As soon as Li Dongsheng said this, Zhang Liang was speechless, his appointment level was as high as his, just now he felt that he would not give face to recruit others, and in a blink of an eye, the two were equal. He smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it turns out that Lantian Hou has been promoted, congratulations!" ”

Li Dongsheng returned the salute and said: "Your Majesty suddenly gave me this errand, I am still confused, what is the situation of the navy, where did Yun Guogong just come from, please give me some guidance!" ”

"I don't know much about the sailors, we're just taking a boat along the way. How do I, an outsider, know the specific inside story? Zhang Liang felt uncomfortable, a stinky kid actually climbed to the same height this year.

"Lantian Hou, I heard that you are a student of Ma Zhou, come here and come here, let's catch up!" Seeing that Li Dongsheng was a little embarrassed, a veteran next to Zhang Liang grabbed Li Dongsheng and left.

"I don't know if you are..." Li Dongsheng didn't know him.

"Old man Changhe!"

"The younger generation meets the founding uncle!" Li Dongsheng hurriedly saluted, this is his teacher's benefactor.

In 631 A.D. (the fifth year of Tang Zhenguan), Tang Taizong Li Shimin asked each of the officials in the court to write an article about the gains and losses of current politics. Chang He was born as a military general, and he couldn't dance and write, and when he saw that the emperor wanted him to write articles, he couldn't help but get anxious. When the doorman Ma Zhou learned the news, he took the initiative to write this article for Chang He in the spirit of repaying his kindness. Chang He was very happy, so he asked Ma Zhoudai to write it himself. Later Tang Taizong was taken aback when he saw it, he knew that Chang He was not good at writing, how could he write such a thorough article. He didn't believe that this was written by Chang He, so he asked Chang He if he wrote it. He is always honest and does not take credit. He honestly said to the emperor: "The minister does not have this ability, this is written by the minister's disciple Ma Zhou Daichen." Li Shimin was very happy when he heard that there was such a genius under Chang He's disciple, and immediately wanted to meet this talent. He thought of doing it, and ordered someone to call Ma Zhou to Chang He Mansion, and after the interview, Li Shimin admired Ma Zhou very much, and immediately asked Ma Zhou to serve in the subordinate province in charge of confidentiality, and now it is the Zhongshu Order.

"You and I don't have to be so polite." Chang He touched his beard and said: "You go to the navy to serve, I will tell you what is inside,,, otherwise the generals will be discordant and prone to accidents." ”

It turned out that the navy of the Tang Dynasty basically inherited the navy of the Sui Dynasty, and in the wars of the last few decades of the Sui Dynasty, the navy also lost a lot of talents, but these navy troops survived in the troubled times, and they were very grouped internally and extremely distrustful of outsiders.

Even Li Shimin could only appoint and dismiss the generals according to their wishes, and the current naval army in Goguryeo had a total of 28 ships, led by Lai Heng, the son of the Sui Dynasty's future Hu'er, who had been playing on the boats with his father since he was a child, and was extremely proficient in navigation. The navy army was also very convinced of him.

Li Dongsheng suddenly parachuted over, and it was estimated that the soldiers below would never be convinced, so Chang He said earnestly: "Then Lai Heng is also in his early thirties, and he has always been arrogant, and when he sees that you are younger than him and want to suppress him, he will definitely say goodbye to you." ”

Li Dongsheng smiled: "Then let's see if the descendants of Hu'er are as brave as him." "Yunxuan Pavilion

Where is the naval battalion of the Tang army in Baigou Listening, when Li Dongsheng and his group were still dozens of miles away from the seaside, they were stopped by scouts, and after hearing that Li Dongsheng was the new commander of the naval army, he looked at them with suspicious eyes for a long time, and then took them back to the camp suspiciously.

From a long distance, I asked about the strong smell of the sea, Xue Rengui and they were all northerners, and they couldn't accept the smell of the smell: "How can the water army stand this fishy smell every day?" ”

Li Dongsheng looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Everyone will have this smell for a while in the future." ”

"In the end, I will always lead my subordinates to meet the chief." At the front of the team is a strong man in his early thirties, who looks particularly black and strong because he is often at sea, and his hairy beard is also very conspicuous, look at the dark faces of those officers and soldiers in the back, Xue Rengui and those who have been fighting in the field for a long time are also much whiter than them, as for Li Dongsheng's face, he is whiter than ordinary women.

Li Dongsheng stepped forward and helped Lai Heng up: "Come to the general to exempt me, Your Majesty asked me to come to the navy temporarily, I haven't been here before, I don't understand anything, and I will come to the general to help me in the future." ”

Lai Heng's voice was loud, as if he didn't have any worries about Li Dongsheng's arrival: "The chief manager is serious." I'll introduce you to the Governor's colleagues in the Navy... ”

Li Dongsheng smiled and nodded with them, saw this guy Cheng Jimo in the crowd, raised his eyebrows towards himself, and then entered the barracks with everyone, dozens of big ships were moored on the sea, and there were small boats patrolling around to see the big ship undulating on the sea, Xue Rengui and Daniel Zhang secretly said: "How can you be a water army?" I can now see that the ship has begun to faint. ”

Daniel Zhang also lamented: "Who is not, I never thought that I would go to sea by boat one day." followed the young master to the Tang Dynasty. ”

After entering the handsome tent, Li Dongsheng sat on the main seat, and the generals below were in automatic order according to rank, Cheng Chumo stood in the penultimate position, and Li Dongsheng was not polite: "Everyone, Your Majesty asked me to come to the navy, it is really difficult for a strong man, I was born as a soldier, and I have fought a few battles." But I really don't know anything about the water army. However, this ignorance refers to the previous combat methods of the naval army, and now I am bringing a new combat weapon, which will change the appearance of the entire naval army, and his combat scope will be transferred from rivers and lakes to the sea, and we will no longer be called the naval army, but the Tang Royal Navy. ”

Everyone present didn't expect Li Dongsheng to be so humble at the door, and as soon as he entered the tent, he became so strong, and even changed the name of the navy, but he was appointed by the emperor as long as he didn't want to rebel, he could only listen.

When Li Dongsheng finished the meeting, Daniel Zhang and they also arranged Li Dongsheng's accommodation and everything, Laiheng arranged a reception banquet, the army was not allowed to drink, after eating enough, Li Dongsheng left Laiheng, no matter what his attitude was, Li Dongsheng also had to express his attitude, if this deputy with real power made himself bad, it would be really a bit tricky.

"I know you're not convinced." Li Dongsheng got straight to the point and said directly: "Actually, I don't want to come, so don't worry, I will always press on your head, when we met, I said that it was a temporary escrow, I don't know if you have paid attention, now I still want to tell you that I am only temporary, and I will return to Chang'an as soon as the war is over." ”

Lai Heng hurriedly said: "How dare the last general have any objections to His Majesty's appointment, please rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with the chief to do a good job in the affairs of the navy." ”
