Chapter 005
"Remember to send ships back to report safety regularly. Don't be polite to your Uncle Mai. If you don't want anything, you should beat the sea and the river. It's guaranteed to work..." When his fleet completed the supply and the two fleets were about to part ways, Hong Tao gave another move to his daughter and son-in-law, which was a tough move. Now Matini has taken over the position of President of the Spring Alliance Security Council, replacing Hong Tao and Luo Meizhou, and fully in charge of the development of the entire alliance. Hong Tao has a lot of experience in dealing with this black fat man, and is willing to share it with his daughter and son-in-law.
"How many days will I get home?" Since I separated from Luo Meizhou's supply fleet, Wen Nan and Luo Youde have asked Hong Tao this question almost every day. Even when they are in a very seasick state, they both did not forget this question.
"Go to the deck to bask in the sun, eat more and drink more, look at the mast top, don't look at the sea, you won't be so dizzy. It's true that you are well-off. I'm the most annoying to serve the patients. If you two are always half dead, I'll prepare you for the water inlet ceremony." Without the drag of the supply fleet, the expeditionary fleet composed of Virginia-class warships has increased significantly. In addition, Hong Tao, who is familiar with the Pacific currents and the monsoon, travels nearly twice as much as before. But no matter how fast it is, it cannot exceed the average speed of ten knots, which is the limit of sailing long sailing. The sailors can't make the sailors desperately day and night, so when they arrive at the destination, they will be exhausted.
"I regret it a little now. Why not stay with America, Hong Yu and the others on Midway Island and build a big ship like the King of the Sea. When you straighten the Song Dynasty, I will take the big ship back. You don't have to suffer like this." Luo Youde has been busy all these years, with good physical fitness. In addition, he was also sleeping in the sea all day when he was young. The symptoms of seasickness were lighter than Wen Nan, and he was also physically quarreling with Hong Tao.
"I think beautifully. Can I keep you by my daughter's side and let her be angry with you, my father-in-law? You dream, I have never enjoyed my daughter's service, so don't think about it, unless I die!" If it weren't for the care of Wen Nan's body, Hong Tao would have ordered the fleet to start sea exercises, raise the speed to the highest, and he would have to turn around unstoppable, fainting this profiteer who is more handsome than him as he grows older, making him feel in a state of coughing.
"It's hard to say that even if the Song Dynasty is weak, it's not easy to run into the palace with you, a thousand people, to stew the emperor and the ministers in one pot. The current Song Dynasty navy is not the waste of the past. Why did it unknowingly enter the Qiantang River? Maybe you might really kill Lao Wen and me." Luo Youde felt that fighting with Hong Tao was distracting and distracting, and the symptoms of seasickness were a little lighter. Then continue, there were many topics and I couldn't finish talking all the way.
"Tsk... they dare to be called a navy master. Do you think I am going to use my life to make jokes when I get angry? You have worked with me for so many years and don't understand me at all. It really makes me feel heartbroken... "I'm idle and idle, Luo Youde's worries happen to be his most proud part. Hong Tao plans to educate this handsome guy well to let him know the difference between idols and powerful people.
"Then you have something to hide from us! Lao Wen, when he asks us for help, remember to keep a hand, and toss him again, it can be considered avenging the suffering along the way. Wen Xiaoqi is not a thing, and the design of this broken ship is called, it will never waver!" Luo Youde couldn't think of any good idea Hong Tao could have. This guy started to make arrangements several years in advance when he planned it, and no one had the brain to remember the details of everything in the years.
"Oh... Brother Hong is already very considerate, and the speed of the ship has not been mentioned to the highest. To be tormenting, your baby son is the most hateful. When he took me to the Lieute Islands for a meeting, the whole boat was jumping on the top of the waves. If I could get off the boat alive, it was already the ancestors who accumulated virtue." Wen Nan, after hearing Hong Tao's words, lay on the recliner and looked at the sky, not looking at the sea, and the feeling of seasickness seemed to have really relieved. At this time, he would definitely not be able to talk bad things about Hong Tao with Luo Youde, and he had to help Hong Tao fight back against Luo Youde.
"...America did this after listening to his orders! I said that you two want to join forces to bully me, right? Let's not talk about this, and continue to talk about the fact that he took us to die. Lao Wen, you have been to Lin'an many times. Unconsciously, you have taken so many warships into the Qiantang River to raid the imperial city. Do you think it is feasible?" Luo Youde could see that he was in an isolated position now, and Wen Nan's corrupt bones have been rebellious. So he can no longer attack Hong Tao, as he would not be able to take advantage of himself, so the reason is more appropriate.
"Actually, we are not the people most familiar with Lin'an and Qiantang River..." Wen Nan bluntly behind Luo Youde.
"Who? He! How many times have he been to Lin'an in total? Can he slap more than a slap?" Luo Youde did not look back. He knew that Hong Tao was standing behind him, and he was very disdainful.
"It's not him, it's the one next to him..." Wen Nan thought of getting up and pointing to Luo Youde, but as soon as he raised half of his body, he saw the sea again. His stomach immediately began to churn. He didn't even say the second half of his words, so he quickly lay back and continued to look up at the sky with his face raised.
"Who is next to him? There is no one next to him, they are all sailors..." Luo Youde turned around and looked at it seriously, but still couldn't understand Wen Nan's meaning.
"Lao Wen, you can't hint to stupid people, you have to make it clear. Come on, Captain Wu, introduce yourself and your brothers to this stupid person, so that he will not always think that I took him back to be cannon fodder." Hong Tao has been trolling a string of whale meat on the side of the ship with a cable. He planned to get a bluefin tuna to satisfy his mouth, but his ears were not idle. When he heard that there was a chance to defame people, he immediately interrupted.
"I've seen the Luo Shen Envoy..." The captain on Hong Tao's flagship was Wu Yong, the military leader of the Song Dynasty Navy. He had already brought all his remaining brothers from Kalamba Port to Sun City, and had been training on Virginia-class warships as Hong Tao told him.
When they returned to the Song Dynasty, they went home. None of them opposed him and all agreed with each other. As for the incident of going back to attack Lin'an City, they were not very clear before they got on the boat, and now they knew it, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In their eyes, whether Hong Tao was the emperor or the Zhao family was the emperor, the Song Dynasty was their hometown. Relatively speaking, they were more willing to let the former manage the country.
"Don't let the gods go, what's the god-like thing on me? Let's call me Boss Luo, it sounds kind. Since we are going back to the Song Dynasty, we will follow the rules of the Song Dynasty." Luo Youde didn't know Captain Wu, and after watching for a long time, he didn't remember who he was. But as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he knew that the captain was from the Song Dynasty or from the Song Dynasty in Jiangnan, and was very kind.
"I am a rough man and have never been to school seriously. My brothers and I were originally sailors on the ship of the Song Dynasty Navy, so we were stationed in Mingzhou. At the end of 1942, we followed the court's merchant fleet to Kalamba Port, but we accidentally entered the equatorial windless belt. His Majesty brought the ship to save us. Later, these brothers and I surrendered to the Jinhe Empire." Wu Yong clasped his fists with his hands and bowed to Luo Youde according to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, and then he introduced his origin. In order to make his words more convincing, Wu Yong stretched his neck hard to reveal the tattoo. This is the identity proof of the Jinhe Empire.
"Oh... I remembered it, that's the case! Can you tell me how the person who was fishing planned to take us into the Qiantang River? Since he took you back specifically, he must have something to do, right?" Luo Youde slapped his forehead, and he also remembered that this was indeed the case. Moreover, this incident shocked the Song Dynasty and the periphery at that time, but I didn't hear that the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty Navy surrendered to the Jinhe Empire. It seems that Hong Tao had already started to make arrangements, but it was actually more than ten years ago. This was too shocking!
"Well..." Wu Yong really didn't dare to say anything. This was the secret in the secret. Apart from Hong Tao, he was probably the only one who knew it.
"Tell Boss Luo, otherwise he will not be able to sleep, and he will complain to his son when he is sick, saying that I torture him mentally." Hong Tao could hear the conversation between the people behind him, but he still didn't look back. There seemed to be movement on the cable. Bluefin tuna is more important than any tactics and strategies at this time. As for whether it is a secret or not, it doesn't matter as long as you board this fleet. You have to follow yourself if you know it, and you have to rush even if you don't know it, and there is no chance to leak the secret.
"Boss Luo also often goes to Mingzhou and Lin'an. You should know Jiang Chao, right?" After getting Hong Tao's permission, Wu Yong began to explain to Luo Youde the details of the sneak attack plan set by Hong Tao.
"River tide! Mid-Autumn Festival river tide? I know, I caught up with it twice. I still remember that scene. If I had divine power, I think the river tide is a miracle. I wouldn't use a lighter to deceive people everywhere." Luo Youde still didn't understand. He knew that every year the Qiantang River was flooding in sea water, and no one nearby didn't know it. But what does this have to do with sneak attacks on Lin'an? To say sneak attacks, we should avoid Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, many people nearby came to see the tide, so it's easier to be discovered.
"Boss Luo, you are right. August 18th is the birthday of the Jiangshen, and that day the tide is the biggest. Every year on August 16th, the ships in the river have to go to the Fuchun River upstream to take refuge, and will return one after August 18th. The navy ships in the court are just the opposite. On this day, the official family sacrificed the tide god to check the navy on the river. In order to see the scene, all naval warships had to sail out of the river and enter the water camp outside the river estuary to stop. At this time, the river surface was empty, and there were not too many patrol ships at the mouth of the river." Wu Yong went deeper and explained the other impacts of the river tide on Lin'an City. If these details were not natives and had served in the Song Dynasty Navy, basically no one would pay attention to them. Who would watch the river tide and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and still pay attention to these inconspicuous things, unless they were Cixi's intelligence officers.
