Chapter 499: Actual Combat

"Don't bewitch the public here, don't talk if you don't have knowledge, I don't know if you have seen the train outside Chang'an City, you don't need cattle and horses, you just need some coal to be able to travel thousands of miles a day, if I expect it to be good, this iron ship should be the same as the train!"

The boatman looked at the crowd with disdain.

Although he is only a low-level person, his knowledge is extraordinary, and through the train, he can immediately think of this iron ship.

I think that when the train first appeared, the ignorant people thought that it was a monster attacking the Tang Dynasty, and some people even prayed to the gods to worship the Buddha and pray for the protection of the gods!

In the end, it wasn't the court that began to refute the rumors, and everyone knew that that thing was called a train.

Well, now the Iron Ship has appeared, and these ignorant fellows have started again!

"Chang'an is really not comparable to remote areas, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have dreamed that an iron boat could float on the water, and I didn't need sails and oars, if I went back and told my family, they would definitely think I was hysterical!"

The merchants who came from afar couldn't help but admire, these are unheard of things.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of Chang'an, if you enter Chang'an City, I will keep your eyes and can't stop."

The boatman looked proud.

The steamer was moving very fast, and in just a few moments it returned to Weishui again, and then returned to the shipyard, where it was moored at the docks.

When Li Er and the ministers got off the boat, their bodies were all stumbling, and they all felt a little unsteady on their feet.

Even some of the old ones have started to vomit, and the feeling of seasickness makes their bodies unbearable.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, the ministers are rude!"

After a moment of relaxation, the ministers bowed to Li Er again.

"It's okay!"

Li Er didn't blame everyone.

It is normal for people who don't often take boats to have such a reaction.

"Waste, all of them are wine bags and rice bags!"

Seeing that they were all looking like they were going to die or live, Cheng Yanjin looked at them with disdain, as if he couldn't do it, and he insisted on going up.

Hearing this, everyone glared at Cheng Yanjin angrily!

"It's so wet! Datang has such an artifact, why can't it sweep the world? ”

On the way back, Li Er looked full of ambition.

The sea can't stop Datang's footsteps now, and it is estimated that it won't be long before those borderless lands on the other side of the ocean will also be included in Datang's section!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, with such an artifact to help, it will surely sweep the world."

These veterans can't help in any way when it comes to creating, but when it comes to sycophancy, no one will be their opponent.

"I'll leave the affairs of the navy to you kid, don't let me down!"

Since the ship was proposed by this kid, then only this kid knows how to do things in the future, and they, outsiders, can't make any suggestions at all.

"Obey ......!"

Zhao Yin lazily arched his hand, "But what is taught in the school is only some theoretical knowledge, if you want the navy to really take shape, it has to be actual combat!" ”

He was originally going to go back, but he suddenly thought of this problem, so he reported it.

"Since you kid said it, there must already be a solution to it, right? The current Datang Guotai Min'an, if you want to find water bandits, it is quite a difficult thing! ”

For this, Li Er also frowned, there is no enemy, how can the navy actually practice?

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, using the navy to deal with water bandits, wouldn't that be killing chickens with a knife, too big and too useless!"

The water bandits in the south are simply a plate of loose sand, and if they are exterminated by the navy, it will inevitably feel like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.

What's more, the steamer couldn't sail into those small lakes and rivers at all.

"You kid is less yin and yang weird there, just say your suggestion!"

Li Er's face was a little ugly, is this little bastard mocking him?

"Nanyang!"

Zhao Yin opened his mouth leisurely and only said two words.

"If I'm not mistaken, this place you told me at the beginning is a place where rice can ripen three times a year?"

Li Er looked at Zhao Yin with some surprise, could it be that this kid is going to invade there?

"That's right, piracy is rife there, and it can be used as a place for naval combat!"

Zhao Yin looked at Li Er with some surprise.

He just mentioned it at first, but he didn't expect that this old guy's memory would be so good!

"No! Nanyang is too far away from here, if you go there to train troops, it will definitely cost the people and money, so it is better to practice near the Yellow River! ”

Without waiting for Li Er to speak, Dai Xuan jumped out.

You must know that recently, the treasury has been pouring out money, and there is no income at all, if he goes to such a distant place to train troops, I am afraid that the treasury will immediately run short, which is definitely something he does not want to see.

"Don't hesitate to talk about this matter in detail, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to agree!"

Wei Zheng arched his hand at Zhao Yin.

He knows that this kid is a person, and he will never do loss-making business, nor will he do things that he is not sure of.

If he proposes this, he must have a purpose!

"My Datang now has the strength to sweep the world, and the countries on the other side of the ocean will gradually disappear on the world map and become a part of my Datang!"

Zhao Yin looked around and said with a serious face.

In fact, he doesn't need to explain these things, as long as anyone who can read the map knows that there are still many places overseas that are not the territory of Datang.

"Moreover, the feeling in the sea is completely incomparable with the river, and only by training troops in the real sea can we train a truly powerful navy."

Without the baptism of actual combat, how can it be possible to train a lion in a hundred battles?

So, those pirates were the first targets of his crushing attack!

After hearing Zhao Yin's reason, Dai Xuan frowned and pondered, and stopped talking.

Although he is stingy, he also knows that the money that should be spent must not be saved, and the money that should not be spent, he will definitely not use more money!

"Then take a walk in Nanyang, the current Datang is not short of money for cultivating the navy!"

Li Er made a decision at the moment and supported Zhao Yin's decision.

How can a soldier who has not seen blood be called a warrior?

Without excellent skills, how can it be possible to sweep the world?

"Don't know when you plan to let us set off in this actual battle?"

Wu Changxu hurriedly asked.

Although he is now in charge of the navy, after all, it is also the first time to fight, and he has no clue at all!

In the face of the unpredictable sea, the instinctive reaction of human beings is to resist, but as a soldier, he has an unshirkable duty to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone once again set their eyes on Zhao Yin, because they all knew that Zhao Yin's words at this time would definitely have more weight than Li Er!
