After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

When the fourth elder brother rushed to Shi Nan Mansion non-stop, Jinghai Hou Shi Lang was taking Xu Zhengyuan who rushed to Ryukyu to make the final arrangement before going to Japan.

After taking back Ryukyu in the first battle with Zheng, Kangxi granted Shi Lang the title of Marquis of Jinghai because of his meritorious service in recovering Ryukyu, and led troops to garrison Ryukyu to prevent other rebellious people in Ryukyu from rebelling again.

Moreover, Shi Lang was stationed in Ryukyu not only to prevent rebels from Ryukyu, but also to prevent the small country of South Vietnam not far from Ryukyu from taking advantage of the chaos to invade the Qing Dynasty.Although South Vietnam has a small country and few soldiers, it has always liked to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Qing Dynasty.

Send troops to fight, and they will surrender soon after. Repeatedly, it is always boring and disgusting.If Kangxi didn't make an order, Shi Lang really wanted to lead his troops to wipe them out.

After the 23rd year of Kangxi, all the soldiers stationed in Ryukyu increased every year. Counting to the 28th year of Kangxi, the total number of soldiers in all establishments totaled 2.

Of course, these people must not be able to bring all of these people with them when they go to Japan this time.However, in order to prevent future troubles, Shi Lang prepared to take about half of the total Ryukyu troops to sea.

According to the current number of ships, these soldiers are distributed on more than 180 ships.Among them, the ships used are roughly divided into [-] total ships, each battleship is equipped with a commander-in-chief, three generals, who are in charge of steering and checking astrology, and the rest are [-] artillerymen and [-] archers.

Another 160 small boats were prepared.This small boat was built in imitation of the serial boats of the former Ming Dynasty, connected horizontally and vertically by iron cables, and arranged on the left and right sides of the main ship for escort.However, there are all kinds of artillery, bows and arrows on board, the difference is only in the quantity.

After Xu Zhengyuan listened to Shi Lang's arrangement in silence, he felt that such an arrangement was too grandiose.In addition to the manpower originally stationed in Ryukyu, Lord Yao also handed over half of the Fujian Navy to him. Counting these troops, there are always about [-].

Although the Fujian Navy is not as complete as the Ryukyu Navy, but these years, Mr. Yao has been brazen enough to ask the emperor for money, and he has exhausted his efforts to temper and temper, and he has developed a strength that is not weaker than the Ryukyu Navy. .

Not to mention that their ships are better than here in Ryukyu to a certain extent.Just taking the artillery on the ship as an example, the caliber of the artillery on the Ryukyu Main Ship is a bit larger.It is said that it was personally supervised by Dai Zi, a weapon master in Beijing.

Therefore, for this trip to sea, according to the number of ships after manning, the Fujian Navy has 150 ships of its own.If the arrangement by General Shi Lang is added, the entire fleet will be a bit too conspicuous.

He wasn't worried about the news that the Japanese pirates in Japan would receive in advance because of the excessive noise, but he was afraid that after General Shi Lang's self-assertion was discovered by the emperor, Master Yao would also be punished.

But with the prestige of the general, this time he, the deputy general with the title of general, must not be the one in command.Even if the general gave Lord Yao some face, he would not allow him to comment easily on his formation.

The barracks is such a direct place. Since the general is the leader, it is doomed that the battlefield can only be his own words.

After all, Xu Zhengyuan is a soldier, and he is used to speaking quickly. He stopped by the ferry worriedly and saw the continuous fleet. Thinking of Master Yao's explanation before, he couldn't help but persuade Shi Lang in a warm voice: "General, before coming here, Governor Yao ordered the general to bring a message. The emperor only ordered to investigate the details of the Japanese pirates. We don't need to mobilize the masses like this."

The emperor's decree said that they should lead people to investigate the strength of Dongpu first, but when it came to Master Yao, this decree changed to the emperor ordered General Shi Lang to personally lead troops to the sea to check the strength of the Japanese pirates.He passed on the message as before, but for some reason, when he came to General Shi Lang, he unintentionally acted like the emperor ordered them to send troops to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

Shi Lang was indifferent to his words of persuasion.

He is seven feet tall, and because he has been leading soldiers, he has a killing spirit on his body.It is hot and humid here in Ryukyu all the year round, so he was tanned and darkened.However, his complexion does not mean that he is an ordinary old man, even though he is over fifty, he still looks hale and hearty.

Xu Zhengyuan thought that after Yao Qisheng moved out, Shi Lang would at least take it easy and restrain himself.After all, the emperor didn't intend to really let them beat Dongpu to the point where he couldn't fight back.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lang was originally a person who "will not accept the orders of the kings abroad", not to mention Yao Qisheng's face, even if Kangxi himself made an order, if it affected his battle plan, he would only listen to three points, and the other seven points would be taken care of. It drifts with the wind.

So he just calmly raised his eyelids and gave Xu Zhengyuan a sideways look, and said indifferently, "Be prepared."

In Shi Lang's eyes, Xu Zhengyuan was just a brat who had never fought a single battle, and he didn't know how to fight with troops at sea.So to him, it is natural to treat it as irrelevant.

And in this year, he has dealt with the rogues at sea a lot. Although it looks fake, his methods are not weaker than ordinary soldiers.

He has never played against Japan, and he doesn't know what will happen after the fight.If you lose your momentum with less manpower, it will be fine. If you are really chased and beaten by Japanese pirates in Japan, wouldn't it be a great loss of face for the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing what he said, Xu Zhengyuan could only say that the remonstrance that had already been turned into his mouth was put down.Continue to look at the sea worriedly.

This is different from what he expected.

It can only be said that when Shi Lang was making achievements, Xu Zhengyuan was still trying to climb up.The difference between the thinking of a general and a soldier is indeed much greater than the difference between the waves on the sea at high tide.

After Shi Lang finished speaking, he didn't care what Xu Zhengyuan said, and stepped onto the deck of the main ship.Before dispatching troops, he had to check whether the artillery on the ship was in normal use and whether the soldiers were seasick.

Because Xu Zhengyuan had never participated in a naval battle, he didn't tell him what was worrying him.

As far as he knew, the climate in Japan was not much different from that of the capital. It was almost winter, and if the fleet encountered freezing waters in the waters of Japan, it would be difficult to even land normally, let alone the Japanese pirates in Japan.

But these are not something a small lieutenant general can plan, so Shi Lang suppressed this worry in his heart without saying a word.

On the other side, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen hurriedly drove for a long time, and arrived at the center of the "uprising" incident, Shi Nanfu, before the common people made more trouble.

As soon as he arrived at Shi Nan, he began to investigate the cause and effect of the incident non-stop.He acted resolutely, coupled with his distinguished status and the reputation of acting on behalf of the emperor, officials of all sizes in Hubei naturally only dared to respect him, and did not dare to play fish in troubled waters to fool right and wrong.

So Yinzhen sent someone to find out the current confrontation in the shortest possible time.After clearing up the atmosphere, he immediately sent people to release the people detained by the government back home, leaving only a few people who took the lead in making troubles, and reserved them for the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys.

Because he was worried that these people would be settled by Qiuhou, he would order a yamen servant who took the lead in beating the people and punish them severely, warning the yamen servants not to embarrass the people anymore.After everything was arranged properly, Yinzhen wrote a detailed letter and ordered someone to send it back to the Beijing Central Newspaper to Khan Ama to know.

The letter was also sent to Kangxi non-stop.

After Kangxi received the letter, he briefly read it and nodded in praise.Yinreng could not avoid listening to the kind words of the fourth elder brother.Hearing that he almost couldn't hold back his face and wanted to sneer.No matter how they used to be rivals, he still felt a little itchy when he heard his rivals being praised.

But knowing that the fourth brother was personally recommended by him, he had no choice but to put away his contempt, and echoed Khan Ama with a smile on his face: "The fourth brother has always been a practical person."

Kangxi glanced at him with a smile, stopped praising the fourth elder brother, and read the letter instead.He is very satisfied with his son's way of cutting the mess quickly.Although the fourth child is a little worse than the prince, his skills and abilities are not inferior to the other sons.

After reading the letter in his hand again and again, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the gloomy look reappeared.Wu Mingli is really daring, the truth is very different from what he wrote in his booklet!

But even if he gets angry again, he also understands that now is not the time to deal with people.The key to this matter is how to appease the people.Yinzhen did a good job, imprisoning the leader and leniently dealing with other implicated people.

Kangxi's fingers twirled the letter paper, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact he had already thought of a solution in his heart.

Those who take the lead in making trouble must be dealt with strictly according to the law, but other people must still be dealt with leniently.After all, the mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan.

After deliberating for a moment, he said lightly to Yinfeng: "As you said, ask Dai Zi to prepare."

"Ama Khan mean?" Yinfeng said.Did Khan Ama understand what he said?

Kangxi glanced at him angrily, "Just follow your advice and ask Jingshan to start making farm tools."

The original hunting ground became a military camp, but now it's all right, a good military factory has been converted into a farming base.When he thought that he would not be able to hunt in Jingshan again, and might even have to help check the quality of farm tools, Kangxi felt a sulky breath stuck in his heart.

Wronged, too wronged.The majestic emperor has to make way for the common people.

When Yinreng got the exact words, he couldn't help smiling, "Yes, Khan Ama is wise, my son will ask them to do it." Great, Dai Zi will have to work hard this time.

Knowing that his plan was finally approved, the depression that had just been born in his heart was swept away.So in less than half a day, the Jingshan Army Factory received the order to suspend all weapon production, and first make an order for a farm tool.

After hearing the dictation, Dai Zi was dumbfounded for a long time. The eunuch who passed the dictation to him was terrified, and he couldn't believe what he heard, "Dare to ask this father-in-law, did you deliver the wrong word? ordered to make plow carts and other farm implements?"

"It can't be fake at all." The father-in-law who delivered the decree shook his body slightly, and he got goosebumps all over his body when he was stared at by Mrs. Dai's frightened eyes.

"What is the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Dai Zi asked in disbelief.He finished the steam engine, and the cannons were made in strict accordance with the prince's requirements. Why was he suddenly asked to make a sledge?

The father-in-law who delivered the decree finished shaking his goosebumps, and after regaining his composure, he put on a professional smile and said slowly to Dai Zi: "Before you come, His Royal Highness asked me to give you another sentence. After listening to it, sir, don't complain about the little one." Man, we're just messengers."

"What?" Dai Zi's eyes widened, expecting him to tell other invisible conditions.Even the prince's outrageous request to install a cannon barrel on the sledge, he accepted it.

He stared for a long time, but saw the father-in-law in front of him slowly raised his lips and said a word: "Yes!"

"..." Dai Zi was completely dumbfounded.
