As the night grew darker and darker, dark clouds gathered overhead, and the sea was blowing with wind and waves, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to come. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Yueling was resting in the cabin, and suddenly a subordinate came down to report, saying that Zheng Yiguan asked to see him.

He frowned slightly, wasn't he in the cabin just now, didn't he discuss some important matters with the others, why did he still come alone to ask for a meeting? But it's always hard to avoid it, so you have to let people spread it.

After Zheng Yiguan entered the cabin, he bowed down to him as usual, and then sat down quietly in the chair next to him.

Although the two of them were already familiar with each other, they were alone at the moment, and the wind and waves on the sea were suddenly rising, and the room was dark, and the atmosphere seemed a little delicate, as if it had returned to that long and dreary night of captivity.

Sun Yueling cleared his dry throat and said lightly: "What happened to the first official?" ”

Zheng Yiguan's face was full of hesitation, and he waited for a while, and finally said: "I really don't hide it from my lord, an official is here, and there is indeed something to confess to my lord, and an official should not keep this matter in his heart and never say it." ”

Sun Yueling's heart jumped suddenly, and he felt that his voice seemed to tremble, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you remember that Dutch lieutenant Planck?" Zheng Yiguan said to himself, "He was seriously injured and did not die, and I secretly left him in the town of Geranza and became my subordinate. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Sun Yueling breathed a long sigh of relief, finally put his mind at ease, and said, "He didn't die?" Or became your subordinate? "He hadn't bothered with Planck since he took the town of Geranza, and he didn't expect him to be alive.

"Yes, sir." Zheng Yiguan continued to speak, saying, "None of us thought that this guy was going to die of his injuries that day, but unexpectedly, his vitality was very tenacious, and he actually survived to the moment when we asked the doctor to come and treat him. Before and after our war with the Dutch, Planck had been recuperating from his wounds in a hut on North Street, and was now largely healed. ”

After a pause, he said: "It's just that one of his hands and one foot is completely useless and has become a cripple." But he thanked me for saving his life, and said that from now on he would be loyal to me, train me in the musket and artillery teams, and serve me in the Ming Dynasty. I think that although he is no longer a person, he is a rare talent after all, and it may be of great use to keep it, so I kept it in the town without telling the adults. ”

After listening to this, Sun Yueling pondered for a while and said: "Yiguan, what you said is right, this person is a talent, if he can really be used by me, it is a good thing, if he can really train the musket team and artillery team for my Ming Dynasty, it is a great thing." Looking at Zheng Yiguan and said, "You did the right thing in this matter, very good." It's just that Song Ke doesn't know about this? ”

Zheng Yiguan replied: "He doesn't know, he just thinks that the captain of his musket team has sacrificed his life for the country." And Planck didn't want the news that he was still alive, so no one knew about it except for a few people at the moment. ”

"Why didn't he want the news that he was alive to get out? Doesn't he want to go back to Fort Geranza? Sun Yueling still has doubts.

Zheng Yiguan smiled and said: "My lord, I don't know, according to Planck's own words, when we broke out of Fort Geranza that night to use him as a shield, his soldiers shot him mercilessly, which made him feel very disappointed and painful, so he made up his mind to break away from the Netherlands and join our Ming side." ”

"I see." Sun Yueling shook his head with a wry smile, being shot by his own brothers, it was indeed uncomfortable, but this account always had to be counted on their heads, why was Planck so lacking in heart, and from now on he was inseparable from his own country and people?

But it doesn't matter anymore, Sun Yueling nodded and said, "Yiguan, you did a good job, Lord Ben supports you to do this." ”

This night lightning and thunder, torrential rain poured, the waves of the sea were surging endlessly, a wave had not subsided, another wave came to invade, the vast sea was stormy, one wave was too late, one wave had already passed, until the deep Pacific Ocean was darkened, and there was no end.

After tossing for most of the night, the wind and rain finally stopped, the waves were calm, and the usual calm appearance was restored.

When the sky was slightly bright, Sun Yueling was sleeping, and suddenly Dongfang Shengping pushed the door to report, saying that he had found several big ships in front, and he didn't know whether they were friends or enemies.

After hearing this, Sun Yueling hurriedly got up in his clothes and walked towards the deck. The vast sea actually bumped into a ship, no wonder Dongfang Shengping would come to inform him that they must know that their ship was still holding the government felony Xu Xinsu, and it was not ruled out that his comrades would take advantage of their return to rob people.

Coming to the deck, Sun Yueling looked ahead, the sea was foggy in the distance, and it was difficult to see far at all, but he could still see the outlines of several sea ships, which were blocking the sea in front of them.

He didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered everyone to prepare for battle in case of accidents.

As the distance narrowed, the sailor standing on the lookout seemed to see the opposite ship clearly, and excitedly shouted: "It's the merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty, it's the merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Daming's merchant ship, Sun Yueling was surprised for a while, at this time, he would actually run into Daming's merchant ship?

Nine times out of ten, these people are Xu Xinsu's accomplices, and they want to take advantage of his return to his detriment, or directly kill him and prevent him from returning to Fujian.

At the same time, his heart was suddenly shocked, could this not be the person sent by Yu Zhigao, although he and Yu Zhigao were not in harmony, but it was expected that Yu Zhigao would not be so bold as to openly send people to deal with him, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the sailor shouted again, and said, "My lord, the other party has issued a flag, and I want to get close to my lord." "The ships of the envoys are clearly flagped, and the other party should know that they are government ships at a glance.

He suddenly ordered: "Everyone should be on high alert and prepare to fight, the merchant ship on the opposite side is very likely to be played by Xu Xinsu's comrades, everyone must be on high alert, don't be careless!" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was terrified. If this is the case, then the purpose of the formation from the opposite ship is very clear, it is clear that it is to stop them above the surface and destroy them all.

At this time, Lu Wenheng also got the news, ran to the deck and said to Sun Yueling: "Sun Zhentai, is it really Xu Xinsu's party?" They still dare to do something to the envoys, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead! Could it be that the Dutch treacherously came against us again? The Dutchman's dominance left an indelible impression on him, and he still lingers on his heart to this day.

Sun Yueling smiled coldly and said: "Lord Lu, they are definitely not Dutch, in my opinion, they are either the people of Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian, or the group of Yang Tianlu, Xu Xinsu's comrade. So far, they are the only ones who dare to attack me, the envoy, above the Minhai Sea. "If it was Xu Xinsu's comrades, they might still have a chance to escape, but if it was really someone sent by Yu Zhigao in disguise, then they would definitely be unlucky and dangerous this time.

"What can I do?" Lu Wenheng's face was full of panic, and he was speechless in shock.

Hearing Sun Yueling say that this might be someone sent by Yu Zhigao, Lu Wenheng couldn't believe it, although he had heard of Sun Yueling and Yu Zhigao's discord, he still didn't believe that Yu Zhigao dared to openly send someone to deal with Sun Yueling. You must know that Sun Yueling is an official of the imperial court and an envoy of Fujian, and Yu Zhigao is obviously crazy to do this.

As the two sides approached, there was a loud "bang", and a cannonball landed on the right side of the big ship, hitting a wave several feet high, splashing everyone's faces, and the ship shook with the huge waves.

Everyone exclaimed again and again, the other party really came to deal with them, and even used cannons.

Sun Yueling ordered again, and said, "Turn the sails, speed up, and sail to the southwest with all your might." He estimated in his heart that this place should not be far from Penghu Island, and there were Ming soldiers stationed on Penghu Island, and if he could escape to Penghu Island, the enemy should not dare to chase him.

Under his command, the two ships immediately turned their sails and accelerated, heading quickly in a southwesterly direction.

There was a "bang" sound, and several shells landed in the sea on both sides of their boat, stirring up a large wave of waves. When the ship on the opposite side saw them change course, they immediately changed course, and the bow of the ship shifted to the right, speeding towards them.

Sun Yueling's Fu ship was also converted from a warship, and it was also loaded with two cannons. Under the command of Dongfang Katsuhei, the sailors had long since turned the cannons in the right direction, loaded the shells, ignited the gunpowder and began a counterattack on the enemy ships.

Amid the roar of artillery, the ships of both sides began an artillery duel. Since most of the sailors on Sun Yueling's ship were used to wait for the officers, they were negligent in training, and it was okay to ask them to operate the ship, but in terms of combat, they were far worse than the sailors on the opposite side, and none of the more than 10 shells sent out hit them, which only played a little delaying role.

With a "boom", a cannonball landed near the mainmast, which immediately blew a large hole in the ship's board, and the sail mast broke into two pieces and collapsed, and the raging flames instantly engulfed the sail mast and spread out in the center of the ship.

"It's not good, it's been shot, the sail mast is broken." The crowd exclaimed, and the sail mast was broken, which meant that the ship would lose its motivation to move and sooner or later would be overtaken by the enemy.

Sun Yueling looked back at the approaching enemy ships and shouted, "Put the dinghy and everyone move to another ship." Under his order, the soaps hurriedly lowered several small boats and hoisted all the adults down one by one.

Most of the accompanying officials knew that the situation was urgent, and they didn't care about bumping and bumping at this time, so they crowded to the side of the ship and let the soaps hang themselves down. But there were still people who ran to Sun Yueling's side instead, shouting that they wanted to fight the enemy side by side with him and live and die with the ship.

Sun Yueling glanced at them, the courage of these officials who read the books of sages is certainly admirable, but at the moment their stay will only drag themselves back, so he shouted to them: "Colleagues, if you believe Sun's words, but please take the first step, after Sun has blocked the enemy for a while, he will definitely come to meet you." Hurry up, this is the time to go! ”

When those officials heard him say this, they shouted one after another: "Lord Sun, you are really a righteous and open-minded person, and your subordinates admire you, and you will definitely have a book in the future, and spread the spirit of your lordship to the world in fighting bravely and fighting for your own ......."

Sun Yueling didn't have time to talk to them, and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, these people did not say any more, and with the support of the sailors of the soap, they suddenly got to the dinghy and headed for another sea ship.

Sun Yueling was really anxious, because he saw three speedboats on top of the warship on the opposite side, which were coming at a rapid pace, presumably to board the fortune ship to prevent them from escaping.

The three speedboats soon sailed behind the burning boat, and saw a person on one of the small boats leap high, and his body was fast, but in an instant, he had already set foot on the stern, and the cold light in his hands suddenly rose, and before he could make any movements, the soaps who prevented him from boarding the ship fell down three or four people.

What kind of person is this, who has such a high level of kung fu? Sun Yueling was secretly frightened in his heart, and hurriedly ran towards the stern of the boat, trying to stop this person.

In a matter of moments, the men of the three dinghys stepped on the stern of the ship, and in an instant the stern of the ship was occupied by the enemy.

Sun Yueling looked up, and saw that among the seven or eight people, Xu Xinsu's sworn brother Yang Tianlu was impressive, and the other few were strangely shaped, and at first glance they were good at martial arts, and a few of them looked a little good-looking, as if they had seen them somewhere before.

He really didn't guess wrong, it was Xu Xinsu's sworn brother Yang Tianlu who came to deal with them this time, but he didn't know where he invited such a master, and he was able to occupy the entire stern of the ship in an instant.

With a "whew", Yan Siqi landed on Sun Yueling's side, and shouted: "Yan Siqi is here, you dare to be presumptuous in Minhai, are you impatient?" ”

When those people heard Yan Siqi's name, they were obviously taken aback, but only one person standing in the middle smiled coldly and said lightly to Yan Siqi: "You are the 'East China Sea Dragon' Yan Siqi?" ”

Yan Siqi looked at the man proudly and said loudly: "Yes, it is Yan." I don't know who your Excellency is, and you dare to offend the imperial envoys? ”

The man looked up to the sky and smiled, and said to himself: "The line is hidden in me, and love is terrible!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Yueling shook violently, and suddenly remembered all the past in his mind, pointed to the man's hand and couldn't help trembling, and said, "You...... You are the leader of the Liaodong Chongding League, Zheng Huhuan, the 'Left Blade of the Inverted Xiao'? ”

The man's eyes flashed, and he shot at Sun Yueling and said, "I didn't expect that the officials of the Ming Dynasty actually recognized this seat?" ”

Hearing him admit it in person, Sun Yueling was filled with grief and indignation, when he and his brothers in Baishi Mountain City returned from Liaodong, his benefactor Yuan Hongdao died at the hands of Zheng Huhuan of the Chongding League, this matter was like a nightmare in his heart, every time he thought of it, he was extremely angry and could not be suppressed.

It's just that after many years, I didn't expect him to meet this person at this moment, and Zheng Huhuan still came to deal with the entire envoy group.
