Chapter 160 Brother-in-law's Backstab, Navy Builds Warships? 【Ask monthly ticket】

"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

In Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying and his palace servants greeted him respectfully.

"My beloved concubine is free." Seeing this, Wei Yunyi immediately showed a smile on his face.

Recently, because he has been practicing all the time, so there are few visitors to the harem. Even if he wants to know about the memorial, he comes and goes in a hurry.

So after seeing each other, thinking about what happened recently, I couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable.

At the same time, I thought, I haven't seen the queen for a few days.

After leaving, go to Kunshou Palace.

My brother-in-law has already gone to Gaoyang, and my father-in-law has been busy with the household affairs recently.

The queen is pregnant now, and there is no one else around except the maids.

Unlike Concubine Ying, she can read memorials every day to relieve boredom.

shook his head.

Wei Yunyi didn't think about it any more, but walked towards the inside together with the other party, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Haizhou Navy Division handed over the brochure yesterday. Why, is there something wrong?"

Now my brother-in-law is serving as the commander-in-chief of the navy, because some time ago.

The other party said that the pirates are about to move recently.

Therefore, the right to use troops at critical times was given.

He has also received some news in the past few days, knowing that the coastal area is not very stable recently.

Thinking about it, at this time my brother-in-law sent the booklet, no doubt for one thing.

That is the coastal area, and it is very likely that a war will break out.

In this regard.

Wei Yunyi was indeed concerned.

He doesn't care if he can win the battle, in fact, it would be better if he loses.

But I don't want the soldiers to suffer too much loss, and I don't want to implicate the common people.

Therefore, when he asked this question, he was still a little apprehensive.

And Zhao Lingying, after hearing the question.

Immediately with a smile on his face, he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, my brother personally wrote the report, saying that only the navy headquarters in Haizhou was attacked by the pirate army led by the remnants of the former royal family."

"This time the pirates directly dispatched hundreds of warships and 6 to [-] people. It can be said that they have assembled the most elite troops."

"Brother said, this is the remnant of the former royal family, trying to occupy Haizhou and invade my Wei Jiangnan mansion."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yunyi was taken aback.

He knew that those remnants of the former royal family had escaped to the sea.

They have been subduing the pirates who are licking blood on the tip of their swords. It is said that the effect is also very good, and they have developed a pretty good force on the sea.

Therefore, in the following time, they continued to attack the coastal areas.Of course, because of the vain attempt to restore the country, those remnants did not dare to use their own name for fear of affecting the plan.

And relying on those pirates and the money they robbed, those people in the previous dynasty became more and more powerful.

Rumor has it that a small imperial court was directly established, still using the name of Da Yuan.

In recent years, the coastal areas of Great Wei and the surrounding islands.

The reason why I have been uneasy.

It's all because of the so-called Great Yuan.

Now, the opponent has assembled the most elite forces and chose to invade the navy headquarters at this time.

Fifty to sixty thousand people, and all of them are vicious pirates, made Wei Yunyi feel a little worried.

But he knew that his brother-in-law didn't have to worry about the military at all. Even though he had never fought a naval battle, but thinking about it, the pirates directly invaded the naval camp. Obviously, the battle was on land, not at sea.

In this way, the brother-in-law should not lose much in the battle with those pirates.

However, Wei Yunyi did not continue to think, but said directly: "What did you say in the memorial?"

Since the other party can still hand over the booklet, nothing should happen.

Moreover, even Concubine Ying was not nervous.

The situation should not be serious.

Sure enough, after hearing the question, Zhao Lingying smiled even more intensely, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, our naval division has won a complete victory in this battle. Escape!"

"Brother said that after this battle, within ten years, there will be no more major wars in the coastal areas!"

Those pirates were all developed after decades.

Now as many as [-] to [-] have been wiped out.

The rest will surely be deterred.

For a while, he would never dare to choose to invade Wei again.

Zhao Lingying was very happy, because she knew that after her brother won this victory, all the previous crimes at Zhenbeiguan could be written off.

After all, this is the biggest victory since the establishment of the Navy, and it has never been seen before. I believe that the rumors about Shenwuhou's Mansion will also disappear.

That's right, since Zhao Jiguang was removed from the position of General Zhenbei and served as the commander-in-chief of the Navy.

Many civil servants and generals in the imperial court felt that the Marquis of Shenwu's Mansion might be on the verge of decline.

I can only rely on the old Hou Ye to support it.

After all they think.

Hasn't His Majesty been promoting the Song family recently?

In addition, Uncle Xiaoguo destroyed the country in the first battle and was named the champion. It is clear that he wants to divide the Zhao family's military power.

But now, my elder brother has led his soldiers to make a great contribution, and it is the first achievement since the establishment of the Navy. I believe that those people in the court will all shut up.

But unlike Zhao Lingying's joy, when Wei Yunyi heard this, his expression changed completely.

From the opponent's previous reaction, he knew that the navy would definitely have nothing to lose in this battle.

Perhaps under the leadership of my brother-in-law, I have achieved some small results.

Unexpectedly.

Zhao Jiguang actually won a complete victory in this battle.

All those pirates were also wiped out and captured, so that there will be no major wars in the coastal areas in the next ten years.
This was completely beyond Wei Yunyi's expectations, because his idea was very simple, that is, he felt that his brother-in-law had military talent, and the navy just wasn't strong enough, so he could become stronger than before under the control of the other party.

Of course, it can't be too strong, as long as it can stop those pirates and protect the people, it will be fine.

In this way, the national fortune will not be affected and grow.

But it is possible to keep the people from being disturbed.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But now?

The first battle of my brother-in-law established the stability of the coastal area for the next ten years.

Doesn't that mean that the coastal prefectures can take advantage of this time to recuperate and develop with peace of mind.

In this way, the luck will definitely rise.

At this moment, Wei Yunyi was very helpless.

Because he didn't know what to say at all, why did he feel that everything was beyond his expectations?

The younger brother-in-law destroyed the country, the older brother-in-law solved the problem of pirates, and the father-in-law succeeded in reforming the law, so that luck continued to grow, and the country became more and more prosperous. As the emperor, he was really speechless to the extreme.

If you are a Mingjun, then there is nothing to say, just lying down can make the national power climb to the top.

But now, the most important thing is to suppress luck, to become a faint king.

Wei Yunyi was extremely tired.

Looking at Concubine Ying beside her, she couldn't help but put on a smiling face at last, and said, "Okay, very good, my brother-in-law has done a good job, I want to be rewarded, I must be rewarded!"

He said he wanted to reward him, but he really didn't know how to reward him.

Because in his heart, he really didn't want to do this.

Was backstabbed.

Still have to give rewards.
Of course Wei Yunyi was unwilling.

Of course, you don't have to think about this kind of thing yourself, just hand it over to the cabinet at that time.

"By the way, Your Majesty, brother has one more thing." At this time, Zhao Lingying seemed to think of something, and said: "Brother said that since this time, although there will be no more wars in the coastal areas for many years, it cannot be taken lightly, so I hope With His Majesty's approval, the navy can use the surplus military pay to build their own warships!"

After saying this, Zhao Lingying's face was very helpless.

She knew that besides looking at sea charts, her elder brother specialized in building various warships.

But such a thing as building a warship, even a shipwright who has been immersed in this way for decades cannot do it.

The only way is to let those people from the Ministry of Industry cooperate.

After all, warships are different from other things. Once something goes wrong, it will cost you your life.

So when Zhao Lingying saw her brother's memorial for the first time, she felt that she could not agree, but after thinking about it, what the other party used was only the military salary allocated by the court to the navy.

In fact, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, after discussing with all the commanders, in addition to ensuring the daily training needs of the soldiers under his command, he can handle it by himself.

Furthermore, she also knew that just some time ago, His Majesty had just increased the military pay for the navy.

So guess, my brother may use the silver to build ships.

As for Wei Yunyi.

After hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment.

Because he never expected that his brother-in-law would have the idea of ​​building a warship.

This is not a simple matter. It takes at least a year or so for the Ministry of Industry to produce a blueprint of a warship.

It is even more difficult to build a warship according to the drawings. Wei Yunyi knows very well that the main body of Wei's warship is almost made of wood, so it is even more difficult, and all conditions must be met.

My brother-in-law seems to have been taught by Marquis Shenwu since he was a child.

Is there still some research on shipbuilding?

But it doesn't make sense, does it?

How can the other party have the time and energy?

As far as I know, Zhao Jiguang has been guarding the northern border since he was in his 20s. There is a powerful grassland army there, and it takes a lot of energy just to defend.

Wei Yunyi didn't quite understand this, but so what?

Now my brother-in-law has made great contributions.

What he is most afraid of is that the opponent will take advantage of the victory and pursue them in the next time, and eradicate all the pirates along the coast one by one, and then completely wipe out the remnants of the royal family from the previous dynasty.

In this way, there is really no threat to the coastal area anymore.

It's not a good thing for me who wants to curb my luck.

Since my brother-in-law wants to build a warship.

It would be better to agree.

In this way, it is convenient for you not to continue to fight those pirates, and turn your head to concentrate on how to build warships.

Of course, there is a more important point, that is, if the navy starts to build warships, doesn't that mean that he can borrow more names and continue to pay the navy?

Wei Yunyi knew very well that it seemed that there was no money on the accounts of the household department, but it was only temporary.

The Great Wei Dynasty possessed the heritage of the Mingjun of the Five Dynasties who worked hard to govern.

It is only a temporary lack of money, which may have an impact, but it is definitely not big.

Therefore, you must find a way to follow and spend money.

Although the two major projects cost a lot of money, the speed of spending money was too slow to put great pressure on the Wei Dynasty.

That's why he chose to repair the gate of Longhu Mountain before, in order to find more ways to spend money.Now that my brother-in-law has the idea of ​​building a warship, why don't I actually support it?

At this moment, the more Wei Yunyi thought about it, the more certain he became in his heart, and felt that this method was feasible.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat, looked at Zhao Lingying, with the same smile on his face, and then said: "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to have such an idea. Very good, I'm sure, but building warships is not only for water. The master is also the imperial court, how can the navy master pay the money by himself? Absolutely not."

"My concubine, in my name, you issue an edict to the cabinet that the navy will pay for building warships from the imperial court!"

What?Your Majesty agrees?
Do you want the court to pay for your brother to build a warship?
Hearing this, Zhao Lingying was completely stunned, her expression was full of disbelief.

Originally, I thought that His Majesty would dismiss this and even scold my brother.

But the current situation was completely beyond her expectations.

His Majesty not only agreed.

They still have to ask the court to pay.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be too good?" Zhao Lingying paused for a moment, and then said: "In fact, the Ministry of Industry can be involved. In this way, with the help of officials from the Ministry of Industry, my brother may build a warship more smoothly. a bit."

She still knows her brother well.

Relying solely on one's own abilities, one would certainly not be able to build any warships.

If there is help from the Ministry of Industry, it will be different. No matter how one or two ships can be produced, they can explain to His Majesty and the court!
But Wei Yunyi shook his head immediately after hearing this, and said directly: "No, the navy wants to fight at sea, and knows more about warships than anyone else. Besides, didn't my brother-in-law already say that the navy wants to fight at sea? Build warships alone? So, don’t let the Ministry of Industry get involved.”

Just kidding, what he wants is for the navy to build warships without any problems. It is best to spend money and get nothing.

But if the Ministry of Industry is involved, what if a good warship is really built?
Doesn't this inadvertently increase the combat effectiveness of the navy?

So whatever.

Wei Yunyi did not allow the Ministry of Industry to participate.

"what?"

Zhao Lingying was shocked when she heard this.

But soon, a deep emotion rose in his heart.

Because she felt that the reason why His Majesty did not allow the Ministry of Industry to participate was because of his absolute trust in his brother.

And why trust your brother?It's because you love yourself, otherwise how can you explain all this?It should be noted that building a warship is a matter of national importance, it cannot be sloppy, and requires a lot of money.

Now that the imperial court is short of money, every penny needs to be spent wisely, just look at the recent books.

Therefore, it is best to have the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry to build warships.

But His Majesty trusted his brother wholeheartedly.

Just believe in yourself!
At this moment, Zhao Lingying was moved, but she didn't show it. She just bowed slightly and said, "Thank you Your Majesty, the concubine knows it!"
