Chapter 1083: Expedition and Search
At the beginning of the fourth year of Yonghui, in the Jiangnan Shipyard, dozens of warships were on the water, the hull was painted with vermilion paint, and many key parts of the hull were wrapped with iron sheets, like a bloodthirsty water monster, showing its fangs into the distance.
The construction of the shipyard continued, but today all the workers stopped what they were doing and came to the shore to watch.
On the deck of the ship, the soldiers stood energetically with weapons in hand, and although they did not move, they put great pressure on the people on the shore. And the dragon flag on behalf of the Tang Dynasty is inserted on the ship, and a flying dragon can be seen hovering in the air from a hundred meters away, this is the flag specially designed by Chen Fei for the Datang fleet, I believe that it will not be long before these flags will flutter all over the world!
The sailor was about to set out, and Chen Fei led the generals to hold a swearing-in meeting on the shore.
Originally, it was planned that the sailors should go out at the end of last year, but due to the weather, it was finally delayed until the beginning of this year. The advantage is that there is a medium-sized treasure ship that has been built and can participate in this expedition, and there are already three small treasure ships, plus other warships, horse ships, freshwater ships, transport ships, grain ships, etc., there are nearly fifty ships that will go on the expedition. In terms of scale, it is enough to crush any fleet in this world!
Especially the pitch-black cannon on the deck makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts! This is not a ship! This is a real monster! No one, no country can defeat such a fleet, and at sea, this is the king!
Also participating in the pledge meeting were many envoys from small countries in Southeast Asia. At Chen Fei's request, Li Zhi specially approved them to go to sea with the fleet to visit the expedition.
So this is not only a conquest in the simple sense, but also a demonstration of the great strength of one's own country! The purpose is to deter these small countries and pave the way for future expeditions to the South Seas.
Therefore, this expedition is of great significance, only success, not failure!
When the envoy from the small country saw the fleet anchored on the river, he showed a shocked and incredulous expression as Chen Fei wished, and even some envoys shouted, saying that this fleet was a miracle from heaven! Because in their country, there are only fishing boats the size of bamboo rafts, and such a large ship has never heard of it at all!
Chen Fei was very satisfied with the reaction of these small Southeast Asian countries, and then he clapped his hands, and the soldiers escorted up eight blindfolded prisoners, and the prisoners were taken to the front, and were unceremoniously kicked by the soldiers from behind, kneeling on the ground, and then dragged and dragged to the guillotine, eight people, lined up in front of the military flag, locked on the guillotine.
Chen Fei glanced at the envoys, then cleared his throat and led the soldiers to swear.
Tang Jun followed Chen Fei and shouted with high morale, but the faces of those foreign envoys became ugly. I don't know if Chen Fei intentionally or unintentionally, the envoys who came to set off with the army were exactly eight, corresponding to eight small countries in Southeast Asia!
At the end of the oath, Chen Fei glanced at the executioner, glanced at the eight foreign envoys with a smile, and said coldly: "The oath is over, kill the criminal, sacrifice the flag!" ”
The prisoner who was detained on the guillotine suddenly howled and cried, and the executioner would not be soft because of their crying, so he raised his big knife and swung it fiercely. The head hit the ground with a bang, and the blood suddenly splattered on the ground!
The faces of several foreign envoys twitched almost simultaneously as the knife fell, and this time it was not on the prisoner's neck, but on their heads, and the neck was cold, and cold sweat soaked their backs.
Suddenly, Chen Fei shouted: "Soldiers! Birth to me, Datang! Raise me, Datang! Ann me, Datang! Rich me, Datang! How can the preferential treatment of the country be repaid? ”
The soldiers excitedly shouted: "Revenge for your life!" Die for your life! There are no regrets in this life to enter the Tang Dynasty! Datang! Wansheng! Datang! Wansheng! Datang! Wansheng! ”
The roar shook the water on the river, startling the foreign envoys on the shore. What kind of momentum is this? What kind of belief is this?
With such an invincible belief, where can the world be the enemy? Compared with the Tang Army, those soldiers in their country are simply scum who don't even have five combat effectiveness, and they are not of a grade at all! I'm afraid that if King Tang sends such an army to attack them on a whim, even if he exerts all his national strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop it!
It is worthy of the Tang Army! It is worthy of being an invincible army in the world!
The earth-shattering roar combined with the bloody picture undoubtedly shocked these foreign envoys. They have seen the prosperity of Datang in the prosperous Chang'an, and they have seen the cold and powerful side of Datang here, which has a great impact on their hearts.
Chen Fei believed that when they went out with the army, this impact would be infinitely magnified, and it would inevitably be passed on to their own king in various ways, and at that time, even if they did not conquer these effects in the future, it would not be a problem to firmly control them!
"Soldiers, listen to orders!" Chen Fei shouted: "Board the ship!" Get ready to go! ”
The soldiers on the shore heard the order and boarded the ship in an orderly manner. There were about 8,000 soldiers on this expedition, carrying a large number of advanced weapons, and it was not a problem to capture Liuqiu Island, which was still in the barbarian era. The craftsmen and officials on the shore sent off the soldiers on the expedition.
Chen Fei smiled and invited eight foreign envoys to board the ship. The envoy smiled ugly, his steps softened, and he got on the ship. Soon, the anchor was retracted, the sails were hoisted, and with the push of the propeller at the bottom of the ship, more than 50 fleets went to sea along the Yangtze River.
This is also Chen Fei's first time to go to sea by boat, even in his previous life, he has no such experience.
However, standing on the main ship and looking out at the fleet and the river in front of you is indeed a very rewarding thing. After all, this is a fleet that he built with his own hands!
Behind him are two generals - Xue Rengui and Cheng Chumo.
After half a year, the two have become familiar with the basic playing style of the sailor. Cheng Chumo's comprehension is a little worse, and his comprehension of water warfare is not very fast, he still prefers to arrange troops on land. This has something to do with the military education he received since childhood. Who made Cheng Yanjin a general who is extremely good at charging into battle, and his son naturally inherited Lao Tzu's genes, and it is not a problem to lead the troops to charge, but if you want him to lead the boat to charge, it is indeed a little difficult for him.
So Chen Fei positioned him as a "marine"! It is mainly responsible for the battle after the ship lands and docks.
And Xue Rengui is a surprise to play it all! Chen Fei originally thought that he would be like Cheng Chumo, who was only good at land warfare, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, he went from a person who could vomit on a boat to a naval general.
Whether it is arranging ships or organizing offense and defense, it is very decent, some generals who train sailors are amazed at Xue Rengui's talent, just need a little more actual combat experience, he will inevitably become an excellent sailor general!
Chen Fei didn't expect that he had an idea at that time, and he really picked up the treasure. Although Xue Rengui did not get the credit he deserved in history in the Goguryeo War, at sea, there was an even greater credit waiting for him, and now he ....... But we're just getting started!
