Great Tang Southern Emperor

Do you really think that no one else can think of Wuzhuang Temple?

Poor you idiot, being taken advantage of.

"Don't, don't, I just shut up." Wang Fangyi shut up quickly. He didn't have a salary in the first place, and if he lost the chance to go to the battlefield, his credit would really be emptied——The King's Bank is still very humane in this regard Yes, if the borrower fails to repay the amount owed for the current month due to business affairs, the bank can temporarily record this account and wait for the borrower to come back.

If the business is dangerous, such as going to the battlefield, the monthly quota can still be emptied, and the bill will start to be moved back. When the borrower comes back, the settlement will start again. If he dies in the battlefield, he will never be able to return. Come, then the bank can also waive the interest, and only recover the principal, which can be regarded as a humanitarian policy.

This is also the reason why Wang Fangyi immediately begged for mercy. He borrowed a sum of money from Wangwang Bank last year due to something, and agreed to repay the money in [-] months. Monthly repaying the interest owed to the bank, now Li Zhen has somehow fined him a month's salary for unknown reasons, which directly caused his capital chain to break.

If Li Zhen disqualifies him from going to the battlefield again, not only will he not be able to repay the bank money this month, but he will also have to eat dirt himself—God knows how happy he is after hearing about this Cuanren rebellion, because there is a war , he can go to the battlefield. As long as he goes to the battlefield, he can make meritorious service. Once he makes meritorious service, he can get a reward. With the reward, he can pay off the debt in advance...

"Really."

Ignoring the people around who were holding back their smiles, Li Zhen said awkwardly: "But no matter what, Wang Fangyi's method is still very good. Meiniang and the others will stay in Wuzhuang Temple for the time being. As for the matter of the palace, let's do it that way." .”

"No."

Li Zhen originally planned to take this opportunity to fool the past, but he obviously underestimated these people under him, and was immediately opposed by Xue Rengui: "Since Wuzhuang Temple can be used as your highness's temporary residence, your highness can naturally Those who live in, why only let the princess and the others stay in?"

"I... can't you let me go out?"

Pei Xingjian couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, safety is paramount. For His Highness's safety, please be wronged for a while. After the subordinates have wiped out Cuan Ren, they will clean up Yuezhou again. Then, Your Highness, you can come out." .”

"No." This time it was Li Zhen's turn to refuse. Cuan Ren is not worth mentioning, but the terrain of Shiwan Dashan is too abnormal, not to mention that Cuan Ren blew up the road into the mountain, which brought infinite difficulties to the counter-insurgency. Difficulties.

According to the calculations of the staff department, even if everything goes well, it will take at least three months for the Boys' Army to destroy the Cuanren. By then, the battle in Tianzhu will probably be almost over.

Let Li Zhen stay in the palace for another three months, he will really go crazy.

"It's a big deal, I just go out to sea by boat, and take the emperor to go out to sea to get some air. Is this the head office?" Seeing that they didn't retreat an inch, Li Zhen had no choice but to take a step back and throw out her bottom line: "Sea vision The Emperor is extremely fast, and the Yuezhou Fleet will equip me with a few warships, under such strict protection, no one should trouble me, right?"

"Well, if that's the case, the subordinates have no objections."

Several people looked at each other and knew that this was Li Zhen's final bottom line, so they all agreed. What's more, what Li Zhen said was also very reasonable. If the arrangements were really made according to what he said, it would be really safe .At least no force in the world can get close to Li Zhen under the escort of the battleship.

Unless there is a natural disaster, there is basically no danger.At this time, it is the middle of winter, and although the sea is not calm, compared with the turmoil in summer, it is undoubtedly much more stable. The Emperor can even ride through the stormy waves smoothly, and the current sea is naturally even more difficult. question.

"In that case, then so be it. The war will proceed according to your plan. I will prepare to go to sea." With their consent, Li Zhen immediately turned ruthless and waved away people.

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

"Really, haven't you guys thought about it? Why do I take the Emperor's ship instead of my ship when I go to sea?" Li Zhen took a breath, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth—the young master only said that I I'm going to sea, but you didn't say where I'm going, did you?You must know that Luzhou (located in the area where Fangchenggang City and Qinzhou City are now), is a port city. It is the place where the rebellion first broke out. Come back and have a good time.

"Hahaha, I'm finally free." Li Zhen was very happy, after holding back for so long, she could finally relax.

As long as I go out to sea, can you control where I want to go?

Chapter 823 Departure

Chapter 185 Departure

With this in mind, Li Zhen hummed a song and began to arrange.

Under his order, the Emperor and three merchant ships of more than [-] tons were launched, and a large amount of materials began to be loaded.

And these four merchant ships, among the thousand ships sent back by Wang Dewei, are only four ships that have been fully sealed. Not only the tung oil has been painted, but even the raw lacquer has been painted no less than three times. As long as you don't hit the rocks or encounter a typhoon, there is basically no danger.

As for the battleships, Li Zhen also brought as many as five ships, all of which are three-tier sailing battleships—the first ship of the Zonghai-class battleship, Zonghai, the second ship Dinghai, the third ship Pinghai, and the fourth ship Minghai As well as the fifth ship Weihai, each battleship has seventy or eighty artillery pieces, and the five ships add up to three or four hundred pieces—such a powerful firepower, if fired in salvo, even an island can be easily torn apart .

Seeing the cannons on the two decks with their heads held high, Li Zhen was extremely excited—as expected, battleships are the romance of men.What kind of aircraft carrier, what kind of submarine, in front of the battleship, ugly, it is simply weak.

The third-tier battleships are already so powerful, I really want to see the earth-shaking battleships firing thousands of guns.

It's a pity that the efficiency of crossing the ship is too slow (Zheng Yintao feels wronged and wants to cry: it's already fast, okay?), and it will take at least two years to see a first-class battleship.

It is said that from this time last year to this time this year, it has been more than a year. The first batch of Zonghai-class outfitting has been completed long ago, and even the second and third batches have been delivered to the navy. The main body of the two ships has also been completed. Next, as long as the outfitting is completed, and after a month of sea trials, they can also be delivered to the navy.

In addition to the Dengzhou Shipyard, Quanzhou Shipyard and those medium-sized shipyards, the number of vertical and horizontal warships has reached more than 100, and the first batch of bills issued by Li Zhen can also be completed-of course, the bills are delivered. This does not mean that you can rest after crossing the ship. After the first batch of construction is completed, Datang will not be short of warships in a short time, but the design of the second-level battleship has also been completed, and the trial construction can begin. The first-level battleship is also started. designed.

At the same time, the third-tier battleships cannot stop. After all, the third-tier battleships are the main battleships of Datang, and it is impossible for Datang to have only three fleets. Counting at least thirty Tier [-] battleships, the number is far from enough.

However, not all of these more than 100 warships are equipped with the Yuezhou Fleet and the Dengzhou Fleet, because Li Zhen is already building the Quanzhou Fleet, and more than 30 of them are the capital ships of the Quanzhou Fleet, just because the Quanzhou Fleet is still being formed. Among them, all ships are temporarily entrusted to the Yuezhou Fleet.

The Yuezhou Fleet is not a good bird. Seeing such a good thing, they quickly sealed up their own ship, but took the Quanzhou Fleet's ship and ruined it.

So that after the Quanzhou Fleet recruited manpower, when they came to Yuezhou to pull the boat, they found that their boat had turned into a 100% new one, which made them very angry. Li Zhen came forward and replaced a batch of new ships for the Quanzhou Fleet, which blocked the Quanzhou Fleet's anger, but the two fleets also had conflicts because of this, and there was no communication within [-] years.

Fortunately, the Yuezhou Fleet did not have the guts to fool Li Zhen. The five ships they escorted this time were all new ships that they had just launched from the shipyard, and they were all manned by veterans who had been to Luzon. The elites ensure that even a fully armed fleet on the opposite side will not be easily defeated.

Three days passed quickly, and the Prince's Mansion had temporarily moved to Wuzhuang Temple. The abbot Li Chunfeng warmly welcomed this, and he even planned that once this matter passed, he would immediately move the place where Li Zhen's family lived. The place is sealed up, and when Li Zhen ascends the throne in the future, then the emperor will be here, and he will be able to rise to a higher level immediately, which is a joy.

"You all go back, don't send them off." Yuezhou Wharf welcomes and sends them off every day, and parting is the most helpless place.

Today, as usual, another farewell was ushered in, but this time the person who left became Li Zhen, and the person who sent him off became Wu Meiniang and officials of Yuezhou.

"Your Highness, you have to go early and come back early. Be careful, don't be brave when you encounter danger, and know how to protect yourself." Wu Meiniang was reluctant to let go. She grew up with Li Zhen and was his pillow. , I know Li Zhen's character too well, don't look at Li Zhen's nice words, this time I went out just to relax, but Wu Meiniang dared to bet that if Li Zhen didn't do anything when she went out this time, then she would dare to put the whole The Kaiser was eaten.That's why Wu Meiniang didn't clamor to go with Li Zhen, otherwise, at other times, Li Zhen would take her with her without Wu Meiniang telling her.

In fact, Xue Rengui also understood Li Zhen's urination, but he also understood that it was Li Zhen's bottom line at that time. If he and others did not agree, then maybe Li Zhen could do something to run away from home Come on, Li Zhen's situation will be even more dangerous at that time, if something happens, it will be really bad.Instead of this, it would be safer to agree to Li Zhen's request and put him under his nose.

"Don't worry, Meiniang, don't you know my ability?" Li Zhen smiled and took off her cloak, put it on Wu Meiniang, and said with a smile: "I won't say anything about Li FG, it's unlucky, anyway , I have your words in mind, and I will pay attention."

"Well, the concubine is waiting for His Royal Highness to return from victory." Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly. This time, in the prince's harem, she was the only one who came to see Li Zhen off. Li Zhen, the main reason is that among Li Zhen's young ladies, some of them are very fragile. If they are allowed to come, they may cry again--the army is going out, and there are women crying next to it, which is very uncomfortable. Auspicious things will bring bad luck to the army.

"Then I'm leaving." Li Zhen laughed loudly, waved her hand, and boarded the boat with her five thousand elites.

"Your Highness, take care all the way." Wu Meiniang took out a white handkerchief from nowhere and waved it in the air.

Li Zhen almost fell down, white handkerchief?Are you too possessed by a real person?

Li Zhen subconsciously thought of the action in "Ten Colds" where the real Tai 2 sent Nezha to wave a white handkerchief...inexplicably embarrassing.

"Meiniang, take care too." Li Zhen hurriedly replied, and quickly boarded the boat, fearing that she would lose her composure next time.

Chapter 824 Ning Yuan

186 Zhongzhang Ningyuan

After boarding the ship, Li Zhen did not go directly to the Emperor, but to the Ningyuan.

Among the four merchant ships, except for the [-]-ton Emperor, the remaining three [-]-ton ships are all of the same class—the Ningyuan class, which are Ningyuan, Liaoyuan, and Anyuan. The sister ship of the series, which is a mass-produced product.

Looking at the Ningyuan ship under her feet, Li Zhen sighed inexplicably. This is a very classic merchant ship with fast speed, large cargo capacity and strong survivability. , the kind that basically won't lose money.Even if you encounter pirates, there is basically no danger. As long as you drop the cargo, the pirate ship may not be able to run past it.

Under the circumstances that the production cost of cargo ships above [-] tons is too high and the output cannot be too large, this Ningyuan-class merchant ship is destined to become the representative work of Datang's future freight merchant ships, and it may also be the pinnacle work—— Because the Ningyuan class is so perfect, if it wasn't for naval warfare at the beginning of the design, Li Zhen would have wanted to refit all of them into battleships.

What Li Zhen didn't know was that his guess became a proverb, because as he said, ships of the Emperor class and above are all commercial and war ships, and even in the end, the Emperor class was simply built into a warship .

Since then, merchant ships with a displacement of more than [-] tons have been very rare, and merchant ships of the [-]-ton class have almost become the pinnacle of freight merchant ships in the age of sail. The cost of the ship is much higher, almost double the cost for every additional kiloton class. However, the cost of the ship doubles, but the cargo capacity does not increase too much. Therefore, in the mid-term, merchants are already very There are fewer orders for merchant ships of more than [-] tons. Even if there are orders, they will be used as the flagship of the fleet.
