Chapter 206: Expedition

20,000 fanatical believers were born in Khitan, it can be said that they are skilled in bows and horses, and they are the only ones who vomit when they get on the ship, and they train in turn at sea, and finally select 2,000 people who can adapt to traveling by boat, plus 3,000 Lingnan soldiers, a total of 5,000 people are running in and training under the leadership of Liu Renliang.

The latest warship is more than 50 zhang long, and the widest point is nearly 20 zhang, which is larger than the three warships of the former Sui Wuya, and is slightly larger than the treasure ship of Zheng He in later generations, which can be said to be a behemoth, which can seat 3,000 soldiers and 1,500 sailors.

The ship has four layers, the lowest is the sailor's starting place, ballast cargo, the second layer is the grain, cargo stacking point, the third layer is the warrior, the sailor's rest place, the top is the deck, each layer can be completely closed, especially the bottom two layers, the use of fully enclosed compartments, even if the general rock, did not immediately smash the hull, can ensure the safety of the ship, unless in the event of a major storm.

The steel plate of the ship's jacket is painted with a kind of anti-rust black paint researched by Taoist priests, and the wooden board inside the ship is brushed with tung oil, which can also be waterproof and insect-proof, so it can be said that it is the invincible overlord of the contemporary sea, and only needs to crush everything.

It's not that it can't build a bigger ship, it's just that there is not so much power, and the new ship starts with full load, and it takes 1,000 sailors to work at the same time, and after starting, there are 12 large and small sails on the ship, whether it is downwind or headwind, it can sail quickly, with the help of ocean currents, it can be more than a day and a thousand miles.

There are four new ships in total, and there are thirty-two eight-ox crossbows on board, and no other weapons are installed, which is completely unnecessary in Feng Daiwen's opinion, and the most important function is transportation, because they rely on volume at sea, and no other country can compete with them.

The new ship was named the expedition by Li Shimin, which was No. 1 to No. 4, and only after half a year of trial voyage, he was going to start building a long-distance ship and began to explore the unknown place.

The Turks were also pardoned by Li Shimin, and selected 30,000 people who would not get seasick and would follow them to Wadao one after another, and 30,000 other Turks formed one of the new Twelve Guards, and the rest of the people all moved to Liaoxi, where they would be the future residence of the Japanese prisoners, and they would learn to farm under the guidance of the Han people, and watch the Japanese prisoners.

The Turks were now divided into two by Li Shimin, and one part was settled in Shuofang, where they cultivated land and grazing, and were governed and supervised by Zhang Gongjin.

The rest is Feng Daiwen's business, and it is no wonder that Li Shimin will arrange so many Turks in Liaoxi, it is really Feng Daiwen who has left too much shadow in the hearts of the Turks and can be shaken, plus the development of Liaoxi is in full swing, the only lack is the population, and with the experience of relocating the Khitans, he can quickly and steadily deal with the Turkic people.

Liaoxi is now simply a complicated place, there are more than 200,000 Han people, 300,000 Khitan people who have returned to their hearts, and now there are more than 300,000 Turkic people, fortunately, the Khitan people are now very content with the status quo, and there are many soldiers, 20,000 fanatics, and 10,000 rattan armor soldiers are Feng Daiwen's greatest confidence.

Moreover, there are also Cheng Jin's people and horses in Youzhou, staring at the alien race at any time, of course, it may also be staring at Feng Daiwen, after all, the sacred heart is unpredictable, and there are so many people and horses, how can it not be too serious.

The new Khitan patriarch of Liaoxi lost his mind, and Feng Daiwen can be said to be an old acquaintance, and he also brought his original tribe of 30,000 people to Liaoxi, it seems that he has the trust of Li Shimin, and he has been reappointed to manage Turkic internal affairs and assist Feng Daiwen.

"The last general has seen the governor!" As soon as he arrived in Liaoxi, he saw Guang'an's mother and daughter who were still in confinement, and Feng Daiwen, who hurried back to Liaoxi, spoke proficient Guanzhong dialect, and didn't know that it was actually a Turkic without looking at his face.

"Haha, the general hasn't seen him for a long time, and even more so than in the past, it's really gratifying." Feng Daiwen laughed and said, both of them are people in the military formation, so they naturally go straight to each other.

"In the future, please ask the governor to take care of the Turks." The expression of the stubborn mind is quite complicated, the person in front of him can be said to be one of the culprits who led the destruction of the Eastern Turks, and the death of his subordinates can be said to be uncountable, but now they have to rely on him.

"The general is polite, the Turkic people have paid the price for the mistakes they have made, after labor reform, and now they have joined the Tang Dynasty, I should abide by the holy words and treat them equally, but I still want to ask the general to appease them, after all, Liaoxi is now complicated, and everyone does not understand the language, which is easy to cause misunderstanding." Feng Daiwen said.

"Don't worry, the Turkic people have just begun to live a normal life, everyone cherishes it, if someone doesn't cherish it, they will be sent to see the Sirius God!" Stubbornly said in an affirmative tone.

The more he spoke, the colder his tone became, this thirty-year-old general, with a heart of the Virgin, wrote to Li Shimin several times in order not to be regarded as hard labor, and the important ministers of the court were visited several times, and sent a lot of gifts, just hoping that all the Turkic people could become Tang people like Hui and Khitan.

Maybe it's because two years of work have smoothed out the edges and corners of the Turks, maybe it's because I've seen the prosperity of Datang, and I don't want to return to the cold life before.

The Turks honestly obeyed the arrangement, because they were used to obeying the orders of the Tang Dynasty and did what they were asked to do every day, and they had formed a conditioned reflex in the past two years.

From the initial relocation of Liaoxi, to the later resettlement of mountain people, and the Khitan joining, officials of all sizes already have a complete set of experience.

After nearly half a month of arrangement, there was no chaos, Feng Daiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and after discussing with the stubborn thinking force, he selected 10,000 Turks who did not get seasick.

On the third day of October, four huge warships docked at the Qinhuangdao wharf, and nearly 20,000 mixed soldiers began to board the ships, accompanied by ten large ships of thousands of materials.

There were also 3,000 people who traveled with them, which were brought with them as logistics people, and they were also the first batch of people responsible for colonizing the island country.

For cleaning up the island country, this is something that Feng Daiwen has always been obsessed with, and this expedition Feng Daiwen is more excited than before, not only most of the soldiers are Khitans and Turks, but also bring Xi Junmai and Feng Daihuo, two murderers.

For the defense of Liaoxi, there are brothers who come to guard Yingzhou and Danzhou, and they are not afraid of Goguryeo's attack, saying that they should not have the courage, and leaving Chen Hu, Wei Chi Baoqing, and Li Deshu to command Ma Zhou, which can be said to be quite stable.

As for the stubbornness and loss of thinking, naturally he also followed him to Wadao, Li Shimin's trust is one thing, Feng Daiwen is not at ease to leave an appealing Turkic in Liaoxi, after all, Liaoxi is Feng Daiwen's hard work, and the grain seed base of Datang for countless years in the future.

Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you for your recommendation vote, thank you very much.
