Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 324 Zhou Jianbo's Thoughts (Fourth Change)
This time the expedition was not announced to the world, and it was decided to set off the next day, all the way down the river, logically the news should not have reached here so quickly.

But this Zhou Jianbo knew about it, and led his army to wait here, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he knew it in advance.

Zhou Jianbo saw Li Changfeng's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, you sent people to the Japanese pirates to ask for debts and passed through this place, and the last general knew about it. Later, when your people returned, they rested here and learned that the Japanese pirates deliberately reneged on their debts. The last general knew that with your highness's temper, you would definitely go to the battle in person, so he waited here."

After listening to his explanation, Li Changfeng was astonished.

Talent!

Definitely a talent!
He didn't have any contacts with Zhou Jianbo, so he was able to analyze these things from the clues, which can be said to be extremely intelligent.

Li Changfeng couldn't help admiring: "General Zhou's thoughtfulness is simply breathtaking!"

Zhou Jianbo bowed humbly: "His Royal Highness is absurd. The last general just hates the Japanese pirates. After learning that you have built an iron-clad warship, you have been looking forward to conquering the Japanese pirates one day, so you have been paying attention to this matter!"

What he said was true.

But there was one more thing he didn't say.

After such a long period of observation, he has secretly come to the conclusion that Li Changfeng will definitely inherit the great line in the future and become the future emperor of Daqian.

He has great ambitions, but he has lived in the South China Sea for a long time and has no chance to display them. Therefore, he always wants to make a good impression on Li Changfeng early, so that he will have the opportunity to make contributions in the future.

His goal was achieved, and Li Changfeng admired him very much.

"You have a heart."

Naturally, Zhou Jianbo would not miss this opportunity, and hastily cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to do my best!"

Li Changfeng shook his head: "This time, my prince... well, I'm going to ask for debts, not to go out to fight. I don't have any plans to mobilize the local garrison, and my father didn't give me such power."

"what?"

Zhou Jianbo froze for a moment, glanced at the soldiers in their early thousand years behind Li Changfeng, and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, did you bring the artillery, musket, and grenade?"

"Smart." Li Changfeng smiled, "Not only that, but he also brought a hot air balloon."

Zhou Jianbo was stunned, nodded and said: "If that's the case, as long as you don't land and fight, the iron armored warship is enough to crush the Japanese pirates, and you don't need the assistance of the general."

"Yes."

Li Changfeng nodded, appreciating Zhou Jianbo even more, every word he said hit the point.

"Then I wish Your Highness the best of luck!"

Zhou Jianbo cupped his hands and bowed to Li Changfeng, his eyes were full of regret.

With a thought in his mind, Li Changfeng suddenly smiled and said, "Father did not give this prince the right to mobilize the army, but it is not a problem for this prince to find a few people who are familiar with naval warfare and the Dagan sea area to go with the ship."

Zhou Jianbo was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to pay homage: "Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince!"

"Okay, get up, and bring some of your more clever men under your command, and go out with this prince."

After speaking, Li Changfeng left for the armored warship.

Zhou Jianbo kowtowed seriously towards his back.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He understood that Li Changfeng was cultivating him.

Judging from the current rapid development of Daqian, sooner or later a powerful navy will be established.

This navy is bound to be equipped with powerful weapons such as artillery, and Li Changfeng perfectly proved this today.

If he goes out with Li Changfeng, he will definitely become the general who is most familiar with the application of iron-clad warships and artillery in naval battles. In the future, when the navy is established, he will definitely be reused.

So this time he performed well enough, as long as Li Changfeng said a word in front of Emperor Ganwu, it is not impossible for him to directly become the commander of the navy.

He was right.

Li Changfeng did think so.

Ocean trade is an important part of his business plan, and it cannot be done without a strong sea power.

He even thought about starting the real era of great voyages, colonizing other backward countries in the world, and continuously transfusing blood for Daqian.

Just like some countries in the previous life, they let their people live a life of high welfare.

After boarding the iron-clad warship, Li Changfeng inspected it carefully inside and out. Although the details are much worse than what he had imagined, it is not bad to be able to reach such a level in this world.

Then I tried the power again, which was enough to beat the mainstream sailing boats in the world.

Li Jianye got busy, running ammunition and installing artillery.

The soldiers under Zhou Jianbo's command helped to prepare fresh water and other necessary supplies for survival.

Only Li Changfeng didn't have to do anything. Under the amazed and envious eyes of everyone, he brought Chunni to the deck and looked at the sea.

"It looks spectacular, doesn't it?"

"Ah."

Chunni nodded, looking a little excited.

Li Changfeng laughed a little and said: "When you leave the coast completely and look around at the endless sea, it will have more visual impact."

Chunni didn't speak, but there was a look of expectation in her eyes.

"By the way, you haven't eaten seafood, have you?"

"seafood?"

Chunni turned her head around with a puzzled look on her face.

Li Changfeng was full of anticipation: "That is, I haven't eaten it before. After I go to sea, I will let you eat as much as you want. It is a very unique taste."

He secretly planned in his heart, in order to make Hudilao more competitive, he planned to set up a seafood hot pot.

People in this world, even those who live by the sea, don't eat much seafood, nor are they good at it.

The Dagan coastline is so vast and the seafood is so rich, it would be a waste not to use it.

He planned to go back to Beijing to talk to Emperor Ganwu about lifting the sea ban after scaring the Japanese pirates this time, and to develop the fishing industry, which would not only provide an additional source of food, but also allow the coastal people to have more income.

Prepared for the day.

On the second day, with the sound of the siren, five steel behemoths set sail and headed in the direction of the Japanese pirates.

……

Chito Ito is the naval admiral of the Japanese pirate country, commanding a navy of [-] Japanese pirates, and has a pivotal position in the Japanese pirate country.

Now the Japanese pirates are invading Goryeo, and all the army was sent there by warships under his command, and the plundered resources were also transported from Goryeo to the Japanese pirates by him.

After plucking the geese, Ito Chito did not take advantage of it, and his life was so comfortable.

On this day, another batch of gold, silver and jewels looted from Koryo was loaded onto his warship and was about to be transported to the Japanese pirates.

As usual, Ito Qiantang boarded the ship to check, and took the opportunity to search for benefits.

Just when he was proud of getting a fist-sized ruby, his subordinates suddenly let out exclamations.

"My God, what is that?!"

"Is it a boat? How could there be such a big boat?!"

"That speed is too fast!"

"No, those five boats rushed towards us!"

"..."

"idiot!"

Ito Qiantang was furious, pulled out his whip and turned around to punish the yelling subordinates, but was stunned by the warship in the distance.

"Nani!?"
