Chapter 1014: Slaughtering the City

Liu Zheng saw the letter that Qin Zhangfeng handed to him.

He was truly stunned.

Good grief.

I'm here preparing a funeral for you, and it turns out you, Xie Fang, are alive again?

That's right.

What Qin Zhangfeng received was a message sent by carrier pigeon from Su Qi. It was written in the Liangzhou Army's code and delivered to the Capital by the long-distance carrier pigeon Wusong, which had traveled thousands of miles.

Xie Fang had been found.

And Australia had been found as well.

The contents of the letter were very rich.

Britain had already begun colonizing Australia, and they had quite a large garrison there.

In the letter, Su Qi informed Liu Zheng of his idea to cooperate with Xie Fang to take Australia.

Regarding this.

Liu Zheng was, of course, supportive.

Because he knew that for Australia, this was already a very important historical juncture.

After Britain successfully landed in Tahiti, they would immigrate a large number of prisoners from their country to Australia to develop it. At this time, Australia already had eighty thousand British garrison troops; if those people came later, it would indeed be difficult to handle.

Moreover, Liu Zheng actually held no ill will toward Xie Fang now.

Especially since Xie Fang had clearly stated that he would not return to Longyan.

Liu Zheng read the letter together with Qin Zhangfeng.

This was top-secret among top secrets; Gu Jin certainly did not have the qualifications to be involved.

If people found out that Xie Fang was not dead, wouldn't the entire Longyan be turned upside down?

After reading it, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

It was truly precarious!

If this Xie Fang wanted to return to Longyan, it would put Liu Zheng in a difficult position.

However.

Liu Zheng still had confidence in Su Qi's loyalty.

If Xie Fang were discovered in a place like Java Island and he expressed a clear desire to return to Longyan, Su Qi might just kill him on the spot... regardless of whether he had the capability to do so.

Qin Zhangfeng also frowned and said, "Young Master, do you think the Crown Prince... could it be... that he is just putting on a show to make us lower our guard, and then?"

Liu Zheng smiled: "And then return to Longyan?"

Qin Zhangfeng nodded.

After all, not everyone could just give up the position of Longyan Crown Prince once they had it.

Liu Zheng, however, chuckled and shook his head: "I am not worried about this. First, Xie Fang's change is thorough; otherwise, a place like Java Island could not be governed so well. Second, there is definitely not enough time. The Emperor does not have much time left. No matter who inherits the throne, if Xie Fang appears again, it will only affect me, the liar, and will not be able to change the overall situation. He might even become a thorn in the side of the next emperor; he has no need to do such a thing that harms others without benefiting himself."

Qin Zhangfeng was still a bit worried; he felt that the Crown Prince, Xie Fang, had always seemed a bit dim-witted.

Liu Zheng laughed heartily, immediately seeing what was on Qin Zhangfeng's mind: "Is Brother Qin wanting to go fight in Australia?"

Qin Zhangfeng was invigorated: "It is my wish, I would not dare to ask!"

A sharp glint flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes: "Good! Since it concerns Xie Fang, I am at ease leaving this matter to Brother Qin. If he is truly as you say..."

A look of ruthlessness also flashed across Qin Zhangfeng's face, and he made a fierce beheading gesture.

"Since that is the case, Brother Qin should set off today... although you won't make it for the first battle, the support of Yinzhou ship cannons and equipped weaponry must be in place."

"Yes!"

Qin Zhangfeng was incredibly excited.

He could finally go to war!

Liu Zheng nodded.

He felt that the battle for Australia would definitely not be won in a month or two. He absolutely could not underestimate the power of Britain, which was undergoing the Industrial Revolution. In his past life, none of the empires that dominated the globe were weak.

Likewise.

The place of Australia was also too important for Liu Zheng's global deployment.

There was no other reason.

To the east of Australia was America!

Liu Zheng had never lacked greed for the resource-rich and abundant America.

Therefore, he had to be prepared for a long-term war.

He immediately gave the order for Qin Zhangfeng to lead twenty Yinzhou ships, but to take only ten thousand Yinzhou troops, with the remaining space fully loaded with the cannons, weapons, and some Refined Steel Weaponry needed by the Yinzhou ships.

Since Xie Fang was not returning to Longyan anyway.

Then he himself could not be stingy.

A grand gift always had to be sent.

If he wanted to make a name for himself on Java Island, then he would give him the opportunity.

After all, he also did not want Xie Fang to return to Longyan.

Qin Zhangfeng left the Capital that very day, taking Pei Yanran with him.

And Zheng Yue Ru, who was in Liangzhou, nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood upon seeing this gift list.

Young Master Liu!

Young Master Liu!

How did I end up on this pirate ship of yours! You are generous to everyone, yet you make things difficult for me, Zheng Yue Ru, every single day!

Without a doubt.

These twenty Yinzhou ships, along with the things they carried, were yet another enormous expense for Liangzhou...

Endure!

I will endure!

Zheng Yue Ru felt like crying but had no tears; she could only pinch pennies here and save a little there.

Who else could she be but Liu Zheng's Financial Minister...

And at this time.

The commotion on the side of the Li Dynasty was, in fact, not yet over.

The 500,000-strong Nanyang Army had already crossed the strait and landed on the territory of Wa for the first time.

The entire Wa nation was filled with wails of misery.

The intensity of the fear in their hearts now was as great as the fervor of the militarism that had previously gripped Wa.

Because this time, Mizuno Masashige had almost completely wiped out the entire Wa military.

Let's put it this way.

There were now very few adult males left in Wa. What remained were all elderly people and children. How could they fight? Facing this tiger-and-wolf army of Nanyang, how could they fight? They didn't even have a chance to resist!

And so.

The 500,000-strong Nanyang Army was practically a beast of war; after landing in Wa, they took seven cities in three days.

Seven!

This was equivalent to their pace of advance! In other words, they hadn't really engaged in any battles and hadn't been delayed at all before these cities fell into their hands.

Surrender.

When the generals of those cities saw the Nanyang Army, the first thing they did was surrender.

They couldn't win, so what could they use to fight?

As for the Nanyang Army, they showed no mercy to Wa either.

Kill!

The Nanyang Army completely imitated what Wa had done in the Li Dynasty, because the Nanyang Army was also fighting a long-distance campaign, and logistical supplies were bound to be difficult.

Very well.

Then I shall do as your Wa army does: War-Nourished Warfare!

One city.

Slaughter!

Burn, kill, and loot!

Two cities.

Slaughter!

Burn, kill, and loot!

Three cities.

Still slaughter!

The ruthlessness of the Nanyang Army shocked almost the entire world. Pop-ups are frequent recently, please click to download to avoid pop-ups.
