Chapter two thousand one hundred and eighty exploration tasks
The little princess asked about the situation of the navy. The meaning was actually very clear. Since it was the pirates who were blocking the trade route, then just destroy the pirates. If the Persians did not want to completely turn their backs and stop all trade, even if the court destroyed the Persian pirates, they would
I can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
The Commander of the Navy in Dengzhou was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the renovation of Navy warships has just been completed, with only six ships belonging to several different fleets, and the application of new weapons also requires soldiers to relearn
, currently only the soldiers of these six battleships have completed the preliminary training!"
As soon as these words came out, Wan Huojing, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately said: "Persian pirates mainly operate in the Persian waters, which is the territory of the Persians. It is too dangerous to have only six warships!"
"Could it be that the navy cannot fight without new warships? The navy's original warships are still in an advantageous position against the Persians. Could it be that the original warships cannot participate in the battle?" Among the civil servants, one person immediately stood up.
Come and say.
As soon as these words came out, the Dengzhou navy commander and the military minister Wan Huojing were embarrassed. Seeing this situation, Zeng Yi stood up and said: "Although the new weapons are powerful, they are not without their shortcomings. If a group of pirates expose them
The new weapons are indeed too low-cost. But behind the Persian pirates is the Persian Empire, and its warships are also very advanced. The navy is likely to suffer some casualties in long-distance overseas operations. If the Persians intervene, it will be very troublesome."
"Then what should we do? Sir Ni, do you mean not to use force?"
Zeng Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, this matter cannot be solved without the use of force. But this force does not need to be used with all strength. It only needs to eliminate some Persian pirates?"
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Zeng Yi.
"Actually, it only takes the navy to dispatch some of the previous warships. There is no need to annihilate all the pirates. The Persian pirates are so powerful that it is unrealistic to annihilate them all in a short time."
"But if they are not all annihilated, the Persian pirates will soon reappear. Even if their strength is damaged, they will still pose a threat to the trade routes."
"My lords, of course I know this situation, but what if the merchant ships are also armed?"
Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, everyone reacted, "You mean armed merchant ships?" Everyone frowned. The Central Plains court had always been wary of merchants. After all, merchants pursued profit and even betrayed the country for profit.
For ordinary things, the court was very cautious about arming merchant ships.
Zeng Yi quickly shook his head: "My lords, you have misunderstood. I meant the Jianghu forces!"
At this time, everyone realized that Zeng Yi was talking about players. The imperial court had just opened a first-class warship, and it was a modified first-class warship. Its strength was no worse than that of Persian pirates. If these people participated in the trade, their strength would be weakened.
Persian pirates will also lose their role.
In fact, players have been trading, but they are only ordinary items, such as tea, silk, porcelain, and other good things that are monopolized by the imperial court. Players have not been able to come into contact with them before. After hearing Zeng Yi's opinion, everyone started talking.
After discussing for a while, everyone in the court felt that the warships were open to players, and the trade goods were harmless. Opening them to players would not only increase the court's income, but also allow players to invade the Persian waters, which would be extremely profitable for the court.
There is no harm, so what reason does the court have to refuse?
However, Zeng Yi also reminded: "The premise is that the imperial navy can weaken the strength of the Persian pirates. According to the currently known information, the Persian pirates are not weak. Even if they have lost several warships, their strength is still not something that players can handle.
, so whether this plan can go smoothly depends on whether the navy can successfully weaken the strength of the Persian pirates!"
After saying that, Zeng Yi looked at the Navy Commander, who immediately said: "If we just weaken the strength of the Persian pirates, the Navy will have no problem at all! But we need to know the pirates' lair!"
In fact, Zeng Yi already knew where the pirates' lair was through those pirates, but knowing it and going there were two different things. In order to avoid any accidents, the navy had to send people to investigate before taking action.
Zeng Yi couldn't avoid such a thing even if he wanted to, so the imperial court directly handed over the task to the Jin Yiwei. A group of masters from the Jin Yiwei were all involved, but in the end the matter still fell on Zeng Yi.
Selecting a group of top-notch masters from Jinyiwei, Zeng Yi and the Commander of the Navy of Dengzhou hurried back to Dengzhou.
The three bosses were almost speechless when they knew that Zeng Yi had taken on another unprofitable person, "Second brother, can you not accept this kind of task that requires a lot of effort and little profit?"
"You guys know nothing. Such tasks are good tasks for improving political performance. Although there is no profit at the time, this is all credit. The long-term benefits are very good."
"Forget it, I've already answered it, let me think about what to do, right?"
The four of them discussed for a while, and then the fourth and third sons said: "How about just driving the Jiaolong to kill them? Anyway, we are just exploring the situation of some pirates' lairs?"
"Kill them directly? Are you trying to scare them away? Are you afraid that the Persians won't know or something?"
"You can't go by warship, whether it's the Jiaolong or a navy warship!"
