Become a feudal king from today

"Treasure Island? This is a good name, and it will make a lot of money." Zhou Yi smacked his lips and laughed.

He knew very well that King Yan's real purpose of building this fleet was for trade.

From now on, he must cooperate with the businessmen to bring a steady stream of wealth to the four northern counties. Only then can he be qualified as a naval admiral.

Zhao Xu smiled, "As for your names..."

He looked at the shark churning in the water and said, "It's called the Black Shark Pirate."

"Domineering." Zhou Yi and Gong Ying looked at each other and laughed.

Gong Ying seemed to have doubts and said: "Your Highness, but even so, I'm afraid it can't completely conceal our relationship with Your Highness."

Zhao Xu nodded, "It is true, but this is enough. If I don't admit it, you don't admit it either. Even if they are suspicious, they can only stare."

In contemporary times, Britain was the first to develop privateers in the Age of Discovery.

In order to deal with Spain and the Netherlands, their enemies in maritime trade.

Although Queen Elizabeth of England built these privateers herself, the official relationship with them was not recognized at all.

Other countries can only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and they can also build their own privateer fleets to fight against it.

Now he and Zhou Yi's Black Shark Pirates are also on the same page.

He built warships and trained naval generals and soldiers, but he simply did not recognize this as his own power.

Even if someone impeached him in court, he would not admit it.

If they have the ability, they can destroy the Black Shark pirates themselves.

"That's right." Gong Ying nodded. In this way, they could work more freely.

Anyway, King Yan is their confidence.

After agreeing on the matter, Zhao Xu ordered Zhou Yi to send him back to the coast.

At this moment, the Beidi soldiers who survived the sea arrived at the shore under the impact of the waves.

They threw away their armor and were in a very embarrassed state. They were all like drowned rats.

And when they climbed onto the beach, they found that Dasong soldiers were waiting for them.

The wolf-like soldiers of Dasong couldn't help but beat them violently when they saw them. Then they were tied up with ropes and taken away in bunches.

Zhao Xu took a boat and watched Da Song catching Beidi soldiers on the beach like a pig.

When they arrived at the beach, Bai Shang immediately led his troops over.

"Your Highness, this is so wonderful." Bai Shang's face flushed.

Just now, he and the soldiers watched the entire naval battle.

More than 300 Beidi warships looked menacing.

But under the attack of twelve royal warships, it was as fragile as a baby, and Beidi warships sank to the bottom of the sea one after another.

The eyes of the generals around Bai Shang also shone.

This battle was so enjoyable.

The Wangfu battleship's attack on Beidi was completely one-sided.

As the Beidi warship sank, the pride in their hearts continued to rise.

Zhao Xu laughed.

There is no doubt that this naval battle will make the palace soldiers more confident when facing Beidi.

He said: "In this case, I hope that one day you will be able to fight the Beidi cavalry like these battleships without any power to fight back."

"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Shang and the generals shouted loudly.

Zhao Xu nodded and looked at the Beidi soldiers who were washed up on the beach by the waves, "Let's continue catching pigs."

After that, he left the beach under the protection of Xu Lie.

At the same time, Zhou Yi was ordered to hand over Ulanba to Bai Shang, and then let Bai Shang be escorted to Yancheng.

Spent the night in Leting.

Early the next morning, Bai Shang reported the number of prisoners captured.

"Your Highness, this time we captured a total of thirty-six thousand prisoners."

"It's a pity, otherwise the mine would have a lot more labor." Zhao Xu said.

He deliberately chose the battlefield near the beach in order to capture as many prisoners as possible.

When attacking Beidi warships, Zhou Yi and others did not aim to kill Beidi soldiers.

Often when a ship sank, they would attack the next one.

It's just that the water quality of Beidi soldiers is really poor.

Most still drowned.

"Temporarily detain these prisoners in Leting. Officials from the government will come to collect them." Zhao Xu said.

After returning to Yancheng, he would ask Liu Fu to make unified arrangements and send people wherever they were needed.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Xu said to Bai Shang: "In addition, we will hoard troops and horses at the junction of the south of Ping County and Fanyang County. When I get the evidence, I will clean up the Yuan family."

He has never forgotten what happened to Liao County and Heping County last time.

Yuan Li encouraged the wealthy families of the two counties to flee and took away a large amount of wealth.

Now when Yuan Li went south in Beidi, he did this kind of collusion with the enemy and betrayed the country.

This time, even if he couldn't kill Yuan Li, he would still cut ten pounds of flesh from Yuan Li's body.

"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Shang responded, and then he said: "Your Highness's Beidi troops who came south from the sea were wiped out, but what to do with the Beidi army outside Yanguan?"

This naval battle made his hands itchy, and he wanted to fight Beidi on land.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "At sea, Beidi failed. The two Beidi king's tents outside Yanguan no longer threaten Yanguan. There is no need to let the soldiers die in vain. Moreover, the battle situation in Beidi is unknown, so it is not easy to act rashly."

There is a vast plain outside Yanguan, and Beidi has artillery and cavalry.

He is confident that the royal army can win, but he will also pay a certain proportion of casualties.

Furthermore, if the Beidi cavalry cannot win, they can run away.

For infantry, even if they win on the battlefield, they cannot pursue and complete the mission of total annihilation.

If it goes too deep, the supply line will become fragile and prone to failure.

Moreover, he only solved the crisis in Yanzhou.

But the war in the northwest was also very important.

If a big mess occurs, Dasong's situation will deteriorate dramatically.

Before, he already knew that Zhao Heng continued to make advances under the instigation of the second prince.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Once Beidi and Xiliang really set a trap near Yongzhou, Emperor Dasong may not be able to escape.

At that time, no matter whether the emperor is captured or killed, there will be a bloody storm in Dasong.

His victory in Yanzhou means nothing.

Thinking of this, he decided to return to Yancheng to wait for news so that he could respond at any time.

At noon two days later, he arrived in Yancheng.

Before they reached the city gate, they saw Liu Fu leading a Forbidden Army soldier in a hurry.

After bowing, Liu Fu said anxiously: "Your Highness came back just in time. I was about to send someone to deliver a message to His Highness. There was a big chaos in the northwest. The Northern Expeditionary Army fell into a trap. Now the Emperor is trapped in Xiancheng. This When Tan Ma came to Yanzhou, General Yang was fighting fiercely with Beidi in Yongcheng."

"Something happened." Zhao Xu frowned.

"Your Highness King Yan, Your Majesty, please lead your troops to Qinzhou immediately to rescue him." A soldier of the Forbidden Army knelt down on one knee, "If it's too late, it will be too late."

When Zhao Xu heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

After winning the naval battle, although he was happy, he still felt a little unhappy.

The source of unhappiness is the war in the northwest.

Now, this trouble finally comes to him.
