The cold sea breeze blew on everyone with a salty and wet smell.

Meng Youliang's intelligence kept everyone silent for a while.

In the end, Yue Yun broke the silence, "Your Highness, Meng Youliang is betrayal, he cannot believe his words. Maybe he deliberately took out this ruthless thing to deceive Your Highness just for his own life."

"Yue Yun, you are simply confused. Do you know where I was hiding so that I was not discovered by Yamada Ichiro? That is your cellar. It was your mother who hid me when she learned the importance of this information." Meng Youliang shouted.

The two Dengzhou soldiers nodded, "Your Highness, we found him in the cellar."

"Impossible, my mother won't save you, a heartless thing." Yue Yun suddenly became furious.

Xiao Ming was also half-believing and half-doubted at this time. He said, "Meng Youliang, I can't believe you now. Now I can only take you in custody. I will return you to your freedom after confirming the news on this scroll. Ye Qing, escort Meng Youliang to Qingzhou prison, waiting for this king to deal with it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Qing bowed.

Putting away Meng Youliang's paper roll, Xiao Ming looked at Yutai Village, which was like hell on earth and said, "Yue Yun, let's bury the people in the village first. If Meng Youliang really surrenders to the Japanese pirates, I will leave him to you."

Yue Yun nodded at this time, looked at his dead mother, and tears flowed out again.

Xiao Ming was in a heavy mood. At this time, he asked Ye Qing's Dengzhou army to help Yue Yun bury the villagers of Yutai Village together.

He went aside and pondered. According to the historical data of the science and technology library, the Wanli Korean War broke out between Japan and the Ming Dynasty.

Although the situation is different now, it is generally similar, that is, there are problems within Japan now and it is urgent to use expansion to alleviate domestic conflicts.

Basically, every time there is a problem in Japan, the conflict will be transferred to other countries, and this other country is always the Central Plains dynasty.

This plan describes the shipbuilding plan of Japan in detail. This plan takes three years to implement. After three years, Japan will have enough ships to transport 200,000 troops to Dengzhou to seize the land of the Dayu Kingdom.

As Meng Youliang said, Japan seems to have just completed unification, but Daming wants to obtain more land because of its dissatisfaction with land distribution.

This spearhead naturally points to the Dayu Kingdom, which is now basically in a split state.

The Japanese were also very aware of their weight and were unwilling to provoke them. The paper also revealed in the book that Japan had sent envoys to Goryeo and had contact with the barbarians in Goryeo.

What he didn't know now was whether this offensive plan was the Japanese's own idea or the dirty deal between the barbarians and Japan.

But no matter what, Xiao Ming is facing a problem now, that is, in three years, he must have enough warships to eliminate the Japanese fleet at sea, and even have the ability to attack the Japanese mainland.

Taking into account history, island countries have a natural geographical advantage. They always focus on the navy and attack other countries with ease, while other mainland countries cannot attack island countries because of their weakness.

In modern history, the Yuan Dynasty only tried to cross the sea to attack Japan, but was eventually defeated by the ocean.

It is precisely because of this unique advantage that island countries have gradually become the dominant history in the Age of Discovery. In modern times, America still relies on its unique geographical conditions to enjoy convenience.

So in Xiao Ming's view, the only way to smash the will of the island country is to have the ability to attack its local area. Otherwise, the island country will always stand behind the mainland countries and poke chrysanthemums.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming had to increase his investment in the navy while defending the barbarians in the north. These are two strategies. Perhaps in three years, he will even face two fronts.

The bodies of the villagers in Yutai Village were collected, and Yue Yun buried the bodies of the whole village by the sea. For them, they were born as the sea and died, and they also had to face the sea.

The death of relatives made the seafarers in Yutai Village depressed for a long time, but at this time they felt more hatred.

In order to calm down these seamen, he prepared to let Yue Yun take a month off before going out to sea.

"No need, Your Highness, we can set out now."

After burying his mother, after half a month of repair, Yue Yun rejected Xiao Ming's proposal.

"Can you really go out to sea now?" Xiao Ming was a little worried. What he was afraid of was that Yue Yun drove three Garen ships to Japan when he was impulsive.

Although the firepower of these three Garen ships is very strong, they can easily be captured as long as they are adopted by small ships with wolves tactics.

"Your Highness, Yue Yun can tell the difference between importance and you cannot rely on the courage of a few people to take revenge. Only when your Highness is strong can we have the opportunity to take revenge. We will sail according to the plan, bring back potatoes, corn and other crops to Your Highness, and collect information." Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming felt relieved. Yue Yun could really put justice in front of him if he thought so.

He said, "Okay, I have read that wrong. Since you risked your life to sell private salt for the people in the village, I know that you are a righteous person, and what I promised you will not change."

Yue Yun nodded and said, "I will recall the seafarers and prepare to go to sea."

The cabin was a little dark, and Yue Yun and others had been living on the boat during this period.

After coming out of the cabin, Yue Yun got on the shore and began to call the seafarers to board the ship. This time, Xiao Ming would not continue his voyage with them anymore, and they would have to walk the remaining road by themselves.

The seamen returned to the boat one by one. At this time, Yue Yun put his right hand on his chest and shouted: "My glory is loyalty!"

“My glory is loyalty!”

The seamen shouted in unison.

Xiao Ming also put his hand on his chest. At this time, the sails fell and three Garen ships set sail in the sea breeze.

At this moment, Xiao Ming prayed in his heart, hoping that Yue Yun and others could return safely.

Watching the three Garen ships gradually disappear on the sea level, Xiao Ming turned around and left.

In Dengzhou City, Ye Qing had already escorted Meng Youliang and waited for Xiao Ming to return to Qingzhou together.

The reason why he kept Meng Youliang was to distinguish the authenticity of the news, and the other was to get the information from Japan now, and to know his enemies and be close to him, he could win every battle.

Three days later, Xiao Ming and his group returned to Qingzhou.

At this time, the snow in Qingzhou had melted and the temperature gradually increased, allowing Ye Qing to ban Meng Youliang into the Qingzhou prison. With exhaustion, Xiao Ming returned to the royal palace.

At this time, a figure suddenly ran from the palace to the front of the door, but Qian Dafu was there.

Qian Dafu was a little excited today. Before Xiao Ming asked, Qian Dafu said, "Your Highness, I have been waiting for you to come back these two days, and the tungsten mine has been settled."
