Chapter 612 Water Army
After the Dujiang flood was resolved, Li Yu led the Tang army to return to Beijing.
By the time they returned to Chang'an City, it was already the end of autumn.
The end of autumn in Chang'an City is very beautiful, very beautiful, and at the same time very meaningful and lively.
Everything is like a painting.
There is the beauty of quietness in quietness, and there is beauty in liveliness in liveliness.
And Li Yu and his soldiers came back at such a season.
When they returned, the streets of Chang'an City were already full of people, and they had already learned that their Son of Heaven had destroyed Shu, although the people of Chang'an City did not have much grudge against Shu.
But being able to destroy Shu is also a very exciting thing for them.
Li Yu walked on the streets with soldiers and horses, and the people of the Tang Kingdom couldn't help but shout.
"Long live the Tang Emperor, long live the Tang Emperor......"
The people are very excited, the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and the territory of their Tang Kingdom is larger, this matter is enough for them to talk until the end of this year.
After Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others saw this situation, they were all a little tongue-smacking.
Their former son of heaven, Liu Jibang, was also very loved by the people, but Liu Jibang's love was nothing compared to Li Yu's love by the people.
Li Yu is too popular with the people.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and they seem to understand more or less why the Tang State has become so powerful in just a few years.
It is true that the weapons that Li Yu made out of the drum account for a large part, but the bigger one is that Tang Yu won the hearts of the people.
After they saw this scene, they felt more and more that it was right to follow Li Yu, because following Li Yu made their future more hopeful.
It is also time for the Chinese countries to have a monarch who can dominate the world and end the wars and unrest of these decades.
Only with stability can the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Isn't that what they want?
After walking through the long street, Li Yu returned to the palace with his ministers, and here in the palace, the civil and military officials were already waiting.
The people who attacked the Ming Kingdom have returned, and it doesn't matter whether they win or not, the important thing is that they have accomplished their purpose.
Li Yu made it to the dragon chair and divided Han Xin and others, although they were the people who surrendered to the enemy country, but because their skills were not small, Li Yu was not stingy with them, and they were given very good official positions and titles.
After being rewarded in this way, Li Yu praised those who used troops against the Ming Kingdom, of course, they would also be rewarded for their meritorious deeds.
However, as soon as Li Yu finished saying this, an official stood up.
"Holy Lord, we did let the Ming Kingdom use troops from the Song Kingdom, but this time we fought with the Ming Kingdom for the first time, and we found that there were some gaps between us and the Ming Kingdom."
After the official finished speaking, some of the others were stunned for a moment, because they all felt that this situation was unlikely.
'What does Master Zhang mean by this, our Tang Kingdom is so strong, is it not as good as the Ming Kingdom? ’
"That is, Ming Guo does have our Tang Dao, but how many can they have, and besides, do they have a Mo Dao team?"
"That's right, that's right, it's better that our Tang Kingdom is stronger, otherwise how could they withdraw their troops from the Song Kingdom?"
“………………”
The ministers of the court and the central government have a calm expression on the non-stop responsibilities of Lord Zhang, these people who are responsible for Lord Zhang are all people who have not really fought with the Ming Kingdom, so even if there is a gap, they may not be able to see it.
Therefore, only those who have really experienced it can see the problem.
Li Yu said: "Zhang Aiqing, what do you mean by the gap?" Li Yu's tone was calm, and he didn't want to be unhappy, that Lord Zhang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then told the situation: "Shengshang, here's the thing, after we started a war with the Ming Kingdom, we and the Ming Kingdom are half a catty and eight taels, but the infantry fights, or the cavalry,
We are all going to be slightly better, however, the Ming Navy is very strong, we fought with them, suffered a great loss, if we want to destroy the Ming Kingdom in the future, the Navy must be trained, otherwise don't want to destroy the Ming Kingdom. ”
The Ming State has a strong navy, so the navy has become their weapon, the navy is not good, how can you destroy the Ming Kingdom?
After Lord Zhang finished talking about the situation, everyone suddenly understood, it turned out that this Lord Zhang was not talking about infantry and cavalry, but about the navy.
And their Tang Kingdom, because they don't have much water, have never trained any naval troops, so they naturally don't have much chance of winning when they fight against the Ming Kingdom's naval army.
But they also know that if they want to destroy the Ming Kingdom, they must have a naval army.
After understanding, everyone muttered and muttered.
"Shengshang, Lord Zhang wants to say this, the minister thinks it makes sense, now that the Han Kingdom has been destroyed by us, the next thing we want to destroy is the Zhou Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom must be destroyed, and since the Ming Kingdom must be destroyed, then it is natural to train the navy."
"Yes, Holy Lord, it's time for our Tang Kingdom to train a naval army, and it must be an invincible naval army."
"If we have a naval army, we can destroy the Ming Kingdom first, and if we can destroy the Ming Kingdom first, it is much better than destroying the Zhou Kingdom."
"That's right, although the Zhou State is easy to attack, their terrain is very complicated, and it may take a little longer, but if the Ming Kingdom is a little faster."
Attacking the Zhou State, there is no need to worry that their soldiers and horses do not have an advantage, but the Zhou State can also make use of the terrain and fight some battles with them that the Tang Army is not good at, and it is not impossible to destroy the Zhou State, but it will definitely take a long time.
And once the war drags on for a long time, there may be some accidents, so if the war can be resolved quickly, they Tang Guo will still choose to end the war quickly.
In comparison, as long as they have a naval army, they will definitely be faster if they want to destroy the Ming Kingdom.
As long as they cross the Huai River, they will be able to approach Jinling City, and when they enter Jinling City, won't the Ming Kingdom be destroyed? ?
The ministers muttered, Tang Yu sat on the dragon chair and thought for a moment, what these people said is obviously very reasonable, if they want to dominate the world, the Ming Kingdom will definitely not be able to get around, since they can't get around, then the navy is indispensable.
It must cost a lot to build a navy, but fortunately, they now have money in the Tang Kingdom, and these are not a problem. After thinking about it, Li Yu nodded: "Okay, what you Aiqing said is right, if you want to destroy the Ming Kingdom, you must build a naval army, since this is the case, then build a naval army, I don't know you Aiqing, who is willing to accept the task of building a naval army, for my Tang Kingdom, to create a strong naval army?" ”
