Chapter 463: Sea Dragon Sailor

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose on the eastern coast, the military port began to be busy.

More than 5,000 elite generals of the Shu army surrounded the port, and anyone entering and leaving had to go through a strict search.

Because Yang Yi wanted to cut the ribbon in person, the number of people who came to visit the "Zhenguang" water entry ceremony today increased several times, not only the people from Shuzhong and Dayue National Newspaper, but also the stewards and shopkeepers of merchants stationed here, as well as local celebrities and nobles in Dayue Kingdom, and even many foreign political envoys from southeastern countries.

On the third day of the day, Yang Yi arrived at the military port, followed closely by Murong Sinan, Yue Jing, Zheng He and Su Geli, the lord of the Dayue Kingdom, who rushed here overnight.

Everyone quickly entered the military port surrounded by dozens of guards, and many people wanted to come forward to see Yang Yi, but they were stopped by the guards and told everyone that there would be time to ask questions later.

This caused many people to be puzzled, it was just a boat overboard ceremony, Yang Yi not only attended in person, but also made it so grand, could there be anything else.

Once everything was in place, the ceremony began.

I saw dozens of officers and soldiers of the Shu Army holding a military flag in their hands, stepping straight onto the "Zhenguang" giant ship with neat steps, and unfolding the flag and slowly raising it.

And the "Red Sun", which was docked on the other side, also began to raise the flag at the same time.

Thousands of people in the audience stood solemnly, everyone knew the rules of the Shu army, and they must not make noise when raising the flag, otherwise they will be cleared.

And when the flag went straight to the top of the pole, everyone showed a surprised expression, especially those who knew something about the Shu army.

Not for anything else, just because no one has ever seen the two flags raised with the "Zhenguang" and the "Red Sun", that is, they are not the military flags of Daguang Shu, nor the national flag of Dayue, but a flag with a little blue like a wave of the sea.

At this time, people with a keen sense of smell still predicted that something big would happen today, and turned to look at Yang Yi on the high platform expectantly.

When the flag was raised, everyone turned to look at the high platform, only to see Yang Yi slowly walking up, standing in front of the high platform and respectfully saluting everyone in the audience.

Everyone in the audience hurriedly bowed their hands in return.

Yang Yi straightened his waist, glanced at the audience, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for coming to participate in the landing ceremony of the Zhenguang battleship, I believe that the Zhenguang will carry your expectations in the future, defend the territory, sweep away the pirates, and create a peaceful sea area for the people of Dayue and Daguang." ”

According to common sense, there should be applause here, but the ancients didn't understand this, but some people nodded with smiles on their faces.

This embarrassed Yang Yi, who had prepared a passionate speech.

Yang Yi had no choice but to cough lightly to hide his embarrassment, and immediately put away the words of pride that he had prepared all night in his heart, and said with a smile: "In addition, on the day when the Zhenguang entered the water today, Yang Yi still has two things to announce to you. ”

Everyone immediately quieted down, staring at Yang Yi and continuing to speak.

"First of all, after a long period of consideration and preparation, with the successful sailing of the two main ships of the Red Sun and Zhenguang, this king has decided to set up a direct naval division under the direct management of Shuzhong from today to ensure the maritime tranquility of Daguang and the coastal areas of the southeastern countries."

After a pause, Yang Yi said again: "This new sailor is called the Sea Dragon Sailor Fleet, and the commander is Zheng He. ”

One word stirred up a thousand waves, and before Yang Yi's words fell, the pot had already exploded below.

"Shuzhong wants to set up a water division? Is this an attempt to expand its influence along the coast? ”

"Great, I see who will dare to plunder our Shuzhong merchant ships in the future!"

"Doesn't Daguang have an East Water Division? His Royal Highness the King of Shu established the Sea Dragon Water Division, will there be a conflict with the East Water Division? ”

For a time, there were those who were happy, those who were puzzled, and there were not a few who were worried.

Prior to this, although Shuzhong had set up a shipyard in Dayue and controlled the military port, most people believed that these were all in the service of Shuzhong commerce, and the actions of the Shu army were basically in the name of the Dayue Naval Division.

The Dayue National Naval Division, it sounds good to say that it is an army establishment, but it is a fictitious thing to say that it is not good, except for a few fighting ships, not to mention the building ships, that is, there are not even ships.

Now Yang Yi wants to set up his own naval fleet in Shuzhong, there is absolutely no problem in terms of strength, just looking at the two big ships moored in the military port, he knows that once this "Sea Dragon Naval Division" completes its establishment, it will be looked down upon in the entire southeast sea.

However, those with sad faces are not only worried about the strength of the "Sea Dragon Water Master", but what they are more worried about is what is their goal after the establishment of the Water Master?

If Yang Yi set up a sailor simply to clear the pirates and protect the merchant ships in Shu, it would naturally be a happy thing, but is it really that simple?

As we all know, Yang Yi has been trying his best to explore the situation of the southeastern countries in recent years, although it is in the name of commercial exploration on the surface, but who is sure that Yang Yi is not preparing for his own territorial expansion?

For the southeastern island countries, Daguang itself is a giant dragon lurking in the east, and it has always regarded itself as a great power. Since Yang Yi entered Shu, Shuzhong has developed rapidly, not only the civil affairs have gradually risen, but the military strength has been growing day by day. What makes the southeastern countries even more worried is that this Daguang Shu King has abandoned the previous Daguang great power posture, and is not complacent, but extremely aggressive, which can be clearly detected from the thunderous momentum of Shuzhong's control of the Dayue Kingdom.

Therefore, those envoys and merchants from the southeastern country couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts, once Yang Yi really decided to expand his power to the south, then the entire southeastern land would face a huge disaster.

Just when someone wanted to ask, Yang Yi, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly said, "The second thing..."

The crowd immediately fell silent again, and the first thing was like a depth charge, and everyone was upset, but what was the second thing?

"This second thing is that I have reached an agreement with the Yu people of Yazhou after some negotiations, and I will reopen the Dongxian Island Sea Market in Yazhou, and you can go north along the coast through the East China Sea to expand your business to the north.

And our sea dragon sailor will be responsible for the safety of this sea line, whether it is pirates or rampant Japanese people, we are within the range of our attack. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yiruo looked at the audience with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "I believe that many of you have more or less contact with those pirates in order to survive, today, I will ask you to help Yang Yi bring a word, let them find another way to make a living, if any pirates dare to rob our cargo ship on this sea line, the ends of the world... It will be punished! ”
