Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 154 Set sail
Chapter 207 Set sail
There are only four short words to cancel the voyage. As long as Li Chengqian utters these four words, this dangerous sport can be cancelled.

but…

Everything is difficult at the beginning. In history, after the compass was invented in the Song Dynasty, navigation developed rapidly and began to go to sea.

But now, Li Chengqian also has a compass, and has a more exquisite shipbuilding technology than Da Song, so why can't he go to sea?
This is an ambition and an ideal!
Great Tang, Megatron Quartet... This Quartet does not only refer to the countries around the Tang Dynasty, but all the countries in the world!

It can be said that Datang already has the conditions to go to sea, what is lacking now is experience.

But isn't this experience accumulated from one experience after another?

As long as the Maritime Silk Road is opened, what will be left to Datang will be mountains of gold and silver. At that time, Datang will never worry about resources, and the prosperity of Datang will not only last for nearly a hundred years like a flash in the pan. wither.

Now is just the beginning, after the success, it will be the time when the Maritime Silk Road will rise!
"Zheng He…"

Looking at the solemn Zheng He, Li Chengqian couldn't bear to refuse after all.

"If you're sure, go ahead, tell me what's missing, and I'll take care of it!"

Since he chose to support it, then Li Chengqian decided to support it to the end!

"I don't need anything, as long as His Highness supports you!"

...

Three days later, the port of Guangzhou.

Dozens of large ships were docked at the port, and there were many sailors standing beside the ships.

The main ship this time was the "Conqueror", which was named by Li Chengqian himself.

Standing on the boat, Zheng He looked at the Guangzhou officials who sent them away by the pier, his eyes gradually became firmer.

This is an opportunity to prove myself, more than a year of hard work, just for this dynasty!
For some reason, Zheng He had a faint impulse in his heart. He always felt that he was born to conquer the sea.

If you can't conquer the sea, then sink to the bottom of the sea with the waves!

The ancients liked to pick an auspicious time before doing big things. For big things like going to sea, they must also choose an auspicious time.

Li Chengqian and others stood on the pier, while Zheng He and others stood on the boat.

There is only a sea several meters wide between the two sides, but this sea is hope...

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zheng He began to command the sailors under the watchful eyes of Li Chengqian and a group of Guangzhou officials.

The mast was raised slowly, and the sails swayed with the wind.

Gradually, dozens of large ships set sail, facing the warm sun, heading towards the line between the sea and the sky.

Li Chengqian looked at the gradually disappearing boat shadow, couldn't help exhaling heavily, and murmured: "I hope you can return safely, and when you come back, tell me everything overseas..."

Cai Jiu who was next to him heard his murmur, and immediately put on a flattering smile on his face, rubbed his hands together and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, there are thousands of people going to sea this time, and there are bows and crossbows on board, so it shouldn't be too late." Something unexpected will happen."

"Besides, we are a caravan, and we are doing business with other countries on behalf of Datang. Those overseas countries are scrambling to do business with Datang, so how can we do anything to Datang's fleet?"

"Hehe, I hope so!"

Li Chengqian smiled softly.

Many of the routes passed this time were countries that the Tang Dynasty had never visited before, and there were many ferocious natives among them, just like the so-called American Empire and British Empire, which are still natives.

In the words of Datang, even if they are still hozens who have not evolved into adults at this moment, it is simply not enough evidence.

Currently in the world, there are only three empires whose strength is not bad.

One is the Arab Empire, which is commonly known as the Great Food Kingdom in Tang Dynasty, and the other two are the Byzantine Empire and the Frankish Empire.

Among them, the Great Food Kingdom has the strongest national power, and it is also the only world-class power in the world that can rival the Great Tang.

Economically, it can rival Datang, but culturally, it is ahead of Datang in terms of philosophy, architecture, and medicine.

However, applied technologies such as metallurgy and shipbuilding lagged behind Datang. Those merchants from the Great Food Kingdom who liked nautical trade all liked to use Datang's ships because they were cheap and durable.

Made in China, it has been world-renowned as early as the Tang Dynasty!

However, the relationship between the Great Food Kingdom and Datang is not bad now. So far, there has been no war between the two empires.

The Tang Dynasty did not dare to do anything because of the Tubo and Turks next door, while the Great Food Kingdom did not dare to do anything because of the Byzantine Empire.

The Byzantine Empire was established for a relatively short period of time, so it needed to expand its power.

For the Byzantine Empire, the Food Country was a cornucopia of experience.

The two empires often fought wars in Asia Minor and at sea, and the Great Food Kingdom had always had the upper hand in land battles due to its rich experience.

But in naval battles, because the navy of the Byzantine Empire has a long history and rich heritage, and invented a new weapon "Greek Fire", although the number is small, it has repeatedly defeated the Great Food Kingdom and gained an advantage.

This is how the two sides come and go, consuming each other, so this is also the reason why the Great Food Kingdom dare not send troops to attack Datang.

These two world-class empires both wanted to swallow each other's territory, but because of the restrictions of neighboring countries, both sides could only give up this idea.

If you can't be an enemy, then just be friends.

So over the years, Datang and Dashiguo have been like glue, and the best can't be better.

The Byzantine Empire and the Great Food Kingdom were restraining each other and would never take action against the Tang Dynasty. As for the Frankish Empire, they were still in the process of reform and would definitely have no time to pay attention to the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, as long as the Datang fleet does not experience storms at sea, there is basically no problem in sailing around.

...

After the fleet went to sea, Li Chengqian stayed in Guangzhou for a few days before leaving for Qianzhou.

After returning to Qianzhou, Li Chengqian began to prepare for the medical school.

He had a hunch that if he didn't start again, he would regret it later.

At present, the medical school has been built, and all kinds of equipment are ready to be completed, but what makes Li Chengqian's ass hurt is... not enough doctors.

At present, there is only Hua Tuo in Qianzhou. As for the other doctors, it is okay to treat minor ailments, but if they want to teach, they may mislead their children.

No matter how awesome Hua Tuo is, he can't teach hundreds of students at the same time. What's more, Hua Tuo is the dean of the medical school, and he has to deal with many things. How can he do so many things at the same time?

When Li Chengqian was worried, an unexpected person suddenly arrived in Qianzhou and solved Li Chengqian's urgent need!
This person is really surprising, his surname is Sun, his name is Simiao...

When the guards brought Sun Simiao to the governor's mansion, both Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui who knew him were stunned.

Chang'an is so far away from Qianzhou, with his old body, isn't he afraid of dying halfway?

After being slightly shocked, Li Chengqian's eyes gradually shone brightly.

Sun Simiao... Although he is a Taoist priest, he also has astonishing attainments in medicine, otherwise he would not be called the "King of Medicine".

If this old man were allowed to come to the medical school to teach medical skills, the pressure on Hua Tuo would be much less!

However, I heard that this veteran is not interested in officialdom, and even refused the title that Li Shimin wanted to bestow on him. I don't know if he will agree to come to Qianzhou to teach.
