In the Duke Protector's Mansion, Zhang Yanling, Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi were sitting in the front hall.
Zhang Yanling also held a piece of paper with the contents of the edict written on it in his hand. He read it carefully for a long time and slowly placed it on the table.
Zhang Yin, Chen Shi and others looked at Zhang Yanling, who had a strange look on her face.
"My lord, the emperor has really issued this edict to punish himself. It seems that he really wants to do something and work hard to achieve something. My lord's teachings have really worked." Zhang Yin said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are using too much force. You can issue an edict to punish yourself. You can work hard and do something if you want to. But why bother to set so many rules for yourself? The Emperor's temperament is to jump around.
To get rid of impetuousness, we need to slowly settle down and grind.
Refining. Why go to court every morning, have sutra banquets and lectures every day, and move to Wenyuan Pavilion without banquets or entertainment. Why is this necessary? He can't persist. Within a few days at most, he will be restless and uncomfortable.
, but it will affect your mood. It doesn’t have to be like this.”

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Isn't it? There is no need to put a hoop on yourself. Your attitude is established when you arrive. Not to mention going to court every day, going to court once in three days is already diligent. The emperor used to have banquets and joy every day.
After staying in the palace for several months, I still want to run away. I am afraid that I will not be able to endure the life of moving to Wenyuan Pavilion and living as an ascetic every day."
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "This edict must have been written by the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. The emperor does have the intention to change, but he was tricked by the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. Hey, if you can't persist in this for a few days,
Don’t you want to make people laugh?”
Zhang Yin and Chen Shi all thought: It turns out that the emperor was tricked by the foreign court again. The emperor drafted the imperial edict, which was originally the job of the cabinet, but the emperor definitely did not want to have the imperial edict copied by the cabinet, and he could not write it well.
So you can only find bachelors from the Hanlin Academy or those who serve as lecturers.
Come to help. Little did they know that these people were civil servants, so they would naturally bring in private goods. Maybe it was Yang Ting and them who ordered it. The emperor was so excited that he promulgated it without thinking about whether he could do it. This is good, he can do it himself.
I've set myself up for a trap.
Zhang Yanling said: "That's all, it's not a big deal. In a few days, I and some of the princes will come up with a plan to invite the emperor to return to Qianqing Palace. Morning court meetings don't have to be too frequent. The banquet is only once every ten days. The reason is also very simple. Your Majesty.
If you work too hard, you will damage the dragon's body. The health of the emperor's dragon body is the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty. So you can't work too hard. The emperor can just follow the flow and go down the steps. This kind of thing is not a big trouble."
Zhang Yin, Chen Shi and others nodded repeatedly. It was the Duke who knew how to adapt. No one would object to this reason, and he solved the problem for the emperor. This is the wisdom in doing things.
Zhang Yin, Chen Shiyi and others came today to discuss the establishment of the navy governor's office and the selection and training of navy soldiers. The five thousand soldiers and horses that have been selected are undergoing training. Zhang Yin has decided to take a month
Afterwards, he led his army to sea and headed for Manchuria. These five thousand soldiers and horses will also become the main force of the overseas garrison, replacing the nearly two thousand men still overseas.
"Let's talk about the matter at hand. Mr. Zhang, what are your plans for the deployment of troops, horses and warships?" Zhang Yanling changed the topic to the matter at hand.
Zhang Yin said hurriedly: "My lord, please don't call me a low-ranking lord, or you won't hurt me."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "How can such an upright Mr. Hou be embarrassed? This is a risk of life."
"That's right. The serious military merits of the marquis are more genuine than those of the marquises in the regiment. If I had known this, I should have rushed back with you to put down the rebellion." Chen Shi said with a smile.

Zhang Yin said: "Brother Chen, I am really ashamed. You followed the father-in-law to protect him, so it was difficult to have a chance to fight alone. In fact, you are the one who should be rewarded. I feel very uneasy."
Chen Shiyi laughed and said: "I was just joking. Why did you take it seriously? We brothers have known each other for many years, and I am still jealous of you? I am so happy that you made me a marquis. Don't forget, I
He is also an earl. I am an ordinary citizen, and I am very satisfied today. But please don’t talk nonsense.”
Zhang Yanling listened to their conversation and said with a smile: "Chen Shiyi has a new important appointment. How could I forget Brother Chen's contribution? I originally wanted to give Chen Shiyi a surprise, but you two are so pretentious,
If it makes me embarrassed, I will reveal it in advance."
Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi both looked at Zhang Yanling in surprise. Zhang Yin said: "My lord, what official position does brother Chen want to be promoted to?"
Chen Shiyi shouted: "My lord, please tell me first that if you leave your lord, I won't do it. I have to be by your side."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "You have a good idea and want to leave my hand, but you haven't done it yet. Zhang Yin is going overseas, Wang Hong, Liu Tan and others have all gone overseas to work alone. If you leave again, won't I become a bare man?"
You can never escape from my grasp."
Chen Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's a good relationship. Master, what kind of official are you then?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Tongzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Navy Commander's Office, and the admiral of a battalion of the navy. Are you satisfied?"
Chen Shiyi was stunned and stunned.
The Navy Commander's Office is about to be established, and the post of governor is Zhang Yanling. It is not yet known what level of government the Navy Commander's Office is, but Zhang Yanling is appointed as the governor of the Navy Commander's Office as the deputy governor of the regiment camp, which means that the Navy Commander's Office should be a higher-level government office than the regiment camp.
Or the military office one level below the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

However, there is a high probability that the fifth battalion of the Navy, commanded by the Navy Dudu Mansion Yamen, does not belong to other military Yamen. It is very likely that it is a new first-level military Yamen. It is not now, but it will definitely be in the future.
The governor-general is the deputy to the governor. In terms of status, he has surpassed the position of the admiral of the first battalion. This is a huge promotion.
"Thank you so much, Master!" Chen Shi grinned so much that his ears went behind his ears. He stood up and knelt down to kowtow.
Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, you deserve it. I will draw up the appointment list and submit it in two days. As for the navy, I still mean what I say. There are also appointments for some other people. When the overseas soldiers and horses come back, those brothers
We all have to become the backbone of the navy. Everyone is good. How can I treat the people who work hard with me badly?"
Zhang Yin nodded repeatedly, cupped his hands to Chen Shiyi and said, "Brother Chen, congratulations."
Chen Shiyi said: "You and I are where we are today because of my father-in-law's support. We must always remember this."
Zhang Yin nodded and said: "That goes without saying. Without the father-in-law, you and I would have rotted away in Nanzhen Fusi."
Chen Shiyi sighed: "Exactly, I might have died drunk on the street."
Zhang Yanling waved his hands and said, "Brother, you don't have to keep saying this. I don't like to hear people flatter you in person. Zhang Yin, let's get down to business."
Zhang Yin and Chen Shi laughed. Zhang Yin cupped his hands and said: "Master Qi, my idea is to use Manlajia as the fulcrum, Kulumbo as the advance port, and Goa and Guri Port as the key defense ports.
Good alert patrols and escorts merchant ships and port operations."

Zhang Yanling nodded: "Very good. This time when you go to sea, in addition to the Star, three armored warships and two supply ships will join the fleet. In this way, the number of armored ships in the Armada can be restored to eight warships and five supply ships.
Ship. After the arrival of the five thousand navy, it will basically reach the force we had before our expedition. The main force can be deployed in Goa Port, mainly to monitor the movements from the Flanji country. Two to three ships will be dispatched to patrol the trade channels on a daily basis to prevent the sea.
Just be a bandit."
Zhang Yin nodded and said: "I understand."
Zhang Yanling said: "I know that the number of warships is still insufficient, but you can rest assured that the armored warships will continue to be built. My goal is for the Armada to have twenty-five ironclad warships and ten supply ships. In this way, there will be sufficient warships overseas.
Domestic only needs to stay
Five or six ships will suffice. The rest can be deployed in overseas ports. After the naval recruitment is completed and the soldiers are trained, the overseas garrison will increase to 10,000 people. Coupled with the manpower recruited locally, it will not be stretched and can cope with the situation.
All unexpected circumstances.”
Zhang Yin said happily: "That's great. This will give people of low rank the confidence to do so."
Zhang Yanling said: "Thank you for your hard work. You and Wang Hong, Liu Tan and the others will be stationed overseas for a long time. Hey, we can't drink together anytime."
Zhang Yin also sighed and said: "Yes, but we can come back to see the father-in-law when we have time, and the father-in-law can also visit us. We can still meet, but the times will be less."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said, "When do you plan to go on the expedition?"
Zhang Yin said: "The five thousand sailors recruited before are still training. I estimate that it will take at least a month to complete. I want to set off in a month. I will take this opportunity to arrange family affairs and visit relatives and friends. It will be very easy after that.
It’s hard to see each other.”
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Then we will set off for the expedition in a month. We happened to be traveling with a group of merchant ships. Several commercial houses in Nanjing were purchasing goods and preparing to go out to sea for trade. We just happened to form a formation to escort them. It also happened to solve the problem that five thousand soldiers and horses could not be transported together.
The merchant fleet can take part of it, killing two birds with one stone."
Zhang Yin nodded in agreement.

After talking for a while, seeing the sun setting in the west and getting dark, Zhang Yin and Chen Shi stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Yanling got up and sent them out to get on their horses and leave. When they left the alley, Chen Shiyi suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot to report something to the father-in-law. Brother Zhang Yin, you go first. I have to tell the father-in-law something."
Words."
Zhang Yin nodded in agreement and left on his own. Zhang Yin knew that there were some things that he did not need to be present. Chen Shiyi obviously did not forget to report the matter, but that there were some things that he did not need to know.
Chen Shi turned his horse's head around, dismounted and entered the Duke's Mansion. Zhang Yanling was about to go to the back house. When he saw Chen Shi leaving and returning, he asked, "What? Do you want to stay and drink?"
Chen Shiyi smiled and said, "Of course I do, but Huayi has prepared wine and food for me tonight. Her parents-in-law and sister-in-law are coming today, so I have to go with her. Otherwise, she will have to ignore me for a few days."
Zhang Yanling laughed loudly and said: "You can't neglect it. Do you have something to report?"
Chen Shiyi said: "Exactly. It's about the singing prostitute named Zhang Xiaowan. A few days ago, the father-in-law asked Beizhi to investigate, and Beizhi sent people to keep an eye on it for several days. It was reported not long ago that there was a major discovery.
Lord, report."
Zhang Yanling was stunned and said: "Oh? I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. What? Is there any major discovery?"
