Ten vehicles and ships were quietly parked in the harbor. The soldiers on the ship stood solemnly on both sides of the ship with their hands on their backs. The warships were shaking with the ups and downs, but these soldiers stood there steadily, motionless.

This is a water army that has been practicing for more than two years. Now, they are finally coming in handy.

When Li Ze first entered Chang'an, when Li Xin picked him up across the Yellow River, he dispatched some of the remaining warships in the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Ze feel very moved.

The Tang Dynasty was the overlord of the sea in its heyday. But in this era, those warships that were hard to maintain but could not resist the erosion of time were like an old man. Although he tried his best to show his former bravery, he still showed his weakness at a glance.

Li Ze was originally a man who wanted to be One Piece and naturally had a special love for warships. In Chang'an, he had been collecting talents with the technology of warship manufacturing and warship manufacturing. He did not believe that a huge empire that once had the most powerful navy in the world had withered in just over a hundred years.

Hard work pays off. During the more than a year when Qianniuwei Mansion was stationed in Chang'an, they finally found what Li Ze wanted. In the deepest part of a warehouse in the Tang Dynasty's War Department, among some dusty wooden boxes piled up, they found a complete set of information on building such as patrol ships, vehicles, and even sea falcon warships.

The price they paid was just to give the veterans guarding the warehouse a five-two tael of silver.

All these silk book books that seemed useless to the veterans were transported to Wuyi in a nutshell. There were indeed not many people who knew how to build ships, but not without them. As long as you had a little bit of relevant knowledge, they would be taken away by Wuyi's ideas. Li Ze even sent people to Guangzhou, Lingnan, Quanzhou and shipyards in Jiangnan to poach others' corners. Once the people who were attracted by Wuyi would have only one result, that is, to go to Haixing'an's home. Those old stubborn people who were not moved by high salaries would be hijacked by force.

Haixing Shipyard was developed in a small shipyard that could only repair ships.

When a large number of capital and technical talents surged here, under the constant attention of the Supreme Leader, Haixing Shipyard had already begun to rise at an amazing speed.

From the beginning of building some small boats, Haixing Shipyard has truly replicated the sea giants and sea falcons of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Compared with the rapid development of shipbuilding technology, what really made Li Ze scratch his head was the talents who could command water battles. Many Jiedushi in Jiangnan had naval troops and sailors, but Li Ze looked down on those warships. They were all made of civilian ships, which were completely different from real warships. Furthermore, these generals who knew how to fight were basically the confidants of the Jiedushi, so how could they be dug up?

What Li Ze wanted was a fleet that could truly cross the sea.

Naval battles and inland water wars are completely different concepts.

In the end, this problem was solved by Jin Mantang.

Business was spread all over the world, even if there was a fleet at sea, Jin Mantang chose a giant sea bandit for Li Ze. The pirate named Pan Motang, who broke his arm and put an iron hook on his hand, eventually failed to withstand the temptation of Wu Yi and defected to Li Ze.

Pan Motang, the once glorious iron hook, is already old and can no longer fully control the pirate leaders under his command. However, his own sons have withered. His sons either died of illness in bed or on the sea. Now, the Pan family, the grandsons of their generation cannot support the overall situation at all. Pan Motang knows very well that once he dies, he is afraid that his property and this fleet will be swallowed up by his wolves and tigers.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the relatives and relatives of the former chief to survive.

And Li Ze gave him another choice.

Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. As long as he passes by, he will no longer be a pirate, but a serious court officer and a dignified naval general.

Tiehook gathered all his subordinates. Those who were willing to follow him would follow him, and those who still wanted to be pirates would also let them go. But from then on, the two convenient and kindness were broken. If they meet at sea in the future, they would look at their own means.

In the end, the four leaders under the Iron Hook Pan Motang took their subordinates away one after another. They were still young and were more willing to live a free life at the sea of ​​Aoxiao, not to be supervised or restrained. In the end, Pan Motang only brought five warships and more than a thousand subordinates to Haixing.

This made Tiegou Pan Motang very embarrassed, and it also made him very worried about his prospects after he defected to Li Ze. But when things got to this point, he couldn't help but walk forward.

But the feeling of being betrayed is really not very good.

Fortunately, Li Ze fulfilled his promise.

Now Iron Hook Pan Motang is crazy when I talk about it.

Several grandsons all went to Wuwei Academy to study, and all the women and children in the family settled in Wuyi. Although every inch of land in Wuyi is valuable, for Pan Motang, the iron hook who has been a pirate for life, money is just a small matter.

In three years, he witnessed how the Tang Dynasty naval master developed step by step from scratch. The power of a court was far beyond what a former pirate like him could imagine.

The first ship was launched.

The first shooting ship was launched.

The first new warship, which combined the vehicle and ship shooting technology, was successfully launched.

Until last year, the first sea falcon went to sea for trial voyage.

Iron hook Pan Motang once stood on the Haiwu Huo and cried loudly, and then laughed happily.

Only by standing on a warship like the Sea Falcon level can you truly feel the pleasure of roaring the sea.

The warships he once used to rob at sea were vulnerable in front of the sea-level warships like a toy for children.

He even imagined how happy he would be when he led this luxurious fleet to meet his past subordinates at sea and saw their fear and regretful appearance.

Of course, it would be even more wonderful to be able to use these warships to bury these betrayers one by one in the sea.

Although the grandchildren have not been in Wuwei Academy for a long time, Tiehook can feel their significant changes. Whether they speak or do things, they first develop towards a normal person. Now, they have a few aristocratic temperaments. This makes Tiehook the most happy.

This is what he has in his life, but if his grandson has been transformed into a noble family, what else can he want in his life? It's nothing more than trying to make a better future for his children and grandchildren with this old body.

He even had planned to take him on the ship when his eldest grandson turned 16 years old and let him inherit his career. As the eldest grandson of the Pan family, he must become the pillar of the Pan family after his death.

He worked diligently and worked day and night.

He allowed Li Ze's navy to grow from nothing to something, from weak to strong, day by day. From the beginning, the navy General of the navy was promoted to General of the Lou Ship.

Li Hao went to his place to learn navy knowledge two years ago.

The iron hook Pan Motang is a pirate, but it does not mean that he has no vision or scheming. Li Hao's arrival gave him another opportunity. During his days in Haixing, he still roughly understood the state system. Li Hao is Li Ze's confidant and direct descendant. Such a person who learns the knowledge of a navy with him is an excellent opportunity to take a big ship. He believes that his sincerity will eventually be passed through Li Hao's mouth to Li Ze. This is more useful than showing his loyalty in front of Li Ze ten thousand times.

Li Hao actually wants to seize this opportunity.

As an army general, he was actually behind among the secret camp's direct line. Li Mi, Li De, Li Rui, Li Han and others are now all very good at fighting and far surpassing themselves. On land, he thought that even if he worked hard, it would be difficult for him to catch up with them. This made it difficult for him, who was the best in the secret camp before, who could compete for the status of Li Mi for the position of the boss.

If you want to reshape your position, you will naturally have to have a different path. Li Ze knew the importance of the navy. In recent years, he stationed in Dizhou and often traveled to Cangzhou, Haixing and other places. He also saw with his own eyes that the navy was growing day by day, and the navy might be a better way out for him.

The two hit it off and Li Hao simply worshipped Pan Motang as his master.

And Pan Motang also gave him all his gifts without any hiding.

Pan Motang needs Li Hao as the bridge to become Li Ze's direct lineage, while Li Hao needs Pan Motang's knowledge and even the subordinates who Pan Motang once were on the sea.

Pan Motang wanted to kill these betrayers, but Li Hao didn't think so. Perhaps one day, those people would become his minions on the sea!

In the past two years, Li Hao has devoted more energy to this navy.

One day in the future, I will go to the sea.

Li Hao, who stepped onto the battleship, stroked the cold side of the ship, and thought silently in his heart.

Naturally, inland warships cannot be compared with sea warships. Just being tall is too bad. Haixing's fleet is as small as three floors, more than twenty feet long, and can carry hundreds of people, not to mention the warships of the Sea Falcon level. Although the inland warships in front of us combine the most advanced technologies such as shooting ships and vehicles, they are far from being compared with sea warships in terms of momentum.

As for the warships transformed from the civilian ships of the Pingzhen Navy, Li Hao didn't take them seriously at all, but was just a snack on his own table.

He walked to the highest point of the flagship and waved his hand. The trumpeter beside him immediately blew the military horn in his hand. The flag bearer on the other side immediately waved the command flag in his hand.

All the soldiers on the warship became busy in an instant.

"Set!" Li Hao said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
