Luo Shiji of Dugi Province felt the recent changes, Gyeonggi Province continued to send news that the northern captives were increasing their troops and preparing to go south, and Yuan Zhang of Henan Province gradually began to withdraw the soldiers and horses scattered everywhere, but he was still calm, he believed that with Zhou Bofu and Pan Fengzai, plus the soldiers and horses from Jiazhou support, relying on the fortifications built during this time, he could definitely block the two sides of the northern captives.

"Let's let these northern captives hit their heads and break the blood flow in Dugi Province!" Luo Shiji said proudly that now without those civil officials holding him back, he is absolutely confident that he can complete this important task with his own ability.

"I'm afraid that they won't dare to come, and they will kill as many as they come!" Zhou Bofu and Pan Feng looked at each other and laughed, there were few wars during this time, and the two of them had long been suffocated, and now they heard that there was a large army going south, and their hearts were already happy.

Luo Shiji wished that the enemy would come over as soon as possible, but in the Yue Wang's Mansion in Jiangnan Dongdao, Zheng Feihuang and the others were worried, "Have you inquired clearly?" Is it really coming towards us? Didn't you go north to attack Henan Province? "They are conceited and don't have the ability to fight Li You, so they can only hope for this.

"If you attack Henan Road, where is the use of Qiantang. Besides, Qian Hua led the army to the sea to clean up pirates many times before, wasn't it just to train sailors? Zheng Feihuang frowned, as soon as he remembered the news that those spies had brought back, he felt his scalp tingle for a while, could they really stop such a fleet?

"I said a long time ago that I should take advantage of the fact that Qian Hua's sailors were not successful, sail north to attack Qiantang and burn their warships, if you don't listen, I'm afraid we can only wait here to die now." Yan Zhenquan grumbled.

"If Qiantang had been attacked at the beginning, I'm afraid that Jiangnan Dongdao would have been eroded by now!" Wang Wufeng retorted, of course they have the strength to destroy Qian Hua's sailors who have not yet taken shape, but if they anger Li You, they will not have the slightest way to resist when they march from three sides by land, these people are from maritime merchants after all, and the consequences of destroying Qian Hua's sailors are unbearable, so they have to give up, praying that Li You can temporarily give up his plan to attack Jiangnan Dongdao for other reasons.

Of course, they did not have no countermeasures, when Qian Hua led the sailors to go to sea to exterminate the pirates, they had sent their ships and capable men to pretend to be pirates to help, hoping to hit Qian Hua's sailors hard, so as to win more buffer time for themselves, but unfortunately those good hands who have been crisscrossing the sea for many years have fallen under the fire of the treasure ship, even if they are lucky enough to escape the attack of the artillery fire and rush to the vicinity of the treasure ship, there is no way to take those towering treasure ships, and those jumping gang masters can't climb up at all, He could only be killed one by one by the soldiers on the treasure ship with bows and crossbows.

"The decision not to attack Qiantang was made by us together, so what's the use of talking about it now? Why don't you figure out how to deal with it? Zheng Feihuang played a round game, they knew the importance of it better than those officials who were still fighting until they were dying, and they put aside the dispute and discussed countermeasures.

"Now there are hundreds of ships and more than 20,000 soldiers in the sailors, I don't know if they can beat Qian Hua's sailors?" Yan Zhenquan looked bitter and didn't seem to have much confidence.

"The ships that went to sea the first few times have not returned, and those sailors have long been suspicious, if Qian Hua's sailors approach, I am afraid that many people will flee without a fight." Wang Wufeng is also not optimistic about the outcome of this battle, "I'm afraid that these ships we have now won't be able to stop Qian Hua, why don't we ask for help from the East China Sea Island, let their fleet rush for a while, and when they and Qian Hua are both defeated, we will take advantage of the fisherman?" ”

"I'm afraid these dwarves are going to open their mouths again." Zheng Feihuang said disdainfully, "What's more, their ships are even more dilapidated than ours, how long can they stop Qian Hua?" ”

"You can earn it again when the money is gone, but if the sailor is finished, we will be all finished!" Wang Wufeng's family fortune is tens of millions, but he is not a stingy person, he is more generous than anyone else when it is time to pay, "Although they can't win Qian Hua, but the arrows and gunpowder that can consume some Qian Hua are always good, and it is better than our people to send them to death." ”

Although the spies of Jiangnan Dongdao could not find out the manufacturing methods of treasure ships and cannons, they could still do it with a little inquiry, so Zheng Feihuang and Wang Wufeng and others already knew that the roars in the past were the cannons on Qian Hua's ship using gunpowder to fire cannonballs, and they also found many craftsmen to study, but unfortunately many lives were lost and not much progress has been made.

"That's better than doing nothing here." Zheng Feihuang nodded in agreement, and he quickly calculated the cost of this move, "If you want Donghai Daoyi to dispatch more than half of the sailors, you have to have ten boats of silk, twenty ships of tea, and porcelain, and I will pay forty percent of these costs." ”

"Thirty percent of it is mine." Wang Wufeng followed, the king of Yue was just a pretense, the power and wealth of the Jiangnan East Province were still in the hands of their maritime merchants, although they were now taking money from their own pockets, but as long as the battle could be won, then these expenses could be earned back several times or more than ten times.

"I'll give 20%, and let those little maritime merchants divide the rest, so they can't not come out at all." Yan Zhenquan also recognized part of it, they knew the amount of their family wealth in each other's hearts, and they couldn't hide it from others.

"Okay, I've always thought about what to do when I make money, but how to recover my losses, and now that the war is ready, it's time to discuss what to do if I lose." The matter of spending money to invite the sailors of Donghai Daoyi to go out has been decided, and then naturally someone will prepare the goods and contact Daoyi, and Zheng Feihuang discussed another matter.

"If we lose at sea, we won't be able to hold out for long even if we resist stubbornly on land." Maritime trade is highly profitable and risky, and they are used to preparing for the worst.

"Yes, instead of fighting desperately with Uncle Jiazhou and beating Jiangnan Dongdao to pieces, it is better to surrender as soon as possible to preserve this prosperity, Uncle Jiazhou is not a cruel person who is easy to kill, maybe as long as we sacrifice King Yue, we can still keep this family business, right?" Although Wang Wufeng also began to consider surrendering before the war, he was very different from those officials in the capital of Great Wei in the past.

"In that case, then we will send another group of envoys to Qiantang to meet this Taiwei, if the conditions are right, we will surrender, it is always good to lose fewer ships." Seeing that the others didn't seem to have any intention of objecting, Zheng Feihuang made a decision, those ships of the sailor were the lifeblood of their fortune, and they were still a little reluctant to let them be destroyed.
