The sea breeze was blowing and the waves were sparkling. The huge bow split the sea surface, splashing huge waves at a speed of twelve knots.

Three northwestern men in their thirties stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the land that had appeared on the distant sea line, with very complicated emotions.

Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang, and Wang Ziyong were the first leaders of the Shaanxi peasant uprising in terms of history.

It's no wonder that they can gain everyone's support and obedience by doing the same thing. These three people originally had quite high prestige in their respective hometowns: if a poor man wants to have prestige in the village, he basically has to use hard fists and talk.

Loyalty, doing things relatively fairly.

"Huh~" Facing the sea breeze, he took a deep breath of cigarette, and then blew out a light smoke ring. Gao Yingxiang glanced at Wang Jiayin who was holding a dry tobacco bag and kept clicking: "I said, Lao Wang, why are you so addicted to smoking?

Big? Isn't it good to smoke cigarettes? Do you have to smoke like this? No wonder Monk Wang doesn't smoke. He gives you all his cigarettes and you still steal my cigarettes to smoke."

"Hey, what do you know? Haven't you heard from the instructor that the Indian people in South America smoke hookah, and the smell of that stuff is stronger than ours. Think about it, we brought our own hookahs this time.

There are twenty or thirty young people in the village, totaling less than two hundred people. If you want to survive here, do you need the support of the local Yin Di'an people? tmd, you go to other tribes as guests, you can't even smoke cigarettes, and you said

What’s next?”

"Oh! I can't tell, Lao Wang, you, a rough guy who doesn't know a word of Chinese characters, have actually thought so deeply about the work of the united front."

"Hehe, of course." Wang Jiayin touched his head: "Ever since the emperor gave me this opportunity, I have cherished it even more. That's what I think. People like us are always easy to fight against injustice in our respective hometowns.

, if you don’t come here, sooner or later you will be taken care of by old parents from all over the world. Besides, restless people like us, aren’t we just waiting for this day? So, when the teachers from the military academy came to talk about united front,

Well, I listened most carefully."

"You make sense." Wang Ziyong, who was born bald and was known as Monk Wang, said: "We have already seen the land. I just asked Admiral Du. He said that we have to walk south for a while close to the land. The most is

Tomorrow, we will disembark."

"Then we have to start preparing." Gao Yingxiang flicked the cigarette butt in his hand into the sea and turned around: "Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai."

As soon as he shouted, the three young men who had been playing cards in the cabin quickly ran out: "What are your orders, Captain Gao?"

In fact, based on more than a year of daily contact, at least their chief instructor, Lieutenant General Li Chunzhong, commander of the Third Division of the Ming Dynasty, liked these three young men more.

In Li Chunzhong's view, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong have affinity and leadership, but that's all. As for the next three, Li Zicheng is good at using people, Zhang Xian is good at attacking, and Luo Rucai is good at conspiracy and conspiracy.

There is no need to go to extremes. Therefore, in Li Chunzhong's personal opinion, he still feels that the latter three are better able to survive in the cruel environment of America.

However, who made the emperor say that these guys going to America to disrupt the local social order is only the first step, and there will be a second step in the follow-up? Therefore, these three guys have to be put on bridles.

Therefore, at the conferment ceremony before departure, Li Chunzhong gave Gao Yingxiang the rank of captain, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong were lieutenants, and the remaining three guys were all second lieutenants - the superior-subordinate relationship of this team was very clear.

"We will disembark tomorrow morning at most. Li Zicheng, tell the 160 brothers below to pack their bags and check the beds, cabins, etc. Don't yell about leaving valuables on the bed after getting off the ship.

.”

"yes!"

"Zhang Xianzhong, take ten brothers and go to the cargo ship behind to see our horses. Well, you have done a good job during this period. In the voyage of more than three months, only two horses died. This is the last day, but

Don’t let anything happen. We are going to the Pampas, and if we don’t have horses, we will be blind.”

"Okay, Brother Gao, just be at ease!"

"Luo Rucai, bring over your three plans and let's add them together."

"As you command!"

Following Gao Yingxiang's order, this group of northwest men quickly began to get busy. Naturally, their actions were clearly seen by Du Youning, who was on the command tower at this time.

"Oh, Lao Zheng, these guys from northern Shaanxi are in good spirits. Haha, they are about to get off the ship and fight to the death. Why aren't you nervous at all?"

The person who can talk to Du Youning in such a casual tone is naturally also a graduate of Fangshan School. He sailed to America with Du Youning and is now the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Marine Corps, Major General Zhang Hong.

After deciding to send back Tiya and Liuco to disrupt the Spanish American colonies, the strategic position of Hawaii, an archipelago in the middle of the Pacific, became very important. Therefore, Zhu Youdong sent Zhang Hong as early as a few years ago.

Led five thousand marines, and with the cooperation of Japan's Toyotomi family, landed in Hawaii by boat. After the senior officials of the Toyotomi family persuaded Tokugawa Yoshinao to surrender the last remaining strength, the Ming Dynasty's flags were hung on various Hawaiian islands.

Sun and moon flag.

Now, this is not only a transit and maintenance station for the Ming Dynasty's fleets in the Americas, but also the main training base of the Ming Dynasty Marine Corps. Its commander, Zhang Hong, has been stationed in Hawaii in the past two years.

However, this time, in order to safely send Gao Yingxiang and others to the Americas, and to prevent Spain from sending a fleet to the Americas after the end of the European and Austrian War, the Ming Dynasty also mobilized unprecedented strength in the navy.

The 5,000-ton Songjiang, the 3,000-ton Yingtian, and the Shuntian, and two supply ships, the 3,500-ton Xihu and Chaohu. Five ironclad ships were dispatched. In addition, there are

Twenty 1,500-ton sailing battleships and thirty sailing supply ships.

Such a huge force is not only a guard, but also a trainer: the navy does not just build the ships. It does not go to sea for training. If there is a war in the future, how will it fight?

The commander of this fleet is Major General Du Youning, who was born in Fangshan.

Listening to Zhang Hong's joking tone, Du Youning also chuckled: "Island Master Zhang, don't laugh at them. Didn't you also abandon the warm beaches of Hawaii and follow us here?"

"Hi! I just got tired of staying on the island and just followed you around. This time the court issued a strict order not to allow me, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, to participate in affairs in the Americas. I don't even dare to get off the ship."

"Before I came out, I communicated with the emperor who had already inspected Guangdong. The emperor said that our current strength is still insufficient, and it is a little early to directly seize the Americas. After all, compared to Spain and the Americas, there is only one

Compared with the Atlantic Ocean, the distance between us and the Americas is really too far."

"I understand, I understand. In short, if we can't get it now, we have to destroy it so that the Spaniards can't suck blood here. At least they can't suck blood happily, right?"

"Why do you say that? We are here to fight for independence and freedom for our compatriots who are yellow race and descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!"

"Bah! Du Youning, in front of old classmates, you are still singing a high profile with me."

"This is not high-profile, but political propaganda. MD came from Fang Shan, why are you so low-minded?"

After saying this, Du Youning ignored him, turned around and said softly: "Lieutenant Feng Guo, how far are we from the rebel port?"

The so-called Lieutenant of Fengguo was naturally Zhu Shengmiao. Although Tian Ergeng was investigated for violating foreign affairs disciplines, in fact, he did hold on to his identity and position, and did not let Ming Dynasty do it in terms of material exchanges.

At a disadvantage. In addition, he is single now and has no real wife. Although it is still illegal and contemptible in this Ming Dynasty for an unmarried man and woman to sleep together, at least in nature, it is much lighter than abandoning a useless wife.

.

In addition, he is the benchmark for clan transformation set up by Zhu Youdong, and he is currently the person most familiar with the situation in America. Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao personally admonished him, this time the Ming Navy made an unprecedented deployment and let him go.

The boat serves as a guide.

After hearing Du Youning's inquiry, Zhu Shengmiao took a sextant and made careful calculations. Then he said: "General, according to the agreement I made with the other party before returning from America last time, there are still six hours at most. Tomorrow morning

Before the sun rises, we can reach the port agreed upon by both parties."

"Okay." Du Youning nodded calmly, and walked towards the copper pipe that conveyed the order: "Attention of the whole fleet, attention of the whole fleet, each ship will have dinner in advance tonight. From now on, the meal will be completed within an hour. After that, it will enter the second level alert, and be prepared
Chapter completed!
