Even so, even if Li Hong dilly-dallyed and stopped along the way, when he arrived in Quanzhou, the entire voyage only took nine days.
Moreover, there were two storms in the past nine days, but because of the rich experience in the last naval battle with the Japanese country and Li Chunfeng's understanding of the deep sea, they did not lose their way when sailing at night this time.
Similarly, the two warships were able to remain intact despite being floated up and down like a solitary boat on the rough sea.
Since that day, Li Chunfeng's mood has become more excited, and he is full of expectations and confidence for his future voyage.
The battleship slowly sailed into Quanzhou Port. Li Chunfeng, who was standing on the bow, saw a familiar five-tooth battleship at a glance. In his eyes, the current five-tooth battleship was simply a weak existence.
But the five-tooth warship docked in the port not far away does not appear to be equipped with any weapons. It looks more like a cruise ship.
"Your Highness, what is...?" Li Chunfeng asked in shock as his mind flashed back to the five-tooth battleship he had seen when he led Fu Zhu, Suzaku and Xuanwu to Hangzhou.
"I won't go to the Quanzhou Administrative Office. There are some things I need to deal with in Hangzhou. It's up to you to make the decision here. As for your big navigation plan, you can take away the Fuzhu and Xuanwu, including the special supply ship under construction. Ship, um..." Li Hong raised his head and thought for a while, then continued: "Remember what I told you yesterday, you must bring everything back to me! It depends on you whether the people of the Tang Dynasty can completely escape hunger and famine. ”
Li Chunfeng's beard was gray, and due to the exposure to wind and sun while sailing at sea during this period, he was like a waning old man. After listening to Li Hong's words, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier than he had imagined.
He naturally knew that His Royal Highness spared no effort to support him in completing his dream of a great voyage, not only to fulfill his interests in navigation, wind power, etc., but also for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
And in this great voyage, which was entirely led by His Highness the Crown Prince, there was no trace of His Highness the Crown Prince's personal selfishness, and there was no trace of His Highness the Crown Prince deliberately being pretentious for his own sake.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I, Li Chunfeng, lived in confusion for the first half of his life. Although he was keen on astrology, astronomy, etc., and wrote many books, compared with what he is going to do now, for the first time, I feel that I am important to the imperial court. I also I feel what kind of responsibility I have to shoulder, and I understand even more what His Highness expects from me. I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Li Chunfeng stood on the deck and faced Li Hong with a grand salute.
"This is the best thing. In a few years, if there are no new things and no continuous creativity in Datang, it will reach a bottleneck. By then, I am afraid that everyone will be proud and complacent and lose the motivation to continue to work hard. , in that case, we should be chased by the four barbarians and narrow the gap with us. Therefore, we must inject new vitality into the Tang Dynasty, bring the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level, and maintain the strength we have now. They will never be able to catch up with us!" Li Hong sighed worriedly as he looked at Li Chunfeng, who was now in his seventies.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about whether Lian Po is old enough or not. This time I have opened my eyes with you. After this enjoyable naval battle, I feel much younger. Not to mention that I still have ideals and ambitions. , How can you give up this humble body so easily?" Li Chunfeng's gray beard looked even sparser when the wind blew it.
"Then it couldn't be better." Li Hong looked at the port where boats were coming and going, and looked at the Five-Tooth Battleship getting closer and closer. He had his hands behind his back, looking a little confused and worried, and murmured: "Golden Zun Sake Dou" Ten thousand, the jade plate is so shameful that I can't eat it. I draw my sword and look around, feeling confused. I'm about to climb the snow-covered mountains of Taihang. I'm fishing in the blue stream, and I'm dreaming about the sun again. The journey is difficult! The journey is difficult! Where are you now?”
"Your Highness..." Li Chunfeng couldn't figure out why His Highness suddenly recited such a poem, and it seemed that there was still one sentence left unsaid, right
"There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, so we can hang our sails and sail across the sea. Let's encourage each other." Li Hong patted Li Chunfeng on the shoulder and said with a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, you... Why don't you wait until things in Hangzhou calm down a little before leaving..."
"No, we can't delay the Tang Dynasty's continued creation of a hundred years of prosperity just because of a few short nights. Too much time has been wasted fighting against Japan. Besides, what's the use of staying here?" Li Hong said with a smile, and then he saw that At the cabin door in the distance, a head looked furtively this way.
Li Chunfeng nodded helplessly. He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had the world in mind and had ideals and ambitions that even he needed to look up to. However, things in Hangzhou were becoming more and more chaotic nowadays, so His Highness the Crown Prince could not help but feel a little discouraged. In order to vent the anger in his heart , this is why such a masterpiece was created.
Princess Dalai had been secretly eavesdropping since last night when she was talking to Li Chunfeng alone. Even this morning, she even pretended to be polite and ran up to her to talk to her.
But when she learned that Li Hong planned to order Li Chunfeng to sail the sea, Princess Dalai left indifferently. Although she was interested in sailing, Li Hong would not tell her more.
So she guessed, by releasing the old general next to her, was this hateful man planning to harm someone else
Or is it to deal with the princess they talked quietly with last night? Is there any other King Cao Li Ming
By the way, there seem to be a few more people, but I can't remember their names. These people are all people I must win over. If I win over the forces of the Tang Dynasty that oppose him, then it is possible to realize the plan with Mr. Baibu. Woolen cloth.
Princess Dalai was leaning against the side of the cabin, unconsciously making her own little calculations. The Princess Qian Jin, King Cao Li Ming and others mentioned by the hateful person must be very powerful, right? At least in the Tang Dynasty, he should have some power, right
Otherwise, after receiving the secret letter from Hai Dongqing yesterday and naming a few people, he would have become a little depressed and gloomy when he woke up early this morning.
The princess of Japan, who was secretly making small calculations in her mind, didn't notice anyone approaching her at all. It wasn't until she felt her earlobes feel hot, as if there was a stream of hot air tickling her ears, that she unconsciously reached out to scratch her ears, but she just stretched out her hand. Then he met a face.
So after Princess Dalai's hands froze in the air for a moment, she was so frightened that she immediately jumped up, screamed and ran forward two steps before she dared to look back and see what was happening behind her.
When she saw Li Hong looking at her with a wicked smile on her face, Princess Dalai suddenly turned into a fierce look, puffing out her cheeks and glaring at Li Hong fiercely: "I'm going to die, you're going to scare people to death."
As she spoke, she patted her chest with lingering fear. Her beautiful eyes rolled an angry look at Li Hong. However, in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the series of actions of this Japanese princess not only did not appear scary, but actually Looks a little cute.
"Didn't some people eavesdrop on other people's conversations last night? Why did they forget their evil deeds in the blink of an eye?" Li Hongshi walked up to Princess Dalai calmly and asked with an evil smile. .
"I didn't. I just happened to pass by, okay? I don't care to listen to your conversation. Who knows if you let the general in your hand go out again and prepare to harm which country? Hmph!" Princess Dalai did not give in and tried her best. It satirizes Li Hong’s hegemonic thoughts!
Li Hong chuckled and did not refute. He just wanted to exercise hegemony. At the very least, the barbarians around the Tang Dynasty would be filled with fear when they mentioned the Tang Dynasty.
"Pack up your own things, we will go north in a while." Li Hong watched Lawless leading a few soldiers, packing up all his things, and preparing to board the Wuya warship and head north as soon as the warship docked.
"Going north? Don't you want me to see your powerful shipyard? Don't you want me to see the wealth of your Tang Dynasty?" Princess Dalai was stunned. She was bragging to herself two days ago, how could the Tang Dynasty be so prosperous? As soon as we docked, we had to take ourselves north instead of setting foot on land.
"Look at the way these ships are coming and going. Do you think you, a small Japanese country, can compete with you?" Li Hong pointed to other ships docking. In addition to the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty, there were also other foreign countries. The Yi's ships, pulling cargo one by one, slowly moved toward the shore under the command of Datang Shipping Department.
Today, Datang has seven busy ports. From south to north, there are seven large ports: Jiaozhou Port, Guangzhou Port, Quanzhou Port, Fuzhou Port, Mingzhou Port, Yangzhou Port, and Dengzhou Port. Every day Naturally, there are boats coming and going, making it a lively scene.
When Princess Dalai heard Li Hong's proud words, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. Not to mention other ports, this Quanzhou Port already surprised her greatly.
This bustling scene of ships coming and going is definitely a rare sight in the Japanese country. It would be great if... it would be great if the Japanese country also had so many merchants or goods, Princess Dalai thought with envy in her heart.
But before the sour taste in her heart dissipated, another sour taste began to spread rapidly in her heart.
Just when the Fu Zhu boat docked, she saw a beautiful fairy who seemed to have just descended into the mortal world. Surrounded by several people, she slowly stood next to the Fu Zhu boat.
The white dress is as beautiful as the snow, the beautiful hair like a waterfall, the exquisite cheeks, the tall and graceful figure, the indifferent and fairy-like appearance, quietly standing on the shore, looking at... With….
Princess Dalai glanced at the fairy-like woman looking at her with a smile, and her heart became even more sour. No way, this fairy-like woman could not be his woman, right? How can it be? It’s so beautiful!
Princess Da Lai looked at the smiling hateful person, and then at the fairy who made her blush and her heart beat. Then she lowered her head with a sense of inferiority, and her heart was filled with a battle between conviction and disbelief.
