"Superman... Nietzsche... who is this Nietzsche? Master, I am so confused..."
"This... uh... Aba Aba..."
Li Sheng's face suddenly turned red. Why is he so damn like this?
Fortunately, no one knows who Nietzsche is anyway...
With a slight cough, Li Sheng continued, "You don't have to ask who it is, just know the truth. In short... For example, think about it, although Liu Bang is loyal to King Huai of Chu, he can't do anything if he cooperates with Xiang Yu.
Nine points out, but think about it...after Xiang Yu really attacked King Huai of Chu, what did Liu Bang do?"
"this……"
King Luo Bin narrowed his eyes, "Teacher, are you saying that this person still has the possibility of being capricious?"
"It can't be called capricious, just realism... In short, as long as we don't forget this place called Mangbai, and she doesn't get sick, she will still be reliable and usable, but... she will probably have to go back to her hometown in the end. This is who she is
It's your own business. Compared with this, do you still remember what happened when we were on the outskirts of Chang'an in the second year?"
"Two years?" King Luo Bin thought for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened, "The teacher said... we will train in the suburbs of the city, and then go to Mobei to fight the Turks..."
"By the way. If you haven't forgotten, go and help. We're about to start."
Afterwards, King Luo Bin left with a somewhat sighing expression.
The help Li Sheng mentioned was, of course, training the craftsmen who came here to build the base.
Of course, it's military training.
And the main training content is very special.
Bomb training!
At the end of the exchange with Li Sheng, King Luo Bin remembered and understood why Asmin sold herself as a slave for twenty years... Although I don't know why this person insisted on sticking to this position, and my mentor Li Sheng seemed to value it very much, but this
Something has indeed changed in twenty years, and that is grenades.
"That thing your imperial army uses" is exactly what it refers to!
Of course, Asmin originally did not have the power to decide on such a big matter. Even Li Sheng had to formally report to the court about the use of grenades.
However, on the surface, it was to satisfy Asmin in the spirit of the contract, but in reality it was also to... give it to various official or private undertakings in China, to accumulate as much as possible in the early stages of changes in this era.
After King Luo Bin left, Li Sheng's expression was no longer so indifferent. Instead, he looked at the beach in front of him with some worry...
Now everything has finally started, not only Datang is engaged in maritime trade.
Although the world has always been a time of great strife, the intensity varies in different periods.
And now this situation, according to the script I have read...I am afraid that there will be a real war in the world soon.
There were countless battles including the Dutch and Spanish naval battles and the Anglo-Dutch naval battle. The Thirty Years' War was just a sentence in the eyes of later generations of Chinese students. However, at that time, it was no more than the European version of King Qin's war to conquer Liuhe!
Such wars occurred countless times among European countries at that time.
...If the Tang Dynasty had not made preparations in advance, I am afraid that it might have overturned. After all, the way of heaven is always far away and difficult to know, so what people can do is to prepare for a rainy day.
How to prepare for a rainy day at sea? Naturally, it is to control the quantity as much as possible, the quality as good as possible, and the location as good as possible...
The port!
And Mangbai... was praised by the people of Tianzhu in later generations as being comparable to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Since it's so good... Li Sheng smiled unkindly, then of course he will be my Datang's toy from now on...
…
The two conversations that night and Li Sheng's moment of contemplation, although no one was watching in this foreign and wild place, and even the crew members rarely noticed.
But invisibly, a port city that will be of infinite value in future generations determines its future destination.
Of course...this is just the beginning.
What can determine the fate of a city, a port, a group of people...or anything else is the outcome of a military conflict.
Early autumn of the sixth year of Zhenguan.
At that time, Lingzhou College re-enrolled students, and it was expected to increase by 50% in five years. The number of students in the current class has reached one thousand.
At that time, the city of Lingzhou was buzzing with gongs and drums, and merchants and students were busy coming and going.
At that time, the foreign Roman Empire first sent a group of merchants to the large market of Lingzhou to express condolences.
At that time, a girl who had been immersed in studying in the new temple of Lingzhou College led more than a hundred shipwrights and craftsmen. After only a short basic, but fortunately very professional bomb-dropping training, she was thousands of miles away.
In the wild land outside, they faced thousands of terrifying elephant armies.
They were defeated at the beginning of the battle, but with the power of the "grenade" and the power of shock, although the Indian elephant soldiers suffered no serious damage, the elephants were frightened, fled and abandoned, trampling on each other, causing no reckoning of casualties, and the soldiers retreated.
Mangbai...
Finally, after a battle, it changed from a place name used only for marking and discussion to the name of a city that stood firm despite being extremely simple and primitive, with only wooden buildings.
but……
Li Sheng watched all this process calmly and indifferently from the merchant ship on the shore.
After the battle, King Luo Bin returned to the bow of the ship, stood beside Li Sheng, and secretly looked at Li Sheng, as if he was facing a god and did not dare to look directly.
The whole process, from the perspective of someone who does not understand military affairs, Li Sheng was so greedy for life that he simply slipped onto the ship and almost ran away.
But King Luo Bin knew that the ship Li Sheng was on did not raise its mast at all...
In other words, only King Luo Bin saw that although Li Sheng had slipped onto the ship, he obviously planned to run away when the situation went wrong.
but……
It had just become clear that several times, the elephant soldiers rushed directly to the shore and might board the ship at any time.
However, during the entire process, Li Sheng did not touch the mast, ropes or sails of the ship at all.
This also means that from beginning to end, Li Sheng was either extremely courageous and never panicked at all.
Or, Li Sheng had anticipated the outcome of the entire battle and knew it clearly...
No matter which one it is, King Luo Bin can only say this...
I used to often hear people say that my mentor was the reincarnation of Zhuge - King Luo Bin had no idea about this statement at all, because he didn't know much about Zhuge Liang, and his impression was that he was a bit pretentious...
However, today, King Luo Bin really experienced the terrifying feeling of facing ghosts and gods...
Li Shengze didn't pay that much attention at all.
Whether it was King Luo Bin who was sighing quietly, Asmin who was cleaning the blood, or Li Sheng... although it sounded cruel, they didn't even look at it.
At this moment, Li Sheng was only interested in one thing.
Just now... this group of elephant soldiers was stampeded because the elephants were frightened by grenades and fled in all directions. Although they won by a trick, the casualties on the other side were not small.
Li Sheng naturally wanted to observe the weapons in the hands of the elephant soldiers who fell to the ground!
