Wang Pu's gaze swept over the faces of Scarface, Zhao Xin, and Tang Sheng one by one, and asked in a deep voice, "How are the surnames of the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion, the Spear Battalion, and the Baggage Battalion familiar with the surnames of Shui?" ”

After more than 10,000 Datong elite soldiers arrived in Nanjing, in order to find something to do for them, and at the same time, it was indeed out of need, Wang Pu once strictly ordered the officers and men of the whole army to be familiar with the surname Xi.

Scarface and Tang Sheng looked embarrassed.

Zhao Xin took a step forward and said in a low voice: "General, the brothers are all northerners, and they are not familiar with the surname Shui, plus it is cold for a while, and the brothers have not been able to get into the water, so they have not learned to float in the water, but most of the brothers are no longer seasick." ”

"Hmm." Wang Pu nodded and said, "Tang Sheng." ”

Tang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, hit his chest with his right fist and responded: "Humble duty." ”

Wang Pu said: "Immediately gather 500 elite soldiers, set off with General Ben overnight, and rush to Zhenhaiwei." ”

Tang Sheng replied suddenly: "Yes." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "General, I will go with you." ”

"No need." Wang Pu raised his hand and said, "The matter of rebuilding the weapons workshop and the gunpowder bureau is more important, you should stay in Nanjing, not to mention that this is a water war, and the main force is Huang Degong's sailor." ”

Zhen Youcai hugged his fists and responded: "Humble and orderly." ”

Wang Pu said to Scarface and Zhao Xin again: "You two, hurry up and let the brothers get acquainted with the surname Shui, what's wrong with the cold?" Can you freeze to death with this cold? Tell the brothers that if they learn to swim in the water, each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and the first 100 brothers will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each! ”

Scarface and Zhao Xin hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Yes! ”

Wang Pu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhen Youcai and the three of them shook their hands and turned around.

Seeing the three of them leave, Wang Pu said loudly: "Nen Niang." ”

"Yes."

"Pack up."

"Yes."

"Lu Liu."

"Yes."

"Assemble the guards now."

"Yes."

"Master Pony, have you forgotten the little girl?"

Lu Liu's voice fell, and a soft voice suddenly came in from outside the door, and then a graceful and graceful shadow Shi Shiran walked in, Wang Pu, Lu Liu, and Nenniang looked at each other, who else was not the White Lotus Sect Master, Nenniang, the little girl, snorted, pouted and went into the back tent to pack up.

Wang Pu waved his hand, and Lu Liu turned around.

The White Lotus Sect Master glanced at Wang Pu charmingly, and said coquettishly: "Little villain, you really don't plan to take your sister with you?" ”

"Ahem." Wang Pu scratched his head and said, "This...... According to the law, it is forbidden to bring female dependents in the army. ”

"Really?" The White Lotus Sect Master glanced at the back tent and asked, "That brutal little girl is also a female dependent, why can she follow you?" ”

Wang Pu smiled bitterly: "This, she is a woman disguised as a man in the army. ”

"My sister can also dress as a man." The White Lotus Sect Leader said in a flattering voice, "And my sister is more painful than that little girl, little villain, you are not tempted at all?" If you bring your sister, you can still have unexpected benefits, giggles......"

When he said the last sentence, the tone and expression of the White Lotus Sect Leader had become extremely ambiguous.

Wang Pu was thrilled, if you want to talk about the kung fu of seduction, I am afraid that there is no other woman in this world who can compare with this demon girl, Wang Pu is neither a eunuch nor Yanagi Hui, he is a man with normal physiology and no problem with his surname orientation, of course he can't stand the temptation of this ** naked.

Wang Pu swallowed viciously, his burning eyes were already unscrupulously staring at the White Lotus Sect Master's drumming chest, even if he couldn't touch it with his hands, he could always think about it in his head, right? Wang Pu already had two clusters of white flowers floating in front of him, stiff and warped, round and moist, like freshly peeled lychee meat, so tender that it could drip water.

"Little villain, where are you looking?" The White Lotus Sect Leader deliberately straightened his chest, and said coquettishly, "Don't think about it, my sister didn't say that she wanted to recommend herself like that little girl, my sister said, the Holy Sect hidden under Gu San Mazi's hands should be able to help you a lot, if you bring your sister, you can easily find Gu San Mazi's old village and capture it bloodlessly." ”

"Oh?" Wang Pu's heart suddenly jumped, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Gu San Mazi's subordinates really have the White Lotus Sect's internal response?" ”

The White Lotus Sect Master blinked his big eyes and said in a flattering voice, "What do you say, little villain." ”

"Good!" Wang Pu thought for a while and said categorically, "Then sister, you will go with the little brother!" ”

■■■

Half a month later, the East China Sea.

The wind was high and the waves were urgent, and Wang Pu and Huang Degong were leading two three-masted gunboats, 15 No. 1 Fu boats, and 36 No. 2 Fu boats to sail on the vast sea.

The advantage of the dhows is that they can sail downwind and against the wind, and they can also control the sailing speed of the fleet by controlling the windward angle of the sails, of course, the sailing ship is a sailing ship after all, and the sailing speed of this era is only seven or eight knots, which cannot be compared with modern ships.

On the lookout platform of one of the three-masted gunboats, Huang Degong and Wang Puzheng were holding a monocular to search the vast ocean ahead, as early as the Wanli period, the Western world had invented the telescope, this telescope was soon applied to the military, during the Apocalypse, the monocular used by the Western Navy began to be introduced to the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Degong said: "General, do you see the island in front of you?" ”

Wang Pu said: "I saw it." ”

Huang Degong said: "Judging from the location provided by the inner line, Gu San Mazi's lair should be the island in front." ”

Wang Pu did not tell Huang Degong all the inside story of the White Lotus Sect, but only said that Gu San Mazi had his internal response, and Huang Degong was of course convinced of this.

"Hmm." Wang Pu nodded and said, "It should be it." ”

Huang Degong put away the monoculars and said in a deep voice: "General, it's time to go to the command cabin, this is already Gu Sanmazi's sphere of influence, and we may be attacked by pirates at any time." ”

Wang Pu said: "Well, you can go quickly." ”

Huang Degong clenched his fists, turned around and walked away.

Wang Pu also put away the monoculars, slowly turned around, and not far behind him stood the White Lotus Sect Master and the young lady, but this time they were all dressed in military uniforms, looking heroic, Wang Pu gently bowed his head to signal the White Lotus Sect Leader to go over, and the White Lotus Sect Master also deliberately glanced at the young lady as if he was demonstrating.

The young lady rolled her eyes and snorted sideways.

The White Lotus Sect Master twisted his waist and walked to Wang Pu's side, deliberately approached Wang Pu, and asked in a nickname, "Little villain, do you have anything to say to your sister?" ”

Wang Pu said in a low voice: "Sister, if there is a war later, the cannonballs will not grow eyes, can you send a message to your Neiying and ask him to find a way to protect Miss Xiaowan?" ”

The White Lotus Sect Leader glanced at Wang Pu and said unhappily, "That little girl is so important to you?" ”

Wang Pu frowned and said, "The little brother is talking to you about business." ”

"Yo." The White Lotus Sect Leader suddenly put on a resentful look that was about to cry, and said in a low voice, "This is angry? My sister didn't say she wouldn't help you, look at the ...... who distressed you."

Wang Pu is not annoyed, nor is he coaxed, he only feels that his head is bigger than two.

"Don't worry." Seeing Wang Pu scratching his ears and cheeks, the White Lotus Sect Master couldn't help but laugh, and said in a nickname, "Sister has already handed over the news, you can rest assured, no matter how fierce the battle outside is, my sister promises not to hurt your delicate little beauty." ”

■■■

Deep in the archipelago, on one of the larger islands.

There was a house hidden in the dense jungle, and in one of the rooms, Gu San Mazi, barefoot Zhang San and Hou Fangyu, Mao Bijiang, and a dozen pirate leaders were eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls.

Gu San Mazi walked to Hou Fangyu and Mao Bijiang with a wine bowl, and said loudly: "Two brothers, from now on, everyone will be brothers in the same boat, don't think about returning to the Ming Dynasty, there is a way to be a thief for life, and the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen Xiaoer can't tolerate you!" ”

Hou Fangyu and Mao Bijiang hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and said yes.

Gu San Mazi patted Mao Bijiang's shoulder again and said, "Work hard, the eldest brother won't treat you badly." ”

"Yes." Mao Bijiang responded, "The big boss, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Gu San Mazi said: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Mao Bijiang said: "It's the Xiaowan girl who was snatched from Nanjing, and I hope that the big boss can hand her over to his subordinates to dispose of." ”

"Disposition?" Gu San Mazi said, "What else is there to deal with?" That kiln sister is yours originally, big brother is in charge, tonight for you round the house, the brothers on the island also take this opportunity to be happy. ”

"Oh no, no, no, no." Mao Bijiang shook his head again and again, "The big boss doesn't know anything, and he will never do anything difficult for a strong man, and what he wants is not only Miss Xiaowan's body, but also wants her heart, so I also ask the big boss to promise to hand her over to the next disposal." ”

"Oh, you're going to get both body and mind?" Gu San Mazi said, "Okay, the eldest brother promises you, and this little girl will be handed over to you." ”

Mao Bijiang couldn't help but say: "Thank you for being in charge." ”

Gu San Mazi said: "But brother, can you tell me what tricks you used to capture the little girl's heart?" ”

"Well...... Mao Bijiang sneered, "the big boss will naturally know when the time comes." ”

"Report ......" Suddenly, a pirate hurriedly stepped inside, clenched his fists and said, "Big boss, there is news from the northern island, saying that a large group of officers and military sailors are approaching!" ”

"What!?" Gu San Mazi frowned and said, "Officers and military sailors? ”

Barefoot, Zhang Sanhuo stood up and shouted, "How many ships are there?" ”

The pirate replied: "There are more than 50 large and small warships, and there are ......."

Gu San Mazi shouted: "What else? ”

The pirate said, "And two three-masted gunboats!" ”

"What? Three-masted gunboats! Gu Sanmazi's face changed in an instant, and he said in a deep voice, "Grandma's, even the three-masted gunboat was dispatched?" I haven't seen this thing in years. ”

"The big boss." Barefoot Zhang Sandao, "The official army sailor is fighting like this, it may not be for us, or it may just be passing by, after all, this island is just a desert island where birds don't lay eggs, and the Daming sailor hasn't found it for so many years, so he may not be able to find it this time, right?" ”

"Well, the second one's analysis makes sense." Gu San Mazi said loudly, "Pass the order, let the brothers and all the big and small ships hide in the old dragon cave, don't go out to hang around if you have nothing to do, and then send someone Qiao Xiang fishermen to investigate the truth and truth, and report back as soon as there is definite news." ”

"Yes."

The pirate answered and took the order.

■■■

Huang De's fleet of sailors has slowly sailed into the archipelago, and as far as the eye can see, there are islands of all sizes and sizes, the smallest is the size of a three-masted gunboat, and the largest is only a dozen miles in radius.

Wang Pu had already returned to Huang Degong's command cabin, and while searching the islands on both sides through the lookout holes with a monocular, he asked, "General Huang, what kind of archipelago is this?" ”

Huang Degong said: "General, this is the Dayangshan Islands, and there are more than 300 islands of all sizes!" ”

"More than three hundred?" Wang Pu's brows furrowed for a moment, and he asked, "Are there any fishermen living on the island?" ”

"Nope." Huang Degong shook his head and said, "These are all desert islands. ”

"!" Wang Pu scolded hatefully, "If it weren't for the internal guidance, it would not be easy to find Gu Sanmazi's lair." ”

"Who's to say it's not." Huang Degong said, "There are more than 300 large and small islands here, and if you search for five islands every day, it will take nearly two months!" But in two months, the water and food carried on our ships have long been exhausted, and unless we can build a seven-masted grain ship, the period of fighting at sea cannot exceed one month at most. ”
