RPAGF Chapter 122: Forming a Navy
Chapter 122: Forming a Navy
When the armies of Ji Lingyan and Ji Xun were facing each other and the war was raging, Qi Yan'an's men finally captured Qi Yuanhong.
At this time, Qi Yan'an was sitting in the study, holding a secret letter in his hand, slowly approaching the candlelight.
Looking at the flames burning in front of him, his calm voice echoed in the study.
"Can you find out who is behind Qi Yuanhong?"
The man kneeling on the ground hurriedly told what he had found out, "My Lord, it's Prince Gong."
"Prince Gong."
Qi Yan'an repeated these words in a very soft voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, which made people shudder.
"Really, it's very good."
They had just joined forces to attack Pingyang County, but when the alliance was broken, they immediately turned on each other.
Although the person has been caught now, Qi Yanan's murder of his father and brother has become known to everyone.
It will probably take quite a while to calm it down.
"I heard that Prince Gong and the Crown Prince had a fight?"
"Yes, the battle has been going on for half a month."
"Go and get involved."
"My Lord, are you planning to join forces with the Crown Prince to attack Prince Gong?"
As I watched the secret letter in front of me slowly burn into ashes, a breeze blew in from the window, blowing all the ashes to the ground.
"He gave me such a great gift, so of course I have to prepare a return gift for him."
"As ordered."
And in the capital, people who were clearly united before are now beginning to suspect each other.
It is now June and the weather is getting hotter.
At this time, in a pavilion in the Yun Mansion.
Yun Zhi sat quietly in front of the chessboard, holding the black chess piece in one hand and the white chess piece in the other, playing chess with himself.
Behind me are lotus flowers swaying gently in the wind. The breeze brings a hint of coolness and the faint fragrance of the lotus flowers.
A hairband tied on her head was also gently blown up by the breeze.
This was the scene Liu Anruo saw when she came. At this moment, she felt that every chess piece in Yun Zhi's hand might represent a certain force today.
The world is a chessboard, and she is the one playing the chess.
Like being in the game, but also like being outside the game,
Every step of others is under her control.
Just when Liu Anruo was a little stunned, Yun Zhi's voice came from the pavilion.
"coming."
Liu Anruo blinked, came to his senses in an instant, walked quickly into the pavilion, and saluted Yun Zhi.
"Lord."
Yun Zhi placed a black dot on the ground without even looking up. "Sit down. How is the battle going now?"
Liu Anruo sat down aside and answered her question.
"My lord, the conflict between various factions is becoming increasingly fierce, and the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. Qi Yan'an has decided to intervene in the battle between Prince Gong and the Crown Prince, and Wang Yi and Xie Chengyun in the capital are also on the verge of a falling out."
"It looks like there's enough time for us to expand our territory."
Yun Zhi chuckled and placed another black piece. With this piece placed, the situation on the chessboard changed completely in an instant, and the outcome was decided.
"Play a game of chess with me?"
"it is good."
Just as the two were playing chess, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard outside.
"My lord, victory news."
"Send it up."
"Yes."
After placing the document on the table, the man left quietly.
After finishing the game of chess, Yun Zhi picked up the document and opened it.
The previous victory reports written above are all similar, just reporting the capture of a certain place and the casualties.
But this time there was something different.
"They encountered pirates."
Hearing this, Liu Anruo, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and said, "Water bandits, there aren't any serious casualties, right?"
"It wasn't a battle on the water. General Chen and his men lured the group to the shore and fought them there."
"That's good."
After putting the document aside, Yun Zhi raised her head and said, "I forgot before, we don't have a navy yet. It's time to form one."
If we have a navy, we might be able to rely on them to achieve victory by surprise.
Liu Anruo paused as he put away the chessboard. "Indeed, we didn't have many large lakes here before. Now is the time to form one."
After putting the last chess piece into the jar, Liu Anruo stood up and said, "I'll go and prepare it now."
"Recruit more navy soldiers."
For the sailors, Yunzhi will still be of great use.
Although Liu Anruo was puzzled, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Next, the recruitment of navy was put on the agenda.
After Liu Anruo left, he immediately began to organize naval affairs.
A few days later, a notice was posted on notice boards in various county towns.
"We are recruiting several sailors. The treatment is the same as that of soldiers. Anyone who is familiar with water and physically fit is welcome to apply."
As soon as this notice was issued, it caused an uproar among the people.
A group of people gathered around the notice to discuss it.
"Are you recruiting again? But what kind of navy is this? This should be the first time you're forming one."
"Yes, it seems to be the first time. I just don't know what the navy does?"
"As the name suggests, it should be a battle fought on water."
"This is a great opportunity. If I'm selected, not only will I receive a monthly salary of three taels of silver, but the navy is short of men right now, and I might even be able to make military achievements."
After this person said that, they found that it was true.
This place has just been established. Maybe if you perform well you can even get a job as an official.
For a moment, some people who were familiar with water became excited.
But naturally, some people were a little scared. "This war is not a joke. What if we lose our lives? And if the navy died in the water, we might not be able to fish them out. They would just be buried in the water."
"Wealth and honor are sought through risk. I'm not very good at studying, nor do I have the brains for business. Perhaps being a navy soldier is my way out. Everyone wait and see. When I return, I might even have an official title."
After that, he went to the barracks to register.
With him taking the lead, several more people expressed their willingness to give it a try and then turned around to sign up.
Many people from other counties also went to the registration office for the generous treatment and opportunity to make achievements.
For a moment, the people in the barracks became increasingly busy.
