Chapter 884: Farah's Revenge

Ouyang Shuo did not immediately agree to Lu Su's proposal, because he had other plans.

Ouyang Shuo plans to use the first batch of Z1 warships as the skeleton to form a personal guard fleet, tentatively named the Royal Fleet, and its positioning is similar to the Imperial Guard in the army.

There will be frequent national wars in the future, and Ouyang Shuo will often go to sea, and he needs to be accompanied by a standing fleet. It is really inconvenient that he can't temporarily transfer warships from the five major fleets every time he goes to sea.

Therefore, the Royal Fleet does not need to reach the full number of five formations. For now, one formation is enough. Just one point, the Royal Fleet needs to be equipped with the strongest Marine Corps to replace the role of the Praetorian Guard. It can't be said that every time Ouyang Shuo goes to sea, he has to bring the imperial guards with him, which is very inconvenient.

During the ocean voyage last year, the temporarily formed ocean-going fleet was the predecessor of the Royal Fleet. It just so happened that the Southern Border Fleet had withdrawn from the North Bay, and the Royal Fleet was stationed at the North Seaport.

After hearing the king's plan, Zheng He took the lead in expressing his support, saying: "The king is the lord of a country. In the naval order, such a fleet is really needed to protect Wang Zhouquan and demonstrate the majesty of the celestial dynasty."

The formation of the Royal Fleet will definitely enhance the status of the navy in the army sequence of the dynasty. As the commander of the navy, Zheng He is naturally happy to see the results, so he took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"The minister waits for a second opinion!"

The ministers present were naturally savvy and nodded in agreement one by one. After all, the Royal Fleet only formed one formation, which was not too much of a burden on the dynasty.

That being the case, how could the ministers come forward to oppose it, and it is a fact that the king often goes to sea. Equipping such a fleet is also a big deal to protect the face of the dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, looked at Lu Su again, and said, "Of course, Zijing's proposal just now is also reasonable. In my opinion, it's better to take a two-pronged approach and complete the formation of the Royal Fleet before October. The vacated buildings and warships, It can be transferred to the Coastal Fleet one after another to make it take shape as soon as possible.”

"promise!"

At the end, Zheng He asked cautiously: "I wonder if your majesty is interested in the candidate for the admiral of the Royal Fleet?"

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "The headquarters will first draw up a detailed reorganization plan. The fleet can be organized under the leadership of the headquarters. As for the candidates for the naval admiral, we will discuss it later."

Among the commander-in-chiefs of the five major fleets, there is none that Ouyang Shuo likes very much.

"promise!"

After discussing all matters, the court immediately dispersed.

…………

It wasn't long before Ouyang Shuo returned to the imperial study room, before his buttocks were warmed up, the envoy of the General Administration Department, who was in charge of delivering the official documents, hurried in.

"Why are you so panicked?" Ouyang Shuo frowned.

The envoy did not dare to be negligent, holding a secret letter in both hands, bowed and said: "My lord, Gu Xiuwen, the guardian of the Friendship City, has just sent an urgent message, marked as urgent!"

"What?" Ouyang Shuo got up and stood up.

According to the system, local officials are not allowed to issue "urgent" cases unless it is a matter of life and death.

"Take it here quickly."

"promise!"

Ouyang Shuo took the secret letter and opened it on the spot. The more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. He never expected that something would happen to Friendship City at this moment.

Investigating its root cause, we have to start with the ocean voyage last year.

In June last year, Ouyang Shuo led the ocean-going fleet to Somalia and docked at the port of Berbera. On that night, he encountered a well-planned assassination.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo was lucky and escaped a catastrophe.

In Somalia, Ouyang Shuo led the ocean-going fleet to defeat the three major pirate groups in Somalia, and also exposed the true face of Farah, the leader of the largest guild in Somalia [Cheetah Mercenary Group].

With this achievement, Ouyang Shuo was awarded a knighthood by the Somali royal family, and he was able to establish the Friendship City in Somalia, allowing the territory to gain a foothold in the Gulf of Aden waters, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.

On the contrary, the loser of the war, the criminal of Somalia, and Farah, who was forced to have nowhere to go, transformed himself into the leader of the [Sirius Pirates], lurking in the waters around the machine in the Gulf of Aden.

This dormancy lasted for nearly a year.

Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Farah, the [Sirius Pirates] not only regained their vitality, but even annexed the other two pirate groups, greatly increasing their strength and becoming the most powerful existence in the Gulf of Aden.

Farah himself is known as the "Pirate King".

Ouyang Shuo never imagined that the soft-heartedness at the beginning would actually feed a tiger into trouble.

Farah naturally hated Ouyang Shuo. Just this morning, the [Sirius Pirates] took advantage of the fact that the fifth fleet of the Mediterranean Fleet was still stranded in Base Point City, and suddenly launched an attack on Friendship City.

Caught off guard, the Port of the Brave outside the City of Friendship immediately fell, and hundreds of merchant ships docked at the port were ransacked and suffered heavy losses. At the moment when Gu Xiuwen sent the letter, more than 60,000 ferocious pirates had already invaded the outer city of Friendship City, causing a heinous massacre inside the city.

The capital of commerce and trade is in flames of war.

The Friendship City Guard Division was defeated and had already retreated to the inner city, preparing to rely on the fortifications of the inner city to deal with the pirates until the arrival of reinforcements.

It was in such a situation that Gu Xiuwen, the city guard of Friendship City, sent an urgent confidential document.

Strange to say, when the fifth fleet of the Mediterranean Fleet was stationed in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, they never saw the [Sirius Pirates] figure.

This is why cats have cat ways, and dogs have dog ways.

Pirates are local snakes, and if they really want to hide, no one will find them.

It's just that [Sirius Pirates] didn't reveal any clues, and it's too unusual. Ouyang Shuo guessed that there must be other strange things in it, but it's not what to consider right now.

"Come on!"

"Here!" Xu Chu walked in.

Ouyang Shuo's face turned cold, but his heart was very calm. In the past few years, he hadn't seen any big storms, and said, "Order the first, second, and third divisions of the Panshi Army to gather in the teleportation formation and follow me to reinforce Friendship City. "

The Panshi Army is the first regiment of the imperial guards in the capital city, and it is also the pure mountain barbarian heavy infantry regiment.

"promise!"

Fighting inside the city is still suitable for mountain barbarians.

Right now, there are the Second Army and the Third Army of the Imperial Guard in the capital, so the Panshi Army can be mobilized. In addition, the Panshi Army has been sitting in the capital for a long time, and they can't stop fighting all day long, and there will be problems.

In less than half an hour, Ouyang Shuo in military uniform rushed to the teleportation formation surrounded by personal guards. Jia Xu, Tsing Yi and others did not accompany them, it was urgent and there was no need to bring too many people with them.

At the same time, the three divisions of Shenwuwei and Panshi Army have also arrived, led by the deputy commander Shi Hu. Shi Hu's eyes are full of fighting spirit. He has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and the sons are suffocated.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo nodded in satisfaction. Judging from the rapid gathering of the Panshi Army, even though the army was stationed in the capital, the soldiers were not really slack and were always ready to go to the battlefield.

"Set off!"

Ouyang Shuo didn't talk nonsense, and entered the teleportation array first.

A white light flashed, and Ouyang Shuo appeared in the City of Friendship. As soon as he walked out of the teleportation formation, Ouyang Shuo heard the sound of fighting not far away, which was quite intense. During the period, there were also voices of ordinary people running around calling for help. The pirates were no better than the regular army.

The people in the city will suffer a great crime.

Ouyang Shuo looked up, but saw the outer city and the port further away, billowing with smoke. Needless to say, black-hearted pirates must be setting the fire.

Burning, killing, looting, they really did all kinds of evil.

Farah spread his hatred towards Ouyang Shuo on Friendship City in one go.

Friendship City has really stumbled this time.

Near the teleportation formation, Gu Xiuwen had already led a group of officials to wait. When he saw the king, he immediately saluted and said earnestly: "My minister pays homage to the king, the Friendship City was attacked, and the outer city fell. I also ask the king to come down."

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's repel the pirates first."

"Yes!" Seeing this, Gu Xiuwen stepped back.

Another half an hour passed before all the 40,000 Panshi troops were sent over. In such a short while, the security divisions in the inner city were in danger again and again, but luckily the pirates did not open the gap.

It stands to reason that the Friendship City Security Division is not a soft persimmon. They were beaten so embarrassingly this time, it can be seen that Farah does have a way to train a group of pirates so fiercely.

Ouyang Shuo didn't panic, and said to Shi Hu: "Take your people to the top immediately, and teach these pirates a profound lesson, and let them know what will happen if they invade the Great Xia Dynasty."

Although the teleportation array has been activated in Friendship City, it is not open to the public. Farah probably didn't know at the moment that reinforcements from the Great Xia Dynasty had arrived.

Otherwise, even if Farah had the courage again, he would not dare to attack the City of Friendship.

"promise!"

Ouyang Shuo continued to order, "Remember, don't rush up all at once. First send a team of people to block the gates of the cities, and then come to close the gates and beat the dogs. This king will make these pirates never come back."

In front of the Panshi Army, no matter how well-trained the pirates are, they are still chickens and dogs. This time, Ouyang Shuo wanted to be ruthless, he would rather risk the destruction of the outer city than to wipe out all these pirates.

"Don't worry, your majesty, if a pirate leaves, you will eventually accept the punishment."

Shi Hu issued a military order and left with his troops in a mighty way.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Xu Chu again, and said, "Take Shenwuwei and go around to the port outside the city to see if you can take down the pirate leader Farah. It's best to catch him alive."

According to Gu Xiuwen, Farah is cunning and hasn't entered the city yet.

"Understood!" Xu Chu grinned, turned and left with three thousand Shenwuwei.

In front of the Panshi Army, pirates can still be regarded as chickens and dogs; but in front of Shenwuwei, pirates are not even chickens and ducklings. That's why Xu Chu had the confidence to walk unimpeded in the enemy's formation.

With a huff, only two hundred guards remained in place.

After issuing the military order, Ouyang Shuo looked at Gu Xiuwen with a smile on his face, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, take me to the City Lord's Mansion for a seat."

The king is so calm, coupled with the sound of killing not far away, it is really convincing.

Gu Xiuwen was ashamed in his heart, compared to the king, he was still too restless, calmed down, Gu Xiuwen respectfully said: "My lord, please!"
