The two of them completely resolved their embarrassment through this topic, exchanged a few words, and got down to business.
"Your Majesty, according to your decree, there are now six Daming Navy Guards, three Qianhu Stations, 110,000 Army Guards officers, 50,000 barbarian officers, and nearly 200,000 troops stationed in the three prefectures of Lianzhou, Leizhou, and Qiongzhou in Guangdong. , with General He, the Marquis of Palembang, as the commander... Now all the soldiers are ready to go out and can conquer Annan for the Ming Dynasty at any time, just waiting for His Majesty's order." Li Jiqian said.
"These armies are indeed ready to go to war with Annan?" Yun He asked rhetorically.
"It's true. The last guard soldier from Huguang arrived at Yong'an Station in Lianzhou ten days ago. All the soldiers have rested for many days and are fully prepared. They will even grow fat if they don't move. Not to mention Zhang The army led by Lord Marquis, Lord Mu and others have been fighting with Annan for many days. The soldiers all said, how can I stand by and watch the bloody battle between Tongze and Annan people? They all asked for a fight. So Commander He said, even if your Majesty For the sake of military morale, it is time to dispatch the left army to fight Annan." Li Jiqian said.
Yunxi smiled. You want to say that the middle and high-level generals want to go to war with Annan for military merit. How can low-level generals and ordinary soldiers except a very small number of people ask for a fight? Are you going to die on the battlefield as soon as possible? Although most soldiers have to go out to fight. I won’t disobey my orders, but it’s better not to fight if I can.
But of course Yunxi would not expose it. He said with a smile: "Since the military morale can be used, of course I will not let the military morale be cold." Then he ordered Huang Lu who was standing aside to call Hu Yan, the man from Zhongshushe who was guarding outside; Hu Yan was very Come in quickly, Yunxi said to him: "Immediately make two orders: First, order the navy stationed in Lianzhou, Leizhou, and Qiongzhou to leave 30%, and the rest will be dispatched to the hundreds of miles of coastline of Annan Kingdom. For overseas patrols, no Annan ships over 50 tons are allowed to go out to sea, even fishing boats."
"Secondly, the land divisions stationed in the three prefectures will assemble at Hepu, Haikang, and Haikou within three days from the date of the order's arrival. Chief officers who cannot arrive on time will be demoted to the third level."
Yunxi originally wanted to not allow any ships from Annan to go to sea, but when he thought about the problem of connecting with people from Ming Dynasty who were lurking in Annan territory or had been bribed by Ming Dynasty, he changed his mind to not allowing ships with more than 50 ships to go to sea; as for the three-day requirement They had to reach the assembly point, and of course they had to mobilize these troops.
After hearing Yunxi's words, Hu Yan immediately took the pen and ink from Huang Lu and started writing. Soon, he drafted two imperial edicts, stamped them with a big seal after the emperor nodded, and sent them to the inn.
After giving the order, Yunxi was planning to say something else. He looked up and looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. He said to Huang Lu, "Go and order the food to be passed around."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yan and others immediately said: "I'm leaving."
Yunxi nodded and asked Hu Yan and others to retreat, but Li Jiqian was left behind. However, they were not surprised, bowed and bowed before retreating.
After they all left the house, Yunxi smiled at Li Jiqian and said, "Li Aiqing, just as Concubine Yun came to Qiongzhou Mansion with me, you brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for half a year. I will leave you to have dinner in the palace today."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jiqian immediately bowed and agreed.
Yunxi frowned. According to the rules, even the brother of the emperor's concubine had to give in once or twice before accepting; but he soon felt relieved. Li Jiqian was only recruited into the army more than three years ago. At first He was also discriminated against. It is estimated that if anything wrong happened in the health center, he would be blamed. If anything good happened, he would not be thought of. It was not until he brought Lisa into the palace two years ago that things got better. He also officially started to learn the rules. , so it’s normal for him to behave like this now, and he understands the rules very well, so that’s why it’s wrong.
Then Yunxi took Li Jiqian to the backyard to let the brothers and sisters meet. They hadn't seen each other for half a year, so naturally they missed each other very much, so they sat together and talked; but Li Shaer probably didn't want to ignore Yunxi during dinner.
, I didn’t talk too much to Li Jiqian, just a normal chat.
After dinner, Li Jiqian left. At this time, Yunxi saw the reluctance in Li Sha'er's eyes, so after he left, he said to her: "Sha'er, when I go to deal with political affairs tomorrow morning, I will
He called the palace to let you brothers and sisters talk enough, so that you will always remember him in your heart. Look at the reluctance in your eyes, I am almost jealous." Yunxi finally made a joke.
Li Shaer also said a joke, which was a response to Yunxi, and then saluted very formally: "I thank you for your kindness." According to the rules, it is already a favor for Yunxi to let their brother and sister meet tonight.
, he actually allowed them to sit together and talk again tomorrow morning, that is the emperor's great kindness, of course Li Sha'er would like to thank him.
If Xiyao said that, of course Yunxi immediately stepped forward and hugged her and said, "You and I are husband and wife, so what's the word "thank you"?"
But Li Shaer was not his wife, so although he still stepped forward and hugged her waist, he said: "Compared to what you have done for me, this is nothing; besides, since you call me husband, I will naturally call you husband."
Thinking about you."
"My husband is so kind." Li Shaer said half-coquettishly, half-gratefully.
"Since your husband is so kind to you, do you want to thank your husband?" Yunxi suddenly smiled.
Of course, Li Shaer understood what he meant, and said softly: "How do you want me to be grateful, how can I be grateful?"
Yunxi laughed loudly, then picked her up and walked to the inner room.
…
…
Early the next morning, Yunxi got up refreshed, teased Li Shaer a few more words, and left the backyard of the palace.
When he arrived at the study outside the front yard, Li Shuli was already waiting inside. When he saw Yun Xi coming over, he immediately bowed and saluted.
Yunxi waved his hand and asked him to sit down without courtesy, and then started talking to him.
He first listened to Li Shuli talk about some of the things he had done during the three years he had been in charge of Qiongzhou. Although Yunxi had already learned about these things through Jin Yiwei, he still listened patiently.
After he finished speaking, Yunxi heard that the news was similar to what he had received from Jin Yiwei. He praised him a few words seriously, and then began to ask about other local situations in Qiongzhou.
Qiongzhou, also known as modern Hainan, is a good place. Qiongzhou is located at the southernmost tip of China. It is located in the tropics and does not snow all year round. Even if there were heavy snowstorms across the country, Guangzhou was almost buried in the snow that year.
People can still only watch the snow on TV, and they are proud of it all over the country.
Because the water, light, heat and other conditions here are very superior, many crops can be harvested twice or even three times a year, so it is very suitable for the development of agriculture. The per capita agricultural output value of later generations ranks among the top in the country.
In addition, Qiongzhou is also rich in medicinal resources. There are 2,000 kinds of crops that can be used as medicine. The most famous are the four southern medicines: areca nut, puzzle, amomum villosum, Morinda citrifolia, deer antler, pangolin, hawksbill turtle, seahorse turtle
Platy and other precious medicinal materials are also produced.
Moreover, Qiongzhou is an island surrounded by the sea, and its fishery is also very developed. The area of the ocean fishing grounds is vast, more than ten times the area of the island. Also because it is surrounded by the sea, it also has many natural salt fields, and you can dry salt almost everywhere.
Not to mention the rich resources of Hainan Island. The iron ore reserves of Hainan's Shilu Iron Mine account for about 70% of the country's rich iron ore reserves, ranking first in the country; titanium ore reserves account for 70% of the country's; zircon reserves
