The First Family of Tang Dynasty

In Cheng Sanlang's words, the shipping of Datang is very busy now.

Moreover, if Tamluo Island, Yellow Bird Island, and later Fusang Prefecture want to communicate with the mainland, Dengzhou Port will inevitably become very busy.

A tall and eye-catching lighthouse was erected at the port to facilitate the return of those night boats. Similarly, a tall and eye-catching lighthouse can also have a variety of uses.

For example, send a reconnaissance post on it to observe whether there is an enemy coming, and it can also ignite wolf smoke on the lighthouse to give a warning.

And as early as the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 627), there were Hu people who came to China to preach and built a Huaisheng Temple in Guangzhou with a tower height of 36 meters.

At that time, the pagoda was located on the edge of the Pearl River. After nightfall, there were lights hanging on the top of the pagoda to navigate ships. It was also called the "Light Pagoda".

In a sense, it can be said to be the first lighthouse erected in the Tang Dynasty. The Han and Tang Dynasties firms also built beacons in the ports they operated.

There are also Tamluo Island and Yellow Bird Island, so Cheng Chubi's desire to set up here can be said to follow the trend.

After all, Dengzhou Port was equivalent to the military port of Datang before, and the common people must not be allowed to mess around here.

But now that Cheng Sanlang is the deputy chief of the Qingzhou Grand Governor's Office, Biejia and Pyongyang Road, the actual person in charge of Dengzhou Port and the head of the navy, Wu Zhonglang, naturally does not dare to make a fool of himself.

In the face of Cheng Sablang's well-founded expression, is it still difficult for Li Ji and Li Ke to make things difficult for him?

Therefore, the tall lighthouse with a height of more than 30 meters stands on the hill near the port.

The lighthouse is made of cement masonry, with a wooden structure inside, with a total height of nearly 50 feet.

At the bottom is the place where the tower guards rest and live. You can continue to go up along the wooden ladder, and you will be on the top floor of the lighthouse.

In fact, the space is not large, that is, in a small house with a radius of no more than ten feet, a few oil lamps are lit to increase the brightness.

Furthermore, the windows on all sides are made of glass, which can prevent the wind and at the same time ensure that the lights will not be blown out by the wind and rain.

At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright, and a yawning soldier Lao Liu swayed along the ladder to this floor, after taking a look at the oil lamps.

He picked up the oil pot and added some oil to the oil lamps, looked outside, and saw snowflakes flying outside the window.

After wrapping the cloak on his body, he swayed away from here, headed downstairs, and after going down to the first floor, this is the observation base for the tower guards.

A large iron stove, in this small space, exudes a warm warmth, so that they will not be frozen in such a cold winter.

Lao Liu glanced at his companion who was sleeping like a dead pig next to him. After snorting, he also wrapped his cloak and slept beside the iron stove.

At this moment, a broken sailor was hurriedly and arduously marching on the sea, like a lost dog with nowhere to go.

The wind and snow on the sea blew their hearts and hearts cold, and on the boat at the head, Niu Da, the former shopkeeper of the Xinluo Branch of the Han and Tang Commercial Banks.

Standing on the deck at this moment, his eyebrows and beards were all covered with snow, and his face was flushed with cold, but he still stood there stubbornly, looking at the nearby sea with a telescopic mirror.

Beside him, Jin Pidan, who was constantly breathing in his snot, looked around anxiously.

"Boss Niu, when can we get to Dengzhou..."

"Our sailors can't support it for long."

Another Jin Yuxin, who was also snotty, couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"If we knew we should go to Natamra Island first, we can rely on the port there to defend against the Baekje Navy."

"Relying on Tanluo Island?" Shopkeeper Niu couldn't help turning his head, and gave the Silla barbarian a vicious look.

"You want to make my Tang army and civilians die more?"

Jin Pitan quickly relented, glared at Jin Yuxin, who was still full of dissatisfaction, the vulgar warrior, and smiled ingratiatingly at the shopkeeper Niu.

"No, no, shopkeeper Niu, he didn't mean it, he just thought that Dengzhou was too far away and Tanluo Island was so close."

"On Tamra Island, there are only 2,000 garrisoned troops, and the Baekje and Koguryeo water divisions behind us must have hundreds of warships, 20,000 to 30,000 horses."

"Even if you add in the remnants of the defeated generals like you, it's no wonder that the combined forces of Baekje and Goguryeo can be stopped."

Hearing the complaints from the shopkeeper Niu Da, the two Xinluo generals all had black lines on their faces, but they couldn't attack.

Yes, there is no way, who made the current Silla Kingdom almost destroyed...

Thinking back to the beginning, when Queen Sundeok died, when she was living in Qishan City, when Queen Jindeok took the throne, Jin Pitan, the great superior, immediately swept away his political enemies and held power in his hands.

But then, Jin Yuxin led the army back, so he didn't die, and just landed at the port of Qishan City.

Jin Yuxin happened to meet the high-ranking Jin Piluo who was being hunted down. After inquiring, he learned that Jin Pitan wanted to be a powerful minister after he established the new king.

This time, Jin Yuxin, who was already at odds with that Jin Pitan, was naturally unhappy, and directly sent troops to kill Jin Wenying, who came to chase him.

However, both sides were worried that the Baekje army was approaching, so after a brief conflict, the two sides did not use swords and soldiers rashly, but started a war of words.

But no one would have thought that after the Baekje King learned what happened in the Qishan Fortress, only one general was left to guard him, and he sent his division to sweep the other Shilla Fortresses that had not yet surrendered.

As a result, without external pressure, Jin Pitan and Na Jin Yuxin both wanted to kill each other, so a fierce battle broke out.

"Sword Comes"

However, unfortunately, the strength of the two sides is not much different, and there are scruples in the shot, resulting in a stalemate.

Just when they were gradually letting down their guard, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com had received the order of the Baekje King Fuyu Yici, and the Goguryeo navy finally joined forces outside the port of Naju Qishan Fortress. .

And Baekje King Fuyu Yici once again personally led an army south to persecute them. This time, Jin Pidan, Na Jin Yuxin and others finally panicked.

They had to put aside their prejudices and temporarily unite together, but they also knew very well that if they continued to stay in this Qishan City and be trapped.

The nearly 100,000 troops of Baekje were almost at their doorstep, and outside the port was also surrounded by the navy of Baekje and Goguryeo. The chances of surviving are almost zero.

In the end, after repeated discussions, the two sides finally came up with a solution, that is, the strong man breaks his wrist.

Let the main force of the Silla navy hold the king's flag high and go southeast to lead away the navy of Goguryeo and Baekje.

Afterwards, the elites of Silla, wrapped in Her Highness Queen Zhende, quietly left the port and headed for the Tang Dynasty...
