Xie Qian pinched Li Dongyang's people, Liu Jian slapped his back from the side, and after a period of frantic rescue, Li Dongyang woke up quietly.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Emperor Hongji.

"Li Qing's family, why is this?"

Li Dongyang cried and choked up: "The son of the minister is on the big ship in Liangxiang." ”

"Master Li, Li Zhaoxian is in Hainan and has not come back." Miao Kui looked apologetic.

"Very well, Your Majesty! The minister is a little out of shape, but it is because he is too sad that he has lost his honor in front of the emperor, this is the last son of the minister. Li Dongyang said that he was sad and choked up again.

The ministers of the DPRK and China sighed, and Li Ge Lao was strategizing in the court and was calm and comfortable.

When it comes to family affairs, he is also a mortal after all.

Emperor Hongzhi walked back to the imperial steps, looked at Xiao Jing and Miao Kui, and frowned coldly: "What about the Zhenhaiwei and Inspection Department of Songjiang Mansion!" ”

In Songjiang Prefecture, there is a Jinshan Guard to prevent the invasion of Japanese invaders.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court and the Liangxiang caravan use big ships, and Zhenhaiwei's boats can't catch up at all." Miao Kui cried.

Jin Shanwei did not have a big ship, and all the boats he used were boats.

The big ship costs a lot of money, how can the imperial court give the little Jin Shanwei big ship.

Even there aren't many boats.

"Father-in-law Miao is right, after the sail is lifted, the big boat enters the sea with the wind, and it will be difficult for the boat to chase." Liu Jian's face was solemn.

It is extremely difficult to control the course of the boats on both sides of the sea, let alone chase these big ships.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "The top priority at the moment is to get these ships back, so that the Japanese can get these two ships, and they don't come and go freely?" ”

"I'm afraid it's extremely difficult, to enter the sea for the people, to go ashore for the people, and I can't tell the difference between the Japanese and the people." Liu Jian continued: "And the sea is vast, after these Japanese invaders enter the sea, there is no trace, and if the imperial court wants to search, I am afraid that a large number of sailors will have to be dispatched." ”

There was no large-scale sailor in Songjiang Prefecture, and the sailors of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in Guangzhou and Leizhou in Guangdong Prefecture.

Due to the long-term invasion of the southeast coast, the imperial court was unable to repel them.

The only way to do this was to send guards to prevent the Japanese from taking the case.

Xie Qian nodded and said: "The Japanese people have robbed tens of thousands of stone of grain, I am afraid that within half a year, there is no need to dock to replenish them, if you want to find them at sea, you may not be able to find them by mobilizing Guangdong sailors." ”

Speaking of the Japanese invaders, it is more of a headache than the Tatars in the north.

The northern territory was defended by fierce generals like Wang Yue.

Although the Tatars rushed into the pass to plunder, Wang Yue fought with the Tatars and often won battles, which spiritually gave the court and the people of the border cities great confidence.

As long as Wang Yue is there, he is not afraid of the Tatars.

The Japanese invaders, on the other hand, have never won a battle in the true sense of the word on the southeast coast.

In other words, there were no generals like Wang Yue on the southeast coast who could give the imperial court spiritual dependence.

Emperor Hongzhi showed a firm gaze in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "These seven big ships must be traced back!"

Hainan is now fully opened, and in the future, it will often go by sea, so that the Japanese can get these five ships, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings! ”

Yan Chengjin felt that it made sense.

Giving the Waiko a powerful set of equipment for nothing will only make the Waiko more rampant.

The big ship in Liangxiang is actually the horse boat on Zheng He's drawings.

The length of the ship is about 37 zhang, the width is 15 zhang, if it is calculated according to later generations, it is about 120 meters long and about 45 meters wide.

After the ban on the Ming Sea, very few ships were shipped, especially large ships.

Building a ship requires government approval, and there are strict requirements for size and shape.

Pirates and pirates wanted big ships, but they couldn't buy them, so they had to rob them.

Qin Hong sighed: "I'm afraid it's not easy, the Japanese are floating on the sea, where to find a boat?" ”

Before he returned to the capital to serve as the secretary of the military department, he was the governor of Liangguang and was very familiar with the Japanese invaders.

These Japanese robbers are extremely capable of fighting, armed with samurai steel swords, and have maritime merchants to help them find out the news, which is not as simple as lip service.

The hardest part is to find the traces of these widows.

There are many small islands scattered around Guangdong, and it is possible that there are Japanese pirates hiding anywhere.

With the 100,000 people of the Guangdong Navy, if you want to find them on one island after another, you can do it.

The premise is that the household department will give enough military salaries, and the Ministry of Industry will build more than a dozen large ships.

Otherwise, with the few big ships that come and go to Hainan with the Guangdong City Bo Division, they will not be able to transport many troops, and it will not be easy to fight.

What's more, the Wako now have seven large ships, and the range they can sail is even farther.

"It would be much easier to know where the pirates are hiding." Marven stroked his beard and sighed.

Yan Chengjin thought carefully and took a step forward.

"The big ships need to be refried, and although they have food, they also need to replenish water, and the Japanese will not stay at sea, so they will definitely dock.

The minister felt that he could go to the small islands around Songjiang Mansion to search, and people could hide, but seven big ships couldn't hide. ”

Qin Hong glanced at him and was happy: "Mobilizing troops will cost food and grass, if not?" ”

"If not, you can go to the island country to have a look."

Yan Chengjin guessed that the ship was still in Songjiang Mansion.

The Wako are mainly composed of the True Wa and the Slave Wa.

Shinwa is the samurai ronin of the island country, at this time, the island country is in the Warring States period, after the daimyo was killed.

The samurai who belonged to these daimyo became ronin, and went to the sea to make a living.

From the Japanese, it is some maritime merchants and grass cowards of the Ming Dynasty.

Colluding with the Japanese to plunder merchant ships.

Emperor Hongzhi was determined to chase these seven ships back, and said solemnly: "Southeast Sailor, is there anyone who can take command?" ”

Qin Hong lowered his head in shame, and Ma Wensheng looked at the tips of his shoes.

Liu Jian twisted his beard and pretended to be calm, and Li Dongyang touched his head, indicating that he had fainted just now and had not come back to his senses.

Among the sailors in the southeast, there is really no one who can be in charge.

Yan Chengjin looked at Miao Kui with a cautious expression: "Wang Shouren didn't come back with you?" ”

Miao Kui was obviously a little angry: "After Lord Wang landed in Guangzhou Mansion, there was no news, he said that he would go all the way north, lecture all the way, and sooner or later he would return to Beijing one day, and let the slave maid report to His Majesty." ”

Lectures?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, at present, what kind of learning is this Wang Shouren, I ordered you to be the official of the scripture banquet, isn't it fragrant?

Yan Chengjin shook his head, Wang Shouren is familiar with the mandarin duck formation of the Qi family's army, and he knows the art of war, what a good opportunity for meritorious service.

There are no ministers in the court who can be used, and even if there are, they are far less good at using troops than Wang Shouren.

"How about letting the British Duke go?" Liu Jian asked.

Yan Chengjin felt that this idea was worse than the old dinner overnight.

Although the British duke was familiar with the art of war, he did not know how to command a naval army, which was like brushing his teeth with a shoe brush and washing his hair with shower gel.

If the soldiers can be amphibious and versatile, they should be called marines.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "The British Duke is not familiar with water warfare, and I am afraid that he will suffer." ”

"The minister thinks that it is better to send someone to Guangdong to find Wang Shouren and order him to find these seven ships back." Yan Chengjin Road.

At this time, the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City.

A man in a Franco costume stood by the door, it was Liu Jin.

Most of the people who enter and exit this gate are officials in the palace, and the people dare not approach here.

Liu Jin looked at the tall city wall with a grin.

Every day, the carriage that goes out to buy ingredients in the palace will return to the palace from here.

Sure enough, the little eunuch drove a few carriages and walked here.

"Bold, you dare to stop the car in the palace!" The little eunuch shouted.

Liu Jin was not in a hurry: "This poor master, please help the little one bring a message to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He took out a hundred taels of silver from his bosom and watched the little eunuch look at it intently.

"What?"

"Let's just say that our Nicholas Liu Jin is back."

East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits and was taking the time to draw cartoons about the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

The little eunuch walked in lightly, and if he disturbed the prince at this time, he would definitely be beaten, but who would let him accept other people's money.

"Your Highness, what about painting?"

Zhu Houzhao asked happily: "How is the painting?" ”

"It's so well drawn!" The little eunuch was again: "Your Highness, Nicholas Liu Jin is back." ”

What brushing?

Zhu Hou glanced at him: "This palace has heard of pulling, but I have never heard of drawing." ”

The little eunuch was extremely aggrieved: "Your Highness, it's Nicholas Liu Jin......"

Liu Jin?

Zhu Houzhao was happy and put down his pen: "What did this palace ask him to bring to the Western Regions?" ”
