Chapter 679: The Li Family in Longxi
Sea boats are not the same as river boats.
Most of the river boats are flat-bottomed, and the river surface is calm and suitable for navigation.
The sea is rough, and the flat-bottomed boat is prone to direct wave capsizing.
Therefore, the structure of a sea ship is completely different from that of a flat-bottomed boat.
People in this era may not understand it very well, but Li Yunze knows it clearly.
He built a shipyard near the sea in Huiji County.
Naturally, there were no steel shipyards in this era, and both river and sea boats were made of wood.
Naturally, the timber used to build the ship is mainly oak trees.
The oak tree is not a single tree species, but a large genus that is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
In Dahan, oak trees usually refer to oak trees or oak trees.
Today's environment is very primitive, with countless stout hundred-year-old trees in various places, and there are naturally many oak trees and oak trees.
Li Yunze had already arranged for people to cut down those qualified trees, and it was almost usable after two years of drying.
As for the construction, it is directly taken from the drawings of the sea ships of the Age of Discovery.
However, one important thing is that because there is bamboo here in Huaxia, you can make a compartment.
There is no room in Europa, and naturally there is no compartment.
Add this modification, and the rest of the matter is to build it directly.
Compared with the difficult transportation of logistics materials on land with complex terrain, the transportation capacity and savings are more than ten times that of direct transportation by sea ship.
From the grain-producing north, ten stone of grain was sent to the front line of Sanyue, and a large number of people and time were mobilized along the way, not to mention that those who could finally reach the front line could have two or three stones.
And a large ship loaded with a few thousand stone of grain, from the northern seaport where grain is produced, can be delivered to the coastline of Mitsukoshi in a maximum of ten days and half a month, which consumes negligible manpower and material resources compared to land transportation.
The most convenient thing is that Mitsukoshi is by the sea, which is simply tailor-made.
After receiving the great benefits of the sea ship from Li Yunze, Gongsun Ao, who was in high spirits, immediately began to prepare.
On the one hand, he went to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces to check the information of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, he urged the shipyards to speed up the construction of seagoing ships and the number of them.
It is not an easy task to recruit Mitsukoshi, and it even takes more than a year to prepare in advance.
However, while making preparations, it is also possible to prepare for diplomatic work in advance.
In this regard, it is natural to go to the Zongheng family.
Facing Gongsun Ao, who came to visit, the main father who was busy with business also took time to entertain.
After listening to Gongsun Ao's narration, the master father smiled and said, "Do you want to surrender all three of them, or do you only want to surrender one of them?" ”
Gongsun Ao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Can the three crosses surrender?" ”
The master father said with a smile, "Dongou is a good country, close to Huiji County all the year round, and is deeply influenced by the Han Dynasty. The most important thing is that they lost the war with Minyue one after another, and even had the danger of destroying the country. As long as the imperial army is together, it is not difficult to appease the country with good words
。 ”
"Taught."
Gongsun Ao saluted and asked, "There are two countries left, can you hope to appease them?" ”
"Zhao Tuo, the lord of South Vietnam, is more than 100 years old, and he has ruled the land of South Vietnam for more than 80 years." Master Father Yan seriously analyzed: "If he doesn't die, it is useless for the South Vietnamese State to appease him." ”
"What if I die?"
"If he dies, he can naturally spread rumors in his country, causing his children and grandchildren to fight among themselves. When the army is in the city, it is feasible to pull a wave and fight a wave. ”
Gongsun Ao nodded again and again: "What about Minyue Kingdom?" ”
Speaking of this, the master father Yan was embarrassed.
"The lord of Minyue is quite capable and popular. It's not easy to appease. ”
Seeing the disappointed look on Gongsun Ao's face, the master father felt that his professional ability was underestimated, he coughed, and then said, "But if you can break through Dongou and Nanyue first, block all parts of Minyue, and when the army gathers, you may have the ability to appease." ”
"Thank you Prime Minister for your advice."
Gongsun Ao saluted and raised his wine glass to signal, "He will break the three crosses one day, and he will not dare to forget the prime minister's merits." ”
When Gongsun Ao was running around to eliminate Sanyue, Li Yunze received three more subordinates here.
These two are father and son, it is Li Guang and his eldest son Li Danghu, as well as the second son Li Jiao.
"Li Guang, you can contribute to the country wholeheartedly, and you have made great contributions." Li Yunze looked at Li Guang with a pleased gaze, "This attack is very timely, I didn't get lost, not to mention, and accurately blocked Liu Dingguo, who was about to escape, I am very pleased." ”
Li Guang's face turned red when he said this, he was lucky, and he ran into Liu Dingguo who ran away when he got lost, otherwise he would definitely run in vain with the army this time.
Don't say anything credit at that time, those militiamen who follow him will inevitably sprinkle their resentment on Li Guang's father and son.
Of course, this is naturally self-defeating.
Li Guang thanked him according to the process, but he took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, the one who captured the rebellious Liu Dingguo was the dog in charge." ”
"Huh?"
What he meant by this, Li Yunze instantly understood, this is to give credit to his son.
Li Danghu shouted eagerly, "Father."
"Shut up!" Li Guangda was furious, "Your Majesty is in person, how can you make a mistake!" Don't speak. ”
Li Yunze was also a little funny, glanced at Li Kang among the Lang officials not far away, retracted his gaze and said, "Since this is the case, then this merit will be on Li Danghu's body, and he will be named the Pavilion Marquis." ”
"Your Majesty Xie~~~"
Li Guang, who saluted sincerely, old tears fell.
Their old Li family finally came out of the Han Dynasty, and finally had a marquis.
Well, Li Guang is the descendant of Li Xin, the general of the Qin State, and he is the Li Xin who led an army of 200,000 to attack the Chu State before Wang Qian.
Li Xin, who made meritorious contributions in the pacification of the Six Kingdoms, was made a marquis by Zulong and multiplied in Longxi.
However, when it came to Dahan, the Li family struggled for many years, and it was only at this time that he finally had the title of marquis, even if it was just a pavilion marquis, he was not a marquis.
"As for you."
Li Yunze looked at Li Guang, and then said, "Youbeiping is in ruins, you go to be the county guard of Youbeiping, so you can protect the border land, don't let the Huns enter the customs again and harm the people." ”
returned to the system from the status of a civilian, Li Guang was even moved to tears, and his voice choked up and saluted, "Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust~~~"
Seeing his appearance, Li Yunze couldn't help but persuade a few words: "After arriving in Youbeiping, you should pay attention to the environment outside the fortress, and if you send troops, it is best to find some guides." ”
Li Guang didn't think much about it, and thanked him again.
During the Hundred Years War between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, although the Xiongnu often entered the Kou, the border generals and captains of the Han Dynasty would also send troops from time to time to catch a small tribe and beat it violently.
It's just that because of the lack of cavalry and guides, they basically don't go deep, and only look for opportunities near the border.
The real large-scale in-depth war in the territory of the Xiongnu was after the rise of Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi.
"All the men and horses led by you can be included in the ranks of the regular soldiers of the Han army, and they should be rewarded for meritorious service, and they are all equal to the regular soldiers."
These words moved Li Guang even more.
He is a responsible person, and he was elected as the leader by everyone, so he naturally wanted to find a way out for the big guy.
For those militiamen who followed the imperial army to go on the march, being able to become regular soldiers after meritorious service was the ultimate pursuit.
Now that this wish has been achieved, Li Guang is naturally grateful and has lived up to everyone's expectations of himself.
The matter was not over yet, Li Yunze looked at Li Danghu and said, "Are you willing to command the navy?" ”
"Trolls?"
Li Danghu looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise: "The minister is from Longxi." ”
In Longxi, cavalry often comes out.
"It doesn't matter." Li Yunze waved his hand and said, "As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, there is nothing that cannot be done." I intend to appoint you as the governor of the navy and command the navy to participate in the battle to pacify Sanyue. ”
It was the first time that the father and son of the Li family heard that the Son of Heaven was going to pacify Sanyue, and as a military general, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Danghu did not hesitate to say: "The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”
As long as you can participate in the war and have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, let alone become the governor of the navy, even if you want to be a militiaman.
In fact, it was precisely because Li Yunze included thousands of militiamen who followed Wei Qing to fight against the Xiongnu in one breath this time into the affairs of the imperial court's regular soldiers, which led to the later Gongsun Ao's army going to Sanyue, which attracted countless young people from all over the Han Dynasty to follow as militia
The scale is so huge that it is almost catching up with the number of regular soldiers in the imperial court.
Li Kang, who was among the officials, twisted his body around, stopped talking, and stared at the Son of Heaven like fire.
Feeling Li Kang's gaze, Li Yunze smiled slightly, and said to Li Guang, "Let Li Dare go with Li Danghu to do things, your second son Li Jiao, and be an official by my side." ”
Li Jiao's health is not very good, and he died of illness early in history, so it is better not to go to war and stay in Chang'an City.
Everyone in the Li family was grateful, and they all saluted and thanked Li Yunze.
"Li Danghu."
"The minister is here."
Li Yunze, who was smiling, instructed, "National affairs are indeed important, but family inheritance cannot be delayed." Take advantage of the time now, you can get married first, and I will give you a house in Chang'an New Town. ”
In history, Li Danghu died early, leaving only one child, or a posthumous son.
The child's name is Li Ling.
In the Han Dynasty, the name was mostly two characters, and the reason why Li Danghu took the name three characters was because when he was born, it happened that Li Guang defeated a tribe of the Xiongnu, and also captured the tribal leader, a big household in the Xiongnu royal court.
Dadanghu is a Xiongnu military position, leading thousands of soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to a captain of the Han military academy.
Defeated thousands of Hun soldiers and horses in the first battle, and captured Dadanghu alive, which was also a proud record in the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, so the happy Li Guang named his eldest son Li Danghu.
As for Li Ling, in the face of the siege of 80,000 Huns, being able to fight until the arrows are exhausted is definitely worthy of the Han Dynasty.
And he later wanted to escape back to the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately Gongsun Ao, who was in charge of the reception, failed to meet the success, but lied to Emperor Wu, saying that Li Ling trained the Xiongnu soldiers and horses without the intention of returning, which directly led to the extermination of Li Ling's family.
Now Li Yunze arranged for Gongsun Ao and Li Danghu brothers to go to pacify Sanyue together, which is really like a fateful arrangement.
Huo Quzhi has already been born, if Li Ling is also born, Li Yunze can take them all with him to cultivate.
With Li Yunze in this life, he will never let Huaxiaqi die prematurely, and let him live a long life!
