Chapter 1374 Another Suggestion
Seeing that the Marquis of Linhuai seemed to have something to say, Zhu Pingan asked Liu Dadao and the others to escort the food and wages and walk in front. He and the Marquis of Linhuai slowed down and were several meters behind them. , leaving a conversational distance.
Sure enough, the Marquis of Linhuai exchanged a few words and then sighed and said, "Oh, I regret not listening to my nephew's words."
"What does uncle mean?" Zhu Ping'an didn't know. What did the Marquis of Linhuai mean? He asked softly.
“A few days ago, you suggested that I petition the Holy One to build more warships and restore the old forehead, but I didn’t listen to you. One time when I was having a drink with Wei Guogong, I mentioned this, but I didn’t expect to be Duke Wei remembered it, and he submitted your suggestion to the Holy Emperor, who approved it. I only found out about it when I received the newspaper yesterday. I heard that the Holy Emperor also sent a reward to Duke Wei's palace in the capital. ”
The Marquis of Linhuai beat his chest and said, regretting not listening to Zhu Pingan's words. This achievement and reward should have belonged to him. If time could go back again, I would definitely adopt Zhu Ping'an's suggestion and seek advice from the saints.
So that’s what happened.
To be honest, Zhu Pingan was a little happy when he heard the news. It was not that he was gloating about the misfortune of Linhuai Marquis for not listening to his suggestions, but he was more happy about the warships at Jiangkou. The number of warships increased and the strength of the navy If it is strengthened, the power to resist Japanese pirates will also be strengthened, which is good news for the future eradication of Japanese pirates.
“When we were having a drink, Duke Wei Guo became a little absent-minded after hearing my suggestion, and then left in a hurry. At that time, I thought he was worried about the affairs of the rear family, but now that I think about it, He just went back to make some notes. I will have to come to the house one day to ask Duke Wei for an explanation." The Marquis of Linhuai shook his head and regretted it.
"Uncle, calm down the fire, the fire will damage the liver." Zhu Pingan opened his mouth and comforted softly.
In fact, it is not easy to blame Wei Guogong too much for this matter. Although it's a bit unethical for him to sneak up on someone, after all, the advice is that you don't want it first. Others want what you don't want, so don't be too harsh on it.
"This thief is still on guard. I have to come to him to ask for an explanation." The Marquis of Linhuai snorted.
Should the sky be on guard? !
After hearing what Wei Guogong said, Zhu Pingan's eyes couldn't help but light up. It turned out that Wei Guogong was Yingtian Guards.
In Yingtian today, there are three people who are the most powerful, or have the most real power. One is the exhibitor, who is actually the Minister of the Ministry of War of Yingtian, because the Minister of the Ministry of War of Yingtian basically holds this official position concurrently, and the other One is the garrison eunuch, and the other is the Yingtian garrison. The three of them are jointly in charge of Yingtian affairs. Although it is the Minister of War of Yingtian who calls the shots, the say of the other two cannot be ignored.
I am responsible for the military preparations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so I will definitely have to deal with them. In any case, Wei Guogong owed him a favor. It would definitely be smoother when dealing with him in the future.
After Linhuai Hou regretted it for a while, he squinted his small eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an, admiringly saying, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each wave is stronger than the last. The wise nephew is not even young. To reach the fifth rank, your vision and ability are really admirable."
"Uncle, Ping An is not worthy of the award. It was just a coincidence last time." Zhu Ping'an said modestly.
"My nephew is too modest. Ahem, I regret not listening to my nephew's words. I wonder if my nephew has any good suggestions about the current situation?" The Marquis of Linhuai could not blink his small eyes. Blinking at Zhu Pingan, he said with expectation.
amount
Is this why you came? ! After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an finally understood the purpose of Marquis Linhuai's visit.
"Uncle, Ping'an has just entered the officialdom and has some immature ideas. Do you have any good suggestions? Last time, it was just the right time." Faced with the expectant gaze of Marquis Linhuai, Zhu Ping'an gave a bitter smile. .
"My dear nephew, if you and my uncle-in-law's family have anything we can't talk about, feel free to tell us what you think."
Linhuai Marquis urged.
Well, after all the words have been said, what else can he do? Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, the Marquis of Linhuai is a distinguished person and comes from a family of military generals. Some words may be passed down through their mouths, which may be more appropriate than for me, a civil servant who has just entered the officialdom.
Zhu Ping'an raised his head and looked at Linhuai Marquis, "Uncle, Ping'an does have some immature ideas, please give me some advice."
"My nephew is being polite, but it doesn't matter, let's talk to each other. Let’s study.” Marquis Linhuai said with a smile.
"Uncle, the current situation has nothing more to do with my uncle's identity and responsibilities than the Japanese invasion." Zhu Pingan said softly.
"What my nephew said is true. Nowadays, Japanese invaders are becoming more and more serious. In coastal areas such as Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, there are news of Japanese invaders almost every day. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese invaders are now the most serious. .”
Marquis Linhuai nodded and sighed.
"My uncle is now the admiral of Caojiang of the Yingtian Left Army Governor's Office and the left guard of the navy army. Let's not mention the Japanese invaders in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian and other places for the time being, but only talk about the Japanese invaders in the southern Zhili area. Now the Japanese pirates Stationed at Baoshan at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it was dangerous to take advantage of the sea, and the wind ravaged the area around Taicang, Yingzhou, and Xu. Prefecture, Susong, Huaiyang and other places were harmed by Japanese pirates and suffered heavy losses. The Japanese pirates fled from one place to another. Due to administrative boundaries, the officers and soldiers in various places fought separately and it was difficult to coordinate to fight against the Japanese. The Japanese pirates took advantage of the situation. If the situation is favorable, they will burn, kill and loot. If the situation is unfavorable, they will flee to another place to commit crimes and escape the pursuit of the police. The Japanese pirates are becoming more and more arrogant, and the losses in various places are becoming increasingly heavy. Ping An believes that Yingtian is the fundamental place, Zhenjiang and Jingkou are the throats of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and Guabu and Yizhen are the gateways to water transportation. Why not imitate the Jiajing Eight. In the 9th and 9th years and other years, additional general military officers were stationed in Zhenjiang or Jinshan Guards to rectify the river Yang, the commander-in-chief of Huaihai, the admiral of coastal defense, and the jurisdiction of the Su and Song prefectures, coordinating the officers and soldiers from all over the South Zhili. In this way, the South Zhili people play a game of chess and coordinate to fight against the Japanese. What does uncle think? "
Zhu Pingan thought for a moment and said softly to Marquis Linhuai.
As the Marquis of Linhuai listened, his little eyes became brighter and brighter. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Imitating the old practice of the 8th and 9th years of Jiajing, we will add a general military officer to take charge of Huaihai, admiral of coastal defense, and jurisdiction over Suzhou." , Songzhufu, this way can change the situation where each place is fighting independently and unify all places. Military power is of great benefit to control the Japanese. Because there are old practices to follow and no overstepping, the wise nephew suggested, great good, great good"
This suggestion is tailor-made for me, and this suggestion The gold content is much higher than the last proposal to add warships.
The Marquis of Linhuai was full of praise for Zhu Ping'an and was extremely satisfied.
Haha, Duke of Wei, can you steal my nephew? I want you to look good in a few days
Thinking of the way Duke Wei reads the newspaper in a few days, the Marquis of Linhuai I couldn't help but grin.
"The position of Commander-in-Chief may be difficult at that time. For the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief, my uncle will try hard to get it. There is still hope."
Zhu Ping'an blinked slightly and said. .
There is a follow-up. When the Marquis of Linhuai heard this, his eyes became brighter and his breathing became faster. Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
This is a serial plan. The Marquis of Linhuai was extremely satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's suggestion. . (End of this chapter)
