Chapter 308 Marshal Belongs Just when the hundred officials were silent, Li Zhen suddenly smiled: "Qiqi father, the son thinks that what Wang Shilang said is very reasonable, Liu Renliang is indeed not suitable to be a marshal, this matter is not considered by the son, and I ask my father to forgive me." ” "Huh?"
Everyone looked at Li Zhen in surprise, even Wang Minzhi was confused, what is the situation?
Could it be that we are wrong in our guesses?
The relationship between Li Zhen and Liu Renliang is not good?
That's not right, it was Li Zhen who was stiffening Liu Renliang before, and looking at Li Shimin's meaning, he also liked Liu Renliang very much, if someone hadn't stopped him, the position of this naval marshal would really fall on Liu Renliang's head......
Could it be that Li Zhen had already guessed that she would come out to oppose it?
Or did he already know what the family was doing?
Impossible, right?
If Li Zhen was really so powerful, then the family should have been wiped out a long time ago.
Yes, it must be like this, it is so secret, it is impossible for him to detect it.
Not only the hundred officials, Li Shimin was also very puzzled by Li Zhen's sudden change of words, his brows couldn't help frowning deeper, and he looked at Li Zhen with a little dissatisfaction and asked, "Zhen'er, tell me your reasons." ” "Needless to say, the reason for the sons is the same as that of Wang Shilang."
Li Zhen chuckled and said, "The marshal of the navy is the lord of an army, how important is his position?"
Although there are only three fleets that can be dispatched at present, after the Quanzhou fleet has formed its combat effectiveness, the Florida fleet and the Malacca fleet will soon start training.
With the training experience of the previous three fleets, we have a maximum of eight months, and these two fleets only need half a year at the shortest to form combat effectiveness, and this is not the end of the navy, in Erchen's planning, the navy needs at least ten fleets in a short period of time to ensure the safety of our current territorial waters, a fleet is about 30,000 people, this is 300,000 people, absolutely high and powerful - how can such an important position be qualified by ordinary people?
” "What?
Ten fleets?
300,000 people?
Baiguan exclaimed, through the three major fleets, Baiguan has seen the future of the navy, but they definitely did not expect that Li Zhen's ambition is so big, 300,000 people, which is already equivalent to the total number of sixteen guards (each guard maintains 25,000-40,000 guards, led as a standing army), and depending on Li Zhen's meaning, the ten fleets are only temporary, with the growth of the territory, the number of fleets will increase again, as for the extent of the increase in the future, it depends on how much territory Datang can lay.
With such a large establishment, is it really something that a marshal can command?
So after hearing Li Zhen's words, the first reaction of the officials was that Li Zhen was going crazy, although they didn't know how much it would cost to build a fleet, but just looking at the price of the thousand-ton merchant ships sold by Li Zhen, they understood that this would definitely not be a small amount, after all, unlike the merchant ships that could run as long as they could, the quality of the warships was leveraged, and the production process was more elegant, and the production price was definitely not a small amount of money even if it was the factory price.
This is still the price of the ship, and the training of personnel is also very expensive, if according to Li Zhen, a fleet of 30,000 people, half a year's training time will definitely not be much lower than the price of the ship.
With so much money, it's no wonder that Li Zhen would be so generous to dedicate the navy to the country - it turns out that he can't afford it himself.
Baiguan seemed to understand something.
"Zhen'er, what the hell do you want to say?"
Li Shimin was a little impatient, Li Zhen Balabala for a long time, but he didn't even get into the topic, why is there so much nonsense?
"What Erchen means is that Liu Renliang's current ability is sufficient, but his qualifications are too low, and it is still a little too early to serve as a naval marshal.
And think about it carefully, the authority of the admiral is too heavy, and ordinary people can't hold it, and there is only one person in the whole world who is qualified to serve as the marshal of the navy......"
Li Zhen suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Shimin in a daze: "That's you, father, ......"
"What?
I?
Li Shimin never thought that Li Zhen would actually burn the fire on his head.
But although he was surprised, he didn't refute it, because if you think about it carefully, it seems that the only one who can hold this position is himself.
The position of the marshal of the navy is very high, and there are many people who want to hold this position, but what is more embarrassing is that the Tang Dynasty in the navy is just starting out, those who have the ability to be a marshal are not qualified, and those who are qualified to be marshals are not capable, after all, naval warfare and land warfare are different, let an army born command naval warfare, the result will be quite touching.
Moreover, with the opening of the Age of Discovery, coupled with the idea of at least ten fleets mentioned by Li Zhen, it can be seen that the status of the navy will inevitably rise to a point that is comparable to that of the army.
So as the direct controller of the navy, the position of the marshal is very important, those who are qualified to be the marshal of the navy are all from the army, let them command the naval battle, that is not commanding the naval battle, that is purely to let the navy to die, not to mention that directly commanding 300,000 troops is not something that ordinary people can command, not even Liu Renliang, not to mention that his qualifications are not enough......
Besides, the authority of this naval marshal is too great, and Li Shimin is not at ease about handing it over to others, if he wants to solve this problem, there is only one way, and he will carry the pot he made......
Of course, it's not just to carry it yourself, the navy still has to be handed over to Liu Renliang after all, it's just a different method......
"Zhen'er is right, the admiral is indeed only available to me."
Li Shimin first praised Li Zhen, and then said: "But after all, I am the emperor, and I can't devote my mind to this navy, so I need a few deputies to assist me in managing the navy......"
"This is a clever hand."
Li Shimin has said it all here, if the officials don't understand the plans of their father and son, they will have been in the officialdom for decades in vain.
At the same time, I couldn't help but admire in my heart, worthy of being the emperor, this not only solved the problem of Liu Renliang's lack of qualifications, but also pulled Liu Renliang into his own hands, and from then on, Liu Renliang neither belonged to the civilian camp nor to the military generals' camp.
Since then, there is only one camp, that is, the emperor's camp, whoever is the emperor, he will stand with whom, whoever is the emperor, he will be loyal to whom, this is undoubtedly the best camp, and it is also the most wanted stand by countless people from beginning to end, but unfortunately, if you want to stand with the emperor, not everyone has this qualification.
During the Zhenguan period, there were not many people who were really in a neutral state, and most of them were still in a semi-retired state, even Li Jing could not be regarded as Li Shimin's henchman, otherwise he would not have been in a semi-retired state after the Eastern Turkic War, isn't it just to avoid Li Shimin's suspicion?
And there is no need to worry about other people's opposition to do this, the supreme naval marshal already has the master, as for the marshal's deputy, these military bigwigs are still not eye-catching, and their status is similar to their own, so they don't have to worry about a newcomer stepping on their heads, and they naturally won't compete for a position that they are completely unfamiliar with......
