Chapter 488: The new sailor general
After the war, Luzhou was full of evil spirits. First, the Mongolian cavalry rushed in, and the iron hooves plundered. In between the city and the countryside, where the cavalry could reach were looted. Then, Wang Qiang and Li Fugui, the army of the North, led their troops to Han.
The river fought for several months, and the people lived in poverty wherever the troops passed. Although the war had ended for several months, walking on the ground of Luzhou, you could see the traces of war at your eyes.
The houses burned to the point where only broken walls were left, the trenches dug out, the chest walls piled up, the dilapidated fences standing on the ground, the broken rusty guns, torn into strips, smoked
The flag of fire, occasionally you can see wild dogs running all the way from the grass with a few bones in it. When you look closer, you can't help but shudder. In the shallow soil, the buried corpses are rotten, most of them are
It has been dug out by a wild dog, and its black eyes look up at the sky, seemingly still showing its desire and attachment to life.
However, on the scarred ground of Luzhou, another thriving scene appeared. In the fields on the roadside, many farmers have returned to their homes and started to farm. Although they have missed the sowing season,
If you plant some, you will always have some harvest. The crops that have just grown from the blood-soaked land, the green and oily leaves make people see hope for the future.
The old farmer held the plow, and the young man pulled the rope. Without livestock, he could only use human resources to replace it. However, this seemed like a father and son, but he looked very happy. The young man lowered his head and left deep footprints in the field.
The old man held the plow handle tightly with both hands, letting the iron plowshare penetrate deep into the ground, watching the black and oily soil rolling up. A happy smile appeared on his face, and behind them, an old woman carried her shoulders.
Holding a bamboo basket, throwing the seeds into the field that you just plowed. After plowing two ridges, the boy unloaded the rope cover, walked to the edge of the field, scooped up a bowl of water from the wooden barrel, and drank the gudugudu.
.Sit on the ridge of the field, he actually sang to the sky. The old farmer stood with a plow, took off his cigarette pier from his belt, lit the cigarette pot, and among the smoke, he looked at the young man who sang me with a smile. The old woman changed
Another bamboo basket was filled with burnt manure. While walking, the dirt was spilled into the ridges where the seeds had just been sown. From time to time, he looked up at the old farmers and young men by the field, with their faces full of their faces.
It's a satisfied smile.
The singing attracted the attention of a group of pedestrians on the avenue. Everyone stopped the horses and looked at the family with their faces.
Brothers, go, go!
Brothers, go, go!
Brothers!
Let's go!
Follow the battle flag in a swarm,
Never look back,
If you turn around, you will be beaten.
The sun will never be seen!
Brothers, go, go!
Brothers, go, go!
Brothers, go!
Follow the battle flag in a swarm,
Never fall behind.
If you fall behind, you will miss the dawn.
Can't catch up with the decisive battle!
Brothers.
Let's go!
The lyrics are extremely simple, easy to understand, and catchy, but the passion and passion revealed in the singing make the group of knights on the way excited and majestic.
"Governor, it is the battle song of our Northern Expedition Army!" Wu Fan said softly, "It is really rare that a country boy could sing the taste of moving forward and dying with pride."
This group of people was Yun Zhao and dozens of personal guards who had secretly entered Luzhou. In order not to attract attention, Yun Zhao came out this time and did not even bring dark clouds and snow. That guy was too tall and too majestic.
It has become the symbol of Yun Zhao. When it appears there, Yun Zhao must have appeared there. During this period, Yun Zhao transferred to another war horse. Although it is extraordinary, he was used to riding the dark clouds that had already had a close relationship with Yun Zhao.
Xue and Yun Zhao are still not used to it.
"This is because Li Fugui and Wang Qiang's troops have been fighting here for a long time. I guess the soldiers often sing this battle song, and this young man has learned it!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I am used to listening to the soldiers singing today. Today
Hearing this young man sings a different flavor, it sounds so touching!"
"Governor, this is what people want! With these people who support our North Governor's Office, under the leadership of the Governor, we will inevitably move from one victory to another until we expel the Mongols from our land!" Wu
Anyone is excited and authentic.
On the road, the stagnant and side-looking eyes of the boy made the teenager's singing abruptly stop. The family showed a look of panic on their faces, and they looked at the group of people uneasy.
Just by dressing up, you can see that this group of people is very different from ordinary people. Dozens of magical war horses are not everywhere in Luzhou. The horses are now knights, all with swords and bows on their backs.
Majestic.
Yun Zhao smiled and shook his horse's reins and said, "Let's go, don't disturb them."
The sound of hooves was so loud that smoke and dust were rolled up, and the group quickly left.
The boy looked at the other person's back as he was curiously away, and a passionate singing suddenly came from his ears.
"Brothers, go!"
Unlike the meaning in his singing, the song sung by the group of knights reveals the meaning of solemnity and iron blood, and shows a more powerful temperament.
"Dad, they must be from the Northern Army!" The young man turned his head excitedly and looked at the old farmer, "Listen, the taste of the song they sang is exactly the same as the ones who sang in the Northern Army soldiers in the past!"
The galloping war horses entered Shuntian Prefecture City without any obstacles. Zhuo Yiming, the governor of Luzhou who had already been notified, sent a special person to wait at the gate of the city and led them straight to the governor's prefecture.
"Governor!" Zhuo Yiming had already been waiting at the gate of the mansion. Beside him, Ma You and another general also came to greet him excitedly.
"No need to be too polite, let's talk about it when you go in!" Yun Zhao turned over and dismounted, raised his whip, and stepped into the mansion gate.
After both sides sat down, Zhuo Yiming cleared his throat, "Governor, I will report to you about Luzhou's affairs in recent times."
Yun Zhao waved his hand with a smile, "No need, I have read a lot and heard a lot along the way. Lord Zhuo is worthy of being a pillar of the country. After the war, Luzhou was decided to recover to such a situation. The people's hearts were stable.
Peace, this is all the credit of Lord Zhuo. I am here. I want to thank Lord Zhuo for his hard work."
"Don't dare!" Zhuo Yiming bowed and said, "This is the duty of the post. The governor's praise is praised. The post is not ashamed of the post. If it were not for the strong assistance from Yizhou, Luzhou would not be able to recover a little bit of vitality so quickly.
.I am very grateful for the act of Yizhou's tightening belts to support Luzhou. Without the wise decision of the governor, I will not be as good as Luzhou today!”
Yun Zhao laughed. "It's all a family, I won't speak two families. Okay, Ma You, let me introduce your new partner!"
The veteran standing beside Ma You stood on one side with his hands hanging down, but his eyes swept around Yun Zhao like shuttles, his face was bronze, and although he was wearing a new robe, he still smelled like a fishy smell on his body.
It was hard to cover up, and when he heard Yun Zhao's words, he stood up quickly, striding into the hall, and stood in front of Yun Zhao.
"The last general Cao Xinyu, I have seen the Grand Governor!" He bowed with his hands.
"General Cao, I have heard of the name for a long time." Yun Zhao said with a smile: "It is an honor for you to join the Governor's Office of the North and a glory for me, Yun Zhao."
"The governor is so serious, Cao has been competing for half his life. He wasted his time for decades and had the opportunity to join the military again. It is my always wish to show his skills. I will do my best to build a river across the river for the governor.
"Cao Xinyu's voice was loud, "It's just that the navy's cost a lot. It costs several times or even ten times the cost of a military army. I wonder if the governor knows it?"
Hearing Cao Xinyu's words, Ma You's face changed, and Zhuo Yiming winked repeatedly, but Cao Xinyu ignored him and just looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao couldn't help but laugh, "It's better to meet than to be famous. General Cao has a straightforward temper. OK, I like it, it suits my taste. But now the governor's office in Zhengbei is invented and is in trouble. I'm afraid I won't be as good as you for the time being
What I wish, but now, I can promise you that once the situation improves, or within one year, or two or three years, I will never give you what I want, but if you fail to achieve the goal I want?
”
Yun Zhao looked at the other party.
"No need for the governor's marching law, Cao tied a huge rock on his body and plunged into the Cangjiang River!"
"I will give you everything you want, but if you can't give me an elite navy, wouldn't it be as simple as diving into Cangjiang?" Yun Zhao's smile was shrunk and he said with a deep heart.
Cao Xinyu was shocked and then thrust his chest, "The governor's words will be remembered in his heart."
"Very good, what is the biggest difficulty now?" Yun Zhao said, "Sit down and talk!"
Cao Xinyu stepped back and sat down, still sitting straight, his wrinkled forehead twisted into a deep Sichuan character: "It's not the biggest problem right now, but the difficulties everywhere. First, it's hard to recruit sailors, General Ma
I asked me to recruit northerners as much as possible, but northerners fear water, and not many people are familiar with water. Like the thousand people under General Ma, they are brave and warlike soldiers on the land, but when they arrive on the ship, they all become soft-legged crabs.
If you can’t even stand firmly, how can you fight?”
"Second, the ship. Governor, there is no shipyard in the north that can build warships, and the structure of warships is completely different from that of civilian ships. Now there is not even a suitable wood for shipbuilding."
Yun Zhaoqi said: "If you tell the wood, you can cut down as much as you want!"
Listening to Yun Zhao's words, Cao Xinyu smiled bitterly: "Governor, this wood for shipbuilding can not be used for any material, and it cannot be used just by cutting it down. The good ship material is usually cut down.
, After being treated and dehydrated for one to two years, it can only be used to build a ship. Otherwise, the ship will fall apart in a few days after it is launched!"
Yun Zhao's face turned red, knowing that he had already made a big ugly inadvertently.
"This is a difficult problem, that is, we can't build our own ships in a short period of time! Then go and buy them!"
"The question is, will the Jingzhou Gutai Shipyard, which can build large warships, sell it to us? And the governor, if we buy the ship publicly, wouldn't it be contrary to your original wishes and would we make our secret public?"
Cao Xinyu said.
Yun Zhao pondered for a moment, "I will operate the matter of buying a boat in Gutai Shipyard, so you don't have to worry about it. But you have to train the sailors as soon as possible. It's not wrong for Mayou to try to train the Northern Army. Wait for the future
When recruiting a large number of soldiers, consider the Southern people. These northern troops are extremely brave on the battlefield. Can't they be familiar with water? Ma You, go back and tell your soldiers that if they can't be strong within three months
If you are familiar with water, I took off my military uniform and got out of the army and went home to farm, including you!"
"The last one understands!" Ma You jumped up and replied loudly.
