Chapter 221 Horse 6 Armor
"President Wang, you are so polite. I will have to rely on you to take care of my business in the future."
Sanjay smiled.
"Hahaha, easy to say."
"Then President Sanjay, I will take my leave."
“President Wang, take care.”
"Um."
Ning Quan nodded and ordered the crew to board the ship.
After everything was ready, the warship slowly sailed out of the dock and headed towards the open sea.
"Oh my god, is this a ship? Why is it so big?"
"Yeah, this is bigger than a city."
“It looks like a mountain!”
“Oh my God, what do I see?”
As the warships merged with the offshore fleet, the 10,000-ton ship appeared in front of the many crew members.
All the crew members were shocked and looked amazed.
What they saw was a giant ship of the same size as a giant, four or five hundred meters long and as tall as dozens of stories.
The hull is silver-white and sparkles brightly in the sun, like a gem.
This scene happened yesterday, and the crew members recruited yesterday had the same reaction when they saw the big ship.
Ning Quan ignored their shock.
It’s impossible to keep such a big ship secret, so just see it.
"His Royal Highness is back."
When they returned to the ship, Jia Xu, Zhou Yu and others were already waiting.
"Um."
"Have the supplies been delivered?"
Ning Quan asked.
"Your Highness, they have all been delivered."
"We have enough supplies to last two months."
Jia Xu reported.
"Ah, very good!"
"Then redeploy and set off."
Ning Quan ordered.
"Yes."
Zhou Yu immediately accepted the order and turned around to make arrangements.
All the warships have newly recruited crews, but Ning Quan is still not very reassured, so soldiers must be stationed on each warship to prevent any accidents.
Soon, nearly a thousand soldiers boarded all the warships.
"Master, the soldiers have been arranged."
"General Zhou has sent the signal, we can set off."
Captain Huang Yong walked into the cockpit and reported to Ning Quan.
"Well, let's go."
"Yes."
Huang Yong responded and ordered the boat to sail.
"Boom~"
"Buzz~"
As the giant ship moved, the sea surface shook and huge waves surged.
A huge fleet followed closely behind, sailing towards the Indian Ocean in a mighty manner.
The sea breeze whistled, the waves roared, and huge waves were set off.
Ning Quan stood on the deck, looking at the blue sky in the distance, and his mood suddenly became clear.
Now he has ten warships, and the prototype of his navy has been formed.
Next, he only needs to seize Ryukyu and then develop steadily, and he will soon be able to build a strong navy.
From then on, they dominated the ocean.
“The sea is my dream!”
Ning Quan raised a faint smile on his face, his heart filled with confidence.
..........
The fleet sailed along the coastline, but not very fast because there were a large number of merchant ships in the fleet.
Along the way, we encountered many passing ships and caravans, and even a few groups of pirates.
However, these pirates were frightened by the might of the ten-thousand-ton ships and warships and did not dare to come up and cause trouble, but stayed away from them.
Otherwise, Ning Quan wouldn't mind capturing a few more pirate ships.
Ten days later, the fleet entered the Indian Ocean.
Ning Quan had a harvest in the waters near the Lion Country.
He rescued a merchant caravan that was being robbed by pirates and captured three pirate ships.
The Lion Country is actually Sri Lanka, an island country in the Indian Ocean, facing the Mughal Empire across the sea.
The rescued fleet belonged to the royal family of the Lion Kingdom and was responsible for trade between the Mughal Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom.
The leader of the fleet, who was also the chief steward of the royal household, was very grateful to Ning Quan for his help.
He tried his best to invite Ning Quan to visit the Lion Country, but Ning Quan declined.
How could he have time to waste?
The fleet then continued to sail southeast.
Ningquan’s next destination was Malacca.
Malacca is the most important shipping hub in Southeast Asia and the gateway to Southeast Asia.
It belongs to the State of Johor and is the imperial capital of the State of Johor.
Ningquan will resupply again in Malacca and then proceed to Tamsui.
............
Time passed quickly, and a month later the fleet finally arrived in Malacca.
The port of Malacca is huge, with hundreds of thousands of various merchant ships anchored at the port.
The port is bustling with traffic.
The scale of Malacca City is not small, and it is not much smaller than the capital of the Great Qian Empire.
This is mainly due to the development of maritime trade.
The arrival of Ning Quan's huge fleet also attracted everyone's attention.
"Whose fleet is this? Why is it so large?"
"I don't know. I've only heard of a fleet of this size, but I've never seen one."
"With such a large fleet, he must be a wealthy man."
Everyone speculated.
Ning Quan naturally had no interest in listening to these discussions. Fortunately, the large ship was waiting in the open sea, otherwise it might cause a riot.
After the fleet docked at the port, Ning Quan immediately went to the ship's office to handle formalities and took the time to arrange for supplies.
It has been two months since we set out from Persia. Time is running out and there is no time to lose.
............
Soon, Ning Quan completed the supply procedures.
It would take two days to get supplies, so Ning Quan went into the city to stroll around.
I want to experience the local customs and learn about the situation here.
Malacca’s geographical location is crucial for developing a navy in the future.
As soon as he entered Malacca, Ning Quan was immediately attracted by the prosperity of the city.
The whole city was bustling with activity, and the streets were bustling with people.
There are many shops along the street, selling everything
There are so many kinds of goods that it is dizzying.
“It’s really prosperous here.”
Ning Quan sighed.
“Not just prosperous, but very wealthy.”
Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"You're right. Trade promotes development. With such a prime location, it's hard not to be prosperous."
"General Zhou, from now on it will depend on your efforts."
"In time, I hope this place will belong to me."
Ning Quan smiled slightly.
His goal is not just Ryukyu, he wants to rule the whole world.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best!"
Zhou Yu bowed and said.
"Um."
Ning Quan nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
...............
The group chatted as they walked and soon arrived at a restaurant.
The shop sign is in Chinese, obviously it is run by Han people.
"Please come in, both of you."
When the waiter saw Ning Quan and his group coming, he hurried forward and greeted them respectfully.
The restaurant is spacious, luxuriously decorated, and the furnishings are exquisite, clearly showing a lot of thought put into it.
Ning Quan glanced around, then went straight to the stairs and went up to the second floor.
The second floor is also very spacious, with several private rooms in addition to scattered seating.
After finding a private room to sit down, Ning Quan began to order food.
