Chapter 493: The God of Capsizing
readx; At this time, the easterly wind began to blow on the sea, and a small ship took advantage of the wind to sail towards the lucky boat that Zhu Youzhen was riding. www.biquge.info The appearance of this ship is significantly different from that of the Fuchuan, the biggest difference is that there is only one main mast, and a huge square white sail is hung on the main mast, which is much simpler compared to the three masts of the Fuship.
The ship came very suddenly, and there was no flag on the bow, so it immediately aroused the vigilance of the sailors on the ship. Even the drunken Xu Laosi cheered up and shouted: "Beat the flag, ask them where they came from and what they want to do!" ”
A sailor immediately climbed to the top of the high mainmast, wrapped his legs around the mast, and raised the red and yellow flags with his free hands, repeatedly waving to the incoming ship. But the ship didn't seem to see it at all, and still sped up and rushed towards it.
Xu Laosi couldn't help but be furious when he saw it: "Where did the dog come from, he doesn't understand the rules so much, and when he saw the flag of the Zheng family's sailor, he dared to go on such a rampage!" Come on, Furlong cannon ready! ”
The sailors immediately got busy, took off the jackets of the three Furlong cannons on the left side of the ship, and hurriedly reloaded their ammunition. But it can be seen that they rarely fire cannons in ordinary times, and the proficiency of this action is far worse than that of the Qi family's army. Moreover, the Fran cannon used is only the most primitive, unlike the Qi family's army, which uses a sub-mother gun, so it is more cumbersome to load.
Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan also crowded into the window and looked out. Zhu Youzhen naturally didn't know the identity of the ship, and fantasized that he could be a Ming sailor who came to rescue the three people. But Li Zhenyan glanced at it and said nervously: "Your Highness, it's a widow!" ”
Zhu Youzhen's head "buzzed", and he secretly complained in his heart. It was unlucky enough to be kidnapped by Zheng Zhilong, but why did he meet a Japanese coward in the vast sea? This probability is too low, if I had this luck in my previous life, I am afraid that I would have won the five million jackpot a long time ago!
However, he still said with luck: "It's so far away, can you see clearly?" ”
"Your Highness, this kind of ship on the other side is called 'Sengokubune', and it is the most common ship in Japan." Li Zhenyan said in a deep voice, "In the past few years, the resurgence of the Japanese has used this kind of boat to cross the sea and plunder everywhere. ”
"A Thousand Stone Ship?" Zhu Youzhen said in surprise, "You see that our lucky ship is six hundred materials, and one material is one stone." This ship can only hold 600 stones, and the ship on the other side looks much smaller than this one, how can it carry 1,000 stones? ”
At this time, Qi Meifeng heard that there were widows, so she quickly stopped her luck and came over to watch. After seeing it, he frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's the thousand-stone ship of the Japanese Kou." The prince didn't know that the Japanese people were the most arrogant and treacherous, and often deliberately exaggerated to scare their opponents. Like this thousand-stone ship, the Qi family army has also captured it, and at best it can hold 200 stones.
"But look at their sails, don't they look very big? It stands to reason that a small boat with a large sail is easy to capsize when the wind and waves are strong. However, they relied on the good skills of the boat and deliberately made the sails so large, so under the same conditions, the speed of the Thousand Stone Ship was faster than that of the Fu Ship. ”
Zhu Youzhen listened and said nervously: "Then according to you, what do you want to do?" ”
Qi Meifeng snorted coldly and said, "They must want to seize the boat and kill people!" ”
"But this is the warship of the Zheng Clan's sailors, do they dare to mess around?" Zhu Youzhen said.
"They are cruel by nature, and they are bold enough to do anything." Qi Meifeng had already clenched the long sword path in one hand, "And the Zheng Clan's sailors are generally active in Fujian and other places, and rarely come to the Yellow Sea, maybe the Japanese will not recognize them." ”
"And what are we going to do if they fight?" Lee Jung-yeon finally asked this most crucial question.
"Wait and see." Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Although the Japanese are ferocious, Xu Laosi's gang is not weak, otherwise they would not have defeated thirty Qi family soldiers. And this ship has a Fran cannon, and the ship of the Japanese doesn't seem to have one, right? If the Wako really wanted to take the ship, they had to come up. When they are defeated, you two will show off your skills. This is called the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind! ”
The second daughter nodded again and again when she heard this, and Qi Meifeng couldn't help but praise: "The prince is now more and more in line with the art of war!" ”
"What art of war, this is no way!" Zhu Youzhen had to smile bitterly.
As he spoke, the east wind on the sea suddenly became stronger, and the thousand-stone ship quickly approached the fortune ship like an arrow from the string. When they were less than a hundred feet apart, the two sides could already see each other clearly, and they saw that the deck of the thousand-stone ship was full of Japanese swords with Japanese swords, and a white flag was raised on the bow of the ship.
"It's the Great Bodhisattva Banner of Hachiman!" A sailor familiar with the history of Japan shouted in horror.
"What is this 'Hachiman Great Bodhisattva'?" Zhu Youzhen asked inexplicably, "It looks amazing, you see that the sailor is scared!" ”
Li Zhenyan was originally very nervous, but she was amused by Zhu Youzhen's words, and couldn't help but smile: "The Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman, also known as the Great God of Hachiman, is the god of martial arts, the god of bows and arrows, and the patron saint of the Japanese emperor's clan, and is enshrined in the Ishishimizu Hachiman Palace in Kyoto, Japan. Once such a flag is raised, it means that the Japanese are determined to fight to the death until the last man. ”
"Oh, I see." Zhu Youzhen said contemptuously, "It turns out that it's not a thing. But how sacred the name 'Da Ming' is, how can this kind of Mao God steal it! From now on, we Chinese cannot call it 'Da Ming God', let alone 'Bodhisattva'. Bodhisattvas are all compassionate hearts, how can there be a reason to bless these murderous demons! ”
The two daughters were infected by Zhu Youzhen's calmness and humor, and also asked playfully: "What's that called?" ”
Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "I think this gang of widows is purely self-defeating, what flag is not good, do you have to raise this Mao God flag?" Do you think, 'flag' and 'turn' have the same sound, originally the most taboo word 'turn' in sea navigation, they not only 'turned', but also turned eight times, so they must not feed Wang Ba? Since they are willing to capsize, then this god Mao will be called the 'capsized god' in the future! ”
The three of them were chatting and laughing in the cabin, but Xu Laosi was like a great enemy. Seeing that the enemy ships were getting closer and closer, he shouted: "Fire! ”
"Knock knock!" With three deafening roars, the Furlong cannon on the ship fired several iron cannonballs high into the sky. After drawing a parabola in the air, the iron bumps fell fiercely in the direction of the Thousand Stone Ship.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Youzhen still hopes that Xu Laosi can repel the Japanese invaders. Because no matter what, Zheng Zhilong and his gang are still Chinese after all; The Wakos, on the other hand, are outright alien invaders! Therefore, he also prayed in his heart, hoping that these shells would hit the Thousand Stone Ship and blow the small boat full of Japanese Bandits to pieces.
Unfortunately, it backfired, these shells did not threaten the Thousand Stone Boat at all, but they just fell into the sea twenty or thirty feet away from the ship, causing a high splash in vain!
