Datang Nongwang

Chapter 926

All the soldiers of the Xiang family who came with Li Chongyuan from the capital boarded the ship.

Those who stayed on Xisha Island also boarded the boat.

When the five super armored paddle steamers move, the movement can definitely scare people to death.

Seventy paddle steamers, ranging from A to C, were requisitioned by the court.

Only there is no such super-A paddle steamer.

And Xisha Island also built five super-A paddle steamers. Li Chongyuan once strictly ordered that once the super-A paddle steamers were built, they would sail away without even trying to sail.

It was also because of an instruction from Li Chongyuan, otherwise, this super-A paddle steamer might already be in Laizhou.

1000 people dispersed onto the ship.

Li Chongyuan came last.

When Li Chongyuan boarded the boat, Xing Ba nodded lightly to Li Chongyuan.

From Xing Ba's nod, Li Chongyuan knew that Xing Ba had already thought of everything for Li Chongyuan without his ordering from Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan asked, "How many Tie Leizi are there?"

"Back to Mr. Xiaolang, there are five hundred pieces." Xingba replied.

Li Chongyuan weighed it in his heart, felt that it was almost the same, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

Five hundred iron thunders are enough for Li Chongyuan to use as a backup.

This time.

Li Chongyuan went to Laizhou to save people for his two aunts.

And who is Zhang Liang?

He is the Duke of Yun, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Now, under Li Shimin's will, Zhang Liang is appointed as the general manager of the Canghai Road March, managing military affairs and other matters, and is responsible for transporting a large number of soldiers and various materials to Yingzhou.

Even, it also undertakes the raid mission.

But now.

But Zhang Liang arrested Li Chongyuan's two aunts.

These two aunts of Li Chongyuan, not to mention that they were not soldiers, they just traveled with the ship because the imperial court confiscated Li Chongyuan's ship.

Why did Zhang Liang arrest Li Chongyuan?

When Li Chongyuan heard it, he was not angry.

This fire is so big that even the Tie Leizi has prepared [-] pieces, just in case it is needed.

Li Chongyuan can go to today.

If there were no two aunts of his own, it might be difficult for the shipyard on Xisha Island to mass-produce large ships.

Not enough money.

A type A paddle steamer costs [-] guns.

Up to now, as many as 26 Type A paddle steamers have been built, and the cost is calculated to be 260 million.

Not to mention there are B-type paddle steamers, C-type paddle steamers, and D-type paddle steamers built in Xixiang.

The cost of a super-A paddle steamer has already reached 50 guan.

50 guan, such an astronomical amount of money has to be distributed. According to Li Chongyuan’s previous financial resources, even if there is still 100 million guan in the basement of Yuanzhuang, even if Li Chongyuan has Yingbin Building, various restaurants, and various industries, But I can't stand playing like this.

It was also because of Chen Juan and the others who took ships to the southern waters to rob pirates from time to time.

There is money to keep the shipyard running.

And now.

If his God of Wealth was captured, he would probably be angry if he put it on anyone's body.

It is two thousand miles from Xisha Island to Laizhou.

No matter how far away Li Chongyuan was, no matter how calm the sea was, and even more no matter whether Zhang Liang was the Duke of the State or the Duke of the County, he rushed to Laizhou with one order.

Five super-A paddle steamers set off from Xisha Island.

Whether it was a cargo ship or other ships that came down from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and planned to go to Lingnan, they all stopped to watch when they saw such a huge paddle steamer.

All the people who saw the super-A paddle steamer all lamented the financial resources of Junwang Li and the capability of the shipyard.

Idea for a ship?

Someone must have had such an idea in their mind.

but.

When they heard that those who had thought about Xisha Island had all disappeared, they immediately calmed down.

even.

They also heard.

Those gentry also had the idea of ​​Xisha Island, but the final result was still the same as before, and the personnel disappeared.

As for no one's idea of ​​Xisha Island, they don't know.

But Li Chongyuan knew that there were still many.

But no matter how many, there is no return.

Although there is no forbidden army on Xisha Island, there are many soldiers of the Xiang family who have never left and have been guarding the safety of Xisha Island.

Li Chongyuan had given orders, and even Li Yuan had given orders.

Anyone who dares to attack Xisha Island will end up in Shenhai.

The Feng family in Lingnan had previously sent people to discuss the idea of ​​Xisha Island, but in the end, they never went back.

As for the Feng family in Lingnan, they had sent several groups of people over, and it was the same in the end.

even.

Feng Zhi was planted until now, and the Feng family has been looking for it, and even making preparations to deal with the imperial court's blow to the Feng family.

Li Chongyuan had no time to pay attention to how the Feng family was doing.

Anyway, Feng Zhizai had been handed over to Li Shimin, and Li Chongyuan didn't want to get involved in this matter.

As for how Li Shimin would treat the Feng family, that was Li Shimin's business. Li Chongyuan only wanted to guarantee his cultivation base in Qiongdao.

As long as the Feng family doesn't brazenly extend their hands to their territory, Li Chongyuan can ignore the Feng family's actions.

As for the people sent by the Feng family to Suzhou to obtain the secrets of the shipyard, apart from sinking into the sea, it is impossible for Li Chongyuan to take these people and kill them to Lingnan.

Only if the main figures of the Feng family arrived at Xisha Island, would Li Chongyuan have the chance to do anything.

Supermax paddle steamers are fast.

It's almost time for others to suspect that their boat is a turtle, and the paddle steamer that can no longer see the shadow of the boat is the real boat.

The distance of two thousand miles seems very far.

But it's not that far off.

Under Li Chongyuan's order, the five super-A paddle steamers sailed at the highest speed.

After a distance of two thousand miles, after one day and one night, and two hours later, I finally saw Laizhou Port.

but.

It was already the middle of the afternoon application time.

After a day and a night of fast sailing, Laizhou Port is just around the corner.

After being notified, Li Chongyuan walked out of the cabin, came to the bow, and looked at the Laizhou Port in the distance.

Above the sea surface of Laizhou Port.

Countless ships are parked.

Li Chongyuan took a general look, and besides the paddle steamer he had confiscated by the court, there were at least a thousand ships.

Most of these thousands of ships are warships, accounting for at least [-]%.

but.

According to Li Chongyuan's guess.

It is impossible for the imperial court to have only so few military ships in this expedition.

The sea surface of the port is only so small, and the rest may have already set off, or even crossed the Bohai Sea, and arrived in the Yingzhou area.

after all.

Laizhou Port is not far from the Liaohe River where Yingzhou is located, only less than [-] miles away.

The distance is eight hundred miles, and the order to march east has already been issued, and he, Zhang Liang, was already in Laizhou as early as last year.

Li Chongyuan estimated that the number of military ships or other ships used by the imperial court in this expedition was at least [-].

Grain and grass are the main things.

Traveling by sea is much more convenient than traveling by water, and it also carries a lot of load, so there is no need to use more civilians.

When five super armored paddle ships appeared on the sea.

The soldiers on Laizhou Port have already discovered it.

"General, there is an unknown ship at sea." The scout urgently reported to his superior.

The boss didn't know, so he quickly walked out of the tent outside the port and looked towards the sea, "Why is there a ship at this time. Could it be a ship from Goguryeo?"

The boss who didn't know why, after watching for a while, immediately galloped on his horse and headed for Laizhou City.

It won't be long before he rushes to Laizhou City.

Five super-A paddle steamers were less than five miles away from the port.

The soldiers at the port were all on alert.

but.

When they saw that the style of the ship was very similar to the ships requisitioned from Xisha Island some time ago, their guard was relaxed a lot.

Although it was the second time they had seen such a paddle steamer.

However, the seventy paddle steamers requisitioned from Xisha Island are still parked on the sea not far away, and such unusual style ships can be seen every day.

Now, five ships that were the same as the paddle steamer they had seen suddenly appeared from the sea level, and they were not so curious.

Even this tension is too loose.

for a moment.

The super-A paddle steamer arrived not far from the port.

When the officers and men at the port saw that the ship was bigger than what they had seen some time ago, they were all amazed, and even stood at the port, pointing fingers.

And those folk husbands and others are even more so.

"Who is here!" General Ichiro shouted to the ship while guarding the port.

Li Chongyuan stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the port officers and civilians, and did not answer.

Tang Li at the side, seeing the other party yelling, and seeing that Li Chongyuan remained silent, immediately replied on behalf of Li Chongyuan, "The King of Xisha County of the Tang Dynasty."

When the general at the port heard that Li Chongyuan was coming, he immediately asked all the soldiers to put down their vigilance.

He can give such an order.

It is also because of the paddle steamer.

Because this Lang will know that Li Chongyuan's Xisha Island has paddle boats, and they cannot be seen in other places, and it is impossible for others to own them, let alone raise Gouli.

Soon.

Zhang Liang rode his horse from Laizhou City to the port. Seeing five such huge paddle steamers in front of him, he swallowed hard, his eyes full of greed.

"Li Shande, come to Laizhou at this time, are you sending a boat for this general?" Zhang Liang on the shore, looking at Li Chongyuan standing on the bow of the boat, shouted loudly when the boat began to dock.

A word about Li Shande sounds like he, Li Chongyuan, has an irresistible relationship with him, Zhang Liang.

Can be practical.

Li Chongyuan and Zhang Liang are not close, and it can even be said that the two have little intersection.

Li Chongyuan was familiar with Zhang Liang.

heard.

Zhang Liang was born in a poor family. He used to be a farmer for a living. He participated in the Wagang Uprising.

On the recommendation of Fang Xuanling, he entered the Prince Qin's Mansion as a chariot general.

After entering Luoyang, he recruited private parties and was convicted and sent to prison, but refused to confess.

After Li Shimin came to power, he was granted the title of governor of Huaizhou and the Duke of Changping County.

He used to be a doctor of imperial history, Guangluqing and other positions. Until last year, he was awarded the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and participated in the government.

As for him, Zhang Liang, being able to take up the position of the general manager of the Canghai Road March, it is said that Li Shimin did not specially assign him, but he begged him to come.

The reason.

It's because Li Shimin said last year that he wanted to conquer the East. He Zhang Liang wrote countless books and opposed the Eastern Expedition, but Li Shimin rejected them all.

to this end.

Zhang Liang knew that he could not stop the Eastern Expedition, so he invited him to go out with the army, and Li Shimin gave him the post of general manager of the Canghai Road March.

Li Chongyuan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, heard Zhang Liang call himself Li Shande, and sneered in his heart, "Duke Yun, I heard that you invited yourself to go on an expedition to Goguryeo. The king of this county admires you very much."

got off the boat.

Tang Li and the others carried an iron thunderbolt on their bodies, and Li Chongyuan was on the left and right side.

This is especially true for the two who practice the Eightfold Path.

He stared at Zhang Liang and the people around Zhang Liang.

"Li Shande, your ship is really big. I have never seen such a big ship in my life. It is really amazing. If I could have such a big ship, whether it is transporting food or grass, it would be by sea. It doesn’t matter if you fight, you can definitely scare those Goguryeo people to death.” Zhang Liang didn’t seem to care about Li Chongyuan at all, his eyes were fixed on Li Chongyuan’s super-A paddle steamer without stopping.

even.

Li Chongyuan could also see greed in his eyes.

Li Chongyuan didn't know what Zhang Liang's plan was, and continued to sneer in his heart, "Yun Guogong, the king of this county came to Laizhou this time to see my people off. I don't know if I can invite them out and let me Meet them."

The purpose of Li Chongyuan's visit was not to see Zhang Liang envious of his paddle steamer, but to save people.

It's not easy to turn your face, you have to make excuses.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liang looked at Li Chongyuan and smiled.

"Shande, you are late, they have already set off for Yingzhou." Zhang Liang opened his eyes and said nonsense.

My own paddle steamer is still at sea, how could my own people set off.

Li Chongyuan pointed to the [-] paddle steamers parked on the sea, "Back then, I had reached a consensus with the Holy Majesty. If the imperial court requisitioned my ships, my people would have to manage the ships, and others would not be included. My people left the ship and set off, which violated the consensus I reached with the Holy One back then."

"Ah, Shande, now is the time of the great war. You may not understand the formation of troops, but the Holy Majesty has personally commanded the conquest. Besides, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the ship. It's my Datang's ship anyway. . Shande, don’t worry, I won’t damage these ships. Even if I do, I will pay you in the end.” Zhang Liang continued to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

Li Chongyuan understood.

He Zhang Liang is going to seize his boat.

And this time, it was [-] ships, and even people didn't know what happened.

Just now, when Li Chongyuan and the others entered the port, they saw that there were not a single person from Qingfeng Village on the [-] paddle steamers parked on the sea, and they saw quite a few soldiers.

How could Li Chongyuan not understand at this time, Zhang Liang probably didn't take Li Chongyuan seriously at all, and brought up the Eastern Expedition to suppress Li Chongyuan, even Li Shimin.

but.

Li Chongyuan didn't follow him, his expression changed, and he looked at Tang Li and the others.

When Tang Li and Liu Xiang saw Li Chongyuan looking at them, they rushed straight to Zhang Liang without saying a word.

moment.

Zhang Liang was taken down by Tang Li and others who had been prepared for a long time.

"Li Chongyuan, what do you want to do!" Zhang Liang was resentful when Li Chongyuan's men suddenly captured him.

Be it Zhang Liang's personal soldiers or those few followers, seeing Li Chongyuan's sudden attack, he thought Li Chongyuan was just joking.

But when he came back to his senses, Tang Li and others also took Zhang Liang's followers.

moment.

Both sides are at war.

The soldiers who were still staring at the ship curiously also surrounded Li Chongyuan and others with their soldiers.

Li Chongyuan ignored those soldiers, his eyes glared angrily, "Zhang Liang, I warn you, the boat belongs to the king of this county, and the people belong to the king of this county. If there is something wrong with the people and the boat of the king of this county, the king of this county will kill you!"
