Chapter 2004 There seems to be a door to this matter!
Generally speaking, when a minister repeatedly denies something using the "but" sentence pattern, Li Er will understand that he is affirming something - and vice versa, these bureaucrats are just trying to show off their faults.
Of course, you may not get angry yourself. Sometimes you have to pretend to be wrong, but right now.
When Li Ji talked about steel warships like this, he couldn't help but get a little excited, because it felt like it.
This seems to be possible!
If you think about it carefully, although things like steel warships are extremely rare, in general, they don't seem to be that good. In Li Er's opinion, especially in Li Er's initial opinion, this thing
Although it is also extremely powerful, it is shocking to look at, and you can feel it at a glance - it really requires calculation of combat power.
Anyway, Li Er never expected that this thing would really bring much profit to Datang.
Of course, Li Er still has high expectations for the black iron ship. Although it may not be as powerful and invincible as it looks, it can lift most wooden sailboats at a glance, and there is no pressure.
.
But it wasn't until this moment that Li Er realized that he might have made a mistake in calculating Datang's Forbidden Army cards.
This steel warship may be able to do more things than I imagined. However, at this time, there is no use in realizing such things. After all, no matter what, the steel warship.
All these damn ones have been driven out. Except for a few in America, the remaining one is the one that Li Sheng took away. As for the reason why Li Ji can come back, this is partly because he is not the head coach of the Imperial Army who went to America before.
, on the other hand, it was because Li Ji traveled a lot by land.

That is to say, it cannot actually be said to be a land route, but in the last few months of this year, during the process of opening up the Americas, another captain among the Forbidden Army thought of traveling along the frozen coastline of northern Liaozhou and the Americas.
The coastline of the northwest corner, sailing along this route!
Although sailing like this is much more troublesome than crossing the ocean normally, it is extremely difficult.
But on the other hand, this is much easier than simply walking on big muddy ground, especially in the bitter cold places in the extreme north, where there are not many places that can be considered serious roads.
Basically, they are all covered with extremely thick snow, or simply icy surfaces where horses would turn around just looking at them. This kind of road,
It is conceivable that it is definitely not as good as sailing on the shore. And the test results are really good.
This can be regarded as opening up a new idea for Datang.
Moreover, it is not difficult to understand why Li Er was so angry when he learned that this naughty boy Li Sheng had fled in a boat - for Li Er, this was nothing less than a thunder.
On the one hand, the kid Li Sheng suddenly ran away, which was very shocking in itself. On the other hand, it was the big black iron ship. I found that walking along the shore, this was a ship that although it seemed that it was not close to four or six, it was
This is a surprisingly cost-effective way to go - but this is a walk along the shore.
It seems very safe, and it can be said that it is indeed safer than crossing the ocean, but in fact there is no such safe solution because this large arc-shaped coastline is too long.
With such a long coastline, it is not difficult to guess that it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to set up too many shore-based forts along the coast. At most, they could only have supply points.
There are only supply points, and then there are sea-going ships carrying large amounts of cargo. If you think about it, you can easily guess that it is extremely easy to provoke pirates.
Although the Tang Dynasty had just solved the problem of pirate pirates not long ago, and solved it ruthlessly, and it was solved with extraordinary force that could be called heavenly soldiers and generals.
That is, the submarine! The most unpredictable and powerful naval warfare weapon.
However, it is still too easy to track the whereabouts of large ships walking along the coast, and the probability of being robbed by pirates is still too high. Then again, although submarines are powerful, their range is limited after all.
This voyage has not been leaked now, but once it is really leaked, it will be troublesome. The pirates only need to make a little calculation. Of course, these guys will not dare to show off in the coastal areas of mainland China, but they will definitely
Dare to attack the ships sent by China to America.
Of course, since China is officially sending ships, it seems impossible that there will be no armed escort. And since China is officially sending armed warships to escort, how can it be robbed by pirates?
This seems quite incredible.
In fact, there is nothing incredible, because transportation capacity is still too precious after all. It is not that the Tang Dynasty cannot reach America at all, but that the power it can project is too little. If you want to project as much power as possible, the transportation along the way will
Warships and supply ships cannot be armed too much, or the proportion of weapons cannot be too high.
The higher armament level of the fleet means that less supplies will be transported to the Americas. Now that the Romans have spread on a large scale in the Americas, if the Tang Dynasty does not act as soon as possible, it will be in trouble if it falls behind.
Naturally, this armament still cannot keep up, and this almost inevitably means that Datang will invest precious black iron warships to escort the fleet. After all, there is no real significant gap in the transportation capacity of black iron warships and wooden ships.
But just one is a huge deterrent.
but.
After Li Er made this operation as fierce as a tiger, he waited until the fleet really set off.
After about two months, he received news that made him almost break the large desk in Ganlu Hall with a single blow.
Li Sheng, he is back again!
And it was a smooth journey, very smooth.
How exactly is it smooth?
As luck would have it, he never encountered the fleet sent by Li Er to help him - maybe even save his life.
Just cross the sea and return directly to Datang!
This made Li Er angry and broke his defense.
How can this naughty kid be so playful!
Although there were various reasons and concerns, Li Sheng came back after all, and Li Er directly faced a problem.
This naughty kid is so annoying!
So the question is, should I call him to Chang'an to scold him?
You don't even have to think about this idea yourself, Empress Changsun already wants to do this, and she is really very angry.
But Li Er, although he was furious, finally gave up the idea. It was obviously unrealistic to do so.
After thinking about it, Li Er still felt that it was better to go and see this naughty kid by himself. Don't scold him. At least he has returned safely. What else is going on?
So soon, Li Er took action again and headed all the way in the direction of Li Sheng.
