Chapter 187: Departure (4,000 words) In addition to the main city supported by Li Zhen, two of the remaining cities were supported by the imperial court, and the rest were built by Luo Zhe to make money himself, and in order to make money, he can be said to do everything, although he has not done anything to deceive him, but he has not done anything less about smuggling, although he has not transported contraband, but because of his relationship, some valuable goods have been bypassed by him, helping the owner save a lot of silver, and he has also received countless commissions, which is simply a profit.
The naval fleet under his command was directly used by him as a transport fleet, and the most serious one was that the naval fleet did not return to the base for half a year, and was always adrift at sea, but fortunately, the sea transportation did not need marines, otherwise he would definitely send the marines out, but even so, Borneo was attacked by several pirates because of the navy in Emi, and a lot of people were taken captive.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Zhe's actions fell into Li Zhen's eyes, and Li Zhen immediately called him to Yuezhou and reprimanded him severely, and then squeezed out of his teeth to buy a batch of coastal defense guns for Luo Zhe......
It's not that Li Zhen supports him in smuggling, it's just that he can't squeeze out too much money, if he had money, he would have built Borneo a long time ago, judging from the current situation, it can only be a tacit acquiescence to Luo Zhe's behavior, but at the same time, let him take care of his own back garden, otherwise he is doing business in the front, but there are frequent fires in the backyard in the rear, then the matter is serious......
Li Zhen can help him cover it up once, but it is impossible to help him cover it all up, once his deeds reach the ears of the imperial court, once the imperial court knows that the governor of Borneo is personally involved in smuggling and plundering huge profits, even if there are extenuating circumstances, he will be greeted at least by more than ten years in prison.
"When are we leaving?"
After Luo Zhe's incident, the matter of finding the rebel fleet was naturally ignored by everyone, anyway, Li Zhen's intelligence system is slowly being investigated, and it can be found one day, so this matter is not in a hurry, and the most important thing now is to return to Chang'an.
This trip to Chang'an is destined not to be peaceful, although there are many fleets to escort, but everyone does not think that Li Zhen and his party will be safe, after all, the battleship can not go ashore, not to mention that after the failure of the first wave of attacks, those enemies hidden in the dark will definitely continue to attack Li Zhen by all means - Li Zhen has already told them all the conspiracy of the family a few days ago (the identity of the king of heaven has not been revealed), they were shocked that Li Zhen's enemies were so frenzied, in order to prevent Li Zhen from ascending the throne, actually wanted to kill the Tang Emperor, you must know that although Li Zhen has no good impression of the family, Li Shimin has not treated them badly, although there is some suppression, but Li Shimin's attitude towards the family should be considered mild.
They were even more shocked by Li Zhen's powerful intelligence system, and they could even find out such a thing, but they also understood that although they and others had discovered the enemy's conspiracy in advance, this did not mean that Li Zhen was absolutely safe, after all, the destiny of heaven is impermanent, and even the way of heaven is broken, let alone people?
No matter how perfect the plan is, the slightest change may be completely ruined.
"The day after tomorrow, the navigator said the day after tomorrow is a good day."
Li Zhen thought for a while and said.
"In that case, let's start preparing today."
Fang Yiai said.
In fact, the supplies have already been prepared, and the ship can be sailed at any time, but this is the first time that so many warships have sailed in Datang, and we must be careful and careful, no matter how much preparation is not enough, Fang Yiai would rather stay in the port for a while more than have even the slightest problem at sea, and there is no doubt that Li Zhen also thinks so, so he chose to leave the day after tomorrow instead of tomorrow. …… Time flew by, and the third day was fast in coming.
Li Zhen came to the port early in the morning, and he was accompanied by almost part of the governors of the Nanyang and the governors of the fleet, including the governors of several naval districts, and the other part was too far away, so they all set sail alone, such as Du He, the governor of Gaoda Prefecture, who would go directly to Hangzhou, and then meet Li Zhen there.
And whether it is these around me now, or those who have not come, they are all absolute supporters of Li Zhen, and they belong to the henchmen of the henchmen, and some of them are even Li Zhen's protégés - for example, Zhuge Zhiming and Sima Qinghou, now that seven or eight years have passed, they have already graduated from Wentian Shuyuan, and have been in the officialdom for several years, and slowly climbed to the position of the governor of the spice islands and the governor of K Island, although these two places are not prosperous places, But it is more than enough to train the young and young of the two officialdoms, and these two places are not bad with their efforts, especially the spice islands are a few points better than Borneo built by Zhuge Zhiming, and Sima Qinghou's K Island is not bad, although it is not prosperous, but the reason is the same as Borneo, there is no support from the imperial court, and it is enough to prove their ability to build this place by themselves.
This time, Li Zhen returned to Beijing to succeed to the throne, how could they not go as confidants?
Moreover, their terms of office almost all ended during this period of time, so they naturally returned to Beijing at the same time to report on their work.
What's more, after Li Zhen succeeded to the throne, they all wanted to be rewarded, how could they not go at this time?
There are even anxious officials who have begun to discuss in private what title they will get.
"I don't think I'll be able to get a county uncle, right?"
Pei Xingjian said in a low voice to Fang Yiai.
"It should be about the same, don't worry, Your Highness knows it."
Fang Yiai nodded and said, with Pei Xingjian's merits, it must be no problem to seal a county uncle, but he is reluctant to say more about this matter, after all, he is by Li Zhen's side, although it is a whisper, it is also likely to reach Li Zhen's ears, and it is impossible to say what kind of attitude Li Zhen will have.
"You're easy."
Pei Xingjian looked at Fang Yiai angrily, and there was envy and jealousy in his eyes, this is the benefit of Conglong Gong, Fang Yiai can be said to be the person who has followed Li Zhen for the longest time, and in the years of following Li Zhen, Fang Yiai has also accumulated military merits to the level of the county marquis, plus Li Zhen's reward this time, he can at least mix a county duke, as long as he makes a little contribution in the next unification war, with Fang Yiai's qualifications, it can be said that there is no pressure to be promoted to the national duke, At that time, his Fang family will be a prince of the two countries, and he will really become a top wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that he will also have similar qualifications, and it is likely that he will also enter the Du family where Du He, the prince of the country, is located to be comparable to him, and even the families of Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqing and Qin Huaiyu may not be comparable to them. "......"
Fang Yiai smiled silently, came to Li Zhen's side, and said with a slightly solemn face: "Your Highness, it seems that everyone's mood is very relaxed, everyone thought that this time would be very smooth, and what they said was a bit too much, with their mentality, once there is a problem......
Do you want your subordinates to warn them?
Let them take their hearts?
” "No, let's make everyone happy, besides, you're right, aren't you?"
Li Zhen had actually heard the conversation between Pei Xingjian and Fang Yiai, including everyone's discussions, which fell into his ears, but he didn't take it to heart, he came from later generations, advocating freedom of speech, and didn't care about the slightly disrespectful words of his subordinates.
As for the warning, it is like it does not exist, anyway, even if someone makes a move against Li Zhen, there is an escort fleet and a young army to block it, and it is not their turn to make a move, in this case, what is the difference between their enemy ship's relaxed mood and heavy mood?
Since it is too to be elated, and it is also too to be worried, so why did Li Zhen be this wicked person, and lose her quiet and good mood?
"Okay."
Fang Yiai was actually worried that Li Zhen would be annoyed by the words of the people below, and now that Li Zhen has no opinion, then he naturally has nothing to say. …… In this cheerful atmosphere, the group soon came to the dock, and the scene in front of them can be said to be very shocking - thousands of large and small warships are arranged into a neat military formation according to their respective enemy ships, densely combined, as if this is not a ship formation, but a complete sea complex, even if these warships are just motionless, let alone salvo fire, but the solemn momentum is still soaring into the sky, even the floating clouds in the sky are shocked by this momentum, and slowly disperse, A clear blue sky was revealed.
"It's been a really good day."
The sky was blue, and Li Zhen's already good mood became better.
"It was indeed a good day for sailing."
Cheng Chuliang also leaned over and nodded, his mood was also very good, this time Li Zhen returned to Chang'an, and only his Yuezhou fleet was a complete and fully formed fleet, so his status was faintly higher in front of all the naval fleets - although he usually treated him like this, but everyone was often unconvinced by him, but this time it was different, with the prince beside him to deter, he finally shocked these bastards, and no one choked on himself anymore, and Cheng Chuliang was in a good mood for a while, The bones all over the body are crispy.
"Let's go, let's get on board."
Li Zhen glanced at him, he knew Cheng Chuliang's little Jiujiu too well, but he didn't point it out, it was very important to maintain the competition among his subordinates, Li Zhen didn't say anything.
Li Zhen was still riding the Holy Emperor, and he did not cause any damage to the Holy Emperor in the last war, that is, he caused a little damage to the hull in the subsequent rapid attack, but after the overhaul of the shipyard here in Coconut Harbor, there was no major problem.
It was the detachment brought by Fang Yiai who suffered heavy losses after turning on the rapid mode, and after going back, Lin Fa almost fought with Fang Yiai, but fortunately, after overhauling, it was found that although the life of these ships was reduced, it was not unacceptable, and Li Zhen mediated from it, Lin Fa gave up, even so he knocked on Fang Yiai's hundred jars of hardcover Wuliangye good wine, which made Fang Yiai's love very painful.
"Set sail!"

As the fleet slowly set sail, the huge ship formation began to move, under the command of the lookout, although the ship array was very densely arranged, but there was no collision incident, all the ships moved in an orderly manner and spread out, not at all chaotic.
Soon, the fleet sailed out of the port, and the scale of nearly a thousand warships gathered together was grand, and it was even more shocking to set sail at the same time, but Li Zhen was not deterred at all, after all, he was also a person of later generations, these warships were indeed shocking in the eyes of the ancients, but in his opinion, it was just like that, it was a small scene compared to the big military parades and regimental exercises of later generations, and it was not worth mentioning at all. …… After more than ten days of sailing, the fleet was not far from the Dengzhou Naval Base, and the road was as expected by the navy, the road was calm, although there were some thieves following, but after seeing the scale of Li Zhen's escort fleet, they immediately became a turtle with a shrunken head, and they no longer dared to offend in the slightest.
Although the road was peaceful, the people of the fleet, including Li Zhen and all his henchmen, did not dare to be careless at all, they knew very well that the closer they were to Chang'an, the more dangerous Li Zhen's situation became - after all, the enemy would never allow Li Zhen to return to Chang'an easily.
Because once Li Zhen returns to Chang'an, it not only means that their plan fails, Li Zhen will succeed in ascending to the throne, but more importantly, all their plans will come to naught, not only will the Heavenly King not be able to ascend the throne, but they will no longer have room to turn over under Li Zhen's revenge.
All the families will become the targets of Li's suppression, Buddhism will also become rats in the dark, and Confucianism will lose its orthodox status......
All enemies will lose everything they have at the moment, and this is something they absolutely cannot allow.
And in order to maintain their current status, they will definitely not allow Li Zhen to succeed to the throne, so assassinations and plots will come one after another, and when they were at sea in the past, there were nearly a thousand warships to escort them, even if they controlled a certain naval base in Datang, they would definitely not be able to compete.
But on land, the navy will not be able to sail on land, which means that their opportunity has come.
It's just that what they don't know is that Li Zhen has already made preparations for this, and the 100,000 boy army is ready to go, and in addition to the boy army, Li Zhen has other secret weapons to prepare, always waiting for the enemy's attack.
And in Li Zhen's plan, this time to return to Chang'an is not only a good time for him to ascend the throne, but also a good time for him to clear those secret enemies this time, once the enemy shows his real fangs, then under Li Zhen's plan, not only the enemy's plan will come to naught, but he will also collect enough evidence to make all the enemies disappear......
