Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 647 Prelude to War

"If a person who accomplishes great things lacks courage, what's the difference between him and a bug?"

Xiao Tianzhu frowned and advised.

"We've already lost our way out. If we don't seize this opportunity, giving Yan Ziqiong a chance to catch her breath before launching a counterattack, how many more years will we have to waste with His Highness the Third Prince?"

"Brother Wanyan is a wise man, it's impossible for him not to understand this!"

Xiao Tianzhu has great ambitions.

Wanyan Tielu had already discovered this when he first came with him to work under Yan Zheng.

Under his management and cooperation with Wanyan Tielu's troops, Yan Zheng quickly stood out among the princes.

Yan Ziqiong, who had made a lot of preparation and had a deep foundation, began to gradually widen the gap between her and Yan Zheng.

"Then let's do it."

Wanyan Tielu also felt that a decision should be made immediately.

"That's right!"

After the two men had discussed it, they split up and went in two directions.

On the other side, Yan Ziqiong had already started using a telegraph to contact Qin Ming through the intelligence station at sea.

She told Qin Ming everything that was going on in Yan Dynasty and waited for Qin Ming's reaction.

At night, Qin Ming called Ye Shoujiang and Chen Shimao to the Yangxin Palace.

Show the two of them the situation that Yan Ziqiong sent.

"Given the current situation, civil unrest in the Yan Dynasty is inevitable. I wonder what you two think."

Chen Shimao pondered for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If a battle were to begin, it would be a world-shaking event. It would not only affect the Yan Dynasty, but would also have a significant impact on the foreign trade of our Daqian."

"I believe that if this matter is to be done, we must take the initiative and assist Yan Ziqiong. Otherwise, if we lose the initiative, we may fall into a disadvantage and it will be difficult to recover."

Chen Shimao’s idea is right.

Yan Ziqiong is already in a very passive position. If this battle must be fought, she can only gain the upper hand by taking the initiative.

Otherwise, if the Yan Dynasty royal family really arranges the Tiger Roar Guards to blockade her entire territory, Yan Ziqiong will be like a fish on the chopping board, and she will have no chance to struggle!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chen, there is actually something more important right now."

Ye Shoujiang frowned slightly and said with a serious expression.

"You mean the attitude of the royal family?"

Qin Ming and Chen Shimao both knew what he was talking about.

Ye Shoujiang nodded and said:

"They definitely knew about this earlier than the Wu and Yun families."

"But the Yan Dynasty royal family is also rude. They knew that not expressing their views might cause war within the Yan Dynasty, but they still waited until Yan Zheng returned to the court and continued to play deaf and dumb."

The silence of the Yan Dynasty royal family almost tacitly agreed to let Yan Zheng and Yan Ziqiong confront each other.

Qin Ming shook his head and smiled:

"It's not that they won't express their views, but they want to wait until there is a result between the two sides before expressing their views."

"Um!?"

Ye Shoujiang's eyes widened, and he instantly understood what Qin Ming meant.

"Isn't it like they're raising a Gu by doing this?!"

"Yes, only by letting these princes and princesses fight each other can we see who has the real ability."

"From the beginning to the end, it was the forces within their fiefdom that were fighting, and it would not affect the overall situation."

Qin Ming spoke calmly. The reason why he was willing to send troops directly was because he knew that these high-ranking royal family members were unwilling to get involved.

They would rather reap the benefits.

No matter who wins in the end, it will be a very good choice for them.

Although Yan Ziqiong is somewhat inferior to Yan Zheng, she has the support of Qin Ming behind her.

Although Yan Zheng appeared powerful on the surface, he was only promoted temporarily in the selection of the crown prince, and it had been less than two years.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that we can help them directly?"

"Yes."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, and Ye Shoujiang immediately understood what he meant.

"Then let me go."

The last time, Ye Shoujiang was far inferior to the opponent in terms of weapons, equipment, and number of tanks.

There was no time to fight with the elephant army.

This time he finally had the opportunity, and he planned to go to Yan Dynasty again as an advance team.

"Well, a batch of giant flaming ships should have been built this time. You can take these ships with you."

Qin Ming slowly opened his mouth and revealed to him an extremely shocking piece of news.

The moment they heard the news, Chen Shimao and Ye Shoujiang widened their eyes.

"The giant flaming ship... succeeded!?"

This is a huge warship that Qin Ming and his team reconstructed after improving the steam ship and replacing it with an internal combustion engine.

Not only will the sailing speed increase a lot, but the loading capacity will also be improved.

Such a fleet is more advanced than before.

"Does this mean we can send more tanks this time?"

"Of course. Every war must yield something."

Qin Ming nodded with a smile.

"From now on, those steam warships will be used to transport goods and conduct trade."

"As for these top-tier ships, they will all be handed over to you to control the transportation of supplies and to communicate with the countries in Southeast Asia. When the time comes, have them assist you in the supply of materials."

"no problem."

"By the way, I have a new team to hand over to you."

When talking about this matter, Ye Shoujiang was a little curious.

"Are there any new troops?"

"Yes, Heifu previously sent out a group of people to receive training on the latest weapons. They are now proficient in the use of howitzers, cannons, and nitro explosives."

"These are the latest group of ace soldiers I've trained. You can take them over and let them demonstrate their effectiveness. Perhaps they will be the best troops to deal with the Giant Elephant Army."

To help Yan Ziqiong become the crown prince.

Qin Ming also used his latest method.

Although the Yan Dynasty had developed very well during this period, it even acquired some gunpowder technology, built its own factories and armed its army.

But these weapons are still several generations behind Qin Ming's.

There will definitely be a difference when you actually see it on the battlefield.

"With the two of them as my troops, I feel more at ease."

Chen Shimao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember this time you can only fight within the territory of Yan Ziqiong and Yan Zheng. Don't fight outside."

"During this period, we must maintain Yan Ziqiong's port trade. Your Majesty and I will then work together to disrupt their internal production and trade."

Qin Ming and his team have money and a lot of goods, so they can have a huge effect within the radiation range of the entire sea and land.

With Qin Ming as her backup, Yan Ziqiong has a trustworthy backer.

There will be more opportunities.

After discussing with Ye Shoujiang, Qin Ming sent the message to Yan Ziqiong.

Two days later, Yan Ziqiong finally received the long-awaited telegram from Qin Ming.

After seeing what was written above, Yan Ziqiong covered her mouth, her body softened, and she sat directly on the chair.

Her nerves have been on edge for many days.

Only when he got the exact news from Qin Ming did he truly relax.
