not to mention [-]% of it was done by the emperor, at least [-]% of it was caused by the emperor's help.

Since the emperor was dishonest, it was only natural for Shen Yi to ask for more things from the palace and use them on the battlefield.

If the palace doesn't give it to him, Master Shen will sell the sky-high priced transparent colored glaze that Liulichang is still selling tomorrow at a low price!

Let the palace directly lose a large amount of income!

After chatting with the two subordinates for a while, Shen Yi personally sent the two of them to the gate of Shen's residence.

"It was supposed to keep you at home to sleep for a night, but firstly, the house is too small, and secondly, it doesn't treat you well, so I wronged you and stayed outside for one night."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Tomorrow morning, you all remember to go to the palace to meet the saint. After seeing His Majesty, you can come to my house for lunch."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi stretched his waist and said: "I don't have to go to the Ministry of War these days, I should be at home."

The two respectfully bowed their heads and cupped their fists, and bid farewell to Shen Yi.

Master Shen watched the two of them leave. He didn't turn around until they turned into a street and disappeared.

After the two left Shen Yi's sight, Ling Su, who was walking on the left, couldn't help turning his head to look at Xue Wei beside him, let out a long breath, and said with emotion: "General Xue, our backer..."

"It's amazing."

Xue Wei said with a smile: "Duke Shen has done so many things at such a young age, and he is still a fourth-rank civil servant in the imperial court, so he is naturally very remarkable."

"That's not what I said."

Ling Su took out the inconspicuous note from his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "The Gunpowder Department directly provides one hundred thousand catties of gunpowder..."

"The Treasury Department of the Ministry of War has nearly [-] pieces of armor and various other military weapons. This is something that even an ordinary local governor can never do!"

"When I was in Wenzhou, many people from Jiankang called Mr. Shen the little Mr. Shen."

Having said that, Ling Su swallowed, his tone a bit complicated.

"I see, this small print."

General Ling's tone was filled with envy, gratitude, and admiration.

"It can already be removed..."

………………

In the morning of the next day, in the Temple of Manna.

Because there is no court meeting today, His Majesty the Emperor got up and received a few ministers, and there was nothing else to do in the morning. He was yawning, wondering if he should go to Zhaode Palace to see his eldest son, and the eunuch Gao Ming beside him, Standing cautiously beside the emperor, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Ling Su, Commander of the Fuzhou Guard of the Coastal Capital, and Xue Wei, Commander of the Guangzhou Guard, are asking His Majesty outside the palace to say yes..."

"Listen to His Majesty's instructions."

The emperor got up and stretched his muscles, and asked: "Isn't it just a few days since the imperial decree was issued? They arrived in Jiankang so soon? Besides, I didn't call them into the palace to see me in the decree, right? "

The emperor has a lot of things and is easy to forget.

Fortunately, Gao Ming has a good memory, so he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Langzhong Shen said that he wanted to see them first, and Langzhong Shen should have sent them a letter calling them to Jiankang."

The emperor rubbed his forehead.

"I remembered."

He turned his head to look at Gao Ming, and asked: "These two people, when did you arrive in Jiankang, have you met Shen Qi?"

"It should be the city that entered yesterday evening. The two of them went to Shen's house last night and met Mr. Shen, but they didn't spend the night in Shen's house."

"Ah."

The emperor nodded, and said: "Call them in, just right, I do have something to tell them."

Soon, the two commanders of the coastal capital all knelt in front of the emperor, respectful and humble.

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, motioning for the two to stand up and talk. After the two stood up, the Emperor said calmly, "Did you meet Shen Aiqing yesterday?"

The two nodded.

The emperor let out a "huh" and said, "Since you have met Shen Aiqing, you should already know the matter, so I won't go into details."

"I'm just telling you one thing."

The emperor said slowly: "This time, I asked you to guard the Huaihe River for the Huaihe Navy, not because I have no one under my command. My forbidden army can be dispatched at any time to guard the Huaihe River."

"Letting you go is because I have high hopes for you."

The two bowed their heads together.

"Your Majesty will surely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"and also."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and said: "Go to the Huaihe River, don't do anything wrong, I will always watch you."

The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.

But Ling Su keenly discovered that when the emperor said to "supervise" them, he didn't ask Shen Yi to supervise them!
That is to say...

Ling Su had a realization in his heart.

In other words, the emperor still has eyes and ears, watching the coastal capital!
