All the civil and military officials in the hall looked at Lian Zong who spoke, and this Lian Zong Su Rebel (third-rank official position in Silla) continued to talk.

"Just a few days ago, a caravan from Datang arrived at Jincheng, the capital of the king, on a merchant ship. If His Majesty does not give up, I am willing to go to Datang. I ask Datang to uphold justice."

Queen Seondeok stood up and asked with surprise on her face.

"There is a caravan from the Tang Dynasty in Jincheng, but the caravan from the Han and Tang merchants?"

"Exactly." Lian Zongsu nodded and replied. "Their ships are still at the pier outside Gyeongju City."

Queen Seondeok couldn't help being overjoyed, the north was blocked by Goguryeo, and the west was the annoying Baekje.

If he wanted to go to Datang for help, the only way was by sea, and he had long heard that the Hantang firm had an official background in Datang.

If it is possible to contact the Han and Tang merchants directly, then it would be even better to just take their sea boat to the Tang territory.

Soon, Queen Shande handed over the important task of dealing with the Han and Tang merchant caravans to Lianzong Sujuan.

After Lian Zongsu got out of the palace, he immediately rushed to the Han and Tang merchants' shops located in the most prosperous place in Jincheng.

At this moment, the house steward of the transportation team of the Hantang Commercial Bank has completed the handover of the goods with the chief steward of the Silla Branch of the Hantang Commercial Bank.

"All the goods have been loaded on the ship, so it's time for Fang to leave..."

"The hard-working house is in charge. Alas... I don't know when the war on the peninsula will end. This will too affect the operation of our Hantang Commercial Bank here."

After the chief steward nodded, he couldn't help but spit out a joke.

"It's hard to say, the three barbarian small countries are fighting and killing all day long, what's the point, our Tang Dynasty is still peaceful, but the time for you to be on duty here, Mr. Liu, is coming soon.

By the end of summer, someone should come to pick you up, and then, you can go back to Luoyang and enjoy yourself..."

The two of them were chatting and laughing while walking towards the shop, when they heard the noise coming from outside the shop.

Soon, a Silla official was seen stepping inside, and Manager Liu immediately recognized who it was.

He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face, and saluted this old customer with an unspeakable hidden illness.

"The villain has met Lian Zongsu, I don't know if Lian Zong is here today, is he here to pick up what you asked for last time..."

Lian Zong shook his head uncomfortably, and his eyes lit up when he saw the housekeeper who was behind.

"No, no, shopkeeper Liu, I came here today, and I came here specially to find him."

"Looking for me?" The room steward couldn't help pointing to his nose with his finger in confusion...

Outside the city of Dengzhou, the ruins of the craftsmen's workshops near the berth of the navy are really bustling at the moment.

It was originally the place where the craftsmen's workshops made various naval equipment during the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Only a small part is still in use, which is convenient for maintaining the ships and various equipment and armor of the Dengzhou Navy.

But now, because of Cheng Sanlang's arrival, it became very lively again, because the cannons were cast from here.

Nowadays, General Wu Zhonglang of the Dengzhou Navy can't wait to stay here twelve hours a day as a supervisor.

In order to fill the building ships being rebuilt by the Dengzhou Navy and the seven giant ships donated by the Hantang Commercial Bank for free with artillery.

That's right, just about half a month ago, a fleet came from the south, and the giant ships in this fleet were not even smaller than a large ship.

The important thing is that those giant ships were clearly designed to load artillery.

The giant ship has three floors below the deck. There are six gun ports on the bottom floor, eight gun ports on the second room, and ten gun ports on the third floor. And at the bow and stern, there is also a position for installing artillery.

It is precisely because of these huge ships that they are different from Datang's standard warships in operation and other aspects.

These seven giant ships will form a separate fleet, and will be handed over to Cheng Sanlang, the governor of Qingzhou, to command.

However, Saburo Cheng also made a promise to General Wu Zhonglang that within a year or so at most, these seven giant gunboats would return to the Dengzhou Navy and be handed over to General Wu Zhonglang to command.

Therefore, General Wu Zhonglang, who was so greedy that he was about to drool, had to agree to Cheng Sanlang's proposal in order to get these seven giant ships for free.

Signed his name in the memorial to the Governor's Mansion of Qingzhou recommending Cheng Sanlang as the Admiral of the Second Fleet of the Dengzhou Navy.

Of course, in that memorial, Cheng Sanlang was called the number one naval battle master in the world, and Wu Zhonglang, who was so hot that his eyes were so hot, could only pretend that he was blind.

In any case, after all the original buildings and ships of the Dengzhou Navy have been successfully remodeled, at least General Wu Zhonglang can command a fleet of hot weapons across the world before he gets those giant ships, which is very happy.

Nowadays, under the day and night rotation of those craftsmen, a large number of artillery pieces have been freshly baked, and then they will be sent to the dock.

Installed on those refitted building ships, or on those giant ships. I believe that it won't be long before the artillery on these boats will be full.

Cheng Chubi has been very busy these days, sitting on the wharf every day to supervise the work, ensuring that the cannons will not be snatched by the veterans of the Dengzhou Navy.

After all, since that naval exercise, the entire Dengzhou navy officers and men seemed to have pink eye disease, and even Cheng Chubi had heard about those naval officers.

In order to be able to become the captain of the three transformed cruisers, he even saw Zhenzhang directly in the water.

Well, after all, they are navy generals, how can they show their abilities by playing weapons and fists on land alone, so they all wear a loincloth and go into the water to fight.

Wu Zhonglang managed to take turns taking turns~lightnovelpub.net~ Only then did he stop this demon moth that was getting bigger and bigger.

And when the Navy's building ships and the Dengzhou Navy's Second Fleet arrive, they must be loaded with artillery.

Although the gang of jealous navy generals didn't dare to provoke Cheng Sanlang, they dared to stop the convoy, stop the artillery being transported to the dock, and move them to their battleships first.

This kind of harmless thick-skinned behavior made Cheng Chubi very painful. After all, he did not do much with such methods.

I had no choice but to stay on the pier to oversee the work, and finally made the installation of artillery on the battleship orderly.

It's time for leisure and entertainment. You must maintain such a good habit. It's on the beach full of fine sand not far from the pier.

Cheng Chubi is copying a wooden water ski that has been repeatedly coated with thick paint to make it waterproof, trying to fight against the waves in the sea...
