"Your Highness, it's time to eat."
"Do you think the fairy mountain will appear again tonight?"
"This slave doesn't know..."
"Your Highness, do you want to play chess today?"
"Jack, tell me, do you think the fairy mountain will appear again tonight?"
Zhen Youqian, who didn't sleep again the whole night, seemed to be in a daze the next day. When meeting people, he would ask if he could still see the fairy mountain.
In the end, Tang Ping took courage and said, "Your Highness, no matter whether the Fairy Mountain will appear again tonight, at least we have confirmed the existence of the Fairy Mountain. As long as His Highness the Prince finds the Fairy Mountain, it will be a great achievement." ."
No matter Zhen Youqian is so worried about gains and losses.
The main reason is that the pressure on the Tang Dynasty is too great. In the past few years, Dongyue has never been idle. It is unknown how many spies were sent to the Tang Dynasty.
The speed of Datang's development is what scares them the most.
Although they still have a powerful Wei navy, their warship blueprints were all given by Tang Ping.
Now that Datang has captured East Vietnam, it is only a matter of time before it builds a more powerful maritime fleet.
Whether it was because he was ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry, or whether he was grasping at the last straw, in Zhen Youqian's view, to solve the big problem of the Tang Dynasty, it was not possible to rely solely on the peaceful Wei Dynasty.
Overseas fairyland is his only chance.
Zhen Youqian seemed particularly irritable that day. If Tang Ping hadn't been considered meritorious, he would have been whipped twice today.
At night, Zhen Yougan, who couldn't stand it any longer, had just laid down when the guards he had arranged to guard on the deck came down.
"Your Highness, the fairy mountain has appeared again."
Zhen Youqian was shocked, then Gulu got up and rushed out.
"The fairy mountain is really a fairy mountain!"
If Zhen Youqian only saw it once last night, then today he saw it for real. What is that fairy mountain in the distant sky?
It's a pity that the immortal mountain didn't come out for a long time today, and it disappeared in half a stick of incense.
After their ship sailed over, naturally they found nothing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly blessed. He saw the Fairy Mountain for two consecutive nights!" Tang Ping flattered him.
Zhen Youqian didn't look happy, but his face was uncertain. Finally he looked at Zhen Wu and asked: "Zhen Wu, do you think I want to report back to my father?"
"This..." Zhen Wu hesitated and said, "From what Jack said, although the navy of Java is not as powerful as that of the Wei Dynasty, it should not be underestimated. If you don't report back to your majesty..."
"I didn't ask you to say this. What I asked was whether I wanted to report back!" Zhen Youqian bit the word "I" hard.
】
Zhen Wu finally made up his mind, knelt on his knees and held up his hands and said: "Prince, my subordinates' selfish motives are not to let the prince report to your majesty. If he did, he would probably hand over the task of leading the army to... General Rong."
General Vinh is the current commander-in-chief of the East Vietnam Navy and Zhen Xiong's most trusted naval admiral. Many important tasks that require the navy have been entrusted to him.
In the entire court, General Rong's reputation was much higher than that of Zhen Youqian.
"General Rong..." Zhen Yougan muttered through gritted teeth. He and his subordinates knew that this should be the highest possibility.
"Your Highness, I would like to say something treasonous again." Zhen Wu said it anyway, gritted his teeth and continued: "General Rong's status in the entire Wei Dynasty is somewhat similar to His Majesty's status in East Vietnam in the past. I heard... …I heard that Your Majesty has promised Princess Zenpei to General Rong.”
This sentence shocked Zhen Youqian. That's right. Although General Rong does not monopolize the military power now, his status in the army is somewhat similar to his father's status in the East Vietnam Army in the past.
Although the Wei Dynasty now has a crown prince, the crown prince himself really has no prestige in the court.
"Then let's mobilize our own troops to rob people, and then find the fairy mountain!" Zhen Youqian squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
As long as you grab the fisherman who knows the way to the fairy mountain, and then find the fairy mountain, if you can ask for help from the fairy, then let alone say it is a great achievement.
Even if I want to go further, I still can't...
It can only be said that sometimes Zhen Youqian and his men are so stupid that even if there is a fairy mountain, why would the immortals in the fairy mountain help them?
In other words, they have thought about it, but automatically eliminated the negative answer.
Zhen Yougan was straightforward. After making the decision, he called his confidants overnight, and also called Tang Ping.
This shows that Tang Ping, who is now transformed into Jack, has temporarily entered Zhen Youqian's circle of confidants.
"Let's talk about how we can mobilize the fleet from Maoshan Point."
Tang Ping asked secretly and found out that Maoshanjiao was Wei's second largest naval base in Nanyang. There were more than a hundred new warships, as well as 200 large and small warships, a total of more than 300 warships here.
Except for the navy outside the capital of the Wei Dynasty, it is the strongest here. Not only are these navies at odds with the capital navy, they also guard Yazhou opposite, which will later be known as Hainan Island.
According to the news Tang Ping heard, he estimated that Maoshan Cape was probably the location of Da Nang in later generations.
Zhen Youqian and other confidants began to discuss it in a lively manner, but it has to be said that a raging army will lead to a raging nest.
There are really not many people who can work with Zhen You who are really capable. They have a lot of ideas, but there are really not many that are reliable.
Although Zhen Youqian is a bit dandy, he has been a prince for a while, so he still knows the general operation of the entire Maoshan Corner.
He still knows whether the ideas these people come up with are useful or not.
He shook his head and looked around, then looked at Tang Ping who didn't speak and asked, "Jack, why don't you tell me?"
Tang Ping smiled sheepishly and said, "Your Highness, I'm a newbie here and I don't know much about the situation..."
"Okay, don't deal with these falsehoods. If I speak widely, I won't be punished for my words. Look at these guys, what bad ideas have they come up with? Didn't I blame them? You can say whatever comes to mind."
"Then... I'll just say a few random words." Tang Ping pretended to collect his thoughts, and then said: "I just heard what you all said, if the prince goes to mobilize troops, he can only mobilize twenty warships at most. ."
Zhen Yougan nodded. As a prince, he only had so much power, but he heard that General Na Rong could dispatch one or two hundred warships at will even without his father's order!
This is why he is so eager to make contributions.
"Since the prince can't mobilize troops by himself, why not ask someone to help the prince mobilize troops."
"Who do you want to invite? I'm in the court... I... shouldn't the ministers in the court know about this?"
Zhen Youqian originally wanted to say that no one in the court would help him do such a treacherous thing, but he took it back when he spoke.
"If we can mobilize so many warships, I am afraid that only General Rong can do it, so naturally we should ask General Rong."
