Chapter 2047 King Ning(2/2)
, if it works well, it may be able to overthrow the emperor's rule.
Li Cong squinted his eyes and thought for a while. Maybe his people were already facing off against King Ning's people. After talking to the emperor, he ordered the navy to start approaching NW Province. That was King Ning's territory. On the sea
King Ning's fleet has a lot of them. For Li Cong's navy, he is a frequent visitor to the coastal areas of the Eastern Empire. He doesn't kill people when he comes, he only robs things. We are so skilled at this, there is absolutely no chance that there will be any
If there is anything wrong, they will definitely understand what we mean.
At this moment, there is a huge fleet 300 nautical miles away from the eastern waters of the Eastern Empire. This fleet has just returned from an island in the Eastern Empire. The entire fleet has at least 300 large ships. Although these ships are related to the Cao Family Trading Company
It can't be compared to the large merchant ships, but compared with most of the ships in the Eastern Empire, they are definitely huge. Most of the merchant ships in the Eastern Empire are 300 to 500 tons, but King Ning's fleet is comparable to those of those people.
There is a very significant difference, that is, all of Ning Wang's ships are 1,000-ton class. Of course, in the eyes of people from the Cao Family Trading Company, these ships are naturally not good-looking, and they are not considered anything at all, but for
For most of the people in the Eastern Empire, they are already very good, and they are still very powerful.
The person on the ship at the moment is Yang Decai, the second steward of Prince Ning's Mansion. This guy can be said to be Prince Ning's overseas supervisor. It can be said that this guy has not been seen at sea in the past ten years. If it weren't for the comparison of these goods this time,
If it was important, he wouldn't come here. He no longer had the same enthusiasm as when he first met Prince Ning. Now he spends most of his time enjoying himself. Today, Prince Ning has issued a death order. If
If this guy doesn't do it right, he'll lose his head.
"Uncle, we are going to the mainland soon. It will only take three days at most. Let's go down below and take a rest. It has been a few days, but you have been on the deck all the time. We have been here recently.
It's very peaceful here, and we still have thousands of palace guards. Those pirates have their eyes wide open to their butts, and they probably don't dare to attack our people from Prince Ning's palace. The one on the east side was so powerful last time.
The Bajiao boss was killed by one of our guards, so it's not that big of a deal for them." It seems that the guy next to Yang Decai is also related to him, and is the nephew of one of his concubines.
Speaking of which, he can be considered a veteran at sea. As long as he is not out, this kid is always on the boat. He has not made any mistakes for so many years. But this time these things are too precious, so precious that he himself
Surprised, these are what the master wants to use to do important things in the capital, and he must not delay them.
"You know what the heck, only the two of us know what the things on the ship are. Those responsible for getting these things didn't come up. We also changed the route. What are they, those pirates? Go ahead, they are just some pirates.
Who dare to open their mouths to people from Prince Ning's Mansion? I think they are tired of living. What we are afraid of is the people from the Cao Family Trading Company, no matter what their name is. They look just like a regular trading firm, but those
These guys are all cannibals. If they are really evil, they are even darker than those pirates. If we encounter them, we will still be good. I heard that they all have long-range attacks.
Yes, although the guards on our ship are powerful, the sea is so far away, so what role can they play? If the ship sinks, how long can they hold on?" Yang Decai hit the boy on the head. This*
** knows how to talk nonsense. If someone from the Cao Family Trading Company really catches their eye, it will be impossible to leave here.
"Uncle, if you say that, I will understand. In the past, their warships often wandered around here. I have also encountered them a few times. But they just came up to have a look, unless they encountered them and wanted to
We need something, otherwise we wouldn’t ask for it. But they always ask us where we come from and where we are going. The people on our boat are pretty strict with their words. Generally speaking, no one talks too much. I heard that other people
Some of the people from the merchants chatted with them very speculatively." This guy thought of the warships of the Cao family merchants he had seen a few days ago. Those ships were really powerful. Compared with others, their ships were like small sampans.
They are the same, there is no comparison. Besides, the speed looks like a black dot from a distance. Who knows that it will be right in front of my eyes in a short time. How do these guys achieve their speed? Some of them are even faster.
There was smoke, and some people who didn't know it thought their boat was on fire. Who knows what happened, and they didn't let us go up to have a look.
"You idiots, you don't even understand this. If you are as careless as them, sooner or later our nest will be found by them. The islands in the southern sea have been occupied by them, one by one.
It's very powerful. Aren't they setting their sights here again? Of course they won't rob you now. When they find your home, they will have everything. They can still distinguish between the big fish and the small fish.
, It will definitely not go wrong, damn, I always feel that something will happen this time, but the master has taken care of it this time, and asked us to transport these things completely. Think about it, these are all treasures, sir.
That little bit is enough to kill me dozens of times, I'm so nervous." In the eyes of the ship boss, his uncle, who is considered his uncle, has not said a bad word in a long time. Today,
I don’t know what happened, but I kept saying one sentence after another. It seemed that I was really scared. After all, I have been walking on the sea for so many years. Why did I become so courageous after staying on the shore for a while?
So small?
But this kid also thought about the things on the ship. Damn it, he knew that one of the boxes was full of pearls. Damn it, they were all pearls the size of a child's fist. There was no way he could get even one out of this.
There are millions of pieces of silver in this box, at least tens of thousands of pieces. Everyone in the world knows that their master, Prince Ning, is very rich, but no one knows how much money Prince Ning has.
Yes, what happened to the master this time that he had to spend so much money?
But these things are not what they think about. As long as they can get these things back, these are things that have been on more than a dozen islands for decades. King Ning is different from other people. Those nobles think
These things must be placed in the capital and in your own hands to be considered safe. But King Ning is different. If you put them in the capital, who is the biggest in the capital? Definitely not you, that is the emperor. This time the order
He understood clearly what happened to the Fox family. It would be better to put everything on the island. Even he couldn't figure out everything there, let alone the court. In fact, everyone was looking at King Ning's ship.
The team transported large amounts of gold and silver back again and again, but what they didn't know was that a large amount of platinum was also transported back at this time. Their most important wealth, Prince Ning, was on the island. Something must have happened this time.
Otherwise, it would definitely not have been shipped back just like that.
"Boy, please keep an eye on me here first. You must not make any mistakes. As long as we see people from the Cao Family Trading Company, we will immediately turn around and return to the sea. These things cannot get into their hands. I have to
Let's go down and rest for a while. I haven't slept for a few days. I'm so tired." Yang Decai looked at the endless sea in the distance. He still has to walk for several days. He can't just watch here all the time.
, I also need a good rest for a day, otherwise I won’t be able to persist.
"Uncle, just go and rest. I'm here. Although I'm not as good at things, I still learned from them. This wind watching thing is pretty passable. Go and rest." This guy said with a smile,
In fact, Yang Decai still trusted his nephew's affairs, but the things on the ship were too valuable. If something went wrong, not to mention his own head, even the heads of the whole family might be lost.
Even though I have been with the prince for such a long time, it is not something I can afford to lose. Prince Ning really values these things.
Yang Decai nodded and gave a few more instructions before going down. In the past, he could stay here for more than ten days and nothing would happen. Who knew that things were completely different now?
My body is really useless. I can't support myself in such a short period of time. What if it takes a long time? But my master also said that this may be my last chance to go to sea. I can be honest in the future.
is in the capital. Although I don’t understand what the master means, this can be regarded as a good hope for me.
Naturally, the boss of this ship is not as careful as Yang Decai. After watching Yang Decai go down, this guy asked people to bring his grand master's chair. Are you kidding? Just standing here and watching, is there something wrong with my brain? What's in front of me?
, the weather today is surprisingly good, neither wind nor rain, just walk slowly towards the mainland, you can't see anything at all, the observers just can't be too comfortable, because they have to face
It's a very boring thing in front. If you stand by yourself, it is absolutely impossible to fall asleep. But if you have a Taishi chair, there are some people chatting and spanking with you, and the sun is so comfortable.
It would be weird if I didn't sleep. At first, I might feel like I won't fall asleep when someone is talking to me, but I will definitely fall asleep after a while, and I won't be able to keep up with the energy level.
The ship still sailed at the original speed. Three hours later, most of the people except for a few people in critical positions almost fell asleep. There was no sound at noon on the sea, and there was no voice at all. In such weather,
If you don't sleep yet, I'm really sorry for myself. Everyone is covering their heads and having sweet dreams. The reward given this time is definitely a lot. They are all thinking about how to spend it well if they go to the mainland in the future.
, who cares about the situation around them? The only few people who were not asleep were just looking at the front, and no one cared about the situation behind them.
But in the sea behind them, if they had telescopes, they would probably be able to see small black dots in the distance. Unfortunately, they don't have that thing now. Ten ships came up behind them.
In terms of quantity, it is no match for this huge fleet, but what if it is the fleet of the Cao Family Trading Company? It would be completely different, and the weapons on it are not comparable to the swords, guns and sticks here.
The thing on it can kill them with one shot, and such a wooden ship has no resistance at all.
"Colonel, the ship in front is the ship of Prince Ning's Mansion. We have been following them for two days. After receiving your order, we immediately started searching in this generation. A few days ago, we said that they had already passed by our defense area.
Now, their fleet is relatively large. Should we wait for other fleets to come to support us? As far as I know, the nearest fleet can arrive within two days." These ten warships are from the beginning of this generation.
Squadron, since the Cao Family Trading Company signed an agreement with the Eastern Empire, they separated their fleets. Most of them were composed of ten warships in a small squadron, and they began to wander around the waters of the Eastern Empire. In fact, they were
They will map out the surrounding area, and of course, they will also do some intelligence gathering. In a pinch, they can do some necessary things. A few days ago, the naval colonel above arrived at their location in an airship.
On the warship, his order was to deal with King Ning and have these warships quickly go to the nw province. If the Cao Family Trading Company wanted to directly capture the entire nw province, it would have to gather a large amount of maritime power. None of their navies were idle.
I was about to die. Now that I had a combat mission, I immediately handed over the surveying and mapping mission I was doing to the merchant navy. Anyway, even if I encounter the enemy, they can run away if they can't be beaten. There is no need for warships to follow.
, it’s better to go back quickly, if you go late, you may not be able to catch up.
"Did such a large fleet appear often before?" The colonel did not answer him, but asked this question. The colonel also had his own ideas. If this happened often, there probably wouldn't be anything important on the ship.
Things, but if they don't appear often, they must be there. This brings up the idea of taking risks. If you go to a place a day's journey from the mainland, there will be many ships, and things will not be so easy. It may be
All kinds of troubles arise.
"In the past, we would often encounter Ning Wang's ships, but each time there were only dozens of ships. It is rare to see such a large scale as this time, and in the past, it was almost the end of the year.
It only appears when the time comes. It's the middle of the year now, so it's a bit abnormal to appear." This guy has been hanging around here for a while, and he understands the situation here to some extent, and he also feels that this
This fleet is a little different, but if you don't get on board, how do you know what's different?
"At night, we will launch our small airship to investigate the surrounding area. If there are no other ships around, we will take action early tomorrow morning. We cannot wait until they are about to dock. If we take action at that time, I am afraid there will be
Other variables, let the brothers have a good rest tonight. The game of She Tun Xiang is about to begin. They will definitely have good armed forces. We must not get close. We must distinguish which ones are transporting goods.
, which ones are transporting people, directly sink the ones transporting people, we don’t have so much energy to look at those prisoners." The colonel looked at the fleet in the distance and said, the ratio of 1:25, this is definitely
This is the battle with the largest proportion among all the navies of the Cao Family Trading Company. Even if the opponent is a merchant ship, there is still a huge disparity. Look at your luck. If you win, you will set a new record. If you lose, you will just leave.
.
Later, the colonel recalled that he was really lucky to have obtained this fleet. If they were really allowed to return to the mainland, they would not know how much weight it would add to King Ning. Li Cong also started fighting with Ning because of them.
