Chapter 622 Sailors Set Off

The eunuchs around the emperor say that they have no official position, but such people cannot be treated with ordinary people if they can stay by the emperor.

After my father-in-law came in, he explained his purpose directly. He showed the imperial edict to tell Li De in front of him that you don’t care about me, but the emperor’s imperial edict must be given again.

Li De was a decent person. Although the Youzhou power had long been separated from the jurisdiction of the court, as the saying goes, "Good skills do not hit people with smiles, they will not let you down."

"Dare you ask this father-in-law's name Gao?" Li De said politely.

"Not Name." The old man replied.

Li De thought this person was very interesting. He had been observing this person since he came in. His steps were frivolous and leisurely, but he was very alert. Through observation, he could confirm that the person coming was a master.

"My nameless father-in-law, bring your majesty's will." Li Dedao.

My father-in-law didn't care about Li De's disrespect for the imperial edict. He is now in charge of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji and is now short of reputation. He didn't say he wanted to control himself, but in fact he had nothing to do with the court.

The attitude towards the emperor and the attitude of the imperial edict were long expected.

Li De looked at the imperial edict, and Pei Qingxuan on the side had already seen that she was extraordinary, so she was not careless, so she just guarded Li De.

The old man had long noticed Pei Qingxuan's little movements and didn't care about it, but just turned his eyes to the woman wearing a hat on the other side.

Xiao Mei sat quietly aside for a while. She just liked An Jing suddenly came to visit and didn't have time to retreat to the backyard, so she had to put her cover in her pocket.

Pei Qingxuan and Xiao Mei’s sisters learned the same kung fu as melee kung fu, while Xiao Mei was studying the hidden weapon kung fu. At this time, Wuming had already discovered it when she noticed her.

The other party had no malice, and Xiao Mei couldn't speak and let the other party take away his annoying gaze.

Xiao Mei is such a beautiful person who wants to be noticed, but she doesn't want to do so. She knows that the ultimate beauty will bring disaster.

Just like she had already told Li De openly about her, but she still covered her face and looked at others every day.

It’s not that she likes this, but that she really doesn’t want to bring disaster to Li De because of her beauty. Wuming’s sharp eyes seemed to see through something, which made her feel uneasy.

"Dear Unknown, the number of vanguard soldiers is not large in number and is not on large warships. If they send troops, they may not be able to do much." Li De said lightly.

The content of the imperial edict was actually similar to writing a letter. He already knew that Emperor Yang of Sui wanted him to take people to the sea to help surround the pirates. The court would pay the fees required, and the time for sacrifice could be postponed for two months later.

Li De was not sloppy when it comes to sacrifices. Emperor Yang of Sui now means that as long as the vanguard soldiers help, the sacrifices do not need to go in advance.

In this way, he could spend more time to arrange it, which was a compromise between Emperor Yang of Sui on sacrificial matters, but in fact there was nothing special about it.

After a turn of the topic, Li De continued: "But for the people of the Sui State, even if the vanguard soldiers do not have enough warships, they will send small boats to them. Everyone is responsible for resisting pirates."

"The Grand Governor is very wise, and since that's the case, we will say goodbye." My father-in-law came and left faster. If Li De was not particular about the details, then this Wuming would be even more free and easy.

Think about it, it is also a person who serves the emperor, and his status is where it is.

"This person is very dangerous!" Xiao Mei suddenly said after Wuming left.

"It's very dangerous. He was looking at you in front of me just now. He was really bold and arrogant." Li De said angrily.

Xiao Mei was silent for a moment. She didn't want to say this. After Li De's interruption, she forgot everything she was about to say.

"Husband, are we really sending troops?" Pei Qingxuan asked immediately when she remembered the imperial edict.

Li De nodded. The real reason for dispatching sailors was that after such a long period of screening, it was time for the sailors to go through a battle. Besides, what they were responsible for was intercepting enemy ships.

The competition is still the ships. Li De did not lie. The vanguard soldiers did not have large warships. The ships produced were all medium-sized sailboats and the ones with impact angles.

Specially used to restrain large local warships, the medium-sized sailboat uses a brand new keel structure with collision angles, which is very suitable for collision attacks based on speed.

In conjunction with the new turmeric oil developed by Li De, it is very lethal to wooden warships. A lot of things have been prepared now, but they are not used.

This battle opportunity is very important to the vanguard.

As for delaying the return of sacrifice to Chang'an, he had already considered it.

In this way, the vanguard troops will have enough time to arrange the two groups of soldiers on the open and secret. If Emperor Yang of Sui really does something that is unfavorable to him, he will also have a trump card.

When Wuming returned to Jiangling, the vanguard's ship had already set off, and just happened to have a message with Lai Huer when Wuming arrived in Jiangling.

"Your Majesty, the matter has been completed. Now the ships of the Pioneer Army who calculated the time should arrive in Penglai." The old man said softly beside Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Why is it so fast?" Emperor Yang of Sui said curiously.

Emperor Yang of Sui was also familiar with military affairs and knew a little about ships. Such a slow warship could actually arrive from Youzhou to Penglai so quickly. It was incredible in terms of time, and I couldn't help but doubt it.

"Report to your Majesty, the vanguard soldiers do not have large warships. They all dispatched medium-sized ships, with 500 ships and the number of sailors reached 10,000." My husband said justice.

"Five hundred search medium-sized ships, when did they have so many ships? Could it be that they use fishing boats?" Emperor Yang of Sui said even more curiously.

Wuming had learned about it before he came back, not a fishing boat but a new shape. There were large sails on the boat, and the sails were not the kind of oil cloth they had seen, which made him indescribable.

"It's not a fishing boat, but the warships are actually smaller, and each boat can accommodate no more than thirty people." My husband said justice.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very curious about how such a small ship fought. Suddenly, he thought that if the vanguard soldiers suffered losses in the battle, it seemed that it would not be a bad thing for him.

Why are the ships of Youzhou sailors all small sailboats? Because they are fast and have a short shipbuilding cycle, they are easier to maintain. Besides, when dealing with bulky large ships, they have the advantage of speed. When using crossbows on the ship, they have a high chance of breaking and leaking water as long as they hit enemy ships.

Do you still need to lose to the death? Obviously, just wait for the other party to sink the ship or ask for help.

This is true. When the Goryeo pirates saw many small boats appear, their first idea was to use large warships to knock over the small boats, and they did the same.
