Chapter 663
After the bridal chamber, Zheng Yan'er seemed to give up completely. In addition to serving Li You, she often went to Zhou Nan to greet her. The more she contacted her, the more she became more respectful to Li You and Zhou Nan.
Li You was in a high position at a young age, and made countless contributions, appearance, and family background. She was the best choice. She was able to compare the poor and sour talents in the novels she had read before. Moreover, his literary talent was extraordinary. Although he did not like to recite poems and lyrics very much, he could only speak up as a masterpiece that was famous throughout the ages. After occasionally hearing this once or twice, Zheng Yan'er was completely in love with him. When she thought of the talents who had been obsessed with the novels in the novels in the past, she felt ashamed and felt a fever on her face. Why did she feel confused at the beginning? She actually regarded these sour tinders as great characters? Compared with Li You, they were like clouds.
Zhou Nan was generous and had no intention of targeting her on weekdays. She treated her like a sister. Every time she saw Zhou Nan, she was fascinated by the other party's elegant temperament of a scholarly family. Especially when Zhou Nan occasionally painted, Zheng Yan'er would always grind ink for him while looking at the flowers and bird characters in her pen that seemed to jump out of paper. Thinking about herself, she seemed to be useless compared to Zhou Nan.
However, after Zheng Yan'er personally cooked and prepared Jiangnan Dongdao's specialty food for Li You and Zhou Nan and received their unanimous praise, Zheng Yan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was still useful. This time she became more and more keen on learning cooking skills, completely putting the unrealistic fantasies of the past aside, and the relationship between the few people became more and more harmonious.
When Zheng Feihuang's wife came to visit Zheng Yan's son, she saw that she not only looked much better, but her smile on her face became brighter. She couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly sent someone to deliver the news to Zheng Feihuang who was far away in Huainan Road. Zheng Feihuang felt a little guilty about sending her daughter to Li You's mansion. Now seeing her life so happy, she also let go of many grudges in her heart and worked harder to work in her new position. With his efforts, the maritime trade in Huainan Road became more and more prosperous.
The prosperous trade can bring a lot of taxes, and these taxes can help Qian Hua expand the scale of the navy. He found a suitable place near Qiantang to establish a shipyard. Gu Jiangzi personally brought his disciples to Qiantang to take charge of the overall situation. In addition, Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng, Yan Zhenquan and others also took out the shipbuilding craftsmen whom they regarded as treasures, and asked them to join the shipyard to help Gu Jiangzi build the various ships needed by the navy.
With these skilled and experienced old craftsmen, the construction speed of the second batch of treasure ships has been greatly improved; not only that, Zheng Feihuang and his team also transported a lot of materials needed for shipbuilding, such as large wood that had been dried for several years, good tung oil, fiber materials needed to make sailing cables, etc.
Zheng Feihuang and the others have been around the world for many years, and the inventory they have in their hands is undoubtedly the best in the world. With this batch of supplies and those skilled craftsmen, Gu Jiangzi is confident that he can build a more excellent warship than the previous batch.
Of course, Zheng Feihuang and his team did this. After the warship was built, the shipyard would also create large ships slightly lower than one or two levels to sell them as merchant ships. With these large ships with faster speeds, higher cargo capacity and stronger hulls, the scale of their businesses will expand again.
When the first batch of treasure ships arrived at Jiangnan East Road, no one complained about Zheng Feihuang and others' surrender that day. It would be worth it to be able to get such a good ship, no matter how much it cost.
In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Jiangnan East Navy who surrendered to Li You in the past were also properly handled. Zheng Feicai had long been attracted by the powerful treasure ships and warships, and he had to join the navy anyway. The other officers and soldiers also had the same idea as him. Of course, Qian Hua could not get so many experienced captains and sailors, so he accepted them all, disrupted their organization and put them into the recruit camp for strict training.
After many days of training, they wiped out all the bad habits of their past, and also broke up their inherent relationships, and gradually integrated into the Jiazhou Army system. After completing the training, these people were reorganized with the original Jiazhou Navy. These people were no longer the private troops at the sea in the past, but the Jiazhou Navy under the jurisdiction of Li You.
When the news came back to Jiazhou, Li You looked at the map on the wall alone in his study, while thinking about the purpose of this navy. Now the Beilu of Gyeonggi Province and Yuan Zhang of Henan Province attacked Luo Shiji and Qin Shixin in Dugi Province became more and more fierce. The pressure on them was getting stronger and stronger. Now that this navy has formed combat power, can we send them to reduce the pressure on Luo Shiji and Qin Shixin a little?
Well, the navy can take the army of land warfare, set off from Qiantang, head north along the coast to Henan Road, swim up from Daheshuo and enter the interior of Henan Road, and then suddenly launch an attack! Now Yuan Zhang put the center of the troops in Henan Road to several prefectures and counties near Duji and Huainan Road, and the rear is relatively empty, so this move will surely achieve unexpected gains.
At the same time, I can also lead the recently trained army to Gyeonggi Province to assist Qin Shixin, and work with him to completely annihilate the northern enemy who went south, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue the capital in one fell swoop! As for Yuan Zhang from Henan Province, I am afraid he has been in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides and back and unable to support him. Xu Shiyong could not cause any trouble for Li You at all.
Tomorrow, I will discuss with Sima Cuo, Yao Guangxiao and the others to see if there are any details to add, and then I can ask the General Staff to formulate a plan. After some thought, Li You made a decision and was about to go back to the room to rest, when suddenly the tiger talisman in his arms exuded a sense of enthusiasm.
Is there a mission again? Li You just came up with an idea, and the voice of the tiger talisman sounded in his ears, "The mission is on, the host, please be prepared to enter the mission world. The time to enter this time is the third year of Zhidao of the Song Dynasty."
Why is it the Song Dynasty again? Li You couldn't help but feel a little sad. Can't these Zhao family fight for some excitement? They helped them solve the Mongols and Jurchens one after another. What enemy do they have to deal with this time? Could it be the Khitans or Dangxiang people?
When was the third year of Zhidao in the Song Dynasty? This seemed to be the last year of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and it was also the time when Emperor Zhenzong of Song ascended the throne. What major wars were there at this time?
