The World of Yellow Sky

The reason why Yan Zhong supported him boarding the Liaozhou was probably because he thought that if he could go to battle in person, he might be able to regain his old feelings and discover the changes that were taking place in him.

The thick sound of Huang Tian's war drum kept ringing, one by one, echoing in Xu An's chest. This time, the sound of Huang Tian's war drum finally resonated in Xu An's heart.

Above the sea area, the warships of the Han army were retreating steadily. Under the command of Gongsun Kang, the warships of the Ming army kept a distance and hit the warships of the Han army from a long distance with ballistas and crossbows.

Gongsun Kang learned the previous lessons and mastered the skills of fighting against the warships of the Han army.

The fireboats in the fleet of the Han army's navy were often destroyed before they approached, and there was no way to make meritorious deeds to cause any damage to the Ming army's navy.

At this time, the navy of the Han army had completely collapsed and was defeated.

A large number of Han warships sailed towards the beach.

Going to the beach, the warships are bound to run aground. At that time, the Ming army only needs to put down a few small boats and bring a little firelight, and they can easily burn these warships.

These Han soldiers seemed to just want to escape, and they didn't care about the safety of the warships at all.

But yes, now that the main force of the Ming navy has arrived, and Sun Ce is dead, they are already weaker than the Ming navy, and their strength has been greatly compromised due to the ambush.

On the beach not far away, many Han army warships have run aground, and many Han army are paddling their boats towards the beach.

On the beach, there are still many deserters from the Han army fleeing.

The fleeing team on the beach was sparse, and the sailors of the Han army were no longer as domineering as they were at the beginning, panicking like bereaved dogs.

Xu An was about to speak, but suddenly heard a rather strange rattling sound coming from his ear.

Xu An followed the reputation, and the rattling sound came from Nan Shengmi, the envoy of Yamatai who boarded the boat with him.

The clucking sound was not a strange sound, but the sound of Nan Shengmi's teeth chattering.

At this time, the Nansheng rice noodles were bloodless, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Xu An secretly laughed, he knew that Nan Shengmi probably had never seen such a bloody fighting scene, let alone such generals as Sun Ce and Tai Shici, and such a tragic sea battle.

The technology of Yamatai civilization is too far behind. Although iron smelting has begun in the Yamatai era, the iron smelting technology is not very advanced.

The reason why the Han court is powerful is because it has mastered extremely superb iron-smelting technology.

Weapons, armor and all sorts of things can be crafted from iron.

In Yamatai, the ironware is still an extremely precious item, and the weapons and armor used by them to fight among them are far inferior to those of the Han and Ming armies.

And because of the number of people, its intensity is far less than that of the Han and Ming armies fighting.

In this naval battle, the Ming army was the Liaozhou soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and the Tengxiangwei who had experienced many battles.

And the Han army is not weak, even stronger than the Liaozhou soldiers at sea.

The sailors of the Han army are all veterans of Yangzhou and Xuzhou. They have lived on the water all year round and have a lot of experience in battle. The fights are naturally extremely tragic.

Although Nan Shengmi was well-informed in Yamatai, he was still terrified when he saw a battlefield of this intensity.

The reason why Xu An brought Nan Shengmi here was to demonstrate a wave of force and convince the Yamatai Kingdom completely.

Now it seems that the results are remarkable.

"Dao... Dao... Dao... Lord Dao..."

Nan Shengmi's face was pale and he spoke incoherently.

It took a long time to say a word of Daojun, and even a lot of Yamatai words came out.

"The war is over, there is no need to panic."

Xu An waved at Nan Shengmi, signaling Nan Shengmi to come forward.

Nan Shengmi trembled again, and he tried his best to walk to Xu An's side. He didn't even know how he moved his legs and walked over.

"In this sea area..."

Xu An pointed to the sea area in front of him, and the remnant Ming army warships were being wiped out on the sea surface.

"Do not."

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Above this vast sea, there is no force, no country's navy is stronger than my Ming's navy!"

"Wherever the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, are my bright lands."

"There may be all nations in the world, but there can only be China once."

"The so-called dog slave country and other small foreign countries, I will send troops to help you eliminate them one by one. As long as you are willing to become my Ming's vassals and serve as my Ming's barrier, I can guarantee that your Yamatai country will always prosper."

Xu An gently waved to Tai Shici who was beside him, Tai Shici understood, took a silk book from his bosom, and presented it with both hands.

At this time, Tai Shici's armor was stained with blood, and he was full of evil spirit.

Nan Shengmi even just glanced at Tai Shici before lowering his head. He looked at Tai Shici with fear in his eyes.

He watched Taishi Cige kill several light soldiers of the Han army with his own eyes, and even killed the unstoppable Sun Ce on the spot, who was like a god.

Nan Shengmi just imagined for a while, if the soldiers of Yamatai Kingdom faced the fate of Tai Shici, they would not dare to think about it.

I'm afraid that was not a war, more like a one-sided massacre.

The indestructible knives on the Ming army, the impenetrable iron armor with spears, and the extremely sharp long knife called "Yan Ling" made Nan Shengmi terrified.

According to the records of the ancestors, the Han army, which was like a heavenly soldier, was nothing but a defeated general under the hands of the Ming army.

"What is written on this silk letter is the agreement we agreed upon before, bring this agreement back to your country, and hand it over to your leader Himiko."

"If she is really a ghost, then she should know what the right choice is."

Xu An took the silk scroll from Tai Shici's hand, and casually handed it to Nan Shengmi.

Xu An handed it casually, but Nan Shengmi didn't dare to take it casually. He knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and took the silk scroll from Xu An's hand in fear.

"Your servant, I will definitely hand over the agreement to our country's lord."

Nan Shengmi lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice.

With a smile on Xu An's face, he noticed that Nan Shengmi's address had changed.

It turned out that the king and queen that Nan Shengmi had always emphasized, but now they have become the lord of the country.

It seems that Nanshengmi was really scared, and he was really convinced.

After taking down Dongyi Island and setting up the Fusang Province, it will be a matter of course.

Zuo Du and Shi Jian, the two gold and silver mountains, were finally able to be accepted as rulers for their own use.

The military parade at the founding of the country also successfully demonstrated force, making the countries in the Western Regions dare not resist.

As a result, Guo Tai successfully established the Protectorate of the Western Regions without even using many soldiers.

Xu An also breathed a sigh of relief.

Apart from the two gold and silver mountains of Zuodu and Shijian, there are quite a few gold and silver mountains and even copper mountains on Dongyi Island.

Ashio Copper Mine and Beszi Copper Mine are the two most famous in later generations. The copper deposits including Ashio Copper Mine and Beszi Copper Mine are distributed in the geological belt from Kanto to Shikoku and Kyushu. It is reported that the length is about Eight hundred kilometers, with a maximum width of about eighty kilometers.

After the mining of the two gold and silver mountains, Zuodu and Shijian, and the copper mountain start, a large amount of gold, silver and copper mines will continuously flow into Mingting's treasury.

I'm afraid that the official ships sailing from Dongyi Island to Anhai Harbor in Jizhou will be gold and silver ships one after another.

The Silk Road is now completely controlled by Ming Dynasty.

The failure of the Dawan Kingdom enabled the Ming army to establish a new order in the Western Regions.

And Guishuang has now fallen into the embarrassment of fighting on two fronts.

The tribes in the south launched a rebellion, and there were some conflicts with the Parthia Empire in the west. There was no time to look north, and a peace treaty had already been signed.

Now the caravans of the Ming Kingdom are continuously bringing gold and silver back to the Ming Dynasty through special products such as silk, porcelain, and tea.

Gold and silver are hard currencies, holding gold and silver is tantamount to holding the future.

Xu An is very aware of this. The current position of Ming Ting is more than sufficient to continuously produce handicrafts such as silk and ceramics, in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver from other countries.

Such a huge amount of wealth will allow Ming Court to have a lot of benefits, with a lot of money to build infrastructure, as well as arm the army, develop science and technology, people's livelihood, and education.

Wealth can actually be converted into national strength, not only will it allow the Ming Dynasty to maintain its leading position in the world as much as possible in the future, but it will also allow ordinary people to obtain a higher quality of life.

"Your ship was seriously damaged on the way here. I will send someone to send you back to China this time to show our sincerity."

"Xu Hong."

Xu An didn't wait for Nan Shengmi to reply, knocked on the rail of the boat, and ordered.

"Send an order to Lu Sheng that the envoys from Yamatai will return with the Haidong Fleet, and then [-] warships will be dispatched from the Haidong Fleet to escort the Yamatai envoys back home."

"By the way, check the situation of the Gonu Kingdom and other small countries and tribes on the island. Except for the Yamatai Kingdom on Dongyi Island, since the rest of the countries do not pay tribute, there is no need to stay."

Nan Shengmi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and in the midst of the discussion, Xu An had already decided the fate of other countries and tribes.

Nan Shengmi was suddenly a little lucky that their lord was indeed able to communicate with ghosts and gods, otherwise he would not have sent them to meet this Taoist monarch of the Ming Kingdom.

It must be that their lords foresaw that if they were unwilling to surrender, they might encounter the disaster of destroying the country, so they sent them here.

Thinking of this, Nan Shengmi felt a little relieved, and then Nan Shengmi retreated knowingly. Although he was relieved, he was still somewhat shocked.

Xu An looked away from Nan Shengmi, and the matter of Dongyi Island came to an end.

At this time, the Liaozhou was sailing in the center of the fleet, and the rest of the ships were chasing the fleeing Han warships.

Xu An noticed that Zhou Yu's warship was sailing towards the beach.

Xu An frowned slightly, Zhou Yu's boat was going very fast.

After all, it is a warship as a flagship, so it is really difficult to chase.

And without the help of the wind, it is still difficult for the big boat to catch up with the small boat only by paddles and boats.

Zhou Yu's flagship was already at the back, but it was about to rush to the beach at this time.

It seems that Zhou Yu probably won't be able to keep Zhou Yu this time, but the results obtained now have far exceeded the expectations at the time.

Many of the warships of the Han navy were captured, and Xu An planned to burn all the warships stranded on the beach.

This also means that the naval fleet that the Han court spent a lot of money to support was wiped out after this battle, and could no longer pose any threat to them.

As a brave and outstanding general in the Han army, Sun Ce was beheaded in this naval battle, which can also be used as an article to damage the morale of the Han army.

Sun Jian and Sun Ce died in battle one after another, which will definitely greatly affect the morale of Yuzhou soldiers and Yangzhou soldiers.

"Command Gongsun Kang to send the Liaozhou Fleet to the Qiandao Islands to escort the next batch of soldiers to land after the Hanting navy is cleared."

"The next batch of soldiers will also transport 4000 people, and also bring the accessories of the catapult."

Xu An turned his gaze to the east.

"The first batch of troops who landed should have cleaned up the landing sites, and will march into Huang County tomorrow, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

The landing battle was initially nothing more than a positional battle.

And to attack Huang County next, you must use a counterweight trebuchet.

A strong attack on a heavily fortified city will inevitably cause huge casualties.

The counterweight catapult has been improved for a long time, and now it is disassembled in many places, so that it is easy to transport.

As long as you get to the place, you can assemble it.

This time the siege, these counterweight catapults will become a stepping stone for the Ming army.

The beacon tower set up by the Han court was still well prepared, Xu An could see it, and knew a lot of inside information through the Eagle Wolf Guard.

But he wasn't worried about the [-] troops who landed, and he didn't think that Bao Xin's troops could win the battle.

And Xu An also prepared a huge surprise for Bao Xin, counting the time, Bao Xin should have received the surprise by now.

Chapter 849 Taking Huang County from the West

The northern beaches of Qingzhou and Donglai County.

At this time, on the grass outside the beach, there was a piece of broken swords and halberds, and the corpses of a large number of generals were piled up on top of each other. It looked like a scene in purgatory, and the sight was full of scarlet. .

The original smell in the sea breeze is also mixed with the extremely unpleasant smell of blood, which makes people want to vomit involuntarily.

The flag was broken, and the blood seeped into the sand on the beach, condensing the gravel into one piece after another.

Everything indicates that a war broke out here not long ago.

On the beach, a ochre-yellow flag fluttered in the wind.
