Chapter 162: Naval Parade

The biggest advantage of civil officials is that they have a mouth that can be fired at any time, flaunting themselves as a moral model, and degrading others as worthless, the biggest disadvantage of civil officials is that they only have one mouth, when others don't fight with him, he is useless, there are more civil officials in the seven clans and five surnames, and most of them serve in the six ministries, the seventh Ministry of Commerce and the eighth Ministry of Agriculture of the Tang Dynasty are newly established departments, which are more professional in nature, and they are also some people who are despised by the clans. There are old farmers who are good at farming, and they are excluded by the civilian officials of the six ministries.

Li Er's words on the sea can decide the life and death of the officials with the five surnames, because he has mastered the army, and those civil officials only have one mouth, Li Chengqian has no army in Chang'an, and there are civilian officials' mouths everywhere, recently he has been in charge of the Chengqian Palace, and the officials who have come and gone have not stopped, there are those who show loyalty, and there are those who give gifts to please them, and the eldest grandson queen who watched it began to be a little worried, and she came to the Chengqian Palace twice a day to urge the prince to govern is her job now, in fact, she wants to prevent those ministers from getting too close to Li Chengqian, He is still young, easy to be instigated by others, the world is decided, all kinds of interest groups in the court are playing the royal idea, the top ten factories in the east and west occupy the interests of the world, will no one be blushing? In order to envelop the minister and further control the real power, many Li Er restricted sales at the time, or the sales of goods in demand were issued by Li Chengqian, after all, the royal family accounted for fifty percent of the shares of the top ten factories in the east and west, and in the case that the nominal general manager Yang Lin and the largest shareholder, the emperor Xià, were not in Chang'an, the person in charge of each factory had to listen to the prince of the country, anyway, the team Datang also lost some money.

Li Er didn't know about Chang'an City, and it would take more than a month for the clipper messenger to travel from Lingnan to Chang'an at the earliest, since he had personally conquered, there was no need to pay attention to the affairs of Chang'an at all times, the army had been sent by him to various frontiers, and Guanzhong was now a scene of unity and harmony. There can be no man-made rebellion, as long as there is no man-made rebellion, in his opinion, the problem is not a big problem, today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, it is a good time for the military parade, in fact, as long as the rainy season has passed in Lingnan, most of the other time the weather is very good.

The horns of the battleships sounded collectively, and the water steamers were running at the same time, and the splashes on the sea were pulled into white lines, and the three small boats of the Japanese Kingdom following Li Er's fleet were really too offended. In the end, I had to ask the Tang army to lower the rope and drag them to drive, relying on the sails, their speed really could not keep up with the new warships of the Tang army.

At noon, the scorching sun was on the head, and the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived at the parade site near Xiachuan Island on time, and with a rumbling burst of cannons, the Southern Naval Army and the Huai'an Naval Army lined up in a neat battle column, maintaining the same speed and driving out of the harbor, Li Er knew that those cannons were salutes used to welcome. Hearing the sound of cannons, he was about to lead the hundred officials to move to the bow of the ship, and the drums of the generals on the Emperor would also begin to beat, and the Southern Expeditionary Army would set up a horizontal formation with the Emperor as the center. All the crew members stood solemnly on both sides of the ship, neatly dressed, waiting for the Lingnan and Huainan fleets to sail in front of them.

Only the three ships of the Japanese Kingdom that were obviously a few circles smaller were crowded at the end of the queue like three clowns, and Fujiwara Kitake, who thought that the Southern Expeditionary Fleet was already all the warships of the Tang Dynasty, knew at this time that this was only a part of the Tang Navy. Compared with the small Wa Kingdom, Datang's water military power is not known how many times stronger.

"Salute."

When the Lingnan No. 1 battleship passed in front of the Emperor, it shouted with the herald. All the sergeants held their heads high, raised their right arms to their brows and gave a new military salute, including Yang Lin, who stood on the highest command platform facing the wind, and Li Er waved to the Lingnan No. 1 battleship on the bow of the Emperor with the highest side of the ship.

The Lingnan No. 1 battleship slowly sailed past the front of the Emperor's ship, only followed by the voice of the Lingnan No. 2 battleship to send orders and soldiers shouting, in turn, looking at the civil and military officials on the Emperor called a blood boiling, there is no classical kneeling ceremony, it seems that the spirit of this army is stronger, because the most temperamental time is when people kneel and kowtow, and the head and kneel and kowtow will form a strong visual and spiritual contrast in people's hearts.

When the largest landing fleet of the Lingnan Fleet was about to approach the Emperor, a large covered wooden board at the stern of the ship suddenly opened to both sides, and one by one the surfing windsurfing boats rushed into the waves from the belly of the ship into the sea under the control of individual soldiers, like fairies scattering flowers, and hundreds of individual soldiers driving surfing windsurfing boats rushed out in a moment, and the same was true for the ten landing ships after that. When their windsurfing boat passed by the Emperor, they did not forget to find a bigger wave to play a spaceship jump, which was not only very valuable for viewing, but also showed these northern officials who had never touched the sea their strong water skills without fear of wind and waves.

"Good, good, good, these solo sailboats are like beasts on the sea, with lightning speed, not only can spy on intelligence, but also can quickly assault and rush, worthy of the title of seal." Li Er couldn't help but praise when he saw these windsurfing troops riding the wind and waves.

"Hehe, father, if they are cheetahs on the sea, then the flying team of our art troupe is the condor on the sea, look, they have taken off." Li Tai pointed to the big kite that began to rise in the distance, in fact, the boat of the art troupe is to be reviewed at the end, but the take-off must be in advance to ensure success and subsequent altitude adjustment, this time it is not only the nine female pilots led by the white rose, but also the other members of the art troupe who have passed the flight skills and the flying experts in the horse guard, there are as many as 100 people, Yang Lin added two bamboo tubes that can spray smoke of several colors on their kite wings overnight, and equipped them with a small parachute, Even if the flight fails, relying on the parachute to descend slowly, the safety can also be guaranteed, and the fast-moving windsurfing boat can quickly fish them out of the sea, but in this way, the momentum of the Huainan Navy sandwiched in the middle is a little weak, who calls the flight team so eye-catching!

"They, they can fly?" Fujiwara Kitake's eyes were about to fall to the ground, and he accidentally met the fleet of the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty during his escape, and saw the strongest army in the world, and this qiē in front of him made him wonder if he was dreaming.

The flight speed of the kite is difficult to control, and after a while, the kite team in a simple line flew to the sky above the ships of the Huainan fleet, and they could only be reviewed with the Huainan fleet.

"Heavenly Army, they are Heavenly Army, Heavenly Army of the Celestial Empire" Fujiwara Noritake and his people were trembling, croaking and screaming in their own boats, and even jumping around, and the words shouted out of their mouths were like this, but fortunately, they were far away from the Emperor, and the sound of the sea breeze and waves directly overshadowed their shouts.

"Flying Dance, this is the real Flying Dance," many officials on the Emperor also shouted.

The faces of the officials of the Seven Sects and Five Surnames were very heavy, and the emperor completely vetoed their etiquette system, proving that the emperor was going to start not being polite to them, but at present, the army of the Tang Dynasty was too strong, and in front of the supreme army, they who took the civil official line had to retreat, and the right in the final analysis was combat effectiveness, Li Er has the absolute upper hand.

When all the battleships were lined up with the horizontal array of the imperial court, Li Er's Emperor set out, detoured to the front of the team, and began to sail at the bow of each battleship, although the scorching sun had sunburned a layer of fine sweat on Li Er's forehead, but when people were pulling the wind, they didn't care if he was hot or not, every time the Emperor walked past the bow of a battleship, there would be a "long live" sound of the tsunami of the soldiers on board, and the northern soldiers would forget it. Yanglin asked all the Lingnan troops to learn the pronunciation of this Chinese word to create the effect of all people returning to their hearts.

A round of sè down, Li Er felt that he was about to become the Holy Emperor, but the Holy Emperor also had to eat, early in the morning, plus a few hours of military parade has made everyone hungry, at this time there is no speaker amplifier equipment, so there is no design of any leader speech, talking to tens of thousands of people spread out at sea is a big technical job, Yanglin can't do it now, when the day is westward, all the warships entered the Xiachuan Island Military Port under the leadership of the Emperor, Feng Ang led the sons to meet at the dock, On the beach that stretches for more than ten miles, piles of fires are lit, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, melons and fruits, seafood and fish are piled up like a mountain, and the bonfire dinner is about to be held.

"Minister Feng Ang leads all the heirs to welcome Your Majesty."

On the dock, Feng Ang was the leader, and dozens of boys of all sizes behind him knelt on the ground with him, their family was the only one who knelt today, of course, this act was completely to show loyalty to Li Er.

As soon as Li Er got down from the emperor, his feet were still a little unsteady, so he rushed to Feng An, helped him up from the ground with both hands and said: "Aiqing, please get up, Aiqing runs Lingnan for me, and he has worked hard, from now on, no matter on any occasion, give Aiqing no kneeling, and you all get up!" ”

This picture of the sympathy of the monarch and the ministers is naturally also made for the soldiers of Lingnan to see, only in this way can the military power of Lingnan pass into Li Er's hands more smoothly. (To be continued......)
