"Crack!"

Accompanied by the raging fire, several shipbuilding workshops in Persian Port were all shrouded in fire.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a pity that such a good shipbuilding workshop was burned like this?

Now our Tang Dynasty has captured Persian Port.

If I am not prepared to continue occupying this place in the future, I can understand that I will burn the shipbuilding workshop.

But since we are planning to use this place as the long-term garrison for the navy in the future, it would be a pity to burn the shipbuilding workshop."

Changsun Wuji looked at the fire in front of him and felt very reluctant to leave.

Originally, he was wondering if he could find an opportunity to buy these workshops.

When the Tang Dynasty troops set out to fight, they sold spoils to merchants.

For example, Su Dingfang and others went to the Western Regions to sell the prisoners and other items to merchants and directly turned into silver notes.

This can effectively reduce the army's logistics supply tasks and marching speed.

The navy is of course similar here.

For example, this shipbuilding workshop should normally be sold to other merchants in exchange for some money.

This can not only subsidize the military expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue, but also be considered a seizure of the navy.

But now a fire is burned, which is obviously a pity.

"It's a pity. Even if our Tang Dynasty does not plan to build warships in Persian Port in the future, it is necessary to maintain a certain level of warship repair capabilities here.

Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to transfer the warship to Puluo for maintenance no matter what happens."

At this time, even Fang Xuanling agreed with Changsun Wuji's opinion.

There is no way, their generation really doesn't like this kind of waste.

"Changsun Sikong, Fang Xiang, for our warships, as long as they are maintained regularly, there are not many things that need to be repaired in normal times.

As for some simple maintenance issues on the ship, they need to be mastered by all sailors and do not need to go to a special maintenance workshop.

The construction of warships is related to whether the Tang Dynasty navy can dominate the world in the future, and it must not be taken lightly.

Just like our fly-scissors, its speed is significantly higher than that of ordinary ships.

The key is that it is more stable in the sea.

Whether it is the Great Food Empire or other vassal states, many people want to know how our flying scissors were made.

To be honest, the difficulty of making a fly-scissor is actually not that high.

It’s just that some things people didn’t expect, and once they were told, they could quickly imitate and make similar sea boats.

At that time, the advantages of our Datang Navy's warship will be weakened.

Although maintaining one or two shipbuilding workshops in Persian Harbor will be beneficial to our fleet's stay here in the short term.

But it is difficult for anyone to judge the potential risks of doing this.

We cannot take such risks.

So before the expedition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued a special order that from the port of Qi to the west, there would be no shipbuilding workshops where we conquered them.

All shipbuilding workshops, regardless of size, must be destroyed.

Not only that, all the relevant craftsmen must be taken away, and the shipbuilding technology of the Dashi Empire cannot catch up with it."

Faced with the doubts of the two big shots, Yang Qiwa explained there calmly.

This order was clearly instructed by Li Kuan.

So Yang Qiwa will never give any discounts.

Besides, he also participated in the operation in Japan.

Although people used to burn the shipbuilding workshops in Japan, they would still wear a layer of pirates attacking.

But now in the Great Food Empire, there is no need for even any coat.

These are the spoils of the Tang Dynasty navy, and they can deal with them as they want.

Being able to save the lives of craftsmen is already considered to be kind.

There is no way, the war in this era is so cruel.

It would be great to be able to save a life in the war.

"Treat comrades as warm as spring, treat attacks as hot as summer, treat threats as respectful as autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves, and treat enemies as cruel and ruthless as severe winter.

This is a passage my master once taught me, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

As Changsun Sikong and Fang Xiang said, these shipbuilding workshops are valuable and have taken a lot of energy to build.

It seems a pity to burn it out in just one fire.

But I think it is very necessary. This is an important way to make the danger of the Great Food Empire as clear as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.

Although we will also station fleets in Persian Port in the future, this is not the area we focus on developing.

The reason why the fleet is stationed here is just to ensure our control over the West.

If the shipbuilding workshop is kept, it is equivalent to keeping the cannibals a craftsman who is proficient in shipbuilding.

No one knows what kind of threat these craftsmen will bring to the Tang Dynasty, and no one knows whether these craftsmen will return to the area controlled by the Great Cannibal to build warships to deal with us in the future.

In order to prevent these possible potential threats, we need to be as cruel and ruthless as the severe winter, and we cannot tolerate any sloppy."

Di Renjie, who has always been very low-key, naturally supports Li Kuan's opinion.

So after Yang Qiwa finished speaking, he stood up and expressed his supportive view before Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling refuted.

"Treat the enemy as cruel and ruthless as the severe winter!

I think this statement is very reasonable. The cannibalism is aggressive and not only has he tried to invade the King of Qi before.

Now it is invading the sphere of influence of our Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.

We cannot have any kindness to such enemies with wolfish ambitions.

Since Kuan'er thinks it is necessary to burn these workshops, it will be burned all of them.

As long as all the shipbuilding workshops along the coast of the Dashi Empire were burned, it would not be so easy for the Dashi Cannibal to develop a navy.

It is not that easy to cultivate craftsmen.

Especially if the Dashi Empire has no shipbuilding workshop for decades, it will not be so easy for them to build sea boats if they want to eat.

The best thing is that in this world, only our Tang Dynasty can build large sea ships.

If other vassal states have demands, they can come to us for a high price.”

Li Shimin's words were considered to have drawn a conclusion on this matter.

There is no way, no one in the Tang Dynasty can object to what Li Shimin and Li Kuan agree to.

...

The Tang people invaded Persian Port and defeated the navy led by Muaweiye.

The news soon spread in the Great Food Empire.

There was no way, the Tang army had already logged into Persian Port, and many people in the city fled early.

This news spread rapidly with the escaped crowd.

The Datang Navy then swept through several nearby ports, which further proved the authenticity of this news.

"Bang! Wastes are all a bunch of wastes. When did our Great Food Empire fall into this realm?

Can't even beat a Tang Dynasty that came from afar?

Didn’t Ali lead a large number of troops under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor to fight in the northeast?

Didn’t Muaweiye seconded many warships from other ports?

Why is the Tang Dynasty navy now appearing in Persian Port? There is no news before?

Why did the Tang Navy attack a port with a large number of warships so easily?"

The Ottoman was the third caliph of the Great Food Empire.

As a confidant of the second caliph Omer, Ottoman did not make any trouble after he came to power.

"Calif., this Tang Empire may be a little different from what we knew before.

Whether it is the items sold by their merchants to us or their territory, they are not comparable to those countries we conquered before.

Previously, General Muaweiye took his fleet to the Qiwang Port they controlled, which was located south of India.

Logically speaking, this port is far away from the Tang Dynasty, but General Muaweiye suffered a great loss in their hands.

It can be imagined that the power of the Tang Dynasty's navy may be much stronger than we imagined.

Under this background, if the Tang Dynasty navy had to take the initiative to attack us.
