Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 378 Jing Haijun!
When Lao Zhu heard Princess Lin'an's complaint, he became short of breath on the spot.

"Good good!"

"Let's not talk anymore, as long as you are all well, we will die with peace in our eyes!"

Seeing what her father said, Princess Lin'an turned her anger into joy and filled Lao Zhu with a bowl of egg drop soup.

The things Lao Zhu likes to eat are not expensive things. A bowl of egg drop soup with a few green vegetable leaves can make him dry two bowls of rice.

While Lao Zhu was enjoying family happiness with his beloved daughter, Zhu Yunxie had already started a busy day.

Zhu Yunxi first went to the iron workshop outside the Taiping Gate to watch the transplantation of the steam engine.

Although the iron workshop only changed the power source from water power to steam power, the transmission device of the workshop should also be adjusted and modified appropriately.

After Zhu Yunxi visited the reconstruction work of the steam workshop, he went straight to the scientific research institute located in the Hope Academy. After giving some instructions on the work of the steam spinning machine and textile machine, he changed into a set of casual clothes for the students in the key class. The students went to lecture.

There is no way, at present, his position as a lecturer is irreplaceable, and he can only do it himself.

While Zhu Yunxi was holding chalk and explaining advanced mathematics and physics courses to the students, the Jing Navy camp outside the city also welcomed a new commander.

Because Zhu Yunxi had just abolished the Minister of the Ministry of War, plus a minister of the Ministry of War, and a few small figures in the Ministry of War, the entire six ministries were very respectful to him.

Of course, this is also related to Zhu Yunxi not directly slashing them with a knife and changing their sentence again.

After all, everyone came out to be an official to make a living. Who wouldn't want to have a good-tempered boss?

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Officials clearly saw that there was something wrong with the imperial decree, and at first glance it was not the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor, so they issued the document to Li Qi very simply.

What's more, it took them only an hour to finish what could have been done in at least three days.

Li Qi held the document with the ink still not dry, and couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart.

If it were ten years ago, when his father was still alive, no one would dare to procrastinate on the paperwork just because of his father's face, regardless of the face of the emperor's grandson or the crown prince!

Li Qi was slightly moved, and took the paperwork to report.

He has been idle for many years, and he feels like a useless person if he doesn't do anything.

When Li Qi came outside the Jinghai Navy camp, he just looked at the barracks and felt that they were different from other barracks in Ming Dynasty.

There are no barriers, barricades or other barriers here, only whitewashed brick walls and large painted iron gates.

Looking in through the gaps in the iron gate, you can't see the tents, only rows of neat and orderly houses.

Li Qi was very satisfied with this, let alone the strength of the barracks, just talking about the environment would beat all the troops of Ming Dynasty.

When Li Qi was lying on the crack of the door and looking around, he suddenly heard a loud shout from inside.

"who!"

"This is an important place for the military camp, and idlers are not allowed to spy on it!"

Hearing this, Li Qi quickly stood up straight and looked at the soldier who was speaking indifferently.

"I'm the new Commander!"

"Is there any paperwork?"

"Have!"

"Bring it!"

Li Qi handed in the document, and just about to say a few words, he saw Xiao Bing explaining a few words to the people next to him, and ran away erratically.

"What about people!"

"What do you mean, are you afraid that the official is a fake?"

When Li Qi was so angry that he was jumping, Fu Youde saw the appointment document sent by the soldier, and Fu Youde couldn't help but smiled and threw it to Tang He who was sitting next to him in a wheelchair.

"The real commander of the Jing Navy is here!"

Tang He looked at the appointment document, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"How old are we both, and we are still arguing with a junior?"

"However, Li Qi is also considered lucky. If someone else gets involved with his family, even if they don't die, this life will be useless."

"You still want to come out to be an official, and you still want to hold military power?"

"Go dream!"

Fu Youde laughed teasingly when he heard the words.

"I can't help it, who will make people marry well!"

When Tang He heard this, he suddenly lost his temper with laughter, and cursed while laughing.

"How come you have caught Feng Dazui's fault!"

"Don't forget, your son is also a son-in-law and married His Majesty's daughter!"

Fu Youde laughed.

"Just kidding!"

"However, the old man has known for a long time that I am a temporary commander. As long as His Majesty finds a suitable person, he will immediately kick me aside."

Tang He heard the words and nodded.

"It's inevitable!"

"His Majesty's power needs to be handed over, and our rights also need to be handed over."

"It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has a good grandson, and we don't have a good grandson in our family!"

Hearing this, Fu Youde couldn't help sighing.

This is the most helpless thing. They worked hard to earn a title, but when it came time to inherit it, they found that none of the children in the family were successful.

"never mind!"

"Don't think about that for now, let's go meet the Commander!"

When Tang He heard this, his eyelids drooped on the spot.

"Don't go!"

"The old man is also an elder. Even if the superior sees the old man, he has to call the old man an old man. How can he greet the juniors of the Li family?"

Fu Youde is much younger than Lao Zhu and Tang He, but now that he hears Tang He Yilao selling the old, he is unwilling to greet him.

"All right!"

"Let's just sit here and wait for that boy Li Qi to come and pay us a visit!"

"Order someone to open the gate of the camp, and let the new commander come in!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Li Qi came to the value room led by Xiao Bing. After seeing Tang Shuai sitting in the value room, Li Qi's little resentment dissipated in an instant.

He originally thought there was only one Fu Youde, but he didn't expect that there was actually a Mr. Tang hidden in the little Jing Haijun!

"The younger generation has met Uncle Tang and Uncle Fu."

Fu Youde said with a straight face, in a businesslike tone.

"It doesn't matter about closeness here, it's just about military position!"

"I am the commander of the capital, and you will be my deputy in the future."

"Here are the regulations of the Jing Navy, and Ji Xiao's new book written by the emperor's grandson himself. Take it back and read it carefully. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

"Your room value..."

"Come here, take Li Tongzhi to his room!"

"promise!"

Seeing this scene, Li Qi had no choice but to put down the idea of ​​reminiscing with Fu Youde and Tang Shuai, holding a pile of paperwork on the table, and followed the soldier outside to his guard room.

After Li Qi left, Fu Youde smiled and shook his head.

"It's still too young, far worse than Li Xiangguo back then!"

Tang He echoed the words.

"Li Xiangguo was praised by the superior as a great talent comparable to Xiao He, how could this kid Li Qi be comparable?"

"However, it's a little unreasonable for you not to talk about such a sympathy at all?"

Fu Youde laughed when he heard this.

"What can't be said?"

"This kid is obviously brought by the emperor's grandson to contain me, no matter how I try to get along with him, it's useless!"

"Let's put it this way, the biggest value of this kid is to sing against me!"

Hearing this, Tang He gave Fu Youde a thumbs up.

In the military of Ming Dynasty, there were not many people whom Tang He could look up to, and Fu Youde was definitely number one.

Because Fu Youde knows how to advance and retreat, knows the importance, has never been in love with power and position, and has been thinking about how to retreat bravely and protect himself wisely.

Fu Youde took out a new book by Ji Xiao from the drawer and threw it to Tang He.

"Tang Shuai, don't be idle, help the emperor to perfect this book!"

Tang He took the book and flipped through it, gritted his teeth and said.

"His grandma's, I don't know who compiled the book of war for the emperor's grandson, but he compiled it so well!"

Fu Youde laughed when he heard this, and took out another copy from the drawer.

Almost everyone in their barracks has a copy of this book, and all officers with more than a hundred households in the army must read this book by heart.Even if you can't memorize it backwards, you have to mention the previous sentence and know the next sentence.

Moreover, the exam is held every ten days and a half months. Whoever does well in the exam will be promoted, and those who do poorly in the exam will be directly demoted to a higher level.

Now Jing Haijun's drills, training, passwords, etc., are all in accordance with the practice in this book, and even Fu Youde and Tang He can't interfere.

At the beginning, the two were quite upset, and they always wanted to use their years of experience to correct it.

However, after seeing the training subjects and training effects, the two veterans collectively shut up and hid in the duty room to study the book of war, and racked their brains to find faults.

"Although it's difficult to pick faults, you have to pick a few, otherwise it seems that the two of us are too incompetent..."

While Fu Youde and Tang He were racking their brains to find faults, Li Qi also opened Ji Xiao's new book and read it carefully.

Compared with Jing Haijun's daily regulations, Ji Xiao's new book is much more interesting.

At the very least, he didn't have to guess why drinking unboiled water was banned in the military, why there were more than 30 health regulations written...

However, after reading Ji Xiao's new book for a while, Li Qi was shocked by the content of the book.

This military book is so well written, it almost teaches people how to select, train, and use soldiers hand in hand!
Even a person like him who has no military knowledge at all, after reading this book, knows how to command and train an army.

After Li Qi was excited, he ran to Fu Youde's room and asked excitedly.

"Master Du Commander, may I ask if this military book was written by the two Dukes?"

Tang He and Fu Youde were finding fault with the chapter on short soldiers in the book, when they suddenly heard Li Qi's words, they all felt as if they had eaten fly droppings.

"no!"

"How could we two useless people write such a good book of war!"

"what?"

Li Qi heard Fu Youde's lion's roar, and immediately retreated with a depressed face.

It wasn't made up by the two old men, could it be made up by the emperor's grandson?

impossible!
How old is the emperor's grandson, and how many battles have he fought?
Could it be sapphire?
Li Qi turned the book to the last page and saw the words "Zhu Yunxi" written in the author column, and immediately knew why the two veterans were angry.

The grandson of the emperor really dared to write...

It's just that he didn't think about it, even if he said that he wrote this book, would anyone believe it?

Li Qi doesn't believe it either, but Li Qi firmly believes that this book of war has never been done before, and there will be no one to come after, and it is definitely worth pondering seriously.

Li Qi originally wanted to read Ji Xiao's new book carefully in the value room, but he didn't expect to read it for two hours before he heard a rush of drums outside the window.

At this moment, Fu Youde pushed open the door of his room and yelled at him.

"It's time for dinner, why don't you go to the cafeteria for some food?"

"canteen?"

Seeing Li Qi acting like a silly bird, Fu Youde patted his head angrily.

"Almost forgot, the first day you came here, you don't understand many of the rules here."

"Come with the old man, the old man will take you to the cafeteria!"

Hearing this, Li Qi hurriedly followed Fu Youde outside.

Fu Youde led Li Qi to a house closest to the value house, and pointed to several houses of the same specification in the distance.

"This is the first canteen, also called the officers' canteen."

"But it's not all officers, people from the barracks also eat here."

Fu Youde led Li Qi into the cafeteria, but Li Qi looked at the sergeants standing neatly under the steps and asked puzzledly.

"Why don't they go in?"

"Do they have to wait for the officers to finish eating before they can go in and eat?"

Fu Youde sneered when he heard this.

"how is this possible?"

"This place is the least particular about these formalities."

"In the Jinghai Navy camp, except for the emperor's grandson, you and I don't have to queue up. Everyone else has to queue up for dinner according to their army number."

"Because the canteen is too small and there are too many sergeants, it cannot accommodate so many people to eat together at the same time, so they can only eat in several batches."

Li Qi nodded upon hearing this, feeling that his strange knowledge had increased again.However, just as he was thinking this way, a loud singing voice suddenly came from behind him.

Seeing this, Li Qi hurriedly turned his head and saw the soldiers standing at the bottom of the steps just now, singing a military song with a weird tune.

What surprised him even more was that several phalanxes sang differently, as if they were trying to compare whose voice was louder.

One side sings about Falling Leaves, Green Flowers of the Army, and the other side sings what is in the heart, homesickness and so on.

Seeing that Fu Youde had entered the door, Li Qi hurried after him to inquire.

"Commander, what kind of tricks are you doing outside the door?"

Fu Youde was holding his hands behind his back, and stretched his head to look at the vegetable bowls in the dining window, to see if there were any dishes he liked.Hearing Li Qi's question, he said angrily.

"I don't know why, old man!"

"It's not the emperor's grandson's order, saying that singing can lift your spirits!"

"Anyway, what the grandson of the emperor said is reasonable, let's just do it!"

"Old Fan, bring me a portion of the braised pork, as well as the fried yellow croaker and stir-fried vegetables!"

"It's fine to order any rice, I'll let it go, I'll have to eat it when I get home at night!"

When the cooking chef heard this, he quickly agreed.

"okay!"

"One piece of braised pork, one piece of yellow croaker... By the way, Commander-in-Chief, there is a fresh fried squid from Danzhou today, do you want to have a taste?"

"The one with the crunchy bite?"

"Yep!"

"Then let's have one, it's just right for the food and drink!"

After Fu Youde finished ordering the food, he went to the side to eat. Li Qi looked at all kinds of dishes and felt that his scalp was numb.

Whose sergeant eats so well?

According to the emperor's grandson's way of raising soldiers, the annual cost should not exceed one million taels!

Although Li Qi felt distressed, he was unequivocal when ordering. He ordered one portion of each dish.

Seeing this, the cooking chef couldn't help reminding.

"My lord, there are rules in our barracks, no matter whether it is an officer or a soldier, no leftovers are allowed."

"Whoever has leftovers will be punished with a whip!"

Hearing this, Li Qi hurriedly removed a few dishes.

It was his first day in Jinghai Haijun today, and he didn't want to be whipped for such a trivial matter.

Li Qi came to Fu Youde's table with a plate and sat down, and asked.

"Is this how everyone in the army eats?"

"Yes!"

"How much did you spend that month?"

"Are you asking about meals, or all of them?"

"Have a meal!"

"The monthly food silver is nearly 3 taels."

When Li Qi heard this, he secretly clicked his tongue.

What kind of army does the emperor's grandson raise? It's a gold swallowing beast!

"May I ask Commander Du, how much is the total military expenditure every month?"

"That's more!"

"If you count everything, let's say less than 10 taels a month!"

"That's not counting the loss of ordnance during training. If you count everything, it will only be more!"

"Uh uh..."

When Li Qi heard this, he was so surprised that he even forgot to eat.

If Fu Youde hadn't lied to himself, wouldn't the emperor grandson's Jing Haijun cost more than 100 million taels of silver a year?

This is just a recruit, a recruit who just eats, sleeps, and trains every day!
If there is a war in the future, the daily money will not be like running water.

"How much did the court allocate..."

When Fu Youde heard this, he was also a little angry.

Originally, he wanted to show his old face and asked the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households for some money.But the people from the household department and the military department, after hearing about the food expenses here, were unwilling to give it up.

According to what they said, the monthly expenditure of the frontier army who has been fighting the Tartars is less than half of yours.If we allocate more funds to you, the frontier army will not be able to collectively rebel!

Therefore, Fu Youde spent half a month in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he didn't get a penny.

"No money!"

"Now Jing Haijun is raised by the grandson of the emperor!"

"The salary of the commander of the old man is all issued by the emperor's grandson!"

After Fu Youde finished speaking angrily, he said to Li Qi earnestly.

"It's actually quite the right way for you to come to Jinghai Navy."

"You haven't been in the army before, and you haven't developed the bad habits of other troops. You can easily adapt to the rhythm here."

"Old man, I can't do it anymore. Everywhere in the barracks is not pleasing to the eye, but I can't get my hands on it everywhere. I always feel that I can't keep up with the pace of the emperor's grandson!"

After Fu Youde said these words, he ate his food, threw down the plate and ran away after eating.

Normally, Fu Youde should have delivered the dinner plate to the designated location, but who made him the biggest official in the Jing Navy, as long as the emperor grandson is not around, no one can control him.

While pondering Fu Youde's words, Li Qi ate with his heart full of thoughts, thinking about how to gain a foothold in Jinghai Navy in the future.

While he was thinking about these things, a young sergeant saluted and placed the dinner plate on his table.

"Report, can I sit here?"

Seeing that it was a soldier standing guard at his door during the day, Li Qi immediately smiled at him.

"can!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bing sat down and ate his meal in big mouthfuls.Looking at the way he was gobbling it up, it looked like he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.

Li Qi was thinking about how to carry out his work. Seeing Xiaobing eating like this, he hurriedly showed his humanistic care.

"Eat slowly!"

"There's no one here to grab you!"

The little soldier didn't raise his head, and muttered.

"Have!"

"If you eat slowly, you can't serve it for the second time..."

Xiao Bing ate up all the food on the plate, hurriedly ran to line up, and filled another plate of rice.

Li Qi keenly discovered that the amount of rice served by Xiaobing was different twice, and the first time was obviously much less, only about half a plate of rice.The second time there was a lot more, a big plate full of rice piled up like a hill.

Xiaobing finished his meal again, happily returned to Fu Youde's table, and began to eat slowly.

Seeing this, Li Qi asked curiously.

"Is the amount of rice in your two servings different?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bing hurriedly "shushed".

"Shh!"

"This is my stealing skill!"

"If you put too much in the first time, you won't be able to grab the chance to add more food when you eat all the rice on the plate!"

Li Qi asked in bewilderment.

"The grandson of the emperor won't let you have enough food?"

The soldier immediately shook his head and said.

"no no!"

"The emperor's grandson is a good person. He is afraid that we will not have enough to eat. He is in charge of the cafeteria. In order to prevent us from leftovers, he always cooks fewer meals for a few people."

"If you eat slowly, won't someone be hungry?"

"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"Wang Jianlin!"
