Chapter 517: Visiting the Fleet
Li Rusong really couldn't understand Ji Yang, saying that he was rebellious, but he did a lot of things that benefited the country and the people. Take control of the South Seas, put an end to pirates, build a granary, and if you succeed in everything, you can indeed be crowned a king.
And Ji Yang doesn't seem to deliberately win the hearts of the people, and even the Xingzhu faction has a good relationship with the Liaodong soldiers. The Xingzhu faction sold 900 old artillery pieces to Xiong Yanbi, the official in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong. The soldiers of Liaodong were frostbitten, and the Xingzhu faction also sold a large number of newly developed antifreeze ointment to them, which was deeply loved by the whole Liaodong military camp.
"General Li, why don't you say anything when you come to Liaodong." Xiong Yanbi happened to be in Jizhou Port, observing the training of the Star Fleet.
Xiong Yanbi adopted a strategy of defending as an offensive against the Houjin forces outside Liaodong, casting a fortress and granary system in Shanhaiguan, supervising the manufacture of firearms, and constructing an impregnable defensive checkpoint with North Korea.
But he didn't expect that a star faction would suddenly appear in the Central Plains, a powerful fleet of stars. After this fleet took control of the South Seas, it landed from Jizhou, defeated the Uliangha people with its sharp tiger cannons, and subdued Jizhou.
Later, the Xingzhu faction took the initiative to contact Xiong Yanbi and the northern anti-Yuan generals to sell old artillery at a low price. came and went, the anti-Yuan generals in the north and Xiong Yanbi, the meridian of Liaodong, were inextricably linked to the Xingzhu faction.
Xiong Yanbi has been eyeing this fleet since he saw the training of the Star Fleet, and has repeatedly proposed to buy the Tiger God Cannon, and invited the commander of the Star Fleet to guide them in this training method called "special forces".
In order to consolidate the interests of Liaodong, Ji Yang agreed to send people to guide them in special training, but did not sell the Tiger God Cannon. So Xiong Yanbi often brought a few guards to watch the training of the Star Fleet, and by the way, he pulled more than a dozen cartloads of fish back to eat. The Star Fleet has specially added fishing boats, a 12-meter-long large fishing boat, which can catch millions of catties of fish at a time.
Xiong Yanbi these landlubbers, every time they see such a spectacular scene, they will sigh with emotion. If they had such a huge fishing boat, they wouldn't have to worry about food in the future, and they would die if they ate fish.
"General Xiong, why are you here?" Li Rusong was surprised.
"The Nakshatra Sect has laid such a big ground here, can I still not know? If you want to say that their ship cannon is really powerful, you see, that kind of tiger god cannon can hit a full eighteen miles. If our dynasty has such sharp artillery, there is no need to defend the Shanhai Pass, and we can directly march into the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Houjin. Xiong Yanbi pointed to the huge warships on the sea, envious and jealous.
"The constellation faction occupies the land privately, but it is rebellious, and it is more leisurely." Li Rusong lowered his voice.
"I wish they were rebellious, but the Star Constellation faction drove out the barbarians and rescued the people, I saw it all." Xiong Yanbi looked at Bu Jingyun's back with mixed feelings, if this young commander was a member of the court, he would inevitably become a famous general.
Xiong Yanbi is a more willful general, or more autonomous, and does not completely obey the arrangement. He hinted to Bu Jingyun many times, hoping that he would join the imperial court, but Bu Jingyun didn't hear it.
"You two, do you know that we can hear you, but you are still muttering in the back, playing a game of covering your ears and stealing the bell?" Ji Yang said.
"Master Ji, I'm sorry, I met my former colleagues and chatted a few words." Of course, Li Rusong knew that Ji Yang could hear it, but he didn't care, and it was estimated that Ji Yang wouldn't care either.
"You are Ji Yang, the head of the Star Sect, and you are really a talent with profound skills." Although Xiong Yanbi has an unspeakable relationship with the Star Sect, it is the first time he has seen Ji Yang.
"Exactly down there." Ji Yang smiled slightly.
In order to let Li Rusong more deeply appreciate the strength of the Star Fleet, Ji Yang ordered a warship to shell the sea. One hundred and eighty Tiger God Cannons fired five rounds in a salvo, and the rate of fire, the firing range and power far exceeded that of the Hongyi cannon, which deeply shocked Li Rusong and Xiong Yanbi.
Xiong Yanbi had only seen a few sailors before when he was training, and he used five Tiger God Cannons, which was far less spectacular than the salvo of one hundred and eighty Tiger God Cannons. Although they are strong in martial arts and are not afraid of artillery, their personal force is a person after all, and they cannot play a big role in a war of more than 100,000 people. The Tiger God Cannon can be mass-produced, powerful and powerful, and is the only weapon for large-scale battles.
"Master Ji, you just can't hang our appetite, how about selling me dozens of Tiger God Cannons?" Xiong Yanbi was about to drool when he looked at those tiger cannons, and they seemed to be peerless beauties.
"As long as the imperial court agrees to my conditions, let alone selling dozens of Tiger God Cannons, I can give them to you." Ji Yang said with a smile.
"On what terms?" Xiong Yanbi perked up and looked at Li Rusong.
"Crowned king." Li Rusong replied.
Xiong Yanbi's eyes widened, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
He instantly understood Ji Yang's words, if the imperial court named him king, he naturally didn't care about a few tiger cannons.
"No wonder Ji Yang is so confident, this star fleet is indeed powerful, if they land in Tianjin, there is no 300,000 troops who want to block these Tiger God Cannons. If Ji Yang takes action in person, I'm afraid that 300,000 troops will not be enough. Li Rusong felt a sense of powerlessness.
It is difficult to seal the king, and it is even more difficult to suppress the thief.
"When there was a drought in Shanxi and Henan, we took the opportunity to recruit 150,000 new soldiers and were training. They themselves have martial arts, at least they are all triple realms, and the powerful ones have nine realms. After months of training, they can board ships at any time to fight, and our Star Constellation Sect also has more than 100 cargo ships and fishing boats, which can be transformed into warships at any time. My Star Workshop is stepping up the casting of cannons, not to mention 6,000 Tiger God Cannons, even 100,000 can be taken out. General Li can go back and explain these things to the emperor clearly, and see if it is worth conferring a title on me. Ji Yang said.
"100,000 Tiger God Cannons, this ......" Xiong Yanbi was really drooling.
However, he quickly reacted, that is, he cast 100,000 Tiger God Cannons, where to find so many excellent artillery, how big should the shell consumption be, can the Star Faction stand it? So although Ji Yang's words sound powerful, they are actually full of loopholes, and Xiong Yanbi and Li Rusong will not be fooled.
But Ji Yang didn't want to threaten them, but to tell them that as long as I was crowned king, the imperial court would have 100,000 tiger cannons and an invincible fleet. This benefit is great, not to mention that the Xingzhu faction also controls Nanyang and Jizhou.
"General Li, I think it seems worthwhile to be crowned a prince to get so many benefits." Xiong Yanbi said, he couldn't wait to take 100,000 Tiger God Cannons to fight Beiyuan and Timur.
Timur's iron hooves ravaged the countries of Central Asia, defeated the European coalition, and hit India. In general, Timur was an extremely powerful nomadic state after Genghis Khan, and the conquest was invincible for more than forty years.
"I still have to ask the emperor for this matter." Li Rusong said, he was also a little moved.
