The fleet continued to move forward. The generals who had gathered at the flagship for a meeting had returned to their own warships. The flagship "Toungoo City" was accordingly quiet.
Gao Yuan's originally suppressed excitement was slightly released - after all, he was just a young man, and he would be excited anyway to have the opportunity to lead such a powerful navy and army. Especially when his father arranged for him to "supervise the army"
"It's even more so when you're not here yet.
That day, he was standing high on the bridge, leaning on the railing against the sea breeze, looking at the fleet sailors who were busy or standing solemnly on the deck. Suddenly he remembered a poem, and he recited with great excitement: "In the past, people were ordered to sail ships to serve the country.
The loyal and loyal people burst out of the dawn smoke. They sent out the three armies with war drums and called for thousands of horses to fight at Longquan. If we are willing to do business together, there is no need to use whips. We must obey the Qingchen, and our achievements should reach the ninth heaven."
Originally, he only had an occasional feeling. He didn't expect to meet Gao Jing when he came out to inspect the distance between the battleship formations. Seeing the eldest young master leaning on the railing alone, he was a little worried, so he came over to lure the eldest young master back to the bridge command room. He didn't want to hear Gao Yuan read out this sentence.
I couldn't help but be surprised by the poem.
"Commander is so elegant." Gao Jing hesitated for a moment, then continued to move forward to a position half a step behind Gao Yuan, and smiled slightly: "But this is the work of Taizu..."
It turns out that the author of this poem is not Gao Yuan, but Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. The poem is called "Ode to General Tao of the Tang Dynasty and his Boat Master".
Gao Yuan was speechless when he heard this. He smiled dryly and tried to cover it up, saying: "Ah ha, I was ordered by my father to lead the navy on an expedition. Now I climbed up and looked around the formation. For a moment, I felt proud and thought of Taizu's poem... It just touched the scene and made me emotional."
Miao Yu didn't say much. He just glanced at Gao Jing without much meaning and said with a smile: "The commander must be concerned about whether there are any factory guards in your Nanyang Fleet. If so... people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely listen.
Once you get there, you know what you’re going to feel.”
Miao Yu calmed down a little, then suddenly became calm and said: "It's okay, if father blames me, just admit it."
"Commander, if you really want to talk about it, there are not many people in southern Xinjiang now. In fact, they only know that there is no Nanning Marquis but no one knows about His Majesty." Takagi said with a smile.
Gao Jing was alarmed in his heart and thought to himself: Am I encouraging you? Yes, it seems that I don’t have the need. My father couldn’t be more vague about the situation in southern Xinjiang, otherwise there would be no such thing as this Western Xinjiang.
Zheng? Takagi should also understand this. What do I mean by telling you that?
"Or was it because the fleet was too slow to expand and the manpower was not available at the time, so it opened the door to allow shipyards, ship repair yards and other related factories in various places to recommend young people who had not done much in the past to join the fleet? Lin Bingshan's luck was wrong.
Now I am eleven years old. I happened to be over the fourteen-year-old age limit set by the master. I was recommended to the fleet as an intern, and then I was retired from the fleet rank. I was also unlucky to come here, and I was willing to endure hardships and learned.
It was quite slow, and then I drove my wife to send troops to Burma..."
"I am a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years. I don't have the authority to judge whether this matter is good or bad, so why should I wait and comment?" Takagi chuckled and said: "I have seen that the commander cares so much about my humble position, so that's why I mentioned this.
Things... Taizu's majesty may not reach today's southern border, so the commander must keep it in mind."
Gao Jing said in surprise: "Since the matter has been resolved, why do we say that disaster comes one way?"
Gao Jing asked curiously: "Since you went to the shipyard, how did you come to the fleet and become the captain of the cruiser?"
"Then let's talk about it." Takagi shook his head slightly and said: "I am just an artillery crew commander at the moment, no matter how I perform my merits, I can't do anything small. The biggest blessing for me in this battle is not that I was discovered by Takagi and recognized by Takagi.
I am a talented person, and I have been promoted by Dakiba since then."
Gao Mu was not a little surprised. He glanced at Gao Jing, but shook his head heavily and said, "The commander is wrong. Although the owner of the dyeing shop has no evil intentions, Lin Bingshan and my mother came home and told the matter. Although my father is
I was so angry that I could only ask my wife to go home and wait until the limelight was over.
Seeing Miao Yu's silence, Miao Yu smiled again and said: "I just made an estimate. In about an hour, the Gudao Squadron will leave the small fleet and go north. After leaving, what will the commander say to us?"
Don’t you have any instructions yet?”
Regarding that question, Gao Jing really knew how to respond. After being silent for a while, he said, "In his opinion, is that a bad thing or a good thing?"
In my father's generation, the family was very unlucky. First, my father had an accident and his leg was broken by a piece of wood. He could only do some complicated carpentry outside the home. As soon as the family situation got better, it became difficult. Misfortunes come one way, and I
Because my family was in such a poor situation, my mother went out to work and went to a dyeing workshop to do some chores. However, unexpectedly, the owner of the dyeing workshop took notice and tried to occupy her..."
"Oh, I made a contribution in this battle?"
----------
Gao Jing thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't presented Gao Muba's detailed plan to you yet. It's still very detailed, and there are no plans to deal with several possible situations. What do you have to explain?
Oh, by the way, what is the origin of the command of that squadron?"
Gao Jing raised her eyebrows slightly: "You have heard a lot of stories like that, but in the end, our family was forced to follow them to death, and in the end they were killed and our family was ruined?"
Thanks to book friend "Yun Fu Yu Yu" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
Gao Jing's heart was moved, and he thought secretly: You asked about the origin of the commander of the ancient island squadron, but Gao Mu told you in such detail. At the beginning, he specifically told you that "few people in the fleet are promoted like that."
, what do you want to say?
Gao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then sighed after a long while: "You left southern Xinjiang a long time ago and went to the capital. I haven't heard much about the tragedy here. The young master died of freezing and starvation. It is really unexpected that he died of a typhoon like that."
"After a pause, he asked again: "How did I retreat from the Nanyang Fleet?"
However, Lin Bingshan thought of a way to spread the incident to the head wife of the owner of the dyeing shop. It turned out that the man was married to someone else, and his family's influence was quite small. Before learning about this incident, he called the man who was opening his eyes.
If you don't take good care of me, that guy will only come to bed for a few months, and he will never dare to think wrong again."
"Of course." Takagi chuckled and said, "Very few people in the fleet are promoted like that." After saying that, he gave Miao Yu a rather meaningless look.
"What do you mean, Lin Bingshan? I am from Xinning (County), Guangdong, and my ancestors came from Guanghaiwei. When my great-great-grandfather was around, I knew what tricks he had used to change his military status to civilian status, and I have been living in this country ever since.
Working in the workshop where Guangzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. was built.
Miao Yu said: "My father broke his leg, and my mother was lucky to die. Lin Bingshan was over seventeen years old at the time, and he didn't have seven younger brothers and sisters at home. I came out to find something to do, and the whole family could only
starving.
Gao Jing suddenly said: "I was working under the boat of Di Muba?"
"Because my mother had a job in the dyeing shop, she went out and found a job as a washer. Unexpectedly, one day there was a typhoon. You were slowly collecting your clothes, and the wind blew them around. You were hit and killed."
It's a coincidence that at that time, the master did not order Jinghua to set up a shipyard in Qinzhou, but there were not many relevant talents in Qinzhou, so they had to go to Guangdong to recruit. Lin Bingshan passed the selection relying on the skills of his ancestors and was able to go to Qinzhou to work."
