Even if You Shilu was helpless at this time, he could only continue to listen respectfully, "Master Zhang, please tell me carefully."
"Secondly, the eight thousand soldiers brought by Master Sun from Liaodong are not vegetarians.
In case of war, this will be a great help."
It's very simple.
If there is a war, push out Kong Youde, Geng Zhongyu and others first.
This is a great shield, and it will be in vain if you don't use it.
He was a general who had been trained in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty for a long time.
Of course, he used this technique a lot.
You Shilu smiled and held his hand in appreciation.
"Thirdly, if there is an urgent battle that cannot be defeated, Zhao Lie can be sent out into the battle.
However, Zhao Lie is a strong man who will accept soft things rather than hard ones, so he must be easy to win over."
Zhang Ke said seriously.
Boy, this town can finally pave the way for you, so you can take care of yourself.
"Zhao Haiming should be in charge of the Zhao family.
Zhao Lie can take charge of the Zhao family at a young age."
You Shilu said suspiciously.
"Haha."
Zhang Keda smiled and said nothing, serving tea to see the guests off.
You Shilu is so disgusting, you will die if you say too much.
"In the evening, Mr.
Sun hosted a banquet at his residence and invited us to the banquet.
It was to take advantage of the weather and to see Brother Zhang off.
Brother Zhang will not refuse."
"I dare not ask Er Gu to do what I want."
Zhang Ke said with a smile.
At this time, he was relaxed and in a good mood.
At this time, it was You Shilu's duty to invade across the sea.
You Shilu was sent out of the official office by Zhang Keda, and they agreed to start the handover tomorrow.
In other words, these senior officials were negotiating like a revolving door.
Once they started talking, they lost track of time, which made the generals outside suffer a lot.
From noon to noon, these people did not eat water or rice, so they ate outside in the cold wind.
Every one of them was cold and shivering.
They cursed You Shilu in their hearts.
Some of the pampered generals were now about to die.
Unable to hold on anymore, Yang Jingtang is one of them.
He is called a military general, but he has never actually gone on a campaign, so how can he suffer this crime?
He was simply living a hard life now, looking eagerly at the door of the government office, hoping that You Shilu would come out as soon as possible.
The generals are like this, and their guards are equally bad.
They were hunched over, stomping around, completely out of formation.
Only Zhao Lie's guards gathered neatly around Zhao Lie, each wearing their own clothes and straightening their waists, silently speaking.
When You Shilu and Zhang Ke came out of the door.
As soon as I climbed up the steps and looked up, I immediately saw this strange scene.
To the east, the military generals and their guards were huddled together like refugees, in a mess, without any military spirit, while to the west, the neat black and red military formations stood in the cold wind.
It's really clear and can be seen at a glance.
The two looked at each other, and only then did You Shilu realize that Zhang Keda really hadn't deceived him.

The Zhao family's soldiers are really strong.
The two said goodbye politely.
You Shilu exchanged a few words with Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao knew everyone and would serve Mr.
You with a drink at noon tomorrow.
Everyone could finally disperse and go back to their respective homes and end such a painful journey.
On the second day, at early noon, Denglai generals gathered at Guanhai Pavilion in Dengzhou to greet the two commander-in-chiefs.
All the generals toasted to the two commander-in-chiefs.
Of course, Zhang Keda just stopped there.
After all, he was about to leave office, and You Shilu was showing off his talents, constantly flattering him, and the courtesy he offered was much richer than that of Zhang Keda.
"Sir, when I transfer to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, should I go by land or by sea?"
Zhao Lie asked.
He toasted to You Shilu according to the rules and then came to Zhang Keda.
"I have been living in the south for generations, so it would be better to take the water route."
Zhang Ke laughed.
"I have a large Xiyi ship under my command.
It is comfortable to ride on.
I can order it to escort you to your appointment.
I hope you will not refuse."
Zhao Lie said respectfully.
Zhang Ke laughed and stood up and patted Zhao Lie on the shoulder, "Zhao Lie, you are very good.
I would rather obey my orders than I am respectful."
The generals on the side looked at Zhao Lie like a fool, "You idiot, Zhang Keda wants someone to cool down the tea.
If you go to light the cold stove, Mr.
You will find trouble for you sooner or later."
Yang Jingtang responded with a gloating sneer.
This time the Zhao family's backstage was gone.
Hey, let's see you in the future.
You Shilu has seen what Zhang Keda said this time.
This Zhao Lie is really a soft-spoken man but not a tough one.
However, this person is a kind and righteous person, and he needs to win over him more in the future.
Five days later, You Shilu led the generals to see off Zhang Keda.
When everyone arrived at the Dengzhou Shuicheng Pier, they saw several Xiyi warships waiting on the dock.
One of them was particularly tall and taller than the other ships.
It was fully twice as big, with three mainmasts standing tall and imposing, with the Zhao family's flag flying above.
This is the Chaohu.
As a merchant ship, its comfort is better than You Shilu and other generals bid farewell to Zhang Keda and watched Zhang Keda board the largest Xiyi ship.
Zhao Haiming and Zhao Lie also boarded the ship.
Zhao Lie wanted to see Zhang Keda off. , father and son were often looked down upon in Dengzhou, so they were not an eyesore here.
Of course, from Zhao Lie's point of view, he did not want to see the faces of Yang Jingtang, Kong Youde and other villains anymore, just to facilitate others and himself.
You Shilu witnessed the strength of the Zhao family's Xiyi fleet with his own eyes, and couldn't help sighing that the Zhao family was really rich.
No wonder they had the strength to recruit troops and rectify the army.
He heard Zhang Keda's words and thought to himself, this Zhao family must use some thought to win over them.
Lived.
Returning to the official office, Li Chang, an aide, asked to see him.

"Sir, I have sent people to inquire in many places in recent days.
The Zhao family is indeed very financially strong.
The Zhao family spent a large sum of money to build Jinghaiweishi Island as a private port and conduct maritime trade.
They made a lot of profits.
Last year, they joined the King of Qin in Beijing.
The Zhao family spends a lot of money to recruit servants, who are all protected by iron armor and work diligently.
C Lian, this is the first battle, but since returning from the capital, the Zhao family has only recruited two thousand servants and has not recruited more.
I am afraid it is to avoid suspicion.
After all, it is taboo to recruit so many servants privately."
Li Changjiang said.
Let’s talk about all the matters related to the Zhao family who came to visit.
"These soldiers were organized by Zhao Lie."
Thinking of Zhang Keda's hehe, You Shilu felt that there was something wrong with it.
"It is said that this Jinghaiwei commander did it.
Mr.
Zhang once told people around him that he expected him to be the second Lord Qi."
Li Chang glanced at You Shilu and said.
Hiss, You Shilu took a breath.
He didn't expect that such soldiers were really trained by Zhao Lie.
He defeated the Jiannu Formation and beheaded the enemy chiefs.
This army was so powerful.
No wonder Zhang Keda had high expectations.
Master Qi probably didn't have such achievements when he was this old.
"These Xiyi warships..."
You Shilu looked at Li Chang hesitantly.
"Zhao Lie's first wife was a girl from Franji, so several of the Western Yi warships were given as dowries to the women's families."
Li Chang was very envious.
As a Jiangsu and Zhejiang staff member, he knew how powerful these Western Yi warships were.
"Tsk," You Shilu shook his head.
He married a Xiyi woman as his wife in the Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid he won't be able to get promoted anymore.
If he wants to be the second master of Qi in this life, he's probably out of luck.
Anyone can break through the Huayi defense.
If you don't go, the adults in the court will not give Zhao Lie this chance.
"In addition, Lord General, Zhao Lie was hated by all the military generals in Denglai for giving equal land to his subordinates.
He was extremely isolated in Denglai and was very unpopular."
Li Chang continued, since the proprietor has a destiny , and asked him to inquire about the details of Zhao Lie and the Zhao family, of course he did his duty with all his heart.
You Shilu nodded.
He had also heard about this matter.
As a warrior, he was aloof from other matters.
He was not involved with him anyway.
From this point of view, he could not get too close to Zhao Lie in person.
It would be hard to get public anger. ah.
It's hard to balance the tension of being both winsome and distant.
You Zongbing was born in the army and was slow-minded.

He counted on his fingers, inspected the soldiers and guard posts, asked for pay, armor, and baggage, trained the soldiers to assemble their combat power, made good friends with Sun Yuanhua, and won over the Zhao family. , none of which is easy to do.
At this time, Zhao Lie was accompanying Zhang Keda to inspect the Chaohu.
The 500-ton ship looked like a huge ship to Zhang Keda.
The towering mainmast and the rope ladder surrounding the mainmast particularly impressed Zhang Keda.
Great yearning for it, "Zhao Lie, can I go up there and take a look?"
"Sir, there is a lot of fog on this rope ladder and it is extremely slippery.
Sailors who have not been trained for many years cannot step on it."
Zhao Lie hurriedly stopped it.
The navy is a technical branch.
Before the emergence of the air force, the navy was the most densely populated area with technical personnel.
Others could not do seemingly simple actions such as sailors, so it was impossible to build a large navy fleet.
An easy task, Zhao Lie was just on the road at this time.
Zhang Keda wanted to climb up the rope ladder to the twenty-step-high observation deck like other sailors.
It was really a joke.
The incoming chief military officer fell and was injured on his ship, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Zhang Keda blinked unwillingly.
He was very regretful.
As a general from Nanjing Province, he was no stranger to warships.
He even went to sea to suppress water bandits.
He had been interested in Xiyi's large ship for a long time, but it was a pity that he had never been able to board it.
At first glance, this time returning on such a sea ship, of course I must take this opportunity to take a closer look.
"Sir, I'm going to take a look at the gun positions on the ship.
The Franchise's naval guns are extremely powerful."
Zhao Lie hurriedly diverted Zhang Keda's attention, and Zhang Keda's eyes immediately lit up.
The two came to the middle of the deck and saw eight naval guns scattered on the left and right sides, including four nine-pounders and four twelve-pounders.
This was the protective firepower of Zhao Lie's merchant ships.
Compared with the battleships, this The caliber is quite different.
Zhao Lie's latest Song-class battleship has a forty-eight-pounder gun as standard equipment.
However, due to the unobstructed deck of the merchant ship and the current situation of sharing the deck with the sailors on the same deck, this caliber is already quite large.
Zhang Keda carefully touched the cold barrel of the twelve-pound cannon with his hand, and even put his hand into the muzzle to explore, looking very happy.
In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has imitated some Hongyi cannons, but the power is slightly inferior.
The most obvious difference is that to the touch, the Ming imitation cannons are much rougher than the Franchise cannons.
On this day, Zhang Keda, accompanied by Zhao Lie, happily looked around the four decks below.
The water tanks, granaries, armor and baggage cabins below, and the cabins where the sailors lived, regardless of the filthy air below, looked extremely carefulness.
"Zhao Lie, this Xiyi sea ship is much smoother and faster than my Ming Fu ship.
It is really a weapon in naval warfare."
Zhang Keda couldn't help but sigh after reading it.
No wonder a famous general like Shen Yourong led hundreds of war ships back then.
The Hongyi fleet was not completely defeated.
Zhao Lie nodded in agreement, but he knew in his heart that the Galen ship was better than the Fu ship in that it could cross the ocean, which was its greatest advantage
