Chapter 356: I am willing to listen to the commander's command
After resting for the night, Li Dongsheng took Xue Rengui and them to the big ship to inspect the next day.
The big ship has a deep draft, and it has to stop far away. They were rowed over by sailors in a dinghy, and then climbed up the rope ladder to the warship.
Xue Rengui, who rode a horse and cut people as a common thing, began to tremble after sitting in the boat, grabbing the side of the boat with both hands, his fingers turned white because of the force, he pursed his lips and didn't dare to say a word, and the guards next to him were the same, and the sailors who watched the rowing were disdainful: Just this kind of landlubber still comes to our navy to show off its might?
Li Dongsheng was okay, looking at the big ship in the distance with a calm expression and asked Lai Heng: "Do these warships have anything to say?" ”
"Back to the chief manager, the technology and personnel of my Datang Navy ships basically follow the former Sui. The shipbuilding technology of the former Sui was already very developed, and when the conquest of Goguryeo, the Western Meridian used the Wuya ship to transport the army across the sea, but due to several defeats, the loss was not small. After the founding of the DPRK, we took over the remaining personnel, and it took more than ten years of development to have such a scale. But it is still much worse than the peak of the former Sui. ”
Li Dongsheng nodded, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the main focus was on the land, and the surrounding grassland peoples should be defeated first, and there were no foreign powers to invade from the sea in this era, and the development of the navy was not an urgent matter.
When they got to the bottom of the big ship, they realized how big the ship was, the surface of the ship was at least ten meters high from the water, and the sailors on the ship threw ropes down and asked them to climb up by themselves. In fact, it was also the navy that made it bad, and everyone was not convinced by Li Dongsheng's arrival, so they used all kinds of tricks to make it difficult for him, preparing to make him unspeakable.
Xue Rengui made the first move, it was not possible to take a boat, he took this hand, and followed the rope a few times to get to the top, and waited for a few more guards to go up, Li Dongsheng refused Xue Rengui's suggestion that he wanted to use the rope on his waist, and then they put it up. He picked up the hem of his robe and tucked it around his waist, then grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Lai Heng behind him looked at Li Dongsheng's climbing back, and had a complicated mood: This guy is not easy to deal with.
A group of people got on the ship, and the officers and soldiers on the ship gathered to be reviewed by the leaders, Xue Rengui was angry when he saw their loose and lazy shape, and whispered in Li Dongsheng's ear: "Master Hou, these sailors don't look like they haven't woken up, where are they like my Datang soldiers?" If my soldiers were like this, Lao Tzu promised to pack them up like his third grandson. ”
Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "Different branches of the military, of course the temperament is different, the soldiers and cavalry on the land are all fighting in formation, so the discipline requirements for the soldiers are high." The soldiers of the navy are desperately following the wind and waves in the sea every day, and everyone is open to life and death, so it is this kind of lazy shape, the commanders will turn a blind eye, and the boat can not be driven by one person, come to the general, am I right? ”
Lai Heng hurriedly said: "The chief manager is meticulous in his observations, and in a word, the lower officials admire it." ”
The soldiers on the ship saw that Li Dongsheng understood himself so well, and his unruly eyes softened a lot, Li Dongsheng waved his hand: "Everyone is scattered, such a big sun is panicking, I don't know the situation when I first arrive, and I have nothing to say, just one sentence, all actions are subject to command, otherwise military law will be engaged!" Everybody go about their own business. ”
Lai Heng took Li Dongsheng to look around on the big ship, and Li Dongsheng had a preliminary understanding of the operations of the Tang Dynasty naval army.
Originally, Li Dongsheng had the impression that the ancient navy was shooting arrows at each other from a long distance, and then after approaching, it was a collision, and then a long pole with a hook hooked the opponent's boat, and the two boats were stuck together, and then they jumped to the gang to slash and kill. Qianqian
But in fact, when Emperor Wen Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty attacked the Chen Dynasty, he found that the Sui army's water warfare ability was not strong, and in order to ensure the victory of the war, he specially sent Yang Su, the marching marshal, to practice secretly. Yang Su was not sure about winning this war, and in order to increase the probability of victory, he had to invite a master who knew how to fight on the water to help the Sui Dynasty give advice.
As the saying goes, "Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang." "In the end, the masters brainstormed to create a secret weapon – the lever. What's so amazing about this racket? It is just an ordinary wooden pole, with a large stone of several hundred catties tied to it, when it is not in use, it is hoisted, and when it is used, loosen the fixed rope, and the large stone of several hundred catties will be smashed on the opponent's warship. When striking an enemy ship, the slap stone does not succeed all at once, but is repeatedly smashed until the boulder shatters the enemy's ship.
In ancient times, the ships in our country were made of wood. Therefore, as long as Chen's warship reached the range that could be attacked, the generals gave an order: "Let go." "Bang bang" a few times, Chen Jun's wooden boat, was smashed out of a big hole, and this tactic has been handed down in the future, and now the Tang Army continues to use it.
Li Dongsheng was noncommittal, and continued to inspect: "Come to the general, what should you do to transport the Fallen Kingdom Duke and their team across the sea?" Is it all at the bow of the ship? ”
"Back to the manager, please go down and check this." Laiheng is very detailed introduction:
"The former Sui used nailed tenon method for shipbuilding, which not only used metal materials such as iron nails, but also used a mortise and tenon structure to improve the strength of the hull. Our current ship is called a building ship, which has three floors, but it has poor mobility. The Wuya battleship built by the former Sui Yang Su is a kind of building ship, and the smaller ones around it are called fighting ships, and there is a female wall on the side of the ship, which is the one with the largest number of equipment in the navy..."
Li Dongsheng walked down the stairs, it was dark when he boarded, because there was no good lighting, everything in the cabin was blurry, Li Dongsheng frowned and asked: "The army is crowded here?" ”
"Yes, this is where people live, and the horses are all in the cabin below?"
"Centaurs are separated?" Li Dongsheng is also strange that this design is very humane.
"Yes, otherwise it is easy to have an epidemic."
After staying on the ship for a whole day and understanding some basic information clearly, Li Dongsheng convened a meeting again in the evening: "Now that Your Majesty has come to the city of Pyongyang, and the level of Goguryeo is just around the corner, our navy must think about how to cooperate with Your Majesty and completely defeat Goguryeo!" ”
Lai Heng said: "Chief, our navy, the navy has received the task of transporting the army across the sea, and then receiving them back to China, now we are deploying operations, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”
Li Dongsheng nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I said, but everyone also came to Goguryeo to participate in the war, and our navy watched the soldiers of the government make great achievements, and then went back to their hometown to raise their eyebrows?" Then your grandson asked you, how many did you kill when you conquered Goguryeo? You can only laugh and say I'm waiting in the back boat? ”
Li Dongsheng lifted the pride in the hearts of the generals of the navy army in a few words, yes, why can those landlubbers go home proudly and divide the fields and be exempted from taxes, but we can only get some military salaries. At the same time, they said, "I want to listen to the commander!" ”
