Chapter 509

"Cough..."

In the imperial study, just as everyone was in a hurry and talking endlessly, Li Yan clenched his teeth and decided to harden his head to ask for war, suddenly there was a light cough.

The crowd immediately followed the prestige and saw the corner. Zuo Liangyu, who had been silent since he came, covered his mouth and looked cold.

They were stunned first, and then their eyes lit up. Zhang Yan also reacted at this time.

Although Zuo Liangyu has been the Minister of the military and legal department since he became a subordinate, he can't keep a low profile. Almost everyone forgets him, but he is a real veteran on the battlefield. Let alone a mere 50000 or 60000 troops, there are only 200000 or 300000 troops. He was once commanded by others.

Although Zuo Liangyu did not like what he had done in the past, he was also worried, but now there was no one available, and he was no more suitable, so Zhang Yan coughed and said, "Zuo Aiqing, would you like to lead the army to rescue Hangzhou and eliminate Zheng thieves?"

"I will die forever!"

Zuo Liangyu didn't bother. He didn't even want integrity. He hurried out of the line and fell to his knees with a plop.

But he was excited. Just now these guys were arguing that no one was handsome. He knew his opportunity was coming, but these guys were really hateful. They just forgot him, a veteran who had been in the army for decades. Unexpectedly, no one mentioned it. They had to make some noise to let the dog eyes and the Phoenix eyes of their mother see it. So now facing Zhang Yan's inquiry, Where would you refuse?

"Good! Zuo Aiqing, please get up quickly. Aiqing is handsome. If you want to come to a small group of sea bandits, turn your hands and destroy them, the palace will be at ease. "

Zhang Yan nodded and was very satisfied with Zuo Liangyu's attitude. After all, the other party's troops were unknown, but they were all recruits. It was really rare to dare to stand up at this time.

"Thank you!"

Zuo Liangyu quickly thanked him before he got up.

Li Yan, Niu Jinxin and others frowned slightly, but after all, no one stood up against Zuo Liangyu's handsome, because none of them was sure to recover Hangzhou and defeat Zheng Zhilong.

"Well, Zheng thief must have come prepared this time. Our army rushed to rescue, and most of them are recruits. What else does Zuo Aiqing need?"

Zhang Yan thought and looked at him and asked.

"Only fifty thousand of the recruits outside the city were really dangerous, so the minister urged the two thousand guards to be transferred from the palace and then five thousand troops from the city."

Zuo Liangyu is not stupid. Knowing that Zhang Yan said this, although she was worried that he would not win, she also estimated that she did not fully trust him, so she took the initiative to say.

"Then according to Aiqing, two thousand palace guards and five thousand garrisons are still under the unified control of Aiqing. If you can recover Hangzhou and eliminate Zheng thieves, the palace will personally ask for merit for Aiqing!"

Seeing that he knew how to advance and retreat, Zhang Yan smiled and said to Niu Jinxing, "Niu Aiqing, you'll be the military staff!"

"Yes, mother!"

Zuo Liangyu and Niu Jinxing both hurriedly embrace boxing.

"Empress, although the main target of Zheng thief may be Hangzhou, there are many craftsmen in Songjiangfu shipyard, which is the foundation of our Qin Navy in the future. We have to guard against it. At the end of the war, we will ask for war. We are willing to send a handsome navy to reinforce it!"

Just as everyone was about to break up, a burly man in another corner stood up and said, which was obviously a forgotten role.

This is indeed the case. This burly man was Liu Yan who proposed fire dragon to Qin Huan during the Dongting Lake war. Now he is the commander of the Qin Navy, commanding more than 400 large and small building ships. Although he is a major general, he is only a fourth grade military officer. Usually, let alone attend military meetings at this level, Li Yan and Niu Jinxing will not call him.

A while ago, I wanted to arrest the water bandits everywhere. Today, I happened to be in the city. If Zhang Yan hadn't said that all military attach é s and generals above the third grade must enter the palace for discussion, Li Yan would never call him.

Just now, Liu Yan has been in a state of excitement, and the whole person is in a fog. After all, except when his majesty ascended the throne, he has never been to the imperial palace. It is also the first time he saw the legendary two empresses, so he really dare not interrupt.

It can be seen that the meeting was about to break up. Everyone did not consider the safety of Songjiangfu shipyard at all. They couldn't help it, so they boldly stood up.

Obviously, compared with Li Yan and Niu Jinxing, Liu Yan, a little military attache from a family of Navy generals, knows more about the importance of the Navy and is more concerned about the safety of Songjiangfu shipyard.

Because his goal is not just the commander of the Yangtze River Navy, but the commander of the Daqin Navy. His dream is not to fight those water bandits every day, but to gallop around the world like Zheng He in those years and spread the national prestige of the Daqin to all countries.

"Liu Tongling, naval warfare is no better than naval warfare. Can those warships of our navy go to sea? Can you stand the wind and waves? "

A military attache from Jiangsu and Zhejiang stood up, frowned and asked. Obviously, he didn't want the navy to take risks for a shipyard, but stayed in the Yangtze River to defend Nanjing.

Other people nodded one after another. After all, even if they didn't understand it, they knew that river ships just couldn't stand the wind and waves at sea. In fact, everyone wanted the shipyard to be finished, so that they could save a lot of money for the army.

Although everyone did not dare to say, they did not understand or agree with Qin Huan's construction of Shanghai wharf and shipyard at the expense of huge human, material and financial resources.

Including Li Yan, because if the house of internal affairs and the Government Council allocate those silver to the military and Government Council, I don't know how many artillery, fire guns, weapons and armor to be made.

Although Zhang Yan didn't understand why Qin Huan insisted on throwing so much money, she knew how much Qin Huan attached importance to the dock of Songjiangfu shipyard, so she didn't dare to neglect Liu Yan.

Seeing that his mother looked at it, Liu Yan didn't care about other people's questions, but quickly explained: "back to his mother, although most of the sailors are flat bottomed building ships, they really can't resist the wind and waves when going to sea, but it's no problem if they only help guard the shipyard near the shore. Besides, my navy's warships are flat bottomed, in fact, they don't have much less artillery than each other's sea ships, If we really fight, we will not suffer losses, but will have some advantages. "

"Oh? Are you sure you can win the Zheng family's fleet? "

Zhang Yan also sat up straight when she saw what he said.

"Mother, think twice. Once the navy is bad, if Zheng thief fleet goes up along the river, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Yes, ma'am! The Navy should stay in the Yangtze River to defend the capital and prevent thieves from raiding. "

Seeing Zhang Yan's side reaction, they quickly stood up and advised.

Liu Yan is in a hurry, but in terms of reasoning, where are these people's opponents? He had to kneel on one knee, hug his fist, blush and say, "madam, the last general is willing to make a military order. If the Zheng family fleet attacks and can't win, the last general is willing to raise his head to see him!"

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

"You are a little general. How dare you speak wildly here?"

All the people immediately shouted at Liu Yan, and everyone was full of indignation. Obviously, Liu Yan's behavior has violated the public anger and broken the rules. If everyone does this in the future, why should they be the leaders of the military and political yuan?

Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for war. Instead, he used a euphemistic way to let Zhang Yan notice him. It's like this guy took the initiative to ask for war as soon as he stood up. Now he even has a military order.

Zuo Liangyu looked on coldly and scolded secretly. This guy was a fool. He didn't look at where it was. He thought he was in Qin Huan's army account.

"Well, you are quite sure. Let's lead the navy to the pool tomorrow!"

Zhang Yan was also upset when they quarreled. She waved her hand and understood that this man would not be an official at all. He could only fight, so she also believed that he could win.

"Thank you!"

Liu Yan really didn't know that he had offended all the leaders of the military and political Academy. He was very happy and quickly thanked him.

After all, this is a golden opportunity for meritorious service. Once you win, you can't run away a title in the future.

They wanted to persuade again, but Zhang Yan got up directly to announce the adjournment of the meeting, and then left with the help of Li Waner. It was clear that they were jealous of others' meritorious service. She wouldn't care about it at all. She wouldn't have intervened in the affairs of the military and political yuan unless the Zheng family suddenly attacked this time.
