Chapter 353: Encounter at Sea I

Li Su didn't know that he had completely offended Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang gives people an accurate look, but he can't see through Li Su. He didn't know that Li Su was a person who had crossed over, and the characteristics of his fate were different.

For Li Su's miraculous talent, Yuan Tiangang also admired it from the bottom of his heart. However, Li Su didn't buy his account and never interacted with him, which made Yuan Tiangang feel despised and despised.

Li Su showed a lot of talents and solved many of Li Shimin's troubles, and Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang for fortune telling less and less.

Especially when the harem was struck by lightning and the queen's mother fell ill, in the past, when he encountered such a thing, Li Shimin would definitely ask Yuan Tiangang's opinion. Yuan Tiangang can also reflect his importance.

Unexpectedly, Li Su not only cured the queen's illness, but also made a lightning rod. As a result, Li Shimin has not looked for Yuan Tiangang since then.

Yuan Tiangang wanted to find an opportunity to gain Li Shimin's attention, so he targeted Li Tai and encouraged him to engage in Mount Tai Feng Zen. Li Tai also wanted to take the opportunity to come out, so the two formed an alliance.

Seeing that Taishan sealed Zen and won the favor of Li Shimin, Li Tai was able to restore the identity of the prince, and he was also able to increase the weight of their alliance.

Yuan Tiangang assured Li Tai that it would be safe to restore his status as a prince. Unexpectedly, the Japanese slaves came out to stir up trouble, which made Yuan Tiangang lose his trust in front of Li Tai.

He had heard that it was the idea of the crown prince Li Su to send the Goguryeo people to fight the Japanese slaves. Without Li Su's previous idea, there would have been no matter of the Japanese slaves killing the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Yuan Tiangang blamed Li Su for this incident.

Besides, Cheng Chumo and others, after merging the navy of Huaibei Province, the total number of warships reached 642, of which 23 warships were installed with a total of 126 cannons.

These days can keep Qin Huaidao busy.

These cannons were temporarily cast in Yangzhou, and there were no more than 20 soldiers who were familiar with artillery technology, so they had to organize a large number of naval soldiers to train while sailing.

Qin Huaidao was seasick, and he was tossed by the waves every day, and he also had to grit his teeth to organize training.

Xue Rengui's situation was not much better than Qin Huaidao's, and he was staggering. Cheng Chumo and Liu Renliang have already adapted to life at sea, and they comfort them when they have time.

After hard training, the gunners basically mastered the essentials of shooting.

During the Tang Dynasty, the navy did not yet have the ability to go to the sea, and the voyages of the fleet generally traveled along the edge of the continent. The Tang fleet could not cross the Yellow Sea in a straight line and go directly to the port of Pusan in the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula, but had to enter the Bohai Bay and sail along the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

On this morning, the Tang fleet came to the sea on the eastern side of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Cheng Chumo was brushing his teeth on the deck, and when he saw Xue Rengui coming out of the cabin, his steps were a little shaky, and he asked with concern: "Old Xue, are you better?" ”

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it a little bit these days." ”

Cheng Chumo said: "When I first joined the navy, it took a whole month to adapt to the wind and waves at sea, your physical fitness is better than mine, and you adapted so quickly." ”

At this time, Liu Renliang also walked over, and he said: "Today's wind direction is good, just so that we can enter Bohai Bay." ”

Cheng Chumo said with a little envy: "Brother Liu, your familiarity with navigation is not comparable to those old sailors with more than ten years of experience." I wonder as if you were born fit to live at sea. ”

Liu Renliang said: "It's strange to say, when I came to the sea, I basically didn't get seasick, and I seemed to be familiar with the situation at sea since I was a child. I don't even know how I have a talent for sailing.

However, the strangest thing for me is that I have never been in contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, how did he know that I was suitable for the Navy? ”

Xue Rengui said: "Brother Liu, I feel the same way. I was originally a country citizen, and I don't know why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a fancy to me.

I have always had a doubt, the first time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw me, he was able to accurately tell me where I came from, even my age and family situation, very accurately.

It's just amazing. ”

Cheng Chumo said: "I have been following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the longest time, and there are too many magical things about His Royal Highness the Prince, which is extremely admirable.

As for His Royal Highness the Prince's view of people, everyone still remembers the child Di Renjie in Jinling City. ”

Xue Rengui and Liu Renliang both nodded in admiration.

Liu Renliang said: "Following His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't need to figure out his thoughts, just do your own things well, it's really comfortable and pleasant." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

At this time, Qin Huaidao came out of the cabin, the sunlight on the east sea pierced his eyes, making him a little uncomfortable, he saw everyone laughing, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Cheng Chumo was just about to answer him, when suddenly the sentry on the top of the mast shouted: "Commander, the enemy's fleet has been found in the northeast. ”

When everyone looked at it, they saw a large number of enemy ships in the distance, black and pressed, the number is not clear, but at least there are more than a thousand.

Cheng Chumo ordered a battle alert on the one hand, and wondered in his heart: How could the enemy ship appear here?

It turned out that the Unu king Tianzhi was a very shrewd commander, and he believed that the key to the victory or defeat of this war was naval warfare. He analyzed the tactics that the Don Army might adopt.

He believed that in the last naval battle, the coalition forces suffered losses, and they did not dare to attack only with the navy of the Don Army on the Korean Peninsula, as well as the navies of Silla and Baekje. The Tang army will definitely mobilize a large number of navies from the mainland to assemble in the port of Pusan, and then fight against the Japanese navy.

King Tenchi believed that he could not wait for the coalition navy to be assembled, and that he must defeat them individually while their forces were scattered. As long as the coalition navy is defeated, the coalition forces will not be able to attack the Japanese archipelago for at least a few years.

He made up his mind to leave part of the fleet in the Tsushima Strait and confuse the coalition navy around the port of Busan, and he concentrated most of the navies of the entire Uzun states, with a total of 2,533 large and small ships, to ambush the necessary route of the Datang naval reinforcements.

Faced with this sudden situation, Cheng Chumo was a little panicked, he had only taken over the navy for more than half a year, and he had no experience in naval warfare. However, he usually paid attention to studying, humbly consulted the veterans of the navy, and also commanded the troops to conduct many drills, and soon calmed down.

The Don army was on the march at this time, and the ships were stretched a long distance between them, and in this case, it was easy for the enemy to break up into several sections and be broken by each one.

The Don Army was in a very dangerous situation.
