Chapter 936 Reward
Do you dare to lead your army out to sea again?
Yun Zheng’s question made Zhao Liuliang stunned for a moment.
Do you still dare to lead your army out to sea?
Zhao Liuliang was also asking himself this question.
To be honest, Zhao Liuliang was indeed a little afraid of the sea which was full of unknown dangers.
Their voyage this time was almost equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.
It can be said that their lives were saved.
If he led his army out to sea again, he didn't know if he would have such good luck again.
But as a soldier, if he said he didn't dare, it would be considered as fear of war.
After a long while, Zhao Liuliang forced out a word: "Dare!"
"Are you afraid?"
Yun Zheng stared at Zhao Liuliang quietly.
"No...no."
Zhao Liuliang denied it.
"It doesn't matter!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "If you are afraid, then you are afraid. There is nothing wrong with admitting it! I am afraid sometimes too. Everyone has only one life, and it is normal to be afraid of death!"
Zhao Liuliang hesitated, looked at Yun Zheng awkwardly, and then nodded gently: "I dare not deceive Your Highness, I am indeed a little scared. The sea is completely different from the land..."
As he spoke, Zhao Liuliang carefully explained what he was afraid of.
Reefs, rapids, storms, diseases...
If it was just a simple battle with the enemy, he would definitely not be afraid.
But there are too many unknown dangers at sea.
He was afraid that he would not even see his enemy and would be buried in the vast ocean.
After saying this, Zhao Liuliang lowered his head in shame.
"Keep your head up!"
Yun Zheng stared at Zhao Liuliang and smiled, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. The dangers at sea are indeed much greater than on land. Looking at the Northern Army and the Guiyi Army, few people who understand the dangers at sea would dare to say they are not afraid!"
"Thank you, Your Highness..." Zhao Liuliang slowly raised his head, and the shame on his face faded a little.
"It is this king and the people of Daqian who should thank you."
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and said seriously: "The seeds you brought back will save countless lives and benefit future generations! Both you and those who have been buried in the sea should be recorded in history!"
"Your Highness...you are too kind!"
Zhao Liuliang's eyes turned red and his voice trembled a little.
This is the affirmation from King Jingbei.
This is also a great honor.
Thanks to Yun Zheng's words, their companions' sacrifice was not in vain.
"If you don't want to go out to sea again, I won't force you."
Yun Zheng's face was serious. "However, after you recover, you must help me train the soldiers to go to sea! If Daqian wants to stand at the top of the world, we must never fall behind others! No matter how much sacrifice we make, we will never stop going to sea!"
Yun Zheng did not shout slogans like "Everywhere I look, there is dry earth".
No inspiring words were said.
He is tantamount to occupying the whole world, but he knows the crisis.
The world is always moving forward.
If you remain complacent, you will be surpassed sooner or later.
Only by constantly exploring and understanding the overseas world can Daqian not fall behind the world.
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Zhao Liuliang couldn't help but remain silent.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Liuliang's eyes gradually lit up, "Your Highness, I want to try!"
"Do you really want to try it, or are you just being impulsive?"
Yun Zheng stared at Zhao Liuliang and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't go out to sea, with your achievements, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous!"
"I really want to try!" Zhao Liuliang said seriously, "I have heard that His Highness said before he went to Shuobei that everyone has to die, some are heavier than a mountain, some are lighter than a feather. I don't understand the truth, but I am willing to die for Daqian, even if I am torn to pieces!"
Zhao Liuliang spoke very seriously.
His eyes gradually became firm.
Yun Zheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Zhao Liuliang said.
Has the word that I forced my father to agree to let me come to Shuobei spread?
"very good!"
Yun Zheng looked at Zhao Liuliang with satisfaction, then turned to look at the others, "What about you? Do you dare to go out to sea again?"
"dare!"
Perhaps influenced by Zhao Liuliang, everyone answered in unison without any hesitation.
"it is good!"
Yun Zheng glanced at everyone approvingly, "Zhao Liuliang, listen to my orders!"
"Little is here!"
Zhao Liuliang straightened up.
Yun Zheng: "From now on, I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Shuobei Navy, with a rank of fourth rank! You will be responsible for supervising the construction of warships and training the navy! Prepare for my Shuobei Navy to go to sea again!"
A fourth-rank title?
Zhao Liuliang stared at Yun Zheng blankly, almost unable to believe his ears.
Before going to sea, he was just a seventh-rank military officer!
Has he become a fourth-rank official all of a sudden?
This is simply a step to heaven!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Liuliang came back to his senses and thanked him loudly.
"This is what you deserve!"
Yun Zheng said, and then looked at the others, "I will draw up your rewards in detail later! You are the heroes of Daqian, and I will not treat you unfairly! As for the navy, I will give you money and people! I have only one request for you, to build an invincible navy for me!"
"Yes!"
Everyone roared in unison.
Yun Zheng turned around and instructed Zhao Liuliang, "I have already looked at the nautical chart you gave Madam Zi. The chart is still too rough. After you recover, you must improve the chart!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Liuliang accepted the order.
"Okay, you all take a good rest, I won't disturb you."
Yun Zheng said this, and left with Miaoyin and Shen Luoyan.
"Farewell, Your Highness, Princess, and Madam Miaoyin..."
Everyone saluted.
Yun Zheng turned around and waved to them before leaving.
"Is this the fourth rank?"
After getting on the carriage, Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with some concern, "If the other soldiers knew about this, would they have any objections?"
This rise is too fast!
You should know that the naval commander of the Daqian court is only a fourth-rank official!
The commander-in-chief of the Shuobei Navy is actually a fourth-rank official?
This is too exaggerated!
Moreover, Zhao Liuliang and his men were fighting desperately, and so were the other soldiers!
Why are people like Zhao Liuliang promoted so quickly?
What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth!
"If you have any opinions, just keep them to yourself! If anyone wants to join the navy, I will agree!"
Yun Zheng said seriously: "Daqian's navy has never been taken seriously, but we must pay attention to it!"
His navy is going to plunder overseas resources!
But now, the development of the navy lags far behind.
Resources from all aspects must be tilted towards the navy in order to build a large naval fleet.
Miaoyin smiled and turned her face to the side, "I noticed that you seem to be particularly obsessed with the water master!"
"I feel so too."
Shen Luoyan nodded with deep approval.
Throughout history, it is estimated that there has never been anyone who values the navy as much as Yun Zheng.
"Isn't this nonsense?"
Yun Zheng looked at the two women with a smile, "If you can't run to someone else's territory, how can you steal other people's things?"
Steal other people's things?
The two girls looked at each other at the same time and smiled knowingly.
Got it!
This guy had this idea!
Since there is nothing left to rob in neighboring countries, are you going overseas to rob?
