Chapter 444: The idea is a bit wrong
This thing looks silly, stupid, and pretty useless, but in reality, it's an absolutely huge killer.
This era...
Sail battleships rely on wind power to operate. What if there is no wind? Or what if the wind is not what you want?
Reality is funny and helpless!
The boat will just stay there until the wind you want arrives, and you can sail again.
Just imagine, Li Jize's sailing battleship was almost a one-to-one copy of a Western battleship after he dismantled it.
If there is no difference, and the two sides meet at sea, the outcome is 50-50. Whoever waits for the wind you want and has the larger number of boats will win.
But now it’s different…
Li Jize's artillery fires shrapnel shells. If the two sides encounter each other, they will fight in a windless area.
Haha! The foreigners’ boat broke down, and they thought Li Jize’s boat would also break down, and then… Li Jize could teach them a lesson and give them a good slap in the face.
Are you kidding me? We can use our feet.
If you stay there, you will become a sitting duck, but I have no wind and can change direction at any time, using all the artillery on my flanks to attack you, which will definitely catch you by surprise.
Of course! People today can't see this far ahead. They just think this warship is too terrifying! It actually has no power and can move on its own.
After reaching a windy area, the sails were lowered and the boat officially began to operate. Then, amid the cheers of the people, the boat began to practice.
Especially what they want to see the most...
All the guns on one side fired a full salvo, spitting out flames wildly, and then bombarding the target ship.
I'm a darling!
They were all stunned. Men's romance is like cannons and big ships, especially at the moment when flames were spewing out, the blood of all men was ignited.
Amid the cheers of every onlooker, a salvo of fire blew the target ship into pieces, leaving only wood chips.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. The spies from various forces and the Eastern Japanese hiding in the crowd were all frightened and their faces turned pale and their eyes were dumbfounded.
Because they all understood that as long as Tianjiang was there, as long as the sea was there, as long as these "giants" were there...
Qingzhou! It can never be conquered!
In other words, now on the sea, no one can compete with Li Jize's Qin army.
Of course, whether it was Li Zhenbei or the Empress, it didn't matter if they didn't see the army. After all, during this period of feudal times, land power was still supreme.
They really couldn't understand why Li Jize spent so much manpower, material resources and financial resources to create these useless wastes?
Are you planning to stay in Qingzhou forever?
But the people of East Japan, a nation of maritime power, had already clamped their legs together, feeling a dampness in their crotch. Horrible! It was truly horrible!
He finally understood why there were so many Qikou pirates and why these pirates were so good at fighting!
Damn it, Da Qi, a land-based nation, has taken a forked path. Instead of focusing on land-based technology, it has focused on maritime technology.
This is also the reason why, even though they were beaten to a pulp by the barbarians, they could still go out to sea to plunder the barbarians, right?
If you can’t win on land, then go to the sea?
If the Qi army's naval power is so strong, it would seem easy for them to wipe out the pirates.
Thinking about it...
Hinata Kojiro, a native of Eastern Japan, suddenly had an idea. He thought of a way to eliminate the pirates without spending money.
He immediately sent another letter back, telling them what he had seen and heard, and then asked his East Japanese envoys to go and plead with the Emperor to send the navy to eliminate the pirates.
Yes! This guy thinks that if the Qin King’s navy is so awesome, how awesome must the Great Qi Emperor’s navy be?
Li Jize was still foolishly waiting for the envoy from East Japan to come and ask for help. After seeing such a terrifying maritime force, he would definitely come to ask for help, right?
As long as he dared to ask for help, Li Jize would dare to ask for a huge sum of money! Then he could make money and beat his brother up and teach him a lesson. It was simply great.
result……
Li Jize had never expected that he had overestimated the intelligence of this East Japanese envoy. Not only did he not come to beg, he also did not buy firearms! Instead, he went to beg the empress.
You can't blame the Dongwo people. They don't know the situation of your Great Qi. They just think that if the King of Qin of Great Qi is so powerful, then the Emperor must be even more powerful.
this is not……
The empress had just read the information brought back by the envoy. Li Jize's navy was extremely powerful and might have the power to blockade the entire Tianjiang River.
The empress was a little scared, but not that scared.
She was afraid that she and Li Jize had fallen out, and that Li Jize might blockade the entire Tianjiang River, making her lose the right to unify the country. However, the navy was useless, as this was still an era of land power.
Until the Eastern Japanese envoy team came again!
The empress was puzzled. What were these Eastern Japanese going to do? Hadn't she already issued an imperial decree to Li Jize, who had also stated that he would not sell weapons to the pirates?
Why are you here again?
"Xuan!"
Just like that, the empress met the envoy from East Japan again, and asked him the purpose of his visit.
The envoy knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and flattered the empress. This made the empress very happy. You know, before, these guys said that they were not from Qi and there was no need to kowtow to the emperor, so they did not perform the ceremony.
But after he issued an imperial edict to Li Jize, they kowtowed immediately?
Just when the empress was feeling complacent, the next moment the envoy said something that made her stay in Bengbu.
"The Great Emperor of Great Qi possesses such a celestial master, both accomplished in civil and military virtues. I earnestly request that, for the sake of friendship between our two nations, you send troops to help us quell the pirate rebellion!"
The empress was smiling the moment before, but the next moment she immediately said MMP after the messenger said this.
He's pushing his luck! This bastard, she had already issued an imperial decree to him before. This was the only thing she could do.
But now...
Shameless thing, he actually wanted to send his own troops to help them, the Eastern Japanese, quell the pirates. What could he use to send his own troops? Isn't this just asking for something against their will?
"This……"
The empress was embarrassed, her face flushed red, and she was at a loss. Fortunately, the cabinet's chief minister, Nguyen Daying, stepped forward. Looking at the East Japanese envoy, he said helplessly, "Sir, of course we are willing to send troops for the sake of friendship between our two countries! However, your country is far away overseas. How can we send troops from land? If this pirate were a mountain bandit, it would be fine, but how can he be defeated at sea?"
"The navy of Da Qi is invincible!"
