If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Because Su Yuan possessed a musket, Kenjiro suffered a crushing defeat every time he fought Su Yuan.

If it weren't for the fact that there are other lords separating them and that they don't share much land, Kenshiro probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.

Having experienced the power of the musket firsthand, Kenjiro used to cower before Su Yuan like a mouse before a cat, only able to stay put and not come out. Now that he also had a musket, he no longer needed to fear the other party.

"Distribute the muskets immediately and let the brothers get familiar with using them as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Japan was already in complete chaos, and with the addition of muskets, the fighting is expected to become even more brutal and chaotic in the near future.

. . . . .

Just as Zhou Wu saw Kenjiro's men off, Hu Sai sent another group, coincidentally, also about muskets.

The cause was that the Husai had Zhou Wu's muskets. Although the number was small, they terrified the uncivilized tribesmen, who believed that it was the descent of a god. Before the battle even began, they all knelt down and surrendered.

Therefore, the Houthis' meticulously prepared plan to seize the island ended before it even began.

Lüsong's second largest island was taken over by Hussein in a rather muddled manner, and Hussein instantly became the second largest armed group in Lüsong.

However, according to the information obtained by Hussein, the number of armed men on the first island still far exceeds that of his side, and he has heard that the shaman of the first island seems to have ventured out of the island before, so he may not be so easily fooled.

Hu Sai then sent someone with money to Zhou Wu, firstly to buy guns, and secondly to buy a boat.

Indeed, the Houthis have a big appetite; in addition to muskets, they also want to buy boats.

Luzon is an archipelago, so it's absolutely impossible to do without ships. Fortunately, after conquering the second and third islands in succession, all the gems that these tribes had previously collected were sold to the Hussein, so the Hussein had money to buy weapons.

Moreover, he immediately dispatched five Bull Demon Kings, along with several other smaller vessels.

"Looks like Hussein has really struck it rich."

Zhou Wu looked at Hu Sai's letter and the purchase list, and smiled with some relief.

Besides ships and muskets, the purchase list also included many daily necessities and food, indicating that Hussein intended to stay permanently in Lüsong's area.

"Yuan Liang."

"exist."

“Prepare for him according to Hussein’s list, pick out the best ones, and give him a discount.”

"Yes sir."

After Deng Yuanliang stepped down, he took charge of logistics in the South China Sea. It must be said that although Deng Yuanliang was not good at governing, his logistics management was impeccable.

"Brother Zhou, is that a letter from my brother?"

Just as Zhou Wu finished making the arrangements, he heard a little girl's voice.

"Um... Yuri, what brings you here?"

After Yuli left the South China Sea from Husai, she stayed at Zhou Wu's house. Because Li Baiwei and the others knew about the relationship between Zhou Wu and Husai, they took good care of Yuli, the little girl. In addition, Yuli was naturally lovable, so everyone doted on this little girl from another race.

"Don't try to fool me, I saw my brother's boat at the dock today."

Seeing Zhou Wu's expression, You Li knew that he was trying to coax her again, so she told him what she had seen.

"Aren't all boats the same? How can you recognize this one?"

This is weird. Is this girl trying to scam me?

"Hmph, in your eyes all boats are the same, but I recognize all of my brother's boats."

Zhou Wu was completely convinced.

"It's your brother's ship, but he didn't come back. He sent his men back to make the deal."

"Ah, oh."

The little girl was initially overjoyed to hear Zhou Wu admit it, but upon hearing that her brother hadn't returned, disappointment immediately showed on her face.

“Yuri, don’t be disappointed. You can write a letter to your brother and have him take it back to you.”

"Yeah, I can write to my brother. Humph, my brother is really something, he never writes to me."

The little girl's emotions came and went quickly; Zhou Wu calmed her down with just a few words, and You Li turned around and went back to her room to write a letter to her brother.

Zhou Wu had considered telling Yu Li the truth, but decided against it. It was better to wait for Hu Sai to tell him himself.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever; the origin of the Fusang Vulcan Spear was eventually discovered by Li Tiancheng's secret guards.

"Hmph, the West's reach is too far. Go tell Zhou Wu."

"Yes."

The Vulcan rifle originated in Western countries. When Zhou Wu received the message from Li Tiancheng, he was stunned.

"Damn it, these bastards were never quiet in my past life, and now they're back in this one?"

Zhou Wu shook his head violently, his eyes hardening in an instant.

"Hmph, you sons of bitches, come on! In the last life, you had the upper hand, but in this life, I'll make you pay for it all."

Zhou Wu had made up his mind that in this life, he would become a great power, invade other countries, and plunder their wealth.

In fact, Zhou Wu had been laying the groundwork for this long time. When maritime trade had just begun, Zhou Wu ordered the foreign trade fleet to collect and draw nautical charts and maps of various countries when they went to sea.

To date, while maritime trade remains most active in Southeast Asia, some fleets have already ventured beyond the region and are approaching Western countries. This suggests that the mystique surrounding Western nations will soon be unveiled.

Li Tiancheng sent a second secret memorial very quickly after the first one, which was quite rare. Zhou Wu quickly opened the secret memorial.

After reading it, Zhou Wu smiled, because what Li Tiancheng had sent this time could be considered good news.

. . . . .

Zhou Wu immediately convened a meeting with all the key personnel in the South China Sea.

"Sir, is there something urgent?"

Basically, after things got back on track in the South China Sea, they rarely held full-scale meetings anymore, so everyone was on high alert, thinking that something major had happened.

"Haha, guess!"

It was rare for Zhou Wu to be so happy during a large meeting.

"My lord, you seem so happy. I bet it's something good."

"Haha, not bad, His Majesty has ordered the expansion of the South China Sea Navy."

Zhou Wu had been in a state of excitement ever since he received Li Tiancheng's order to expand the navy.

"Expansion? That's great! How big should we expand this time?"

For the South China Sea, a few thousand soldiers in the army, along with muskets and artillery, would be sufficient.

However, the navy holds an extremely important position in the South China Sea.

"Guess the scale of our navy's expansion this time."

"Can we add another three thousand on top of the existing amount?"

"You only think the good things, so wouldn't that double the value?"

"Then add two thousand?"

"I think a thousand is about right."

They then chimed in with their own comments, creating quite a lively discussion.

"You guys are really used to living a poor life. If it's only a thousand or two thousand, I won't bother you."
