Since Zhao Gao is preparing to form a fleet, it is not a small fight, China's navigation technology in this historical stage, put into the world is also a bug-level existence, whether it is shipbuilding technology or navigation technology, is not any other country can match.

Zheng He's treasure ship is known as a giant ship, with a length of 44 zhang and a width of 18 zhang, which is equivalent to a modern hull of about 138 meters long and 56 meters wide, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. In front of such a huge ship, the boats of the Wako can only be regarded as small sampans, and there is no need to fight at all, they drive directly past it, and the waves set off are enough to capsize the ship.

It is not easy to build such a ship, in addition to the drawings sent out from the palace with the holy decree, there are thousands of shipbuilders in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after two years, a total of two large ships and seven or eight small treasure ships were built, and almost everyone has worked tirelessly day and night.

As for the source of shipbuilding costs, Zhao Gao has not been idle in the past two years, with the right to "decide on coastal affairs", it is equivalent to having the exclusive and legal right to maritime trade, and a random ship of spices on Luzon Island was immediately robbed when it arrived in Daming.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing would not be at ease with Zhao Gao, and according to the rules, he specially sent a eunuch to monitor Zhao Gao's words and deeds, but under the pervasive corrosive methods of Zhao Gao's new era, this eunuch turned a blind eye before surviving a month.

As for the spies in the shadows, Zhao Gao didn't bother to care about them, anyway, what he did so far can be called above board, and he deliberately wiped a fraction of the silver taels in his hands and took them by himself before offering them to the emperor, adding a small stain to himself, and at the same time, the silver taels handed over in the first year only reached half of the chapter, and he was reprimanded by the emperor.

However, reprimand is not necessarily a kind of trust, only those with shortcomings are worth reusing, Emperor Jiajing reused the greedy and lustful Yan Song for 20 years, and this is what he likes.

Therefore, Zhao Gao's authority was not weakened in any way, after all, 500,000 taels of silver was not a small amount. In particular, Zhao Gao's ginseng and sea dog powder according to modern Chinese medicine is comparable to Viagra, which can greatly improve the emperor's mental power and ability in a certain aspect.

The emperor is also hard, the three thousand beauties are waiting to be fed, and they feel that their legs are weak when they think about it, and this kind of medicinal powder with small side effects is far less harmful than the elixir of heavy metals, and Zhao Gao has no psychological burden.

In the tenth year of Jiajing, that is, the eighth year of Zhao Gao's entry into the plot world, the Ming fleet was finally successfully formed. In the past two years, with the secret help of Lao Ba, Zhao Gao also trained a group of navies with small ships, and when the treasure ship got out of the sea, it immediately formed a huge threat to all the surrounding pirates.

The reason why the Japanese are arrogant is not because of how high their combat effectiveness is, but purely because the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to pursue them in the near sea, and even some ruffians who have broken the law can avoid the pursuit of the imperial court by rowing a small boat. Now Zhao Gao has directly climbed the science and technology tree, and directly lit up the original technology of the Ming Dynasty, under the pressure of the huge gap in the times, the strength of the Japanese is basically negligible.

Often, the Japanese gathered dozens or even hundreds of warships, and Zheng He's treasure ship didn't care about it at all, and drove straight towards the flagship of the bandit leader, and after a while, there was only a pile of scattered small wooden planks and fluttering Japanese pirates on the sea.

Of course, there is still a difference of 108,000 miles between Zhao Gao's so-called fleet and the one built by Zheng He with the strength of the whole country, and Zheng He led more than 200 medium-sized treasure ships at that time.

Zhao Gao is naturally not so domineering, people are the official etiquette team that promotes the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gao pays attention to strength, on the first day of entering the sea, he told all the people who eat at sea, as long as they meet, there are only two options: surrender and death.

In other words, Zhao Gao, who had the treasure ship in hand, immediately changed from the original merchant to a robber, and the money from trade and other activities was fast, but it was still much worse than robbery, which was completely unprofitable.

Zhao Gao not only robbed money, but also robbed people and ships. All the Japanese who surrendered to Cheng immediately sent a wing army to escort them on board, and from then on became a vassal of the Ming fleet.

A steady stream of treasures was transported back to the imperial court by Zhao Gao, and a steady stream of supplies and personnel were replenished from the Ming Dynasty, and the number of treasure ships was gradually increasing.

So in the next two years, the Ming fleet was also expanding at an irrational speed. As long as it surrendered, whether it was voluntarily or forced, Zhao Gao chose to accept it, and in a short period of time, he completed the incorporation of all the Japanese along the coast.

Zhao Gao's actions seem to be particularly hasty and anxious, half of the time in the plot world has passed, and if you want to have extraordinary gains, you need to use extraordinary means.

From the very beginning, he fed his war by war, and whenever he encountered a Japanese enemy, whether it was a brigade or a small branch, he either surrendered or died, and the continuous process of integration allowed him to go from the original two treasure ships to four (freshly built) and thousands of other ships in a short time.

These ships were all brought by the Wakos, and they followed behind the huge treasure ships in descending order, making the entire fleet look like tadpoles with extra-long tails.

Of course, the surrendered widows were not fuel-efficient lamps, but Zhao Gao's methods of dealing with them were so brutal that they could not be imagined. Whoever disobeys the order a little bit is basically thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish, the first time he did this, several ships were in an uproar, but when Zhao Gao drove the treasure ship to chase these ships one by one and crush them, and the crew members were all thrown into the sea, the opposition suddenly became much smaller.

The second time, the third time, the Nth time, the opposition was completely gone.

Anyway, you all have to listen to me, because you can't beat me, and you can't escape - Zhao Gao's logic is more robber than a robber, but it's still a fact, so the widows who can survive are honest, or pretend to be honest.

Of course, Zhao Gao is not blindly pressurized, although he can no longer rob the coast of Daming, under the guidance of Zhao Gao, there are actually not a lot of rare treasures on these islands in Luzon, and the resistance ability of the tribes on these islands is a few levels worse than that of Daming.

Zhao Gao used this snowball to expand, and became the king of all the Japanese in the strongest way.

Lao Ba claimed to have hundreds of ships back then, and the army of 100,000 was of course bragging. At the height of their infested exploitation, all the pirates did not necessarily add up to this number. Uniting everyone, including Lao Ba's pirate group, Zhao Gao's army is close to 80,000, and there is no chance of winning against the Ming army, but if it is against those small countries in the South China Sea, Zhao Gao's order is better than anything else.

It's just that Zhao Gao is much more vicious than the average pirates, as soon as the army arrives, it will be a battle to destroy the country, anyway, he doesn't feel distressed about the more pirates who die, at least until now, he is not sure whether he has completed the task or become the biggest pirate leader, since the ark space has not given corresponding hints, he will find a way to wipe out all the pirates little by little.

War is the best way to go. Every time the last force in Yizhou or Luzon is destroyed, there will be many casualties, this is also a process of military training, from the initial target tribe to a small country, and after all the success of the country, the Japanese army under his command has also received preliminary training, and then brought back to the Japanese mainland, is a decisive force of the army.

In the twelfth year of Jiajing, Zhao Gao, commander of the Ming fleet, led 30,000 navies, mainly adapted from the Japanese Invaders, to officially invade Japan.
