Chapter 1372: Navy
"Tu!" On the tall battleship, Li Jin waved his hand, and the Tang soldiers who had already landed immediately rushed into a tribe on the island, and in the blink of an eye, there were screams from inside, and countless natives were slaughtered.
This is already the third tribe that Li Jin exterminated in Jinzhou, and these tribes have long taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but just some time ago, a gold mine was found nearby, and as a result, these tribes were greedy, not only annexed this gold mine, but also killed the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, which caused Li Jin's anger, all the tribes involved in this matter were all slaughtered by him, and today this is one of the masterminds of this matter.
Although Li Jin's subordinates were all navy, it was too simple to deal with these natives who did not even have iron weapons, and after only a few hours, this large tribe of more than 10,000 people was slaughtered, although a few people fled into the jungle, but there was nothing to worry about, and then Li Jin ordered to set fire, and the whole tribe fell into a sea of fire.
However, just a few big tribes could not extinguish Li Jin's anger, and in the next two months, he led the navy to clean up those natives everywhere in Jinzhou, even if some natives tribes did not participate, but under the anger of the Tang Dynasty, they could not escape.
"General, if it's just for a gold mine and a few merchants, there's no need to go on such a killing spree, right?" On the flagship, Li Ju asked Li Jin softly at this time, although he is Li Jin's cousin, there is no father and son in the army, and he is now serving in the navy, so he usually treats Li Jin as a general.
"Nanyang is too big, and there are too many natives, if we want to control this place, we must clean up these natives, after all, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!" Li Jin also smiled lightly at this time and said, when he led the navy into the South Seas, because he had no foundation, he mainly surrendered to the local natives, but this also left some hidden dangers, and now is the time to clean up these hidden dangers.
"I see, thank you General for clearing up my doubts!" Li Ju heard Li Jin's words and saluted again, since he came back from Chang'an last time, he entered the navy to learn how to train the navy with Li Jin, and now he has some experience.
"You're here, you've been in the Navy for a while, and you're already familiar with the Navy, but there's only a limit to what you can learn from me, so I'm going to let you go to the battleship to do things, so that you can really learn something!" Li Jin suddenly spoke again at this time, since Li Chengqian handed over Li Ju to himself, then he had to cultivate it well, otherwise he would be sorry for Li Chengqian's trust in him.
"Thank you, General!" Li Ju immediately thanked him again, he naturally knew that if he wanted to learn the essence of the navy, he had to join the navy in person and work out step by step, otherwise it would only be on paper, and now Li Jin is helping him create opportunities.
Seeing Li Ju's appearance, Li Jin also nodded appreciatively, Li Ju almost perfectly inherited Li Chengqian's intelligence, and he has suffered setbacks since childhood, and his personality is more tenacious than Li Chengqian, as long as such a person is cultivated more, his future achievements will definitely not be worse than Li Chengqian.
After Li Jin swept the South Seas, he arranged several fleets to patrol along several major shipping lanes, and Li Ju was placed in one of the fleets, but although he was Li Jin's cousin, Li Jin did not give him too high a position, but served as a senior on a medium-sized warship, because only by starting from the bottom can Li Ju really learn useful things.
However, Li Jin led the main fleet back to the Navy's station, although the Navy has captured the South Seas, but in order to facilitate communication with the Tang Dynasty, so the headquarters of the Navy is located in Zhenzhou, that is, the southernmost tip of Hainan Island, where the west side is Jiaozhou and Linyi, and the north is Guangzhou, not far from the South Seas.
Zhenzhou was originally extremely desolate, but with the entry of the Tang Navy, it quickly became a prosperous port, and the navy went to sea for more than a year, so many officers and men of the navy moved their families here, which also made Zhenzhou more and more prosperous, and many overseas Hu businessmen also came here to do business.
After Li Jin returned to Zhenzhou and arranged the fleet, he immediately returned to his mansion, only to see that Wu Mingkong had already prepared wine and food in the mansion, and when he saw Li Jin coming back, he smiled and said: "Husband has worked hard to fight outside!" ”
"It's just a matter of clearing out some uncivilized natives, it's not hard work, but you also have to be careful about your body, I came back in the days to accompany you to give birth!" Li Jin said softly at this time, and when he spoke, his hand couldn't help but be on Wu Mingkong's towering belly, this was already their fifth child.
Hearing her husband's words, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but smile with relief, she and Li Jin have been married for many years, but the relationship is the same, of course, Li Jin is high and powerful, and occasionally he will be tempted, but with her, Li Jin didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
"Husband, I have already done everything you told me before you left, several strongholds have been opened up on the Xinzhou side, and our people have temporarily settled down there, and listening to the news from there, the east of Xinzhou is indeed very suitable for living, and the land is also very fertile, as long as it can be reclaimed, it will be no problem to feed tens of millions of people." Wu Mingkong suddenly thought of something at this time, and said with a smile at the moment.
"Great, with Xinzhou, our Li family will also have one more way to retreat in the future." Li Jin couldn't help but be excited when he heard Wu Mingkong's words, when he left Chang'an before, Li An told him to leave a way out for his family overseas, and Xinzhou is the future of Australia, after this continent was discovered by Li Jin, he temporarily concealed it, and also moved some trustworthy people over.
"Yes, eldest brother, he has to plan for a rainy day, we also have to plan for our children and grandchildren, and didn't my cousin send Li Ju to you, I guess their father and son also want to have their own fleet, so as to leave a way back for themselves in the future." Wu Mingkong said with a smile at this time.
"Cousin, if he stays in Datang honestly to retire, he doesn't have to put so much effort into it, but if he wants to do something for Datang, he must find a way out for himself, otherwise he will definitely be suspicious in the future." Li Jin also sighed when he heard Wu Mingkong mention Li Chengqian's father and son, although he may also be suspicious, but his situation is much stronger than Li Chengqian.
"Actually, not necessarily, I have thought about it carefully during this time, and I can guess how much His Majesty thinks!" As soon as Li Jin's words fell, I saw Wu Mingkong covering his mouth again and laughing.
