522. Quickly dispel confusion

The great victory at sea, the good news reached back first thing.

Nobody expected such a brilliant triumph, the whole nation was astounded!

The day's newspaper sales went up by fourfold, even the hard laborers at the docks went to the teahouses to listen to the outcome.

No wonder people reacted so strongly, given that the original Shun Dynasty had never won a battle and instead had been saddled with a stack of unequal treaties.

The Great Yi Dynasty actually won the first battle, wiping out an entire fleet of Izumo! It was simply unbelievable!

And those with insight understood that this inaugural victory was not only a great morale booster but also of immense strategic importance.

With control of the seas, the frontline could be supplied by sea, which was extremely convenient.
