Become a feudal king from today

Pingcheng.

Chen Shou was a little confused.

Early this morning, Chang Wei suddenly arrived with his troops and went directly to the shipyard, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

If he hadn't known that the general was loyal to King Yan, he would have thought there was a mutiny.

"The pirates are here again!" After asking, Chen Shou almost jumped up when he learned the reason for the royal army's arrival.

Chang Wei nodded lightly, "Although it is just His Highness's guess, we must be on guard and we must not let these battleships be destroyed in the hands of thoughtful people again."

While talking about Chang Wei, he looked towards the river.

King Yan talked with him about building warships.

Each of these battleships was made of oak wood.

Even though he was just a rough man, he knew that this kind of wood was famous for being as hard as iron.

But the counterpart is its expensive price.

The cost of each warship was thus as high as hundreds of thousands of taels.

Currently, twelve warships are being built in the docks by the river.

If it is destroyed, the loss will be more than four million taels of silver and six months of time.

"Damn it." Chen Shou couldn't control himself from swearing.

The battleship in Jinghai County was destroyed, although King Yan did not severely punish him.

He has never forgiven himself in his heart.

That's all the money and the hard work of the craftsmen.

"They want to destroy the battleship unless they step over my body!" Chen Shou stamped his feet.

According to King Yan's request, he built twelve dry docks along the river.

In each dry dock there was a battleship under construction.

Now, the main body of the battleship is roughly completed, and the scattered ancillary structures will be completed in another three months.

Then it was dried for another two or three months, loaded with artillery, and the warship was ready to sail.

Now that everything was going perfectly, how could he endure yet another undoing of all his previous efforts.

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Chen. Didn't Your Highness ask me to come? As long as I am here, even if these pirates have three heads, they can't even think of destroying these battleships from my hands, Chang Wei." Chang Wei was angry when he saw Chen Shou. His face turned purple and he quickly comforted her.

Chen Shou felt much relieved after hearing this. He handed over to Chang Wei and said, "General Chang, I'll take care of you this time."

Chang Wei returned the salute and immediately ordered his generals and troops to go to the junction of the Haihe River and the Canal to conduct strict inspections.

At the same time, they observed the terrain near the shipyard for a while and ambush some soldiers on the side of the river bank facing away from the shipyard.

Because the river where the shipyard is located is a dead river.

He also set up the artillery position on the river bank at the dead end, overlooking the entire shipyard.

…

"Your Highness, all the pirates who attacked Jinghai County were wiped out by the last general."

Jinghai County.

Bai Shang gave Zhao Xu a heavy fist.

"Very good." Zhao Xu said, "Go back and I will ask Chang Wei to record a meritorious deed for you and the soldiers."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Bai Shang and the generals around him smiled.

At this time, Zhao Xu climbed onto the city wall and looked at the distant sea with a telescope.

More than thirty pirate warships are still anchored in place.

These warships are traditional hard-sailed tower ships.

Each warship can carry more than 200 people.

"Your Highness, there were still seventy-two warships on the sea the day before yesterday. When I woke up overnight, there were only more than thirty ships left on the sea." Bai Shang explained, "The general sent people in small boats to capture these warships, but the pirates He left people on the boat and bombarded the soldiers with artillery, and the general ordered the soldiers to withdraw. "

Speaking of this, Bai Shang felt a little regretful.

The only shortcoming of this battle was that these warships were not captured.

"More than forty ships missing?" Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Shang saw Zhao Xu's gloomy face and felt a little uneasy, thinking that he had done something wrong.

"Immediately send someone to Pingcheng and tell Chang Wei to order him to search the fleet in Haihe River." Zhao Xu said.

Although he knew it might be too late, it was still necessary to send someone there just to be sure.

Bai Shang suddenly realized that he immediately ordered a group of cavalry to go.

"I only thought these pirates were arrogant, but I didn't expect them to start attacking in the east and attack in the west." Bai Shang spat.

Then he said: "Your Highness, the last general has captured a Japanese. Other pirates have confessed that he is the deputy of the deputy island owner Heishan."

"Did you find out something?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Other pirates don't know much, but Yamada Ichino has a very tough mouth and won't open his mouth no matter what." Bai Shang said.

Zhao Xu sneered when he heard this, "Bring him out. I have many ways to make him speak."

In Zhao Xu's view, the country of Japan is about the same as a certain contemporary country.

After all, the aggressiveness and extremeness of island countries are largely determined by their geographical environment.

This is the same principle as when oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines, and when tangerines grow in Huaibei, they become tangerines.

Japan's narrow territory, scarce resources, and narrow national character shaped by the lack of ethnic integration on all sides are destined to make it full of aggression and extremism.

The only reason why they don't invade is because they don't have enough strength.

Anyone with power will inevitably start a war.

As far as he knew, at the end of the Qing Dynasty before Dasong, pirates composed of Japanese people continued to raid the southeastern coast.

Japan even invaded Goryeo at that time.

After the founding of Dasong, this kind of harassment has not stopped.

In addition, during the Age of Discovery, pirates and privateers roamed the entire ocean, leading to today's maritime ban.

"Yes, Your Highness." General Bai Shang ordered Yamada Kazuno to be taken out of the prison.

The two of them got off the city wall and waited outside the east gate.

Not long after, a man was dragged to the door by soldiers.

When he got closer, Zhao Xu was slightly startled.

Even the attire looks so much like a contemporary Japanese warrior.

"Baga, the thin belt of the entrance building is rolling over the road..." Yamada Kazuno was extremely jealous when he saw Bai Shang, and kept cursing in his mouth.

At this time, the palace soldiers threw him to the ground.

"What bird language is he talking about!" Bai Shang frowned. Although he didn't understand, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

"He called you a bastard and wanted to kill you." Zhao Xu said.

"Fuck you!" Bai Shang heard this and kicked Yamada Kazuo, knocking him to the ground.

But Yamada Kazuno ignored Bai Shang at this time, stood up and stared at Zhao Xu, "Who are you? How do you understand Japanese."

Bai Shang was respectful to this person, and he looked like a high-status official.

It was impossible for the Dasong official to understand Japanese, so he asked again in Japanese.

"I am King Yan!" Zhao Xu said.

Yamada Kazuno's eyes narrowed, and then he said angrily: "I advise you to let me go, otherwise Wufeng Island will not let you go, and your Yanzhou coast will never have peace in the future..."

Zhao Xu just sneered.

These pirates have been plundering the coast for a long time, and they have obviously developed an extremely domineering habit because local officials have fled.

He thought that with a few threats, he would send them back with good food and wine like the officials in the southeast.

"I know thirty-four categories and more than five hundred kinds of torture. It is said that your mouth is very tough. I want to try to see if it is your mouth that is tougher or these tortures." Zhao Xu sneered again and again.

The tortures he mentioned were the methods used by the Japanese army to persecute the people when they invaded China today.

The level of cruelty is appalling.

If he had not come here, I am afraid that Dasong and his descendants would also suffer the same tragedy.

Bai Shang sneered when he heard this.

I don’t know how many Dasong people died tragically at the hands of these pirates over the years.

According to rumors, these pirates often take pleasure in killing people, including young, old, women and children.

For him, no torture was too much for Yamada Kazuno.
