Capital Datang

On the vast and endless blue sea, a seagull gave a long cry, and slanted across the sea, causing a white mark to appear on the sapphire-like sea.A blackness suddenly floated on the sea in the distance, and then a thick water column rose into the sky. This was a huge whale spitting water.

This is the sea surface at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and it is also the place where Dengzhou goes to the Wa Kingdom and Baekje. , so there are not many ships passing by on this sea route. Occasionally, a fleet passes by, and most of them are transported to the country of Japan with cotton cloth, glass and other commodities produced in the Tang Dynasty, in exchange for the silver or sulfur that debuted there. ． org

However, on today's not-so-busy sea route, a huge fleet suddenly appeared. Huge lucky boats were lying across the sea, each captain was a hundred paces away, and their hard sails were full The wind picked up and headed northeast all the way.

These lucky boats are divided into four floors, but they are not as tall as the previous building boats, but most of them are inside the hull. In this way, the waterline is guaranteed to be deep enough and the boats can be more stable. .And on the uppermost floor of these lucky boats, there are many bed crossbows and catapults, and there are soldiers in armor standing beside them. It is clear at a glance that these boats are warships.

Fu Chuan and Galen Ship are two new types of ships designed by Li Min. Although there have been many variants after improvements by various shipyards, they still fall within the scope of these two ship types in general.Because the artillery is still under development, the main warships are Fuchuan. The bow of this kind of ship is raised high, and the ram angle is added in front, which is very conducive to collision. Compared with the Galen ship, Fuchuan can come from all sides. Wind, you don’t have to worry about the direction of the wind, and the cost is also lower than that of a Galen ship, so it can be said to be a very ideal warship.Capital Datang 306

In the center of this fleet.It is a huge warship that is obviously one-third larger than the other warships. This is the handsome ship of the entire fleet, and at the bow of this ship, there is a middle-aged man in a green shirt standing There, the deep eyes looked at the sea in the distance, as if they saw the destination of their trip.

"General. Danluo is not far away. It is estimated that we will arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest." While the middle-aged man was contemplating, a burly young man came from behind to report.This young man looks to be about 25 or [-] years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, lion nose and wide mouth. He looks very mighty, but amidst this mighty, there is an unspeakable shrewdness. Talented.

"Well, is everyone in the army ready? Tomorrow Dan Luo must be captured!" The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi nodded and asked at the same time.In the Yellow Sea and East China Sea so close to Dengzhou.The only one who can command such a huge fleet is Lu Qing under Li Yin.

The so-called Danluo is actually the Jeju Island of the later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, Jeju Island was still an independent country, named Danluo.Although Danra is independent, it is sandwiched between Baekje and Wa, so it is actually controlled by these two countries.

"General Qi, the forty warships of the entire army are all ready, and a small one can definitely make a decision at one stroke!" the mighty young man said confidently.His surname is Zhu Mingchong, and his father Zhu Meng was originally the most trusted general under Yang Hao.Now both father and son are under Li Yin's command, except that Zhu Meng stayed in Taiwan to serve as the dean of the police headquarters, while Zhu Chong was assigned to the navy as Lu Qing's deputy.

"Although Danluo is small, it is still a country after all, so we should not be too careless. After all, there are Baekje and Wa on both sides. Although their warships are crude, the generals must not be careless!" Lu Qing I value Zhu Chong as a young man very much, so whenever I have the opportunity, I will teach him by precept and example.

"Yes, the general understands!" Zhu Chong also knew that General Lu in front of him was proficient in naval warfare and was highly valued by His Royal Highness King Qi, so he had always been very humble.

Then Lu Qing asked some questions about the recent situation of the fleet, and Zhu Chong also responded fluently, which made him nod in satisfaction. Smart and eager to learn, he is already middle-aged, and it is estimated that he will serve His Highness for another 20 years at most, and in the next few years, it will be the world of young people like Zhu Chong.

Seeing the satisfied expression on Lu Qing's face, Zhu Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He used to be in charge of a navy under Yang Hao, but he couldn't compare with the current fleet. There are forty warships, and some other small ships, together there are nearly 1 ships, and the number of people reaches [-]. It can be said that all the navies who came to Dengzhou from Taiwan are here.

Such a huge fleet cannot be commanded by Zhu Chong's ability at all, but Lu Qing manages it in an orderly manner, and Zhu Chong also knows that this is a rare opportunity to learn, so not only is he concerned about his own job He is very attentive to things, and even tries his best to learn in other aspects.

After talking about the business, Zhu Chong also relaxed, with a smile that didn't match his appearance and said: "General, when we take down Danluo, His Highness will marry the Queen of Silla, it's a pity we I can’t have this glass of wedding wine.”

When mentioning the marriage between Li Yin and the Queen of Silla, Lu Qing showed a trace of displeasure on his face. After all, he is an old minister of the Liang Kingdom, so he is naturally in the line of supporting the princess. Xin's position as concubine has become a threat, and Wen Xin has never had a child, so they, the old ministers of the Liang Kingdom, are a little anxious.

After Li Yin returned to Dengzhou, Zhao Fu and Lu Hong immediately proposed to let him marry Jin Shengman. After Li Yin thought about it, he did not object, so Zhao Fu immediately sent someone to notify Jin Shengman and asked her to marry him. Dengzhou got married, but Jin Shengman put forward a condition, that is, let Tang take down two small countries in the Tsushima Strait, Danluo and Tsushima, but finally after bargaining, Jin Shengman finally agreed, As long as Datang captures Danluo first, she will marry Li Yin immediately, and at the same time release Silla, allowing Li Yin's army to settle in, and Lu Qing's fleet is going to attack Danluo.

Zhu Chong also noticed the displeasure on Lu Qing's face. At that time, he also regretted his talkativeness. He even forgot that the princess in front of him was the number one princess. Uncle Yin's subordinates, Yang Yan, have nothing to do with Li Yin's inner house, so there is no need to worry about these messy things at all.

The fleet went all the way to the northeast, passing through the waters of Baekje. However, Baekje is a poor country and cannot afford any navy at all, and their shipbuilding technology is not good. There are only some simple small warships in the entire coastal area. The ship was patrolling, and as soon as they saw Datang's fleet like a castle on the sea, they were all scared and huddled in the port, and Lu Qing didn't want to trouble Baekje right now, so there was no conflict between the two parties. .

After passing Baekje, Danluo was already in sight, and soon Lu Qing arrived at their destination this time.Danluo is an island country, and because of its small size, the island's population is not large. When Lu Qing and his fleet arrived at Danluo, they found many simple boats fishing, but when they saw their big boats, these The small fishing boat fled to the island immediately, which made Lu Qing's soldiers burst into laughter.

Jeju Island has been a famous tourist attraction in later generations, and it has the title of "Sanduo", which are windy, rocky and women.When Lu Qing and the others approached here, they saw the same scene.Although the weather today is very sunny, the wind on the island is very strong, but Lu Qing and his warships are huge, and they are not afraid of the wind at all, so they easily reached a beach that is easy to dock, and then all the warships dropped anchor, everyone Go ashore slowly by boat.

Jeju Island is a typical volcanic island, and there are magma rocks everywhere on it. Originally, there were many residents on the white sandy beach, including many women.These residents were all busy on the beach, mending nets or repairing boats. They looked very peaceful, but when the fisherman fled back and sent back the news of the big boat, all the residents immediately dispersed in fright. Someone went to report to Danluo King. Now there are many Danluo men standing on the beach with weapons. Although they were all trembling with fright, they did not retreat. After all, their wives and children are all on the island, and there is no place to go. retreat.

The navy on the small boat kept shuttling between the sandy beach and the warship, bringing up 306 soldiers in one go. In the end, Lu Qing went ashore in the small boat himself. When his pair of sharkskin boots stepped on the beach, At that time, the soldiers who had already lined up in a neat square immediately shouted three times: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Capital Datang [-]

Such a murderous army immediately frightened the residents on the island a hundred steps away. Many people dropped their weapons such as harpoons and machetes to the ground, and even a few timid Frightened, they turned around and ran away. Most of these islanders were wearing clothes made of pigskin, their faces were tanned, and they looked almost like savages.

In fact, it’s no wonder they are so scared. The total population of the entire island is estimated to be around [-] people at most. However, Lu Qing and the others dispatched a whole fleet this time, which is more than their total population. , and now there are only a few hundred islanders on this beach, while Lu Qing and the others have three thousand soldiers in full armor. The strength of the two parties is simply not proportional.

Lu Qing and the others didn't pay attention to the hundreds of islanders at all. After the team was integrated, they wanted to drive away the islanders immediately, and then found King Danluo to "force" them to surrender.But at this moment, I suddenly saw a group of islanders coming out of the forest behind the beach. The leader was a middle-aged man in cotton clothes. Compared with other islanders wearing pigskin, this man was obviously a big shot .
