For the pressure and grievances he has endured along the way, Wen Tianxiang vividly remembers it. Pen ร— fun ร— Pavilion www. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘๏ฝ•๏ฝ‡๏ฝ…ใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽ๏ฝ†๏ฝ

As for how much Ye Yingwu endured on his higher level, it turned out that he had never thought about this problem, but now he didn't dare to imagine. Wen Tianxiang could only confirm that Ye Yingwu had endured no less than himself over the years.

The river was mighty, lapping on the shore, and roaring incessantly.

"Aiqing, Song Rui," Ye Yingwu laughed and stretched out his hand, "We can't bear so many burdens and grievances in vain over the years, and now that we have conquered this piece of the world, we can't let our blood and sweat for so many years be sacrificed in vain." โ€

Wen Tianxiang was in a trance for a moment, and Ye Yingwu's hand was still hanging in the air, looking at Wen Tianxiang's somewhat vague expression in the rising water vapor, and said solemnly: "For thousands of years, generation after generation of heroes and emperors will lead this country and this nation to difficulties but never stop moving forward, some people want to conquer us, but we defeated them, some people want to rule us, but we pull them down from the emperor's dragon chair, generation after generation of people throw their heads and spill blood, what they do is not only their own fame and fortune, It is also so that this country and this nation can survive for thousands of generations, never be conquered by foreign races, not survive under the iron hooves of foreign races, beg bitterly, and never become slaves of the enemy, so they fight, they roar, they sacrifice, and now, it is our turn, you and I are the turn to guard this river and mountain. โ€

Wen Tianxiang trembled slightly, stretched out his hand and held Ye Yingwu's hand tightly.

All these years have passed, and both Wen Tianxiang and Ye Yingwu's hands have been ground out of calluses, but when their hands are clenched, they both feel each other's strength and temperature. After all these years of bloody fighting, Ye Yingwu is still the hot-blooded young man; After all these years of ups and downs, Wen Tianxiang is still the white-clothed scribe with great ambitions.

"Together with me, we will support the world," Ye Yingwu said solemnly, looking at Wen Tianxiang, "Song Ruiqing's family, I need you." โ€

Wen Tianxiang also showed a smile, but he didn't know if this smile was a positive answer to Ye Yingwu, or if he was laughing at his hesitation just now. At that moment, he raised his head to meet Ye Yingwu's sincere gaze, and his smile was even stronger: "The minister should go all outยทยทยทยทยทยท Only death. โ€

Ye Yingwu chuckled lightly and pointed to the fish in the soup pot: "If you don't eat this fish, it will be stewed old, come and come, I'm welcome, Aiqing also hurry up and eat it, if you don't eat it, there will be no more!" โ€

As if he wanted to respond to Ye Yingwu's words, Wen Tianxiang's stomach screamed out of place, Wen Tianxiang immediately rolled up his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is welcome, and the minister is also accompanied." โ€

Seeing Wen Tianxiang eating happily, Ye Yingwu smiled slightly, and subconsciously looked sideways.

I don't know when, the fog that had been permeating the river for a morning had slowly dispersed, and a ray of sunlight poured down from the sky and sprinkled on the surface of the river, making the entire river sparkling.

The faint green hills, which were originally hidden in the mist, were now undoubtedly revealed, and along with this mighty flowing river, they extended eastward to the end of the sky.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”--

North of Cape Comorin, layers of dark clouds, driven by the southeast wind, are getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and even the sound of wind and waves that was echoing in the ears of the officers and men of the Nanyang Fleet not long ago can be heard, and the calm on the sea is about to be broken again.

The two Ilkhanate fleets obviously realized that this time they had encountered a hard bone, and even they were at a disadvantage, so they simply gave up the plan to directly intersperse - even if Ma Yan, the commander of the land division, was in the middle of the command, he would not be stupid enough to give them this opportunity, but once the warships of the Ilkhanate blindly broke forward, they might be set on fire by the Ming warships lined up.

So the two fleets simply shrank in the direction of the coastline.

"The people of the Ilkhanate know very well that they can't fight us, so they simply shrink directly into the safe haven," the flagship captain stood beside Ma Yan, frowned and said, "There are only these two bays in this area, and the entrance is not large, for our treasure ships, only three treasure ships are allowed to enter and exit side by side, and this is still not considering the depth of the water, once the possibility of running aground is considered, at most two ships can go hand in hand at the same time, which are definitely two easy to defend and difficult to attack." โ€

"Usually our merchant fleet would choose to take shelter from the storm in this place, obviously these people from the Ilkhanate are also aware of the role of these two safe havens in this big battle," Qin Feng looked at Ma Yan with some concern, "The storm behind is about to catch up again, if we can't fight quickly, we can only try to hoist the full sails and advance to the northwest first, so that these enemies will be left behind." โ€

Ma Yan took a light breath, and now the two fleets of the Ilkhanate retreated directly to the entrance to the southern bay, while the other formed an oblique formation between the northern and southern bays. As for the three parts of the Ming Nanyang Fleet, the left flank fleet was getting closer and closer to the enemy fleet on the north side, while the right flank fleet turned around again and swooped straight for the entrance to the bay on the south side.

The flagship, surrounded by clippers, headed for the middle of the two bays.

"There are more ships in one of the enemy's ranks than there are treasure ships on either side of us," said one of the admirals anxiously, "these damned Mongol Tartars, with their advantageous location at the entrance to the bay, can completely stop us for a while, if we don't hurry up and change formation now, I'm afraid we will have to engage the enemy directly, and when the time comes, things will not be right, and it will not be so easy to get out!" โ€

Ma Yan nodded, and unconsciously the old general's forehead was also beads of sweat, and even he was a little helpless, God really didn't open his eyes, how could he let Zhang Gui's warship break down, otherwise it would not be his turn to command this naval battle. However, fortunately, the generals commanding the left and right wings - the commander of the left wing of the Royal Nanyang Fleet (division commander) Meng Buqi and the commander of the right wing Lou Ping are both veterans in the Nanyang Fleet, and as a member of the generals of the original Guangnan West Road Naval Division, he had listened to orders under Ma Yan, and there would be no disobedience to Ma Yan's orders, and he was able enough to deal with the details that Ma Yan could not take care of.

Counting this, Lou Ping is still Lou Yong's distant cousin, plus Meng Buqi, a veteran general, and the help and command of the rest of the admirals, so Zhang Gui had the courage to hand over the entire fleet to Ma Yan at that time. Such a match, coupled with Ma Yan's own calm personality and rich experience, even if it is a big deal, he will not lose.

With the change of the signal flag on the flagship, the left and right flank flotillas changed formations again, the sound of trumpets and cannons continued to echo on the sea, and the treasure ships adjusted under the escort of the flying clippers, and the left flank flotilla once again turned around and pounced directly from the north to the Ilkhanate fleet holding the southern bay, while the right flank flotilla kept adjusting its position, obviously ready to attack at any time.

As long as the Ilkhanate fleet makes a move, these clippers will pounce like wolves, even if they can't stop them, they can also entangle this enemy fleet to the death and buy time for the battle in the south.

The intentions of the Ming fleet were already obvious, concentrating on breaking through to the southern bay. Although the entrance to the southern bay was narrower and one of the Ilkhanate's fleets was already lined up outside the bay, the two Ming fleets were closer to the bay and easier to flank from both the north and south.

Ma Yan stretched out his hand and tightened his grip on the railing, in fact, this is a gamble, for the current Ming fleet, the most lethal thing is time, it is necessary to break through the array of the Ilkhanate fleet before the storm returns and kill into the bay, and Ma Rong has to gamble on time, betting that the Ming fleet will break through and defeat the enemy before the storm - the array is broken, and the fleet of the Ilkhanate is estimated to be difficult to support in the face of the upcoming wind and rain.

Looking up at the fleet assembled in an assault formation on the sea ahead, Ma Kan took a light breath, he knew that this was his best choice, and the choice he trusted the navy the most.

Nanyang Fleet, don't let a certain downset.

"Boom!" In the roaring cannons, the water column rose into the sky, and in the rolling waves, treasure ships and flying clippers rushed forward through the waves.

After a long period of formation changes and temptations, the naval battle began.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”--

Swallow Rock Head.

"Finished talking?" Welcoming Ye Yingwu to the boat, Zhao Yunshu asked softly. Hui Niang behind her also subconsciously pricked up her ears.

Ye Yingwu turned his head and watched Wen Tianxiang's carriage disappear on the horizon, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief: "It should be considered that the talks are over, but I am not sure whether Wen Songrui really agreed, but now at least he will not choose to betray so." โ€

Zhao Yunshu silently helped Ye Yingwu untie his robe and said with a smile; "The world is impermanent, people's hearts are not ancient, and it is really normal, but the concubine feels that there are many people in the world who can bear the husband and monarch, but Xianggong Wen should not do such a thing."

Stretching his waist, Ye Yingwu nodded: "Along the way, Wen Songrui's personality is still believed, but if you want to rule a country well, you need not only Wen Songrui, but also many officials, as for whether these people can still be loyal to a certain and the ideal they once insisted on and believed in, or have shifted everything to looting the people's fat and ointment or being lazy and inactive, it is unknown." โ€

"A huge country, even if the husband travels south and north every day, how can he take care of it," Zhao Yunshu shook her head, Ye Yingwu's helplessness she could also feel, but throughout the ages, officials of all dynasties have behaved like this, even if the former Song Dynasty had a rich support for honesty, it still can't stop the entire officialdom from rotting from the roots, "So for some things, even if the husband is jealous and hateful, he can only endure it first." โ€

Ye Yingwu sighed softly: "A certain is already very patient, if it were changed to before, it would be impossible for a certain person to give these guys such a long time to waver, the Praetorian Guard, the Six Gates, and the Zhenjiang Mansion Sailor outside Nanjing City, but they are not dry meals." โ€

"Otherwise, there will be no emotion of 'it's easy to fight the world, it's difficult to sit in the world'," Hui Niang tried the water temperature on the side, "Husband, take a bath and change clothes, you splashed a lot of water on your body just now, it's better to wash it." โ€

"It's okay," Hui Niang had already asked her to boil the water, and Ye Yingwu naturally followed her wishes, "By the way, Hui Niang, tell Xiao Yangzi that let the water division of Zhenjiang Mansion command Zhang Gui and others to come to meet him later, I have a few things to tell him." โ€

Zhao Yunshu frowned slightly: "Does the husband still plan to move the water division?" โ€

Ye Yingwu didn't use Zhao Yunshu's help, and he took himself off clean - he has been in the military for a long time, not only is the level of martial arts and strategy getting higher and higher, but this kind of "combat bath" belonging to soldiers is also a good job, so Ye Yingwu really can't stand this little girl's slow and logical service.

The carp caught just now splashed half of Ye Yingwu's water, although it is basically dry now, but it is impossible to say that it is comfortable, so Ye Yingwu simply washed his whole body, blew the wind by the river for a long time, and then bathed, which was the most comfortable.

"Do you want to know?" Ye Yingwu did not hesitate to expose anything in front of his own women, after all, everyone knows the roots, what is there to hide, anyway, Hui Niang was still very smart when she went out just now and took Zhao Yunwei out, and Gesang didn't know when she disappeared without a trace - these two girls are not only smart, but also very eye-catching.

Zhao Yunshu stretched out his hand and pressed the bath bucket to look at his husband: "Then you should talk about it." โ€

Ye Yingwu blinked: "I'll tell you when you come in." โ€

"Hooligans." Zhao Yunshu couldn't help but snort, but she seemed to have guessed that Ye Yingwu would say this, glanced back at the doors and windows that had been closed, took a light breath, and turned around to untie her belt, but before Zhao Yunshu could turn around, Ye Yingwu had already grabbed her arm.

"What for?" The girl was suddenly a little panicked.

Ye Yingwu said with an innocent face: "What are you doing with your back, isn't it troublesome?" โ€

Zhao Yunshu had a black line, and he couldn't wait to slap this guy's face with a harmless smile: "Husband, do you think everyone is as shameless as you?" โ€

Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes, stood up suddenly, and slid his hands directly towards Zhao Yunshu's waist, Zhao Yunshu snorted lightly, and Ye Yingwu smiled: "Shu'er is shy, then come in person, you must know that your husband is the most understanding." โ€

did not answer Ye Yingwu, but Zhao Yunshu's breathing became heavier and heavier. The clothes were fluttering, the gown slid down the smooth shoulders, the snow-white skin like mutton fat jade reflected the water, and the girl's neck was proudly raised like a swan, and at this time it was already blushing to the depths, bowing her head slightly, and her hands were a little overwhelmed and intertwined.

"What are you nervous about?" Ye Yingwu was surprised and stretched out his hand directly to the button of Zhao Yunshu's back, he was already familiar with this process, after all, it was not the first time for the two of them, and even this mandarin duck playing in the water was not unprecedented, so Zhao Yunshu's strange appearance made Ye Yingwu feel strange.

Zhao Yunshu suddenly reached out and pressed Ye Yingwu's hand, gritted his teeth, and stepped directly into the bath bucket under Ye Yingwu's gaze, the water wet her innermost clothes, and the grace that fascinated Ye Yingwu was completely revealed because the clothes were close to the skin, Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu with a heavy heart: "Husband, you answer the question just now, and there is another question about the concubine that may not matter now, but you must ask your husband." โ€

Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "I don't really plan to use the water division, but I can't help but take precautions, the six doors, the Jinyi Guard and the Praetorian Guard are the best choices in a certain hand, but those families must also understand this truth, they must know that a certain Ye Yingwu will definitely not give them too much time, once they have been uncompromising, they will definitely use the army directly, so now there will definitely be arrangements in the army, and the water division is often ignored but deadly." โ€

"Is the husband afraid that the Praetorian Guard or the Six Gates will do something against the Ming Dynasty?" Zhao Yunshu took a breath of cool air, the charm in his heart just now had dissipated completely, Ye Yingwu's intention was naturally very clear, once there was an accident in the Praetorian Guard or the six doors, then he would directly let the sailor go up.

In the midst of this turmoil, once the use of force begins, there is no room for reversal. And Zhao Yunshu also knows very well what the Praetorian Guard and the Six Gates mean, this is the most powerful hole card in Ye Yingwu's hands, and he is also the defender of Nanjing City, controlling these two is equivalent to controlling the entire Ming Center.

How dare these families have to be to dare to make a move on the confinement of these two Ye Yingwu?

As long as they do this, or even just have such thoughts, it means that they will not die with Ye Yingwu and the imperial court.
