Chapter 1360: Qi's determination!
The vast sea is endless.
Above this, you can see a black mass pressing against the sea from a distance. When you get closer, you can see that it is a warship!
It is extremely large in scale, connected into pieces, and you can't see the end at a glance!
There are dozens of large warships alone. This kind of warship is called the Five-Toothed Large Ship. It has a five-story building and is more than 100 feet high. It can accommodate more than 800 soldiers. There are six slap rods, each of which is more than 50 feet long, which can slap and smash enemy warships.
This is just one type, and there are many types of ships such as the Great Blessed Ship and the Great Wing Ship.
Each type has its own characteristics, it is huge in size and has strong attack power, and can accommodate a considerable number of warriors.
In addition, there are also many medium-sized warships used for offensive and combat pursuit, such as Mengchong warships, who first boarded the warships.
All are needed to adapt to the needs of catching up and chasing enemy ships during combat. They are quite powerful war killers, with good airworthiness, handling performance and high speed!
Small warships are also diverse, and the fast ships used for patrols such as yachts, red horse boats, etc.
With these alone, we can see the strength of Qi State. It has a developed economy and can have economic support. Each warship is extremely costly, and manufacturing, operation and maintenance requires great costs!
Of course, there is another very important point, that is, the support of Lu!
The craftsmen of Lu are famous craftsmen in the world, good at manufacturing, and have advanced and superb technology!
These all constitute the status of the overlord of Qi's sea area!
The first navy in mainland China is worthy of its name!
Qi State is the country that uses sea areas on the mainland and explores the most sea areas. Qi State's economic development is also inseparable from the application of marine waters.
Of course, there is also the most powerful navy fleet!
In addition to warships, there are also many supply ships that carry fresh water and food to ensure the cost of the warrior crew!
It can be said that the Qi navy system is quite mature. Although there are many warships and large scale, they are not messy and orderly!
And at the forefront, three large warships advanced in unison!
This kind of warship is different from other warships. From the outside, it has a metal texture!
The bow of the ship is a big beast, like a deep-sea beast, giving people a sense of hideousness!
Steel Tower Boat!
The pinnacle of Lu's craftsmen in shipbuilding is also an absolute killer at sea!
It is roaming on the sea, absolutely invincible, and it is said to never sink!
The main structure of this ship is made of fine iron, including the hull, keel, etc.
This also makes it very heavy, has a deep draft, and of course it is quite stable.
No attack can cause damage to it!
Of course, its power is also very advanced. It is made by craftsmen in Lu State who make special paddles, and it also requires a lot of manpower to drive it!
From this we can also see the skill level of craftsmen in Lu State. Not to mention other things, this iron smelting technology is definitely far superior to other countries.
And on this kind of steel tower ship, it is loaded with the most powerful weapons.
Powerful large crossbows, etc.
Many large-scale weapons on land are loaded and are the most advanced and powerful weapons made by craftsmen in Lu!
It's an absolute killer!
And all these things further illustrate the determination of Qi State!
A navy of this size cannot be dispatched just by wanting to do it, it requires a considerable cost!
Especially for Qi, which is now in a recession, it is also a heavy burden!
But Qi State still dispatched!
From the overall strategic perspective, the main battlefield must be Zhao State, which is the home court of Chu State!
The State of Qi took advantage of its advantages and sailed far away to attack Zhao from the waters.
This is the shortcoming of Zhao State, and it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!
In the past few years, it was the first time for the Qi State to dispatch a navy of this scale!
Emperor Gao Yanzong of Qi, his determination to destroy Zhao was to the extreme!
I also want to prove that even if Qi is weak, he is still a sleeping tiger and the absolute overlord of the sea, unparalleled!
This is not only a war to fight for the hegemony of the continent, but also a battle of plunder and a battle to destroy the country!
Qi State has experienced an economic crisis, the domestic economy is in a recession, and social contradictions are sharp!
It is necessary to transfer domestic conflicts abroad, and foreign wars are the best choice!
Plunder is also one of the main purposes!
Therefore, this battle must be won!
The fleet sails on the sea surface, and above the warships, a large croaker flutters in the sea breeze, and the huge characters on it show their style!
And on the deck of the steel tower ship in the middle, there were a group of people talking and staring into the distance!
This is the main ship!
It is also a commanding battleship!
Under the banner of Qi, there is a battle flag, with the dragon flying and phoenix dancing with the word Rong embroidered!
Prince Rong!
The most powerful prince of Qi State and the most trusted prince of Qi Emperor, the navy of Qi State is controlled by this Prince Rong!
It can be imagined that its power is so great!
The prince is the prince of the royal family, all of whom are royal family members, and has the same bloodline, such as uncles, nephews, etc.
Prince Rong is the brother of Emperor Gao Yanzong of Qi!
He was fifty years old and did not have the grace of a noble prince, but he had a kind of iron blood.
Dressed with armor, this momentum even disperses!
He is the prince and a famous general!
He deserves to control the navy!
"That Wang Kang is really hateful!"
Beside Prince Rong is Gao Xiu, the fifth prince of Qi!
He volunteered!
He failed to win over Murong Zhao in Yan State, and even touched the ashes, which made him angry.
And this time, the first battle with the Navy must be in Nanbo City and Nanshawan!
Especially Nanshawan, it is Wang Kang’s fief!
There are his most painful memories and the most shameful ones!
He wants to take revenge!
There is no doubt that the navy's strength will win this battle, and he can also overcome a layer of gold.
Gao Xiu was also wearing armor, looking heroic, but his face was extremely gloomy, destroying this heroic spirit!
"The Fuyang Chamber of Commerce actually secretly transferred grain storage in secret, which is really hateful!"
This is what Gao Xiu was angry about.
When the price of grain in Qi soared, it was the great price that Emperor Gao Yanzong of Qi paid to negotiate with Wang Kang, which caused the grain price to fall sharply and recover as usual!
Through a flip operation, the grain on the market was basically wiped out by Fuyang and the grain prices were controlled!
Recently, the two sides have had a stalemate and grain prices have soared again. The Qi court began to take strong measures against Fuyang and went to Fuyang's grain warehouse, but found it empty!
At this time, they discovered that the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce had begun to move out in pieces very early!
The Fuyang Chamber of Commerce is too large and I want to use many channels. It can be done by borrowing other names or using shells!
When I discovered it, it was too late!
There is no doubt that this has made Qi State even worse!
"What you lost will be taken back this time!"
Prince Rong's face was as usual, but his plain words made everyone's spirits double!
Gao Xiu said, "Nanshawan is Wang Kang's fiefdom and the most prosperous place. Our first battle is Nanshawan!"
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple!"
Chapter completed!
