Chapter 400: Building the Yingtian City Wall vs. Building a Large Ironclad Ship

Speaking of that fierce warehouse battle, with the fall of the leader of the hostile force, the situation changed drastically in an instant.

The men in black were relying on the prestige of their leader and their ruthlessness to hold on.

Without a backbone at this moment, morale was immediately greatly reduced.

Just like a fly without a head, it is confused and at a loss.

Looking at the official power of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei and the people in the underworld are all holding back their energy.

How could I let go of such a good opportunity?
They immediately launched a more fierce attack like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Amid the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The remaining men in black were killed until they were completely slain one by one.

After this fierce battle, peace finally returned to the warehouse.

But this peaceful scene actually reveals a sense of tragedy.

The bodies of men in black were lying all over the ground. The scene was really full of corpses, and the blood had dyed a large area of ​​the ground red.

On the other hand, many people among the Jinyiwei and the gangsters were also injured.

Some covered their wounds and endured the severe pain.

Some leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

It was obvious that he had just experienced a life-and-death fight and had consumed too much physical energy.

Xu Lin stood there, looking at the messy scene in front of him.

Although he was breathing slightly, his expression was still as cold as ice in winter.

Xu Lin's eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through the blood and see more conspiracies and tricks hidden behind it.

Then he said coldly: "Clean up the scene and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."

Xu Lin's voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"We must not allow these thieves who want to destroy the stability of our Ming Dynasty to have another chance to stir up trouble!"

"Yes, my lord!"

All the Jinyiwei responded in unison. The voice was loud and uniform, revealing the competence and determination of the Ming Dynasty soldiers.

Just then, A Yu, still frightened, walked forward.

While wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, he said to Xu Lin: "This time, it is all thanks to the brothers of Jinyiwei. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to win this battle with just a few of us Jianghu people.

Those men in black are well-trained and tough guys. If it weren't for the tacit cooperation among the brothers, I don't know how many people would have died here today."

After hearing this, Xu Lin nodded slightly, his expression still serious.

However, the tone of his voice softened a bit.

"Thank you for your help, today's battle is a heavy blow to these hostile forces.

Let them know that they will not be tolerated to act recklessly in the capital of Ming Dynasty!
The stability of Yingtian Prefecture is related to the foundation of the entire Ming Dynasty, and we must not allow these scoundrels to disrupt it."

After that, everyone began to deal with the follow-up matters, searching every corner carefully to ensure that the stability and tranquility of Yingtianfu City could be restored.

At this time, Zhu Gang was standing on a high place in the palace.

Looking at the prosperous yet turbulent Yingtian City in the distance.

He thought to himself: "The road to implementing this jewelry policy is really bumpy!
I originally thought that this policy could be implemented smoothly, bring some benefits to the people, and add some vitality to the Ming Dynasty's economy.

But I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns along the way.

However, I must implement it smoothly and must not allow the stability and development of the Ming Dynasty to be affected.

This Ming dynasty was built by my father with great effort, and I cannot allow anything to go wrong here."

While the jewel issue was making headlines, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the palace, proposed a major plan that would affect the fate of the Ming Dynasty - to build the city wall of Yingtian Prefecture and a large iron-clad ship. Once this plan was proposed, it immediately sparked a heated discussion in the court.

It's like a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

In the court, the military generals were all rubbing their hands, eager to give it a try!

It seemed that if this matter was settled, they would be able to immediately go into battle and show their skills.

Among them was a commander named Zhao Xian, the son of the late founding hero Zhao Desheng.

Zhao Xian was born with a strong build and a heroic look on his face.

As soon as he stood in the middle of the court, he exuded the majesty of a general.

He walked to the center of the court with big strides, bowed respectfully, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think the construction of iron-clad ships should be given priority.

Your Majesty, just think about it, the profits from overseas trade are enormous.

If our Ming Dynasty can vigorously develop maritime trade, it will bring huge wealth to the country.

With so much money, what can't be done?

Moreover, it can also demonstrate the national power of the Ming Dynasty and let those overseas countries know how powerful our Ming Dynasty is.

Most importantly, having a strong navy can deter neighboring countries and ensure the security of the Ming Dynasty's southeastern coast.

This is a matter of achieving multiple goals at once, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

As soon as Zhao Xian finished speaking, several generals beside him nodded in agreement.

A burly general said loudly: "Commander Zhao is absolutely right!

Your Majesty, now overseas countries are also in awe of our Ming Dynasty.

If we can vigorously develop maritime trade, the Ming Dynasty will become famous far and wide!

When the time comes, when our Ming Dynasty fleet sets out to the sea, won’t those barbaric and small countries be obedient?
These are all real benefits, Your Majesty must not miss this good opportunity."

Another general who had a good relationship with Zhao Xian also echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty!

Building iron-clad ships will give our Ming navy even greater strength.

Those barbarians who covet the coastal areas of our Ming Dynasty must now consider their own weight!
We can't just guard this small piece of land, we have to expand outwards, this is the style of a great country."

For a time, the military generals' voices in the court were quite loud.

Everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they couldn't wait to start building the iron-clad ship.

But the row of civil servants presented a completely different picture.

A civil servant named Qian Zai stood up slowly.

This Qian Zai was the fourteenth generation grandson of King Wu Su of Wu Yue.

He was dressed in a blue shirt, with an elegant temperament, and his every move revealed the scholarly air of a scholar.

Qian Zaixian adjusted his sleeves slowly and gracefully, as if the debate in the court had nothing to do with him.

After tidying up his sleeves, Qian Zai said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think that the priority is to build the city wall of Yingtian Prefecture.

The city wall is an important defensive fortification of the Ming Dynasty, which can protect the lives and property of the people.

Under the current situation, there are still some unstable factors in the country, and it is essential to strengthen city defense construction.

In addition, as His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin said before, building the city wall can provide a large number of employment opportunities and alleviate the livelihood problems of the people.

Your Majesty, please consider this carefully."

When Qian Zai finished speaking, the civil servants around him all nodded in agreement.
