Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2435: The Rise of the Four Emperors, the Fishermen Benefit

Yu Ji's road to wealth imitated the famous queen in British history and even the famous politician in the entire human history, Queen Elizabeth.

This pirate queen, with the help of her pirate business, not only allowed England at that time to accumulate a large amount of capital, but also established a huge naval fleet in the process, and even broke the maritime hegemony of the Spanish Invincible Armada at that time.

Yu Ji, on the other hand, simply had her troops dress up as pirates, and grew stronger step by step by robbing the merchant caravans. In fact, due to the initial development and construction, she even disguised herself as a man and participated in this pirate business as the master of the Great Chu Pirates.

However, there were not many caravans traveling back and forth during this period, and they were all short-distance voyages between small countries in Southeast Asia, so the actual benefits were limited.

However, it was still the first step for the Great Chu Pirate Group. As their Great Chu pirate ship grew stronger and gained a certain reputation, Yu Ji began to gather small pirates around her, and made friends with some big pirates. Together with the three largest pirates in Southeast Asia, she formed a pirate alliance.

In order to guard against Japanese pirates, they set foot on land and plundered the surrounding small countries by using the previous sea plundering fleet.

Even the three countries of Funan, Tangming and Linyi were included in their targets of looting.

With the continuous looting, these four pirate groups became more and more powerful in the process, and these four pirate groups also continued to expand themselves in the process. The bosses of several pirate groups even regarded themselves as emperors and compared themselves to the emperors of the sea.

The remaining three pirate groups, each of which regarded themselves as emperors and wanted to be the emperor of the sea, Yu Ji could not stand out. For her, these three pirate groups were still valuable.

Since then, the reputation of the Four Emperors has become famous in Southeast Asia, and even the Southeast Asian countries are troubled by them.

Funan, a powerful naval kingdom, once sent troops to clear out the pirates, but the pirate group represented by the four emperors avoided fighting and hid in the complex terrain of the Malay Archipelago.

Unable to find the main force of the pirate group for a long time, the warships of Funan had to return empty-handed.

Since then, the pirate power in Southeast Asia has been out of control.

On the one hand, Yu Ji used the power of pirates to develop her own power and used the things plundered by pirates to strengthen the national strength of Chu. On the other hand, she used the power of pirates to attack the surrounding countries.

As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Da Chu quickly changed its initially weak situation.

Moreover, when the neighboring country's army was resisting pirate raids, General Xiang Liu and General Ji Bu of the Great Chu decisively took advantage of the country's weakness, destroyed its capital in one battle, and annihilated another country.

Although this country is only a small country with a population of 30,000 to 40,000, and its population is not as large as the armies of Funan, Tangming, and Linyi, no matter how small this mosquito is, it is still meat. No matter how small the meat is, it is a delicious piece of fat meat for the weak Great Chu, which has just started.

As a result, within just three years, Da Chu successively annexed four surrounding countries and plundered a large number of people during its pirate trips, becoming the country second only to Funan, Tangming and Linyi in Southeast Asia.

However, the situation in Da Chu was not as good as it seemed. During this period, the overall social situation in Southeast Asia was indeed very backward. Although the resources in this area could be said to be quite rich, the efficiency of development was very backward.

Even in today's Chu, with such good ministers as Yu Shiji, Yu Shinan, and Yu Qing, the backwardness of the entire social level cannot be reversed in a short period of time by relying on a few people.

However, even though the situation at home was difficult, it still did not stop the warship of Da Chu from stopping.

Those who were able to leave the Central Plains and come to the exotic Southeast Asia, struggle to survive, and even re-establish the Great Chu, are at least people of firm character.

And at this time, it is also the time for the Four Emperors Pirate Group to come to an end.

Under Yu Ji's design, the Four Emperors Pirate Group launched a great battle against the water forces of many Southeast Asian countries. After this battle, except for the Da Chu pirate ship which deliberately retained its strength, the rest of the Four Emperors Pirate Groups were seriously injured, and two leaders of the Four Emperors Pirate Groups died directly.

After experiencing such a great battle, it should have been the time to lick their wounds, but at this time Yu Ji suddenly attacked, beheaded the last leader of the Four Emperors Pirate Group on the spot, and swallowed up the remaining three pirate groups in a swift and fierce manner.

Since then, the only pirate group left in Southeast Asia is the Da Chu Pirate Group. Even if there are still some remnants, they are only a few big cats and small cats.

It was not until this time that Da Chu, which had finally gained a certain amount of strength, finally stopped pretending and no longer concealed the relationship between Da Chu and this pirate group.

At the same time, while continuing to carry forward the pirate tradition, Yu Ji did not incorporate the pirate force into the military force of Da Chu, but let it develop independently. However, he absorbed some pirate talents from the pirate group and enriched them with the growing Da Chu navy.

The people brought by Yu Ji were not just any people. They were all strong and capable people, or they were all skilled technicians. Among them, there were many shipbuilding talents. There were many masters who could build ships from the south.

Also, don't underestimate the talents among these pirates. After all, heroes all rise from the grassroots.

The Queen of England, for example, discovered a large number of talents from pirates. Hawkins was one of the most prominent pirates employed by Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth discovered Hawkins's rich maritime experience during his pirate career, so after repeated discussions with ministers, she invited him to join the British Royal Navy. Hawkins fully demonstrated his talents in the Royal Navy. He used his many years of ocean-going combat experience to build new ships that were more suitable for naval warfare and formed a new fleet.

In addition, there is Francis Drake. During the war between Britain and the Invincible Armada, Drake repeatedly offered ingenious strategies, which made the victory tilt towards Britain and finally defeated the "Invincible Armada" with fire attack.

Although these Southeast Asian pirates cannot be compared with these big pirates, they can still pick out a few talents that can be used by the current Great Chu.

Since then, the Chu Dynasty has begun an era of development with two hands. On the one hand, it has developed to boost national strength and expand the military power of the clans. On the other hand, it has continued to launch its original pirate strategy.

However, as the strength of Da Chu was no longer as weak as it was at the beginning, Yu Ji also shifted his attention to South Asia.
