Chapter 232 Worthless officials
The shadow of the sail is getting closer and closer.
This is Shen Lin's first time.
See these behemoth naval warships up close.
Unfortunately, they are all wooden structures.
The shape and workmanship are exquisite.
I’m just afraid of fire!
No wonder water battles in this era always attack with fire first.
Of course, no matter how strong the structure of a wooden boat is, it is limited.
The heavy trebuchet can hit stones as big as wheels up to 300 paces.
It would be unbearable for any warship to take a hit.
Hu Da Long smiled strangely.
"Three 10,000-ton class ships, sixteen 5,000-ton class ships, and a large group of 3,000-ton or less ships."
"Could it be that the deputy general of the Chanzhou Navy, that old guy Zou Mingxian, is thinking about it?"
"It's exciting now."
"Li Guangli cannot be promoted to a general, so the court will let him lead 10,000 troops."
"Zou Mingxian only has two navy generals under his command, each of whom can command five thousand soldiers."
"Five thousand Chinese troops!"
"Everyone will be embarrassed when they look at Lao Li, right?"
The number of leaders of the economic army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including guerrillas and generals, was actually about the same.
The same goes for the deputy general and the commander-in-chief.
Some general soldiers in the south were very short-changed.
It would be good if his subordinates could pull out two thousand soldiers capable of fighting.
Look at these generals in the north.
Whether it is the predecessor Zhang Fengqi or the current Zhuang Zicai.
In fact, they all have the false title of commander-in-chief and governor-general.
The commander-in-chief is already considered the ceiling for generals.
The above is the title of knight, which is very difficult for Da Zhou.
Except for the three kinds of princes who were the founding group of princes and princes.
In the past two hundred years, there have been no more seals.
Most of them were granted titles after everyone died.
If it is not hereditary, the descendants of that family will not enjoy much benefit at all.
The important border generals have great responsibilities, and the court dare not neglect them.
There are 20,000 nuclear troops, and you can recruit and support more by yourself.
With the title of governor-general, you don't have to kneel down when you see a first-class civil servant. Is that enough honor?
I will set aside a dozen more counties for you, and all the taxes will be used to support your troops.
Farming is also possible.
In fact, Anding's taxes originally belonged to Chanzhou, so the navy was able to help defend it.
But Anding County is so wealthy that taxes are a big deal.
Therefore, Zhending's civil service system has been at odds with the Governor's Palace in Chanzhou for decades.
In the end, it was decided that it would be half a family.
But Chanzhou is closer.
The naval forces assist in defense, and more hidden income goes into the military's pockets.
Even far more than half of the tax.
Because ordinary taxes do not include commercial tax of 30% tax.
On the contrary, it gave Shen Zhongxin an advantage.
Otherwise, how could he have the money to train 28,000 rural soldiers and squad troops?
Now it is even cheaper to attack Shen Yi on the East Road.
Five thousand soldiers were approved, and he already had ten thousand.
His dad definitely supports him.
Zhou Yuan and Li Chengfeng also trust the local children of their hometown more.
It’s better than leaving it to the Chanzhou Army to fend for themselves, right?
Look, it's been twelve days.
Are you here to support or to travel?
If you have a lot of money, you might as well give it to Li Guangli secretly.
Let him recruit his own troops.
At any rate, his naval force will be expanded to 10,000 people.
Li Guangli dares to fight and is not afraid of death.
This time more than a thousand sailors died, all for the sake of stability.
Zhou Yuan has already promised generously.
Once next month's business tax is collected.
So he allocated 50,000 taels of silver to Li Guangli.
Let him pay out the pension.
Of course Li Guangli was very happy.
He can't use up this money.
The governor of Chanzhou is his uncle, even if there is some deduction.
Seventy to eighty percent of the pension will definitely be received.
It is much stronger than other armies in Chanzhou.
At the beginning, more than a thousand of Hu Dalong's heavy cavalry were killed in the battle, and the whole camp was full of wounded soldiers.
But only received 30% of the pension.
At least the deputy general, Ma Yuan, wanted to win over him.
He needs an additional 20,000 surrender troops to help him.
After capturing the bandits' nest in Luoyang Mountain, Hu Dalong gained a lot.
Otherwise, how could he have one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a war horse from Shen Lin?
Wu Qi crossed his arms with a look of contempt on his face.
"What is there to envy?"
"Li Guangli paid for it with his life."
"The group of generals and lieutenants from Chanzhou beat a bunch of rabble."
"We surrounded Luoyang Mountain for three months."
"Can't we rely on heavy cavalry?"
"Zou Mingxian's 15,000 navy troops, from the perspective of Master Qi, are just like that."
"When it comes to military management skills, Master Qi will obey Li Guangli!"
Hey?
Do you think we are just decorations?
Shen Lin and Hu Dalong turned their heads together, their eyes like daggers.
Wu Qi was startled and hurriedly took a step back.
Shen Lin was taught by him and Lady Hong, and his martial arts skills are just average.
The tiger and the dragon are not ordinary, and Wu Qi feels terrified when talking about a long battle!
The fat on his face shook and he smiled dryly.
"Slip of the tongue!"
"Absolutely a slip of the tongue!"
"You two are better than Li Guangli."
"It's still so strong."
In fact, Wu Qi still feels that Li Guangli is stronger.
Shen Lin and Hu Dalong just use their equipment to bully people.
When Li Guang died, there were only a few intact subordinates left.
Shout "Go and take revenge."
Even the seriously injured brother wanted to climb up the city wall with a knife.
This kind of military management ability can reveal the whole leopard at a glance!
I'm not too familiar with Tiger and Dragon.
Shen Lin, my brother.
This guy plays with strange skills, uh, including reciting poems and composing poems.
Truly unrivaled.
But when training to fight, you still have to learn to walk step by step!
Omniscient and omnipotent, that is not a human being.
It's a fairy!
Of course Shen Lin is a human being, just a bit more evil.
Several people are talking about the Chanzhou navy.
A 10,000-ton class flagship came straight towards the big pier.
Hello!
You are going in the wrong direction.
The navy camp is on the right.
But people still ignored it and relied on the civilian wharf.
Several speedboats on the water quickly turned their sails and rowed their oars, cursing and getting out of the way.
This damn thing is going crazy.
In case of being hit.
The warship only lost a few pieces of paint.
If civilian ships don't run faster, they will definitely be destroyed and everyone will be frozen!
As soon as the big ship docked and the planks were put down, Shen Lin and Wu Qi turned around and left.
The most annoying person is here.
Li Guangli, who was accompanying him, was stunned.
Cousin, Mr. Zhuang, you don’t seem to be very popular?
Zhang Mingyang shouted from afar with his teeth and claws arrogant.
"Shen Lin, stop for this guerrilla!"
What?
Shen Lin really stood still.
You, a young master, have never fought a single battle, how come you were promoted from a thousand households to a guerrilla?
Is it because you have a good father who is a governor?
The small joy I felt at getting promoted suddenly disappeared.
Shen Lin felt depressed.
The military attache of the Zhou Dynasty was so worthless, wasn't he?
He held his hands in a nonchalant manner.
"Yo? Mr. Zhuang?"
"Have your naval forces and the Liao people seen Zhenzhang on the Huanglong River?"
"No wonder it took ten years to arrive."
"Shen thought that Chanzhou was really desperate."
Zhuang Mingyang is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.
How could he not hear the sarcasm in Shen Lin's words?
But this guy's face has long been as thick as a city wall.
Embarrassed?
What is that?
Can it be eaten?
He pointed at the thousands of sleek war horses on the pier and smiled cheerfully.
"No!"
"We don't do business once or twice anymore."
"Shen Lin, this guerrilla is here to give you money."
"I want all of these horses!"
