Li Anran said, "We are not scuttling the ships for no reason; these two vessels have committed monstrous crimes."
As Li Anran had verified, these two large ships essentially functioned as pirate vessels—and massive ones at that, even involving regular troops from the Wei State. They served as tools for plundering countries along the coast. Sometimes they sailed far to the east, bringing devastation to the eastern shores of the Southern Kingdom, the Yiding Kingdom, and the Xuanbei Kingdom, and they had even invaded and colonized several smaller island nations.
Of course, these two were not the only ones; many other large ships had already left port and put out to sea, leaving only these two at the dock.
