Datang Library

Chapter 593

"Your Majesty, Japanese bandits invaded the frontier and slaughtered the people of our Tang Dynasty. The minister, Hou Junji, please fight!" As soon as he entered the Palace of Political Affairs, Hou Junji immediately bowed down and asked for a fight.

Li Er said: "Junji's heart to protect the country is very good, but my Tang navy is unable to fight. I have already sent people to recall Zhang Liang. To deal with the Japanese pirates, we still need the commander of the navy."

Hou Junji shouted: "Your Majesty, how can Zhang Liang be reliable? The last time the celestial food was robbed in the Yangtze River, it was his incompetent brother Zhang Zixiu who made a mistake. Otherwise, we would not have suffered heavy losses, and the Xuanjia army would not have been defeated." Killed."

Hearing Hou Junji's mention of the Xuanjia Army, Li Er's heart ached, but he was still clear in his heart, and he began to persuade: "Junji, Zhang Zixiu is Zhang Zixiu, and Zhang Liang is Zhang Liang, they cannot be confused."

"Your Majesty, I don't deny Zhang Liang's ability to lead troops. It's just that our Datang navy is old and its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a fisherman. So it doesn't matter who is in command now. We all need to re-train the navy. Zhang Liang is guarding Luoyang. I am determined to build an invincible navy for the Great Tang."

Hearing this, Li Er smiled, "Hahahaha, since that's the case, wouldn't it be more convenient for Zhang Liang to do things better than you, Junji?"

I……

Hou Junji was at the end of his words, so he turned his head to look at Bai Fan, this matter could only depend on Bai Fan's eloquence, Bai Fan had promised to go up the Yangtze River.

Seeing Li Er's expression, Bai Fan knew that he had actually agreed to Hou Junji's pleading in his heart, and he was just teasing his subordinates. Zhang Liang is good at leading troops, but to be a commander still needs Hou Junji. Far away, if the Datang navy wants to fight abroad, it must be the commander of the navy. In the long run, Hou Junji is the most suitable.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of the Yangtze River, all the officers and men witnessed the death of thousands of Paoze on the other side, and they were all heartbroken. The old Hou learned from the pain and saw clearly the weakness of the Datang navy, and determined to build a navy for the Tang Dynasty across the river and sea.

Compared with the Japanese pirates, the Datang naval army is nothing more than combat effectiveness, and it is not like this because of years of neglect of training. Lao Hou leads the team, and within half a year, he believes that he will be able to train a strong army that can completely torture the Japanese pirates. "

Everyone nodded in unison, Bai Fan's words made sense.

Fang Xuanling opened the mouth and said: "In short, in addition to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Japanese pirates' ships are also high-end ships from Goguryeo and Baekje. In the Sui Dynasty, fighting on the river is okay, but fighting at sea may not be an advantage.”

Bai Fan laughed loudly and said, "The Japanese pirates' broken ships are also called high-end sea ships? Compared with the ocean-going ships of my Lingnan Shipyard, they are small sampans.

The ocean shipyard at King Yue of Lingnan is extremely mature. His Majesty can decree that Prince of Lingnan, Feng Zhizun, lead a powerful naval warship to go north to Dengzhou for defense.

In the future, water battles in the Tang Dynasty will no longer be small water battles in rivers, but large-scale naval battles in the ocean. In front of our powerful naval warships, the small sampans of the Japanese pirates will be destroyed by ours if no one steps forward. The warship was crushed.

With the best warships and elite soldiers trained by the old hou, if the old hou can bring out [-] elite naval soldiers, it will be easy for us to land in the ocean and destroy the Japanese, let alone the Japanese. "

"Hahahaha, okay, in a nutshell, what I said is exactly what I want. The Japanese pirates slaughtered the people of our Tang Dynasty, so they should destroy the country and take revenge. Junji, you have seen the task. Tell everyone, how long will you be able to do it?" Li Er laughed.

Hou Junji felt ruthless in his heart, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Three years, three years the army has been completed, and I personally led the army to destroy the Japanese kingdom."

"Okay, I appointed you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Datang Navy, and I will give you three years. If you want people, you can recruit them yourself. If you want ships, you can go to Jian Zhi or the King of Yue. Construction, if there is no result in three years, you can go and be Zhang Liang's deputy."

Li Er was provoking Hou Junji. Zhang Liang was far behind Hou Junji in terms of martial arts and strategy. It would be better to kill him if Lao Hou was his deputy.

"Hou Junji takes command, ten thousand deaths!"

Everyone congratulated Hou Junji on his promotion, and Li Jing said with a smile, "Junji, there are some naval warfare strategies in a certain family, so I came back and took them."

"Thank you, pharmacist."

Li Er stopped everyone's congratulations, and reminded: "Revenge is a matter for the future. Now that the Japanese pirates are invading the border again and again, we cannot defend against them. How should we retreat? We can't just watch them loot casually, we don't have enough troops. Defend all coastlines."

"Didn't Jian Jian say earlier that Mr. Feng of Lingnan should lead a team to wipe out the Japanese pirates?"

Bai Fan shook his head and said: "The Japanese pirates are everywhere, and a navy may not be able to prevent them. This time they landed in Dengzhou. What if it is Taizhou next time? So for the time being, we may need to shrink our strength and close the country for a while.

Fishing is only allowed in coastal areas under the protection of our navy. Fishing is prohibited in other unsafe areas. The survival of fishermen is temporarily provided by the imperial court. After this year, it is time for us to fight back. "

Li Er pondered: "In that case, it is better to set up four naval camps in Dengzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Lingnan, and defend all around, so that Japanese pirates will not dare to come if they want to come."

Everyone praised the good idea, and Bai Fan also admired Li Er's military foresight. This was the joint defense strategy of the Beiyang Navy, Nanyang Navy, Fujian Navy, and Guangdong Navy in the later Qing Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling suggested: "It is a bit stretched to rely on a shipyard in Lingnan."

"Well, build two more shipyards in Dengzhou and Jiangnan. In short, you come to organize and start production as soon as possible." Li Er pointed Bai Fan.

Old Li Jing pondered and said: "This time it is the alliance between the Wa Kingdom and Baekje Goguryeo. If we can break their alliance, it will be very difficult for the pirates of the Wa Kingdom to invade our Tang Dynasty if there is no supply on the way."

The strategy of drawing salary from the bottom is naturally a brilliant solution to the problem, and everyone knows it, but it is extremely difficult to implement.

Li Er sighed: "How can I not know what the pharmacist said? Before the matter of Zhongnan Academy, the Tang Dynasty was already the enemy of the whole world. Now it is reasonable for Goguryeo and other countries to join forces. We can never go to make good friends with any country and bow our heads to win over." Bar."

That's what Li Jing mentioned, and he knew the difficulty in his heart.

At this moment, Bai Fan said, "Not necessarily. Apart from the strategy of severance, we can also let them fight on their own. I know that there is a treasure in the Wa Kingdom. If it is leaked out, let alone Baekje, Goguryeo, even our Dalai Lama. Tang people all want to snatch it."

"Oh? Jane, are you joking? Japan is poor and weak, so what kind of treasures can they have? Besides, they have treasures, and their own people will get rich not long ago, and they are still waiting for you to poke them out for us to grab?" Li Two do not believe.

Not to mention Li Er, even other people don't believe it.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Could it be a gold mine?"

Bai Fan smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you react the fastest to money, but it's not a gold mine, but a silver mine."

Everyone shook their heads in unison, "Tch! Son-in-law, we don't care about gold mines anymore, let alone silver mines? Which country doesn't have a gold mine? Besides, even if we know that there is a gold mine in Wa country, we still need to mine it. Say, it's not safe yet.

No one wants silver mines anymore. "

"What if the silver mine is huge?" Bai Fan joked.

Li Jiancheng was speechless, "Big? How big can it be?"

"As big as a mountain."

"It also depends on which mountain it is. If it's the little bumpkin in the west of the city, it won't even have enough travel expenses for our soldiers. If it's like your Zhongnan Mountain...

Uh, my son-in-law, it’s not really that big, is it? "

Hearing what Li Jiancheng said, everyone became interested. How much wealth is a silver mine as big as Zhongnan Mountain?God!
