Chapter 2: Sailing across the sea and setting off on the return journey

Section 14 Set sail

After Liu Yunwei listened to Lu Ying's words, he couldn't help but be furious, and secretly said in his heart: "More than 1,000 soldiers besieged the Franc Pirates with less than 100 people, and his subordinates actually killed 85 soldiers, which is equivalent to defeating a sentry of men!" ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei was even more angry, and said: "The soldiers in my battalion have never suffered such a big loss when they fought against Jiannu, and it is unreasonable to be injured by so many soldiers by the red-haired ghost today!" ”

When Qian Mingli heard that so many soldiers had been sacrificed in this battle, he also felt a pain in his heart, and said: "Little general, these soldiers who died in battle are all good, I think it is better to bury them on the spot." Don't worry, I will take care of the soldiers, and I will personally sacrifice and sweep it every year. ”

Liu Yunwei nodded with a gloomy face, and said to Qian Mingli: "Okay, then there are laborers." ”

At this time, Yuan Mingxuan also said with an unkind face: "Little general, after this battle, we have verified the sharpness of firearms with the blood donation of soldiers, which shows that our decision to equip firearms on a large scale in the Hanwei Battalion is correct." ”

Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying both nodded in agreement, and Blanco Melo on the side said: "Lord Yuan is right, it is necessary to equip the army with firearms, and the proportion of firearms in our Franco army has already far exceeded that of swords and other weapons. ”

Lu Ying snorted coldly and said, "How long have you been using firearms?" In the early years of the dynasty, that is, two hundred years ago, the army led by the general Xu Da was equipped with a large number of firearms. ”

Blanco Melo smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Haha, yes, yes." ”

Liu Yunwei didn't pay attention to the conversation between Lu Ying and Blanco Merlo, but said to Yuan Mingxuan: "Lord Yuan, then I will leave the matter of finding craftsmen to you in the future." Let the soldiers rest at the port today, and I will lead the soldiers across the sea to Shandong early tomorrow morning. ”

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said, "Although the little general is relieved, I will definitely do my best to do a good job in this matter, and I will also find a way to keep in touch with the little general in the future." ”

After everyone talked for a while, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying left the room, walked around the port, and checked the situation of the soldiers. Yuan Mingxuan continued to chat with Qian Mingli and Blanco Melo, constantly discussing some details and precautions for running the sea; The two of them also knew everything, and they did not hide anything from Yuan Mingxuan's questions.

Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying turned around for a while, and saw that the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion were resting in the post-war port according to the formation, and the wounded in the battle were also treated in time; In the distance, more than a dozen ships moored to the sea floated up and down with the waves, and Blanco Melo's surviving Franc mans were checking the condition of the ships and making final preparations for going to sea.

The two of them looked in the harbor and came to find the bridge. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and the dusk afterglow was sprinkled on the vast sea, and the scenery was very charming, as if the whole sea had turned into flowing gold; The wet, salty sea breeze blows in your face, making you feel very comfortable.

Liu Yunwei looked at the vast sea, and there was a trace of confusion in his heart, and said to Lu Ying: "You said that we will go down this way, what is the future?" Will we really be able to return to Liaodong in the future, as we said? What do I have to do? ”

Lu Ying looked at Liu Yunwei, knowing that the current mountain-like pressure was pressing on this early twenties-year-old Qianzong, and he couldn't support it anymore, after all, it was not easy to take more than 2,000 people to rampant for thousands of miles, not to mention that he had to lie down and try his courage to fight Liaodong again?

Lu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, we will definitely return to Liaodong, you just need to take the brothers step by step, you have to have confidence." ”

Liu Yunwei smiled bitterly and said, "Can I do it?" Sometimes when I think about the future, I would rather be just a soldier, as long as I carry out the orders of the superior and fight bravely to kill the enemy, and I don't have to think about other things. ”

Lu Ying sighed, patted Liu Yunwei's shoulder, and said, "Big brother, I believe that you can do it, and you have to believe it yourself." Don't forget, there are more than 2,000 soldiers behind you who are your strong backing, and there are so many brothers who live and die together with you all the way, what else do you have to fear? What you have to do is to take us all the way down, and our brothers will work together to block and kill God, and Buddha to block and kill Buddha! As long as you have faith in your heart, you will definitely be able to return to Liaodong in the future, and you will definitely be able to completely defeat Jiannu! ”

After listening to Lu Ying's words, Liu Yunwei's eyes gradually became firm, and said: "You are right, as long as our brothers work together, as long as all the soldiers sacrifice their lives to move forward, I believe that we will be able to succeed, and I believe that we will be able to defeat Jiannu." I don't believe it, the hell is really blind! ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying didn't say anything else, just quietly looked at the sea, looked at the sea and sky in the distance, and looked at the direction of Shandong on the other side, and gradually became distracted.

When night fell, the whole port was already illuminated by torches, and the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion were eating dinner around the bonfire, and Liu Yunwei, Yuan Mingxuan and others were also eating and talking with Qian Mingli and Blanco Melo. On the eve of parting, everyone is trying to remember this unforgettable night.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun had just risen above sea level, the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion began to pack their bags. Master Chen was preparing breakfast for the whole battalion with his baggage guards, and Blanco Melo was standing on the trestle and loudly commanding his subordinates to carry the supplies needed for the Hanwei battalion to go to sea onto the ten sea ships prepared by Qian Mingli.

After a while, Blanco Melo loaded all the grain and grass baggage of Hanwei's camp and some necessary baggage for going to sea onto the ship, and after carefully checking it to make sure that there was no problem, he sent someone to inform Lu Ying that the soldiers could board the ship.

At this time, the officers and men of the Hanwei battalion had already eaten breakfast, and more than 2,000 soldiers were already waiting for orders in a neat formation. After receiving Blanco Merlo's notice, Lu Ying personally found Liu Yunwei and said, "Big brother, the sea ship is ready, and the soldiers have also been assembled, please give the order of the eldest brother." ”

Liu Yunwei nodded, and then ordered: "Let the soldiers board the ship." ”

Lu Ying received a promise and went to give the order. It didn't take long for the soldiers of the battalion to board the ten sea ships prepared by Qian Mingli according to the structure, and Lu Ying also commanded his subordinates to carry the coffins of Liu Ling, his son and Xu Wanxin onto the largest of them.

Liu Yunwei, Yuan Mingxuan, Qian Mingli, and Cheng Shiyong stood on the beach, looked at the busy soldiers, and said: "Lord Yuan, outside the staff, the soldiers have begun to board the ship, and we will be separated in a while, you two should take care of yourself." ”

Qian Mingli clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, Lord Yuan, I, and the shopkeeper will definitely do our best to do things well, I wish the little general a smooth sailing, and a smooth sail from now on." ”

Yuan Mingxuan said with a smile: "The little general has a good journey, I will contact the little general in time." ”

Liu Yunwei clenched his fists and said, "Okay, Lord Yuan, take care of the staff, let's leave it at that." Then he said to Cheng Shiyong: "Brother Shiyong, Lord Yuan, I will entrust it to you." ”

Cheng Shiyong clenched his fists and said: "Little general, don't worry, the humble post and the brothers will definitely guarantee the safety of Lord Yuan, and after this matter is done, I will definitely send Lord Yuan and the craftsmen back to Sichuan with my brothers!" ”

Liu Yunwei patted Cheng Shiyong on the shoulder and said, "With Brother Shiyong here, I am absolutely relieved." When you find enough craftsmen, you will all come to Sichuan unscathed. ”

Cheng Shiyong nodded heavily.

At this time, Blanco Melo ran over after dealing with the matter at hand, hugged his fist at Liu Yunwei, and said: "I wish Mr. Liu Qian all the best, we will have a period in the future, and we will have a period in the future." ”

Liu Yunwei also returned the favor and said: "Take care of the cloth shopkeeper, Lord Yuan also asks the cloth shopkeeper to take care of it, we will have a period later." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei walked towards the sea ship and boarded the largest sea ship with Lu Ying.

At this time, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion had all boarded the sea ships, but due to the limited carrying capacity of the sea ships, the soldiers were scattered among the ten sea ships according to the structure. And Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, and Wang Dangdang all took other sea ships with their subordinates, and only Lu Ying and Liu Yunwei took the largest sea ship together.

The two stood on the side of the boat and looked at Yuan Mingxuan, Qian Mingli, Blanco Melo, and Cheng Shiyong who walked to the trestle, and waved goodbye to them.

By this time, the sailors on board had already raised their sails, and by the early morning breeze, ten ships slowly sailed out of the harbor and formed a sailing formation and sailed towards the blue sea.

Liu Yunwei looked at the land that was gradually moving away, and looked at Yuan Mingxuan and others who were gradually moving away, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still kept telling himself: "I will come back, I will come back." The day I come back will be the day of my revenge and the beginning of the fall of Jiannu! ”

Qian Mingli saw that the fleet had sailed into the deep sea, and it slowly turned into ten black dots that he could no longer see clearly, so he said to Yuan Mingxuan: "Lord Yuan, the little general, they have already gone away, let's go back to the manor first." There are so many things to do to find firearms craftsmen, so let's discuss how to proceed next. ”

Yuan Mingxuan looked at the fleet that had disappeared in the distance, sighed slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go too, this business should also start as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Yuan Mingxuan returned to the manor with Qian Mingli and Blanco Merlo, and after Cheng Shiyong and the sentry soldiers led by him returned to the manor, they also changed out of the Ming army's armor and put on the clothes of guards.
