People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 298 The navy reaches Annan Kingdom! The giant ship was so frightening that the people of Annan trembled!

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment when he heard Lan Yu's words.

Lan Yu saw Xia Yuanji's face and asked, "Brother Xia, why do you think it's inappropriate?"

Xia Yuanji said nothing.

Instead, he pondered for a while.

This is impossible.

Lan Yu thought to herself: It is said that Xia Yuanji and Duke Qian have the best relationship.

They are still close friends of life and death, why does Xia Yuanji seem a little unhappy now!

Lan Yu asked tentatively: "Brother Xia, what you mean is that you disagree. I also feel that some innocent people may be hurt, but I feel that I have not expressed my sympathy for Nanyang.

I don’t know if this is correct or not? "

Xia Yuanji said: "Commander, I didn't say anything bad!"

Lan Yu was overjoyed: "Brother Xia, let me tell you that you are not an indecisive person."

Xia Yuanji said: "Brother Zhinian's method is correct, but I still feel it is a bit unrefined."

Lan Yu asked: "Why is it so rough?"

“It would be a pity if the pirates were just used as thugs and then destroyed once.

Have you ever thought about it, if you catch a group of people and kill a group of people, will it have a more deterrent effect? It is good enough for our generation of literati to keep the Ming Dynasty safe, but we have no such obligation to the countries in Southeast Asia.

When the time comes, let the pirates burn and kill the towns in various countries in Southeast Asia. The Ming Dynasty Navy's magic soldiers descend from the sky and destroy them. Not only the countries in Southeast Asia must see it, but also the captured pirates must see how powerful we are!

The pirates can take advantage of us only after they know how powerful we are. "

After listening to Xia Yuanji's words, Lan Yu was really in a daze for a while.

He originally thought that Chen Han's side would be enough damage.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanji suffered even more losses.

It makes sense that they would be friends.

Not hearing Lan Yu speak, Xia Yuanji was in a daze: "Why does the commander sympathize with the people of Nanyang?"

Lan Yu was stunned on the spot, looking at Xia Yuanji who was sitting opposite him.

He thought that the hearts of these scholars might be softer than those of military generals.

But now when I looked at Xia Yuan Gui, I realized that I was wrong.

These are people who do big things and will never be indecisive.

Especially people like Xia Yuanji, who followed Chen Hancheng's reforms, understand it even more.

Reform means climbing up by stepping on countless corpses.

So there are not so many women chirping, so-called sympathy.

Especially for people from various countries in Southeast Asia.

Lan Yu was stunned for a while before smiling: "I thought at first that you would object to such a method, but I didn't expect that you would exceed my expectations."

After Lan Yu said this, she heard Xia Yuanji laugh loudly, "It seems that the commander-in-chief still doesn't understand. Let me tell you this. If I were really the kind of indecisive person, I wouldn't stand on my side." On the road to reform.

Brother Zhinian and I really understand what reform means.

It means that an unknown number of people’s heads will fall to the ground.

It means that countless people will live a different life from now on.

The reason why we need to change it is because there are too many things that are unsatisfactory.

The reason for the change is because only a few people can benefit.

And their reform is to turn only a few people from being able to profit to being able to benefit from the majority.

But these few people have already obtained benefits, so how can they be willing to take it out?

The game in this process will naturally involve life and death.

Xia Yuanji already understood this.

So it is impossible to be merciful.

Lan Yu looked at Xia Yuanji and came to her senses: "No, no, since you have already planned, okay, I know it in my heart.

Okay, I will take your advice and capture those pirates first, and then keep some of them for release.

I finally understood why Duke Qianguo said he wanted to keep some pirates. Keep these pirates to do something.

Keeping these pirates can support the pirates' self-respect and deter the countries in Southeast Asia.

By keeping these pirates, we can still do some things that our Ming Dynasty cannot do. "

Xia Yuanji nodded. He had heard about Chen Han's plan to colonize Nanyang, so he naturally understood what was going on.

That night Lan Yu interrogated the pirates.

I explained some issues to them.

They were also asked whether the pirates had any hiding places other than their lairs along the Strait of Malacca.

Just like Xia Yuanji said, these pirates now heard that the 20,000 pirate army led by Chen Zuyi had been destroyed.

I will definitely try to hide later.

They may even kill each other.

After all, there is a lot of treasure left in their lair.

It is estimated that these pirates have been divided into several factions now.

After questioning the pirate captives, the pirates also answered honestly.

It is said that if the big boss, Chen Zuyi, really dies, it will definitely be divided into many gangs as they expected.

Gangs will definitely fight over the treasure.

As for where they will hide, you have to go there in person to know.

After Lan Yu heard the news, he prepared a lot of food and put it on his supply ship on the third day.

Then take Ma He and Zhang Fu directly to Nanyang.

His first stop was to Annan.

The diplomatic envoys on board the ship spoke the languages ​​of Annan, Zhancheng, Zhenwa and other countries. Lan Yu wanted to explore the way first this time.

Now that they all know that Ming's navy is extremely powerful, they should all take a look at how powerful Ming's navy is now.

There were no books all the way, Lan Yushuai led the Ming Dynasty navy, blowing the north wind, all the way south.

It took less than ten days to reach Annan Kingdom.

After stopping at the port of Annan Kingdom, the emperor of Annan Kingdom, Hu Jishen, sent an envoy to greet him at the port in person.

In the past, merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty would occasionally dock at the pier, which aroused the curiosity of many people in Aneng Kingdom.

But most of them were envoys from their Annan Kingdom, setting out from the port to the Ming Dynasty's port.

So this time, in turn, the Annan envoy was shocked when he received the Ming envoy.

Because after they arrived at the pier, they could see other people's naval warships docked on the sea from seven to eight hundred meters away, standing like hills.

The black muzzle above, the caliber of each cannon is larger than a human head, Lan Yu is waiting at the port.

Hu Ji Ya knew the rules, and the one he sent was their prime minister.

When the Prime Minister of Annan State, along with his subordinates and envoys of Annan State, saw the giant navy ship of the Ming Dynasty, they were stunned on the spot.

Officials from the Ming Navy translated for them.

"The main battleships of our navy that you see are sixty-seven meters long and more than four feet high. They are covered with a circle of iron sheets.

This circle of iron sheet is not made of pig iron, but of hundred-refined steel.

I believe that hundred-refined steel is very expensive anywhere. Even a piece of thumb-sized steel can be worth one or two taels of silver.

But you have to think about the size of the outer layer of a huge warship of ours, and how many hundreds of steel it takes to create the covering.

The defense of Baili Steel is so strong that even if it is bombarded by artillery, not to mention bows and arrows, there will be no damage.

Chen Zuyi's main battleship was smashed into pieces by our giant ship like an egg against a rock! "
