The old man had already left with the yellow crane, and there was no Yellow Crane Tower here.The yellow crane never returns, and the white clouds are gone for thousands of years.The clear rivers reveal the trees in Hanyang, and the fragrant grass covers the Parrot Island.Where is the village at dusk?The smokey river makes people sad... A melancholy but grand baritone voice spread from the Yellow Crane Tower on the top of Snake Mountain to the wind.
The person who looked up in the wind was Zhu Heng. His chin was blew in the wind and his expression was a little sad...
But the fact is that more than 30 large and small cannons have been installed on the mountain peaks near the Yellow Crane Tower. Here, it is condescending and controlling the whole city. The entire Wuchang is under the deterrence of the Vermilion Bird Army.
It was obviously a time worth celebrating, but Zhu Heng was pretending to be accustomed.
Zhang Ning on the side did not interfere with Zhu Heng's exaggerated personal performance here. Perhaps everyone has their own unique way of venting emotions, and pretentiousness is not a sin.
Looking down at the whole city from the Yellow Crane Tower, a city is in the palm of your hands. If you look south for a longer time, this place is high and you will see the entire vast land of lakes and vastness.
Zhu Heng was wearing a flowing robe, wearing a buckle on his head, and looking out in front of him with his hands behind his back. No one knew what he felt at this time.
After a loud chanting of poetry, there was a loud guzheng sound upstairs. Old man Chen from the military band closed his eyes and was lying the strings in his arms intoxicatedly.
At this moment, Zhang Ning accidentally felt a little bit.
At this moment, I heard a loud voice downstairs, destroying the artistic conception of Qingyuan's Guzheng music.Zhang Ning walked to the edge of the building and looked down. A military officer had already led a team of people to block the crowd.
There was light rain and cold wind outside the building. The young military officer seemed to be wearing very thin clothes and had no armor. Looks like Zhou Zhong, Zhou Mengxiong's son and Zhang Ning's brother-in-law.
Zhou Mengxiong's son had never joined the army before. It was not until Zhou Mengxiong became the commander of Wuchang Camp and controlled the military and political affairs of Changde and the county of Zuo Prefecture that his son worked in the Zhuque Army and followed the Xiang King's Northern Expedition, which was actually equivalent to a hostage.
Of course, Zhang Ning didn't want to die in an accident as a hostage on the battlefield, so he appointed him as a commander of the guard and just needed to stay in a safe central army.
So Zhou Zhong is not even wearing armor now. He is wearing spotless military uniforms and white collars. He is dressed as neatly as a groom. As a military officer, he is not like a warrior. The sword pressed on his waist is equivalent to decoration.
However, this person's waist was straight, which was completely different from the general's big and thick appearance, and his appearance was very elegant.
Zhou Zhong's performance when blocking the crowd made Zhang Ning look at him even more impressed. The teenager could glar at himself and shouted clearly in front of the people: Without the permission of the King of Hunan, no one is allowed to approach the Yellow Crane Tower. Those who dare to forcibly break through will be killed!
His tone and posture showed an inviolable look. After hearing this, only a dozen soldiers under him lifted the brand new mesh gun in his hand to scare people, but there was probably no ammunition in the gun. It was still a question whether these new recruits would use muskets.
Seeing this, Zhang Ning turned around and said to the accompanying general: A tiger father has no dog son.
A man in a red official uniform without a hat came up and shouted: If you want to kill, kill it!We have to bear the heavy responsibility of the court and lose our city and land. Today we are here to die!
On the Huanghe Tower, a civil servant snorted coldly after hearing this: Pretending to be hypocritical!These people can't wait, and they are coming to test the prince's attitude and how to deal with them.
Zhang Ning didn't speak, but turned around and walked to the edge of the paper-in-the-in-the-bow desk, and picked up the pen and sketched a few lines.
He picked up the paper and blew, looked back and forth, his eyes staying on Zhu Heng's eldest son Zhu Sheng.
He waved his hand and signaled Zhu Sheng, who was still a teenager, to come over, handed him the note, asked Zhu Sheng to take it to the local officials below, and told him to say a few words.
Because Zhang Ning just praised Zhou Zhonghu's father for having no dogs and sons, Zhu Heng couldn't help but feel a little comparative, so he coughed from the side and reminded: Sheng'er, what you are saying is the prince. No matter how old the people below are, they are afraid of the prince now.
Yes, father.Zhu Sheng responded quickly and took an elderly little official and two clerks down the Huanghe Tower.
He asked Zhou Zhong's people to make a way out, strode to those people, raised his hand and gestured to those people to calm down, but the bureaucrats ignored the person who was not even a bearded and didn't even look good, so they ignored him and yelled.
Zhu Sheng said: The King of Hunan wrote the order, do you want it?
Some people say they want to see King Xiang with their own eyes, while others say they should first see what it is.
A bureaucrat stepped forward to pick up the paper, and others came to see it. Someone read: Strictly order the soldiers of various battalions to invade the officials and family property of Wuchang without authorization. Those who violate the order will be punished for their death sentence by disobeying orders in front of the battlefield.
Only then did everyone stop the noise one after another.
The King of Xiang still has something to bring to you.
Zhu Sheng said, we should not be enemies.Now is not the time for you to be sad and angry. Just think of the scholars in Yashan. King Xiang is the direct descendant of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. He wore the same Han clothes and practiced the same ritual and law-abiding. I hope all scholars and officials will think of the people of the country.
After hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked up at the upper floor. There was a vague figure there; there was no laughter of celebrating, only a classical and desolate sound of piano...
……
Within two days, Zhu Heng made a statement in the form of writing: There is no one who manages river defense but does not control the naval army.
The most urgent problem facing Zhang Ning now is to build a naval army, not seeking to be invincible across the entire Yangtze River. As long as the navy is capable of blocking the Yangtze River at a specific location, it can also play a crucial role in the situation.
The Senate took three major steps to implement, selecting warships and newly built warships; recruiting naval personnel; and formulating water warfare tactics and training.
But it boils down to the fact that you must find various experts, otherwise everything will be difficult to start.
Thinking of the water battle, Zhang Ning was of course reflexive to the sail battleships in his previous life. Dozens of string cannons fired on the water together, like killing ships blocking ships. In this era, even the army camp on the shore can be killed...
But now I can only think about it, it is obviously difficult to create it.
He can design guns and continuously improve them to achieve practical performance. After all, the technical requirements of primary gunpowder guns are not high and the construction is relatively simple. But warships are different. They are not a concept of a weapon, but a comprehensive combat platform. There are too many technical details to consider, and those without experience can hardly design them.
The most reliable way is to find experienced naval forces in this era and imitate and utilize existing technologies.
Just when he was eager to seek talent, he finally had a glimpse of it, and Wang Yu brought good news to Zhang Ning.
Wang Yu was ordered to win over Xu Zixin, the former magistrate of Baling, Yuezhou. He did not expect that the two were quite similar in age. Xu Zixin later became tempted to plan with Wang Yu. In addition, Zhang Ning was still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty and his actions in the occupied areas did not conflict with the people, so he reduced the psychological burden of the scholar-official class to change the investment store.
Finally, Xu Zixin was willing to defect to him.
Later, the Senate Department issued an internal document to find talents for shipbuilding and naval management. Wang Yu, who was also in Yuezhou, wrote a letter to recommend Xu Zixin.
Yuezhou is located on the banks of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake. It has always been an important base for the Ming Navy. Local shipbuilding management is also a very important government affairs for the government.
Xu Zixin was appointed as the magistrate of Baling for nearly three years and was in charge of the manufacturing of warships on the ground. He not only knew this industry, but also knew many merchants and craftsman leaders who knew about shipbuilding and maintenance.
After hearing the news, Zhang Ning discussed with Zhu Heng and believed that the best place to establish a naval army was Yuezhou.
As long as the entrance to Dongting Lake is blocked, warships can train naval troops on the Dongting water surface without being threatened; when the army is formed, they can easily enter the Yangtze River through the lake mouth.
A good place to integrate training and practical combat.
So he asked Zhu Heng and some of the Senate to stay in Wuchang to take charge of the overall situation, and he brought some people back to Yuezhou to organize the affairs of the navy.
The first thing he did after returning to Yuezhou was to meet Xu Zixin and ask about the choice of the battlefield. The Suzaku Army still had a group of ships that could be selected as warships.
Xu Zixin made many suggestions, but he was eager to make contributions as a gift for the meeting. The suggestion was second, and he recommended himself to bring a group of naval generals for Zhang Ning.
At this time, the official army was in the navy in Jingzhou. A large number of people were transferred from Yuezhou. All their family property was in Yuezhou, and Yuezhou was in the hands of the Zhuque Army. They could not return home and were worried about the safety of their family...
But the problem is that no one in general, especially outsiders, has a list of naval generals, and there is no way to start; and the magistrate Xu Zixin has something to do.
Obviously, Zhang Ning's series of pacification policies after conquering Yuezhou finally saw substantial returns, so Zhang Ning was willing to visit Yueyang Tower with local officials and famous scholars.
If the Suzaku Army plundered and offended all the locals as soon as it arrived, and would not receive support and cooperation from the officials and the people of Yuezhou in the future, there would be no clue in many things.
Zhang Ning immediately appointed Xu Zixin to the Senate Department and set up a new department of the Naval Army Department, allowing him to serve as the head of the position of director and be fully responsible for the establishment.
In the early stage, it was mainly to recruit people. Xu Zixin first locked in some official generals, sent people to find out their families, got tokens or letters from their families, and then secretly smuggled into Jiangbei to find an opportunity to contact the official generals.
After a short while, some generals refused, and some wanted to come back; but no one exposed the spies for the time being, maybe no one wanted to do things too well, after all, the family was in the hands of others and was being held in the hands of others.
Zhang Ning soon had some talents who knew how to fight, and also took over the government shipyard and found managers and craftsmen. The preparations went smoothly.
But he needs an important talent to take charge of the navy and hold military power...
Otherwise, the newly built naval army's military power will be in the hands of surrendered generals of the government army. If the waters are reversed, wouldn't it be a waste of time to make wedding dresses for others?
This person must have enough prestige and identity as Zhou Mengxiong, and must have close ties to him before he can give it to the power.He thought of someone, Monk Yao.
The person who looked up in the wind was Zhu Heng. His chin was blew in the wind and his expression was a little sad...
But the fact is that more than 30 large and small cannons have been installed on the mountain peaks near the Yellow Crane Tower. Here, it is condescending and controlling the whole city. The entire Wuchang is under the deterrence of the Vermilion Bird Army.
