Chapter 4 O9: Welcome, Salute (Ask for subscriptions, recommendations, favorites)
Lowering the sail and dropping anchor.
In the age of sailing, this was a complete abandonment of the ship's mobility.
For a warship to make such a move, it is a sign of complete hostility.
In a few moments, the Tianjin patrol battalion gave way to the waterway under the command of Cheng Xiufeng; The sails were lowered and anchored on both sides of the channel, and they quickly changed from a hostile blockade state to a welcoming and inspected state.
The speed of the transformation of the patrol battalion, and the extent of the changes before and after, is absolutely breathtaking.
Seeing that the warships of the patrol battalion were smoothly transformed into a welcoming posture, Cheng Xiufeng breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's okay. Thanks to this welcoming formation, the patrol battalion has also practiced many times.
Since it is no longer possible to intercept the Throne of Letters, let's simply change to a grand welcome.
Fortunately, he had made many preparations in advance.
"Fire a gun salute and welcome the guests."
Cheng Xiufeng's fingers lightly stroked the short hair under his chin, and he gave the order to fire the cannon unusually simply.
As soon as these unloaded salutes sounded, all the actions in front of the patrol battalion could be explained in the past, and there would be no flaws.
After all, the artillery was not even loaded with live ammunition, which can completely show that the patrol battalion has no malicious intent.
The rumbling of artillery rang out rhythmically, startling everyone who was waiting on Jane No. 1.
Seeing the flags raised by the patrol battalion warships, and noticing that there was no shell falling into the water at all, Shen Shouyao's heart was always high, so he put it back in his stomach steadily.
"Mr. Gao, please ask Your Highness on your behalf. The other side is firing a gun salute and lining up to welcome, do we slow down in response to the other party's kindness? ”
With his eyes on the binoculars, Shen Shouyao vigilantly observed every move of the patrol battalion warship, and said quickly to the high dive beside him.
The other party has already released enough kindness, and it seems a bit unreasonable not to respond in any way.
The sudden sound of cannon almost frightened Gao Qiqian to the ship.
I figured out that it was only the sound of a salute, but I couldn't help but feel furious in my heart and my face turned pale when I looked at the smoke rising from the patrol battalion's hundred warships.
"Minus ......"
Regarding Shen Shouyao's question, Gao Qiqian, who was bent on escaping quickly, instinctively blurted out.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, Gao Qiqian felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly changed his statement: "Minus ......." Oh, Captain Shen, you keep your speed the same first, and I'll go and ask Your Highness. ”
Inside the cabin
Hearing the sound of cannons, Chu Tianxing's entire body tensed. Guarding the hatch, Chu Tianxing quickly prepared for battle.
It's just that Chu Tianxing sadly found that if it was really a cannonball, no matter how high his martial arts were, it seemed to be useless. In this vast sea, the key to victory or defeat has become the ship underfoot.
This sudden discovery filled Chu Tianxing's heart with a sense of powerlessness, and his whole body became a little stiff.
"In the future," Chu Tianxing secretly swore in his heart, "If there is a future, I will never let Your Highness be exposed to such a dangerous environment again." ”
When the sound of the cannon came, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Did Cheng Xiufeng take the risk to attack?
The intelligence of the patrol battalion quickly flowed through Zhu Youzhen's heart. After the information was over, Zhu Youzhen's whole person relaxed again.
Even if Cheng Xiufeng took the risk of attacking, he was definitely not the opponent of the Xinwang Mansion. In this regard, Zhu Youzhen has extremely strong confidence.
The brothers' warehouses have infiltrated the patrol battalion very deeply. The middle and low-level officers of the patrol battalion followed the brothers' warehouse, with money and hope for promotion. What's more, Dayi is also on the side of the Brother Warehouse (Xinwangfu).
And what can the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion get by following Cheng Xiufeng, who cannot provide a way to be promoted and make a fortune?
This blatant attack on the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty is a serious crime for the Nine Clans.
There is no temptation of huge interests that make people lose their minds, why should the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion follow Cheng Xiufeng to rebel?
There are brothers in the warehouse for comparison, and I believe that Cheng Xiufeng will never be able to impress the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion just by painting cakes.
Want to buy it with real money?
That's even more impossible. It's not that Zhu Youzhen underestimated Cheng Xiufeng, Cheng Xiufeng couldn't take the bargaining chips to buy the entire patrol battalion.
Cheng Xiufeng brought the entire patrol battalion, which was the key to Zhu Youzhen's victory.
Zhu Youzhen absolutely believed in his own judgment: if Cheng Xiufeng dared to take the risk of attacking, then he would definitely be hit by the patrol battalion.
"Chu Da, take it easy, take it easy. Since Lone promised you, Lone will never go out. There is still a credit lonely. ”
Although he couldn't see Chu Tianxing's face, but seeing that Chu Tianxing's body was obviously a little tight, Zhu Youzhen lay on his back on the recliner without any image and teased lazily.
"Your Highness, the patrol battalion is firing a salute and lining up to welcome His Highness. Whether we slow down to respond, please ask Your Highness to show us. ”
Gao Qiqian's sharp voice came from outside the cabin, and the content revealed in the words made Gao Qiqian's sharp eunuch voice make people feel happy.
Hearing the voice clearly, Chu Tianxing let go of the hatch and retreated behind Zhu Youjian, his whole body obviously relaxed.
"Old fox."
Zhu Youzhen, who was completely relaxed, lightly commented on Cheng Xiufeng.
Zhu Youzhen wanted to make way for Cheng Xiu Summit, but he didn't expect Cheng Xiu Summit to do it to such an extent.
Cheng Xiufeng's welcome with such fanfare, is he ready to completely turn his back on King Fu?
Well, since Cheng Xiufeng has the intention of actively moving closer to the Xinwang Mansion, let's give him some face.
With a decision in his heart, Zhu Youzhen lay on the recliner and said lazily: "Dive, notify Shen Shouyao, and let him return the gift according to the routine." ”
Seeing that Gao Qiqian was not in a hurry to turn around, Zhu Youzhen added: "Well, Qiqian, you let the guards shout in unison, 'General Xie Cheng gives way, there will be heavy thanks in the future.'" ’
No matter how tight the time is, we can't break the hearts of those who have a heart, right? ”
deliberately waited for a few more moments, and confirmed that Zhu Youzhen had no other instructions, and then slowly turned around and went to speak.
In a short distance, high diving is to walk as slowly as you can.
Gao Qiqian was really scared in his heart. He couldn't wait that when he walked to Shen Shouyao's side, Zhen No. 1 had already successfully passed through the patrol camp line.
If you can, don't slow down!
However, no matter how slow it was, the order also reached Shen Shouyao's ears.
In the middle of the flag, the shouts of 'General Xie Cheng give way, there will be heavy thanks in the future' sounded in unison, and although the speed of Zhen No. 1 slowed down, it still resolutely kept passing through the formation.
Seeing the Jane-1 passing by the bow of the flagship, Cheng Xiufeng sighed deeply in his heart.
Even though he put on a grand welcome formation, except for King Xin's full honor guard on the deck of the Zhen No. 1, King Xin still never showed up.
In other words, Cheng Xiufeng is still not completely sure whether King Xin is really on Zhen No. 1.
That's fine, that's the best.
Cheng Xiufeng muttered: His Royal Highness King Fu, your subordinates have really done their best.
Listening to the shout of 'General Xie Cheng give way, there will be heavy thanks in the future', Cheng Xiufeng really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Behind Cheng Xiufeng, two big Buddha cannons that had not been ignited quietly watched the Jane No. 1 glide lightly under the muzzle and rush towards Tianjin Port without stopping.
