Chapter 485 Watch Your Highness

Anyway, they are all unpowered sail battleships. No matter how they are changed, many things on them are the same. It took about two hours for Li Zhilong to make his men familiar with them. Apart from not being able to fire cannons, In other aspects, it was not much different from their warship, so it immediately started setting sail.

During the process of leaving the port, Li Zhilong also discovered that this kind of sail was much more advanced than theirs. Even if they encountered headwinds, after calculation, they could move forward, which was more suitable for ocean sailing.

"Your Highness, do you want to get on the boat too?"

Li Zhilong said with some worry that he would take his brothers to the sea to try. This was an uncertain battle. If he took Li Xiang there, he would be worried at all times. If Li Xiang Something happened and the whole family was dead.

"Don't you usually train a lot? We either go out to fight or go sailing on the sea. Besides, it's sunny and sunny now, and there's no bad weather. What's there to worry about?"

Li Zhilong took a look at the sky in the distance and it was indeed what Li Xiang said. According to his experience, there will definitely be no problems with the weather recently. If you are just sailing offshore, nothing will happen, not to mention Li Zhilong The elephant has already gone up, so we can't drag His Highness down again.

There are a total of 150 sailors of all types on the ship, which is also the standard establishment. Of course, most of them should serve the surrounding artillery, but no one knows how to fire the cannon yet. Everyone ran to help, and in a short time , the ship has already left the port.

"The sailing speed is really too fast, and the rudder is also very easy to use. It can turn much better than our Tang Dynasty naval warships. It can be said that it is a surpass in every aspect. Where did your Highness get the blueprint? This kind of warship is simply an era ahead of ours."

Li Zhilong said very happily, if Li Xiang came to see them, they would all be wooden boats. How could there be such a big difference? But Li Zhilong is an expert. He just took a walk and knew that this kind of warship is much better than the warships of the Tang Dynasty. After all, this is something from a thousand years later. In this thousand years, our Naval warships have also been developed for several generations.

After a few hours, Li Zhilong's men were basically able to operate it. Although they were not very familiar with it, as long as they were given a period of practice, they would soon be able to master such a warship. On the way back, Li Xiang also saw Many people are interested in artillery. Although this is a relatively backward front-loading artillery, it is definitely the best in the world in this day and age.

Regarding the application of artillery, Li Xiang asked his people. As long as they were redeemed from the system, they would basically use the weapons in the system. Therefore, when they landed, Li Xiang left forty instructors with them. In addition to teaching them how to sail a boat, these people also need to teach them how to fire a cannon.

Li Xiang also tested the power of the artillery shell. It looked like a big black ball, but the gunpowder inside was still very powerful. The range was about five kilometers, and the explosion power was equivalent to three to four grenades. It was still OK to use.

Li Xiang directly redeemed forty third-level warships, which can be regarded as training ships for them first. When they are almost used, Li Xiang will redeem them in large quantities. Now the points are no longer a problem for Li Xiang. Well, just taking the victory over the capital city of Goguryeo as an example, the points can be used to form a navy, and the previous points are not used at all.

When Li Xiang returned to his tent, Qin Huaiyu also came back from outside. He learned that Li Xiang had been drifting on the sea for a day today, but this boy was frightened. The general just left today, and you ran away. We have gone to sea. We can be sure of everything on land, but we can't mess with things at sea. If something happens, won't the emperor kill the whole camp? Who makes you the grandson of the Tang Dynasty?

"My Highness, can you give us people a way to survive? We have just made such great achievements, and the imperial court has issued a reward decree. We have not warmed up while sleeping in our arms. You are about to go sailing on the sea. Can you go anywhere on the sea? Ten ships can capsize eight. If something happens to us, it’s still okay. But if something happens to you, will we still be alive? "

Qin Huaiyu has now completely forgotten the superiority of elders and younger ones. Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda also ran back from outside in a hurry, just because they knew that Li Xiang was on board. It is really too dangerous to sail on the sea in this era.

Although Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang didn't speak, it can be seen from their expressions that they are also very dissatisfied with Li Xiang's behavior. You old man must always understand who you are. Ordinary people who drown will not die. You will drown. If you take a sip of water at sea, Chang'an City may undergo great changes. Who will bear this responsibility then?

"Okay, okay, the warship I took out is different from what you imagined. It is not as fragile as you thought. Soon our navy will be established. By then you will know why I dare to go into the water. First Have you contacted them about the two countries to the south?"

Li Xiang quickly found a topic to talk about. If he didn't find a topic, he didn't know how long these three people would interrogate him. Looking at the expressions on their faces, it must have been discussed long ago.

Li Xiang really guessed this right. The three of them knew that the Dengzhou Navy was coming. If His Highness wanted to board the ship and sail at any time, then they really couldn't agree to this matter. After all, what happened on the sea No one can decide. If there is a natural disaster, everyone will not be able to account for their achievements in Goguryeo, and their whole family will be questioned.

"The things in the south are not important. Let's talk about today's things first. Your Highness must agree to us. If you really want to board the ship and sail in the future, at least two of the three of us must accompany you. If you don't agree to this, today The three of us will report nothing."

Su Dingfang boldly said that they had been with Li Xiang for a long time and knew that Li Xiang was not the kind of person to pressure others with things. Moreover, this matter was related to their lives and wealth, so they had to get Li Xiang's approval. , otherwise they would not dare to let Li Xiang board the ship again...
