The semaphore is a code word. Zeng Yi doesn’t know what it means. When he left Xixia, the general of the Xixia Yipintang taught him it. He said that when encountering an island country’s warship, it would be safe to give this code signal. Now he has encountered an island country.
Zeng Yi immediately ordered the battleship to display a semaphore.
After discovering the Jiaolong, several patrol ships from the island nation immediately prepared themselves for battle. All the weapons on board were aimed at the Jiaolong. Although their patrol ships were definitely unable to defeat the Jiaolong, they still responded with a desperate fight. Fortunately, Zeng Yi immediately responded.
The flag bearer was ordered to give a secret signal, and then several warships from the island nation put away their weapons.
The two sides soon met together. The captain of the island country's fleet stood on the bow, looked at the Jiaolong with some envy, and said: "Welcome friends to the island country!"
Zeng Yi also stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the second-level warships of the island country with some disdain, "Thank you! I'm the Xixia envoy."
"I wonder what happened to the Xixia envoys?" This patrol fleet is obviously not qualified to know those things, and Zeng Yi certainly didn't bother to tell them, "Take me to see your city lord, he already knows our purpose!
"
Upon hearing this, the man stopped asking and immediately turned around and rushed to the port with the Jiaolong. The people at the port also knew that someone was coming. After the Jiaolong docked, several people in gorgeous kimonos came.
Arrived at the port.
"The messenger has had a hard journey!"
"Is this the city lord? I think the city lord already knows our intention."
The man nodded: "I have received the order, but time is tight and the equipment mobilized is limited."
Equipment is limited! Zeng Yi frowned and asked, "How much equipment can we have?"
"I mobilized part of our army's reserve equipment, but I only managed to get enough equipment to arm about 20,000 people."
"Twenty thousand! What about the armor and bows and arrows?" The equipment of twenty thousand people is completely sufficient for the White Lotus Sect at this stage. As long as he has armor and bows and arrows, Zeng Yi can leave tonight.
"There are eight thousand leather armors, two thousand armors, five thousand bows and arrows, and ten bases for arrows."
"That's enough, let's ship it!"
When the man heard what Zeng Yi said, he said enough, and a smile appeared on his face, "Envoy, please take a rest first, I will order people to load the ship!" Loading the ship will take some time, so Zeng Yi followed the city lord.
into this small town.
Zeng Yi acted very friendly and chatted a lot with the city lord. He mainly asked about the current situation in the island country. Since Oda Nobunaga's right-hand man Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled in Kyoto's Honnōji Temple and killed him,
Master Nobunaga. After Akechi Mitsuhide was killed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the island country was basically dominated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's family. This ensured the safety of the treasures in Azuchi Castle. Without the war, no one would find those treasures.
After confirming that there were indeed reports of treasures being discovered in this island country every day, Zeng Yi felt relieved. In less than an hour, all the equipment was loaded onto the ship. There was a lot of stuff, and it filled three ships. At this time, the sky was also dark.
It gradually became dark.
Zeng Yi did not board the ship and leave directly. The Yuan navy was not a vegetarian. With the current speed of the fully loaded Jiaolong, once discovered, it would be impossible to escape. If he wanted the Jiaolong to safely enter the waters of the Central Plains Dynasty, Zeng Yi must think
A way to attract the attention of the Central Plains navy.
At night, the city lord of the small town hosted a banquet for Zeng Yi. After three drinks, Zeng Yi looked at the city lord and said, "Your Excellency, city lord! I wonder how many warships you can mobilize?"
"What do you mean by messenger?" The city lord looked at Zeng Yida with some doubts.
Zeng Yi said: "Let me make it clear. You should know that this batch of equipment is to support the White Lotus Sect in the Central Plains. However, it is very difficult to break through the powerful naval blockade and enter the Central Plains waters.
, so it is necessary to attract the attention of the Central Plains Navy. I would like to ask you to mobilize some warships and carry out some actions in the border areas of the seas between the two sides to attract the attention of the Central Plains Navy."
"This, this, I can only mobilize a few second-level battleships. This level of strength cannot attract the attention of the navy at all."
Hearing the words of the city lord, Zeng Yi frowned, "I wonder if you can think of a way? You must know that this batch of weapons is very important to the White Lotus Sect. As long as these weapons are obtained, the White Lotus Sect can develop and disrupt the Central Plains.
The situation will then be an opportunity for our alliance!"
The city lord was silent for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll contact General Toyotomi overnight."
"Okay, I'll wait for good news tomorrow!"
The next day, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent back the news that in the afternoon, a huge fleet would conduct a large-scale naval exercise at the maritime border between the two countries.
As soon as he heard the news, Zeng Yi knew that it was done. After the performance started in the afternoon, he returned to the Jiaolong. After observing the route, Zeng Yi ordered to weigh anchor and set off. This job was equivalent to smuggling arms. It was necessary.
Proceed with caution. If the Central Plains Navy discovers the smuggling of arms, they will probably send a fleet directly to surround and intercept the Jiaolong.
The sea was very calm, and three fully loaded warships were slowly sailing on the sea. The three warships made a large circle in order to avoid the acting area. For such a large-scale acting in an island country, you don’t need to think about it. The Central Plains
The navy must have gathered on a large scale, and the area where the show is being performed must be filled with warships.
The fully loaded warships were much slower than usual. It was not until the sky darkened that they entered the Central Plains waters. After entering the Central Plains waters, the three warships became more careful. Even Zeng Yi climbed the mountain in person to disobey.
He flirted with me, and he was afraid that the Central Plains navy would discover him.
Fortunately, Zeng Yi's strategy worked. The Central Plains Navy's attention was drawn to the island country's naval performance area. Zeng Yi's route did not find the Central Plains Navy, Jiaolong and other three warships, and finally arrived safely.
That's where the Famous Guild is based.
Jiaolong came back to the Yangming Guild in the middle of the night with a bunch of weapons and equipment, shocking the players there. Later, even Yangming, who had been offline to rest, was called up by the guild players.
Yang Ming looked at the equipment of three ships, and looked at Zeng Yi with a look of resentment: "Is this what you said about not making money? Are you just deceiving your good friend like this about the equipment of three ships?"
"Mard, open your eyes and take a look. These are mission items. I just accepted a mission to smuggle a batch of weapons and equipment. This is a big risk. Are you sure you want to follow me?"
Is this a mission that could be destroyed by the navy at any time?"
