There was nothing going on at home with Luo Zhang, so he didn't stay at home too long, so he took Wu Shaobin and headed for the Royal Navy barracks!
The news he got from the morning court and the order he received forced him to go to the Royal Navy.
When Luo Zhang arrived at the naval barracks, he summoned Liu Renyuan and others.
In the large tent of the navy barracks, Luo Zhang sat at the top, and the other generals sat in a row at the bottom, waiting for Luo Zhang to speak.
Luo Zhang did not speak first, but unfolded a map, stood up, pointed at the map with a stick and said: "You should all be able to understand this map!"
The generals nodded, indicating that they understood. Luo Zhang had already drawn the map of future generations, but it was too difficult to draw. So far, he has only drawn two. One was given to His Majesty, and the other was placed in the military camp for reference. All the generals will copy it and become familiar with it!
Seeing the generals nodding, Luo Zhang continued: "The news we received today is that many pirates have landed on the southeast coast to harass the people along the coast. Several villages have been massacred and hundreds of innocent people have died in vain. These pirates can be said to have committed the most heinous crimes. , His Majesty has decreed that we must destroy this group of pirates. This is the duty of our Royal Navy. If we cannot ensure the stability of the Tang Dynasty sea area, it will be our dereliction of duty."
The generals below were quite surprised to hear that there were actually pirates who dared to violate the ban. You must know that since they destroyed the conspiracy between the Japanese and Goguryeo Langya Mountains, few ships from these two countries dared to cross over to the Tang Dynasty. In the sea area, they were afraid that they would be attacked by the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty again, causing them heavy losses!
Where is this guy who is not afraid of death? He dares to attack at this time. He is really impatient!
Now, His Majesty actually knew about it and even issued an order. This made Liu Renyuan and others feel quite embarrassed. You must know that before, they had patted their chests and said that they were ensuring the stability of the Tang Dynasty sea area. It didn't take long for them to be It’s a slap in the face, it’s amazing that your face looks good!
Seeing the expressions of poverty on the faces of all the generals, Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction. It was good to have a sense of shame, but he was afraid of being indifferent. Such soldiers had lost their blood and were not worthy of his training at all. They would be his first choice. Time transferred away from the Royal Navy, but fortunately his people were not like this.
"Sir, I, Liu Renyuan, am willing to lead the fleet to fight, and I will destroy those pirates! And restore peace to the waters of the Tang Dynasty!" Liu Renyuan was the first to stand up.
"Sir, I, Liu Rengui, am willing to lead the fleet to sweep the southeast and prevent the pirates from entering the waters of the Tang Dynasty!" Liu Rengui also said immediately.
Du Shuang has also returned in the past few days. At this time, only Sun Renshi is still in the waters near Goguryeo.
Hearing Liu Renyuan, Liu Rengui started talking one after another, how could Du Shuang fall behind? Liu Renyuan, Liu Rengui had made great achievements this time and was promoted to a noble title. Naturally, he also wanted to make meritorious deeds!
As the saying goes, if you don't want to be a general, the soldiers in the army are not good soldiers. Du Shuang now targets the two and starts chasing them.
"Sir, I, Du Shuang, would like to lead a fleet and station it permanently in the southeast to keep the enemy at bay. We will never return to Chang'an until we destroy the enemy!" Du Shuang stood up and swore an oath.
Everyone was stunned by his words, stationed in the southeast forever? This is no joke. There is no joke in the army. If you say it, it will come true. Who knows how many pirates there will be in the southeast. If they can't be wiped out, won't Chang'an live in the south for the rest of their lives? You must know that Du Shuang is the eldest grandson of the Du family in Chang'an. If he doesn't come back, won't the Du family want to choose another successor? This is no joke. If Mr. Du knew about this, he would probably beat his unfilial grandson Du Shuang to death with a cane!
However, Du Shuang's eyes were firm, without any cowardice or compromise. It was obvious that he was not joking when he said this. Even Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui were a little moved.
Luo Zhang glanced at Du Shuang and nodded slightly: "There is no joke in the army. Are you sure you don't want to clear out the sea and station yourself in the southeast forever?"
"Your Majesty, please do it!" Du Shuang bowed and said.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that there are such loyal and courageous people in our army. They are really role models for men in the Tang Dynasty. Since you are so determined, it would seem that I have no courage if I don't let you go. This time I will give you full authority to clear the southeast sea, but you don’t have to stay in the southeast forever. I have a more important thing for you to do. You can come back as long as you complete this task!" Luo Zhang squinted his eyes. Looking towards Du Shuang, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Although Du Shuang is not as famous as Liu Renyuan, Liu Rengui, and Sun Renshi in the early Tang Dynasty, the fleet he leads is famous for its bravery in combat. I have not discovered this characteristic before, but I did not expect that today it gave Luo Zhang a big surprise. , with such a good general, why worry about the immortality of those sea creatures.
Everyone was very envious when they saw Luo Zhang promising this task to Du Shuang, but at the same time they also had admiration and no jealousy. People dare to make such an oath. This is something they cannot do. Getting this task is a real thing. Well deserved.
After everyone left, only Liu Renyuan, Liu Rengui, Du Shuang, and Luo Zhang were left in the tent.
Looking at the three admirals under his command, Luo Zhang stood up again, picked up the wooden stick and pointed at Huating County: "Du Shuang, this time in addition to annihilating Southeast Hainan, you also have to go to Huating County. My fiefdom, I want you to help me build the seaport there, do you have the confidence?"
When the three of them heard that Luo Zhang actually wanted to build a port in Huating County, they couldn't help but look at the map. When they saw the location of Huating County, they all understood why Luo Zhang wanted this place as a fiefdom and why he wanted to build a seaport here. This boundary is really too important. It is at the junction of the north and the south. Ships from the north going south, or ships going north from the south, usually have difficulty in supplying supplies when they go here, and the sergeants are tired. Generally, they go to the south as generals. Part of the warehouse is loaded with supplies, and heading south like this is actually risky. Not only will the sailors be exhausted, but they will also suffer from some illnesses after being at sea for such a long time. Once they land, it will take at least some time to recover.
But if there is a seaport in Huating County for naval ships to dock for supplies and rest, it will greatly reduce the chance of contracting the disease and also reduce the time for soldiers to recover after arriving in the south.
"Of course, Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui will also go to help you. The three of you can rotate out to destroy the sea. You don't have to be stationed there forever. The three of you can rotate out to patrol the sea area, but remember that one person must be stationed in the harbor to build , to prevent Xiaoxiao from coming to destroy it. In addition, I will send people here to help you supervise the construction. You only need to manage the general direction, and you don’t need to worry about specific matters. Do you understand what I mean?" Luo Zhang used a wooden stick. Pointing to Huating County Road.
The three of them looked at Huating County with burning eyes, then stood up and bowed at the same time: "Yes, sir! I understand!"
