Chapter 391: Save the handsome Mao Wenlong

"Hahahaha......" Yang Reform burst out laughing, Yang Reform became interested in cultivating this "traitor".

Everyone gathered their eyes and looked at the emperor.

"With the power of me?" Yang asked Peter.

Peter. Natz was thrilled by the emperor's laughter, and was forced to look at by the emperor and did not dare to move, the authority of this emperor is far greater than that of Pope Tessie

"Your Majesty, yes, Peter. Natz is willing to be loyal to you, willing to serve you, willing to be your knight, willing to be a sword in your hand, willing to eradicate the enemy for His Majesty, and destroy the enemy......" Peter said quickly.

"Hahaha......" Yang Reform laughed again, this traitor is quite good.

Peter was even more flustered, for fear that his words would arouse the emperor's disgust, then, according to the rules of the East, the emperor had the right to kill him at any time.

“…… Oh, how many of my people there are? However, if you want me to remember you, if you want me to help you,......" Yang paused for a moment.

Peter's heart was raised to his throat.

“…… OK...... But you have to show your value, I can't help a worthless person for no reason, what's more, you are not my people yet, only when you have enough value, then your request can be fulfilled, do you understand what I mean? Yang Reform said with a smile, Yang Reform is still patient and willing to pay for cultivating "traitors", and this traitor is likely to be a key to open Nanyang.

"Your Majesty, I understand below, and I will prove to your majesty the value of below, Your Majesty, please allow me to pledge my allegiance to you, Peter is willing to be your knight......" Peter couldn't wait to climb the high branch of the emperor.

Yang Gai smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Peter, to be loyal to me, you must prove it with actions, not a word, or a ceremony, so if you want to become my knight, you must also prove it with actions, I don't need waste, and I don't need useless people, do you understand?" Yang said.

"Your Majesty, your servant understands, please give your servant a chance to prove his loyalty and courage...... Peter knelt down on his knees, put his right hand on his shoulder, bowed his head, and said earnestly and reverently.

“…… Well, there is indeed one thing that you need to do, and if you can do it successfully, then I believe that you are worthy, and if you can do it well, then I will accept your allegiance and make you my knight, and as you wish, rescue your son, of course, the matter of rescuing your son, the time is too far away, and I cannot guarantee that your son is still alive, but I will provide the necessary help, for example, I will allow you to take a fleet to get your son back, if your son dies in the Wa Kingdom, I allow you to demand compensation and punish the Wa Kingdom......" Yang said with a smile.

"Yes, my majesty, your servant is willing to serve you, thank you for your generosity, you will reap the loyalty of your servant, what does your majesty tell your servant to do?" Peter fell to his knees and said earnestly.

"Actually, I have already told you about this matter, I am currently at war with the Eastern Captives in a border area northeast of my Ming Dynasty, so I want to send a fleet up to assist in defending the city, and use the advantage of the fleet's artillery to open up a transportation and supply line, if you can keep the transportation line open, and can suppress the Eastern Captives, and give help to the soldiers defending the city, then, even if you succeed, I can accept your allegiance and make you my knight, if you do a good job, do a good job, and make a great contribution, then, I will have additional rewards, for example, I will send a fleet to accompany you to the Wa Kingdom to ask for your son...... "Yang Reform has invested in this traitor, of course, fighting Japan has always been planned, and now there is a traitor to fight the Japanese, which is better."

"Yes, my majesty, your servant will surely fulfill the mission you have given." Peter breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his adventure had succeeded, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really as rumored, quite wise, quite broad-minded, and did not despise himself because he was a "Yi person", but talked to himself with a smile.

"Okay, this is also the meaning of my summons today, do it well, do it with your heart, you do things for me, I won't let you down......" Yang Reform said a little promise. ,

"Yes, my majesty......" Peter hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, then, let's introduce your fleet......" Yang Gai said.

"Yes, my majesty......"

“…… This is Captain Rekaz, and your ship is a great battle ship of Galen with more than fifty guns, and the flagship of our fleet......" Peter began to introduce the captain of his fleet.

The captain named Rekaz, who didn't speak Chinese, listened to Peter's introduction, and with a little panic, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, muttering a bunch of "bird language".

"Your Majesty, Rekaz is greeting you......" Peter acted as interpreter.

Yang Reform didn't speak, just nodded.

"Your Majesty, this Captain Hult, his ship is a great battle ship of Galen with forty-two cannons......"

The other captain also quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

……

"Your Majesty, this is McCarthy, and his ship is a large battle ship with thirty cannons......"

……

Peter introduced the captains for a while, and finally introduced the captains.

There were six ships in total, among which Rekaz's flagship was the largest, with more than fifty cannons, followed by Holt's ship, which also had forty cannons, and then two battleships with twenty or thirty cannons, and two battleships with only a few or a dozen cannons. [A battleship, a frigate, two light cruisers, and two transport ships, for the sake of memory for book friends, I deliberately wrote about the composition level of the fleet, however, since this division had not yet been born at that time, it was not easy to use this division in the text, so I will only mention it here slightly. 】

Although it is a traffic ship, there are at least seven or eight cannons, this configuration has caught up with the artillery configuration on the ship of the Ming Dynasty's naval division, so Yang Reform did not dislike it, and the main thing to Zhenjiang Fort was to suppress it with artillery, not to jump ship to help fight naval battles, the number of artillery is the most important, so I will not dislike others for being a traffic boat, of course, there is more important, the boat must be able to go, and the boat is more important.

Yang Reform has long known the news of the ship, but after seeing these captains today, Yang Reform feels more real, the emperors are all "professional otaku", and they are always full of curiosity about the outside world.

"Peter, go with me to a place...... Otomo, go to the platform, I want to use the sand table of Zhenjiang Fort to discuss the details of the battle. "The first half of Yang Reform was said to Peter, and the second half was said to Wang Chengen, since he decided to use this traitor, then, he will start work soon, because the war over Mao Wenlong is about to start, and there is no time to take his time.

"Yes, my majesty......"

"Yes, Your Majesty ......"

"In addition, let Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong also go to the platform......" Yang Reform thought about it, and said with a frown.

"Slaves and maids obey ......"

……

Platform.

The sand table of Zhenjiang Fort is quite realistic, with oceans, rivers, mountains, cities, and armies on both sides, which makes Peter, a foreigner, stunned.

The people who came, in addition to Sun Chengzong, who must be present, also Peter, a foreigner who wants to be a knight of Yang reform, and Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong.

Yang Gengai saw that everyone had arrived, so he said solemnly.

"Everyone has arrived, then, I will tell me about my plans......" After Yang Reform finished speaking, he glanced around the platform, everyone stood straight, serious and serious, even Peter, the foreigner, also had the same example, learning from Lei Da to use their figures, try to stand their bodies straight, so as to be more upright and good-looking, but the first time he stood in the "military posture", the movements could not be in place, so the military posture was a bit nondescript.

"The significance of the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, I won't say much, the latest news now is that the east road of the Dongyu is still besieging Zhenjiang Fort, and the west road of the Dongyu, that is, the captive chief Huang Taiji, defeated Lin Dan Khan and is quickly rushing to Zhenjiang Fort, this time, they should use a batch of artillery...... You may wonder where their artillery came from, and you are not afraid of your jokes, these cannons were captured from my Ming Dynasty......" Yang Reform said this, stopped again, looked at it, and saw that the situation of everyone was fine, and continued.

"Therefore, the next battle of Zhenjiang Fort will be extremely difficult and cruel, Mao Wenlong, because Zhenjiang Fort is not big, so there are not too many soldiers to hide, and the Dongyu side, it is estimated that the strength of the troops will be as high as fifty or sixty thousand, so the disparity between the strength of the two sides is quite huge, even if there are grenades to defend the city, it will be a bloody battle, therefore, Zhenjiang Fort must have foreign aid, otherwise, it will be defeated, ......, so today I want to introduce you to a person......",

“…… This is called Peter, the commander of the fleet I recruited, and I plan to send a fleet to support Mao Wenlong, and you probably know about it, and this is the specific executor......" Yang Reform introduced, and several attendants on the platform just greeted Peter with a gaze salute, and Peter bent down to return the salute one by one.

Yang Reform pointed to the mouth of the Yalu River with a baton and said: "Peter's fleet will first reach Phi Island, after arriving at Phi Island, and then go to the mouth of the Yalu River, enter the Yalu River, and enter the Big Worm River through the Yalu River, the Big Worm River is not far upstream, it is Zhenjiang Fort, the battlefield is here, the east of Zhenjiang Fort is the Big Worm River, the north is the high mountain, and the south and west can attack the city......" Yang Reform pointed to the sand table and explained the status and position.

“…… Peter, your task is to lead the fleet, according to my instructions, against the current, to reach Zhenjiang Fort, because the east of Zhenjiang Fort is the Great Worm River, so, after reaching, your task is to use warships, artillery to open up a supply line, to ensure that supplies, personnel can timely input and output ......, of course, if you have the ability, you can even assist Zhenjiang Fort to defend the city, if you can block the south, then, the east captives can only attack the city in one direction from the west, in this way, the pressure in the city, It's going to be a lot smaller, ...... you see what I mean? Yang Gengai asked the "traitor" he had just received.

"My Majesty, your servant understands, is to lead the battleship to Zhenjiang Fort, no matter how difficult, and then open a supply line, and then bombard the southern front positions outside the city? Is it? Peter immediately repeated his battle mission.

Yang Gengai nodded, it seems that this person who can be the governor of the Netherlands in Taiwan still has some ability.

“…… That's right, but Peter, if you go this time, there will be a problem, the question of whether the river can go by sea boats, and after repeated verification, what I can determine at present is that you have four boats that should be able to reach Zhenjiang Fort through the Yalu River and the Big Worm River, and as for your flagship and the second largest ship, it may not be able to reach Zhenjiang Fort because the water in the river is too shallow...... Yang Gai said.

Yang Gengai asked several times to analyze the hydrology of Zhenjiang Fort, and found that only small boats can go up, and large warships can't, as for the flood season, it can only be said that it depends on luck, and it depends on luck, and it is obviously too early to say it now.

Peter was disappointed for a moment, and then said, "Yes, my majesty, four ships are four, and your servants can accomplish this task as well...... Peter was disappointed, but he had no choice but to quit.

“…… Well, in view of this, I will also send some Ming sailors to help you open up supply lines, import and export personnel and materials, so that you can better complete the task......" Yang Gai said.

Peter was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are really a benevolent lord...... Peter did not expect that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would actually hand over the Ming Dynasty's sailors to him to command, which was really unexpected.

Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, several people listened to it and were very dissatisfied, but the emperor didn't let him speak, so he could only hold back and stare at Peter with his eyes.

"Peter, in this battle, I will send some attendants to follow you, supervise your battle, assist you, or rather, coordinate you, I found that there are not many people in your fleet who understand the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and communication is a problem...... In addition, the squire, which is what you mean by a knight, my squire has more status than your knight......" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you know, Peter knows, squire, squire," Peter said happily .......

"Peter, the conditions for hiring your warship this time are generous, and in addition to the commission you deserve, I also make the following promises to you: first: in the course of the battle, if the battleship is destroyed by the enemy, I will build you a new one, and if it is not damaged in wartime, I will be responsible for half of it; Second, if you do a good job, I will raise your bounty; Third, the consumption of this operation, I fully replenish, I can fire as much ammunition as I want, I will replenish as much as I want, if the artillery is damaged during the battle, I will replace it for you, so, you don't have any scruples in combat, when you need to open artillery, just open the artillery, even if you bombard an enemy with a hundred cannons, I will also replenish ammunition for you......" In order to win the war, in order to effectively support Mao Wenlong, Yang Reform has made a cost. ,

Peter was overjoyed, originally, a lot of things were included in the commission, but, apparently, this time, His Majesty the Emperor of the East was very generous, giving many extra promises, it seems that the rumored generosity of the Emperor of the East is true.

"Thank you, my Majesty......" said Peter with delight.

"Hehe, and one last point, if you fight for me, brave and meritorious, then, I may consider allowing you to become naturalized, or even give you an official position, let you be an official, for those who are capable, I will never be stingy, hehe, you can ask your missionaries about my reputation......" Yang Gai said something about his reputation, and threw out another bait.

Peter was so happy that he didn't know what to say, what is this official thing in the Ming Dynasty, Peter, who is familiar with the Ming Dynasty, naturally understands that it is a great nobleman who is a man of man, this is definitely much stronger than what knightly title he obtained in Tessie, as for the reputation of the emperor, Peter has already inquired clearly, otherwise, he will not come to the emperor of the Eastern Empire.

"Your Majesty, your servant will lead the fleet forward and prove my loyalty and ability with the blood of the Eastern Captives......"

Yang Gai nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news......

……

Peter is gone, with countless promises, with infinite joy, with infinite hope.

The rest are Sun Chengzong, Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong.

Sun Chengzong was closest to the emperor and stood indifferently beside the emperor.

Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and a few people are puffed up.

Yang Gengai glanced at it and said, "Hehe, looking at the appearance of a few of you, it seems that you have objections to my arrangement?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the students don't dare." Several people replied in unison.

"Hehe, do you have all the words written on your face, Lei Dayong, tell me, how many cannons are on my Ming ship?" Yang Gengai asked.

Lei Dayong paused slightly, and replied hesitantly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Dafu ship of my dynasty has one Hongyi cannon, six thousand-pound Buddha machines, three bowl-mouth guns, and twenty thunderbolt cannons......

"Not counting the thunderbolts, how many cannons are there above the bowl? How much does the Thunderbolt weigh? Yang reformed.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of ten ......cannons, and the thunderbolt cannon weighs twenty pounds...... Lei Dayong replied with his head down.

"Ten doors? Well, that's right, my main battleship of the Ming Dynasty is only ten cannons, hehe, the battleship of the Yi people, the smallest also has seven or eight cannons, so I handed over the task of supporting Mao Wenlong to the Yi people this time, you may feel unconvinced, or you may feel that it insults the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, in fact, why don't I think so? But is just thinking about it enough to solve the problem? Mao Wenlong's situation, you are in the General Staff, you should know best, Mao Wenlong is completely determined to defend the city with the determination to die, you say, can I not save him? …… What will I do to save him? Is it possible to take the land route except by sea? Therefore, the sea is Mao Wenlong's only hope, so I don't dare to take risks,...... You may think that I am saying that using the warships of the Yi people is an adventure, but in fact, I dare not use my Ming fleet to take risks, if nothing else, how many years have my Ming sailors not built new ships and big ships? Can the fortune boat go up? No? The boat can go up, but how many cannons are there in the boat? What's the use of those two or three cannons? What can be accomplished with those few small cannons? Therefore, I chose the Yiren fleet with a large number of artillery, and I just wanted to use the Yiren artillery to open a passage for Mao Wenlong, and if necessary, open a way to live...... I don't want Mao Wenlong to die, and I don't want the soldiers who are defending Zhenjiang Fort to be desperate...... I say this, can you understand? It's not that I don't want to use my Ming warship, but I don't dare to take this risk, ah......, alas, if the sailors of my dynasty are like the Yiren, why should I hire the Yiren's warship? I called you here this time, and there is another meaning, that is, two of you will take a group of people to the warship of the Yi people, and learn the skills of the Yi people to operate the ship and fight,...... I really don't want to reproduce the situation where there are no ships to send now, I can't afford to lose that person..., I have built a lot of Yiren warships in the south, and now I am a person who lacks operations, you get on the Yiren warships, in addition to supervising them to fight as hard as possible, is to learn their skills, in the future, I will not be afraid of this situation of no ships to send in the future, I am pinning my hopes on you...... and, now, how many people in the DPRK want to impeach Mao Wenlong? You've probably heard of it, right? Therefore, you should know how dangerous Mao Wenlong's situation is, so Mao Wenlong can only win, not lose, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, the three of you are from Dongjiang Town, don't you want to save your Mao Dashuai......" Yang Reform was stunned.

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong were asked by the emperor, and they "whimpered" and cried, Mao Wenlong's situation is the most clear to them, they stay in the staff all day long, and they can't hide any news, there is a large army surrounded by the outside, and there are people who are officials in the same dynasty digging corners, and they may fall down at any time for various reasons, except for an emperor who is still trying his best to find a way, this situation, how can people not be sad.
