For the Forbidden Army at the seaside, there are always signs because all kinds of supplies need to be transported from land.
And this sign.
It seems that due to the existence of maritime merchants, a large amount of cargo is handled every day, and it seems that it is naturally well covered.
But in fact, in inland areas, the number of merchants is much smaller than in places along the coast where sea trade is possible. Although there are less goods transshipped, because there are not so many merchants, the eyes and ears actually watching these materials are
less!
In the coastal areas, there are too many merchants - these unscrupulous people are all smart people, and no one among them can even tell whether they are on the same level as a great god like Wei Zhengfangdu.
Those eyes are naturally not ordinary spirits, these people exist.
Naturally, it is difficult to keep this information confidential. Maybe there are still few people who can see the clues despite their efforts, but as long as there are--then there is still a considerable possibility of leaking the secrets.
After all, it is easier to leak secrets on the seaside, and sailors live on the sea, so they naturally have a cosmopolitan culture. Although they are often brave and powerful, their reliability is unreliable.
Naturally it is much lower.
Because of these various reasons, I want to give these pirates a knock on the sea.
It has basically become impossible. This is the current predicament of Datang.
Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were all the top talents of the Tang Dynasty. Although they faced this dilemma, as real elites, they were sent away by the emperor, and they did not stop thinking after returning to their respective mansions.
But even if I think about it, I mainly think about how the impact of panic has become more and more widespread and intense. In this case, how to provide psychological counseling and protect the people as much as possible.
As for the fight against pirates themselves, almost everyone agrees that this kind of thing will not stop for a while.
Results now.
Li Er actually said he had a solution!
this.
The emperor is not really a dragon with horns on his head, so how can he do anything?
Several ministers were astonished and then listened to Li Erdao.
"The pirates who now come out to plunder are different from those when they first opened the sea. Many of the pirates back then were heroes who were crazy about money. They wanted to do business and engage in maritime trade but had no way. This
Only then did we take risks. Now that the great cause of sea trade has matured, those among this group of people who have not been killed by the imperial army have been absorbed by the great cause of sea trade. In other words."
"The current group of pirates are real pirates. They don't believe in anything but robbery. As these people are professional pirates, they will naturally measure the risks. As long as we can spread terror from time to time and scare these thieves, it will be natural.
Don’t dare to move again.”
"this."
Wei Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. Your Majesty, you are talking about this. Who doesn't understand what you are talking about? Isn't it impossible to organize a military operation?
It's not that they can't organize military operations - if they get to that kind of place, the Tang Dynasty will be finished. It's that they can't organize effective military operations and can't trace the whereabouts of these pirates.
What should I do? There is nothing we can do.
Although what Li Er said at this time is reasonable, it is clear that it is bringing up old things again.
What does this mean?
For a moment, Wei Zheng couldn't help but complain, but as soon as the word "this" came out of his mouth, Li Er directly interrupted Wei Zheng's interruption and continued, "If ships were dispatched in the past, it would naturally be difficult to capture the movements of these pirates.
.But this time we are using this submarine. Hey, do you know how long this submarine can travel underwater at a time?"
"At least ten days!"
It is not a problem for later generations of military submarines to be able to stay underwater for months or even years, but in this era, it only lasts for such a short time, but when Li Er talks about this time, his face is still full of excitement.
because.
Before Li Er below said anything, the expressions of several ministers still changed!
The ministers immediately understood what Li Er was going to say.
"Your Majesty is saying that with these 'submarines' as the main force, they operate underwater and wait for opportunities to hunt down pirate ships?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant!"
As soon as Li Er finished speaking, several ministers suddenly looked horrified.
If this thing really works.
So, as long as a few pirate ships can be killed, this attack launched from an invisible place under the sea will
It can definitely spread huge terror!
That's right, the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty not only attacked like thunder, but also appeared mysteriously!
If it is this kind of thing, then the pirates will naturally be doomed!
Holy shit!
The ministers immediately understood the key point. After a few seconds of serious thinking, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
So exciting!
While the ministers were getting excited, the smile on Li Er's face became even bigger. He leisurely stuffed another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth, and then added in a low voice, "Besides, you may not know something.
.Although this submarine is underwater, it does not need to surface to detect surface conditions. Instead, it uses a strange thing called a 'periscope'."
"With this 'periscope', the Forbidden Army can directly observe the situation on the sea surface while underwater!"
In the thoughts of these ministers.
The submarine lurks underwater, and can lurk for such a long time, a full ten days - this means that the movement of Datang's naval warships will change from now on.
No matter how knowledgeable a person is, or a person with many connections and well-informed information, they will no longer be able to grasp the traces of the navy!
After all, the real main force of the navy is underwater. Who knows where it is?
And as long as the pirates cannot grasp the position of the Tang Navy, they will not be able to consciously avoid the main force of the navy like before!
As long as these thugs show up, Datang will only need a few troops to keep an eye on the south bank and the major commercial ports and villages on the east bank, and raise fire and send messages at any time to attract the submarines.
The key point is that "the pirates cannot consciously avoid it"!
Everyone is trying their luck at sea, and there will always be times when you are unlucky!
And Li Er added this.
Several ministers were even dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Your Majesty, you have no words to say!"
"This is in the imperial palace. Your Majesty is not in the mood to joke with your ministers!"
Several ministers are simply in a state of bewilderment and disbelief!
The reason is very simple, because submarines can make it impossible for pirates to avoid the Tang Dynasty's navy. This is certain and key. But correspondingly, for Datang's navy to find pirates and launch an attack, this also requires luck and the opponent.
Only when you reveal your flaws can you raise fire and report the situation and gather troops to encircle and suppress you.
But now according to Li Er's words, then Datang not only has the ability to take advantage of the pirates' movements to launch attacks, but can also quietly reach the hidden lairs of these pirates!
