Steel Dynasty - Chapter 452

[Chapter 452 Goryeo Navy]

The elegant house is surrounded by vermilion corridors.

In the middle of the house is a pool of clear water, in which groups of carp swim leisurely.

Looking at the joyful Yue Yun, Xiao Ming nodded slightly. He wanted to establish the Marine Corps not on a whim, but to prepare to embark on the road of competing for colonies with the West.

From the 15th to the 16th century, Western countries established specially trained landing combat forces just to expand overseas. In the mid-17th century, Britain established a naval infantry regiment.

After that, Tsarist Russia, Portugal, France, Spain, etc. successively established marine regiments or marines. It was by using the method of landing marines to fight that they occupied a large number of colonies.

Now Xiao Ming wanted to build an army that could go with the navy to fight everywhere. He said to Yue Yun: “But going out to fight is extremely difficult. You have to select a group of soldiers who are willing to go out to fight. These soldiers must have the fanaticism and absoluteness of pirates. “Loyalty.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Yue Yun said seriously.

After talking about this, he explained to Yue Yun how to take over Ryukyu in detail. In order to control the shipping route, he must send a fleet to station in Ryukyu. Without force, merchant ships would not be safe.

After receiving Xiao Ming’s order, Yue Yun happily returned to the military port. Only then did Fei Yue’er come out of the cabin.

“Your Highness, this house is quite exquisite.” Fei Yue’er looked down at the swarms of carps swimming in the water. “I think the previous owner of this house was also a wealthy person.”

“You are right in your guess. This house once belonged to a wealthy family in Dengzhou. The Su family participated in the rebellion two years ago. The main criminal was beheaded and the followers were exiled. This house became idle. Yang Chengye felt it was a pity and chose this place as the king’s residence. “

“So that’s the case, so is my concubine. I know a little bit about the rebellion of the six states’ wealthy clans, which was defeated by His Highness. “Fei Yue’er said, “Nowadays, the wealthy clans in Da Yu are very powerful, and it must have been extremely dangerous at that time. It was also very wise and courageous for Your Highness to fight against the wealthy clans of the six states on his own.

” Looking at what happened two years ago, Xiao Ming sighed slightly, “I had no choice but to do so at that time, and the power of the wealthy families in my fiefdom was already weak. Only in this way can I successfully eradicate all the wealthy families. If not, my fiefdom would not be there now.” It will develop so smoothly.”

“Your Highness is right. Although I am a weak woman, I have read some history books. The rise and fall in history are often caused by the division of land by wealthy families and the people have no land to cultivate.” Fei Yue’er said lightly.

Xiao Ming smiled. He didn’t have the idea in ancient times that a woman’s lack of talent was a virtue. For him, a virtuous wife with both good character and learning was much better than an illiterate woman who only knew about the family’s shortcomings.

He said: “What you see is far-reaching, but now the country of Chongqing is extremely ill. The powerful families are like possessed maggots, making the country of Chongqing a hell on earth. The rebellion of King Qinglong may have been secretly instigated by the King of Chu. But the real reason is that the people can no longer survive. Now it is impossible to change things without a bloody storm.”

Fei Yue’er sighed, she only thought of this incident because of this house.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was a little heavy on this topic, she immediately changed the subject and said, “Has the negotiation between His Highness and the Dutch concluded?”

“The negotiation has been completed. Ryukyu will be ours from now on.” Xiao Ming laughed.

Fei Yue’er also laughed, happy that Xiao Ming had achieved his wish, and then she said: “Your Highness, since the negotiation is so smooth, what are we going to do in Dengzhou next?”

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming said: “My king I’m going to take you to the sea.”

“The sea?” Fei Yue’er suddenly became excited. She had only heard about the majesty of the sea when she lived in Chang’an for a long time, but she had never seen the true face of the sea.

Speaking of this, the two of them immediately started talking more. Xiao Ming carefully talked to Fei Yue’er about the beauty of the ocean.

Under the influence of technological crystals, beautiful pictures appeared in Fei Yue’er’s mind. Xiao Ming took the opportunity to talk to Fei Yue’er about the creatures in the sea, which made Fei Yue’er sometimes surprised, sometimes expecting, and sometimes afraid.

Now that the negotiations have been concluded, Xiao Ming naturally has no more government affairs that he is eager to reach. He came to Dengzhou this time partly for negotiation, and also for the purpose of inspecting the implementation of Dengzhou’s coastal defense, marine fishing and salt fields in the past few months.

After resting in the camp overnight, Xiao Ming took Fei Yue’er to the military port the next day. Yesterday, he and Yue Yun talked about today’s voyage.

“Your Highness, Princess, please!”

Yue Yun respectfully invited Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er to board the King Qi. He had been preparing for this since returning yesterday.

The two boarded the deck, and then Xiao Ming asked: “Are there any fishing boats going out to sea today? I would like to taste the seafood.”

Hearing this, Yue Yun laughed loudly, and he said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, Nowadays, fishing boats go out to sea for fishing every day, and it is the same today. The general is going to take His Highness and Princess out to sea with the fishing boat today, so that he can eat seafood on the boat at any time. “

“Excellent,”

Xiao Ming said happily .

, the natural environment in this era has basically not been damaged, especially at sea. Xiao Ming is really looking forward to tasting pure natural delicacies.

Everything was ready. The King of Qi sailed out of the military port at the sound of the sailing bell. The King of Qi was followed by five warships. This was prepared by Yue Yun in order to protect Xiao Ming. This time Xiao Ming went to sea with the princess and he was also very capable. pressure.

In front of the battleship were five large fishing boats converted from merchant ships. These large fishing boats were manned by fishermen recruited by Dengzhou. In order to allow the fishing boats to play their fishing role as quickly as possible, Yang Chengye recruited experienced fishermen.

These fishermen have extensive experience in sea fishing and know the distribution of fish in each area of the sea.

“Your Highness, since these fishermen used trawl nets, they can bring back a whole boatful of fish every time they go to sea. Now these fishermen have great admiration for Your Highness.”

Today is to go out to sea for fun, and Yue Yun is in a more relaxed mood. Chatting with Xiao Ming.

“Really? This will put me at ease. Dengzhou’s fishery seems to be fine.” Xiao Ming laughed.

Fei Yue’er on the side didn’t seem to hear the conversation between Xiao Ming and Yue Yun, but was concentrating on admiring the blue sea, looking up from time to time at the seagulls hovering over the battleship.

And the dolphins that soared into the sky from time to time in the blue ocean made Fei Yue’er’s eyes widen.

Starting from the military port, the fishing boats sailed northward. According to Yue Yun, the abalone in the north of Changdao was very delicious, and they went to the north of Changdao to catch abalone.

Xiao Ming is not familiar with Changdao at all. This is the small island in the north of Dengzhou.

After sailing on the sea for half an hour, an island gradually appeared in front of everyone. Seeing this island, everyone became excited.

But when the fleet was about to go around the island and continue northward, six warships suddenly appeared at the turning point of the island.

“Goryeo Navy!”

Yue Yun’s expression suddenly turned cold.
