Chapter 686: Coral Reef!

~~~~~~

"Cloth shoes, straw sandals?"

Zhang Chunxue looked at Li Yuanqing suspiciously, "General, this, what's wrong with this?" ”

Looking at her bright but puzzled eyes, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile faintly: "Chunxue, this is actually very simple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHave you ever noticed what kind of shoes people wear in Brunei, including Manila and Macau? ”

Zhang Chunxue still couldn't say the doubts, and said busily: "General, it should still be mainly cloth shoes and straw shoes, right?" ”

She really never paid attention to this matter.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Not bad." Most people do wear cloth shoes and straw sandals. But ~~, white people, including some Chinese with status, natives, they basically wear leather boots. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Chunxue reacted a little, but she still couldn't find an idea, and hurriedly said: "General, what is the truth of this?" ”

I completely forgot that the military ~ uniform behind her had been untied by Li Yuanqing, and the defense line had been lost.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "White people wear leather boots, this is because this is their legend and a symbol of nobility." Sailors and soldiers, including white people, almost always wore leather boots. Because leather boots are wear-resistant, in summer, although it is hotter, it can be waterproofed, especially for boat work, leather boots are much better than cloth shoes and straw shoes. Including the sailors and sons of our immortal camp, they are also mainly wearing leather boots. ”

Zhang Chunxue said with a smile: "General, this is because we are rich in fur in Liaodi, and the cost of leather boots is lower than that of cloth shoes and straw shoes, and they are also wear-resistant. ”

Li Yuanqing laughed, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Not bad." There is also this aspect, but more, it is because leather boots are more suitable for combat. Because they're more forgiving! Let's get back to that. White aristocrats wore leather boots, which was a heritage. White soldiers, sailors wore leather boots, which was for a living. But many Chinese, including some native aristocrats, wear leather boots, which is to follow the trend. And in Brunei, including in the South Seas, a pair of leather boots is not cheap. Chunxue, have you ever seen a person wearing cloth shoes, straw sandals, and barefoot and neck, still dare to come to such a big restaurant, or a native who eats in a single room? ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Chunxue was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "General, I, I seem to have figured out some belch......"

But before she finished speaking, Li Yuanqing had already hugged her fiercely in his arms, making her breathless......

Although the indoor space is huge, the temperature ~~ quickly rises violently......

…………

In the early morning, the sky was just slightly bright, and Li Yuanqing instinctively opened his eyes.

Looking at Zhang Chunxue, who was still sleeping sweetly like a kitten in his arms, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but proudly.

After tossing him for so long, he finally got what he wanted......

Moreover, the taste was indeed much more wonderful than he imagined.

Outside the window, the rain is still falling, but it is much lighter than last night, and it should not be a large-scale storm.

This also made Li Yuanqing breathe a sigh of relief.

In later generations, there was a widely circulated lyric in the Ba Fujian region: 'Three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work!' ’

Sometimes, you just work hard, but you may not be able to find the way to real success, often~~, but also some luck.

And Li Yuanqing's luck is quite good.

Last night, the natives he caught in the restaurant were the branch of the 'Man-Eating Shark' department, to be precise, the branch where they sold stolen goods, and it was also an important branch of their stolen goods.

But because of the uneven distribution of benefits, two groups of people in the gang clashed, and blood was seen on the spot, and people died.

But it was such a tiny gap that was sensitively captured by Li Yuanqing.

This group of people not only controls the detailed information of the Man-Eating Shark Division, but also firmly controls the external financial resources of the Man-Eating Shark Division.

Coming from later generations, the media is so developed, Li Yuanqing is already very familiar with this routine.

After all, gold cannot be eaten.

This tribe of man-eating sharks is located on an isolated island, and even if they can fish, they have limited arable land, and if they want to sustain three meals, they must have outside supplies.

And Brunei, because of its geographical location, is naturally the best port.

In the past, Li Yuanqing had basically grasped the location and movement of the Man-Eating Shark Department, and he had originally delayed it for a few days to collect intelligence, mainly to make the plan more mature, but at this time, with these natives who sold the stolen goods leading the way, the time to start the project has tended to mature.

At this time, it was just over half past five, and according to the usual practice, Niu Gensheng would come over at about seven o'clock and ask him to handle official business.

Gently kissed Zhang Chunxue's cheek, Li Yuanqing was about to get up and move his body, eat some breakfast and do business, but suddenly found that Zhang Chunxue's long eyelashes were a little trembling and blinking, and his breathing was a little short.

Although she has been well disguised on the surface, how can this escape Li Yuanqing's spicy eyes?

Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, casually reached into the warm quilt, played with the firmness and fullness of her chest, and whispered to her ear and smiled: "Pretend to be asleep when you wake up?" ”

Zhang Chunxue's pretty face instantly turned red, and she opened her big eyes carefully, and was about to get up, and said in a low voice: "Master, humble duty, humble duty to serve you and dress ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Don't worry, we haven't had a morning exercise yet?" ”

"Ah......h

Zhang Chunxue wanted to say something, but the temperature in the room quickly became hot......

…………

At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Yuanqing had already cleaned up, had breakfast, and appeared in the conference room refreshed.

Zhang Chunxue is different from any of Li Yuanqing's previous wives and concubines.

She was born in the regular army of the Changsheng Battalion, underwent strict basic military training, and her physical fitness was excellent......

Although she is still a little young and far from knowing how to be a woman, Li Yuanqing believes that as long as he has a little more patience, this piece of 'lamb fat jade' will definitely be made by him.

Soon, all the generals arrived.

Because the news yesterday was so exciting, their faces were full of energy, and they wished they could leave now.

Niu Gensheng closed the door, Guan Canghai smiled and handed Li Yuanqing a few pieces of paper, and said with a smile: "General, the battle plan is here, you can take a look." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded and glanced at it quickly.

Guan Canghai said with a smile: "Everyone, I originally wanted to wait a little longer, and when the conditions are more abundant, we will be more fully prepared before we start." But at this time, the conditions are ripe, so I am ready to ask the general for battle, and I will set off today! So as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

All the generals nodded their heads.

At this time, Li Yuanqing also finished reading the battle plan, nodded with a smile and said, "We are short on time and have a heavy task." If you say anything superfluous, you won't say much! In this battle, there will be only one request, and that is -----Wanjun Thunder!" ”

All the officers straightened up, "Yes!" ”

With a night of advance preparation, everything was ready, Li Yuanqing naturally did not ink any more, after the assignment of the task, the generals quickly went to carry it out, and half an hour later, the fleet set off on time.

According to the equipment at this time, Li Yuanqing In addition to the twenty or so old Spanish warships, Li Sansheng also has Li Sansheng's side, a new Spanish main warship, and six or seven medium ships.

It's a pity, because things can't be exposed to the sun for the time being, Li Sansheng's ships can't participate in the battle at this time.

However, although the firepower of these twenty or so old Spanish warships is a little poor, it is basically a full-coverage firepower, plus there is sufficient ammunition, and there are hired white soldiers and sailors to help, and it is enough to fight the indigenous tribe of man-eating sharks.

But for the sake of safety, Li Yuanqing still brought enough 3,000 soldiers and 30 main warships of the Ming army to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Huang Guoshan stayed at the wharf, and Li Sansheng, who was hiding in the bay more than ten miles away, connected with a line, guarded the safety of the fleet, and simply bid farewell to Zhang Baozhu and his wives and concubines.

At this time, although it was stormy season, there was no major typhoon and tsunami, and with these natives leading the way, three days later, in the early morning, before dawn, the fleet arrived on time and successfully reached the outskirts of the small island of the man-eating shark department.

What is different from Li Yuanqing's imagination is that this place is not very close to the land, not directly close to the Indochina Peninsula as Li Yuanqing imagined, but in the middle of the vast sea, surrounded by dense coral reefs.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered, here, this should not be the famous Maldives in the future, right?

Although the sky is not yet dawn, the water is so translucent that you can almost easily see the bottom of the sea, and you can't help but want to go down and try how deep the water is.

A Chinese translator hurriedly said: "Li Junmen, you, don't have the idea of going into the water!" The water here is wicked! It looks very shallow, in fact, it has to be at least a few feet deep. Also, this is a shark colony, and when you smell blood, you will gather around! Those dirt dogs don't dare to go into the water easily! ”

A few zhang deep, that's at least a dozen meters.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, but he also reacted that the Maldives is in the Indian Ocean, and at this time, it may not have yet exposed the sea.

"There are so many coral reefs here, how do we get there?"

The Chinese translator hurriedly said: "The local dog said that it is the high tide at this time, and it is the best time to enter the island, and there is a path ahead, and he will lead the way for us!" ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "You tell him, lead the way well, I will be rewarded, but if you dare to be careful, I will remove his bones and feed them to the sharks!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, these natives had already realized that the tall Ming general in front of them was not easy to mess with.

Soon, they were held by more than a dozen soldiers with knives to their necks, and they got into a small boat first, leading the way in front.

At this time, by the afterglow of the moonlight, the coral reef was very dense to the naked eye, but Li Yuanqing quickly found that this eighty percent was the refraction of light, and the fleet almost encountered almost no obstacles when walking in according to the path of the small boat.

After about two miles through the coral reef, the sea suddenly opened up, and in front of me, two islands about a few miles in size, like a small dumbbell, appeared together.

The Chinese translator hurriedly said: "Li Junmen, it's time to get there!" This is where the man-eating shark tribe is located! ”

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the sun raised its head from the east, and was already about to break through the clouds, and the eastern clouds were set off red.

Li Yuanqing glanced around, the fleet had already spread out, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled slightly: "Let's start!" Don't let go of a single fish! ”

"Yes!"
