Steel Dynasty - Chapter 286

[Chapter 286 Righteousness]

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

Meng Youliang’s information made everyone silent for a while.

Finally Yue Yun broke the silence, “Your Highness, Meng Youliang is treacherous. His words cannot be believed. Maybe he just wanted to survive and deliberately took out this useless thing to deceive Your Highness.”

“Yue Yun, you are simply confused. Do you know what I am hiding behind? “

Wasn’t that the place where Ichiro Yamada discovered it? That’s the cellar of your home. It was your mother who hid me after learning the importance of this information.” Meng Youliang shouted.

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

“Impossible, my mother will not save such a wolf-hearted thing like you.” Yue Yun suddenly became furious.

Xiao Ming was also dubious at this time. He said: “Meng Youliang, I can’t believe you now. I can only take you into custody now. I will release you after confirming the information on this scroll. Ye Qing, escort Meng Youliang to Qingzhou Prison and wait. I will handle it.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Ye Qing bowed.

Putting away Meng Youliang’s scroll, Xiao Ming looked at Yutai Village, which was like a hell on earth, and said, “Yue Yun, let’s bury the people in the village first. If Meng Youliang really joins the Japanese pirates, I will leave him to you.”

Yue Yun .

Yun nodded at this time, looked at his dead mother, and shed tears again.

Xiao Ming felt heavy, and he asked Ye Qing’s Dengzhou Army to help Yue Yun bury the villagers of Yutai Village.

And he walked aside and pondered. According to the historical data in the science and technology library, the Wanli Korean War occurred between the Japanese country and the Ming Dynasty.

Although the current situation is different, it is generally similar, that is, the Japanese country now has internal problems and urgently needs expansion to alleviate domestic conflicts.

Basically, every time there was a problem within the Japanese country, the conflict would be transferred to another country, and this other country would always be the Central Plains Dynasty.

This plan detailed the Japanese shipbuilding plan. This plan would take three years to implement. After three years, the Japanese would have enough ships to transport 200,000 troops to Dengzhou to seize the land of Dayu.

As Meng Youliang said, the Japanese kingdom seems to have just completed its unification, but the daimyo are dissatisfied with the land distribution and want to obtain more land.

This spearhead naturally points to the Chongqing Kingdom, which is now basically torn apart.

Regarding the northern barbarians, the Japanese state was very aware of its own differences and was unwilling to provoke them. Moreover, the scroll also revealed that the Japanese state had sent envoys to Goryeo and had contact with the barbarians in Goryeo.

What he doesn’t know now is whether this attack plan is Japan’s own idea or a dirty political deal between the barbarians and Japan.

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

Taking charge of history, island countries occupy natural geographical advantages. They always focus on their navy and can attack other countries with ease, while other mainland countries are unable to attack island countries because of their weak navies.

In modern history, only the Yuan Dynasty tried to cross the sea to attack the Japanese state, but was ultimately defeated by the sea.

It is precisely because of this unique advantage that the island nation gradually became the dominant player in history during the Age of Discovery. In modern times, the United States still enjoys convenience by relying on its unique geographical conditions.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming’s view, the only way to crush the will of the island country is to have the ability to attack its homeland. Otherwise, the island country will always stand behind the mainland countries and poke chrysanthemums in their backs.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming had to increase investment in the navy while defending against the barbarians in the north. These were two strategies. Perhaps three years later, he would even have to face two fronts.

After the corpses of the villagers in Yutai Village were collected, Yue Yun buried the corpses of the whole village at the seaside. For them, they were born in the sea, and they will also face the sea when they die.

The death of their loved ones made the seafarers in Yutai Village feel depressed for a long time, but at this time, they felt more hatred in their hearts.

In order to calm down the emotions of these sailors, he planned to let Yue Yun rest for a month before going to sea.

“No need, Your Highness, we can leave now.”

After burying his mother and repairing it for half a month, Yue Yun rejected Xiao Ming’s proposal.

“Can you really go to sea now?” Xiao Ming was a little worried. He was afraid that Yue Yun would be impulsive and drive three Galen ships to the Japanese country.

Although the firepower of these three Galen ships is very fierce, they can be easily captured by small ships using wolf pack tactics.

“Your Highness, Yue Yun understands the importance. If you want to take revenge, you cannot rely on the bravery of a few people. Only when Your Highness becomes stronger can we have a chance to take revenge. We will sail according to the plan, bring back crops such as potatoes and corn for His Highness, and collect intelligence. “Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming felt relieved, Yue Yuneng could really put the righteousness in front of him if he thought like this.

He said: “Okay, I did not misjudge you. From the time you risked your life to sell private salt for the people in the village, I know that you are a righteous person. The things I promised you will not change.”

Yue Yun nodded and said, “The general will recall the sailors right away and prepare to go to sea.”

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

Coming out of the cabin, Yue Yun went ashore and began to greet the sailors to board the ship. This time Xiao Ming would not continue the voyage with them, and they had to walk the rest of the way on their own.

The sailors returned to the ship one by one. At this time, Yue Yun faced Xiao Ming, put his right hand on his chest, and shouted: “My glory is loyalty!”

“My glory is loyalty!”

the sailors shouted in unison.

Xiao Ming also put his hand on his chest. At this time, the sail fell and the three Galen ships anchored and 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 Galen ships gradually disappear on the horizon, Xiao Ming turned and left.

In Dengzhou City, Ye Qing was already escorting Meng Youliang, waiting for Xiao Ming to return to Qingzhou together.

The reason why he kept Meng Youliang was to distinguish whether the news was true or false, and to obtain the current information of the Japanese country. Only by knowing one’s enemies and one’s own friends can one be victorious in every battle.

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

At this time, the snow in Qingzhou had melted and the temperature was gradually rising, allowing Ye Qing to take Meng Youliang to Qingzhou Prison. Xiao Ming returned to the palace with exhaustion all over his body.

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

Qian Dafu was a little excited today. Before Xiao Ming could ask, Qian Dafu said: “Your Highness, I have been waiting for you to come back these two days. The tungsten mine has been found.”
