Chapter 551: Location of the Shenji Mansion Branch

"That's it!"

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin and the eldest grandson Wuji were about to quarrel, and the military and civilian officials represented by the two parties were also about to fight.

At this time, Li Shimin finally couldn't help it, he frowned, patted the dragon case heavily, and said, "How to decide is my business!" Why are you so excited? ”

Li Shimin's words reminded Cheng Yanjin and the eldest grandson Wuji, now that they are in the Liangyi Palace, it is not them who are really in charge, but the Son of Heaven.

"Keming, Xuan Ling, what do you think?" Li Shimin looked at the Liangyi Hall that was gradually calming down, and said to Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, this matter should be left to His Royal Highness King Wu!" Fang Xuanling touched the short beard under his chin, and his face was flat and impermanent.

"Oh? Xuan Ling, tell me about it! Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said.

"Your Majesty, first of all, this Dengzhou was originally given to His Royal Highness King Wu, and if you want to attack Goguryeo, you must use Dengju as a springboard, and only by entering Bihua City can you attack the hinterland of Goguryeo!"

Fang Xuanling said eloquently: "Although my Chang'an is not far from Dengzhou, it is not close!" If you transfer troops from Chang'an City to Dengzhou, you will not be able to catch up in time in the first place! Besides, if the soldiers of my Chang'an City are only talking about land wars or immediate wars, they may still be called elite! But if it is in the water or at sea, then my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty must be dispatched from the land south of the Yangtze River! ”

"What Xuan Ling Gong said is good!" Du Ruhui agreed with Fang Xuanling's words, "Maybe the only army in my Tang Dynasty that can fight in an all-round way is Shenwuwei!" ”

"Oh? That's why you tried your best to persuade me to send the remaining Shenwu guards in Chang'an City to Dengzhou? Li Shimin understood what Du Ruhui meant.

"Exactly!" Du Ruhui nodded and said: "With the ability of the prince, if you want to attack Goguryeo, there are not many in the essence, and the location of Dengzhou is also destined for the prince to have an absolute geographical advantage!" ”

"Your Majesty. The prince can fight well, not only his own martial arts are unbeatable, but also has excellent military combat experience, and firearms to help, if you want to deal with Goguryeo in the melee, it is definitely not a difficult thing! ”

Fang Xuanling took over the conversation, especially when he said this, he bowed directly to Li Shimin, and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to give His Royal Highness King Wu full authority to be in charge of the war in Goguryeo!" ”

"Please Your Majesty give His Royal Highness King Wu full authority to take charge of the war in Goguryeo!"

As Fang Xuanling's voice landed, the civilian forces he represented, as well as Li Jing, Niu Jinda and other military people. All bowed to Li Shimin and asked for this.

"That's it! In this case, I ordered to appoint the warrior king Li Yuanba as the general manager of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and lead the army of 10,000 gods and warriors. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, and continued to say in a deep voice: "In addition, the crown prince Zhan Shi and Zuo Wuwei general Li Ji are the general managers of the march of Liaodong Road, and lead 20,000 cavalry and Lan and Hezhou to descend Hu to force Liaodong!" ”

Speaking of which. Li Shimin stood up, looked at the front of the Liangyi Hall with bright eyes, and said:

As a result, the two armies of land and water marched together to attack Goguryeo. I believe that in the near future, I, the Tang Dynasty, will completely annex Goguryeo! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the civil and military officials in the Liangyi Hall shouted in unison.

……

Dengzhou, after Li Yuanba saw those things in the cabin. After some excitement, the excitement dissipated.

However, all the Shenwuwei came to Dengzhou, and Li Yuanba naturally needed to arrange it. Coupled with the welcome banquet, it was past noon.

It wasn't until after noon that Li Yuanba finally found time to experiment with the newly built sailboat.

Everything was as Li Yuanba expected, the experimental effect of this sailboat was unexpectedly good, in addition to being unparalleled in speed, it was also unparalleled in terms of center of gravity and manning.

Within one day, there will be two things that are most suitable for the development of Dengzhou, and Li Yuanba is very satisfied.

In the evening, Li Yuanba held a feast in the shipyard to reward the shipyard executives who built the sailboats and the shipwrights who worked day and night.

For the rest of the night, everyone was immersed in joy, because so much had happened in this day, and they were all a little unable to accept it.

And for Li Yuanba, the same is true.

It's just that starting tomorrow, he needs to start preparing for the task on the secret order issued by Li Shimin.

So, from the next day, Li Yuanba began to get busy, he first asked Zhao Sanpao to organize a large number of craftsmen who were proficient in construction, and then accompanied by Dengzhou Weidu Tongtian Gang and Ji Chuan, the leader of the slave catcher, almost the entire Dengzhou territory was turned.

In the end, we finally chose a very ideal location within the sea area of Dengzhou and decided to establish a very important place here.

According to Li Shimin's secret order, what Li Yuanba wants to establish is a branch of the Shenji Mansion, which is naturally like the Shenji Mansion in Chang'an City, and all aspects must be kept secret, otherwise, once the things in the Shenji Mansion are leaked, it will have an unimaginable impact on Datang.

Therefore, the choice of this place is very important, either build in a well-guarded place, or desperately look for a hidden place.

In the end, Li Yuanba chose to choose and decide, but decided not to build the Shenji Mansion branch inland, but to choose a small island in the sea around Dengzhou.

There are many small islands in the sea outside Dengzhou City, and most of them are uninhabited desert islands.

The last time Ji Chuan arranged for Su Shihan to hide on the small island, the location was very good, because the area of this small island is not large, and the island is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, as long as a tall and strong wall is built on the side with the beach, and a sentry post and a divine cannon are installed on the cliffs on the other three sides, that island will naturally become an excellent stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, one of the most important factors for Li Yuanba to choose this place is because this island is not far from Dengzhou City, and it only takes an hour to carry people and goods on a new sailing ship.

In this way, even if this place is invaded by the enemy, as long as the people stationed in Dengzhou can arrive in time, they can naturally hold this place.

At the same time that this small island was selected as the branch of the Shenji Mansion, the Governor's Mansion was not idle.

Under the instruction of Li Yuanba, Wang Jun began to recruit a large number of blacksmiths, carpenters and various carving masters in Dengzhou and the surrounding counties and towns, and the flow of saltpeter and sulfur also began to increase suddenly.

After all, this Dengzhou Shenji Mansion is mainly responsible for the research and production of heavy firearms, and when the Shenji Mansion really starts operating, there will be a large number of firearms circulating throughout the Tang Dynasty to create a military Datang! (To be continued......)
