Chapter 172: Shipbuilding
The master said that Zuo Liangyu was rebellious by nature, so he had to beat him well, and even he was prepared, but when I saw it today, there was still a hint of rebelliousness in this Zuo Liangyu, very peaceful.
In fact, what Chongzhen didn't know was that Zuo Liangyu was actually frightened by his appearance of protecting his body from the Nine Dragons that day and showing his mighty power.
People like Zuo Liangyu are born to obey only the strong, and treat the weak with arrogance.
Witnessing Chongzhen, who is like a god, came into the world, Zuo Liangyu didn't even have time to pick up his tail, how could he dare to be reckless.
"Okay, there are two Aiqings here, why worry about Jiannu's immortality!" Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction and said, "You don't want a reward, but I can't do it if I don't give it!
"I want to reuse you, reuse you well!"
"Lu Xiangsheng, the Tianxiong Army under your command was renamed the Tianxiong Army, expanding the army by 100,000, and guarding the territory for me, Daming! 99
"Zuo Liangyu, you can choose 100,000 elites from the recruits to form the Tianwei Army, and expand the territory for me in the Ming Dynasty!
"Two Ai Qing, are you two still satisfied with my arrangement?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting us, we will be stubborn, and we will do whatever it takes!"
Lu Xiangsheng and the two immediately knelt down and grabbed the ground with their heads, hoping to knock out their brains.
The two of them were only small generals before, but now they have become the leaders of the "June 43" of a large army of the Ming Dynasty, and they are on a par with Cao Bianjiao and others.
"Okay!" Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and said with a big laugh: "You two can go to the boot camp and lead your soldiers and recruits to eat and live together. Within three months, I want to see the Tianxiong Legion and the Tianwei Legion. Parade! 35
"Yes!" Lu Xiangsheng and the two nodded excitedly again.
At this time, Li Dingguo, who had been left to the side, finally couldn't help but speak.
I saw him take a step forward and look at Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I, Li Dingguo, are only the son of a generation of traitorous officials, why did you summon me?"
"you………
Just as Zuo Liangyu was about to speak, he was interrupted by Chongzhen's wave.
Chongzhen stared into Li Dingguo's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Li Dingguo, I know you are sensible, and you are a loyal and loyal general of the generation. I ask you, do you think your rebellion can bring me back to life?"
Li Dingguo was silent.
Come back to life? Of course not.
The so-called rebels are nothing more than a group of mud-legged people, and becoming a rebel was a helpless act forced by life at the time.
But now, the number of rebels has surged, and it has become an inevitable trend. If you want to have a living space, there is only one way to betray the country. But whether this road will work, Li Dingguo does not report any hope.
"It seems that you can also think clearly." Chongzhen said lightly: "I might as well tell you that the Ming Dynasty has the protection of immortal masters. In just a few months, my Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the people are not only With food to eat, the imperial court developed new weapons to completely drive the slaves out of the country.
"In the future, I will definitely help the building to fall, and put my Daming on the right track again. Not only that, I will also plant my Daming dragon flag all over the world, so that the whole world will recite the achievements of the Immortal Master, and let me be Daming. Become a true empire on which the sun never sets, Li Dingguo, you are a generation of talents named by the immortal master, are you willing to help me turn the world over?"
Li Dingguo and the others trembled, their eyes full of shock.
They thought that it was Chongzhen's goal to completely restore the situation in Daming, but no one thought that Chongzhen's goal was so majestic!
What an ambition to turn the world over!
But they had no doubts that Chongzhen could do it. With the protection of the Immortal Master, it was only a matter of time before he made such a great deed.
Thinking of the scene of the Daming Dragon Flag flying all over the world, Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu were immediately excited.
Li Dingguo was also full of enthusiasm, but after all, he had a lot of concerns and did not immediately agree to Chongzhen's invitation.
He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, if the domestic situation is restored, what do you want to do with the rebels?
"Kill a batch, release a batch, and pardon a batch!"
Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "The rebels have already formed a great and invincible trend. The key lies in Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others. They organized rebels and caused countless bloodshed in my Daming country. I will not let any of these people go!"
"As for the other rebels, they are all my people of Ming Dynasty. I will measure the degree of rebellion. If the sins are serious, I will definitely kill them. If the sins are less, I will exile them to the frontier, and I will open up the frontier for my Ming Dynasty forever. , shall not return to the Central Plains!
As he spoke, Chongzhen glanced at Li Dingguo, whose face was a little pale, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "I know that Zhang Xianzhong is your foster father, but his sins are serious, I can only reward him with a glass of poisonous wine and let him leave peacefully. , as for you..."
"The last general is willing to serve His Majesty!" Li Dingguo immediately knelt down and gave a respectful salute to Chongzhen.
He knew in his heart that when he was caught in the capital, both he and Zhang Xianzhong were prisoners.
Given Zhang Xianzhong's position among the rebels, at least he was executed at a lingering time, and now he is fighting for a glass of poisoned wine, which is already Chongzhen's biggest concession.
Li Dingguo is a reasonable person and will not be foolish in this regard.
Moreover, he has the heart to serve the motherland, and this wave of smooth sailing is not a bad thing for Li Dingguo.
"Okay, Li Qing is truly unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness!" After conquering another general, Chongzhen was in a good mood and said loudly: "I will call you General Zhenhai, you can recruit 100,000 recruits to form the Zhenhai Navy and go to Jinling. Harbor training, my future invincible sailor will be born from your hands!"
"Yes, at the end of the day, you will definitely be devastated and live up to your Majesty's trust!
Jinmen.
Port of Jinmen.
This was originally one of the largest inbound and outbound ports in Daming. Once, the majestic Daming treasure ship set sail here and sailed all over the world, spreading the brilliance of Daming all over the world.
However, with the passage of time, Daming's national strength is declining day by day, the overall military power is declining, the once brilliant Daming fleet disintegrated, and the Daming treasure ship that dominates the world has decayed in time.
In Jinmen Port, there are only two or three big cats and kittens left here, guarding the former glory.
"Bang! 35
"boom!""
"boom!""
In the port, in the midst of defeat, the sound of a hammer can be heard clearly.
Through the crack of the door, you can see a huge warehouse, a white-haired old man bent over, holding a small iron hammer, constantly knocking, driving iron nails into the wood.
In front of him, a large ship keel with a length of more than 30 meters can already be seen vaguely.
"Master, why don't you forget it!" Beside the old man, a young man in a short shirt with a saw in his hand suddenly said: "Da Ming no longer needs a big boat, we don't need to stick here anymore.
The old man didn't speak, just stared at the long nail in front of him intently, his arms kept rising and falling, as if there were only iron nails in his eyes.
The young man sighed, suddenly walked around to the old man, and said in a deep voice, "Master, what's the point of us sticking to it like this?
"Five years ago, Uncle Zhao left!"
"Three years ago, Brother Wang left the shipyard to become a carpenter..""
"Nine months ago, Xiao Li also left.
"Now there are only two of us left in the shipyard. Even eating is a problem. We don't need to stick to it here!"
"Master, with your craftsmanship, even if you go to the people to be a carpenter, you can still live happily, so why stick to this dying place, Daming... Daming doesn't need us anymore!
At the end of the speech, the young man's voice became more and more high, and the dust on the top of the shipyard fell.
"boom!"
The iron nail was driven into the wood at once, and the movement in the old man's hand suddenly stopped.
He looked up at the young man, a ray of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "You want to go? 35
"I..." The young man blushed suddenly, his throat rolled up and down, and he seemed to have nothing to hide under the eyes of the old man, but he still said bravely: "Da Ming no longer needs us!"
After listening to the silence for a while, the old man suddenly shook his head slowly: "Da Ming doesn't need us, but Daming needs warships!"
The young man's face became even more ugly when he heard the sound. He waved his finger at the defeated, dilapidated shipyard, and said angrily: "Master, look at it, just based on this, can we still make warships!"
The old man was stunned for a while, turned his head and glanced at the surrounding environment, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
He has witnessed the brilliance of the Ming Dynasty.
Once, hundreds of boatmen worked in this shipyard, and powerful warships were launched under the push of logs.
At that time, everyone was in high spirits, and no one had ever imagined that the mighty Daming Navy would come to an end one day.
But now, only their master and apprentice are left in the shipyard.
The old man who walked past the curtain of glory was silent for a while, and suddenly squeezed the hammer in his hand.
He continued to bury his head on the keel in front of him, his voice low: "Da Ming, there will be a day when we will be needed, you don't understand!"
"There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. If you want to leave, just leave."
As he spoke, he swung the hammer sharply, and the nails were driven in half at once, and a heavy voice echoed in the empty shipyard.
"master……"
The youth's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth, and left the saw in his hand to turn and leave.
suddenly.
"..."
The wooden door was pushed open, and a hoarse figure came out.
Sunlight came in through the gate of the shipyard, shining a bright light on the dark shipyard.
The master and the apprentice raised their heads at the same time, and in the light, a slender general with a handsome face, dressed in the armor of the Great Ming General, walked in.
He glanced at the shipyard and saw the old man beside the skeleton, with a smile on his face.
"I am Li Dingguo, the general of Zhenhai, Daming, may I ask, is it Master Wu Yue and Wu in person?
"Your Majesty, there is news from General Li that he has arrived at Jinling Port and is trying to recruit oars, and now the initial results have been achieved.
In the imperial study, Wang Chengen stood in front of Chongzhen and said respectfully.
"Okay, well done!"
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead and let Li Dingguo speed up the progress and rebuild the three major shipyards in Jinling Port, mainly to build large ships of more than 1,500 materials. Within three years, I will see a thousand large ships go to sea!"
"This………"
