In any case, safety is always the most important, only when the safety protection is in place, people can play better and happier, especially when swimming in the water, we must do a good job of safety protection measures, otherwise, it is easy to drown a serious tragedy.

Although Li Ang can swim, this does not guarantee absolute safety, for his own life, it is more reliable to wear a life jacket, and the four white foxes can't swim, so they should wear a life jacket.

There are special small wooden boats and wooden oars on the beach, which are specially prepared by his subordinates for Li An's play, if you soak enough in the sea, you can lie on the small wooden boat to bask in the sun, and if you have enough sun, you can also turn over and go swimming in the sea.

There is more than one small wooden boat, there is a large one, there is also a small one, the large one can accommodate a dozen people, the small one can accommodate up to three or five people, the large one has a gazebo and cabin, and the small one is in the open air.

Leisure and play will make people happy, will make people fully intoxicated with life, of course, if you are leisure all day long without achievement and money, then that life will not be easy, people must have achievements, there must be something that can prove themselves, and Ang Lee obviously has it.

Although Ang Lee has fun all day long, it seems that he is not doing his job, but Ang Lee's achievements are incomparable to everyone, if there is no Ang Lee, the Tang Empire is still a cold weapon power, and there is absolutely no strength to penetrate the power into the Arabian Peninsula, it is only because of Ang Lee's efforts that the Tang Dynasty has become so powerful, all of which is the credit of Ang Lee.

Therefore, even if Ang Lee doesn't do anything, no one dares to say that Ang Lee doesn't do his job, because although many ants are busy every day, they are all blind and have not made much contribution to the Tang Empire.

In any era, the most important thing to judge whether a person is working hard is how great the person's achievements are, not how busy he is.

The busiest must be the coolies, they work non-stop every day, pay a lot of sweat, and look like they are working very hard, but in fact, their achievements are very small, it can be said to be insignificant, and some people, who seem to be doing nothing, but their achievements and income are much higher than these coolies.

Therefore, if there is a person who says that a coolie is not hard enough, lazy, and unmotivated, you must not be surprised, you will not feel that the coolie is industrious every day, and the results of their labor may be very small, and some seemingly lazy people, his labor efficiency may be very high, and it is absolutely impossible to determine whether a person is working hard or not by whether it seems to be hard, and the busyness without a clue is sometimes a kind of laziness, and it is too lazy to make changes, which is the most hopeless laziness.

Ang Lee has such a high achievement and such a high income, he is a typical successful person, even if he has fun every day, he cannot be said to be lazy, and those who work every day and work very hard but can't even support themselves are the real lazy.

It is said that hard work can get rich, as long as you can get rich hard, you can get rich to show that you are hardworking, if you don't succeed in getting rich, how do you prove your hard work, every day you are busy but you can't even support yourself, this can also be called hard work, of course you can't, only get rich can prove that you are hardworking, this is the standard of the new era, has been recognized by many people.

People like to make excuses for themselves, when they encounter difficulties and failures, the first thing they think of is the difficulties and difficulties they encounter, lament the injustice of God, and then give up on themselves to do coolies, when they are tired, they smoke a cigarette and drink a glass of wine, and after a big sleep, they continue to work the next day.

Such a busy life, there is not much income at all, it can be described as pitiful, such income in the future life, it is impossible to buy a place to live in the city where you live, it is quite pitiful and pathetic.

However, if you analyze it from another angle, you will find that achievement is a competitive relationship, such as the emperor, there can only be one empire, you become the emperor, and the rest of the people are doomed to not be able to be.

The people of the world are a pyramid structure, in fact, no matter how hard you try, there can always be only a few people standing at the top, and the vast majority of people can only be at the bottom, and such a society is the most stable.

Therefore, in order to be able to stand at the top, you must keep working hard and trample others under your feet, so that you can rise up.

This process must be very difficult, the average person may not be able to bear the pressure, so they give up, of course, there are also people with poor talents, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to achieve good results, can only be a coolie.

Ang Lee's situation is relatively special, and he has knowledge that people in this era do not have, so he can easily achieve great achievements, while many people in this era can only work hard as a coolie, which is not comparable at all.

Of course, the world needs a genius like Ang Lee, and at the same time, it also needs a lot of hard work, otherwise, the world is not complete.

After going ashore, a henchman ran over, it seemed that he had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and it was estimated that there was something important to report, if there was no important matter, he would not be in such a hurry.

"Li Shilang."

The subordinates saluted respectfully.

Li An looked at his subordinates and asked, "What is the important thing that makes you rush like this?" ”

"Li Shilang, the man we sent to find the Ottomans has returned."

The subordinate replied.

Li An was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter, things are not going well, and the Ottomans refuse to send labor to help us dig the canal?" ”

The subordinate took a breath and said: "It's not that he refuses, it's that there is not enough manpower to help us, since we have our support, the Ottoman does not take the small Spanish court in his eyes, he wants to divide Egypt and be the sultan himself, but the small Spanish court is unwilling, and sent some troops to attack the Ottomans, although they were thwarted by the Ottomans, but the Ottomans were very angry, and mobilized a large number of troops and laborers in Egypt, preparing to go on an expedition to Spain and overthrow the small Spanish court, so, Naturally, there is not enough labor to help us repair the canal, but fortunately, the war on the Altic side is over, and it can provide us with a certain amount of manpower, otherwise, it will be really difficult to start the canal. ”

When Li An heard this, he frowned slightly, he really didn't expect that the Ottomans would actually fight with the small Spanish court, and moreover, they would organize an expeditionary force to attack Spain, such a large-scale operation would inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources, making it difficult for the Ottomans to draw enough manpower to support Li An's canal construction, and this was very unfavorable for Li An to build the Tang Canal, that is, the Ottoman large-scale military operation was completely inconsistent with the interests of the Tang Empire.

Since the Ottoman military action is not in the interests of the Tang Empire, then Li Ang must express his opposition, and it is still a very strong opposition, and the Ottoman must not be allowed to go further and further down the wrong path.

No matter from which point of view, the Ottoman expedition to Spain was not in the interests of the Tang Empire, not only because the construction of the Tang Canal required the help of the Ottomans in manpower and material resources, but also because if the Ottoman group captured Spain, its power would develop greatly, thus becoming a large country with a vast area, and the existence of such a big country must not be in line with the interests of the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire must strongly oppose it.

Although this is a provocation by the small Spanish court, and the Ottomans sent troops only in revenge, but the Ottoman was originally a general of the small Spanish court after all, and now he rebelled as a sultan and was attacked by the small Spanish court, it is not surprising that the attack of the small Spanish court should be regarded as a counterinsurgency nature, there is nothing unreasonable, and the Ottoman action is the wrong behavior, a kind of rebellion.

"The Ottomans are actually going on an expedition to Spain, what else does he want to do, do he want to rebel?"

Li An said very unhappily.

The subordinate said: "Li Shilang, this Ottoman is very ambitious, after occupying Egypt, he divided his troops into three routes, all the way to the south, all the way to the west, and all the way to the southwest. ”

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, this guy Ottoman is too arrogant, he is not satisfied with getting the whole of Egypt, and he wants a bigger territory, even Spain in the northwest of the Mediterranean, this is absolutely not good, the Ottoman must be stopped, he cannot be allowed to continue to develop, absolutely not, by the way, how many men and horses did the Ottomans gather in Egypt and when will they go on an expedition to Egypt." ”

The subordinate replied, "There are about 100,000 horses!" Among them, there were 60,000 troops, and the rest were people who supported the army, in fact, more men and horses could be gathered, but because the Ottomans refused to give up the expansion of the other three routes, so this expedition could only gather so many troops. ”

Starting from Egypt, the best direction for expansion on the African continent is only the west and south, the land near the Mediterranean coast in the west is a good place, and the south can expand along the Nile, this line is suitable for farming, the land of fish and rice, however, these two lines are relatively slender, and the slender land is obviously very unfavorable to rule, only the land with flat terrain and round terrain is the most suitable for rule, the more responsible the terrain is the more difficult to rule, as for the overseas land is even more difficult to rule.

The Ottomans were obviously also aware of this problem, so after the southward and westward expeditions, they also sent a road to the southwest to make their territory more mellow and not too thin, but this road was destined to be difficult to walk, and the army in the southwest direction would inevitably encounter the great desert, and it was still a very large desert, and it was obviously very difficult to cross the desert to rule the land south of the desert, and at the same time, it could also reflect how big the Ottoman ambitions were.

For the benefit of the Tang Empire, Ang Lee must stop the Ottoman plan, and must not allow the Ottomans to obtain such a vast land, let alone allow the Ottomans to occupy Spain in the western Mediterranean, which must not be allowed.

"I was going to rest for a few days, but now I am afraid that it is impossible, I must do my best to stop the Ottoman expedition, not only to prevent him from conquering Spain, but also to establish a buffer state between them, so as to completely separate the two regimes and weaken their power."

Li An said.

The subordinates hurriedly said: "Li Shilang, just let your subordinates do this little thing, where do you need to go and ask in person." ”

Li An opened his mouth and said, "A small thing? Is this a trifle? This is a big matter, how can it be said that it is a small matter, the officer must personally go and inquire about it, in order to show the importance of this matter, but it is a pity that the canal has not been excavated, and our fleet cannot enter the Mediterranean, if it is a detour, it will be too far, it seems that we can only go by land, and we need to prepare a lot of vehicles. ”

"Li Shilang personally went to Egypt to persuade Osman, which is too much to give him face, Osman is just a martial artist, where can he compare with Li Shilang."

His subordinates expressed their contempt for the Ottomans.

"I want to go to Spain instead of Egypt. It's just that the boats can't pass, so it seems that if you want to go smoothly, you need to rent a lot of boats! ”

Li An said.

Take the land to Egypt, in fact, it is not far, the opposite of the canal city is Egypt, even if it is the capital of the Ottomans, it is at most three or five hundred miles away from the canal city, if the speed is faster, it can be reached in one or two days, but if you go to Spain by land, it is very far, and you still need to take a boat to enter Spain to the westernmost side, it is better to take a boat when you are in Egypt, so that the pressure on logistics can be less.

The problem here is that Ang Lee's fleet cannot enter the Mediterranean, if you want to take the sea route, you must lease the Ottoman fleet, and Ang Lee's travel scale is very large, and you need to rent a lot of ships, and these ships must be oars and sails, very backward, far inferior to the ships in Ang Lee's fleet.

Not only is the comfort greatly reduced, but the safety is also very questionable, just a large number of sailors is enough for a headache, after all, it is impossible for Ang Lee to make up so many sailors at once, and he must rent sailors under the command of the Ottomans, which naturally has safety concerns.

It would be nice if Ang Lee's fleet could enter the Mediterranean, but unfortunately the canal has not been excavated, in ancient times, there was a fleet over the mountain, but in that case, the distance from the land is not very far, and the distance from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea is too far, if you want to pull the fleet over, it is simply impossible, no amount of butter is enough, besides, Ang Lee's fleet is full of big ships, these big ships are much larger than the ships in the story of the fleet over the mountain, and it is impossible for manpower to pull it on land.
