Chapter 1033: Li Xiang's Water Master
Of course, this is from the perspective of the imperial court, if you calculate it from Li Xiang's vision, in fact, it didn't cost so much money at all, the warships and all kinds of weapons and equipment were exchanged from the system, and the points for conquering Goguryeo had not been used up yet, not to mention that it had increased a lot recently, so only the salaries and training funds of these soldiers were paid by themselves, but this is not a small number.
According to the current income of the Tang Dynasty, they can indeed afford it, but they can't even take out one-third of it back then, and even if they can take out one-third of it back then, then the Tang Dynasty won't be able to operate in other aspects.
People in this era generally don't look down on the water division, so it is impossible for them to throw all the money here, in the eyes of many high-level Tang people, Jin Ge Iron Horse is the most important, if they throw all the money on the water division, who will train their land army?
"The prince is serious, there is nothing to be sorry for, we are all the army of the Tang Dynasty, and everything is important to the imperial court."
It was obviously a word of loyalty, but when it came out of Ding Tu's mouth, King Wu Li Ke felt so harsh, and looking at this guy's expression, he really didn't look like he wanted to serve the court, but people were on other people's territory, and they could say whatever they wanted, and King Wu could only smile and nod.
At this embarrassing time, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao in the distance came over on horseback, and other people's face can not be given to Cheng Yanjin, it must be given, who let this be our prince's father-in-law, even if Li Xiang's letter has not yet come, the generals have honestly dismounted from the warhorses.
After seeing this scene, Wu Wang Li Ke's face was very dark, when he came over just now, except for Ding Tu dismounting, the others said that he was in armor, so he couldn't get off the horse to see, why don't you talk about this now?
Although he was not satisfied, Li Ke, the king of Wu, also understood that after all, this is other people's territory, we can only endure it first, and wait until the vast sea, in case these people feel uncomfortable, they will throw themselves directly into the sea, and there will be no place to reason when the time comes, so Li Ke, the king of Wu, has already made up his mind, and after he arrives on the sea, he must follow Cheng Yanjin, this person is quite reliable, at least these people can't throw Li Xiang's father-in-law into the sea.
"See His Royal Highness King Wu."
After the two old generals dismounted, they saluted King Wu with a glance, which made Li Ge come back to his senses, he also has the identity of a prince, and the people who were choked by these sailors just now thought that they had come here to work.
"Two uncles, how is your review of the Army?"
According to Li Xiang's previous statement, in the face of Fusang, the naval division warship is the most important, and the army is ranked in a secondary position, but King Wu and the two old generals do not agree, in their concept, the cavalry charge infantry advances, which is what should be used in normal warfare, so after the two old generals arrived in Goguryeo, they went to inspect the army camp as soon as possible.
"If you go back to Your Highness, the training is okay, if you look at it from the perspective of combat effectiveness, at most it is about half of the elite of Chang'an, these Goguryeo people should not be good at fighting, they are best at defense."
Qin Shubao is qualified to say this, when Li Shimin went east to Goguryeo, Qin Shubao also knew Goguryeo very well, we fought hard under their city, but if it was a decisive battle in the field, Goguryeo's army would not be our opponent, we could fight the three of them one by one.
Ding Tu looked at it coldly from the side, in his opinion, although these two old generals were famous, but in the attack on Fusang, these two old generals may not be strong.
Li Xiang had already given them an order early on, and let them start to simulate the attack on Fusang when they trained, and they also collected a lot of news about Fusang, and learned that more than 70% of Fusang's population was in the coastal area, and more than 50% of the population was within the range of their artillery fire, so if you used the infantry as the main force, then you would lose half of it at the beginning.
Li Xiang's strategy Ding Tu is also very clear, when attacking Fusang, the main force is our naval division, and the infantry only plays an auxiliary role, and the naval division warships surrounded the coast with a burst of bombardment, turning some large cities in Fusang into abandoned areas, at that time, it is estimated that the high-level of Fusang will begin to succumb, and the infantry will go up to reap the benefits.
But so far, no one has asked you how to attack Fusang, whether it is King Wu or the two old generals, they all think that this war should be the way it was fought before, since this is the case, we will not talk much.
"Where has Li Xiang been?"
In this camp, King Wu is Li Xiang's own uncle, so he can call Li Xiang by his name, and when there are not many people, Cheng Yanjin also has this privilege, but now in front of so many people, Cheng Yanjin can't say it.
"Report to His Royal Highness King Wu, His Royal Highness Taisun still has half a month to go......"
Hearing this report from his subordinates, Wu Wang Li Ke frowned, if Li Xiang didn't come here, then there would be no way to carry out a lot of work, just take these people in front of him, they only recognized that Li Xiang's decree had been read out before the order, and these people didn't say that they didn't obey it, but they just said that they needed to prepare for a period of time, if they rushed to sea, who would really lose the warship?
Wu Wang Li Ge had already suffered a loss in Xue Yantuo, so when he heard about the war losses, this guy was a clever guy all over his body, he didn't want to take such a responsibility, especially at the beginning, if there was another copy of Xue Yantuo, then he and his descendants would not want to recover.
"Why did this stinky boy go so slowly, according to the speed at which he came back from the south, he should have arrived in Goguryeo a long time ago, if we used this speed, then wouldn't we have to wait for half a month?"
Cheng Biting Jin shouted in a loud voice, when this voice came out, some young generals in the team were a little unconvinced, but they were immediately stopped by the people next to them, Cheng Biting Jin is not only an old general of the imperial court, but also our prince's father-in-law, people scolded his own son-in-law, what are you not convinced, in case something happens to make trouble, then we will offend our housewife.
