In the dim cabin, Li Zhang sat by the desk and pondered for a long time, then picked up the brush next to him and began to write: "The navy was corrupt for many years and was no longer useful. The reform of the navy is necessary. The future threat will surely come from the sea. Therefore, I established a dividing of the navy into two and establish an independent navy..."

Li Zhang wrote down his experiences and thoughts over the past few days, as well as his suggestions to the navy, etc. on paper. These are his recent gains. Through conversations with Dong Qing and Commander Hu, and his personal communication with the navy soldiers, he already had first-hand information about the navy. However, from the information collected now, the situation of the navy is also quite bad. Without undergoing a major change, Li Zhang's dream of controlling the ocean next cannot be implemented.

As a time traveler, Li Zhang knew very well that the sea was the future. Although Europe is still dark now, Central Asia is even more chaotic, and America and Africa are even more uncivilized continents, the more this is the best time for the Song Dynasty to expand overseas. As the most advanced civilization of this era, the Song Dynasty has the responsibility to spread the light of civilization and let the whole world feel the civilization of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of the shameless words above, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile. Since others can be so shameless, then the Song Dynasty can do it too. This world is the prey of the weak. Since the Song Dynasty is ahead, there is no need to worry about anything. Take this first step directly and leave others with no way out!

After a period of boring voyage, Li Zhang and his party finally arrived in Quanzhou, also known as Licheng. Because the entire Quanzhou city looks like a carp, the Quanzhou city is full of thorns, so Quanzhou Port is also called Thorns Port.

Li Zhang stood at the bow of the ship and watched the ships enter and exit the Quanzhou Port, and couldn't help but show an excited look. Although Hangzhou was also a famous port before, Hangzhou was mainly an inland port, and its harbor was far inferior to Quanzhou. After all, Quanzhou was second only to Guangzhou in terms of maritime trade, and was known as the second largest harbor in the Song Dynasty.

In the cabin behind Li Zhang, Dong Qing looked at Quanzhou Port outside through the gap in the window, and his whole body trembled constantly due to excitement. He returned here countless times in his dream. In the dream, he killed his enemies with his own hands to avenge his family, but the dream is a dream after all. He was even desperate before, and now this dream is finally coming true.

Li Zhang and his friends were riding warships, so they did not enter the civil dock with other merchant ships, but directly entered the Navy Camp in Quanzhou. The so-called Navy Camp is actually located in an independent area of ​​the port and has a separate channel. In addition to warships, civilian ships are strictly prohibited from approaching.

The Quanzhou Navy did not prepare for the arrival of Li Zhang and his fleet. Generally speaking, the navy at each port can only move in its own port area and rarely go to other ports unless there is something special and requires the help of other navigators. However, there will usually be documents to notify the other party in advance to prepare for such things, and will not visit suddenly like Li Zhang and his friends.

So after Li Zhang and his team were led to the Navy camp, the commander in charge of the wing was also alarmed. When Li Zhang asked someone to report his identity, the other party immediately came to greet him. However, when he saw the commander in the wing, Li Zhang couldn't help but frown.

The commander of Quanzhou Naval Corps was named Yu, but this commander did not have the slightest demeanor of a military general. He was white and fat, with a smile on his face at all times, and he looked more like an ordinary businessman. When he came to see him, the commander was so tired that he was breathing heavily. After only a few steps, he became like this, and he didn't look like a military general at all.

"The General Yu Zhao has seen the Marquis of Dingbei, and has long heard of your name. The General of the General has long longed for it. Today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation when he sees Li Zhang!" Commander Yu immediately stepped forward enthusiastically when he saw Li Zhang. Although his commander in the wing controls the military power, he usually only has the power to train troops, and the power to mobilize the army is in the Privy Council. However, Li Zhang came here this time and has the right to mobilize the garrisons, including the Quanzhou Navy, so now the general is temporarily under the command of Li Zhang.

"General Yu is polite. This time I came to Quanzhou and I have something to do. I may need the assistance of your navy at that time. I hope you are ready too!" Li Zhang said as he took out a document, which was written by Zhao Zhen himself and handed over to the Privy Council for approval, so that he could mobilize local troops.

After reading this document, Commander Yu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, let the entire army prepare. As long as you receive your order from the Marquis, you can immediately dispatch troops to wait for your order!"

When Li Zhang heard this, he nodded without comment, and then ordered people to move the luggage on the boat down. In addition, the imperial guards he brought him also got off the boat. As for Commander Hu, these navy troops from Hangzhou, they will be temporarily placed in the camp for rest. Li Zhang may have to use them in the future.

Just when Li Zhang got off the boat, local officials in Quanzhou were also notified that Li Zhang did not intend to keep his itinerary confidential. After all, he brought so many people and came through official channels, so he could not hide the news at all.

Soon local officials came to greet Quanzhou. Quanzhou belongs to Fujian Road, one of the 23rd Roads of the Song Dynasty. The capital of Fujian Road is located in Fuzhou. It is also a bustling port, but it is even worse than Quanzhou. Therefore, many people once proposed to move the capital of Fujian Road to Quanzhou, but it did not travel for various reasons.

The officials who came to greet him were headed by Quanzhou magistrate. The magistrate named Sun was a gentle middle-aged man. When he saw Li Zhang, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Secretary Sun Li pays homage to the Marquis of Dingbei!"

"Magistrate Sun doesn't have to be too polite. I came to Quanzhou to work. I hope Magistrate Sun will help me!" Li Zhang said with a smile. At this time, he had been welcomed by Commander Yu to the living room of the Navy Camp, instead of staying at the dock to have a breather.

"Horse Dingbei is polite. If you have any questions, please give me instructions!" Sun Zhizhou said very politely. At this time, other officials also saluted one after another. Sun Zhizhou also introduced him, and Li Zhang also smiled and greeted these officials.

But at this moment, a eunuch suddenly came forward with a smile on his face and said, "I, Ma Fengjie, see the Marquis!"

Li Zhang had long seen this Ma Fengjie. After all, he was the only one among the officials wearing eunuch clothes. He saw that the other party was slightly fat and had a white face. He looked a bit like the commander. His smile seemed to be harmless. When he saw Li Zhang, he showed a flattering smile. After all, he was a eunuch, the emperor's slave, and Li Zhang was half of his master.

"Are you Ma Fengjie?" Li Zhang looked up and down at the other party a few times, and the smile on his face gradually faded, which made the atmosphere in the entire living room suddenly become solemn.

Ma Fengjie also felt something was wrong at this time because he didn't know that Li Zhang came to him. In fact, Li Zhang was very sudden when he came to Quanzhou this time, and Zhao Zhen temporarily blocked the news, so Ma Fengjie had no idea that Dong Qing had sued him, and even his godfather Huang Qiu, who was behind him, has fallen.

"Slave... I am Ma Fengjie. I wonder what the marquis has to give?" Although Ma Fengjie felt something was wrong, he still spoke calmly at this time, but there were a few obvious cold sweats on his forehead. As for the local officials such as Sun Zhizhou next to him, they also saw that something was wrong at this time, which made them all look different, and some were nervous and some sneering.

After Li Zhang looked at Ma Fengjie for a moment, this also put a lot of pressure on the other party. Finally, Li Zhang sneered and finally said, "You are quite brave. You dare to bribe the palace. Huang Qiu has sued you. Your Majesty has ordered to throw Ma Fengjie into prison and send him back to the capital to listen to the defeat of the Hou!"
