Chapter 806: Not good at water warfare? Bring the ship up!

348 AD, the world situation gradually stabilized.

In the North, there was the Great Ming; in the South, there was the Eastern Jin.

Under Wang Meng's suggestion, they recuperated, and the North gradually glowed with new spring.

Over these two years, the Great Ming hadn't done nothing; they drove out the Tuoba clan, fought consecutive battles, and drove them to even more desolate areas, with their territory even reaching the shores of Lake Baikal.

And for the sake of the great war, the choice Zhang Cheng made was not to levy taxes on the common people, but to send auxiliary troops to cross south to Kyushu Island to carry out a series of looting activities!

At first, Wang Meng didn't understand why they had to attack such a tiny country, but after seeing the grain transported back in full ships and the mountains of silver, Wang Meng fell silent.

Because he felt that such a small country actually didn't pay tribute to the suzerain Great Ming; it was simply an act of birth!

You must know, although the auxiliary troops of the peninsula were cowardly, when facing people other than their masters, they were fierce and incomparable!

Regarding their behavior on the island, Zhang Cheng knew more or less, but he wouldn't manage it. After all, what he wanted was grain and silver, as well as maids to reward the soldiers; as for other things, he wouldn't ask about anything!

Even if the auxiliary troops turned the entire peninsula into a river of blood, as long as it could satisfy his plan, Zhang Cheng would give them awards!

"Your Majesty, Great General Li Nong has replied, Western Liang has been destroyed, and the thirty-six countries have returned to our Great Ming!"

Coming before Zhang Cheng, the current Wang Meng was in high spirits.

After all, being able to hold the position of "Prime Minister" at the age of less than thirty, he could be considered the number one person in the world!

Hearing Wang Meng's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but drop a chess piece and say, "Has news come from the South?"

"The grain for this quarter is on the way back, but two ships sank because of the sailors..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and say, "Execute everyone remaining on the ships!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gazing at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng also gradually got used to his way of thinking, which was that auxiliary troops were not people, and foreign people were even less so.

Although it was only a loss of two ships, the things on those ships were all the Great Ming's!

You can die, but the Great Ming's things cannot be lost!

"Do you think if I go south, I have a chance of winning?"

Looking at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng inquired.

"The Southern Sima clan is..."

Gazing at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng fell silent for a long time before answering.

"Is this enough!"

Patting his sword on the table, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at Wang Meng.

"This, perhaps it's a bit troublesome, and to deal with the noble families, we might be walking on thin ice!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Then add this!"

Taking out the letter given by the Xie family, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"If it's this, then Meng can restore the turmoil of war within a few years after pacifying Jiangnan!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng thought for a moment and immediately became stern.

"If these two are not enough, then wouldn't I be kneeling and begging for food if I went over?"

Gazing at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan region is intricate and complicated, and the noble families are linked together. If we want to start over, we must pay a certain price!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng's meaning was very clear: they must make full preparations.

"Then what about this?"

Taking out the Imperial Seal symbolizing royal power, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at him and say, "Receiving the mandate from heaven, may you live forever and prosper!"

"Fight, I will go prepare the grain and fodder now. Even if I kill everyone in Jiangnan, we must take the world!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng earnestly, Wang Meng now had no hesitation.

Because what this Imperial Seal represented, no one knew better than these people.

Qin lost its deer, and the heroes chased it.

The current Sima clan doesn't even have the Imperial Seal; what kind of orthodoxy are you pretending to be!

"Then send the troops. I want to let those noble families in Jiangnan know what it means to be an Emperor standing up!" Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh loudly.

But just then, Xie Daoyun, who was sitting opposite Zhang Cheng, said, "Your Majesty, you cannot regret your move, hurry and take out the thing in your hand!"

Looking at Xie Daoyun with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng said awkwardly, "Are we husband and wife..."

"No! And you have no credibility with me anymore!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng earnestly, how could Xie Daoyun let him do this?

Gazing at Xie Daoyun before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cover his face and say, "Meng, how should I play this chess?"

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet still has things to do, your subject will leave first!"

Turning around to leave quickly, Wang Meng ran away without looking back, his speed so fast it was astonishing.

"Your Majesty, it's your turn!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Xie Daoyun placed a piece in a key position.

Watching his dragon being cut in half, Zhang Cheng subconsciously wanted to use a "divine move."

But watching Xie Daoyun staring at him, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "My beloved concubine, you cut my dragon! Is that good?"

"Why, does Your Majesty also want to play a divine move with me? Come! The historian is right there!"

Pointing at the person hiding in the corner, Xie Daoyun smiled like a flower.

"I won't play, I'll go play chess with the Sima clan!"

!

Standing up to leave, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be ashamed and angry.

This was his own Noble Consort; the divine move couldn't be used, but the Sima family was different; from top to bottom, they all had to play chess with him.

If they couldn't win, they would die immediately; if they could win, they would die on the chessboard!

In the Jiangnan region, on the Yangtze River, Huan Wen, as the commanding governor, was looking into the distance, his eyes unable to help but become solemn.

Because as someone who failed in the first battle, he knew the strength of the Northern Ming too well.

But this was on the Yangtze River; he, Huan Wen, would not lose again!

But before Huan Wen could reveal a smile, roars came from the shore in the distance.

"Go south to capture the dragon, pacify the world!"

"Go south to capture the dragon, pacify the world!"

"Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is all the Great Ming!"

"Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is all the Great Ming!"

Roaring with shared hatred, only to see warships constantly rushing toward here.

Gazing at this scene, Huan Wen was dumbfounded, because what kind of battle tactic was this? How come he had never seen it before?

How could there be water warfare where you rush in a swarm like this? Aren't you afraid of being burned by fire?

But before Huan Wen could figure out the other party's method, only to see the Red Liang Army jump over after two ships approached.

Looking at this scene in shock, Huan Wen was completely dumbfounded; was this still water warfare?

"Bring the ship up, bring the ship up for me!"

Roaring hysterically, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but roar.

"Bring it up, slaughter them!"

Emitting a roar, only to see the soldiers also shouting.

And just as a water battle that was like close-quarters combat on land began, the Eastern Jin navy was beaten into a daze, because what kind of tactic was this?

"Boom!"

Under the huge impact, Huan Wen watched his own warship being knocked about, and couldn't help but be astonished.

But just then, an even more chilling thing appeared, only to see Zhang Cheng looking at Huan Wen with a smile and saying, "Aha, caught a big fish. Huan Wen, do you miss me?"

"Zhang thief!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Huan Wen now broke out in cold sweat, because he seemed to be about to die!

"His Majesty's battle tactic, how come I have never seen it?"

Standing on the shore, Zhang Hao watched this scene and couldn't help but be confused.

And gazing at Zhang Hao, Deng Qiang rubbed his head and said, "I remember, this seems to be used by pirates!"

"His Majesty was a pirate?"

Looking at Deng Qiang suspiciously, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be shocked.
