Skills Are Worth More Than Reading the Four Books and Five Classics
Yuezhou's navy was truly defeated.
The scorching fire bombs met the wooden ship, and the lightning triggered the fire. The raging fire quickly swept over the area. On this vast lake, there were broken pieces of wood from the burning ship everywhere.
In the end, the Yuezhou Governor had no choice but to charge towards an island on River Heart Island, leaving his ship, a huge five-toothed ship, stranded.
The other Yuezhou navy warships also rushed over.
The ships were all forced to run aground. Yuezhou's navy was left with 30,000 soldiers. They were forced to abandon their ships and enter the island.
Zhang Xun naturally couldn't fight tens of thousands of people on land.
However, he still commanded his fleet to target at fixed spots, and almost soon, hundreds of warships that were stranded were all turned into ashes.
Empress Zhangsun's hand gripped the railing of the ship's side. The railing was about to be deformed by her grip.
Thirteen battleships against the Yuezhou Navy, which had more than five hundred battleships, the main force of the Tang Navy.
However, the result was shocking.
Yuezhou's navy was completely annihilated!
Such an outcome completely overturned Zhangsun Wugou's understanding of war.
She turned to look at Zhang Xun with a complicated expression.
Such a genius navy general was unwilling to serve the Tang Empire?
Why was this so?
Now that the world was unified, even heroes had no place to use their skills.
Zhangsun Wugou really couldn't understand where this youth's confidence came from.
Even if you are invincible in water, so what?
Since ancient times, who had ever relied on the navy to conquer the world?
However, Zhangsun Wugou was an intimate partner of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin. Although she did not take the initiative to interfere in politics, Li Shimin often showed her some memorials and even asked her to give suggestions.
Therefore, Empress Qiangu was very familiar with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
With Yuezhou's navy wiped out, no one in the entire river could stop Zhang Xun!
This also meant that before the Tang Dynasty rebuilt the Yuezhou Navy, the Great Tang was helpless against Zhang Xun, this pirate!
The only good news now was that Zhang Xun, the head of the Internet Water Army, seemed to be a hero. His subordinates did not have much of a bandit aura.
Even in the Tang army, it was considered an elite army.
He wondered how Li Shiming would react if he knew about his current situation.
Zhangsun Pingting and Li Lizhi gaped at what was happening.
It was like a dream.
The massive Yuezhou Squadron was reduced to ashes in a short period of time.
It was said that in the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhou Yu had the help of the east wind to defeat Cao Cao's army.
And this Zhang Xun…What could he rely on?
Now that he thought about it.
Previously, Zhang Xun had claimed that he was the "best in the world in water battles". This sentence was really not bragging.
Zhangsun Pingting's beautiful eyes were filled with splendor.
Her ideal wish was to marry a god general who could seal the wolf.
Unfortunately, among the second generation of the Great Tang, no one could catch her eye.
And now, she had met Zhang Xun.
Unfortunately…Zhang Xun was actually a pirate…
However, on second thought, Zhangsun Pingting thought that if she could marry Zhang Xun, wouldn't Zhang Xun be able to enter the circle of meritorious families in the Tang Empire?
With Zhang Xun's talent, His Majesty must be thirsty for talent.
Zhangsun Pinting looked boldly at Zhang Xun, her heart was no longer just rippling.
Li Lizhi knew what her best friend was thinking when she saw her sister's expression.
The women of the Tang Dynasty had not been bound by Confucianism. They dared to love and hate. During this period of history, women had also left a deep mark in history.
One of the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty was the Eldest Princess of the Great Tang, Li Xiu Ning.
Later on, there was even a monstrous figure like Wu Zetian.
The Great Tang's playfulness was evident.
Zhang Xun, who was being watched by the three women, stood at the side of the ship and gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Let's get him first!"
Zhang Xun commanded his subordinates to salvage the fallen Yuezhou navy soldiers.
Because training a sailor was a very troublesome matter.
In this era, sailing relied entirely on experience.
Therefore, experienced sailors were also a fortune to Zhang Xun.
Soon, about 1,000 sailors were fished up from the lake. They were all tied up with ropes and temporarily placed in the cabins.
"Big brother, Lu Guangyi's boats have all been burned down. This old man won't be able to leave Dongting Lake anytime soon.”
Zhang Shiba said excitedly.
Thirteen against five hundred, and he could still win. To Zhang Shiba, this was a miracle.
The key person who created this miracle was undoubtedly the son of his benefactor, Zhang Xun!
His gaze toward Zhang Xun was gradually filled with admiration, just like those of Zhang Xun's adopted sons.
Zhang Xun nodded in satisfaction.
"This is great. Before the imperial court rebuilds the navy, we can come and go as we please along the Yangtze River. Now, let's hurry to the Wentang Gorge water village.”
Zhang Xun said.
"Why are we going there? Yuezhou's navy had all been mobilized, leaving only the old and weak.”
"Eighteen, let me tell you…In this era, those who engage in technology are more valuable to me than those who study the Four Books and Five Classics!”
"Technology?" Zhang Shiba was slightly stunned.
"Yes, craftsmen. I want all the craftsmen in the shipyard of the Wentang Gorge.”Zhang Xun said.
"Uh... Brother, how can a craftsman be more valuable than a scholar? Stop joking.”
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Zhang Xun patted Zhang Shi Ba's head and turned around,""De Yi, form up and advance to Wentang Gorge at full speed!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang De stood at attention and immediately sent out a signal.
Thirteen battleships lined up in neat columns and quickly rushed into the Yangtze River.
At this moment.
A voice sounded in Zhang Xun's mind.
"Ding! Survival assistance system activated!"
