Thinking of this, Li Er let out a long sigh, and then waved his hand, "Then act as soon as possible, send out the fleet earlier, and by the way, also see where the Southeast Diaren's ships have gone and what they are doing.
.”
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and bowed in obedience to the order.
Afterwards, Li Er's face became unbearable.
This matter has become so troublesome. The key is why this naughty kid suddenly acted on a whim.
If you think about it this way, Li Er's anger towards Li Sheng has also dissipated a little, mainly because of the matter of stealing a large black iron ship - although this boy did something outrageous, if you think about it seriously, the large black iron ship is also extremely valuable
, if it is true, it is a crime plus one.
However, considering the safety issue, it can be considered that Li Sheng is quite smart and knows that he must be well prepared when traveling far away.
Thinking about it this way, Li Er even felt a strong sense of frustration. How could this kid think so clearly?
Why don't you just bypass the imperial court and do all the expansion of territory yourself?
If young people in the Tang Dynasty all do this in the future, then why would the court be needed? Wouldn’t the court become redundant?
What a shame!
Although thinking about it this way, the Tang Dynasty was so happy. The country was stable and had no internal conflicts, while it continued to gain external victories and external benefits. It was so satisfying.
However, despite this, this inexplicable feeling of being excluded and inexplicably isolated still made Li Er furious.
After thinking for a while, Li Er slammed the table, stood up and left the Manlu Hall.
Then, walk in the direction of Shangshu Province.
"I want to see how capable you are! How dare you not discuss such a big matter with the court."
But it was said that Li Sheng and Chai Shao, the old and the young, stole a court warship and fled directly to Australia.
Although this incident was just as Fang Xuanling recounted, it was Li Sheng who brainwashed Chai Shao with some nice words. "The Holy Marquis has such a heart, I am really ashamed of myself!"
On a boat out to sea, Chai Shao said with emotion as he faced the unfamiliar sea breeze blowing from an extremely distant and unfamiliar direction with tears streaming down his face.
And Chai Shao said this.
The look on Li Sheng's face was awkward for a moment, but then he immediately returned to his original state and continued, "Yes, yes, uh no, I just came out to take a look, let's talk."
"Before I presented the picture of the iron-clad ship to the court, I thought that with the industrial capabilities of the Tang Dynasty, it would probably take a hundred years to build this ship. Unexpectedly, it was actually built recently."
On this point, Li Sheng was not lying at all.
The fact is that Li Sheng really thought this way - Li Sheng simply didn't think about Australia from the beginning.
That distance, it would be damning if these ancient people could get across it - even if it is not unusual for them to actually create industry, Australia is still too far away after all. In that sea area, you have to know the era when Captain Cook lived until Li Sheng
, but they are still the legendary heroes of that nation, their reputation remains intact and everyone knows them.
You can imagine how difficult it is - of course.
Li Sheng had no idea of doing such an exciting thing. In Li Sheng's initial thoughts, he planned to buy a boat for fun. Of course, it must be an iron-clad boat. Its ability to withstand wind and waves is better than
Building a wooden sailboat is simply alien technology.
Although what Li Sheng did not expect was that Datang actually built iron-clad ships, there was another thing that was equally unexpected. Although Datang built iron-clad ships, its production capacity was completely stretched.
It is completely incomparable to the production capacity that was thrown into the sea like dumplings during World War II.
So Li Sheng could only wait and see when the imperial court's production capacity would increase. In addition to the orders from the Forbidden Army, he might be able to grab one.
This made Li Sheng dumbfounded, because he discovered that he had actually traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and he had to be quick to buy the first-release goodies!
It turned out that I had to wait for several years, so I thought about it for a while.
After Li Sheng dealt with Chai Shao's move, Chai Shao looked at Li Sheng blankly.
There was silence for a long time, and then he cried again, "The Holy Marquis can be so noble and upright, but he has not achieved this heavenly merit, I, I, I."
"No, Mr. Chai, you are thinking too much,"
Li Sheng's face was covered with black lines. He held Chai Shao's shoulders and tried to persuade him, "I just did a small job."
"Mr. Chai, let me just say this. I just researched our official titles and found out that even if a black boat comes out, the court can't convict you."
"What?!"
When Chai Shao heard Li Sheng's words, the shock on his face suddenly became even greater - this time, Chai Shao remained stunned for a longer time.
After a longer time, he stared at Li Sheng and said with tears, "The Holy Marquis's heart for serving the country is really shameful, shameful!"
Chai Shao felt like his whole body was in bad shape.
His Highness is indeed a great saint!
Li Sheng's facial muscles twitched for a while, and then he smiled bitterly. "Mr. Chai, I must be thinking too much. I just, this,"
At this moment, Li Sheng was searching for a reason. It was not good for him, so he just admitted that he encouraged him to steal the boat and go out to sea for fun?
In fact, in Li Sheng's original vision, the reason why he did not add Australia on the map for Li Er was precisely because he felt that the Chinese empire might never even think of sailing to Australia in this life - at least in his own life.
, or in other words, the period when I was a young man.
But the reason why there is America on the map? This is naturally because although America is farther away, it is also bigger.
Between it and the Eurasian continent is not only the vast Pacific Ocean, but also a "branch" to the north stretching towards the Eurasian continent.
It can also be guessed that perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago, that place was connected to Eurasia - this has actually been proven in later generations. But this is not the point. The point is that America and China are connected by land.
sexual.
Even if it can't be connected, it will cost some money, but at least it will be safer and easier than simply taking the sea route. Especially, for the court, it will be much easier to mobilize.
And Li Sheng never expected that after Datang got the blueprint of the steel warship, he immediately spent a lot of money to buy a few of them - and then stopped because the output was too strong, and the skills cooled down.
Production has not resumed for several years.
Li Sheng also didn't expect that ordinary armored ships would be like the F22 fighter jets of later generations. After a wave of production shocked the world, the production line was directly closed.
But now that the matter has come to this, I can only think of ways to get a boat, because Australia is too important to me.
