"Kong Ming, do you know where the black oil they used came from? Is it still available on Zhoushan Island now?"
Hear the sound.
Zhuge Liang spread out the topography map in his hand, pointed at Wuming Island and Tainan Island, and said: "Your Majesty, I have confirmed from Okamoto that all the black oil comes from Wuming Island."
"Originally, Hirakawa Ji had the method to extract and extract black oil, but now that the man is dead, he needs to think of new ways to extract and extract black oil."
The method of extracting oil, Emperor Chu had the exquisite technology that would be available thousands of years later. As for the method in Hirakawa's mind, he was obviously very disdainful. Even if a heinous person had precious things, he could not exchange for his life.
"Kong Ming, you don't have to worry about how to extract black oil, I have my own method!"
"Zilong, what was the result of our army in this battle?"
"In this battle, our army killed 15,000 enemy soldiers, captured more than 10,000 people, and rescued 1,000 captive women."
"The victory of this battle must be attributed to all the generals. This is just the first battle into the East China Sea. From now on, this vast and boundless sea will become the territory of Wu Chu."
"All the generals have worked hard today. Go back and rest early. Tomorrow, you will travel around Zhoushan Island with me. Then we will see if we can build this place into a sea city."
Emperor Chu's majestic voice sounded, and his approving eyes passed over the generals and glanced at Zhuge Liang.
The generals bowed and saluted, stood up and walked out of the hall. Emperor Chu called Zhuge Liang to stop and asked: "Kong Ming, there is black oil on Wuming Island and Tainan Island. Why did the Fuso Empire army not enter? Is there anything else involved?"
What’s the mystery?”
"Your Majesty, the ministers are interrogating the prisoners. The ministers around Hirakawa Ji mentioned that before we went to the island, the envoys of the Fuso Empire had just left. They came here to obtain the black oil mining method in the hands of Hirakawa Ji."
"Obviously, the Fuso Empire knows about the existence of black oil. They should have known about the black oil on Wuming Island and Tainan Island. Wei Chen thought that troops should be stationed on the two islands immediately."
"But............."
"Is Kong Ming worried that our army is weak and unable to complete the defense of Wuming Island and Tainan Island?"
Emperor Chu was full of confidence, obviously not worried about the issue of military strength, and his calm voice sounded.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Our army only has more than 20,000 troops. If we want to guard three islands, we may not be able to take care of it."
Regarding Zhuge Liang's concerns, Emperor Chu did not say much and raised his hand to point directly at the location of the unnamed island on the geographical map.
"Kong Ming, the Wuming Island is the most valuable of the three islands. Zhoushan Island is just a worthless island. There are hundreds of them in the East China Sea. Why do I want to store a large number of soldiers here?"
"At dawn tomorrow, the warships will leave in two groups. Gongjin, Ran Min, Fengxian, and Yuanba will take the lead to guard the Wuming Island. You, Yuan Jing, and Yunchang will return to Yongjiang in a dragon boat and five black wings to mobilize.
Armor."
Emperor Chu was ambitious and his rich voice sounded, but Zhuge Liang frowned and looked worried.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not!"
"If Kong Ming has anything to say, it's okay to say it. I will never blame you!"
Zhuge Liang fluttered his sleeves, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, I feel that now is not the best time to march into the East China Sea."
"My Chu cavalry and infantry have millions of soldiers. They are invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. But the navy only has 50,000 people. The Fusang Empire and the Soochow Empire have all lived in the East China Sea for a long time. The naval force is probably dozens of times that of our Chu state. Plus
Bandits are rampant on the islands in the East China Sea, and it is too risky for our army to march into the East China Sea now."
"Then according to Kong Ming's intention, is to abandon Wuming Island and Tainan Island?"
Emperor Chu looked at Zhuge Liang with a displeased look on his face, and saw Zhuge Liang gently nodding.
"Your Majesty, the situation on the battlefield is changing like clouds. My Chu has been in war for a long time, and its national strength is weak. Although it has unified the south of the East China Sea, its foundation is not stable. There is the Mongol Empire in the northern desert that has just lost. Fusang, the old enemy in the East China Sea, is even more eyeing. It is our right to recuperate now.
Chu’s best way to develop.”
"The short-term giving up and waiting is just to ride the wind and waves in the future!"
Zhuge Liang's expression was firm, his sonorous voice sounded, and he was not afraid of the power of Emperor Chu at all. Emperor Chu's expression was calm, he nodded gently, turned around and walked towards the wooden chair beside him.
"Kong Ming's words are like thunder and startling dreams. It's because I'm a little eager for quick success and don't think carefully enough."
"The three armies will rest on Zhoushan Island tonight and set sail back to Yongjiang City tomorrow!"
Hear the sound.
Zhuge Liang's brows stretched, and his tense aura disappeared instantly. He knew that Emperor Chu was not a mediocre emperor who could not listen to loyal advice. As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Although Emperor Chu was not an unprincipled emperor, Zhuge Liang was still afraid of offending the power of the emperor.
"Kong Ming, go down and rest early after a long day's work!"
After Zhuge Liang turned around and left, Emperor Chu stood up and walked out of the hall alone, walking on Zhoushan Island under the moonlight.
The darkness is crushing down from the sky, the vast and boundless sea is sparkling, the sea wind is roaring by, and the waves are lapping on the coast.
Under the bright moonlight, Emperor Chu's clothes were flying, looking at the sea, and walking along the coastline against the wind.
Except for the hundreds of pavilions built in the Pingchuan period, the rest of Zhoushan Island is full of dense forests of ancient trees. They look like dormant beasts under the dark night sky, ferocious and terrifying, exuding a cold and icy atmosphere.
As Emperor Chu walked on the beach, the sea water kept lapping gently. Emperor Chu couldn't help but think of the scene where he and his friends went to the beach for a bonfire before traveling through time.
Immediately.
I stopped, fell down on the beach, looked up at the sky and the stars, and let the breeze blow on my face, feeling comfortable and carefree, as if all my worries were gone with the wind.
Zhuge Liang's words made him think deeply. It was indeed not easy for Chu State to go through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to get to where it is today. It was time to take a good rest.
Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, it was the life he longed for most. In the next year, he planned to build a palace in Yongjiang City and vigorously train navy soldiers.
"Woo~"
"Woo~"
Two strange voices came, and Emperor Chu woke up from his deep thoughts. His figure suddenly rose and he looked back behind him.
A pair of blue eyes stared at him in the darkness, but Emperor Chu did not feel the slightest hint of danger. He stood upright and looked at the black shadow in front of him with the help of the weak moonlight.
"Woo~"
"Woo~"
The black shadow in front of him did not attack him, but it yelled at him repeatedly. Emperor Chu moved forward and finally saw the true face of the black shadow. It turned out to be a seriously injured mutated fish-man, but at this time, he had
All the abnormalities have disappeared and he looks no different from a normal person.
Emperor Chu strode forward, Tai'a unsheathed himself, pointed directly at the seriously injured fish man in front of him, and looked at him with a vigilant expression. He saw the man struggling to straighten up, and a rusty iron box appeared in his hand.
"You want me to let you live?"
I don't know what the man meant, but Emperor Chu's sword opened the iron box in the man's hand. In an instant, a red light shot up into the sky and hit the sky. The sea surface turned red instantly, and the rolling waves were like splashing blood. (To be continued.)
