After sleeping peacefully all night, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes until Duan Tianming walked into the room and called him to have dinner.
After running for thousands of miles, Xiao Chen was already exhausted.
Originally, I planned to start exterminating Japanese pirates as soon as I arrived at Songmon Guards.
But after finding out yesterday that the Songmen Guards were just a piece of loose sand, Xiao Chen was instantly discouraged.
To find traces of Japanese pirates, you have to do it step by step. It is impossible to get useful information from the local police station.
"You can really sleep, and you haven't even gotten up yet. Breakfast in the kitchen has been prepared." Duan Tianming stood at the door and rubbed his eyes.
"Looking at your appearance, you must have just woken up, and you came over and started blaming me?" Xiao Chen got up in a hurry.
In the dining hall, all the captains have arrived.
Those who came early took their rice bowls and began to eat in big gulps.
This morning's meal was hearty porridge with cold kelp shreds.
Each person can also receive three white flour steamed buns.
"This Song guard really takes us seriously, and the portion he made for breakfast is really big." After taking a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, Xiao Chen stretched his chopsticks towards the kelp shreds on the table.
"Our food is good. I just went to see the army horses. The horses' fodder is also very good. There are more fine ingredients mixed in it than we do in the capital." Duan Tianming drank the porridge while drinking porridge.
road.
"What does this mean? It means that Commander Songmen Guard is still very sincere towards us. Maybe for him, we are his life-saving straw." Xiao Chen said.
"What do you mean, not only has he been sidelined, but the Japanese pirates are raging. If he can't catch the Japanese pirates and continues to lose soldiers, the commander's position may not be guaranteed?" Duan Tianming looked up and reacted instantly.
Xiao Chen stopped eating the steamed buns: "Is it because he is an 'outsider' who was transferred from the Haimen Guard, or is it because Zhejiang Dusi has a 'bigger' idea?"
Duan Tianming's answer made Xiao Chen want to go in a worse direction.
"A bigger idea? Is it possible that the Zhejiang Dusi dared to release a large number of Japanese pirates from Songmen Guard's defense area into the Ming Dynasty area?"
"It's hard to say." Xiao Chen took another bite of the steamed bun, "Zhao Wuming, the governor of Zhejiang, might really want to be a traitor and use the power of Japanese pirates to deal with the imperial court and achieve his own goals."
"Then kill him." Duan Tianming stared, as if the bun in his hand was Zhao Wuming, and took a hard bite.
"Let's look for evidence first. There is evidence. Take down all the people involved." Xiao Chen said.
It is also breakfast time at Longmen Qianhu Office.
In Qianhu Baisang's room, breakfast has been placed on the table.
A plate of fried hairtail and a plate of boiled Hainan.
There was also a plate with two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.
As the number one person in Longmen Institute, Bai Sang had never been to the dining hall.
As for what his soldiers ate, he never cared.
As long as they don't starve to death, they can eat whatever the kitchen wants to give them. There is no need to worry about the food when the deputy Qianhu is in charge.
Thinking about what Zhao Wuming told him, Bai Sang didn't have the slightest appetite. He didn't even look at the food on the table. He opened the door and walked out.
In the yard, four deputy Qianhu seemed to have just had breakfast, walking together smiling and chatting.
"How did you do what was assigned to you?" Bai Sang raised his hands and stretched.
"Don't worry, sir. These ships have been refurbished. Even I can't tell they are old ships. Those landlubbers in the East Factory definitely think they are new ones." One of the Qianhu said with a smile.
"Don't be careless. Mr. Zhao told me that these people in Dongchang are very powerful." Bai Sang nodded.
"Will someone from Dongchang come over today?"
"It's breakfast time now. They should be here soon. Let the soldiers keep their eyes open and don't say anything in front of the people in Dongchang." Bai Sang ordered.
"Don't worry, sir. We will always 'accompany' the people of Dongchang." Fu Qianhu looked very confident.
When the sun rose more than two feet high and it was already a bit hot and humid outside the house, Xiao Chen appeared in the Longmen camp with more than a dozen Dongchang captains.
"My lord, after traveling thousands of miles and traveling and traveling a lot, we arrived at the Longmen Defense Area before taking any rest. It's been such a hard work." Bai Sang hurried forward with a smile on his face, holding his fists.
After receiving the report from Tang Xing, the commander of the Songmen Guards, Xiao Chen already felt displeased with the thousands of households under his command.
But even so, the expression on his face was still a very "official" smile.
Without returning the courtesy, he glanced towards the camp: "As for the Japanese pirates, Bai Qianhu, as a coastal defense Qianhu, should know more than I do. I came here today, firstly, to ask about the strength of the Japanese pirates, and secondly, to see
Let’s see if Bai Qianhu can equip Dongchang with some easy-to-operate boats so that we can pursue the Japanese pirates when they flee.”
"There is no problem with the ship. I have already prepared it for you. As for the strength of this Japanese pirate, I really don't know."
"I don't know?" Xiao Chen was startled, "What Bai Qianhu means is that no Japanese pirates have appeared in your defense area?"
"Not really." Bai Sang smiled and bowed his body.
"So, it's Bai Qianhu's defensive measure that prevents Japanese pirates from landing?"
"Xiaguan patrols the defense area day and night. It is probably that the Japanese pirates did not want to confront our Ming army head-on, so they did not choose to land here." Bai Sang said.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh.
What is this for? Is it to show off your defensive measures?
Or do you mean that you simply don’t want to let yourself know the strength of the Japanese pirates and fight against you?
"It's a good thing we didn't land. Bai Qianhu will continue to strengthen the defense. Where are the ships? Can I take a look first?"
"The boats are on the beach, adults, come this way." With that said, Bai Sang turned around and walked towards the beach.
Longmensuo is built on a cliff by the sea.
Several people walked around the cliff and walked to the beach from a three-foot-wide path.
The beach is not big, no more than a hundred feet long, and there are more than a dozen ten-oared airships placed on it.
There are rocks and cliffs on both sides.
Looking at this pellet-like beach, Xiao Chen realized that the Japanese pirates would only land here if they were stupid.
Don't mention it here, what you have to face is the condescending attack from Longmen.
There isn't even a fishing village. Could it be possible that Japanese pirates landed and robbed Longmen Station?
Not long after, everyone had arrived in front of the spaceship.
The spaceship is two feet and eight feet long, with five wooden oars on the left and right sides. There is a two-foot-long tail rotor at the stern.
Beside each boat stood twenty-five soldiers.
He carries a sword on his waist and a long bow on his back.
"How do you use this boat?" When he saw the boat for the first time, Xiao Chen patted the seemingly brand-new hull and asked.
"How to use it, this official is really hard to explain. How about I ask someone to show you how to use it?" Bai Sang bowed and asked.
"Okay, let me take a look." Xiao Chen hurriedly took a few steps back.
Bai Sang nodded towards the deputy Qianhu next to him.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Japanese pirates have been spotted three hundred feet above sea level. Attack." Deputy Qianhu gave the order.
Twenty-five soldiers turned around at the same time and pushed up the spaceship next to the sea water.
The twenty-five soldiers who were already standing on the boat immediately began to divide their work.
Two burly soldiers hugged the two-foot-long tail rotor. The other ten soldiers each held an eight-foot-long wooden oar and began to paddle.
With tacit cooperation, the spaceship rushed forward quickly.
The remaining thirteen people have already taken off the long bows on their backs, and have put gunpowder arrows on the bows.
"Let go." A voice came from the mouth of a person holding the tail rotor.
A dozen gunpowder arrows flew forward, trailing streams of blue smoke.
"Papa papa." A huge sound came from a distance, bursts of water columns appeared on the sea surface, and many fish with white bellies floated up.
"Retreat." The man holding the tail rotor shouted again.
Immediately afterwards, the tail rotor in his hand twisted in one direction.
The soldier on the left side of the spacecraft stopped what he was doing.
The soldier on the right is still paddling the wooden oar quickly.
The spaceship was in the sea and turned around.
When the boat's hull was completely aimed at the beach, the ten wooden oars began to paddle simultaneously.
The spaceship roared and rushed towards the shore.
Along the shoal, I rushed to where I was just now.
"Sir, this is how the ten-oared spaceship is used." Bai Sang looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad." Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction and walked to the spacecraft with excitement on his face.
