Ji Tang

Chapter 1022
The matter was urgent, and Ji Song didn't have much time to delay. The next day, he took people to the weapons prison and pulled away hundreds of carts of supplies in front of the prisoner's tearful expression.When the Ordnance Supervisor Temple came to Li Shimin, looking at the rows of supplies above, even he felt a physical pain.

But thinking about the fact that Datang must be foolproof in this naval battle, this not only affects Datang's future attitude towards the sea, but also if he fails, even he will have to give up his investment in the navy.After all, the court invested huge sums of money every year, and if the Navy failed to win, it would inevitably attract criticism, and even he would have to postpone his march into the ocean.

In addition, the court had a lot of opinions on the family's entry into the sea. Once this naval battle was defeated, it would mean that the Tang Dynasty completely lost control of the family's entry into the sea.Therefore, this battle cannot be lost no matter what!
"Let him go!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Go and ask him what else he needs. As long as it is available in the Tang Dynasty, just take it. My only requirement is that this battle must be won, and it must be a great victory, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty will be fully demonstrated. Let Da Shi not dare to look around!"

Yan Liben was stunned when he heard this. When did the emperor become so generous?Those materials are all the heritage of the Tang Dynasty. They usually give them to the generals, but that time they were not given to them for a fee?Now you get whatever you want?
When did the generals of the Tang Dynasty have such great power?

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of explaining, he wisely did not ask.

In fact, he also understood that Ji Song was different from other generals.This Duke of Tang Dynasty, who grew up under the emperor's nose, can be regarded as the emperor's true direct descendant. A marquis who lives apart from the world already explains a lot of problems.

Ji Song, the Duke of the State of Xi, has lived up to expectations in recent years, conquering Mobei in the north, Xuanzhou in the south, and Goguryeo in the east. He has overcome obstacles for the Tang Dynasty many times and made great military exploits.In addition to the cultural and political aspects, it can be regarded as rare in the world.

Watching Yan Liben leave, Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, then looked at the list of supplies on the paper, and suddenly felt a pain in his body.

"This kid, if you dare to lose the battle, let's see how I deal with you."

In Wuying Pavilion, when Ji Song came in, Li Jing and others were arguing fiercely.Since the expedition was decided that day, the few of them started strategic deductions, hoping to give Ji Song as much help as possible.

"No, why won't they have reinforcements after you? According to the distance, they are much closer than us. Once they find something wrong, it is entirely possible for them to mobilize troops from the country. What will you do with that kid then?"

"This naval battle is related to our Tang Dynasty's future grand strategy, and we must not make any mistakes. Therefore, we must form follow-up reinforcements before then. If the situation goes against us, we can quickly move to the battlefield."

Li Jing still acted with determination, hoping to take all uncertain factors into consideration.

"What Duke Wei said is true, but I know something about naval warfare. There are three major natural enemies on the vast sea. One is natural disaster. A dragon sucking water is enough to kill everyone in the sea. The other is disease. But this is With my experience of the Tang Dynasty's voyage navy fleet, it's nothing. The three are directions. Anything can happen on the sea, fog, special areas. Once you lose your way on the sea, it's too late."

"Therefore, I suggest that we recruit scholars from the academy who are familiar with astrology to accompany us to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Everyone was thoughtful about Zhang Liang's words. Even Cheng Yaojin, who had never dealt with him very well, nodded and said: "Old Zhang is right. After all, we are not familiar with maritime warfare. Let's wait and see what Ji Song said when he comes." Say it!"

"Actually, Mr. Zhang said a little less!"

At this moment, Ji Song's voice came over!

"What else? I would like to ask for advice!"

Zhang Liang disagreed with Ji Song's words. Ji Song was not the first to ask for a fight this time. He would fight no matter what.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be anxious!"

Ji Song smiled, cupped his fists at everyone and said, "Thank you all, Song!"

Li Jing waved his hand, he knew what Ji Song was thanking, it was nothing more than organizing the expedition for him.

"Stop saying these words. This battle is of great significance to our Datang. Once we lose, our Datang's maritime territory will never have peace. By then, your prediction back then will probably come true."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they suddenly remembered what Ji Song said when he was about to send a long-distance naval fleet.

They didn't take it seriously at the time, but when Dashi, a country that was not inferior to the Tang Dynasty, appeared and faced each other on the sea, they finally woke up.

Fortunately, the navy of the Tang Dynasty has changed over the years after years of development. If it was still the navy that could only fight in inland rivers, now I am afraid that instead of fighting decisively at sea, it will have to wait until others come to fight. Bar!

"Yeah, who would have thought that Dashi, who has always had nothing to do with our Tang Dynasty, would suddenly show his fangs!"

After Ji Song sighed with emotion, he said to Zhang Liang: "You are right on all three points, but there is one thing you didn't say."

Without waiting for Zhang Liang to speak, he said: "That's a warship. When fighting on the sea, it depends on whose ship is bigger and who can fight farther. The sea is not land, and there are not so many places for you to move around. Once you meet, Only one side falls completely."

"Faster travel speed, longer attack distance, and stronger warships are the magic weapon for winning naval battles. Think about it, if we can hit others and others can't hit me, no matter how many they have All the ships can only become living targets. At a faster speed, when the time comes, I can fight if I want and leave if I want. They can only look at the ocean and sigh. If there is any disagreement with a strong warship, we will all perish together. As long as my ship It’s strong enough. If a ship hits it, either you or I will die.”

"So, naval battles are fought with courage, fought with comprehensive national strength, and fought with momentum!"

"I, Ji Song, have no shortage of courage, and I also believe that I, the Tang Dynasty, have no shortage of soldiers. In terms of national strength, who can I, the Tang Dynasty, be afraid of? Momentum? Haha!"

Although Ji Song didn't say it in the end, everyone knew it in their hearts. Throughout the years, Ji Song had never lost to anyone in terms of momentum.

Wasn't the Dugu family very good back then?Who dares to offend a family that is even protected by the Supreme Emperor?

But how did this person do it?At the gate of the palace, he will be thrown to death like a sandbag.At that time, they were all covered in cold sweat after hearing this. This man was simply a evil star.

When Goguryeo was fighting, it was one against five, and Yang Wanli was beaten so hard that he fled in panic.

"So, what do you want?"

Li Jing finally realized that this kid was not here to ask for help at all.That's right, people now need people and money, but there really isn't anything they can do to help.

"Hey, I still can't hide it from you!"

Ji Song chuckled, causing everyone to roll their eyes.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you guys to be more careful when the kid causes any trouble."

"Harm, what do you think is going on? That's it?"

Zhang Liang said without waiting for Ji Song to finish, "Just go and fight. As long as you can win the battle, the other old men and others will take care of it for you."

Ji Song was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

Zhang Liang stroked his beard and looked optimistic about you. He didn't notice the strange looks in Li Jing's and others' eyes at all!
"Ha, what, if nothing happens, I'll leave first, you guys are busy!"

After saying that, Ji left quickly without any delay!

"Eh? Why are you looking at me like that?"

When Ji Song left and Zhang Liang looked back and wanted to say something, he saw everyone looking at him strangely.

"Oh, it's nothing. I see that your body is still strong. If His Majesty blames you, it will be easy for you to carry me and others. Not bad, not bad!"

Li Jing patted Zhang Liang's shoulder and said something meaningful.

"Well, I thank you too. Okay, I have something to do at home, let's go!"

Zhang Liang was stunned. When he saw Niu Jinda looking at him silently and about to leave, he couldn't help but pulled him and asked: "Lao Niu, you are the most honest among these people, but you should tell your brother Just tell the truth!" "Count forward, didn't that kid get into a lot of trouble when he went out? Are you going to carry it for him? Can you handle it?"

"Just a reminder, brother, go back and take good care of yourself. Don't be unable to bear the beatings from His Majesty!"

After saying that, he threw away Zhang Liang's stupid face and walked out quickly.

"Jisong, you bastard cheated on me again."

Ji Song took out his ears after walking out of the palace. His ears had been itching since he left Wuying Pavilion. The old man said that someone was thinking about him.

"Huh, who told me that I don't have much else in my life, but only a lot of noble people? Lao Zhang, what a good person!"

Yes, Zhang Liang was given the good guy card. He had no idea what kind of blame he would take on Ji Song this time.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and today was also the day Ji Song set out.

He didn't bring many people with him this time. After all, it was a maritime battle. Even if he brought all the elites from Chang'an, it wouldn't work!

Outside the east gate, Ji Song led hundreds of personal guards.Other personnel have packed up their supplies and taken the waterway to Dengzhou in advance, where the Beihai Navy will transport them to Mingzhou, which is also the fastest route.

"Ziyi, we are going to be in danger of war, so you must take care of yourself!"

Li Chengqian led dozens of officials to see off Ji Song outside Chang'an City. The emperor originally wanted to come in person, but unfortunately he suffered from the cold last night, so he had no choice but to ask the prince to come to see him off.

After all, Ji Song is the majestic Duke of Xie, and it is a major event for him to go on an expedition. No one with weight can explain it.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, as young as the young ones, wherever my master Wang goes, he will definitely put down the rebellious officials and traitors."

No matter what the facts are, you must not lose in terms of momentum on the day of the expedition. Fighting is fought with momentum. If the coach is not confident, how much fighting spirit do you expect the soldiers under him to have?
"Ziyi is relieved to lead the troops, but the battlefield is dangerous after all, and swords have no eyes. I hope you put the overall situation first and never make any mistakes."

After speaking, he took a step forward and whispered in Ji Song's ear: "No matter what, I hope you return safely. Apart from that, nothing else matters!"

"Okay, let's not talk too much. Let's drink this wine to wish the Duke of Nie on his triumphant return!"

Ji Song's face moved slightly. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved when he heard Li Chengqian's words, but if he couldn't win, how could he have the face to come back?

"I will live up to His Highness's trust!"

bang~
After finishing the bowl of wine, he glanced at his father-in-law, his wife, children, and children who came to let him go by the roadside, then he resolutely turned around on his horse and galloped away!

"Husband."

"Take back your tears. Ziyi is here to fight for the country. It is his responsibility, and it is also the honor of your Ji family. As the mistress of the Ji family, what is the demeanor of crying?"

Xie Lian frowned and scolded.

"Okay, stop showing off your authority, you know nothing about my daughter's family!"

Mrs. Zhang slapped her husband and said angrily.

"Hmph, a woman's opinion!"

Xie Lian thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say. He could only roll down his sleeves and pretend he didn't hear it.

"Grandpa, do you think my father will be in danger?"

Ji Ze suddenly asked.

"Ok?"

Xie Lian was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said: "Your father is a powerful general in our Tang Dynasty. Although he looks like a weak scholar, once he goes to the battlefield, even the most ferocious enemy will tremble."

"So, just keep your heart in your stomach and nothing will happen!"

"Uh-huh!"

Ji Ze's eyes brightened, and he nodded quickly, as if to cheer himself up, and said firmly: "Daddy has never let us down!"

When Li Chengqian returned to the Taiji Hall, he saw his father processing the memorial. How could he look like he was cold at all?

"What? I'm surprised!"

Li Shimin pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down!
"Are you wondering why I'm pretending to be sick?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Hey, Ziyi can't be driven by utilitarianism at all. If I hadn't kept pushing him with a whip from behind, he would have gone back to the academy to teach."

Speaking of which, Li Shimin was also helpless. What could he do when he met a minister who was lazy and temperamental? If he was an insignificant minister, that would be fine, but he turned out to be a great talent. What would you ask him to do?
"So, if you drive such a minister, you can't treat him like an ordinary minister. But you have done well over the years, and I am very satisfied with this!"

Li Chengqian was a little stunned. He didn't expect his father to say this today?How many years has it been since you spoke to him like this?

"When you finish writing the book, you can come to court and help me!"

The next words made Li Chengqian even more frightened. He quickly stood up and said: "Father, please don't. Father, it is the time when the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak. I still want to learn more under your wings. Please take it back." Success!"

Li Shimin looked at this son who satisfied him with complicated eyes, but he still said: "I am old, and I have become somewhat incapable of handling state affairs during this period. As the crown prince, it is time for you to come out and share some of my burdens. It just so happens that I am in good health now. It’s not too bad, and I can take care of it a bit.”

"You go back and make preparations. In half a month, you will follow the government and exercise your power to supervise the country. Step back!"

Li Shimin waved his hand a little tiredly. Li Chengqian just wanted to say something and there was no chance.

When he left the Tai Chi Hall, he was still a little confused. The rights he dreamed of were just within reach?
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, making him shiver.

"Being a prince under such an emperor is both a great blessing and a misfortune for you. The great blessing is that he will leave you an unparalleled empire. As long as you don't act recklessly, you will also become a wise king. Unfortunately, you will not be able to do anything in this life. No matter how hard you try, you can’t surpass him.”

Thinking of what Ji Song said to him, Li Chengqian suddenly felt relieved.

Looking at the afterglow of dusk, he suddenly put down something.He glanced at the Tai Chi Palace behind him, then strode out of the palace.
　I have been infected for the past few days, and my fever reached 39 degrees yesterday. I finished posting all my previous manuscripts and found out yesterday that it was too late to write.Part of the previous chapter was a previously banned chapter, and I thought it would also be banned, because Qiao Mu could modify it the next day after the ban, and it would not affect everyone's reading after it was approved, so I thought I would complete the task first and modify it tomorrow. Don't delay things either.But I didn’t expect that it would be unblocked directly after review.This time Barbie is Q.

　　I can’t delete it even if I want to, and Qiao Mu is deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone.Qiao Mu has rarely written these things. This time I saw someone leaving a message in the comments, so I will explain it to everyone.

　　In order to make up for everyone's losses, when Qiaomu gets better, free chapters will be released directly.Also, let me explain, this is Qiao Mu’s first book and it will definitely be finished.Thank you for your support. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone.
