Capital Datang

Chapter 305 Preparations for Dengzhou

When Li Yin's fleet arrived at Dengzhou port, Zhao Fu and Lu Hong naturally brought a group of people to greet them, and then Li Yin did not break his promise, and took Wen Xin, Xi Jun, his mother and daughter, and the family of four got on the train. They also got a taste of the charm of the steam age.It's just that both Wen Xin and Xi Jun have doubts and fears about this kind of big guy who spews smoke. Only Chou Chou, who is only a few months old, doesn't know what it means to be afraid, and claps his little hands and giggles.

After returning to Prince Qi’s Mansion in the city, Wen Xin ordered his servants to decorate the palace. After all, he had been away for more than a year. Although there were servants to clean it, some places still needed to be revised. Make a big change.And Li Yin immediately brought Zhao Fu and Lu Hong to the study, asking about the latest trends in Silla and Baekje. txtxiazai

"His Royal Highness, Wa has accepted Baekje's invitation, and has sent [-] elite troops across the sea to enter the battlefield between Baekje and Silla. With the addition of this new force, Baekje launched a counterattack and sent Xinluo Luo drove out of his own territory, and also occupied several cities of Silla, and Silla lost a lot of troops with one against two, and the domestic situation is very bad now!" Lu Hong said with a smile .

When Baekje had just discussed borrowing troops with Wa, the Queen of Silla sent someone to ask them for help, hoping that Dengzhou could send a navy to block the strait between Wa and the mainland, and it would be best to capture both islands in the strait. Come down, but Lu Hong has not responded.

"That's right, let Silla suffer a little bit first, and use up their troops by the way, then we can control it better!" Li Yin nodded after hearing this, and the marriage between Jin Shengman and him has been decided. Come down, but this is a political marriage in the first place, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all, so as long as he tries to weaken the chance of Silla, he will never give up.Capital Datang 305

"Haha~, Your Highness, you don't know that Silla has indeed suffered a lot!" Zhao Fu also laughed.

"Oh, what's going on?" Li Yin asked with great interest.

"Your Highness, although the people from the Wa Kingdom were short in stature, they were extremely cruel. They did not leave any prisoners on the battlefield. They killed two or 3000 people in Silla at once, and after occupying several small cities in Silla, those people from the Wa Kingdom even Slaughtering cities one by one, even Baekje people are very disgusted with their behavior. Silla hates the Japanese country even more. It threatens to kill the Japanese country in the future to avenge today's revenge!" Lu Hong said with a smile, although the new Tens of thousands of Luo died, but that was not Datang, so how many people died was none of their business.

After hearing this, Li Yin sneered again and again, as expected, dogs can't change their eating shit. No matter what era they are in, the cruelty in the bones of this island nation has not changed a bit. Fortunately, I came to the era of Datang.After cleaning up Silla and Baekje, it will be their turn. At that time, I must drive the evil wolf around me into the abyss of eternal doom!

Thinking of cleaning up the Japanese kingdom, Li Yin clenched his fists tightly, and then asked in a deep voice: "Lu Hong, how is Lu Qing's navy preparing? Are they capable of fighting now?"

After controlling the island of Taiwan last time, Li Yin also made reforms in the military. One of them was to let Lu Qing reorganize the navy, eliminate all the old and weak, and conduct unified training. In the end, only the The elite of 5000 people, and this time for Silla.Li Yin immediately transferred 1 people, led by Lu Qing himself.

"His Royal Highness, the navy has completed its training and has formed a preliminary combat capability. Some time ago, it swept away a few big pirates in the open sea, and took over the Liuqiu Islands by the way!" Lu Hong smiled. He bowed and answered.

"Oh? Even the Liuqiu Islands have been captured?" Li Yin said excitedly.

"Your Highness does not know that although Liuqiu Islands is not big, it is still divided into three kingdoms: Shannan, Shanbei and Zhongshan. The pirates are stronger than them, so as soon as our navy arrived, they immediately scared them to surrender on the spot, and there was no conflict at all!" Lu Hong explained with a smile.

Li Yin thinks so too, the Liuqiu Islands are such a small place, there are not many people at all, Lu Qing's more than 1 navy sailed there, probably more than the population of their whole country, how can we fight?Even if the opponent is Marquis Wu Fusheng, he probably has to surrender.

"How is Huli? Has the manpower in Dengzhou been integrated?" Li Yin then asked.The last time he came back from Taiwan, Huli stayed in Dengzhou and was responsible for integrating the slave hunting team in Dengzhou as the main land force. After all, Silla and Baekje mainly fought on land, and there was no army. No way.

Zhao Fu stepped forward and replied: "General Tiger has completely integrated the slave hunting team, with a total of more than [-] people. Now he is conducting emergency training for these people together with General Zhou who came from Taiwan. Everything is in order. It's going well, I heard from them that they can go out at any time!"

"There are so many people?" Li Yin was shocked when he heard that. He really didn't expect that there are more than 1 people in Dengzhou's slave hunting team. If you add other people from different industries, it is estimated that the entire Dengzhou is engaged in the slave trade. There must be at least 5 people, and it really is an extremely huge industry.

"Your Highness, slave hunting is a major industry in our Dengzhou. It used to be one of the pillar industries. Now, due to the rise of food processing, fishing, and maritime trade, the proportion of income from slave hunting has been greatly reduced. It is also one of the important industries in Dengzhou!" Zhao Fu explained.Now the slave hunting team in Dengzhou is no longer limited to Silla and Baekje, and has begun to reach out to the Wa Kingdom and Khitan on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing this, Li Yin nodded in satisfaction. At first he thought that relying on the slave-catching team alone would not be able to gather many troops, so he had already greeted Zhang Jian from the Anton Governor's Mansion, and then borrowed some soldiers from him to enter. Silla, but now it seems that the more than 1 people in his hands are enough to affect the war situation between the two countries.

But Li Yin suddenly thought of another thing, and then asked: "By the way, all the slave hunting teams in Dengzhou are gathered together this time. Did the people behind the team express dissatisfaction?"

The slave hunting team is a sharp weapon for making money. Now that Li Yin has integrated the slave hunting team, the people behind the slave hunting team will naturally suffer some losses. The Dengzhou slave hunting team is divided into two types, one is the local slave hunters The other is the slave hunting team controlled by the princes and aristocrats in Chang'an. Of course, the slave hunting teams of the princes and nobles don't have to worry about it. Li Yin has already said hello. The reaction of the slave trader.

"Your Highness, don't worry, haven't you already promised that as long as this war is over, those slave hunters will have a bigger source of income. It's easy, so when they heard that His Highness wanted to give them a bigger source of income, they were all too happy, so why would they object?" Lu Hong also said.

Li Yin nodded after hearing this. It seems that his reputation is not bad. With just a simple promise, he can hand over the slave hunting team in the hands of the slave hunters in Dengzhou.Capital Datang 305

Next, Li Yin asked about other matters, such as the domestic livelihood of Silla and Baekje after nearly a year of war, and according to Lu Hong, the two countries are now in a state of anger, and even because of Too many people died in the war, and the agriculture was destroyed, so many people could not eat. This also led to continuous uprisings by victims of disasters in various places. Therefore, the two countries not only have to face powerful enemies abroad, but also suppress domestic "chaos" In the end, if Li Yin hadn't participated, the two countries should have stopped fighting and made peace long ago.

Hearing this information, Li Yin was also shocked. He did not expect that the situation between the two countries has become so serious. It seems that he can no longer "force" Silla, otherwise the two countries may really let go of their prejudices and make peace. After all, no matter how you say it, hatred is not as important as the survival of the two countries, so the royal families of the two countries will definitely find ways to stabilize their own rule first, and then they are the enemies abroad.

After learning about the situation in Silla and Baekje, Li Yin asked about the development of Dengzhou, and found that all industries were developing well, especially the shipbuilding industry, which was already very prosperous, and now it is advancing by leaps and bounds. Almost every shipbuilding industry The factory has endless orders, and all of them are new sea-going ships. After all, the maritime trade in the south is developing rapidly, and sea-going ships are used everywhere. Although the two types of ships designed by Li Yin have been spread, other places The shipyards can also be built, but they need to charge a certain patent fee, but the shipyard here in Dengzhou has the best business. After all, the reputation has long been spread, and most people still like to book ships here.

In addition, Li Yin also specifically asked Zhao Fu about Yifan's situation. Last time, she said that she designed a steamship, but now she doesn't know how the design is going. Has she started manufacturing it?

As a result, Zhao Fu smiled wryly and said, "His Royal Highness, if you have time, you should try to persuade Yifan. A few days ago, she had transformed a car and boat into a steamboat, but for some unknown reason, it sank as soon as it entered the water. She was on the boat at that time, almost died, and now she is desperately designing a new boat and preparing to build another one."

When Li Yin heard that Yifan was almost in danger, he was startled at the time, thinking that this little girl is really daring, at the beginning he strictly forbade her to go on the boat for experimentation, but she still refused to listen, luckily she is fine.But seeing Zhao Fu's worried look, Li Yin also felt sorry, after all, he only had one daughter, if something good or bad happened, how would an old man like him live?

Thinking of this, Li Yin immediately comforted Zhao Fu, saying that he would criticize Yifan severely, and promised that such things would never happen again.This finally made Zhao Fu relax a little bit.

Lu Hong heard them talking about Yifan, but he smiled and said nothing. After the two of them had finished talking, he bowed to Li Yin and said, "Your Highness, since you and the Queen of Silla are already engaged, why don't you arrange the marriage sooner?" so as not to cause another accident?"
