On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1196 Anyone who offends the might of my Great Qian Dynasty, no matter how far away, shall be

Without uttering any more nonsense, Yue Fei kowtowed heavily, then resolutely turned around and strode away from the workshop.

He needed to get to Guangzhou as quickly as possible!

He wanted to personally prepare an unprecedented, fiery feast for the impending Western invincible fleet!

Watching Yue Fei's departing figure, filled with murderous intent, Murong Yan's heart, which had been tense due to the upcoming battle, calmed down a little.

She walked to Lin Zhen's side, nestled into his arms, and said with a hint of emotion in her voice, "Husband, tell me, aren't we too bad?"

"Using a fake treasure map to swindle an army of over 20,000. If word got out, the whole world would probably call us treacherous devils, wouldn't they?"

"Devils?" Lin Zhen sneered disdainfully. "Yan'er, don't forget who they are."

"They are robbers! They are invaders!"

“They traveled thousands of miles to our doorstep, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities! Are we supposed to talk to them about benevolence and morality?”

"To deal with robbers, you have to use methods that are even more ruthless and vicious than theirs!"

"We not only want to leave all their people behind, but we also want to turn their ships, their cannons, and everything else into spoils of war for our Great Qian!"

"We will use their blood and bones to declare to the world!"

"Anyone who offends the might of my Great Qian Dynasty, no matter how far away, shall be punished!"

Lin Zhen's words were filled with a cold, unquestionable domineering and murderous intent.

Murong Yan listened quietly, and the last trace of womanly compassion in her beautiful phoenix eyes completely vanished.

She knew her husband was right.

This isn't a dinner party; it's a life-or-death war.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"Okay." She raised her head and, taking the initiative, placed a cold and resolute kiss on his lips.

"Let's join hands, my husband and I."

"Give those arrogant Western barbarians a lesson in Eastern history that they'll never forget!"

……

With the plan finalized, the entire Great Qian Empire, this massive war machine, began to operate at an astonishing speed.

Yue Fei traveled day and night, riding at breakneck speed, and in just seven days, he arrived in Guangzhou, thousands of miles away, from Chang'an.

Upon arriving in Guangzhou, he immediately took over all military command in both Guangdong and Fujian.

Then, following the plan he had previously discussed with Lin Zhen and Murong Yan, he began intensive pre-battle preparations.

On one hand, he ordered all warships of the naval forces in Guangzhou and Fujian to retreat to the inner harbor and not to engage in battle. At the same time, he ordered the emergency evacuation of all valuables and most of the people in Guangzhou to safe areas in the rear.

The order to "fortify the city and clear the fields" plunged the entire city of Guangzhou into panic.

Many ordinary people and merchants, unaware of the truth, thought that the imperial court was going to abandon Guangzhou, and they cried and wailed, and the people were filled with fear.

On the other hand, Yue Fei secretly mobilized tens of thousands of craftsmen and laborers to begin a massive secret project on both sides of the Humen waterway.

They quarried mountains and built fortifications and buried cannons.

They also requisitioned thousands of civilian fishing boats and converted them into fire-attack ships filled with kerosene and sulfur.

In just a few days, he transformed the entire Humen waterway into an airtight death trap.

They were just waiting for that arrogant East India Company fleet to crash right into them.

Meanwhile, in Chang'an.

Murong Yan was also busy.

With lightning speed, she launched a massive "counter-espionage" storm across the country.

All shops and trading companies that had dealings with Western merchants were shut down.

All blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerners, whether you are a merchant, a missionary, or a tourist, will be imprisoned and interrogated severely!

The Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Night Owl's assassins, like ghosts in the night, are present in every corner of Chang'an.

Anyone who dares to spread rumors and disturb public order at this critical juncture will be "vanished" from the face of the earth in an instant.

Under Murong Yan's almost oppressive iron-fisted rule, the entire Daqian region did not fall into chaos due to this sudden war.

Instead, it unleashed an unprecedented sense of unity and shared hatred against a common enemy!

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, continued his "leisurely" life of recuperating in the workshop.

His daily task now is to spend time with his increasingly sleepy and clingy little wife.

Tell her stories and recite poems.

Or you could discuss with her what name they should give their unborn child.

Life was ordinary, yet filled with a happiness that defies description.

However, he knew that these peaceful days wouldn't last long.

Because the "treasure map" he himself released has already begun to ferment.

......

Outside Guangzhou Port, on the azure sea.

A massive fleet of over fifty warships of various types lay there silently, like a dark cloud.

At the very center of the fleet was a massive, three-deck supersail battleship, resembling a sea monster.

This warship is named "Conqueror".

It was the East India Company's most powerful and advanced flagship.

The ship is over 200 feet long and has a displacement of up to 3,000 tons.

The ship was equipped with a total of 120 state-of-the-art 24-pound cannons on both sides.

Its firepower density and the power of a single shell were enough to instantly blast any contemporary wooden warship into a pile of burning fragments floating on the sea!

At this moment, in the incredibly luxurious captain's cabin of the "Conqueror".

A tall, bearded man with one eye, dressed in a magnificent East India Company naval commodore uniform, was looking at a nautical chart of Guangzhou Port on the table with a gloomy expression.

He was the supreme commander of the East India Company's expeditionary fleet, and the man Elizabeth referred to as the "Butcher of the Sea."

—Barbosa.

“General,” a young adjutant standing beside him asked cautiously, looking at his somber face, “we have been anchored here for three whole days.”

“Those cowardly Easterners did nothing but hide in the harbor like turtles, not daring to come out.”

"What...what should we do next? We can't just keep dragging this on, can we?"

"Keep dragging this out?"
