The Northwest Army could not build aircraft carriers, but it could build warships according to the width of the major rivers in Dai Viet.
The final product could hold fifty small boats, each capable of carrying forty people. In addition, the warship's survivability and attack power were awe-inspiring.
Lu Yanzheng stood on the deck of the warship, watching the sunset gradually sink below the horizon.
Traveling by water would be half a month faster than by land, and the Northwest Army's warships could go anywhere as if they were in an empty field. It all depended on how the imperial court would deal with it.
As for Prince Yong, well, he never took him seriously.
If he dared to take away a large number of troops from Qiongzhou, he must have left them with the ability to protect themselves. Moreover, the Northwest Army that went out was for fighting, not for hiding in the deep mountains and forests.
The imperial court should receive the news as early as tomorrow night, but it's uncertain whether Prince Yong will live to see that day.

Jiang Qinyu flipped through the ledger in her hand, and asked thoughtfully, "Did Mine No. 1 only yield this much gold?"

"Wait in the flower hall." Yunzhu quickly followed.
When Jiang Qinyu arrived at the flower hall, she saw a thin, small old man standing there.
"This humble subject, Wu Zihai, greets Your Highness!" The old man nervously bowed to Jiang Qinyu.
Jiang Qinyu raised her hand and said, "Old man, there's no need to be so polite. Let's talk about the Blackwater!"
She's been really busy lately, with no time for small talk, so we had to get straight to the point.
The old man paused for a moment, then quickly recounted the discovery of the black water in detail.
