"See Father...!"

Empress Changsun pushed Li Shimin over, and now Li Shimin also likes to come to the beach for a walk, and in order for Li Shimin to come out safely and quickly, Li Zhan designed a wheelchair for his father, and Empress Changsun pushed it out easily.

"Well... Good....! "It is still very difficult for Li Shimin to say a lot of things now, but word by word, he still says it very clearly.

"Your father, you have to come out every day to see the sea, otherwise you won't be happy, oops... I said, what if all the body is well and return to Chang'an, the largest lake in Chang'an.

But the lake doesn't have the momentum of the sea....! ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled and complained slightly.

Everyone laughed happily, and at this time Li Ke smiled and said, "Father... When we are in good health, we are not in a hurry to go back to Chang'an, and we will stay in Dengzhou for a while.

Don't you know my father, the day before yesterday, I went to sea again with the sixth and seventh children... Or whaling ... This time we caught a big whale weighing a ton of whale, oh my... That's really exciting.

When my father is all right, our brothers will accompany this father to go whaling, at sea... That's where real men go on adventures. ”

"Hehe... That's right...! Li You also quickly squeezed over and said with a smile: "Father... The most important insert was stabbed by me, and when my father was well, my godfather used a spear gun, although this spear gun was invented by my eldest brother, but I used it best. ”

Looking at his son's appearance of rushing to talk to him, Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, you must know that this is a look that has never been used before, the emperor will ignore many things after a long time.

And after he didn't become an emperor, those things seemed to come back, although there was some emptiness if he didn't become an emperor, but soon this emptiness was filled by another thing.

"Grandpa... Grandpa Huang....! ”

After the sons finished speaking, the grandchildren rushed over, these grandchildren rushed over under the leadership of their favorite daughters, led by Li Mingda, followed by Li Ping, Li An, Li Ju, Li Hao, Li Yuxi... Several children came to Li Shimin's side, and Li Shimin immediately showed a happy appearance.

"Well... Good... Good...! Li Shimin kept saying good words, and it could be seen how much he liked his little grandchildren.

The little guys happily gathered around Li Shimin, and Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "Come... Come.... Let's push your imperial grandfather together to take a look at the sea....! ”

"Great...!" Li Mingda cheered, followed by a group of children cheering happily, and walked to the beach with Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Looking at the backs of his parents and children, Li Tai suddenly took the lead in speaking: "The eldest brother is right to take his father to Dengzhou to recuperate, you see, the body is already in good health, and Doctor Sun also said that it is really amazing to have such a great recovery."

And the father will get better and better in the future! Saying that, Li Tai looked at Li Zhan and said, "Thank you, big brother...!" ”

"Haha...!" Li Zhan smiled and waved his hand: "It's superfluous to say thank you to me, that's also my father, in fact, I actually want to thank you, because of your trust in me, and you came with me."

You know, at that time, some people said that I brought my father to Dengzhou in order to trick you into coming to Dengzhou, and then help the prince to trap you. ”

When Li Zhan laughed, Li You on the side raised his hand and said with a slightly apologetic expression: "Hey... Eldest brother... That's what's wrong with you, isn't that what my uncle said, that big fool, blinded by hatred.

However, I've always supported my eldest brother, so you can't give me little shoes. ”

"Haha... Look at the sixth child, if the eldest brother wanted to put on small shoes for you, you would have finished a long time ago, and you would still be like now, playing in Dengzhou every day. ”

Li Ke walked to Li You's side and patted Li You's shoulder vigorously.

Li Su, Li Tai and others also laughed.

However, after laughing, Li Ke looked at Li Zhan and said, "Big brother... I heard that there is a new attack warship at the Dengzhou Shipyard, can you tell my brother if you have any ideas. ”

"What...?" Li You was stunned and said: "Dengzhou Shipyard, there is a new warship... What is the new battleship? ”

Li You looked at Li Zhan with a look of surprise.

Li Zhan looked at Li Ke with some playfulness and smiled: "It's okay... Fourth, you are well-informed enough, the new battleship has always been made in secret, can you tell me, how do you know? ”

"Hey...!" Li Ke smiled and scratched his head: "Big brother... Don't blame me, I accidentally found it when I went to repair the ship, and then I often went to see it, seriously, big brother... You're really a genius, and I really admire how you came up with this. 1”

Li Zhan was praised by his younger brother, and then smiled slightly: "Whatever you want... Actually, I don't want to think about it, but we have to get ahead of the curve now, and there are some things that I still have to work on. ”

When Li Zhan said this, he actually had in his mind the scene that thousands of years later, our country was bombarded open by warships from other countries, because the scene of this scene was too close to Li Zhan's era, so Li Zhan had no way not to think about it.

Although Li Zhan didn't want to change history too much, Li Zhan really couldn't bear to let his country be crushed by foreign iron hooves.

As we all know, with the opening of the Age of Discovery in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, European maritime power developed rapidly in both quality and quantity. And the Ming Empire in the far east, since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, the four seas are calm, and the long coastline is peaceful.

There was no pressure and no demand, and under the border defense of the Mongols in the north, coastal defense was naturally put aside.

Even in the early Jiajing period, the coastal defense of the Ming Empire was shattered, the armament was eroded, the warships were not left, and a large number of soldiers fled. In the end, a large-scale Japanese rebellion broke out in the middle of the Jiajing period, and the Ming Dynasty had to reorganize Haiphong under such a situation.

However, the Japanese were not very powerful maritime forces, they were similar to the nomads who entered the sea from the sea, and their main purpose was to plunder wealth deep inland, so they did not choose to fight the Ming Dynasty sailors at sea.

The pirates often drove small and light ships, quickly broke into the offshore waters to land, and then scattered and plundered. In the years when there was no radar, it was difficult to effectively intercept on the surface of the sea.

For example, Yu Dayou once drove a big boat because the speed was not as fast as the Japanese boat and the draft was too deep, so he could only helplessly watch the Japanese escape calmly from the shallow water.

In this case, in order to be able to effectively intercept the discovered Japanese ships, the Ming army could only change the large ships into small ones, and the 400-material warships were changed to 200 materials, and then changed to 150-material warships and 100-material warships, so as to avoid the embarrassment that they could not catch up even if they were discovered.

Therefore, when the Ming army dealt with the enemy of the Japanese Invaders, it was generally dominated by small and medium-sized ships, and the large ships were limited to 9~10 zhang long Fu ships and Guangzhou ships of warships, and the firearms were still mainly based on the traditional fire bricks, fireballs, rockets, bowl guns and other arson and mortar firearms, plus a small number of Franc machines and a four- or five-pound ship's first cannon, which was enough to have a crushing level advantage over the Japanese ships.

But these firearms could only deal with the weak Japanese and small groups of pirates at sea.

Moreover, this kind of model similar to law and order warfare is actually detrimental to the development of maritime power.

Just when the ships of Europe and the United States were getting bigger and bigger, the ships of our country were getting smaller and smaller, and then with the entry of the Qing army, large-scale sea ban and closure of the country came. The development of Chinese warships came to an abrupt end.

At the same time, Britain and the Netherlands have entered the era of sail battleships, and the two sides are pulling the battle line, using battleships equipped with dozens of heavy guns to bombard... Then, by the time of the Opium War, a European battleship would already be able to sling the entire Chinese Navy...!

During the Qing Dynasty, the main warship of the Chinese naval division was called the Catch Boat... 70~108 feet (about 22.4~34.5 meters).

The second is the 50~70 feet (about 16~22.4 meters) long sand boat and the double canopy boat are used for attack and pursuit, and the second is the 20~50 feet long (about 6.34~15.36 meters) long bluff boat and sentry boat for chasing the sentry and scout.

Among them, the large ship is more than 36 meters long, about 7 meters wide, 24 cabins, and can carry 1,500 stones. Each ship is equipped with more than 30 sailors and boatmen, and 80 sailors. The ship is 23 meters long, 6 meters wide and 2 meters deep, with more than 20 sailors and boatmen and 60 sailors. The large and medium ships are all two-masted, double-rudder, and double-iron anchors.

And the ships of Europe and the United States at that time ... It is already possible to install fifty guns on the flanks, what do you say is the advantage of competing between the two?

Li Zhan didn't want this to happen again, so Li Zhan was ready to develop his own navy, which was different from the past, when the Ming Dynasty was in power, Zheng He had a very strong navy.

The average reader knows that Zheng He's "Seven Voyages to the West" was a great feat of world navigation at that time, 87 years earlier than the voyage of Columbus in the West, and it is still a world record. The fleet led by Zheng He was larger than the current US aircraft carrier battle group, with 62 large ships and a total of 27,800 personnel

At present, the world's largest aircraft carrier is the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States, with a total strength of about 6,000 people, which is only a quarter of Zheng He's fleet.

Zheng He's ship to the West was called the "Great Treasure Ship". According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the big ship is 44 zhang long, and one zhang in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 3.2 meters now, that is to say, Zheng He's big ship was about 142 meters long at that time, which can be called the "aircraft carrier of the Ming Dynasty".

But Li Zhan did not agree with Zheng He's trip to the West, although Zheng He's trip to the West was great, which was not wrong, but the significance of his trip to the West was not very great, just like a rich man showing off his wealth, that's all.

On the contrary, you, the rich man, also exposed your wealth, so that later the rich man was remembered by the garbage.

What Li Zhan wants to do this time is to be more ruthless, the battleship built by Li Zhan is called the Mulan Ship... It is a kind of warship in the Song Dynasty, "the boat is like a huge room, the sail is like a cloud hanging from the sky, and it is several zhang long." ”

The boat can carry a thousand people at a time, and the ship stores a year's worth of grain.

In order to solve the supply of non-staple food, pigs are also raised on the ship to make wine, that is, the so-called "a boat of thousands of people, accumulate a year's grain, and make wine among them".

Such a giant ship is simply a floating island in the sea, except for the difference in armament and power, it is very similar to today's aircraft carriers.

The intention of building the Mulan boat is actually obvious, Li Zhan will soon start his colonial road, go to him to show the prestige of the country, and benefit the world, Li Zhan does not need this kind of false name, Li Zhan wants to learn from the empire, only in this way can Li Zhan ensure that his children and grandchildren can still protect themselves after thousands of years and will not be wantonly bullied.

"Big brother...!" Li Ke looked at Li Zhan, who was a little distracted, and asked, "Are these ships prepared for us?" ”

Li Zhan was pulled back to reality by Li Ke's voice, and at this time, Li Zhan looked at Li Ke and asked, "Fourth, do you know Mulan?" ”

"Mulan...?" Li Ke thought for a while and said, "It's General Mulan, she... Of course I know that serving in the army for my father is very powerful...! ”

"Our ship is called the Mulan Boat, and she will go on the expedition for us... I remember I told you... Datang can only be regarded as a corner of the world in this world, there is a lot of bigger world on the sea, as long as you work hard, you can all become a king or an emperor. ”

Li Zhan's words made Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, Li Su and others feel tight.

followed by Li Ke looked at Li Zhan and said, "Big brother... Is it possible for us to go to sea...? ”

Li Zhan looked at his younger brother and smiled, "The Mulan ship will be completed three this year... The ocean is not enough, but it is more than enough to fight a dozen small island nations near us.

I would recommend the first battle of Goguryeo ... The purpose of this battle is to learn, you learn naval warfare, and then build your own naval team, and in the future, I will provide you with weapons, ships, at that time... Go and take your own land. ”

"Big brother...!"

All the princes looked at Li Zhan with excited expressions, and at this time, Li Zhan also exhaled slightly.

This breath has been saved by Li Zhan for six years, and Li Zhan has thought about it... Although he doesn't want to change the world's technology, Li Zhan must change the future of his country.

After all, Li Zhan is Chinese, and he can't stand his country being beaten passively all the time.

Therefore, Li Zhan is ready to learn from the empire on which the sun never sets, and when he was in the Tang Dynasty, he formed an empire on which the sun never sets, and from such a change, he hoped that his country could be redeemed.

Of course, Li Zhan can't know what will happen in the future, but Li Zhan thinks that he has already made efforts, so he can be regarded as worthy of his heart.

Because of Li Zhan's decision, the military power of the Tang Dynasty was activated again, but of course, Li Chengqian fully cooperated, but cooperation is cooperation, so what kind of crime is appropriate for Goguryeo?
