The days of tenderness are always short-lived. The next day, Qin Yun took Yang Yong, Bai Feiyang and his wife, Hong Haoxuan, Shen Wansan and others aboard the Qiongzhou.
After the war, the "old" ship Qiongzhou seemed to be covered with a layer of mysterious gauze.
As the only people in the capital who could move around freely, Shen Wansan and Hong Haoxuan wanted to throw their eyes into the chimney. He just wanted to see how many animals were smoking inside.
The ignorance of Shen Wansan and Hong Haoxuan was laughable, but Qin Yun also understood that after all, Daxia people were accustomed to a life of carriages, horses and animal power.
Even if this kind of life has lasted for thousands of years, if Qin Yun does not come, I am afraid that the people of Daxia will be forced to "open their eyes" in the near future.
It might be a good thing for them to open their eyes at this time.
Once the Industrial Revolution in the West begins, it will be a giant wheel that will crush the times, but this time, Qin Yun will be one step ahead of them in this ancient land.
The compass brought convenience to sea navigation, papermaking, and printing spread science and technology, not just literature and history. Gunpowder is no longer a firecracker that can only drive away the Nian beast, but a sword of dignity for the Daxia people!
"Boy, how much does your boat cost?" Shen Wansan was no longer polite, and the prince stopped calling.
Qin Yundao: "The material cost is not much, but to build this ship, thousands or even tens of thousands of people need to work together, not to mention other problems encountered in shipbuilding."
"To be precise, building this boat is priceless!"
Shen Wansan snorted coldly: "Don't look at me carelessly. With your little wealth, you can build three ships. Isn't that expensive?"
Han Jiangxue on the side smiled: "Master Shen, Qiongzhou's financial situation is probably much better than the treasury of the Great Xia court."
"Let's not talk about the 100 million taels of silver borrowed from Yue. This time the prince took Ryukyu and forced the Fuso people to sign the Ryukyu Treaty. Fuso paid 100 million taels of silver as compensation."
"And the prince has spent most of his money on these ships. Look at the fleet of ships going back and forth in Qiongzhou Port, carrying all the things needed for shipbuilding."
Shen Wansan's eyes were as big as an ox: "Okay, you are so rich, no wonder you are so confident."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "What does this mean? You will be richer in the future. You can keep your little water transport wealth for yourself."
Shen Wansan said seriously: "Do you really want to bring an army of 100,000 to Beijing?"
Qin Yun threw a telescope to Shen Wansan. The latter picked it up and took a closer look. There were densely packed ships in Yuntai Harbor, including not one of the three armored ships missing.
Dozens of large ships were collected, purchased, captured and refitted and set sail.
Shen Wansan's face was dark, Qin Yun was not joking!
He really wants the imperial court to fight head-on. All lives will be devastated and the world will be in chaos...
Shen Wansan's mouth showed bitterness. If His Majesty saw this scene, would he regret it?
Of course, in fact, Qin Yun will not sail all these ships to Daxia, and some large ships cannot enter the inland rivers at all.
There are 20,000 expeditionary troops in the big ships. Among these expeditionary troops, 5,000 are stationed in Ryukyu, and the rest are sent to Yue.
After all, the Yue Kingdom lost most of its country for him to conquer Ryukyu. Is Qin Yun that ungrateful person?
These ships will effectively protect Yue's coastline, blockade Wu's sphere of influence, and threaten Northern Qi.
Qin Yun always takes things one step at a time, and the commotion in Beijing this time is so big that anyone with a little brain in Northern Qi will not remain indifferent. If they really borrow the Wu ship from the sea to get around, Qin Yun will let them know. If you want to raise a horse, raise it well and don’t get involved blindly.
"Okay, send the order and the whole army sets off!"
Qin Yun waved his hand.
Yang Yong blew the naval horn, and three slightly different whistles sounded in the sky. The sailboat set sail first, followed by the steamship.
In the port, the women waved goodbye with tears in their eyes.
This scene happened only a month ago.
…
Yue Kingdom, Beiyin Mountain Fortress.
Bai Zhanpeng and Lan Tian are holding a combat meeting.
Both of them are veterans with rich battlefield experience, and beside them there are many generals of the Ji family army and generals of the Yue Kingdom.
"Old Bai, the Wu State has 200,000 troops and is preparing to cross the river. Our troops are less than 100,000, and they are still old and weak. How do you think we will fight this battle?"
Bai Zhanpeng took out the map: "Wrong, you are only talking about the two hundred thousand in the northeast. Have you forgotten that Yan, Chen and other countries have completely surrendered to Wu?"
"Today, Wu's army is at least half a million! They can attack from the northwest or even the sea from the east."
"Wu's Shenlong ship can carry two to three thousand people at a time, and according to intelligence reports, Wu's ship is also equipped with cannons."
"If we defend passively, it will be a dead end."
The Yue general on the side said: "Why hasn't the support from His Highness Prince Liang arrived yet?"
"Yes, we risked the destruction of our country to help King Liang capture Ryukyu, but King Liang ignored us. What's the point?"
Lan Tian snorted coldly: "I'm not a human being? It's not like you losers are good at fighting. In less than half a month, most of the city was lost. In Daxia, if you fight like this, you would have been killed long ago."
"Everyone is fat and strong, but they are not equipped with weapons. You have a unique geographical environment, otherwise you would have been destroyed long ago!"
The arrival of the Yue Kingdom was silent, and the Dongjun Peninsula has always been greatly influenced by the Central Plains Dynasty. In the past, Yue was still a nominal vassal state of Daxia.
It would be enough to give them some special products and pay tribute to a beautiful girl every year, but now Daxia is indifferent to them, and they can't survive with just their small number of people.
If the war continues, the younger generation of Vietnam will be wiped out.
"General Lan, we are not complaining or blaming, but there is really no other way! Now I can't beat you, and I can't shoot, what do you think I should do?"
Lan Tian muttered: "There is another way!"
Everyone was stunned: "What can we do?"
Lan Tian: "This is a tactic I have always used in the northern border. I select the best horses in the army and form a guerrilla force to attack the supply lines behind enemy lines."
"There are still people who can be sent to contact the countries that were destroyed by Wu. I don't believe it. These people are willing to be dogs for Wu. There are always benevolent people who stand up to resist. Let's give them money, give them war horses, and give them weapons." , pull up the team."
Bai Zhanpeng squinted his eyes. Wasn't this theory coming from Qin Yun?
"That's right!"
Suddenly there was business outside the account, and everyone hurriedly turned around to pay tribute.
"Meet the King of Yue!"
"Excuse me. Thank you for your hard work, generals, especially General Blue and General White. You have traveled thousands of miles to fight for my country. I am very grateful."
"The King of Yue is welcome. My king and the King of Yue have signed an offensive and defensive alliance treaty. I will not let it go. I believe we will get through it." Lantian said thoughtfully.
But before he finished speaking, the sound of drumming came from outside the hall.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Protect the King!"
Yue Qing waved his hand: "Since I am here, I am just an ordinary sergeant. You don't have to worry about me and go out to fight!"
After saying that, Yue Qing drew out the long sword that Qin Yun had given him before leaving, shook his ferret cloak on his shoulders, and rushed out.
The snow was falling heavily, and the incomplete city walls were filled with blood.
Boom~
The shouts of killing, the sound of sword fights, and the sound of artillery fire reached my ears, echoing in the snow-white valley.
"No, there is a traitor, someone opened the fortress gate!"
"The enemy rushes in, quickly, cover the king's retreat, get out!"
Lan Tian and Bai Zhanpeng secretly exclaimed that something was not right. The Beiyin Mountain Fortress was the last barrier for the Yue Kingdom. If they were to withdraw, they would have to evacuate to the sea.
But just when the war was going down, a black spot floated in the sky.
The black dot slowly floated over the enemy army, and a crazy cone-shaped shell fell from the sky.
"Boom~~"
Bombs exploded behind the enemy camp.
Lan Tian knew that these must be the prince's reinforcements.
He drew his sword and climbed up, raised his arms and shouted: "Call after me, Thunder Lord, help me, follow me to kill!"
Everyone didn't know why, but the sergeant of Wu State looked confused. Where did the thunder come from in the cold winter month.
But the cannonballs falling from the sky one after another, while reaping lives, were also shocking.
Soon Bai Zhanpeng also gritted his teeth and said: "The reinforcements are here, hurry up, pull out the last Qiongzhou cannon and blast it!"
Rumble~~
Several artillery shells fell on the attacking side, and Sergeant Wu was stunned.
Lan Tian grabbed a horse, holding a long knife, and galloped straight towards the opened fortress gate. There was a rebel general there. He rushed in front of him. The rebel general wanted to speak, but he slashed his head with the knife. Carry it in your hand.
"The rebel general is dead, why don't you turn your gun and point it at the Wu army?"
"Kill Wu Jun and get away with it!"
A group of gatekeepers were in a dilemma, but at this time another cannonball fell in the sky right at the city gate.
"kill!"
No one knew who shouted, and everyone turned around and drove Wu Jun out of the city.
Seeing that the situation was over and there were no more casualties, the Wu army ordered gold to retreat.
Not long after, the black dot fell in the sky, it was Qiongzhou's hot air balloon.
The people who control the hot air balloon are the disciples of Zhushen Villa.
After he landed, he conveyed Qin Yun's words and a letter to Yue Qing.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the King of Wu has sent a navy of fifteen thousand men, two armored ships, and as gifts: one hundred and fifty cannons, five thousand rifles, and various weapons and ammunition!"
"There is also a flying balloon to provide reconnaissance and air support."
"My king said, Qiongzhou and Yue are together!"
Yue Qing's eyes were slightly moist, and he bowed to the southwest: "Thank you, King Liang!"
All the sergeants also shouted loudly: "Thank you, King Liang!"
The sound echoed throughout the valley, even reaching the ears of the enemy general.
"Prince Liang? It's Qin Yun!"
"Could he be here?"
A man in a ghost mask in the handsome tent said solemnly.
"Big Chief, is Qin Yun really that powerful?"
The masked man smiled and said: "Liansheng taught the previous generation of great sacrifices, and the two giants of the Great Heavenly Master fell at his hands one after another. Do you think he is powerful?"
"Then I won't attack later?"
The masked man smiled and said: "Why panic, the real battlefield is not here!"
The man was puzzled: "Where is that?"
Masked man: "I'm in the capital, waiting for Qin Yun to enter the urn!"
…
At the same time, Pingjin Prefecture, the entrance to the sea from the eastern border of Daxia.
Qin Yun slowly sailed in on the Qiongzhou.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Pingjin, but there are many boats blocking the river mouth. Do you want to open fire?"
Yang Yong bowed.
Shen Wansan stood up: "Don't fight, I will negotiate!"
Qin Yun smiled: "How can I help you? Commander Hong, go ahead!"
Hong Haoxuan nodded, but took the boat away.
