Chapter 286 Righteousness

The cold sea breeze blew on everyone with a salty and wet taste.

Meng Youliang's information made everyone silent for a while.

In the end, Yue Yun broke the silence, "His Royal Highness, Meng Youliang is treachery. His words cannot be believed. Maybe he deliberately took out this shit to deceive His Highness just to save his life."

"Yue Yun, you're so confused, do you know where I was hiding so I wasn't discovered by Yamada Ichiro? That's your cellar, and it was your mother who knew the importance of this information and hid me. "Meng Youliang shouted.

The two Dengzhou soldiers nodded, "Your Highness, we found him in the cellar."

"Impossible, my mother won't save you, a wolf-hearted thing." Yue Yun suddenly burst into anger.

Xiao Ming was also dubious at this time, he said: "Meng Youliang, this king can't trust you now, and now I can only take you in custody, and after confirming the information on this scroll, I will give you back your freedom, Ye Qing, escort Meng Youliang to Qingzhou prison and wait. This king will deal with it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Qing bowed.

Putting away Meng Youliang's scroll, Xiao Ming looked at Yutai Village, which was like a hell on earth, and said, "Yue Yun, let's bury the people in the village first. If Meng Youliang really belongs to the Japanese pirates, this king will leave him to you."

Yue Yun nodded at this time, looked at his dead mother, and tears flowed out again.

Xiao Ming was in a heavy heart. At this time, he asked Ye Qing's Dengzhou army to help Yue Yun to bury the villagers of Yutai Village together.

On the other hand, he stepped aside and pondered. According to the historical data in the Science and Technology Library, there was a Wanli Korean War between the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty.

Although the current situation is different, it is generally similar, that is, there is a problem in the Japanese country, and it is urgent to use expansion to alleviate domestic contradictions.

Basically, every time there is a problem within the Japanese country, the contradiction will be transferred to another country, and this other country is always the Central Plains Dynasty.

In this plan, the shipbuilding plan of the Japanese state was written in detail. This plan will take three years to implement. After three years, the Japanese state will have enough ships to transport an army of 200,000 people to Dengzhou to capture the land of the Great Yu Kingdom.

As Meng Youliang said, the Japanese country seems to have just completed its reunification, but the daimyo are dissatisfied with the distribution of land and want to acquire more land.

This spearhead naturally points to the now basically fragmented country of Great Yu.

As for the barbarians in the north, the Japanese state is very aware of its own weight and is unwilling to provoke them, and it is also revealed in the scroll that the Japanese state once sent envoys to Goryeo and had contact with the barbarians in Goryeo.

What he doesn't know now is whether this attack plan was the idea of ​​the Japanese country itself, or a dirty deal between the barbarians and the Japanese country.

But in any case, Xiao Ming is now facing a problem that after three years, he will have enough warships to wipe out the Japanese fleet at sea, and even have the ability to attack the Japanese mainland.

Taking control of history, island countries have a natural geographical advantage. They always focus on the navy and can easily attack other countries, while other mainland countries cannot attack island countries because of their weak navies.

In modern history, only the Yuan Dynasty once tried to cross the sea to attack the Japanese country, but in the end it was defeated by the ocean.

It is precisely because of this unique advantage that the island country has gradually become the dominance of history in the era of great voyages. In modern times, the United States still relies on its unique geographical conditions to enjoy convenience.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, the only way to smash the will of the island nation is to have the ability to attack its homeland. Otherwise, the island nation will always stand behind the mainland nation and stab chrysanthemums.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming had to increase his investment in the navy while defending the barbarians in the north. These are two strategies. Maybe three years later, he will even face two fronts.

The bodies of the villagers in Yutai Village were properly collected, and Yue Yun buried the bodies of the whole village by the sea.

The death of their relatives made Yutai Village's seafarers feel depressed for a long time, but at this time, they felt more hatred in their hearts.

In order to calm the emotions of these sailors, he plans to let Yue Yun rest for a month before going to sea.

"No need, Your Highness, we can go now."

After his mother was buried and repaired for half a month, Yue Yun rejected Xiao Ming's proposal.

"Can you really go to sea now?" Xiao Ming was a little worried. He was afraid that Yue Yun rushed to the Japanese country with three Galen ships.

Although the firepower of these three Galen ships is very strong, they can easily be captured as long as the small ships adopt wolf pack tactics.

"His Royal Highness, Yue Yun has a clear distinction between the priorities. If you want to take revenge, you can't rely on the bravery of a few people. Only when Your Highness is strong will we have a chance to take revenge. We will sail according to the plan and bring back potatoes, corn and other crops for His Highness, and collect information. "Yue Yun said.

Xiao Ming was relieved, Yue Yun was able to think that he was really able to put the righteousness in front of his eyes.

He said, "Okay, I didn't see you wrong. Since you risked your life to sell illicit salt for the people in the village, I knew that you were a righteous person, and what I promised you will not change."

Yue Yun nodded and said, "The last general is going to recall the sailors and prepare to go to sea."

The cabin is a little dark, and Yue Yun and others have been living on the ship during this time.

After coming out of the cabin, Yue Yun went ashore and began to greet the sailors to board the ship. This time Xiao Ming would not follow them on the voyage, and they had to walk the rest of the way.

The sailors returned to the ship one by one. At this time, Yue Yun faced Xiao Ming, put his right hand on his chest, and shouted, "My honor is loyalty!"

"My honor is loyalty!"

The sailors shouted in unison.

Xiao Ming also put his hand on his chest. At this moment, the sails fell, and the three Galen ships pulled anchor and set sail in the sea breeze.

At this moment, Xiao Ming prayed in his heart, hoping that Yue Yun and others could return safely.

Watching the three Galen ships gradually disappear on the horizon, Xiao Ming turned and left.

In Dengzhou City, Ye Qing was already holding Meng Youliang, waiting for Xiao Ming to return to Qingzhou together.

One of the reasons why he kept Meng Youliang was to distinguish the true and false of the news, and the other was to obtain the current information of the Japanese country, and to know the enemy and himself, so that he could be victorious in every battle.

Three days later, Xiao Ming and his party returned to Qingzhou.

At this time, the snow in Qingzhou had melted, and the temperature was gradually rising, so Ye Qing put Meng Youliang in the Qingzhou prison, and Xiao Ming returned to the palace with exhaustion.

At this time, a figure suddenly ran from the palace to the door, but it was Qian Dafu.

Qian Dafu was a little excited today. Before Xiao Ming could ask, Qian Dafu said, "His Royal Highness, this old slave has been waiting for your return for the past two days, and the tungsten mine is now available."
