Kyoto.

Royal study room.

The room was hot and filled with the smell of sparks.

Emperor Qing enjoyed smelting iron and sharpening arrows.

He was an emperor, but his head was covered in sweat and his hands were stained.

There was also a lot of iron dust on his sleeves.

A strand of hair on the forehead was accidentally exposed to the high temperature and became a little curly.

It smells like burning hair.

Emperor Qing spent a lot of effort on the development of armor-piercing arrows and never gave up.

At this time, excited voices were heard from far away outside the hall.

Eunuch Hou's voice was a little sharp and a little feminine, a unique tone of voice after a eunuch had undergone castration.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news from Jiangnan!"

The word "good news" says it all.

Emperor Qing was greatly shocked.

He was really surprised to hear the good news so quickly.

Moreover, Eunuch Hou has been serving me personally for many years and has always been steady. He would not have lost his composure like this if it wasn't extremely good news.

After reading the battle report, Emperor Qing was even more shocked and remained silent for a long time.

In just one day and one battle, the entire Japanese pirate army was wiped out.

This record is really exaggerated!

Before this, he had also made some predictions about the war situation.

I thought that even if we couldn't defeat the Japanese pirates, we could still drive them out to sea by relying on our numerical advantage.

Then, a large army can be stationed along the coast.

However, he never expected that Li Chengqian would come to Jiangnan with a thunderous force and decide the outcome of the battle in one battle.

All 50,000 Japanese pirates were wiped out, and none escaped.

"Great!"

The supreme ruler could not help but exclaim in admiration at this moment.

However, looking at the battle report, the No. 1 Warehouse in the World also participated in this battle.

Moreover, a kind of large warship was dispatched, which had never been seen in either Qing Kingdom or Northern Qi Kingdom. He couldn't help but frown slightly.

It is certain that this type of warship is the largest ship in the world today.

However, both the North and the South are unable to build such ships, nor do they have the shipbuilding capabilities to do so.

There is only one possibility, this is the world's number one warehouse, and it has been built secretly over the years.

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The world's number one warehouse actually has such strength.

This was something he didn't expect.

According to reports, this type of ship is also equipped with a weapon.

Under the bombardment, the Japanese pirates' ships were torn into pieces on the spot.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Japanese pirates could not perform their best naval battles and were forced to fight on land.

In the end, they were completely wiped out by the Black Cavalry and the Massacre Army.

Both the Qing Kingdom and the Northern Qi had muskets, but they did not have cannons.

Moreover, the muskets at that time had limited power and a short range.

What is even more limiting is that after each shot, the gunpowder and bullet must be reloaded.

The process is complicated and time-consuming.

Moreover, the barrel of a musket would often explode, injuring the user.

Therefore, the military did not use it.

Emperor Qing couldn't help but be very interested in the enormous power of the new weapons used by the No. 1 Warehouse in the World.

His lifelong ambition is to lead the Kingdom of Qing to unify the world.

Therefore, powerful weapons are naturally indispensable.

In addition, those grand masters are also one of his obstacles.

Therefore, we must find a way to get rid of it.

Looking at the arrow in front of him, an idea flashed through Emperor Qing's mind.

Wouldn't it be easier if Li Chengqian were asked to develop armor-piercing arrows?

Now, he also realized that Li Chengqian had many secrets.

Moreover, he possesses various abilities.

He is not only the crown prince, but also a genius.

Emperor Qing decided that when Li Chengqian returned to Beijing, he would let him try to develop armor-piercing arrows.

Also, can such a powerful weapon be used against a grandmaster?

He has to ask about all these.

Looking at the battle report, a long-lost smile appeared on the emperor's face.

After taking a bite of the candied fruit, he immediately felt that it was extra sweet than usual. "This boy, well done, I didn't make a mistake!"

Emperor Qing said happily.

The good news from Jiangnan quickly spread throughout Kyoto from the Imperial Study.

Upon hearing the news, countless people were surprised.

"Didn't they say the Japanese pirates were very strong?"

"The prince is truly worthy of being the crown prince. He actually won the final victory in one battle and wiped out all the Japanese pirates."

"Great!"

"The prince also has the talent of a general!"

The whole of Kyoto was buzzing with discussion.

Everyone was shocked to hear the news.

Today, no one doubts the fighting power of the Tutu Army.

Because, they were the prince's guards.

The results speak for themselves!
The last few rumors left in the Southwest Gobi Desert have all been refuted.

Now, no one dares to question it anymore.

Otherwise, you will be attacked by people around you.

Fan Mansion.

The news of the victory in Jiangnan also reached Fan Jian.

At that time, Fan Jian and Liu Ruyu were in the study, discussing the truth of life and the mysteries of men and women.

Upon receiving the news, he immediately started reading the battle report without even caring about getting dressed.

"How can this be!"

Fan Jian was shocked.

"Master, what's wrong?" Liu Ruyu huddled in the quilt, her shoulders exposed, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her charm still lingering.

After the exercise, the blush on her face has not completely faded, which is quite charming.

"In the battle of Jiangnan, the prince had just arrived in Jiangnan and decided the outcome of the battle with just one battle. He completely annihilated the entire Japanese pirate army and no one escaped." Fan Jian said.

There was still disbelief in his voice.

In fact, it’s no wonder they were so shocked.

In everyone's memory, the Japanese pirates' naval combat capability was unmatched by few in the world.

For a long time, whether it was the Kingdom of Qing or the Northern Qi, those so-called naval forces, once they encountered the Japanese pirates, basically fled without a fight and were completely defeated.

In every battle, the Japanese pirates always won with fewer troops.

But this time, all 50,000 Japanese pirates were killed in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's unbelievable.

"This... could it be that the news is wrong?"

Liu Ruyu lifted the quilt, wrapped it around her chest, and asked.

"No." Fan Jian replied.

“I really didn’t realize that the prince’s power is so strong.

The world's largest gang and the world's largest warehouse is truly a miracle."

At this moment, Fan Jian thought of someone.

Ye Qingmei!
Back then, she was also full of legends.

Now, Li Chengqian is the same.

"I didn't expect that the prince could actually lead troops to fight." Liu Ruyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I'm afraid the whole Kyoto underestimates him." Fan Jian nodded.

"Is Fan Xian okay?" Liu Ruyu asked.

"He's fine, and he's made military achievements," said Fan Jian.

Before, he had always been worried that Fan Xian might die at the hands of Japanese pirates if he followed Li Chengqian.

I didn't expect the reversal to be so big.

Not only was nothing wrong, but he also killed the enemy and made great contributions.

"This prince..." Fan Jian pondered.

Looking at it now, Li Chengqian seems to be shrouded in mystery.

"Master, should we tell Ruoruo about this news?" Liu Ruyu asked.

Now, it is no longer a secret to the two of them that Ruoruo is a member of the Eastern Palace.

“No need, since she is from the East Palace, she must have her own information channels.

Maybe she has received the news by now."

Fan Jian said.

At this time, in Ruoruo's yard.

Looking at the battle report in her hand, a smile appeared on Ruoruo's face.

In the entire Kyoto, no one was optimistic about this battle.

Only she is different.

From the very beginning, she firmly believed that Li Chengqian would be able to destroy the Japanese pirates.

Now, it has been proven that she was right.

This battle was a great victory!
