Chapter 382: Infighting
Fei Xin suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization at this moment, Tang Ming clearly wanted to develop a force in secret, and Li Ba and Zhu Yong were the best candidates. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And this force established in the shadows must completely belong to Tang Ming, not subject to the constraints of the Ming Dynasty, nor sent by the emperor.
Thinking about the Tao in this, Fei Xin simply shut up and stopped talking, because this kind of thing is really not suitable to talk about, and it is also why Tang Ming didn't give Li Ba and Zhu Yong greater support, all to avoid suspicion. It's a pity that Zhu Yong and Li Ba haven't fully comprehended Hou Ye's hard work at this moment, and I hope these two guys will do their own thing, and don't waste Hou Ye's careful plan.
Tang Ming retracted his farsighted gaze, turned his senses to face Fei Xin and asked, "Things at sea are almost ready, right?" ”
As soon as he talked about the affairs at sea, Fei Xin immediately discarded the messy thoughts in his mind, and replied with a serious face: "Everything is ready, no matter how many ships and manpower the grass mustard family comes, they will definitely be called to come and go." As for those pirates, it depends on Zhu Yong's performance, according to Hou Ye's instructions, the pirates don't have too many defenses for the time being, but it is enough to make them suffer. ”
Three hundred warships and fifteen treasure ships, such a force has become a well-deserved overlord in the waters near Daming after Zheng He's fleet left. If you take into account from time to time that the strength on the surface cannot be too much, so as to attract the attention of Ming officials or people with intentions, Tang Ming's current fleet is definitely not what it is now.
As far as the number of ships is concerned, it is absolutely no problem to turn over on the current basis, but it is a pity that Tang Ming must not be able to show any too powerful intentions now. Zhu Di is a suspicious person, and his control over foreign ministers is definitely not inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang. Tang Ming understood the truth very well, so he would never dare to put himself on the cusp of the storm.
At least his apparent strength must not pose any threat to Da Ming, once he crosses this red line, Zhu Di will definitely not let Tang Ming continue to develop comfortably. The necessary means of suppression will immediately befall Tang Ming's head, such an outcome is not what Tang Ming wants, so he must keep a low profile as much as possible.
Tang Ming nodded and said no more, he was very relieved to leave everything to Fei Xin, and after chatting with Fei Xin a few more words, Tang Ming went down the tower and went back to his small western-style building alone, while Fei Xin returned to the barracks and was fully prepared for the upcoming battle tomorrow.
On the sea filled with night, the dense stars in the sky are reflected, and the sky and the earth are no longer separated from each other. Ten kilometers away from Ryukyu Island, a large fleet of ships docked due east, all the ships were lit up at night. The unique flag of the grass mustard family fluttered high, and the lights were the brightest on the command ship of the fleet.
The cabin was filled with people in an orderly manner, and there were more than twenty people in the middle of it, and in the middle were three middle-aged men with serious faces, and under them were some guys with crooked eyes and slanted eyebrows. All of them had evil on their faces, not to mention their chests and backs, and they didn't even see a serious sitting posture.
After the man in the middle of the seat suddenly coughed lightly and attracted the attention of everyone present, he said in a deep voice: "I called everyone here overnight tonight, and I believe everyone knows what is going on." I believe that everyone has heard of the strength of the Daming fleet, this attack can be described as an action of our grass mustard family, and the patriarch has already made it clear that tomorrow's battle will only be won and not defeated. So in order to be foolproof, I specially called you here tonight to reconfirm tomorrow's deployment, and if you have any thoughts or opinions, you can put them forward here! ”
At the head of the right sat a one-eyed man, with a bare head shining with oil, and a large rough hand kept rubbing back and forth on it, and his one-eyed glow shone with bloodthirst. With a heavy smell of pirates all over his body, the big man quickly glanced at the middle-aged man who had just spoken, and said in a loud voice: "The second elder seems to have forgotten a tragic past, probably a year ago, when Tang Ming had just emerged, and an ambush on him at that time was also an ambush for all our pirates, but what was the result?" We suffered heavy losses, but others were almost unscathed. If you extrapolate from this, are you and the patriarch too hasty with this action! ”
The second elder's face tightened, this was the last thing he wanted to mention about the past, and it was also that failure that made his status in the family plummet. This time he was able to have this opportunity to come out and make meritorious contributions, because of the death of the Great Elder, he was mentioned to lead the troops, otherwise he would still be hidden by the family.
was exposed by someone else's scar in front of him, the second elder immediately pulled down his face, his cold gaze kept sweeping back and forth on the big man's body, and he snorted coldly and warned: "Dog bear, if you are afraid, you can quit now, Elder Ben will never stop you, and no one else will stop you." The cold before the battle also disturbed our morale, Elder Ben felt that it was necessary for you to hand over the power of commanding the pirate fleet, and I believe that there would be people who were not afraid of Tang Ming who were willing to replace you. ”
This time it was the bear's turn to be embarrassed, since the last time he failed to ambush Tang Ming, he had already had a big gap with the second elder. He knew that the second elder had completely lost his status in the grass mustard family, and he had a few words out of his mouth as soon as his mind was hot just now, but he didn't expect this guy to still hold such a grudge, and he was going to step down as soon as he came up.
But his bear is not something that can be kneaded casually now, even if it is the second elder of the grass mustard family, his eyes opened slightly, and the bear replied in a dark voice: "If the second elder thinks that what my bear just said is wrong, then yes, I will withdraw with my brother now." ”
After saying that, the bear suddenly stood upright, swept over the other pirate leaders in the cabin with one eye, and said with a smile: "There is that brother who thinks that my bear is reasonable and wants to quit with me, now, now you can stand up and make a statement." ”
Hula, under the call of the bear, more than two-thirds of the pirate leaders actually stood up in response, and there were people behind them who stood up one after another. It is clear that the bear has the approval of the vast majority of the pirate community. The scene changed dramatically at this moment, which caught the three elders of the Grass Mustard family a little off guard.
The second elder was even more stunned on the spot, this time the grass mustard family dispatched not a lot of fleets, mainly because there was still the Watanabe family in the country, so that it could not come out, and more than half of the manpower and ships remained in the island country. This large-scale attack on Ryukyu Island relied on these pirates, who were also the main force of the attack. (To be continued.) )
