The powerful always get things that ordinary people don't even think about, such as high-tech products like airships.

The old guy Du Ruhui's military department book was not in vain, and he got Li Zhi a ticket to board the airship with a slip. Of course, this matter needs to be reported to the eldest grandson. The son was worried about his father, who was thousands of miles away and cut people, and this undeniable reason moved the eldest grandson very much.

The Tang Dynasty was founded on filial piety, and Li Zhi's actions were well received by the courtiers. The two strong brothers are even more supportive. In their opinion, except for the fact that he was born to the eldest grandson, Li Zhi basically did not have the qualifications to compete for the throne. Li Zhi went to the front line to please his father, which is always more acceptable than his opponent.

In this way, Li Zhi got on the airship to Liaodong, and Datang was the first prince of such a young age to take the airship.

When Li Zhi was still in the sky, Li Er made the decision to withdraw the army. He's like a boxing champion right now, and he can't find a single opponent in the ring. used illness as bait to test his son, but unexpectedly Li Chengqian, who was the crown prince, did not make any actual moves despite the wide friendship during this time.

This made all the responses prepared by Li Er come to naught, and at some times Li Er even hoped that Li Chengqian would take action. The feeling of punching inside the cotton is uncomfortable no matter what.

Li Daoyan had already repaired the railway to Yingzhou, and the withdrawal of the army naturally went to Yingzhou to assemble. As a descendant, Zuo Wuwei, of course, took the train to the west as the first team. The rest of the expeditionary force could only wait for wagons.

Li Er did not follow the team back to Yingzhou, but took an airship to the mouth of the Yalu River. The Liaodong Naval Division of the Tang Dynasty was docked there, and Li Er wanted to see with his own eyes this Liaodong Naval Division, which had killed more than 70,000 warriors of the Wa Kingdom. At the same time, let's take a look at what the ocean is all about.

Li Er, who was born in Guanzhong, has a very low understanding of the ocean. To this day, he still feels that the unequaled iron hoof is the king of dominating the world. To some extent, Li II is right, because according to the normal course of history. The Tang Dynasty was the era of cavalry, and cavalry had an unparalleled advantage in this era.

But Yun Hao forcibly elevated Datang's scientific and technological process, and the direct consequence was that Li Er's logic was confused.

The cavalry, who thought they were invincible, could not compete with the power of firearms at all. On that full moon night, countless Goryeo dead soldiers frantically urged their war horses to rush towards the Tang army camp. But because of the presence of mines, the shocking Goryeo cavalry turned into a pile of minced meat.

Advancing under artillery fire is actually extremely difficult. Even if you pay heavy casualties, it is difficult to break through that fire net. Grenades thrown by trebuchets and soldiers exploded to form walls of metal. As long as it hits this wall, both people and horses can only hate the spot. The power of hatred is great, but it is not as hard as metal.

After reading the battle report, Li Er was silent for a long time. Personal bravery is likely to withdraw from the battlefield, and it will be difficult for Datang to produce a fierce general like Wei Chi Gong again. More are the kind of talents who are familiar with firearms from Lishan Academy. They can accurately calculate where the trebuchet will land, and they even know how to get the most out of their gunpowder bullets.

This is something that the traditional Tang generals can't do anyway, and the thinking of these people is still stuck in the era of cold weapons. Bravery, horizontal swords, lances and iron will are the things they trust the most!

The Liaodong Naval Division is the army with the most firearms and equipment in the Tang Dynasty, and it is such an army that almost bloodlessly killed the 70,000 troops of the Japanese State. I have to say, this is a remarkable record. Because the total strength of the Liaodong Naval Division was only more than 13,000 people, and the officers and men who participated in the battle were only a few hundred on two ships.

With hundreds against 70,000, this is more shocking than Yun Hao's 130,000 against 100,000 under the city of Anshi.

Li Er wants to see this sailor with his own eyes, and by the way, he also understands the sea. Yun Hao always said that the sea could provide a great deal of wealth to the empire. But Li Er's current understanding of the ocean is still stuck on huge crabs, black sea cucumbers and lobsters with two big pincers.

The airship hovered above the Zhenhai, and Li Er and Yun Hao were seated in a gondola and were carried to the deck. Although Yun Hao had a deep grudge in his heart, there were not many opportunities to live and die with the emperor. followed Li Er to the hanging basket!

The wind on the sea was a beautiful mess, and since the rain had passed, there had been no wind on the sea as it had been for the past few days. The gondola landed very slowly, and Yun Hao almost fell asleep comfortably.

On the deck, Liu Renliang had already assembled all the officers and soldiers to welcome the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor. For these big-headed soldiers, the opportunity to see the emperor in a lifetime may be just like this. Just this time, it was enough for them to brag about their fathers and neighbors for a lifetime.

"I want to see Your Majesty back then, then ......!"

"All the officers and men of the Zhenhai ship, meet Your Majesty! I wish my emperor a long life! Liu Renliang took the lead, and all the crew knelt down.

"Sons and daughters have worked hard!" Li Er's majestic voice comes with a megaphone. Not only could it be heard clearly on the entire deck, but even the officers and men on the Dinghai who accompanied the voyage could hear it clearly.

Yun Hao admired Li Er's skill very much, and if he wanted the sound to spread more than thirty meters in the sea, Yun Hao had to rely on roaring. Li Er didn't seem to be hoarse, could it be that he had practiced tenor?

"Long live our emperor! Hooray! ”

"Get up!" Li Er waved his hand casually, and the sailors dared to get up from the deck. Dressed in brand-new linen clothes, they stood neatly and awaited His Majesty's review.

Li Er knew how to boost morale very well, and walked in front of the soldiers with a powerful official step.

Yun Hao always believed that Li Er's interest in ships was greater than that of people. This kind of military parade of several hundred people is too small for him. When the expeditionary force was assembled, he had read it with 200,000 people. This kind of small scene could not arouse the interest of the emperor.

Sure enough, after the parade ended. Li Er urged Liu Renliang to take him to see the most advanced warship in the world!

In the loud noise, Liu Renliang introduced the working principle of the boiler and steam engine to Li Er. Li Er has never seen a boat sail without sails, but such a big ship does not sail without sails, and Li Er has really never seen it.

Look east and west, no matter where you look, it's fresh. The watertight compartment should be touched, and the ammunition compartment should be touched. Even the cabins where people live, you have to go in and take a look.

"Why do you want cats on board?" For the crew's cabin, there is something that should not be there. Li Er, who has always been strict in governing the army, immediately darkened his face. For him, this is a serious misconduct.

"Back to Your Majesty, it will be a month to sail out to sea as soon as you go out to sea. Inevitably, there will be rats mixed up on the boat, and cats can help catch mice. Your Majesty, you may not know that the ship's worst enemy is the rat. Rats grind their teeth and gnaw wood everywhere, and once they nibble a hole in the boat, it will be troublesome.

In addition, when sailing at sea, people are most afraid of epidemics. Rats carry the disease, and once it is passed on to the crew, the soldiers will be the disaster of the whole ship. So keep a few cats and mice on board! Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, Liu Renliang hurriedly stammered an explanation.

"Oh, I see." Li Er nodded, forgiving his ignorance.

When I walked to the deck, I saw the soldier brushing the eight ox crossbows with tung oil. I can't help but stop and watch!

"Your Majesty, the air on the sea is humid. In many cases, the sun is poisonous, and once the eight-bull crossbow is eroded by the moisture of the seawater, it will crack when exposed to the sun. Therefore, it is necessary to brush tung oil. Liu Renliang saw that the emperor was interested, and hurriedly explained.

"Oh! So so, what if it rains on the sea? Li Er asked with interest.

Seeing the emperor's question, Liu Renliang immediately organized soldiers. The soldiers brought wooden planks and quickly built a small house like a building block in the socket. Shaking the rocker arm in the small house, it can actually make the small house rotate 360 degrees without dead ends, which makes Li Er feel very novel. After shaking it a few times in person, this is considered a stop.

Li Er is like a child, wandering around the boat and asking about everything.

Finally came to the restaurant, Li Er had a new understanding of the luxury of the water army. The restaurant is open twelve hours a day, and the variety of meals is very rich.

The fist-sized apple tastes sweet and sour. There are also citrus fruits that are only available in the south, which Li Er does not often eat in Guanzhong. Huge shrimp, giant crabs. There are also huge fish, as long as they swim in the water, there are them here. And the size can only be described as huge!

Li Er looked at the big fish and meat on his plate, as well as a few huge shrimps. Yun Hao, on the other side, was peeling off a crab about the size of his head. The cream inside is so steamed that it can lift the lid!

Look at the soldiers' dining table, the little cabbage fish ball soup. A large plate of bean sprouts, and even Li Er found pickles. His Majesty the Emperor is angry, where are the soldiers eating bran vegetables, the truth that the emperor has big fish and meat. At Li Er's insistence, Liu Renliang had to distribute the big fish and meat to the soldiers, and then bring over the materials. chose to turn a blind eye to the resentful eyes of the soldiers.

Yun Hao, who was helpless, could only accompany His Majesty the Emperor to nibble on vegetable leaves, and Li Er still had the face to say that it was delicious. How precious is the damn sea green, do you know that seafood is a good thing, and the soldiers have long been tired of eating it. You see, eating prawns one by one is sad, and eating big mackerel is like taking medicine.

Li Er didn't care about this, he thought it would be good for him to share weal and woe with the soldiers.

After two days of wandering on the sea, Li Er gained a new understanding of the ocean. At least in this calm weather, Li Er was still seasick.

The king of land can't suffer seasickness when he arrives on the ship. Li Er, who already has high blood pressure, is now suffering from a splitting headache. This time, he was really sick. Originally, Li Er planned to take his two powerful warships and run to the waters of the Wa Kingdom to show off his might. It's all in the soup now! Fortunately, Dengzhou is ahead, and Li Er will get better soon when he goes ashore in Dengzhou.

When the ship arrived in Dengzhou, His Majesty the Emperor stepped off the ship with a pale face. No matter how flat the road is, His Majesty the Emperor is a little shaky when he walks. Yun Hao knew that this was the sequelae of seasickness. Li Er, who had never been adrift at sea for such a long time, was considered to have survived on the ground.

When they got off the boat in Dengzhou, Yun Hao and Li Er saw two acquaintances. One is the disappeared eldest grandson Wuji, and the other is actually Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

Little people are very good at getting into trouble, at least his uncle Eldest Sun Wuji seems to like him very much. In front of Li Er, he praised King Jin for his benevolence and filial piety. Li Er was very happy, and Li Zhi's fief was exempted from money and grain for another three years.

Knowing that Li Er and Eldest Sun Wuji, two good friends, had something to say, Yun Hao hurriedly retired. There is a house of the Yun family in Dengzhou, and now go home and take a bath comfortably. And then it is true that I slept beautifully, as the commander of the first army in Liaodong, I haven't slept well a few times. In the military, there's always all sorts of fucking fucking stuff. Yun Hao swore that he would never bring any fucking soldiers in the future.

As soon as Yun Hao left, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty! When the minister returned to Chang'an this time, the Baiqi Division secretly reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met with various gate valves every day. Among them, there are many people who are loyal to him, and the prince is noncommittal but does not take any further action.

The king of Wei locked himself in the palace all day long, and no one was seen. is wholeheartedly compiling the "Chronicles of the Kuodi", but the King of Jin is worried about His Majesty's safety. After the queen agreed, the minister brought the king of Jin to Dengzhou to meet with my emperor. ”

"The crown prince didn't try to transfer the marquis back to Chang'an?" Li Er finally asked the question he was most concerned about. This time, he just wanted to test how bold Li Chengqian was.

"Two days ago, the crown prince convened a meeting of several officials of the East Palace in the East Palace. The content of the meeting is unknown, because only Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and others participated in the meeting! The minister really can't force them to confess, and I hope that His Majesty will punish him. After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with the sleeves of his robe.

"Get up! It's not yours, my sons, whose fault it is. He inherited my ambition, but he did not inherit my courage and ability. But well, the faint-hearted usually don't make much mistakes. Li Er said with satisfaction.

"These people are very tight-mouthed, and the Hundred Horsemen dare not torture them without His Majesty's explanation, so ......"

"So what?" Li Er turned around and asked fiercely.

"So the minister thinks that this matter can only be seen if His Majesty does it himself."

"I know! A secret message will be given to them today! Li Er said helplessly. He believed that with his dominance, those little minions would never dare to disobey him.

This thing is a good thing, and there are secret things in the world. It's usually with secret wills!

The eldest grandson Wuji let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that Li Er did not plan to poison the tiger.

"After two days in Dengzhou, I will take a look at the Liaodong Naval Division. Then let's catch the train back to Chang'an City! "I heard that no one in Chang'an was doing anything, so Li Er was relieved. The army is always outside, and there is no way to win people's hearts, and Yun Hao is the right heart in this paragraph.
