Wuchao Lake Governor's Mansion.
Xiong Liangxiao had a puzzled expression on his face and asked, "What is the imperial court's request? I haven't heard of any other requests from the imperial court."
"Of course the imperial court has requirements. This is not an extra step, but a normal procedure. Your water stronghold now belongs to the imperial court. If nothing else, you must at least tell the court the location of the water stronghold, the specific defense situation, and the water The court must be told how many people there are in the village and how much food is needed." Luo Xingchen said slowly.
Xiong Liangxiao frowned immediately. He came here unwillingly, so how could he tell this.
"We came here because the village owner wrote a letter saying to go ashore to get food. As for the situation in the village, we have to ask the elders in the village for instructions. I don't have the right." Xiong Liangxiao did not directly say no, but shied away from the village. The elder in.
However, Xiong Liangxiao's unwillingness was already obvious.
"Since you don't have the right, just rest here for one night and send someone back to ask if it's okay."
Luo Xingchen waved his hand and stood up, not wanting to say anything more to Xiong Liangxiao.
…
After arranging a place to live, Song Chen said unhappily: "Boss Xiao, they are deliberately trying to show off. The village leader is also serious. He actually trusts people from the imperial court..."
"Yes, the people in the imperial court are not good people. This admiral is so young. He is obviously here because of his connections. What ability can he have? I heard that this admiral is the son of the general who protects the country. He is here. They are just going through the motions, and they only have 200 people under their command, and they only have three small ships at most. Is this also called the Imperial Navy? It’s really ridiculous.” Jiang An also echoed.
"I think the nearby Zhanlong Village is much stronger than this so-called naval force. I'm not sure whether it will be the one in Daqi in the future." Song Chen said.
"You two, be careful what you say and stop talking." Xiong Liangxiao glared at the two of them unhappily.
Then, he pondered for a while and said: "Jiang An, I will write a letter and you can bring it back to the water village. We will not make up our minds about this matter and let the elders worry about it."
"Okay, Boss Xiao, I'll go back right now," Jiang An said.
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's getting late now, and it's not safe to go back because of the strong waves."
After Xiong Liangxiao said something, he lowered his voice and said: "You two, you must be careful not to talk nonsense. This is not a water village."
Song Chen and Jiang An looked at each other, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss Xiao, we won't talk anymore."
"That's good. Let's all go back to our rooms and have a rest early. No matter what, we have to find a way to transport food back this time, otherwise the water village will be in crisis." Xiong Liangxiao sighed.
…
In a quiet room, the incense burner is lit and the aroma is lingering.
Luo Xingchen was sitting at the desk, holding a pen in his hand and practicing calligraphy one word at a time.
Although he has become an admiral of the navy, he has not delayed his studies now. After all, he is still young, only over eleven years old. Even though he is a genius, he still has not stopped studying.
Live and learn, this is what his mother taught him.
My mother told a story, called the story of Shang Zhongyong. It tells the story of a genius who was pushed out of his talent, put aside his studies, and finally disappeared from everyone.
Therefore, he did not dare to let himself slack off.
Practicing martial arts and literature every day, being self-disciplined and not lazy. There was also an old master who followed him to the garrison, and the one who taught martial arts was Fengsheng.
After writing a copybook, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Luo Xingchen raised his eyes and said.
Fengsheng was the one who opened the door and walked in. He didn't bring a sword this time, and his expression was a bit grim.
"What's going on?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"I have heard clearly that these people from the water village, Xiong Liangxiao and others, do not want to surrender to the imperial court. The fundamental reason is that in addition to not trusting the imperial court enough, they also underestimate our power." Fengsheng said slowly.
"In their words, that Zhanlong Village is actually stronger than us." Fengsheng sneered.
"Zhanlongzhai is nothing. We are the captain of the ship. That's because the big ship is being built in a secret port. No one knows about it except us. The craftsmen recruited can only enter and cannot get out. Zhongqin Bo Lu Tao will be here soon." Guiding shipbuilding, our ship will be more powerful by then."
Luo Xingchen continued: "Even if we don't use new warships, our current ships are equipped with enough firearms, and the forged cannons are enough to destroy ordinary ships."
"Admiral, it seems that in order to get them to abandon their illusions and convince them, we must first defeat the Dragon Warrior Stronghold," Fengsheng said.
"Have you investigated the situation in Zhanlong Village clearly?"
"That's about it. This time I'm here to deliver relevant information about Zhanlong Village. Admiral, you decide what to do this time."
"Let me check the information first."
Luo Xingchen got the information compiled by Fengsheng. In fact, there was not much information about Zhanlong Village. There were only a few pages, which was roughly the origin of the village.
Sure enough, this Zhanlong Village was caused by the chaos in the capital a few years ago. Some gangsters fled into Wuchao Lake and lurked on a nearby island, becoming Zhanlong Village.
There are currently more than a dozen boats in Zhanlong Village, and the leader of the village is called Lu Zhanlong. He built this village with his own hands.
Lu Zhanlong was a real desperado. He led many bandits to attack passing merchant ships in the waters, and accumulated a lot of wealth. In order for some merchant ships to cross safely, they had to pay protection fees to them, so as to ensure safety.
"Although there are more than a dozen boats and more than 300 bandits in this Zhanlong Village, they have not been systematically trained, let alone equipped with firecrackers and cannons. They cannot be our opponents... This time, our gang has The Chaohu navy came to them to practice. As the saying goes, you can train for a thousand days and use your troops for a while, so you can just pull them out to practice." Luo Xingchen stood up. He had made up his mind to destroy Zhanlong Village to intimidate Wuchao Lake and Cai Zihu. The large and small water villages in there.
The strength of Wangjia Water Village is not weak. If they cannot prove their overwhelming force, it will be difficult to convince them.
"Okay, I'll go and let them start preparing for battle. They can enter combat status at any time." Fengsheng also stood up.
"Okay, we'll go out tomorrow. Can we get ready tonight?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Since Zhanlong Village needs to be solved as quickly as possible, it’s time to do so without further delay.
"When I'm ready, I'm going to go out in person tomorrow, the navy's first battle, and I want to see the effect with my own eyes." Luo Xingchen looked excited.
He had been holding back his anger for a long time since he led his fleet at sea and was surrounded by Yajili's fleet. This time he took the opportunity to vent his anger on Zhanlong Village.
