Cao Tai also smiled. He also did not think that the Annamites could arrange a large number of troops in Binh Chang so coincidentally. Even if the Annamites had to garrison outside the city, it would be better to be stationed in that natural port.

Because of this, he let go of his hanging heart a little, and said a few words to Lu Xian, and the two of them each boarded a small boat and headed for other ships.

By the time the two of them had just boarded the boat to return to their original ships, I had already returned to the Jingyuan, which was ridden by hundreds of soldiers of the Fuso Army. As soon as he was pulled onto the deck by a rope, he ordered a person who looked very strange despite wearing the clothes of a Ming soldier: "Go and call the North Nose Yuanxin and Nanmu Fangze on the Eagle Yang and Weiyang." ”

"Hello." The man agreed, and then gave a few words to the herald; The herald took out the small flag in his hand and waved it at two nearby ships, which also waved the flag in response. Immediately, a small boat was lowered by a rope from the Eagle Yang and the Weiyang, and an old fisherman with many years of experience in the Beibu Gulf drove the boat to the vicinity of the Jingyuan, and was pulled up by the rope again.

Beibi Yuanxin and Nanmu Fangze walked into a cabin on the Jingyuan. The cabin was small, only two feet square, with a bed, a table, four chairs, and some daily utensils on the table, and nothing more.

It was the first time for the two of them to come to the cabin of my house, and when they saw the situation in front of them, Beibi Yuanxin said with some anger: "Qingtai ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by me: "I told you before, don't call me Qingtai, call me Laiye." ”

"Yes, I'm here." Beibi Yuanxin bowed very respectfully and agreed, and continued to say angrily: "My lord, these Ming people are so disrespectful to you, and they only prepare such utensils. ”

"You also know that they are from the Ming Kingdom, and it is for the sake of me to prepare such tools for the sake of commanding the right guard of the government army before, and now leading more than 2,000 of you, if not, my treatment is estimated to be not much better than those leaders who lead thousands of people with barbarians." I said very calmly myself.

"Don't talk about this, I called the two of you here to tell you: There is still about half a day before the fleet can reach the coast of Annan, and General He has decided to land about thirty-five miles north of the city of Yi'an. Our Fuso Army was arranged to land in the second batch. ”

"If the first troops to land are at war with the Annamites, let us immediately go south and occupy the natural harbor; If the first batch of troops to land did not encounter the Annan generals, we would have set up a camp in Pingzhang to guard against the Annan army that was about to come. ”

"......, I'll also talk about He Rong's arrangement."

"My lord, this, his plan is too problematic." Beibi Yuanxin and Nanmu Fang Ze immediately saw the problems in He Rong's arrangement, just like Cao Tai, and because of their different positions, they looked more far-reaching.

"My lord, most of the Annanites don't have soldiers in Pingzhang, and even if they do, they are just dozens of people sent to deliver news; But then the natural port we want to attack must be garrisoned by the Annanes, although there will not be many soldiers, but Cao Commander only has more than 20,000 soldiers, and there is no siege weapon, even if there are ten times the number of troops, it is difficult to conquer the camp of the Annamite people, not to mention that there may not be ten times the number of soldiers. Nanmu Fangze said immediately.

"If Commander Cao storms the camp, the damage to the soldiers will be huge, and he will never spare the lives of our Fusang warriors and those southwestern barbarians." Beibi Yuanxin said with a sad and indignant face: "My lord, our two thousand people have been gathered with great difficulty, if they all die in the battle in this foreign land of Annan,......

"There's no way around it." I also came and said with a sad look on my face: "Now that the domestic situation is like this, I can only take refuge in the Ming Dynasty and follow the power of the Ming Dynasty; Even if the Ming Emperor's mind is not here, as long as he makes some contributions, he can make the warriors clothed and fed, which is much better than in China. ”

"What's more, the more than 2,000 people this time, except for the fifty samurai led by the two of you, the rest are just wild samurai recruited from the coasts of Kyushu and the West Sea (Ming Kingdom Yongming Sea, later Fusang Sea), these people live in poverty, only one sword and one life, you can have as many as you want, don't worry."

"But," Nanmu Fangze said again.

"Why, you Nanmu Fang Ze is talking like this, is it because you are greedy for life and afraid of death?" I'll say the same.

When Nanmu Fangze heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and pulled out the knife from the scabbard at his waist, and said to me: "My lord, is Nanmu Fangze a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? If you still doubt me, please order me to be given the death penalty, and I wish to repay the country in seven lifetimes and the next life. ”

"I was wrong." I also came and said: "After I come and become Nan Gong, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Hearing this, Nanmu Fang Ze put away his knife and stood up from the ground.

"My lord, if Commander Cao really wants to fill the ravine outside the natural harbor with the lives of his soldiers in order to conquer the camp, what should we do?" Beibi Yuanxin waited for Nanmu Fang Ze to stand up and asked again.

"Oops." I got up from my chair and paced around the cabin, and after a long time said, "If this happens, then we will have to fight." We must let the emperor of the Ming Kingdom know that the army of our Fuso warriors is an iron army, a steel army, and an army that can be assured to fight tough battles, so that he may be interested in the Fuso warriors, accept you, and even other things. ”

"What's more, although Fuso is small and weak, the samurai are indeed the best samurai in the world, and even for the honor of the samurai, they must not back down."

"So, Nanmu Fangze, Kitan-nasa Motoshin," I turned my head to them and said solemnly, "for the sake of the princes not to be displaced in the future, for the sake of the things conceived, and for the honor of the samurai, give the order to go down and fight hard against the Annamite people!" ”

"Yes, sir." Nanmu Fangze and Beibi Yuanxin bowed and agreed. Seeing that he had no other orders, he turned and left the cabin.

But as soon as they had gone, I drew my sword from the scabbard hanging on the cabin, pressed the back of the sword to my nose, and whispered, "I hope that all the samurai of the country will survive and enjoy the rest of the clothes." ”

……

……

At the same time, on another ship, the Tengyang, a middle-aged man with a blackened face and bamboo pipes in both ears, said a few words to a man wearing the costume of a Ming military general, and walked towards the stern of the ship after the man left the cabin below.

As soon as he reached the stern of the boat, several people with the same black faces and bamboo pipes in their ears surrounded him and asked in a very special language: "Darrudao, what did the people of the Ming Kingdom say?" ”

"They said that we were about to arrive in Annam, and we had to prepare to go ashore to fight." Darrudo said.

"It's great to finally have a war. I can't stand it anymore on the boat, so I can get off the boat and relax. ”

"You can still go headhunting! Headhunters are not allowed in the Ming Kingdom, and when they arrive in Annam, no one cares. ”

"It is said that the water and soil in Annam are similar to those in Taiwan, so there is no need to worry about not being able to adapt to them."

When a few people waited for this, they immediately chattered.

But Darrudo himself frowned. Someone saw his expression and asked, "Dahl, what's wrong with you?" Why this expression? ”

"I always feel that this battle is not easy to fight, everyone should be careful, don't just care about headhunting." Darrudo said.
