Chapter 1913 The old man is gone

In this world, there are always some people thinking about a lot of things, and there are some people who like to treat themselves as saviors. If they have something to do, they want to correct this and that, and they always think that they are right and others are wrong.

There are also many such people in reality. In the company and friends, we always have the opportunity to meet one or two people who like to point fingers at others.

Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang, and Shui Yue used some special means and ancient secret techniques to see a glimpse of the secrets. They were already ready to deal with it, but when they found that things had changed, they did not develop according to the path they knew before.

So these old guys panicked. The unseen future made them full of fear of the unknown and couldn't wait to change and bring all this back on track.

To be honest, it is difficult to tell whether this kind of thing is right or wrong. It is not wrong to want things to return to the right track. After all, everything needs a certain development pattern, just like a ship sailing on the sea and a plane flying in the sky requires a route and cannot run around at will.

So in some ways, Yuan Shoucheng and the others did not do anything wrong.

But to put it another way, was Li Chengqian wrong? No one of those who had changed their destiny for him had no reason. Du Ruhui lived for more than ten years. How much did he do for the Tang Dynasty in these ten years? Empress Changsun lived for more than ten years, and how many flesh and blood had he avoided?

So who is wrong with the whole thing? From an objective perspective, it seems that no one is wrong, and everyone has a reason to continue.

...

Tai Chi Palace, Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian sat in the study that once belonged to the old man but now belonged to him. In front of him, Li You and others had almost arrived.

Although the Daming Palace just built is very good, the old man is still there after all. Li Chengqian really can't erase everything from the old man and sit in that position himself, so he can only squat in the Tai Chi Palace like the old man who had been huddled in the East Palace for three years.

About half an hour later, the people gathered by Li Chengqian finally arrived, and the imperial study room was filled with heads.

"Yang Tian, ​​let's talk about the situation, what's going on in the South China Sea!" Li Chengqian glanced coldly at everyone and forced himself to turn his thoughts to the old man's side. As for Changle's affairs, he could only put them aside first.

"Your Majesty, according to the truth, the Supreme Emperor's current position should be here!" Yang Tian took a slender stick and clicked at a certain location on the South China Sea chart that had just been hung on the wall: "But now we have not received any news at this location at all, and there is no trace of the fleet found at the outpost near this location."

"When was the last time I received the news from the Supreme Emperor?" Because I had received some news from Su Meng before, Li Chengqian was prepared, so after listening to Yang Tian's story, his performance was calm.

"It was forty days ago. At that time, the position of the Supreme Emperor was here, and the direction of the fleet was heading towards Yazhou." Yang Tian pointed another position on the chart.

Because Li Er went out for a trip this time, there was no clear standard in terms of routes or time. It is very likely that he felt that the environment was good when he went to a place, so he played there for ten or half a month. Therefore, the intelligence department often did not receive any news from Lao Li's fleet for more than ten or twenty days.

But this time it was too long, and there was no news for forty days.

Moreover, according to the supplies carried by Lao Li on the ship, if he had not arrived at the position designated by Yang Tian for the first time, his fleet would probably eventually drift on the sea and wait for death because there was no supply.

After all, all those steel warships are driven by coal. Without coal, the ships will not be able to drive.

It was because Li Chengqian knew this that he did not accuse him of why Yang Tian did not explain the news of the old man's disappearance in advance. He just frowned and asked after calmly thinking about it: "Is there any major storm in the nearby waters during this period?"

"No!" Yang Tian answered with great affirmation.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Baoqi's South China Sea Fleet is gone? Do you think this matter has something to do with the disappearance of the Supreme Emperor Fleet?"

Yang Tian obviously considered the question raised by Li Chengqian. He paused and explained: "Maybe it will be related, but there is no way to confirm. The last message from the South China Sea Fleet was to fight against the cannibals, and then there was no news. The entire fleet disappeared completely on the other side of Malacca."

They both disappeared completely, and the time was similar, but the locations of the two fleets were quite far away. Even if they tried their best to sail, it would probably take about ten days to meet.

The possibility of natural disasters can be eliminated at such a distance. After all, even if there is a storm, it is impossible to cross such a large distance at the same time.

Another point is that even if there is a storm, there is no news afterwards. In Li Chengqian's opinion, there is only one reason for this situation, that is, war!

The old man is not a reckless man like Cheng Yaojin. He knows that there is not enough supplies and still has to continue to roam on the sea. So if there is anything to hold the old man, in Li Chengqian's view, only war can arouse the old man's interest.

...

In fact, Li Chengqian was not wrong. Li Shimin was really fighting at this time, and not only his own fleet was fighting, but also Yuchi Baoqi's South China Sea fleet was fighting.

Their opponents were in a mess, including big cannibals, real las, and some natives on the island.

These people surrounded the two fleets tightly and sent people to attack the fleet every day, either on the sea or on the bottom of the sea. In short, such attacks never stopped within a month.

However, Lao Li's warship was placed there, and the side of the ship, which was more than meter high, was almost no different from the city walls for the enemy's small boats.

And if it weren't for the big cannibals throwing fishing nets everywhere in the sea, which made the propellers of the armored warships unable to perform their full functions, Li Er's fleet would have completely crushed them and would not even give them a chance to fight back.

Of course, there are not so many ifs in this world. The invincible and invulnerable ironclad ships were ultimately limited by the fishing nets. Li Erhe rushed to support him and was surrounded by the designs of the great cannibals. He challenged them every day, dragging them and consuming their supplies.
