Chapter 579: Pingfa 3 Mountain Kingdom

PS: There are two more chapters, I will come later
The atmosphere in the main hall was a bit quiet.
Cao Zhengyang made a group of businessmen feel the gap between them and the Cao family.
Xiao Ming smiled, "The treasurer Cao is really a role model for businessmen, and the king accepted the 20,000 war horses."
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite." Cao Zhengyang said.
Upon seeing this, Ding Wu said: "His Royal Highness, the Caomin will give your Highness some iron ore."
"His Royal Highness, Cao Min gives cloth."
"I give food and grass."
"..."
A group of businessmen rushed to express their stance, for fear of lagging behind others. They had already tasted the sweetness of the last Northern Expedition, and now they all want to continue to let Xiao Ming start the war.
"So, I would like to thank you all." Xiao Ming was also very vigilant when he felt the enthusiasm of the businessmen. Capital was chasing profits. These businessmen came here to say that they were war bonds, essentially to profit from the war.
So they are very diligent, the purpose is not to stop Xiao Ming's footsteps.
However, Xiao Ming's footsteps really couldn't stop. He didn't get the rich materials he wanted in Yangzhou this time, so he could only capture the Sanshan Kingdom, an island country colonized by the Japanese nation.
For the sake of food and grass, and for the safety of the sea routes, because Yue Yun heard the news, the Japanese pirates were getting supplies from the Three Mountains Kingdom and harassing the merchant ships on the routes.
Now the sea route is the lifeline of Qingzhou. He didn't want to make any mistakes. Therefore, a day ago he ordered Yue Yun to lead three thousand Marines to capture the Three Mountains Kingdom and merge the Three Mountains Kingdom into the territory of the sealed country.
At this time, the huge Qingzhou fleet was sailing at sea, and after receiving orders from Xiao Ming, he set off from Tongzhou to the Kingdom of Three Mountains.
On the third day, Yue Yun walked onto the deck, and the island known as the Kingdom of Three Mountains appeared in his telescope.
A smile was raised at the corner of his mouth, and a stone in Yue Yun's heart fell to the ground. It is very difficult to find an island in the vast sea. If there is no sea chart, he doesn't know how long to find it.
"Xia Chengmo, is there a dock in Sanshan Kingdom?" Yue Yun turned to ask a dark and thin young man, because the fleet was not familiar with this area the first time he came to this sea area, so when he was in Tongzhou, Yue Yun made people spend money to find someone who had been to the Three Mountains Kingdom as a guide.
The young man called Xia Chengmo said: "There is a dock to dock, but..."
"Just what, just say it." Yue Yun said.
"Since the Three Mountains Kingdom became a vassal of the Japanese pirates, few people have come here, because the Marine Corps of the Three Mountains Kingdom became the pawns of the Japanese pirates, and they attacked the merchant ships of the Great Yu Kingdom together with the Japanese pirates, saying that they were navy. They are pirates, and the head of the Navy of the Three Mountains Kingdom is called Hu Hai."
"Hu Hai? You are so brave to attack the merchant ships of our great Yu country." Yue Yun said angrily.
Xia Chengmo continued: "He is more than audacious. All the merchant ships passing through this sea area were paid for the road. Otherwise, the merchant ships would be looted within a few days, and no one left alive. Now there is a fleet of Great Yu Kingdom patrolling them on the sea. It’s just a little safer."
The first mate came up from the cabin when the two were talking. He heard the conversation between the two and said: "General, Your Royal Highness let us regain the Kingdom of Three Mountains. This time, we will destroy this Hu Hai. The next official is here. I also encountered Hu Hai’s pirate ship during sea training."
After the number of battleships increased, Xiao Ming promoted Yue Yun to general and also promoted some naval generals. This Liu Chen was one of the outstanding naval generals.
Xia Chengmo smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "Lieutenant Liu, don't underestimate these pirates. Didn’t the King of Chu ever dispatch a warship to destroy these pirates before, but these pirates ran away when they saw the warship. When I came back, it was useless. The sea is so big, where to find them. Until later, even King Chu didn't bother to control it."
The distant coastline is getting closer and closer to the fleet. Yue Yun said, "Don't worry about these, we have our own way. You only need to lead us to the dock where the Three Mountains Kingdom can moor."
Having said so much, both Liu Chen and Yue Yun looked firm, without any fear, a trace of pride flashed in Xia Chengmo's eyes. They used to be afraid of pirates and Japanese pirates. Now they have the Qingzhou fleet as the backing. He is nothing. Don't be afraid, if he was given a hundred taels of silver before, he would not take them to find the demon Hu Hai.
Since the Qingzhou battleship patrolled the sea, Hu Hai has been paying attention to the movements of the Qingzhou battleship. This time he came to the Kingdom of Three Mountains without hiding him. On the dock, looking at the approaching fleet, Hu Hai's face was extremely cold, his eagle eyes narrowed slightly. Up.
"What to do? General." By Hu Hai's side was a big man with a sturdy waist. The clothes he wore were obviously different from those of Da Yu, he was a Japanese.
After looting for so long at sea, Hu Hai has experienced strong winds and waves. He pondered for a while and said: "You are now leading two hundred ships to ambush in the waters ten miles away from the dock. This Qingzhou fleet is just a simple docking, but If they want to deal with us, if we can't say we have to fight with them, hehe, maybe we can get these warships."
The dock was getting closer and closer, and Yue Yun on the battleship picked up the telescope and looked at the dock. In his field of vision, there were many ships docked on the dock, many of which were unique to the Japanese country.
Yue Yun took a closer look, and the people who came and went on the dock were carrying matchlocks~EbookFREE.me~ and some people were driven to carry goods.
"Apart from this dock, are there any other docking docks?" Yue Yun asked again, this time he was going to catch it all at once, not giving Hu Hai a chance to escape.
Xia Chengmo told him that the current king of the Three Mountains Kingdom has become a puppet, and the real power lies in Hu Hai's hands.
"I don't know this, we are not allowed to go here."
Nodding his head, Yue Yun said to the flag whisperer: "Let the warship make a formation at a distance of 500 meters from the pier, surround the transport ship in the middle, and on the outer side, all the gunners are in place."
"Yes, General!" The semaphore reached the bow and began to whistle. After the semaphore was over, the twenty-four warships began to change their driving directions. When they were about to arrive at the pier, the formation of the fleet was basically straight. .
While driving, Liu Chen and Yue Yun have been using binoculars to observe the movement of the wharf. "It seems that they didn't have any good ideas." Liu Chen put down the binoculars and said, many people at the wharf have been hidden in the boat. Some musketeers hid in the bushes, but none of this escaped the eyes of the two of them, "I want to say, just give the dock a few shots."
