The army went out to fight, but not a blade of grass grew.
Thirty-three warships with long sails. Although they cannot cover the sky, they are a force that can destroy a country. All 20,000 naval officers are fully armed and carry revolvers.
.This is an army equipped with pure firearms, with two thousand artillery pieces alone.
Han Du commanded the fleet, accompanied by Huai'an Hou Huazhong, Li Zengzhi, Zhang Chao, Jiang Ming and others.
Huazhong was implicated because of the poisoning of Li Wenzhong. Although Li Wenzhong's death had little to do with him, it was Lao Zhu who ordered him to take care of Li Wenzhong after all. Now that Li Wenzhong is dead, no matter how he died
The first person responsible could never escape the blame. In order to make meritorious service and take revenge, Hua Zhong took the initiative to ask for help and came with him.
The reason why Li Zengzhi came here was entirely to avenge his father. The revenge for killing his father was irreconcilable. Li Wenzhong had three sons, namely the future "God of War of the Ming Dynasty" Li Jinglong, Li Zengzhi and his youngest son. But Li Jinglong was the eldest son and could not be killed again.
It was easy to take risks, and his younger brother was too young, so Li Zengzhi happened to step forward. Firstly, he was on this trip to avenge his father, and secondly, he could learn something by staying with Han Du.
The fleet did not take the old route of Yaezhan Island, but went straight to Qiongzhou. After passing Qiongzhou, it went straight to Champa.
Just as the fleet was rushing to Champa, Wangdou made a discovery.
"Report!"
"Speak." Han Du stood at the bow of the ship and ordered without looking back.
"Uncle, we have spotted a ship ahead." The messenger waved his hand and pointed to the right, which was the direction Han Du and others were approaching the land.
Han Du raised his telescope and looked at it. It turned out that it was not a ship, but a small fleet. How could there be a fleet near Qiongzhou? Although Lao Zhu had issued an order to open the sea last year, there were only a few people there.
It's just a matter of building a few small sampans to fish on the beach. It's impossible for ordinary people to build a fleet.
Could it be the work of private capital?
This is really not impossible. Even though the Ming Dynasty has only been a country for more than ten years, even the imperial court is still very poor due to years of war. But under Lao Zhu’s policy of hiding wealth from the people, the wealth of the people is increasing every year.
The rapid accumulation of more than ten years is enough for a former small businessman to transform into a wealthy businessman.
However, after Lao Zhu issued the decree to open the sea, he did not set up a shipping department to collect trade taxes.
Han Du looked at the fleet in the telescope and sneered. These businessmen are really as sharp as dogs. Lao Zhu has only been on the sea for a year, and they have smelled the huge profits in sea trade and want to take advantage of this empty window.
Make a lot of money every time.
After I cleaned up the Japanese pirates, I asked you to take advantage of me. Where in the world can anything be so cheap?
"Send the order! Chase after him."
With a wave of Han Du's hand, all the warships changed direction and flew towards the fleet.
After giving the order, Han Du patted Hua Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Master Marquis, go change your clothes if it's convenient."
Although Hua Zhong was the Marquis of Huai'an, his title was higher than that of Han Du. But he knew that Han Du's status in the heart of the emperor was not comparable to that of the second generation marquis who took advantage of his father's marquis. Therefore, he paid great attention to Han Du along the way.
The status is lowered, commensurate with Han Du's equality, not dignified at all.
Mr. Hou’s airs.
Although Hua Zhong was curious as to why Han Du wanted to change his clothes, he saw that Han Du was planning to change, so he did not refuse.
The warships were towering, and all of a sudden thirty-three of them surrounded the small fleet, like an elephant staring at a little mouse in front of them.
At this time, Han Du jumped on the bow of the ship in a black outfit, with one eye covered by a black goggle. He waved the long knife in his hand and shouted: "This is Jack, the King of Pirates. Stop the ship in front of me.
If you surrender, you will be inspected, and if you hold your head, you will not be killed. If you dare to resist, you will be shot to death!"
The fleet had long since discovered that they were being chased by a large group of large ships that looked like dark clouds. They tried desperately to escape. However, with their speed being less than half that of the warships, there was no hope of escaping and they could only watch helplessly.
Watch the big ship approaching.
Who would have thought that just after the big ship approached, such a person would jump out.
What did he just say? Pirates? Robbers of the sea? This name is really vivid.
How can such a huge fleet be a robber? If any robber has such strength, I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty will have to look at his face, right? Fu Yong bets that if he is a robber like this, he will eat the ship under his feet.
"Master, I'm afraid these people are here with bad intentions. What should we do?"
The person who spoke was the nephew of one of Fu Yong's cousins. In the Ming Dynasty, almost all businessmen liked to use people from their own clan. Because the clan has a clan system, this clan law can be said to have stronger constraints on clan members than the national laws of the Ming Dynasty in many cases. Therefore,
It is naturally very easy for people of the same clan to use it, and there is no need to worry about them having second thoughts.
Because, after all, their wives, children, and children all stay in the clan, and even if they have any ideas, they have to worry about how their family members can gain a foothold in the clan.
Fu Yong glanced at him indifferently, only feeling that what this nephew said was nonsense. Didn't you hear that they asked us to arrest him without mercy? How can there be any goodwill in this?
Hua Zhong and Han Du were dressed in the same attire. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable with the clothes, but he felt very comfortable wearing them. Although Hua Zhong earned his title, his martial arts skills were as good as those he practiced in winter and summer.
It’s practiced bit by bit.
Huazhong was originally a fierce general in the army who followed his father in the war, but after inheriting the title, he knew that the foundation of the title of Marquis of Huai'an was too shallow, so he had to work hard everywhere under the name of Marquis of Huai'an.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu saw it and remembered the contribution that Huazhong's father had made before, so he asked him to serve the sick Li Wenzhong. I just hope that through this matter, Huazhong can show his face in front of Li Wenzhong, and it will be better in the future.
Take care of Hwa Chong One and Two.
As a result, I did not expect that Huazhong would be so unlucky. Even though Li Wenzhong had recovered from his illness, he would be poisoned. As a result, not only was everything he had done ruined, but he was also almost implicated.
Hua Zhong buckled his blindfold, and felt that Han Du looked more murderous after wearing this thing, and he should be good too. From this moment on, Hua Zhong fell in love with the blindfold.
The warships quickly surrounded the fleet. There was no need to open the gun bay door and expose the cannons to scare people. The people on the fleet held their heads in their hands and squatted on the deck, not daring to resist at all.
How could they dare to resist when there were more men and horses on a large ship than all of them put together? When the army went out, not even a blade of grass grew.
