Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 270: Building a Navy
"Boss, you are such a foul-mouthed person, how can the soldiers truly obey you?..."
"What did you say?……"
Seeing that Prince Zhi and Prince Li were quarreling again, the other princes hurried forward to pull the two gentlemen apart. Yinzhen, who was sitting on the throne, walked a few steps into the hall and kept scolding them, "Prince Zhi, Prince Li, what are you two quarreling about? This is my Qinzheng Hall. If you want to quarrel, go back home and quarrel behind closed doors. You are so old, are you going to make a fool of yourself by making such a scene?"
The two looked at each other, knelt down and apologized at the same time in tacit understanding, although they wished they didn't have that tacit understanding!
"I have violated the rules, Your Majesty, and I ask that you punish me."
"Alright, everyone, get up! Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other. As the elder brothers, you two should set a good example for the brothers below you. Is it fun to act for others to see?"
No, that's definitely not fun, but isn't it just because you're in the mood that you want to have a few words with the eldest/second in command?
Yes, it’s all the eldest/second child’s fault!!
Seeing that the two of them had settled down, Yinzhen did not retreat, but said earnestly in the hall: "Brother, you will have to stay at least two or three years on the sea, exposed to the sun and wind, and sleeping in the open air. Your age is really not suitable. If you were ten years younger, I would have no reason to stop you. But now, I am worried."
Yun Ti shook his head indifferently: "What is there to worry about? With the second brother gone, I will have no one to entertain myself in the capital, so it is better to let the second brother accept my kindness. Hehe, if the second brother encounters any trouble at sea and is rescued by the navy led by me..."
"Boss, you were planning this!" Yunreng was so angry that he pointed at him and cursed, "Give up, I can solve it myself, why do I need you to interfere?"
"How many soldiers can you lead on the sea? There are countless pirates and sea brigands on the sea. If the Qing Navy supports you, I don't think anyone would dare to touch the Qing people?" If he let the second brother die in a confused state at sea, he would feel extremely aggrieved. After all, they were old enemies who had fought for a lifetime. If the second brother lost, wouldn't it mean that he had lost everything?
No matter what, Yunti wanted to keep the person under his nose, and even more wanted to show some kindness to the second brother who had always been arrogant and conceited!
"Your Majesty, I am serious this time! Although I have not led troops or taken on any duties for many years, I have not just been idle for these years. I am well versed in military books and battle formations. I think, apart from my age, I am the most suitable person to take on the position of commander-in-chief."
How can those two young boys, the Seventh and Fourteenth, compare with him?
Yunti confidently requested to go to Southeast Asia, but Yinzhen didn't want to agree to his request. When he was about to refuse, he knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, you have already agreed to the second and eighth brothers, why don't you agree to me again? I promise you that I will do my best to train an ever-victorious army as soon as possible to escort the maritime security of the Qing Dynasty!"
Ah, this, this, did you three brothers discuss this today? You all kneel before me and beg me, and I can neither agree nor refuse!
"Brother, are you serious?"
"I'd like to borrow my eighth brother's words. Not to mention that I have always been in good health, if something happens, it will not be anyone's fault. If a general dies on the battlefield, I will regret it for the rest of my life if he stays in the mansion and dies of old age!"
With the words coming to this, how could Yinzhen dare to disagree? He was afraid that if he refused, the eldest brother would be alienated from him for the rest of his life. He was even more afraid that the emperor would feel uncomfortable in his grave. After all, wasn't it the deceased emperor who prevented the eldest brother from leading troops to war?
"Well, I'll grant you my promise this time, but I still say that you must take care of yourself and not take risks without permission. You must leave the capital safely and come back to me safely!"
Since his wish had been achieved, Yunti agreed to all the requests in a good mood. He turned around and gave Yunreng a smug look, which made the other kings feel ashamed.
Yinzhen turned his gaze away and continued to ask, "Prince Zhi is already quite old. I am worried about letting him go to Southeast Asia alone. Is there anyone who would like to go with him?"
With Yunti saying "Don't worry, I can do it alone", Yunyou stepped forward decisively and said, "Your humble servant, please."
"Yes! I know your ability, so you can help Prince Zhi to build a navy." Yinzhen nodded without hesitation, and then earnestly instructed the people who were going to leave the capital to suffer on the sea, "If you are not used to life on the ship, then write to me as soon as possible, and don't try to be stubborn! Not getting dizzy on the river doesn't mean you won't get dizzy on the sea. After all, the wind and waves on the sea are much stronger than on the river."
The four of them agreed one by one, and turned back to join Yunluo and Honghui to discuss the fleet's sailing in detail.
Yinzhen, who was left alone in the Qinzheng Hall, was thinking about life: If this news gets out that four brothers have gone to Southeast Asia at the same time, no one will criticize him for being intolerant of his brothers, right?
The four people who were being talked about sneezed at the same time, causing others to worry, fearing that these four gentlemen had caught a cold!
A month later, despite the disapproval of civil and military officials and the tears of the various royal palaces, Prince Zhi Yunti and Prince Chun Yunyou took the lead in rushing to Nanyang. A few days later, Prince Fu Yunlu followed closely and rushed to Nanyang to prepare ships and establish shipyards.
After half a year of preparation, a fleet of more than 30 ocean-going ships set out from the Zhejiang trading port and headed towards the neighboring countries.
At the same time, the Nanyang Shipyard was formally established, specializing in the construction and development of ocean-going ships, and was placed under the overall management of the Jiangsu Governor.
Before the end of the year, Prince Fu Yunlu, who had been away for half a year, was finally able to return to Beijing.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
"Ninth brother, please stand up. What is the current situation in Nanyang?"
"It's all good, let's not talk about the Japanese pirates, the pirates occupied islands of all sizes, robbed passing fleets, and the money they spent on shipping was not a small amount!
There are many fleets of different sizes that secretly sailed out to sea from other places to evade customs duties. The eldest brother and the seventh brother caught quite a few during their routine drills and inspections, but God knows that the navy now has only a hundred people and no more than ten warships in total! "Yun'er's face did not show any joy, and his face was tanned, which made him look much more mature.
There are many profound meanings in these few short sentences. At least Yinzhen also felt the seriousness of the situation. He thought that it was fortunate that he did not listen to the discouraging words of the court officials, otherwise the coast and territory of the Qing Dynasty would have been secretly occupied without his knowledge!
Of course, the most important thing now is the safety of the diplomatic fleet, and for this purpose, it is imperative to expand the size of the navy!
"Humph! Su Peisheng, send someone to write a letter to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at full speed, asking him to instruct Prince Zhi and Prince Chun to expand the navy as soon as possible, regardless of money or means!
I want no more pirates and Japanese pirates around the South Seas, and I want the prestige of the Qing navy to spread to other countries soon. I also want to keep an eye on the diplomatic fleet. I want to see who is so bold as to go against the Qing. "
