Chapter 223: Pirates Go to Sea
When the treasure ship went to sea, Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about what could be peaceful, but Zhu Houzhao thought that he seemed to have missed this opportunity to make contributions.
Zhu Houzhao said with regret: "The treasure ships have all gone to sea, and Xie Wu's kid has another chance to make contributions." ”
After a while, Zhu Houzhao asked tentatively: "Father, if you don't have a son to help Xie Wuyi, Xie Wu's kid has always been lazy, if the son doesn't supervise, the son is afraid that the kid will be lazy again." ”
I have to say that Zhu Houzhao's excuse is very clumsy.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and ignored him, and said to Xiao Jing and Mu Bin, "Pay close attention to the movement of the treasure ship." ”
Mu Bin and Xiao Jing withdrew after receiving an order from Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi said to Zhu Houzhao: "If you want to help Xie Zhiping, it's not impossible, first solve the matter of fundraising." ”
This guarantee of Emperor Hongzhi made Zhu Houzhao excited, and Zhu Houzhao asked excitedly: "Really?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi didn't pay attention to Zhu Houzhao, and looked down at the fold.
Unable to wait for Emperor Hongzhi's answer, Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Father, you can't go back on what you promised, and your son will go and solve this matter." ”
If Zhu Houzhao can solve the matter of Pingwei, then the military generals will gather prestige, and they will naturally be able to control the military generals more tightly than staying in the palace.
The ministers of civil and military affairs can master it, so that they can do a good job as the emperor.
And here, less than an hour after the treasure ship set off, the freshness of the guards in the clouds who got on the treasure ship had not passed, and they threw up one by one by holding on to the railing.
Not only these soldiers, but even Wang Shouren was pale and vomited.
However, Xu Jing seemed to be born on a boat, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Brother Shouren, this can't be done, how can you still fight with the Japanese Kou if you vomit like this."
Wang Shouren ate half of the roast chicken and vomited it out, not to mention, even the bile was about to spit out, and he didn't have the heart to answer.
In fact, it is said that the treasure ship is very stable, the wind and waves are calm, and there is no trace of wind.
After vomiting for a long time, these soldiers still had the heart to watch the beautiful scenery of the sea, and sat on the deck one by one, completely prostrating.
Wang Shouren also thought of such a situation, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Wang Shouren almost vomited, and called He Sanyou over the railing.
He Sanyou's situation is more serious than Wang Shouren's, relying on himself to be unstable at all, and he can barely stand by holding on to the railing.
"Command the brothers of the three treasure ships to go up to the deck in a relatively light condition, eat and live on it, and strictly guard against the sea to prevent the attack of the Japanese invaders, and if the situation is serious, they all go back to the cabin, and instruct the entourage to be well treated."
He Sanyou held on to the railing, barely stood firm, and replied, "Yes." ”
Although the three ships sailed together, the exchange had to be completed by the flag.
After He Sanyou received Wang Shouren's order, he quickly sent it to various treasure ships under the banner of the order.
After all, it was trained, even if it was because of seasickness and vomiting.
After the order is given, it is still able to react quickly.
Soon, the lighter seasickness was left on the decks.
Originally, there were 5,600 guards in the establishment, but because of a seasickness, more than half of them were directly knocked down, and less than 1,000 people could be left on each ship.
Fortunately, the helm of the treasure ship does not need to be the responsibility of the soldiers of the Cloud Guard.
The less than 1,000 people left in the cloud guard can all be guarded on the deck.
In fact, Wang Shouren did this just in case, and all the posts above the muzzle were all in charge of Xu Jing's people.
These people were born in the sea and understand the nature of water, although they are also a little dizzy on such a huge treasure ship, but they can still stick to their posts.
After knowing that the Ming court had sent troops, the Japanese had been paying attention to the movements at sea.
Seeing such a large treasure ship sailing from Tianjin Port, it quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese Kou.
Everyone knows that the preparation of the Ming Court at this time is not sufficient.
The sooner they attacked, the more likely they were to nip the Ming court's plan to pacify the Japanese in the cradle.
The strongest force of the Japanese is a group of forces called Zhongzhou Youzhen.
The Teng Tian family behind Zhongzhou Youzhen is a big lord of the Wa Kingdom and has strong capital.
In addition, Zhongzhou You is really ruthless, and whoever commits it in his hands has never survived, and he quickly became the overlord of the Ming coastal robbers.
Other forces with small forces have to be attached to.
Some of those who did not want to cling to it had long been wiped out by the qi.
Zhongzhou Youzhen heard the news that the treasure ship would go to sea and would arrive in Weihai immediately, and immediately found the pirates who had been cooperating with the Japanese Kou.
The treasure ship is magnificent, and they have never seen it with their own eyes.
The only thing that has ever heard of such a treasure ship is in some written accounts of the treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs.
As for the treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, they have always thought that it was an exaggeration of the Ming people.
When their people reported the news, they had to believe it, but they were also quite frightened in their hearts.
No matter how powerful this treasure ship is, it is impossible for them to test the waters themselves.
Soon, the pirates, who had made a lot of money attached to the pirates, were called.
This pirate is named Qiu Wu, in the early years, he saw that pirates could make money, so he started to make a living as a pirate, and later, with his ability, he became the largest group in the entire coast.
Naturally, to make his piracy business so big, it is inseparable from the help of the Japanese Bandits.
Now that the Japanese can use him, he will naturally come to the.
"Your Excellency..."Qiu Wu shouted with a grin as soon as he came.
Zhongzhou Youzhen's face was cold and hard, and he didn't have a good face, and said: "There is something you need to do, but I heard that the treasure ship of the Ming army sailed out of Tianjin Port, and you take people to test the water." ”
Regarding the matter of the treasure ship, Qiu Wu has already received some rumors.
Although his ship was the strongest among the pirates, it still had no advantage in front of the huge treasure ship.
When Qiu Wu heard this, he spat in his heart, but he smiled on his face, and said: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that this matter is not properly handled, I heard that the treasure ship is very huge, and it is in front of the ship, which is not worth mentioning at all." ”
What Zhongzhou Youzhen needed was Qiu Wu's power on the sea, and he knew that if he wanted to get a bargain, he needed to make good use of these pirate forces.
I don't really like people like Qiu Wu at all.
Qiu Wu refused, Zhongzhou Youzhen didn't say much, and said directly: "If the Ming Ting treasure ship arrives in Taizhou smoothly, it will inevitably be dispatched immediately, this time while it has not yet turned, it is the best time to attack its treasure ship, rest assured, in this matter, in the next meeting, our ship will assist you to a great extent, just rest assured." ”
Qiu Wu couldn't refuse, so he had to agree, and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”
Qiu Wu promised to be good in front of Zhongzhou Youzhen, but he wouldn't really go alone.
After all, if he died, the Wako would be able to find someone to work with very quickly.
But if he dies, he dies in vain.
After Qiu Wu returned, he summoned a group of pirates who were attached to him but had two hearts.
This person's name is Yi Xiu, and he has always been obedient to Qiu Wu, and he has long been thinking of replacing him.
"Brother Yi, the imperial court dispatched a treasure ship, to go to Taizhou, I heard that the ship is the first time to go to the sea, I am not very familiar, we are from Weihai, the geographical location is just right, why don't you do it here?"
Qiu Wuruo said that if he handed over the matter to Yi Xiu, Yi Xiu would definitely not agree easily, and the two cooperated, but Yi Xiu would not be able to refuse.
Then, Qiu Wu said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, although the Japanese are not interesting, but what they said is also very right, if this is not to solve this trouble, there will be no room for me to survive at that time, then the Japanese can go if they are defeated, but we have no way to retreat, so this battle must be won." ”
Qiu Wu said this, but Yi Xiu did not agree easily.
After Qiu Wu's repeated soft grinding and hard bubbles, he was finally convinced.
Although they were convinced, they were still suspicious of each other, and neither side was prepared to do their best.
From this point of view, how can such a rabble win.
After the negotiation between the two parties, the elite was retained, and the rest of the forces were set off for the Weihai Sea.
Before departure, the two parties unanimously ordered that they were not allowed to go all out, and the situation was not right, so they immediately returned to the ship.
These pirates had no desperate intentions, and with this order from above, they were ready to flee before the battle began.
