Chapter 0617. Imperial Navy
In the huge court, in addition to a few Fujian ministers, there are also the veterans of the Fujian State who are not afraid of heaven and earth, the main generals Xue Qing, Yao Geluo, Li Xilie, Dadu She, etc., and even the generals knelt down for a third. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Seeing that Li Jie didn't speak for a while, pretending to be bold, Guangluqing Zheng Chongjian took the lead in kowtowing and opening his mouth.
"Your Highness, now that the war on the Degan Plateau in Southern Tianzhu is still unsettled, where is as much as one-third of the imperial forces involved, it is really not suitable to fight on both sides! And I have established at the beginning of the dynasty, the people's minds are determined, the Byzantines are insidious and deceitful, if it is not for the Arabs to fight it, it will not be able to deal with it, and it will not be a vassal to my Fujian country at all, Your Highness, why waste national strength and soldiers in vain for the sake of a country at dusk! ”
"Yes, Your Highness, besides, our country is separated from the Arab Empire by the desert steppe, the Khorasan area is riddled with hills, the land is barren, the population is sparse, and the supply line alone is a problem, Your Majesty, now that our country's territory is big enough, Your Majesty's merits have surpassed the previous emperors, why bother to conquer the barbaric country, the useless land?"
Even the veteran of the army, the general of the left guard, Dugu Zhen, stood up and kowtowed to the ground, and His Majesty was obviously not unintentional, he was reminding Li Jie that these territories were enough to be called the emperor, and there was no need to fight in the east and west.
"Your Majesty, Byzantium is thousands of miles away, it is useless to save it, and now the county near the Himalayas, Yu County has suffered from floods, hundreds of thousands of refugees have no food and clothing, for the benevolent monarch, should be sympathetic to the people and then use the sword!"
"Your Majesty, there is a demon sect in Zhongnan, and the imperial court has not yet built His Majesty's Heavenly Kingdom, and the ancestral temple has not been built......"
"Enough!"
Leng Buding's loud shout made the civil officials and ministers who were kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble, closed their mouths one after another, and looked around, but Li Jie stood up suddenly, and snorted coldly with a face as heavy as water: "Lone just told you Lone's decision again, without asking for your opinions, discussing matters, and later Feng Pavilion ordered Wang Xuance and Wang Qing to promulgate it, and the two pavilions and six ministries fully cooperated, and those who dared to slack off will be dismissed from the court and never used!" ”
Domineering announced the order, flicked his sleeves Li Jie turned around and left the court, walked backwards, looking at his figure, the ministers couldn't help but look at each other, in the past, the king of Min has never been unable to listen to good words and advice, why is it so stubborn when it comes to aiding Byzantium and conquering Arabia?
"Your Highness, think about Sui Yang at the beginning! At that time, His Majesty Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was probably also excited, drawing the sword in the domain, but once he was conquered Goguryeo and lost the country, the century-old foundation of the Great Sui was destroyed in his hands, how painful, although the country is big, the belligerent will die, His Royal Highness thinks twice! ”
plopped and knelt on the ground fiercely, his head grabbed the ground Zheng Chongjian used to cry, and the words he said were really heart-wrenching, and he actually made Li Jiebi the Emperor Yang of Sui, seeing that King Min turned his head with a gloomy face, and the officials of Hula were stunned and hid out for more than half a meter.
"You compare Lone to Emperor Yang of Sui?"
Listening to Li Jie's gloomy words, Zheng Chongjian was not stunned, and still kowtowed and begged: "Emperor Yang is smart, not an ignorant king, but he died of great joy, and the minister is the minister of the King of Fujian, and I never want my lord to repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”
"Then do you know why Lone has to fight Arabia?"
Li Jie's sudden rhetorical question made the ministers stunned, they really hadn't thought about this question. Squinting at the dazed courtiers, Li Jie suddenly showed a smile and said fullly: "Next to the couch, how can you allow others to snore?" ”
After all, it is different from the Tang Dynasty, almost all of the current territory of Fujian is led by Li Jie and his elders, and there are few people in the family who have made great contributions, so in Fujian, Li Jie's will is the will of the whole country, even if it is opposed, the ministers have to implement it.
In order to prevent another chaos of Scar Liu, this time the Fujian State was in a big move, six of the sixteen guards fought in the south, and the remaining ten were divided into half and were gathered to stay in Beijing, and the military power of the five guards was all handed over to Li Rang, the king of Fujun of the prison country, and the assistant to him unexpectedly became the princess Xiao Man'er and her relatives, General Xuanwu, and the doctor Xiao Loujing.
In the past two years, the signs of the dispute between the princes of Fujian have been revealed, and Li Rangjian is affirming his position as the son, and the relatives of Li Jin, who can support the heir of Fujian, are making the big and small families of Fujian unable to understand, this hand is too weird, maybe it is just Li Jie's restraint strategy?
Speaking of which, it's weird not only that, Li Jie, the king himself, makes the ministers feel weird, there is a ready-made throne that doesn't do it, but he wants to go out to fight the world by himself, and others have a big fart where they hurriedly want to be the emperor, this has laid down the land equivalent to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it is full of addiction to being a king now, other emperors, as far as Li Zhi is concerned, as soon as he ascended the throne, he hurriedly carried out his own mausoleum construction work, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to repair the Qianling, this is good, now the kingdom's imperial mausoleum has not even dug a pit, So that countless heroes who dreamed of accompanying the burial of the emperor's mausoleum do not know where to bury themselves.
So, on the eve of the chaotic dispatch of troops, all kinds of speculation became popular among officials again, some said that the king of Min had taken a fancy to the holy land of Jerusalem in the west and wanted to use it as an imperial mausoleum, and some said that the king of Min had taken a fancy to the throne of hope, and even he himself said that the emperor in the world has only the most orthodox two poles, the Tang Dynasty in the East and Rome in the West!
The thought that his lord might have to become emperor through war can also be regarded as a lot of motivation for these family officials who are fascinated by the dream of empire.
On the tenth day of August, more than ten days after the bloody battle of Constantinople began, the army of Fujian also gathered in the siege near the Beijing Division, this time sending troops, the traditional Fujian King Tielin 30,000, Guanning Iron Cavalry 50,000 people, and expanded to 10,000 Sixteen Wei Standing Army five provinces, plus more than 100,000 together.
In addition, there were 10,000 Tubo cavalry to help Fujian, 40,000 Southern Tianzhu nobles and government soldiers attached to the south, 50,000 Northern Tianzhu government soldiers, and 200,000 troops opened an unprecedented huge formation on the Jingshi Plain.
And this time it is very strange, Fujian has brought more than 100,000 Jews who are the only racial discrimination and are detained for hard labor as people.
To tell the truth, this time the troops were really hasty, Li Shimin in order to conquer Goguryeo, Zhenguan for 18 years, Zhenguan 19 years for more than two years to prepare, most of them are to stabilize the government, stabilize the rear to go, from the decision to send troops, it took only more than ten days for the Fujian State, and it was still the same as always.
However, seeing the soldiers marching on the plain, the soldiers were like a forest, and no Fujian people thought that they would fail.
"Everything in Jingshi will be handed over to you."
Almost two-thirds of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces kept up with the camp of the expedition, and even Zheng Chongjian, who was compared to Tian Feng, had packed his bags sadly, in front of the Xuanwu Gate in the north, a large group of farewell teams crowded here, facing the eldest son Li Rang, Xiao Shufei Xiao Man'er, and the old Yang Yi who went out of the mountain again, Xiao Lou, the head of the auxiliary ministers, Li Jie arched his hand slightly.
"Father/Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers will be all over the ground to protect the stability of the Fujian country!" Qi Qi, who is already more than nine years old and has a little adult, Li Rang, the king of Fujun, led a group of left-behind ministers to bow solemnly, among so many people, only Xiao Man'er, who was unwilling to stay, angrily stiffened his nose at Li Jie.
This girl will never grow up. He shook his head secretly and looked at the intelligence leader who was shrinking behind the crowd, and the police general Xue Zhiguan also nodded with a reassuring look, Li Jie finally whipped up his horse and ordered loudly to the long-awaited Praetorian Cavalry: "The whole army is up!" ”
"Waiting for His Highness's victorious return!" Once again, Li Rang, the king of Fujun, and his entourage bowed respectfully, looking at his serious brother who had fallen to the ground from a distance, but Li Jin, the second prince who was allowed to follow the army, looked back with an unconvinced look, and then the horsewhip was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and he galloped quickly with the large team.
The huge Fujian Yankuai team traveled all the way west, but the supply problem in the Khorasan mountain plateau that Dugu was worried about did not appear, because the expeditionary force did not take the Himalayan road, but went all the way to the Indian Ocean, and in five days, it arrived at the place where the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean converged along the Fujian Road.
In later generations, it was Karachi, the largest port in Pakistan, but now it has become the largest shipbuilding base and naval base in Fujian, New Changzhou, where thousands of towering sails can be seen fluttering in the sea breeze in the arc of the huge bay.
If you ask which army is the most money-burning in Fujian, it is neither the Guanning Iron Cavalry with one man and three horses, nor the Fujian King Tielin, who has experienced a hundred battles, it has to be this navy, from the 50-meter Shuowang level Qi ships when they landed in Tianzhu to the present, the main battle of more than 50 meters Qi ships has come forward, and there are countless supply ships of various types.
If you want to talk about comparison, there is only the Ming Dynasty Naval Division a thousand years later, in the ancient world, there is no other fleet bigger than this, even the Spanish Armada in the seventeenth century.
This navy was also worthy of the pioneering mission of the Fujian State, attacking the coast of South Tianzhu, protecting the trade caravan to go to Persia by sea, and even the farthest fleet of the Fujian State sailed to the east coast of Africa, with 100,000 seamen, which was the pride of the Fujian State.
"Admiral of the Naval Division, the chief of the march in the Persian Gulf, Luantai ordered Liu Renliang to meet His Highness!"
I got the news early, and before Li Jie's army arrived in New Changzhou, Liu Renliang had already gone out of the city for twenty miles to greet him, and seeing him lead a group of sailor generals to bow down, Li Jie couldn't help but be full of excitement.
"Gentlemen, please get up!"
