One Piece Chapter 778 Spoiler Thread

If the control of the Yangtze River channel is an important factor in determining the Jiangnan battlefield.The Pacific Ocean route will be the most important factor in this contest.

At this time, Jiangnan is not the Jiangnan of the future, and neither the population nor the economy, including infrastructure, can be compared with the future.The three hundred years of operation of the Southern Dynasty have just revealed the end of prosperity, and the result is that in the chaos of Sun En, Hou Jing and Sui, it has become nothing.Li Shimin occupied only a thatched hut built on the ruins.

The high-rise building is only in the north, Jiangnan can not support the supply and consumption of more than 2 million of Li Shimin's army, unable to feed more than 8,000 battle elephants, more than 30,000 rhinos, all of which require Li Shimin's blood transfusion from Fusang mainland to the Central Plains.

Li Shimin is naturally not a fool, and it is easy to think of where the vanished Da Tang Navy went.The Datang Navy, which had just annexed Li Shimin’s vast ocean-going transport fleet, must have gone to the long route of the Pacific Ocean, to an ambush at a certain point.

It is just a pity that Li Shimin has been unable to turn back, let alone modify this ending.

Because of the different emphasis of the two sides, the Datang Navy and the Fuso Ocean Fleet adopted two distinct strategies.Under the leadership of Li Jing, the Datang Navy focused on naval warfare, so the five-tooth battleship built was obviously different from the five-toothed battleship invented during the Sui Dynasty.

The five-toothed ship invented by the Sui Dynasty, and the "five teeth" actually refer to the five-story structure of the warship, which is more than 100 feet high.There are six sets of poles in and around, 50 feet high.Each wooden stew is a boulder, under the boulder, and when the enemy ship is approaching in battle, you can quickly put the boulder down with the boulder and smash the enemy ship.If you don't hit it, you can also quickly put it away.If the enemy ship is surrounded on all sides, it can also be "six-pronged", and its combat effectiveness is strong, which can be seen.

However, the five-tooth ship is still the traditional Chinese architectural style, and the building ship is generally no different.The rectangular structure, although tall, is not very resistant to wind and waves, and the control is very general.However, although the five-toothed battleship is also a five-story building, it has reduced the high-rise of the deck, increased the sharp structure, and added the keel to make the entire hull more smooth.Moreover, the whole ship cancelled the patting structure and switched to the use of eight bullshoe or stone cannon as the main long-range attack means.

However, in order to pursue the carrying capacity, Li Shimin sacrificed flexible handling and speed, even in the case of wind in the same direction, the speed of the ocean transport ship is slower than the five-toothed battleship of the Datang Navy, although not too much, about one or two percent less.However, in naval warfare, this is very deadly.

At this time, Li Shimin's ocean-going fleet will be very embarrassed when facing the Datang Navy.They can’t fight and they can’t escape.

In the Pacific Ocean, there is a very small island.However, this island is very important on the ocean route from the Central Plains to the Fuso mainland.

This island is the famous Midway Island.Originally, it was a coral island without fresh water, and there was no value for fresh water at all.However, in Li Shimin transport a lot of materials, it is impossible to use a limited carrying capacity to transport fresh water, and in addition, there is still a certain shelf life in fresh water.

Midway was transformed into a small island where fresh water could be stored by smart craftsmen, of course, this fresh water is still limited, still rich in rainwater in the Pacific Ocean, using ceramic tiles to build a cistern dedicated to rainwater harvesting, which can replenish some of the fresh water.

Three months ago, the Datang Navy arrived on Midway Island and ambush the Fuso Ocean Fleet on the ocean route.The number of oceangoing fleets is as many as 6,000, but they are divided into hundreds of squadrons.Each squadron consists of dozens or hundreds of oceanic transport vessels, with no dedicated naval combat personnel, but also no escort fleet.

In these three months of battle, the Datang Navy can be said to have done its best.

They disguised themselves as Fuso's oceangoing fleet, playing the flag language in need of rescue, quietly approaching, surprisingly attacking, and eliminating dozens of oceangoing fleets, their own losses are few.

The war thousands of miles away was too far away for Chang'an, as if it were happening in another time and space, and had nothing to do with himself.

In Chang'an's court, the people, the forest, and even all the channels can't find a star and a half of the news about the war, and Datang seems to have not built more than 400 five-tooth warships, and more than 1,000 warships.

As if nothing had happened.How the people should go or how, drink wine, dance, everything is business as usual.

Only a very few people are nervously watching the war, paying attention to what is happening there, of course, the circle is too small, the identity of the people in this circle is too special, it is difficult to have anything to do with the people, everyone is busy.

The people only know that every time, the court in Chang'an will recruit some soldiers and send them to the Jianghuai battlefield, and they do not know when they will return.Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the battlefield and never came back.

There were some grandstanding fellows who were bitterly critical of the court policy in social situations, and the tearful appeal to the court to stop this stupid act of making the young people of Datang bleed, they once set off a wave, but soon disappeared.

It is the most complete disappearance, and even the root hair can not find.

In the major events related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, there is no half-democracy can speak of, and the hominent world evaporates.

By the time he had not received a supply ship for three months, Li Shimin had realized that it was not good.

He now has no choice, only to take advantage of the stock of supplies, the Great Tang's Jianghuai defense line to launch a fierce attack.

In an instant, the wolf smoke all over the world, from the northern battlefield of clouds, generations, Yi and Shuo, and then to the lower Shule, Gallo Ling, Kunlun Mountain, Jiannan Road, and Jianghuai, almost everywhere are fighting.

This fascination, a year has passed.

This year, Li Xiuning successfully gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Chen Ying.Even in the middle of the month, Li Xiuning threw the child of the full moon to take care of Xu Yi, and she lived with Li Daozhen in the military camp.

When Li Daozhen was 16 years old, he finally made a decision.Return Li Xiye to Chen's family and change its name to Chen Jiye.And Li Xiuning on the book Li built, for Chen Jiye to seal, inheriting the title of Liang Guoguang.

Chen Qian also inherited his father's business, moved to Anxi Town, became the king of Anxi, with the help of Chen Ying's old ministry, for the northwestern frontier of Datang.

Although Li Shimin did his best to attack the Tanghuai River defense line regardless of casualties, Chen should command Tang Junjun soldiers and did not let it go.

The war directly catalyzed the scientific and technological development of Datang.Guns, mines, rockets and even steam airships appeared one after another, and the war mode of Datang slowly began to advance towards hot weapons from the cold weapons era.

In March, the book is worth a million.

Li Xiuning, who was in Chang'an, finally received Chen Ying's family book.

Looking at the familiar and friendly handwriting, Li Xiuning has burst into tears.

My wife’s wife said:

Since your red dowry has dowed me, I don't think it's been nearly 16 years, and I've been a lot of negative things in the past six years, and I've looked back and realized that the most sorry person in this life is you.

Chen has no ambition, preferring to live a lifetime.However, for the husband can't bear to see you fighting for the world, you can only run around on your behalf, but let you red makeup like an empty house... You and I have three children together, humble, inferior, cautious, and if Xi, if ice, if water, this is the best gift given to me by God, all the children have all the feet, and the family is entrusted to you...

...

The war was unusually cruel, the forces of the Fuso coalition seemed endless, their officers were cunning and tenacious, and their generals were all engaged in a hundred battles, and even the slightest flaw would be immediately caught by them, and then turned into a terrible disaster.Huaihe defense line has been all lost, we have retreated to the Longqing mountain, Jianghuai millions of people transferred to Hebei.

Fortunately, Hebei is large enough, and the land that can be cultivated is not worse than Jianghuai, thanks to our way, we can use steam engines to provide us with sufficient food and equipment.

Many folding houses have been hit out, and only my personal defenses have broken up three times and rebuilt three times, and I can't even remember how many waves my subordinates have changed.

Really too cruel, I dare not imagine, so many good soldiers, said the light will be cut off, how can I explain to their relatives?How do my parents, brothers, sisters, children, and wives explain to me when they ask for someone?I don’t have the courage to think about this.

Fortunately, the country born from the war, was not intimidated by the fierce war, our people are not willing to become a slave to failure, farmers hard work, craftsmen hard work, farmers and industry, each perform their duties, we rely on almost endless resources, with amazing speed for us to make weapons and equipment, with the production efficiency of the Tang army industry doubled, the equipment supplement for the first time to keep up with the consumption speed.

...

At the time of my letter to you, the Fuso coalition offensive against Xiangshan has been repelled by us, and Datang is temporarily safe.

Although the current situation is still extremely serious, I believe that our persistence and sacrifice will not be in vain, the people's yearning for peace cannot be destroyed, as long as we do not give up, victory will belong to us!

After a breath, Li Xiuning's eyes were a little wet.

Chen should not mention the specific situation of the war, but she can fully imagine how fierce the war is, how difficult his situation is, so that she is distressed.

At this moment, suddenly a sound of footsteps came.

Wearing a princess dress and flying fast on her short legs, Princess Yongle jumped on Li Xiuning.

Princess Yongle said, “Mother, what kind of person is Dad?”Why don’t you always come back and see us?Does he want us?”

Li Xiuning sighed for a while, crouched down to touch Princess Yongle's head, and said seriously: "No, you, Dad... is a great hero on the ground."

Princess Yongle's eyes were a little confused, "When will Dad come to see me?"It will be good forever!”

“Yes, it will be fast!”

Li Xiuning suddenly saw Li Daozhen's eyes red and red, leaning against the window, a face of despair.

And changed to Chen Jiye's Li Yiye, a man's arm, a face of iron standing next to Li Daozhen.

The smile on Li Xiuning's face slowly stopped, and he realized that it was not good.

Li Xiuning felt that there was something wrong, looking at the date at the end of the letter, July Chonghong, which is now July, that is to say, nine days have passed.

This is impossible, even if the efficiency of Datang is no longer poor, a letter from the front line can not be transmitted back from the mountain in nine days.

Li Xiuning's eyes faintly burst into tears: "What's the matter?"

Li Daozhen choked up, but did not speak.

Li Xiuning walked up to Chen Jiye and looked at Chen Jiye and said seriously: “Daro, you said...”

Chen Jiye murmured open his mouth.

Finally, he sighed, “Nothing!”

“Olivia, look at me!”Li Xiuning's voice became sharp, and Chen Xun and Li Ruoxi came to Li Xiuning.

Chen Jiye suddenly could no longer control: "Nine days ago, the father repulsed the Fuso coalition, and then launched a full-line counter-offensive..."

...

Chang'an Taiji Palace.

Li built a gloomy face and looked at Li Anjun and growled: “Have you found someone?”

Li Anjun shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Searched the Shogunate Mountain, found 1,049 vague corpses, and found this..."

Speaking of which, Lee couldn’t stop.He held a pair of hands.

This gem has been burned and broken by fire.

Li built to look at this jade chondria, feeling the sky spinning.

Wei Zheng quickly came forward to help Li build.

Li built only a sweet voice, a mouthful of blood spewing...
