I ran on the road for two months and passed through many beautiful places, but Xia Hongsheng didn't bother to take a second look, and ran all the way, as for Nan'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter departing from Nan'an Prefecture on a cargo ship, I spent another four or five days on the ship, and finally arrived in the Ryukyus.

It also happened to be the hottest season.

Li Chengqian's walking was a little vain, which was the result of seasickness in the past few days.

What they saw before them was a construction site in full swing, with bareback men building a port, which looked like it was already on a certain scale, and seemed to be about to reach the end stage.

Ryukyu. Yizhou in ancient times, Taiwan in the future.

Thinking about my son, he was also a member of the emoji war on "Must Tear"!

Xia Hongsheng sighed with emotion.

"Brother Sheng? Why do you sigh? Li Chengqian stepped on the ground, and immediately felt a lot better, and when he heard Xia Hongsheng sigh, he asked.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "It's hot, it's nothing." Let's go, go find the King of Hejian. ”

The three of them walked along the harbor under construction, and the place where Li Xiaogong's garrison was stationed should not be far from the harbor.

I didn't go far, and sure enough, I saw a log sticking out of the wall, which was Li Xiaogong's military camp.

The three of them were about to step forward, but they saw that the two soldiers standing guard at the door had already seen them, raised their bows and crossbows and pointed at them, and shouted loudly for them to leave, not to approach forward.

Xia Hongsheng looked at Qi Yong, Qi Yong immediately understood, took out a token, and raised it high above his head towards the soldiers guarding over there.

The guards looked at each other, and one of them ran over.

"The Marquis of Jingyang County, the right Yu Lin Wei Zhonglang will be here, and you will go and report to General Li as soon as possible!" When the man arrived, Qi Yong said to him. With that, he handed him the token.

The soldier looked at the token, then at the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "Wait a minute." ”

With that, he ran to the barracks with the token.

The three of them waited outside, and after a while, they saw Li Xiaogong hurriedly walking out of the barracks.

Xia Hongsheng immediately stepped forward with a smile, and he bowed from afar and said, "Oh, why did my uncle come out in person?" It's really a pain in the face! ”

Li Xiaogong strode to the front, and was about to laugh and speak, but suddenly saw Li Chengqian behind Xia Hongsheng, and suddenly looked surprised, and was about to salute, but Li Chengqian rushed to go first, bowed and saluted: "Nephew to see uncle!" ”

Li Xiaogong suddenly understood that Li Chengqian was unwilling to reveal his identity, and he was also seeing Xia Hongsheng's eyes towards him, so he turned to smile and said: "Hahahaha, Xia boy, this king has been waiting for you for a long time, but he is looking forward to you!" Let's go, get in and talk! ”

Li Xiaogong took Xia Hongsheng and the three into the camp, entered the military tent, and then bowed down and saluted: "Minister, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Uncle don't want to be like this, my nephew's current surname is Wang Ziqian, and he is just a businessman who travels with Brother Sheng." Li Chengqian said to Li Xiaogong with a smile: "My nephew came out this time, because my father asked my nephew to meet the real people and people with Xiahou and learn how Xiahou does things. The father specially instructed his nephew to forget the identity of the prince for the time being. ”

"I see!" Li Xiaogong nodded, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move...... Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has high hopes for His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be disappointed! ”

"Thank you uncle for your teachings, but if your uncle calls him his nephew's name, why bother with it." Li Chengqian said to Li Xiaogong: "My nephew sees that this big port is about to be completed, and it is bigger than the port I saw in Quanzhou when my nephew came over!" ”

"Hehe, this is just a commercial port, you haven't seen a military port yet!" Li Xiaogong smiled mysteriously and said, "You just crossed the sea here, rest first, and the king of tomorrow will take you to see the military port!" ”

After that, he looked at Xia Hongsheng again and said, "Xia boy, you are here, and this king is much more down-to-earth in his heart. Your Majesty has ordered this king to assist you, train sailors, and train an amphibious force. It is not clear in this spy report, and none of the clouds and fog taught by this king understand it, so he knows that it is an army that can fight on the water and on the ground. Can't all of our Datang soldiers be able to do it? Even if you are seasick, if you take the boat a few times, you will be fine, and you still need to practice deliberately? ”

"Hehe, uncle, the amphibious force was born for amphibious operations. This time, His Majesty sent his little nephew to help his uncle train two armies that could be used for amphibious operations on land and sea, and the little nephew called them the Marine Corps and the Army Naval Corps respectively. Xia Hongsheng explained to Li Xiaogong: "If you want to talk about this thing, you have to talk about the army and navy, land and naval battles. As the name suggests, the army is an army that fights on land, and the navy is naturally a team that fights at sea. ”

"Then the land war is the battlefield on land, and the naval battle is the battlefield on the sea." Li Chengqian said.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "That's right." Land warfare, its characteristics, the skills required, the way of fighting, the generals' strategies, etc., are all self-contained, and our experience in Datang is incomparably rich, needless to say. However, fighting on the water is far inferior to fighting on land. The way of fighting at sea is sometimes very far from fighting on land. In order to become proficient in naval warfare, it is first necessary to separate the navy from the army and make it an independent and specialized branch of the armed forces. Train in a completely maritime manner to become a professional navy. But sometimes the navy needs to land, and sometimes the army needs to go into the water, and most of the time, the two have to cooperate with each other. This requires us to have an army that is proficient in both land and sea warfare. This is the Amphibious Forces. Amphibious warfare, on the other hand, is a form of warfare in which the navy and logistics are mainly used to throw one's own military forces, such as the army or marines, into the enemy's shore from the sea, or to move military forces from one's own shore to other places. Amphibious operations are very complex and require mobility, air support, maritime transportation, logistics, and strategy, and they can make strategic deployments that are unfavorable to the enemy and force him to transfer forces, effectively surprise and strike at enemy forces, and can play a role in turning the tide of war. Uncle, Your Majesty has noticed the value of maritime merchants, and this time the little nephew has also been tasked with collecting nautical charts. In the future, I am afraid that there will be more and more places where the Tang Dynasty will use the water division, in fact, His Majesty has already made a plan, if it attacks Liaodong, it will be mainly arranged by the water division, supplemented by the army. The task of the little nephew is to help his uncle train the first professional navy of our Datang. Open a way for the Datang Navy in the future! ”

"What does the virtuous nephew mean is that from now on, our Datang sailors will become a separate army like a military force on land?!" Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up: "Okay! In this way, Datang's army has a division between an army and a navy, each with its own specialization and expertise, good! (To be continued.) )
