Iron Dynasty

"Battleship?"

Niu Ben’s proposal made Xiao Ming nod his head gently. Although the water was not wide, the three battleships of Yue Yunnan were more than enough to pass through it. After all, these three battleships were only Tier 5 battleships, only quite The size of ordinary merchant ships.

"This is a way, but at present these warships are cruising in the sea. This king needs to summon them." Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.

The city of Pengzhou on the sand table was built along the water. You can only enter Pengzhou City through the wooden bridge in front of the door, but at that time, the army in Pengzhou City will inevitably tear down the bridge.

At this time, the three warships cruising in the river can transport soldiers to the opposite side and provide artillery attack.

"It's not a matter of course. It will take some time for the tri-state army to gather and train." Niu Ben said happily. He has been thinking of fighting ships, because the more you go to the south, the more cities will be built by the water. The navy provided protection and they couldn't even cross the river at all.

While everyone was watching the sand table, a guard walked in from outside and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, the envoy of King Wei has arrived."

Lu Fei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, does King Wei regret it and want to form an alliance with His Highness."

"Wei Wang is ambitious, but he won't give in to His Highness so easily. Maybe he has some bad water." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming frowned, and he said, "You will know when the king has gone. You continue to watch the sand table and make a battle plan, and then submit the plan to this king for review."

"Yes, Your Highness." Niu Ben's generals responded.

After all, Xiao Ming followed the guards towards the Qi Palace, and a middle-aged scribe was waiting for him in the main hall of the Palace.

Seeing Xiao Ming, the middle-aged scribes saluted and said: "His Royal Highness, this time the official is appointed by King Wei, and wants to talk to His Highness about Tongzhou."

"Tongzhou?" Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed, thinking that the things that should come are still coming, he knew that King Wei would make a fuss about Tongzhou.

Sitting down in the main seat, he said: "Wang Wei has any ideas, just say it."

The middle-aged scribe said: "His Royal Highness said that as the chaos is going on today, both the royal clan should support each other. Therefore, His Royal Highness is willing to continue to provide supplies for the Qingzhou battleship, but hopes that His Highness can use 20,000 matchlock guns and 300 doors. The artillery is a hire fee."

"Wang Wei can really speak loudly." Xiao Ming snorted, and he said, "What if this king doesn't agree?"

"Then King Wei can't continue to provide supplies for His Highness in Tongzhou, I hope His Highness will think twice." The middle-aged scribe said lightly, "Your Highness, if you lose the Tongzhou Port, it will be difficult for this battleship to go south."

The arrogant tone of the middle-aged scribe caused Xiao Ming to go into flames. He hated being threatened by others the most. As a result, he had to teach King Wei even more to let him know how high the sky was and how thick the ground was.

He said: "Go back and tell King Wei that if he stops supplying Tongzhou, this king will definitely make him pay."

Xiao Ming's tone was stern, and the middle-aged scribes were taken aback. This time he came to Wang Wei with confidence. After all, Tongzhou was in Wei Di, and Xiao Ming had nothing to do.

"His Royal Highness, you have to weigh the pros and cons clearly." The middle-aged scribe did not expect Xiao Ming to be so tough, and for a while he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Ming stood up at this time and said to the middle-aged scribes: "This king has considered very clearly, you go back and tell King Wei that this king remembers the battle of Cangzhou, and this king also remembers the battle of Jizhou. Now he does not study the royal family. The love of the clan and the refusal to form an alliance, this king has done his best to him. From then on, he does not have to keep hands with this king, and this king will not keep hands with him."

The middle-aged scribes were still very calm, but now Xiao Ming's words completely scared him. In his opinion, Xiao Ming is officially starting a war against Wei Wang.

Xiaguan...Xiaguan retired. "Touched a gray nose, the middle-aged scribe wiped the sweat bead on his forehead, and walked out without turning his head. He was afraid that Xiao Ming would take it to kill the flag when he left.

After sending away the envoy of King Wei, Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed. Originally, he still had a fascination with King Wei, but now King Wei's face completely disappointed him.

Moreover, he is not the predecessor Xiao Ming, but he doesn't care about the royal bloodline. He only knows one thing. If this continues, the country of Da Yu will really want to take the jujube pills. ’

Therefore, before these vassals had harmed the population of Dayu from 100 million to just a few million, he had to adopt an aggressive attitude, and he would take as much land as he could, especially the Wei land. A place rich and crowded.

After driving away the envoy of King Wei, Xiao Ming immediately ordered Yue Yun to mobilize three warships from the fleet into Qingzhou to cooperate in the battle against Pengzhou City. At the same time, he and Niu Ben began to plan an attack on Pengzhou City.

It seemed to be revenge against Xiao Ming. After the envoy returned to Jinling City, King Wei quickly cut off the supply of Tongzhou. At the same time, King Wei ordered any merchants from Qingzhou not to trade in Weidi, otherwise they would be killed without pardon.

After the order was issued, the three Qingzhou merchant ships that had not had time to evacuate were detained.

"His Royal Highness, Wang Wei is simply too hateful. He let our people come back, saying that if he wants to redeem the merchant ship, he will get five hundred thousand taels of silver." Li Kaiyuan was filled with indignation. Now business is difficult to do because of the war.

Unexpectedly, Wang Wei suddenly made such a move at this time. The goods carried on these three merchant ships plus the merchant ship itself were worth more than 200,000 taels. Li Kaiyuan had to feel distressed.

The retaliatory measures taken by Wei Wang really caught him off guard. According to Li Kaiyuan, some of the rich and powerful families in the Wei area took the opportunity to attack businessmen from Qingzhou ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although it was only expelled on the surface, in fact Wei Wanghe Some big clans have long been embarrassed, and the detention of these three merchant ships has already explained the problem.

I have to say that this incident really made Xiao Ming very upset. These merchant ships were all of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce's own merchant ships. Although he ordered to withdraw when he fell out with King Wei, he still had no time to withdraw.

It wasn't that the merchants were too slow to withdraw, but that Wei Wang had premeditated and seized the three merchant ships before giving the order.

"His Royal Highness, the business of the Chamber of Commerce is difficult to do now, how can this be good?" Li Kaiyuan sighed.

"When it is difficult to do domestic business in Dayu, do business abroad. Do you think that this king has worked so hard to open up sea routes for fun? This king planned in advance to deal with this situation, and now you will shift your focus to sea trade on."

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Kaiyuan said, after hesitating, he said: "Your Highness, where are these three merchant ships?"

"Hmph, he took the king's three merchant ships, and the king took his three cities." Xiao Ming slapped the table fiercely.
