"Alas, how can the empire not defend against it, successive emperors have regarded this maritime as the first class national defense, but our Xianglong is a landlocked country, although the coastline is long, but since the founding of the country, the energy has been put on the inland, and when we turn back to rectify the coastal defense, it is too late, our Xianglong's military strength is the first, this is not virtual, but this refers to land warfare, this sea, although the empire's annual investment is not small, but, you start slowly, and then chase, how can you easily catch up, and that Shuiyue Island, Since the time of this place, the people of the sea on the island have been engaged in sea operations, and in the entire South China Sea, there is no place where people are more familiar with the sea than them, you say, how can you let the soldiers who are good at horseback combat like the bumps on the ship?"
said the old man in red with a sigh.
"Then mobilize the fishermen along the coast and train them into an army, that's fine," Long Yu returned.
"Well, at first the empire thought so and did so, but it is not enough to have people, you have to have weapons, the ship is the basis for sea warfare, our Xianglong Empire's shipbuilding technology is a hundred years behind those island countries on the sea, everyone is a building ship of hundreds of meters, and our largest sailboat is only ten meters long, how to fight" The old man in red said helplessly.
"We don't have a boat to buy, and we don't have money."
Long Yu returned like a stunned green.
"Child, how can the empire not think of this, but if you want to buy it, someone has to sell it" The old man in red pointed to the mural, "This is the most powerful attack ship of the Patrol Division back then, this ship empire spent nearly 10 million gold coins to buy from the hands of the Zerbaiting Empire, and it is also a warship that has been eliminated by others, but we can't build such a ship."
The old man in red looked at the boat, helpless and annoyed.
"That's thousands of gold coins" Long Yu was taken aback, the boat in the painting is only a few tens of meters high, with a few more turrets, compared to the 100-meter building boat in the old man's mouth, it can only be said to be a rabbit under the feet of a lion.
"With a strong military force at sea, in addition to those sea robbers such as Shuiyue Island, and then the Shills Empire with a strip of water in the Janbaiting Empire, and the Shills Empire has no contact with our country at all, and the relationship between the Janbaiting Empire and our country is not very good, so those advanced shipbuilding technologies cannot be transmitted to us at all, and we can only endure the oppression of these sea robbers."
The words of the old man in red opened up the true side of the Xianglong Empire to Long Yu.
Since he was a child, he has lived in this powerful country, and he is used to seeing countless world firsts, in Long Yu's heart, the country where he is located, on this continent, that is the role of the boss, who would have thought, this boss, in fact, is also a little annoyed.
"A thousand years have passed, and those majestys who have been heroic and martial arts are not as good as the generation, and gradually began to live in the aura of the first power in this continent, since the Zhai family was transferred out of Haiphong, I heard that the empire directly negotiated with Shuiyue Island, and provided them with some materials and money every year, on the condition that they should not harass the coastline of the empire."
The old man in red still said helplessly.
Long Yu also nodded a little angrily, but there is no way, he can't beat others, so he can only use the method of negotiation, but no matter how he thinks about it, he is a little guilty.
"Alas, this is the case, and the person Yanzi married happens to be the youngest son of the current owner of Shuiyue Island, it is conceivable that in the eyes of others, what has become of my Zhai family, so in order to protect the reputation of the Zhai family, my father had to endure the pain of Yanzi and cut off the father-daughter relationship."
Only then did Long Yu understand that in this matter, whether it was his grandmother or the father of the old man in red, they did the right thing, and the mistake was the hatred of the enemy family in this country, Romeo and Juliet in the other world, can they be happy "Then uncle, why do you say that my grandmother and grandfather died for the Zhai family" Long Yu asked curiously, it stands to reason that this should be old and dead, why are they involved again, and it seems to be quite tragic.
"This is also the injustice of the Zhai family, although the four generations of Zhai family ancestors have stayed in the South China Sea, but Shuiyue Island is not easy, the three island owners also died under the hands of my Zhai family, and the grandfather of the water clear stream was killed by my grandfather, and after the Zhai family moved to Yibin by the emperor's grace, Shuiyue Island is even more hopeless for revenge, for this reason, they have been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to give the Zhai family a fatal blow."
The old man in red said through gritted teeth.
"When I was twenty-six years old, just promoted to the Great Demon Master, and when my mentor led me to retreat and cultivate, that Shuiyue Island actually raided the Zhai family in Yibin."
The old man in red clenched his fists, and whenever he mentioned this matter, he hated and regretted it.
"That tragedy, if it weren't for the swallow and Shui Qingliu coming back, it is estimated that now in this world, the only living Zhai family is myself."
The old man in red sighed and said, at this time of crisis for the family, it was the little sister who was expelled from the family who saved the family in the end, how could he not let him be ashamed and regretful as an elder brother.
"No one told me what happened back then, and when I got the news and came back, I saw the tombstones of my sister and brother-in-law, and I heard from my father that my brother-in-law and sister had single-handedly blocked nearly a hundred killers, including two saint-level masters and two great mages."
The old man in red said sadly.
Long Yu gasped, the two saint-level masters and the two great mages may not be anything in the eyes of today's old man in red, but at that time, his sister, that is, his grandmother, was only twenty-three years old, according to this calculation, his grandfather is not very old, so the two of them, at a young age, can block so many masters, what should their strength be "I heard that in order to eliminate the idea of revenge on Shuiyue Island, my brother-in-law cut off his heart in front of those remaining killers, and shouted to the sky, the Zhai family owes me back to the Shui family."
When the old man in red talked about this, his emotions were very complicated, his voice was a little trembling, Long Yu was also very entangled in listening, and his chest was very stuffy, what was going on.
"I don't know if Shui Qingliu's death really played a role, or because of other reasons, since then, Shuiyue Island has been looking for trouble with the Zhai family, and my sister, on the night of Shui Qingliu's death, went with him, leaving only the lonely Rou'er, that is, your mother, at that time, she was only six years old, she personally experienced the taste of losing her father and mother at the same time in one day, and it was precisely because of this that she left an indelible shadow in Rou'er's heart, and it was precisely because of this that she hated the Zhai family and hated me."
The old man in red let out a sigh of relief, and finally finished telling the ins and outs of this.
Long Yu smashed it, smashed it, his heart was extremely entangled, it was good not to listen to it, after listening to it, his life experience was even more so, the only son of the Long family, what is the identity of the Long family, a symbol of loyalty and patriotism in the mainland, and his grandfather turned out to be a notorious Shuiyue Island person, and this Shuiyue Island people, because of their own wife, went to war with their own clan, and finally died in a foreign land, how does this sound like a story sung in the play, now it happened to Long Yu, it really made him unable to react for a while.
"Yu'er, Yu'er, are you okay" Seeing that Long Yu didn't speak for a long time, the old man in red thought that what he said scared Long Yu, and hurriedly said with concern.
"Ah, uncle."
Long Yu came back to his senses with an indifferent face, no one in this matter would be as calm as Long Yu is now, at least he didn't shout I don't believe I don't believe it or anything like that.
"Uncle, there are some things I really don't understand."
Long Yu thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
"Where is it" The old man in red narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed something, and hurriedly asked.
"The people of Shuiyue Island turned out to be the people of the sea, their dress, and language and customs must be different from my Xianglong people, and in addition to the enmity between Shuiyue Island and my country, in our place, the people of Shuiyue should be wanted criminals, how can their killers appear here with a swagger" Long Yu frowned slightly, and explained his incomprehension, although this thing sounded tragic, but it was inevitably strange.
"Yu'er, you are really extraordinary, this is the cemetery that I took you to the backyard of Zhai Mansion because I knew your identity."
The old man in red nodded and said with a serious face.
"Yibin is in the hinterland of the empire, it is an island on the sea, even if it is capable, it is not capable of running to the hinterland of the empire to assassinate meritorious nobles, this thing can happen, there are other people in the middle, and these people are exactly our own people Xianglong" The old man in red said calmly, Long Yu could feel the hatred in his heart, but at this juncture, the old man seemed to bury all the hatred again.
As soon as the old man in red said this, Long Yu immediately understood, there must be some other factors mixed in this, and this factor is irresistible to the old man in red, because, if he has taken revenge, then in front of Long Yu today, he will not be so out of shape.
"Uncle, who are those people" Although Long Yu had already thought it through, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy after all, and he wanted to say what he should say, so Long Yu asked this question stupidly like an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy.
"Actually, at first, my uncle didn't know, Yanzi was your uncle's most beloved sister, her death once made me sink, until two years later, I barely recovered from this grief, and it was from that time that I found out that this matter was unusual, and after I began to investigate, I found out that the Zhai family was calculated by the people of the Xianglong Empire, that is, their own people, hateful, my sister did not die in the hands of the people of Shuiyue Island, nor did she die under the clan rules of the Zhai family, Instead, he died at the hands of some scumbags with ambitions, so I must take revenge," the old man in red said categorically
