Chapter 544

Li Chunfeng looks at Li Hong and confirms his opinion. However, if this happens, it is still far from the minimum goal of his and Cui Zhibian. Originally, according to their plan, at least seven identical giant ships should be built.

If there are seven giant ships, at least three of them are berthed in docks for renovation, and four are cruising at sea, protecting the safety of commercial ships and fishermen in the Tang Dynasty.

But now the prince's words have completely strangled their hopes in the cradle, leaving no chance to stay, which has made their originally well-off coastal defense plan extremely difficult.

Moreover, if Li Chunfeng wants to go abroad, he can't do it with only one giant ship, and at least two of them are required to cruise together. Therefore, there are only three left for Datang to use, and only two are left to cruise on the sea for a long time.

Naturally, Li Hong knew what they were thinking. He said with a smile, "sometimes it's not necessary to cruise on the sea every day to frighten those foreign countries who have a grudge against our Tang Dynasty. As long as we seize an opportunity and completely wipe them out, they will not dare to come back to our Datang coastal area and do whatever they want. In this way, you will open your huge ship again Go to his house and beat him up. In this way, ha ha, do you think they will get close to my Datang sea area? "

"But in this way, your highness will do harm to the benevolence and virtue of the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid that in the end, all countries will only be afraid of our Tang Dynasty and have no respect for it." Cui Zhibian knows that the strategy executor of his highness will naturally fall on himself, if not as expected.

But in this way, I don't say whether I will be impeached by my colleagues in the court. I'm afraid that the foreign envoys will constantly complain to the Tang Dynasty and his majesty. At that time, the prince will be in trouble and under pressure.

What's more, his majesty now has the meaning of Zen position. In this aspect, should the prince's Royal Highness take the gentle policy as the main policy, supplemented by military expedition and deterrence.

Li Hong once again said with a smile, "no respect? Do you think that with a broad mind, you can make the four barbarians respect me in the Tang Dynasty? If so, why did Japan send envoys every year, hoping to send students to study in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time harass the coastal people of China? Where is the respect of Japan to the Tang Dynasty? "

"This is not because you have not allowed students from Japan to study in our Tang Dynasty in recent years." Cui Zhibian lowered his head and muttered.

"Even if I open the door and let them come to study, I can't change their ambitious character! I'll tell you that the first thing you need to do in two days is to drive a huge ship to Japan to make a show. If you can't get back 10 million taels of silver, you'll keep circling around Japan until they've collected 10 million taels of silver, and you'll come back again. " Li Hong angrily put down his teacup and said in a cold voice, "what's more, how did our ship sink? Do you know Cui Zhibian? If we have the nautical charts of Japan in recent years, and know where the hidden reefs on the sea to Japan are distributed, would we be silent to exchange for self-made charts? It is said that let Datang, let me follow the etiquette of benevolence and virtue, but the Japanese are even stingy with a set of charts, so why should I teach them the knowledge of Datang? If you want to learn, it's still that sentence. A student can send as many as one thousand taels of silver regardless of food and housing. "

Li Hong's angry words made Cui Zhibian speechless and bowed his head to stop talking. Of course, he knew that the prince's highness was telling the truth, and he also understood the prince's practice. But now that the prince is at a critical moment, he should not make enemies everywhere.

Internal and external troubles ensued. If this continued, Cui Zhibian was afraid that the crown prince would miss the whole plan and lose everything.

"Don't be angry, your highness. Brother Cui is loyal to you, but I'm afraid that at this time, if you can't bear it, you'll make a lot of plans and be afraid of you..." Li Chongyi saw that the atmosphere was a little dull because Li Hong reprimanded Cui Zhibian, so he said to the audience.

"If you can't bear it, you'll make a big plan? You have been tolerated, shackled by this sentence, how can I really let the Tang Dynasty worship? It's because of this nonsense. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. How many excellent fighters have been delayed and how many excellent opportunities have been delayed to flatten the land of other countries? One by one shortsighted, really think that the sea on the wealth of a few fish? If it's just a few fish, I'll sit by the West Lake to raise fish. I'll fight for the sea Li Hong shook off Bai Chun's comforting hand and continued to say in a cold voice.

"Cui Zhibian, you are the only official commander of the navy in Tang Dynasty after Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun. How prosperous the maritime trade is, no less than the huge business opportunities of Hexi Corridor and Anxi, which is called the silk road. Do you have any idea about the value of the trade goods transported by sea every year in Dengzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou? How many imported goods are transported to China's Tang Dynasty every year, and how many goods from the port are sold to other countries? Have you ever calculated the sum of the money? If the coastal waters and open seas surrounding our Datang are controlled by our Datang, and each channel is cruised by our Datang ships, how much wealth will be added? With the accumulation of wealth, not to mention anything else, I can trim out a fairy palace for the West Lake at my gate! Hangzhou's people living in dire straits can also live a prosperous and healthy life because of the Tang Dynasty. If you go on like this, you will always be a frog at the bottom of a well. Sooner or later, your strong boats and guns will hit our land! "At this time, Cui Zhibian was no longer frowning. Even Li Chongyi, Li Chunfeng, and Bai Chun all looked calm and obedient.

After a brief silence in the tea room, Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhibian dare not speak at this time, while Bai Chun is smart because of Li Hong's anger. Naturally, she dares not speak at will when She nestles on one side.

Only Li Chongyi squeezed out a smile on his face and said dryly: "Your Highness, please don't be angry. What you're talking about is a question that I have never thought about. For a moment, I can't make a decision. But I believe that your highness is determined not for himself, but for the generations of the Tang Dynasty. I admire him. As your highness said, I have no fear of respect. I deeply agree with you. I will bear in mind that your highness reprimanded me today. "

"Your Highness, I am short-sighted and true. What your highness said today has awakened my heart and made me understand where I should stand on the sea. In the past two years, I had the honor to see Dashi merchants landing in Datang from Guangzhou. I had already recognized that they were powerful on the sea, but I did not go to my heart. I thought that as long as the iron horse of Tang Dynasty was strong, he would not dare to think highly of our Tang Dynasty. Now I think it is too simple. " Cui Zhibian got up in good faith and saluted Li Hong with a heavy voice.

Li Chunfeng also sighed and said with a heavy voice: "what your highness said is very true. If it was not the stingy state of Japan, I would not silence a huge ship because of the distance to Japan. If we can get the chart of Japan, all four of our sunken ships will go to the South, and even may really go to the continent you mentioned."

"It's early. If you want to get there, you can't get down for three or five months at the speed of today's sailing boat and the unfamiliar waterway. But it's not urgent to say that it's not urgent. There's a kind of rubber tree there, which is necessary for further improvement of the air ball. So in a few days, you can set off. Two giant ships are under your full command. This trip, Li Chunfeng If you want people to give you money, I will give you my full support! " Li Hong took over Cui Zhibian's tea and said faintly.

"Thank you very much, your highness. But now there are five giant ships, and two of them are installed in Quanzhou shipyard. I'm afraid it will take some time." Li Chunfeng said regretfully.

"Isn't that easy? You and Cui Zhibian lead one ship and go to Japan to ask for the transportation expenses and compensation. When you come back to Quanzhou, do you think the two ships can also leave the dock? At that time, Cui Zhibian will be renovated for two months, and then he will continue to go south. " Li Hong found that after being reprimanded by himself, the brains of these people became a little dull because of their anger.

Li Chongyi and Bai Chun laugh when they hear Li Hong's words that they want to go to Japan to ask for some money for the road fare. However, Cui Zhibian and Li Chunfeng seem embarrassed.

There is no doubt that what the prince said is the same as that of the bandits. Although this is the reason, because the Japanese made the Tang Dynasty silence a huge ship in vain. It is time to ask for some money, but don't be so straightforward, OK?

Just like everyone's formality when they go to the market for the first time to do business, there is a trace of embarrassment on both the heart and the face before the first call out, which makes it difficult to open up.

But when he summoned up the courage to shout out the first call, then, this man really entered the market, integrated into the market, and became a qualified peddler.

But now, Cui Zhibian and Li Chunfeng, like the first time into the market ready to yell, almost call out the first voice.

So you see me, I see you, both see the prince's Highness from each other's eyes, this is "forcing a good man into a prostitute"! But what can we do? The prince's highness said that the reason is this reason, but it's just a little ugly.

Think of the Pirates of Japan, who rob and plunder the wealth and fishermen of the coastal people of the Tang Dynasty from time to time, and come to them in person to ask for some money. Can't they not give it?

If you don't give it, just as the prince said, he will drive around the Japanese until he gives the money and comes back.
