Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 556

"Dad, don't worry, if the child encounters a problem, he will definitely ask Xue Rengui!"

Cheng Chuliang answered Cheng Yaojin without hesitation.

Xue Rengui served as the captain of Zhechong in Lantian County at a young age, and he attracted people's attention!

Cheng Chuliang also often heard Xue Rengui from Cheng Chumo's letters!

In the past, Cheng Chuliang envied Xue Rengui to follow Yuchihuan at such a young age!
Now that Cheng Chuliang has the opportunity to lead his family on a long voyage, he is eager to try.

This is called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

Cheng Yaojin patted Cheng Chuliang's shoulder and said, "Liang'er, the Cheng family fleet is already waiting for you at Xianyang Ferry, you can set off now!"

"My son obeys!"

Cheng Chuliang was so happy that he immediately strode out of the Cheng family's living room.

At the gate of Lu Guogong's mansion, Cheng Chuliang left Cheng's house in a carriage.

Dozens of Cheng family generals also followed Cheng Chuliang on horseback to Xianyang Ferry.

Marquis Wu, who was in charge of public security in Chang'an City, saw Cheng Chuliang traveling with dozens of generals, and they fled without daring to stop them.

Cheng Yaojin didn't go out this time to see Cheng Chuliang off!

For Cheng Chuliang, going to sea this time is also an experience for him.

The Cheng family fleet has prepared a hundred large merchant ships this time!
The loading capacity of these merchant ships is not much worse than the five-tooth ship of the Zhongzhou Navy!
The Cui family of Qinghe also put in a lot of effort to raise the merchant ships of the Cheng family this time.

Otherwise, relying on Cheng Yaojin's energy alone, there is no way to search for these large merchant ships!

Cheng Yaojin is very grateful to his wife Cui for this!
The Cui family is the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, so she has a great influence in the five surnames and Qiwang!
In order to repay Cui Shi, Cheng Yaojin stayed at home to accompany her today!
……

Xianyang Ferry!

At noon, Cheng Chuliang and his party finally arrived at the Xianyang naval station!
When Xue Rengui learned that Cheng Chuliang had arrived at Xianyang Ferry, he immediately came to greet Cheng Chuliang.

"Xue has met the young master!"

Xue Rengui bowed to Cheng Chuliang neither humble nor overbearing!

When Cheng Chuliang saw Xue Rengui coming, he immediately hugged Xue Rengui's shoulder and said, "Xue Rengui, when can we leave?"

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "Young Lord, we can start now!"

Cheng Chuliang laughed heartily and said, "Xue Rengui, since that's the case, let's go out now!"

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Young Master, please come and have dinner with Xue!"

After all, Xue Rengui took Cheng Chuliang to the flagship of the Xianyang Navy!

Cheng Chuliang rubbed his belly and said, "Xue Rengui, I'm hungry again after hearing what you said haha!"

In fact, Cheng Chuliang was already full at Cheng's house.

But after a long journey, Cheng Chuliang was hungry again.

Easy to get hungry is the characteristic of fierce generals.

So Xue Rengui is not surprised!
Soon, Xue Rengui boarded the flagship and ordered someone to bring out meals to entertain Cheng Chuliang.

The flagship of the Xianyang Navy has a globe!

Next to the globe is a telescope and compass!

These are the necessary equipment that Li Er gave to the Xianyang Navy to use for navigation!
After eating and drinking, Cheng Chuliang kept looking through the binoculars. He was amazed that the binoculars could clearly see things ten miles away.

Woohoo!

In the afternoon, the Xianyang navy blew the horn and sailed away from Xianyang Ferry.

Fifty five-toothed boats are like water dragons entrenched on the surface of the Weihe River, which is very spectacular and magnificent!

At the same time, one hundred merchant ships of the Cheng family also followed the Wuya boat and set off in an orderly manner.

The fleet of the Xianyang Navy stretches for fifteen miles, giving people the illusion of being endless.

The spies placed by the Secret Service at Xianyang Ferry then returned to Taiji Palace to report the news!

When Li Er learned that Xue Rengui and Cheng Chuliang had led the Xianyang Navy to set sail for Oceania, he said with great joy, "I hope Xue Rengui can return with a full load this time haha!"

……

Tai Chi Palace, Zhongshu Province!
In the afternoon of the same day, Yu Chihuan received a memorial from the Ministry of War to Li Er as soon as he returned to Zhongshu Province to be on duty.

The memorial was written by Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, to Li Er. The content inside is closely related to the Xianyang Navy led by Xue Rengui.

The Xianyang navy has replenished a lot of supplies at the Xianyang Ferry today!

These supplies are mainly food and weapons!

The Xianyang Navy is not good at field combat, so the Ministry of War gave [-] Divine Arm Crossbows to the Xianyang Navy this time!

The God Arm Crossbow is a long-range attack weapon, specially used to deal with Turkic cavalry.

"The Ministry of War gave the Xianyang Navy so many crossbows this time, wouldn't Li Jing think that there are cavalry in Oceania?"

After reading the memorial presented by Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Yu Chihuan couldn't laugh or cry.

However, the Xianyang navy is armed to the teeth, which is beneficial and harmless to the Cheng family's fleet, so Yuchihuan will not object!

Soon, Yu Chihuan revised the memorial and submitted it to Li Er for review again!

……

Soon, the memorial of Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, arrived in the Imperial Study Room of Ganlu Palace!
After reading the content of Li Jing's memorial, Li Er said with a sad face, "This time Li Jing only gave the Xianyang navy five thousand crossbows, isn't that too little?"

Although Oceania is an island, its area is as large as the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Er believes that the nomadic tribes in Oceania have at least millions of people!
Even tens of millions of people!

Even if one percent of the population goes to war, that's one hundred thousand troops!

In addition, the Xianyang navy is a sailor and is not good at landing operations!

So Li Er's worries were not groundless!
"Forget it, Zhen Feige sent a letter to Liu Rengui, instructing him to lead the Zhongzhou navy to secretly protect the Cheng family's fleet!"

Li Er didn't dare to neglect, he immediately repaired a book, and then handed it to Wang Gonggong to send it out.

……

The news that Li Er ordered the Zhongzhou navy to secretly protect the Cheng family's fleet quickly reached Yuchihuan again.

Yuchi Huan was speechless and said: "Your Majesty, are you underestimating the combat power of our Datang Navy?"

Oceania is still a barren land, where the aborigines live in mud-wood houses!
The roof is built using coconut leaves and banana leaves, and the wooden house is exposed to the sun and rain!

Such indigenous tribal soldiers, the soldiers of the Xianyang Navy can count as a hundred!

However, Li Er's imperial edict has been issued, and Yuchi Huan can only make mistakes.

The information asymmetry made Li Er overestimate the combat power of the indigenous tribes in Oceania!

……

In the evening, Yuchihuan could finally go home after his shift!

So Yu Chihuan put away the Four Treasures of the Study and left the Zhongshu Province.

Arriving outside the Suzaku Gate of Taiji Palace, Yuchihuan found Changsun Wuji standing next to Yuchi's carriage.

"Little Prime Minister Yuchi, you are finally here!"

When Changsun Wuji saw Yuchi Huan coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

Yuchi Huan asked: "Changsun Wuji, do you have anything to do with me?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Little Prime Minister Yuchi, the fleet of Changsun's family will set sail in three days to search for guano. Do you know which islands have gold and silver mines?"

"Changsun Wuji, if there are gold and silver mines, I will definitely send Cheng's fleet to mine them, and I won't tell you!"

Yu Chihuan was speechless, he was shocked by Changsun Wuji's thick skin.
