"Li Guerrilla, I have arrived in person, aren't you still welcome?"

Chen Yichen doesn't care much about the superficial red tape, but this does not mean that others can ignore the superiors and inferiors in front of him.

Especially in places like military camps that emphasize discipline and order, it is necessary to emphasize the obedience of subordinates.

Li Zan could tolerate Chen Yichen if he didn't leave the camp, but he stood in front of him, and still did not have any etiquette as a subordinate. Chen Yichen could not tolerate this.

Not to mention that the person who appeared in front of Shen Yichen was a drunken drunken man. When could he drink too much at the important military camp?

Hearing Chen Yichen's cold questioning, Li Zan put down the wine jar in his hand, then sat up lazily from the couch, and casually clasped his fists and said, "The army of the army will not worship him, please allow the last general to join the army. Meet the service."

"It's okay if the soldiers of the army don't worship, but is the military courtesy like this?"

"Li Guerrilla, don't force me to punish you for your disrespect for Shangguan!"

Judging from the appearance of Xiaochengshuizhai, Li Zan should not be a foolish person, but his words and deeds showed no respect for Shangguan at all.

Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty. Regardless of whether Li Zan is capable or not, as long as he cannot strictly implement his instructions, Chen Yichen will eliminate such "independent" subordinates.

Faced with Chen Yichen's intimidation, Li Zan, who was full of decadent and lazy atmosphere, looked up at the young imperial admiral in front of him.

The two sides were confronting each other's eyes, and the atmosphere in the tent became tense instantly. Whether it was Cang Huotou and others led by Chen Yichen, or Li Zan's personal soldiers standing outside the tent, they all looked at this scene with nervous expressions. Worry about something going on.

After a few seconds of confrontation, Li Zan moved his eyes away and finally stood up and bowed his head and fist to Chen Yichen.

"The deputy commander of Fujian, Li Zan, the guerrilla general of Fuzhou Navy, paid a visit to Admiral Chen."

"The Fuzhou Navy is the southeastern gateway of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Guerrilla was the commander of the first army. How could he not set an example?"

"Come here, throw all the wine vessels in the tent to the officer, and you will not be allowed to drink wine in the army without permission in the future!"

Chen Yichen wants not only Li Zan to admit his mistake, but also to the other party’s surrender.

Since he entered the camp and the other party gave him a warning, Chen Yichen must find this scene back.

The strong in the army are respected, and what you want the soldiers to believe is not etiquette and preaching, but iron-fisted means.

After giving the order, Cang Huotou and others did not hesitate at all, and took the wine jar and wine vessel in the tent and threw it out of the tent.

"Bang, bang" the sound of the shattering pottery, accompanied by the smell of wine floating around, attracted the attention of many Fuzhou navy soldiers.

But unlike other airborne civilian troops, most of the soldiers were dissatisfied with each other. Chen Yichen's actions were done, not to mention ordinary soldiers outside the tent, even Li Zan's personal guards, no one dared to have them. Abnormal movements and dissatisfaction.

"What happened? Why did Admiral Chen smash the General's wine jar?"

"It is probably because guerrilla drinking offended Admiral Chen, which caused the other party to be furious."

"Oh, the general was a brave man, but he stayed in this small water village for a few years. He lost all his strength and lived a life of drunkenness all day long."

"Can this blame guerrillas? It's not that the group of dogs in Fuzhou City have been framed, otherwise why would they be so decadent!"

The soldiers outside the camp were talking, and it could not affect Chen Yichen in the camp at all. He stalked up to Li Zan, showing his absolute majesty and said, "Your military experience, I have already heard of it before I came to the water camp. At the same time, I believe you must have heard of the military remediation methods of my official in Fujian."

"The army pays attention to orders and prohibitions. Today, this kind of disrespectful behavior of the Shangguan is not allowed to happen again."

"Li Zan, do you understand?"

Feeling the majestic pressure and momentum of Chen Yichen's body, the drunken and lazy aura of Li Zan's body finally disappeared, replaced by a full of shock.

Just as Chen Yichen said, after he came to Fujian, there was almost nothing that the military households in the entire Fujian were unaware of.

From the heart, Li Zan admires Chen Yichen in his heart!

After all, killing Dou Yi, the commander of Fuzhou Guard, and daring to commit suicide alone and enter the rebel camp to recruit. This decisive and cruel force, not to mention a civil official, even the general may be far inferior to Chen Yichen. .

But no matter how much I heard, it is almost impossible to get Li Zan's surrender based on these things alone. He was not the generals who inherited the title of honor and relative, but the soldiers at the bottom of the military household, and spent decades The military officer who came out of the sea of ​​blood in time.

Civil officials despise military officers, who are also brave and brave, and many civil officials who are subconsciously look down on them, let alone Chen Yichen is still so young.

But at this moment, Li Zan finally understood why Chen Yichen was able to go out to govern the Fujian army to suppress the rebellion at a young age. This kid's power was no less than that of many commanders in charge of the army, and even important officials at the level of the governor!

It is true that it is possible to kill Dou Weisi by thunder and then take over the three guards of Fuzhou.

"Yes, the official understands!"

He didn't dare to hesitate any more, Li Zan immediately clasped his fists and said yes.

This is the arrogant and unruly general. If you can't suppress him, you will be arrogant and arrogant.

On the contrary, if you can suppress him tightly, then you will bow your head!

Regarding his experience in commanding the army, Chen Yichen felt that he was almost beyond his political experience. Many times he didn't know whether he was a civil servant or was more suitable to be a military officer.

Maybe this is the inheritance of honor and relatives in the bloodline. Even if it is lost in the genealogy and is unwilling to admit it, it still affects one's nature.

After suppressing Li Zan for the time being, Chen Yichen turned around and sat in the upper position. He came today not to inspect the military camp, but to take over the Fuzhou Navy.

Although Guo Yan did not complete the construction of all the treasure ships in the next fleet, he at least built one-third, or twenty of the most powerful ocean-going warships of this era.

There is a widely circulated saying in the history of world military, called the Ten Year Army and the Centennial Navy.

The reason is that in the era of sailing fleets, there are extremely high requirements for ship control and coordination. Without long-term training, a giant ship may not be able to move in front of you. If you want to build an invincible fleet, many At that time, it even takes several generations of naval heritage to achieve the ability to command the sea ships as if they were armed.

However, after the Ming Dynasty experienced the process of voyage to the West, not only did the construction of the sea ships stagnate, but even the training of the navy fell to a stagnation or even regression. The easiest thing is that the treasure ship had been built, but it did not receive the imperial decree. The sailors from various garrisons were selected to receive training and could only stop in the port in a lonely manner.

On the contrary, the fleet auxiliary ships built by Xu Feng of Changle County also used the edge ball to recruit coastal fishermen and sailors, and mobilized local soldiers from Thousand Houses, which allowed dozens of sea boats to stop at the dock to eat ashes.

Of course, this does not mean that the Fujian Navy has not trained. It is just that compared with the giant ships and cannons of the ocean fleet, the lucky ships, tower ships, Mengchong, Dou Ship, etc. used by the Fujian Navy now are like small ships. Fishing boat!

Giant ships are the standard equipment that the Marine Empire navy should have!

"Li Zan, I know that you were brave and good at fighting, but you were defeated in the nine years of the Japanese invasion of Zhengtong, and since then I have never recovered from the slump."

Chen Yichen originally wanted to use this to open up the topic and cheer up Li Zan's spirit, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, he heard the other party reply angrily: "I'm not defeated!"

Under normal circumstances, Li Zan's behavior would definitely be disrespectful to Shangguan, but Chen Yichen did not mean to punish him at this moment. On the contrary, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Anger often means unwillingness and a desire to prove oneself. In comparison, it is countless times better than being a drunkard lying in the military camp and dreaming of being drunk.

The same thing is said, Chen Yichen doesn’t want a leader.

"In the ninth year of Zhengtong, Japanese pirates attacked from the sea and captured the three counties of Fuqing County, Nan'an County, Anxi County, and Anxi County, as well as Yongning Weicheng, Guanyu Minshu, and the burning and robbing all the people."

"You were the guerrilla general of the Fujian Navy at that time, and you were responsible for defending the territory. You dare to say that you were not defeated!"

Chen Yichen shouted angrily, not giving Li Zan any face, but instead had the attitude of spreading salt in the wound to anger the other party.

Sure enough, when Chen Yichen said this, Li Zan's face turned red in an instant. He also opened his voice and shouted: "I was the guerrilla general of the navy for the ninth year of Zhengtong, but from the first year of Zhengtong, Fujian Water The division has not built a new ship warship for many years."

"Even the establishment of the Wushui Village and Liuyou Guards has been reduced to less than 30%. Fujian's coastline is thousands of miles away. How can people achieve comprehensive prevention with this little bit of people!"

"Don't you dare to use attack as your defense if you can't defend? There are only forty ships in the invading Japanese pirates. Are you afraid of death or are your officers and soldiers afraid of death? Even a group of short winter melons are afraid of the enemy like tigers?"

Chen Yichen's words, fearing death and fearing the enemy, trampled on Li Zan's dignity as a military general, and the blue veins on his neck were now suddenly arose.

"Will I be afraid of those Japanese slaves? If it weren't for the commander Deng An, the coward who had no eggs, ordered not to pursue him, the bloody hatred of hundreds of brothers in Yongning Acropolis would be so regretful to this day?"

"Three years! Do you know how I lived these three years? Whenever I close my eyes, I feel like I see a dead brother asking me when I will avenge them. It's because I didn't go to save my brothers!"

At the end of the day, Li Zan's roar turned into tears.

Not only him, but also many of the Fujian Navy soldiers who were standing outside the tent and hearing this sentence were crying at this moment.

Most of the navy recruited fishermen on the coast of Fujian, especially in places where clan concepts are soaring, many soldiers are more or less related to their relationship.

Zhengtong has been unable to stand firm for nine years, allowing his fellow villagers to be murdered by Japanese pirates, and even watched the Yongning Acropolis robes be captured by the lonely army. From then on, this incident became a thorn in the heart of the Fujian Navy, and even three years have passed, it will never be forgotten. .

Listening to Li Zan's confession, Chen Yichen realized that there was something hidden behind it. It seemed that the southern Ming government in the Ming Dynasty had a consistent concept in the face of the invasion of Japanese pirates.

A hundred years later, the Japanese pirates were really unstoppable. With just a few dozen people, can they sweep across the southern provinces or even attack the city of Nanjing?

The answer is of course impossible. If it were so weak during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no more than the three major expeditions of Wanli. The court defeated the more powerful Japanese army of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which was probably not going to be destroyed long ago.

The fundamental reason why the Japanese pirates in Jiajing were so rampant was that local governments and guards were on the sidelines. Those who really wanted to serve the country and fight against the Japanese suffered various constraints, just like Li Zan was strictly ordered to not attack.

After all, after a small fight, the Japanese pirates will go to harm Zhejiang, Songjiang and other places, and the various casualties and losses suffered by taking the initiative and the high military expenditure will be borne by themselves. It is better to have less than more things.

"Can you forget the hatred of the robe by drinking to relieve your sorrow?"

"This hatred cannot be forgotten until death!"

"If I give a fleet of treasure ships, you can chase and kill vengeful coastal Japanese pirates, or even attack Japan."

"Li Guerrilla, do you dare to fight?"

Suddenly hearing Chen Yichen say this, Li Zan stood there blankly.

The Ming Dynasty had only one fleet, which could be called the treasure ship fleet, which was the same specification of the treasure ship that Zheng He had voyage to the West.

Fuzhou is secretly building a treasure ship, Li Zan knows that he has also longed for leading the brothers of the Shui Master to reappear the grand occasion of following the eunuchs of the Three Treasures to expedition to the world.

But now several years have passed, the treasure ship fleet is still missing, and it has become a suspense whether it can be released under the influence of the turmoil in Fujian.

Even if it can be built, as the admiral of the rebellion, how can Chen Yichen ensure that he can requisition the treasure ship fleet?

"Don't believe it?"

Chen Yichen saw the suspicion and confusion in Li Zan's eyes. He added in a calm tone: "This time I went to Fujian, in addition to admiral military affairs, I also carried out a secret order from His Majesty to supervise the construction of the foreign ships. Before arriving at Xiaocheng Water Village, I had already visited Fuzhou Bao Shipyard and allocated shipbuilding funds for Guo Tongzhi to resume construction in full."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Ming fleet, which once had the Three Treasures and Eunuchs from all over the ocean within two years, will see the light of day again!"

Li Zan may not believe it, but Chen Yichen said that he had received the emperor's secret order, so he dared not doubt this.

After all, no matter how good Chen Yichen is, he cannot risk making a fortune to deceive himself.

"The last wish of the general for the rest of his life is to wipe out the Japanese pirates and avenge the brothers in the robes, and only seek a battle!"

Almost as Li Zan finished speaking, the personal guards outside the tent roared at the same time: "Please fight!"

After holding back this breath for three years, how could the great soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty be humiliated by a group of short Japanese pirates? The hatred that once had to be returned twice!

"Since Li Zhi wants to take revenge, this official will not say secret words. I need absolute loyalty and control of the Fujian Navy."

"If you can avenge this revenge, I will be the life of Admiral Chen."

Li Zan agreed without any hesitation. Compared to his frustrated life, he would rather be loyal to Chen Yichen and die in the sea.
