The land war in the west, in fact, has nothing to say, and it has little to do with Qin Hao, with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, it is over, the Tang Dynasty has not been afraid of anyone, in fact, there is no need to mobilize at all, the country has long been excited, and they have been shouting to teach the Western Turks a painful lesson.

Li Shimin is really angry, and he wants to take the royal conquest in person, in his original words, he wants to destroy the Western Turks with the power of thunder, otherwise he will not be able to dissipate the anger in his heart.

It was a big deal to drive the expedition, but no one objected to it this time, this battle was fought at a speed, it was obvious that the Great Eclipse had formed an alliance with the Western Turks, otherwise the two countries would not have been able to cooperate so tacitly with a distance of thousands of miles, this is to compare with each other, to see whether the Great Eclipse destroyed Persia first, or the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Western Turks first, the two unmasked powers in the world, just took others and competed for the first place in the world.

Once the Western Turks are allowed to become bigger, not only Persia will not be protected, but even the entire Western Regions may rebel.

As the so-called two mothers-in-law are difficult to be daughters-in-law, those small countries in the Western Regions are actually the worst victims in this war, at this time the small countries in the Western Regions are actually in a similar situation to the small countries in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu called, they were ordered to send troops and grain to fight the Han Dynasty, and when the Han Dynasty fought in the past, they were ordered to send troops and grain to fight the Huns, and sometimes they stood on the wrong team and were to be won after the autumn to settle accounts, so that in the end the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were not injured, but those small countries were all dragged to death in the end.

Six hundred years have passed, the vicissitudes of life, just change the soup but not the medicine, after all, the Western Turks have the advantage of land, they are nomads, and they are closer to the small countries in the Western Regions, this time they can't win, it is estimated that eight or nine out of ten these small countries have to change masters.

The war on land has little to do with Qin Hao, but the sea is bigger, although he has long since asked about the Green Gang, but the Green Gang is still his root, and in the same way, if the Green Gang has something, he will still think of him as the old gang leader.

Zhang Liang stepped down, and the first thing that the soldiers of the Green Gang thought of was Qin Hao, calling for Qin Hao to take charge of the Green Gang and lead everyone to fight back is getting louder and louder, although many people know that Qin Hao actually doesn't know how to fight at all, but they just have such self-confidence, confident that as long as Qin Hao makes a move, there will definitely be a big victory.

In this regard, Li Shimin also came to Qin Hao to talk, but Qin Hao refused very clearly and simply, not touching the military power, not being in charge of the Green Gang, this is the bottom line he set for himself, otherwise he is really afraid that he will die at any time.

Moreover, Qin Hao knew very well that he was two catties, and let him command the army to compete with the Great Food Sea, and it was estimated that he was not as good as Zhang Liang.

However, just because he can't lead his troops into battle doesn't mean he won't do anything. At the very least, the right to recommend people is still there.

"Do you recommend Pei Xingjian to be the Governor of the Water Division?"

"Yes, the minister heard that the virtuous do not avoid relatives."

"Pei Xingjian, his qualifications are a bit shallow, I can arrange for him to be the deputy governor, otherwise, it will not be enough to serve the public."

"The minister also knows that Pei Xingjian's qualifications are still shallow, but the minister thinks that in terms of familiarity with water warfare, no one in my Datang should be able to surpass Pei Xingjian, and after all, the Qinggang is different from other government soldiers, rashly sending a person they have not been in contact with as the commander, may not understand their internal complex relationship, may not be able to be like a finger, the minister thinks that now is the extraordinary time, it is too late to discuss seniority."

Li Shimin groaned for a long time and asked, "If I let Pei Xingjian be the governor of this water master, can you guarantee that he can win?" ”

"No, but the minister can guarantee that he won't lose."

Li Shimin was furious, "What I want is not not not to lose, what I want is to win, it is a big victory!" It's a hearty victory! ”

"Your Majesty, the Qinggang Sailor, is used to bullying the weak on weekdays, and there are few times when the large corps comes out, the big water division, its ship is not weaker than us, its training is better than ours, and its bravery is also better than us by a few points, now the Tang Dynasty is newly defeated, both the strength and the number are slightly inferior, simply we are closer to the battlefield, we can focus on harassment, eat some of them when the strength is superior, and retreat when the weakness is weak, so, we can be undefeated."

Li Shimin's face sank like water, and he said: "According to what you say, we can't avenge this revenge?" ”

"Yes! Because, Datang has me. ”

"You? Aren't you unwilling to go to sea with your troops? ”

"The benefits of water warfare, the first in the warship, if the overall combat effectiveness is one hundred points, then ninety of them, are ships, my Datang and Da Shi are almost the same in the warship, it is a tie, the remaining ten points, he wins us some, and I can build a ship, as long as Pei Xingjian does not lose for a year, my new big ship is built, and the minister assures His Majesty that from now on, there will be no pieces of Da Shi to be launched."

"So confident?"

"Yes. But ask Your Majesty for one thing. ”

"What?"

"Money! The new ships are powerful, but 。。。。。 It's expensive. ”

"Ha, then you can't tell me, you know more about the Tang Federal Reserve than me, don't touch the money in the treasury, I want to use it to fight, you can spend as much as Tang Lian stores and seals, but if you can't win."

"The minister is guaranteed by the head of the minister and Pei Xingjian, and he is willing to make a military order."

"Good! Go, I appointed you as the patrol envoy of Yangzhou Road, patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, and the manpower and material resources of the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River will be requisitioned by you unconditionally, and I will wait for your big ship. ”

"Your Majesty, thank you."

…………

Out of the door, Qin Hao felt very refreshed.

Li Shimin seems to have really not asked about the Tang Federal Reserve, but he is really clear, the Tang Federal Reserve's new paper money budget this year, the limit is 300 million yuan, so if he builds a ship, it will be enough to build a gold ship.

In fact, he can't do this, the treasury is a little bit of money, it is really not necessary to fight to the death with the big food, how can he leave some for him, he can't spend 100 million yuan on shipbuilding, and the Qinggang has made a lot of money through sea trade over the years, at this time to build a new ship, why can't he take out a little, plus private fundraising, let those businessmen who have something to do with maritime trade donate points, and he will take 30 or 50 million is enough.

Qin Hao didn't come when he built the sea ship, so not only navigation, but also shipbuilding was learned from others, everyone was naturally half a catty, and now Qin Xiaohao is here, Qin Xiaohao, who has played with the ship model, is here, Qin Hao plans to let those old hats of the big food see what a ship is! Boats with artillery.

Gunpowder and artillery, Qin Xiaohao has already designed it, but it has not been made, this thing is actually not as easy to make as in the network, after all, the flowering catapult is not far away, the lethality of solid bullets is limited, and this thing is heavy and stupid, it can't be used in field warfare at all, it is naturally invincible to attack the city, and it is much worse to defend the city, not to mention that Datang does not need to defend the city, and Datang's opponents generally have no habit of building cities, and promoting it will do more harm than good.

But is it a water war。。。。。 That's not called war, that's slaughter.

The model of the Galen has been built a long time ago, but since you want to do it, you have to do it big, Datang is so rich now, especially after the issuance of paper money, those who have money don't know how to spend it, so Qin Hao decided to build the San Trinidad (the top super ace in the Spanish Armada).
