Chu Yun proposed to go to the Ryukyu Islands to arrange a control route to the Nanyang, but Chen Ting, who was busy arranging logistics, had more than ten warships, supply ships, merchant ships, and thousands of navy personnel. The materials consumed every day were calculated based on tens of thousands of kilograms. Not only food, but also fresh water, herbs, gunpowder and other materials.

A large amount of supplies were transported to the port of Dalian Port, and then the workers on the dock loaded the supplies onto the supply ship.

Several workers on the docks were loading and unloading goods, and were still muttering privately.

"You see, there are so many things on the Fu Liao army that come to the ship. I guess they are going to go to sea or travel far away. Judging from the amount of this cargo, it is possible that the Fu Liao army's fleet will come out in full swing. With such a large scale, I wonder if that guy Chu Yun will come." A dock worker said.

"If Chu Yun comes in person, then we will find an opportunity to kill him. We can give an explanation to His Majesty's soul."

"On weekdays, Chu Yun has a large group of guards urging him, but we have no chance to start. If Chu Yun also wants to go out to sea, we will find a way to get on the boat where he is, take the opportunity to get rid of him, and then throw the body to the sea."

These workers were the Later Jin assassins who planned to assassinate Chu Yun during the Shangyuan Festival. However, the assassination plan for the Shangyuan Festival was accidentally ruined by Shimazu Kokusa, so they lurked from then on and did not wait for the good opportunity to assassinate Chu Yun. Until the demise of the Later Jin Dynasty, they cut off funds and had to work on the dock.

A group of great inner guards with great martial arts skills in the Later Jin Dynasty loaded and unloaded goods at the wharf. They fell to this point and they didn't believe it themselves, but they were forced by life.

"Their fleet is looking for chores to do chores and go to sea with the army. The employment period is three months, with three taels of silver per month. Why don't we go to apply for a job, mix in their fleet, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Chu Yun?"

"It is impossible for us, the big guards, to do odd jobs on the boat, clean the decks, and prepare food for the big head soldiers in this life!" said the assassin leader dissatisfied.

"Boss, what we do now is not as glorious as doing chores on the boat, and it costs less than two taels of silver a month. When we go to the boat for three months, we can save some money and improve our food." said an assassin.

"You - what you said makes sense. If you eat and drink, I will calculate the amount of us in a month. We can earn dozens of taels of silver in three months. We are going to pay it." The leader of the assassin rubbed his hands.

"Boss, is the most important thing for us to assassinate Chu Yun and avenge His Majesty?"

"Silly, how can we assassinate without funds? I think it's good to be a handyman on the boat. You can assassinate Chu Yun and save money." The leader of the assassin nodded and had long given up his integrity.

As time went by, more and more people noticed the movement of the Dalian Port Navy, and some merchants from Far East trading companies also came to attack Chu Yun indirectly, wanting to understand Chu Yun’s next big move so as to detect business opportunities in advance. But Chu Yun was unmoved at all. Except for the closest people, no one knew that Chu Yun was going to the Ryukyu Islands in person.

"The Fifth Infantry Brigade and the Sixth Infantry Brigade have reported war reports. They have recently fought seven battles with the Haixi Jurchens, beheading thousands of them, and opened up the passage from Jianzhou to Hulunbuir. The Haixi Jurchens were divided into two parts and their power further contracted." Zhao Youguang from the Military Staff reported to Chu Yun about the battle situation west of Jianzhou.

"The Jurchens in Haixi are just struggling to death and will surrender to us sooner or later. Let the Fifth Infantry Brigade and the Sixth Infantry Brigade continue to grind them until they take the initiative to surrender to us." Chu Yun waved his hand, "Let the Third Infantry Brigade guard Jianzhou to prevent the remnants of the Jurchen nobles in Jianzhou, the Second Infantry Brigade, the Fourth Infantry Brigade and the Two Dragoon Brigades defend Xining Fort, Liaohetao, and Liaodongcheng First Generation Defense, and prevent the Ming army from heading south from going south in Ningyuan. The First Infantry Brigade and the Artillery Brigade were stationed in Jinzhou, responsible for the newly prepared overseas infantry brigade and overseas artillery brigade."

"Sir, will our army expand faster? Now our army has six infantry brigades, two cavalry brigades, and one artillery brigade, with a total of nine brigades of 50,000. Even the army on the Ningyuan front line is not as many as us, and it is more than enough to be responsible for defense. Why do we have to increase military expenditures?" Zhao Youguang asked in confusion.

"Looking at the long term, the newly established infantry brigades and artillery brigades are not for defense, but for attack. We need an army that can be deployed to any island in the East China Sea at any time to carry out mountain combat and destroy the enemy. I have provided them with a group of 7,000 to 8,000 people, which is much more than ordinary infantry brigades."

"The market in the South China Sea is tens of millions of taels of silver every year, not only Japan and Goryeo, but also the southeast coast, the Nanyang island countries, Annan countries and Westerners. Do you know how much tolls the 18 Zhi Pirates charge for large merchant ships that come and go? Three thousand taels of silver per ship! As long as we control this route, we can make a profit of more than one million taels of silver every year with just tariffs! In addition, we dump goods wildly, I only need to invest million taels of silver in the navy and overseas teams, but I can get a steady stream of millions of silver every year. How much money do you think we will have if we continue for a few years?" Chu Yun said.

"This is worth it, it is worth it!" After hearing Chu Yun's calculation, several military staff members' eyes shone brightly, and they wanted to roll up their sleeves and take down Nanyang immediately.

Chu Yun is actually not a profit brought by snatching territory, resources, and manipulating other kingdoms. Chu Yun knows that many important strategic materials in the future will be produced in the Nanyang islands, such as natural rubber.

"So, I will take risks and work hard for our glorious future to restore the Liao army. Is it easy for me?" Chu Yun couldn't help but become intoxicated.

Time continued to go on, and it was soon autumn. Chu Yun came to this time and entered his third year. With the emergence of two Class III battleships and several twenty-four artillery gunships, the battleships under the jurisdiction of the Navy reached an astonishing three. Two of the battleships were sail battleships produced in southern Liaoning. They were named "Da Qin" and "Da Qi" by Chu Yun, with the goal of gathering the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

In addition to three battleships, there were thirteen frigates, and two gunships were left behind to stay at Dalian Port. This time, he went to sea, and there were sixteen naval warships, seven supply ships, and followed several merchant ships to trade in Ryukyu. The owners of these merchant ships were also agile and took this opportunity to let the navy open the way, and his own merchant ships followed behind. With such a strong army, who dared to rob in the East China Sea? Are you tired of living or looking for a draw?
