Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

With Qin Ming's quick departure, he arrived in Yinshan County in less than half a day.

As soon as they arrived here, Wu Shizhong, who had already received the news, rushed over quickly.

"Your Highness, you haven't visited us for a long time."

When he spoke, Qin Ming could hear a sense of complacency and anticipation in his words.

Ever since Wu Shizhong started working with Qin Ming, his performance has been very good.

Not only did they build the port successfully, but they also recruited thousands of people to the shipyard.

Today, Yinshan County is even richer than some major cities in Lingnan.

Now that they have made money, every household can afford a bicycle.

Sometimes I would cross the mountain roads and go to Qiantang City specifically for fun.

"Yes, I came here today to see when the Nanyang merchant caravan will arrive."

"They have arrived, but there are fewer of them this time. They seem to be caught up in internal strife."

As he spoke, Wu Shizhong's expression became more serious.

"Internal strife?"

"It's mainly because the people of the Fire Worship Nation are constantly provoking disputes. Let them tell you the specific situation."

"Ah."

Qin Ming came to the port with Wu Shizhong.

Several yards have been built on their side of the port.

It is specially used to receive members of the fleet coming from overseas for trade.

After entering a spacious courtyard, Qin Ming saw several old acquaintances.

Hu Haisheng from the Citian Kingdom, Ji Zhun from the Penglai Kingdom, and Chu Huaishan from the Tianming Kingdom were all there.

"Your Highness!"

"His Highness is here!"

……

Seeing Qin Ming coming, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, stood up and saluted him.

They have great respect for Qin Ming.

After seeing them, Qin Ming slowly walked forward and exchanged a few words with them.

Then the internal affairs of the Nanyang countries were also mentioned.

"I heard that a war has started over there."

Hu Haisheng sighed and replied:

"Yes, the Fire Worshiping Nation is now controlled by the Bai family. The third son of the Bai family is the Fire Worshiping Nation's state teacher. Since the death of Bai Mo from the Bai family, he has been taking advantage of the opportunity to start a war."

"Is Bai Mo's status very high in the Bai family?"

Qin Ming thought of Bai Mo, whom he had killed before, and the Fire Baiting Kingdom’s fleet, and suddenly became confused.

Hearing what he said, everyone shook their heads.

Chu Huaishan explained:

"Bai Mo is not important. They just need an excuse to start a war."

"Is the Fire Worship Nation really that strong?"

"Yeah, they seem to have some stronger backstage support."

"A more powerful backer?"

Qin Ming was stunned. He knew that this world was different from the ancient dynasty he remembered.

However, they did not expect that in addition to their side, there were actually some top dynasties nearby that wanted to take over the South Seas countries.

"We don't know the specific situation. After all, the routes we know are different."

Everyone spoke up, feeling somewhat helpless at this moment.

Qin Ming patted their shoulders and then took out some muskets that had been discarded by his army.

"You can all use these muskets and cannons."

"If you need more later, you can ask me for more. After all, this matter started because of me, and I will help you to the end."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

They knew that Qin Ming had just experienced a war and was also in a tense state.

I didn't expect Qin Ming to lend a helping hand at this time.

When they thought of this, everyone bowed and clasped their fists to Qin Ming and said:

"Your Highness is so righteous, and we will never forget it."

"It's okay, but you all need to quickly adapt to the rhythm of firearms combat. If you can master it, you won't have to worry even if you go back to face the Fire Worship Nation."

Qin Ming opened his mouth slowly and explained to them.

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped forward and began to study Qin Ming's musket.

Qin Ming was standing beside them, explaining to them the various ways of using it.

"These cannons and muskets are very useful. If they can be used in naval battles, they can easily sink the enemy ships."

After Ji Zhun tried it out in the nearby forest, he immediately made a judgment.

After hearing his words, Hu Haisheng next to him frowned and said:

"I think it might not be that easy to use in a short period of time. It's very different from our original fighting style, and I don't know if the soldiers can adapt to it."

"Everyone, I have an opportunity for you to practice with real weapons. Even the opponents you face won't be too strong."

"what?!"

After hearing this, everyone looked up excitedly.

Qin Ming did not hide anything and said directly:

"I'm not shy about telling you all. I'm currently clearing out a group of Japanese pirates. They're not numerous, but they're very annoying. If you'd like to train a group of soldiers for naval warfare, you can come with me to the battlefield and give it a try."

"As for all the gunpowder consumed, I will cover it. After this is over, I will give you a sum of silver as a subsidy. You can use this silver to exchange for gunpowder and muskets."

When these words were spoken, everyone raised their eyebrows.

"That's a good idea."

Ji Zhun nodded immediately.

Chu Huaishan on the side said:

"Your Highness, I will be staying here for half a month. I can help you during this half month."

Qin Ming's productivity is now very high, and the price of his output is still very low.

Every time a Nanyang merchant caravan came to purchase, they would stay for about half a month.

During this period, they can naturally arrange some manpower to help Qin Ming solve the problem.

This is a win-win plan.

Wu Shizhong, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face after hearing Qin Ming's arrangement.

He originally thought that Qin Ming came here to do business with the Nanyang merchant caravan.

Who knew that he would directly drag them to the battlefield to help him deal with the Japanese pirates.

But just like he said

If these people go there this time, they will definitely have an unexpected effect.

"You all don't need to participate in the frontal battle. You just need to use your extremely fast ships to help me intercept the Japanese pirates wandering on the sea. The danger is not high."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will help you kill as many as we see."

"We have blocked this sea area for you!"

The most important thing in dealing with these Japanese pirates is to restrict their escape.

This is the only way to catch them all.

Normally, the people under Prince Duan had no experience in naval battles.

Not to mention the small boats chasing the Japanese pirates at sea.

But the Nanyang merchant caravans are different, the ships they have are all fast ships.

Their shipbuilding technology is much better than that of the Japanese pirates.

If we let them take action, it would be easy to catch them.

After discussing this matter with them.

Qin Ming handed them the map of the nearby sea area, then turned to Wu Shizhong and said:

"Let's go to the shipyard."

"okay!"
