Several generals looked at each other and took a step forward. They looked at Chu Yi and said: "General manager, General Lu is the deputy commander of the army. He is the one who is in charge of the central army. How can he take risks with his own life? After charging into the battle,
It’s better for me to let the generals do it for me!”
Lu Dazhu was looking at Chu Yi excitedly, waiting for Chu Yi to nod, but the result was good, several generals actually opened his mouth to dismantle him. Suddenly Lu Dazhu turned around and yelled at several people: "You guys
Guy, why can't this general charge into battle..."
If it had been anyone else, they would have been frightened by being pointed at and yelled at by their own commander, but these generals showed no sign of panic, and instead looked at Chu Yi.
Even though Lu Dazhu looks like a reckless man, anyone who has had contact with Lu Dazhu knows that Lu Dazhu is not what he looks like. On the contrary, Lu Dazhu is not only not a reckless man, but a brave and resourceful person.
, and he is open-minded, able to fight with his soldiers, and even a small soldier can joke with him.
If Lu Dazhu was really a reckless man, it would be impossible for him to be valued by Chu Yi and then promoted all the way to become a powerful figure in the army.
Although Lu Dazhu was pointing at several generals and yelling at them, these generals knew that in fact, Lu Dazhu didn't take it to heart at all.
With a slight cough, Chu Yi glanced at Lu Dazhu and smiled slightly: "General Lu, your habit of charging into battle needs to be changed. As the commander of an army, sitting in the center of the army, controlling the overall situation is the most important thing.
.”
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Lu Dazhu smiled and said: "Isn't it that you, the chief manager, are here to take charge? This is the last time the general wanted to go out in person and charge into the battle."
In Lu Dazhu's opinion, with his current status, whenever he goes on an expedition in the future, he will most likely be the commander of the first army. As the commander of the first army, he will naturally be in charge of the central army as Chu Yi said.
It is unrealistic to want to charge into battle.
That is to say, right now, Chu Yi was among the army, so he thought of charging into the formation as soon as he could.
His eyes fell on one of the young generals, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Yu Dayou, I ordered you to lead a team of warships to rescue the caravan ahead!"
Among the several generals, the young general who was named by Chu Yi couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Yu Dayou was only sixteen years old, but he stood out in the military competition. When Chu Yi looked through the roster of soldiers, he discovered Yu Dayou, a future general.
In the mid-Ming Dynasty, especially during the Jiajing Dynasty, Japanese pirates almost became one of the most serious worries of the Ming Dynasty. Several provinces in the southeast were plagued by Japanese pirates. During this period, military talents such as Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and Hu Zongxian stood out.
Later generations naturally have the deepest impression of Qi Jiguang. On the contrary, people like Yu Dayou, Hu Zongxian and others have not much impression. But to be honest, Hu Zongxian was the governor of the seven southeastern provinces appointed by the Ming Dynasty to supervise the pacification of Japanese affairs.
It was Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were both under his command.
And Yu Dayou's talent is no less than that of Qi Jiguang. He is known as Yu Long and Qi Hu. Yu Dayou can be called the same as Qi Jiguang, which shows his military ability.
Compared with Qi Jiguang, who has not yet been born, Yu Dayou has already entered the army and has come into Chu Yi's sight.
Originally, Yu Dayou had no military exploits, but he was granted the title of a member of the army by Chu Yi by virtue of his martial arts. The most important thing is that Yu Dayou was appointed by Chu Yi to take him with him. Anyone who is not a fool can see that Yu Dayou is leaving.
Great luck.
So even though Yu Dayou has the lowest official rank among the generals, no one dares to underestimate this young general.
Any fool can see how much Chu Yi values Yu Dayou. The most important thing is that Yu Dayou himself is not bad in ability, and his martial arts has won the recognition and admiration of many generals.
It is conceivable that such a general who is not bad in his own ability and is highly valued by a nobleman like Chu Yi will definitely not have a problem in his future career as long as he is not too unlucky.
But no one expected that Chu Yi would directly appoint Yu Dayou. You must know that Yu Dayou has no actual combat experience.
However, thinking of how much Chu Yi valued Yu Dayou, even if someone had any opinions, they would not dare to raise them, otherwise they would not only hate Yu Dayou, but also make Chu Yi dislike him.
Everyone looked at Yu Dayou with envy. After Yu Dayou was stunned for a while, he realized and quickly bowed to Chu Yi. At the same time, he said in a deep voice with a bit of surprise: "The last general has accepted the order, and he will surely live up to the expectations of the chief manager."
Soon after Chu Yi's order was issued, several ships broke away from the fleet, and under the command of Yu Dayou, they headed straight for the merchant ships that were vaguely visible to the naked eye in the distance like arrows from the string.
Seeing Yu Dayou taking several ships away and standing next to Chu Yi, Lu Dazhu said with a bit of seriousness on his face: "General manager, Yu Dayou is a good guy, but he has never been on the battlefield. This
The first time..."
Obviously, even Lu Dazhu was a little worried at the moment. In fact, Yu Dayou had never experienced a battle at all, so he was also worried that something unexpected would happen to Yu Dayou.
However, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said as if he was not worried at all: "Everything has its first time. You can't not let Yu Dayou go out to fight just because he has never experienced a battle. Besides, they are just some pirates. If
If he can't even deal with these pirates, how will he be able to fight on the battlefield in the future?"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Lu Dazhu and others sighed inwardly. There is probably no other person in the army who can be valued so highly by Chu Yi.
However, Yu Dayou suppressed his inner excitement and led several ships under his command to head straight for the merchant ships in the distance.
Yu Dayou was not a fool. He never dreamed that he would be lucky enough to fall into Chu Yi's eyes without any basic background in the military.
In the huge Ming Dynasty, there is no more reliable backer like Chu Yi. With this noble man's attention, Yu Dayou himself feels that everything is like a dream.
However, Yu Dayou can be valued by Chu Yi. Even though he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he has already shown extraordinary abilities.
Yu Dayou later became as famous as Qi Jiguang, so how could he be considered an ordinary person?
Qi Jiguang was supported by Zhang Juzheng, but Yu Dayou did not have such a big backer in the court. Even so, Yu Dayou was still able to stand alongside Qi Jiguang.
But when Gu An, Gu Shisan's uncle and nephew were arguing over who should stay to delay the Japanese pirates, suddenly a servant shouted loudly with a look of shock on his face: "Young Master,
Young Master Thirteen, there is a big ship, there is a big ship..."
"What?"
Gu An and Gu Shisan's expressions changed after hearing the words. The two of them almost instinctively took out their telescopes and looked toward the sea in the distance.
At first glance, Gu An and Gu Shisan couldn't help showing surprise on their faces, and Gu An said in surprise: "The sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, Thirteen, you saw it, that is my Ming Dynasty's sun flag." Moon flag!"
The sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty is the military flag of the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, it can only be flown by the military. Now, a fleet of ships has appeared on the sea.
When the dark fleet entered the eyes of Gu An, Gu Shisan's uncle and nephew, they were naturally shocked and extremely happy.
No matter how bad the situation is, it is still better than the current situation. If these fleets are really the fleets of the Ming Dynasty, let alone others, just looking at the dark area, there are almost countless ships. The boat was definitely not something that the Japanese pirates behind them could resist.
"Uncle, we can be saved, we can be saved!"
Gu Shisan said loudly to Gu An with a look of surprise on his face.
Gu An even had tears of joy on his face. After reacting, he immediately shouted to the flagman on the ship: "Send the flag for help quickly!"
With little need for Gu An's orders, the first people in the fleet to spot the Ming fleet were the watchmen and the flag bearer on the ship. When Gu An gave the order, the flag bearer had already signaled for help.
When the flag bearer raised the flag, it was also when Yu Dayou came with several ships towards the caravan, so through the telescope, Uncle Gu An and his nephew saw several ships separated from that huge fleet. The ship was quickly heading in their direction.
Gu An couldn't help laughing, tears rolled down his face, and a feeling of escape from a desperate situation arose.
Here, Uncle Gu and his nephew looked surprised, and the Japanese pirates who had been chasing the Gu family's caravan naturally discovered such a huge fleet appearing on the sea.
The fleet was so huge that when viewed through a telescope, the entire sea surface was covered in darkness, and there were so many ships that it was hard to count, numbering in the hundreds.
Nakajo Heri is the leader of this group of Japanese pirates, but Nakajo Heri is not a real bandit. His true identity is a general of Japan's Ishimi Country. During the Warring States Period of Japan, the small land of Japan was... It was divided into sixty-six countries. This period was also the Warring States Period of Japan. Dozens of countries, large and small, were distributed in the small land of Japan. It can almost be said that one county is one country. And this so-called fighting in the Warring States Period is equivalent to the fighting between one county and another county.
Iwami Country is one of the sixty-six kingdoms of Japan. It occupies the land of Iwami. The person who rules Iwami Country is the Ouchi clan. As the head of the Ouchi clan, Ouchi Yoshihiro has quite a few means and ambitions.
Because Iwami Country owns the Iwami Silver Mine, a huge silver mine that is one of the best in Japan and even Asia, it has always been watched by all parties. Izumo Country, Aki Country and other countries adjacent to Iwami Country have successively Invading Iwami Country and trying to occupy Iwami Silver Mine.
One can imagine the pressure that Ouchi Yoshihiro was under as the head of the family. Under this pressure, Ouchi Yoshihiro naturally tried every means to strengthen the power of the Ouchi clan.
Nakajo Auri was a retainer of the Ouchi clan, and he was ordered to plunder merchant ships at sea. On the one hand, he strengthened the Ouchi clan's strength, and on the other hand, he also trained his troops.
Through the telescope, Nakajo Heri could clearly see a series of ships on the sea, and his expression became solemn.
Next to Nakajo Heri, Yamano Hikari also looked at the row of ships with a shocked look on his face and trembled: "Nakajo-kun, these... these ships..."
Nakajo Auri narrowed his eyes and said with a flash of surprise: "That's...that's the Great Tomorrow Sun and Moon Flag!"
Japan is no stranger to the Daimei Riyue Flag, but the Daimei Riyue Flag flying in the fleet is extremely eye-catching and can be easily spotted, so Nakajo Heri noticed the Daimei Riyue Flag with a little attention.
flag.
"This...this is actually the Ming Dynasty fleet!"
Yamano Hikaru couldn't help but exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face. He obviously didn't expect that such a fleet would suddenly appear at this time.
The most important thing is that at this moment, several ships are actually heading towards their direction, which makes Nakajo Auri and Yamano Hikaru feel anxious.
Yamano Hikaru said to Nakajo Heri with a bit of worry: "Nakajo-kun, what should we do? Will these Ming ships deal with us..."
Nakajo Heli was not sure, but he was a retainer of the Ouchi clan. He had seen some scenes at least, so he calmly said: "Don't panic, those officials in the Ming Dynasty are the most pedantic. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, we will come to them."
They won’t do anything to us!”
Hearing what Nakajo Auri said, Yamano Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief, and the other Japanese pirates on the boat also felt much more at ease.
The Japanese pirates who were chasing closely stopped, Gu An, Gu Shisan's uncle and nephew noticed the Japanese pirates' actions and took a deep breath. They looked at each other and almost cried with excitement.
In just a short while, Yu Dayou led several ships to appear in front of the caravan, and at the same time sent someone to send a signal to the Gu family caravan.
Gu An, Gu Shisan's uncle and nephew boarded the ship. When they saw Yu Dayou, they couldn't help but be startled. Yu Dayou looked too young in military uniform. His immature face made it difficult to believe him.
He turned out to be a Ming Dynasty general.
Although they were slightly stunned, the uncle and nephew saluted Yu Dayou: "I have seen the general, Gu An from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Gu Shisan thanked the general for saving his life. I don't know the general's surname..."
Yu Dayou waved his hand and said: "I am Yu Dayou, and I have come here to rescue you on the orders of the chief steward. If you want to thank me, please thank the chief steward."
Gu An and Gu Shisan were stunned when they heard this, and Gu An said in surprise: "General Manager? Could it be King Chu Yi of Wu, the General Manager of Chu?"
No wonder Uncle Gu's nephew was so shocked. After all, in their view, it was absolutely impossible for a high-ranking being like Chu Yi to appear on this vast ocean.
The sea is constantly changing, not to mention a huge fleet, even a large fleet will still be in danger of capsizing if it encounters a storm.
A gentleman should not stand on dangerous walls. Noble men like Chu Yi should stay in the capital, rather than risk their lives and appear on this ever-changing sea.
