Chapter 639: Attack at Sea

Before I knew it, I had entered the wax moon, and there were still six or seven days to go before the end of the year.

Since he definitely took the boat and took the sea route and went to Yingzhou for a spin first, Xiao Rui ordered Li Yuanfang to prepare secretly. The sea route is not safer than the land route, as the saying goes, it is better to bully the mountains, not to bully the water, the sea is rough, once it encounters a storm, it will be dead. So it's important to be prepared before you travel.

Xiao Rui didn't tell others about his movements, but the wives said that this trip is expected to take more than half a year, tell them in advance, and let them have a psychological preparation, among the women, the most appeased is Yan Xiaoxiao, who is pregnant and can't accompany her, Xiao Rui took a lot of effort to let her relax, of course, the name of the child when he was born in the future has also been thought of, one boy and one girl.

Secondly, several scholars in the cabinet must be informed.

During the period when he was not in the palace, the state affairs were led by Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet, Lu Yuanzheng, Cheng Ming, Song Yingxing, Meng Tianhai, and Fang Xuanling to make decisions. In order to avoid a tie in the six-person vote, Xiao Rui has already issued an order to let Guo Ziyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, enter the cabinet.

There are seven people in the cabinet, four of them are descending figures, they are 100% loyal to Xiao Rui, they will never betray, and they will handle national affairs wholeheartedly for Xiao Rui, not to mention that Li Mingchong's granddaughter is still the imperial concubine, Lu Yuanzheng and Chen Ming are also good ministers, with them, there is no need to worry about them being anti-willful.

Of course, several of them strongly opposed Xiao Rui going out, not to mention crossing the sea to Yingzhou, the gentleman should stay in the palace honestly as the emperor if he does not stand under the dangerous wall.

It's a pity that a few people can't stop Xiao Rui, although Xiao Rui is the emperor, but he can't be comfortable, this time he will inspect Anbei and Anxi, and he will drive to conquer Qin in the future, it is impossible for him to die on the throne.

The last few people couldn't stop it, so they asked Xiao Rui to leave a testament. In this way, Xiao Rui left an edict, and once he died, he set up his eldest son as the crown prince to inherit the throne. Only then did this stop the opposition of several people.

On the other hand, relying on the powerful medicinal power of Da Huandan, Li Yuanfang also lived up to expectations and broke through the super product and became the third super product master after Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei. And Wang Dazhi has also entered the half-step super product, but his age is there, and it is difficult for him to enter the super product realm in this life.

Secondly, there are other people who work hard, such as Xiao Yan.

In order to accompany Xiao Rui out to surf, he conceived and solved the case without sleep or food, and even lived in Song Ci's house, and cooked Song Ci's "Collection of Grievances" by himself, and in this way, His Royal Highness the King of Tang's latest book "God Catches Qin Ming" was born!

The Daxia Daily was serialized, and the people's reputation exploded after seeing it, and for the first time, they found that the original investigation case could be so interesting, especially Qin Ming's superb post-mortem examination skills, which was shocking!

This book directly led to the fire of "Collection of Grievances", coupled with Xiao Rui's high praise for the value of "Collection of Grievances" in the early dynasty, and said that all the officials in charge of the case should carefully study the contents of the book, and even more so that "Records of Clearing Grievances" is out of stock!

Taking advantage of the joy of the New Year, Song Ci also cut the ribbon for the Criminal Investigation College, and Xiao Rui specially sent a handwritten congratulatory message and a plaque.

As with the junior colleges, students who graduate from the Criminal Investigation College can be given priority by the Ministry of Justice, and will be given priority to the investigation of cases in the state capitals and counties, and if they perform well, the imperial court can give them fame.

Reward fame, such as rewarding the same Jinshi and the same Gongshi, then you can pay it back! It doesn't take ten years of hard study to gain fame, and the Criminal Investigation College became an instant hit.

Of course, this also caused a huge amount of opinion, and the scholars were not willing to do so, so in order to alleviate the strong opposition of the scholars and the family, the students admitted by the School of Administration must be from a high background.

And this step immediately blocked the mouth of the reader.

After all, lifting people to go one step further is a jinshi, they can choose the imperial examination or the criminal investigation college, and the criminal investigation college is so easy to graduate?

This is a concession made by Xiao Rui, and he also knows that it will be greatly hindered to let the Criminal Investigation Academy directly recruit disciples from the cold sect, so he can only make concessions first and take his time in a hurry.

Xiao Yanlian, who completed the task, slept for a day and a night, then recovered the spirit of Ryoma, ran into the palace and asked Xiao Rui when he would leave.

Xiao Rui has also picked a good time and set off on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. At the same time, he also told Xiao Ze, the king of Wu, the news that he was going to Yingzhou, and asked them to set off together.

Xiao Ze didn't expect Xiao Rui to go with him, and he also strongly objected, thinking that Xiao Rui had just ascended the throne, and he should focus on the overall situation to avoid someone taking advantage of his absence to play conspiracy.

Xiao Rui smiled: "That's right! Give them a chance to show their feet, so that the cancer in Kyoto can be completely removed! ”

Xiao Ze couldn't be persuaded and went to Li Mingchong again, anyway, the final result was that no one could stop Xiao Rui.

When the time came to the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Rui set up a family banquet and invited the prince to observe the New Year together.

Princess Jin was unwell and couldn't come to the family banquet, it seems that she was afraid of seeing Xiao Rui, the two of them obviously didn't have any greasy, but they were misunderstood, which was really helpless. Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, was also sitting on pins and needles, and he always felt that Xiao Rui's gaze kept scanning him.

This made Xiao Lie extremely annoyed in his heart, and at the same time secretly guessed in his heart that it seemed that he didn't bring that slut, so Xiao Rui didn't like it!

That's why you don't have adultery!

What a pair of dogs and a man!

Look at Li Xiu'er, she actually sat with the concubines, Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, although the King of Chu was killed by Xiao Feng, if he didn't die, he had to be angry with you!

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made Xiao Lie full of anger.

Xiao Rui naturally didn't know that Xiao Lie had made up so much anger in his brain, if he knew, he would feel ridiculous, this guy is a talent, and it is a waste of not taking pictures.

As for the other princes, the change of King Jing Xiao Jing surprised Xiao Rui the most.

The lame Xiao Jing became a little dull, but a lot more stable, Xiao Rui chatted with him for a few words, and found that it was not as superficial as before, it seemed that he had read the book and learned something.

Xiao Rui encouraged him a few words, and he replied with a smile. In the past, it was bound to be annoyed and angry.

Keeping the New Year, the first year of the beginning of the year left, ushering in the second year of the beginning.

In the remaining few days, Xiao Rui didn't have to worry about state affairs, and he accompanied a few daughters-in-law well, but his waist was tired.

The time came to the fifth day of the first lunar month, and Xiao Rui was ready to go.

On this patrol, Xiao Rui took Li Yuanfang, Gai Zinie, Wang Dazhi, and Yan Qing to protect him, and at the same time, there were four righteous sons trained by Wang Dazhi, who were proficient in secret weapons, poison arts, light skills and other skills, and finally Ah Zhu.

Ah Zhu's disguise technique is so clever, during this time, Ah Zhu made human skin masks for Xiao Rui, Li Yuanfang and others, which can disguise their identities, so it is very useful to carry her.

In addition, Azhu also had high hopes for Lu Pheasant and others, that is, to stare at Xiao Rui, not to be fascinated by the flowers, and forget about his wife and children in the palace.

This made Xiao Rui cry and laugh, is he that kind of person?

It's a serious thing to go out on patrol by yourself, and it's not a sister who goes out, not to mention that she has such a high vision, can an ordinary woman see it? If he is a hungry person, then there are more than these concubines in the harem, and he will already be full of purple and red.

When he came to the dock, Xiao Ze's family was already waiting, Xiao Rui waved goodbye to the seven cabinet scholars who saw him off, and then got on the boat and started to set off!

This trip to Yingzhou did not have much scale, five sea ships with a length of 90 meters, and did not use the most advanced Daming treasure ship in Daxia. There were more than 4,400 men on the five ships, including excellent navy and pulpermen, and they were equipped with gunpowder and offensive equipment.

The fleet had to go all the way east, pass through Huzhou and then go northeast, about 1,400 li, to reach Yingzhou. The place where the Xia Emperor settled was in Edo, so it took a few days to get to Edo, and the whole trip took about ten days.

It was not the first time Xiao Rui had taken a boat, so he would not get seasick, but Li Yuanfang and Yan Qing were uncomfortable, vomiting a lot of meat and vegetables, and it took two or three days to recover.

It's a pity that it's winter, and the sea breeze is too cold, otherwise it's not bad to put a deck chair on the deck, eat a fruit, and enjoy the sea scenery.

According to the itinerary, the fleet was to bypass the Osumi Strait on the south side of Yingshu and then head north to the coastal dock on the east side of Edo, which was very close to Edo at that time.

Today, ships are passing around the Osumi Strait, and near the Osumi Strait there is an island called Yakushima, which is inhabited by a small number of indigenous Japanese people. But half a month ago, it wasn't very peaceful here.

Because a large number of Japanese invaders suddenly and quietly came here, the number was so large that there were seven or eight thousand people, and the ships they were carrying were not large, the largest was only more than 30 meters long, but there were many of them, enough for twenty or thirty ships, and they were densely packed on the shore of Yakushima.

The Japanese kingdom has been destroyed, Qi Jiguang is in charge of the security of the entire Yingzhou, what is the intention of so many people hiding in Yakushima?

As Xiao Rui's ship passed through the Osumi Strait, the would-be robbers immediately took action, they quickly boarded the boat, and then headed towards Xiao Rui's ship. Their bow was equipped with a sharp firing pin, and the faces of the Japanese on board were cold and cruel, and the Japanese knives in their hands were ready to kill all sides.

It turned out that this group of would-be robbers was hiding here to ambush Xiao Rui! But how did they know Xiao Rui's whereabouts?

Xiao Rui was resting in the room, when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door, and after Li Yuanfang came in, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there are enemy ships coming!" ”

"Oh, really?" Xiao Rui's face was expressionless, he couldn't see his joy or anger, and he quickly went out, and when he stood on the deck, he saw a large group of ships coming from the north, from far to near, and there were still six or seven nautical miles away from Xiao Rui's ship.

Among Wang Dazhi's four righteous sons, there were people with excellent eyesight, and they stood high and looked far away, and came down and said, "Your Majesty, the one who came is dressed as a widow!" ”

Although Xiao Rui's ship is majestic and tall, there are many Japanese people, and it is really dangerous to fight.

Xiao Rui nodded to the naval commander who led the voyage this time, he immediately notified the sea ship to stop moving forward, and then waved the flag, and all the paddle hands were dispatched, and the other four sea ships protected the middle sea ship where Xiao Rui was, and at the same time, the sea ship turned around and began to move backwards.

The leader of the Japanese people was a small man, and when he saw this scene, he laughed and said, "The Emperor of Xia is scared!" Sons, speed up and catch up, kill Emperor Xia, and reappear in the Kingdom of Wa and the Kingdom of Qi! ”

The pirates let out an excited cry and brandished their swords in their hands.

It turns out that not all of these Japanese are Japanese, but also the old people of Qi State.
