Chapter 1: Fleet Build-up

When the "Laiyang" and "Laizhou" arrived in Donglai, Wei Yu was very satisfied with the performance of the two firepower-enhanced three-masted battleships, and now the troops participating in the operation have all been deployed.

Wei Yu also summoned Gangzi at the first time.

In the Admiral's Palace, Wei Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, said to Gangzi: "This operation has my Donglai County and Beihai County jointly swearing, and the purpose is to support the second prince to ascend to the throne. The current military policy of the king of Qingzhou is slightly too conservative, we control the mouth of the Yellow River, and we can be more proactive in the external attitude, especially in the battle of Xuzhou, if it were not for the king of Qingzhou repeatedly suppressed the attackers, otherwise we would have expanded the land to the south by virtue of the sea advantage. Now the decaying Qingzhou royal palace is no longer worthy of our allegiance, and our two counties of Donglai and Beihai are ready to support the second prince as the king of Qingzhou, but Linzi County, Chengyang County, and Jimo County are all under the control of the king of Qingzhou, and the battle is inevitable. ”

It turned out that there were so many people involved in the rebellion, and Brother Bai had to worry about it, Brother thought that Wei Yu was going to be the king of Qingzhou, and he wanted to drive the battleship to land! Now Qingzhou is divided into two major forces, Donglai and Beihai against Linzi, Jimo and Chengyang. There are only two counties that support the second prince, and the power is a little weaker, but these two counties are extremely rich, and the number of wins and losses against the other three counties is five or five.

It doesn't matter if the battle on land is fought, how to fight on the sea still needs to listen to Wei Yu's arrangement, but the powerful Donglai Navy fights the Jimo Navy, there is basically no suspense, and the brother can wave the flag and shout in the back.

It's just that Wei Yu said: "Qingzhou and Youzhou are still in an alliance after all, in order to prevent the Youzhou Navy from accepting the invitation of the King of Qingzhou to attack us, the Donglai Navy can't act rashly, so ......"

Gangzi suddenly had a bad premonition.

"So to deal with the Jimo Navy going north, you need to rely on your Black Sail Fleet."

Gangzi stood up and said, "The Jimo Navy has five three-masted warships, how can I fight them?" ”

Wei Yu reassured: "You don't need to defeat them, as long as they can't enter the Donglai Sea when we attack Linzi." Our Donglai Navy is equal to the strength of the Youzhou Navy, if we can't see the Jimo Navy, the Youzhou Navy will not act rashly, and when we conquer Linzi, the second prince will become the king of Qingzhou, and the Youzhou Navy and we will resume an ally, and when the time comes, I will lead the fleet to support you. ”

Gangzi thought about it for a moment and said, "Give me the two three-masted battleships 'Laizhou' and 'Laiyang', so that I have three three-masted battleships in my hands." can barely deal with the Jimo Navy. ”

Wei Yu nodded and replied: "These two three-masted battleships were originally prepared for you, but don't you have two three-masted battleships?" ”

Gangzi said arrogantly: "The three-masted battleship is outdated, and the lowly position is now playing the legendary battleship." ”

Wei Yu was surprised: "You actually have a Legendary-class battleship!" Ding Xin reported that when you returned from the UK, you were separated in Gibraltar, and it was rare that you got the legendary battleship at that time? ”

Gangzi admitted: "Yes, I happened to have a treasure map at that time, and who knew that I would dig and dig up a legendary battleship, hahaha...... Luck wasn't bad. ”

Wei Yu said enviously: "It's not just good luck, I knew that I would have asked Ding Xin and Bai Si to follow you." Now you have a Legendary-class ship. Presumably, it will be easier for the Jimo Navy. Now I can promise you that when the second prince becomes the king of Qingzhou, you will be promoted to Zhonglang General, Admiral Jimo Navy. ”

Gangzi never thought of it. Wei Yu actually gave such a big cake, but what position did Wei Yu occupy in the second prince's camp? Is she qualified to be the general of Zhonglang and put the Jimo Navy in the hands of a player?

Perhaps seeing Gangzi's question, Wei Yu said slowly: "Don't worry." A legendary-class battleship is enough for the second prince to make you a lieutenant general, not to mention that when the second prince becomes the king of Qingzhou, after our wedding. I am the princess and prime minister of the Qingzhou Navy, Jimo is on the front line of the confrontation with Xuzhou, and my subordinates can rest assured that your achievements can reassure me. ”

I said, no wonder Wei Yu is so concerned about this coup, it is completely inconsistent with the character she usually shows, it turns out that the princess wants to be a princess. Hahaha, my brother is really hugging his thick thighs now, and the wind on the pillow will blow a little in the future, and my brother will be able to worship the marquis in the future. It's just that...... Brother has the stain of sending the princess Chun-palace map, in case the second prince knows, won't the brother be empty? But...... This Wei Yu has never mentioned this matter since then, and he also shows a little flattery from time to time to seduce his brother, it is rare that the brother is destined to write a strong stroke in history with the merits of the Yin chaotic court?

"Lord Admiral, rest assured, with my Gangzi and the Black Sail Fleet, the Jimo Navy wants to step into the Donglai Sea area, and the lowly post will go to gather the fleet, just wait for the Lord to swear in Donglai, I will immediately block the sea route to the north of Jimo, and congratulate the adults on their wedding in advance, and wish the princess a thousand years old."

Gangzi immediately quit and went to the Scar Wu stronghold to accept the two firepower-enhanced three-masted battleships "Laiyang" and "Laizhou".

The mixed fleet of the Lingxiao Special Fleet assembled.

The Black Sails Pirate fleet assembles.

All the warships of the Jiuzhuo fleet in Hangzhou were assembled.

Qian Duoduo reacted the fastest, and immediately called over: "Gangzi, what's the matter?" Is the assembly fleet for war? Where is the war zone? I told the merchant fleet to avoid. ”

Gangzi replied: "Don't run away in the Qingzhou sea area for the time being, how many speed-enhanced dhows have I sent over?" ”

"I have left all ten ships with full speed, and the others will be given priority to the four fleets according to your wishes, and none of them will be left."

"Well, transfer all the warships that can be used to Lingxiao County, if this battle can be won, it will be brothers on the sea of Dahan in the future."

"Really?" This is simply explosive news, Qian Duoduo can't believe it, but Gangzi is not a person who casually speaks wildly, Qian Duoduo didn't dare to delay more, and immediately dropped all the battleships that could be mobilized at hand into Lingxiao Harbor, and several battleships that were nearby in the escort mission were also recalled. In a short period of time, the Jiuzhuo fleet had five brigs and twenty sloops, of which 10 sloops were speed-enhanced, making them the best candidates for reconnaissance and harassment.

Hua Cai also discovered the abnormality of the mixed fleet of the Lingxiao Special Fleet in her busy schedule, and she immediately called Gangzi: "Isn't the mixed fleet stationed in Donglai Military Port?" Why did you run to Lingxiao Harbor? Is it that the Donglai Navy is going to start a big move. ”

After Gangzi dealt with the matter of Jiuzhuo's fleet, he immediately replied to Huacai: "Wei Yu is ready to swear, this coup is the second prince of Qingzhou, and Donglai County and Beihai County are involved. If the coup d'état of the second prince is successful, the military and political affairs of Qingzhou will be changed from defensive to offensive, and they will definitely expand to the sea if they can't use their hands on land, and I think it will be advantageous for our Lingxiao Army. ”

Hua Cai agreed: "That's right, in the past, except for the Donglai Navy, it was difficult for the development of our legion to be supported by the Qingzhou government, if Qingzhou can change its foreign policy because of this coup, it is indeed beneficial to the development of the legion, what do you think is the chance of the second prince's coup d'état?" In what way should the Sky Legion support it? ”

Gangzi said: "Although Wei Yu is full of confidence, her assumptions are all based on the fact that the king of Qingzhou has no foreign aid, and now Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou are still in a state of alliance, if the king of Qingzhou sees that he can't resist the attack of the second prince, he will definitely ask Yanzhou and Youzhou for help." Youzhou and Qingzhou have no land borders, and the navy is restrained by the Donglai navy, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being, but if Yanzhou sends troops to intervene, the second prince may not be able to resist it. So I think it's best for the legion not to publicly support the second prince in the early stage of the battle, and when the battle begins, a large number of tasks will definitely be refreshed in the two camps, and our legion will use its influence in Qingzhou to call on scattered players to help the second prince's camp. ”

Gangzi's opinion was the safest for the Lingxiao Legion, and Huacai adopted Gangzi's proposal, and when the coup began, it would be quickly conveyed to all corners of Qingzhou in the form of orders along the tentacles of the legion.

Only a few people know the news of the coup d'état in Qingzhou, and Lingxiao County is still calm and busy. As a first-class county, Lingxiao Port is larger in scale, and the good tax policy has attracted more and more players to choose the loading and unloading location of goods here, which has really robbed a lot of business in Donglai Commercial Port.

It's another quiet day, and the harbor is always filled with all kinds of miscellaneous noises, and the security officers of the Lingxiao Legion enjoy this sound very much, which represents prosperity and prosperity, and also means that the day's bonus can be received more. However, the comfort of these security officers did not last long, and the Legion Supreme Command Channel directly issued an order, "Immediately clean up the Lingxiao Harbor wharf, and the berths in the trade area must be vacated half of the empty seats." ”

"It's rare for the Combined Fleet to return home? But the military dock only stayed at this time for the Guards fleet, and there were enough berths in it to moor the combined fleet, so why clean up the commercial docks? These are the God of Wealth, it's not good to please. The vigilantes expressed their confusion, but there was no explanation, so they had to do as ordered, boarding the merchant ships on the dock one by one, and persuading the players and merchants to squeeze into another dock.

The players who are easy to talk will also let go, but there are also those who are not easy to speak: "I paid the tax and the berth fee, why do you tell me to move?" The Lingxiao Army is amazing, what's wrong with the big shop? I just won't move, what can you do with me! ”

The security officer's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to go to Tang Yao, for this enthusiastic and unscrupulous beautiful commander, the clerks below were used to asking her to help solve any difficulties.

Tang Yao came to take a look at a few dead merchant ships, looked at the time, and ordered the guards fleet on the other side: "Push out all the naval guns." Then the player who found the merchant ships said, "This part of the dock has been taken over by my Sky Guards and has become a military zone, and if you continue to stay here, we have the right to sink all ships that hinder our military operations."
