Chapter 438 The purpose of developing the navy

After Li Yan agreed to Du Huangshang's conditions, he did not forget to knock on him.

Indeed, during this period, Li Yan had definitely given Du Huangshang a small training session. Before the Jiedushi Li Yan just wanted him to participate in the experience of the outside world, but Yan Zhuang and his team suddenly encountered Yi Luohe in the Beiting Protectorate, which disrupted Li Yan's plan.

However, even though he encountered some danger and almost lost his life here, Du Huangshang learned a lot along the way.

Li Yan also understood that although Du Huangshang had a good position in the Sima position in Pingzhou, he could make great achievements, but compared with the Longyou Road that had just been taken back, it was much worse. This is the place where he could achieve political achievements. Du Huangshang obviously had seen this through his official father.

Li Neng's last advice to him was obviously to let Du Huangshang understand that since he had such an opportunity, he would not speak anymore, but since he had chosen Longyou Dao now, he had to practice in Longyou Dao for several years. If he had been clamoring to go to other places again for a year or two, Li Neng would never give him a good face.

Of course, Du Huangshang also understood the principle that the Yangtze River's younger waves pushed the previous waves. Although he and Hong Yuan were the top scorers and second-tier students this year, and were far ahead of other Jinshi, this was just this year. The imperial examinations will be held every year, and Li Neng will also select outstanding candidates from them every year. If he doesn't work hard, Li Neng will definitely not look at him so differently in three years.

So Du Huangshang was also secretly convinced in his heart that in Yizhou, the hinterland of Longyou Dao, not far from Guannei Dao, he had to make something. Since Li Yan set the position of the prefect to Yan Zhuang, Du Huangshang immediately thought that this appointment would not be made public. Although Yan Zhuang had the title of prefect, his main energy must be focused on the things that were carried out in secret. Whether he should assist Yan Zhuang or Yan Zhuang to help him, he had to speak with his own ability.

After arranging Du Huangshang and Li Qing dressed neatly, he brought Lei Wanchun and more people than he had come, and prepared to return to Chang'an City.

Although Li Siye left 40,000 more people, this time Li Neng took away 30,000 more people. If all the soldiers had to be incorporated, the number would actually be even greater. However, Li Neng had already given them the opportunity to choose whether he was recapturing Li Baochen's men or Pugu Huaien's men.

Many soldiers no longer wanted to continue fighting after such changes. For such soldiers, Li Nai naturally let them go freely. The 30,000 people were left after a two-way choice.

Li Neng has decided to leave at least 10,000 Hong Yuan to enrich his navy army with the additional 30,000 troops.

Since Li Neng wanted to re-establish the Tang Dynasty naval army in the east, a thousand and eight hundred people were definitely not enough. The reason why Li Neng did not increase troops to Hong Yuan as soon as possible was because his focus during this period was indeed on the affairs of the governor, and the second was that Hong Yuan was a young man who had just arrived after all, and Li Neng didn't know whether he could lead troops, train troops, and understand the navy. It was indeed necessary for Hong Yuan to make him familiar with the business of the navy with a thousand people.

To enrich the navy and build warships are the two things Li Yong is most eager to accomplish next.

Because in this world, you don’t have a fleet that can transnational oceans, everything is equal to zero. In the end, no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, it can only play back and forth with several tribes around it on its own acre of one acre and three-point land. The Tang Dynasty can indeed have a certain development in the short term, but the people and soldiers do not know what the outside world is, and it is absolutely impossible.

Although it was a turbulent dynasty when he arrived, Li Qing's eyes were not just about allowing him to survive the disaster.

He could indeed enjoy life in Chang'an City after conquering tribes like Tubo and Uighurs, but since Li Qing became emperor, he felt that he could fully enjoy life while allowing the Tang Dynasty to develop.

He would not touch those objects that could not be produced in this era as in the brainless novels he saw in his previous life. He only knew one truth: to let the people eat enough and the army could fight.

Li Neng believed that when he really achieved these two results, the Tang Dynasty would definitely shine in this world.

In the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty, there are actually many countries with higher ends than the Uighurs and Tubo, including Japan, Goguryeo and Silla.

During the years when Li Longji was in power, in order to show his majesty of the superior country, the Tang Dynasty launched a system of sending the Tang envoys to the surrounding Hu people and small countries. The one who was most happy about this was Goguryeo and Silla, which was separated from the Tang Dynasty by the sea.

Li Longji was naturally very happy that his dynasty could attract such people to surrender, and these so-called envoys to send Tang Dynasty to enjoy life that they could not enjoy on their own territory.

It is precisely because of this that Silla and Goguryeo send envoys to the Tang Dynasty almost every year. To put it bluntly, they came to the Tang Dynasty for free.

Previously, Chang'an City and Luoyang were suddenly severely damaged by An Lushan, which immediately calmed down these countries. However, Li Qing emerged from nowhere and quickly quelled the rebellion. After the Tang Dynasty returned to a stable state again, these places could no longer bear it. They had submitted letters of nationality to Li Qing more than once, asking when they could send the Tang envoy to the Tang Dynasty again.

Li Qing doesn't care about low-level free sex like Silla and Goguryeo. He spends some money to let them eat and drink, and can also give his own Tang Dynasty a free publicity. Why not do it?

But one of these things has long since left the stage of being a low-level free-for-service prostitution. Judging from the fact that the letter of state and the envoys sent to Tang in the past few decades, Li Wen has discovered the clues.
