227 checks and balances
Lin Jianyue treated Ren Yixiang differently from other generals, such as Hao Tianfeng, Tieqinglin, Qu Shangqu, etc., all followed him from his weak step by step. He had different feelings and had a deeper understanding. He could talk about family matters with them and joke about them, but he could not do this to Ren Yixiang.
In the past, Ren Yixiang was a businessman, and the merchant valued profit. It can be seen from how he treated Pu Jinzhong. Those who said that would only make Ren Yixiang feel contemptuous, so Lin Jianyue was first appointed as an official, and then directly talked about major events, and said what he was best at and understood, and he could see further than him, which would naturally make him feel respectful, and the next thing he said would not be so resistant.
Not everyone can be friends with Lin Jianyue. Some people can only be monarchs, ministers, superiors and subordinates.
For example, Ren Yixiang, Lu Jinshan, and Qi Yunji.
The scale of the navy in the future was very large, and it was even the main war force for a long time. The ocean was vast and the potential was huge, and it could not even be monitored. It naturally had the conditions to become a vassal state or an independent kingdom. How could Lin Jianyue delegate all power to Ren Yixiang?
Lin Jianyue did not rush to continue talking, but asked Ren Yixiang to have tea and talked about how to build sea warships, how to distinguish the weather, how to train, how to march, and how to ensure the material of life.
Lin Jianyue really asked for advice. There is only a rough idea in his dream. As for the specific person who is too ordinary to be more ordinary, how could he know these things for a day? Even if he has a gaze that exceeds hundreds or thousands of years.
Ren Yixiang dared not hide his own personal information and said a lot. However, looking at Lin Jianyue's questions, he didn't think that Lin Jianyue would understand everything after hearing it, and he could not remember it, but he didn't know that more than ten people were recording what he said separately in places where he could not see it.
Lin Jianyue didn't think he was despicable. It was not easy to dig out real things from people like Ren Yixiang. With these, even if Ren Yixiang no longer teaches any experience in the future, he can continue to improve himself based on this. Maybe there is only one opportunity.
Seeing that what he wanted to ask was almost the same, Lin Jianyue stopped the topic.
"It's really an eye-opener. It seems that General Ren has found the right person to manage the Navy. Otherwise, if Qu Shangqun and others really go to the sea, let alone war, they probably won't know what happened. General Ren, I'll ask the general to do anything at sea in the future. It's just a common thing to be granted a Duke and a Marquis."
Ren Yixiang knelt down and bowed and said, "I thank you for your respect. I will do my best to assist Your Highness to complete an unprecedented great cause!"
Seeing the generals and senior officials around Lin Jianyue who had not met had yet to be met, Li Ziyang was anxious and didn't know what to do for a moment. Should he continue to wait or leave, and he was afraid that his highness would be unhappy. When he was wandering, a lieutenant of the Pacification Department came over and said to him: "Prince Li Zili asked the tutor to meet and talk to the mansion."
Li Ziyang was a little unhappy. Now he is not the one who was just Li Ziyang who always had a support position around Li Zili. He has been a senior official for so many years and his parents of millions of people are no longer comparable.
He immediately said with a deep face, "Your Highness will meet me later, and I will go to see my elder brother again in the evening."
The captain didn't care, but just smiled and said, "Your Highness has ordered you to drink and talk to General Ren Yixiang today. There are many major issues to be said. Maybe when will your Highness be? Tomorrow, your Highness will arrange special time to talk to the pacifier. The pacifier can go back first."
Li Ziyang originally thought he could express his merits to Lin Jianyue, but he controlled how good he was to control Dinghai Army or Huaidong Road. As a result, Lin Jianyue met Ren Yixiang first and took it so seriously, which made him feel very uncomfortable. When he thought of Ren Shuang, a woman, who was still not allowed to touch her, was even more angry. Does she still want to climb up? Be her dream of spring and autumn! Li Ziyang's anger even extended to Ren Yixiang.
Li Ziyang left with his sleeves. The eldest brother was the clear heir of the Li family. He had to go and see him. He was not yet separated and independent.
Li Ziyang didn't know that Lin Jianyue was already a little dissatisfied with him. He didn't think so, but he didn't manage Yangzhou, an already prosperous place, so he didn't cooperate with the canal dredging task arranged by Liu Bingyun, and often sang a few opposites. How could Lin Jianyue allow him to hurt the authority of the core of the Yan Prince's Mansion? It's just that he had a lot of contact with Li Ziyang and had a good relationship, so he wrote a letter to ask Li Zili to cross the river to talk to him. Lin Jianyue was unwilling to hurt his close relationship with the Li family for this matter, and he didn't even tell Li Boyu, otherwise Li Ziyang wouldn't be so relaxed.
The conversation between Lin Jianyue and Ren Yixiang is still continuing. This is one of his main purposes for coming to Yangzhou. What he wants to talk about next is the question of how the navy will go in the future.
"General Ren, I plan to select some command-level officers of the Navy to form a Navy Academy on Liangzhe Road to form a Navy Academy to teach the various naval forces to transform into navy. I am the chief of the mountain, and I hope General Ren will support it!"
Lin Jianyue has become the leader of the mountain, so how dare Ren Yixiang not support him?
"I don't understand how to fight at sea, but General Ren is a great expert, so General Ren will serve as deputy director and chief in the academy. In the future, the navy will be the most important military force of the empire. I believe that General Ren's name will be passed down through the ages in the future."
Is it necessary to remove my military power? Ren Yixiang had not thought about how to answer, and Lin Jianyue continued: "But General Ren doesn't have to worry. He still has to wait until the war is over before troubleizing the general. This is a list of officials at all levels transferred to Liangzhe Road in advance. They should go to the bottom first, build ships and talk about some rough things. Building a Royal Navy is a long-term thing. Now the Ding Navy cannot leave General Ren's command."
Ren Yixiang breathed a sigh of relief at first, then he felt nervous. It seemed that His Highness of Yan had already planned and even chose the people. It can be seen that he had known the Ding Navy with all his knowledge and had penetrated deeply. The Yan Palace attached so much importance to the Ding Navy, which was completely different from Pu Jinzhong. Ren Yixiang knew that his desire to control the navy's power for a long time could not be realized, let alone the next steps of establishing a vassal state overseas.
Once the Naval Academy was established, all the naval generals who came out of the academy, including those who were transferred to teach now, will be His Highness or the disciples of the Emperor. They are full of the navy. How could these people completely listen to him in the future? What can you give to His Highness whom you can give to them? What can you give to him? What can you give to him, not to mention that the thousand-year inheritance of loyalty to the emperor is deeply rooted in his thousand-year history. What can he do as a general who is a businessman?
The trick of establishing an academy was directly at the critical point and could not resist at all. Even if the Ding Navy could still listen to his greetings, the other naval forces formed through the academy were larger in scale, so how dare I disobey? It seems that I should be honest and loyal to Your Highness. If it is not good, my family will be destroyed. Ren Yixiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The Ning Dynasty was cowardly, mainly because it was afraid that the separatist rule of the vassal states threatened the imperial power, and the uncontrollable emphasis on culture and over military power, which led to the low combat power of the imperial army. Without the threat of foreign races, it would naturally guarantee the imperial power well. Unfortunately, since the establishment of the Ning Dynasty, it has not stopped. The Khitans, Jurchens and the Menghu people today, the Ning Dynasty was retreating step by step, which was the biggest heart disease of the monarchs in history, and it had never become famous. If it weren't for the strong resilience of the Han people and culture, countless heroes who had been in succession in history, would have perished long ago.
Lin Jianyue knew history, so he naturally would not do this. He also knew how he did it in the future. Everything else was easy to say, but military power must be in his own hands.
Establishing the Royal Naval Academy is only the first step, and it is the most urgent at present. There will be various Royal Army Academy in the future. The purpose is to turn all the leading generals into people who are loyal to the nation, the empire, and the royal family. In this process, as long as you have ideas, countless people will naturally come up with ideas to help him brainwash these people.
