History’s Strongest Husband

(Congratulations to Doom Counterattack for becoming the new leader of this book, thank you)

The Xue family can be regarded as a family that looked at the world very early.

When people in the world fix their eyes on the land, they turn to the sea.

Of course, to some extent, this was also inspired by Earl Jin Zhou.

More than a hundred years ago, the entire eastern coastal area of ​​Yue State was ravaged by pirates, and the Xue family suffered a catastrophe.

Jin Zhou was born out of nowhere, and with his own power, wiped out all the pirates on the coastline of thousands of miles.

That is, from that time on, the Xue family began to consciously manage the ocean.

For decades, after several generations of hard work, and finally with some achievements, Xue gradually shifted his focus to the ocean.

But at that time, the Jin family also had a patriarch who valued the ocean, that is, Earl Jin Yu, who tried his best to borrow millions of gold coins from Yinyuanhui, hired a whole fleet, tens of thousands of troops, and went there in a mighty manner. Attack the pirate king Qiu Tianwei and seize the Leizhou Islands.

At that time, the Xue family was not only the absolute ally of the Jin family, but also the in-laws for generations, and the other party had some business in the ocean, so of course the two hit it off.

Moreover, the Xue family showed great enthusiasm to help the Jin family.

Unexpectedly, the Xue family and Yin Yuanhui joined hands to bring the coalition forces of the Jin family into hell.

Many people don't know why.

Is it because of kindness and enmity?

of course not.

Because the interests of the sea are limited, the Xue family has already enjoyed the benefits of the sea, and of course he does not want the Jin family to enjoy it.

Moreover, under the leadership of Yinyuanhui, the Xue family and Qiu Tianwei also had a lot of interests.

Qiu Tianwei occupied the trading rights in the eastern sea area, and Xue Che monopolized the trading rights in the southern sea area.

Earl Jin Yu has a lot of ambition and talent, so he rushed in rashly, of course, there is only one dead end.

The Leizhou Islands cover an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers.

And the Xue family's Nanzhou Islands are similar,

About 17,000 square kilometers.

After decades of operation, it already has hundreds of thousands of people.

Although the area of ​​cultivated fields on these islands is not very large, the climate is hot and three crops are harvested a year.

Therefore, not only can food be self-sufficient, but also a large amount of salt can be produced.

There are iron mines in Jinshan Island, and there are also iron mines in the Nanzhou Islands.

Not only that, the Xue family also has two large businesses.

Palm oil, precious wood.

Within a few thousand miles of the southern seas, there are dozens of countries, large and small, with countless virgin forests, rich in palm oil and valuable timber.

The entire Yue Kingdom, and even the rich and noble families of the entire Eastern Dynasty, all like huanghuali wood and red sandalwood.

And more than half of these businesses are semi-monopolized by the Xue family and Yinyuanhui.

Compared to the Jin family who seized Raging Tide City vigorously, the Xue family is the one who really made a fortune silently.

This family is truly wealthy.

It is precisely because of the interests and wealth of Potian that the Xue family climbed up the Futu Mountain and climbed up the relationship with the empire.

So this time when Xue Che returned to Yue from Yanjing, Ning Yuanxian showed his heart to heart, but Xue Che didn't react violently.

Because his vision has long surpassed the Yue Kingdom, focusing on the entire Great Yan Empire.

It is precisely because of the overwhelming wealth that the Xue family has a powerful fleet and a powerful South China Sea Sword Sect.

……………………

"Chong lost." Xue Che narrowed his eyes: "So fast? The Nirvana Army really shouldn't have appeared in this world."

He is playing with an emerald in his hand, which is a newly mined emerald. According to the words on the earth, it is a glass species, a top-grade emerald.

He holds an emerald in his left hand and glass in his right.

This glass is also produced by Shen Lang, and it has become a luxury item popular in the Eastern world.

After careful comparison, it is found that the glass is still crystal clear.

"This jadeite business can't be done." Xue Che said: "The cost of Shen Lang's glass is frighteningly low. Even if our jadeite is mined, the price cannot be sold to them, and their glass already has various colors. .”

"However, our jadeite is natural, while Shen Lang's glass is man-made, and its value is far inferior to our jadeite." The shopkeeper in charge of the jadeite business said: "So in the end, glass is still no match for jadeite."

Xue Che said: "This is true, but at least ten or twenty years later. Rare things are more expensive. The amount of glass released by Shen Lang and Tiandaohui every year is less than our jadeite, and the price is not high. There are even rumors It is said that these glasses are all extracted from jadeite, how can this business be done?"

Glass is extracted from emeralds. Who spread this shameless remark?

Of course it was Shen Lang, otherwise how could the glass be sold at a sky-high price?

The shopkeeper said: "Do we still want those emerald mines?"

"Yes, of course." Xue Che said: "Not only the few jadeite mines, but also all the jadeite mines must be contracted, and then completely sealed up and not mined, so that the production of jadeite in the entire eastern world will be completely reduced at once. It becomes rarer and rarer. A few decades from now, glass will be available on a large scale, and its value will plummet, from luxury to commonplace. At that time, emerald will be able to rise again.”

The shopkeeper said bitterly: "My lord is wise."

This decision is indeed very wise, but it has nothing to do with him.

Because the lord's strategy will take at least several decades to see the effect, and his son will have retired by that time.

"Father, the imperial envoy is here," Xue Pan said.

……………………

"Kowtow to His Royal Highness." Xue Che was about to kneel down.

The imperial envoy is still Prince Lian.

"Chang Yao has lost." Prince Lian said.

Xue Che said: "I have already heard about it."

Prince Lian of the Empire said: "If you lose, you lose, and your plan continues."

Xue Che said: "Yes, I am gathering the army. Once the gathering is completed, the Jin family's surface fleet can be completely wiped out, the Tide City can be captured, and the entire eastern sea area can be completely blocked."

Prince Lian of the Empire said: "I once promised Chong Yao that as long as he destroys the Nirvana Army, the Chong family will establish itself as a country. Now I also promise you on behalf of the empire, as long as you destroy the Jin family's sea fleet, as long as you block After conquering the eastern waters of the Yue Kingdom, the empire also allowed the Xue family to form a country on their own, how about the title of the Principality of Nanzhou?"

Xue Che immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: "I must never dare to think about it. The Xue family has only wanted to be loyal ministers of the empire for generations, and they do not want to establish a country on their own."

As soon as these words came out, Prince Lian of the Empire narrowed his eyes.

From this sentence alone, it can be seen that Xue Che is much smarter than Chong Yao.

Whether it is Zhong Yao or Su Nan, there is an obsession in their minds, to establish a country on their own.

But don't you know that His Majesty the Emperor already wants to completely unify the whole world?

At that time, even the kingdom will not be able to be kept, let alone your principality?

You keep claiming to establish yourself as a country. Although the empire allows it, you are not very happy in your heart.

Only Xue Che made a fortune silently.

The Xue family is obviously richer than the Su family and the Zhong family, but it is still an earl, and even Jin Zhuo has been promoted to a marquis.

Prince Lian of the Empire said: "Then what do you want? The Empire cannot make you work for nothing."

Xue Che said: "After taking down the Leizhou Islands and Raging Tide City, I am willing to manage the Leizhou Islands for the empire."

Prince Lian leaned back slightly.

This calculation is shrewd. He doesn't want the false name of the principality, and he doesn't want to be the king of a country, but wants to rule the Leizhou Islands.

This is not just an archipelago, but also the trading rights in the eastern waters of Vietnam.

"Xue Che, you have wanted to fight the Leizhou Islands for a long time." Prince Lian said.

Xue Che kowtowed: "His Royal Highness is laughing."

More than that, it's just salivating.

The Xue family rose up by taking the road of the sea, and now the Jin family actually wants to copy the trajectory of the Xue family, how is this possible?

More than 20 years ago, Xue Che finally killed the Jin family's ocean road, and now the Jin family is about to rise again, how can he not be anxious?

You can say that.

From the moment Shen Lang wiped out Qiu Tianwei and seized Fury Tide City. The Xue family is preparing for this battle, preparing to destroy the Jin family and capture Raging Tide City.

"Okay, I'll give you both the Leizhou Islands and Raging Tide City." Prince Lian said.

The two of them did not discuss any private transactions, but Prince Lian also had a share in the business of the Xue family.

In Yanjing for more than ten years, Xue Che has built a big network with profits.

Prince Lian said: "Xue Che, let me reiterate that if Zhong Yao loses, he loses. It doesn't matter. But it is extremely important to destroy the Jin family and completely block the eastern sea area. Do you understand? You just received orders One of the family, the Wu Kingdom in the north, the imperial fleet in the north, and the alien fleet in the north have all received the will of the empire. Completely blockade the entire eastern world sea area, more than 15,000 miles from north to south, a total of ten Several fleets are involved."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Che's body trembled slightly.

Such a big deal?

A sea area of ​​more than 15,000 miles?

Then Xue Che was responsible for only two or three thousand miles.

what's going on?

To block the sea for more than 10,000 miles?

Prince Lian said: "You are a smart person, you should know the weight of this. I won't tell you why, but I can tell you that the sky will fall soon."

Xue Che kowtowed: "I just obey the will of the empire and never dare to speculate."

Prince Lian of the Empire said: "Okay, let's do the job well. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you have caught up with it. The credit is great, but it is easy to do."

"The minister obeys the order!"

………………

After Prince Lian of the Empire left.

Xue Che came to the huge map.

From this map, it can be seen that he is different from other nobles in Yue.

In the map of the Jin family, only the eastern waters of Yue State were included.

Ning Yuanxian's map only included the surrounding area of ​​Yue Kingdom.

However, Xue Che's big map is the ocean and islands of the entire eastern world.

His gaze ranged from the northernmost sea of ​​permafrost to the southernmost island of Mercy, with a straight-line distance of more than 16,800 miles.

Something happened, something must have happened.

Otherwise, the empire would definitely not use such a large amount of money.

A total of more than a dozen fleets from several countries were dispatched to blockade the sea area of ​​more than 10,000 miles.

What is being blocked?

In other words, who is blocking?

Something must have happened.

What exactly happened?

Xue Che didn't really want to know, he only knew what great benefits he could get from it.

Prince Lian said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is easy to make such a great contribution.

The Kim family?

Maybe it's just an insignificant supporting role in this big drama.

The Jin family and the Leizhou Islands are just a small stumbling block in the empire's plan?

………………

Xue's fleet has already assembled.

The reason why I never set off was simply because there was no agreement.

Now that the negotiation is settled, it is natural to set off.

The one leading the army is Yan Nanfei, not only one of the great masters, the master of the South Sea Sword Sect, but also has an incomparably close relationship with Futu Mountain.

Xue Che said: "Brother, you must remember one sentence. Use the smallest price to destroy the Jin family, and even kill everyone in Furious Tide City. We don't need everyone in Furious Tide City. We only want this Islands. And the Jin family must be wiped out, from the eighty-year-old woman down to the young children who are waiting to be fed, all of them must not be let go, and the roots must be wiped out."

Yan Nanfei cupped his hands and said: "Brother, I will remember."

Xue Che said: "Our brothers, one is in charge of the inside and the other is in charge of the outside. You have worked hard."

Yan Nanfei said: "Brother worked hard."

Xue Che said: "Xue Pan, come here."

Xue Pan, the eldest son of the Xue family, came over.

Xue Che said: "You also go to study with your uncle. You have stayed on the ground for too long, and you need to go to the ocean to practice and experience."

Xue Pan bowed and said, "Yes."

Yan Nanfei said: "I will leave everything in the family to my elder brother."

Xue Che said: "Don't worry, the Nanzhou Islands, the foundation of our family, are more than two thousand miles away from the land. With Xue's fleet here, the Nanzhou Islands can sit back and relax."

Yan Nanfei and Xue Pan boarded the tall flagship of the Xue family.

"Set off!"

One order.

Flags fly.

The fleet of the Xue family left the pier of the Nanzhou Islands in a mighty way, and headed towards the northeast direction of Raging Tide City, a distance of more than 3,500 miles.

"Remember, brother, cut the weeds and root them out!"

On the tallest castle in Nanzhou City.

Ning Qi and Xue Xue watched Xue's fleet leave.

This fleet can really be called mighty.

There are more than 200 large and small ships, and a total of 30,000 people.

Of course, this is also a coalition.

Among them, 60% belonged to the Xue family, and 40% belonged to the ships of the nearby sea forces.

Every battle is like this.

As the leader of this sea area, the Xue family must bring other forces, one is to increase combat effectiveness, and the other is to protect the safety of the land.

Otherwise, the main fleet is gone, leaving behind a large number of younger brothers, what if they are ready to move and have ambitions that they shouldn't have?

Maybe someone will ask.

Before Qiu Tianwei had 30,000 pirates, now Xue Che can gather 30,000 coalition troops?

Can this sea area breed so many sea forces?

sure!

This is the trade interests of more than four to five thousand miles of sea, and dozens of national forces, large and small.

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the great pirate Zhang Baozai occupied a much smaller territory, but in his heyday, he had thousands of ships of various types and an army of more than 70,000 pirates.

Ning Qi looked at the fleet with complicated eyes.

"Your Highness..." Xue Xue stepped forward and hugged Ning Qi from behind, and said softly, "You don't have to be sentimental, I have a hunch that your time will soon come."

Ning Qi didn't speak.

After he came to the Xue family's territory, the Xue family still respected him.

In particular, Xue Che came to pay his respects every day, and still regarded him as a young master, but Ning Qi could still feel the feeling of being under the fence.

………………

It was not only Ning Qi who was watching Xue's fleet leave from the castle, but also a person, Yan E, the governor in front of the Black Water Terrace.

This is also a top master who has the reality of a master, but does not have the name of a master.

His heart is even more complicated.

He is the true direct descendant of Ning Yuanxian, and also the senior brother of Xue Che and Yan Nanfei.

Because of interests, because of deeper entanglements, he went further and further on Xue's road.

But he really never thought about going against Ning Yuanxian.

So when he went to catch Ning Gang, the moment he saw Ning Yuanxian woke up, he immediately gave up all resistance and knelt down on the ground.

However, he couldn't get off the ship of Xue Shi and Ning Qi either.

And it was absolutely impossible for Ning Yuanxian to trust him anymore, so he chose to leave.

Although this place is good, it is not my hometown. I hope that one day, I can return to Tianyue.

………………

The Xue family's fleet is the absolute overlord in this sea area, and fleets of other forces will not appear until within the territorial waters of Tiannan Province.

Therefore, in the sea area of ​​more than two thousand miles, Yan Nanfei seemed to be cruising in his own bathtub.

Xue Pan looked at the boundless sea and said, "Uncle, Earl Jin Zhou was so powerful back then, why didn't he occupy all the islands in the eastern and southern seas, and then move all the Jin family overseas?"

Yan Nanfei said: "One is because of stupidity, and the other is because of early death."

Xue Pan said: "This time we are going to kill the entire Jin family, including Jin Mulan?"

Yan Nanfei said: "I hope that including her, the will of the empire will wipe out all those with special bloodlines."

To be precise, all people with special bloodlines who are not from the six major forces will be erased.

From now on, only the empire and the six transcendent forces can control the power of ancient civilizations.

"That's a pity." Xue Pan said.

His words revealed incomparably nasty embarrassment.

Jin Mulan is so beautiful, especially after Nirvana, her beauty stands at the top of the pyramid.

Xue Pan was also extremely coveted in his heart.

Yan Nanfei said: "The last person who coveted Jin Mulan was Ning Yi."

Xue Pan said, "Uncle was joking."

Yan Nanfei said: "I'm not kidding, Jin Mulan was beautiful enough before, and was regarded as forbidden by Prince Ning Yi, but now Ning Yi is finished. Now Jin Mulan is even more beautiful, so beautiful that people can't open their eyes. So You can’t touch it, once you touch it, it will make many big people hate you, you know?”

Xue Pan said: "My nephew knows."

Yan Nanfei said: "So destroy it directly, chop it up thoroughly, and avoid harm."

On the mast of Xue's flagship, there is a person watching all the time, standing on the highest point to observe the enemy's situation.

He was a little lazy.

Because there is no possibility of any hostility within these two thousand miles, this is completely regarded as the inner sea of ​​the Xue family.

The Raging Tide City of the Jin family is still two or three thousand miles away.

Moreover, the navy of the Jin family is so weak that it makes people cry. It has been several years, and even the howling of the pirates has not been able to extinguish it.

A land army can be trained within a few years, but a sea fleet needs decades to become a powerful navy.

Everyone in Xue's Fleet knew that the key to this battle was to besiege Furious Tide City.

There is absolutely no suspense in the battle on the sea.

It is a spike directly.

How many ships does the Kim family have in their fleet? How many people?

Less than a fraction of Xue's coalition forces.

Moreover, their boats are small, while Xue's warships are big and strong.

Not only that, Xue's warships have trebuchets and giant crossbows.

The warship of the Kim family is so small that it can't hold anything.

So in front of the Xue family's coalition forces, the Jin family's fleet is really like a toddler, absolutely vulnerable.

Perhaps it has been strong for too long, making the lookout warrior on the mast completely uninterested.

Because there has not been an enemy of sufficient weight for more than ten years.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, a black spot seemed to appear on the sea far ahead.

The lookouts of the Xue family couldn't help being startled.

Is this the merchant ship?

He didn't pay too much attention to it either. It was normal for merchant ships to appear in this area, and it was even normal for patrol ships of the Xue family to appear.

However……

The next moment, dozens of black spots appeared densely.

This is not normal, absolutely not normal.

First of all, the trade fleet cannot be so dense, and it is not in this formation.

But the distance is too far to see clearly.

After another quarter of an hour, I finally saw clearly.

I... Fuck!

This, is this the hell?

what do i see

The fleet of the Kim family?

The masthand wiped his eyes desperately, then patted his head hard.

Am I hallucinating?

Got a little closer.

He finally saw clearly.

It really is the fleet of the Kim family.

Then, he hastily struck the gong.

"There are enemies, there are enemies..."

"Dangdangdang..."

"There is hostility."

Then, flag bearers across the flagship waved desperately.

Warn the entire fleet.

In fact, many people have seen it.

Yan Nanfei and Xue Pan also saw it.

They couldn't believe their eyes either.

Is the Jin family crazy?

Is Shen Lang crazy?

We haven't hit you in Raging Tide City yet? You actually came to beat our Xue family?

How many ships does your fleet have?

How many people are there?

Your Nirvana Army is invincible on the ground, but completely useless on the sea.

You are looking for death too simply, right?

Soon Yan Nanfei saw clearly, and couldn't believe it even more.

The Jin family's fleet has only forty ships, and the ships are not large, adding up to no more than four thousand people.

These ships look very flat, very slender.

But other than that, there are no advantages. More than 4,000 of you came to take the initiative to attack my fleet of 30,000 people?

But since you, Shen Lang, are willing to die, I am also willing to bury you.

Yan Nanfei gave an order.

"Ready to fight, ready to fight!"

"The fleet is in an enveloping formation!"

………………

Naval battles are extremely troublesome.

Especially in naval battles at this time, it takes a long time to arrange formations.

Although the two fleets are already very close.

But after more than an hour, the naval battle officially broke out.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The fleet of the Xue family showed amazing long-range combat effectiveness.

They have a total of more than 200 large and small ships, including more than 30 large ships.

These large ships are equipped with giant crossbows and large trebuchets, which can launch attacks at a distance of more than 300 meters.

This power is simply astonishing.

but……

This accuracy is also touching.

The giant crossbow is okay, and it still has a certain degree of accuracy.

As for the trebuchet, it really can only hit the sea.

To be able to hit a shot, it is definitely lucky.

The fleet of the Xue family exploded violently, and its posture was astonishing.

But the result is almost zero.

There is no way, even in the era of artillery warships, I don't know how long it will take to master the accuracy of the bombardment.

And what about Shen Lang's fleet?

No giant catapults, no trebuchets.

Rely on only one.

Archer.

Is this a joke?

Is this a sea battle going back to Earth BC?

"Whoosh whoosh..."

On Shen Lang's fleet, Nirvana Army's arrows rained down.

All are rockets.

Draw a beautiful arc in the air.

"Puff puff puff..."

The rain of arrows slammed heavily on the fleet of the Xue family.

Yan Nanfei and the others were surprised.

This is just insane.

How far can the archers of the Kim family shoot?

This is almost extreme.

The two crossbows were thrown into the air, and they could shoot nearly 300 meters away.

But precision?

It doesn't matter if you don't say anything.

try your luck.

In this way, the two fleets fought for half an hour!

The Shen Lang fleet unexpectedly gained the upper hand.

Because the Nirvana Army's arrows shot too far, not weaker than the giant crossbows and large catapults of Xue's fleet.

Moreover, shooting arrows with 3,000 people is better than dozens of giant crossbows and trebuchets.

But the results?

It doesn't matter if you don't say anything.

At this distance, even the arrows of the Nirvana Army are useless.

Even if it is a rocket, it is difficult to ignite Xue's ship.

Fight for half an hour.

Hundreds of casualties.

Moreover, the distance between the two sides has always been maintained within a certain range.

There is no way.

Shen Lang didn't dare to take any risks.

The disparity in the strength of the fleets of the two sides is too great, once Xue's fleet approaches, it will be dangerous.

Shen Lang's ships are light, flexible and fast.

But relatively speaking, it is also relatively fragile. Once it hits a few trebuchets and giant crossbows, the injury will not be light.

After fighting for half an hour.

Shen Lang's fleet fled.

The Xue family fleet pursued frantically.

At this time, Yan Nanfei finally discovered the characteristics of the Shen Lang fleet.

Fast and very flexible.

The speed of the entire fleet is about 20% faster than Xue's fleet.

The two fleets began a frantic chase.

Originally, Xue's fleet could never catch up with Shen Lang's fleet.

But Shen Lang is too cheap, every time the distance is too far, his fleet will deliberately slow down so that Xue's fleet can catch up.

The whole process was like a beauty teasing a hooligan.

"Come here, come here, as long as you catch up with me, I will let you XXX."

As a result, the hooligans chased him frantically, but couldn't catch up at all.

When you were about to give up, the beauty stopped again, scratching her head and gesticulating: "Come here, as long as you catch up with me, I will let you sleep."

………………

Two full days and two nights passed.

Xue's fleet has been chasing frantically, and has never fought a serious battle at all.

Xue Pan said: "Uncle, Shen Lang is deceitful and tricky."

Yan Nanfei sneered.

Of course Shen Lang has tricks.

Is this trying to lead Xue's fleet to some terrible hell?

It's ridiculous.

Who is most familiar with this sea area?

It's not you, Shen Lang, but my Xue family.

You, Shen Lang, are certainly scheming, but I, Yan Nanfei, grew up on the sea.

This area is the inner sea of ​​my Xue family, and I know it well.

………………

On the flagship of the Kim family.

Mulan stood at the bow, closed her eyes and sensed the ocean.

She heard the roar of the sea, the sea breeze, and the bottom of the sea.

Shen Lang stepped forward and said, "Honey, are you sure?"

Mulan said: "It's confirmed. The ocean is whining, whimpering, and accumulating endless power. It's waiting for an instant eruption."

Shen Lang said: "Then is this outbreak powerful enough?"

Mulan said: "Whether it's our fleet or the Xue family's fleet, in the face of the majesty of the ocean, it is like a child's toy. It can easily be reduced to dust."

After Mulan transformed, she possessed the perception of ancient humans.

perception of nature as a whole.

The perception of the land, the ocean, and the climate.

She was able to know when it was windy, when it was raining, and when it was thundering.

Even more terrible disasters, she can foresee them in advance.

He demonstrated this ability a few months ago.

So Yan Nanfei's hunch was correct, Shen Lang was about to bring the fleet of the Xue family to hell.

………………

Note: Today's two updates are 16,000! Once again, I am exhausted, everyone, please give me the monthly pass, and the pastry is begging.
