Chapter 605: Zheng He's Message
The seaside town was originally the birthplace of Takeo, and Tang Ming built a military location here, which also saw that many of the facilities here could be used in the past. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info also has the effect of deterring Takeo, but now this seaside town has changed greatly, and there is not a single common person in the whole town, all of whom are inhabited by soldiers.
The town's former bazaar was completely torn down and transformed into a huge school yard, where the soldiers' daily training took place.
It was late afternoon when Tang Ming arrived, and there was no one to see on the school field at the moment, and the whole town seemed to be not popular, which made Tang Ming very puzzled.
The dog now also has a certain skill in observing words and feelings, and when he saw Tang Ming's expression, he knew what he meant, and then explained: "Lord, because everything on Ryukyu Island is not stable now, a large number of soldiers are needed to suppress it. Brother Fei's fleet and manpower were insufficient, so he urgently transferred manpower here. ”
Tang Ming still had some influence on this matter, it seemed that Fei Xin had also mentioned it to him, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now that Tang Ming has completely handed over military affairs to Fei Xin, unless something major happens, he will not interfere easily.
What kind of ability he has, Tang Ming knows better than anyone else, he can only predict some major events by relying on some memories of later generations. In the past, it was possible to lay the foundation with these, but now because of the butterfly effect of his arrival, history has changed dramatically.
Naturally, the history of later generations can no longer be used, and he has lost the ability to predict, and Tang Ming will not even be as good as Zhu Gaozhi. Militarily, he is an idiot, so he chose the way of employing people without suspicion and not using suspicious people.
directly handed over military affairs to Fei Xin to take care of, which also gave him enough space and freedom to play, and the current military has actually developed to a bottleneck.
It was not Tang Ming's desire to seek development purely in terms of quantity, and now he only has Jeju Island and Ryukyu Island as economic support. With such a large fleet in these two places alone, it is already very remarkable, and it will be difficult to control the expansion of the fleet in addition to waste.
Taking the elite route is currently Tang Ming's best choice, and elite soldiers must use some more advanced firearms. This is also the reason why Tang Ming biased his financial investment towards the college.
Most of the soldiers in the seaside town have been temporarily transferred, and Tang Ming originally wanted to see the soldiers, but he could only return disappointed.
Disgusted that it was too troublesome to return to the civilian wharf, Tang Ming directly asked the dog to arrange a small boat in the official wharf, wanting to return to Jeju Island from here.
Boarding a battleship, the ship gradually left the dock at the shouts of the sailors, but before it could really leave, the ship suddenly stopped.
Tang Ming, who was puzzled, soon received a report that an unidentified ship had come from outside, and it was coming towards the dock at a very fast speed. For the sake of Tang Ming's safety, he needs to wait for the person in charge of patrolling to find out the identity of the ship before deciding whether to go or not.
This is the rule, as the supreme official, Tang Ming will definitely not break it, and wait for the result with peace of mind.
But after a while, he heard a lot of commotion outside the ship, but it quickly calmed down. The dog who was in charge of guarding outside the house hurriedly came in and said, "Lord Wang, a little eunuch has come outside, claiming to be someone from Inspector Zheng's side, and asks to see you immediately and report something important." ”
As soon as he heard that it was Zheng He's subordinates who were going on a voyage, Tang Ming suddenly frowned. It has been more than a year since Zheng He left Jeju Island, and he should indeed be back soon. But how come there is only one small boat back, is there something that can't happen?
Thinking of this, Tang Ming was no longer calm, and immediately asked the dog to bring people in, and the dog turned around and went out with a promise. A moment later, a filthy little guy came in.
"Master Hou...... Woo! ”
The little guy, who was dressed in rough clothes and was already very tattered, immediately whimpered when he saw Tang Ming, and fell to his knees with a plop, snot and tears flowing, and after a Hou Ye, he couldn't cry.
The shrill voice sounded uncomfortable, the thin body smelled stinking, and the long hair was messy like a bird's nest.
Although the little guy couldn't see his face clearly at the moment, Tang Ming still recognized him at first sight. That's right, although the appearance of the person in front of him has changed a lot, he can still recognize him as the little eunuch who has been in charge of Zheng He's daily life. can be regarded as Zheng He's henchman, and that Hou Ye obviously didn't know what happened during this time.
didn't care about these trivial matters, Tang Ming shouted to stop the little eunuch's crying, and said coldly: "Father-in-law, why are you the only one who comes back, tell me what happened." ”
Tang Ming's cold drink worked, and the little eunuch obviously came back to his senses at this time, and said: "Master Hou, the superintendent he and the army are now detained in a place called the Red Sea, and their life and death are unknown. When surrounded by a large army, the overseer sent dozens of people to break through and escape, but unfortunately I was the only one who escaped, and all the others died under the fire of the other party. ”
"Red Sea ......."
When he heard the name of this place, Tang Ming thought of Egypt, a mysterious country with thousands of years of history and civilization like China.
Egypt at this time was definitely a powerful country, and in the eyes of Westerners, Egypt was the only mysterious country that could compete with the Ming Dynasty.
"Do you know who surrounded my father's fleet, and he was not in danger of his life?" Tang Ming was impatient, if Zheng He had a dispute with the Egyptian fleet, it would be very dangerous, especially on the way back.
There are not many hot air balloons and spaceships Zheng He, and the required fierce fire oil is also an unstable factor. When Zheng He was surrounded, he did not escape with a hot air balloon, but ordered someone to escape by boat to report the news, it is obvious that the hot air balloon and the spaceship have been unable to take off.
He didn't have a lot of ships this time, and they were all used as a logistics base for hot air balloons, focusing on delivering what was needed. As for the defense and firepower, it is much worse, and in such a situation, if it is surrounded by a large army, if there is no accident, it will definitely be more losses and fewer wins.
The little eunuch shook his head in the face of Tang Ming's questioning, it can be said that he didn't know anything. But after taking out a map from his bosom and opening it, he pointed to a location marked with red cinnabar on it and said: "At that time, the situation was critical, and the superintendent couldn't say much, only said to show this map to Hou Ye, and Hou Ye would know what to do." ”
The map is a hand-drawn map given to Zheng He by Tang Ming, and Tang Ming is drawn against the map in the mobile phone of later generations, and the red dot marked is the location of the Red Sea. It is also the sphere of influence of the ancient Egyptian kingdom, and it is obvious that Zheng He is surrounded by the Egyptian army at this moment. (To be continued.) )
