Datang all-rounder

Chapter 215

Facing the map, Wang Ke began to think about where to build the military port first. For these places, construction must be started, but what needs to be considered now is where to build first, and where to build later. For the current Wang Ke is also very clear about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. The original purpose of establishing a navy is to fight against the current Koryo Peninsula and the islands occupied by Japanese pirates. Of course, this war against Japanese pirates is Wang Ke himself. Comrade Li Er and the others probably haven't thought about it now. After all, in their minds, this dwarf country poses no threat to Datang, so they never thought about conquering them.

For the current Tang people, they have no idea that after 1000 years, this island, which they don't even look at now, will bring great harm to the land they live in now.Comrade Li Er was a little surprised to see Wang Ke's face in pain, grief and indignation. He didn't know what caused Wang Ke to change like this.

Unknowingly, Comrade Li Er pushed Wang Ke with his hands and asked, "Boy, what's the matter with you? Why are you like this!"

After being pushed by Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke woke up from his contemplation, and said hastily: "Your Majesty, I just remembered something. Now that the world thinks this way, I ask the Emperor to make the final decision."

Seeing what Wang Ke said, Comrade Li Er thought that he was just thinking about how to proceed because he had a big psychological change after all, so he didn't care. He pointed to the map and said, "Tell me first, boy, let me see what you think."

Wang Ke first pointed to Goguryeo and said: "Your Majesty, please see that on this small peninsula, these three countries are now established. Although they all pay tribute to my Tang Dynasty, they have never really surrendered from the heart. However, the annual tribute is as little as possible. Now the three countries are fighting every year without stopping. This is of course a good thing for my Tang Dynasty. This will not only weaken their national strength, but also make them When I have no time to take care of them, I don't have to worry about them being unfavorable to me."

Comrade Li Er looked at the map, listened to Wang Ke's explanation, just nodded, but did not speak, just waiting for Wang Ke to continue talking.

Wang Ke pointed his hand to the east, and said: "Look at this place again, Your Majesty, it is surrounded by water and the terrain is narrow. Although it looks calm now, there is still an undercurrent inside them, and there is no real gain." Unity."

Wang Ke drew a big circle with his hand, drew the above two places inside and said: "Now these two places are the closest to my court. From now on, they are not a threat to our court, but Once they are truly united, they will definitely become a serious problem for our dynasty!"

Wang Ke didn't know how to explain it to Comrade Li Er, because the history he knew could not be explained clearly to Comrade Li Er. Even if he told him, Comrade Li Er would not believe it, so he could only say a few words Say no more.

Although Comrade Li Er doesn't know what Wang Ke thinks, but for him who is determined to expand the territory, as long as he can expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't have to think about anything else, and the one named Goguryeo At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui also sent troops to occupy this place, but his wish was not fulfilled only because he failed to return.And as a self who wants to establish hegemony and become an emperor through the ages, it is absolutely impossible not to conquer this land.

Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er had no objection to his opinion, so he went on to say: "Xiangnan is the South China Sea where the navy of the Han Dynasty once cruised. If the merchant ships of our dynasty want to reach Tianzhu and Persia from the sea, they must Guarantee the safety of this sea area! Around this sea, there are our vassal countries Jiaozhi and Annan. There is also a wild land that we have never set foot on. There are products that our dynasty does not have, and there are places that our merchant ships must pass through It's more dangerous. If I can't control this sea area, the ships I'm going on can't sail safely."

Originally, Comrade Li Er didn't have much idea about the south side, but when he heard that it not only has products that the Tang Dynasty did not have, but also seriously threatened the travel of the Tang Dynasty ships, he felt a little urgent, and asked repeatedly: "Boy, your Does that mean we build the port on the south side first?"

Wang Ke was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that Comrade Li Er would actually think this way. Judging from the current situation here, it is far from the point where it must be occupied immediately. For Datang, getting rid of the threat on land In the future, the biggest threat on the sea will be Goguryeo and Wa, and all the countries and regions in the South China Sea are still not a threat to Datang.

Wang Ke quickly said: "Your Majesty, our navy hasn't been established yet, so it's unwise to attack here from the beginning. For me, Datang, we have to deal with these places in the east first, and take down these places." The local council, turn around and go south again, so as to avoid the danger of being attacked by the enemy. Now the southern countries are just wild lands, and I, Tang Dynasty, can take them down at any time, so there is no need to rush."

Comrade Li Er stroked his beard, looked at the map and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right, this kid has a clear understanding of priorities. Then now we only need to build a port at a location to the north. Then slowly move south, building one by one. Kid, do you mean that?"

Seeing that Comrade Li Er already had some understanding of his intentions, Wang Ke was also relieved. In this way, he didn't need to talk for a long time to let the emperor who knew nothing about maritime affairs know what to do.

"Your Majesty, now we only need to build two ports, mainly here." Wang Ke pointed to a place in the Bohai Bay, and said to Comrade Li Er with a smile: "Once this is built, it can be used on both land and water. Attack Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, and annihilate them in one fell swoop, accomplishing a feat that the previous dynasty did not accomplish. On this basis, our dynasty will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort if we attack the Wa country again."

I have to say that what Wang Ke said reached Comrade Li Er's heart. Apart from destroying the Turks and occupying Tuyuhun, Comrade Li Er's greatest wish is to destroy several countries on this small peninsula. He wants to let the world know that The Tang Dynasty under my rule is stronger than the previous dynasty, and I am the greatest king in the history of the Tang Dynasty!
Comrade Li Er suppressed his excitement, and asked Wang Ke: "Boy, when can we start? And how to form our navy, do you have any consideration?"

Wang Ke had thought about this issue long ago, and now Comrade Li Er asked without hesitation, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder and it is no longer suitable to start work. In my opinion, it is better to only carry out basic work now." The program is to open up the site, and the materials for the construction of the port can be transported to this place, and the construction will start in the spring of next year. As for the navy, don't I have two small river transport navy on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River? Using them as the skeleton, first train them for ocean navigation, and after their training is completed, recruit new soldiers to train them. In this way, when the port is built, the navy we are facing will have taken shape."

After listening to Wang Ke's words, Comrade Li Er frowned unconsciously. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't come up with it for a while. After thinking about it, he figured it out. This only talked about the port and soldiers. The most important thing is also The most essential ship has not been mentioned yet.

Comrade Li Er asked: "Boy, after talking for a long time, there is no such boat yet. What should I do?"

Wang Ke couldn't help but blushed. He followed Comrade Li Er's topic here and talked eloquently for a long time, but he forgot the most important thing. If Comrade Li Er remembered it and arranged it in such a hurry Go down, it will be too late when you find out.

Wang Ke bowed to Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I made a mistake in this matter. I forgot such an important matter. If it is not for the emperor's enlightenment, there will be a big problem. Please forgive me!"

Comrade Li Er saw that Wang Ke admitted that he was wrong, and felt that he, who knew nothing about maritime affairs, was right. Tell me how to do this, I will not blame you!"

Wang Ke cupped his hands again and again, saying Xie En's words.

Comrade Li Er saw that Wang Ke was not telling the truth, so he stared at him and said, "Tell me, boy, or I will really punish you."

Wang Ke saw Comrade Li Er like this, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, there have always been more ships in the south than in the north, and this shipbuilding skill is also better in the south. I thought that this matter should be led by the General Armament Department. Draw out a certain place, and it can be carried out. As for the style of this ship, I have to discuss it with a few adults, and try to make it as good as possible."

"Oh, can you build boats?" Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke and asked in surprise.

Wang Ke blushed, bowed and said: "The emperor misunderstood, how can I build a ship, I just know a little about the appearance of the ship, but I don't know the internal structure."

Seeing what Wang Ke said, Comrade Li Er said disapprovingly: "Is there any consideration for the appearance, and it will not be long to follow the style of the previous dynasty."

When Wang Ke heard this, he really couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of boats are these before? Flat-bottomed boats are simply small sampans. This kind of boat can't stand the big waves if it wants to sail on the sea.

Wang Ke had no choice but to say sternly: "Your Majesty, the ships of the previous dynasty are no good. At most, they can only sail in the coastal waters, and they can't go far. Now the ships we want to build are for long-distance sailing, and they must be able to withstand strong winds and waves. , besides, we still need to install artillery on our ship, which is different from the structure of the previous ship. It must be redesigned!"

Comrade Li Er didn't understand until Wang Ke said this. His thoughts were too simple, so he couldn't help but waved his hand and said, "Then do as you say. You will be the contact person for this matter. Which departments are needed?" It’s going on together, you just look for it, if you need me to come forward, you just come to me. Boy, I have entrusted my Datang navy to your hands, I hope you don’t let me down!”

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, this matter fell on her head again, and she no longer regretted it as before. Anyway, he was used to such things, and whenever new things came out, there was no one who could run away.

After saluting to Comrade Li Er, Wang Ke withdrew from the imperial study, and hurriedly began to organize manpower to prepare for this matter. Discuss how to build the ship and how to arrange the artillery on the ship.Regarding these, he believed that these old killers were much clearer than himself.

As he walked, Wang Ke was excited. Datang's navy was finally going to be born in his own hands. As long as the navy was established, Datang would have two armies, the navy and the army. I don't know if the air force is also Can think of a way to get it out, if it can be done, then it will really be the three armies of the sea, land and air, and Comrade Li Er will become the real supreme commander of the three armies. At that time, Comrade Li Er may laugh even when he is asleep wake up.As for myself, hehe, I must be able to get some light and get some benefits.
