Li Wen still liked Zhang Chong's attitude very much. After all, according to his situation, it would be more comfortable to reorganize the whole family to Japan. In Japan, almost most of the military power is in the hands of Zhang Chong. If he wants to be a local emperor in Japan, no one can do anything about it. Without Zhang Chong's warship, it would be quite difficult for anyone to cross the ocean to the Tang Dynasty to file a lawsuit.

After a day, the dinner arrived as scheduled. What Zhang Chong didn't expect was that, under normal circumstances, the dinner after he came back was Li Qing, with the queen and concubine, and his wife, but this time, several of Li Qing's confidants also brought their wife with him, and the scene was quite grand.

After taking the seat, Li Qing did not mention any blonde hair and blue eyes, nor did he ask Zhang Chong how far his navy had developed. Instead, he asked everyone to come and have a few skewers of mutton and drink a few bowls of wine.

After half an hour passed, Zhang Chong, who had just returned to Chang'an City, had a little bit of a resemblance, completely let go and began to talk to everyone about the customs and customs of Japan. More than half an hour passed.

Finally, Li Qing saw that the situation was almost done, and everyone had reached a state of talking about everything, and before he could drink too much, he winked at Zhang Mingyue and Feng Yi. They stood up and invited all their wives to enjoy the flowers and feed the fish in the Tai Chi Palace.

In fact, these ladies also knew that this must be something important to the emperor that the emperor should not let them hear, and of course they were all tactful.

"Zhang Chong, where are these people and how to catch them? Let's talk to you carefully!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Chong seemed to tell a story, integrating the news he received from almost every soldier on the scene into a situation he thought was the most realistic, and vividly described it.

"Have you ever intercepted their warships?"

"That's natural. The warship is still docked in the Japanese naval camp. For this reason, Muto Ichiro rushed back to Japan and took many of our top craftsmen from the Dongmu naval army to study the small warship, according to his statement..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chong's face changed slightly. He looked at the people who looked at him with anticipation, and then looked at Li Qing. It seemed that there was something indescribable.

"What do you mean, but you can say it."

"According to Muto Ichiro, this warship may be stronger than the warship of the same size as our Tang Dynasty. He also said that if the war begins now, our Tang Dynasty warships may not be as good as the warships of these blond and blue-eyed men..."

Zhang Chong did not have time to report this matter to Li Qing. When he wrote a letter to Li Qing, Muto Ichiro had not yet arrived in Japan from the camp of the Dongmu Navy. After Muto Ichiro arrived, he studied in Japan for a full month, and this time he followed Zhang Chong back to the camp of the Dongmu Navy.

"Then he said nothing, if our Tang Dynasty warships develop at the current rate, how long will it take to catch up with these warships?"

"According to Muto Ichiro, our Tang Dynasty only stagnated in the manufacturing of warships in the past few decades, which caused the current situation. In the past few years, we have created many warships of all sizes, enough to form a large and large fleet. Just give him about two years to transform the existing warships and catch up with these people's warships!"

After hearing this, Li Nai nodded slightly. This was quite consistent with what he had imagined before. The Tang Dynasty was not very concerned about the navy, so it would definitely be pulled down by Westerners during that period. This is completely reasonable. If you have just developed vigorously for a few years and your warship can surpass others, that would be unrealistic.

But Li Qing has this enlightenment does not mean that all the people around him have this enlightenment.

"What? Their warships are stronger than those of our Tang Dynasty. This is really nonsense. Muto Ichiro is clearly a Japanese. He is determined to be ambitious and destroy his own prestige. Your Majesty should hit him with great difficulty!"

Chen Zhibao has always been unable to understand that Li Yi insisted on reusing Muto Ichiro. Now these words are all spoken from the mouth of a professional Muto Ichiro, so he naturally feels a little dissatisfied again.

"If I beat him well, can you build warships for me, Datang? If you, Chen Zhibao, can you bring the imperial guards to build warships for the Tang Dynasty, I really don't want to use the Japanese!"

As soon as Li Yan said this, although Chen Zhibao was not convinced in his heart, he moved his mouth and said nothing. After all, Muto Ichiro was determined to be their leader by many top craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, and his ability would definitely not be bad.

"Your Majesty, according to Muto Ichiro, our warships may still have room for upgrade. Some of the core ideas before were actually proposed by His Majesty. Their craftsmen can just improve the details of the manufacturing. He asked His Majesty what opinions do you have on the improvement of this warship..."

This was something Li Neng didn't expect. According to the current situation, he did put forward some ideas, but he didn't know anything about the technical level. He didn't expect Muto Ichiro to attach so much importance to his ideas.

However, after he said this, Li Neng thought of the information about a ship he found in a Ming Dynasty tomb before, which was the lucky ship. He had never thought that such an advanced warship could be built in this era, but now it seems that it is not a bad idea to try it.

The lucky ship is as tall as a building, which can accommodate hundreds of people. The bottom is pointed and the upper is wide. The bow is raised and the tail is towering. It has about 3.5 meters of water. The bow is equipped with hundreds of hot weapons from the Ming Dynasty and thousands of cold weapons. There are more than 60 passengers, more than 10 sailors and more than 60 soldiers. According to a "Wu Bei Zhi" written by Li Nian in the previous dynasty, this giant ship has three floors on the upper floor.

There are all guard plates beside them, protected by thatched bamboo, and erected like a wall, with two sails and masts. There are four layers in the middle. The lower layer is equipped with ballast stones, the third minister places a tasshui cabinet, and the second floor is the place where soldiers live. The upper layer is a terrace, and you need to climb up from the ladder on the third floor, and use wings as railings on both sides. People lean on them to fight, and the arrows, stones and cannons are all launched. This is a powerful weapon for naval battles.
