Chapter 16: Long live
In Chen Mu's heart, Shao Tingda should have drifted to the west coast of Asia after being lost, with the character of a reckless insect, he should know that Chen Mu would definitely send someone to find him, and the most likely would be to set up a high camp in the same place, eating the military rations on the ship and training.
He only partially guessed right.
Shao Tingda did know that Chen Mu would definitely send someone to find him, so he found that he seemed to be particularly fearless after being lost.
How much can you fear?
He didn't set up camp after docking, and sent a fleet to the north to find Majiagang to report Chen Mu's safety, and then continued to order to go south.
General Shao was addicted to the pleasure of commanding the Grand Fleet and couldn't extricate himself, so he was not in a hurry to find Chen Mu at all. His fleet consisted of five fleets, 33 large and small warships, and 25 ships even if he sent a fleet to the north.
He had never commanded such a large fleet in the South Seas.
How can you not take advantage of this opportunity to have fun?
Of course, the message from the fleet he sent north to report to Chen Mu was that Shao Tingda led his fleet to explore the coastal terrain after he was lost, preparing for possible future wars.
This is not a lie, the scenery in the eyes of the generals of the horses, the terrain of mountains and rivers are many times more wonderful than ordinary people.
Occupation and experience can affect people's way of thinking, for the four fleet admirals of the Oriental Fleet, Chen Mu came here to do the strategy of Asia, and they only took care of the second half of the strategy, the strategy.
People have come here to fight.
The sight of the insects has caused great panic among the inhabitants of the west coast of Asia.
The aborigines here have all seen boats, and Magui's boats often come and go from here, sometimes going south, sometimes going north, which is very common.
But how big is Magui's ship? The largest ship is only 400 materials.
Shao Tingda's flagship with a spiritual plate is a serious over-standard Liujia ship, and after several repairs, the ship has even caught up with Chen Mu's past ship, Chihai, the whole thing is a sea beast, leading hordes of warships past the door of other people's homes, can you not panic?
Panic is panic, Shao Tingda didn't do anything, he took a telescope on the boat and watched the people fishing, gathering, and logging quietly and peacefully, and even a white-bearded old man wrapped in leather clothes sat on the beach and smoked, he thought it was very good-looking.
It's pretty, it's a strange word, isn't it?
In fact, General Shao's original words were even stranger, what he said was: "Oh dry Lin Niang, look at that old man, sit on that fake water!" ”
Walk all the way, be happy, stay all the way to panic.
It wasn't until he entered the territory of the Yi people, like Ma Gui, that he was also very surprised to see such a huge tribe for the first time, and just ordered the fleet to stop out of curiosity, and the old men and women of the Yi tribe brought them leather blankets, horns, and gold and jade stones.
And he also made a gesture of inviting them into the village.
"The people here are so hospitable, let's go and see it!"
It wasn't until Shao Tingda's men pulled their mounts out of the boats that the Asian villagers who had offered their treasures screamed and shook the village.
Before Shao Tingda could figure out why they were so different, countless aboriginal hunters in the fields and villages came to the port with bows, arrows, and spears.
Among the few people who ran the fastest, there were actually two figures that made Shao Tingda's fleet flag army feel familiar.
They absolutely don't know people, Shao Tingda didn't know anyone with bone earrings and cow bones on his nose since he was a child, but he knew clothes.
It's too conspicuous.
The two of them are one on the left and one on the right, the one on the left is wearing an iron high-topped helmet, wearing a mirrored cuirass, holding a handguard sword in his hand, and a leather skirt on his lower body.
The one on the right is even more powerful, fully armed, wearing an iron helmet, wearing a dark blue cotton lined iron armor long smock, his arms are tied with iron arms, he is pedaling a pair of black cloth round-toed fat military boots, and he is holding a short-handled iron melon, and he is stunned on the spot halfway.
The person on the other side seems to have a helmet similar to himself.
Then he began to shout words that Shao Tingda couldn't understand to dissuade the rushing aboriginal warriors around him.
Shao Tingda looked a little confused, and raised his hand to stop the flag army on his side who had already finished the formation and began to aim at the end of his feet.
This batch of Beiyang No. 1 Banner Army is well-trained, Shao Tingda has not even given the order, they have already formed an engagement formation, two rows of bird guns in the front, two rows of spearmen in the back, the engineer team and the artillery team who did not have time to go to the ship to pull the cannon in the back two feet with shovels and began to dig foxholes.
On the one hand, they know what they should do, and on the other hand, they can accurately give orders to the flag army, from thousands of households to flag officers.
Shao Tingda looked at the figure that blocked and really stopped hundreds of aboriginal hunters not far away, and said to himself: "Liaodong Army? But the helmet is ours. ”
The aborigine's attire is the Liaodong Army, Shao Tingda led the fleet to Beiyang when Li Chengliang's subordinates gave gifts to these Nanyang generals, wearing this body, the inner and outer two layers of hammered and compacted cotton, in addition to the two sleeves, the mezzanine is fixed with iron armor and copper and iron nails, a body of armor forty-five pounds, very heavy, but very suitable for the cold temperature of the Great Wall in winter.
However, the helmets of the Liaodong Army were domed or pointed helmets of the border army bloodline, and they did not have the helmets of the southern army blood.
In the heavens and on the ground, only the soldiers who mixed and matched this equipment were the soldiers of Magui, their helmets, arm bindings, military clothes, boots, and cuirasses were dispatched by Nanyang, but under the severe cold of Kuwu Island, a batch of cotton armor was transferred from Xuanfu, and that's it.
The flag army of the Oriental Beiyang wears a cuirass, which is much lighter, and wears a cotton coat with the same color as the Beiyang military uniform, and it is not lighter than cotton armor.
The officers were better, like Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan, they all had coats made of animal fur such as bears, wolves, rabbits, etc., which were relatively light.
A strange scene appeared before Shao Tingda's eyes, the Ming army and Spanish soldiers who had never actually joined forces in the Ming alliance were being pieced together by the wearers in the aboriginal villages of the Asian coast.
The aboriginal soldier wearing Liaodong cotton armor finally persuaded those hunters and warriors, walked alone between the two armies with some cowering, and shouted to Shao Tingda: "I am a long-legged bear, a subordinate of Zheng Tu of Zhuangyuanqiao!" ”
The voice is particularly loud, and the official words of Shuntian are correct and round.
Shao Tingda pondered for a moment, didn't remember that there was someone named Zheng Tu in the Nanyang Army, and then turned his head to look at the Qianhu Black Cloud Dragon under his command, and asked, "Heiwa, is there anyone named Zheng Tu in your Beiyang?" ”
Heiyunlong closed his eyes and recalled his relatives, and said decisively: "No! ”
Shao Tingda's brows furrowed slowly, and he hugged his arms and said in an unkind tone: "Could it be that they killed Ma Shuai's subordinates and snatched the armor?" I don't think the cotton armor matches the helmet. ”
The long-legged bear couldn't hear them, and he might not understand them if he did, but he could see the other leader's expression and see that the situation was not good.
However, the Ming army taught them to speak at the Zhuangyuan Bridge for too short a time, and the study time was already very small, and it was already extraordinary to be able to introduce themselves, and the more anxious they were, the more speechless they became.
In the last hurry, he bowed down to the west and said loudly: "I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, long live the emperor!" ”
Wow!
The banner army standing in front of him separated the two sides, and even Shao Tingda avoided to the side...... Who would dare to stop this emperor?
