Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 146 The fierceness of the real girl
As soon as Su Liangsi spoke out, the ministers below became even more curious. They all stretched their heads to see clearly what was written on the memorial.

After reading the memorial, Su Liangsi let out a long breath, and then said: "Wang Xiaojie took the Feiqiu to defeat the Japanese pirates, successfully killed the thief's head, and defeated more than 1 enemies."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked.

Even Yang Yanzhang didn't expect that Wang Xiaojie could achieve such a terrifying record, and he looked at Wang Xiaojie in confusion.

Is this guy so fierce?
No wonder the Queen Mother was so excited. After all, no one expected that Wang Xiaojie, who had always been unpopular, would achieve such a remarkable achievement.

"Queen Mother, congratulations, congratulations. General Wei has made such a great contribution this time. He will definitely relieve your majesty's worries."

"My minister agrees."

All the officials knelt down and congratulated.

"I second the proposal." Yang Yanzhang quickly followed.

As for Wang Xiaojie, when he heard the congratulations from the officials, the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile, but it immediately dissipated and returned to his previous serious look.

Now, there is no voice in the entire court to punish Wang Xiaojie.

Wu Zetian nodded, and then praised Wang Xiaojie: "Good! Good! You are indeed the person that I like, and you have not lost the face of the Tang Dynasty."

"Come on, pass on the decree and make Wang Xiaojie a seventh-rank Wuling County Lieutenant. He will reward you with 80 taels of gold, [-] pieces of silk, a cart of silk cloth, and [-] shi of salt, grain and grass."

Hearing that Wu Zetian had rewarded him so much, all the officials below were envious and secretly hated themselves for not being able to achieve military exploits first.

Wang Xiaojie was also excited and thanked En and stepped aside.

At this time, as Wang Xiaojie defeated more than 1 enemies, the Japanese pirates' trouble was successfully resolved.

The remaining few thousand Japanese pirates could not cause any trouble in Dongzhou Mansion.

Wu Zetian has such confidence.

Although the number of Japanese pirates was large, in Wu Zetian's view they were still a ragtag group of people without any combat experience.

This kind of rabble without any training is vulnerable to the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!
As long as you can seize the opportunity, it is very simple to annihilate the remaining Japanese pirates in one go.

Once the Japanese pirate leader dies, the remaining minions will naturally not be a problem. They only need to send people to encircle and suppress them, and then behead them.

"Gentlemen, since the Japanese pirates' problem has been solved, let's continue discussing the matter of surrender." Wu Zetian said calmly.

The other civil servants all accepted it, after all, this was the top priority.

Now that the Japanese pirates have calmed down, it is time to consider the surrender of the Japanese pirates.

Although the Japanese pirates were defeated, it was only because the Tang Dynasty's powerful army was too powerful. Without this army, how could the Japanese pirates win with the help of their rabble?

This Japanese pirate disaster also proved that the Tang army was far superior to the barbarians at sea.

It's just that the Japanese pirate disaster has not been completely solved. There are still many Japanese pirates hiding on the islands or lurking in the water, ready to escape at any time.

In this case, they must be found as soon as possible and then eliminated to prevent these people from becoming a threat in the future.

So Wu Zetian decided to form a navy.

This is also in line with Wu Zetian's goal. Wu Zetian has long wanted to form a fleet. Otherwise, she would have waited until today if she had already formed one.

But it is not that easy to form a fleet.

First of all, the navy's manpower and weapons and equipment are extremely important.

Wu Zetian had a noble status, so she could naturally mobilize soldiers from the capital, but she could not count on the civil servants in the capital. Those civil servants might still dislike the fact that Wu Zetian built this fleet.

In this way, soldiers must be recruited from the civilian population, and they must even have certain military qualities.

This is quite difficult.The most important thing is that the navy has another very difficult condition, and that is the boat!
At this time, the sea area of ​​Datang was still very narrow and the voyage range was limited. They basically sailed along the coast and rarely entered the inland, so the shipbuilding industry was underdeveloped.

Even during the Ming Dynasty, the shipbuilding industry had only just begun to flourish.

In this era, the shipbuilding industry was in a primitive state, and it could even be said that there was no shipbuilding industry.

The main warships of the Tang Navy were all Fu Ships.

The Fortune Ship was once the exclusive means of transportation of the Song Dynasty.

Because it is slow, has low durability, and has a particularly deep waterline.

This led to the fact that the tonnage of this lucky ship was not large, and it had no weapons.

Historically, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Fu Chuan was used for a period of time to fight. At that time, Fu Chuan relied on a speedboat, and then relied on a small flag to lead a group of Fu Chuan's younger brothers to hunt down Japanese pirates.

It's a pity that the size of the Fuchuan is not only unable to change the speed, but also the tonnage is not enough to meet the ships needed for naval battles.

Finally, he was abandoned by the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, the generals of the Ming Dynasty simply changed the Fuchuan into a tool for carrying supplies. It was also the earliest means of transportation for the Tang Navy.

In the subsequent Tang Dynasty waters, Fu Chuan has become a tradition, and there are even Fu Chuan ports in some areas.

But this will not work in later generations. Fuchuan has been gradually eliminated, and only some wealthy families will buy it.

Moreover, although Datang's Fuchuan had some flaws, it also had advantages, that is, it had strong defensive capabilities and strong anti-collision capabilities.

Therefore, Datang's Fu Chuan has now been classified as a strategic-class vessel that is prohibited from use.

But this is only for Datang. If it were in other places, the fortune ship would be like ordinary goods, expensive and of no use.

It was with this in mind that Wu Zetian chose to form a navy in Yangzhou in order to be able to deal with sudden attacks on the sea.

"I order Wang Xiaojie to be the admiral of the navy and establish the Yangzhou navy." Wu Zetian gave the order directly.

"As ordered."

With the promulgation of Wu Zetian's imperial edict, the entire Yangzhou knew the news that the Japanese pirates had been calmed down.

Especially after the Japanese pirate rebellion ended, all the bandits evacuated Yangzhou, so everyone believed that all this was true.

This makes many people feel happy.

After all, they knew the evil reputation of Japanese pirates. It was no joke. Every time the Japanese pirates attacked the border, they burned, killed and looted.

Regardless of whether you are willing to pay or not, they will never allow you to refuse.

But now the Japanese pirates have finally been eliminated, which is a good thing for Datang and also provides security for the people.

"Has the disaster of Japanese pirates been solved? Are all the natives of the Japanese country really dead?"

"Nonsense, they must all be dead, otherwise how can we conquer the Japanese slaves?"

"Can the Japanese still surrender? We all know the evil reputation of Japanese pirates. What will we do if they rebel?"

"Don't worry, don't dare anymore, the Japanese pirates are dead. The remaining defeated Japanese pirates are now huddled on the pirates, not even a shadow is gone."

"That's true, the Japanese people really don't dare to take risks."

Although the Japanese rebellion was over, the people of Tang Dynasty were still full of fear of the Japanese.

After all, the vicious reputation of Japanese pirates is there, making people frightened by it. Everyone talks about them with a stern tone, fearing that they will appear in front of everyone again and bring danger to everyone.
