Chapter 1614 Inland water masters are not salted fish
The news that Li Xingchen went to the fields to inspect mulberry crops in Wujun soon spread throughout Jiangnan.
It is well known that His Majesty attaches great importance to farming and mulberry. During the spring plowing every year, His Majesty would personally go to the fields to plow the land. But after all, that was a matter far away in Jiankang Prefecture. Before the canal and Jiangnan Avenue were unblocked, from Jiangnan
Going from the state capitals to Jiankang Prefecture often requires boats and cars to transfer back and forth, and the roads are quite inconvenient, so the affairs of Jiankang Prefecture are still far away for the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River.
Being far away naturally makes it seem unreal.
This time, Li Xingchen went to the fields in person to listen to the rice planting matters, and even gave many instructions to the officials. Of course, the common people did not know what His Majesty said specifically, but as long as His Majesty said something, it was enough. This shows that Your Majesty has great respect for Jiangnan farming.
Really caring.
Therefore, when Li Xingchen appeared in Wuxing, the people lined the streets to welcome him, and the scene was quite lively.
For the people in these prefectures in the hinterland of the Yangtze River, they only know that there are aristocratic families all year round, and they don't even know that there is an emperor. It is not their fault. The emperor of Jiankang Mansion was changed too frequently. As time went by, everyone was too lazy to care.
.
It wasn't until the nobles in Jiangnan were severely suppressed that the people realized that this His Majesty was really different. However, His Majesty was on both the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition. In fact, everyone didn't care.
South, north, etc., it has nothing to do with my family!
But Li Xingchen personally persuaded Nongsang, but it was different. I would like to ask, in the Southern Dynasty, where emperors were changed like a revolving door, is there anyone who is not afraid of the cold in the winter and goes to the fields?
You know, when the cold wind blows in the fields and the water in the paddy fields ripples, even the old farmers shiver.
Therefore, even Li Xingchen himself did not expect that he would win the hearts of people in Jiangnan when he went to the fields to explain hybrid rice.
But going to the fields only needs to be done once. Of course, Li Xingchen will not go to the fields wherever he goes. If things go on like this, everyone will probably say that His Majesty, the emperor, is no different from an old farmer in the field. Then the majesty of the emperor will be there again.
where?
But this time Li Xingchen came to Wuxing to inspect farming or accompany Shen Wuhua home. It was a small matter. He still had something big to do, which was to inspect the Dahan Inland River Navy on Taihu Lake.
The Dahan Inland Navy was the remaining part of the Han Dynasty after it established and reorganized its navy. It was mainly composed of the Dongting fleet that went south to Lingnan and the newly formed fleet from Bashu. The so-called "later" in the latter naturally refers to Li Xinchen's entry into the navy.
After Jiankang Mansion.
At that time, Li Xinchen was training the navy in Bashu and was able to sail down the river. Of course, he did not expect that he would have such an easy journey from breaking through Yiting to Jiankang Prefecture. Therefore, many naval ships have not yet crossed the Three Gorges.
Jiankang Prefecture has already "changed the King's Banner".
In addition, part of the fleet on Dongting Lake was transferred south to support the Lingnan war along the Lingqu Canal. Therefore, when the Han Dynasty reorganized its navy, the officers and soldiers of these two fleets naturally had no chance to participate and became the main force of the navy.
River water division below.
After the navy was reorganized, except for a few of the Huanglong ships, Wuya ships, etc. that were suitable for inland navigation, they were taken away for modification to adapt to offshore sea conditions. The rest fell into the hands of the inland navy, making the original
All the dilapidated warships of the Han Navy were eliminated, and the arrangement of Qing Yishui'er's large ships was naturally spectacular.
However, for the soldiers of the Inland River Navy, they will probably have to fight mainly on the rivers in their lives and will never have access to the sea. However, if the Han Dynasty can quickly defeat the enemies in the north, the Inland River Navy will lose the value of its existence and may still be able to capture
The chance to live will be adapted for the Navy.
Now the leader of the river navy is General Jiang Xian, who is also unlucky. When the Han army came out of the Three Gorges to attack Yiting, the Nanchen army deployed iron ropes to block the river, and Jiang Xian, who was leading the vanguard, was almost annihilated.
On the water, fortunately, the five-toothed ship built at that time was quite powerful, and the Yulin Cavalry also crossed the mountains and attacked the enemy camp in time. Otherwise, the sin of damaging the forward would be enough to deny Jiang Xian a chance to stand out in his life.
Yes.
Later, Qiu Zhi, who was alongside him, made great achievements in the Battle of Dongting. In addition, Qi Xin, the general of the Nanchen Navy, surrendered with the main force of the navy. Jiang Xian could only become a general and was thrown over to serve as a naval general.
, which is naturally incomparable to the navy galloping across the ocean, so to say that I am depressed is to say that I am really depressed. It is difficult to lift my spirits even when I look at these big ships every day.
Later, when the Han Dynasty put down the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, the navy once advanced into the south of the Yangtze River and even fought along the Lanting River to the Kuaiji City. But after all, it was only part of the navy's troops, and the war went so fast that it ended before everyone felt anything.
It made Jiang Xian and others feel uninterested. Someone who can truly become an opponent should not be such a soft persimmon.
Defeating the Jiangnan Family is not something worth bragging about. If you really give me a few compliments, others will say that the old lady is taking the cake.
However, now that the Han Dynasty is preparing for the Northern Expedition, the navy has almost been reduced to fishing and netting. The importance of the inland navy has suddenly increased. Although the navy's ships are powerful, they have deep drafts and cannot enter the inland river of the Huai River. Therefore, the navy must cross the Huai River.
and played an inescapable and important role in the subsequent battle across the river.
Therefore, Jiang Xian and others also cheered up and trained their soldiers diligently every day and did not dare to neglect.
The first task of the navy was naturally to attack the Huaihe River defense line. Therefore, as early as two months ago, the navy originally stationed in Dongting followed the river and then turned the canal into Taihu Lake to intensify training closer to the front line.
His Majesty came to inspect, which naturally made Jiang Xian even more energetic. When Your Majesty takes charge of the expedition in person, the river navy will have to fight for the first place no matter what. Let Your Majesty see it, even though we are already famous among the entire navy.
, we were told all day long that we were "swimming in Dongting Lake and sunbathing on the lake shore", but when the salted fish turned over, it could still stir up waves!
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang!" Among the officials who greeted him, Mr. Jiang had the highest official position. Even the prefect of Wuxing had to give in a little.
They were all from Shuzhong at that time, and they could be regarded as heroes in the army. Some of the things they said could be said openly, so Li Xingchen was not polite to him: "I heard that your river navy has nothing to do in Dongting Lake, leisurely all day, and even fishing.
Is it possible to enjoy posting on the Internet?"
Jiang Xian smiled awkwardly, who was it that was slandering our Navy behind our back like this? Is it because the Navy people were eager to take the credit? However, Li Xingchen had already asked about it, so naturally he did not dare to yell at him: "Return to your Majesty, Jiuwu
Relaxation in war is the fault of the last general, but there is no such thing as "three days to fish and two days to dry the nets."
Li Xingchen glanced at him, I'm sorry you don't dare either.
