Chapter 1310: Chen Qiyu's Shame
The sea is still the same sea, the port is still the same port, the only difference is that the port is blocked again. Thirty warships were ready to go, floating on the shore of the harbor, ready to set off at any time.
Mao Wenlong is wearing a battle armor as the main commander, and Mao Jingwen is also wearing a battle armor as the deputy commander. It is normal for father and son to go out to fight in the army at the same time, but Mao Wenlong has been avoiding such a situation. Whoever made Mao Wenlong only have an only son like Mao Jingwen, if something happens, the Mao family will have no inheritance.
Now, Mao Wenlong has to let Mao Jingwen go on the expedition together, which is naturally a helpless move. Fortunately, Mao Jingwen fought for his strength and made great contributions to the development of the Mao family. added four royal grandsons and three imperial granddaughters to Mao Wenlong, which made the Mao family very relieved.
Going to sea means danger, from the palace nobles to the common people, they attach great importance to every sea. Sacrificing to the sea is a ritual that must be done before going to sea, after the grand sacrifice, Mao Wenlong led the generals to board the ship.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The steamship whistled three times, then the war drums sounded, and the thirty warships slowly left the harbor in order.
At the bow of the treasure ship command ship, Mao Wenlong and Mao Jingwen, father and son, looked at the endless sea, and their hearts were quite surging!
"Father, how long will it take for us to go on this expedition?" Mao Jingwen's eyes were full of excitement.
"One year, two or three years!" Mao Wenlong thought for a moment and responded softly.
It is really impossible to estimate the time of going to sea to fight, and Mao Wenlong can only give an approximation. But he wondered why his son asked, "Why do you ask this?" ”
"Father, the emperor is afraid that if he leaves the palace for too long, the political affairs in the court will be wasted, will there be chaos?" I had been thinking about the excitement of going out before, but now Mao Jingwen remembered that he had gone to sea, and the government would be abandoned.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have already written to your mother to send it, and they will arrange it by then." Mao Wenlong was confident and relieved Mao Jingwen's worries.
There are those old ministers in the court's political affairs, and Mao Wenlong is not worried at all. Moreover, now the entire Ming Dynasty is united and prosperous, and there will be no mistakes.
When Mao Jingwen heard that his father had already made arrangements, he suddenly felt relieved, and said with a smile: "My father is wise!" ”
"You don't need to be a sycophant, my father wants you to remember not to be impatient. As the king of a country, even if something irreversible happens, you should be calm on the surface. Mao Wenlong gave his son a rare click.
"The emperor obeys his father's teachings!" Mao Jingwen didn't dare to be disobedient and obediently listened to the training.
He knew very well that although he was the emperor, his prestige and reputation were not as good as his father's. has been on the throne for many years, and Mao Jingwen knows how everything he has now come about. From now on, Mao Wenlong is ready to slowly transfer power to himself, and Mao Jingwen has no choice but to obediently obey.
Looking at his well-behaved son, Mao Wenlong was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it too obviously, and finally smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder. Let him return to the cabin with him, and the battleship has already left the harbor, and the wind and waves are too strong to stay at the bow of the ship.
Thirty warships set out at full strength and headed straight for the South China Sea, and the destination of Mao Wenlong's trip was Luzon. The disadvantage of treating Luzon as a battlefield is that it is very troublesome and requires risks when supplying. The advantage is that the war will not spread to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and after weighing the pros and cons, Mao Wenlong decided to set the battlefield in the sea around Luzon. And Luzon is now completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, which undoubtedly saves the Ming Dynasty navy a lot of troubles.
After the only cholera Sun and Moon Cult in the Ming Dynasty was eliminated, there was no longer any threat. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and prosperity was prosperous, while Luzon was still in the midst of war. The nest of the Sun Moon Sect is in Luzon, which makes Chen Jisheng very annoyed, this guy ignited the war in Luzon, and he also has revenge in his heart.
In the main hall of the Imperial City of Luzon, more than a dozen generals dressed in the naval armor of the Ming Dynasty were discussing fiercely. The leader is none other than Chen Jisheng, who has just arrived, and this guy has been keeping a calm face after learning that the Yiren near Luzon have started to make waves again.
Chen Qi probed Chen Jisheng more carefully, and found that his face was extremely ugly, and he had something to discuss, so he forcibly suffocated the words back into his stomach. Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyue were originally the main and deputy commanders of the army, Chen Jisheng was the main commander, and Chen Qiyue was the deputy commander. The two cooperate tacitly, and their status in the army is almost equal, it stands to reason that Chen Qiyue should not have such scruples about Chen Jisheng.
But Chen Qiyue at this moment has such scruples, which can only prove that Chen Qiyue is ashamed and does not dare to argue with Chen Jisheng.
With such a weak heart, Chen Jisheng soon discovered that Chen Qiyu was wrong. He looked at Chen Qiyue unceremoniously and said, "What happened?" ”
The latter hesitated for a moment, as if he knew that he could not hide it, so he said bluntly: "The commander doesn't know, in the month since you returned, we have lost eight ships, more than 600 wounded, and more than 2,000 killed. ”
After speaking, Chen Qiyue stared at Chen Jisheng cautiously, his heart was a little fluttering, and he didn't dare to look directly at Chen Jisheng. Looking at Chen Qiyu, who was so weak-hearted, the latter's heart suddenly ignited with rage.
"Why is this happening, and why?" After a brief pause, Chen Jisheng asked in a deep voice.
"Alas! It was all my carelessness that led to the success of the sneak attack by those damn Yiren. Chen Qi let out a heavy sigh even more.
His brows were twisted into a line, and Chen Jisheng looked at Chen Qiyu in puzzlement. According to his understanding of Chen Qiyu, there should be no such low-level mistakes. But now Chen Qiyue said such a fact, and Chen Jisheng's eyes were full of confusion.
Chen Qiyue's old face turned red suddenly, after this incident, he has been haunted by the shame of seeing people. At this moment, facing Chen Jisheng's confusion, he was even more ashamed.
After holding it for a while, Chen Qiyue took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, a spy came to report that a stronghold of Yi people was found on the island and reef. I didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a small stronghold as usual, so I didn't make much preparations, and directly pulled ten warships and hurried over to surround and kill. Unexpectedly, these Yi people were not only very cunning, but also made ambushes and traps. After the battle, we were surrounded and suffered heavy losses, but it was only in time that reinforcements arrived to save us. ”
Suddenly, the more Chen Qi thought of those subordinates who died in battle, he couldn't help but reddened his old eyes, and he blamed himself in his heart! This time he personally led the troops into battle, but in the end he messed up. If it weren't for the shame in his heart, it is estimated that Chen Qiyue would have committed suicide with a sword.
