Chapter 211: Weapons Sink Into the Sea, Wei Yuan's Dominance

August 16, the fifth year of Jiayou.

The weapons purchased by the nobles such as the Earl of Fuchang and the Earl of Yongchang have been loaded and are ready to go.

At this moment.

In front of the Fuzhou dock, Wei Yuan, Rong Xian, and Ping Zhongsheng were looking at the hundreds of ships in front of them. The latter two laughed and said:

"General Wei, after this batch of weapons is safely delivered to Japan, we can also put an end to the worries of the government."

"General Wei, I hope that I can have a drink with you when I come to Japan next time!"

"."

Ping Zhongsheng has always thought that Wei Yuan looked down on his status, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

But in fact, Wei Yuan hated all the Japanese pirates.

"I hope Mr. Ping Zhong can arrive in Japan safely."

"My Great Zhou Navy can only escort you for a distance. As for the cost of the escort, you need to pay it in advance. Have you discussed it with the FZ Maritime Customs?"

Wei Yuan asked.

The navy soldiers cannot escort for free. They need to pay the money to the Maritime Customs first, and then the Maritime Customs will pay it to the navy. This is a relatively cumbersome process.

Its purpose is to prevent corruption in the army.

"Please rest assured, General Wei. For the escort of the navy soldiers this time, our Japanese country has contributed 100,000 taels of silver, which has been paid to the Maritime Customs."

Ping Zhongsheng responded.

Hearing this, Wei Yuan's mouth slightly raised.

As long as the money is paid, it's fine.

After Ping Zhongsheng got on the boat, Rong Xian bowed to Wei Yuan again and said:

"General Wei, it's still early, why don't we have a drink?"

Drink?

I'm afraid you will even want to die later.

Wei Yuan said: "Why don't we have a banquet in the camp? These days, the soldiers have worked hard to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. It's time to have a big banquet to reward the three armies."

Anyway, it's the silver from Japan, so there's no need to feel bad.

Rong Xian asked curiously, "I heard that General Wei has always been strict in managing the army. Drinking in the army is not a good idea, right?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "There has been no war recently, so it's time to let the soldiers have a good rest."

Rong Xian bowed again, "Then I'd rather obey your order than be respectful."

On the way to the coastal defense camp, Wei Yuan asked him, "If the Japanese take the weapons, what should we do if they become stronger and want to do something bad to our Great Zhou?"

Rong Xian chuckled, "General Wei, you worry too much. How can a mere Japanese country have the courage to attack our Celestial Empire?"

"Besides, with you, Marquis Gu, and Duke Ying in the court, even Liaoxia is not a threat, let alone a small Japanese country?"

Wei Yuan said earnestly, "I hope it's as you said."

When he arrived at the army, he ordered the kitchen soldiers to go to the city to buy meat.

There are about 30,000 troops left in Fuzhou now.

Just buying meat and drinks for these soldiers would cost at least a thousand taels of silver.

Money is sometimes very valuable. One tael of silver can feed an ordinary family for one or two months.

In some poor areas, this tael of silver can even provide food and clothing for half a year.

However, now Wei Yuan waved his hand, and thousands of taels of silver were gone.

Not to mention the soldiers, on weekdays, Wei Yuan's own expenses alone may reach about 20 taels of silver, and this is still a relatively frugal situation.

In the big tent.

After the wine and food were served, Wei Yuan began to introduce Yang Huairen and others to Rong Xian.

Rong Xian raised his glass to everyone one by one, and after a while, he was drunk.

At the same time.

On the vast ocean.

Chen Daniu led the soldiers on the boat to the vicinity of Chiwei Island.

He planned to take action there.

Through his layout, the warships of the Wei clan members placed by Wei Yuan had already sailed to the front.

In this way, at the critical moment, we can seize the Japanese ships and transfer some weapons to the island without anyone noticing.

At this time, on a Japanese ship.

A Japanese noticed that the warships of the Great Zhou Navy seemed to have changed, and he quickly reported the matter to Ping Zhongsheng.

The latter said disapprovingly: "Don't make a fuss. Perhaps those ships sailing ahead are scouts of the Zhou Dynasty Navy to investigate whether there are pirates ahead."

"Those Japanese pirates were all created by us, so they naturally won't attack our ships."

"After we leave Chiwei Island and the Zhou army returns, we can sail at full speed and reach our country as quickly as possible."

The Japanese nodded and said nothing more.

About three hours later, the sky gradually darkened.

And they have arrived at Chiwei Island. The sailing speed is not too fast. It is mainly because Chen Daniu is stalling for time.

It is indeed difficult to start in the sunny day.

When they arrived at the Chiwei Island area, the sunset was about to fall and the sky was gradually darkening. It was a good time to start at this time.

Bang——

With a loud noise, it attracted everyone's attention.

A Japanese hurriedly reported to Ping Zhongsheng, "Sir, our ship collided with the warship of the Great Zhou Navy."

The outer surface of the navy warship is wrapped with iron sheets, and there are protruding spikes.

If an ordinary ship collides with it, it will probably be scrapped.

Hearing this, Ping Zhongsheng frowned slightly,

"How is it possible? How can it collide with the ship of the Great Zhou when sailing at a predetermined speed?"

As soon as the voice fell, many ships in the distance were seen to be emitting thick smoke.

Just when Ping Zhongsheng was confused, suddenly, a "rocket" shot down beside him.

The next moment, more than ten arrows were shot at the same time.

In an instant, Ping Zhongsheng was shocked, "Enemy attack!"

It happened too suddenly, and the Japanese on these merchant ships were not soldiers, so it was difficult for them to compete with the officers and soldiers of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So in just an instant, many Japanese were killed by sharp arrows.

Ping Zhongsheng hid in a relatively safe corner of the building ship for the time being, and clearly saw that it was the attack launched by the officers and soldiers of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even without thinking about it, he knew that this was all Wei Yuan's idea.

"Wei Yuan! Wei Yuan! Damn it! I will kill you!"

Chen Daniu had already locked onto Ping Zhongsheng's ship, so he immediately waved his command flag and ordered his own ships to board or ram Ping Zhongsheng's merchant ship at all costs.

Today, there can be Japanese people alive, but that Japanese person must not be Ping Zhongmori.

This is Wei Yuan's death order.

I saw Chen Daniu pulling out the sword from his waist and shouting to the soldiers around him:

"Send the order, the Japanese want to do evil, ram the warships of our navy in the Zhou Dynasty, and attack our Zhou Dynasty. This is a heinous crime!"

"The noble disciples accompanying us are all Japanese accomplices. We will kill them all without leaving any survivors. This is to comfort our officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty Navy who just sunk the ship!"

Just now, a naval warship of the Great Zhou Dynasty indeed sank.

But it was not a Japanese merchant ship that sank.

It's the navy's own fault.

There was no one on that ship.

"kill!"

Chen Daniu shouted again.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"."

For a moment, the sound of shouting, fighting and killing was earth-shattering and resounded throughout the sea area.

At this time, a merchant ship.

A distinguished disciple stood on the bow of the ship and said loudly:

"Don't kill me. I'm a descendant of Fuchang Bo's lineage. I'm from Zhou. Don't."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow came quickly and shot directly through his chest.

Immediately afterwards, he fell to the ground.

How could the noble disciples who saw this scene not understand that the naval forces of their own dynasty were about to be wiped out!

"Why is this so? Who gave the order? Do they want to rebel?"

"I am a descendant of Uncle Yongchang, who dares to kill me? Who dares?"

"We are all noble sons, and we are the heroes of the country. You can't do this!"

"."

However, no matter how much they shouted, all they received were arrows that were cold to the bone.

After a while, many merchant ships carrying weapons sank into the sea one after another.

The army led by Chen Daniu were all soldiers carefully selected by Wei Yuan.

They are extremely loyal and extremely brave and adept at fighting.

Killing the noble sons and Japanese in front of you is as simple as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

It didn't take long.

Chen Daniu had already led his men to kill Ping Zhongsheng's ship.

Some Japanese were trying to persuade him to escape in a small boat.

But Ping Zhongsheng looked around and saw that the fire was soaring to the sky, and the surrounding area was surrounded by the Great Zhou Navy. At this moment, even if he had the ability to soar to the sky, it would be of no help.

"kill!"

Since there is no way to escape, simply don't escape.

Ping Zhongsheng clenched the weapon in his hand, dreaming of trying to carve out a bloody path.

However, from the moment Chen Daniu boarded the ship, victory or defeat was determined.

All Japanese who appeared in front of him were killed by Chen Daniu with extremely clean and efficient methods.

In an instant, Chen Daniu rushed to Ping Zhongsheng and slashed with his sword, shocking Ping Zhongsheng who was struggling to resist until his hands trembled.

Chen Daniu, with quick eyes and quick hands, kicked Ping Zhongsheng again, causing Ping Zhongsheng to fall to the side, coughing blood.

"I thought you were good at fighting, but that's all!"

Chen Daniu chuckled lightly.

Ping Zhongsheng spit out a mouthful of blood, stood up with difficulty, and looked around, only to see that all his men had been killed by Zhou Jun.

He was furious,

"This batch of weapons was promised to us by your Majesty the Emperor!"

"How dare you do such a heinous thing!"

Chen Daniu couldn't understand what he was saying, so he frowned slightly and said, "I don't even know how to speak personally."

Ping Zhongsheng took a deep breath and said a very lame Zhou Yu,

"My son has the appearance of a general. He will avenge me!"

His son was named Ping Qingsheng. In the history of Wei Yuan's previous life, this man once controlled the entire Japanese country.

Chen Daniu obviously didn't know this,

"Your son? If I kill you, sooner or later, I will kill your son too!"

"Our commander-in-chief has something to tell you."

"One day, I will ride on the flat city to enjoy the cherry blossoms!"

After that, he swung his sword and chopped off Ping Zhongsheng's head.

Pingcheng was the name of the capital of the Japanese state in this era, namely 'Pingcheng-kyung'.

Zhou people used to call their capital Pingcheng.

After Ping Zhongsheng was killed, several soldiers suddenly reported to him that they had found several beautiful women in the ship, all of them Japanese.

Chen Daniu laughed twice and said: "They are yours. After you are done playing with them, throw them into the sea."

Some soldiers advised: "General, we are the king's army. Is it inappropriate to do such a thing? If so, wouldn't it be no different from the Japanese?"

Chen Daniu snorted coldly, "Why can they, the Japanese, bully my Dazhou women, but we can't?"

"I don't have many rules and regulations. Just play with them how you want to kill them. This is a fucking war, not a child's play."

"If one day, the Japanese country becomes stronger and attacks our Zhou Dynasty, then countless women will die in their hands!"

After that, he looked into the distance.

He could vaguely see more than ten ships, breaking through the naval blockade and heading elsewhere at extremely fast speeds.

Seeing this, Chen Daniu smiled.

Those ships were obviously controlled by the Wei clan.

There were only a dozen or so ships that he could see.

I'm afraid there are many more that I can't see.

He thought, no matter what the elder brother's purpose was in hiding those weapons.

But the battle was finally completed successfully.

"You guys, get on the boat and tell Commander Wei quickly that the matter here has been decided!"

Chen Daniu gave an order.

If we sail at the fastest speed, it will only take about an hour or two at most from Chiwei Island to Fuzhou Coastal Defense Camp.

——

Two hours later.

In the Haiphong camp, Wei Yuan was still drinking with Rong Xian.

This guy has vomited three times in succession, and each time he said he was too drunk and stopped drinking.

Wei Yuan would persuade Rongxian to continue sitting down and drinking on the grounds that he would not give him face.

Rongxian couldn't refuse and could only bite the bullet and continue drinking.

But he is really dying,

"Commander Wei, please forgive me and continue drinking tomorrow, how about you?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a navy soldier covered in blood walking into the tent.

Although Rongxian was already drunk and his eyes were beginning to blur, when he saw the navy soldier, he still narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and forced himself to wake up.

He always felt that something big was about to happen.

Wei Yuan winked at the soldier. Soon, the soldier came behind him and whispered something in his ear.

"Okay, go down and receive the reward."

Wei Yuan waved his hand pretending to be solemn.

After saying that, the soldiers who came to report the news under Chen Daniu's order retreated.

Afterwards, Wei Yuan looked at Rong Xian without hesitating to speak, his expression extremely ugly. It would be difficult to do this without years of honing his acting skills.

Seeing this, Rongxian shook his head again and asked:

"Commander Wei, what's wrong?"

Wei Yuan sighed and said, "Brother Rong, if I tell you, don't get angry."

"Just now, the navy scouts came to report that our officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Navy fell into the Japanese pirates' plan to divert the tigers away from the mountains, and suffered heavy losses."

"And those Japanese merchant ships loaded with weapons were either plundered by Japanese pirates or sank into the sea."

"All the noble sons and daughters will never survive, including your cousin."

"Brother Rong."

Hear this.

Rong Xian's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. He slammed the table and stood up suddenly.

"Chen Hai. Wu Yiyi returned to the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards. Didn't you say that the naval forces you trained were elite troops?"

"How could you make such a mistake?"

When he said this, he suddenly realized something and looked at Wei Yuan with a horrified look. He didn't know if he was drunk or something, but he dared to say bluntly:

"It's you! It's you who ordered the naval officers to attack the Japanese ships! You also killed those noble sons and daughters!"

"Wei Yuan, you are also an honorable person. Do you want to go against all the honorable people in the capital?"

"When you first came to the capital, if there was no British father and it was just a single family, who would be friends with your Wei family!"

"Now, you. How dare you do this!"

"."

He said a lot in one breath.

However, the more I talked about it, the more I felt regretful.

Accompanied by the drunkenness, he said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

When Wei Yuan looked at his angry look and remained unmoved, Guo Hao, Xiao Yuming, Yang Huairen and others stood up one after another, pulled out their weapons, and looked like they were going to chop him. look.

Seeing this, Rong Xian snorted coldly, "What? General Wei, you want to kill me too? Don't think that you are some southeast pillar and I am afraid of you. Do you want to rebel?"

Wei Yuan waved his hand and motioned for the brothers to sit down.

Then, he slowly stood up, came to Fu Changbo, held down his waist, and with a slight exertion, pressed Rongxian onto the stool again.

He leaned over Rongxian's ear and whispered:

"Who do you think you are? It's not impossible to kill you."

"Life or death, it's your choice."

Rong Xian became more and more stunned. He was obviously frightened by Wei Yuan's words. His limbs began to tremble and his lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't come up with a word for a long time.
