……

I don't know what the navy and warships of the Tang Dynasty were like.

Li Chengqian suddenly became curious.

I have come from Jinan to Donglai, and now the navy has its own eyes, how can I not see it.

So Li Chengqian asked this Cao Shui military captain to take him to meet their general.

As the king of Xiaoyao, the former prince, or the current prince and his father, this identity is here, this captain who lives on the seaside of Shandong and has never seen much of an official, of course, does not dare to slack off.

Li Chengqian, under the leadership of Captain Cao, met the general of the navy surnamed Yan. General Yan is one of the four major scholar clans in Shandong, the Langya Yan family. As for Li Chengqian's desire to see the training of the naval army, especially as the inventor of artillery, he wanted to see how well artillery was used on ships. He didn't dare to object, so he took Li Chengqian to the military port to see it.

Seeing the tall warship, Li Chengqian couldn't help but admire the shipbuilding art of the Tang Dynasty. This shipbuilding technology is now not available in the whole world. I heard people of later generations exaggerate that the ships of the Tang Dynasty were so big that they couldn't even enter the Red Sea, so they had to change boats to get in. However, this is an exaggeration, even the US aircraft carrier can enter the Red Sea in later generations, so how big a ship must be to enter the Red Sea? But it can also be seen that the ships built in this era are indeed big enough and beyond people's imagination.

From the shore to the ship, he made his rounds and saw familiar artillery on the bow deck, and also met two familiar masters of the gunpowder station. I forgot these two names, but Li Chengqian remembered them familiarly, one was a pragmatist and the other was a primary school mathematician. The two of them actually came here on a business trip together. It seems that it is also to calibrate the practicality of artillery on ships.

Ground artillery units can be trained by Chang'an. Send it out again. But to install artillery on the ship, it cannot be temporarily assigned by Chang'an. Instead, you need to go to the ship to practice it, and then you can use it when you think it's okay.

After greeting them, and asking about the current progress of some artillery, I heard that it has been tried several times at sea, and everything is being perfected.

Li Chengqian suddenly wanted to go to sea and follow to have a look.

General Yan next to him would pat himself on the back and said, "Tomorrow at noon, there will be a training trip to the sea, is Your Highness willing to go to guide?" ”

Guide. That's a good word.

I am a leader, I just like to guide others, hahaha, I must follow tomorrow to see.

He promised to get off General Yan, and stayed in the tent of the navy, and he would follow them on the boat tomorrow.

Although he has been in Shandong for almost a month and has been with Cheng Wenxiao, Li Chengqian has not eaten Cheng Wenxiao.

When two people truly love each other, they are not in a hurry to enjoy physical satisfaction. As long as the two are together, they are already satisfied.

Of course, now that Cheng Wenxiao is in the time of filial piety, it is not suitable to do this.

So. They both slept separately now.

When Li Chengqian was about to sleep separately from Cheng Wenxiao, he took Cheng Wenxiao's hand and said, "If I pull you to stay, do you dare?" ”

"Dare!" Cheng Wenxiao didn't think about it. said, "Because you won't do anything to me that you don't love me." ”

After Li Chengqian heard this. I couldn't help but smile on my face.

Not long after I fell asleep, I heard the sound of drums outside. Sitting up angrily, damn, it's not dawn yet, when I walked out of the tent, I saw that a large number of soldiers had begun to assemble, this is a hair.

There were four forbidden soldiers guarding the door, as well as the old dragon, and I didn't know what was going on after asking them, but judging from the reactions of the other soldiers, this drum beat seemed to be a very common thing.

At this time, the others also woke up, and not long after Sister Hippo and Cheng Wenxiao came over, Monk Zhu also came.

After a while, General Yan came over and said that this was the rallying cry for training.

"Didn't you say noon?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

Could it be that he had a problem with his ears last night, or did General Yan go back on his word?

General Yan smiled, and then explained, this noon training, now this is not until three or four o'clock in the morning to need to gather, after everything is ready, go out to sea to the training area, it will be almost noon.

Yes, Li Chengqian also began to wash up, eat breakfast, and at dawn, follow the soldiers on the warship.

He got on the main general's ship with General Yan, and after everything was ready, the drums thundered loudly, and the ship sailed out to sea.

This is not the first time to take a boat, the last time I took a boat was a lifetime, so now on a boat, there is no discomfort, but Cheng Wenxiao, Monk Zhu, Lao Long, they soon felt unwell and seasick.

Their seasickness did not affect this training, and the sailors methodically carried out various training to attack the imaginary enemy, and the important training was, of course, to put the target ship on vacation and let the artillery aim at it.

The whole process is close to the shouting of people and close to the sound of drums.

Li Chengqian sat next to General Yan, this is the main general's platform, and below is the war drum, or herald drum. It was as loud as thunder, and it was so noisy that my ears rang.

After more than two hours, the training course was completed, and the warship returned to port!

After getting off the boat, Li Chengqian didn't vomit, and the other people who followed him all vomited, so Li Chengqian had to help Cheng Wenxiao and Sister Hippo get off the boat together.

When they arrived at the bottom of the boat, General Yan had already prepared the carriage and waited here.

He took into account that Li Chengqian was a landlubber in Chang'an, so he prepared it, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to be seasick or vomit, and now the carriage was given to Cheng Wenxiao and them. Sending Cheng Wenxiao into the carriage, Li Chengqian didn't need to be helped, and General Yan walked towards the barracks and said regretfully: "The navy is not advanced enough, just this drum, I'm afraid that after the navy retires, the ears are not very good!" ”

"Yes, yes, for the country!" General Yan is very good at talking.

"Don't you know the flag order?" Li Chengqian asked strangely, "And the lantern language?" ”

General Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that a colleague said that this former prince is a person who loves to invent new and useful things, and now listening to him say this, he has thought of a new method from the middle, if he can get a new method of training the navy from his mouth, then the navy under his command will fight more powerfully, and the military merits are still on his own. Meddlesome. So he hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, what is the flag order, what is the lamp language?" ”

"Flag order, that is, take flags of different colors, and wave them at a distance, so that people on the other boat can see and understand what the order is here!" Li Chengqian said as he walked.

General Yan lowered his head and pondered the effect of this kind of flag order that Li Chengqian had said.

"You can use red, blue, and yellow colors, and then you can make a good gesture and wave which one when the time comes." Li Chengqian waved his hand at him and said, "Do you know, like your drums, no, if it's against the wind, the drums can't be heard!" ”
