Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

"Okay, I love you all, and I will return triumphantly, do it!"

After all, he raised his head first and poured the wine bowl into his mouth with an extremely heroic gesture.

"We will triumph!!"

"We will triumph!!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin had already finished the wine, patrolled around without changing his face, and threw the porcelain bowl to the ground forcefully.

A kind of civil servants and generals immediately understood Li Shimin's meaning, they all picked up the wine bowls in front of them, raised their heads and drank it down, then wiped their mouths boldly, and fell to the ground hard.

"Okay! Get on the battleship and fight with me to conquer the coalition forces!!"

"Yes!!"

After a brief farewell, Li Shimin took the lead to leave, and the civilian and military officers behind him trotted all the way to his battleship position.

At this moment, the red glow of the east sprinkled on the hurried backs of the crowd, and the rays of the sun were invincible and radiant in an instant.

--------

At the same time, a loud ringing of bells woke up all the soldiers on the battleship.

"Assembly order."

The instructor shouted loudly on the deck.

"Quick, quick, quick!! Go back to the cabin, the battleship is about to lift anchor, the battleship is about to lift anchor!!"

"Yes!!"

Facing the coach's order, there are countless loud and clear responses and the sound of uniform footsteps.

In the captain's room, Li Shimin shouted into the microphone: "Anchor!!"

The loud voice was transmitted outside through the pipe, and the standard bearer ran out.

This time the flag bearer raised the red flag in his hand and waved the semaphore downward.

"Clatter..." The huge iron anchor was pulled up from the water and collided with a loud noise.

"Set sail!!" Li Shimin's majestic voice was transmitted along the pipeline to the lower steam room.

The steam engine was already turning, but it didn't drive the propeller at this time. Following an order, the craftsman pushed the switch, the gears meshed, and the propeller slowly turned.

Under the action of the huge thrust, a surge of water appeared at the stern of the ship, and the warship slowly moved away from the harbor.

"Woo~~" White steam came out of the pipe, making a long whistling sound.

The people in Laizhou who got up early heard the sound, put down their work one after another, and excitedly rushed to the shore to shout.

"Datang will win!!"

"Datang will win!"

"···"

Li Shimin smiled and nodded to everyone on the deck, and soon the fleet sailed out of the harbor amidst cheers.

Soon, the battleship sailed out of the sea and entered the East China Sea (Bohai Sea) with the sound of "must win".

Li Shimin, who returned to the captain's room, looked at the compass next to the rudder, then at the monocular, and slowly adjusted the angle.

"Northeast direction, line up in a herringbone line, advance at full speed!!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the semaphore was waving the semaphore to convey orders to other warships.

Seeing the semaphore, ten warships adjusted their positions one after another.

Leading by the warship Li Shimin, the rest of the warships followed closely behind, marching towards Pyongyang City in a herringbone formation.

------

Three days later.

The East China Sea, fifty kilometers from the coast of Pyongyang.

The sky is high and the sea is wide, and the sea and the sky are connected at the end of the field of vision. If you look at this unique scenery too much, it will be boring, boring and lonely.

During this boring journey, there are only a few seabirds who dare to stop on the battleship, dolphins who follow curiously, and whales that have never been seen.

It was fresh at the beginning, but after a long time, everything returned to quietness and loneliness.

Only the battleship sailed slowly and alone on the calm sea.

Li Shimin looked at the direction with the compass, and looked into the distance with the binoculars from time to time, frowning slightly.

"It was originally expected to arrive in about three days, but it took a little longer for the warship full of cargo, and I don't know when I will be able to see the coast!"

Liu Rengui hurried forward and explained: "Your Majesty, although we can't see the coast, we are very close to the coast."

“How come you see?”

"Since this morning, the seabirds in the sky have stopped on the battleship from time to time. The seabirds need to build their nests. From this, it can be inferred that I am not far from the coast."

"I see!" Li Shimin nodded.

Liu Rengui picked up the binoculars and said in surprise.

"Look, Your Majesty, you can see the coast!!"

"Is it?"

Everyone showed joy when they heard the words, and picked up the binoculars to look in the direction.

At the end of the field of vision, a gray line appeared on the dividing line between the sea and the sky, and this gray line gradually became clear as it traveled.

"It really is the coast."

"After three days of waiting, we are finally going to the coast of Pyongyang City!!"

"Pass down the order and let everyone prepare for battle!" Li Shimin said with a smile on his face, his brows stretched out.

Following an order, the sound of bells rang throughout the cabin, and the flag bearer waved the semaphore to convey the order to other warships.

At this time, inside the battleship.

Xue Rengui was hissing and shouting: "Cheer up and prepare for the battle!!"

"Yes!"

Just now, they were idly discussing when the soldiers would be able to land on the shore, but at this moment, it seemed as if they had been pricked by a needle, and they became very energetic and acted quickly.

"Quick, quick, quick, put all the ammunition away."

"Put sandbags under the cannon, adjust the angle, deploy the brackets, and wait for orders."

"Be careful of the flint, be careful of the flint, don't blow up the boat!!"

"···"

The entire cabin began to prepare for battle in an orderly manner, some were carrying explosives, and some were carrying and adjusting the angle of the muzzle...

"3 The muzzle is ready!"

"10 good muzzle ready..."

Soon, the muzzles on each side of the ship were ready.

Xue Rengui patrolled the side of the ship, inspecting the cannons one by one: "Cheer up and wait for His Majesty's order. Everyone is not allowed to fire without an order."

"Yes!!"

"Report to Your Majesty, the soldiers have finished preparing for battle, and we are just waiting for His Majesty's order."

"Well, don't worry." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said, "We are still a long way from the coast!!"

After speaking, Li Shimin turned his head and said to Liu Rengui: "Aiqing is one of the few admirals in the Tang Dynasty, and he has a lot of experience in naval battles. I ask Aiqing to be more dedicated to this naval battle."

Li Shimin was stationed on the frontier, and he fought most land battles, and he was not as proficient in naval battles as Liu Rengui.

Coupled with the new type of warship, it is better to hand it over to Liu Rengui.

"I will do my best to break Goguryeo for Your Majesty," Liu Rengui hurriedly saluted after hearing the words.

"Okay." Li Shimin nodded, then turned to look at the coastline: "I don't know how far this place is from the coastline."

"As far as the eye can see, it should be about 25 kilometers."

25 kilometers, almost the limit of sea vision.

At this time, Li Shimin and others can clearly see the coastline without a single-lens telescope, although the line of sight is only as small as a hair.

at the same time.

Goguryeo is deployed on guard towers along the Pyongyang coastline.

The two sentinels were frowning and staring at the sea with wide eyes.

Suddenly, ten black dots appeared in the eyes of a sentinel, and there were white waves behind the black dots.

This made him feel strange and puzzled: "Did you see something appearing in the sea?"

The other companion frowned and replied uncertainly: "What, it seems to be a big fish?"

After all, it is not uncommon for whales to appear in the sea, so there is nothing strange about it.

"Big fish, big fish will have white waves??"

A companion stood up and looked at it nonchalantly and said, "Hey, who cares, it's probably some kind of fairy mountain, it will be gone after a while."

"Is that so??" The other companion was relieved, and looked at this strange scene in boredom.

But within a quarter of an hour, the two discovered that the black spot was approaching the coast at an extremely fast speed.

And as the distance shortened, the two gradually discovered that these black spots turned out to be warships.

They were all black, with no sails, and no oars. They had never seen such a strange warship.

But the two soon saw the Tang flag fluttering in the wind on the top of the battleship.

This is Tang Jun! ?

Seeing this, the two didn't have time to think about it, they rang the alarm bell and shouted desperately downward at the same time.

"Enemy attack!! The Tang army is coming!!"

"Tang Jun is here."

"Look at the sea, Tang Jun's flag has appeared!!"

Hearing the news of Tang Jun's arrival, many people were in a mess, but they quickly calmed down. Some curious people even checked Tang Jun on the coast.

Sure enough, a battleship with a Tang flag and a strange shape appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Look at the banner, it's really Tang Jun!!"

"Fearless? Tang Jun's fearless warship?"

"Not only does this ship look strange, but it's also incredibly fast!!"

But soon, the news spread, and someone immediately said: "Quickly report to the commander-in-chief."

"Yes Yes···"

The man trotted all the way to the camp of Quan Dystocia, and shouted as he ran, "Tang Jun is here."

"Tang Jun's warship appeared on the sea, Tang Jun is coming!!"

"Tang Jun?" The two guards suddenly looked solemn, and hurriedly invited him into the tent: "Commander, Tang Jun has appeared on the coast."

In the camp, Quan Nanchan and the envoys from many countries were talking happily.

Upon hearing the news, the singing and dancing stopped immediately, as did the music, and the whole tent became silent.

Izumi Nanchan let go of Miki on the left and right, waved his hand to signal Miki and the musician to go out, and asked.

"How many warships did the Tang army come to? How far are they from us?"

The guard couldn't tell for a while, after all, he had never seen such a fast and strange warship.

I can only be anxious: "This... this, you will know when you come out and take a look, Commander!!"

"Okay." Quan Nanchan opened the tent and looked towards the sea, surprised and angry: "The enemy warship is so close to us, why did you come to report it until now!?"

"Forgive me, Marshal, it's not that I didn't wait to report, but that the speed of the battleship is really too fast..."
