Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1303

[Chapter 950 Invincible Fleet Lian Tianhai]

“Wind direction: southwest, wind speed: 5. The underwater situation is unknown, and it is not easy for large boats to dock. Launch small boats and pay attention to the wake.” On

the boat closest to the shore, there was a sailfish signal from the observation deck.

There are a hundred small boats in the large boat line immediately. Each big boat disembarks two small boats, four meters long and two meters wide. Eight people sit on each small boat, waving their oars to the shore. Sail away, there is still something covered with canvas on the boat.

There were more than 9,000 ships anchored in the sea about 200 miles away from a thousand ships, including 2,000 gunboats.

This is all the naval combat power that Datang can bring out. Over the years, a total of 3,000 gunboats have been built, 200 of which are kept in the country and 500 are used for cruising. Where there is a Datang merchant ship, there is a Datang gunboat. All the others have been sent here.

The same gunboats will not be built in the future. Very few new gunboats will be built. Generally, two or three boats will be built, and they will be trained in the sea and lakes, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and summarize the technology.

If there is a need, so the large shipyard will start at the same time.

The other ships parked on the sea were troop transport ships and supply ships. There were 200,000 soldiers in this landing operation. For a long time, they could not get supplies from the country, and they also needed to carry livestock for transportation.

10,000 ships sounds like a number, and when you look at it, you will never compare the number to that kind of situation on the sea.

There were already merchant ships going further afield, and when they saw the ships on the sea, the people on the ships ran and shouted.

“Boss, boss, hurry up. Come out and watch the ship.” A merchant ship called ‘Lian Tang’ was returning to Datang along the sea road by the shore. The watchman on the mast, through the telescope, saw the sea ahead the scene, shouting down at the top of his throat, crawling down the mast while shouting.

“What do you call? Xiaodong, when will you be able to stabilize your focus? Since you left Datang, you have never stopped. You call when you see fish, and you call when you see seabirds. Watch the boat. We are already on the boat, not I have never seen a ship, is it my Tang Dynasty merchant ship or a escort ship?”

In a makeshift wooden hut on the deck, one person is rolling noodles there, and there is a wooden shelf next to it. Three very small children are drawn on the paper. It can be seen from the clothes that they are two men and one woman. .

Hearing the watchman shouting, he quickly added some cold water to the pot.

Shout back.

The man he called Xiaodong had slipped down from the mast very quickly and stood at the door.

First sniff: “Boss, oh, it’s the captain, you make noodles for me again. There are boats, and there are many boats.”

“Who made them for you? There’s not much you can eat from the noodles brought from the Tang Dynasty. ,

I made two bites by myself, and when I got home, the three babies were pestering me, and I couldn’t eat a safe meal. They were less than one year old when I came out. When I went back, I was three years old, which is naughty. It’s

time.”

The captain of the noodle maker looked at the drawing on the paper, narrowed his eyes and said, suddenly stared again: “Xiaodong, I told you a hundred times, hang the telescope around your neck, you have to put a rope Take it off, and it will fall into the sea. I won’t give you a proof when you go back, and see how the government will deal with you.”

“Boss, don’t worry, look. I have a rope attached to my waist, and I can’t sling it around my neck. After a long time, my neck is all torn, boss, oh, captain, I said ship, if you don’t believe me, take a look at the telescope for a while, it will frighten people to death.”

Xiaodong pulled the telescope, and sure enough, a rope was attached to his waist, Every big ship has two of these things, one is held by the captain, and the other is given to the watchman. When they come out, they will file a record. Even if they are broken, they must bring the fragments to the state-level government for inspection. If they are lost, no one can prove them. Treat the enemy with capital.

The captain was not in a hurry. He had no idea what the scene would be like. He only thought that there was a larger merchant fleet who wanted to ‘meet’ with his small fleet here, and then greeted each other and went their separate ways.

Then you can see it in a while, but it is important to eat the noodles made from the noodles brought from Datang first.

The noodles take a long time before they are put into the pot, and the time until they are cooked is shorter. After a few minutes, the noodles are ready, and they are served in cold water. The captain took another can, opened it, and scooped out a few spoonfuls of watercress. Sauce, take a bowl and eat first, nodding excitedly.

“It’s delicious, or the noodles from my hometown and the sauce from my hometown are delicious. What are you looking at me for? I want to eat it myself and wait for me to serve you?”

“Captain, you are really great.” Xiaodong ran over happily and picked it out by himself. Then he put the sauce, lowered his head a few times and stuffed it into half a bowl, raised his head, and rubbed his mouth hard as if enjoying himself: “Captain, I just remembered, more than a month ago, Douzi was sick and wanted to eat fried noodles. You took out a can of doubanjiang and said it was the last one. Today…could it be…I was dreaming?”

“Yes, now that I woke up from the dream, show it to me, and you still have it? I did it all in all. So, that sauce, aren’t you afraid of being too salty?” When the

captain was talking, Xiaodong went to pick out the top of the two chopsticks and put bean paste on the top with all his strength.

“I woke up, boss, I’m going up, you eat slowly, I will continue to feel the might of my Tang fleet.” After two bowls of noodles, Xiaodong poured a full breath of water again, rubbing his hand on his mouth, Deng Deng Deng ran out, leaving only one sentence.

“Liar to me, I don’t even go to see the smallpox, I eat noodles, my son and daughter, wait for my father to go back, and my father will roll noodles for you every day when I go back, and the goods on the five ships are all yours, this is from Xiaobao The goods from Africa, as Cuckoo said, are valuable.” The

captain still sucked his face slowly, and muttered while looking at the three children drawn on the paper.

When he was full, a quarter of an hour passed, and he burped contentedly, looked at the uncooked noodles left, put the can of bean paste in place, and wondered for a while who was lucky and ran over first, When you see it, you can cook it yourself.

Rubbing his stomach and taking the binoculars, the captain also strolled outside, continuing to look at the sea and the blue sky that he had grown tired of seeing. Thinking of Xiaodong’s words, he raised the binoculars and swept forward.

“Ah? There are so many ships, mother, this… This is my Tang Dynasty fleet! I have so many ships in Tang Dynasty?” The captain’s eyes were greeted by one ship after another, with dragon flags flying on them.

As far as the eye can see, except for the boat, it is still a boat, and there is no edge at all. At the end of the connection between the sea and the sky, there is also a faint shadow of the sail of the boat.

The captain was dumbfounded, swallowed hard, and murmured: “What’s going on? Dreaming? No, absolutely not, why did my Tang fleet come here? Who is going to be unlucky? It’s so beautiful, so mighty. Come out, let the captain come out, watch the fleet, I am from the Tang Dynasty.”

After a few words to himself, the captain began to shout to the cabin below the deck, his hands holding the telescope turned white, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He was so excited. Before, he could see the gunboats and supply ships of Datang.

It is also rare to see dozens of army ships appearing at the same time on the dock.

Today is quite enjoyable, his own Datang actually has so many warships.

Gathered together, it can be said to be overwhelming, it is the fleet of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the strength to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The captain pursed his lips tightly and held his chest out, letting the sea breeze blow. He had the urge to cry. The ship in front of him could no longer be called a ship, it was a mountain-like existence.

Continuously, what could be more proud of this!

There were more footsteps on the deck, and when the captain shouted, the crew members who thought something had happened ran out one after another, but they found no danger. Looking forward, they were all stunned.

Even without a telescope.

At this time, they can also see the ships in front, but they can’t see the flags clearly. The nearest ships can see the hull clearly, and there are sails in the distance.

The mast, and further away the ship becomes a small dot, or a black line.

“Uncle, where did you get the boat? There are so many, it’s scary.” A crew member asked with wide eyes after leaning over to the captain’s side.

“Ha! Where did it come from? Under the sky, how can you say there are so many ships? Only I, the Tang Dynasty, oh, I can see clearly, gunboats, is that a gunboat, a gunboat, or a gunboat, a piece of gunboat? Cuckoo Who are Juan and Xiaobao going to clean up?” The

captain can see the configuration of the ship clearly now, the gunboat is obviously different from that of the transport captain, although I can’t see the cannon now, but I can see the wooden board covering the gun outlet on the side of the ship. , The colors are different, and those who are familiar with the Tang gunships understand that when the planks are removed, the cannons will be exposed.

The other ships did not have chord guns, but had a bow gun, and no guns at the stern, indicating that the military ship had no intention of firing guns while escaping, which was an absolute confidence.

His nephew rolled his eyes and reminded: “Uncle, there is a strait in front, a strait that eats many people. Xiaobao and cuckoo eat more food. When we came out, it was only a small-scale friction. I didn’t expect that when we came back It’s already started, it’s definitely not a small battle.”

“I know, a small battle can’t use so many ships, but… there are too many gunboats, enough cannibals to have enough ships to be beaten?” The captain thought hard, and then Zuo suddenly said: “Understood, Xiaobao and Cuckoo are not sending people to fight boats, but to transport troops. Gunboats can fight boats and can also hit the shore, and it’s over with cannibalism.”

“How did it end?” The captain’s nephew couldn’t keep up with the train of thought, so he sent troops, but he had to fight, and went deep into the land, and the gunboat couldn’t get up.

The captain’s nephew, who couldn’t figure it out, didn’t think about it, but admired the approaching team and sighed: “It’s so beautiful, I always heard people say that the cuckoo gunboats break through the waves and form a towering formation, but I can’t think of what it is. In this way, now I know that if I were the enemy, I would simply surrender. This battle cannot be fought. I ca

n’t see anything other than the ship in front of me. After a while, we will pass through the fleet, and it will definitely make people worse.

Shocked

. I have seen the appearance of hundreds of fishing boats dispatched together, and I think it is spectacular enough. How many boats do we have in the Datang fleet now?

The closer you get, the more you can feel the oppression of the motherland’s invincible fleet. They belong to their own Tang Dynasty. Usually, they don’t need to dispatch a lot. One or two gunboats and three or five supply ships are enough to maintain the safety of those who go out.

When something really happened, his own Tang Dynasty would gather so many ships to form an endless fleet. With this armed protection at sea, the world could go anywhere.

“Captain, when we go back, if we encounter other small countries, such as Zhenla or Japanese ships, we will post them to see if they dare to provoke them? My Great Tang’s Armada crushes them.” One of the crew members shouted excitedly. on.

“You swam over to post it yourself, and it was provoked by others. You posted it as a provocation? Our Datang fleet is powerful, and it is not for you to play provocations when you have nothing to do. Don’t spend money? Just dispatch the fleet for you, it’s you. Silly or Xiaobao and Cuanjuan. Or is the emperor stupid?” The

captain glared at the voice and cursed.

“It’s not that Datang is willing to do his best for one person, I am also a member of Datang.” This person was still not convinced.

Immediately, he was greeted with various accusations from the people around him.

“I said the second child of the Chen family, I said that I wouldn’t let you come. You are a heartless person. If you come along, I won’t agree to take you next time.”

“Er fool, I will call you that in the future. If you dare to say that you will do your best, it means that you have encountered a special situation. For example, when you start a war with many countries at the same time, it does not mean that you let the fish bite your dick, and the whole Datang people will come around and take turns to help you knead.”

“You are more than your brother .

It’s really far from your brother. When you encounter two other ships, Datang will have to send you a fleet in front of you? All with you? A patrol boat is enough.”

“Chen Erganzi, you are sick. Ah, get cured.”

“Second child, I wonder, what are you doing to provoke others? You want people’s boats to be filled with valuables. After you provoke, Datang’s armed ships will come to help you. It’s okay to snatch the things. , If there are only stinky fish and rotten shrimp on the boat, you are finished provoking, and our Datang ship will fight for you, but you won’t get any benefits. Do you think you will cause trouble to the Datang army?”

“Brother Chen, you too ? It

‘s not too small…”

“Shut up, Brother Chen, you are my younger brother. Call me directly, you also say me, do you want to kill your relatives righteously?” The person who was told finally found someone to bully.

“Yes, you are my brother, you guys, don’t call me brother, watch the boat.” The man’s younger brother responded.

He quickly defended his brother.

After everyone had finished talking, they stopped teasing the second child of the Chen family, and they all set their sights on Datang’s fleet.

‘Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom…”Woo~~!

Woo~~!

‘

Suddenly there was the sound of drums and horns from the fleet ahead.

And all sorts of small flags slid in tandem, while the sailed ships began to drop their sails.

“Uncle, what are they doing?” the captain’s nephew asked curiously.

The captain was also puzzled. Looking at it, he suddenly found that the clouds in the sky were flying fast. He didn’t care about anything else, and shouted to the surrounding crew: “Quick, let the sails fall, set up the jib, the wind is blowing, come from the side. Yes, don’t look at the boat, if you look at the boat again, it will be blown away.” Then the

crew reacted, and they hurriedly took their places and started to do things. The speed began to drop, and the people on the lookout didn’t stay there any longer and slipped out onto the deck.

After a while, everyone gathered on the foredeck again, and only those who controlled the sails and the helm could not leave their positions.

Normally, when you encounter such a situation at sea, you will be very nervous. Every time you will be worried about an accident, you will not be able to go home, but the people on the boat are very relaxed now.

In front of them is the fleet of their own motherland. If the wind blowing is dangerous enough, it is impossible for the fleet not to send ships to notify their merchant ships. Since no one came to tell them, it means that the degree of wind is not beyond the control of the fleet management department. scope.

In this case, the five ships on your side will enter the fleet in a while, and the fleet will protect itself and others.

The wind began to increase, and the sails of the five merchant ships formed a large angle with the ship. If you only look at the sails, it gives the impression that the ship is walking diagonally. The whistling wind is accompanied by the waves hitting the side of the ship. Don’t worry at all, fix yourself one by one and experience this feeling of riding the wind and waves.

Even though the wind was blowing from the side, the speed of the ship was even faster. Two quarters of an hour later, the five ships on board finally passed the closest armed ship of the Tang Dynasty.

ship rattled, and the officers and men wearing navy uniforms of different categories were saluting the merchant ships. The standard standing posture and neat movements made everyone on the merchant ship burst into tears, one by one. Kind of out of shape.

As they went deeper and deeper into the fleet, they could no longer see the outside, only ships, countless ships, and the neat military salutes of the officers and soldiers on the ships they passed by.

Those uniform movements made the people on the merchant ship feel their blood boiled. What they saw were the majestic warships, the soldiers with fortitude on their faces, the rolling dark clouds, and the hunting flags.

For a while, they felt very at ease, there seemed to be no team in the world that could fight in front of them.

It’s too strong, especially the eyes of the soldiers, from which you can’t see any retreat and weakness.

“Good soldier, when I go back and sell the goods, I will take out 10% of the net profit and send it to the barracks. I can’t be wronged by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. We rely on them for our dignity outside.” The

captain said solemnly.
