Chapter 147 Retreat (recommendation for An Qianling)
After Huang Bingyue arrived, Du Yanghong invited Zhao Ran to come to the meeting hall of Lingxu Pavilion to discuss the matter. Zhao Ran said: "How about we stay here? Let's miss Mr. Guangcheng and learn from his spirit while chatting casually. Let's discuss the matter.
The church seems a little too solemn, as if we are just doing some small tricks in private. Today is a retreat, exchanging opinions, nothing more. What do you two think?"
Du Yanghong smiled and said: "Okay, let's take a retreat. I have fine wine here, so I can have a few drinks on the way."
After the drinks and fruits were served, the three true masters sat down in the pine pavilion in front of Mr. Guangcheng's hall, exchanged a few words, and then Zhao Ran got down to business.
"In the first year of Longqing, when I was the abbot of Jimingguan, in order to ensure the joint meeting's management of overseas affairs, I initiated the establishment of an inspection fleet. The initial motivation of the inspection fleet was to inspect smuggling, and to deal with smugglers who did not apply for sea trade licenses as required.
The maritime merchants conducted an investigation. Both of them knew what happened next. After three years of battle, the inspection fleet grew from scratch, from small to large, and effectively controlled the East China Sea and the South China Sea. At the same time, it headed westward.
, protect the Ming Dynasty’s maritime interests and spread the Taoist faith.”
Du Yanghong and Huang Bingyue knew the development of the inspection fleet well. Although Lei Xiaoge did not care about the inspection fleet, Du Xingyan and Lu Xixing were the core generals in the navy. One was in charge of the Marine Corps and the other was in charge of the Nanyang Fleet. They both said: "
This is Zhiran’s credit!”
Zhao Ran said humbly: "I am just the first. The development of the inspection fleet to this day is inseparable from the support of the two of you. Because of this, last year, I suggested that the joint meeting change the name of the inspection fleet to the Daming Daomen Navy.
We are considering the issue of the transfer of military power. After all, the Joint Conference is an organization that presides over overseas general affairs. If it is responsible for the navy, it is not justified."
Du Yanghong and Huang Bingyue both nodded. When the fleet was renamed last year, Zhao Ran's thoughts were already felt inside the Leixiao Pavilion. At that time, there was a lot of joy in the pavilion, and everyone was eagerly waiting for Zhao Ran's official handover. Today,
Zhao Ran finally talked about this issue, which made Du Yanghong and Huang Bingyue very happy.
Zhao Ran added: "After the handover to Leixiao Pavilion, what do you think of the navy's command system?"
This is Zhao Ran's hope. Since he reorganized the naval command system last year, it shows that he hopes to maintain this system. Du Yanghong and Huang Bingyue immediately said that the navy has its own naval tradition, which is reflected in its unique
The combat methods are also reflected in the twenty-year history of the establishment of the army. Practice has proved that this system is adapted to the requirements of current naval warfare. Lei Xiaoge will try its best to keep the basic framework of this system unchanged.
Huang Bingyue even said that based on the principle of land and sea balance, Lei Xiaoge is also planning to prepare a land warfare system, merging various previously scattered land warfare command systems and forming an army headquarters that corresponds to the navy headquarters. Zhao Ran expressed his opinions on this
The idea expresses support.
After the general framework was established, Zhao Ran also described the positioning of responsibilities of the two governors of the navy and the army under the new system, and proposed a candidate for the governor of the navy, that is, the newly promoted real person Lan Daoxing. For Lei Xiao Pavilion, this
These are all trivial issues. The most important thing is to take back the navy as soon as possible. The two masters immediately said that Lan Daoxing was more suitable for the role of navy governor and they would consider it carefully.
Next, Zhao Ran will hand over the navy, and the two real masters in Leixiao Pavilion will put forward suggestions for the establishment of an army headquarters during the discussions in the real master hall. These are all matters that will follow and are not part of the retreat.
Just when Du Yanghong and Lu Xixing thought that the main topic had been completed, Zhao Ran inserted another topic.
"A few days ago, I received news from Master Wu Tian that Dongfang Li's negotiations in Xingqing are about to come to fruition."
Du Yanghong said: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhao Ran said: "Sanqing Pavilion plans to sign an agreement with Tianlongyuan Golden Needle Hall to accept Tianlongyuan's donation of one billion Luo, um, that is, 100 million Gui credit, and at the same time invite Jinzhen Hall Shenxiu to enter the chaotic fairyland to see what's going on."
This news was very shocking. Du Yanghong and Huang Bingyue immediately understood that this was Zhao Ran bragging for Sanqing Pavilion. If the opposition was too fierce, Sanqing Pavilion would not sign the agreement. If the true masters could
If accepted, Sanqing Pavilion will formally submit it at Zhenshi Hall.
As a gathering place for the hawks in the True Master Hall, the Leixiao Pavilion must be passed. The fleet issue just discussed is actually just an appetizer. This is the most important matter of today's "retreat".
Du Yanghong and Huang Bingyue looked at each other and stopped talking. Zhao Ran stopped talking and just drank and let them think.
Du Yanghong is the Zhenshi Celestial Master, a descendant of Du Guangting, Mr. Guangcheng. The Du family has been the banner of Taoism to destroy Buddhism for hundreds of years; Huang Bingyue is Xu Yun'ao's disciple. When Xu Yun'ao presided over the Zhenshi Hall, he took it as his mission to conquer the Western Buddhist country.
.Today, it was suddenly said that Buddhist eminent monks were invited to enter the Immortal World of Chaos. What kind of trouble was this?
This is Zhao Ran. If anyone else, such as Wu Yunqing and Yu Daochun, came over, they would probably overturn the table. But Zhao Ran is different. He is the discoverer and the one who opened the door to the Chaos Immortal Realm. He is also a respected preacher in the world.
Zongmen Pavilion is also a family friend of Helin Pavilion. Zhao Ran single-handedly took care of Huang Bingyue's rise to power. Zhao Ran also took good care of Lingxu Pavilion. Du Yangchen, Du Xingyan and Zhao Ran both had a good reputation.
of grace.
In addition, he also represents the jungles in all directions in the world, and can profoundly influence the choice of Jiuzhou Pavilion. He also has a great influence on Qifu Pavilion and Baojing Pavilion. Everything Zhao Ran says needs to be carefully considered, even if
If you don't think about it, you can't fall out.
After thinking about it for a long time, Huang Bingyue asked: "What does Zhi Ran mean?"
Zhao Ran said: "Wu Tianshi told me that he didn't talk about anything else. He only talked about this one, the ability to receive letters, and asked them to come and take a look. I can think about it for my personal opinion."
Huang Bingyue asked: "Zhi Ran has the idea of reconciling with Buddhism?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "As I said just now, there is no reconciliation or reconciliation, because the agreement itself does not discuss other issues."
Huang Bingyue said: "Why did you agree to Shen Xiu's entry into the Chaos Immortal Realm?"
Zhao Ran said: "What do you think the Chaos Immortal Realm is to the Taoist sect?"
Huang Bingyue said: "It is our second choice and will be the home of most Taoist monks in the future. How can such an important place be shown to Buddhism?"
Zhao Ran said: "Yes, the Chaos Immortal Realm is an important treasure of our Taoist sect, and it cannot be cherished too much. However, I have two ideas, and I will share them with you two. First, can our Taoist sect guard such a valuable treasure? What if?
If you can't hold it, it's like a kid running into a busy city with gold. There's a risk of losing it. If you can hold it, what can you do if you let them take a look? Secondly, we have this heavy treasure in our hands. How should we use it? It's something we hold in our own hands.
Should we keep it in our hands, or should we use it as a sharp weapon to achieve our goals?"
