Chapter 59 The Merchant Ship Was Hijacked
in the library.

Wan Luoshan stood in front of Zheng Ming respectfully.

"This king intends to divide the fleet into two parts, one part is the offshore fleet, which is mainly responsible for the maritime trade around the Luoyu Islands, including escort and looting, under the control of your Yihetang."

"The second part is the voyage fleet. How far Shanhai County can go in the future depends on how strong this fleet is."

Zheng Ming handed Wan Luoshan the system and personnel arrangement of the two fleets.

After Wan Luoshan watched it, his mind moved.

"The subordinates must fully support the construction of the voyage fleet."

From Zheng Ming's planning, he can see that Zheng Ming attaches great importance to the voyage fleet.

At the same time, he also knew that Zheng Ming wanted to divide the power of Yihetang.

Now Yihetang's fleet has reached more than 4000 people, and it is still recruiting, and it is expected to recruit 7000 to [-] people.

Such a huge fleet has surpassed the army of Shanhai County.

In the personnel arrangement of the voyage fleet, it is full of balance.

The Audit Office, the battalions in the army, Yihetang, Beixuanzong, etc., people from all sides made interspersed arrangements to avoid certain people from forming a group.

The expedition fleet, in particular, is directly under the commander of Gao Shun in name. The captains of the three fleets established below are Qian Yushan, Wu Hao, a disciple of Huang Yu of the Northern Xuanzong, and Muyang, who has just joined Shanhai County. Third-rank warriors, and there is almost no relationship between them.

In addition to this, checks and balances have been placed in key positions in the fleet.

'It is worthy of being a royal family, and it shows the way the emperor uses people. '

Wan Luoshan thought silently in his heart.

He didn't have anything he didn't want. The fact that Yihetang was too strong was not a good thing for him, the hall master.

In case Zheng Ming felt that he was a threat one day and clicked him, he would not even have a reason to reason.

So he didn't mind Zheng Ming's power to divide Yihetang.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly and reassured: "Don't feel wronged, no matter what in the future, Yihetang will be part of this king's command, and you must be the chief officer of the offshore fleet."

This is his promise, and it is also his affirmation to Wan Luoshan.

"Your Highness Xie is very important." Wan Luoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

With Zheng Ming's words, he can be considered at ease.

To be honest, he was very uneasy recently, for fear that Zheng Mingqiu would settle accounts and cross the river and demolish the bridge.

……

Above the sea, the situation is unpredictable.

After the fleet that went to the Dongying Dynasty returned, the fleet that went to the Great Zhou Dynasty also returned within a few days.

However, compared to the former, the fleet heading to the Great Zhou Dynasty was much more embarrassing.

Not only did they encounter storms, but they were also attacked by pirates.

When they left, there were more than 100 people, but when they came back, there were less than 80 people left. Even Zhao Nanguo, the leader of the team, was seriously injured.

Zhao Nanguo is Huang Yu's fourth disciple, more than 40 years old, has a third-rank cultivation, is familiar with maritime affairs, and has a steady personality. However, even if he led the fleet to sail, he suffered such a blow, which made Zheng Ming deeply understand the sea. impermanence.

In the palace study.

Zhao Nanguo hung his right arm with gauze wrapped around his chest, and stood in front of Zheng Ming with a face full of shame.

"My subordinates are ashamed for not completing His Highness's mission." He said with a gloomy expression.

This was the first mission he received when he joined Zheng Ming's subordinates, but not only did he not complete it, but he also lost his troops.

Zheng Ming stood up, walked in front of him, and comforted: "It's not your fault. There are many dangers in the sea, natural and man-made disasters continue, and no one knows what will happen."

"It's good that you can bring back the boat and most of the people."

However, his comfort not only did not make Zhao Nanguo feel at ease, but instead became panic.

"Please, Your Highness, give this subordinate another chance."

This failure not only represented his personal failure, but also the failure of Northern Xuanzong.

Don't think that Bei Xuanzong will be safe if he joins Zheng Ming's command. In fact, Bei Xuanzong still has many competitors.

One of the biggest threats is Yihetang.

Now everyone in Yihetang is jealous of the Northern Xuanzong, thinking that they are just lucky, and they took refuge in Zheng Ming ahead of time before they obtained the order of the sect.

The people of Yihetang are eager to let Beixuanzong fail, so as to replace Beixuanzong and become the new sect of Shanhai County.

Before Zhao Nanguo came to Shanhai County, Huang Yu told him to do his best, and the first mission was like this.

The key is that Li Chuan completed the task. Comparing the two, doesn't it mean that their Northern Xuanzong is really inferior to Yihetang.

Zheng Ming smiled and said, "You should take care of your injury first, and then set off after half a month, or go to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Thank you, Your Highness, this subordinate will never fail again!"

Zhao Nanguo was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Go, go, have a good rest, and heal up."

After Zhao Nanguo left, Zheng Ming's face became gloomy.

It is not Zhao Nanguo's fault that the fleet encountered a storm. After all, without the observation of weather satellites, no one can accurately predict the weather changes.

However, when encountering pirates, there are some things that can't be said.

Yihetang came from a pirate background, but was robbed by pirates, this is a bit too much.

"Do you know the origins of those pirates?" Zheng Ming asked Yu Huatian next to him.

Yu Huatian said a little nervously: "I don't know."

Zheng Ming glared at him fiercely and said, "If you don't know, go check it out."

In the sea, there are many forces, and the Luoyu Islands are just a few.

There are countless pirate forces, and even some pirates have figures of major dynasties behind them.

In addition to the major dynasties, there is also the Thousand Islands Alliance, which is the paradise of pirates.

Although the Thousand Islands Alliance is far away from Shanhai County, it is only a few days' voyage from the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are often pirates from the Thousand Islands Alliance going to the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty to fight the autumn wind.

The pirates that Zhao Nanguo encountered were probably pirates from the Thousand Islands Alliance, or pirates from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yu Huatian is also wronged. Now the strength of the Inspection Institute is weak, but there are many tasks.

Not only to monitor the situation of the entire Dali Dynasty, but also to face the surrounding dynasties, as for the Qiandao Alliance, it is simply out of reach.

"His Royal Highness, there are not enough people in the Audit Office." Yu Huatian said aggrievedly.

Zheng Ming sat in front of the case desk, glanced at him, and said, "Why do you use the 300,000 taels I gave you? Would you know how to borrow chickens to lay eggs?"

Whether it is the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Thousand Islands Alliance, there are some intelligence-trafficking organizations. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely buy the intelligence you want.

He also knew that the strength of the Inspection Yuan was far from enough, but he didn't care about spending some money.

Yu Huatian said: "The servant understands, the servant will do it now."

After he left, Zheng Ming had even more headaches.

This is the first time that the Shanhai County fleet went to the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was robbed. It will inevitably encounter such a situation in the future.

If you want to stop this situation, only Liwei.

Only by letting the pirates in the surrounding waters understand that the fleet of Shanhai County cannot be touched can the fleet be guaranteed unimpeded.

But how to stand up, Zheng Ming had a headache.

The order to form a voyage fleet has only been issued a few days, the soldiers are still training, and it will take several months to form a combat force.

To be honest, he doesn't have the strength to fight a naval battle away from the waters of the Luoyu Islands.

"Mass, it's still not strong enough!"

Zheng Ming was very annoyed.
