: Using poetry to clarify one's ambitions, and getting promoted by two ranks

"It's natural. I'll approve it for you and pick up a set of supplies from the Jiangnan Military Headquarters."

Zhang Songyue nodded when he heard about the army's food and salary.

This is all within the plan of the monarch and his ministers, so he can naturally agree to it.

Otherwise, they will not even be provided with food and pay for the military, and they will become completely private soldiers.

But Zhang Songyue changed the subject and warned again:

"But there is only food but no wages. The wages and silver are just the 20,000 taels. For the rest, you can ask the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to donate some."

The implication is that you have clothes to wear and food to eat.

But no fixed salary is given.

Even so, Zhang Songyue added:

"The new army should not be well organized and trained, so as not to waste people and money."

Is this too much?

No wonder the Japanese pirates are so difficult to suppress. No one can suppress them!

If you don’t give money, who will sacrifice your life?

At this moment, Feng Yibo even doubted whether Zhao Wensong was unjustly accused?

Could it be that he wanted to get money first to train troops and suppress Japanese invaders?

Otherwise, why would he be chasing money like a fool?

You have a life to take such money, but you have no life to spend it?

This thought lasted only a moment.

The next second.

Feng Yibo was thinking about what else he could order.

He first asked tentatively: "Is it okay to train ten thousand people first?"

"Three thousand first!" Zhang Songyue decided directly.

Afraid that Feng Yibo would be dissatisfied, he started to draw big cakes again.

"If we win two games, it won't be too late to expand."

"Okay! Then there will be three thousand soldiers! I will appoint and remove the officers in the camp."

Regular soldiers are the main combat troops.

Three thousand regular soldiers is not a small number.

Including auxiliary troops, there are at least four to five thousand people.

Even tens of thousands are not impossible.

Of course, Feng Yibo must have a policy of elite troops.

Do not engage in human wave tactics.

Moreover, the three thousand regular soldiers were just an ambush he set up.

The latter right to appoint and remove officers was what he wanted most.

It's a pity that Zhang Songyue saw through this little thought easily.

He shook his head and said expressionlessly:

"Officer, you should still transfer people to the various camps in the south of the Yangtze River. You can't find people who have never led soldiers, right?"

Feng Yibo was a little unwilling and argued again:

"Then it's okay to use something that doesn't have any real flaws, right?"

"Can."

Zhang Songyue nodded without thinking much.

This answer was finally within Feng Yibo's acceptance range.

But he nodded and made a new request.

"The navy also needs to listen to my orders, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the Japanese pirates!"

"This can be discussed. The cabinet will issue a note to the Nanjing Ministry of War and let them handle it as appropriate."

"..."

In this way, the two of them went back and forth.

They all try their best to deal with it within their own limited scope.

Finally, all the conditions were finally negotiated.

Zhang Songyue and Emperor Jingshun nodded, signaling the end.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Jingshun said: "Editor Feng, besides these, do you have anything else to say?"

Feng Yibo had negotiated all the conditions and was quite satisfied.

Hearing this, he raised his hands to Danbi and said, "Before I leave, I would like to recite a poem to express my ambition!"

"allow!"

Emperor Jingshun breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was really the end of the conversation.

Feng Yibo took a few steps and took a good posture.

He held his head high and said loudly: "The capital city rests peacefully for the time being, my worries are in Japan."

This sentence is the beginning of the chapter.

He said that although he was safe and sound in the capital, he was worried about Japanese pirates all the time.

There were many civil servants in the DPRK, and many of them were shaking their heads.

Without him, it's too straightforward.

"Come and greet the guests with bottles of wine, and sit down and talk about war with us."

This sentence means that even when drinking with friends, one does not forget to talk about military affairs.

I thought that one day I could lead troops to defeat Japanese pirates.

It's slightly better than the previous sentence.

At least there are no metrical flaws.

"The clouds protect toothpicks, and the stars contain swords."

This sentence has a nice image.

It was dark and the books were filled with bookmarks.

Under the starry sky, he did not forget to touch the sword lying on the table.

This means that while he worked hard at studying, he never slacked off in his military and military skills.

Although that is a bit exaggerated.

But "literary men can bring order to the world with their pens, and men of force can use their horses to regulate the world."

It has always been the ultimate romance for readers!

The princes in the court only thought that this sentence was not bad.

Putting the three sentences together, it barely passes the test.

At least I have pretty much stated my ambition.

But what they didn't expect was...

Next sentence.

Immediately raise the tone of the entire poem by several levels!

The highest is Danbi, the middle is the princes, and the lowest is the civil and military officials.

Even palace servants, guards, etc. who are fluent in writing or illiterate.

Everyone is moved by it!

Just because I heard Feng Yibo recite the last sentence in a deep voice!

"It is not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis, but I only hope that the sea will be peaceful!"

This is a poem written by Qi Jiguang, which was slightly modified by Feng Yibo.

I used this to express my worries about being in the capital and worrying about the coast south of the Yangtze River.

Determination to get rid of Japanese pirates,
To be continued...
