The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 91 The Chaotic Navy Organization

Ouyang Jianqing said: "Mr. Huyan, there is a friend who came to Beijing with my younger brother this time. This friend admires our dynasty culture very much and hopes to stay in Lin'an, the capital city, for a longer period of time so as to understand the customs of our Great Song Dynasty. It's just that he doesn't have an identity certificate, so I wonder if the young master can help?"

"Why, from what you say, this friend doesn't seem to be my court?"

"Exactly. My son, that man's name is Jerry. Polo claims to be from an overseas country called Venice, which consists of more than 100 islands and is known as the country of water cities."

"What? Polo, the water city of Venice?" I thought I was just from the Western Regions, and I was surprised for a moment.

I only know Marco.Polo had been to China in the late thirteenth century and was very popular with the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, but he did not know that he was in Marco.Polo has been to China before, and he is also from Venice, also called Polo, which is too coincidental.

This time it was Ouyang Jianqing's turn to be surprised: "My lord, do you know or know this person?"

"Ah?" I regained my composure and said, "I don't know you, but I'm very interested in your friend. How about this? I'll ask Dongsheng to pick you up here for a meeting tomorrow, and we'll talk about it in detail then. Credentials, just a small thing."

"Then I would like to thank you, son. I will take my leave. I will see you tomorrow."

"Ling'er, do you like brother's face?" I asked after Ouyang Jianqing left.

Fang Ling smiled: "Brother, what do you think?"

"I can't guess that."

"Guess what, you are a half-immortal."

I suddenly thought of Le Lingshan, if she saw me like this, would she still recognize me?No, do you feel me?Whether it is Zhao Xuan's face or this mask, they are far from the original Huyan Donghai.

Only my heart remains.

Seeing that my eyes became gloomy for a moment, Fang Ling knew that I was thinking of my old friend again, so she lowered her voice and said shyly, "Brother, actually, it doesn't matter which face you have. In Linger's heart, you are the one." Heaviest."

After hearing this, I was very moved: "Ling'er, you are so kind."

"Brother, if one day Ling'er becomes ugly, will you still like Ling'er?"

I looked at Fang Ling and said with a smile: "Ling'er, brother's answer is the same as yours. In my heart, you are the most important talent."

Fang Ling called out emotionally: "Brother."

I pulled Fang Ling into my arms, stroked her long hair lightly and said, "Ling'er, getting to know you is the happiest thing I've ever come to this world."

Fang Ling snuggled quietly, and said after a long time, "Brother, it's time to go back."

Before returning to the palace, I went to Shifeng Commercial Bank and asked Yao Chaohui to remove the disguise mask for me.

"My lord, as long as you know the mystery of this disguise technique, you can handle it yourself. After the subordinate prepares a new mask, I will teach you how to use it."

This is a good thing, after I learned it, I don't have to bother Yao Chaohui every time: "Well, Zhaohui, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Being able to serve the young master is a subordinate's blessing."

When I was a child, I finished writing the memorial and sat in the imperial study, thinking about Jerry.About Polo, after much deliberation, I still only remember Marco.Polo, did his family come before him?I yawned several times in a row, thinking, go to bed, don't think about it, anyway, I will know when I meet tomorrow.

"The court meeting has begun, all adults take your place." Xiao Qi shouted loudly.

"My minister, Fan Wenhuan, and my minister, Ma Tingluan, have a book to play."

I saw that these two people played together, it must be about the martial arts examination: "You two lovers, please tell me."

Fan Wenhuan handed Xiao Qi the first volume of the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, this is the top ten volume of the martial arts examination and the results of the martial art of bow and horse. Your Majesty please decide."

"You two lovers, you have worked hard. After tomorrow's court meeting, I will announce that ten people will go to the hall to listen to the decree."

Ma Tingluan went on to play: "Your Majesty, my minister Ma Tingluan has something else to say."

"please say."

"According to the etiquette system of my imperial harem, April will be the time for His Majesty's draft selection. Please His Majesty give instructions on the method of this year's draft."

"Draft?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ritual system of the harem, the first empress, the fourth concubine, the eighteen concubines, and Jieyu, beauties, talents, etc., except that the position of empress needs to wait until the three-year filial piety of the previous emperor expires, and the rest will be carried out year by year. "

Jia Sidao also got up and said: "The old minister seconded the proposal, Mr. Ma's words are in line with the ancestral system."

I suddenly realized that it turned out that I was looking for a concubine for the emperor. Jia Sidao and Ma Tingluan seemed to have a tacit understanding in this matter.I smiled and said: "Master, Ma Aiqing, I said a few days ago that our dynasty needs to increase income and reduce expenditure. The matter of reducing expenditure must start with me. This year's palace budget will be reduced by half. Therefore, I have decided to postpone this year's draft."

"This, Your Majesty, should you think about it again? After all, it is the law of the ancestors." Ma Tingluan said.

"Ma Aiqing, I have already decided on this matter, so there is no need to discuss it any further."

"Think twice, Your Majesty." Ma Tingluan didn't seem to give up.

This Ma Tingluan is really obsessed with the law of his ancestors.

"Ma Aiqing, I promise you to postpone it for one year. If my economy improves next year, I will follow the etiquette system."

"I obey the order." Ma Tingluan said helplessly.

Jia Sidao and Liao Yingzhong looked at each other and thought, it seems that the queen mother can only come forward.

"Chen Aiqing of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what's the progress of the Gai Jiaotian case?" I was worried that Ma Tingluan would continue to pester me, so I hurriedly changed the subject.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after an autopsy led by the medical doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it was concluded that the cause of Gai Jiaotian's death was that his heart was shattered by an external force, but there was no trace on his appearance, and it may have been done by a martial arts master. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has sent some prisons a few days ago Song Chengzu led people to Jinhua to investigate, this Song Chengzu is the adopted son of the great doctor Song Ci, he is very experienced, and he is worthy of this job."

Song Ci is a famous forensic doctor in the Southern Song Dynasty, the founder of forensic identification, and the author of the book "Washing Injustice".Song Ci has been engaged in judicial punishment and prison all his life, and his long-term professional work has enabled him to accumulate rich experience in forensic examination.Song Ciping has numerous cases of injustice. He believes that "prison affairs should not be more important than the great punishment, and the great punishment should not be more important than the first love, and the first love should not be more important than the test." This statement has been deeply respected by later generations.Since Song Chengzu is his adopted son, he must have some skills.

"Chen Aiqing, such an arrangement is very good. Teacher and minister."

"The minister is here."

"I inspected the forbidden army a few days ago, and I felt that the army is very powerful. I don't know what is going on with my navy?"

"Your Majesty, my court's navy is divided into three categories. The first category is the Dianqian Division's naval forces stationed in various places under the jurisdiction of the Dianqian Division, also known as the Yuqian Navy. There are more than [-] people in total. Set up a water army under the Ministry of War, mainly stationed in the Dinghai area, with a total of about [-] people. The third category belongs to the various economic and strategic appeasement divisions, such as Liangguang Road, Fujian Road, and Liangzhe Road along the coast, and Jinghu Road in the inland river. There are more than [-] people in Jiangnan Road, Kuizhou Road, and Chengdu Fu Road."

I frowned and said, "It sounds like I feel that the navy organization is a bit chaotic."

Jia Sidao nodded: "If your Majesty needs to know more about it, you can ask the Navy Division in front of the palace and the Navy Division of the Ministry of War to wait for an order to clear up your majesty's doubts."

I thought for a while and said, "It's been nearly half a year since I ascended the throne, and I haven't been to any of the ministries yet. Tomorrow, after the court meeting, I will drive to the Ministry of War. I will handle official duties on the spot, and my teachers and ministers will be sent to the front of the palace.

"The minister obeys the order."

Jia Sidao once followed Meng Gong in the army. Meng Gong was very good at land defense and was called a master of defense by later generations. However, his way of navy was slightly inferior, and Jia Sidao was also influenced by him to some extent. I understand water warfare, so I don't value the navy.

Although the navy in the Southern Song Dynasty was strong, there were many disadvantages in the middle. The most important thing was that they were independent and belonged to three different systems. The battle has been won.This is like the navy in the Song Dynasty who was a sick adult, and it was no problem to deal with children of a few years old. Once the children grew up, the sick adults would gradually lose.
