"Your Majesty, my subordinates are all from poor backgrounds. For example, Zhao Yuelong and Ye Yunwu were both pirates and took money seriously. However, they were good at fighting. In short, I did not restrain my subordinates and violated military discipline. I am willing to receive punishment." Lin Cha bowed and apologized.

When Zhu Youlang heard that he was trying to excuse his subordinates, he felt angry.

However, as soon as he won the battle, he was seriously involved in his subordinates, which was a bit inappropriate.

He also knew that the old habits of the old army were difficult to change, but they had to change them even if they were difficult to change. Otherwise, if these habits were passed on, his idea of ​​building a strong navy would be vain.

"Mingwei, I won't talk about this in advance. You sit down and I will tell you about the naval army development."

Zhu Youlang gently dispelled the violation of military discipline and wanted to do Lin Cha's ideological work first. If he, the chief of the navy officer, cannot correctly understand, then military discipline will be difficult to deal with.

"Mingwei, I have always wanted to build a powerful naval army, not only to significantly increase the number of troops, but also to greatly improve the quality of ships on weapons and equipment. The purpose of establishing a powerful naval army is, of course, to win the war with the Qing court, and to conduct overseas trade, sea investigation, etc.."

...

"In short, the navy will be the top priority of our army's construction. In the future, our navy will not only dominate all inland rivers such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but also conquer the vast ocean!"

Zhu Youlang painted a grand blueprint and finally said generously.

Lin Cha's eyes lit up and his blood was hot when he heard this.

As the leader of the navy, Lin Cha naturally also had his own dream of a powerful navy, dominating the inland rivers and conquering the ocean. Such a goal was also a dream he had longed for day and night.

"But Mingwei, the realization of this dream is not so easy. Of course you know that a large ship with a thousand materials is rare in our navy. The ability to transport troops and resist wind and waves is still too poor. How can such a fleet do? So, in the future, we will build larger ships, two thousand materials, three thousand materials, or even five thousand materials!"

A big ship of five thousand materials? Lin Cha swallowed and spitted.

That was a giant ship. The giant ship that Zheng He traveled to the West was a big ship of five thousand materials.

That's a lot of money!

Lin Cha looked up at Zhu Youlang, but saw that the emperor was also looking at him.

He understood.

"Your Majesty, I know I am wrong. When I go back, I will rectify the military discipline immediately." Lin Cha said.

"Okay, that's right. An army without souls cannot win a battle. The soul of our army is to liberate the people. By the same token, an army that is tempted by money is even more impossible to win a battle. For those who cannot strictly abide by military discipline, first instruct. If they can correct it, there is no great thing. If they don't change it after repeated instruction, they must be severely punished!" Zhu Youlang said.

"I have received my teachings." Lin Cha said sincerely.

"Well, you have made meritorious service. I originally wanted to grant you a title, but your army did not uphold military discipline and should have been punished. I think it was a first offense, so I will not be rewarded or punished."

"My merit is not enough to reward my titles, but my faults should be severely punished. I thank the emperor for his impunity." Lin Cha said sourly.

...

Lin Cha came out of Zhu Youlang's tent, both excited and a little annoyed. What was excited was that his dream of a strong army was finally realized. What was annoyed was that because of Zhao Yuelong and Ye Yunwu's greed for money, his count was lost!

"These two guys! I have to teach you a lesson. I actually used some clothes and weapons to fool the emperor. Is the emperor easy to fool? This is the first offense, and I lost my title. If I commit it again, I am afraid that the emperor's knife will come."

Lin Cha shivered again when he thought of the emperor's cleverness!

...

A hearty victory made the people of Guangzhou breathe a sigh of relief!

Since December 25 last year, I have been worried for a long time and finally let it go. I no longer have to worry about being portrayed as a devilish Qing soldiers slaughtered the city, no longer have to worry about being humiliated by his wife and daughter, no longer have to worry about being robbed of family wealth, no longer have to worry about shaving and leaving braids.

For a moment, the streets and alleys in Guangzhou were filled with crowds, and people ran around to celebrate the victory.

As for the emperor who had changed from Emperor Shaowu to Emperor Yongli, the people did not care at all. As long as their lives and property were protected, who would be the emperor? What's more, Emperor Yongli was the most popular Guangdong people's hearts and Emperor Longwu personally chose the throne. Originally, the throne should have been his.

Another month later, the news of Li Chengdong's recovery of Fujian reached Guangzhou, and the people were even more happy. Now, the threat from the east and west sides of Guangzhou was finally lifted, and we can live a safe and stable life in the future.

...

February 2nd, Chen is on the right track.

In a small restaurant called "Longkanci" in Guangzhou City, people were crowded with breakfast. The owner Wei Duo's face was shining with excitement and kept greeting guests whom he knew.

"Oh, Mr. Huang, are you here? Come in quickly." An old man in a robe walked into the store, and Wei Duo hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Xiao Wei, the business is good." Mr. Huang said with a smile.

"Thank Emperor Hong Fu, this business is getting better and better every day." Wei Duo led Mr. Huang to a table, asked him to sit down, and asked while wiping the table, "Did you have not come some days, or is it the same rule?"

"Yes, the old rules are sweet." Mr. Huang replied.

Longkan glutinous rice cakes are divided into two types: salty and sweet. Generally, northerners like to eat salty, while southerners like to eat sweet.

"Okay, you wait and come soon."

Wei Duo agreed and turned around, and brought a plate of Long Kanji rice dumplings over after a while.

"Wei Duo, you look like flowers blooming on your happy face. You have made a lot of money these days, right?" Mr. Huang asked casually while eating.

Wei Duo knew and replied: "Master Huang, making money is second. The key is that the emperor's new policy is good. I have no hope in my life. My grandson has the hope of becoming a scholar. You said, can I be unhappy?"

"But, you have paid a lot of taxes more than before." Mr. Huang was a little unhappy when he heard Wei Duo's words, and frowned slightly and said.

"Haha, Mr. Huang, you are wrong. It used to be thirty tax one, but now it is 10 tax one. It seems to be paid more than before, but in fact it is not paid more."

"Why?"
