Thinking of artillery, Li Er also figured out how to control the proliferation of iron ships in the future, and then he thought...
As the top military genius of the Sui Dynasty, Li Er reacted quickly.
Although armor is a defensive weapon, but... because the defense is so strong, it becomes an offensive weapon!
This is the truth that the Chinese warriors summed up bit by bit with blood and tears during the hundreds of years of chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Artillery is just the opposite...
Because of its huge destructive power, it can be used as a defensive weapon!
Where there are artillery, even if there are not many imperial troops, how many foreign enemies would dare to come and stroke the tiger's beard!
Thinking of this, Li Er suddenly felt that my Datang Dynasty was simply invincible.
There are artillery defenses within the territory, so that all enemies cannot invade, and there are sea ships going out to conquer the world. If you think about it, this momentum is extremely unstoppable.
With this thought in Li Er's mind, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
comfortable……
However, Du Ruhui's expression on the side was still not that happy. As the top adviser of the Tang Dynasty, Du Ruhui also had the habit of thinking deeply about everything. This thought made him think... The current situation of the Tang Dynasty is of course very good, and the iron ships, artillery and so on are also very good.
However... artillery can only protect the Tang Dynasty's national borders, but what about the many military towns overseas?
If the artillery is transported to an overseas military town for installation, this...
A place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away can produce its own food and be armed with artillery. Is this... is this really good?
Du Ruhui always felt that there was something wrong.
After Li Sheng, Li Er and others talked about how to arrange artillery and iron ships to maximize the benefits of the Tang Dynasty and the most stable thing, they started eating and drinking... Hangzhou is now also a prosperous place, and the food culture has been introduced by all kinds of people.
The heroes who worked in the docks brought over a large amount of materials, and after the absorption and innovation of local food experts in Hangzhou, Hangzhou is now a food city.
Coupled with the extremely popular sugar cane wine in Hangzhou in recent years, it goes without saying that the joy of eating is great.
but……
Du Ruhui was still a little worried that this problem seemed to be unsolvable.
Yes, that's right.
The Tang Dynasty has now established a special weapons research institute, and top-level weapons such as artillery are absolutely prohibited from leaving the country and allowing foreign countries to obtain them.
but……
Although the most powerful and advanced artillery was in the Tang Dynasty, many overseas military towns... also had their own iron smelting industries.
Having its own iron smelting industry cannot produce the "most advanced" artillery, but just "making artillery" does not seem to be that difficult... then it is equivalent to...
Military towns in various places outside the Tang Dynasty could produce their own food, smelt their own iron and make cannons...
The imperial court can regularly rotate the garrison of its military towns.
But the people in the military town, whether they are responsible for making cannons, steelmaking or farming, are in short the local permanent authority, so it is very likely...
Once out of control, the risk comes.
However, it was the emperor who met His Highness after all at this time. Since the two of them were eating and drinking, Du Ruhui certainly did not want to bring trouble to himself. He just secretly thought in his heart that there was no way to resolve the risks behind this.
But on the second day, a group of people entered the West Lake Shipyard together. After seeing this, Du Ruhui soon understood how to deal with it...
…
"Fuck!"
In the shipyard, as soon as Li Er entered the door, he immediately let out a national curse that did not exist in this era, but was forcefully brought over by Li Sheng. It was also a national curse that was spread among the imperial guards and the people at the bottom because it was short, powerful and catchy.
When he heard the word "fuck you", Li Er's expression was very consistent with the powerful emotion expressed by "fuck you".
His eyes were so wide that Li Er himself couldn't believe what he was seeing.
A huge steel ship, the whole body is green and black, with only silver-white iron parts occasionally appearing.
The whole one is fully supported in the shipyard building. If we say...it is also huge, and the top-of-the-line sea-going ships also produced by the West Lake Shipyard are giant beasts.
Then this one is not a giant beast.
This is a black iron city.
"ah……"
Li Er's whole body went straight into a state of jaw-dropping.
A giant ship that is truly like a city... Although this ship is technically larger than the largest wooden ship in the past, but... if it is larger, it is still larger after all, and it is the largest compared to the past.
Wooden sea ships are the largest ships in the world today.
How can such a big ship prevent people from thinking about the "city"?
It's so exciting...
Li Er didn't even know how to convince himself that this was a boat and not something... Hangzhou is close to the sea, and there are mirages here!...
So shocking!
Li Er, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling.
Although the four of them knew about the existence of iron ships and their great value,...
Along the way, they didn't think about a thing.
What exactly does a big iron ship look like?
After actually arriving here and seeing this big iron ship, Li Er and others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This moment...
Li Er had a feeling in his heart, my country of Datang...
From now on, I'm afraid there will no longer be any problem of expanding the land thousands of miles away, I'm afraid we will have to directly expand the land thousands of miles away.
What is the concept of spreading the land thousands of miles? Although Chinese literati always use the word "tens of miles", but in fact?...
The farthest distances in the east and west directions of mainland China may not be thousands of miles away!
Because China has been civilized for too long, its language is too developed, and its rhetorical phenomena and abilities are extremely strong, literary function words are often used to refer to a certain concept or part of a concept. For example, "thousands of miles away from home" often does not actually mean thousands of miles, but is just a description.
Difficulty getting home.
And now.
Li Er had actually seen the map with his own eyes—no, he had repeatedly measured it with a ruler and calculated it countless times.
And after so many times, how could Li Er not know how big the world is?
Within China, nothing is truly thousands of miles away, but outside of China...
From America to Rome.
This vast world is absolutely thousands of miles wide!
In short... Ever since he saw Li Sheng's map, Li Er has been experiencing depression-like symptoms from time to time, where he can't think about food and drink. After all...
You see, the world is so big, but I, a man from China, want to be involved in internal affairs, this...
Of course, Li Er is not a fool. Going out to grab territory directly would be unkind and would overturn sooner or later. But...
There is nothing wrong with exchanging the blood and sweat of Chinese men for land, right? Hehe...
But of course, since Li Er's ancestors came from the troubled times in Wuchuan Town, of course he also understands...
Without the protection of this black man in front of me, this business may not be easy to do...
