Dengzhou ......

What a shame.

Emperor Hongzhi has hated these Franco-machine people to the core.

First attacked Xinjin, and then Dengzhou.

Not only in the Golden Continent, but also in the land of Gyeonggi, the Son of Heaven, showing off his might, unstoppable.

Is this a warning?

They're so bold.

Da Ming Li boasted that he was the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, even if they opened their eyes and saw a new world, they were still proud.

All the countries of the world, in terms of subjects and territories, who can match the Ming Dynasty?

Although there are many ills in the country, it is not a group of barbarians, which can be compared.

Right now...... Lu Guogong died in battle, Dengzhou, not far from this Beijing division, especially from Tianjin Wei, it can be said that it is close at hand, today, they dare to attack Dengzhou, tomorrow, is not to attack Tianjin Wei.

These two places are the gates of the Ming Dynasty, and once they are attacked, the world will be shaken.

Fang Jifan was on the side and couldn't help but say, "I understand everything. ”

"Got what?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said: "The attack on Xinjin and the attack on Dengzhou was originally an operation, the attack on the Golden Continent was to curb the expansion of my Ming Dynasty in the Golden Continent, and the attack on Dengzhou was to make my Ming Dynasty tremble." They sent several fast boats, coming from afar, their original intention, not at all to meet His Majesty, but to take this opportunity, docked in my Daming Quanzhou, and then, during the request for the audience, I think to come, I must have sent Xu Du to make a detailed work, spy on the hydrological data of my Daming, at the same time, spy on the interior of my Daming, they have to choose a target, to determine the route, to understand the truth and fiction, and finally, in a vain attempt to kill a fatal blow, so that I Ming Manchu Dynasty civil and military, shocked, so that we know their power. ”

Coming from afar, directly sneaking attack, this is a non-existent thing.

After all, the Spaniards are not clear about the hydrology of the Daming Sea, where is the most suitable for attack, this will take time, and it needs to be mastered slowly.

They knew that the Ming Dynasty would not directly tear their faces to drive people away for the envoys who came from afar, even if the two sides were not in harmony, and they were not worried that the Ming would take any countermeasures against their fleet because of their disgust with the Spaniards.

As long as they insist that they are here to meet the Ming Emperor, the officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty will never adopt a hostile attitude.

This gave them plenty of time to prepare for a sneak attack, and they must have sent their newest ships, which they thought were sharp enough to strike and retreat.

The Ming Dynasty's move to the West had already been alerted by the Spaniards, which made them begin to do whatever it took to try this series of actions to make the Ming completely softened.

At this time, the Kingdom of Spain can be said to be in full swing, how could they put the Ming in their eyes, in their eyes, the Ming is just the Ottoman Empire in the Far East.

The officials whispered one after another, obviously, they were also angry.

Although this is not as shameful as the civil fort, it can be repaid for such a grandiose attack and walked away.

Ma Wensheng immediately said: "The minister suggests that the coastal guards should be ordered to intercept these ......thieves immediately."

"It's too late." Fang Jifan said: "Originally, their ship was fast, but the Ningbo sailors couldn't catch up, and the other guards could be their opponents?" ”

Ma Wensheng was silent.

Fang Jifan said: "However, we still have a chance to ......"

"Still a chance?" Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan is extremely cold today.

He said with a straight face: "They have just attacked Dengzhou, and they are bound to follow the route and cross the Western Ocean, and this time the Spaniards must have taken note of the Portuguese, and the nearest stronghold of the Portuguese in the Western Ocean is in ......."

Fang Jifan's eyes widened: "It's in the sea area of Luzon, that is to say, they need to take the route from Dengzhou to Quanzhou first, and after crossing Penghu, they will continue to go to the Western Ocean." ”

"It's easy to know this route." Fang Jifan said sharply: "Sea chart." ”

When I heard the charts, no one moved.

Fang Jifan glared at Xiao Jing: "Father-in-law Xiao, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Xiao Jing glanced at Emperor Hongzhi aggrievedly.

Emperor Hongzhi had a gloomy face: "Go." ”

Xiao Jing suddenly went away like a dog with a broken spine.

The chart was taken and laid directly on the deck: "The Spaniards don't know much about the sea area of my Daming, and their route must have been spied from my Daming." Therefore, as long as we follow the route from Tianjin Wei to Quanzhou in the chart, if our ship is fast enough, we will definitely be able to catch up with them halfway! ”

Zhu Houzhao was on the side and nodded again and again.

The sea is not something that can be walked aimlessly, it has currents, there are deep and shallow areas, there are reefs.

Therefore, any route is opened up, and what Xu Jing did at the beginning is like this.

When a route is opened, latecomers often follow this route.

For example, from Dengzhou to Penghu, because it is a near-land voyage, the most important thing to guard against is the reef, once the ship collides with the reef on the seabed, there is a danger of running aground or sinking.

Therefore, the route is the safe zone.

Since the Spaniards were going to Luzon, the nearest route could only sail along the land and offshore seas, after all, they had no supplies on the way, and they could only cross the Daming Sea at the fastest speed.

They will never take risks and open up new routes, after all, they may encounter the Ming fleet at any time, and of course they will take the safest route.

Therefore, this route opened up by the Ming Dynasty has become their only choice.

This is equivalent to an official road on land, there is a ready-made official road, who is full of food and support, and wants to go over the mountains and mountains?

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, if you let them go, my great authority will be gone, the steam ship is fast, perhaps, you can catch up with them, teach them to have no return." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "Steam ship, can you really catch up?" ”

This is obviously incredible, those Spaniards, even if they are still in Dengzhou, there is a distance from Tianjin Wei, not to mention, they are clippers.

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know? Do you want to watch them go? ”

"Erchen begs Your Majesty to allow the human scum Wang Bushi to pursue the thief ship!" Emperor Hongzhi of the Fang Ji Dynasty arched his hand.

Emperor Hongji took a deep breath.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi's anger is still churning.

Although, he thought it was a bit fanciful, but ...... If Da Ming doesn't do anything, then ......

Emperor Hongzhi Zhengse said: "Pursuit." ”

Zhu Houzhao had been waiting for his father's decree for a long time.

At this time, the boiler has not completely turned off, which is great, and now, it is a race against time, and if you delay for a while, you will delay the fighter.

Zhu Houzhao immediately shouted: "Order, don't drop anchor, sail at full speed, to the direction of Penghu!" ”

All of a sudden, the whole steamship seemed to be revived, and the smoke from the chimney began to billowing out again, and the big ship moved slowly, and then began to accelerate.

The officers stood a little unsteady on the deck, they exchanged their heads with each other, and in this huge ship, and under the shroud of the tumbling steam in the sky, they suddenly felt their own insignificance.

The impeller began to rotate at the bottom of the water, and the sea surface cut the waves, and the tumbling water was silvery white.

Can you catch up?

Many people have a question in their minds.

The big ship, however, had already left the harbor, and after ascertaining that the wind was favorable, the canvases slowly rose from the mast.

At this time...... But it is the time of the most test for the helmsman, the helmsman and the sail must cooperate closely, once the sail is opened, the rudder system of the steering wheel needs to be closed immediately, only the propel of the impeller, and the full sail.

The ship is getting faster and faster, and the people on the deck are already beginning to lose their footing, and the sea breeze is blowing hard.

At this time, someone raised his head in confusion, looked back at the land that gradually disappeared under his eyes, and suddenly said, "We...... We haven't gotten off yet, we've not gotten off yet. ”

Yes.

The officials blew up all at once.

The so-called thing is man-made, although they do not count on the pursuit of the Franc aircraft ship, His Majesty also issued an order, dead horses should be live horse doctors.

But......

I'm still on the boat.

His Majesty was also on board, as well as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......

Oh, it's scary, it looks so dangerous.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed calm and composed.

He didn't say a word, and when he heard the voices of the ministers, Xiao Jing on the side couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty ......"

"Don't talk too much." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "At this moment, if I lead a hundred officials to get off the ship, what will it look like, I am the Son of Heaven, and I have the blessing of God, I want to come...... It will be fine. ”

Xiao Jing said in his heart, Your Majesty...... Slaves...... The slave is just a eunuch, and there is no protection from heaven.

He felt his legs go a little limp.

Emperor Hongzhi had a gloomy face.

Maybe...... It's because of emotions.

Or or.

He saw Zhu Houzhao on the deck, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be crazy and had to inspect the cabins everywhere, and together with Fang Jifan, he gave orders one after another.

These two young people, like tireless machines, are full of vitality all over their bodies.

And countless sailors and boatmen seem to have been driven by them.

The people shuttling on the deck are all walking like the wind, as if they are ...... This steamship, alive.

Maybe I'm infected by this.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't mention getting off the ship at all, got off the ship, and waited for news on land?

Yes, as a great tomorrow, maybe ...... As it should be.

It's just that...... Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that it seemed to ...... It's not a big deal to get a little passionate once in a while.

Just ...... Let's patrol the sea with a real dragon!

I'm a dragon!

In the distance, there was a sudden uproar.

"Oops, I'm dizzy, the old man is dizzy. The old man wants to get off the boat, he wants to get off the boat......"

"I have to ask Your Majesty, I have to ask Your Majesty to get off the ship, it's a shame, it's a shame, if there is any risk, what is the society, what is the common people?"

Fang Jifan...... Qi Guogong, are you crazy...... Are you crazy, why don't you let Your Majesty and us disembark. ”

"Get out of here, don't mess with me!"
