Chapter 1051: New Items

"Hahaha..."

As Wesley laughed loudly, Bolt also began to laugh.

He no longer hated Wesley; it was he who had saved him from the terrifying port.

The two laughed for a while, and Wesley continued heading east, saying, "Although this is good news, it is still necessary to be on guard against the direction of Piaoman. I am a general, only skilled in fighting; as for diplomacy, that is your specialty. Now is the best time to take advantage of the opportunity created by His Majesty and the Parliament."

"That is, of course," Bolt said. "If Malacca is lost, let it be lost. When our supporting fleet arrives, we can retake it all the same. This time, we have brought many Warships."

He shouted at Wesley, emphasizing the word "many."

The news he had received was that the second Westerner fleet sent to support them had already departed two and a half months ago.

In another month and a half, they should be able to arrive.

Wesley nodded. He did not stop his pace, and his figure disappeared before long.

At this moment, the sound of shelling at the port also gradually ceased.

Before long, a soldier came to his side, "Governor, the Great Song fleet has left."

Bolt breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the port once more.

At this time, it was already a ruin here.

Looking toward the direction the Great Song fleet had departed, he gritted his teeth, "Just you wait. When our reinforcements arrive, that will be the day you die."

Compared to Bolt's terrible mood, Gong Ying and Zhou Yi were in high spirits, the two of them standing on the deck blowing in the sea breeze.

Looking toward the infinite ocean, the two met each other's eyes, and a sense of immense pride rose in both their hearts.

Thinking back to the years when they followed Yan Wang, surrounded by powerful enemies, they had followed Yan Wang while carrying their heads in their hands.

Now, they had finally tasted the sweetness after the bitterness; they would never be bullied by others again.

On the contrary, from now on, it would be them bullying the enemy, letting Great Song dominate the entire ocean.

"Do you have enough manpower for your ranch in Nanzhan Continent?" Zhou Yi took two cigars out of his bosom, lit one for himself, and handed one to Gong Ying.

Luzon was within the jurisdiction of their Southern Protectorate, so their navy naturally had the advantage of being close to the water.

Of course, they were not forcing a sale.

These industries had already been confiscated and belonged to the Great Song; these cigars were also purchased by them from Luzon using Song Yuan.

It was just at cost price, that is all.

"Not enough. The Westerners captured in Nanzhan Continent are simply not enough to go around. My ranch is so big, how could it be enough?" Gong Ying replied.

The war had temporarily ended, and the two of them were in the mood for idle chatter.

Their forms of address had also become much more casual.

Zhou Yi nodded with a mischievous smile, "It's the same for me. However, I have an idea; why don't you and I submit a proposal to His Highness together?"

"What idea? I don't want to get scolded," Gong Ying became vigilant.

Because Zhou Yi had followed Yan Wang the earliest and had a close relationship with him, he naturally dared to say anything.

But because he dared to speak and often spouted crooked logic, he had been scolded by Yan Wang many times.

And he had thin skin; he did not want to suffer an unprovoked disaster.

"This time it's a serious idea. Aren't the Beidi good at herding? Chen Hu is about to attack the Grassland soon. Instead of killing the Beidi herdsmen, it would be better to have Chen Hu's Gun Cavalry capture more of them. Then our navy can buy them with Silver to serve as servants. In this way, Chen Hu's Gun Cavalry gains an advantage, we gain the benefits, and it won't be long before Nanzhan Continent is filled with herds of cattle and horses."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ying's eyes lit up, "That is truly a good idea."

Having said that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Yancheng.

While Zhou Yi and Gong Ying were plotting their little schemes, the Steam Locomotive Zhao Xu was riding pulled into Yancheng Station.

As soon as he got off the train, Liu Fu, Chang Wei, Yang Feng, and other ministers who had been waiting at the station for a long time came up to greet him.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for returning in victory." The group arrived before Zhao Xu and bowed in unison.

Smiling, Zhao Xu waved his hand, "This is not this Prince's merit; it is the merit of the soldiers. Whether this Prince went or not, they would have been able to pacify the Southern Region."

"Your Highness is too modest.

If it were not for Your Highness leading the expedition in person, the war in the Southern Region would not have ended so quickly. This is all the effect of Your Highness boosting morale," Liu Fu said, cupping his hands and picking up his old profession of bootlicking.

Seeing that this Prime Minister of Great Song, who was usually serious, had turned into a sycophant in front of Yan Wang, Chang Wei and the others could not help but shake their heads.

Seeing that Liu Fu still had a tendency to continue, Chang Wei pushed Liu Fu aside, leaned toward Zhao Xu, and rolled his eyes at Liu Fu, "Talk about business; stop saying useless things."

Then, he said, "This general has already received the battle report sent back by Qin Shan. Your Highness's strategy of casting a long line to catch a big fish is truly brilliant. Instead of occupying Tianzhu, it is better to let Tianzhu become a bleeding wound for the Westerners. When they have bled enough, it will not be too late for us to occupy it."

Yang Feng nodded slowly.

Originally, when he received the battle report, he was once very confused and thought they should have pursued the victory, but once Chang Wei explained it, he understood.

He could not help but sigh that he was old and could not keep up with the thinking of people like Yan Wang; it was better to honestly handle logistics.

"Hehe, now we just wait for the Westerners to take the bait. Didn't they find a helper named Tusiman? Then let Tusiman bleed in Tianzhu as well," Zhao Xu said indifferently.

He would give the Westerners plenty of time to mobilize their troops.

The more manpower and material resources they consumed, the more he would profit.

And taking advantage of this time, he could stay in Yancheng in peace.

During this period, his Ironclad Warship could be commissioned, and the first Power Plant could also be put into use.

Relying on this capital, he would like to see how they could fight him!
