Chapter 588: It's Really Big

There are a few years of experience in the Feng Chan Tai Mountain, so this time the Feng Chan Tai Tai can go according to the ceremony, the magistrate in addition to preparing food and lodging along the way, the loess mat road so that the emperor can go to Mount Tai comfortably.

However, Wu Yuanqing was not interested in sealing Zen Taishan, he was more interested in going to the beach to inspect the fleet of the Tang Naval Division after sealing Zen Taishan.

I think he was also a pirate leader at sea for a few days, and he said with great affection for the fleet.

I heard that several newly built flagships named after the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wei, Li Tai, the king of Jin, and the eldest princess Changle have been launched and put into service, and the hull is ten zhang larger than the previous largest ships, and the height is much higher than that of ordinary ships.

Wu Yuanqing wanted to see it very much, and also took a look at it for Li Tai, Li Chengqian and Changle, this is what the three brothers and sisters specially advised, if you don't see it well, go back and describe it badly, break off the relationship, and sleep on the ground.

In mid-April, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sealed Mount Tai for the second time, and on April 20, the emperor left Mount Tai for Langya.

Langya County is very famous, because there has been a top gate valve in the local area, just like the Tai Reason Gate Valve Wang is known as the Wang family out of Taiyuan, Langya County is famous can also be said to have a very big influence.

Langya Wang clan, another big branch of the Wang clan.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the top gate valve was five surnames and seven wangs, and the Taiyuan Wang family was among them, but it was necessary to push back a few hundred years, and the reputation of the Langya Wang family was faintly overshadowed by the Taiyuan Wang family, which was much more famous than the Qinghe Boling Cui family, the Li family of Longxi of Zhao County, and so on.

The heyday of the Langya Wang clan was in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it was the first of the four major prosperous families of the Jin Dynasty, "Wang Xie Yuan Xiao". There is a very famous saying that is also an allusion called "The king and the horse, the world".

The king here is the king of the Langya Wang clan, and the horse is the Sima family of the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Sima Rui, the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, mainly relied on the strong support of Wang Dao and Wang Dun brothers of the Langya Wang clan in the north from Dongdu to ascending the throne.

During this period, Wang Dao was in a high position, united the northern and southern scholars, strategized, vertical and horizontal, and issued his own decrees. Wang Dun was in charge of the army, full-time expeditions, and later sat in Jingzhou to control Jiankang.

The Wang brothers are in power, and Sima Rui is just a vain name. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Emperor Sima Rui suddenly grabbed the minister Wang Daotong to ascend to the royal bed, accepted the congratulations of the ministers together, and expressed his intention to share the world with the Wang family. But on the second day, Director Wang was startled, and hurriedly excused himself and said: "How can the sun shine with all things, and there is a difference between the status of monarchs and ministers", and Emperor Jin Yuan did not force him.

But Sima Rui has always respected Director Wang very much, calling Director Wang "the middle father". In the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Cheng dynasties, Wang Dao's status has always been very lofty. Emperor Cheng's edict to Wang Dao always used language such as "panic words", "pause words", "respect for white", and he also personally drove to Wang Dao's mansion to pay tribute to Wang Dao's wife. On the first day of the first month, when the king led to the court, Emperor Cheng had to stand up to greet him.

The allusion of "the king and the horse, sharing the world" reflects the special background of the politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Langya Wang family and the royal Sima family at that time were on equal terms, and even surpassed.

But in history, Liu Yuxi's poem Wuyi Lane wrote about the weak change of the family, the wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Lane. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.

The vicissitudes of life, life is changeable, the Langya Wang clan that was prominent in the past, and the royal family can share the world has declined, and compared with the Taiyuan Wang clan, which is also the ancestor of the Wang family, it is still standing among the top gate valves.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Langya Wang family as a family in fact no longer exists, although there are still people who are officials, and there are also great Confucian scholars, but just like this, it is impossible to be called a family, and it is as far away as the Yangtze River from the gate valve.

As for Langya County, the ancestral court of the Langya Wang clan is also the location of the county, there has long been no Langya Wang's descendants, it should be said that when the clothes crossed to the south, Langya County only left the name of the Langya Wang family.

Although the Langya Wang clan exists in name only, Langya County is known all over the world because of this Wang clan's county.

Speaking of the Wang family, it is not the Taiyuan Wang family, it must be the Langya Wang family, and the others are called by the surname Wang no matter how embarrassed they are.

Of course, the emperor did not come to Langya County because of the Langya Wang's family here, but because it was a "transit station" connecting the north and south shipping.

It is the most important transportation hub and trade port on the northern coast of Datang, which was called Qingdao in later generations.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he toured the world five times, and climbed Langya three times, according to records, Xu Fu crossed to the east to find overseas immortal mountains to seek the elixir of life from Langya.

It can be seen that from that time Langya is an important port to the sea in the north, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also the king of Jiaodong in Langya when he was a teenager, so he must come to Langya every time he seals Mount Tai, and he is the emperor who has been to Langya the most.

Liu Renyuan, Liu Renliang led the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet and has been stationed in Langya since escorting Caoliang to the north last winter.

In order to allow the sailors to have a large enough dock to moor, the magistrate of Langya County specially selected a site to build a Daying wharf specially for the sailors to berth.

Wu Yuanqing followed the emperor to Langya to rest for a day, and the next day he went straight to the camp of the sailor.

Liu Renyuan, who had already gotten the news, led the two sailors to wait on the dock to line up to greet the royal driver.

"Thousands of sails are towering, covering the clouds and the sun, this sailor is really good at being made by these two guys." When he was still many miles away from the pier, Wu Yuanqing could already see the towering sails on his horse.

"It's a big ship." Just by looking at the huge sails, you can imagine how big the hull must be. Much bigger than any of the Wuyalou ships he'd ever ridden.

"That's a must, these ships that can see the sails now must be the newly launched sailor flagships, the Chengqian, the Qingque, the Pheasant, and the Changle. I heard that the length of the hull is about 35 zhang, and the full load of soldiers can reach 2,500 men." Wu Yuanqing smiled and introduced.

"So much?" Cheng Chumo was shocked: "Isn't 2,500 more people than people from several villages?" My Zhuangzi is big enough, and there are only six or seven hundred people."

"Haha, I'm scared, let me tell you, just this one ship can be crisscrossed in the South Seas, which means that that there is basically all occupied by the Tang Dynasty, otherwise when it was not occupied before, it would be easy to send this ship to destroy a country in the South Seas." Wu Yuanqing is very proud, because his credit here can be huge, if it weren't for him, Datang wouldn't know that there are so many good things in Nanyang, if it weren't for him, Datang wouldn't know that it would be so easy to grow grain over there, if it weren't for him, Datang wouldn't have made a decision to build a navy on a large scale, and if it weren't for him, Datang wouldn't have chosen the pointed bottom ship made in Fuzhou as the basic ship type of the sailor.
