Chapter 2177 Exploration Mission
The little princess asked about the situation of the navy, but the meaning was very clear. Since the pirates hindered the trade route, it was enough to destroy the pirates. If the Persians did not want to turn their backs completely and stop all trade, even if the court destroyed the Persian pirates, they would I can only suffer from this dumb loss.

The governor of the Dengzhou Navy was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the navy warships have just completed the transformation of only six ships, and they belong to several different fleets, and the application of new weapons also requires soldiers to relearn. At present, only the soldiers of these six warships have completed the initial training!"

As soon as these words came out, Wan Huojing, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately said: "Persian pirates mainly operate in the Persian sea area, which is the territory of the Persians. It is too dangerous to have only six warships!"

"Could it be that the navy can't fight without the new warships? The original warships of the navy are still in an advantageous position against the Persians. Could it be that the original warships can't participate in the battle?" Among the civil servants, one person stood up immediately. Let's talk.

As soon as these words came out, the Governor of the Dengzhou Navy and the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wan Huojing, felt embarrassed. Seeing this situation, Zeng Yi stood up and said: "Although the new weapons are powerful, they are not without shortcomings. If a group of pirates exposed The cost performance of new weapons is really too low. However, behind the Persian pirates is the Persian Empire, and its warships are also very advanced. The navy’s long-distance overseas operations are likely to cause certain casualties. If the Persians intervene, it will be very troublesome.”

"Then what should we do? Master Ni means not to use force?"

Zeng Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, this matter cannot be resolved without using force, but this force does not need to be used with all its strength. It only needs to eliminate some of the Persian pirates?"

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Zeng Yi.

"In fact, it is enough for the navy to dispatch some of the previous warships. There is no need to wipe out all the pirates. The Persian pirates are so powerful that it is not realistic to wipe them all out in a short time."

"However, if they are not completely wiped out, the Persian pirates will soon resurface. Even if their strength is damaged, they will still pose a threat to the trade routes."

"My lords, of course I know about this situation, but what if the merchant ships are also armed?"

Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, everyone came to their senses, "You mean armed merchant ships?" Everyone frowned. The Central Plains court has always been wary of merchants. As usual, the court is very cautious about arming merchant ships.

Zeng Yi quickly shook his head: "My lords misunderstood, I mean the forces of the world!"

At this time, everyone realized that what Zeng Yi was talking about was players. The imperial court had just released a first-class battleship, and it was a refitted first-class warship. Its strength was no worse than that of Persian pirates. If these people participated in the trade, their strength would be weakened. Persian pirates will also lose their effect.

In fact, players have been trading, but they are all common items, such as tea, silk and porcelain, which are monopolized by the imperial court, which were not available to players before.After hearing Zeng Yi's opinion, everyone started discussing.

After discussing for a while, everyone in the imperial court felt that the warships are open to players, and those trade goods are not harmful. Opening them to players will not only increase the income of the imperial court, but also allow players to invade the Persian Sea. There is no harm, so what reason does the court refuse.

But Zeng Yi also reminded: "The premise is that the court navy can weaken the strength of the Persian pirates. According to the known information, the Persian pirates are not weak. Even if they have lost several warships, their strength is still not something players can handle. , so whether this plan can be carried out smoothly depends on whether the navy can successfully weaken the strength of the Persian pirates!"

Said Zeng Yi looked at the captain of the navy, and the captain of the navy immediately said: "If it is just to weaken the strength of the Persian pirates, the navy will have no problem at all! But we need to know the pirate's lair!"

In fact, Zeng Yi already knew where the pirates' lair was from the pirates, but knowing it and being there were two different things. In order to avoid accidents, before the navy took action, it was necessary to send someone to investigate.

This kind of thing, Zeng Yi couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. The imperial court directly handed over this task to Jin Yiwei.

A group of first-class masters were selected from Jinyiwei, Zeng Yi and the captain of the Dengzhou Navy, rushed back to Dengzhou in a hurry.

The eldest and three knew that Zeng Yi had taken on another person who did not make much money, and they were almost speechless, "I said, second, can you not take this kind of task that is troublesome and less profitable?"

"You know what a fart. Such tasks are all good tasks for improving political achievements. Although there is no profit at the time, it is all credit. The long-term benefits are very good."

"Forget it, I've picked it up, let me think about what to do?"

The four of them discussed for a while, and the fourth and third child said, "Why don't you just drive the Jiaolong to kill them, anyway, it's just to investigate the situation of some pirates' lairs?"

"Just kill it? Scared the snake? Are you afraid that the Persians don't know or something?"

"You can't go on a battleship, whether it's the Jiaolong or the naval battleship!"

"Then, what can you do?" Zeng Yi and the other three looked at the fourth child and asked.

The fourth child thought for a while, "There is no way, but you have to go by yourself!"

Zeng Yi pointed to himself, "You mean me?"

"Yes! You can find a merchant ship and get on it. With your luck, you will be [-]% robbed by Persian pirates. When the time comes, you will pretend to surrender. If the Persians capture you, you will be able to determine the pirate's lair?"

Hearing what the fourth child said, the eldest brother and the third child's eyes lit up, and immediately said: "Yes, the second child is very suitable for you, but we definitely can't help you. After all, you have Fengtian Chengren. After you figure out the situation, It’s fine to commit suicide directly, but we can’t, if we go, we have to find a way to get out!”

"This!"

The next day Zeng Yi was in Dengzhou Commercial Port, looking for a suitable merchant ship. As a large port in the northern part of the Central Plains, Dengzhou naturally has a lot of merchants. Soon Zeng Yi found a suitable merchant ship, and the caravan was not large. , there are only two merchant ships, which are merchant ships of a gang in the north who run overseas merchants.

Zeng Yi pretended to be a traveler going to Persia. After he gave the captain of the merchant ship a few hundred taels of travel fare, the caravan happily agreed to take Zeng Yi with him, and Zeng Yi easily got on the merchant ship. What the hell, you charged me a few hundred taels for the boat, and you just waited to be robbed by Persian pirates! Letting me board the ship was your biggest mistake."
