Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

"Emperor, go back! I'm going to board the battleship." Li Shimin said a little domineeringly and could not refuse.

"Yes!!" Although Li Tai said in his mouth, he didn't move his feet, silently watching Li Shimin's back gradually board the battleship.

As the battleship stowed the gangway, the anchor flag was waved.

"Ka Ka Ka." With a loud noise, the huge and heavy iron chain was pulled up from the water.

"Woo~呵." The sound of a flute reminded me, countless white steam spewed out, and the battleship Intrepid slowly sailed out of the Kowloon Naval Base.

Li Tai looked up at Li Shimin who was standing on the deck, and watched him go.

With the departure of the first ship, the remaining nine warships followed closely behind, and countless people watching were shocked and exclaimed.

"Come out, come out, the Dreadnought fleet is out."

"It's such a big battleship. You can't see anyone when you look up. It's at least eight meters high."

"With such a powerful warship, Datang will surely win!"

Countless people onlookers said excitedly that Datang would win.

The big and small families watched Li Shimin board the ship.

Those who participated in the food donation had golden eyes and said happily: "I donated a lot of food this time, I'm afraid I will get rich after returning from this expedition."

There were also people who were a step late and failed to donate, and sighed all over their faces: "It's too late to donate food. I'm afraid we won't be able to earn the spoils this time."

Some even said regretfully: "I knew that there were so many warships in the Tang Dynasty, and I would have sold my family's land at the beginning."

Among the crowd, there were only two people who behaved differently, and that was Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda and a kind of great Confucianism were looking at the clouds in the steam condensed city, and they couldn't hide their loneliness.

"The Tang Dynasty has completely changed, where is the way for Confucianism?"

"The road is under your feet!" Kong Zhiyue said lightly.

The faces of the great Confucians were constantly changing, and finally turned into a long sigh. How can it be so simple to change!

And Chu Suiliang on the side is writing hard to record this historic moment.

[In the 15th year of Zhenguan, the world has changed drastically.

Goguryeo Quan Gai Jin is the master, and Baekje King Uija is on the throne; the two countries are the same as the Wa Kingdom, Fuyu Kingdom, and the four countries sent troops to Silla, treating the Treaty of the Tang Dynasty as nothing.

When all nations came to court, Goguryeo was fierce and humiliated, and Baekje never paid tribute, and none of them respected the upper kingdom, and their hearts could be punished.

As a shame, in order to maintain the clan system of Shangguo, the Holy Majesty took precautions to destroy Goguryeo and use the authentic system.

Establish the National Academy, select thousands of craftsmen, learn science, and invent many incredible technological creations.

One of them is a battleship. Before seeing its true face, it heard the sound of the flute and saw white smoke.When you witness it with your own eyes, it is like a mountain, unrivaled and extremely powerful.

The second is the cannon. Although it is not very attractive, it is only a hundred catties of steel, but it contains heaven and earth. It is equipped with explosives, stuffed with iron balls, ignited with flint, and there is a thunderous explosion, and the cannon target is turned into ruins. Its power is infinite.

Although the boat is strong and the guns are sharp, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

Therefore, the Holy One recruited [-] brave warriors to attack Goguryeo, and hired [-] Confucian scholars to serve as officials in order to take over Goguryeo officials.

Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the Holy Majesty personally marched, and all the people were united. The people shouted in unison that the Tang Dynasty will win, and the Holy Majesty said that he will return in triumph.

Immediately, the Dreadnought Fleet set out from Jiulongtan. It was unstoppable and mighty in all directions. The people all said that the Tang Dynasty would surely win. 】

Chapter 166

"The speed is so fast, you can't see it all at once!"

"Of course, I heard that the speed of warships can travel thousands of miles a day, and it only takes about ten days to reach Laizhou from Chang'an."

"Ten days, that's really fast. In normal times, don't even think about it for three to five months."

"From my point of view, I am afraid that within two months, the Holy Majesty will be able to return from Goguryeo triumphantly."

"Indeed, with Dreadnoughts, Datang is already invincible."

The gathered people gradually dispersed as the fleet left.

At this time, the Kowloon Naval Base seemed extra quiet and empty without the docking of warships.

"Go, go back to the palace!!"

Surrounded by guards, Li Tai left the Kowloon Naval Base and returned to the palace.

The golden roof of the palace, the vermilion lacquer red door, and three plaques 'Tai Chi Hall' hung on the gate. '

This is the place where civil and military officials go to court, and it is also the place where the emperor issues orders.

The guard pushed open the door, and what Li Tai saw was the dragon chair carved with gold lacquer and dragon on the nine steps.

This symbolizes supreme power.

It is rumored that if you want to sit on the dragon chair, you must be the emperor of the real dragon, otherwise there will be disasters if the virtue is not worthy.

After taking it, there are really many people who dare not sit on the dragon chair, such as Yuan Shikai and Cixi.

After Li Shimin left, Li Tai, as the prince, took over as supervisor of the country. If he wanted to supervise the country, he had to give corresponding powers.

The usual way is to take out a Ssangyong seal and distribute it to the country supervisor. This seal can also mobilize the army.

This means having great power.

Except for the emperor, no one can sit on the dragon chair, but the supervisor of the country can put another chair aside.

Li Tai walked up the nine stairs step by step, feeling like he was stepping on cotton, his steps were weak, and he carefully sat on his high chair.

In an instant, the whole person seemed to have fallen into the clouds and mist, and the whole body was floating, and he had already forgotten where he was.

At this moment, Li Tai is under the control of Datang, from civil and military officials to Liming common people, all belong to Li Tai.

After an unknown amount of time, the eunuch at the side reminded: "Your Highness, it's time to deal with the government affairs!!"

"Huh?" Li Tai frowned and stared.

It's not that my ass is still hot, you urged me to deal with the government affairs, it's outrageous! ? ?

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. This is the schedule specified by the Holy Majesty before leaving, and I am asked to supervise Your Highness."

The eunuch took out a piece of paper in a panic, handed it to Li Tai with shaking hands.

"Huh???" Li Tai narrowed his eyes and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.

what's going on?This Li Er left and arranged my schedule, and sent someone to supervise me?

This... this is playing with a hammer! !

Li Tai grabbed it, swept it quickly, and took a breath.

Get up early at 5 o'clock in the morning to practice martial arts for two hours. After breakfast, you have to correct and deal with political affairs.

Then, after lunch, you can sleep for an hour, then deal with politics, and continue into the evening.

After the evening, I continued to correct the memorials, and I had to correct all the political affairs of the day as much as possible.

[-]st, [-]rd, and [-]th revise the memorial, [-]nd, [-]th, visit the ministers or inspect the people, a small court meeting in seven days, a big court meeting in half a month....

Basically life belongs to three points and one line, going to court, dealing with political affairs, eating...

Oh my god! !Is this the life of being an emperor?

Li Tai was quite speechless. He looked left and right, and after searching for a long time, he couldn't see the holiday. Looking horizontally and vertically, there were only two words: hard work.

Li Tai squirmed his mouth, but didn't say a word, this is worse than 597!

He seems to understand why most of the emperors are short-lived, which is too desperate!

Li Tai asked quite speechlessly: "What's today's schedule?"

"Today's schedule is to inspect cotton planting!"

"Inspect cotton?"

During the scientific expedition in February, the Wujia caravan went to Gaochang with the Gaochang tribute team, and lived up to expectations by trading a large amount of cotton and cotton seeds with colored glaze.

In order to plant in time, Li Shimin also specially used warships to transport and transport them back to China.

This move almost scared King Gaochang to pee, and also aroused the ideas of countless families in Datang.

After all, isn't it a good thing that anyone who can use a warship wants something that Li Shimin can use?

For a time, countless families in Chang'an heard the news and wanted to grow cotton.

Because of the difficulty of obtaining it, cotton was an extremely luxurious flower, only available to fairly wealthy families.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was not how much gold was compared to show off wealth, but how much pepper and cotton there were in the home.

"Your Highness is here!" The eunuch led Li Tai to a remote field.

Seeing Li Tai's arrival, the steward here hurriedly led several people forward to salute.

"I see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Well, how is the cotton growing here?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the cotton is growing very well." The steward said with a bitter expression on his face, "It's just that the cotton is really attractive to insects."

Li Tai glanced over, and saw that many Bodhisattvas and Silla servants were burying their heads in the fields weeding and pest control.

The cotton plant has grown to about one meter, and I like it very much. It seems that buds will grow in a few months.

"Just get some pesticides!!"

"Your Highness? What are pesticides?" The steward asked a little confused.

"Well... I will let Li Yan tell you later."

It was only then that Li Tai remembered that there was no concept of pesticides at this time, but there were similar methods, such as the common use of sulfur and lime.

The most common and practical ones are actually boiling water with foxtail grass and nuxychon seeds, which are used to poison and kill insects.

If nothing else, we should be able to harvest a large amount of cotton this year.

Li Tai looked at it with relief: "We must take good care of the cotton fields."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely take care of this cotton field!" The steward assured Li Tai.

"Yeah." Li Tai simply stayed for a while and consoled the officials here.

Then I went to Li Yan, and the pesticide still needs to be researched.

------

Meanwhile, aboard the Dreadnought.

Xue Rengui and countless soldiers are watching the fleeting scenery through the glass of the cabin.

A kind of expectation and confusion about the future, with the troubled parting melancholy, surged into everyone's heart.

But Xue Rengui frowned, he wanted to return home with wealth, to be famous all over the world, and to make contributions.

But now it seems so difficult!

That's right. Difficult.

When he saw the battleship, Xue Rengui's three views were shattered, and Fang Tian almost couldn't hold his halberd securely.

The whole boat is actually made of steel, this... what a luxury it is!

He looked at the battleship, and at the white horse that had been with him for many years.

I had a decisive epiphany, what kind of a real man rides a white horse, and it is majestic to drive a battleship! !

When he walked into the interior of the battleship, he felt the huge and crowded interior, as if he was in a village with thousands of households.

That night, he held his Fang Tian painted halberd, and vowed that he would stand out with his martial arts, become a general, and sail a battleship.

But soon, Da Pao subverted his three views again.

It turns out that there is another weapon in this world called a cannon, which can kill enemies thousands of miles away!

Xue Rengui looked at the cannons on other people's backs and the shells in their hands, and instantly felt that his Fang Tian's painted halberd...was not good.

After understanding the operation and power of the cannon, I instantly felt useless.

It is really easy to operate the cannon. You only need to follow the command to adjust the angle, put the gun first and then the bullet, and cover your ears after ignition.

This is really simple and a bit too much, as long as you are not a fool, you can do it, and the power is far beyond martial arts! !
