Chapter 879: Killing Mighty Stick
Zhou Li hugged his clothes, walked a little heavy back to his yard, as soon as he entered the door, he was immediately surrounded by people, this afternoon, Zhou Li went to ask the emperor for guilt, his family and subordinates have been worried gathered here, waiting for news. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info for them, every minute and every second of waiting is an unspeakable torment.
"It's all right!" Looking at everyone, Zhou Li didn't wait for them to speak, so he said directly, "Everyone is gone, let's go back to our own homes, what are we doing together?" ”
Hearing that it was okay, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and left Zhou Li's house with ease. They all voted for the whole family, and if there really is a three-long and two-short, it is really going to be served in one pot.
"Father, your clothes?" Zhou Yangfan looked at the clothes Zhou Li was holding in his hand and asked with some surprise.
"I'm wearing His Majesty's clothes." Zhou Li took a deep breath: "I knelt outside His Majesty's room today to plead guilty, and my clothes were wet, so Your Majesty took my own clothes and changed them for me." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yangfan couldn't help but smile: "Father, it seems that Your Majesty still values you very much." ”
"Envy and power, the emperor is unpredictable!" Zhou Li didn't have much joy, strode back to the house, changed his clothes, and said to his wife: "Clean up Your Majesty's clothes and find a special house for them." ”
Seeing that her husband was fine, and he came back wearing His Majesty's clothes, this was naturally a great grace, and Zhou Li's wives were all smiling and went in response. Today, the whole family is worried about their fate, and by this time, they haven't even eaten dinner yet!
There were only father and son left in the house, Zhou Yangfan made tea for his father and handed it to his hand, looking at his father's worried model, he couldn't help but wonder: "Father, since these past things have been made clear, and Your Majesty is not to blame, then our past is naturally wiped clean, and Your Majesty is ambitious to build a new water division, so naturally you have to rely on your father, why do you still seem so worried?" ”
Zhou Li took a sip of tea and sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed ambitious, and ambitious, in the eyes of his father, he is a rare Ming monarch who can be relied on. ”
"Father, isn't that what you want? To tell the truth, although there are only two warships in the Daming Naval Division, these two warships are undoubtedly extremely advanced, and the son did not expect that Yu Cong actually built the model ship he sold to his father back then and has made a lot of improvements, in his son's opinion, these two warships should be the most advanced warships in the world. Although there are only two now, but in the future, there will be ten, hundred, and at that time, who else can be the opponent of the Ming Sailor in this sea, and you, as the commander of this Sailor, will inevitably become famous outside the territory, which is many times more clever than those land turtles! Zhou Yangfan said with great interest.
"You're talking about the future, not the present." Zhou Li said with some distress: "The current Baoqing Shipyard can launch at most one warship in a year, which also requires the vigorous investment of the imperial court's funds, and it is conceivable that the attention of the Ming Dynasty is not on the sea, and Your Majesty now has a mind to unify the continent." I want a hundred warships, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see them in my life. ”
"Father, there's always hope, isn't it? It's a lot better than before, and even ten of these ships, along with a few other ships, would be enough for you, father, to sail through the seas. Zhou Yangfan said.
"I have some tricks in mind, and I suggest to Your Majesty that you can go to the sea to find those weak pirates, destroy them, and seize their warships, so as to quickly increase the strength of the Great Ming Naval Division."
"Father, this is a clever plan!" Zhou Yangfan's eyes lit up, "If Your Majesty agrees to this policy, then we can show our skills, although the pirate's warships are not as good as these two warships, but they are better than the skin, and it is a shortcut to rob them!" It's just that we don't have enough sailors to serve as warriors now, and I'm afraid that we will have to wait for a long time, and even if we start recruiting sailors for combat from now, I'm afraid that we will have to train for at least half a year. ”
Zhou Li took a deep breath: "Your Majesty agreed, not only agreed, but also personally got on the boat and went to sea with us." And the sailors who served as battles were drawn from His Majesty's personal guard battalion, the Agni Death Battalion. As I was leaving, His Majesty had already instructed his personal guard general, the Horse Monkey, to select the soldiers who were able to pass through the water. ”
Zhou Yangfan was immediately dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty wants to get on board in person?" He asked, dumbfounded.
"Yes, Your Majesty will personally get on board." Zhou Li scratched his head in annoyance, "Do you say that my brain is in the water, why do you have nothing to offer such a plan to Your Majesty?" Fighting on the water, the uncertainty is greater than the land battle, the land battle, if you can't beat it, you can still run, with His Majesty's grandmaster's skills, no one can stop him, but once you get to the sea, the sea is vast, in case we lose the battle, where to run? At that time, the Zhou clan will be wiped out. ”
"I can't say yes!" Listening to the relaxed and crisp laughter of his wife and concubines and children from behind, Zhou Yangfan said firmly.
Zhou Li looked very helpless: "Your Majesty is the kind of very strong character, once you make up your mind, you can't change it at all, people like him don't regard difficulties as nothing, which is related to the emperor's experience of fighting all the way to the present, but Your Majesty, he doesn't know about naval warfare at all." That Le Gong was a person who understood, and immediately knelt down and begged His Majesty to take back his order, but His Majesty did not answer him at all. You say how I refuse, how I refuse, His Majesty the Emperor will not give me any chance to refuse at all. ”
There was silence in the room, save for the heavy breathing of two men.
After a long time, Zhou Yangfan said: "Father, I can only think of a way to let His Majesty retreat." ”
"Is there any way to make His Majesty retreat? Your Majesty has a tough temperament, what difficulty can stump him and make him take back his life? Zhou Li said distressedly.
"Father, Your Majesty, we have no choice, but those guards who go on the boat to serve as soldiers, even if they are familiar with the nature of the water, I am afraid that in this life, at most they will swim in the big rivers, and more I am afraid that they have only practiced swimming in small ponds, how can they imagine the power of the sea?" Zhou Yangfan said slowly.
"What's your idea?" Hearing this, Zhou Li's spirits perked up.
"Father, there will be a storm coming in the next few days." Zhou Yangfan walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked at the dark and dreary sky: "You go and tell Your Majesty that if you want to fight on the ship, you need to let those guards get on the ship first for some adaptation training, at least, or don't you faint?" If you get on the boat, you vomit and diarrhea one by one, you can't stand steadily, and you don't have the strength to draw your sword, then how can you fight? Even if the emperor is respected as a grandmaster, the first time he is on the sea, and encounters bad weather, he may not be comfortable. ”
"Great idea!" Zhou Li jumped up suddenly, "As long as those pro-soldiers are paralyzed on the boat one by one, Your Majesty will naturally dispel this idea." I'll go and tell Your Majesty. ”
"Father, you really care about it!" Zhou Yangfan grabbed Zhou Li, "You can't wait to find the emperor now, with a shrewd person like His Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid that I will immediately suspect your intentions, now, you eat well, drink a few glasses to celebrate, and then sleep beautifully, and tomorrow you will see His Majesty the Emperor, and make this request solemnly with Your Majesty, so as not to make Your Majesty suspicious." I have been observing the sky for the past two days, and I guess that from the day after tomorrow, the storm will come. At that time, let those proud soldiers of the pro-guard battalion have a good taste of the sea. ”
Father and son looked at each other and laughed. If the people on the ship at the beginning of the sea encounter a storm again, who will know better than them?
Two days later, the storm came as scheduled, and the docks, which had been silent for several days, suddenly became lively, and 800 soldiers of the Guards Battalion were selected from thousands of fire death battalions to serve as sailors, ready to go on board for several days of intensive training.
For Zhou Li's proposal, Qin Feng thought it was true, naturally he did not allow it, and persuaded him hard, and even sprinkled in front of Qin Feng, but Qin Feng was directly sent away by Qin Feng in the name of sending a letter to the queen.
Zhou Li looked up at the sky, the storm will come as scheduled this afternoon, and at that time, these soldiers who are now entangled and high-spirited will become soft-footed shrimp one by one, without soldiers, why does Your Majesty still follow him out to sea? The heart is proud, and the face looks extremely relaxed.
"Brethren, get on the boat and lift anchor!" He shouted loudly.
The sailors answered merrily, and did not get on the gangplank, but climbed up flexibly like monkeys on thick cables. In a moment, everyone was ready.
"Your Majesty, please get on board!" Zhou Li bowed to each other, Qin Feng smiled, and stepped onto the springboard, Huo Guang naturally accompanied each other, and the eight hundred soldiers divided into two roads and stepped on two warships respectively.
With the sound of a long horn, the huge iron anchor was twisted from the water, one of the sails was half raised, and the two battleships slowly left the dock and sailed towards the open sea.
Ma Xiangnan arrived at Baoqing Port half a day after the ship left, Baoqing Port was under the rule of Changyang County, His Majesty was in Baoqing Port, of course he had to come, after hurriedly dealing with some anxious government affairs, he hurried to Baoqing Port, but heard that His Majesty actually went to sea with the ship.
Listening to the howling wind outside the house and looking at the huge waves on the sea, Ma Xiangnan was furious, grabbed Yu Cong's collar and yelled angrily: "Why don't you stop Your Majesty?" Even if Your Majesty doesn't listen, you can't let Your Majesty go to sea if you hold his leg and roll around. ”
Yu Cong had a bitter face, "Master Ma, I want to hug it, but how can I hold it, even Grandpa Le was driven away by His Majesty!" ”
