Chapter 1128: Bombardment of Chongming Island

Chongming Island must be beaten, and he is also tempted by that secret realm. In addition, the son of the An family must be removed, he feels it, this person is unconvinced, if you don't get rid of it, I don't know when he will jump out and bite you.

Another point, which is also the fundamental purpose of his preparation for this war, is overseas trade and resources, each of the four major islands is not much smaller than the Qiankun Empire, and the area under its jurisdiction is rich in resources, as long as the trade of several forces is opened, these resources are very likely to be in their hands.

There is a more important idea in his heart, which no one has told him, that is, he wants to establish a base overseas as his secret hand.

His initial idea after coming to this world was just to fulfill his promise to Mei'er and build a modern big city.

But as his contact with the world continues to deepen, and his status continues to improve, his mind gradually changes. He doesn't have the intention of fighting for hegemony, but he must have the strength to protect himself, because what he has in his hands is extremely unsettling, just take this cannon as an example, he doesn't believe that the emperor is comfortable. Therefore, he must leave a backhand as his secret force.

Compared with deserts and ice fields, overseas is undoubtedly a better choice. And the first step is to bring out the power of the Wang family's fleet, and the deterrent power of this naval battle is still not enough.

"Yes, Chongming Island must be fought!" Jiang Xingchen nodded.

Tang Chuxue walked to Jiang Xingchen's side and said softly: "Chongming Island is not much smaller than the empire, we now have a total of dozens of ships, and there are only nineteen seven-story treasure ships, attacking such a big force......

Jiang Xingchen shook his head with a smile: "I remember telling you." If we don't go ashore, we'll block his port. Cut off their shipping! That's their lifeblood!"

Tang Chuxue said: "I also thought it made sense before, but I heard Wang Heng say it yesterday." The coastline of the main island of Chongming Island is more than 40,000 li, how can we block it?"

"Hehe, although their coastline is long, there are only ten main ports, we can fight them one by one and attack their shipyards...... If they take advantage of their size, ignore them, and we can go down the river and attack their city!"

When he said this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but think of the first Opium War in the previous life. At that time, the invaders did not have many ships, but with advanced weapons and the incompetence of the Qing government, they not only won the war, but also signed the first unequal treaty.

"I'm making up, what are you thinking, I'm fighting back, I can't call it aggression!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head vigorously.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Jiang Xingchen's strange appearance, Tang Chuxue asked with concern, and a delicate hand touched his forehead.

"I'm fine!" Jiang Xingchen smiled. subconsciously shrank his head back and said, "Don't worry, this battle will definitely be won, otherwise we won't lose too much." ”

Jiang Xingchen subconsciously dodged. Tang Chuxue's heart sank slightly. But she immediately adjusted her mentality and said with a smile: "It's still a loss, a Yuan Stone Mine with more than four million reserves is enough for you to fight twenty such naval battles!"

"That's just the money for the life of the king of Sizhou Island!" Jiang Xingchen smiled. He said: "I don't think that this naval battle was made up by the heirs of the three major islands, and they can't get rid of it if they want to! I'm really sorry for myself not to take advantage of the opportunity to knock them!"

Tang Chuxue pursed her lips. "No wonder the old immortal says that you are insidious......"

Before she finished her words, Wang Heng ran over. He said loudly: "Sir, Sizhou Island has sent a letter, and I want to redeem those masters, including those two Yuan Qi Sixth Layers!"

Jiang Xingchen smiled and nodded: "Sue them, you can come over to negotiate at any time......

The Wang family's fleet is gradually approaching Chongming Island, the fleet of Linhai City transporting ammunition supplies has also set off, and the Moji enemy on Sizhou Island has also sent its own envoys!

In mid-March, the Wang fleet finally arrived off the coast of Chongming Island. At this time, the transport fleet also caught up from behind, and the large quantities of supplies brought were distributed to the ships.

The sailors of the Wang family's fleet didn't know if they were addicted, and when they saw a large number of shells coming, they were like beating the blood of wild pheasants, and they screamed excitedly.

As soon as the transport fleet returned home after handing over the goods, the envoy sent by Sizhou Island arrived.

Seeing Jiang Xingchen, the envoy from Sizhou Island looked very nervous, and his speech was a little unfavorable: "Jiang ...... Lord Jiang, I'm ...... It's here to redeem ......"

"Redeem a few of your masters on Sizhou Island, no problem! 200,000 yuan stone, there are four people in total, and there are two masters of the sixth layer of vitality!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand, a little impatient.

"Okay! No problem!" The envoy nodded immediately, this was somewhat unexpected by Jiang Xingchen, he just shouted the price casually, thinking that the other party must be negotiating, but he didn't expect that the other party agreed without hesitation.

Slightly stunned, Jiang Xingchen didn't think much about it, nodded and asked people to bring out the two masters of the sixth layer of vitality first, and the other two were caught stealing the railroad tracks, and they are still under pressure in the Xingchen Collar.

However, to Jiang Xingchen's surprise, these two masters actually begged him to treat Mo Yun well, otherwise they would rather not leave. This made him very surprised, someone like Mo Yun actually had someone like this to protect him, and he was still a sixth-layer master of Yuan Qi.

"You are the sixth-level cultivator of Yuan Qi, and you are all a number of people on the mainland. If you stay here, your cultivation will be sealed for a long time, and you don't need to tell me the consequences, you also know!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly.

The two of them just shook their heads silently and stopped talking. It seems that if Jiang Xingchen doesn't agree, they are really willing to give up this opportunity.

Jiang Xingchen frowned, turned his head to look at Tang Chuxue, the previous battle with Chongming Ancestor resurfaced, and secretly said in his heart: "In order to protect me, she also gave up her life!"

Then another image appeared in his mind, it was when he faced the white-eyed poisonous ape. Mei'er is also desperate to protect herself!

"Sir...... Lord Jiang!" The messenger's voice came into his ears, waking him up from his trance.

Jiang Xingchen glanced deeply at the two masters, and was about to speak, when the sailors on the lookout shouted: "Sir, there is a port ahead! It is estimated that it will be less than twenty miles...... This port is so big, there are at least fifty seven-story treasure ships parked in it......"

Jiang Xingchen waved his hand at the envoy of Sizhou Island, and said lightly: "You wait first!"

As he spoke, he turned around and took out his binoculars, stood on the bow of the ship and looked into the distance, and sure enough, a port appeared clearly.

"Order, the fleet will reduce its speed, turn the bow, and aim the side of the ship at the port!" Jiang Xingchen ordered loudly.

At the sound of an order, the sailors on the lookout began to wave their flags, and soon the fleet was lined up according to Jiang Xingchen's order.

The envoy of Sizhou Island and the two sixth-level masters of Yuan Qi were stunned, and the command and dispatch were too fast. It's just that the people on the lookout wave the flag, can the people on the other boats see it?

Also, what is the long cylinder that the sailor on the lookout and Jiang Xingchen are holding in their hands, how can they see the harbor ahead. They can only see vague shadows.

Jiang Xingchen glanced at the envoy and the two masters, and continued to order: "The head ship fires a salvo of two cannons, pay attention to avoiding the personnel!"

The black cloth covered with cannons on the bow of the ship was pulled down, and the six sailors began to get busy. The envoy of Sizhou Island widened his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Is this that kind of new weapon? It can really fight for more than ten miles......

Just as he was still thinking about it, there was a sudden loud bang, which frightened his legs and almost fell on the deck......

Just when the Wang family's fleet fired the first shot towards the harbor of Chongming Island, the main city of Chongming Island was still in chaos. The elders are busy vying for power.

The naval battle planned by the son of the An family did not lead to the high-level on the island. He wanted to make a splash and then regain his position as the son of the world, so the presbyterian council didn't know about it before on the island, except for him Lao Tzu, the head of the family.

Until the news of the big war suddenly broke out, it was like dropping a huge super bomb on Chongming Island, and everyone was stunned.

The defeat of the An family, the loss of the fleet, personnel, and materials is nothing. But Chongming Ancestor was killed, which was too big a blow for them. The ninth layer of vitality, there is only one in the whole world, and there is such a great god Chongming Island overseas, and he can definitely suppress other forces overseas.

They all remembered the way all the An family members cheered in unison after the ancestor came back and announced his promotion to the ninth layer of Yuan Qi!

But they haven't enjoyed the benefits of super force, Chongming Ancestor is dead, how can they stand such a result.

"Is Old Ancestor confused, why is he hiding it from us like that bastard?" the people of the Council of Elders roared afterwards, and then pointed all the fingers at the An family master!

"Your son has made such a big mistake, and you, as the head of the family, know that you don't inform the presbyterian church. This battle failed, the ancestor died, you can't escape the blame!"

"That's right, it was the same last time, and nearly a thousand of our masters were beheaded!"

"Give up your son, and he must pay for his sins with death......"

In the face of the elders' criticism, the head of the An family was silent. The ancestor was dead, his son was missing, and he was hit harder than anyone else.

Before this big battle, he was full of confidence, and with a bomb and a new launcher, the range was 1,200 meters, and he felt that he had won. But he never expected that what he was waiting for in the end was not good news, but a huge earthquake.

For more than ten days, he had to face accusations and abuse from the elders every day, and this time even the elders who had always supported him no longer helped him, and they couldn't help him, and it was basically a foregone conclusion that he would take the position of the head of his family. Although it has not been officially announced, in fact, the power of his family head has been hollowed out by the elders, and everyone is busy fighting for their own interests.

And when the An family and the others were fighting for power and profit, they couldn't imagine that Jiang Xingchen's Wang family's fleet had already reached the gate, and their overseas trade would be completely blocked and strangled......!
