Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"What?"

Liu Chuang stared with his eyes as big as copper bells, his face full of confusion.

Fortunately, there was someone who understood next to him.

Wu Shizhong said tentatively:

"Your Majesty has arranged for the majority of the troops to reach the outer seas. The main force has traveled so far, presumably not just to undertake the blockade mission."

"Could it be that after completely annihilating the Yan army, they will continue their march towards the Yan Dynasty?"

"Ah."

Qin Ming nodded lightly.

If you have the ability, you must use it.

The new things they made on the battlefield last time, such as howitzers, nitro explosives, etc., were only made in batches on a temporary basis, and the quantity was far from enough to arm the entire army.

But now Qin Ming has returned to Daqian, and with the help of local factories, he can even arm the entire army.

Each armored warship had more than a dozen cannons.

Qin Ming didn't dare to imagine what the scene would be like when he actually went to the battlefield!

This is another step forward for their military industry.

It will affect the pattern of this world.

Of course, the Yan Dynasty troops could never have imagined at this time that after sailing all the way, what was waiting for them at the end of the journey was a fully armed super-large army.

"So this is ah!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

When Liu Chuang heard that he could go to Yan Dynasty in person, he burst into laughter to ease the embarrassment.

Qin Ming repeatedly warned him:

"I have requirements for letting you go. Based on your performance in this naval battle, if you fail to meet my requirements, Wu Qingye will be sent instead."

"Ah? Lao Wu is leading the construction corps from outside the northern border, repairing the relocated civilians. Let me take over. I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"

Liu Chuang patted his chest and made a promise to Qin Ming.

Then he quickly arranged all his troops on board.

His troops were the most famous and fiercest Fire Camp in Daqian.

It is fundamentally different from the Lin Camp that Cao Chuan brought to Yan Dynasty to fight positional warfare.

The Fire Camp emphasizes aggression like fire.

With the help of Qin Ming's powerful firearms, there is no enemy in the world that they cannot defeat.

"Not bad, quite energetic."

Qin Ming looked at Liu Chuang's departing back and said with a smile.

At this time, Wu Shizhong whispered to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, we are very pressed for time. The Yan army has already set out. If it weren't for the large number of people slowing down their pace, they would have reached Daqian long ago."

"Even now, they are less than two days' journey from Daqian."

What Wu Shizhong meant was to seize the time, mobilize ships and deploy a defense network.

Qin Ming looked up at the huge armored warship and nodded slowly:

"Let's go!"

It took two days for Qin Ming to complete all his arrangements.

He also personally brought six armored warships to the outer sea area.

This place is hundreds of miles away from the Daqian coast.

What meets the eye is a vast ocean and the pitch-black sea surface, indicating that the depth of the ocean in front of you is difficult to see.

If the ship is destroyed here, there will be no possibility of survival.

"Your Majesty, we found it!"

Through the telegraph, Qin Ming arranged for the scattered exploration troops to quickly discover the enemy's traces.

"Northeast thirty-five, five miles."

With a compass and a telegraph, Qin Ming's troops had a very good sense of direction on the ocean.

In fact, the Yan Dynasty had long ago only traded with the Southeast Asian countries.

It’s not that they don’t have the ability to sail out to sea, but that they don’t have the ability!

Ever since Qin Ming invented the compass in Daqian, it has been able to easily point the direction for ships sailing far away.

This thing spread to the countries in Southeast Asia.

Because the first batch of compasses were considered magical and very useful in navigation.

The price of compasses has been driven up very high in the countries of Southeast Asia!

When it is most expensive, it is even worth a fortune.

Fortunately, Qin Ming's factory grew stronger and could easily produce compasses and sell them all over the world.

This has brought down the price of overseas compasses a lot.

But even so, it would cost several hundred taels of silver to buy it.

It was after Qin Ming sold it to the Nanyang countries that the Yan Dynasty obtained a batch of compasses from the Nanyang countries, thus opening the era of long-distance navigation.

These twists and turns alone indicate that the technological gap between Yan Dynasty and Daqian is as huge as an insurmountable chasm.

"Full speed ahead!"

Qin Ming immediately gave orders and used the telegraph to notify all armored warships to sail towards the direction they had discovered.

Soon, a group of people saw a large, dark fleet in the distance.

“So many people!”

Seeing hundreds of thousands of people attacking from the sea for the first time, the troops under Qin Ming's command were a little shocked for a moment.

The warships with 300,000 people stretched across the sea, like a huge mountain filling the sea.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ming did not feel too much emotion.

"Prepare to attack!"

As Qin Ming's order was given, six warships wrapped in steel armor quickly lined up.

In the distance, the coalition forces of the Four Pillar States were so happy that their mouths were almost crooked with smiles when they saw that there were only six ships.

They didn't even attack, but instead kept getting closer to Qin Ming.

Seeing their actions, Qin Ming raised the corner of his mouth, having guessed what they meant.

Sure enough, when the enemy warship approached within a certain range, a figure appeared on the bow of the front ship.

"Qin Ming, I didn't expect you to be back!"

"It seems that Daqian really has nothing left. They only arranged six warships!"

"Do you know how many troops we have?"

"Three hundred thousand! How can you, with your ants trying to stop a tree, stop it? You're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

The Yan army troops in the rear all burst into laughter after the general made a sarcastic remark.

Qin Ming watched them jumping around in front of him and found it funny.

"You dare not even give your name?"

"Of course I dare! I'll always keep my name and surname, the second son of the Yun family, Yun Mingyang!"

Because they set out from the west coast, the commander of the Yan army was naturally someone sent by the Yun family.

This middle-aged general named Yun Mingyang has a very high status in the Yun family, second only to the head of the Yun family.

"So he's from the Yun family."

Qin Ming nodded lightly, as if he was talking to his subordinates.

Such an attitude instantly annoyed Yun Mingyang!

"Insanity!"

"Qin Ming, you only have six warships, you can't stop us!"

"If you're smart, step back now and hand over Daqian to us. After Yan Chao takes over Daqian, maybe we'll be so happy that we can even make you a third-class noble!"

"If you don't know what's best for you, you might not even be able to leave this sea today!"

Before the Yan army arrived, they were all prepared for a fierce battle.

But when they actually arrived, they realized that they had thought too much.

Daqian is nothing to be afraid of!

But at this time, Qin Ming laughed loudly, and with the help of his internal strength, the sound could be heard from far away on the sea.

"You are a man of witty remarks and a lot of jokes. Are all the people in charge of the Four Pillars of the Yan Dynasty as naive as you and like to talk nonsense?"
