Chapter 421

When Li Hong saw his dragon father's face, two words appeared in his head: the bottom of the pot.

It's true that Li Zhi's face is as black as the bottom of a pot. He's in a hurry all the way. He's afraid that his journey will delay the military affairs. As soon as he enters the city, he sees his prince's bodyguard leading the troops to guard the city, and he has already gone out for sightseeing.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is he here to fight or play? In Anxi, is that how he made his great achievements? Li Zhi expressed doubts.

In Li Hong's eyes, when long father and Long Ma are angry, he would rather face Wu Mei, the dragon mother, than the more cautious father.

Long Ma is very good at coax. She plays with her two skin faces and kneads her shoulders and her back. Her anger is basically eliminated.

But the Dragon father is not the same. After he was born, he could make himself angry and half to death. In addition, if he dared to refuse to admit his mistake, Li Zhi could even hold his breath for three days.

And this is also related to his vertigo. If his mind is relatively open and peaceful, I'm afraid that in history, Li Zhi can't say that he can live a few more years, and Li Hong's dragon mother may not be emperor.

Fortunately, Li Hong didn't really go sightseeing. After listening to Li Hong's explanation, Li Zhi's face was black like the bottom of a pot, which gradually became peaceful. When Li Hong said gold, he immediately became smiling and praised the prince's wisdom and understanding.

But when someone comforted his father, he turned to look at the ministers below. He was still in the column. Now he turned his face down, but after a second thought, it was over. Since long Dad agreed, I'm afraid it would be useless to say anything else.

Moreover, the relationship between GE Xiyuan and Li Xian is relatively close. At this time, things in Chang'an are still in a mess. It's better not to punish Ge Xiyuan too much. But if you dare to point fingers at military aircraft affairs again, don't blame yourself for being rude.

The night was very deep, so after seeing Li Hong, Li Zhi waved his hand impatiently and let him go quickly. He crossed the river with him to Liujing tomorrow.

Li Hong got up early in the morning without being urged by his father. His men took over Liu Renyuan's responsibility to protect his majesty.

The Datong River of the last generation has become a river in the city of Pyongyang. It is very suitable for ships because its riverbed is very deep and the current is not turbulent.

In this era, there is no way to cross the river except for a bridge made of ropes. Therefore, if you want to transport a large army across the river, it is just as good to use the boats of the Navy.

At the same time, Li Hong also wanted to have a close contact with the water forces of the Tang Dynasty to see how their actual combat capabilities were. He could also show off the military power of the Tang Dynasty in front of Koguryo, Silla and Baiji.

In fact, in this era, the types of warships in the Tang Dynasty have been quite complete, and it is very valuable to use all the limited space without power devices to drive them.

Compared with those small boats in Japan that Cui Zhibian despised, the Tang Navy is indeed the leader of this era.

The military book of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Bei Zhi, once mentioned the strength of the navy in the early Tang Dynasty Gold drums and banners are used as the festival of advance and retreat. There are building boats, fighting ships, walking boats and Haihu in the battle. Mengchong and yacht are used to attack the submarine attack, and the clapping pole is used to attack it downstream.

For a wide variety of warships, it is very important to consider a general's ability to coordinate and command all kinds of ships. Clear responsibilities, strict discipline and coordinated division of labor are all tests of a general. Li Hong was overjoyed to see such a general emerge in the Tang Dynasty.

This time, in addition to the battleship, Zoe Ge and Haihu, there is also an attack ship wrapped in raw cowhide for its own defense, which is generally used for impact.

Thus, it can be seen that the military of the Tang Dynasty in this period was so powerful and magnificent.

Among all kinds of ships, louchuan is the most representative of the Tang Dynasty's national strength and military power. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was called Wuya warship.

The reason why the warship is equipped with five masts to assist the enemy in the battle is to set up five masts at the bottom of the ship.

As for the Tang Dynasty, which has always been proud of being on the land, the stone throwing cart and bed crossbow, which are used to attack the city, are naturally put on the Wuya warship. These two kinds of weapons for long-distance attack can be described as real killer Maces. Thus, the five tooth warship has been armed into a powerful warship that can be fought far and near.

Standing on the front deck without sails, Li Hong and Cui Zhibian chatted in a low voice. The content was not about the five tooth warship, but about the larger warship built by Li Chunfeng in Quanzhou, on the South Ridge Road.

When Cui Zhibian heard from Li Hong that the warship was half as long as the one under their feet, which was more than 50 or 60 steps long, he immediately looked at Li Hong with a look of disbelief and shock."Don't believe it. If you see that big ship, you will be a little cat at most, and have no strength to fight back." Li Hong confidently looked at Cui Zhibian's unbelievable expression and said faintly.

"Your Highness, I don't believe it. Do you know that if the warship is so big, he will lose his agility. It will be even more difficult for him to retreat in the face of many enemy ships." Cui Zhibian is about 30 years old. He can be a general with four grades. He is good enough to meet him. His water fighting ability is enough.

Li Hong glanced at him and continued, "who told you I'm going to walk away? Besides, it's still one thing whether the enemy ship can get close to the ship. When the matter is over, you can go and have a look. Take this jade pendant and compare them. "

Li Hong handed Cui Zhibian a jade pendant, put his hands behind his back, and said again, "the five tooth warship is really good, but it is only suitable for offshore operations. Do you want to go out of hundreds of nautical miles? Hey, Wang Ba, you don't have to take the initiative to hit the enemy when it comes to the sea

Cui Zhibian gave a bitter smile. His highness is telling the truth. Although these five tooth warships are large, they are not suitable for long-distance voyage. However, they are not as powerful as these warships.

In fact, Cui Zhibian can't be blamed, or even anyone else, because even after a thousand years, the Chinese did not have the courage to step out of the land and set foot on the sea to go far away. As a country that lives on land, his own character has shackled them to go out.

The reason why Li Hong built the ship was always furtive, because he was afraid that all the officials in the imperial court would obstruct themselves in various ways.

Hundreds of years later, the Ming Dynasty was able to come and go freely on the sea for a time. But was it not because of the prevalence of the idea of maritime prohibition that China was finally trapped on land for hundreds of years?

As a result, Europe's warships ran roughshod and plundered wealth on the sea. Finally, relying on their enthusiasm for the sea, they left a deep scar on the Chinese nation?

Today's Datang is still the same. They never dare to embrace the sea actively, including the coastal fishermen. Their understanding of the sea is still in the stage of subsistence. No one has ever thought about what kind of courage and wealth will be brought to this nation after overcoming the fear of the sea.

Now that Li Hong's mind has been decided, he follows Long's father to settle things in Liaodong, and then he goes to Quanzhou to meet Cui Zhibian to see what Li Chunfeng has done with his millions of liang of silver. Don't let the water float and watch the white silver sink into the sea.

By land and water, in less than half a day, 30000 troops and horses were quickly assembled on the other side of the Datong River. At this time, it was only more than 20 miles away from Liujing, the King City of Koguryo.

Just as soon as they stepped on the official road, the banners of the Tang Dynasty appeared in front of them. Behind the banners, a stream of smoke and dust rose, and nearly a thousand cavalry quickly came here.

"I'll go Liu Rengui won't miss. " Li Hong looked at it, but it didn't look like he was coming to pick up the bus.

Li Zhi didn't speak, and his crotch was a white horse without a motley color. Looking at the same kind of flying hoof in front of him at the moment, he felt impatient and eager to try.

But just as soon as he lifted his hooves, the white steed was lightly kicked by someone on his neck: "what's the matter with you? Be honest. You're not from war

As soon as Li Hong's voice fell, he saw a Golden Whip shadow in front of him: "you can kick my mount! It's not royal to have any rules. "

Li Hong leaned back and avoided the whip, which was extremely loose in strength. He turned his mouth and said, "I'm afraid it will go mad. What if I really take you out? This is filial piety. "

Liu Rengui suddenly appeared in front of Li Zhi and Li Hong. With a smile on his face, he quickly dismounted and ran to Li Zhi, dressed in a suit of armor and saluted: "Minister Liu Rengui welcomes your majesty to Koguryo King City."

"What? Has Koguryo been captured? " Li Zhi could not bear the joy in his heart and motioned to Liu Rengui to reply. His voice was filled with incredible excitement.

"Yes, your majesty, less than half a day after the king of Koguryo came to the king's city, gaozang, king of Koguryo, led all his officials to surrender, but

"But what? Now that we have surrendered, what else can't be said! Come on, there's no need to falter. "

"Yes, your majesty. The condition of Koguryo's surrender is that you, your majesty, can stop the plunder of Koguryo land by Silla and Baekje, and immediately release the Koguryo people who have taken away. " Liu Rengui said solemnly.
