Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 605 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 50
"By the way, what do you think of my suggestion?" Wang Xiukan, Shao Qing and Li Changsheng had a very gentle attitude and gave them the utmost respect.

"The ship can be transferred from the Dajiang Commander." Shao Qing said with flickering eyes.

"You can also recruit folk blessing boats to match with saury boats." Li Changsheng said without losing the opportunity.

"Once it becomes a scale, we will follow the adults' advice." Li Bao replied naturally without any hesitation.

"Okay, now that we have the troops that can go to war, do you have the confidence to go thousands of miles north and take it in one fell swoop. What I want is not to defeat it, but to wipe it out completely. I also want to capture those sea ships as much as possible." Wang Xiu's eyes flickered, full of enthusiasm. Strong willpower.

"The Dazhai on Salmon Island is not complete, but at least it can be replenished from Laizhou. As long as the Jingdong East Road supports in time, I will personally lead the army into battle and absolutely wipe out the captive fleet." Li Bao replied very resolutely, which was equivalent to issuing a military order.

Wang Xiu glanced at Shao Qing, but avoided it consciously. He had a clear plan for the bodyguard navy. Li Bao served as the commander of the deputy capital and was in charge of the affairs of the navy, but he was mainly responsible for traveling in and north. Mainly responsible for the affairs of the South China Sea, Shao Qing served as the commander of the Jianghuai stationed soldiers and horses of the bodyguard navy, and also served as the commander of the eastern part of the river, responsible for the naval warships of the river and Huai River, and each had different tasks.

Also, in his plan, the most important thing for the bodyguard water army is to set up two large fleets, which are responsible for the north and south respectively. , but everyone understands that it is definitely a coveted job, and the commander of the fleet is on the same level as the general.

"That's good. Taiwei Shao is in charge of the temporary protection of the water army. Brother Zigui leads the fleet to the north, and the second brother will go with him. You need to bring more black medicine and iron cannons, and you must make full use of it. Well, the big ships are lined up. Let the medium-sized sea-going ships come as close as possible to attack, and then use the swordfish boat to attack, the captives will be unable to resist." Wang Xiu smiled happily, and she had long thought about making a vote, and now it finally happened.

"Don't worry, sir, although the Tiger Wing First Army does not have the full amount, it still has [-] paces. As long as it gets close and rushes up, it will surely capture the warship." Li Changsheng vowed, he believed in the fighting power of his troops.

Wang Xiu was very satisfied. He didn't think Li Changsheng was arrogant. The Tiger Wing First Army was a land force that he suggested to be reorganized to form a bodyguard navy. The Second Army was being formed.In his point of view, the navy is not just fighting at sea and on the river, they want to occupy the city, how can they do without the horse infantry, that is the embryonic form of the Marine Corps!The future Song Dynasty navy needs to reach out to land.

Shao Qing's face was very ugly, and he held back for a long time before saying: "Master, the last general also wants to fight."

Wang Xiu looked at Shao Qing, shook his head and said: "Don't ignore Jianghuai, I have a hunch that the captives will never be reconciled, they are likely to go south in a big way, and Jianghuai will be at the last barrier by then, Taiwei should not underestimate it. "

Shao Qing was stunned, and his face softened a lot. Who doesn't want to make contributions, accumulate qualifications for climbing, and fight in rivers such as Huaishui and Yingshui, and have made great achievements. Since there are credits to take, there is nothing to say.

"By the way, we can't start a war for no reason. We also have to learn from our reputation and assemble the fleet on Salmon Island. Once they dare to harass the military state along the river, we will immediately destroy their naval ships."

Li Bao nodded slowly, he didn't quite agree with Wang Xiu's proposition, but he couldn't go against it, so he said: "Okay, I will monitor closely."

"After all, Shangguan Jingshu should have built the Yazhou Dazhai, and the second batch of escort ships should be returning home."

Without hesitation, Li Bao said: "Every time I come back, there are many officials who suffer from beriberi. They brought coarse grains on board, but there is still no way to cure them."

This thing is difficult to cure. The sea is humid, the environment is harsh, and the diet is also very monotonous. Naturally, it is easy to get sick.Nowadays, there is no specific medicine to treat beriberi, but eating whole grains is a very effective way, which can at least reduce the progression of the disease.

He suggested that when the fleet goes to sea, one or several ships must be vacated to carry cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, as well as a large amount of coarse grains, according to the size of the fleet, but the effect is still not obvious, after all, the living conditions on board are poor.

"In this way, when the army goes to sea, they must change their cloth socks every day, cut raw garlic into slices and put them in their shoes. Also, once they have the conditions, they must soak their feet in salt water every day. To wipe your feet, you must eat half of the coarse grains every day. For other prescriptions, use as much as you can, and keep your feet as dry as possible.”

Wang Xiu explained the way to treat beriberi. Fungus is hard to deal with, and it is almost impossible to get rid of the roots. He also eats a certain amount of coarse grains every day. Many people in the imperial court have beriberi!

Li Bao nodded. Beriberi was indeed a major problem. He also thought of many ways, but the conditions of sailing at sea were limited, and the treatment effect was not satisfactory.However, everything is under research, and even the research on penicillium extraction and disease is carried out in Yuquanshan Academy, so don't worry about these things.

"By the way, I will inform Jingdong to deliver saltpeter charcoal to Salmon Island and dispense medicine on Salmon Island. If possible, try to let the First Army go ashore for training." It was decided that it is difficult for troops that have not experienced wind and rain to be of great use. The Tiger Wing First Army is destined to become the fist of the Guards and Water Army. The Golden Army is the best whetstone. perfection.

Li Bao and the others resigned, Zong Liang came in with official documents, Wang Xiu didn't wait for him to speak, and asked, "How are the salt farms, tea farms and mines in various places doing?"

Zong Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Most of them are running well, but some are not satisfactory. After all, they have just taken over."

Wang Xiu nodded and said with a sneer, "Although salt tea makes huge profits, it is difficult to start a business, and every bit of it is hard to come by. You have to pay attention, once an official cheats the business, it will be reported immediately and severely punished."

Zong Liang understands that Wang Xiu's protection of industry and commerce has reached an unprecedented level. He has repeatedly ordered officials to disrupt industry and commerce, and not to allocate taxes under any name. Once found out, he will be dealt with severely.And allow businessmen to directly sue the state government, causing shock up and down.

"The county magistrates are also strictly restraining officials, and the phenomenon of bullying businessmen has basically disappeared, don't worry, sir."

"By the way, is there any local family that can be called extremely rich?"

"The biggest families in Hangzhou are the Shi family and the Wang family. Of course, the newcomers Shen family and Xie family are not small." Zong Liang is an opportune word, so he naturally needs to be familiar with the local conditions, especially the wealthy families, but he did not say that Wang Ji department store.

"Needless to say about the Shen family, although the patriarch of the Shen family is heading west in Hebei, and the patriarch is only a mature man, Shen Shizhi is very shrewd, but what's going on with the Xie family?" Wang Xiu asked a little strangely. asked.
