Chapter 498: Zhenguan
"If you want to attack moving objects at sea, it is very difficult, and the technology of the navy is also very considered, so I Datang must cultivate more excellent navy!"
Zhao Yin looked at the ship in the distance and said.
"Well, that's right, I'll leave this matter to you kid!"
As long as it can be handed over to him, Li Er doesn't want to interfere.
"The son-in-law plans to establish a special school to train naval talents, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it!"
The reform of water warfare is definitely not the kind of struggle that used to be, so he must explain the essence of these modern operations, otherwise, the advantages of these steel monsters will be completely buried by these people.
"Yes, without further ado, I will do it immediately, I will fully support it."
Li Er directly stated at the moment, this only one steamship has such great power, if there are more such monsters, he is confident that he can sweep all overseas countries.
Without such a long-distance warship, they could only expand the territory near the Tang Dynasty and could not reach beyond the ocean.
And no one can guarantee that those places will not threaten Datang in the end!
Therefore, anyone who threatens himself, according to Zhao Yin's temper, is directly eradicated, and there will be no chance for them at all.
"The steamship is so powerful, even though there is only one, but I think that on the sea, it can run amok without scheming."
After seeing the power of this thing, Li Er's heart couldn't help but become hot, the former Tang Dynasty, the navy army was going to lag behind those overseas countries.
But after the appearance of the spire-bottomed sailboat, he already knew that the technology of the Datang ships was now not lagging behind any country.
Now, the birth of the steamship proves that it will be the hegemon of the sea, and can shuttle in front of the door of any overseas country at will.
"By the way, if you make some steel ramming angles and put them on the hull, wouldn't this steamship be even more powerful?"
Li Er looked at Zhao Yin expectantly, for fear that this kid was careless and forgot to load such an important thing above the steamer.
"Yes, yes, but it doesn't do much, because it's better for a steamer not to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy."
Zhao Yin shook his head slightly, after all, the ship is sailing on the sea, as long as it is a collision, then it is impossible to avoid damage to the hull, so it is not a very urgent situation, he does not recommend doing this!
"Your Majesty, this first steamship has been successfully studied, please give it a name!"
For these problems, there will be time to explain to Li Er in the future, and it is true to name this latest warship for now.
"Name-giving?"
Li Er was stunned, he didn't expect that this kid's thoughts would be on this, but it was right to think about it, this was a major breakthrough on the Datang ship, and it should be commemorative.
"Let's call it the Zhenguan steamer!"
Zhenguan is his era name, and Li Er named it after this, so you can imagine how important the status of the steamship is in his mind.
"Okay, from now on, this warship will be called Zhenguan, and the son-in-law will explain it later, and order someone to brush these three words on it."
Zhao Yin said with a smile.
"Prepare the boat, I will go up and see it myself."
Li Er was still very satisfied with Zhao Yin's arrangement, and after explaining, he couldn't wait to board the ship to find out.
"We are willing to accompany Your Majesty!"
A group of ministers hurriedly expressed their attitudes, such a good opportunity to perform, and at the same time to be able to witness the style of the steamship, no one wanted to miss it.
The dock of the shipyard is huge, and there is absolutely no problem with stopping a steamship!
Therefore, after Li Er finished explaining Zhao Yin, he walked quickly towards the dock.
"Signal the Zhenguan to start returning now."
Zhao Yin ordered the guards holding the flag in his hands on the side, which surprised Li Er again.
Because, this guard just raised the flag in his hand, which was different from the direction he had just waved, and did not speak, and the Zhenguan in the distance, as if he had been summoned, quickly drove back!
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be surprised, because the soldiers on the Zhenguan are far away from us, and if you want to give orders, it is impossible, so you use this flag to guide their actions, and when it is empty in the future, the son-in-law will sort out a set of practical flags and hand them over."
Zhao Yin explained for everyone.
In fact, this flag just plays a role in navigation, but in Datang, they used to act independently, and they have not been systematically trained at all, so they are curious about this.
"Not bad!"
Li Er was sincerely admired.
Such a whimsy, I really don't know how this kid came up with it!
The Zhenguan slowly stopped at the edge of the dock, and under the escort of the guards, Li Er boarded up steadily, and then everyone also walked up one after another!
"Sail!"
Standing on the deck, Li Er was suddenly full of pride, waved his hand, and directly gave an order.
Li Er and the others stood on the bow of the boat, sailing along the Weishui towards the Yellow River, and with the Jinyang riding the wind and waves, Li Er's heart became more and more excited.
After driving a short distance, he saw a small hill, Li Er stretched out his finger and gave an order to the guards around the artillery: "Flatten that hill!" ”
The Zhenguan slowly turned its bow and turned sideways to the hill, and in the roar of the artillery, stone chips flew and dust flew up.
After a while, the dust settled, and the hill had disappeared in front of everyone's eyes!
"Your Majesty, it's not too early, we should return home."
Looking at Li Er, who was still full of interest, Zhao Yin couldn't help but open his mouth to remind.
"If I can also drive the expedition myself, how good it would be!"
Looking up at the sky, Li Er was very regretful, with a look of unfinished business.
This kind of warship must be very cool to use for conquest, but he is the king of a country, and if he wants to go to sea to conquer in person, it is simply a fool's dream!
The sea is very dangerous, and if he says this idea, without thinking, these ministers will inevitably jump out.
Even if it's a dead recommendation, he won't let him recruit it personally!
"Return!"
In the end, Li Er still gave the order, and he had no regrets about being able to feel the power of this thing in person.
On the way back, the Zhenguan was discovered by many merchant ships, which couldn't help but make everyone's eyes widen.
"This ...... Is this an iron ship? ”
As we all know, the weight of iron, that is incomparably heavy, as long as you put it in water, it will inevitably sink to the bottom!
And now, what do they see?
An iron ship actually appeared in front of them?
How could this not shock them?
"Did you see, this big guy doesn't have sails, no oars, oh my God, how is that possible? How he exercised. ”
"Look at the top of this big guy, constantly swallowing clouds and spitting fog, it's just a living monster!"
After seeing this scene, many people's faces suddenly turned pale, for fear that this big monster would come after them.
