Chapter 1490 "God of War"
Japan!
The white clouds in the sky are accompanied by birds, and the blue waves on the sea reflect the sunshine. On this picturesque sea surface, a great Han navy hangs the red dragon flag and sets off from Sado Island and heads straight towards the direction of the Han Qingxu Erzhou.
Today is different from the past. Due to the joining of Li Tang, although the Japanese navy's power was defeated by the Han Dynasty, the Li Tang navy could compete with the Han navy for control of the sea here.
The reason why the Japanese navy was defeated by the Han navy was, on the one hand, after all, the power of many daimyos was combined together. It was not the same force, and there was a difference between them and the real one.
On the other hand, the quality of Japanese warships is still somewhat different from that of the Great Man!
However, Li Tang did not have these troubles. Moreover, Li Tang's tortoise shell ship made Han Shizhong, Liu Rengui, Zhu Tianpeng, and Lu Xun, who was still in the developmental stage, feel quite troublesome.
When Li Shunchen was born, the biggest surprise he gave to Li Shimin was not himself, but the design drawings of the tortoise shell ship in his hand. After all, this was also a product from the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the Han and Japan also had similar examples. However, they did not directly push the warships to the level of the Ming Dynasty. Although the warships used by the Han Dynasty are definitely not comparable to those of the warships in the original historical context, the quality of the warships they used is still not as good as the tortoise shell ships in the Ming Dynasty.
The tortoise shell ship was designed by Li Shunchen in combination with the characteristics of ancient tortoise ships, the "Anzhai Ship" of Japan, the commonly used slab boats, and ancient Chinese "tree" and dragon boats.
Similar to the old slab boat, the turtle boat also has a wide bottom and specially raised sideways.
At the same time, he learned from the "Tortoise" ship and made a "turtle shell" to protect the crew. The "turtle shell" was covered with iron spikes to prevent the enemy from boarding the ship, and iron armor to prevent combustion. He also made a collision angle to hit the enemy ship.
At the same time, after transformation, the "Tortoise Shell Ship" has a shallower draft and is flexible in turn.
Li Shunchen was forcibly portrayed as a god of war by some people, and was even the first god of war, as if no famous general in the world could compare to him.
Of course, he certainly does not have this ability. Not to mention the first God of War, he has not even reached the level of a god-level commander. However, despite this, Li Shunchen still has something in his hands, at least he has reached the level of a peerless commander.
In addition, Li Shimin also subdued another famous water war general, Jiugui Jialong, while conquering Hokkaido Island. Under the strong alliance, these two people relied on the fact that the tortoise shell ship was indeed powerful, which gave Han Shizhong, Liu Rengui, Zhu Tianpeng and others a headache.
Fortunately, Li Shimin is not stupid. Although Japan has paid enough rewards, he will definitely not really pay for Japan. It is enough. Both of them are using each other. Li Shimin believed that he had limited the Dahan Navy and fulfilled his ally's obligations. It is impossible to really fight the Dahan Navy to death.
Although the Jin army, Xuzhou army, and Wu army did not interfere with him in theory, Liu Bei and Dou Jiande from Qingzhou could attack Li Tang, and there was no need for Li Shimin to make trouble for himself!
Theoretically speaking, although Li Tang, Liu Bei, Dou Jiande and others can indeed attack each other, there is no need for this because there is no benefit!
After all, there is still a sea between them. Although they can hit each other, it does not mean that they can really occupy the other's territory after hitting each other across the sea!
As for Li Shimin, Dou Jiande, Liu Bei and others, if they can't grab the other party's territory, why bother to cross the sea and provoke a great enemy for no reason! If they just want to grab a fortune, then Japan will be the best choice.
It was done in a small boat wandering on the sea, or even establishing overseas colonies, which were all completed in modern contexts. At that time, the economy, social science and technology and other aspects had developed to what extent, and what level was it now, how could it be the same?
What can be done under modern conditions does not mean that it can be done in ancient times!
Moreover, colonies are related to all aspects such as economy, politics, culture, etc. This is not a matter of being able to do it with one's hands, and it is not something that can be done by taking it for granted.
At the same time, the same is true for occupying a piece of land across the sea. The subsequent troops and food are all major problems. Without land connection, this may be a thankless thing. Therefore, although Li Shimin, Dou Jiande and Liu Bei were able to attack the other side across the sea, they did not have this idea.
Of course, if one of these three parties occupied Youzhou one day, if they could advance together by sea and land during the attack, they would have achieved twice the result with half the effort.
However, if Li Shimin really provoked Liu Bei and Dou Jiande and others for the sake of Japan, then Liu Bei and Dou Jiande would definitely not have swallowed this breath easily.
Fortunately, with Qin Zheng, the great enemy, Li Shimin, would definitely not become mortal enemies with Liu Bei and Dou Jiande. After collecting the money from Japan, he helped Japan to help Japan, but he had to help the other party within a range.
Of course, the Han side could not pin their hopes on their opponents. Although the Li Tang Navy did not attack the ships they traveled every time, the Han side still sent a large number of warships to escort every time.
What's more, Li Tang's navy was not that idle. The Han navy needed to send a large number of warships to escort, while Li Tang also had to send a large number of warships to escort. The Han ships had to come and return to the Han and Japan every once in a while, and Li Tang's ships also had to imitate Li Tang and Japan every once in a while.
Moreover, the environment of Li Tang was worse than that of the Han Dynasty. The five princes on the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, Dou Jiande, and others either rely on the sea or the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, and would not pass through the territory of other princes.
On Li Xiang's side, although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin had to be with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin on the ground on Li Xiang's side, these two princes were both allies for the time being, and it was obviously not time to turn against each other.
Although Cao Cao, Chi You, Liu Che and other princes were jealous of the gold and silver of the ships, they were jealous of them, but their hands could not be reached. As long as Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang were not stupid, they would not give way to these princes.
Although Li Xiang was the biggest threat to them, these princes were the most recent threat to them and a stumbling block on their expansion path. To help these people grow stronger, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin did not want to swallow these princes and go further, they still thought that once these princes robbed a large amount of gold and silver, they would not deal with them after they grew stronger!
