(Congratulations to Doom for becoming the new leader of this book, thank you)

The Xue family is a family that has looked at the world for a long time.

When the eyes of the people of the world were fixed on the land, they turned to the sea.

Of course, this was also inspired by Count Jin to some extent.

More than 100 years ago, the entire eastern coastal area of the Yue Kingdom was ravaged by pirates, and the Xue family suffered a catastrophe.

The Golden Tree was born out of thin air, and single-handedly wiped out all the pirates along the coastline of thousands of miles.

It was from that time that the Xue family began to consciously manage the ocean.

After decades of hard work and several generations, Xue finally had some achievements, and gradually shifted his focus to the ocean.

But at that time, the Jin family also produced a family head who attached importance to the sea, that is, Earl Jin Yu, who did his best to borrow millions of gold coins from the Hidden Yuan Society, hired a whole fleet, tens of thousands of troops, and wanted to attack the pirate king Qiu Tianwei and seize the Leizhou Islands.

At that time, the Xue family was not only an absolute ally of the Jin family, but also an in-law for generations, and the other party had a business on the ocean, so of course the two sides hit it off.

Moreover, the Xue family showed great enthusiasm to help the Jin family.

Who knew that the Xue family had joined forces with the Yin Yuan Society and brought the Jin family's coalition into hell.

A lot of people don't know why.

Is it because of Enda's enmity?

Of course not.

Because the benefits of the sea are limited, the Xue family has already eaten the benefits of the sea, and of course they don't want the Jin family to eat it.

Moreover, under the leadership of the Yin Yuan Society, the Xue family and Qiu Tianwei also have a lot of interests.

Qiu Tianwei occupies the right to trade in the eastern seas, and Xue Che monopolizes the right to trade in the southern seas.

Earl Jin Yu was very talented and rushed in, of course, there was only a dead end.

The Leizhou Islands are more than 10,000 square kilometers.

The Xue family's Nanzhou Islands are similar, about 17,000 square kilometers.

Through decades of operation, it has a population of hundreds of thousands.

Although the cultivated land of these islands is not very large, the climate is hot, and it grows three times a year.

As a result, not only can grain be produced in high quantities, but also in large quantities.

There are iron ore mines on Jinshan Island, and iron ore mines on the Nanzhou Islands.

Not only that, but the Xue family also has two large businesses.

Palm oil, precious wood.

Within a few thousand miles of the southern seas, there are dozens of large and small countries, with countless primeval forests, rich in palm oil and precious timber.

The entire Yue Kingdom, and even the wealthy nobles of the entire Eastern Dynasty, like yellow rosewood and red sandalwood.

And more than half of these businesses are semi-monopolized by the Xue family and the Hidden Yuan Society.

Compared with the Jin family's vigorous seizure of Angry Tide City, the Xue family is the real muffled fortune.

This family is the real rich country.

It is precisely because of the interests and wealth of the sky that the Xue family climbed the Futu Mountain and climbed the relationship of the empire.

So this time Xue Che returned to Yue from Yanjing, Ning Yuanxian behaved with confidence, but Xue Che did not react violently.

Because his vision has long surpassed the Yue Kingdom and focused on the entire Great Yan Empire.

It is precisely because of the wealth that the Xue family has a powerful fleet and a powerful South China Sea Sword Sect.

........................

"The seed clan lost. Xue Che narrowed his eyes: "So fast? The Nirvana Army really shouldn't have appeared in this world." ”

He was playing with a jadeite in his hand, which was a freshly mined jadeite, which according to the earth's parlance was a glass species, a top-grade jadeite.

He holds the jade in his left hand and the glass in his right hand.

This glass is also produced by Shen Lang and has become a luxury item that has swept the Oriental world.

After careful comparison, I found that the glass was still crystal clear.

"This jadeite business can't be done. Xue Che said: "The cost of Shen Lang's glass is frighteningly low, even if our jadeite is mined, the price can't sell them, and their glass already has a variety of colors." ”

"However, our jadeite is natural, while Shen Lang's glass is man-made, and its value is far inferior to ours. The shopkeeper in charge of jadeite trading said: "So in the end, glass is still no match for jadeite." ”

Xue Che said: "This is good, but at least ten or twenty years later. Scarcity is expensive, Shen Lang and Tiandao will release less glass than our jadeite every year, the price is not high, and there are even rumors that these glasses are extracted from jadeite, how to do this business?"

Glass is extracted from jadeite, who spread this sentence?

Of course, it's Shen Lang, otherwise how can glass be sold at a sky-high price?

The shopkeeper said: "Do we still need those jade mines?"

"Yes, of course. Xue Che said: "Not only those few jadeite mines, but also all the jadeite mines, and then completely sealed and not mined, so that the jadeite production of the entire Oriental World will be completely reduced and become more and more rare." A few decades later, glass will be available on a large scale, and its value will plummet, turning it from a luxury item to an ordinary item. And at that time, the jadeite will be able to rise again. ”

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "The lord is wise. ”

This decision is indeed wise, but it has nothing to do with him anymore.

Because it will take at least a few decades for the lord's strategy to see results, and by that time his sons have retired.

"Father, the Imperial Emissary is here. Xue Pan said.

........................

"Knock to His Royal Highness. Xue Che was about to kneel.

The envoy of the empire is still Prince Lian.

"Chongyao is defeated. Prince Lian said.

Xue Che said: "The minister has already heard about it. ”

The Imperial Prince Lian said: "If you lose, you will be defeated, and the plan on your side continues." ”

Xue Che said: "Yes, I am gathering a large army. Once assembled, they can completely annihilate the Jin family's surface fleet, capture Raging Tide City, and completely blockade the entire eastern sea. ”

Prince Lian of the Empire said: "I once promised Chong Yao that as long as he destroyed the Nirvana Army, the Chong family would become a country on its own. Then now I also promise you on behalf of the empire, as long as you destroy the Jin family's sea fleet, as long as you blockade the eastern seas of the Yue Kingdom, the empire will also allow the Xue family to establish itself as a country, how about the title of the Duchy of Nanzhou?"

Xue Che immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister never dares to have such a thought, the Xue family has only wanted to be loyal ministers of the empire for generations, and does not want to establish a country on its own. ”

As soon as these words came out, Prince Lian's eyes narrowed.

From this sentence alone, it can be seen that Xue Che is much more clever than Chong Yao.

Whether it is Chong Yao or Su Nan, there is an obsession in his mind to become a country on his own.

But don't you know that His Majesty the Emperor already wants to completely unify the whole world?

At that time, even the kingdom will not be able to be kept, let alone your principality?

You keep saying that you have established yourself as a state, and although the empire allows it, your hearts are not very happy.

Only Xue Che made a fortune in a muffled voice.

The Xue family is obviously richer than the Su family and the Chong family, but he is still an earl, and even Jin Zhuo has been promoted to marquis.

Prince Lian said, "Then what do you want? The empire can't let you work in vain." ”

Xue Che said: "After conquering the Leizhou Islands and Raging Tide City, the minister is willing to run the Leizhou Islands for the empire. ”

The Imperial Prince Lian leaned back slightly.

This abacus is shrewd, I don't want the false name of the principality, and I don't want to become the king of a country, but I want the right to rule the Leizhou Islands.

This is not just an archipelago, but also a right to trade in the eastern seas of Vietnam.

"Xue Che, you've wanted to fight the Thunder Island Islands for a long time. Prince Lian said.

Xue Che kowtowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince smiled." ”

Not only that, it's just salivating.

The Xue family only rose by taking the road of the ocean, and now the Jin family wants to copy the trajectory of the Xue family, how can this be?

More than 20 years ago, Xue Che finally killed the Jin family's ocean road, and now that the Jin family is about to rise again, how can he not be anxious?

So to speak.

From the moment Shen Lang destroyed Qiu Tianwei and seized Raging Tide City. The Xue family is preparing for this battle, preparing to destroy the Jin family and capture Raging Tide City.

"Okay, both the Leizhou Islands and Raging Tide City are for you. "Imperial Prince Lian said.

The two of them did not discuss any private transactions, but Prince Lian, the business of the Xue family, also had a share.

In Yanjing for more than ten years, Xue Che has used interests to create a big net.

Prince Lian said: "Xue Che, let me repeat it again, if you lose if you lose, you will lose, nothing matters." But destroying the Jin family and completely blockading the eastern seas is extremely important, do you understand? You are just one of the families who received the order, the Wu Kingdom in the north, the Imperial fleet further north, and the alien fleet further north have all received the will of the Empire. The entire eastern world seas were completely blocked, more than 15,000 miles from north to south, with a total of more than a dozen fleets participating. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xue Che's body trembled slightly.

Such a big deal?

Fifteen thousand miles of sea frontier?

Then he Xue Che was only responsible for two or three thousand miles.

What happened?

To blockade the sea for more than 10,000 miles?

Prince Lian said: "You are a smart person, you should know the weight of this." I won't tell you why, but I can tell you that the heavens and the earth will soon come to the ground. ”

Xue Che kowtowed: "The minister only obeys the will of the empire, and never dares to speculate." ”

Prince Lian said: "Okay, let's do a good job." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be caught up with by you. The credit is greater than the sky, but there are easy ways to do it. ”

"Obey the order!"

..................

After the Imperial Prince Lian left.

Xcher came to the huge map.

From this map, it can be seen that he is different from other nobles in the Yue Kingdom.

The map of the Kim family only includes the eastern seas of the Yue Kingdom.

Ning Yuanxian's map only includes the surrounding areas of the Yue Kingdom.

However, Xue Che's large map is the seas and islands of the entire Eastern World.

His gaze stretched from the northernmost Permafrost Sea to the southernmost Island of Mercy, a straight-line distance of more than sixteen,800 miles.

Something has happened, something must have happened.

Otherwise, the empire would definitely not use such a big hand.

A total of more than a dozen fleets from several countries were dispatched to blockade the sea area of more than 10,000 miles.

What exactly is being blocked?

Or rather, who are you blocking?

Something big must have happened.

What happened?

Xue Che didn't really want to know, he only knew what great benefits he could get from it.

Prince Lian said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to easily make such a great contribution.

The Kim family?

Maybe it's just an insignificant small supporting role in this big drama.

Kim and the Leizhou Islands are just a small stumbling block to this plan of the Empire?

..................

Xue's fleet had already been assembled.

The reason why it has not been set off is only because it has not been negotiated.

Now that the negotiation has been settled, it is natural to set off.

This army led the army to Yan Nanfei, not only one of the great masters, the master of the South China Sea Sword Sect, but also had an extremely close relationship with Futu Mountain.

Xue Che said: "Brother Xian, you must remember one sentence. Destroy the Jin family at the lowest cost, and even kill everyone in Angry Tide City, we don't need everyone in Angry Tide City, we just want this island. And we must exterminate the Jin family, from the eighty-year-old woman to the young children who are waiting to be fed, don't let them go, cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Yan Nanfei arched his hand and said, "Brother, I remember." ”

Xue Che said: "Our brother, one person is in the house, and the other is outside, you have worked hard." ”

Yan Nanfei said: "Brother is hard. ”

Xue Che said, "Xue Pan, come here." ”

Xue Pan, the son of the Xue family, walked over.

Xue Che said: "You also go with your uncle to study, you have been on the ground for too long, and you need to go to the ocean to experience experience." ”

Xue Pan bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Yan Nanfei said: "Then everything in the family, please leave it to my brother." ”

Xue Che said: "Don't worry, my Nanzhou Islands are more than two thousand miles away from the land, and the Xue Clan's fleet is here, so the Nanzhou Islands will sit back and relax." ”

Yan Nanfei and Xue Pan boarded the tall flagship of the Xue family.

"Let's go!"

Order.

Flags fly.

The fleet of the Xue family left the dock of the Nanzhou Islands in a mighty way, heading in the direction of the Northeast Raging Tide City, a distance of more than three thousand five hundred miles.

"Remember to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

On the highest castle in Nanzhou City.

Ning Qi and Xue Xue watched the Xue fleet leave.

This fleet can really be called mighty.

There were more than 200 large and small ships, and a full 30,000 people.

Of course, this is also a coalition army.

Sixty percent of them belong to the Xue family, and forty percent are ships of nearby sea forces.

Every war is like this.

As the leader of this sea area, the Xue family must bring other forces, one is to increase combat effectiveness, and the other is to protect the peace of the homeland.

Otherwise, the main fleet is gone, leaving behind a large number of younger brothers, what if they are ready to move and have undeserved ambitions?

Someone may ask.

There were 30,000 pirates in Qiu Tianwei before, but now Xue Che can gather 30,000 coalition troops?

Can this sea area give birth to so many sea forces?

Of course!

This is more than four or five thousand miles of trade interests, large and small dozens of national forces.

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the great pirate Zhang Baozai occupied a much smaller territory, but in his heyday there were thousands of ships of all kinds and more than 70,000 pirate troops.

Ning Qi looked at this fleet, his eyes were very complicated.

"Your Highness......" Xue Xue stepped forward and hugged Ning Qi from behind, and said softly: "You don't have to be sentimental, I have a hunch that your time will come soon." ”

Ning Qi didn't speak.

After he came to the territory of the Xue family, the Xue family was still respectful to him.

Especially Xue Che came to ask for peace every day, and still regarded him as the young master, but Ning Qi could still feel the feeling of being under the fence.

..................

Looking at the Xue Clan's fleet from the castle, it was not only Ning Qi who left, but also one person, Yan E, the governor of Heishui Terrace.

This is also a supreme master who has the reality of a grandmaster, but does not have the name of a grandmaster.

His heart is even more complicated.

He is Ning Yuanxian's real descendant, and he can be regarded as the senior brother of Xue Che and Yan Nanfei.

Because of interests, because of deeper entanglements, he went further and further on the road of the Xue family.

But he really didn't think about opposing Ning Yuanxian.

So when he went to arrest Ning Gang, the moment he saw Ning Yuanxian wake up, he immediately gave up all resistance and knelt on the ground.

However, he couldn't get off the ship of the Xue family and Ning Qi.

And Ning Yuanxian would never trust him anymore, so he chose to leave.

Although this place is good, it is not my hometown, and I hope that one day, I can return to Tianyue.

..................

The fleet of the Xue family is the absolute overlord in this sea area, and it is not until the territorial waters of Tiannan Province that the fleets of other forces may appear.

Therefore, in the sea area of more than 2,000 miles, Yan Nanfei is like cruising in his own bath.

Xue Pan looked at the boundless sea and said, "Uncle, when Count Jin was so strong, why didn't he occupy all the islands in the eastern and southern seas, and then move all the Jin family overseas?"

Yan Nanfei said: "One is because of stupidity, and the other is because he died early." ”

Xue Pan said: "This time, we are going to kill the Jin family and eradicate the roots, including Jin Mulan?"

Yan Nanfei said: "I hope that including her, the will of the empire, will wipe out all the special bloodlines." ”

To be precise, it is to erase all the special bloodlines of the non-six major forces.

From now on, there can only be an empire and the six transcendent forces that can master the power of ancient civilizations.

"That's a pity. Xue Pan said.

His words revealed incomparable ugliness.

Jin Mulan is so beautiful, especially after the Nirvana, her beauty simply stands at the top of the pyramid.

Xue Pan was also extremely coveted in his heart.

Yan Nanfei said: "The last person who coveted Golden Mulan was Ning Yi. ”

Xue Pan said: "Uncle said he laughed. ”

Yan Nanfei said: "I didn't laugh, the previous Jin Mulan was beautiful enough, and was regarded as forbidden by the crown prince Ning Yi, but now Ning Yi is finished." Now Jin Mulan is more beautiful, so beautiful that people can't open their eyes. So you can't touch it, and once you touch it, it will make a lot of big people hold a grudge, you know?"

Xue Pan said: "The little nephew knows. ”

Yan Nanfei said: "So destroy it directly, completely chop it up, and avoid disaster." ”

On the mast of the Xue flagship, there is a person looking out all the time, standing at the highest point to observe the enemy situation.

He was a bit lazy.

Because within more than 2,000 miles, there can be no hostile situation, and this is completely the Xue family's inland sea.

The Jin family's Raging Tide City is still two or three thousand miles away.

Moreover, the Jin family's navy is so weak that it makes people cry, and it has been several years, and even the pirate revenge has not been extinguished.

A land army can be trained in a few years, while a surface fleet takes decades to become a powerful sailor.

All the people in the Xue fleet knew that the key to this battle was the siege of Angry Tide City.

The battle on the sea, there is no suspense at all.

It's a spike.

How many ships does the Jin family's fleet have?

Less than a fraction of the Xue coalition army.

And their ships were small, and Xue's warships were large and sturdy.

Not only that, Xue's warships have trebuchets and giant crossbows.

The Jin family's warship was so small that it couldn't fit anything.

Therefore, in front of the Xue Clan's coalition forces, the Jin family's fleet is really like a child who has just walked, and it is absolutely vulnerable.

Perhaps it was so strong that the lookout warrior on the mast couldn't be interested at all.

Because for more than ten years there has not been an enemy of sufficient weight.

It was at this time.

Suddenly, a black spot appeared on the surface of the sea far ahead.

The lookout of the Xue family couldn't help but be stunned.

This is the merchant ship?

He didn't care too much about it, it was normal for merchant ships to appear in this area, and even the Xue family's patrol ships were normal.

However......

The next moment, dozens of black dots appeared densely.

It's not normal, it's definitely not normal.

First of all, the trade fleet can't be that dense, and it's not this formation.

But it's too far away to see clearly.

After another quarter of an hour, I finally saw clearly.

I...... Holy!

This, is this hell there?

What do I see?

The Kim family's fleet?

The mast man wiped his eyes desperately, and then patted his head hard.

Am I hallucinating?

Got a little closer.

He finally saw it clearly.

It's really the Kim family's fleet.

Then he hurriedly sounded the gong.

"There is an enemy, there is an enemy......"

"Dangdangdang......"

"There is hostility. ”

Then the flagbearers on the entire flagship waved desperately.

A warning to the entire fleet.

In fact, many people have seen it.

Yan Nanfei and Xue Pan also saw it.

They also couldn't believe their eyes at all.

Is the Kim family crazy?

Shen Lang: Is this crazy?

We haven't beaten you yet, and you're in Rage City, you're actually here to beat our Xue Clan?

How many ships are there in your fleet?

How many people are there?

Your Nirvana army is invincible on the ground and completely useless on the sea.

You're too easy to find death, aren't you?

Soon Yan Nanfei saw it clearly, and he couldn't believe it even more.

The Jin family's fleet consists of forty ships, and the ships are not large, adding up to no more than four thousand people.

These ships look flat and particularly slender.

But other than that, there are no advantages.

But since you Shen Lang are willing to die, I am also willing to bury it.

Yan Nanfei gave an order.

"Ready to fight, ready to fight!"

"The fleet is in an encirclement formation!"

..................

Naval battles are incomparably troublesome.

Especially in naval battles at this time, it takes a long time to arrange the formation.

The two fleets, albeit already close.

But it was more than an hour before the naval battle officially broke out.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The fleet of the Xue family showed amazing long-range combat effectiveness.

In total, they had more than two hundred large and small ships, of which more than thirty were large ships.

These large ships are equipped with giant crossbows and large trebuchets, which can attack from a distance of more than 300 meters.

This power is simply amazing.

But......

This accuracy is also touching.

The giant crossbow is okay, and it has a certain accuracy.

And the trebuchet can really only smash the sea.

To be able to hit a shot, it is definitely a stroke of luck.

The fleet of the Xue family was bombarded, and the posture was amazing.

But the results were almost zero.

No way, even in the era of artillery warships, I don't know how long it will take to master the accuracy of the bombardment.

And what about Shen Lang's fleet?

No giant crossbows, no trebuchets.

There is only one way.

Archer.

Is this a joke?

Is this a naval battle to go back to Earth's BC?

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

On the Shen Lang fleet, the Nirvana army rained arrows.

All rockets.

Draw a graceful arc through the air.

"Puff ......"

The rain of arrows smashed the Xue family's fleet.

Yan Nanfei and the others were shocked.

It's crazy.

How far can the archers of the Kim family shoot?

That's pretty much the extreme.

The two stone bows are thrown into the air, capable of shooting a distance of nearly three hundred meters.

But precision?

Don't talk about it.

Chance.

And just like that, the two fleets fought for half an hour!

Shen Lang's fleet actually had the upper hand.

Because the arrows of the Nirvana army shot too far, they were not weaker than the giant crossbows and large trebuchets of the Xue fleet.

And three thousand men are better at shooting arrows than dozens of giant crossbows and trebuchets.

But the result?

Don't talk about it.

At this distance, even the arrows of the Nirvana Army are not powerful.

Even if it was a rocket, it would be difficult to ignite Xue's ship.

Fierce battle for half an hour.

Hundreds of casualties were killed.

Moreover, the distance between the two sides has always been maintained at more than 300 meters.

There is no way.

Shen Lang didn't dare to take risks.

The disparity in strength between the fleets of the two sides was too great.

Shen Lang's ships are lightweight, agile and fast.

However, it is also relatively brittle, and once you get hit by a few trebuchets and giant crossbows, the injury is not light.

After half an hour of fierce fighting.

Shen Lang's fleet fled.

The Xue family's fleet pursued frantically.

At this time, Yan Nanfei finally discovered the characteristics of Shen Lang's fleet.

Fast and very flexible.

The speed of the entire fleet was about two percent faster than that of the Xue fleet.

The two fleets began a frantic chase.

Originally, the Xue Clan's fleet was a fleet that would never be able to catch up with Shen Lang.

But Shen Lang was too cheap, and every time he was too far away, his fleet would deliberately slow down so that the Xue fleet could catch up.

The whole process is like a beautiful woman teasing a hooligan.

"Come here, come here, as long as you catch up with me, I'll let you XXX. ”

As a result, the hooligans chased frantically, but they couldn't catch up at all.

When you were about to give up, the beauty stopped again and scratched her head: "Come here, as long as you catch up with me, I'll let you sleep." ”

..................

Two days and two nights passed.

The Xue fleet has always been chasing frantically, and there is no serious battle at all.

Xue Pan said: "Uncle, Shen Lang has deceit and trickery. ”

Yan Nanfei sneered.

Of course, Shen Lang has a trick.

Is this an attempt to lure the Xue fleet to some terrible hell?

It's ridiculous.

Who is most familiar with this part of the sea?

It's not you Shen Lang, it's my Xue family.

You Shen Lang are certainly scheming, but I can't fly because I grew up on the sea.

This area is the inland sea of my Xue family, and I know it completely.

..................

on the flagship of the Kim family.

Mulan stood at the bow of the boat, closing her eyes to sense the ocean.

She heard the howling of the sea, heard the sea breeze, heard the bottom of the sea.

Shen Lang stepped forward and said, "Baby, are you sure?"

Mulan said: "It's certain, the ocean is wailing, whimpering, and accumulating endless power." Waiting for an instantaneous outburst. ”

Shen Lang said: "Then this outburst, is it powerful enough?"

Mulan said: "Whether it is our fleet or the fleet of the Xue family, in front of the power of this ocean heaven and earth, it is like a child's toy, and it can easily be turned into powder. ”

After Mulan's transformation, she had the perception of ancient humans.

The perception of nature as a whole.

Perception of the earth, of the ocean, of the climate.

She knows when it's going to be windy, when it's going to rain, and when it's going to be thundering.

Even more terrible disasters, she can foresee in advance.

He had demonstrated this ability a few months earlier.

Therefore, Yan Nanfei's premonition was not wrong, Shen Lang was about to take the Xue family's fleet to hell.

..................

Note: Today's two more 16,000! Everyone, give me a monthly pass, and the pastry is silently pleading.
