Chapter 5169 Convince Them

Wuchao Lake tutelary mansion.

Xiong Liangxiao asked with puzzlement on his face, "What is the imperial court's request? I haven't heard of any other requests from the imperial court."

"Naturally, the imperial court has requirements. This is not an extra, but a normal procedure. Your water fortress now belongs to the imperial court. If nothing else, you must at least tell the imperial court the location of the water fortress, the specific situation of defense, and the water fortress. How many people are there in the village and how much food is needed, these must be told to the court." Luo Xingchen said slowly.

Xiong Liangxiao immediately frowned, he was already reluctant to come here, so how could he tell this.

"We came here because the owner of the village sent a letter saying to go ashore to get food. As for the situation in the village, we have to ask the elders in the village for instructions. I don't have the right." the elders in.

However, Xiong Liangxiao's reluctance was already evident.

"Since you don't have the right, just rest here for one night and send someone back to ask if it's okay."

With a wave of his palm, Luo Xingchen stood up, not wanting to say anything more to Xiong Liangxiao.

……

After arranging the accommodation, Song Chen was a little unhappy and said: "Boss Xiao, they are deliberately putting on airs, and the village master is really serious, and he still trusts the people of the court..."

"That's right, people in the imperial court are not good people. This admiral, such a young doll, obviously came here by relationship, what can he do? I heard that this admiral is the son of the great general who protects the country. He came here to It's just going through the motions, and there are only two hundred people under his command, and there are at most three small ships. This is also called the imperial navy? It's really ridiculous." Jiang An also responded.

"I see that the nearby Zhanlongzhai is much stronger than this so-called naval army. In this world, it's uncertain whether it will be a big one in the future." Song Chen interjected.

"You two, be careful what you say, don't say any more." Xiong Liangxiao glared at the two of them unhappily.

Afterwards, he pondered for a while and said, "Jiang An, I'll write a letter and you can take it back to the water village. We don't make up our minds about this matter, let the elders worry about it."

"Okay, Boss Xiao, I'll go back right away," Jiang An said.

"Tomorrow. It's getting late now. It's not safe to go back because of the rough water."

After Xiong Liangxiao said something, he lowered his voice and said, "You two, you must pay attention, don't talk nonsense, this is not a water village."

Song Chen and Jiang An looked at each other, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss Xiao, we won't talk anymore."

"That's good. Go back to your room and rest early. Anyway, we have to find a way to transport food back this time, otherwise the water village will be in crisis." Xiong Liangxiao sighed.

……

In a quiet room, the censer was lit and the aroma lingered.

Luo Xingchen was sitting at the desk, holding a pen in his hand, practicing calligraphy one by one.

Although he has already become an admiral of the navy, he has not delayed his studies now. After all, he is still young, only 11 years old, and he is a genius, and he still has not stopped studying.

Live and learn, this is what his mother taught him.

My mother told a story called Shang Zhongyong's story. It was about a genius who was encouraged by his seedlings, put aside his studies, and finally disappeared from everyone.

Therefore, he dared not allow himself to slack off.

Practicing martial arts and writing every day, self-discipline and not being lazy, there is also an old master who follows the town guard mansion, Fengsheng is the one who teaches martial arts,

After writing a copybook, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Luo Xingchen raised his eyes and said.

It was Feng Sheng who opened the door and walked in. He didn't bring a sword this time, and his expression was a bit stern.

"What's the situation?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"I have heard clearly that these people from the water village, Xiong Liangxiao and the others, do not want to take refuge in the imperial court. The root cause is that apart from not trusting the imperial court enough, they also underestimate our strength." Feng Sheng said slowly.

"According to them, Zhanlongzhai is stronger than us." Fengsheng sneered.

"What is Zhanlongzhai? Our captain is because the big ship is being built in a secret port. No one knows except us. The craftsmen recruited can only enter. Soon Zhongqin Bo Lutao will come Guide shipbuilding, and our ships will be stronger then."

Luo Xingchen continued: "Even if we don't use new warships, our current ships are equipped with enough firearms, and the cast cannons are enough to knock down ordinary ships."

"Admiral, it seems that in order to make them abandon their illusions and convince them, the first thing to do is to destroy the Zhanlong Village." Feng Sheng said.

"Have you investigated the situation in Zhanlongzhai?"

"Basically, this time I'm here to deliver the relevant materials of Zhanlongzhai. Admiral, you can decide what to do this time."

"I'll look at the information first."

Luo Xingchen got the materials compiled by Fengsheng. In fact, there are not many materials about Zhanlong Village. There are only a few pages, which are roughly the origin of this village.

Sure enough, this Zhanlongzhai was the result of the chaos in the capital a few years ago. Some bandits fled into Wuchao Lake, and then lurked on a nearby island, which became Zhanlongzhai.

At present, there are more than a dozen boats in Zhanlong Village, and the head of the village is called Lu Zhanlong. He built this village by himself.

Lu Zhanlong is a real desperado. He led a lot of bandits and attacked passing merchant ships in the waters, and accumulated a lot of wealth. Some merchant ships had to pay protection fees to them in order to survive safely. Only in this way can they be safe.

"Although there are more than a dozen boats and more than 300 bandits in Zhanlongzhai, they have not undergone systematic training, let alone equipped with firecrackers and cannons. They cannot be our opponents... This time, we Wuchao Lake Sailors, let's find them to practice their hands, as the saying goes, "Training troops for a thousand days, use them for a while, just pull them out to practice." Luo Xingchen stood up, he had already made up his mind to wipe out Zhanlongzhai, so as to deter Wuchao Lake and Caizi Lake. Those large and small water villages.

The strength of the Wang family water village is not weak, if they cannot prove that they have overwhelming force, then it will be difficult to convince them.

"Okay, I'll go and let them start combat preparations, and they can enter the combat state at any time." Fengsheng also stood up.

"Okay, we will go out tomorrow, can we make preparations tonight?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Since it is necessary to solve Zhanlongzhai as quickly as possible, then it is not too late.

"After I'm ready, I'm going to go out in person tomorrow. It's the first battle for the navy. I want to see the effect with my own eyes." Luo Xingchen became excited.

Ever since he was besieged by Yajili's fleet with his fleet at sea, he had been holding back his anger for a long time, and this time he took the opportunity to vent his anger on Zhanlongzhai.
