Chapter 1910: The Old Man Is Gone
In this world, there will always be some people who think about a lot of things, and there will be some people who like to think of themselves as saviors, and when there is something to do, they want to correct this and fix that, always thinking that they are right and others are wrong.
In reality, there are many such people, in the unit, among friends, we always have the opportunity to meet one or two people who like to point fingers at others.
Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang, and Shui Yue were like this, they had a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity with some special means and ancient secret techniques, and they were originally ready to deal with it, but when they found that things had changed, they did not develop according to the path they knew before.
So these old guys panicked, the unclear future made them full of fear of the unknown, and they couldn't wait to change it all to get it back on track.
Speaking from the heart, it is difficult to tell whether this kind of thing is right or wrong, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to get things back on track, after all, everything must have a certain law of development, just like a ship sailing on the sea and an airplane flying in the sky need a route, and you can't run around at will.
So in some ways, Yuan Shoucheng and they didn't do anything wrong.
But in another direction, is Li Chengqian wrong? Those who have been changed by him, each of them is not without reason, Du Ruhui has lived for more than ten years, how many things has he done for Datang in these ten years? Empress Changsun lived for more than ten years, and how much cannibalism did she avoid?
So who is at fault in this whole thing? From an objective point of view, it seems that no one is wrong, and everyone has a reason to continue.
……
Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace.
Li Chengqian was sitting in the study that once belonged to the old man and now belonged to him, and in front of him, Li You and the others had already come.
Although the Daming Palace that has just been built is very good, but the old man is still there after all, Li Chengqian really has no way to erase the old man from there, and he sits in that position, so he can only squat in the Taiji Palace like the old man shrank in the East Palace for three years.
After about half an hour, the people gathered by Li Chengqian finally arrived, and the black pressure in the imperial study was overwhelming.
"Yang Tian, let's talk about the situation, what's going on in the South China Sea!" Li Chengqian's cold eyes swept over everyone, forcing himself to turn all his thoughts to the old man's side, as for Changle's matter, he could only put it aside first.
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the current position of the Emperor Taishang should be here!" Yang Tian took a slender stick and clicked at a certain location of the South China Sea chart that had just been hung on the wall: "But now we have not received any news from this location at all, and the outpost near this location has not found any trace of the fleet. ”
"When was the last time you received a message from the Emperor?" Because he had already received some news from Su Meng before this, Li Chengqian's heart was already prepared, so after listening to Yang Tian's narration, his performance was quite calm.
"It was forty days ago, and at that time, the position of the Emperor Taishang was here, and the direction of the fleet was towards Yazhou." Yang Tian pointed to another location on the chart.
Because Li Er is out to play this time, there is no clear standard for either the route or the time, it is very likely that he walked to a place and felt that the environment was good, so he played there for ten days and half a month, so the intelligence department often did not receive news from Lao Li's fleet for ten or twenty days.
But this time it was too long, and there was no news for forty days.
And judging from the supplies carried by Lao Li's ship, if he hadn't arrived at the location designated by Yang Tian for the first time, then his fleet would probably end up floating on the sea and waiting to die because there was no supply.
After all, those steel battleships are all powered by coal, and without coal, the ship will not be able to drive.
It was precisely because Li Chengqian knew this, so he didn't blame Yang Tian for not explaining the news of the old man's disappearance in advance, but after thinking about it calmly, he frowned and asked, "Are there any major storms in the nearby sea area during this time?" ”
"Nope!" Yang Tian replied in the affirmative.
Li Chengqian thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that Baoqi's South China Sea fleet is also gone?" Do you think this matter has anything to do with the disappearance of the Imperial Emperor's fleet? ”
Yang Tian obviously considered the question raised by Li Chengqian, and after hearing this, he paused and explained: "Maybe there will be a relationship, but there is no way to be sure." The last message from the South China Sea Fleet was that it was fighting the Great Cannibals, and then there was no news, and the entire fleet disappeared completely on the other side of Malacca. ”
They all disappeared completely, and the time was about the same, but the location of the two fleets was quite far away, and even if they tried their best, it would take about ten days to meet.
At such a distance, the possibility of natural disasters can be ruled out, after all, even if there is a storm, it is impossible to cross such a large distance at the same time.
Another point is that even if there is really a storm, it is impossible to have no news afterwards, and there is only one reason for this situation in Li Chengqian's view, and that is war!
The old man is not a reckless man like Cheng Biting Jin, who knows that the supplies are not enough when he takes his wife, and he has to follow the waves at sea. So if there is anything that can hold the old man back, in Li Chengqian's view, there is only war, and only this kind of thing can arouse the old man's interest.
……
In fact, Li Chengqian's guess was not wrong, Li Shimin was really fighting at this time, and not only his own fleet was fighting, but also Wei Chi Baoqi's South China Sea Fleet was also fighting.
Their opponents were a mess, including the Great Cannibals, the Zhenla, and some of the island's natives.
These men surrounded the two fleets to the death, and every day they sent men to attack the fleet, either on the surface of the sea or on the bottom of the sea, and in short, within a month, such attacks were not stopped.
However, Lao Li's battleship was placed at a high height, and the side of the ship was almost no different from the city wall for the enemy's small ships.
And if it weren't for the fact that those big cannibals were throwing fishing nets everywhere in the sea, making the propellers of the ironclad battleships unable to exert their full effectiveness, Li Er's fleet would have completely crushed them and would not even give them a chance to fight back.
Of course, there are not so many ifs in this world, the invincible and invulnerable ironclad ships were finally limited by those fishing nets, and Li Erhe's South China Sea fleet that rushed to support him was all surrounded by those big cannibal designs, constantly challenging them every day, dragging them and consuming their supplies.
