"It's natural. I'll approve it for you and pick up the supplies from the Jiangnan Military Department."
Zhang Songyue nodded when he heard about the army's food and salary.
This is all within the plan of the monarch and his ministers, so he can naturally agree to it.
Otherwise, they will not even be provided with food and pay for the military, and they will become completely private soldiers.
But Zhang Songyue changed the subject and warned again:
"But there is only food but no wages. The wages and silver are only the 20,000 taels. For the rest, you can ask the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to donate some."
The implication is that you have clothes to wear and food to eat.
But no fixed salary is given.
Even so, Zhang Songyue added:
"The new army should not be well organized and trained, so as not to waste people and money."
Is this too much?
No wonder the Japanese pirates are so difficult to suppress. No one can suppress them!
If you don’t give money, who will work hard?
At this moment, Feng Yibo even doubted whether Zhao Wensong was unjustly accused?
Could it be that he wanted to get money first to train troops and suppress Japanese invaders?
Otherwise, why would he be chasing money like a fool?
I have a life to take such money, but I have no life to spend it, right?
This thought lasted only a moment.
The next second.
Feng Yibo was thinking about what else he could order.
He first asked tentatively: "Can we train ten thousand people first?"
"Three thousand first!" Zhang Songyue decided directly.
Afraid that Feng Yibo would be dissatisfied, he started to draw a bigger picture again.
"If we win two games, it won't be too late to expand."
"Okay! Then there will be three thousand soldiers! I will appoint and remove the officers in the camp."
Regular soldiers are the main combat troops.
Three thousand regular soldiers is not a small number.
Counting the auxiliary troops, there were at least four to five thousand people.
Even tens of thousands is not impossible.
Of course, Feng Yibo must have a policy of elite troops.
Don’t engage in human wave tactics.
Moreover, the three thousand regular soldiers were just an ambush he set up.
The latter right to appoint and remove officers was what he wanted most.
It's a pity that Zhang Songyue saw through this little idea easily.
He shook his head and said expressionlessly:
"Officer, you should still deploy people in various camps in the south of the Yangtze River. You can't find people who have never led soldiers, right?"
Feng Yibo was a little unwilling and tried to argue:
"Then it's okay to use something that's not really lacking, right?"
"Can."
Zhang Songyue nodded without thinking much.
This answer was finally within Feng Yibo's acceptance range.
But he nodded and made a new request.
"The navy also needs to listen to my orders, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the Japanese pirates!"
"This can be discussed. The cabinet will issue a statement to the Nanjing Ministry of War and let them handle it as appropriate."
"..."
In this way, the two of you come and go.
They all try their best to deal with it within their own limited scope.
Finally, all the conditions were finally negotiated.
Zhang Songyue and Emperor Jingshun nodded, signaling the end.
Emperor Jingshun saw this and said, "Editor Feng, besides these, do you have anything else to say?"
Feng Yibo negotiated all the conditions, and Zhengzhi was satisfied.
Hearing this, he raised his hands to Danbi and said, "Before I leave, I would like to recite a poem to express my ambition!"
"allow!"
Emperor Jingshun breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was really the end of the conversation.
Feng Yibo took a few steps and took a good posture.
He held his head high and said loudly: "I'll rest easy for the time being, my worries are in Japan."
This sentence is the opening statement.
He said that although he was safe and sound in the capital, he was worried about Japanese pirates all the time.
There were many civil servants in the DPRK, and many of them were shaking their heads.
Without him, it’s too straightforward.
"Come and greet the guests with wine bottles, wave your bows and sit down to talk about war."
This sentence means that even when drinking with friends, one does not forget to talk about military matters.
I thought that one day I could lead troops to deal with Japanese pirates.
It's slightly better than the previous sentence.
At least there are no metrical flaws.
"The clouds protect toothpicks, and the stars contain swords."
This sentence has a nice image.
It was dark and the books were filled with bookmarks.
Under the starry sky, he did not forget to touch the sword lying on the table.
This means that while he worked hard at studying, he never slacked off on his military skills.
Although that is a bit exaggerated.
But "literary men can bring peace to the world with their pens, and military men can mount their horses to determine the world."
It has always been the ultimate romance for readers!
The princes in the court only thought that this sentence was not bad.
Putting the three sentences together, it barely passes.
At least I have pretty much stated my ambition.
But what they didn't expect was.
Next sentence.
Immediately raise the tone of the entire poem to several levels!
The highest is Danbi, the middle is the princes, and the lowest is the civil and military officials.
Even palace servants, guards, etc. who are fluent in writing or illiterate.
Everyone is moved by it!
Just because I heard Feng Yibo recite the last sentence in a deep voice!
"I don't want to be granted the title of Marquis, but I only hope that the sea will be peaceful!"
This is a poem written by Qi Jiguang, which was slightly modified by Feng Yibo.
I used this to express my worries about being in the capital and worrying about the coast south of the Yangtze River.
Determination to get rid of Japanese pirates,
There is also the ambition to not seek fame or fortune, but to calm the sea.
The first three sentences are all foreshadowing, and the last sentence touches the soul!
It’s heartbreaking!
This sentence alone can make people's hearts surge!
All the princes, civil and military officials, palace servants, and guards all cast strange glances.
There is admiration, shock, and shame in this look...
This is the charm of poetry.
Whether you can write poetry or not, you can still tell the quality of a poem!
If it were all shit and piss, there would be no poetry at all!
Such as this poem.
As long as you have been influenced by the idea of loyalty to the emperor and service to the country.
You can all hear the emotion in it.
Even just now he was thinking of adding insult to injury to him.
At this moment, I can’t help but feel ashamed!
Even look at myself.
Have you been fascinated by the world of mortals and forgotten your original intention of serving the country?
"What a 'I don't want to be crowned a prince, I just hope the sea will be peaceful'!"
Emperor Jingshun was also touched by it and almost got up after hearing it.
Fortunately, he has been in a high position for a long time and has his own city.
Although his heart was surging, he could only hold the handles on both sides of the dragon chair tightly with both hands.
The two dragon-shaped handles are covered with his stains.
He breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to stand taller by three points.
He exclaimed: "No wonder people in the south of the Yangtze River say that Feng Aiqing is comparable to Jiaxuan!"
"It turns out that not only can he lead troops to suppress the Japanese, he is even as talented as Jiaxuan in poetry!"
"Your Majesty, this is a great award!"
Emperor Jingshun's series of compliments made Feng Yibo feel a little ashamed.
He rarely does copywriting.
Today it is not recited on a whim.
But it was already prepared.
He had to leave a poem in order to truly be known as "comparable to Jiaxuan".
In this way, people will remember that he is a civil servant!
Otherwise, if someone confuses him as a military attache in the future, there will be no way to deal with it.
At this time, he said humbly: "I actually don't have much poetic talent, all I have is a heart to serve the country with fists and fists!"
"Feng Aiqing's ambition to serve the country is all contained in this poem!"
Emperor Jingshun nodded, then waved and whispered to the palace people around him.
The palace man walked up to Zhang Songyue and whispered a few words.
Zhang Songyue and Emperor Jingshun looked at each other and nodded lightly.
Emperor Jingshun received the signal and nodded to the palace officials again.
After a series of operations, the palace official immediately announced:
"Your Majesty has an order! Promote Hanlin Academy editor Feng Yuan to serve as a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, and serve as an imperial envoy to inspect the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River and conduct military training!"
It turned out that Emperor Jingshun made a temporary decision.
The originally planned mission officer was upgraded to a higher level and became a reward compiled by the Hanlin Academy.
Another frame was raised.
He was immediately promoted two ranks and became a sixth-rank lecturer in the Hanlin Academy.
Feng Yibo quickly thanked him: "I, Feng Yuan, would like to thank the Holy One for his kindness. I will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment by going here, sweep away the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea, and restore a clear day to the south of the Yangtze River!"
Emperor Jingshun, who had not yet recovered from his excitement, heard the words and encouraged:
"If you do well on this errand, you will definitely be of great use when you come back!"
