Chapter 317 Form an alliance and arrive at Blackfish Island
On the Donghai Navy's flagship.
Yuwen Chengdu and several others gathered in the cabin.
"According to the information provided by Luo Wang, the base of the Blackfish pirates is Heiyu Island. Heiyu Island is located in the western part of the Beichen Sea. It is 2,300 miles away from our Dali. It is estimated that it will take ten days to sail to the area around Heiyu Island."
"Heiyu Island is surrounded by reefs. There is only a man-made waterway in the south that can accommodate large ships. If we want to attack Heiyu Island, the warship must stop ten miles away from Heiyu Island and then board a small boat to the island!"
In the cabin, a military aircraft staff officer introduced the situation on Blackfish Island.
After Yuwen Chengdu listened, he asked: "What is the military situation on Heiyu Island?"
The staff officer said: "The Blackfish pirates have a total of more than 50,000 pirates. These pirates are good and bad, and their discipline is extremely poor. However, they have extremely rich naval combat experience."
"There should be about forty cultivators above the Xiantian realm, and five strong ones at the Jingzhao realm."
"The first one is the Blackfish King, the leader of the Blackfish Pirates. He is in the late stage of Jizhao Realm and at the third level of the Divine Realm. It is said that he once faced two strong men of the same realm who jointly attacked him without losing."
"The second one is the Captain of the Black Fish Pirates, Wind Swordsman Cheng Xian. This person is good at the Blade Intent of the Wind Illusion. His cultivation is in the late stage of the Silent Light Realm, and he is on the second level of the Divine Intention Realm. He is the most trusted confidant of the Black Fish King."
"The third one is Xia Shanhai. It is said that this person has the power to shake the sea. He can set off huge waves with just a few movements of his hands and feet. His cultivation level is in the middle stage of Jingzhao Realm and the second level of Divine Intention Realm."
"The fourth one is Hu Nu. He is in the early stage of Jizhao Realm and is at the first level of Divine Intention Realm. The person who fought with Huang Gongfeng before was this person. He has a violent personality and likes to fight. He is a martial arts lunatic."
"The fifth one is Ji He. He is in the early stage of Jizhao Realm and has not yet entered the Divine Realm. This person broke through to the Jizhao Realm ten years ago and has not yet understood the Divine Realm."
"The information Luowen gave us is somewhat general, and there may be errors and omissions in it, but generally speaking, it shouldn't be too different."
The staff officer said cautiously.
At present, Luowang's intelligence power has penetrated into the Blackfish pirates, and the information obtained comes from rumors on the sea. Some of the rumors may have been from a few years ago, and may have changed now.
Situ Changkong asked: "They are all on Blackfish Island!"
"Not necessarily. Blackfish Island is just the residence of Blackfish King. Blackfish pirates are divided into four brigades. Each brigades have their own islands. Their islands are all around Blackfish Island." The staff officer said.
"Can we defeat them one by one?" Situ Changkong asked thoughtfully.
The staff officer shook his head slightly, "It's difficult, we can't be sure whether they have a communication array!"
Situ Changkong was startled, then smiled bitterly.
Communication array!
He has never been exposed to this thing, so he ignores its existence when thinking about things.
This should be the flaw of Dali. The thinking of many officials in the Dali court still stays in the spiritual wasteland. They do not fully understand many things in the Qiongtian Sea area, and they will follow their previous thinking when considering problems.
Situ Changkong took a step back and stopped talking. Although he was the Minister of Military and Aircraft and one of the people with the highest official position here, but for things like this that he didn't understand, he felt that it was better for him to say less.
Compared with his understanding of naval warfare, he was far inferior to Lu Zhiqing and the staff officers of the Military Aircraft Staff Department.
The Military Aircraft Staff Department is the most important staff organization of the Military Aircraft Department. Normally, the Military Aircraft Staff Department does not participate in the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department. Their only mission is to study wars that may happen or may face in Dali.
In wartime, they will become the general's staff and make suggestions for the general, but the final decision-making power still lies in the hands of the general.
This time in the expedition to Heiyu Island, there was only one general, and that was Lu Zhiqing.
Whether it is Yuwen Chengdu or Situ Changkong, they are not the main generals.
Yuwen Chengdu looked at Lu Zhiqing and said, "General Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Zhiqing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Sir, our mission this time is to destroy Blackfish Island. And the key to destroying Blackfish Island is to capture the Blackfish King."
"So the general thinks we can close the door and beat the dogs!"
"Close the door and beat the dog!" Yuwen Chengdu was slightly surprised.
Lu Zhiqing nodded and said: "Yes, Blackfish Island is surrounded by rocks, and the only exit is to the south. That means we only need to block the south, so they can't escape!"
"What if they escape in a small boat?" Yuwen Chengdu asked.
"The Black Fish King will not escape in a small boat!" Lu Zhiqing said.
Yuwen Chengdu suddenly realized that this was indeed true.
The Black Fish King is the leader of the Black Fish Pirates. If he runs away, the hearts of the Black Fish Pirates will also be scattered.
So he will never run away unless absolutely necessary.
As for whether the other minions can escape or not, it doesn't actually matter.
"We will attack Blackfish Island directly through the southern waterway, and then invite a few worshipers to enter the island to capture the Blackfish King! If the four brigades of Blackfish pirates come to support us, we will repel them on the sea."
"If they don't support us, we'll wait until we deal with Blackfish Island and then encircle and suppress them one by one."
Lu Zhiqing revealed his plan.
Yuwen Chengdu and Situ Changkong looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Then follow General Lu's plan!"
"General, take your orders!" Lu Zhiqing responded with cupped hands.
The battle plan has been decided, and the next step is to see if they can successfully reach Heiyu Island, and whether they can block the exit of Heiyu Island before Heiyu Island can react.
…
Inside Dali Imperial City.
Qin Wei didn't pay attention to the Donghai Navy's expedition. This time he sent out so many tributes and Dali's most elite navy. If the Blackfish pirates still can't be eliminated, Dali will still be honest in the future.
Just huddle up on the four islands.
In a battle that must be won, there is no need for Qin Wei to waste too much time.
At this time, he was paying attention to the affairs of the Hundred Stars Dynasty. The delegation of the Hundred Stars Dynasty had been staying in Dali Kyoto for more than half a month, and it was time for Dali to show an attitude.
In the imperial study room of Shengtian Palace.
Qin Wei frowned slightly as he looked at the information sent by Zhao Gao.
It is not a secret that the Giant Spirit Dynasty suppressed the Hundred Stars Dynasty. Both within the Hundred Stars Dynasty and other forces around the Hundred Stars Dynasty knew about it.
Many forces have even received warnings from the Giant Spirit Dynasty before.
A behemoth like the Giant Spirit Dynasty, in order to suppress the Hundred Stars Dynasty, did not hesitate to put down its pride and warn the small forces around the Hundred Stars Dynasty. This simply regarded the Hundred Stars Dynasty as a thorn in its side.
"What suggestions do you have?" Qin Wei raised his head and looked at Di Renjie and others in front of him and asked.
The situation before him made him feel a little embarrassed.
Forming an alliance with the Hundred Stars Dynasty will definitely gain a lot of benefits in a short period of time, and it will also have a very good effect on Dali's recent development.
But once the Giant Spirit Dynasty has objections, Dali will have to face pressure from the Giant Spirit Dynasty. Perhaps Dali can destroy the alliance with the Hundred Stars Dynasty by then, but this will somewhat affect Dali's image in the outside world.
It is not advisable to go back on one's word. Regardless of a person or a force, reputation is extremely important.
Once all parties have the impression that Dali is not trustworthy, it will be basically impossible for Dali to find allies in the future.
Di Renjie and several other cabinet ministers fell into deep thought.
They also felt very embarrassed about this.
In the long run, it is not appropriate for Dali to form an alliance with the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
But the current benefits are too tempting, and it would be a pity to give up.
"Your Majesty, why didn't the Giant Spirit Dynasty directly attack the Hundred Stars Dynasty?" Di Renjie suddenly asked.
Qin Wei's expression moved slightly, "It should be beyond our reach!"
The Giant Spirit Dynasty's method of suppressing the Hundred Stars Dynasty mainly focused on sea trade and forcing other forces to isolate the Hundred Stars Dynasty. This method should be the most labor-saving method.
Because the Giant Spirit Dynasty does not need to destroy the Hundred Stars Dynasty, it only needs to restrict the development of the Hundred Stars Dynasty. Over time, the Hundred Stars Dynasty will inevitably decline.
But this also exposed a problem, that is, the Giant Spirit Dynasty was unable to attack the Hundred Stars Dynasty. If they could easily defeat the Hundred Stars Dynasty, there would be no need to cause so many things.
Long-term suppression is also risky. Other surrounding forces will be dissatisfied with the Giant Spirit Dynasty. Once the Hundred Stars Dynasty seizes the opportunity to break through the Giant Spirit Dynasty's suppression, the Giant Spirit Dynasty will lose more than it gains.
Therefore, if the Giant Spirit Dynasty can easily defeat the Hundred Stars Dynasty, it will never tolerate the Hundred Stars Dynasty any longer.
Perhaps the Giant Spirit Dynasty was much more powerful than the Hundred Stars Dynasty, but it was not so powerful that it could crush the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
"Can the Giant Spirit Dynasty directly attack our Dali?" Di Renjie asked again.
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Haha~~"
"If they want to attack us, they must attack the Hundred Stars Dynasty first!"
The Giant Spirit Dynasty is in the southeast, and the Hundred Stars Dynasty is also located in the southeast. If the Giant Spirit Dynasty wants to attack Dali, how can it bypass the Hundred Stars Dynasty?
With the Hundred Stars Dynasty standing in front of them, what do they, Dali, have to fear!
Thinking of this, Qin Wei suddenly became enlightened.
"But what if the Giant Spirit Dynasty also uses restrictions on sea trade to suppress us?" Fu Chengyi suddenly said.
But as soon as he said these words, everyone showed a faint smile to him.
Fu Chengyi looked at everyone's smiles and was slightly startled. Then he suddenly realized and said with a sly smile: "I am worrying too much!"
The Djinn Dynasty is so powerful that many forces have to be in awe of it.
However, power has its limitations. The power of the Giant Spirit Dynasty over the Yuluo Sea is already very weak, let alone the waters further north of the Yuluo Sea.
Such as the spiritual sea.
Although Dali belongs to the Yuluo Sea Area, it is close to the Spiritual Sea Area. In fact, Dali's trade with forces in the Spiritual Sea Area is more convenient than the trade with the Hundred Stars Dynasty.
In the future, Dali's main trade direction will definitely focus on the Yuluo Sea, the Spiritual Sea and Qingling Island. In addition to Qingling Island, Dali is really not afraid of the suppression of maritime trade in the Giant Spirit Sea.
Qin Wei smiled and said: "Then form an alliance with the Hundred Stars Dynasty!"
"Please make preparations. We will also send a delegation to the Hundred Stars Dynasty."
"Here!" Di Renjie and other cabinet ministers responded.
Qin Wei thought for a while and then said: "When the envoy comes back from the Hundred Stars Dynasty, he will visit other forces in the Yuluo Sea area."
"We in Dali are a peace-loving dynasty. We will not bully the weak, nor will we expand wantonly. If possible, I hope that Dali can trade peacefully with all forces!"
Qin Wei said without blushing and without a beating heart.
Peace loving!
That's natural!
At present, the four islands of Dali have just experienced a great turmoil. They are in a period when people's livelihood is difficult and all industries are waiting for prosperity. They urgently need time to recuperate, so now Qin Wei is an extremely peaceful person.
As long as other forces don't provoke Dali, Qin Wei will never take the initiative to provoke disputes.
But when Dali's national power increases, it will be different.
There are still countless people living in dire straits in the Yuluo Sea area. Qin Wei will definitely think that Dali has the responsibility and obligation to rescue those suffering people.
…
In the Honglu Temple Hall.
Su Bai received the official document from the Ministry of Rites. Looking at the contents of the official document, Su Bai couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"They agreed!"
Victoria Song couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Agreed!"
Su Bai nodded.
"Great!" Song Qian said with some surprise.
Dali is willing to form an alliance with the Hundred Stars Dynasty, which is a good thing for them and the entire Hundred Stars Dynasty.
They promoted this alliance, which was regarded as a contribution to the dynasty.
With Dali as an ally, the Hundred Stars Dynasty can gain a lot of benefits in a short period of time.
However, Su Bai was still a little worried and said: "I'm afraid that Dali will go back on his words in the future!"
He thought that Dali still didn't know the relationship between the Giant Spirit Dynasty and the Hundred Stars Dynasty, so he agreed to this alliance.
If Dali waits until he understands the relationship, Dali may go back on his word and destroy the alliance between the two countries.
When Song Qian heard this, her expression froze with surprise, "Probably not!"
Su Bai frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't worry about it now. It's enough as long as Dali agrees to form an alliance. As for the future, we'll talk about it later."
"You first take people back to report this matter to His Majesty. Dali will send an envoy to my court in a while. I will go back with Dali's envoy at that time."
Song Qian's expression became serious and she said, "Okay, I'll go back right now."
…
While Dali Chaotang was busy sending envoys to the Hundred Stars Dynasty, Donghai Navy also arrived in the northeastern part of Yuluo Sea.
A fleet of more than 500 warships sailing on the sea naturally cannot hide from the forces along the way. When these warships flying the triangular dragon battle flag sailed through the sea, the forces along the way were shocked.
Horror and panic.
Forces large and small were watching the fleet vigilantly while asking around about the origin and purpose of the fleet.
For a time, the entire northern part of Yuluo Sea was plunged into turmoil.
However, the Donghai Navy did not stop along the way. They had already brought enough supplies when they set off, and they did not need to resupply along the way.
In order to prevent the news from reaching the ears of the Blackfish pirates in advance, the Donghai Navy sailed at almost the fastest speed.
As the Donghai Navy gets closer and closer to the Beichen Sea, the soldiers can clearly feel the getting lower and lower temperatures.
By the time they entered the Beichen Sea, the temperature had already reached zero degrees. Ice crystals could be seen on every island they encountered, and they even encountered many icebergs floating on the sea.
Fortunately, they don't need to go too deep into the Beichen Sea, otherwise Dali's soldiers may not be able to adapt to the climate of the Beichen Sea.
Entering the Beichen Sea Area means that the Donghai Navy is less than a hundred miles away from Heiyu Island. It only takes half a day for them to reach Heiyu Island.
