The sea water is getting warmer and everything is recovering.
The warm spring breeze swept the battle flags, making a hunting sound.
Nan Yanxi stood on the bow of the ship in military uniform, followed by several generals and foreigners.
A month ago, Western Chu accepted Daxia's Situ Wen's plea and sent 80,000 Chu troops to support Daxia.
Compared with the 50,000 Yan troops sent by Great Yan, there are only 100,000 elites left in Great Xia.
The combined army of ministers and thieves was called 250,000, and they launched a decisive battle with Xiang's army in Zhongzhou.
Nan Yanxi and the others keenly felt that the time had come to take action.
Immediately, Ye Zhiyu and others, who had arrived in Beiyuan in advance, were ordered to lead an elite army of 300,000 people and attack the Eagle and Falcon Khanate directly.
The Eagle Falcon King sought peace to no avail, so he had to mobilize the whole country and force together less than 200,000 troops to fight.
The two armies fought fiercely on the border between the two countries.
On the Yuzhou side, old-school leaders such as Lu Changfeng and Gu Wenzhao are paired with new leaders such as Li Jingmo and Xiang Ninger.
Leading the newly formed Yuzhou Army of 250,000, he was on the alert.
In the battle of Zhongzhou, if the Xia, Yan and Chu allied forces were victorious, they would stand still and wait for the opportunity.
If Xiang's army wins, attack immediately and directly attack the rear of Xiang's army, and must not allow it to grow bigger.
On the South China Sea side, 80% of the elite troops, about 300,000 armed forces, and more than 400 new warships were directly dispatched.
Led by Nanhai Zhenxi King Li Qi, Li Jingmo and others, they attacked Nanzhao in a mighty manner.
The day when the dragon ascends is not far away.
At this time... Nan Yanxi was standing on the bow of the ship with a heroic appearance, dressed in military uniform.
Hanging from his waist was a long sword and the latest revolver wrapped in a cowhide sheath.
Holding a telescopic telescopic telescope, he observed the sea area ahead.
This thing was first brought by Rubink's fleet.
Nan Yanxi thinks it is very easy to use and will have a great impact on the troops' operations.
So they hired technical and engineering personnel for nothing and started manufacturing directly across the country.
Nowadays, almost every grassroots unit has several telescopes, which is not a rare thing.
Speaking of Lubink, he is basically regarded as a super VIP guest of Nanhai Kingdom.
I received a letter from him some time ago. In his family, several young people invented some mechanisms and took the lead in launching some kind of movement.
It was said that he had moved the interests of the aristocratic class and was suppressed and persecuted by the high-level officials of the empire.
The whole family has been affected by this.
Helpless, Lubink could only ask Nan Yanxi to see if they could send those young people and their families to the South China Sea for refuge.
It's also a good idea to let your family distance themselves from them.
To this, Nan Yanxi agreed without even thinking about it.
No matter what organization or movement it is, since ancient times, as long as it touches the cake of the aristocratic class, it is basically a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
A new order has been established in the Nanhai Kingdom, and the new reforms have achieved initial results. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the national tax revenue has doubled.
The court's dependence on the nobility has been reduced to a minimum.
At this time, how could Nan Yanxi let go of such a good thing that would benefit the country and the people.
He immediately wrote back and asked Rubink to bring them.
Nan Yanxi promised to build a large manor for them in Nanhai for them to live in.
As long as the movement is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, it can be vigorously promoted and supported immediately.
Today is the day the two of them agreed on.
Speaking of which, it has been almost half a year since we last met.
After Lubink went back last time, it took him more than half a year to come back. It is said that he was still hurrying and taking his time.
But this time, it was said that it would only take three months to arrive, which made Nan Yanxi confused.
Is this guy most nervous about his wings? Can he fly?
It was trustworthy and not easy to ask, so I had to be curious and rush to the agreed-upon water area early.
About half an hour later, the lookout soldier on the mast suddenly shouted: "Your Highness... coming from right ahead!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Nan Yanxi quickly raised the telescope in her hand and looked in the direction of his finger.
From a distance, I saw bursts of black smoke coming, followed by large ships, sailing towards Nan Yanxi's fleet at extremely fast speeds.
Seeing this, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking what? This fleet... is on fire?
Thinking curiously in his heart, the fleet broke through the water at an extremely fast speed and rushed over.
Only when they got closer did Nan Yanxi realize that these boats were much longer than her own.
The main thing is... there is no sail, let alone oars and oars.
Looking up, he saw that standing on the bow of the ship was none other than Rubink, who had been away for a long time.
Nan Yanxi smiled slightly, then ordered the fleet to turn around, leading Lubink's fleet towards the home port.
"Yan Xi...what is the principle of this? Why is it so strange?"
Beside her, Mo Yunxi asked curiously: "How could it run so fast without sails, oars or oars?"
Nan Yanxi on the side was also very surprised. Fortunately, there was a favorable wind today, and his warship raised its sails very quickly.
But Rubink's five or six large boats were as if they were being pushed by some big fish underwater.
There was a roaring sound, black smoke was coming from the head, and water was splashing behind the buttocks at an extremely fast speed.
It actually easily surpassed the five-sailed warship that Nan Yanxi was proud of.
Everyone on the boat was dumbfounded.
"Husband...husband...can't catch up..."
Yang Yuxuan, who was wearing navy white armor, came over and said with some embarrassment: "They... passed us."
"Ahem...this..."
Originally, the ones he led this time were all cutting-edge warships, and they were somewhat meant to show off to Rubink.
Unexpectedly, I failed to show off, but was put on a show by others.
Nan Yanxi almost died of embarrassment, so she had to order: "Quick, quick, let the manpower come in, paddle where it's time to paddle, and rock the oar where it's time to row!"
"Chasing me with all your strength! This is so fucking embarrassing!"
"yes!"
Some of his subordinates agreed, but the team tried their best and finally failed to catch up.
By the time Nan Yanxi's proud new warship arrived, Lubink had already docked and started unloading.
Nan Yanxi came over with an embarrassed look on her face, and saluted Lubink from afar: "Brother Lubink... looks like a big brother, hahaha..."
"Oh, my dear friend..." Rubink also responded with a smile and trotted over to greet him.
Pointing to the five-sailed battleship behind him, he said: "Is this your latest battleship? It's really too tall!"
"With so many gun barrels, just one salvo can sink an enemy ship, right?"
Seeing this, Nan Yanxi suddenly looked unhappy: "I said Brother Rubink...are you deliberately laughing at me?"
"This warship of yours is running so fast, as if it has been enchanted, that even we can't catch up."
"What's so amazing about this?"
"Oh... no no no..." Rubink waved his hand seriously: "Your battleship is indeed very tall."
"Our Lanhe Empire's navy is only half as big as yours. How can I not be shocked?"
After speaking, he pointed to his warship: "This is only available in my own fleet."
"It was invented by a few young people under my command, and it's called the steam engine!"
"What? An upbeat chicken?"
Everyone in Nan Yanxi said in unison and showed puzzled expressions.
At the subsequent banquet, Nan Yanxi remained unyielding and asked Lubink about the matter.
Helpless, Rubink could only call one of the young representatives over.
"Your Highness, this young man is the leader in developing all this."
"Let her answer it for you now!"
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi raised her eyes and saw that the so-called young man turned out to be a blond girl with blue eyes.
Speaking of which, this was Nan Yanxi's first time seeing a foreign girl.
If you look closely, you will see that this girl is unusually beautiful, with big eyes and a high bridge of nose.
The golden, middle-parted short hair reveals competence and flexibility.
The facial features and temperament are completely different from those of Orientals, which gives Nan Yanxi a strange sense of beauty.
I saw the girl bowing gracefully to Nan Yanxi.
Speaking in an oriental dialect that was not very fluent, he said: "Dear Your Highness, please accept my blessing."
"Thank you for taking us in!"
Seeing this, Nan Yanxi smiled and waved her hand, motioning for her to stand up.
He smiled and said, "Girl, you are so polite. I don't know what your surname is!"
"Your Highness, my name is Tina!"
"Oh...Tina..." Nan Yanxi smiled and said, "Excuse me, what exactly is that upbeat chicken?"
"Why can a huge warship fly like the wind without sails?"
