Horse on the World

Chapter 765
The sentry ship turned a corner ahead and became the leader of the entire fleet.

On the Qiyuan, King Zhou looked at a continuous white line on the shore in the distance, and asked curiously, "General Deng, what is that?"

Deng Peng smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, that is the sea-shaking levee in Fuzhou. It took several years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It was finally completed two years ago. How about it, Your Highness, it is spectacular! Now this is also a levee in Fuzhou. Great landscape! There are endless streams of tourists!"

King Zhou smacked his lips, "How much will it cost? Isn't it a pity that Marshal Li spent his money on this? How many troops can be recruited and equipped with this money!"

Deng Peng shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you don't know! Fuzhou is one of the three major salt farms in the mainland, but in the past, the salt farms were repeatedly threatened by typhoons, and the coastal residents were also troubled by them. Every time a typhoon hit, they suffered heavy losses. Let Marshal Li make up his mind to build such a sea-shaking levee. Since the construction was successful, the people of Fuzhou have benefited a lot."

"Marshal Li really cares about his people!" Zhou Wang said with a smile.

Deng Peng smiled, "Actually, the construction of such a sea-shaking levee has a great military effect. The sea-shaking levee almost runs through the entire Fuzhou. If there is an emergency in any place, it is extremely fast and fast to deploy troops through the sea-shaking levee. And it has been built. Shaking the sea embankment, there are countless hectares of fertile land that can be planted in the embankment. With a little improvement, it can become a big granary. When did our handsome man ever do a loss-making business? Back then, Master Xu Yunfeng, the magistrate of Fuzhou, He was extremely reluctant to spend huge sums of money on the construction of the sea-shaking levee, but after half of the levee was repaired, he saw the benefits, but at this time Dingzhou had no money, so Mr. Xu went to Dingzhou to make money Mr. Fu Zhengqing, the financial secretary at the time, took the trouble to hide at home and dare not go to the yamen. Hahaha!"
King Zhou didn't smile, looking at the long embankment, he said quietly: "Dashuai Li never does business at a loss, but I don't know whether Dashuai Li's business with me is a loss or a profit?"

Deng Peng's laughter stopped abruptly, he turned his head to look at King Zhou, and said after a long while: "Your Highness, the right way is within the limits of one's feet." After saying this, Deng Peng turned around and left, stepping on the hard military boots There was a creaking sound.Turning the corner, Princess Yanran walked towards her. Seeing Deng Peng, Princess Yanran quickly turned sideways and gave Deng Pengfu a blessing.

Deng Peng turned sideways to avoid the ceremony. Anyway, Princess Yanran was definitely the second mistress of Dingzhou.Clasping his fists together, Deng Peng bowed to Princess Yanran, raised his foot to move, but stopped again, and said: "Princess, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang is a little unhappy, please go and explain it! One day, we We are about to arrive at Fuzhou Harbor, but His Royal Highness King Zhou is not in a good condition. Seeing the commander in this state is a bit of a hindrance."

Princess Yanran was taken aback, and walked a few steps, seeing her father standing on the side of the boat looking bleak, her body trembled, and her big eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Father!" she called softly.

In the evening, the fleet began to break down, and they will spend the night here. At noon tomorrow, they will arrive at Hailing Port in Fuzhou on time, where the grand ceremony that has been in preparation for several months will be officially staged.From Li Qing down in Dingzhou, all important officials, except the generals who couldn't get out of the front line, will be present.

After directing all the ships to stop, Deng Peng returned to his cabin a little tired. The guards had prepared dinner and warmed the wine, and were waiting for him to have a drink after he came back to relieve his fatigue. The battle with Pang Jun on Shuiyang completely established Deng Peng's strong self-confidence. Pang Jun is no longer a mountain on his head, but a stepping stone for him to reach the highest peak. Deng Peng believes that, When he met Pang Jun again on Heishuiyang, it was the time to completely defeat him.

Pang Jun has obviously embarked on a wrong path in the use of the Wanliao giant ship. Using the Wanliao giant ship as the vanguard of the charge is to put the most threatening and powerful army in the front. Reasonable, but water warfare is different from land warfare, and this path is unworkable.

Deng Peng is very grateful to Li Qing for reminding that when the Wanliao giant ship was first launched, Deng Peng followed the same path as Pang Jun, but after Li Qing's inspection, he proposed to use the Wanliao giant ship as a support The use of combat platforms is when the efficiency of things will be higher, so that Deng Peng began to pay attention to Li Qing's proposal, and then in many simulated battles, the fleet using the giant ship as a support platform has always been able to defeat the fleet that used it as a support platform. The fleet that Pioneer will use makes this combat mode the standard combat mode of the Dingzhou Navy.

Deng Peng didn't know how the protagonist who didn't understand naval warfare came up with this set of tactics. He knew that Li Qing really didn't understand naval warfare, because he didn't even know the most basic classification of ships, but he could come up with the most effective naval warfare tactics. Model, which made Deng Peng lament that the protagonist is indeed gifted by heaven, and he can know without learning, and it is no wonder that the protagonist has achieved today's achievements.

After sitting down and drinking a glass of wine, Deng Peng felt much more relaxed after he defeated Pang Jun.

"General!" A captain came in, "There is a ship coming from Fuzhou!"

Um?Deng Peng raised his head, he will arrive at Hailing Port tomorrow, why is there still a boat coming over there today? "Who is here?" Deng Peng immediately thought that it must be an important person from Dingzhou who will make the final decision on tomorrow's affairs.

"The signal from the other side is Lord Yan and Lord Wei!" said the captain.

"Master Wei?" Deng Peng was taken aback for a while, and then realized that this Lord Wei should be Wei Gang who served as Minister of Rites of Dingzhou.

"Let's go, let's go to greet you!" Putting down his wine glass, Deng Peng stood up. The people who came were all big shots. Yan Nanfei was one of the elders of the three pavilions in Dingzhou. Although Wei Gang was a newcomer, his position was extremely important The important thing is not to neglect in the slightest.

When they got to the bottom deck, a five-thousand-ship warship had just approached. The soldiers stepped on the gangplank and connected the two ships together. Yan Nanfei was in the lead, Wei Gang was in the second, followed by a group of guards.

"Lord Yan, long time no see!" Deng Peng cupped his fists and laughed loudly, "Don't you come here all right?"

Yan Nanfei smiled and said: "General Deng, stop talking to me and take me to your cabin quickly, I have to go back today!"

Deng Peng was taken aback, "Go back?"

Yan Nanfei winked, "Let's go!"

Deng Peng was a little confused, but his face remained calm, "Come on, I'll lead the way."

Entering the cabin, Deng Peng turned around and saw behind Yan Nanfei and Wei Gang, followed by another guard, but the rest of the guards stood outside the door lined up.

Seeing this situation, Deng Peng couldn't help being surprised, and was about to ask a question, but saw the guard raised his head and smiled at him, "General Deng, how do you feel when you defeated Pang Jun?"

Deng Peng was stunned for a while, the familiar voice and unfamiliar face made him a little confused for a while, but he immediately reacted, stepped forward excitedly, knelt down on one knee, "My lord, you, what is this?"

Li Qing laughed, and stretched out his hand to tear off the mask on his face, "Li Wen told me that wearing this thing won't cause any discomfort, it's totally wrong, it suffocates me to death."

He helped Deng Peng up, and said with a smile: "In the battle of Heishuiyang, our Dingzhou navy has been invincible and arrogant in the world. General Deng is famous all over the world. Pang Jun's navy No. 1 title will be worn by our general Deng." It's on the head!"

Both Yan Nanfei and Wei Gang smiled and nodded, "General Deng's battle has shown the prestige of our Dingzhou Navy, and the mighty Pang Jun has never dared to be the lord."

Deng Peng stood up, shook his head and said: "Master, although we have sunk the opponent's Ningzhou in this battle, but if we really want to find out the victory or defeat, it is an invincible game. Pang Jun is above the navy. His accomplishments are indeed stronger than mine. If the lord hadn't taught me the correct way to use the Wanliao giant ship, I would definitely lose this battle. Although Pang Jun is retreating now, the centipede is dead but not stiff. It will take a long time to eliminate the Southern Army Navy.”

Li Qing patted Deng Peng on the shoulder and said: "Very good, winning without arrogance, having a correct understanding of oneself and the enemy, this is the kind of heart a general should have. However, General Deng does not underestimate himself. After losing the hematopoietic function, within a long time, it will be difficult for them to launch any more giant ships, which means that they will no longer be able to compete with us. Next, we will gradually take their only Use up resources."

Deng Peng nodded again and again, "Don't worry, my lord. Today, my lord came over overnight, do you want to see him?"

Li Qingdao: "That's right. He will be officially promoted to the stage tomorrow. If I don't meet him in person beforehand, I will feel a little worried. I want to have a talk with him in person."

"My lord is very considerate. Today I talked with King Zhou, and he has some emotional problems!" He repeated what King Zhou said today.

"When things come to an end, you always worry about gains and losses!" Li Qing said. "Go ask him to come over."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Deng Peng hurried out.

Li Qing sat down, turned around and said to Wei Gang: "Master Wei, you are an old subordinate of King Zhou, you will stay here today, have a good talk with King Zhou, and comfort his heart, Tell him, I, Li Qing, am not someone who crosses rivers and destroys bridges, as long as he cooperates well, there is no need to worry in the future!"

"Yes, my lord!" Ever since he arrived in Dingzhou and saw the state of Dingzhou, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he gradually began to get in touch with some core content, which gave Wei Gang a new understanding of Dingzhou, which made him He quickly changed his mind and entered the role.The Wei family's prosperity and resurgence on the mainland all depended on Li Qing.

The closed door was gently pushed open, and Deng Peng appeared at the door. As he stepped aside, a girl with a light veil on her face appeared at the door supporting King Zhou.

"Princess Yanran?" Yan Nanfei couldn't help calling softly, looking at Deng Peng. How could Princess Yanran also come? Deng Peng at the door spread his hands and shrugged helplessly.
