Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 725 Strangers (1)
"I know." Yi Zhiyun naturally understood what she meant, but there was still worry in his eyes, and he still had lingering fears about the childbirth.

Liu Qiao said seriously: "Yi Zhiyun, I won't be confused anymore!"

Yi Zhiyun stared at her for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to the barracks."

Taizhou in mid-March is also a rainy season, but the wind and waves at sea are not too big, and it is also the most active season for merchant ships at sea.

And since the several battles last year, the pirates suffered heavy losses and have not gone ashore this year, so they will never let go of this great opportunity for the merchant ship to set off.

As soon as Yi Zhiyun returned to the barracks, Lieutenant General Cheng Fang first reported not the recruitment of recruits, but the requests from major commercial firms. When he met with the managers of these commercial firms last year, Yi Zhiyun revealed that he could send sailors to escort him. Now The convenience comes, of course, and there are a whole host of benefits besides the letter of request.

"With the current situation of the navy, it is inappropriate to confront pirates at sea. However, apart from pirates, the people who know the sea situation best are these long-distance caravans. Let Wang Xin bring two warships with him. These long-distance caravans Those who have been able to walk on the sea for many years must have their own way, and there are not many opportunities to confront pirates head-on."

Cheng Fang's eyes lit up, "These long-distance caravans keep their routes a secret, if they can figure out the way, it will be of great benefit to us in the future!"

Yi Zhiyun twitched the corners of his mouth, that's why he was in contact with these firms that day! "Is there any news about the secret operation sent to the interior of the sea shark?"

"Not yet." Cheng Fang said, "Since Haisha came with a military adviser two years ago, Haisha has been very resistant to outsiders. It is not easy to break into the interior."

"Find out the origin of this military advisor as much as possible!" Yi Zhiyun lowered his eyes and said.

Cheng Fang responded, and then talked about the recruits.

Yi Zhiyun listened carefully. Although he received news every day in the state capital, it was still separated by one floor. An hour later, he went to see the new barracks in person.

The first batch of recruits to enter the camp has already begun training.

"Qualifications vary, but they are all hot-blooded men." Cheng Fang said.

Yi Zhiyun smiled, "It's good to have this passion, and the others can be trained slowly!"

"What your lord said is true." Cheng Fang said, hesitating for a while, and then asked: "I don't know about the eldest princess, will the emperor punish you?"

"The emperor is merciful, and will not punish the navy for this matter." Yi Zhiyun said.

Cheng Fang continued to ask: "My lord, is it really the pirates?"

"The result of the investigation is this." Yi Zhiyun didn't say much.

Cheng Fang said, "What do you plan to do, my lord?"

"Just do what you have to do." Yi Zhiyun said, "Remember this vendetta first, now the Dazhou navy does not have the ability to wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop!"

Cheng Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Excellency said so."

Although the new navy commander is younger, he is also a family member, but he is not bad in terms of ability and courage. After the incident of the eldest princess, what he fears most is that the adults will be killed by anger. Raising troops, the navy will really come to an end by then.

Fortunately not now!

"Don't worry, my lord, one day we will definitely avenge my lord and the eldest princess!"

"And those people who died in vain in Dazhou!" Yi Zhiyun said in a deep voice, looking at Erlang who was training passionately in front of him.

Cheng Fang looked serious, "Yes!"

Liu Qiao sat for two full months of confinement, and in the following days, his body recovered faster. After confinement, although his body still felt weaker than before, it was not as good as before. Oops.

And after confinement, apart from taking care of her daughter, she also started to pick up business that had been lost for more than a year. Although in her current status, no one dared to come to her house to make trouble, and the people below did not dare to rebel, but people are people after all. Well, the master didn't care about it for a year, but something happened after all.

For the rest, Liuqiao can't know for the time being in Taizhou, but the tricks on the books, no matter how beautifully done, can still be seen, and the next month will be to deal with this matter.

During this period, Yi Zhiyun was also very busy, but no matter how busy he was, he would come back every three days, even if he could only take a few hours, he still insisted on it, in the name of preventing his daughter from forgetting him. father.

Liu Qiao felt distressed, but he had no choice but to let her go.

On the last day of April, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to inspect the recruiting of the navy recruits arrived at the navy barracks.

Yi Zhiyun, the general of the navy, greeted him outside the barracks in person, no matter who he was concerned about was not who the visitor was, but whether he had brought the supplies he needed!

Once brothers, later rivals in love, and now colleagues, when they met, Yi Zhiyun felt a little strange to Xiao Yu, who was dressed in a government official and had a serious expression in front of him.

Then he remembered the words Liu Qiao said before.

Time is cruel.

Really brutal.

Fortunately, this cruelty did not happen to them.

Reining in his thoughts, he stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Master Xiao."

Xiao Yu's eyes seemed to froze slightly.

"I thought Lord Xiao would go to the state capital first, but I didn't want to come to the barracks first." Yi Zhiyun had an official smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to invite, "Please, Lord Xiao."

Xiao Yu nodded, "General Lao Yi personally greeted him." The fluctuation in Cai Cai's eyes just now seemed to be just an illusion.

A group of people entered the barracks.

The accompanying personnel were arranged one by one. As for Xiao Yu and his long-term follower, they were invited by Yi Zhiyun to the camp of the general army. Cheng Fang, as the deputy general, was also the executor of the recruitment of new recruits, and they were also included in the account .

The three sat down, and the soldiers served tea.

Afterwards, there was some scene talk.

Xiao Yu answered them one by one, with a faint smile on his lips.

"I don't know if Lord Xiao has brought the materials that the general asked for this time?" After finishing the nonsense, Yi Zhiyun turned to the main topic. The recruitment of recruits requires materials, and the subsequent operation of the navy needs materials even more.

"The emperor has given permission to Zongbing Yi's performance, but the military department and the household department still need time to prepare." Xiao Yu replied, "But it should be able to arrive next month."

"It's so good." Yi Zhiyun said, "In the past six months, the pirates haven't made much movement. They should be recharging their energy. They suffered heavy losses last year. In order to maintain their livelihood, there will definitely be a bloody battle in autumn this year. .”

"Can recruits come on stage?"

"No!" Yi Zhiyun said in a deep voice, "The first batch of recruits have only entered the camp not long ago, and they will not be allowed to go up unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Is Zongbing Yi sure to defend?" Xiao Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea before asking.

"Naturally!" It wasn't Yi Zhiyun who answered, but Cheng Fang, "Last year we lost troops, but so did the other side. We can recruit new soldiers, but it's not so easy for the other side to recruit pirates! It's just that the two sides are still evenly matched. A bloody battle is certain! But we will never let a pirate go ashore and kill him!"
