Chapter 307

"Your Highness, I'm not thinking about this. I'm thinking that now there are engineering soldiers, logistics soldiers and navy in Qingzhou army. These services have never existed in Dayu country. Your highness seems to have a plan to carry out military reform. For this reason, I'm really puzzled."

With a smile on his face, Xiao Ming said that the military system of Dayu was still in the era of cold weapons, and the sudden transition to the era of hot weapons naturally caused a lot of opposition.

It's just that Xiao Ming has to do this, because in the era of musketeers, the Western army has embarked on the road of normalization, and the logistics and engineering troops have all appeared.

He's just chasing.

He said: "when I was in Chang'an, I explained the origin of artillery to my father. The reform of the army also came from the warning of which Western priest, because today's Dayu state is no longer the Heavenly Kingdom in the past, but a poor and weak country that can only be bullied by barbarians. If you want to catch up, you have to dare to reform. Shang Yang's reform is the reason why the Qin Dynasty is facing crisis The same is true at this time. "

Pang Yukun was speechless. It was Xiao Ming who developed the artillery at the time of crisis that held Cangzhou City.

He suddenly found that his knowledge could not keep up with the steps of the prince of Dayu. Maybe what he thought was just crude in his eyes.

It turns out that what Xiao Ming is doing is right. After hesitation, he decides to believe Xiao Ming.

"I think too much. After all, this military reform involves a lot. I believe that what your highness is doing now must be for the common people." Pang Yukun's right way.

Xiao Ming nodded, "if you can believe me, I'll be at ease. I don't need a lot of civil servants and military generals to go to the palace to fight against me."

Pang Yukun is dumbfounded, but Xiao Ming is afraid that he will lead a group of officials to remonstrate and prevent him from carrying out such a dangerous reform in the army as he did in Chang'an.

After all, when he was in Chang'an, he didn't do less. Because of this, Xiao Wenxuan was especially disgusted with Pang Yukun.

"Today is different from the past, your highness is a wise lord!" Pang Yukun's eyes twinkled and his voice had a different meaning.

Xiao Ming was immediately alert to this. He looked at Pang Yukun, who just looked at him with a smile.

In Pang Yukun's eyes, he saw a kind of hope, which is the look in the eyes of the loyal ministers persuading their loyal prince to fight for the throne.

Maybe Pang Yukun didn't dare to think about it before, but as Qingzhou became more and more powerful, he didn't know what his officials and generals thought.

Pang Yukun suddenly laughed and said, "Your Highness, Yue Yun has been out to sea for more than a month. I don't know what's wrong with him now."

"Yes." Xiao Ming is worried about Yue Yun's fleet. Are they dead or alive?

When they were worried, Yue Yun, who was sailing at sea, sneezed.

A seaman came up behind him and said, "Captain, the red haired ghost is awake."

"Go and call the interpreter." Yue Yun rubbed his nose and looked at the sea ahead.

Leaving Dengzhou, they drove all the way to the Strait of Malacca. On the way, they encountered many pirates who tried to rob, but they buried them with guns.

But the more they went to the west, the fiercer the pirates they met, and even they met pirate ships with the same guns.

This discovery shocked them, but in order to complete Xiao Ming's task, they tried to avoid fighting with these pirate ships.

And the pirates don't seem willing to take a huge risk to attack them armed to the teeth.

In addition to pirates, they often see the wreckage of drifting warships at sea. Today, they even see the wreckage of more than a dozen large sail warships.

There are corpses floating in the sea. These corpses are dressed in strange red clothes, and their faces are different from those of Dayu people.

At this moment, he finally realized that Xiao Ming was not talking nonsense in school. It turned out that there were really western countries in the world.

And they also have sailboats, artillery, and even a strange stick like weapon.

After passing through this sea area where there seems to have been a naval battle, they got a lot of strange things. This is one of them.

Entering the cabin, Yue Yun saw the westerners who had awakened.

At this time, the translator also arrived and looked at Yue Yun. He asked in English.

The Westerners in red dress immediately replied.

"What did he say?" Yue Yunji scratched his ears.

"He said that he was British, attached to the third fleet of Great Britain, and was the first mate of the Navy. They were attacked by the Dutch in this area and asked if we could send him to the nearest colony, India," the translator said

Suddenly, a cold sweat came out of Yue Yun's head. He then picked up the stick and said to the translator, "Great Britain, isn't this what your highness calls Britain? You asked him, "what is this?"

The translator added another sentence, looked at Yue Yun strangely, and then said a few words."He said it was a flint gun. If you like it, he can give you a lot, as long as you send him to India." The translator said.

Yue Yun's heart suddenly sank. When he went to sea, Xiao Ming had told him many things, and now these things have come true one by one.

"You tell him we can send him to India, but he needs to answer some of our questions." Yue Yun then gave a pamphlet to the translator with the questions listed by Xiao Ming.

The translator took over and began to ask questions one by one, but the British did not seem to resist.

One hourglass time, the translator asked all the questions and handed the booklet back to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun opens it, and the answers are filled by the translator. After reading the news, Yue Yun's face becomes extremely ugly.

He said to the translator, "you tell him that we don't need a flint gun. If it's just the seeds of potatoes, peanuts and corn, can he provide them?"

The translator asked a few questions, and the Englishman replied with a relaxed look.

"He said it's very simple. There's a lot of food in India's colonies, such as potatoes, peanuts and corn." The translator said.

Yue Yun pondered for a moment and said, "send him to India. If you can get what your highness wants, we will return immediately. Now Ryukyu is occupied by the Dutch, and the Dutch are trading with Japan. We will go back and tell your highness about this."

People nodded, their goal is not to travel around the world, but to collect information.

Now that they have what they want, there is no need for a long voyage. After all, the more he goes inside, the more dangerous it is. He wants to keep the only three galleons in Qingzhou.
