The next day, His Royal Highness the King of Yan's ship arrived at the Xisha Pier where the Japanese general's office was located.
Jinghai Marquis Wu Zhen, his nephew, and the main generals under his command were waiting at the dock early in the morning.
Seeing that there was only a lucky boat following His Highness's boat. Wu Zhen let go of his worries and put on his most sincere smile to welcome the arrival of King Yan.
Zhu Di was dressed in military uniform and walked out of the boat at full speed. Xu finally proved his fertility, and the low self-esteem and lack of confidence that had haunted him for a long time disappeared.
His Royal Highness, King Yan, who has the aura of the protagonist and the aura of domineering king, is back as the king again!
"Meet Your Highness! Welcome Your Highness!" Wu Zhen led the generals to bow down.
Zhu Di stood there holding the hilt of his sword, looked at the back of their heads for a while, and then said in a deep voice:
"According to the order of the crown prince, I came here to inspect the armaments on behalf of my eldest brother, and rewarded the Japanese navy. It is a courtesy."
"I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness." After Wu Zhen and others thanked him again, Zhu Di laughed and helped him up and said:
"Hahaha, Marquis Jinghai, you are fine."
"Hehehe, Your Highness is here in person, it's so radiant!" Wu Zhen said with a smile on his face.
When it was Wu Gao and Wu Zhong's turn to meet, the scene became more intimate. The fourth child gave the two of them a bear hug and said with surprise on his face: "So you two are hiding here, no wonder I can't see you when I return to Beijing."
"Oh, I can't help it. Who made me a navy master?" The two brothers were so flattered that their bones became lighter.
"How about His Highness transfer us to Yanshan Guard, so that we can stay together forever." Wu Zhong said with a smile.
"Of course I don't want it, but I have to ask your father if he is willing?" Zhu Di also joked casually.
"That's a good relationship, it will save these two bastards from making my liver hurt all day long." Wu Zhen laughed and turned sideways and said: "Your Highness, please."
"Please, Marquis Jinghai." King Yan said, then he walked with head high, stepping on the loess paving the way, and walked towards the Biwa navy who was waiting for review.
~~
At the same time, King Chu and his ten warships also sailed to the waters off Hangzhou Bay, two hundred miles southeast of Chongming Island.
In the telescope, a green island appeared.
"Your Highness, that is the Flower and Bird Island." Yu Tongyuan pointed to the small island and introduced to Lao Liu: "It is the northernmost island of the Zhoushan Islands, and the connection point is in the sea to the north of it."
"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded and said to Yu Tongyuan in a deep voice: "The sea channel in Zhoushan is dangerous, we should control it in our hands."
"This side of Zhoushan is the defense area of the Ningbo Guard." Yu Tongyuan thought about it and said, "The commander of the Ningbo Guard, Lin Xian, seems to have great supernatural powers."
"Well, he is Hu Weiyong's man." Zhu Zhen said: "If he can get involved this time, it will save us trouble."
"That's disgusting." Yu Tongyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. His Highness has a big appetite. Not only did he want to eat the pirates in one bite, but he also had the idea of Ningbo Wei. "You still have to eat the food one bite at a time."
"Okay." Zhu Zhen said with some dissatisfaction: "At least, those two pirates will come together, right?"
"It should be possible." Yu Tongyuan said with a bitter smile: "After all, His Highness laid such a heavy bait, a total of one million taels of gold! How can they rest assured that they will only let the other party come?"
"Damn it, those big families in Suzhou are really rich." Liao Dingguo clicked his tongue: "Just like a cow, you can't squeeze it all out no matter how hard you squeeze it."
"This time they also made them vomit blood." Luo Guanzhong adjusted his glasses and said: "If it hadn't been for the list His Highness launched to go crazy, they would never have exposed their entire family fortune."
"Teacher Luo thinks they have bottomed out? No, they have bottomed out." King Chu smiled lightly and said, "You still lack a real sense of the disparity between rich and poor in this world."
"Is this what His Highness said, that social wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people?" Luo Guanzhong couldn't help but sighed: "It's so unfair."
"Therefore, my mission is to make up for the excess losses and make up for the deficiencies." Zhu Zhen rarely said seriously: "Don't always blame me for being a wealthy gentleman. I am doing justice for heaven."
"My subordinates now understand His Highness's painstaking efforts." Luo Guanzhong sighed and whispered: "It's just that Your Highness, the royal family and the gentry have always shared the world. Your father and son always working against the gentry like this is not the way to long-term peace and stability."
"This is a question that my master is worried about. He will help me figure out the answer." Zhu Zhen said with an indifferent expression: "Anyway, I just want to do what I want."
"Alas..." Luo Guanzhong shook his head and sighed. For some reason, he really didn't want to see this kid end in a dismal ending.
‘Hmm. That will give me the reputation of being a nuisance to the Lord...’ Robben said in his heart.
Thinking of the 'Zhuzhu', he suddenly had an inspiration, why not add such a character to his book...
While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard the lookout on the mast shout: "Hai Wei, a large number of warships have been discovered!"
Immediately afterwards, the lookout on the other mast also shouted loudly: "Ugly position, a large number of ships have been discovered!"
The sharp copper whistle sounded, and the atmosphere on each ship instantly became tense. The soldiers quickly took their positions and began to prepare for battle.
Liao Dingguo personally climbed the mast to confirm the details of the enemy ship.
When he came down the mast, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Here they come, they are all here! Twelve Guangzhou ships with two thousand materials, twelve blessing ships with two thousand materials, and countless small boats. It seems that both families are here."
The entire army is mobilized!"
"It seems that they don't trust anyone." Yu Tongyuan also laughed and said: "Always be prepared for a fight."
"How about we wait until their fight is over before we take action?" At this time, Lao Liu laughed and saw everyone's mouths twitching, so he laughed and said:
"Haha, I'm joking. If they don't get along, and just take the gold and leave, won't we just stare at each other?"
"Haha, yes." He was left to speak the pros and cons, and Yu Tongyuan and the other two could only laugh awkwardly.
"My subordinates are going to another ship." Liao Dingguo said seriously: "Your Highness, please come into the cabin as well. As we agreed, you are not allowed to appear on the deck during the battle."
"Yes, please come in, Your Highness." Yu Tongyuan glanced at Hu Xian, and his eldest cousin nodded. He had the same idea.
"Oh, you people..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was helplessly carried into the cabin by his eldest cousin.
~~
At the same time, two groups of pirates also discovered them. They pulled up anchors and sails, and headed towards the commercial fleet.
On a large ship headed by Chen Shanghai, the leader of Chen's pirates, the youngest son of Chen Youding, also held a telescope that had flowed from the Ming army.
However, there is only one telescope in the entire fleet. It is a symbol of his identity and is never touched by others.
"How's it going? Boss, how many ships have they come?" Seeing him put down his telescope, he asked hurriedly.
"There really are ten ships." Chen Shanghai said solemnly: "Two ships have four thousand materials, and eight ships have two thousand materials."
"Isn't this the inventory of Longjiang Bao Shipyard?" His military advisor, 'White Fan', shook his paper fan gently and said, "That His Highness is really a good person."
"It's useless, our family can eat them!" The leader did not take the ten ships seriously. Their Guangzhou ship had a great advantage over the Fu ship, not to mention the superior force.
"Idiot, do you want our family to take the blame?" the military advisor sneered.
"That's right, we must all work together, no one can stay out of it!" Chen Shanghai looked at the city fleet getting closer and closer, and nodded heavily.
