Chapter 1212: Setting Sail for America

~10 min read 1,963 words

"Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap!"

At this moment.

Deep in the old forest, a troop was making a forced march through the heavy rain.

The further north they went, the colder the weather became.

Logically speaking, in such heavy rain, they should have been resting.

But Zhai Shiqing knew she could not stop.

Because Longyan was in chaos right now.

The Liaodong theater, the Northwest theater, the Jinghua theater.

Several major battlefields had made the future of Longyan somewhat uncertain.

At this critical juncture, the topic of whether a constitutional monarchy was reasonable had once again begun to run rampant in Longyan's social discourse.

Zhai Shiqing's mission was to find the Chukchi.

She had once passed by the Liaodong theater, but she did not go over to participate. She knew that the three hundred special forces soldiers she led would not be of much help there.

"Rest!"

The rain was too heavy and the horses could no longer run, so Zhai Shiqing finally gave the order to rest.

Although the two hundred people were so tired they were about to collapse, once the order was given, there was no complaining. One by one, they lowered their heads, wrapped their raincoats tightly around themselves, and did not forget to maintain their combat formation while resting.

This was the Dark Night Legion!

They had long since been forged by Jiang Xuan into a steel force, a machine of war!

Every time she saw the Dark Night Legion like this, Zhai Shiqing would sigh.

Jiang Xuan was truly formidable!

Or perhaps...

Was the Young Master even more formidable?

The group hid in the woods and began to eat and rest.

Zhai Shiqing thought again of Zou Sheng in the Northwest theater...

"I wonder how Brother Zou is doing..."

Cold.

By this time, she had already led these Dark Night Legion soldiers close to Siberia. There was no need to mention the weather here; although it was August or September, sleet had already begun, and occasionally one could see snow-capped mountains and vast snowy plains in the distance... Zhai Shiqing knew they were almost there.

Her destination was almost reached.

The Chukchi?

She did not know what this magical race was actually like. But she had heard the Young Master say with great solemnity that unless it was necessary, one must never provoke them.

He wanted to win these people over.

Was their combat power very strong? This made Zhai Shiqing feel a bit eager to try.

"General, the sea is ahead!"

"Oh?"

Every time the troop rested, there would be several Scouts responsible for going ahead to survey the terrain and environment.

At this moment, the Scouts had returned.

They had reached the sea. That meant the Kamchatka Peninsula was close.

The Kamchatka Peninsula!

This was her destination this time!

"It is time to change into winter gear!"

Zhai Shiqing immediately gave the order.

Three hundred people changed silently. They had gradually become accustomed to the Arctic temperature over the past few days, so they had not changed into winter gear in the heavy rain; Zhai Shiqing had also intended to train their resistance to the cold. If they were truly approaching combat, it would be different.

"Scout squads, scout in four directions respectively!"

"Remember, you must not have any conflict with anyone! If you see traces of people, come back!"

Zhai Shiqing gave the orders clearly.

"Yes!"

Several Scouts disappeared into the deep forest without a sound.

"Sir! Oh, Sir..."

And over here in Australia.

Daxi Wharf.

Xie Fang was already wailing loudly.

Qingyang Shuo, sitting in a wheelchair, smiled faintly: "Why must Your Highness be like this? I am destined to leave eventually. I hope that after I depart, Your Highness can strive to govern and develop Australia. Now that Australia has

entered the right track, Your Highness must not be overly radical; just proceed step by step, and Australia will surely become a world power!"

Xie Fang cried his heart out again.

Qingyang Shuo was finally leaving after all. He was naturally the one most reluctant to let him go. Just kidding, if Qingyang Shuo were in Australia, he could consult him whenever he had any issues. Qingyang Shuo would also tell him everything he knew without reservation. Once he left, Xie Fang would feel as if he had lost his backbone.

However...

He also knew that despite his several attempts to win him over, Qingyang Shuo remained unmoved; the man belonged to Liu Zheng after all.

It was impossible for him to force Qingyang Shuo to stay; that would mean tearing his face off with Liu Zheng.

"Hey, I say Your Highness, you are a grown man, what is the point of all this blubbering! Hahahaha, wait until we take a trip to America and come back to play with you!"

Qin Zhangfeng laughed heartily.

Pei Yanran was also covering her mouth on the side.

"General Qin, I am so reluctant to part with you all!"

Xie Fang could only wipe away his tears.

To go to America.

This was the task Liu Zheng gave to Qingyang Shuo and Qin Zhangfeng. Qingyang Shuo had developed an interest in Australia, which was why he had lingered here for a while longer. But to leave, one must eventually leave.

"Then, sir... have a safe journey!"

Xie Fang had no Method.

He knew that once Qingyang Shuo decided on something, not even nine oxen could pull him back.

"Set sail!"

"Set sail!"

Accompanying Qingyang Shuo and Qin Zhangfeng this time were also five Yinzhou ships! And an army of twenty thousand!

Su Qi naturally still had to remain in Australia, but he could keep in contact with Qin Zhangfeng at any time; if anything happened to them in America, he would be able to provide support at any moment.

The Yinzhou fleet set sail in a grand, imposing manner.

America...

Qin Zhangfeng and Pei Yanran naturally followed Qingyang Shuo; the two of them still had an immense yearning for that magical place the young master spoke of.

The first thing constructed in Australia was the port and wharf, so Australia's shipping routes could completely radiate to the whole world.

This place was about to become Liu Zheng's maritime transit hub.

So Qingyang Shuo was right.

As long as Xie Fang continued to persist with the current national policy. As long as he didn't mess around blindly, Australia would sooner or later develop. It would become the world's maritime center. Because all the traffic brought to Australia would be vast amounts of money.

"I don't care what you all think; the matter has already happened. If you don't want to die, then obey my orders!"

Yu Qian shouted in a cold voice.

Although the troops all had sorrowful expressions, they had no Method; things had reached this point, and they could only bite the bullet and follow Yu Qian.

"General Zhao Hui, you lead a thousand-man Cavalry unit, rush to Yongding Bridge, then hang tree branches on the horses' tails and keep wandering and running in the woods to create dust!"

"General Liu, you also lead a thousand-man Cavalry unit, exit the city and circle behind the Youzhou Army, and make a big commotion."

"General Zhao Yan, the rest of the soldiers, follow me up to the city tower!"

Yu Qian snatched the Tiger Tally back from Xie Chao's hand and quickly issued orders.

"Yes!"

After the soldiers responded, they each began to take action.

Now, Yu Qian could only gamble.

The Youzhou Army outside did not know that Xie Chao was dead; next, he had to create the illusion that he had placed Xie Chao under house arrest, so that the Youzhou Army below the city would be afraid to act rashly for fear of harming the hostage.

Furthermore, by creating the illusion of reinforcements arriving behind Yongding Bridge, the Youzhou Army would not be able to make an accurate judgment in their haste.

They had not yet started a rebellion, and with a retreat path available and their leader captured, they would not take that final step...

Time passed second by second; there was no movement in the city for half a day, and the Youzhou Army outside the city also grew suspicious.

"Military Advisor, His Highness has been inside for such a long time without any news. Could there be some change in the city?"

A subordinate Lieutenant asked anxiously.

"With my army of two hundred thousand here, I trust that even Yu Qian would not dare to act recklessly."

Meng Zan frowned. Although he said this, he felt very uncertain in his heart, so he led a large group of soldiers to the foot of Jinghua City.

"Jinghua garrison, where is my master, His Highness?"

Meng Zan said loudly.

Just at this moment, Yu Qian appeared on the city wall.

"His Highness the Prince of Zhao has been traveling all the way and is currently dining inside Jinghua City. He asked me to tell the Military Advisor to have the army camp in place and not to act rashly."

Yu Qian said with a smile on the city wall.

Hearing this, Meng Zan's heart turned cold, and his expression changed drastically.

Listening to Yu Qian like this, Xie Chao was most likely controlled.

What exactly did he want to do? Did he not know there were two hundred thousand troops below the city? If he did anything unfavorable to the Prince of Zhao, he would surely die!

"Official Yu, I think you had better let my soldiers see His Highness. If we cannot see him, the soldiers might mutiny and attack the city; that is not something I can control!"

Meng Zan waved his hand, and the troops immediately followed; the clanging sounds were incessant.

Meng Zan waved his large hand, and the troops immediately followed, the clanging of armor and weapons ringing out incessantly.

"The Prince of Zhao said he is currently dining and does not want anyone to disturb him. If your subordinates attack the city now, that is rebellion. Do you want to get His Highness the Prince of Zhao killed?"

"The Prince of Zhao said he is dining at this moment and does not wish to be disturbed by anyone; if your subordinates attack the city now, that would be rebellion—do you wish to get His Highness the Prince of Zhao killed?"

Looking at the calm and composed Yu Qian on the city wall, the various generals of Youzhou below the city were all anxious; none of them had expected things to develop like this.

"Military Advisor, they are clearly stalling for time here; hurry up and make a decision!"

"That's right, Military Advisor, whether to fight or retreat, give the order quickly! If we drag this out, and Jinghua's reinforcements arrive, it will be troublesome!"

The generals urged him, and at this moment, Meng Zan was also burning with anxiety.

It seemed he had been careless this time.

Yu Qian had controlled the Prince of Zhao; no matter the result, Yu Qian's final outcome would be death. He really hadn't expected that a top scholar who had been buried by the imperial court for over ten years would actually choose death over the two options of great wealth and death!

"His Highness is likely controlled by them. To save His Highness, we can only launch a strong attack!" Meng Zan said.

After Meng Zan finished speaking, the generals all prepared themselves, but Meng Zan could not make up his mind at this moment.

After Meng Zan finished speaking, the group of generals all began to prepare, but at this moment, Meng Zan could not make up his mind.

Because, Yu Qian, was truly too calm. Recently there have been severe pop-ups, you may click to download to avoid pop-ups.
