The first time Li Hong saw his dragon father's face, two words involuntarily popped up in his head: the bottom of the pot.

That's right, now Li Zhi's face is as black as the bottom of the pot, and he hurried all the way, afraid that he would delay the military aircraft because of his trip, which is good, as soon as he entered the city, he saw that his prince's personal guards were leading troops to defend the city, and he had already gone out to play in the mountains and rivers.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, is he here to fight, or is he here to play? Could it be that in Anthy, his great exploits were made in this way? Li Zhi was skeptical.

In Li Hong's eyes, when Father Long and Mother Long were angry, he would rather face Mother Dragon's mother Wu Mei than face the more cautious Father Dragon.

The dragon mother was so coaxing, she came to the front with her two-skin face, rubbed her shoulders and beat her back, and her anger was basically gone.

But Daddy Long is different, after he gets up, he can be angry with himself half to death, and if he is angry with his people, if he dares to refuse to admit his mistake, Li Zhi can even hold his sulking breath for three days.

And this is also related to his vertigo, if he is relatively cheerful and peaceful, I am afraid that history, Li Zhi may not be able to live for a few more years, and Li Hong's dragon mother may not be the emperor.

But fortunately, Li Hong didn't really go on a tour, so after listening to Li Hong's explanation, Li Zhi's original black face was like the bottom of the pot, which slowly became calm, and when Li Hong said gold, he immediately became smiling, and praised the prince for being smart and sensible.

But when someone comforted his dragon father, he turned his head to look at the ministers below, and that Ge Xiyuan was still here, and he sank his face at the moment, but after thinking about it, forget it, since the dragon father agreed, I am afraid it will be useless to say it again.

Moreover, the relationship between Ge Xiyuan and Li Xian is relatively close, and at this time, things in Chang'an are still in a mess, so don't punish Ge Xiyuan too much, but if you dare to point fingers at the military aircraft again, then don't blame yourself for being polite.

The night was already very deep, so after seeing Li Hong, Li Zhi waved his hand irritably, telling him to hurry up and cross the river to Liujing with him tomorrow.

has been strictly maintaining the habit of getting up early, so that Li Hong was not urged by his dragon father to get up first in the early morning, and his subordinates took over Liu Renyuan and took on the responsibility of protecting His Majesty the Emperor.

The Taedong River, which has become a river in Pyongyang, is suitable for ships because the riverbed is deep and the current is not turbulent.

In this era, there was no way to cross the river except for a bridge made of ropes, so if you wanted to transport a large army across the river, it was best to use the boats of the navy.

At the same time, Li Hong also wanted to get close to the naval army of the Tang Dynasty to see how capable he was in actual combat, and he could also show off the military might of the Tang Dynasty in front of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

In fact, in this era, the types of warships in Datang are quite complete, and it is already commendable to be able to use all the limited space without a power device to drive.

Compared with the small boats that were disdained by Cui Zhifen in the Wa Kingdom, the Tang Navy can indeed be regarded as the leader of this era.

The military work of the Ming Dynasty, "Wubei Zhi", once mentioned the strength of the navy in the early Tang Dynasty: all water battles were based on the size of ships...... With the golden drum and flag as the festival of advance and retreat, its battle has building boats, fighting ships, boats, and sea falcons, and its submarine attack has Mengchong and yachts, and its equipment has a shooting rod, which is used to attack it with the advantage of the current.

A wide variety of warships, a general's ability to coordinate and command all kinds of ships, clear responsibilities, strict discipline and coordination and division of labor are all tests for a general, and Datang can emerge such a naval general, which naturally makes Li Hong overjoyed.

And this time, in addition to the fighting ships, walkers, and sea falcons, there is also an attack ship that wraps itself in raw cowhide, which is generally used for impact.

It can be seen from this that the military of the Tang Dynasty in this period is so powerful and majestic.

Of all the various types of ships, the building ship is the representative work that can best reflect the strong national strength and majestic military power of the Tang Dynasty, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was called the Wuya battleship.

The reason why it is called the five-tooth battleship is because it itself is a five-story building structure, with six poles set up on the left and right, front and back, and each wooden mast is equipped with a boulder at the end, and a reel is set as an auxiliary underneath, so that when the battleship is in close combat, it can quickly use the reel to assist in lowering the boulder, so as to achieve the purpose of smashing the enemy ship with the boulder.

As for the stone throwing carts and bed crossbows that the Tang Dynasty has always been proud of on land and used for siege warfare, they were naturally also tried by the idea and placed in the Wuya battleship, these two weapons for long-range attack can be described as a real killer weapon, which also armed the Wuya battleship into a powerful battleship that can be fought near and far.

Standing on the foredeck without sails, Li Hong and Cui Zhibian chatted in a warm whisper, not about the five-tooth warship, but about the larger warship built by Li Chunfeng in Quanzhou, Lingnan Province.

When Cui Zhizhi heard from Li Hong's mouth that the warship was more than 50 steps long and 60 paces long, it was half as long, and he immediately looked at Li Hong with a smiling look of doubt and shock.

"Don't believe it, if your five-tooth battleship sees that big ship, it will be like a little cat at most, and there is no power to fight back." Li Hong confidently looked at Cui Zhifen's incredulous expression and said lightly.

"Your Highness, it's not that the minister doesn't believe it, but you must know that if the warship is so big, then he will lose his agility, and it will be difficult to retreat in the face of many enemy ships." Cui Zhifen is also about thirty years old, and he can be a four-grade naval general, which is enough to meet and see his water warfare ability.

Li Hong glanced at him and continued, "Who told you that I was going to retreat and run away? What's more, it's one thing whether the enemy ship can get close to the ship, and when this time the matter is over, you go over and take a look, take this jade pendant and go over, and compare the two. ”

Li Hong handed a piece of jade pendant to Cui Zhibian, put his hands behind his back, and said again: "The Wuya battleship is indeed good, but it is only suitable for fighting in the coastal sea, you go out of a few hundred nautical miles to try?" A gust of wind came, and your ship didn't need to be attacked by the enemy, so you took the initiative to sink into the sea to feed the king. ”

Cui Zhibian smiled bitterly, His Highness is telling the truth, although this five-tooth battleship is large, it is indeed not suitable for long-distance voyages, and it is suitable for long-distance voyages, but it does not have the power of this kind of ship.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Cui Zhibian, or even anyone, because even after a thousand years, the Chinese people do not have the courage to go out of the land and step on the sea to go into the distance.

And the reason why Li Hong has always been sneaky in building big ships is that he is afraid that the courtiers will obstruct him in various ways after they know about it.

Hundreds of years later, the Ming Dynasty used to come and go freely in the sea, and it was majestic, but in the end, because of the prevalence of the idea of sea ban, the country was finally trapped on land for hundreds of years?

As a result, the European warships were rampant and domineering at sea, plundering wealth, and finally relying on their enthusiasm for the sea, they left a deep scar on the Chinese nation?

Today's Datang is still like this, for the sea has never dared to take the initiative to embrace, including the coastal fishermen, their understanding of the sea, is still in the stage of survival, no one has ever thought about what kind of courage and wealth will be brought to this nation after overcoming the fear of the sea.

Li Hong has now made up his mind, and after following Father Long to solve the affairs of Liaodong, he will go to Quanzhou to meet Cui Zhibian, and see what Li Chunfeng has tossed out after taking his millions of taels of silver.

By land and water, in less than half a day, 30,000 soldiers and horses were quickly assembled on the other side of the Datong River, and at this time, it was only more than 20 miles away from Liujing, the royal city of Goguryeo.

As soon as I stepped on the official road, the banner of the Tang Dynasty appeared in front of me, and a puff of smoke and dust rose behind the banner, and I saw nearly a thousand cavalry running quickly towards this side.

"I'll ...... Liu Renliang won't miss it. Li Hong looked at it, and the menacing posture didn't look like he was here to take over.

Li Zhi didn't speak, and under his crotch was a white horse without a single variegated color, and at this moment, looking at the same kind of flying hooves in front of him, he had some impatience and the urge to try.

But as soon as he lifted his hooves, the white steed was lightly kicked by someone in the neck: "What are you anxious about?" Be honest, and let you come here not to fight. ”

As soon as Li Hong's words fell, he saw a golden whip shadow flickering in front of him: "My mount is also something you can kick!" And there are no rules, it's really a loss of royal style. ”

Li Hong leaned back, dodged the horsewhip that was extremely loose in force, and pouted: "I'm afraid that it will go crazy, what if it really takes you out?" This is filial piety. ”

Liu Renliang suddenly appeared in front of Li Zhi and Li Hong, with an excited smile on his face, quickly dismounted and ran to Li Zhi, dressed in armor and saluted: "Minister Liu Renliang welcomes His Majesty into the Goguryeo Imperial City." ”

"What? Could it be that the Goguryeo royal city has already been taken? Li Zhi couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and motioned for Liu Ren to get up and answer, his tone full of incredible excitement.

"Yes, Your Majesty, less than half a day after the ministers approached the Goguryeo royal city, the Goguryeo king Gozang led a hundred officials out of the city and surrendered, but ......."

"But what? Now that it has surrendered, what else can not be said! Say it quickly, you don't have to spit it out. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The condition of the surrender of the King of Goguryeo was that he hoped that Your Majesty would stop the plundering of Goguryeo land by Silla and Baekje and immediately release the plundered Goguryeo people. Liu Renliang said solemnly. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
