"You're asking me to help you expand the Marine?" Wu Yuanqing asked in surprise.

"That's right." Li Chengqian nodded.

"No, how could you think of looking for me, besides, Your Majesty is not going to hand over this matter to Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yanguo, why did you meddle in again." Wu Yuanqing said speechlessly.

Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and said: "You think I want to take care of it, but my father made Zhang Liang a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu and concurrently served as the governor of Xiangzhou, so how could I have time to take care of the expansion of the water division, so I had to hand over this matter to me. I didn't know what to do, so I came to ask for your help."

"Damn, you kid will never think of me for good things, and you will know to look for me whenever you are in trouble." Wu Yuanqing is angry.

"Can make me think of you, doesn't this prove that you have the ability, help, among the people I know, you are the only one who is familiar with the sailor, at least you have been floating at sea for a few months, unlike us, you have never even seen what the sea is like." Li Chengqian gave up his hands and patted his ass.

"You shouldn't look for me for this, you should look for Bai Shan, your head of the guard, when you are at sea, he does the defense work, I just make sure that the navigation is good." Wu Yuanqing still didn't want to care about this trouble.

He doesn't mind letting him take a few thousand soldiers and horses to shake around, but he doesn't want to let him participate in the expansion and upgrading of a military branch, this thing is taboo, especially since he has a good relationship with Li Chengqian is known to the Manchu Dynasty, in case someone says something in front of the emperor about his collusion with the crown prince, indiscriminately meddling in military affairs, wanting to control the water division and so on, then he will be in big trouble.

Wu Yuanqing knows very well that from ancient times to the present and the future, anything related to the army is the most sensitive, Li Shimin can let his son take over the formation of the water division, but he, the prince's best friend, is absolutely not suitable to participate.

"I also want to use Baishan, but he is going to form a sea caravan by his mother." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was extremely frustrated, he didn't dare not give it to his wife, but after giving it, he himself was now unavailable.

"Well, it's not a good idea for me to get involved in helping you, and I don't have the time. But I can recommend two of you." It is not appropriate to help if you don t help and you can't say it wu yuanqing frowned and thought about it before saying.

This is not the answer Li Chengqian wants, but seeing that Wu Yuanqing really doesn't want to participate, Li Chengqian had no choice but to say: "Okay, tell me who the two people you want to recommend are."

"Liu Renliang, Liu Renyuan." Wu Yuanqing said two names.

"This Liu Ren wishes to know that after they carved the Yin Liu clan as the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu Liu Bao in the Western Jin Dynasty, they were a wealthy family in Suizhou for generations. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info his great-grandfather out of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and moved into the Guanzhong region with Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, through the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang Dynasty. His father, Liu Daju, was the governor of Suizhou, and in August of the seventh year of Wude, the Turks invaded Yuanzhou, Xinzhou, Bingzhou and other places, shaking Guanzhong, and Chang'an, Kyoto was under martial law. Then he attacked Suizhou and marched to Chang'an, but fortunately he was repelled by Liu Daju, which gave his father time to lead troops to reinforce him." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused, and then continued: "But I haven't heard of Liu Renliang and his person, listen to the name, Liu Renliang, Liu Renyuan, are the two of them brothers?"

Wu Yuanqing laughed, not only Li Chengqian, in fact, almost everyone who just saw or heard these two names would subconsciously think that they were two brothers, but in fact they were not.

These two people are not related by any blood and are not even of the same race. Liu Renyuan was born in a famous family, and when he was in the second year of Zhenguan, he became a student of Hongwenguan because of the shade of the door, and then he was soon elected as the right guard, and when Emperor Li Shimin traveled, he often served as a guard. So not only Li Chengqian is very familiar with him, but Wu Yuanqing is also very familiar with him.

And Liu Renliang is a native of Weishi County, Bianzhou, and his family has been poor since he was a child, but this person loves to learn, in the early years of Wude, Henan Province pacified the ambassador Ren Gui drafted a note to discuss state affairs, Liu Renliang saw the draft and revised a few sentences for him. Ren Gui was amazed by his talent and learning, and appointed him to join the army in Xizhou according to the imperial court's regulations.

Later, he was reappointed as the lieutenant of Chencang County. There is a lieutenant named Lu Ning in the official office, who is arrogant and indulgent and violates the law, and no one in the county office can subdue him. Liu Renliang warned him not to repeat the crime, but Lu Ning's ferocity and brutality remained the same, and Liu Renliang beat him to death with a torture rod. The officials in the state reported the matter to the imperial court, and Li Shimin said angrily: "A county lieutenant actually killed my Zhichong Lieutenant, can this work?" "Summoned him to the court for questioning. Liu Renliang replied: "Lu Ning insulted me, and I killed him for it." Li Shimin thought that Liu Renliang was resolute and upright, and promoted him to be the governor of Xianyang County.

This incident was quite sensational at the beginning, but Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, naturally didn't care about such a small person, so he didn't remember it. But Wu Yuanqing remembered, and what made Wu Yuanqing remember him was not because he dared to kill Lieutenant Zhichong, but because of a major event that had happened in history and had not happened at this time, a sea battle.

And the protagonists of this naval battle are both Liu Renliang and Liu Renyuan.

What everyone remembers in later generations is either the Ming Dynasty and the shame of the First Sino-Japanese War. Therefore, many people think that the first outbreak of naval warfare between China and China was in the Sino-Japanese War.

But in fact, as early as the third year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty, that is, during the reign of Gaozong and Li Zhi, China fought fiercely with the Wa State, and China won completely.

Things have to start from the sixth year of Xianqing, and the sixth year of Xianqing can also be said to be the first year of Longshuo, because Li Zhi often changes the name of the year, so it is very chaotic.

In the sixth year of Xianqing, the old generals of Baekje, such as the monk Daochen and Fuxin, established the prince Fuyu Feng as the king, raised troops to resist the Tang army, and besieged Liu Renyuan in Fucheng. (In the previous year, Su Jeongfang pacified Baekje, and Yoo In-gwang was appointed as the protector of the capital, leaving him to guard the capital of Baekje together with Kim In-tae, the young son of King Kim Chung of Silla).

Together with the Silla soldiers, Yoo In-ghan rescued Yoo In-won, repelled the besieging Baekje army, and joined Yoo In-ghan in the city. At this time, Su Dingfang conquered Goryeo and besieged Pyongyang but did not conquer it. Due to the unfavorable situation of the war and the heavy snowfall, the Tang army withdrew from Pyongyang, and Liu Renliang asked himself to stay.

So, Liu Renliang and Liu Renyuan both stayed on the peninsula.

In the third year of Longshuo, the king of Baekje, Fuyufeng, suspected Fuxin of fighting for power and killed Fuxin. Hearing that the Tang soldiers had arrived suddenly, he hurriedly sent an envoy to Goguryeo, the Japanese kingdom, to ask for help. The Wa kingdom Mao Ye and others led more than 20,000 people to attack Silla.

Li Zhi's edict ordered the right Weiwei general Sun In-shi to lead the army across the Bohai Sea, and the morale was boosted, and then Sun In-shi, Liu Ren-won, and the king of Silla, Kim Fa-min, led the army to march, and Liu Ren-gang and Du Shuang and Buyeo-long marched along the Xiongjin and Baekjiang rivers to join the army. Liu Renliang met the army of the Japanese State at the mouth of the Baijiang River, and the Tang army won all four battles, burning 400 Japanese warships, and the sea water was red. Fuyufeng escaped, and his sword was seized. The princes of Baekje, Buyeo Tadashi and Buyeo Tadashi, led their own soldiers and the army of the Wa Kingdom to surrender.

The great victory at the Battle of Baekgang Estuary directly ended the long-standing dispute between Silla and Baekje, and at the same time dealt a serious blow to the Wa Kingdom. As a direct result of the defeat of the Japanese state, the expansion of the Korean Peninsula was halted, and no troops were used on the Korean Peninsula for more than 1,000 years.
