There are many of the officials, who are old and dizzy.

In fact, they are not worried about the dangers of this trip.

Such a large ship, and not sailing towards the deep sea, will not sink if you think about it.

As for going to fight the Francophone ships.

this

It's a joke!

Everyone has already left Dengzhou and headed south, not to mention that it is a fast ship, even if it is a ship of the Ningbo Navy, it will not be caught up.

Therefore, this so-called sortie is more symbolic.

It is equivalent to His Majesty's resentment of the actions of the Spaniards, and declared to the people of the world that since then, the Spaniards have become the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, it's still out of line.

Fang Jifan's attitude was very arrogant.

How can you say roll?

To be more serious, this ship rolls and is about to go to sea.

Do you have a conscience in Fang Jifan, gave the old man a loan, took away the old man's coffin book, and bought your house, do you still want to let the old man die?

Everyone looked at each other, and there were faint convulsions on their faces.

Bear with me.

When someone's father dies, it's a big one to die.

At this time, being more serious with a person whose father has lost will only lower his own pattern.

thereupon

Fang Jifan has already left, big guy, he has no temper at all.

in the cabin.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao stared at the chart, and on the ship, dozens of staff officers were calculating, they were calculating the fuel situation and the voyage.

Zhu Houzhao held a slender stick in his hand and kept pointing at various seas.

Fang Jifan stared in the direction where the stick was pointed, and he looked very calm.

"According to the calculation, it is possible to catch up, we hung up the auxiliary sail, which can save a lot of fuel, in addition, we are in the bilge, and the spare coal in the ballast is enough, and we hold on to Quanzhou Of course, this is everything under the condition of a tailwind, if we encounter a headwind, it is impossible to say."

"And the ship of the Francophile man, the speed is faster than the ship of the Ningbo Navy, and the report says that it can't catch up, and the palace looks at it, which is a bit exaggerated" Zhu Houzhao said, put down the stick in his hand, began to lean down, and began to calculate with a charcoal brush, and finally raised his head: "Old Fang, before noon the day after tomorrow, if you can catch up, then the big thing can be decided." ”

Fang Jifan nodded: "Let all the sailors and gunners rest now, when the time comes, they will be busy." ”

Zhu Houzhao dropped the pen and said, "Old Fang, don't worry, no matter what, we will also help you take revenge." ”

"Revenge?" Fang Jifan's bland road.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father's hatred." ”

Fang Jifan's face was numb: "My father is not dead yet, you see, is there a book from the Golden Continent?" If my father dies, I will definitely pass the book, this battle is not a personal vendetta, but a public war! ”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to explain that according to his years of experience in operating on people, more than 30 knives must be dead and can no longer die. According to Zhu Houzhao's more serious temper, he has to be more serious.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head and forgot it.

The giant ship went all the way to the south, the sky darkened, and then, it welcomed the early morning dawn, ushered in the scorching sun, the sea waves, along the established course, the chimney continued to roll black smoke, and the huge hull, between the red lines, went at full speed.

In just one day, dozens of people fell.

The men vomited and diarrhea, and were carried into the silkworm cabin in the ship to rest.

Even if they haven't fallen yet, they are all coaxed.

This old bone, I'm afraid I have to explain it here.

People encouraged each other and lamented each other.

Emperor Hongzhi was in the cabin, this was originally a command cabin, and it was not small, but His Majesty was here, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to roll to other cabins to set combat goals.

Luckily, there was tea on the boat too.

Emperor Hongzhi drank tea, and Xiao Jing stood aside.

Li Dongyang has already gone to the silkworm room, Xie Qian is a native of Jiangnan, but he is accustomed to water, and he can maintain a little bit of the demeanor of a minister, but the so-called demeanor is also very limited, and he is still pale.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also knelt on the side, and some ministers such as Liang Chu sat silently.

Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea.

He's proud.

I didn't get seasick.

I have been on the ship for more than a day, and I am still not used to it, but I can understand the hardships of these boatmen and sailors.

"Qing and the others are only in the boat, so they can't stay, saying that it is hard, but these boatmen, these sailors, are adrift in the sea all the year round, but they still need to produce coolies, how can they survive?"

ridiculed, leaving the ministers speechless.

"Your Majesty, it's been more than a day at sea, isn't it time to go back?" Ma Wensheng couldn't help but say.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Where is the ship now?" ”

"You look at me, I look at you."

I don't have any concept of this, I just know that everyone is on the ship, and life on the ship is very difficult, and the rest

Emperor Hongzhi was a little speechless, but he couldn't say anything, especially the death of Lu Guogong and the attack on Dengzhou, which made him annoyed and had nowhere to vent, so he raised his head and glared at Xiao Jing: "You don't know either?" ”

Xiao Jing was busy bowing down: "Slave slave slave" Although he wanted to talk nonsense, he thought about it, on this sea, even nonsense was poor in vocabulary: "Slave and slave don't know." ”

"What are you eating?" Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "What use do I want you? ”

Xiao Jing's frightened face was like earth, and he hurriedly said: "Slave, slave and maid, go and ask." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said sharply: "Ask? Everyone is busy, their feet don't touch the ground, what are you going to do when you eat dry food? Do you add to the chaos? ”

Xiao Jing didn't dare to say anything anymore, knelt obediently, what do you like, eighteen years later, he is a good eunuch again.

Ma Wensheng wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something and stopped, forget it, don't say it.

The food on the ship tastes like chewing wax.

This thing is too rough.

In the middle of the night, many people toss and turn, after all, the vibrations and noises emitted from the ship are too great in the dead of night.

Sometimes, it is inevitable that some people are worried about the sky, if a wave hits, won't they just die in vain.

In this anxiety, I barely fell asleep, and the next day, I was woken up by countless trumpets.

The hundreds of officials obediently arrived in the cabin, they really couldn't stand it, and everyone had to hurry up and ask His Majesty to give an order to return to the ship.

Dozens of ministers have arrived at the command module.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was not good, after all, the ship was too tormented.

The ministers saluted, and Ma Wensheng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, it has been more than two days, and the ministers really can't stand it, so I implore Your Majesty, be considerate of your ministers, and return home." What's more, Your Majesty is sailing, and Beijing must be anxious, although there is Duke Liu in the cabinet, but the ministers are worried about the world."

Emperor Hongzhi sat in the cabin in a daze, he seemed a little distracted, and the death of Lu Guogong seemed to touch him something.

"I think that at the beginning, Lu Guogong sat on a boat, crossed thousands of miles of oceans, walked for an unknown number of days, and arrived at the Golden Continent, only two days, so how many sins did Lu Guogong suffer on the way?"

The ministers were silent.

"It's just" Ma Wensheng gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty ordered an attack, the original intention was to annihilate the enemy of Spain, but Your Majesty, how can you catch up?" The Spanish clipper, the Ningbo sailor's speedboat, still can't catch up, not to mention, they are Dengzhou departure, and the ministers are Tianjin Wei departure, this halfway, how far apart, the old minister in the voyage, did not dare to say, only afraid of ruining His Majesty's interest, but now, such as a fish in the throat, is to have to say, Your Majesty Fran aircraft, is not able to catch up, Qi Guogong to chase, this is because, his father passed away, full of national hatred, this became irrational, knowing that it could not be done, but this is useless, what is the meaning? ”

Listening to Ma Wensheng's words, the officials nodded one after another: "Yes, if you catch up, you should try your best to catch up, but the distance is too far, the Franco ship, judging from the reports of Quanzhou and Ningbo, is coming and going like the wind, and Your Majesty can no longer be obsessed." ”

The crowd persuaded one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi also smiled bitterly.

In fact, he didn't know that he couldn't catch up at all.

The reason why he agreed to Fang Jifan's request was just to comfort him, and at the same time, it was also to vent his anger against the Spaniards.

This time, the Spaniard gave himself a hard slap, this slap was very painful, and it is still hot.

Emperor Hongzhi just couldn't swallow this breath.

Of course, if he can catch up, Emperor Hongzhi will not be able to bring these hundred officials with him, he is the Son of Heaven, even if he wants to take the risk and fight against the Franco, it will definitely be someone to drag the prince off the ship, let the prince supervise the country, and order the hundred officials to escort him back to Beijing.

Emperor Hongzhi fell into silence, he weighed it in his heart, and sighed for a long time: "Summoning the crown prince and the Duke of Qi." ”

Ma Wensheng and the others suddenly had joy on their faces.

I already knew that I couldn't catch up, you see, I chased it for more than two days, and I didn't even see a ghost, and I could finally go home.

Go home

These two words, for them, are particularly cordial, it turns out that as long as this person goes to the sea, he will have an inexplicable obsession with going home.

Xiao Jing was busy leaving, preparing to summon the crown prince and Fang Jifan.

He had just arrived at the hatch.

Suddenly, outside, the bell rang loudly.

All of a sudden, the whole ship seemed to be boiling.

In the distance, there was a roar.

"Spotted thief, spotted thief, southeast, southeast!"

"Ready, ready, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered, all on alert, ready for battle, sailors and gunners return to the cabin!"

"Drop the canvas, put down the canvas!"

Xiao Jing's legs and stomach trembled, and he suddenly shivered.

He saw that on the deck, the people who had been walking briskly, all of a sudden, changed to jogging, and everyone was jogging towards their posts frantically, buzzing, the sailors who were watching kept waving their flags downward.

me, I've caught up
