The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

After this news reached the capital, the Emperor of Yan was in a great trouble and called Jiang Fan. He had never had a good solution for the Japanese pirates.

Previously, Jiang Fan focused all his energy on South Vietnam, North Mongolia and Dashi, so the Japanese pirates were only temporarily put aside.

After all, the Japanese pirates are only overseas pirates and cannot cause much harm to Dayan for the time being. But now, the Japanese pirates are approaching Yongning Prefecture, which is different.

To the east of Yongning Prefecture is the Dinghai Islands. If the enemy were to seize Yongning Prefecture and then occupy the Dinghai Islands, the Japanese pirates might really be able to occupy half of the coastal areas and establish themselves in Japan.

If we open up the sea route and connect with Japan, it will be troublesome. If we give the other party enough time to develop, I am afraid they may use the coastal areas to attack Dayan in one fell swoop, and finally occupy Dayan bit by bit.

"Fan'er, how are you going to deal with the Japanese pirates this time?" Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan with worry in his eyes.

Because the coastal areas have always been neglected, there is a shortage of troops. It would be good if each coastal city could have a thousand soldiers.

This gave the Japanese pirates an opportunity to occupy the five coastal cities. Because Dayan was busy dealing with the affairs of Daxi, Beimeng, and Nanyue, the five coastal cities had never been recovered.

There is really a shortage of troops. Even if there are enough troops, no general can shoulder this burden.

Now, the Japanese pirates are not content with the five coastal cities and have set their sights on Yongning Prefecture and Dinghai Island. This matter cannot be ignored.

Not to mention, Nanyue, Dashi and Beimeng have been pacified and are in the process of development and reform, so Dayan can focus its energy on fighting the Japanese pirates.

“父皇，对于这些倭人，最后的办法就是打……打痛他们，他们就是那种欠揍之辈，将他打服了，他会跪舔于你！”

"My son's intention is not only to eliminate the Japanese pirates along the coast, but also to incorporate the entire Japanese island into China and make it a province of China."

Jiang Fan looked towards Emperor Yan and said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan nodded. His idea was also to fight. For these foreign enemies who invade China, of course they must be punished no matter how far away they are!

"Who are you going to let do this?" Emperor Yan looked at Jiang Fan. Although he really wanted to hand this matter over to his son, he also knew that it would be a bit unreasonable to let someone else go at this time as his son was getting married.

Jiang Fan sent him out right after he got married to Su Yuqing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only one grandson and one granddaughter. Of course, the Yan Emperor's grandchildren are not only from Jiang Fan's lineage.

The previous princes all have children, but Emperor Yan is only close to Jiang Fan’s children. As for the others, because their father almost killed Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan does not like them.

Although several princes are now dead, with only the seventh and ninth princes left, their descendants have not been held accountable.

Emperor Yan was not really angry with his grandchildren, he just didn't like them very much.

"Father, let me do this! If someone else goes, I'm afraid they will suffer at the hands of those dwarves!" Jiang Fan said.

This dwarf made Emperor Yan a little stunned. He didn't understand why Jiang Fan called the Japanese pirates dwarves! Was it because of the word "Wa" on the other side?

The Emperor of Yan did not see the Japanese, so of course he did not know that the Japanese were actually a race born from the union of the Chinese and the natives of the Japanese islands. They looked the same as the Chinese.

However, perhaps due to the incomplete evolution of the natives of the Wa Island, they are very much like monkeys and are not very tall!

"But... you just got married, and you're leaving so soon... what will happen?" Emperor Yan looked a little hesitant.

"Nothing, the country comes first, then the family... If we can't deal with the Japanese, I'm afraid that one day in the future he will cause immeasurable harm to China. This matter can't be delayed!"

Jiang Fan shook his head at Emperor Yan, looking cautious. He was a man who had experienced this. In his previous life, the man from the Japanese island committed an unforgivable crime against the former China.

Since he has traveled to this parallel world, of course he can't let such a thing happen again. Therefore, no matter what, the Japanese pirates must be destroyed and the Japanese island must become a part of China.

At that time, as long as the Chinese people are moved to the island and the Japanese people are assimilated, after a long time, there will be no more Japanese people, only the Chinese province.

However, it is not difficult to deal with the Japanese pirates, but the difficulty lies in how to bring the Japanese islands under the rule of China. After all, the Japanese islands are far overseas and in the past they had to cross the ocean.

If it were in the past, with the speed of the ship, it would take about three to five days to reach Japan, but the prerequisite is the existence of a satellite positioning system.

But in this world, without a satellite positioning system and a fast enough ship, it would take at least a month, or even several months at most. If you are not careful, you may get lost at sea.

The shipping industry in Dayan is not well developed nowadays, and only experienced fishermen can know the direction. They also judge based on the position of the stars or the direction of the rising and setting sun.

However, although this question is difficult, it is also very simple for Jiang Fan.

If the compass was invented, it would solve the problem of being lost at sea. With a few more sailing experiences, one would be able to find the correct route to Japan.

As for the power and speed of ships, most of today's merchant ships rely on manpower and wind power, but what if they use steam engines? That's different! Nowadays, the technology of steam engines has become more and more mature after several months of development.

After all, Jiang Fan was developing on the shoulders of giants, with sufficient knowledge support, so of course his development speed was very fast.

Using a wooden hull and a steam engine, it is still possible to reach Japan in the shortest time possible. A round trip would only take half a month!

Jiang Fan has already made up his mind. After deciding to go to the coast, the first thing he will do is to deal with the Japanese pirates. At the same time, he will also contact the shipyard. If a ship can be built in a short time, everything will be fine.

Jiang Fan felt a little regretful. If he could find oil and refine it into gasoline, he could make an internal combustion engine.

In addition to oil, Jiang Fan also plans to start making generators to generate electricity using oil. Of course, Jiang Fan also plans to make small hydroelectric generators.

He used to work in a generator factory and knew the reasons behind generators, but the problem was that he didn't know the structure and principles of generators that used internal combustion engines to generate electricity.

The principle and manufacturing of the hydroelectric generator are not clear, but Jiang Fan has studied it carefully some time ago and also drawn some drawings.

If Su Yuqing could make a hydroelectric generator, maybe Dayan could enter the electrical age. Then, she could make a welding machine.

Then we can manufacture precision instruments, some high-tech industrial items, and even ferries.
