When he first arrived at the military camp, he found that there were not many people inside. Luo Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui were working too hard. They started training not long after they came back.
Turning the horse's head, he came to the dock and saw warships docked not far away. A famous soldier was practicing various matters on the deck on the warship. There were also many soldiers in the water practicing treading water. There were many captains holding whips in their hands and shouting at them to move faster, looking nervous and busy.
Luo Zhang's arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people. After all, how could anyone approach a military important place at will? Someone just wanted to go forward and chase him away but saw it was Luo Zhang. They couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Sir, why are you here?"
After saying that, he turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Master Luo is here, Master Luo is here!"
boom!
The training soldiers were all shocked for a while. Of course they knew who Mr. Luo was. This was their leader. It was with his help that the Datang Navy was formed, and all the consumption of the Datang Navy could be achieved. The adults pay for it out of their own pockets, which means they are all being raised by the adults.
Of course, now they can be self-sufficient and no longer need adults to pay for their support. The money obtained from the batch of ships auctioned last time is enough to keep the Tang Dynasty navy happy for a year, even if they don't go to sea this year Neither will starve to death.
But that’s unrealistic. If the navy doesn’t go to sea, what’s the point of calling it a navy? What's more, Japan and Gaoguli have not been defeated. How can the navy rest? Not to mention that there are enemies farther away waiting for the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the navy soldiers running towards him one by one, Luo Zhang smiled knowingly. No matter what business or fiefdom, there is nothing better than holding an army that can look down on you. This is the real thing. As long as you have this Even His Majesty did not dare to mess with the army that he was looking at. This was something that Changsun Wuji had always wanted to do but could not do, but Luo Zhang accomplished it.
However, Luo Zhang would not rebel against Li Shimin. He had no intention of becoming an emperor. Being an emperor was too tiring. He was busy all day long and had little time to sleep. After so many years of hard work, it was not a pile of loess in the end.
After you die, no matter how strong and stable the empire you have built will collapse one day, it is better to be a salted fish than to live happily ever after.
Of course, this is Luo Zhang's life sentiment, but in the eyes of some people, that chair has an irresistible temptation. Everyone's choice is different, and the path will naturally be different.
"Sir!" Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui came to Luo Zhang and bowed.
A group of captains behind them also bowed to pay homage to Luo Zhang.
"Everyone, get up." Luo Zhang waved his hand.
"I said Renyuan, Rengui, you guys are training right now. Isn't it a bit too harsh?" Luo Zhang asked, looking at the soldiers who kept looking behind.
"Sir, although we won a big victory this time, we also found many problems this time. For example, the sails on the deck are not raised and lowered skillfully enough, the giant crossbows are not controlled quickly enough, and the soldiers' fighting skills are not satisfactory. ..." Liu Renyuan listed seven or eight shortcomings at once.
"With so many shortcomings, how can we slack off? Although we have sharp weapons like iron knots, the iron knots will also be used up when they are used up. What if we don't have the iron knots? In the end, we still have to rely on the knife in our hands to fight the enemy. , If you don’t practice now, when will you practice? I won’t have time for you when we get to the battlefield!”
"In addition, if our ships can be controlled more quickly this time, there will be no losses, let alone casualties. All this tells me that we still have many shortcomings!" Liu Renyuan explained.
Listening to Liu Renyuan's words, Luo Zhang was a little speechless. The emperor-level naval god of war was different. He thought more than labor and capital. Fortunately, he had dug it under his hands one step ahead, otherwise he could have made a breakthrough on his own. world.
"You are right, and your idea is good, but it must be done in moderation and not over-trained, otherwise the soldiers will be exhausted." Luo Zhang patted Liu Renyuan on the shoulder and said.
"Yes, sir! I understand!" Liu Renyuan said humbly.
Walking on the pier, with a group of people following behind, Luo Zhang asked as he walked: "Is there no problem with the Navy now?"
"Report to your lord, no!" Liu Renyuan said.
"Have the remains of the soldiers who died in the Langya Mountain Battle been sent back?"
"They have all been sent back, and the pension has been paid three times as much as in the Tang Dynasty!"
Luo Zhang nodded, as long as everything was in order, he would be fine.
"How did you go about the things I told you?" Luo Zhang stopped and looked at Liu Renyuan.
"Your Excellency, are you talking about those ships?" Liu Renyuan said with excitement.
Luo Zhang nodded.
"I have asked Sun Renshi to take his fleet to search south. I think we will find those ships in the near future."
"I have also issued an order. If these ships are found, it is best to seize them. If they cannot be captured, they will be sunk!" Liu Renyuan said fiercely.
"I just don't know where this old boy took the boat. I haven't found it yet, which is really good!" Luo Zhang snorted softly.
Neither of them said anything clearly, so even if there were many people around, they couldn't understand what they were saying.
Close to an island in Japan, a group of Japanese ships were slowly approaching here. There were many Japanese people living on the island. When they saw the arrival of a group of Japanese ships, many people on the dock cheered.
Each arrival of a ship meant food, as well as various businesses.
Women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked onto the pier one after another, and a Japanese man also walked onto the pier, each with his own business and his own way of living.
However, this time they were very confused. The ship was indeed Japanese, but the sailors on the ship did not dress like Japanese people. What was going on?
Before they could react, the ship lowered the gangplank, and a tall man rushed down with a knife while laughing.
"Japanese girls, we haven't played with each other yet. Today we can start playing with meat."
"Yes, after wandering on this sea for so many days, I finally have a taste of meat!"
"Brothers, rush to the duck, occupy this island, take away everything you like, kill all the men, and keep the women!" A bald man, holding a big knife, shouted to everyone who got off the boat.
"Hahaha, if you follow big brother, you will have meat to eat!"
A group of people rushed onto the island like bandits. For a moment, the entire island screamed and screamed. The men looked at these bandits in horror, while the women turned pale.
Luo Zhang didn't expect that the ships he sent people to look for had actually appeared near Japan.
