The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

After Wu Wang Li Ge finished sighing, he turned around and met the eyes of these navy generals. Seeing the disdainful expressions on their faces, Wu Wang Li Ke did not get angry. He also understood what these people were thinking.

Strictly speaking, these people have nothing to do with the Tang court. From the day the Goguryeo Navy was established, all expenses were paid by Li Xiang. From design to funding, nothing from the court was used. These people originally lived a very difficult life, and it was precisely because Li Xiang helped them that they became a majestic naval general.

According to their original thinking, they should follow Li Xiang to fight the world. After all, Li Xiang had given them a big deal at that time. When the naval warships were trained, he would definitely take them overseas to open up new territories. to transport back boatloads of grain and gold.

But now the court suddenly sent another prince here, and he had some quarrels with our prince before, so it is normal for these people to be a little unhappy. If they are very cooperative, King Wu will feel strange.

Ahem...

Ding Tu, the admiral of the Goguryeo navy, felt these unfriendly eyes and reminded these people that Ding Tu was actually dissatisfied in his heart, but the situation was stronger than others. The imperial edict from the imperial court had already arrived. Unless you people want to rebel, you must Otherwise, you have to follow the wishes of the court.

"Your Majesty, don't mind. We are all rough people. We spend all our time on the sea with warships, so we don't know much about some interpersonal relationships on land. I hope you will forgive me, Your Majesty."

Although Ding Tu said it in a very humble way, his whole body did not even tilt. Wu Wang Li Ke certainly understood that he was here today. Even if Li Shimin comes here tomorrow, the attitude of these people towards Li Shimin will not be much better. After all, The Dengzhou Navy was in such decline back then, and Li Shimin didn't allocate a big man to it.

In the minds of these naval generals, the imperial court pushed them to the front line during the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. However, when they suffered all their losses, the imperial court did not allocate funds for them to replenish them. Isn't this just treating them as cannon fodder? ?

Could it be that the imperial court's defeat against Goguryeo was because their naval officers did not work hard? The situation at that time really had nothing to do with them. They had completed their tasks outstandingly. It was the imperial army on land that had a problem, which led to everything now. But this does not allow our navy to bear such a Responsibility.

At that time, Li Shimin was concerned about his own face, and also wanted to let the generals accompanying the army get away with it, so he intentionally or unintentionally began to punish the naval generals. After all, these people were not Li Shimin's direct descendants, and from Li Shimin's point of view of the ruling system, The Navy will be used in very few places in the future, and the most important thing is the army on land. Therefore, under their guidance, people across the country even believed that the failure of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was related to the Navy.

For a time, they turned into figures like rats crossing the street, so these people felt very aggrieved. They fought with their lives on the battlefield, but when they came back, the result was different. There were no benefits at all, and all the disadvantages. It's all ours, and I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable for anyone else.

Later, if Li Xiang had not appeared, the Tang Dynasty Navy might really have fended for itself. The money given by the court was so little, and there were so many people to support. If they left the military camp without authorization, it would be terrible. It was a serious crime of betraying the imperial court, so many people couldn't live any longer.

Just when everyone was about to collapse, Li Xiang took over the Dengzhou Navy and became the admiral of the Dengzhou Navy. It was at that time that Li Xiang's funds began to be poured in continuously, which also made his subordinates People have new hope for a new life.

When Li Shimin asked Li Xiang to take over the Dengzhou Navy, he actually had little impression of the Dengzhou Navy in his mind. A few months before that, someone reported to Li Shimin that due to insufficient supplies, The Dengzhou Navy had already had several troubles, so Li Shimin threw the Dengzhou Navy out as a hot yam.

When you are down, you despise others, but when you are prosperous, you want to pick peaches. This is how navy officers and soldiers view the imperial court.

So no matter which prince or court official comes to the camp of the Goguryeo Navy this time, don't even think about having a good face, not to mention they have moved all their family members here. If If someone wants to take over them, these people may not dare to touch it.

"General Ding is serious. I have some knowledge of your previous situation. It is the court that feels sorry for you."

King Wu Li Ke sighed helplessly. Although he was a prince and a very intelligent prince, this status may not be useful after leaving the capital. There were so many royal people who got sick and died. Do you really think Are they all sick?

Never show off your majesty as a prince when you are outside, especially in the Goguryeo Navy Camp. If you don't protect them, these people will cause trouble for you.

After hearing what King Wu Li Ke said, Ding Tu and his men looked a little better. This prince didn't look so annoying anymore. If he comes to show off to us with a menacing look, then Don't blame our brothers for not giving you face. In this military camp, only Li Xiang has such treatment. If others want to order us, they have to see how much you have paid for us.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, Ding Tu and other generals understood that the Goguryeo Navy was like Li Xiang's private army. No one could mobilize a warship before receiving Li Xiang's order. You, King Wu, Li Ke, can't do it, and neither can Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao.

Perhaps because Li Shimin understood this, he asked Li Xiang to be the general manager of the march, specifically responsible for logistics. If Li Xiang was allowed to command remotely from Chang'an, that's not to say it was impossible, but Chang'an City was only a few miles away from Goguryeo. The division barracks is too far away. If the military planes are delayed by the back and forth, our navy may suffer serious losses, let alone occupying Fuso.

Li Shimin once asked someone to find out. The current Goguryeo Navy is not very expensive. If the Tang Dynasty were to build it, it would cost all the fiscal and tax revenue for two years...
