    ¡­

    I don¡¯t know what the navy and warships of the Tang Dynasty looked like.

    Li Chengqian suddenly became curious.

    We have come here from Jinan to Donglai. Now that the navy is in front of us, there is no one who can¡¯t help but see it.

    So Li Chengqian asked the Cao Shui military commander to take him to see their general.

    As the Xiaoyao King, the former Crown Prince, and the current Crown Prince's father, with this status in mind, this captain who lives on the coast of Shandong and has never seen an official of any age, of course does not dare to neglect him.

    Under the leadership of Captain Cao, Li Chengqian met the navy general named Yan.  General Yan belongs to the Yan family of Langya, one of the four major noble families in Shandong.  For Li Chengqian who wanted to watch naval training, especially as the inventor of artillery, he wanted to see how artillery was used on ships.  He did not dare to object and took Li Chengqian to see the military port.

    Seeing the tall warships, Li Chengqian couldn't help but admire the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding art.  This shipbuilding technology is something that no one else in the world has.  People in later generations exaggerated that the ships of the Tang Dynasty were so big that they could not even enter the Red Sea, and had to be replaced by smaller ships.  But this is an exaggeration. In future generations, even American aircraft carriers will be able to enter the Red Sea. How big of a ship must it be before it cannot enter the Red Sea?  But it can also be seen that the ships built in this era were indeed large enough, beyond people's imagination.

    From the shore to the ship, we patrolled everywhere, and saw familiar artillery on the bow deck, and also saw two familiar masters from the Gunpowder Bureau.  I forgot these two names, but Li Chengqian remembered them familiarly. One was a practical person and the other was a primary school mathematician.  The two of them actually came here on a business trip together.  It seems that they are also here to check the practicality of the artillery on the ship.

    The ground artillery unit can be trained by Chang'an.  Send out again.  But to install artillery on the ship, it cannot be temporarily assigned by Chang'an.  Instead, you need to practice it on the ship and then you can use it if you feel it works.

    After greeting them and asking about the current progress of the artillery, I heard that it has been tried out to sea several times and everything is being perfected.

    Li Chengqian suddenly wanted to go to sea and follow him.

    General Yan next to him was flattering and said, "There will be a sea training tomorrow at noon. Your Highness is willing to go and provide guidance?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Guidance.  This is a good word.

    I am a leader myself, I just like to guide others, hahaha, I must follow it tomorrow.

    ?????????????? I agreed to stay with General Yan, and stayed in the navy¡¯s tent, and I will board the ship with them tomorrow.

    Although it has been almost a month since he came to Shandong and he has been with Cheng Wenxiao, Li Chengqian has not eaten Cheng Wenxiao.

    When two people truly love each other, they will not be anxious to enjoy sexual satisfaction.  As long as the two of them are together, they are content.

    Of course, Cheng Wenxiao is observing filial piety now, so it is not suitable for her to do this.

    so.  They both sleep separately now.

    When Li Chengqian was about to sleep with Cheng Wenxiao separately, he took Cheng Wenxiao's hand and said, "If I ask you to stay, do you dare?"

    "Dare!" Cheng Wenxiao didn't even think about it.  Said: "Because you won't do anything to me that doesn't love me."

    After hearing this, Li Chengqian.  A smile appeared on his face.

    Not long after I fell asleep, I heard the sound of drums outside.  He sat up angrily, damn, it was still dark. When he walked out of the tent, he saw that a large number of soldiers had begun to gather. This was nonsense.

    Guarding the door were four Forbidden Soldiers and Lao Long. When asked, they didn¡¯t know what was going on, but judging from the reactions of other soldiers, the sound of the drum seemed to be a very common thing.

    At this time, others also woke up. Not long after Sister Hippo and Cheng Wenxiao came over, Monk Zhu also came over.

    After a while, General Yan came over and said, this is the assembly call for training.

    "Didn't you say noon?" Li Chengqian asked strangely.

    Could it be that there was something wrong with my ears last night, or that General Yan went back on his word?

    General Yan smiled, and then explained that the training at noon needs to be gathered before three or four in the morning. After everything is ready, it will be almost noon when we go out to sea and reach the training sea area.

    Well, Li Chengqian also started to wash up and have breakfast. At dawn, he followed the soldiers onto the warship.

    He boarded the captain's ship with General Yan. After all preparations were completed, the drums sounded like thunder, and the ship sailed out to sea.

    This is not the first time taking a boat. The last time I took a boat was a lifetime ago, so I don¡¯t feel any discomfort now. However, Cheng Wenxiao, Zhu Monk, and Lao Long soon began to feel uncomfortable.?Seasick.

    Their seasickness did not affect this training. The naval forces conducted various trainings to attack imaginary enemies in an orderly manner. The important training was, of course, setting up fake target ships and letting the artillery aim at them.

    ??The whole process is based on people shouting when you are close, and relying on the sound of drums when you are close.

    Li Chengqian is sitting next to General Yan. This is the main general's platform, and below is the war drum, or the order drum.  It was as loud as thunder and made my ears ring.

    After more than two hours, the training subjects were completed and the warship returned to port!

    After getting off the boat, Li Chengqian did not vomit, but everyone else who followed him did. Li Chengqian had to help Cheng Wenxiao and Sister Hippo get off the boat together.

    When we got off the boat, General Yan had already had the carriage ready and waiting here.

    He made preparations considering that Li Chengqian was a landlubber in Chang'an, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian didn't get seasick or vomited, and now the carriage was given to Cheng Wenxiao and the others.  After sending Cheng Wenxiao onto the carriage, Li Chengqian no longer needed to support him. While walking towards the military camp, General Yan said regretfully: "The navy is not advanced enough. With just this drum sound, I'm afraid that after the navy retires, the ears will be damaged."  It doesn¡¯t work very well!¡±

    "Yes, yes, be loyal to the country!" General Yan is very good at talking.

    "Don't you know the flag order?" Li Chengqian asked strangely, "And the lantern language?"

    General Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that a colleague said that the former prince was a person who loved to invent new and useful things. Now that he said this, he thought of a new method. If he could get it from his mouth,  With the new navy training method, the navy under your command will fight even more fiercely, and the military merit will still belong to you.  Good thing.  So he quickly asked: "Your Highness, what is the flag order and what is the lantern language?"

    "The flag order is to take flags of different colors and wave them from a distance so that people on the other ship can see them and understand what the order is!" Li Chengqian said as he walked.

    General Yan lowered his head, thinking about the role of the flag order mentioned by Li Chengqian.

    "You can use three colors: red, blue, and yellow. Then decide what kind of gesture you want to use, and then use it." Li Chengqian waved to him and said, "You know, like your drums, it won't work. If  If the wind is against us, the sound of the drums will not be heard!¡±
