In the third year of Jingxing of the Great Song Dynasty, the ministers from Jinling finally followed the monsoon current south to Jinlan, and as expected, it was accompanied by an edict reprimanding the officials of the whole province from the Jiedu envoy to the officials below.

Tianzhu's envoy to Jinling was attacked by the Borneo Zhenhai Fleet under King Ning and pirates, which really shocked Jinling, who was preparing for the big sacrifice.

What made the Imperial Court even more annoyed was that the officials of Annan Province were so angry that they dared to detain the Tianzhu envoys without authorization.

Or, the Jinling side secretly acquiesced to this kind of action in Annam Province, the key is that you can't even keep people, but let people escape!

In short, the imperial court was made a mess by the unauthorized actions of Annam Province.

In any case, Li Zhe is the governor of Tianzhu, and his other identity is the husband of the future queen of Tianzhu and the prince of a country.

How can such a person be easily offended?

This move by Annam Province almost destroyed the good relations between the Great Song Dynasty and the Tianzhu Domain for hundreds of years.

After Li Zhe fled back after all the hardships, maybe how much resentment he had against the imperial court?

In short, in order to make up for the easing of the relationship between Tianzhu, the imperial court had to take out the bargaining chips that had been delayed for a long time, and ordered to canonize the regent princess Zhao Jieyu in advance to inherit the throne of King An, and at the same time gave the queen the marriage horse Li Zhe, and directly rewarded Li Zhe with the position of prince in advance.

Anyway, one sheep is driven, and two sheep are also herded.

The imperial court has been going back and forth with Tianzhu for more than half a year because of the queen's canonization, just to get stuck in Tianzhu on this, and to force Tianzhu to make some concessions in some aspects, but it was all messed up by the envoy of Annam Province.

This time, Tianzhu not only does not have to make concessions, but the imperial court must take care of the strongest vassal state in the current imperial court.

From the point of view of the Jinling Imperial Court, it is true that Annan Province wants to hold back the Tianzhu envoys, but you must not use this simple and crude way.

This is good, originally in the attack on the Tianzhu envoys, the imperial court should have stood in the position of the referee on the high, but now because of the abnormal movement in Annan Province, it seems that he is standing on the side of King Ning to help King Ning pull the shelf. The situation is getting a little worse.

In such a situation, it is difficult to say whether Tianzhu is willing to listen to the mediation of the ministers of the imperial court.

In short, from the standpoint of the imperial court, a war between King Ning and King An will never be allowed, but now, when the position of the imperial court has deviated, what other way can stop the rampaging Avenger chariot of the Tianzhu people, which is really troublesome.

……………………………………

Dingyuan Prefecture, Ceylon Port, that is, the Colombo Port in later generations.

Zhao Jiayi, the commander of the Dingyuan Prefecture Naval Division, looked at the strange warship on the sea that was rumbling with black smoke, and couldn't help but scold:

"Damn Tianzhu people, come to provoke again!"

This is the sixth "visit" of the Tianzhu Sailor in two days.

From the old sail warship of a whole team at the beginning, to this new steam-powered warship that he had never seen before Zhao Jiayi.

When this warship first appeared, it almost did not startle the officers and men of the sailors in the harbor at that time.

Oh my God! Speaking of which, none of the officers and soldiers of the Dingyuan Prefecture Naval Division of the Imperial Court have been running on this sea all their lives, but no one has ever seen this kind of ship without sails!

When they first met, the officers and soldiers in the harbor thought they had seen the legendary monster that swallowed clouds and spewed fog?

When I took the clairvoyance and saw it with my own eyes, I realized that it was a ship, a ship that was also operated by people, but this ship was not powered by sails.

Until now, the people of Dingyuan Prefecture Navy Division don't know what the so-called steam-powered battleship means, could it be that there is really a monster that hides a black hole and sprays smoke in it?

In short, the Dingyuan Prefecture Sailor can be harassed enough by the strange ship of the Tianzhu Sailor, and the upper and lower sides have no will to fight, Zhao Jiayi is sure that if the Tianzhu Sailor dares to really come to attack now, I am afraid that his camp will change hands in an hour, and this one standing under his feet, since the establishment of the Tianzhu Domain, the Ceylon Port that has been in the hands of the imperial court since the establishment of the Tianzhu Domain, may no longer be owned by the imperial court.

The Dingyuan Prefecture Naval Division in this state now has no strength to fight, and he Commander Zhao understands it very well.

What's more, the Tianzhu Sailor who has to face has such a warship.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Jiayi couldn't believe that such a ship would appear in this world.

It is easy to say that there is no need for sail power, but for the sailors and generals who are familiar with naval operations, they know what kind of role this simple change of power will play in a naval battle.

Think about it, in naval warfare, those traditional sail-powered sea ships can often only borrow power in one direction, and their movement on the battlefield often depends on the direction of the wind on the battlefield.

However, this new miraculously powered ship can move in any direction on the entire surface of the sea, and the changes in naval battle formations and artillery firing angles caused by this are enough to become the key factors in defeating the enemy, and as long as the commander is not stupid, the battle can never be lost.

Because such a warship can find the position that is most advantageous to itself and can strike the enemy the most at any time and in any wind.

It's just cheating!

Dingyuan Prefecture Water Division, why can he fight against the current Tianzhu Water Division?

Now the question is, how many warships with such strange power does Tianzhu have, and when will these warships be able to form actual combat power?

Zhao Jiayi seems to have seen that the sea of the Great Song Dynasty is full of such strange power ships, they will unstoppably occupy the sea of this era, Tianzhu was the first to build such a ship, and it took the opportunity of the times.

From then on, even the Great Song Dynasty could not compete with the Tianzhu Naval Division in a simple naval battle.
