"Young Master." The maid, who was the leader, looked beautiful, had extremely regular words and deeds, did not have any prejudice or seduction, and was restless. After coming to the young man, he bowed solemnly and naturally.

"Mother asked you to send it? Let it go there!" The young man was not surprised by their arrival. His expression was only faint, without any change. He casually pointed at the desk next to him and said.

"It was the master who asked me to send it to me." After receiving the order, the maid elegantly placed a few plates of exquisite snacks one by one on the table beside her, and stood in a row, waiting obediently for the young master's orders.

The young man's expression moved, "There is nothing else, let's step down first." He said lightly in a blink of an eye.

"No." The maids saluted the young man respectfully and concisely, and then left quietly together. They did not earn the young man's attention!

"Fengyu, Yuncao, Calla Lily..."

Since rejecting the imperial court's response, my father has not given me any good deeds. Today, I ordered someone to give me some snacks, but this is still the same...

A glimmer flashed in the young man's eyes. I'm afraid that something has changed and something big happened!

Two quarters of an hour later, a servant in a civilian came to the young man and whispered.

"Donghai City is broken?"

The young man was stiff and could no longer maintain his previous calm expression. He couldn't help but stand up and walked back and down the shade of the tree.

The Donghai City, which is extremely strong and much stronger than the Qi capital, Zibo, why did it break so quickly? A figure permeates the whole thing - Zhu Biao!

The young man was very patient and thought about the impact of the situation on the East River after the Haizhou was broken.

The two states of Canghai are just under the butt of Qi and Lu. Now that the Tang King camp is unified, it means that neither Qi and Lu have any worries. The Qi State, which is on the verge of destruction, is in a different situation than the Lu State on the verge of destruction. The reason why the King of Qi was reluctant to express his opinion was because the two states of Canghai were eyeing each other. If one or two states raised the flag and sent troops to the court, Qi State would be destroyed in an instant.

Cangzhou stood on the side of the Tang King, which made Qi feel relieved. Now that the Donghai City is broken, Haizhou is completely included in the Tang King's camp. Qi no longer has to worry about being attacked on both sides. And there is a place to ask for help!

only……

Will the Tang King, who was under pressure from Yizhou and even the south, let the Cangzhou army go north? Compared with the stakes of Lu, will the Cangzhou army enter Qi even if it goes north?

With the young man who was deeply resentful to the present King of Qi in his heart, he saw a shining way out.

When the army heading north entered Qilu, it was applied to the past. In history, this was a path that many people had already walked!

It is best to go north to Qi...

In troubled times, no man has ambitions. Those who bury their heads and ignore the world are more losers and cowards on the road of life.

September in the fifth year of Yuanwu.

Outside the sea of ​​Haizhou.

Zhu Biao stood on the platform on the Five Teeth Ship, and his personal soldiers stood behind him.

A large number of Zhou army's naval fleets in the distance were already in sight. One after another, the giant warships were connected, spreading for ten miles, forming a vast team on the sea surface, covering people's eyes.

Zhu Biao had already seen the mighty naval force of the Lu State Navy, but it was pale in comparison with the endless Zhou army warships that appeared on the sea level in front of him.

Zhu Biao's face remained unchanged. He felt awe in his heart, "looking like a mountain". The momentum of the Zhou army's naval division outside the sea was as powerful and vigorous as the tall five-toothed ship.

In this era, the elite soldiers of the ships were as powerful as the strong ships and cannons in the 189th century in the previous life, and were as powerful as those of them.

Three five-toothed ships, at least ten ships, bucket ships, and tower ships were the main force, followed by a large number of loach ships. As for the vehicles and falcon ships often equipped by the Inland Waters Navy, there was no sign of them at all.

The sea is not as strong as rivers, with strong winds and rapid waves, and is not suitable for vehicles and ships, nor is it a sea falcon, grasshoppers and boats, which can shuttle and travel.

There are not 100,000 people, and there are 70,000 to 80,000. In the battle between Zhu Biao, the coalition forces with the Lu Navy as the main force, and the battle between more than 100,000 foreign naval divisions is simply unimaginable in the history of war on earth!

Zhu Biao had long known the vastness of this world, and could not help but feel sorry for the spirit of war. This is more than 100,000 pure naval forces. As a money-burning army, the total investment of financial and material resources between the two parties is enough to exceed the battle of a million troops.

The waves slapped the hull, and a string of flags raised in the Lu Navy formation with his left hand. After Zhu Biao took a look, he waved his hand and the fleet formed by him relying on the surrendered 20,000 Haizhou Outer Sea Navy immediately became busy.

The King of Tang did not hand over Haizhou to Chen Kui, which was impossible. Although Chen Kui now has become the governor of Cangzhou and became an important official under the King of Tang, the King of Tang always gave him controllable returns to his loyalty and strength.

The current status of the governor of the state, the earl, and Chen Kui is definitely among the top ten in the Tang King's group, and he is also loyal to the Tang King.

If you lead the state, Yizhou cannot end. Youzhou and Canghai are always separated by a layer, and the control is not at ease. If Chen Kui also commanded the military and political affairs of Haizhou, his army would be as high as one million. Over time, even if there is a long time, he would not have a different intention?

No matter how loyal the minister is, he must tie a rein to the other party, which really makes the other party unrestrained. It is not "sincerity", but harming others and oneself.

So, the governor of Haizhou fell on Zhu Biao's head, while the governor of Haizhou was Prince Chang.

After taking office as the governor for two months, Zhu Biao revived the Haizhou Water and Army.

Fortunately, the army was not bad, and the many captured Qianhaizhou troops and the Haizhou troops under Chen Kui's "anyway" were based on this, and a team of 400,000 people soon started to rise.

But the navy is in trouble.

At this time, a high-tech army cannot be pulled up immediately if there is money. It also requires shipbuilding and time.

There were originally 50,000 naval naval troops in Haizhou. When Tang Sheng guarded the East China Sea, he drew 7,000. The remaining more than 40,000 people were led by the Haizhou naval general and headed straight to the south when Zhu Biao led his troops to approach the naval headquarters.

Fortunately, a considerable number of Haizhou sailors were unwilling to leave their hometowns, so they retained some of Zhu Biao's confidence. However, the large amount of wood, tung oil, ropes and canvas accumulated by the Haizhou navy over the years were swept away, the shipyard was burned, and many craftsmen were forced to be taken on the ship.

It can be said that Haizhou's official shipbuilding industry has suffered a devastating blow. It is impossible for Zhu Biao to restore the original scale of the Haizhou Navy in the short term. The private shipbuilding industry in Haizhou is very developed and good, but there is a fundamental difference between civilian ships and warships...

So two months passed, and Zhu Biao's navy was only 20,000 strong. There was a five-toothed ship [given by the Lu Navy], two ships. Fifteen bucket ships, tower ships were the main force, and about fifty loach ships.

Loading personnel, five-tooth ship-800 people.

Trailer - 600 people.

Fighting ships, tower ships—300-500 people.

Loach boat—50-150 people.

Zhu Biao joined forces with the Lu Navy to fight, bringing out about 11,000 people. The remaining nearly half of the navy soldiers were still circling and patrolling the ports and inland rivers on boats such as the sea falcons.

Haizhou, which has not had an inland water naval lord for more than three hundred years, now it has it again.

Thirteen water inspection departments of all sizes allow Zhu Biao to control all the important water transport routes in Haizhou. For Haizhou, where water transport and sea trade is prosperous, as long as Zhu Biao controls these important water transport routes, it will be to pinch the blood supply artery of more than 50% of the powerful families in Haizhou.

There is much more to talk about tax matters in the future.

The Ming Dynasty in China on Earth, the Ming Navy Kong has been famous for 300 years and has not grasped the lifeblood of water transportation and trade. It is a pity.

Zhu Di also knew that "Seven Vacations to the West" and raised enough military expenditure for himself in the fifth attack on the grassland. However, under the pressure of the Daming civil servant group, his descendants let go of this huge amount of wealth in vain. Did those emperors surnamed Zhu really think that his ancestors asked "Zheng He to the West to the West" to waste the people's money?

Looking at the scale of Zhu Di's five attacks on the grasslands, I don't know how inferior the three major battles of Wanli were. However, the Ming Dynasty was still in operation as before, and the country's power declined suddenly. I know how much wealth it was during the period.

What Wang Zhi and Zheng Zhilong know about the great affairs of state-owned assets are completely corrupted by Ming Civil Affairs Group, especially Jiangnan Civil Affairs Group, and it also has a significant relationship with it. Wealth is handed over from the state to the literati and official group...

[One-one opinion. If you don't agree with it, hehe, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.]

The fleet was reorganized and a curved arc was drawn on the sea surface, heading towards the flank of the Zhou army's warship group. The sails were full of masts, and there were shadows on the deck, and the war was at any time.

The sound of war drums on both sides was heard, and it was heard from afar through the waves, and it continued. The war broke out at the touch!

Lu Suhai attacked, and warships sailed out one after another.

The Zhou army warships were also approaching. But obviously, the Haizhou Navy was the dominant in terms of speed.

"Salt lowering the sail!"

This is the norm for naval divisions in the inland and rivers. The left and right shield iron plates are erected on both sides of the bulkhead. Although the area is not large, it will greatly enhance the protection of the arrow rockets. It is like a battlement on the city wall.

When the sails fall, the huge hull reveals a hole in the hull and protrudes out a long oar. In battle, the wind and waves make the ship undulate and not fall off the sails. The accuracy of long-range strike methods will be greatly reduced, and the paddle handling is easier to control speed and angle than sails.

"Bed crossbow preparation!"

"Pili Car Preparation!"

"Fire bomb preparation!"

Star-spotted torches were lit on the ship, and there was one next to each crossbow and Pili chariot. Because the crossbow has fire arrows, Pili chariot has fire bombs, and even if it is close, there is a fire cabinet. For wooden warships, fire is always the most effective means of attack.

"boom……"

The Zhou army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, divided a fleet to face the attack, at least twice that of Zhu Biao's army.

The fire bombs cut through the sky, and the fire arrows passed through the wind and waves. The black smoke had not yet dissipated, and the fire arrows had already arrived in front of each other.

"Bang--"

Zhu Biao felt that the warship under his feet had a burst, and the five-toothed ship was hit by two fire arrows almost at the same time. One broke a block of iron plates, and the other plunged into the ship gang.

However, a fire bomb that poses a greater threat to the warship failed to hit. Of course, Zhu Biao's counterattack also failed to hit. He also projected a stone bomb in the bumps of the sea, and his accurate head was far worse than on land.

The fire-burning feather arrows also hit enemy ships. With additional attributes, their lethality is significantly higher than that of the Zhou army. However, compared with the huge body of the warship, this damage is obviously insufficient.

Zhu Biao was not enough. He had a thunderbolt bullet in his hand, so he was not anxious. He just waited patiently for the warships on both sides to approach-

The warships are tall and far beyond the water surface. The development of water wars for thousands of years is also an era of giant ships at sea.

One side shoots from a high place, just like shooting down from the city, safe and effective.

Therefore, real navy build giant ships, which has long become the mainstream of the times.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the Thunderbolt cart had no time to load the second round, and the crossbow was not as good as the strings to shoot the second arrow. With less than a hundred feet of time, the sailors on both sides pulled it within the range of the bow and arrow under the efforts of the sailors on both sides.

"Shoot!" The enemy ships made the order first, and suddenly, a large number of rockets drew a fire on the sea and shot down.

The sound of "cracking" is endless, and most of the arrows are intercepted by the iron plate of arrows, and a few arrows fall on people, and there is no big loss.

After all, the heights of the warships on both sides are almost the same.

Zhu Biao's warship rushed to the front, glanced at the boards, and found that the casualties were not serious. The key was that there were iron plates of arrows. Secondly, the sailors were wearing paper armor.

This is a simple body armor, made of a hard cloth, and then a paper tendon. Zhu Biao also had this thing in ancient China in his previous life.

It is mainly used for infantry in the south, and because of its light body, it is used for warship sailors and sailors. In this world, the financial resources of the imperial court are far superior to those of China in previous lives. The army's infantry armor is all made of gold and iron, and paper armor is used entirely among sailors.
