Chapter 348 The refitted warship

"Your Highness's words really made me feel ashamed, and it was even better than decades of hard study!"

Feng Ang's expression was very complicated. He had read a lot of books, but he had never seen any records of this content in any book.

He was in no mood to pay attention to the two generals fighting on the side, and kept thinking about the mistakes on the warship.

"Duke Geng is serious. Anyone who is careful can find out what I just said. Be careful and there is no big mistake."

Feng Ang had a very good attitude towards admitting his mistake, and Xiao Zhengtai had no intention of making things difficult for him.

After just walking around the warship, Xiao Zhengtai knew that it would take at least several years for the Tang Dynasty to invade the sea.

With your current ability, if you want to go deep into the sea, there is no difference between suicide.

From beginning to end, the officials of the court believed that humans lived on this vast land, and food, clothing, housing and transportation needed land to provide them.

It was a gift from nature to them, but instead excluded the extremely rich sea. What a stupid decision.

If the Linde Hall had not been accidentally collapsed by Li Er, Xiao Zhengtai would have taken this opportunity to develop a waterway so that the court could see the profits on the waterway, and I would have probably built a wharf and built a ship in the future.

Xiao Zhengtai could not recognize the warships that the Tang Dynasty already had, so before he came, he had already delivered the design drawings to Li Er.

There is no doubt that Li Er had no doubt about Xiao Zhengtai’s request and directly agreed.

But there is one reason that must be asked Xiao Zhengtai to agree, that is, the father will support you unconditionally, as long as you want to be, the premise is that you must never withdraw money.

Therefore, many areas in Shu have begun to develop this new type of ship. Of course, all the shipbuilding work was taken over by the old Yin cargo chief Sun Wuji.

He could provide warships to the royal family for free, but the construction rights of the new merchant ship must be his Changsun family.

In this regard, Xiao Zhengtai naturally won’t have any complaints. He can get benefits and also allow the Changsun family to gain considerable benefits. It can be said that he can kill two birds with one stone.

The message was transmitted very slowly in Lingnan from Chang'an, otherwise Feng Ann would never have shown up with these broken ships.

This kind of ship is OK if it doesn’t penetrate deep into the sea. Once it goes deep into the sea, it can be said that it has gone but no return.

Anyway, they were just to wipe out pirates in the nearby waters, so the requirements for warships were not very high, so Xiao Zhengta did not mention rebuilding the ship.

Feng Ang's movements were also quite rapid. In just two days, all the suggestions mentioned by Xiao Zhengtai were improved.

Xiao Zhengtai didn't dare to neglect the slightest. The Tang Dynasty knew too little about the sea.

So Xiao Zhengtai has been making up for the lessons for Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu during this period.

There were even some important aspects that he forced the two to memorize their deathbeds. These experiences can sometimes be saved in the sea.

Especially in this naval battle, the father attached great importance to this, so this battle must be fought beautifully.

"Your Highness, you have improved all the warships according to your instructions. Please give me more advice."

At this moment, Feng Ang rushed over and reported respectfully.

Xiao Zhengtai naturally did not dare to neglect this, so he stepped onto the warship again for inspection.

As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless. Once these warships leave here, there is an endless ocean below them. He absolutely does not want any flaws on his warships.

"Yes, all these things have been improved, which can improve the success rate of at least three levels."

Looking at the newly repaired knots and rounded table corners, Xiao Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

The main force that wiped out the pirates this time was the navy brought by Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu in Dongting. The Feng family was just responsible for going to sea and refused to give it to them.

Although the chance of encountering pirates is quite low, it does not mean that they will definitely not be able to meet them.

"Duke Geng, although the main task of the Feng family this time is to escort, you must not make any mistakes in your actions. Once you encounter pirates on the sea, what else do you do?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhengta still felt that it would be better to ask, after all, he has not found any weapons yet.

"Your Highness, who made the battle compete with the accuracy of the archers?"

After pondering for a while, Feng Ang started to ask carefully that in the past, he used to fight warships close to the enemy, and then killed them, or consumed them with bows and arrows from a long range.

Now that His Highness asked, he was a little overwhelmed. His Highness was smart and he thought he was not his opponent, so he had no confidence in answering this time.

"What? Do you really think pirates are fools, and will stand there waiting for you to go over and shoot with bows and arrows?"

Such an answer almost made Xiao Zhengtai squirt blood directly. Is it so funny? No wonder the Tang Dynasty has been unable to fight over the years, and it is really not their fault.

In this way, the entire army was wiped out, and it was obvious that the enemy was not much smarter than them.

"Brother Chumo, bring the weapons brought by this prince."

Xiao Zhengtai shook her head helplessly and was too lazy to explain to them, so she directly issued an order to Cheng Chumo.

As long as the bow and arrow are not fools, the enemy can cover it by finding something, and even hide in the cabin will leave them helpless.

When Cheng Chumo left, Xiao Zhengtai arranged for someone to wrap around the warship in metal, which made Feng Ang speechless.

He understood His Highness's approach, much more savage than him. Metals ensured the toughness of his warship, and those corners hitting are the enemy's nightmare.

Feng Ang had no doubt about the impact of the warship. Under huge inertia, as long as he hit the enemy's warship, the enemy would inevitably end up with the ship breaking and sinking.

What Cheng Chumo ordered people to arrange almost made Feng Ang's eyes fly out, and rows of strong bows as thick as babies' thighs were placed at the bow of the boat.

There were already ropes on the free ground behind, and the bullet discharger in front was filled with bows and arrows as thick as adults' waists.

Feng Ang swallowed his saliva with difficulty. If this thing was launched, the slightly weak ship would probably be torn to pieces at the first time.

Originally, the imperial court sent 100,000 naval troops to wipe out the pirates this time, but Feng Ang felt that His Majesty was a bit useless. Now it seems that this is not to suppress bandits, it is clearly to come to bully people.

When the Feng family saw these different warships, they were even more convinced that they would win this time when they went to sea.

I also know that they cannot be used to kill pirates, and their main purpose is logistics supply.

So these days, they have been collecting citrus in Lingnan in large quantities. Because it is not yet a good harvest, the citrus are so sour and refreshing now.

But this thing was prepared by His Highness, and no one dared to refute it. Even if you go to the sea in the future, it is still an unknown number.
