Chapter 62 This official, I want to try!

Wanyan Fence, Wanyan Tong, Ashan and other Jurchen teenagers were also appointed as the chiefs of personal guards.

Li Luo currently relies more on his personal guards. Not only are he treated better than the village chariots, but he even awarded military ranks in advance.

After all, these Jurchen private soldiers did several major events. At that time, the local warriors were building houses and had not started training.

If you treat everyone equally with the village hero, Li Luo will seem unfair.

Now the highest military rank in Luoning Camp is major. The two ranks of major and captain are currently vacant. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning have not asked for military ranks in order to maintain their transcendent status.

Du Lie and Wu Tu are just guest coaches, with relatively superior status. They are neither village heroes nor private soldiers, so they are not awarded military ranks.

The lieutenant is currently the highest actual military rank. And only the private army captain Hu Gu and the personal guard captain Guangxia.

There are four Jurchens in the private guard system who have won the rank of second lieutenant, all of whom have participated in several operations. These four are the team assistants and supervisors of Hu Gu and Guangxia, and the second and third leaders under the captain.

Yan Jun, Yan Tong, Ashan and others were both the chiefs, and they were also awarded the rank of sergeant.

Li Luo's identity is the "wolf master" of these Jurchens. Now they are very supportive and dependent on them, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty.

After the appointment of acting officers at all levels, the organization of Luoning Camp has been basically improved, which has completed a transformation and the training effect has become more prominent.

This small army has truly become a little elite.

Spring is better, and it is mid-April in a blink of an eye.

Not only has Luoning Camp flourished through rigorous training day after day, Yeyuetang’s training is also progressing steadily, and the appearance of the forty-nine students has also changed a lot.

After several months of layout, Cui Xiuning's intelligence tentacles have extended to major counties such as Renzhou and Hanyang on the other side of the sea. The next step is to open the city of Wangjing.

The bone porcelain made by Li Luo has accumulated more than 100 pieces in several times. Just when the batch is fired recently, I will find a large business to take action at one time.

On April 15th, on the night of full moon, Yeyue Hall made an exception tonight without classes. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning accompanied their adopted father Yan Duo and chatted at the Moon Viewing Pavilion in the Intermediate Courtyard.

Several girls who were maids and assistants served the three owners with fruits, snacks, tea, wine and vegetables.

The wine and food are deep in the courtyard, the bright moon is in the sky, Yan Duo holds a wine glass in his hand, and in a trance it seems like he is back in his youth, a rich and leisurely life in the palace and royal palace.

Since Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty, was wandering and desolate, most of the days I spent with my tribe members and had a worrying meal. It has been a long time since I had such leisurely days.

Because of his anti-Yuan Yuan Dynasty, his family was destroyed twice. Unexpectedly, it was about to come. Due to fate, God was not too weak to him. He actually had a pair of adopted sons and daughters whom he had a close relationship. It was not desolate to be old.

Both adopted sons and daughters are not ordinary people, and they are very sincere to him. Yan Duo can be said to be very comforted by his old wishes.

"My son, if you want to immigrate to that treasure island, you do need a few large sea boats. It would be fine if it was a merchant ship, but if you want to build a warship, you are a little anxious." Yan Duo said.

Li Luo frowned: "I know the worries of the adoptive father. But I am really unwilling to spend so much money to build a ship but can't be used for war."

In order to implement the strategic purpose of immigrating to the treasure island and building hidden bases, Li Luo originally planned to build two or three large warships, which can be used both at sea and transported for commercial use. This is the most cost-effective solution, killing two birds with one stone.

But the adoptive father was worried about causing trouble.

In fact, Cui Xiuning also felt that building warships was too risky and insecure.

Cui Xiuning said: "I have checked that whether Goryeo or the Yuan Dynasty, privately built warships were convicted of pirates or corruption. Only navy troops could own warships. Moreover, even if navy generals could build warships themselves, the ships built belonged to the government and were not privately owned by the generals."

In a word, Li Luo is not a general of the navy and cannot build his own warships. Even if Li Luo gets the official position of the navy, the warships he built with his own money belong to the court, and it has nothing to do with him.

There is a big difference between warships and merchant ships, and others can tell at a glance. Obviously, it is difficult to succeed in building warships privately and concealing them. Especially for large warships, how can they hide such a big thing?

Yan Duo agreed with Cui Xiuning's words and continued, "I don't know why you hate Japan and Japan so much. Others are afraid of avoiding it. My son is trying to go up and go with the Yuan army. Even if he occupied Japan, you may not be able to get the Shijian Mountain you said, and the risk is too great."

Li Luo said: "What the adoptive father said is extremely true. My son also knows the risks. But time is not enough. I must follow the crusades in Japan. If I don't build warships now, I will not be able to catch up."

Yan Duo said: "Then you have to find a naval officer first to build it legally."

Li Luo smiled bitterly. He had only been in the capital village for four months and asked himself that he was not able to obtain a naval officer so quickly.

"The adoptive father, there is another way. I might as well buy three large merchant ships directly, transport the migrant Jurchens to the treasure island first, and build warships on that island. When I get the position of a naval officer, I can use warships legitimately. The island does not belong to the Yuan court, and there is no navy there, so we will not be discovered to build warships."

Yan Duo nodded: "This is a good way to make changes. In this way, you can buy a merchant ship quickly and mobilize Jurchen refugees from all over Goryeo for your father to move out to sea."

Li Luo was very excited and imagined that after thousands of people went to Baodao, they became the pioneer farming group, working hard and digging for land and breeding.

Some people may ask, why did Li Luo not abandon everything about Goryeo and move directly to the treasure island? Such a large island is enough for him to do anything, right? Isn’t it easier?

This is because, once you do this, you will abandon your official position. After all, Baodao has no official position and will lose any official status.

An island force without an official identity, no matter how strong it is, will only be defined as a pirate and cannot be conquered with the imperial army to conquer Japan.

Those who have the opportunity to join the expedition are either the Yuan army or the Goryeo army. Without this name, what is your business in Japan? What benefits can you get? Either they were wiped out by the Yuan army or by the Japanese army.

Only by being nailed to Goryeo and having the status of an official army can we take advantage of its power and take advantage of the situation, rather than completely breaking away from the court and establishing our own business.

The plan has been decided, and Li Luo asked Cui Xiuning again: "How much money do we have left?"

Cui Xiuning said: "No less than a thousand stakes."

Li Luo said: "We only have one medium-sized merchant ship we bought last time, and at least three more large merchant ships are needed. This money is far from enough."

Cui Xiuning nodded, "At the end of the month, there will be 800 guan of spring military pay, and I am almost out of money. When will you go to sell porcelain?"

Li Luo said: "The fourth batch of porcelain will come out on April 20th, and will be shipped to Hanyang together on the 21st day. How did you investigate the big trading company in Hanyang?"

Cui Xiuning smiled and said, "I basically figured it out. Just sell it to Shanhai Trading Company. Shanhai Trading Company happens to have a stake in the Li family of Renzhou, and is also one of the three major trading companies in Goryeo. They have a strong wealth and business involves Central Plains and Japan, so their integrity is not bad."

"There is another news about the county magistrate's yamen." Cui Xiuning continued, "Zheng Lu is worried about military service recently and is determined to use the village bravery. He plans to appoint a regiment training envoy to take charge, but no suitable official is willing to take over."

Li Luo's eyes lit up, "This official... I want to give it a try!"

What is he most worried about now? It is not money, not food and weapons.

What he was most worried about was... the soldiers!

If you dare to be extra-profile, it is a bad plan. If a Duzhai trains one thousand soldiers, it is a rebellion.
