I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

brush!

As soon as this news came out, the navy generals in the hall immediately stood up nervously.

Only Jin Wang Chen Huaian, who was looking at the navigation chart, immediately marked the coordinates of the Dragon City Navy fleet on the navigation chart.

Then, he moved his fingers towards the coastline, and suddenly he had a plan in his mind.

On that side of the coastline is the coastal area of ​​Shandong, separated by a sea from the Goguryeo Peninsula.

In this area, several groups of pirates composed of Japanese warriors, ronin and merchants appeared all year round, harassing the people along the coast of Shandong, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

You don't need to think about it to know that the unknown ships that appear on the southward route of the Dragon City Navy fleet are most likely to be pirates and bandits.

At this time, Qi Jiguang, the admiral of the navy, immediately asked the messenger: "Are the ships that appear in the waterway of our Dragon City Navy fleet fishermen going out to sea to fish?"

The messenger replied: "Reporting to the Grand Governor, the fleets of both sides are far apart, and the identity of the other's ship cannot be confirmed yet!"

"General Qi, no need to confirm!"

Chen Huaian threw the brush in his hand onto the nautical chart and said with a smile: "What can attract the attention of naval officers and soldiers will definitely not be ordinary fishing boats;"

"If I guess correctly, they should be Japanese pirates!"

pirate?

Upon hearing this word, the expressions of all the navy generals present suddenly froze, and their expressions became visibly nervous.

Chen Huaian continued: "Everyone, there is no need to waste time here. Follow me to the deck to see if it is a Japanese pirate. You will know it once you verify it!"

After saying that, Chen Huaian was the first to walk out of the cabin.

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang hesitated for a moment and followed him.

The rest of the navy generals also stood up and followed the steps of His Royal Highness Prince Jin and the Navy Admiral, leaving the cabin and heading to the deck.

at the same time.

This group of ships appeared in the Yellow Sea. On the big ship at the bow, a Japanese pirate with a sanitary beard also discovered the Longcheng Navy fleet sailing from north to south.

As Chen Huaian expected, this fleet of more than thirty ships was one of several Japanese pirates active in the Goguryeo Peninsula and the coastal waters of Shandong.

The leader of the group, a Japanese pirate with a mustache, named Sakai Takaaki, was a low-level fishmonger who was born in Osaka.

This man was very brave and ruthless by nature. Seeing that he was tired of fishing but could not earn much money, he simply got involved with a group of fishermen from the same village and started piracy.

Originally, these Japanese pirates were just engaging in small-time activities in coastal areas.

However, as the new second emperor Zhao Qianyujia, who was very happy about his success, went on a personal expedition and transferred the 200,000 Japanese soldiers who had been stationed along the coast of Shandong all year round, these Japanese pirates became more and more courageous.

In fact, they were no longer satisfied with looting coastal villages, but planned to take advantage of the civil strife in the New Dynasty to extend their evil claws to coastal counties and cities.

After all, there are many more wealthy people in counties and cities than in small coastal fishing villages, and there is much more gold, silver, money, food, and women for these Japanese pirates to plunder.

Today is the day when this group of Japanese pirates prepare to go ashore and loot the coastal city of Jiaozhou.

For this reason, Sakai Takaaki, the pirate leader, entangled more than 5,000 Japanese pirates, sailed more than 30 ships, and carried a large number of weapons and arrows, just to capture Jiaozhou City in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Sakai Takaaki probably didn't check the almanac before going out, so he encountered the Dragon City Navy fleet fighting south. It was still equipped with artillery, which was enough to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes against various navy and pirates at the same time.

"Chief, ahead, an unidentified fleet was discovered ahead!"

At this time, a small leader of the Japanese pirates approached the leader Sakai Gao Ming and said in a panic: "Chief, this, can't this be the naval fleet of the Great New Dynasty?"

"Their warships look much taller than ours!"

"Bagaya road!"

Sakai Takaaki cursed angrily and continued: "I am not blind, I can see!"

Hi!

The little leader of the Japanese pirates had no temper at all after being scolded, and he had to bow respectfully in front of the leader Sakai Takaaki.

"Report——"

"Chief, the captains of each ship are raising flags and asking what to do if they encounter an unidentified fleet?"

At this time, the Japanese pirate who was responsible for the report also hurriedly reported the intelligence just received by the flagman to the fleet leader Sakai Takaaki.

idiot!

Sakai Takaaki spat angrily and shouted impatiently: "What's the rush? Let them all wait for me. I will make my own decision on how to deal with it!"

Hi!

The little guy who was responsible for delivering the order left in a hurry and found the flag bearer on the ship to convey the leader's order to other ships.

Sakai Gaoming half-squinted his eyes as he looked at the approaching Dragon City navy fleet, with a greedy look in his lewd eyes.

In particular, when Sakai Takaaki saw the super warship "The Japanese Destroyer" that Chen Huaian was riding on, he couldn't take his eyes away.

Looking at the huge hull of the "Japanese Exterminator", and then looking at the eye-catching four-clawed yellow dragon flag flying above, and the majestic and oppressive wooden dragon head on the bow;

Sakai Takaaki couldn't help but smacked his lips and said: "One day, this leader must try his best to get this treasure ship!"

Of course, the soldiers who were already vaguely visible on the deck of the treasure ship, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, also caught Sakai Gaoming's eyes.

When he coveted the treasure ship as his own, he had to weigh his own wealth and see if he had such good teeth and could swallow such a huge fleet!

the other side.

Chen Huaian, who was standing on the deck of the "Japanese Destroyer" warship, could almost confirm with his naked eyes that the identity of the unknown fleet in front of him was pirates.

However, in line with the attitude of catching thieves and stolen goods, he still ordered the navy officers and soldiers to send small boats to board the ship for inspection.

Chen Huaian ordered: "General Qi, please pass on this king's order to send a small boat to identify yourself, board the ship for inspection, and all other warships will surround you to prevent the Japanese pirates from escaping!"

"The general will get the order!"

Soon, after receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy released the small boat from the "Japanese Destroyer" warship. A group of fully armed navy officers and soldiers quickly boarded the ship and quickly paddled towards the unidentified fleet ahead.

At the same time, the remaining warships of the Longcheng Navy fleet also began to line up in battle formation and accelerated towards the fleet ahead.

"Chief, it's not good!"

"The fleet in front has released a small boat. It seems that they are preparing to board the ship for inspection. What should we do, leader?"
