Chapter 1100: Yingzhou is the foundation of the prince, and it is also a retreat
Zhu Kang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
There's never been a better time to do it.
There was a war in the north of the DPRK, and there was a disturbance in the Red Lotus Sect inside, and the situation in Hedong and northern Shaanxi became more and more severe, especially in northern Shaanxi.
The only fly in the ointment is that the situation in Hedong has been alleviated, Changjin County, which should have been taken, has not been taken, and the chaos in Ezhou and the exchange has also not been launched.
Fortunately, these are not the decisive factors, and it is not without other gains, so many red-clothed cannons are enough to make up for these losses, as long as Jinling is taken and Jiangnan is taken, then the general trend of leaving the DPRK is gone.
Now is the best time to take Jinling.
Seeing this, the entourage hurriedly said, "Go back to the king, it's almost over!" In half an hour, the red-clad cannon will arrive. ”
"Good!"
Zhu Kang was overjoyed when he heard this, and a flash of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he has not really seen the power of the red-coated cannon, but the information from below has shown that the red-coated cannon is infinitely powerful.
Judging from the current record, this is indeed the case, which makes him a little expectant and a little nervous.
Looking forward to it is because of such an artifact, once it is held in his hand, it will definitely be easy to capture Jinling, and the nervousness is because that person can actually create such an artifact, so how many such artifacts are there in the southwest?
And are there any other artifacts that you don't know about?
Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
If it was in the face of other people, he would definitely not be so unsettled, just because that person was his former husband, the first talent in the world.
There are too many legendary deeds that happened to each other, and any possibility does not seem strange to put on the other party, so ......
"Your Majesty!"
Just when Zhu Kang was thinking about it, another soldier came quickly, and his expression seemed to be a little hurried.
Seeing this, Zhu Kang snorted: "When are you in such a hurry, has the red-coated cannon arrived?" ”
The soldier froze for a moment, and hurriedly said: "King Qiqi, it's not a red-clothed cannon, but a ...... It's ......"
"What does it look like, if you have something to say!"
Zhu Kang's face was slightly gloomy, and he seemed a little displeased.
The soldier didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Yes...... It was news from Yingzhou, saying that the Southwest Navy Division fleet had been discovered and was heading towards Yingzhou. ”
What?
Zhu Kang's face changed, a flash of incredulity flashed in his eyes, and he asked urgently, "How many are there?" Where are we now? ”
The soldier hurriedly said: "A lot! The Qinzhou and Sizhou have gone, as well as no less than thirty other warships, and they are already approaching Yingzhou. ”
"How can it be so fast?"
Zhu Kang blurted out, "Didn't this king let you keep an eye on Qinzhou, there is movement over there, and the news should come as soon as possible." ”
The soldier's face froze, and he said: "The subordinates did arrange for people to keep an eye on Qinzhou, but Wang Shang mobilized pirates to assist the Red Lotus Sect in capturing Changjin County, and then mobilized manpower to capture Jiangnan, so there are fewer people over there." ”
"Qinzhou is extremely cunning, they often go to sea for training, and this time they want to go to sea for training as usual, but for some reason they suddenly appeared in the waters of Yingzhou."
“……”
"Rice bucket! It's a rice bucket! Such a large fleet could not even keep an eye on it. ”
Zhu Kang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, this is not a trivial matter, Yingzhou is the most important thing for him, and he relies on the foundation of strength.
Without Yingzhou, no matter how much he develops, he is at most a pirate, and he is a bigger pirate, but with Yingzhou, it is different, he has a foundation, and he no longer has to float on the sea.
At the same time, it also has the backing, and a steady stream of food production and soldiers.
Over the years, he has been working hard to develop, making a lot of money by trafficking in illicit salt and Tianzhu hemp, and he has been quite low-key in the territory of Lichao, all for the purpose of planning Yingzhou.
Because he understands that floating on the sea is a tree without roots, and it will never become a climate, and only his own territory, a vast territory, can go further.
And on this endless ocean, Yingzhou is his best choice, for this choice, he tried his best, but fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes.
But at this moment, the Southwest Water Division actually appeared near Yingzhou.
At this juncture, he naturally wouldn't believe that it was a coincidence, even if it was a coincidence, it was impossible for dozens of large and small warships to appear at the same time, which was obviously prepared.
Mr. Shuijing naturally understood this, and his face sank slightly at this moment, and said: "What a talented man in the world, he is quiet on the surface, but he is going straight to Yingzhou behind his back, and now Yingzhou is empty, and he is only afraid of ...... once he encounters an invasion."
He had a worried look on his face.
There were several generals on the side, one of whom said: "Even so, there is no need to be afraid, Yingzhou has a vast territory, and the strength of the Southwest Water Division is limited, and it is a fool's dream to take Yingzhou." ”
Yingzhou is nearly the size of a province, and the territory is vast, and the strength of the Southwest Navy Division Battalion is full, so it is almost impossible to land on the sea.
If you don't land, you won't be able to take Yingzhou, and as long as you can't take it, then it's not a big problem.
Zhu Kang also thinks so, don't look at the number of his Lotus Water Divisions is not much more than the Southwest Water Division, but he did not rely entirely on the Lotus Water Division to win Yingzhou, but on years of planning.
Cultivating the forces on Yingzhou Island, so that the inside and outside should cooperate, only then did they succeed in taking Yingzhou, even so, when they really took Yingzhou, there were countless pirates to help them.
The Southwest Navy Division Battalion has so many troops, and without prior arrangements and planning, it is impossible to take Yingzhou like this.
Zhu Kang is sure, it's just ......
Mr. Shui Jing obviously had the same concern, and said: "It is indeed not easy to take Yingzhou, but if the Southwest Water Division Battalion is equipped with enough red-coated cannons, it will be killed in one blow, and I am afraid that the hearts of the people who have just been gathered will ......."
The corners of Zhu Kang's eyes twitched slightly.
This is what he is most worried about, it has not been long since he took Yingzhou, and the people's hearts are unstable, although he left henchmen on the island on this trip, but under the bombardment of the red-clothed cannon, those henchmen will not talk about it, how much loyalty those people on Yingzhou Island will have to him, it is definitely debatable.
It is not difficult to choose whether to surrender to a master with a bow and arrow, or to surrender to a master with a red-clothed cannon.
Especially when Yingzhou was recovered not long ago, how could Zhu Kang not be worried, and his face became iron-blue.
However, he was still calm, looked at Mr. Shui Jing and asked, "What does Mr. think now?" ”
Mr. Shui Jing pondered for a long time and said: "Yingzhou is not only the foundation of the son, but also the retreat of the son. ”
This is very clear, Yingzhou is here, and the group has a way out.
And once Yingzhou is lost, then the group will have no way to retreat, so they can only go to the black one way, take Jiangnan, and then go all the way north until they conquer the world.
But is it really that simple?
