Chapter 863: Ran to Tianzhu?
After studying some questions about the law with Lao Wei, the time of the early dynasty finally came, Li Chengqian went to the main hall in the middle of a group of bigwigs, sat down in his old position, and at the same time tried to be as far back as possible, hiding himself in a place that was not very noticeable, so that it was convenient to take a nap and sleep when he was bored for a while.
The time is already October, the autumn harvest has passed, and it is time to recuperate, and there is nothing major in the court, except for the revision of the law, which is the matter of Li Yuanchang's extradition.
But this has nothing to do with the ladies in the court, the left and right are the family affairs of the Lao Li family, a little doll in her teens, who wants money or power, and even those families who are used to being against Lao Li will not help him speak.
Therefore, after the old man announced Li Yuanchang's crime of treason, there was no noise in the hall except for 'obeying the holy judgment', and Li Yuanchang's fate was decided in this way.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, in November, the South China Sea Fleet of the 'Sea Wolf' finally had news, but this news made Li Chengqian feel that he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Your Highness, what kind of thing are you doing here?" Relying on his seniority, Lao Dugu looked at the gloomy conference room and asked with a smile.
"Old Dugu, looking at the girl you haven't seen for several years, do you have the leisure to ask which one of the palaces is doing, and you are not afraid that the girl will ignore you?" Li Chengqian replied to the question.
This is the first time that the South China Sea Fleet has been pulled into Lao Cui's conference room, and Li Chengqian has called Dugu Yufeng very much, after all, the father and daughter have not met for several years, so it is reasonable for people to meet. And now that Dugu Yufeng and Heizi are fighting hotly, they won't let Lao Dugu see each other again, and it is estimated that the next time they meet, someone will call this old guy grandpa.
After joking for a while, the atmosphere was almost adjusted, and Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed lightly and opened the conversation: "General Dugu, where did you go some time ago?" Why not in the territory of Datang? ”
"Your Highness, do you know Tianzhu?" Dugu Yulin and his old man glanced at each other and said in place of the old man.
"You know, what do you want to say?" Li Chengqian faintly had a hint of expectation.
"Some time ago, we had a battle with Tianzhu in the south...... Dugu Yulin raised his eyebrows, but he was interrupted by Li Chengqian halfway through his words: "Fought with Tianzhu people?" Those Ah San ran to the South China Sea? ”
Ah San? Dugu Yulin and the others were stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ah San was.
However, everyone knows Li Chengqian's habit of giving people nicknames, so they didn't dig deeper, Ah San is Ah San, anyway, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he just calls Tianzhu people A cat and a dog is also the freedom of others, no one can care, just call it together.
So after a short period of stunned, Dugu Yulin said with some embarrassment: "It's not Ah San who called, yes, it's us who called." ”
"What? You went to the Bay of Bengal? Because he was too surprised, Li Chengqian did not keep his mouth shut for a while, and said the name of the place in the future.
But fortunately, everyone is used to Li Chengqian taking off the line from time to time, and no one cares, Dugu Yulin, Li Zhen and others just nodded like pecking rice, and they didn't care if they went to the same place as Li Chengqian.
"Well, you're amazing!" Li Chengqian sighed in admiration and asked instead: "As a result, who won?" ”
"Naturally, we won, those Ah San couldn't help but beat, and they only beat a few times before they coaxed, kneeling on the boat and kowtowing, and I don't know which god they worship." Speaking of fighting, Bao Qi, the second son of the old lieutenant Chi's family, immediately jumped up with his eyebrows, as if this conference room could no longer accommodate him.
"Baoqi, you can pull it down, if it weren't for Lao Tzu firing two rockets at their boat, you would have reported to the Hades Palace by now." Just when Yu Chi Baoqi was in high spirits, Li Zhen interrupted his boasting, but if he knew that he was being dragged into a dream by the underworld judge now, it is estimated that he would not have the leisure to ridicule each other.
"Cut, you can pull it down, Ah San's monkeys still want Lao Tzu's life? Believe it or not, even if you don't fire those two cannons, Lao Tzu can still kill them all. After all, Yu Chi Baoqi is not very old and competitive, and after being swept up by Li Zhen, he became angry and ashamed.
"Alright, almost, don't blow it." Li Chengqian watched these two brothers who had been playing around with each other fighting together, and knew that if they continued like this, they wouldn't be able to tell what was going on even if it was dawn, so he simply opened his mouth to interrupt their mutual hatred.
"How can this be blown, that's what it is." Yu Chi Baoqi muttered and sat aside, without retorting again.
"Why did you go to Tianzhu? Haven't you been patrolling the South China Sea all this time? When everyone was quiet, Li Chengqian asked again.
"They were the ones who provoked the incident first, and they sealed the strait more than half a year ago, so we couldn't get out of this sea area at all, so this time with new warships and equipment, we naturally have to go over and get face back, and at the same time open the strait." Dugu Yulin smiled and talked about what happened.
It turned out that in the middle of the sixth year of Zhenguan, the fleet that had been coming from the direction of Tianzhu attacked the Strait of Malacca when Dugu Yulin and they were not paying attention, and occupied it, charging high tolls to passing ships.
At this time, the South China Sea Fleet was responsible for transporting food, and only a few warships were carrying out escort tasks, which also caused the dilemma of insufficient troops.
Another point is that the Strait of Malacca is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is occupied, it will be occupied, and Dugu Yulin and others, who are half-soldiers and half-bandits, have no way to deal with this matter, and there is no reason to transfer ships from the South China Sea Naval Division.
In this way, Dugu Yulin, who had been waiting for the opportunity, waited until Li Zhen and their battleship returned, so that they had enough strength, and then launched an attack on Malacca, and after repelling the Tianzhu ship guarding there, they chased them all the way behind their buttocks, and killed Tianzhu themselves unrelentingly, and then they stopped and returned to the camp.
Of course, the two sides won and lost each other in the course of the battle, but in general, the 'sea wolf' equipped with rockets still had the upper hand, and as long as it fought in the weather without wind and waves, it basically won a lot every time.
Li Chengqian silently listened to the statements of Dugu Yulin and others, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "What do you think of the combat power of the Tianzhu people?" If the same number is compared with my Tang Sixteen Guards, what are the chances of winning? ”
Dugu Yulin seriously recalled the several battles he had experienced, and said slowly: "It's not comparable to the sixteen guards, depending on the equipment or something, they are at most similar to the border army, and if they really fight, our 'sea wolves' can beat the three of them one by one, but this is a naval army, and the ministers dare not guarantee what the situation is on land." ”
