Chapter 370: Don't raise rice worms
"Fuck you! Fast! Turn me around! Run! ”
Zheng Zhilong was anxious, he originally planned to learn to be an official - at least he had to be able to walk the figure eight steps, and by the way, he would be a little more elegant, right?
After all, he's an official of the imperial court now, isn't he?
It's just that between the world and the world, which suddenly became dark, Zheng Zhilong felt that what kind of elegance and demeanor to fuck him, where to go where the fuck should go, it was still important to save his life at the moment.
That's right, this day suddenly got dark, just like when the third prince of Nezha put away the sky in Journey to the West, the temperature dropped sharply, and the sky and the earth seemed to be filled with gloom.
At the same time, there were strong winds and torrential rains.
Zheng Zhilong has not encountered tornadoes, but he has not encountered today's situation.
Of course, it is also very likely that because he has a dragon character in his name, Tornado may have regarded him as a relative, so he has been hiding from him.
But today, this relative seemed to have turned his face, and a huge column of water came diagonally in the direction of the expeditionary fleet.
Fortunately, when it was dark, Zheng Zhilong felt that something was wrong, and the lookout kept waving from the highest mast, and then simply came up from the mast quickly and ran to tell Zheng Zhilong to turn around quickly.
Zheng Zhilong's heart was actually broken.
Before going to sea, Emperor Chongzhen specially gathered everyone together to give a lecture.
The meaning of the words is that no matter what time it is, Da Ming is the strongest backing of the big guys, and he is really going to meet an enemy who can't be handled, come back to Da Ming, and I will make decisions for everyone.
Now Zheng Zhilong really wants to hurry back to Daming to find Emperor Chongzhen, and discuss the chopping up of the Dragon King of the West Sea - if you don't give face to Your Majesty, you should go to the Dragon Scraping Platform for a while.
But the key now is to run away quickly, and the matter of the Dragon King of the West Sea can be talked about later.
But fortunately, the foundation of the South China Sea Fleet is Zheng Zhilong's pirate foundation - they are all used to waves at sea.
Although this time the idea was not very good, and they encountered a tornado that they had never seen before, the pirate-turned-naval non-commissioned officers still made the right way to deal with it - turn around, stagger the direction in which the dragon absorbs water, and run as far as possible.
At this time, thanks to the fact that these guys are driving Fuship, the handling is at present, even if the warships in the world are counted together, the strength of Fuchuan can still be ranked first.
But Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong, who were drinking in Zhu Yujian's room, were unlucky.
Now that Zhilong and the others are busy outside the cabin or in the bilge, no one can take care of these three princes.
A sudden shock made the three princes fall into a ball, and at the same time, there were also the little eunuchs waiting in the cabin, and the picture of rolling together was too beautiful for people to look at directly.
After getting used to the bumps of the big ship, a group of people helped each other to stand up.
The first to calm down was Zhu Yujian, and said to the eunuchs: "Hurry up and ask what's going on!" ”
At this time, where can Zheng Zhilong take care of the little eunuch who is not a little eunuch, and his own hand water on the bow of the ship is no different from other hands at this time, except for giving orders.
After Zheng Zhilong found the rope, he tied himself firmly to the ship, and walking back and forth on the deck at this time was looking for death.
I didn't know at all that the powerful little eunuch pushed open the hatch and came out, staggering towards the direction where Zheng Zhilong was, but Zheng Zhilong was frightened.
At this time, if a strong wind blows, it is very possible to overturn the lucky boat with a deep enough draft, not to mention a dead eunuch, it is not certain where to fly to feed the fish at that time.
The anxious Zheng Zhilong shouted: "Go back!" Go back! ”
However, the little eunuch remembered Zhu Yujian's order, and the thought in his head was that he had to ask him Zheng Zhilong for an explanation - now that the three highnesses have all fallen in the cabin, they are shocked and frightened, and you Zheng Zhilong have to give an explanation.
Zheng Zhilong is sure that he will give an explanation, but it is impossible for this eunuch to know what kind of explanation Zheng Zhilong will give.
A strong wind blew, and the little eunuch was blown up directly, and he confessed to a fart.
Zheng Zhilong and the others were tightly tied to the boat, so there was nothing wrong at this time - they were all flying kites.
After this gust of wind blew, Zheng Zhilong and the others, who fell back to the deck with a snap, already had a blue nose and swollen face, and some unlucky people were simply killed by the fall.
Zheng Zhilong couldn't care about the soreness on his body at this time, and simply shouted: "Quick! Fast! Fast! Run for Lao Tzu! Run south!! ”
Zheng Zhilong's ship was running at the front, and in addition to the sailors and soldiers on the two ships in the middle, there were weapons, ammunition and food supplies, and the other ships were carrying the soldiers who went to sea this time.
Zheng Zhilong ordered to run away, and the boats that followed followed followed suit, and they all fled to the south together.
After the fleet in a line fled for dozens of miles in the direction of the south, the dragon from afar came to absorb the water.
At this time, the gloomy sky was getting darker and darker, and the deck that could still be seen faintly was now unable to see five fingers, as if the sky had been filled with dragon water, and even the sun was obscured.
When he was smashed in the face by a small fish and two of his teeth were smashed out, Zheng Zhilong simply shut up, and at this time, he didn't need to issue any orders by himself, or that it was useless to release them himself.
The whistling wind drowned out all sounds like a shrill whistle, and it was useless to shout in your ear at this point.
Let's all ask for more blessings, what glory and wealth, what generals and princes, what sailors and slaves, there is no difference in front of the power of heaven and earth.
The only difference is probably the difference between dying early and dying later.
Fortunately, it was discovered earlier, and at this time, the dragon was already some distance away from the fleet, and except for the most unlucky tail ship, which was shot away, the remaining nine lucky ships were not too damaged.
Except for the people on the lucky boat.
On the remaining nine lucky ships, whether they were sailors or soldiers, basically everyone was injured - most of them were concentrated on the face and head.
The huge dragon sucked water and roared past, and the sky lit up little by little, and the sky that was put away by the third prince of Nezha was released again, and even the sun slowly brightened up, and then became dazzling again.
At this time, the fortune boat, which was shaking violently as if it was about to fall apart, slowly stabilized, and Zheng Zhilong, who got up from the deck, didn't care if he was injured, so he directly commanded loudly: "Quick!" Count the losses! ”
By the time the sailor came over and told Zheng Zhi that the dragon tail ship had been photographed into the sea and sunk by the dragon, Zheng Zhilong had already untied the rope on his body.
Throwing the rope in his hand on the deck, Zheng Zhilong shouted: "Hurry up and let the fucking boat go to search and rescue, and see how many are still alive!" ”
After his subordinates received the order and left, Zheng Zhilong slapped his head.
Damn, there are still three princes in the cabin - if something happens to these three uncles and nephews, the emperor will definitely not spare himself.
Although Zheng Zhilong is a pirate, he is not stupid.
Before there was a shadow of this going to sea to build a country, a prince died of illness first.
If you die here again, then what you haven't said, the Son of Heaven is immoral, God warns, and so on should come out.
Even a few days ago, when the emperor ordered himself to hunt whales, someone would turn it out and say something - the giant fish died, and the prince died.
No, before he arrived at the place, two princes died first, so it can be seen that the emperor ordered whaling to kill the princes of the world.
Whether the world will be chaotic at that time, Zheng Zhilong doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to think about it.
Anyway, I'm going to die.
The holy decree was issued by Emperor Chongzhen, but this whale was killed by himself, and he can still have a good child when the time comes?
After slapping his head and ordering his men to clean the deck and repair the damage to the ship, Zheng Zhilong strode towards the cabin.
As the fortune boat slowly stabilized, Zhu Yujian, the three of them, who stood up and were knocked down countless times, and the remaining few little eunuchs simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up - Lao Tzu didn't get up, look at how you fell!
So Zheng Zhilong, who pushed open the hatch, saw such a funny scene, a group of people were firmly grasping the things that could fix them with both hands, and their whole bodies were lying on the ground in a large shape.
Zheng Zhilong, who was secretly funny, stepped forward and helped Zhu Yujian, Zhu Cunji, and Zhu Zhuohong up, and then bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, just now the fleet encountered a dragon absorbing water, and almost couldn't escape." ”
Zhu Yujian, who had calmed down, sighed before saying, "How is the situation of the fleet now?" What is the loss? Can you continue sailing? ”
Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong, who were still a little frightened, and couldn't help but secretly praise this Zhu Yujian in his heart for being really a character, and it was not in vain that His Majesty valued him very much.
Arching his hand towards Zhu Yujian, Zheng Zhilong said: "Lord Qiyu, now that the dragon has absorbed water, it has passed.
There are not too many damaged places in the fleet, and a small repair is enough to not affect the navigation.
It's just that the last troop transport ship was scattered and sunk by the dragon's water absorption, and I don't know how many soldiers can survive. The lowly has ordered someone to save him. ”
After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong simply made his words clear: "When a dragon absorbs water at sea, such losses are already very small, and no more than half of the soldiers in that boat can survive out of ten miles."
Now he can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven, and the prince should not have too much hope. ”
Zhu Yujian's face suddenly became not very good-looking, and he took a few deep breaths before saying, "Save people first, and you can survive as much as you want." ”
After Zheng Zhilong responded, Zhu Yujian continued: "If the fleet can sail normally, we will sail normally, if not, we will find a way to return to the ship. ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "Don't worry, the prince has no problem sailing. It's just that this time due to the influence of the dragon's water absorption, it's hard to judge where we are, so we can only slowly find a way to find a piece of land first. ”
Seeing that Zhu Yu's face was worried, Zheng Zhilong comforted: "The prince is worried about supplies? ”
Zhu Yujian nodded and said, "Yes, what this king is worried about is food supplies. When we went to sea, the food we prepared was just enough for us to supply after we arrived in Malacca, and now we are already near Malacca, right? ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "What the prince said is right, we should be near Malacca now, but it is difficult to identify the direction for a while."
As for the grain, although it is not much, it is still no problem to support it for another two or three days.
What's more, there are fish in this vast sea, and just eating fish is enough for us to support for another month. ”
Zhu Yujian said worriedly: "This king is not worried about this, General Zheng has caught giant fish, so in terms of food, this king is not so worried."
What worries the king is that we don't have a lot of water. But this king also knows that drinking sea water directly will kill people, and when there is no water, what should he drink? ”
Zheng Zhilong smiled dumbly and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, seawater can't be drunk directly, but it won't be a problem to drink it in half with the water we brought."
As for the water we brought with us, if we haven't found land, we can rely on drinking fish blood, which is enough to last a few more days. ”
After saying a few more words to Zhu Yujian, Zheng Zhilong went out to arrange the aftermath.
This time, no matter what, only one ship was lost, and the three princes were fine, and that was enough.
As for the boatload of soldiers, in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, it is not so important - anyway, there are not many other things in the Ming Dynasty, but there are many people, and then recruit.
Zhu Zhuohong in the cabin said with a bitter face: "At the beginning, I said that I shouldn't do anything to go to sea to build a country, but now it's good, before I get to the place, this little life is almost lost." ”
Zhu Cunji said: "Where did King Qing come from, when Emperor Taizu Gao fought the world, the situation was not more dangerous than now?"
If the great grandfather is afraid of death, how can I come to the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty? You and I don't know where to herd the sheep now, and where can we get the glory of the king of this country? ”
Zhu Zhuohong said with a smile: "Your King Qin is not afraid of death, but don't forget, if it weren't for His Majesty to let us go to sea to build a country, wouldn't we be a vassal king in Daming at this time?" ”
Zhu Yujian glared at Zhu Zhuohong and said angrily: "What nonsense? Stay in Daming and be safe? Can't you figure out your majesty's temperament? ”
Zhu Zhuohong's heart sank, and he said curtly: "Uncle Wang is angry, it is the little nephew who has lost his words." ”
What kind of temperament does Emperor Chongzhen have, Zhu Zhuohong can also feel some by asking himself - the vassal king wants to be a pig in Daming and wait for death, and it is estimated that there will be no such good things in the future.
Even if there is, it is estimated that tricks such as slowly demoting, punishing, and even reducing fiefdoms should be called.
In short, I won't raise some useless rice worms.
Zhu Yujian said: "Put away your careful thoughts, now is not as good as in the past, it is the time for us to work together to fight the country, there are no eyes on the battle array, and if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will only die faster." ”
