Chapter 1,231 Let’s move forward together

Immediately Li Feng explained: "I am not giving up halfway, but I no longer need to stay in Fuso. One and a half years is enough time to lay out the entire Fuso.

As long as I bring a lot of profits from Fuso, the court officials will cause a lot of stir, just like going to sea, it will bring a lot of benefits, and everyone will want to go to sea in the future."

Li Er frowned slightly and said: "I will never allow anyone except the royal family to go to sea to attack other countries."

"Father-in-law, it's better to turn a blind eye to this matter. It will be good for the court." Li Feng said with a smile.

"Benefits?" Li Er frowned slightly, "Why don't I see the benefits?"

Li Feng said: "The only people who have the ability to expand territory are those families with clan soldiers. After they go overseas by ship to occupy a piece of land, they will not let the country be isolated from the rest of the world, so the court will know about it soon.

At that time, it was not a question of what the father-in-law wanted to do with them, whether he wanted to fight or kill them, or simply drive them out of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, a large amount of land left by the aristocratic families belonged to the imperial court.

Or maybe the aristocratic families just want to establish a family overseas and are willing to hand over the land they conquer to the imperial court for management."

Before Li Feng finished speaking, Li Er waved his hand to signal Li Feng not to say any more.

"I understand. You go to Fusang well and make great achievements. I think the Tang Dynasty will spread all over the world."

"Yes. Father-in-law."

…

The next day, Li Feng and Orihime went to Yangzhou, but Li Er and others did not come to see them off.

According to everyone's opinion, since this is Li Feng's own behavior and has nothing to do with the court, no one from the court can send Li Feng off, otherwise they will be misunderstood by the Fusang people, and their early preparations will be in vain.

The only people who came to see Li Feng off were Li Feng's four wives and his old loyal servant Uncle Fu.

Of course, Chai Shao's family also came to send Chai Shao off.

Everyone took a boat to Yangzhou. Thanks to Yang Guang's digging of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, they could go from Chang'an to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Fusang.

On the Grand Canal, two ships were traveling fast; the styles of the two ships were very similar, the only difference was that the flags on the ships were different.

One of the ships hung a chrysanthemum-shaped flag, which was the merchant ship Orihime was traveling on.

On the ship, Orihime looked at the Tang merchant ship that was running alongside Kazuko, and said, "Tsuruda, have you investigated the Tang merchant ship?"

Tsuruta nodded and said: "My subordinates have investigated and found that it was made by Li Feng's shipyard. I have already sent people to study it."

Orihime nodded with satisfaction and said: "You have done a good job. The merchant ships and warships of the Tang Dynasty are really powerful.

I always thought that what Fuso could defeat the Tang Dynasty was warships, but I never thought that warships were also as powerful as the Tang Dynasty."

"Princess." Tsuruta said, "But we still don't have the formula for artillery and grenades. This is a big threat to us. The same goes for the hot air balloon. Although it is the same as the Kongming Lantern, we have used the Kongming Lantern.

Although it can fly up to the sky using other methods, it will fall down soon."

Orihime said: "There is no way in the Tang Dynasty. We can only hope that the imperial court can make it."

"The princess is right. Fortunately, Li Feng gave us a hot air balloon for us to study. Otherwise, the hot air balloon would have been a headache for us if we faced Li Feng." Tsuruta said.

Orihime sneered and said: "I have already thought of ways to deal with hot air balloons, so there is no need to be nervous."

"It's really great." Tsuruta said excitedly.

At this time, Li Feng walked out of the cabin and walked to the deck. When he saw Orihime's ship, he smiled slightly. He did not expect that Fuso's merchant ship was very fast.

Chai Shao also walked out, came to Li Feng, and said, "I really don't understand why you want to go with Orihime and the others, and why you don't want to throw them away after reaching the sea."

Li Feng said: "I just want them to see how powerful we are, and we are not even a little bit powerful. Our power is completely beyond their imagination.

I want to put them into fear before the fight starts. Let them have the courage to fight us.

Use your troops to attack your plans, attack your heart first, and subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting. This is a true general."

"You brat, after you said that, we veterans have all been outclassed by you," Chai Shao said.

"hehe……"

…

Two days later, two merchant ships arrived in Yangzhou. Li Feng's group and Orihime's group disembarked one after another.

Orihime walked up to Li Feng and said, "Lantian Hou, let's spend a day here for supplies, and then set off for Fuso. That's great."

Li Feng smiled and said: "Princess Orihime needs supplies, but we don't need them. I have already ordered people to prepare everything in advance. Now we only need to change a ship to set off."

Orihime was stunned and said: "Lantianhou, you are indeed rich. If so, wouldn't we have to go separately?"

Li Feng said: "Yes, we do have to separate. Because the speed of your ship cannot keep up with the speed of my ship, it is impossible for me to slow down specially for you."

Orihime nodded and said: "I see, Hou Lantian is waiting for us here. He will go to Fuso before us, so we can prepare for defense in advance."

Li Feng shook his head and said: "Princess Orihime, you may be overthinking it. Although my ship is faster than yours, I have a lot to do on the way to Fuso.

Although I am faster today, I may be overtaken by you tomorrow, not to mention that although we are going to Fuso, I am going to Qiuhi City, and you are going to Heianjing, we are on different roads, so we can go our separate ways here."

"No." Orihime said, "I will go with you to the direction of Qiuhi Castle."

Li Feng frowned slightly and said, "Fuso's 200,000 troops are already outside Li City?"

Shikoku Castle, Akihi Castle, Lee Castle and Oda Castle, the four cities are currently Lee Feng's castles.

Among them, there is a city next to Li City called Bantian City. There were originally 50,000 troops there, which was prepared to prevent the Tang army from attacking Bantian City.

Emperor Kogi was also afraid that the Tang army would attack the entire Fuso, so he deliberately arranged it.

Now that Orihime wanted to walk with him, not to mention in the same direction, this had to make him suspicious.

Orihime did not deny it and said: "The two hundred thousand troops are currently in Sakata City. There are no ordinary people in Sakata City now. When we arrive, whether we will fight or make peace depends on what Hou Lantian says."

"I understand, you want me to be the murderer who started the war, what a trick." Li Feng suddenly realized.

"No, we don't want a war to happen either, but we can't just watch Aantianhou abduct the people of Fuso," Orihime said.
