Datang Longya

Chapter 615 Departure
Leng Feng remained silent. Although the battleship in front of him was fierce, it was only lined with iron sheets in some key places.But after changing to the power of a steam engine, it can become an iron plate material.

Wrapping a layer of iron sheet or directly using iron plate, which is more fierce, needless to say!

As the ship sailed back, Leng Feng ordered the shipyard not to rest and continue to remodel the warship.

It wasn't until the first month that the entire fleet, a total of fifteen ships, was completely remodeled.It's just that the sea water has frozen, and although the last few ships have been built, they cannot be launched.

This was a perfect victory for the Gongshu family and other craftsmen. On the day the project was completed, Leng Feng ordered them to be rewarded with five gold coins each.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the sea water to melt in the spring!"

Zhang Liang took a deep breath, he had never been as confident in himself as he is today.With the help of fifteen of the world's top ships, he doesn't feel that there are any terrible enemies in this world.

During this period of time, he had been discussing with Leng Feng the landing route, and he also led the soldiers to simulate a few rapid marches with the Dragon Tooth Army.

Cangyan City is terrible, but Zhang Liang believes that his soldiers can eat this city.

"Secretary work must be done well. Dengzhou and Korea are only separated by a piece of sea. We only have one chance to attack. We can't fail because of leaking information. Only when we occupy Cangyan City can Datang completely free its hands and feet to attack. Yuan Gai Suwen, if we miss, we have to re-draw up the strategy here, which will delay a lot of things!"

Zhang Liangliang nodded. Although the soldiers were imprisoned in the barracks during the New Year last year, the soldiers did not complain.

Conquer Goryeo!What a chance to earn credit!

After the routine inspection of the military camp, Leng Feng went back to the tent to check the reply letter from Chang'an.

Li Shimin did not issue an imperial edict, but wrote a private letter, which was full of fantasies about himself going back to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the whole letter seemed inconsistent.Knowing this guy's mind, an emperor has pinned him down in the palace for 11 years.Now that he finally got the chance to conquer in person, it is estimated that two layers of his Tianzi sword will be worn off by him!
Du Ruhui's reply was an official document, which used cipher text to introduce in detail the upcoming deployment of the Tang Dynasty's troops, and also proposed to Leng Feng the time to formally attack Cangyan City.Li Shimin arranged him as the right servant of the Ministry of War, but in fact he was the "Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War".

Originally Li Shimin felt that Leng Feng could not concentrate on being Minister of the Ministry of War, and planned to let Du Ruhui and Leng Feng take turns to do it, but he did not expect that Leng Feng would be very suitable for the work of Minister of the Ministry of War, except for resigning due to business, he was not impatient at all.

Li Tai also wrote a reply in pinyin.The sealing of the rubber exceeded his expectations, and after he prepared the frame, the steam engine pushed a small millstone for a long time in just the first experiment.

Next, what he wants to study is how to increase the efficiency of the steam engine.

It was the first time in the old veteran Li’s reply that he refuted Leng Feng’s order. They did not understand why the Leng family had to come forward to contract the construction of roads between the major cities of the Tang Dynasty, or to pave the roads across mountains and ridges as flat as possible, and take as much land as possible. straight.

What they couldn't understand the most was why small pieces of sand and gravel were used as the roadbed, the bottom was paved with good wood, and two rails made of [-]-year-old steel were installed.

Such a project would be extremely difficult to do with the Leng family's wealth, and the family could not support it, so they could only rely on the annual profits to fill this bottomless pit little by little.

Leng Feng couldn't tell them directly that after the steam engine was developed, the train would replace the Hongling Express and become the fastest land transportation method.Datang's business is thriving, grasping the key of transportation, the Leng family will not have to worry about food and drink for at least hundreds of years.

After writing a letter and strongly demanding that they do what they said, Leng Feng opened Leng Jing's reply letter.

He left this letter at the end, in order to take a good look at how this kid wrote it.

Leng Jing is very smart, he started to learn to write when he was four years old, now he can write letters by himself, Leng Feng is not surprised.

When I opened the letter, the letter paper was full of vernacular words, but the handwriting was not bad.

In the letter, I expressed how I, my mother, and my sister missed my father, and hoped that my father could come home early.

Leng Feng put away the letter and took up a pen to write a reply to Leng Jing.

"Silly boy, your father and I have to do my duty. Generally speaking, the country is more important between countries. Don't worry, Dad should be able to go back before the Chinese New Year this year."

There is no huge gap between him and Leng Jing in this era between father and son. He has always put his son in a similar position to himself.

This time Datang aimed at Goryeo with the mentality that he was determined to win. Judging from the fact that Jing Leisi suddenly started working overnight, Li Shimin wanted to use all his foundations to defeat the enemy once and for all.

With the help of gunpowder weapons, it is impossible for Datang to fail against Goryeo. It only takes about a year to defeat Goryeo's main force, and the finishing work after that has nothing to do with Leng Feng.

After writing the reply, Leng Feng stepped out of the tent and went for a walk in the snow.

Just wait for spring!

The sea freezes quickly and goes away quickly. When the fishermen in the distance began to shout "Open the sea!" In less than ten days, most of the ice floes on the sea disappeared, and the remaining pieces were broken. It cannot affect the advance of the fleet.

Time to go!

Following Leng Feng's order, more than 6000 soldiers began to board the ship, moving supplies and inspecting the hull in an orderly manner.

Gunpowder weapons with six times the base number can only be assembled under the condition of being transported by ships.

After the inspection, fifteen ferocious warships headed for Koryo under the south wind at sea.

It wasn't until the battleship disappeared from sight that Zhou Jiao released the ban on fishermen going to sea.I don't know if the wreckage of the Korean Navy's hull will float to Dengzhou?

The soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army were all from the Central Plains, and many of them got seasick when they got on the boat. Even Li Erniu, who was the most physically fit, carefully avoided the sharp thorns on the side of the boat and vomited into the sea.

Shame!No matter what, Leng Feng never thought that this group of guys would be seasick.

Seeing that Li Erniu and others were seasick, the officers and men of the East China Sea Navy couldn't help laughing in good faith.

What's the matter with the fighting power, it's going to reveal two things when we get on the boat!

For the Dragon Tooth Army, the Donghai Navy admired them. In the raid training, even the best soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army could beat them by several miles.

You know, the load of the Dragon Tooth Army is twice as heavy as theirs!
Only Wan Zhu and Huang Zerui in the Dragon Tooth Army were not affected by the waves at all, and even dared to tie a rope around their waists and jump into the sea to catch sea fish.

It is the tradition of the Dragon Tooth Army to relax as much as possible before the battle.

Until the horizon was seen from a distance, the relaxed atmosphere of the Dragon Tooth Army disappeared in an instant.Li Erniu, who was lying on the side of the boat complaining bitterly just now, immediately stood up straight. If it weren't for his pale face, no one would have believed that this guy was still seasick just a moment ago.
