Chapter 509 The Satisfied Zhang Chong
Li Qing looked at him and saw that Zhang Chong was very different from what he imagined.
Originally, Li Neng thought that Zhang Chong was a bearded and burly general, but now the person who appeared in front of him was clearly a scholar-like person.
"Get up, you're different from what I thought before!"
Li Neng waved his hand and asked Zhang Chong to get up from the ground, while making a joke with him. After all, since Li Neng approached their camp, all the situations he saw made him very satisfied.
"I'm not hiding this from your Majesty, I am indeed not a general, but a Jinshi twelve years ago. I got here because of the Ministry of Personnel's adjustment to my official position."
When Zhang Chong said this, his expression was obviously a little lonely. This made Li Qing think of someone who seemed to be less than 40 years old should have offended someone back then, which made him reach such a level.
But now it is obviously not the time when Li Qing came here. What he wanted to see most was the current warship maintenance and training of the navy in the Tang Dynasty, rather than where the generals here came from.
"You can let the soldiers here gather together first. I want to see how they train on weekdays. In addition, no matter whether those two warships can be launched or not, I also want to see how the weapons on the warships are operated, you also want the soldiers to practice for me!"
After Li Yan made these requests, Zhang Chong's face felt a little bit more energetic, and ordered to a deputy general beside him: "Quickly reorganize the army, first show your Majesty how we train on weekdays, first show it on land, and then ask Your Majesty to board the ship!"
After giving the order, Zhang Chong made a request gesture to Li Xuan and took Li Xuan to an open space by the sea.
Obviously, this is where they trained soldiers on weekdays. Li Qing observed around him, and then stood behind Zhang Chong without saying a word.
Soon, the soldiers from a large group of soldiers gathered almost. They were not covered with armor like the army. The navy was just wearing a thin layer. After all, the sun on the beach was very vicious. If they were wearing armor at this time, they probably hadn't practiced every day. These soldiers would have heatstroke.
However, the benefits of not wearing armor and not wearing armor. According to Li Neng's idea, those who fight against others on the boat should not wear heavy armor. Of course, wearing cloth clothes is not safe. Li Neng has carefully analyzed this matter. Overall, the benefits of not wearing armor are a little more.
"There are only so many people in your Dongmu navy? The number of news I got from the Ministry of War is not so much!"
As soon as these people gathered together, Li Qing asked slowly. In fact, he still knew quite well about the Dongmu navy, but now he suddenly pretended not to understand. He wanted to see how Zhang Chong, who had experienced darkness, evaluated that darkness.
Of course, Zhang Chong didn't know how well Li Neng knew about them, because all the decisions were almost conveyed through Hong Yuan. Although Hong Yuan had said many times that Li Neng valued them very much, he didn't know whether that was a cliché at the beginning. So when Li Neng asked this, he not only did not have any panic expression, but instead felt relieved. He opened his mouth after breathing a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that according to the previous organization, the scale here should indeed be as large as ten thousand people. In addition, the number of people dispatched by the Ministry of War should be at least 16,000, but now, there are only 7,000!"
When Li Qing saw Zhang Chong explaining this matter, he looked full of indignation, so he frowned and continued to ask: "Then tell me, why have you reduced so much? Humph! If this Japanese country came to attack us, I'm afraid you are too short of your strength!"
"What Your Majesty said is that during the years when Your Majesty did not ascend the throne, I had sent letters to the Ministry of War many times, but all the reply was because all the places in the Tang Dynasty were recruiting soldiers, suffering from war, and the military expenditure was huge, so I had no time to take care of us. In the following years, even the reply was gone. People in the court once said: These warships were just to scare the enemy, and they were useless."
"Fuck! How can my Tang Dynasty's steel warship be used to scare the enemy just?"
At this time, Li Yan had already scolded the unknown official before, and he said it ruthlessly, but his heart was even more ruthless than he said it ruthlessly.
"this……"
Li Yi's scolding made Zhang Chong a little confused. He originally wanted to scold him, but his identity was different from Li Yi, and he also scolded him, which was really inappropriate.
"Okay, hurry up and let these soldiers practice and let me, an expert, see how much you have!"
When Zhang Chong heard this, his expression became serious at that time. Then he was busy giving orders to his soldiers, splitting their soldiers into two groups, and then attacking each other.
This method was actually invented by Li Yi in this era, and of course it is also Li Yi's favorite way to watch it. Only in the battle can we know how capable these soldiers have reached.
As soon as an expert took action, he knew if there was any. Not long after Zhang Chong ordered, the soldiers were still screaming and going upwards. The exercise was stopped by Li Qing.
"Okay, I've seen it all!"
"Who doesn't know what Your Majesty means?"
"Among the thousands of soldiers in front of me, most of them are over thirty or forty years old, right? You have already tried your best to make these soldiers show their ability."
"Your Majesty, these more than a thousand people are a little older, but they are all my old friends. The new people have been practicing water quality in the past few months and have not started to practice. This navy is different from infantrymen. It has poor water quality, so it will be futile if you can kill the enemy!"
"You have been in vain for all these years. Even if I feel relieved, you are the commander of this army. No matter how many people this army develops, as long as you still treat it like this, you will still be the commander!"
As soon as Li Yi said this, Zhang Chong's face changed a little at that time. He suddenly arrived in front of Li Yi and fell to the ground.
