I became the son of Renzong

Seeing that his father's tone was wrong, the fourth prince dared not argue, so he could only confess his guilt first.

"I don't think so in your heart? Although I'm not familiar with naval battles, let's take your first trip to sea as an example. After encountering a small group of pirates, have you ever thought about coping with the accident?"

"I have learned about your combat reports in detail. The first time I encountered pirates with three or five sea ships... In such a situation, have you ever thought that this is just an outpost, just a reconnaissance force? Have you ever thought that there will be Follow-up battle?"

"What should I do after encountering the pirate's vanguard? I learned that Wen Liangchen once suggested retreating to the sea... If the court acted, a coach like you, even if I have a million lions, It's not enough for you to torment like this!"

If it is really the court commander, even Zhao Xi will cut off his head without hesitation even if he loses this time!If it wasn't for Wen Liangchen's vigilance, maybe 5000 people would be buried in the belly of the fish.

With this little ability, dare to touch the throne?

"Daddy, I know my mistake..."

The fourth prince didn't dare to sit, so he just knelt down.Pop had seen the details, and he couldn't argue.When encountering a small group of pirates, Wen Liangchen did indeed suggest sending scout ships to investigate. It was because he thought his own ships were invincible that he finally fell into heavy siege.

"Get up...you intend to explore the East China Sea, I can't dampen your ambition, and you are allowed to do so."

To be honest, in Zhao Xi's heart, the talents of the fourth son are only suitable for being a Taiping King, and he has the idea of ​​expanding the territory, but it is a pity that he has more energy than he wants.

The reason why Zhao Xi let him go was because the equipment of Guochao warships was enough to sweep across the ocean, and even if they lost, they had the strength to flee back to the mainland.

Two one, in Zhao Xi's view, the fourth son is so thoughtful but has little ability, and he doesn't know it. The result of staying in the court will only increase the variables of the inheritance of the Datong... because of this People are very good at mixing.

"Xuan Wen Liangchen comes in..."

Regarding the idea of ​​this part of the team going to sea, Zhao Xi simply told the fourth son that he may not be able to do it, or that nothing will be achieved because of his leadership.

"You guys also know that the duty of the Guochao Navy is first to escort the merchants of the Guochao, and secondly to find out the sea trade routes. In addition, it needs to investigate the customs and customs of the various dynasties in maritime trade. In other words, the purpose of the navy to go to sea is to Deterrence."

"Naval escort, even if it is to face pirates, it will only be an encounter, not an annihilation battle. Such a result cannot fundamentally eliminate pirates, or it is impossible to eliminate pirates."

"Your mission to go to sea is to supplement the navy, or to do things that the navy can't take care of. Wen Liangchen, I will give you an order to go to sea to fight, and you will lead everything."

Zhao Xi ignored the puzzlement in the fourth prince's eyes.

"Back to the official house, I will fulfill my mission!"

"Okay! When you go to sea, you don't need to be a member of the army of the imperial court. As for what kind of status, whether it's a merchant or a pirate, it varies according to the time."

"Your strategic goal is to clean up all the islands in the East China Sea as much as possible, so as to ensure that there is no place for filth to hide in the sea from the country to the east."

"After completing the elimination of the islands, we must establish a connection between the entire East Out Islands to form a response and link between all the islands, and integrate the islands as much as possible to form a complete island defense line."

"The richness of the island's products is beyond what you can imagine. This time, I will send an exploration team from the workshop city to accompany me."

"My idea is to establish an effective connection between the coastal state capital of the country and the many islands in the East China Sea, and to establish an effective connection between the many islands, and to establish supply points on the islands in the entire East China Sea, and finally form the entire island. Warship patrol..."

"Zhongzheng, ask the secretary supervisor to notify the cabinet of this record."

Zhao Xi is waiting for the fourth son and Wen Liangchen to digest these contents.

Zhao Xi has always had this idea.It's just that before Guochao regained Yanyun, try not to show his ambition.

"Officials, are the officials no longer associated with the imperial court in name when they go to sea?"

"Well, continue." This Wen Liangchen was quite knowledgeable.It seems that you were recommended by many generals of the old guard battalion, it was not without reason.

"When I go to sea, can I recruit the pirates according to the situation? Five thousand soldiers, it is really difficult to complete the defense of the entire island company..."

"Yes. I grant you the right to act cheaply. One thing you must remember is that when the imperial court recovers Yanyun, it will be the day you restore your identity."

"Since going to sea, the Imperial City Division will keep the channels open to ensure that you will not be in a desperate situation."

At this time, the fourth prince seems to be a bystander...

The fourth prince is a bit confused, since his father has allowed him to explore the sea, it seems that he has given Wen Liangchen the initiative to fight at sea...

What else is in it, the fourth prince couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only listen temporarily.

Chapter 838

"Wen Liangchen, I have to explain something to you. The entire Tuohai team, I ordered you to be the chief military officer, and the fourth prince is equivalent to the civil servants and supervisors in the imperial army."

Whether it's checks or balances, Zhao Xi believes that Wen Liangchen can understand.Wen Liangchen was born in the old guard camp. After years of indoctrination, many concepts should be deeply ingrained, or have already formed a brand in his heart.

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Okay. I allow you to read the secret records of the Imperial City Division, the Dushui Supervisor, and other related yamen. Please step back..."

Wen Liangchen withdrew, and the fourth prince was still there in a daze, thinking about the purpose of his father's arrangement.

"Can't figure it out?"

"Child dare not."

"The reason why Wen Liangchen went to sea with you was recommended by the old guard battalion, Di Shuai, Zhong Shuai and others. Wen Liangchen is already a military commander at the level of a sixth-rank box commander. The reason why he went to sea is because he has experience in going to sea. , and Wen Liangchen has the ability to preside over the overall situation in terms of tactical quality."

"He was ordered by the emperor, not to respond to the recruitment orders of your rabble..."

The fourth son is a person who can't recognize the situation clearly, can't see through himself, but has no idea.In Zhao Xi's view, the fourth son cannot compare with the prince, not even the second son.

At the same time, such people often have room to grow because of their ambitions.As long as you accept the lesson and put your mind down, things may not be impossible.

Zhao Xi entrusted Wen Liangchen with important tasks in front of him, which was also a way to guide him to recognize the situation.Of course, blows also exist.

Can the fourth prince be enlightened, Zhao Xi can only do this.

"You have the heart to travel across the East China Sea, and you have the heart to study Goryeo Fusang, the premise is that you have such strength."

"Daddy, the child needs the court's support!"

"Before Guochao regained Yanyun, it had no intention of meddling beyond the East China Sea. I will tell you that if you rely on your own strength to build a territory outside of Guochao's island chain strategy, the imperial court will implement the governor system and allow the country to be restrained." considerable rights."

There is no authority to manage fiefdoms in the imperial court, and most of them are so-called remote management.The fourth prince's ambition has great interest in governing a territory.

Zhao Xi hoped that the experience of going to sea would help the fourth prince grow up, and it would not kill his ambition.

Zhao Xi very much hopes that this nondescript team can finally succeed in Korea and Fusang.

Once the second son has made some achievements in Annan Jing, and the fourth son has made achievements in Koryo and Fusang, and the court will recover Yanyun... Zhao Xi will come to this era without regret.

······

The primary purpose of the fourth prince's going to sea should be to win Liuqiu first. This is not just a matter of revenge, but is determined by Liuqiu's geographical location.

Based on Liuqiu, the team has considerable advantages in going south to Nanyang, north to Korea, and east to Fusang... This is why Liuqiu gathers pirates.

It should be most convenient to go to Liuqiu from Mingzhou or Quanzhou, but because of the special nature of the team, they can only go to sea from Dengzhou.
