Aiqing is right. ," Zhao Xu said; Zhao Xu, who was more satisfied with Li Bao's proposal to build three sailors, said that the Great Song Naval Division was the guarantee of the maritime security of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for one person to take on the coastal defense of the Great Song Dynasty, just like it was better not to put eggs in the same basket.
Zhao Xu continued to say to Li Bao: "Li Aiqing, now that the treasury is empty and powerless, I will start with the Yangtze River Naval Division and you will be responsible for it, this naval division will assume the responsibility of defending the Yangtze River and the East China Sea at the same time, the naval division camp is still located in the Jiangnan Naval Division, I will first allocate 500,000 taels of silver to you, rebuild the battalion, recruit soldiers, and build warships, I want you to build a majestic naval army for me within three months." ” "Your Majesty, although you can build a naval division in such a short period of time, the combat strength of the naval division is worrying, I am afraid it will not be enough for a battle," Li Bao said to Zhao Xu.
"Training can be done slowly, we must build a sailor within three months, and now the relationship between our Great Xia Empire is relatively stable, you have plenty of time to train."
"Yes, the last general commands" Zhao Xu was able to hand over 500,000 taels of silver to Li Bao, which shows his trust in Li Bao, and the other 500,000 taels of silver is not the financial tax of the Great Song Dynasty, but was searched from the home of the commander of the Jiangnan Navy Division before, an ordinary commander of the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division has several mansions in his home, and more than 5 million taels of silver alone have been found, and the rest of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and land deeds are even more.
Just when the Great Song Dynasty was in full swing to rebuild and build the Great Song Dynasty Water Division, Li Qing, the Yan King of the Great Xia Empire, left the Ziwei Palace and returned to the Xijin Mansion.
In order to ask for this million silver coins, Li Qing could use all the tricks he had, and finally he agreed to it after grinding Li Liangzuo every day.
Due to the construction of Ziwei Palace, a new city has been formed around Ziwei Palace, but this city does not have any city walls, because this city has no official name, ordinary people call this new city the imperial capital, although it is a new city but its construction speed is very fast, it has become the center of gravity of the entire Guanzhong and even the Great Xia Empire, and all the buildings are planned, and the scale of the imperial capital is also expanding.
In the imperial capital and the palace of the King of Qin.
Li Wu, the king of Qin, asked Wuzang Chenliang: "The sixth brother is gone."
"It's the prince, His Royal Highness King Yan left the imperial capital early this morning and returned to Xijin Mansion."
Didn't hide Chenliang said; "Before leaving, he also took a million silver coins from the treasury, and I heard that Your Majesty has promised to expand the Sailor Division, in addition to the Qinglong Sailor, Your Majesty also allowed His Royal Highness King Yan to recruit soldiers to go to sea."
Li Wu, the king of Qin, said very calmly: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't agree, the sixth will recruit soldiers to go to sea, there's no fuss about it." ” "Your Royal Highness, King Yan is not the King of Jin, Yan Shu and Zhao Ge under the command of King Yan have mastered nearly 200,000 government soldiers, and these government soldiers used to be the elite of the Liao State, that is to say, King Yan can arm an army of 200,000 at any time as long as he is willing, and in the land of Yan Liao, King Yan is quite supported by the nobles of the Liao State in the past, in this way, King Yan can compete with you."
Didn't hide Chenliang said.
Li Wu still said very calmly: "Father, the emperor naturally has his own plans to reuse the sixth brother, even if King Yan has more troops and generals, how can he still dare to rebel Now the enemy of my Great Xia Empire is the Great Song Dynasty, and before the Song Dynasty is destroyed, this king does not want civil strife in my Great Xia Kingdom." ” "Lord, you think so, but will other princes think so, Lord, you can't be so merciful?"
In fact, Li Wu is not benevolent, but self-confidence, Li Wu has a strong self-confidence, the source of this self-confidence is from the power that Li Wu has, in addition, now Li Liangzuo has arrived in the imperial capital Ziwei Palace, although the Great Xia Empire has not announced the relocation of the capital, but now it is basically the capital, and Li Wu is now equivalent to the only prince who stays by Li Liangzuo's side; Li Wu can appear by Li Liangzuo's side at any time, and at the same time Li Wu began to participate in the government of the Great Xia Empire, although Li Wu was not canonized as the crown prince, but he already has the fact of the prince, if he excludes his brother at this time, it is likely to cause Li Liangzuo's dissatisfaction, and at that time it will be worth the loss.
Besides, Li Qing, the king of Yan, did not stay long after returning to Xijin Mansion, and once again arrived in Luanzhou to prepare to go to sea again, this time the sea is different from the last time, this time Li Qing went south to prepare more than 3,000 people, and there are 500 cavalry, and there are more than 30 ships of the sailor, which is already equivalent to half of the combat power of the Qinglong Sailor Division; Li Qing also brought Chen Shu with him on this expedition, after all, Chen Shu had been to the Wa Kingdom and knew the language of the Wa Kingdom.
"Brother Zhu, my father has allowed the sailors to expand the army by 20,000, that is, 50,000 sailors, you have to hurry up and recruit troops; In addition, this time the king also brought 1 million silver coins, plus the gold, silver, jewelry and silk brought back by the king last time, use this time you have to hurry up to build a warship and train sailors" "Don't worry, the last general will definitely be close to full strength."
Zhu Xu said.
"How's the matter of transporting troops south," Li Qing continued to ask.
"The last general has sent people to transport a large number of grain, grass, weapons, and armor to Canghai Island, which is enough for three thousand soldiers and horses for half a year, and the three thousand soldiers and horses who went south this time have already transported two thousand five hundred, and the remaining five hundred cavalry and the last batch of grain, grass and ordnance will go south with the prince."
Zhu Xu said.
"Okay, how is the combat power of these 5,000 cavalry?"
"Each of them is an elite of a hundred battles, and there are a hundred heavy knights, and there are no three war horses, not the last general brags, with these five hundred iron horses, even if the enemy army has 10,000 people, they will still be beaten."
Zhu Xu said with a smile.
"So the king will be relieved."
Li Qing also smiled; These 500 cavalry were actually prepared by Li Qing for the Shimazu family, and the purpose of taking Li Qing this time was to conquer the Shimazu family and establish a permanent support point in the Wa Kingdom, so as to complete the strategic goal of the Great Xia Empire to continue to move south.
"Lord Wang, the last general has the courage to ask, when are you leaving?"
asked Zhu Xu.
"After three days, we must seize the time to replenish supplies in these days."
Li Qing said; "This king is going to the shipyard to see how the new battleship is being built" "Lord Wang, General Shu said bluntly that the speed of our army's warship building is very slow."
Zhu Xu said to Li Qing; "The wood we use to build our warships needs to be transported from the north, and the craftsmen are not mature, and we need to constantly accumulate experience, so it is basically impossible to increase the number of shipbuilders in a short period of time."
After Li Qing heard this, he frowned and said, "It seems that this shipbuilding matter needs to be found by this king."
"Your Majesty, in fact, the requirements for warships are not so strict, and some large sea ships can also be used as warships if they are transformed."
