The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

For those present, the existing fleet is already quite shocking, but for Li Xiang, the existing fleet is just a temporary training fleet, because the system has not yet unlocked the first few levels of sail warships. If according to According to the 1817 grading standard for naval ships, most of the ones unlocked now are fourth-level battleships and above. As for the huge first-, second- and third-level battleships, they are still in gray in the system.

Take the twenty-five battleships in the fleet as an example. These are all fourth-tier battleships, with a number of guns ranging from forty-five to sixty, a displacement of about one thousand tons, and only two decks. , the number of people is only more than 400.

If placed more than a thousand years later, such warships can only serve as security guards for the entire fleet. If they really attack, they may not be ranked first. But among the Goguryeo Navy of the Tang Dynasty, this warship It is already an absolute flagship.

"Please give the order to set sail, Your Majesty."

Although everyone on the ship looked down upon Wu King Li Ke, he was Li Shimin's son after all, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition, so from a procedural point of view, he had to be asked to announce this. Li Xiang was already On the platform on the shore.

"The navy of the Tang Dynasty flattened Fusang."

According to some of the original rules, Wu King Li Ge still wanted to say some words from Li Shimin's imperial edict, but at this moment he was so excited that he could hardly speak out, so after pulling out his sword, he pointed directly to the east and said loudly.

"Tread down the fusang."

"Tread down the fusang..."

No one thought that this relatively weak-looking prince could actually say such words. This can be regarded as changing many people's perception of him. After all, our commander-in-chief is still bloody.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin glanced at each other. They came up wearing glasses at this moment. Although Li Xiang didn't say it clearly before leaving, the lieutenant below already knew that all the command rights were before they landed on land. It's all in Ding Tu's hands.

Although you people have a relatively high position, you are not familiar with naval warfare at all. If you take over the command rashly, let alone what the soldiers below think, the most important thing is to spend huge sums of money to build a fleet. It is possible that you will not be able to exert your own strength.

Of course, Li Xiang will never feel that his fleet will suffer. The most powerful ship in Fuso now is only ten or twenty meters long at most, and there are not many long-range weapons on it. It is better to rely on the two ships to get closer and then jump. The battle is far from the same level as ours.

The reason why Li Xiang asked Ding Tu to be careful is purely because this is the first battle of the Tang Dynasty Navy. We have achieved countless victories on land. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. But the naval warships must build confidence. Only we can The soldiers and generals have the confidence to win in their hearts, just like our army. Then when they conquer the entire world in the future, they can bring back victory after victory.

The reason why the British Empire's navy was able to become the world's number one navy was because they had a belief in victory. No matter how many navies provoked them, or even when they were at an extreme disadvantage, they could still turn decay into magic. , Now that the land army of the Tang Dynasty has reached such a state, the next step is the navy.

"My eyes are really hot when I see it. If I had known this was the case, even if I ran up secretly, I would still have to see how the first naval battle was fought."

Su Dingfang said with some jealousy, to be honest, this guy really can't sit still now. He ran all the way from Chang'an, and who knew he would still serve as a guard for Li Xiang. It turns out that he likes this job very much, but if it happens in the future If this is the case, then I'm afraid he will start to complain. Who doesn't want to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield?

"Don't be jealous. After they come back, we will start the second attack. Otherwise, why would we take Nanzhao? Isn't it just to get an outlet to the sea in the south? As long as our naval warships can gain combat experience , we can plant our Datang flag wherever we go in the future.”

Li Xiang looked at the Tang military flag fluttering in the wind at the port in the distance, and felt very comfortable in his heart. This land originally belonged to Goguryeo. If he hadn't traveled through time, it would have taken at least several decades to defeat it. However, after the defeat, they did not send troops to completely occupy this place. Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty and Li Zhi only set up this management organization here, and it was taken back by the local people decades later.

But we are not like this anymore. Li Xiang has always eaten without vomiting, just like a brave animal. Since this place has been occupied by us, don’t think about taking it back. If you guys can take it back, If so, then why do we spend so much effort?

"Your Highness, the memorial from Manager Qian has arrived."

Talking about things in Nanzhao, Zhang Jiuli had already taken out a memorial from his arms. This memorial was written by Qian Ping. It is said that Qian Ping was just a eunuch and was not qualified to write a memorial at all. It just sounds nice.

Su Dingfang also leaned his head to take a look. This means that the two of them have been together for a long time under Li Xiang. If it were at another prince's place, then your action would be a bit excessive. People are willing to let you see it. Only you can see, how can you actively stretch your head?

"Take it over and take a look. King Nanzhao did not make a wrong choice. This guy did exactly what we said. Changsun Chong is also a talent. It will only take half a year to a year at most. It is estimated that the war here has just ended. , Nanzhao can become our southern rear area."

Li Xiang saw that Su Dingfang was also concerned about Nanzhao's affairs, so he directly handed the memorial to him. Anyway, there was nothing shameful about it. If there was, Qian Ping would not have asked someone to send the memorial in such a big way. Yes, he would definitely write some relatively private letters, and Zhang Jiuli would not take them out under such circumstances.

It is impossible for the two of them, a eunuch and a guilty person, to go very far in the court. Their future role will be Li Xiang's personal staff. No matter how much credit they have made, they may not be able to go to the front desk, so Li Xiang Xiang also trusted them with some trivial matters, and the two of them did not dare to be half-blind.

"That guy is just a weakling, let's..."

When Su Dingfang said this, she suddenly saw Princess Yongning approaching in the distance, and she swallowed the words behind her.
