I’m The King Chapter 1393: : Han Banner World (83) Inland River Navy

Fenzhou, Dahan Neihe naval camp. Several naval warships approached the pier slowly. Amidst shouting, they dropped the cable, lowered the anchor, and set up the gangplank. I have suffered a lot, but in the past few years, this kind of day has basically happened once a month, and everyone is used to it, and the price of doing so is that the combat effectiveness of this naval fleet has skyrocketed In the past, they could only suppress water bandits and investigate smuggling. They could be regarded as a water police at best, but now, they can proudly say that they are soldiers.

The leader of this naval fleet is Li Quan.

The name Li Quan is extremely unfamiliar to most people in the Han Dynasty, but when it comes to his father Li Can, I am afraid that everyone in the Han Dynasty knows it. At that time, Li$pig$pig$岛$novel(www).(zhu)(zhu)().()can was the first former county governor of Yan State to surrender to the big man, and because he was familiar with maritime affairs, he surrendered After that, he became a member of the political affairs hall in the Dahan Political Affairs Hall, specializing in maritime affairs. And the big Han who attaches great importance to overseas trade and colonization also made Li Can like a fisherman. In just a few years, Li's maritime power has also developed in a blowout with the expansion of the big Han overseas, and has become an out-and-out Maritime giant, but three years ago, Li Can was suddenly relegated from the position of Minister of the Sea to Cangzhou as the headmaster of the navy for no reason, which was inexplicable.

Of course, for those who know the inside story, Li Can's punishment is still relatively light. This is mainly because of Li's influence on maritime affairs and their strength at sea. Back then, in order to dominate the overseas trade, they conspired to destroy another fleet that was capable of competing with them in Ryukyu, which led to Gao Yuan's fury.

Li Can was demoted, and Hai Hai's overseas trade and colonial policies had also undergone earth-shaking changes. The imperial court strongly encouraged private capital to enter the shipping industry. They could obtain sea-going ships from shipyards with loans, and buy artillery from the imperial court. Encouraging joint operations, etc., under the stimulation of imperial policies, overseas trade, and colonial profits, Dahan's overseas trade has entered a period of vigorous development, and a large number of hands have accumulated countless wealth. The big merchants in the bottleneck period began to march overseas, and after being hit by this blow, Li's Shipping also shrunk its neck honestly, and Fenzhou Shipping took the opportunity to rise. Now the joint ventures of the twelve shipowners in Fenzhou can compete with Cangzhou or even surpass them.

When the incident happened that year, Li Quan had already achieved the position of vice-admiral in the navy fleet, and was regarded by the naval commander Kou Shuguang as the best candidate to succeed him. However, when Li Can's incident happened, Li Quan was implicated , transferred from the position of Vice Admiral of the Navy, and was placed in the Inland River Navy as a commander.

From a promising naval vice admiral to an almost similar position, but with power. Li Quan's psychological gap can be imagined for the Neihe navy with a very different future, but he also knows very well that the king has already shown mercy. According to the crimes committed by his father, in the past, even the Nine Clans could be justified.

After being disheartened for a while, Li Quan cheered up again. He was originally the youngest in the family and was not taken seriously. His father sent him into the navy back then. It's more of an expression of showing sincerity to the King of Han Gaoyuan, but he was originally a scholar, and his years of naval military career with Kou Shuguang in the wind and rain have turned him into a cold and stern soldier. . Colonizing overseas, killing decisively, there is no room for you to hesitate at all, the bright red blood has already worn away his original scholarly habits.

Among the navy in the inland river, Li Quan began to rectify military discipline and retrain troops. Even if he couldn't become a dragon in the sea, Li Quan didn't want to become a loach in the inland river.

For three years, Li Quan has been immersed in the Inland River Navy, and has never returned home. Firstly, he wants to start a new career, and secondly, he has no respect for his father deep in his heart. No complaints, although the son never complained about his father, after the accident, he also went to Kou Shuguang 3617/'> to ask the commander to help him, but his career was hit hard because of this, saying that he had no resentment in his heart That's fake.

In three years, he turned an inland river navy with little combat effectiveness into a strong army, and the new Minister of State and Affairs in charge of maritime affairs, Kou Shuguang, was his old boss and treated him very well. Appreciation, and sympathy for his experience, so in the past three years, I have helped him a lot, at least in terms of equipment, compared with three years ago, the current Neihe Navy has completely changed appearance.

Now Dahan's Inland River Navy has more than a hundred ships of all sizes, of which there are ten third-tier warships. This is also the core combat power of the Inland River Navy. Each ship is equipped with a cannon at the bow and stern, which greatly enhances its combat effectiveness.

"Commander Li, you're back!" This was a military pier, and the officers on duty greeted him graciously.

"Yeah!" A smile appeared on Li Quan's bronzed face, rubbing his calloused hands, and asked with a smile, "What happened these days?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the internal military newspaper said that my big Han army took down Yingchuan, Wulong, Tai'an, and that boy Tanfeng was beaten to nowhere, and he went to Chu to **** a piece of land Hahaha!" The officer on duty laughed happily, as an officer of the Dahan, every news of the victory of the Dahan army would make him very happy.

"Oh, so fast!" Li Quan was slightly taken aback, didn't he always say that the Yingchuan soldiers trained by Tan Feng are very powerful, why are they so careless? But he was just so surprised. He didn't care much about the army. What he cared about was when the big man would attack the state of Chu. Li Quan knew very well that he could only attack the state of Chu. His navy might still be useful. Because Chu State also has a navy. But until now, I haven’t heard any news about attacking Chu State. In other words, Dahan has always regarded Daqin as his biggest opponent, or before destroying Qin State, he would never Go to war against Chu. I still have to be patient, continue to train soldiers, and wait patiently for that day to come.

"The Ministry of War brought in a batch of weapons today, including artillery and ammunition." While accompanying Li Quan to the barracks, the officer on duty said, "The commander who escorts this batch of ammunition must sign for you personally. I said Commander, you don't know if you can come back, but he said there is no rush, he can wait, and he is still in the barracks, I arranged for him to live first, and now these weapons have not been delivered because there is no signature from Commander What!"

"Cannon, ammunition?" Li Quan was stunned. Cannon, a new weapon, has always been the best equipment for the navy, and then the army. The cannons of the building boats were all obtained through the old boss through the back door. Why is a batch of cannons and ammunition brought in for no reason now?

"Who is here? Do I know you?"

"He said he was a chief of the Ministry of War, but I don't recognize him." The officer on duty shook his head and said, "After all, he is an official from Jicheng. The degree and airs are really not comparable to ordinary people."

"Okay, I'll go back to the office first. If I don't come back for a few days, I must have accumulated a lot of official documents. I will deal with these first. After you go back, please invite the principal to come to my office. Signatures and pledges, artillery and ammunition, these military weapons, should not be ignored at all, they have to go into the warehouse first."

"Understood, Commander, why don't you take a break first?" the officer asked.

"What's there to rest on? On the boat, I'm resting." Li Quan looked back at the warship on the pier, and sighed softly: "This inland river is calm and calm, which is comparable to the turbulent sea in the sea. Here, as far as I am concerned, I am resting every day!"

Listening to Li Quan's sigh, the officer lowered his head. He knew a little about Li Quan's experience.

Going back to the public room, took off the armor, and sat down before the big case. As expected, in front of him were stacks of official documents that were waiting to be processed. Reaching out to open the top copy, Li Quan picked up the pen and began to review it.

"Commander, the head of the Ministry of War is here." In less than a stick of incense, the voice of an officer came from outside.

"Please come in." Li Quan put down his pen and stood up. When the light at the door dimmed, a middle-aged man appeared at the door. Seeing that man's face, Li Quan couldn't believe his eyes and blinked. After a few moments, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes again.

"Li Quan, you read that right, it's me!" The visitor said with a smile.

"Commander Kou!" Li Quan walked up to Kou Shuguang quickly, gave a military salute, and wanted to speak, but his throat was choked up, but he didn't utter a word.

"You are much older." Looking at his favorite subordinate back then, Kou Shuguang was very emotional, "You are ten years younger than me, why do you look older than me?"

"Commander~IndoMTL.com~Commander!" Li Quan choked with sobs: "It's been more than three years, and I finally saw you again. In the past few years, if it weren't for your support, I really don't know how I would have survived. "

Patting Li Quan on the shoulder vigorously, Kou Shuguang smiled and said: "You are doing very well, not only I see it, but the king also sees it, the king said, Li Quan did a good job Don't be shocked by honor or disgrace, and do things with sincerity, the big man needs a servant like him. These are the words of the king!"

"Your Majesty's heart is absurd, Li Quan is just doing his part." Li Quan said excitedly.

The officer who brought Kou Shuguang was shocked when he heard the real identity of this person, standing there like a clay sculpture.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and make some tea, no, no, no, bring some wine, I want to have a good drink with the commander, by the way, keep your mouth shut, don't tell anyone Don't even mention that the commander came to me." Li Quan said repeatedly.

"Understood!" The officer agreed and ran out.

"You are still so careful." Kou Shuguang glanced at him appreciatively. (To be continued.)
