After a long absence of more than half a year, Li Hao finally returned to Li's shipyard.

After half a year of business development, the scale of Li's shipyard has expanded a lot, and the interior layout is more standardized and orderly.

In the past six months, the shipyard has recruited apprentices, and there are already 3,000 workers in the entire shipyard. The speed at which dragonscale warships are being built is also getting faster.

In the shipyard port, more than 300 dragon scale warships were neatly arranged, and from a distance, a magnificent and domineering momentum rushed to the face.

The dockyard owner excitedly took Li Hao to visit the entire shipyard and actively introduced to him their new inventions in the past six months.

Nowadays, each dragon scale warship is equipped with ten small boats, although the small boat does not have the destructive power to penetrate, but it is more flexible, and when fighting with the enemy, it can harass and contain it.

Each ship is also equipped with several city-breaking crossbows, which specialize in the enemy's weak underbelly.

Even on several main ships, even the catapults of the Linghui Army were carried on board. A catapult made of metal that can project oil drums and flaming stone projectiles. As soon as the local fleet is hit by oil drums, it immediately ignites a raging flame.

Long-range weapons, no matter what era they are, are the most powerful weapons in warfare.

Looking at the elite warships, Li Hao nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good, you can build so many elite ships, you have lived up to the trust of this king!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, my subordinates heard that the prince is going to lead troops to recruit the Dongying Japanese Kou this time, but is there such a thing?"

"That's right!" Li Hao chuckled: "The Dongying Japanese invaders have been invading the Datang Seashore for many years, relying on our compatriots not to care, and they are getting more and more inches, if you don't give them a little color to see, I really think that I have no one in China!" ”

"Great! I've long seen that group of Dongying pirates are not pleasing to the eye! It's just that in recent years, the inland war has become worse and worse, whether it is the Tang Heavenly Army or the Linghui Army, they can't spare time to clean up the surrounding waters. Lord Wang, the shipyard will fully support this war, I don't know how many ships the prince needs? ”

"All!"

"Good!"

Without the slightest reason, the shipyard owner immediately agreed, and then ordered left and right to return the command of all warships to Li Hao.

"Lord Wang, what else can we help with besides the warship?"

Li Hao thought for a while: "The Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom have been fighting for several years, the treasury is empty, this time it is not possible to draw out military expenses for this battle, this king has collected a batch of military expenses earlier, I will give you the money later, you help me buy a batch of food, water, and materials for the war!" ”

"It's the prince!"

"Also, this battle, don't tell the people, it's not easy for them to support the front war and donate money and materials, if the matter of this king leading troops to recruit Dongying is exposed, it is inevitable that the people will have to break the bank!"

"The prince is righteous, and his subordinates admire! I know what to do! ”

"Also, inform the Shadow Guards that fighting at sea is not the King's forte, and I need their help. This time, let 'him' be the master! ”

"It's the prince, I'll arrange it!"

What Li Hao said was Ying Hui Yi, who was defeated by Li Hao before-Hailifei.

In the past six months, Ying Huiyi has been training the navy in the Suzhou Navy Mansion, and before assisting the Tang Heavenly Army to fight against thieves at sea, they went up the coast and attacked the room Wei Jing.

In the end, in the second Yingmen of the Shadow Hui Army, he went straight to the Turkic royal city, and it was they who disturbed the deployment of Ashina Fanjun, which can be said to be a great contribution.

But after the war, the Shadow Hui Army disappeared quietly and returned along the waterway, Ying Hui Yi returned to Suzhou with the water army, and Ying Hui II returned to the Li Kingdom with his own troops. When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, there is no share of them, this is the so-called Shadow Glory Army has no merit and is not rewarded.

In half a year, Ying Huiyi completely rectified the Suzhou Naval Division, and completely trained this poor and weak naval army into a tiger and wolf division on the sea. This time, Li Hao dared to use 10,000 troops to march into the Turks, in addition to the dragon scale battleship and "Thousands of Weather", there was also this trained sailor who could fight well.

That night, Ying Huiyi walked into Li Hao's study with a bronze mask and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Subordinate Ying Hui Yi, knock on the prince!"

Li Hao threw the manuscript of "Thousands of Meteorology" in his hand in front of him: "You take this book, I will give you three days to study it carefully, and after three days, I will lead 10,000 elite sailors, although this king will go to sea together and go on an expedition to Dongying." ”

"It's the prince, Shadow One will never live up to the prince's expectations!"

Shadow One picked up the book and carefully put it in his arms.

As a pirate in the past, he often fought with the Japanese Bandits, and they already had enmity with each other, but now that Li Hao ordered an expedition to Dongying, he was too late to be happy, so naturally he would not have the slightest objection.

Li Hao poured a cup of tea, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Ying Huiyi, with your understanding of Dongying, do you think that we, the ten thousand water masters, can capture Dongying later?" ”

"Capture Dongying?" Ying Hui Yi was a little dumbfounded, fighting against the Dongying people at sea, and the Ying Hui Army was absolutely untimid. But Dongying is still a dynasty after all, and the sailors are only a part of them. Fighting at sea, with the strength of the dragon scale battleship, no matter how many enemies you encounter, you will not be defeated, and it is still too difficult for 10,000 people to conquer Dongying.

But in front of Li Hao, Ying Huiyi didn't dare to say such things, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Li Hao laughed: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"10,000 people is too little, and now although the Suzhou Navy Division is all elite, the experience of naval combat is already proficient, and it can fight on land, and its strength is far inferior to that of the Linghui Army. Although Dongying is a small land, there are more than 100,000 regular troops of samurai ninjas in the country, if we are too few in number, or we are not opponents! ”

"Haha, then do we want to make a bet, this time the king will use 10,000 people to conquer the entire Dongying."

"The prince is domineering, his subordinates admire, he was originally a horse before and after the saddle, I wish the prince a hand."

"Very well, in that case, you can go down first. Remember, you only have three days to study this book, and if you don't win, all the blame will fall on you! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Go ahead!"

Li Hao waved his hand lightly, and Ying Huiyi immediately bowed down, and then walked out of the study quickly.

"How, is it still useful to fly in the sea?"

Li Hao looked at Ying Huiyi's departure, and asked with a smile behind the screen in the study.

"The hungry wolf on the sea has been tamed into a domestic dog by you after all, and as far as I can see, it can be used."

Behind the screen, Li Ziyin's voice came.

A few days ago, when she heard that Li Hao defeated Dongying, she would plan to open up the Maritime Silk Road. This is a business opportunity, and it is an irresistible temptation for any giant family.

So, Li Ziyin replaced the Li family in Longxi and agreed to this investment, and the military expenses of 10,000 sailors for a year were all provided by the Li family in Longxi, and even she, the head of the family, followed Li Hao to Suzhou to supervise the war.

Li Ziyin has been in the business world all the year round, and she has read countless people, and no one can lie in front of her.

With her words, Li Hao can also rest assured that Yinghui Yi can be used.

After all, Ying Hui Yi was once flying in the sea, his pirate team was destroyed in the hands of Li Hou, and now he can only be a lonely and unknown sailor captain, Li Hao does not dare to gamble his loyalty with his life.
