Fang Jun expected that His Majesty Li Er would question this, and the old god smiled and said: "No, no, if that is really the case, why should I beg your Majesty to grant me the position of chief military officer of Canghaidao March? For this reason
, I, the humble minister, even offered the benefits of making a fortune in glass, printing, etc. to His Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er's eyelids twitched and he felt annoyed.
Little bastard, I am rich all over the world, but I just asked you to give up a few profitable businesses such as the glass workshop, and you remind me all day long, are you still afraid that I will treat you badly?
In Shuzi's eyes, there was only the smell of gold, silver, and copper, and he had absolutely no ambition to make progress...
only……
An idea flashed in His Majesty Li Er's mind and he asked: "Isn't this the new type of sea ship you mentioned?"
At the beginning, Fang Junke vowed that he could develop a new type of sea-going ship to help the Eastern Expedition army transport food, grass and baggage.
Fang Jun nodded and said: "That's right. Whether it's Goguryeo or the Japanese country, the situation is completely different from the situation in the Western Regions. By controlling the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty will face the Turks and Tibetan cavalry cutting off food routes. But if you occupy Goguryeo or the Japanese country, you don't have to worry at all.
Although Goguryeo borders the Tang Dynasty, it has a long coastline. As long as it has a fleet, it can ensure the logistical supply of the garrison. The Japanese state is even simpler. The fleet of Weichen can surround the small island of the Japanese state and let it
Let it live, let it live, let it die, let it die!”
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun's triumphant look with some dissatisfaction, and said displeasedly: "It's just a sea-going ship. You can build it, Goguryeo can also build it, why can't the Japanese country not build one? They can also build sea-going ships, and they can follow you when they go to sea."
Guan Guo, how can you ensure the smooth flow of food channels?"
Although the huge gap between the Tang Dynasty cavalry and the Turkic cavalry caused danger to the food routes in the Western Regions, the construction of sea ships was definitely ahead of Goguryeo and the Japanese state, but it was impossible for others to not fight, right?
In the vast sea, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will run away, and the harassment will be a war, which will make you miserable, and you may be bitten hard at any time.
Fang Jun looked proud: "So, Weichen has always emphasized the necessity of advanced technology."
His Majesty Li Er felt that he could not keep up with Fang Jun's thinking, especially since this boy always had some inexplicable vocabulary that made people confused and confused.
He scolded with some annoyance: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't show off in front of me!"
Fang Jun was shocked when he saw the emperor getting angry. This man had a worse temper than himself. He might be really angry and give himself a slap first...
He quickly said seriously: "Weichen has a complete plan. After Weichen takes office, he will build the largest shipyard in the world, build the most advanced sea ships in the world, and form a fleet that spans the seven seas and is invincible in the world!"
In this era, the navy was called the Navy, and this was the case until the end of the Qing Dynasty. No one had ever proposed the term "fleet" because there is no concept of "warship" now.
That was not what His Majesty Li Er paid attention to. He only heard the words "across the seven seas" and "invincible in the world".
There is no other language that can produce a greater shock than these two words in the heart of an emperor who was very happy with his achievements and longed to become the emperor of the ages!
That’s it!
My subordinates want to be invincible, invincible, and invincible!
Just one sentence from Fang Jun completely touched His Majesty Li Er's heart, making all 36,000 pores in His Majesty Li Er's body feel so comfortable that it felt so good!
But His Majesty Li Er was not overjoyed.
On the one hand, he liked Fang Jun's idea very much, but he felt that this guy was a bit ambitious and boastful, and he might not have the ability to achieve this almost great goal.
On the other hand, he didn't like this kid raising his tail in front of him, even if this kid won the emperor's heart...
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er decided to pour cold water on this and could not allow this kid to be arrogant.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er is not a man who makes trouble out of nothing and is a troublemaker. Even if he attacks Fang Jun, he must be well-founded and convincing.
He sneered disdainfully: "It sounds nice, but it's just a daydream. I don't doubt that you can build a new type of sea ship, but if you build it, others will learn it within a few days. By then, you will be able to build something exactly like you."
How can you conquer the seven seas, how can you be invincible in the world?"
Even if you are extremely talented and can design the best seagoing ship in the world, others can’t design it, but others can learn from it! You can’t hide seagoing ships at home so that no one can see them, they always have to be launched.
If you go out, when people learn it, how do you maintain your advantage?
His Majesty Li Er's words are very reasonable.
For example, the Turkic cavalry is invincible in the world. The Tang Dynasty learned from the Turks in domesticating war horses and training soldiers. Although they always failed against the Turks, they were not completely invincible. Once a local advantage was formed, they could defeat the Turkic wolf cavalry.
.
Not only was Fang Jun not worried at all, but he smiled happily and said: "At this point, the topic has to turn to science and technology again..."
Isn’t this what Chelulu said?
After all, this is still the problem.
His Majesty Li Er deeply felt that his IQ was being insulted. His square face suddenly darkened. He glared at Fang Jun fiercely and gritted his teeth and said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go. If you talk to me again in a slippery tone, huh?"
Huh, watch out for my board!"
Fang Jun was startled and felt that he was a little too complacent. He did not notice that His Majesty Li Er's self-esteem was still being hit repeatedly by him...
But can you blame me?
We have an unparalleled amount of knowledge in the world today, and have insights that are thousands of years ahead of this era. We should be aloof and accept the worship of you primitive humans...
Well, you can’t reason with His Majesty Li Er, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. His Majesty the Emperor is always right...
He quickly said: "Your Majesty has filtered it. I would like to ask Your Majesty, if you show the gunpowder to the Turks, can they do it? Glass is all over the world, who has copied it? The same is true for new sea ships. There will be many
The latest technological application, even if the Goguryeo and Japanese people get the blueprints, they can't make it!"
When technology develops to a certain level, it has reached another level. It cannot be learned by just looking at it.
For example, the keel laying of seagoing ships, the angle of the triangle sail, the material of the canvas, and even the artillery and iron nails that will be used on new seagoing ships...
His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth and found in frustration that what Fang Jun said made sense...
But what makes him even more depressed is that he has always claimed to be a martial artist, proficient in the art of war, and good at governing the country. He has been studying for many years, but why is he not as knowledgeable as Fang Jun?
This guy doesn't even read. If he tinkers around casually, he will always come up with some shocking things. But when you break these things apart and crush them and study them carefully, you find that they actually contain the most basic truth.
It’s just that ordinary people always ignore it and don’t think about it deeply.
His Majesty Li Er's heart is hot.
He was very much looking forward to the invincible fleet envisioned by Fang Jun. If it could really be realized, if nothing else, the chance of victory in conquering Goguryeo would be greatly increased.
The reason why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed in his first expedition to Goguryeo was that the navy commander neglected his duty to protect his children and underestimated the enemy's advance. As a result, the navy did not realize its own advantages and failed to complete its mission.
bear the heavy responsibility.
If Fang Jun's fleet could enter Goguryeo from the Zhu River during the Eastern Expedition, attack Pyongyang City, break through Pyongyang with lightning speed, and wipe out all the Goguryeo court, Goguryeo would be leaderless and the country would collapse, and the entire territory of Goguryeo would be wiped out effortlessly.
!
Just thinking about it, His Majesty Li Er was so excited...
So, he solemnly said to Fang Jun: "Spring is about to begin, you have to get involved, calm down and prepare for the wedding. After the wedding, I will appoint you as the general manager of the Canghaidao March and go to Jiangnan to take up your post.
"
Fang Jun respectfully accepted the order.
The so-called "Canghaidao" is not a fixed city or region. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, as long as it was outside the sea area, it was collectively called "Canghaidao".
Before that, the "Canghai Road" probably referred to the area around Laizhou, Shandong, because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo all went out to the sea from Laizhou and entered Goguryeo.
But now, Fang Jun does not plan to go to sea from Laizhou...
