Storms on the sea come and go quickly. When the sky was just dawning, the yellow water was already calm.

When the first rays of sunlight poured into the cabin, Li Zhongyi's biological clock woke him up from his slumber, he opened his eyes slightly, thought about it slightly, but closed his eyes again, hugged Zhu Niang and continued to squint back to his sleep.

When the wind rose last night, Li Zhongyi had already ordered someone to take his waist card and warrant to the command cabin and hand them over to Zhao Laoqi, so that he could take full command of emergency affairs.

Li Zhongyi's order is very clear, anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed or killed, and listen to Zhao Laoyi's orders.

Professional things are left to professionals to do, since Li Zhongyi, the big boss, does not understand maritime affairs, he simply does not interfere at all, and leaves it to Zhao Laoqi to deal with it with all his powers.

After a beautiful night, Li Zhongyi didn't want to get up for the first time, holding the water snake waist of Zhu Niang, and groped down for a while.

As soon as Li Zhongyi's big hand touched the edge of the forest, he was caught by a small hand of Zhu Niang, "Master, I didn't have enough last night, and I came to make a mistake again?" ”

"Hehe, I've been doing well in the past few months, my legs are so strong, I almost didn't faint my master." Li Zhongyi knew that Zhu Niang's face was tender, and he deliberately crooked the building, wanting to see Zhu Niang's jokes.

Who knows, Zhu Niang didn't eat him at all, and said seriously: "Prostitution during the day, you are not afraid of the jokes of your subordinates, and the slave family still has face." He came back directly, choking Li Zhongyi half to death, and he couldn't make a sound.

After all, Li Zhongyi is not the kind of faint person who has not been in the early dynasty since then, and after a while, he got up and changed his clothes.

As Li Zhongyi expected, when he was having breakfast, Zhao Laoqi held his waist card and asked to see him outside the cabin door.

"Student Zhijian, meet the mountain chief." is different from the speculative guy in Zhou Daozhong, Zhao Laoqi is a typical professional and technical officer, who is good at skills and words, especially not good at sycophants.

Li Zhongyi waved his hand and ordered: "Zhijian, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?" Sit down and talk. Come on, bring another pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”

Zhao Laoqi was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, and stammered: "Mountain, mountain long...... Learn...... Student...... Breakfast has been served. "He is a sincere man, and Li Zhongyi's habitual means of winning people's hearts are simply playing the piano to the cow.

Li Zhongyi's acquaintance knew Zhao Laoyi's wooden character, and he didn't want to embarrass him, so he lowered his face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "If you sit down, you can sit, what are you talking about?" ”

Not to mention, Zhao Laoyi eats the most, he hurriedly signed his ass diagonally and sat on Li Zhongyi's left hand side.

"Come on, serve a bowl of meat porridge for Zhijian, sandwich four pancakes, and a few plates of pickles for him."

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, if you are not careful, you will die!

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that when the generals accompanied him to eat, no one had eaten enough, and everyone was afraid of losing their manners in front of the lord, how could they dare to stretch out their chopsticks?

Even Zuo Ziguang, the protégé of the main father, didn't dare to be presumptuous, and Zhao Laoqi was an honest man who could only operate a boat, so dare to make a mistake?

Li Zhongyi simply didn't ask Zhao Laoyi's opinion, and ordered a meal for him, and the men in the sailor were all very good at eating.

He once saw Zhao Laoqi's amount of rice, your sister, three bowls of minced meat and white noodles, a pound and a half, was swept away by Zhao Laoqi, and he licked his lips unsatisfied.

For Zhao Laoyi's hippopotamus-like appetite, Li Zhongyi can only be ashamed of himself and bow down.

Under normal circumstances, when there are outsiders to accompany him, Li Zhongyi will pay great attention to his image and follow the etiquette of eating without words.

However, in the face of Zhao Laoyi, Li Zhongyi was worried that he would be too restrained and eat awkwardly, so he picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a chopstick for him and shredded the pickled vegetables after cutting the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about business, eat first and then talk." ”

Zhao Laoqi looked at the delicious dishes that gradually piled up on the edge of the bowl, and couldn't help but be a little dazed, he was born as a fisherman, and he has always been a business of watching the sky and eating, which can be said to be soaked in bitter water.

In these years, digging in the ground, although it is hard, when there are no natural disasters, it can barely mix food and clothing. However, being hired by the owner and following the sea to fish, it is possible to die at the bottom of the sea at any time and anywhere, and feed the kraken.

After the family moved to Kaifeng City, Zhao Laoqi relied on the excellent water quality and concentrated on fishing for Yellow River carp, still wearing his head on the waistband of his trousers.

The Yellow River carp is tender and delicious, but it only moves in the dangerous shoals, and if you are not careful, you will feed the shrimp soldiers and crabs at the bottom of the river.

Although the Yellow River carp is very valuable, there are too many fishermen to catch, and it is gradually becoming more and more difficult to catch.

What's even more embarrassing is that Zhao Laoqi dragged his family to the same family for four generations, with a grandmother and mother to support, and six children to support.

Objectively speaking, fishing is a very physical and energetic job, and Zhao Laoqi is in the prime of life, can't the amount of food be amazing?

Li Zhongyi knew Zhao Laoyi's bad problems, and he didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Laoyi, while eating by himself, he added vegetables and cakes for Zhao Laoqi to ensure that this guy ate well and was full.

Last night's thunderstorm was so big, Zhao Laoqi, as the commander-in-chief of the sailor's fleet, had a burden on his shoulders ten times heavier than Mount Tai, and the losses were probably already counted.

At this juncture, even if Li Zhongyi thought with his toes, he knew that Zhao Laoqi must not have the heart to eat breakfast.

The general will inevitably die in battle, and the crockpot will not be broken from the well!

Fame is taken right away, and it seems to be warm and affectionate to encourage everyone to move forward, but in fact, there is a strong smell of killing and blood behind this: one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither!

God is fair, and if there is a benefit, there will be a disadvantage, and nothing can escape this objective law.

The mighty ocean does not only mean the astonishing profits of maritime trade or colonization, but also the human tragedy of shipwreckage and human death.

Since Li Zhongyi deliberately developed shipping, he was mentally prepared for the unexpected early. In case the handsome ship is blown over by a hurricane, it can only be blamed on his bad luck and blood mold, and he can't blame anyone.

It is precisely because of the huge risk of shipping that Li Zhongyi deployed to go north to Yuguan this time, and based on the risk of not putting all the apples into one basket, he arranged for his troops and horses to go north by boat in three batches.

No matter which batch encounters a natural disaster, Li Zhongyi's foundation will be greatly damaged, but there is still a chance to turn it over. Unless, he himself used up all his good luck and fed the dragon lord at the bottom of the sea.

Zhao Laoqi trembled and accompanied Li Zhongyi to have breakfast, until Li Zhongyi swept the last mouthful of porridge in the clean bowl, put down the chopsticks in his hand, he hurriedly got up, and said dejectedly: "My lord, the demon wind last night was too big, and five boats were sunk......"

Li Zhongyi's eyelids beat wildly, and his heart twitched with pain, and five large merchant ships sank in the vast sea, losing thirty war horses and more than 300 soldiers of the Guards.

According to the establishment of Li Jiajun, there are a total of 120 people, including the head of the capital, the head of the capital, the deputy head of the capital, and the military judge.

In other words, before the war with the Khitans, the soldiers of the three capitals had already been martyred, and the losses were not heavy!

Seeing Li Zhongyi glaring at him with a blue face, Zhao Laoqi couldn't help but panic in his heart, how could he still have the courage to continue to introduce the battle damage?

Back then, the emperor of wild boar skin liked to appoint the second son or concubine of the Manchurian noble family very much to serve as the imperial guard. The imperial guards, as long as they have enough qualifications and have gained the trust of the emperor, are all confidants and ministers who hold real power when they are released.

The fifth ancestor of the literary giant Cao Xueqin, Cao Xiyuan, was originally the commander of the Shenyang Zhongwei of the Ming Dynasty.

After the banner owner Dolgon himself fell to his death, Shunzhi seized the Zhengbai flag to which he belonged, and the Cao family was covered by the banner owner and turned into the interior office.

The coater, its minions, too!

The white flag belongs to one of the three flags, and the owner of the flag is the emperor himself, and his minions want to kill or chop, and they all follow the emperor's wishes, so they are naturally particularly trusted.

During the reign of wild boar skin, not to mention that the Han army carried the flag was simply a pie in the sky, even if the lower five flags were lifted to the upper three flags, it was a supreme glory worthy of a big book.

Because of this, Cao Xueqin's great-grandmother Sun, that is, the ancestor in "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Mu, was selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as Kang Mazi's nursing mother.

Cao Yin, the son of Mama Sun, and Kang Mazi are milk brothers, and their feelings for each other are naturally extraordinarily close. This is also when Kang Mazi was alive, Jiangning weaving - one of the fattest shortages in the world, has always been the most important factor controlled by the Cao family.

The emperor's mental technique, in fact, is roughly the same, no need for cronyism, is it really like the book said to use people to be virtuous?

The guards around Li Zhongyi, in fact, are the imperial guards who helped Kang Mazi capture and worship.

Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi has always consciously cultivated the guards around him, even if they are ordinary soldiers in the army, they are all cultivated according to the standard of at least being a team upright.

In just one night of violent storms, Li Zhongyi lost more than 300 officers, or was the entire system wiped out by the waves, how could he not be painful? How can you not feel pain in your heart and lungs?

You must know that since the rise of the Hechi Army, there has never been a precedent for the Li Jiajun to be completely wiped out as a formed army!

Li Zhongyi's mood is abnormally low, and the reason why he keeps making excuses and forcing Zhao Laoqi to have breakfast is because Li Zhongyi's ostrich mentality is making trouble, and he is afraid of knowing the truth about too much loss.

"I see." After Li Zhongyi spit out these three words with great difficulty, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Laoqi to step back for the time being.

One of Zhao Laoyi's feet had not left the handsome cabin, and Zhu Niang, who had been hiding in the brocade curtain, ran to Li Zhongyi's side like a gust of wind.

Zhu Niang snuggled into Li Zhongyi's arms, hugged his neck tightly, and murmured: "In the past, there were many red-makeup sisters around the slave family, more than 500 people. Alas, the party members repeatedly came to attack, and sisters continued to die, and the flower girl and the slave family were so distressed at first that they couldn't eat at all, and they were very sad. Now, there are only 100 sisters left, and they want to open up. All men are mortal? As long as they die well and receive generous pensions, so that their families can live a better life and have a big future in the future, they will be at ease. ”

Li Zhongyi understood that Zhu Niang was comforting him, but his guards were all elite veterans carefully selected from veterans who had been more than two years old, and they were cultivated according to the standards above the team level, and they were lost overnight, which made people think very badly!

During the next voyage, Li Zhongyi kept a gloomy face, as if everyone owed him eight million yuan in silver, and he didn't look at anyone.

Even the extremely favored Zhu Niang and Li Qi Niang also suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, and in just three days, they were reprimanded no less than eight times.

As for Han Xianglan and Ye Xiaolan, they are even more sad. When Li Zhongyi's dark fire attacked, he simply put the two little wives of Han and Ye on the bed together, and killed the sky in the dark.

Zhu Niang understands in her heart that the man is very unhappy, and he has not crossed the hurdle of the demon, so he will be trained if he is trained, just as if the wind is blowing.

Li Qiniang's mentality is different, she is worried about Li Zhongyi's poor state, and her heart is a little sweet. Although Li Zhongyi has been holding back the dark fire in his heart, at most, he has stripped her naked, and her body has always remained in a perfect state.

It's just that Li Qiniang has been grinding with the man's ears and temples for a long time, although she has not been broken, she is actually psychologically familiar. After all, at night when Li Qiniang went to bed, the soaked sheets had to be changed at least three times.

Fortunately, after five days, the fleet successfully arrived at the newly renovated Yuguan wharf.

Yuguan was originally a small pass stuck between the mountains and the sea. After Li Zhongyi led the army to occupy Yuguan, he successively requisitioned Gorinu three times to expand the Guancheng, and after a few years, Yuguan became a military fortress in the northern region second only to Youzhou.

In addition to the tens of thousands of troops gathered in the Guannai, there were still 50,000 or 60,000 Goryeo slaves who served as hard laborers, as well as merchants of various ethnic groups, and even the big merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty smelled a large amount of silver money and flocked to it.

After the Guancheng was strengthened and expanded, in view of the unusually simple wharf, Yang Lie, who had been sitting in Yuguan, simply drove the Gaoli slaves to dig stones and cut trees, and built a new wharf in Yuguan along the seashore that could dock fifteen large ships at the same time, and surrounded it with a rammed earth wall twenty zhang high.

Before Li Zhongyi's handsome ship docked, Yang Lie and others, who rushed to the dock early to greet him, had actually heard the news that the fleet was in distress at sea.

When they first heard the news, Yang Lie, Liu Heyang and others were all stunned and trembling with fear.

Li Zhongyi's sons, the eldest Li Jiyi, is only seven years old this year. If Li Zhongyi has three longs and two shorts, it is simply that the sky is about to fall.

After all, fools know that such a young young master, just like the nine-year-old son of the current Great Zhou, will never be able to control the extremely sharp blade of the Li Jiajun, and the careerists in the army will definitely jump out to seize power.

When Li Zhongyi was alive, none of the important ministers of the Li family army dared to think crookedly, even if they were dragons, they had to lie on their stomachs.

Li Jiajun's system of checks and balances is indeed very complete, but the only shortcoming is also very obvious, Li Zhongyi has not yet had an adult successor.

After the handsome ship docked, Li Zhongyi never showed up, and the heavy generals on the shore muttered in their hearts one by one, didn't something happen to him?
