In his letter to Hong Yuan, Li Neng provided a variety of ideas for improving the weapons on the warships. His requirements for Hong Yuan were to try these ideas he proposed one by one to see if there was something that could be realized.

Hong Yuan is a flexible scholar. He naturally understood that Li Wen probably didn't have time to test these things one by one, so he could only let himself test them on the warship. Once it works, it would be fine.

Once successful, the credit can be considered his own. Through this incident, Li Yuan could see that Li Yan valued him.

He had just received a letter from Du Huangshang, in which Du Huangshang explained in detail what he had experienced in the Beiting Protectorate.

Although he is still a Sima, he is no longer a Sima of Hebei Road, but a Sima of Guannei Road. He told Hong Yuan about the affairs of Anxi Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate, as well as his life-long experience in Beiting Protectorate, why did he apply to Li Qing directly to Guannei Road when he was about to leave.

This is obviously not a show-off, because from the perspective of Du Huangshang has been tormenting this time, and his official position has not been essentially improved, and the transfer of the position is not as peaceful as Hebei Road.

Hong Yuan knew that Du Huangshang's thoughts were just to tell him. Although they were competitors, the competition that happened to them was basically healthy competition, and there was no saying that they would step on each other.

Although Du Huangshang did not play a major role in eliminating the rebellion of Li Baochen and Pugu Huaien, he was also deeply involved. Such things will basically not happen again within the Tang Dynasty in the future.

So Hong Yuan understood that this was definitely a very important step in Du Huangshang's resume. Although he is just Sima of a not-so-good state, he will become the prefect in not much time. In Sima's position, Hong Yuan guessed that it was just Li Qing to make Du Huangshang familiar with the management methods of a state.

Du Huangshang was almost certainly higher than Hong Yuan’s official position in the early stages of his career, which is also the point that Hong Yuan came up through this incident.

However, he was not envious of Du Huangshang's experience at all. He and Du Huangshang did not follow the same path. Since he chose the county magistrate of Huang County, Li Yan had almost only asked him to devote half of his energy to Huang County, and most of the remaining experience was on the navy.

Hong Yuan also knew that although there were only one thousand people and two broken ships here, just because of Li's importance to this place, the name of Dongmu's capture will sooner or later.

Although Zhang Chong is now a famous general of the Central Army, he has no seal that can command and mobilize this army except for letters from the Ministry of War and Li Neng. Zhang Chong's respect for himself is basically based on asking them for military pay. Once the army becomes popular, it seems that it has nothing to do with him. He is still the county magistrate of Huang County.

But Hong Yuan is not stupid. Every order from Li and the Ministry of War came to him. He knew everything about this navy. If the navy was upgraded in the future and he really needed a commander, he would not be able to think of a second person.

He believed that this was the way Li Yan planned for him, so in addition to handling the government affairs of Huang County and busy with the Dongmu Shui Army, he practiced swimming and martial arts almost every day.

He knew that these things would be used sooner or later. These paths were indeed chosen by himself, but the big hand behind them was Li Lan. When he chose Huang County, he did not think of the navy. He also knew that Du Huangshang had never thought of the incident of the Jiedu when he chose Hebei Road, but this was the good control of Li Lan over them. If he wanted to gain the reputation he had originally planned in the Tang Dynasty, he had to follow the path arranged for them step by step.

Hong Yuan could vaguely see that although Li Qing paid close attention to him and Du Huangshang, he even took Du Huangshang in person for a while, and seemed to pay more attention to Du Huangshang, Hong Yuan still believed that Li Qing was more optimistic about him.

But his risk is also greater. Once Du Huangshang, Sima, was almost the prefect. Normally, he would return to Beijing in a few years and serve in an important position among the six ministries. It is quite likely that he would eventually become the prime minister.

But Hong Yuan vaguely felt that if he could really win Li Qing's reuse, his stage would probably not be in the Tang Dynasty at all, but had a wider territory.

He once asked Zhang Chong how far the Tang Dynasty warships could go, and the answer he got was that in this situation, they could not go anywhere, but if the court was willing to spend money, the place they could go was beyond the imagination of any of them.

Because of Zhang Chong's words, Hong Yuan made up his mind to build the Tang Dynasty's naval army well. He knew in his heart that if he could see the vast territory outside the Tang Dynasty in his lifetime, it would be worth his life.

Hong Yuan’s grand ambitions start from the restoration of the two warships docked on the shore. Although there are not many money or craftsmen at present, it is not a matter of one or two months to launch these two warships, let alone the series of upgraded weapons proposed by Li Yi.

At the same time, news about these two warships also touched the heart of the Japanese Emperor outside the ocean. At this time, he had just received information from his secret spy ambushed in the Tang Dynasty.

The information said that the Tang Dynasty had begun to repair the two warships for the first time. Moreover, Dongmu Capture, who had almost been unable to hold on, suddenly became rich. Although the number of people did not increase, it was obvious that systematic training had begun.

As soon as the emperor of Japan received this news, he immediately couldn't sit on the bench and immediately found all his confidants, making everyone guess that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly began to build warships and let the navy train again, for what was the purpose of ordering.
