Chapter 589: Running for Funeral

"Your Majesty, the wind and waves on this sea are very dangerous, Yichen doesn't want to get on the boat to see Your Majesty, let's just check it on the dock."

Seeing that Li Shimin was asking questions with great interest, and was about to get on the boat to have a look, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly leaned over to advise.

"Why, you can take a boat to the sea, can't I?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes and asked unhappily.

"Eh, how can Your Majesty be the same as the minister, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the safety is related to the society of the country, what happens to the minister on the boat is at most the family is heartbroken, what is going to happen to Your Majesty, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the people of the world must not all die of sadness." Wu Yuanqing said in a heartfelt manner, bowed his head and muttered in a low voice: "The key, if you have something, my family will either be heartbroken or die."

"What are you whispering?" Li Shimin's ears are very sharp, and when he heard Wu Yuanqing's whispering, his face turned black and turned into the bottom of the pot, emotionally speaking, this little bastard still cares about his family and is afraid of being implicated.

"No, nothing was said. Hey, hey." Wu Yuanqing hurriedly raised his head and put on an innocent face.

"Hmph." Li Shimin snorted coldly: "I am the Son of Heaven, since I am ordered by Heaven, how can there be an accident. Needless to say, I'm going to have to get on board today. You go and get them ready, and I'll see how they attack the enemy ships, especially with artillery."

"Yes." Wu Yuanqing replied helplessly.

He felt that Li Shimin was just incidental to see how the sailors fought, and the main thing must be that this guy likes the feeling of being admired by his soldiers and enjoying the shocking scene of the army's three shouts.

This is the nostalgia for staying in the palace for too long, for the battlefield, for the thousands of troops.

Of course, when Wu Yuanqing heard the earth-shattering sound of long live from all directions, he was also very shocked, and he wished that the person he was called was himself. This is the same as whether it is a military parade or a school military training in later generations, although the chairman, the principal has a very different status, but they like to say that the comrades (students) are good, and then listen to the whispering of the first (school) chief, and then the comrades (students) have worked hard, and the next back is the same as serving the people.

The military parade is the tune you want, and what you like is also this tune, and after the interaction between the top and bottom is over, it should be the time for the display of weapons and equipment.

The emperor's military parade is also the same process, Li Shimin is also after enjoying the cheers below, ready to get on the boat to enjoy it again, and then personally or personally command the offensive combat routine of the naval division.

"What is that pimple on the bow of the ship?" Li Shimin pointed to the huge metal triangle on the bow of the Chengqian and asked.

"That's, that's the ramming horn, that is, when you are in close contact with the enemy ship, that ramming angle can knock the enemy ship out of the hole. However, this one on the bow of the ship is actually useless, except for our Datang The sea ships of other countries are much shorter, and they can't hit it at all. So, the really useful ramming angles are installed under the bow of the ship, so that the enemy ship can be knocked out of the hole and then the sea will sink when the water goes in." Wu Yuanqing explained.

"Since it's useless, why do you still install this, do you think Datang Steel has more output and can be wasted casually?" Li Shimin was very dissatisfied that it seemed to be very powerful, but in fact there was nothing flashy and unrealistic.

"Ahem." Wu Yuanqing was almost choked, he just said that, in fact, since it is useful after all, let's explain it clearly: "Your Majesty, it's not useless, our ship is much higher than the ships of other countries, but with the addition of sails, the ships of other countries can almost have the height of our hull, so this ramming angle on the top plays the role of hitting the enemy's sail mast, once the sail mast is broken, the enemy ship loses power, and if you want to fight, you can't run, hehe, although there are not many opportunities like this, but there are always there, So it's not useless."

"Then you still say it's useless, really." Li Shimin glared at Wu Yuanqing angrily: "You go to the side and ask Liu Renliang to come and tell me."

"Hey, okay, I'll call him." Although he was disgusted, Wu Yuanqing was very happy, and he was uncomfortable with the emperor to explain to him, and it was interesting to watch it casually.

"Boom. Boom, boom." After the visit, Liu Renyuan commanded the sailors and soldiers to start a live-fire drill for the emperor.

As the flag waved, the artilleryman in charge of adjusting the angle quickly adjusted the angle, reloaded, and then ignited and fired after receiving the order.

Then two miles away, a few hypothetical fishing boats were transformed into hypothetical enemy boats, and a wave of water splashed around them.

The first test firing was followed by a second readjustment and a few more shells, and finally a few shells hit the target after this adjustment.

It's all solid bullets, and the visual effect is certainly not as shocking as the flowering bullet, but the fishing boat hit by a few shells was also directly torn apart by the solid iron egg, and the broken hull slowly sank into the sea.

"It's not coarse, it's not bad, this cannon is much more destructive to ships than it is to the city walls." Li Shimin nodded happily.

Wu Yuanqing hid behind and pouted disdainfully, one is made of boulder and blue bricks, and the other is made of wood, which one is harder and the fool knows, which one is more destructive by the cannonball, and you still need to say.

................

Just when the emperor was in Langya with great interest to review the various naval battles of the sailors, first of all, a local squire and elders came to Langya to ask the emperor to return to Chang'an to visit Jinyang.

After all, Jinyang is Li Tang's Longxing land, and the local squires and elders will never forget, Li Shimin is very happy to agree that he must go to Jinyang to have a look on the return trip.

Jinyang has not yet left, Baekje, who is uniting Goguryeo and Silla to fight hotly, suddenly has an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and when he was in Luoyang, he happened to learn that the Tang Emperor was not far from Langya, so he rushed all the way to Langya to ask for a meeting.

It turned out that the king of Baekje Fu Yuzhang was hung up, and the dead envoy ran to the Tang Dynasty to report the funeral, of course, the funeral is secondary, mainly to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to canonize Fu Yuzhang's son Yici as the new king of Baekje.

After all, Baekje is still nominally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and it is reasonable and legal for the new king to succeed to the throne with the Golden Canonization of the Tang Emperor, otherwise it would be logical for his younger brothers to rebel under the pretext that the Tang Emperor was not canonized.

Li Shimin now has a good impression of none of the three kingdoms of Liaodong, and they are all not good things. As for this Baekje, knowing that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla was good, and the Goguryeo attack on Silla, which was not on good terms with the Tang Dynasty, ignored the envoys sent by the Tang Emperor to mediate.

If it is said that his father was the culprit who started the war, then this Yiji was the culprit who led the troops to attack Silla, and he personally led the troops to defeat more than a dozen Silla cities, although they were all sesame big cities.

It doesn't matter if the place is big or not, the key is this attitude, which is too disrespectful to Datang.

It's one thing for Datang to want to mediate, and it's another thing for you to respect Datang, the suzerain, so Li Shimin is very unhappy.
