Datang Longya

Chapter 721 Iron Rooster Zhang Liang

Although this word is not elegant, it is very popular among generals.After all, compared to their open mouth being "mother" and closing their mouth being "father", such a vocabulary is really not too much.

The flag bearer returned the signal with a strange expression. The phrase "dung" is not in the common semaphore, and thanks to his experience, he was able to send out this signal.

Seeing the signal from the flag bearer, Zhang Liang picked up the binoculars again to admire the majestic appearance of the Pioneer.

"grandma's"

After searching his guts, Zhang Liang could only utter such a sigh.

After taking over the current ship, he felt more and more that the sea ship he used before was a washboard.During this period of time, he was invincible in the waters of Datang with his new-style ships. All merchant ships passing by must stop, lower their sails, drop anchor, and then undergo inspection.

In the past, this could only be a fantasy.

Because, sometimes when they meet a large merchant ship, they don't even dare to get too close, for fear that they will overturn their ship.

In this way, don't mention how depressed you are.

After such a transformation, Zhang Liang was full of gratitude to Leng Feng.It was Leng Feng who helped the East China Sea Navy completely become the overlord of the East China Sea.

And now, in just one year, they have to update their equipment again.
Looking at the ferocious Pioneer floating on the sea, Zhang Liang couldn't help imagining the scene where the giant thorns on its hull were covered with enemy corpses.

"Damn, Tie Kuai is actually floating on the surface of the sea! Duke Hu Guo is simply amazing!"

Zhang Liang suddenly had a feeling that he was being taken care of by Leng Feng.He and the soldiers under his command only need to use it, and the equipment has its own cold front to help upgrade it.

The Pioneer and the East China Sea Fleet merged together, and when interacting with Zhang Liang's command ship, a cable became a channel connecting the two ships.

With the help of this rope, Zhang Liang and his two subordinates crawled over, watching Leng Jing eager to try.

Leng Feng slapped his son's illusion with a slap, and went to meet Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang cupped his hands: "Duke Protector, are you here all right?"

Leng Feng laughed and said: "It's a big illness, it's a life saved!"

Only then did Zhang Liang realize his aphasia, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Leng Feng didn't care, and led Zhang Liang to the captain's room of the Pioneer.

For Zhang Liang, Leng Feng was still very grateful.He didn't know until he returned to Chang'an that after he disappeared, Zhang Liang led the soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet to abandon the ship and go ashore to find him. He even defied the emperor's order to retreat and searched for him in the barren mountains for three days.

Leng Feng naturally had to keep such friendship in his heart.

After taking his seat, Zhang Liang looked at the layout around the captain's room and said with emotion: "When I heard you talk about iron-clad ships before, I thought that iron-clad wood like the current ships would be the limit. A battleship built. By the way, why don’t you have sails on your ship?”

Leng Feng pointed to the captain's console and said, "There is a mechanism there. As long as you flip the mechanism, the power of the steam engine at the stern will be transmitted to the propeller. This big thing is powered by the wind, but it's not enough."

Zhang Liang drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said with great interest, "How about the various parts of the Pioneer, please guide me?"

Leng Feng naturally agreed.

After looking at the structure of each part of the Pioneer, Zhang Liang couldn't help feeling: "It's really complicated! It seems that it will take us a long time to get used to this ship!"

People at sea have a problem, that is, they are unwilling to change ships at any time.If the Pioneer was not so desirable, Zhang Liang would definitely not be willing to abandon his perfect iron-clad ship.

Running in with the ship is a long job, especially for Zhang Liang, the captain, who needs to have the entire ship in his mind in order to give orders better.

After watching the Pioneer, the fleet had also docked and jumped ashore. Zhang Liang commanded three iron-clad warships to sail into the dock, ready to be dismantled.

Although the imperial decree told them to prepare to sell the old boat to Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Liang, as a shrewd man, knew what he should do without the emperor's specific words.

The boat is for others, so Datang still has credibility.However, the eight-ox crossbows and trebuchets carried on the ship did not say that they would be packaged and sold to others!These are the secrets of the army, so they have to be dismantled.

Seeing the craftsmen dismantling the ordnance on the ship in full swing, Leng Feng couldn't help but said to Zhang Liang: "You can just dismantle the eight-ox crossbow, why did you even dismantle the sails?"

Zhang Liang looked at his men transporting the sails to the shore, and said aggrievedly: "Heavenly conscience, I packed the sails with my own money, the materials used are the best, and the tung oil is all painted from a century-old brand. Give it to outsiders like this!"

Looking at the appearance of Zhang Liang's iron cock, Leng Feng was speechless
The ships of the East China Sea Fleet belong to Zhang Liang, and it stands to reason that he can't interfere. Since Zhang Liang doesn't want to part with his sails, let's dismantle them!

For a whole afternoon, Zhang Liang was relieved to follow Leng Feng to the banquet after all the pots and pans were removed from the ship's kitchen.

People who are used to seeing seafood at sea are disgusted by seafood, so the kitchen thoughtfully prepared a table of fresh seasonal vegetables for Zhang Liang. There is no need to deal with them. Just a bowl of sauce is enough for Zhang Liang to eat to his heart's content.

After killing ten green vegetable burritos, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Leng Feng: "Your Majesty ordered to prepare the boat for that man named Zhang Zhongjian, but he didn't say the time, and he wrote a secret letter asking me to prepare it." Pick up the leak, what do you mean?"

Leng Feng rolled up his cake and said with a smile: "It means literally, Zhang Zhongjian used to be the ruler of Fuyu Kingdom. To put it bluntly, he was the leader of the pirates who occupied that piece of island.

He will not be reconciled to being defeated by the fleets of Wa and Goryeo.I guess, besides asking for a ship, he will also ask our Datang to send troops to help him. "

Zhang Liang approached Leng Feng and said in a low voice, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? A pirate offered some gold and silver as a bribe and asked to send troops, and he agreed?"

Leng Feng frowned and said, "Idiot, do you think that the emperor is so shrewd that he would send troops just because of some property? Even if Zhang Zhongjian didn't ask, the emperor would send you troops.

To put it bluntly, since the establishment of the East China Sea Fleet, it has been acting as the watchdog of the Tang Dynasty, and has not undergone a formal battle at all.Only after the baptism of blood and fire can your East China Sea Fleet truly reassure the emperor. "

Zhang Liangliang nodded, as if he had realized something.

Leng Feng took a bite of the burrito and turned to look east.

In fact, there is another reason - Yuan Gai Su Wen!

An ambitious man like Li Shimin would never allow Koryo, which has fallen, to have an influential person outside.

As long as he is the superior of the enemy country, he will either die or be locked up by him.Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to sleep well.
