"Okay." Yuan Pengnian immediately went over and whispered.
"Ah?" Du Youzhan's expression suddenly changed after hearing this.
"What?" Yuan Pengnian said coldly, "Brother Du is afraid?"
After a pause, Yuan Pengnian said again: "Brother Du, have you forgotten who caused the death of your family?"
When Yuan Pengnian talked about the destruction of his family and his family, Du Youyi's eyes suddenly showed deep hatred.
"That's all." Du Youzhi raised his neck and drank the soju in the cup, and said, "In that case, my life will be returned to Brother Yuan, so what, but my mother and young son still hope that Brother Yuan can take care of me."
"If things fail, nothing will be mentioned. If things succeed, your mother will be my mother, and your son will be my son."
After saying this, Yuan Pengnian added: "But don't worry, Brother Du, I won't let you do this alone. I will find some helpers for you."
"This is unnecessary."
Du Youyi refused: "The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better."
"That's fine." Yuan Pengnian poured a glass of wine for himself and Du Youyi each, then raised the glass and said, "Brother Du, this glass of wine can be regarded as my little brother giving you strength."
Du Youyi took the glass and drank it in one gulp, then turned around and walked away.
Watching Du Youyi's figure disappear on the Gongyuan Street outside the door, Yuan Pengnian murmured: "This Ming Dynasty will ultimately have to rely on me, Yuan Pengnian, a small seventh-rank man, to support me in this matter.
Whether it succeeds or not, my name, Yuan Pengnian, will definitely leave a mark in the history books."
…
A few days later, outside the Yangzhou Canal Pier.
A late fishing boat was slowly coming from the canal.
There is a father and son on the boat. The father, who is already old, is steering the boat at the stern, while the son is rocking the oar in the middle of the boat. The fishing boat is slowly moving forward amidst the friction between the wooden oar and the wooden frame.
The son inadvertently turned his head to look at the pier on the left.
I saw a slippery bird boat moored on the canal pier.
A huge curtain was built with white curtains on the deck of the bird ship in the middle.
Countless candles were lit inside the white curtain, illuminating the whole curtain as brightly as day. There were also graceful shadows reflected on the white curtain, which seemed to be dancing.
There were also songs of silk, bamboo and sheng carried by the night wind.
Both the father and son on the small fishing boat could hear it very clearly.
"Bah, what kind of holy king." The son said angrily, "How many days have you been here? I invite so many famous prostitutes from brothels to sleep with me every night. How can this body handle it?"
The words revealed more of jealousy.
Why do so many beauties from brothels sleep alone with the dog emperor?
Why can't I get a wife even though I get up early and stay in the dark?
"Agou, you are very free, aren't you?" The old father immediately shouted in a low voice.
"If you have time, go down to the river and catch some fish for me."
"Dad, it's dark today, why are you fishing?" the son said angrily.
"You also know that it's getting dark?" said the old father, "Why don't you row the oar quickly and go home quickly!"
The son didn't dare to say anything anymore, and he shook the wooden oar with a bang, and the speed of the fishing boat really accelerated a lot.
While the old father was steering the rudder, he also looked at the brightly lit curtain in the distance, and then let out a long sigh. How many days have you been a wise king?
Will he become a dissolute and immoral king again?
The lost old father did not notice that several watercrafts passed by the right side of the fishing boat.
The son who was rowing the oar discovered that these canal boats were all loaded with cargo, and the cargoes were even covered with linoleum cloth. The strange thing was that the draft of these canal boats was very shallow.
My son even vaguely smelled the smell of fire and saltpeter.
A quarter of an hour later, the father and son steered the small fishing boat away from the Yangzhou Canal Pier.
The naval warships, the brightly lit curtains and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo slowly faded away and gradually became inaudible.
Just as the father and son returned their thoughts to their fishing boat and slowly rushed home, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded from the direction of the canal pier behind them.
Then there were shouts one after another.
"It's gone! It's gone! Someone, it's gone!"
"The officers and soldiers across the way, please lend us some water dragons to save us!"
From a distance, the father and son could vaguely see that fires had broken out on several tankers, and the fires spread very quickly and soon affected the entire ship.
The old father sighed and said: "This fire can't be saved."
"This fire must be hopeless." The son nodded and said, "Because there is a lot of fire and saltpeter on the boat."
"The boats are loaded with fire and saltpeter?" After hearing this, the old father couldn't help but change his face. Could it be that these water boats were heading towards the royal ship of the Holy Emperor?
"Dad, do they want to..." The son also reacted.
"Shh!" The old father quickly signaled his son to be silent, and then whispered, "Let's go home quickly!"
The son yelled and shook the wooden oar with all his strength. The fishing boat, which had been slow and leisurely, suddenly accelerated and shot towards the river ahead like an arrow from the string.
The old father looked back and saw that the burning cannons suddenly accelerated and shot towards the warship anchored in the center of the pier like arrows.
It was a naval warship with a curtain on the deck.
The next moment, the naval officers and soldiers on each warship exploded, shouting and screaming.
"It's a thief! There is a thief who wants to assassinate the Holy Emperor! Protect him quickly! Stop the team and don't let the fire ship get close!"
"Fuck the gunner! Where did the gunner die? Push the damn Hongyi cannon over here, Hongyi cannon, push the Hongyi cannon over here!"
"Musketeers, Musketeers in formation!"
"A thief jumped into the canal, be careful of someone digging the boat under the water!"
The navy officers and soldiers shouted loudly, but it was too late, because the fireships were too close and too fast, and they quickly rushed into the canal dock.
But fortunately, the response of the navy officers and soldiers was not slow.
Before the fire ships could approach the central ship, a dozen navy bird ships had already lined up and blocked the middle ship between the central ship and the fire ship.
Soon enough, the fire ship collided with the navy bird ship.
The navy officer on the ship originally thought it was just a fire attack, but it turned out to be more than just a fire attack.
Almost at the same moment when the fire ship collided with the sailing bird ship, a dazzling light suddenly burst out between the sky and the earth. This dazzling light even illuminated the night sky for more than ten miles in radius.
Even the father and son who had walked far away subconsciously looked back.
I saw that the entire canal dock had become incandescent, and the light was so bright that it was impossible to look directly.
But soon, this dazzling light dimmed, and then dark red flames rose up, wrapping up layer by layer, and rose into the dark night sky above the canal pier.
Seeing this huge mushroom cloud rising in the night sky, the father and son were stunned.
How much saltpeter and gunpowder did it take to achieve such a momentum? How much hatred?
The son swallowed his saliva and wanted to say a few words to the old man, but the old father stopped him and said, "Quickly shake your oar."
Going back to the canal dock, countless kilograms of gunpowder placed on several fire ships detonated at the same time, producing a dazzling light and a huge explosion sound, as well as a huge shock wave that was as real as a substance.
Wherever the shock wave passed, the first few bird ships were torn apart like pieces of paper.
The naval bird ship that was a little further away also tilted violently to one side, the hull tilted violently, and the naval officers, soldiers and various equipment on the ship also fell into the water one after another.
In this single blow, the navy officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Before the navy officers and soldiers could recover, a sudden change occurred.
I saw more than ten flying claws suddenly thrown out from the water around the royal ship with curtains on the deck.
Amidst the muffled sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk", more than a dozen flying claws have grabbed hold of the battlements on both sides of the warship, and then a dozen figures in black swimsuits jumped up from the water of the canal and followed it.
The zipline swished upwards.
"There are thieves seizing the ship! Knife players! Knife players line up!" The navy officers and soldiers on the ship shouted.
The two teams of knife players quickly came to the side and tried to cut off the flying rope with their waist knives. However, before the waist knives could fall, a dozen thieves who were climbing up on the flying rope raised their right hands.
I saw that these black figures were holding short crossbows in their hands.
With the development of firearms, the Ming army has completely eliminated crossbows, whether large crossbows, short crossbows or bed crossbows. Only some pirates and water bandits still use short crossbows.
In hand-to-hand combat, short crossbows are still very useful.
Several naval officers and soldiers who were wielding swords and cutting ropes were shot over in an instant.
The remaining navy officers and soldiers quickly retracted and raised the wooden sign.
The spearmen also quickly formed a spear formation behind the swordsmen, waiting for the thieves to board the ship.
The thieves quickly climbed up the second deck of the bird ship along the zip line, but before they landed, rows of spears were poking at them like poisonous snakes. The thieves had nowhere to hide, and they were stabbed into a sieve one after another and fell into the water.
But soon a second group of thieves climbed up the zipline and tried to seize the ship.
At this time, several bird boats that had survived the big explosion also came close to them. The navy officers and soldiers on the boats aimed their muskets at the thieves and fired them loudly.
Under the attack of several surrounding bird boats, the thieves were never able to climb onto the central boat.
Finally, the leader of the thieves whistled, and the remaining dozens of thieves plunged into the river and disappeared.
The leading naval general immediately shouted: "You thief! Release the sampan! Chase them all, don't let a single thief go! Catch all these thieves for me..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another loud bang.
And this time, the loud noise came from the royal ship in the center.
With this loud noise, the entire imperial ship suddenly shattered.
The curtains built on the second deck were also blown to pieces, and many graceful figures could be vaguely seen being thrown out of the curtains and falling into the river with a plop.
Taking advantage of the melee just now, the thieves brought in gunpowder from underwater.
Seeing the imperial ship slowly sinking into the water after being blown to pieces, the navy officers and soldiers were completely stunned.
