Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 941 Confrontation
It was precisely because of these considerations that Shangguan Qiuyu gritted his teeth and exchanged fifty Kowloon battleships at once.

He was going to use this to crush the strength of the navy under King Zhennan, so that the opponent could obediently hand over the troop carrier to him.

After all, the shipbuilding industry in Southern Xinjiang lagged far behind that in the Southland, and it would take a long time to build qualified troop carriers and warships.

He didn't have that much time, so he let his men slowly recruit people and slowly accumulate shipbuilding experience.

At the same time, Shangguan Qiuyu's move was more to deter the Zhennan Palace and the Wuxing family.

If the Shangguan family didn't have a fleet that could be used, wouldn't the borders of the southern border be at the mercy of the southern navy.

Once the Shangguan family has a strong naval force, they will take convenience into consideration and dare not easily turn against their own family.

Moreover, Nanjiang has a strong water surface force. Once the two sides turn against each other, the Nanjiang Navy can also directly go up the river to kill the Southland.

The southern land has been comfortable for so many years, and the waterways in the southern land are criss-crossed. As long as the water power of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the five surname families can't stop the Shangguan family's navy.

Then the soldiers of the southern border can land anywhere in the southern land at will, and the peace and prosperity of the southern land for many years will be wiped out in an instant.

In this way, with such concerns, the Zhenwang Mansion and the Wuxing family will not turn their faces and play tricks after their own army leaves.

Although the South Land occupies a geographical advantage, it is located in the upper reaches of the water potential in Southern Xinjiang.

However, once the Shangguan family possesses such a powerful water force as the Nine Dragons battleship, the geographical advantage held by the South Land will instantly disappear into nothingness.

After all, the Kowloon battleship is not something that can be knocked over or burned by just a few warships going down the river.

In the inner courtyard of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuanyi asked Xiao An with a gloomy face at this moment:
"Have you not found it yet?"

Seeing his prince's gloomy face, Xiao An couldn't help but tighten his heart, and quickly replied:

"Returning to the prince, the villain has already sent people to check, and news has been sent back from everywhere, saying that during this period of time, no warships of the five surname families have been seen passing by.

Moreover, the villain got the news that the Xiang family and the rest of the family were also collecting news about the appearance of the Nine Dragons warship in Bashui. Obviously, there was no sign of the Xiang family participating in it. "

Hearing what Xiao An said, Xuanyuan Yi frowned even more.

He pondered:
"So, those warships have nothing to do with Xiang's shipyard?"

Xiao An nodded affirmatively and said:

"It should be, after all, there are fifty Kowloon battleships, which are definitely not something that the Xiang family can build in a short time.

We must know that the imperial court gathered the entire southern craftsmen, and it took nearly ten years to build dozens of Kowloon warships.

Although the Xiang family and several other big families took over many artisans left over from that year.

However, the Xiang family has always been committed to building merchant ships, except for the needs of the Zhennan Palace and the Wuxing family's own guards to build some warships.

With the current strength of the Xiang family and several other companies, it is by no means a matter of overnight to build so many new warships at once.

Moreover, we still don't know anything in the middle, which is almost impossible. "

After hearing Xiao An finish speaking, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuanyi fell silent, indeed, just as Xiao An said.

To build a water giant like the Kowloon battleship, relying on the abilities of the Wuxing family, it cannot be completed overnight.

Moreover, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is not a decoration, and the power of the five surname families is definitely spreading to the prince's mansion, but in the same way, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion also has hidden eyeliner in the five surname families.

To build a giant on the water like the Kowloon battleship, the manpower and material resources required are absolutely astronomical.

It is impossible for such a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter to have no news spread.

But in this way, where did the dozens of huge warships that suddenly appeared in Bashui come from.

Could it be that it fell from the sky?
In this regard, King Zhennan shook his head in doubt, obviously not believing it.

However, it is impossible for such a huge fleet to appear out of thin air. No matter where it came from, there must be a source.

Now all the news coming from below is nothing, I don’t know if I haven’t seen it, and so on.

It should be known that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion directly governs the various navies in the Southland, and all the main water transportation routes in the Southland are controlled and monitored by the Naval Division under the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

With the appearance of such a huge fleet, it is absolutely impossible not to attract people's attention, but the news that has come out now makes him feel chilled.

If the warship that suddenly appeared at Shangguan's family didn't fall from the sky, then it means that his generals are lying.

Today, the land garrisons throughout the southern region are mainly based on the orders of Lord Zhen Guoxiong Shangguanxiong.

If even the sailors under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion are also affected by it, obeying the orders of Lord Zhen Guo Shangguan Xiong and disobeying himself, then wouldn't he be completely emptied by him.

Thinking of this, Zhennan Wang Xuanyuanyi couldn't help being terrified, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

On the side, Xiao An, who is his lord's confidant, naturally knows what his lord is worried about.

Naturally, he had also heard of the power of the word Zhen Guogong in Dayu's military, so he just listened to it and didn't pay much attention to it before.

After all, the South Land, like the Southern Border, is far away from Yucheng and the Central Plains.

However, because of the numerous waterways and convenient transportation in the Southland, the imperial court still has a certain degree of control over the Southland.

All along, the Southland has been in a state of comfort for a long time. Whether it is the northern captives, the barbarians in the south, or the rebellion that arises from time to time in the Central Plains, these basically do not affect the Southland.

Therefore, the local forces in the Southlands are extremely powerful, and most of the generals stationed in various places are from local families.

But even so, these people obeyed the orders of Lord Zhen Guo's generals wherever they came.

You must know that Zhennan Wangfu is the direct boss of these people, and these people usually don't show Zhennan Wangfu's face very much.

However, it is these people who treat Zhen Guogong and Zhennan King very differently.

And this also allowed Xiao An to fully see the hidden background of the Shangguan family within the Dayu Dynasty.

There is obviously a reason why the royal family did not act rashly even though they saw the Shangguan family getting stronger.

Just as Xiao An bowed and stood quietly, not daring to disturb his prince, a steward appeared at the door.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the manager's anxious appearance, Xiao An asked with a frown.

"Boss, General Xi sent someone to send news that many warships have arrived outside the city, with the flag of Zhen Guo Gong on them.

At this moment, General Xi is leading the navy to confront a major general..."

When the steward was talking, he kept panting heavily, obviously knowing that the matter was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay on the way.

After hearing the steward finished speaking, Xiao An couldn't help but stare, and didn't confirm it with the steward.

He knew that the steward must not dare to joke about this kind of thing, so he waved his hand to signal him to go on.

Xuanyuan Yi, who was originally lost in thought, also came back to his senses at this time.

Because he was thinking about something just now, Xuanyuan Yi didn't hear what the steward said earlier, and seeing Xiao An who was signaling his servants to leave at this moment looked sad, so he couldn't help asking:

"Xiao An, what happened?"

"Go back to the lord, which major general is here, and is now confronting General Xi on the river." Xiao An said bitterly.

After hearing Xiao An finish speaking, Xuanyuan Yi murmured to himself:
"Has it come yet?"
