The silver beach in the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi, the sea is blue, the wind and the sun are beautiful, there are some pearl-like islands scattered, the beach by the sea shines silver in the sun, and nearly 400 marines are lined up neatly.

They were dressed in the uniform of the Daming Sailor, time flies, the three-month training has ended in the blink of an eye, each of them has shed a layer of skin, these beauties have dark complexions, but they still can't hide their beauty, even the naturally beautiful Xing Wanfang has now become Cinderella.

Lin Yi wanted to conduct a military parade with them to test the results of the training in the past three months.

The first item is diving to hold his breath, Lin Yi gave an order, and the female battalion soldiers shot their delicate bodies into the water like a fish jumping over the dragon gate, and the silver crystals were scattered on the water, and Lin Yi began to time.

There were no clocks, only incense was used to keep time, and after the prescribed time of a pillar of incense, the girls poked their heads out of the water one by one like fish burning in a river, and then made the waves splash like ducks playing in the water.

Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction, after the female battalion soldiers went ashore, they walked along the beach, from the shallow shore to the deep water shore, and the sunlight copied them to the ground together with the coconut trees, forming a vivid black and white picture of the seaside.

Then they moved on to the second project, armed swimming, from the deep water here to the opposite island within the specified time, the distance was about two thousand meters, and at the sound of an order, the female battalion officers began to check the equipment, this time the swimming must be fully armed, to bring muskets and ammunition, these are of course waterproof, in addition to a single knife and a dagger.

The timer began, the female battalion soldiers began to enter the water, Lin Yi was the first to shoot himself into the water, he had to lead the way in front, and command and supervise in the process of armed swimming.

These hundreds of female battalion soldiers, whether they are from Tiannan and Haibei, whether they are Han Chinese, Korean people, or Mongolians, whether they used to be landlubbers or can be a dog planer, now they have become master swimmers, one by one, like a crucian carp crossing the river, quickly swimming to the island in front, with a musket on their backs, a single knife in their hands, and a dagger in their mouths.

Halfway through the swimming, on the sea hundreds of meters in front, something vaguely shaped like a human head was floating, and Lin Yi shouted: "Find the target, the fight in the water begins!" ”

After hearing the order, the female battalion soldier quickly hid the dagger in her boot, stepped on the water with her feet to grasp the balance of her body, took off the musket on her body and began to aim, pulled the trigger, snapped, and there was a dense burst of gunfire, and strands of white smoke rose and dissipated on the sea surface, and a row of "heads" about 200 meters away were all shattered, submerged in the water, and disappeared on the surface of the sea.

Lin Yi stretched out his thumb to them, took his equipment and continued to swim forward, and after about a hundred meters, Lin Yi suddenly shouted again: "The cunning water thief attacks from the water, and the opponent of your choice begins!" ”

After shouting this, Lin Yi plunged into the water, and hundreds of female battalion soldiers followed his example and quickly disappeared into the sea.

Calm seas with undercurrents surging below.

Xiao Ying found a figure below the water, treading water with both feet, stabbing this figure with a single knife in his hand, his body rolled and dodged this knife, Xiao Ying's body swept over the figure, this figure swirled, with an extra dagger in his hand, and rushed towards Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying let go of the blade, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and kicked the other party out of a few meters away......

Xing Wanfang never thought that she could become a soldier of Daming, and she was also a member of the special soldier - the Marine Corps.

It's incredible to think about this legendary experience when she's alone.

Now she is under siege by two opponents underwater. She had just pushed back an opponent in front of her, but she was stopped and hugged from behind.

Her heart fluttered, and her body couldn't help but writhe like a snake, because it was a large, thick and powerful hand, and she could feel the power of the male explosion behind her.

Although she has been a soldier for so long, she is still a woman after all, and she comes from a dusty background.

When Xing Wanfang was about to feel sorry, he suddenly remembered that Master Lin had said that this is a battlefield where you live and die, so she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her military boots. She swept back, but after a moment of hesitation, she was already a few seconds slower, her wrist was grabbed, and the person behind her stepped on the water with both feet, lifting her out of the water.

"Xing Wanfang, if I were your enemy, you would have died three times!" Lin Yi let go of her and said sharply.

Pearl-like droplets of water swept across her jade-like face, and Xing Wanfang's face was already red, and even her neck was flushed. Although she was born in a green building and has been in contact with many tall men, she has never felt such powerful arms and broad chests, and the underwater hug makes her unforgettable for life.

Facing Lin Yi's aggressive gaze, Xing Wanfang didn't dare to raise her head to look at her, but just swung her slender legs slightly, stabilizing her body and not sinking below the water.

At this time, Lin Yi's gaze fell on her left arm, which was cut open by a sharp blade, and the sailor's clothes rolled up, and the red blood seeped out, staining the sea red.

"You're hurt?"

"I accidentally scratched it...... A little flesh wound is unguarded......" Xing Wanfang gritted her teeth, glanced at Lin Yi, looked at each other, she dodged again, and lowered her head.

"Go on!"

"No."

The two men sank below the surface again......

At this time, there was a sand fish dozens of meters away, and it was hungry and wanted to come to look for food, but when it swam a few meters to this side, it was so frightened that it left hungry when it saw so many aliens in this sea area......

After the armed swimming crossing was completed, it was the landing of the island to charge and fight, and three or four hundred female battalion soldiers screamed, kicked onto the wild island with earth-shattering sound, charged with muskets in their hands, and shot at the target at the same time, and then fought at close range......

After all the projects were completed, it was already late, Lin Yi took them to camp on the island, this island covers an area of 4.6 square kilometers, but the island is full of ravines, strange rocks, forests and weeds, because they are too tired during the day, the soldiers pillow the waves, listen to the waves, and soon fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a sharp whistle on the third watch, and the soldiers of the female battalion immediately woke up from their dreams, lined up neatly within minutes, and then swam back with arms.

Lin Yi was very happy because the world's first Marine Corps in the true sense of the word was officially born!

Next is the rest of the team, with their training equipment, when the sky is bright, they meet the sunrise on the sea, run back to the barracks, at the same time the guard battalion Zhang Hua They also ended the vigilance of this sea area.

Of course, Lin Yi paid attention to the news of the Eastern Expedition, and two days later Lin Yi got a report that the two armies of Mu Tianbo and Gao Guiying were invincible, and the rebels of Li Dingguo and Zheng Damu were defeated all the way, and the two Ming armies took the entire Guizhou and most of Guangxi in only three months, and the two men and horses would divide outside Wuzhou.

"They're really good, and they live up to expectations." Lin Yi was very happy, and after calculating the time, he felt that it was almost over, and asked about the progress of the training of Tianjin sailors and the progress of the shipbuilding plan of the Nanjing Shipyard.

Soon it was replied that according to the scheduled plan, the naval division had been formed, the giant ship of Nanjing had been launched, and the world's largest warship had been completed two months earlier than originally planned and launched on the Yangtze River for sea trials.

The generals congratulated one after another, and the governor of Guangxi, with the magistrates of the Yamen of the three divisions of Guangxi, knelt down on the mountain and shouted, "The Lord of the Prison Country is blessed with the sky, and the Ming Dynasty is immortal for thousands of generations, and it will be ...... forever."

Lin Yi is even more relaxed and happy, full of ambition, with such an invincible armada, he can simply sweep the world! But it will take at least a few months from the launch of the sea trial to the formation of the army, Lin Yi is a little impatient, he has set a plan for the class in three days, and he can't wait to return to Nanjing immediately.

On this day, someone came to report that it was the Portuguese envoy Edward who asked to see him, Lin Yi was stunned when he heard it, and the reporter hurriedly reported in detail, Edward is the Portuguese council member and deputy minister of commerce in the entertainment city, and also the highest chief executive.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and guessed that these colonial invaders were by no means coming, what kind of admiration? It must be a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, not well-intentioned! Now the army of the Ming Dynasty has freed up its hands, the war in the north has ended, the Manchu Tartars have been expelled, Mongolia and the dynasty and the Burma land in the south have submitted to the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yi personally supervised the division of Zheng Zhilong's judgment army to be carried out in all directions, the Yangtze River basin and the two rivers in the north, the three dukes of Jiangyin have been fighting with the rebels from the land and water, and now the west is Yungui and Liangguang, and the Ming army on the west road is about to enter Guangdong from 200,000 points on land, and the Ming Dynasty is so aggressive, the Portuguese old men must not be able to sit still, I'm about to settle accounts with them, so I might as well see him first!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately ordered to meet the Portuguese envoy.

At the Daming military camp on the coast of the Beibu Gulf, Lin Yi personally met with the Portuguese envoy Edward.

Edward's entourage of more than 200 people came on tall horses, and these people looked different from the Orientals, all of them had high noses, deep eye sockets, curly hair, and were relatively tall.

Although they called the merchant not a soldier, Edward's identity was here, and the two hundred or so entourage were all fully armed, that is, his guards, all armed with weapons, mainly sabers and muskets, all with snow-white gloves.

Especially this Edward is big, about 1.9 meters, wearing a brand new dark blue dress, wearing yellow epaulettes, black pants, black and shiny riding boots, and two round eyes purring, looking very shrewd.

There is a special person to introduce on this occasion, of course, they also bring a translator, in fact, Edward does not need a translator at all, because they have lived in the entertainment city for so many years, have been dealing with Chinese for many years, and Chinese is already very fluent.

Seeing Lin Yi, this Edward was a little shocked, he didn't expect this legendary Great Ming Prison State Lin Yi to be so young and chic, and his aura was magnificent.

Edward bowed deeply and said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, the contemptible person is the Portuguese Governor of the Entertainment City, Fotos Macedo Edward, who has taken the liberty to visit. ”

When he looked at Lin Yi, of course Lin Yi's eyes were not idle, these years the guy is not three heads and six arms, mother's legs are so long? I'm going to clean you up!

But this is not a battlefield, Edward is so polite, seeing Lin Yi is like seeing an elder, Lin Yi can't lack courtesy as a Ming prisoner, so he smiled and said: "Fortunately, welcome, welcome." ”

After the two sides have exchanged pleasantries, you let him and his two assistants into the big tent, and the guests and hosts are seated, while the rest of his entourage of course remains outside and is taken care of.

The soldiers of the women's battalion waited, the tea and snacks were put on the table, and then they withdrew, only Xiaoying, Zhezhe, and Su Moer accompanied each other in the big tent, Zhang Hua and others listened at the door of the big tent, Edward's two eyes swept over the three beauties, and then fell on Lin Yi's face, and said with a smile on his face: "The Lord of the Prison Country is dominant, and the hero is also admired!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Yi smiled indifferently, "Your Excellency speaks Chinese so well, Lin also admires it very much, dare to ask Your Excellency how many years has you been in the entertainment city?" ”

"Oh, this year has been nineteen years, I am a good person to make friends, especially like to make friends with heroes like Your Excellency, our King of Portugal is also such a person, a few days ago I returned to China to talk about Your Excellency, our King of Portugal is very respectful, I hope that our two countries will last a long time, and you are also welcome to have time to come to Portugal, and your Majesty is also looking forward to this day."

Lin Yi laughed in his heart when he heard this, you are here to pull the relationship, you want to see my attitude, and you want to go on like this for a long time, it's a dream!

"Oh, Lin is flattered, thank you Your Excellency and Your Majesty the King for your kindness and kindness, Lin will definitely visit, I heard that Lisbon is very good!"

Lisbon is the first in Portugal, and Lin Yi certainly knows it.

Seeing that Lin Yi was very talkative, and the two talked very harmoniously, Edward looked very proud, "That's natural, Lord Lin should be a well-informed person, Lisbon is to us Portugal, what Yanjing is to Daming......"

Edward introduced the political, economic and cultural culture of Lisbon, and Lin Yi listened with relish.

In the end, Lin Yi said: "This city is too desirable, there is a reluctance to talk about it, should I talk about it?" ”

"Why should Lord Jianguo be polite, if you have something to say, please speak."

"Lin has taken a fancy to this city, and plans to lease it, and he doesn't plan to lease it for a long time, 100 years is fine, of course the lease commission will not be less, you can make a price first, please go back and discuss the specific matters with your king......"

Before Lin Yi's words were finished, Edward's face was elongated, his smile froze, his eyes couldn't stop flashing Lin Yi, and he secretly said on loan to Lisbon? What a joke Your Excellency!

But Lin Yi then said very seriously: "For specific lease terms, please refer to the casino lease terms, Lin is also a good friend, and I also hope to be best friends with Your Excellency and the King of Portugal, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

When Edward saw that Lin Yi was real, he was immediately stupid, and in the end, the two of them broke up unhappily, and Lin Yi "gifted" him.

Edward didn't expect to touch the ash of his nose, a month ago he went to the palace of Nan'an, Fujian Province to meet Zheng Zhilong, he talked with Zheng Zhilong very harmoniously, the content is basically the same as the above, that is, to change the name, today he brought this set to Lin Yi again, I didn't expect to be made a roast chicken big nest neck, it seems that this prison lord Lin Yi is not Zheng Zhilong, nor is it Emperor Chongzhen, it is a bit unrealistic to want to step on two boats to maintain the status quo, if the real surname Lin really does not know the current affairs, then our great Portuguese emperor is not easy to mess with!

A few days later, Edward came to the Nan'an Mansion in Fujian for the second time to meet Zheng Zhilong, at this time Wei Malang of the Dutch East Magic Country Company in Taiwan had just left, and after him, Tagawa Ichiro of the Sakura Country also came, and Edward and Zheng Zhilong had a long talk in a substantive sense......

Lin Yi's attitude was very clear, after sending Edward away, Lin Yi left Guangxi the next day with 20,000 troops such as the standard battalion, the invincible battalion, the women's battalion and the guards, entered Sichuan, and then took a boat down the river, and returned to Nanjing two months later.

At this time, a shocking news came from Zheng Zhilong's side......
