Chapter 426: The Sacrifice of the Four Great County Kings Honors Myself

The sea was sparkling, and an ordinary fleet of ships was rapidly heading towards the port of Haizhou.

Today's Datang has already changed greatly, and the biggest change is naturally Haizhou.

Although most of the support for the construction of the South China Sea and other places comes from the Lingnan region, and because of this, the economic aspect of Lingnan has risen to a higher level in recent years.

But in any case, there is still no place that can replace Haizhou.

This can be regarded as another development focus of Datang over the years.

Its Haizhou shipyard has now been expanded into a large shipyard that can build 10 3,000-ton transport ships or warships and 20 1,000-ton warships or transports at the same time.

This shipyard alone has enough to feed nearly 100,000 people, which is not counting indirect feeding.

"Your Highness, the situation is a little wrong!" The dark Fang Yiai stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the dock on the shore, and couldn't help but be silent.

"Isn't that right, why are there white silk hanging everywhere? Even the military port and barracks next to it? The eldest grandson said with a frown.

"Could it be Your Majesty, he ......," Cheng Chuliang was shocked.

"When you left last time, did you hear that Your Majesty was ill?" Duho turned to the captain and asked.

"No, His Majesty was still concerned about Your Highness every day before, and ordered all overseas state capitals to pay close attention to the news of the fleet!" The captain said with a confused face, he really hadn't seen this formation, even when the Emperor Li Yuan died, he didn't have such a big battle, could it really be that the emperor died suddenly?

In this case......

The timing of Li Yuanjing's return is really wrong!

"This king knows!" Li Yuanjing said with a wry smile.

Since Li Shimin has no problem, the answer may have appeared in Li Yuanjing's heart.

Although he felt very confused, what could he do?

"Know what?" The eldest grandson wanted to cry aggrievedly, if his aunt is gone, and his uncle is gone, then their family's life will not be easy.

"You'll know later, remember to put on a few sticks of incense, toast a few glasses of wine, cry louder, and shout heartbreaking!" Li Yuanjing said with a smile.

The voyage was very rewarding and the lessons were also very good.

Li Yuanjing finally understood where those undersea treasures came from, that's right, the treasures they had worked hard and collected for more than three years, and they didn't know which grandson would be cheaper in the future......

When he went out, he had a whole fleet, and when he returned, there were only three rickety wrecked boats, and behind them were a bunch of wooden sampans with men.

Not to mention the sailing experience or anything, these people now want to vomit when they see the sea, and they want to sick to their stomachs when they see fish.

After collecting so many things, what is left now is Li Yuanjing's order that even if he dies, he can't leave it behind, and only the nautical charts that have come along the way are left.

There were six copies of the charts, each of which was wrapped in thick layers of oiled paper and coated with layers of wax, so that even if they were thrown into water and soaked for a year, they would not be a problem.

These five parts were placed on the bodies of Li Yuanjing, Cheng Chuliang, Changsun Chong, Fang Yiai, Du He, and the chief navigator Ren Zhixing.

The six men were placed on different boats to prevent the charts from being lost or swept away by the sea.

Originally, when they went to sea, they were still a group of white and chubby, but now they have become little black and thin people when they come back, black and thin, which is comparable to the Kunlun people (Africans).

However, the biggest losses were still in the flotilla and the navy soldiers, and this time, less than 4,000 people were left who returned.

That is to say, on the way, they lost more than 4,000 people, and not many of them actually died in battle, and not many died of certain diseases, in fact, most of them were drowned, and those pictures were simply a disaster.

When the fleet gradually landed, the deep depression in everyone's hearts was finally relaxed.

After three and a half years, I finally returned to this familiar land again!

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar docks, barracks, and crowds, many people knelt on the ground at the first moment after disembarking, kissing the earth under their feet heavily.

At this moment, they are undoubtedly lucky, but also unlucky.

Luckily they came back, but unfortunately, they didn't know how to tell people where the people who didn't come back were.

Perhaps, their corpses have drifted to some island, or perhaps, they have long since become food for the belly of sea fish, who can say for sure?

……

Li Jing has been sticking to the Haizhou military camp all these years, and Li Shimin did not deliberately suppress the navy belonging to Li Yuanjing because Li Yuanjing was not there.

But there is no special promotion and care, and the navy belonging to Li Yuanjing is still only 50,000 people, but this time it is a complete 50,000 people, all of whom belong to Li Yuanjing's men.

The only regrettable thing is that there is not a single real battleship, only two old ships for training.

Li Jing probably knew that this seemed to be a place of memory by His Majesty, as if as long as the Haizhou military camp was still there, Li Yuanjing would still be there.

But now, everything is different.

These days, Li Jing feels sorry for Li Yuanjing and them, but what's the use?

However, after receiving the news that Li Yuanjing and the others were back, Li Jing instantly felt dizzy in his head, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at the barracks full of white silk, especially meow......

Li Jing, who heard the news, hurriedly stepped on his war horse and ran towards the military port, and saw a group of black guys kneeling on the ground and kissing the earth comfortably.

"You...... What the hell are you guys doing? Seeing that it was indeed these familiar figures, but the complexion had already become unsightly, Li Jing couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Shouldn't you be happy first when you see this king, Senior Brother Yao?" Li Yuanjing walked towards Li Jing with a smile.

"Happy? You're the one to be glad of, right? Your Majesty? And the princes? ”

“???”

Li Jing's words made a group of people look confused? What does that mean? Your Majesty? Ladies and gentlemen?

What the heck?

"Well, here's the thing......" Li Jing understood the doubts in everyone's hearts, so he started the whole thing from the beginning, after the ship used by the imperial court for testing sank naturally a month ago, half a month ago the imperial court sent a decree to hang white silk everywhere, which was almost a declaration of the destruction of the fleet.

It is also the biggest loss of Datang since the opening of the sea, not to mention the size and number of people in the fleet, the people on it alone make people feel sorry.

A prince, the son of four bigwigs in the dynasty, if something happens on land, the entire Tang Dynasty will have to be turned upside down.

"Then, ten days ago, His Majesty posthumously crowned His Royal Highness as the Kaiyuan Great Sage Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Jian as the king of Beihai County, Fang Yiai as the king of Donghai County, Cheng Chuliang as the king of Nanhai County, and Du He as the king of Xihai County......"

"So, you just asked us to put a stick of incense on ourselves? Toasting? And then cry for yourself? Several people looked at Li Yuanjing dumbfounded, they had already guessed this product?

Li Yuanjing smiled slightly, a group of fools, this king didn't accept it, with a wave of his hand, he took back the sea charts one by one from the arms of several people, and said casually: "This trip you can be regarded as a future for yourself, King of the Four Seas, this is a point that your parents have not been able to reach, let a few of you guys get it at a young age, although it doesn't sound very pleasant, but this king feels that the court will probably not take it back, so, let's go......"
