Cheng Mu frowned and said, "You just got this news?"
He had been waiting by the lake for several hours, just waiting for such a small piece of news?
"Lord! I have other gains!"
Zhang Shun came over as if he was taking credit and took out two drawings from his arms.
Special ships*sand ships
Special war ship*Fu ship
"Sand ship? Fortune ship?"
Cheng Mu was finally satisfied.
Sand boats are flat-bottomed boats that can prevent ships from running aground in sandy areas.
Whether it is used for military landing on shoals or civilian used to transport supplies.
Sand boats are really versatile.
As for Fu Chuan, this is a sea fortress larger than a building boat.
The main ship for ocean voyages, plus the protection of its own Mazu.
Cheng Mu felt that he would be able to go for a wave on the sea soon.
But for now, of course, these bandits must be interrogated again.
How could Cheng Mu not know Zheng Yisao's name?
The leader of the Red Flag Gang continued to roam the southeastern coast for more than ten years after her husband's death, and the government army and the Portuguese army at that time were retreating steadily.
Listed as one of the top ten pirates in the world.
Being chased by Zheng Yisao, Cheng Mu could only lament that these water bandits were lucky.
Through subsequent interrogation, Cheng Mu learned a shocking secret.
The river connects Kunming Pool and the sea.
And the sea has no borders!
The current empires near the sea include the Shenzhou Kingdom, the Ming Empire, the Han Empire, the Tang Empire, and the Qing Empire.
In other words, as long as Cheng Mu has the strength, he can reach these countries through the ocean before the national war begins.
"How terrifying is this?"
Cheng Mu suddenly felt worried.
Compared with the Shenzhou Kingdom, the navies of several other empires are all well-known.
just in case......
Cheng Mu shook his head and asked again: "Besides Zheng Yisao, are there any pirates on the sea?"
"Sir, there are some."
The water bandit hurriedly replied: "There are also Sun En, Zheng Zhilong, Wang Zhi and others."
Then he emphasized: "Anyway, there are many, many."
"Zheng Zhilong?"
Cheng Mu frowned again when he heard this, this was another big shot.
He asked: "How is the situation at sea currently?"
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.
"chaos!"
"Everyone wants to unify the ocean, but everyone is unconvinced, and no one can defeat the other."
"Now they are all annexing smaller forces, and our Water Snake Gang is being targeted by Zheng Yisao."
He said everything he could say.
What cannot be said has been said.
Now, it depends on what Cheng Mu means.
"Well! You go down first!"
Now that he had gotten the news he wanted, he decided to spare his life.
However, only a dozen of the three thousand water bandits surrendered, and Cheng Mu had to admire the courage of these water bandits.
"Lord! Let's go and destroy the pirates on Kunming Lake!"
Zhang Shun took the initiative to ask for help.
From the interrogation just now, he learned that this pirate force only has about 5,000 people, which is not the main force of Zheng Yisao.
More importantly, there is a building boat inside.
"Don't worry, lure them here first!"
In water warfare, ships are very important.
Even though the Tianlong Army is stronger than the pirates, not even a single stern boat has been repaired in the dock.
For several days, the passenger ship Cheng Mu was going to take was being built.
How can we take the initiative when there is no battlefield?
Zhang Shun couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly walked out: "Lord, I'll hurry up Yang Sihai and the others!"
The few red horses and galloping ships harvested during the annihilation of Water Snake Village were far from enough.
But since all the pirates on the sea are now competing for supremacy, Cheng Mu shouldn't be so anxious.
If they all go inland, how can they be called pirates?
at the same time.
The emperor has not yet received the news from Mr. Qi.
But he is still angry now.
"Are you pigs? There are five big ships! You just let them in!"
Apparently, he had also received news that pirates had come inland along the river.
Although Tiandu was a long way from Dajiang, he could not guarantee that pirates would not be interested in him as the emperor.
"Your Majesty, our ship can't catch up!"
A minister knelt down and explained.
The ships of the Shenzhou Kingdom are all old and broken ships, which cannot be compared with the pirates' new warships.
"If you can't catch them on the water, then chase them on land! You must find out where these ships have gone!"
The emperor feels that everything is not going well this year.
The war in the North has just been resolved, but there is still no news on Cheng Mu's side.
Now, there are actually pirates getting involved.
The minister immediately reported: "Your Majesty, those pirates have entered Kunming Lake!"
"Kunming Lake? Qingzhou?"
The emperor's expression became even colder and he roared: "Are those pirates looking for Cheng Mu?"
He heard that Cheng Mu's power was established near Kunming Lake.
"Wei...Wei Chen doesn't know."
The minister hesitated and did not dare to make a conclusion.
"snort!"
The emperor snorted coldly, and then said: "Have Mr. Qi and Hao Tianyang come back? How come there is no news at all?"
He couldn't wait any longer.
The minister replied: "Not yet, but it will be soon. Mr. Qi has already crossed the border of Qingzhou."
"That's pretty much it!"
Although the emperor didn't understand why Mr. Qi didn't fly back directly.
But since we are on our way back, that's a good thing.
After all, Mr. Qi's departure made him feel very insecure.
Then, the emperor asked again: "Has anything important happened recently?"
As the emperor, he did not personally correct the excerpts.
Most of them are reviewed by a few ministers below, and finally those that cannot be decided are reported to the emperor for a decision.
The minister took out the fold from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, there are a few things that you need to decide on."
"explain!"
The emperor was a little impatient.
I just asked a few questions casually, why are there really any discounts?
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Mr. Lin from the South, hoping that your Majesty will send troops to support us!"
The emperor's face darkened and he said, "Next one."
He didn't answer because he didn't want to send troops.
The minister did not dare to say anything more and continued to take out the second foldout from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, there is news from Sizhou Mu that Cao Cao has occupied most of the land in Sizhou. I hope you will send troops to support!"
"I'm supporting you ass!"
The emperor cursed loudly and roared: "Where is Lin Tianbiao? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
As soon as I hear reports from ministers, there is no good news.
"On... on the way."
The minister still wanted to speak, but Lin Chengzi suddenly interrupted him.
Lin Chengzi took the words and said: "Back to Your Majesty, General Lin said that the military pay is not enough, so he begged Your Majesty to allocate the first half of the salary to appease the morale of the military."
This sentence can only be said by him. If it were other ministers who said it, they would definitely be beheaded.
"Pay money, pay money, pay money, why do you keep urging me for pay money every day?"
The emperor was completely impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Let yourself find a way. If you need to farm, you can farm."
Farming allows soldiers to transform into common people and become self-sufficient.
"I obey the decree."
Lin Chengzi accepted the order, but still sighed in his heart.
Since this is the emperor's order, he cannot change it.
"Troubled times are coming!"
Lin Chengzi sighed.
As the prime minister, any major events that happened in the entire Shenzhou Kingdom would pass through his hands before deciding whether to present them to the emperor or not.
He already knew what happened in Tianqi City.
But he was waiting, waiting for Mr. Qi to come back and tell the emperor in person.
"Cheng Mu, Cheng Mu, what kind of person are you?"
Yazhu told him in front of him that Cheng Mu was vulgar and vulgar and was a rough country man.
However, Lin Chengzi felt: "Can the rough people in the countryside win the support of the people and unite the people's hearts? Can they make the emperor sleep poorly?"
