Chapter 546: Accidents
Zhao Lie did not see the situation in Beijing, but the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom and Korea will stimulate the Son of Heaven and his ministers even more, and the vigilance of the Broken Army, the spying on the Broken Army will be even worse, and he may even use some means against himself, which is what he expected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the commander of the Broken Army, if he had an accident, the Broken Army would definitely be torn apart, and Zhao Lie believed that someone would use dark means.
It's just that these are not things he can speculate, and the Broken Army can only block them and deal with them one by one.
In Zhao Lie's heart, he still regards Jiannu as the No. 1 enemy, and now Da Ming has nothing to do with him and the Broken Army except for some unpopular means.
In order to guard against the means of the imperial court, and also to prepare for the war of Jiannu, Zhao Lie returned to the base camp of Shidao immediately after sending Hong Yihan away, and he would not give his opponent a chance now.
Zhao Cunren and Zhao Yan at home are six years old, they are like monkeys who are naughty, playing everywhere, Zhao Cunzhi, Zhao Cunli, Yu Dabao, Huang Han's children are all little heels, playing behind the two children.
For Zhao Cunren's education, Zhao Haiming and his family are still very complaining, according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, they have reached the age of entering school at this time.
Zhao Lie didn't care, he did build a private school in Zhao's house, but according to Zhao Lie's requirements, Mr. only taught children to learn words, and did not require memorization of other esoteric books, just let the children know that there were such books.
This method is no different from the school established in Beihua, Jeju in Tengnae.
This made Zhao Haiming incomprehensible, after all, in his opinion, Denglai Jeju Beihua is like this, it is a good deed to be able to teach and learn calligraphy in the face of so many children, and too many things cannot be carried out.
But Zhao Cunren does not have this problem, Zhao Haiming saw Zhao Lie's current arrangement, and he had already boldly guessed that Zhao Lie would finally one day win the Central Plains.
So Zhao Cunren and Zhao Cunli are princes, how can they not teach in advance, how can they simply recognize words, and then what is the purpose of showing them the books of the Xiyi people.
Zhao Haiming also said to Zhao Lie a few times, Zhao Lie still goes his own way, the requirements for children are still very low, learning words is a must, playing is also a must, of course, in the eyes of Zhao Haiming and his wife, it is a little too child's play.
Zhao Lie finally did a serious thing today, he made the other children go crazy, and Zhao Cunren was handed over to the small school field, where a small bow and arrows were prepared, which were prepared for Zhao Cunren and other children.
As a descendant of a military general, Zhao Cunren is no stranger to military armor, and he is also very interested.
He had long been clamoring for real armor, how majestic it was to wear.
In front of him at the moment was a small suit of leather armor and a small riding bow.
This was specially created by Zhao Lie for Zhao Cunren by the craftsmen, and it was completely a miniature version of the adult soldier armor.
Zhao Cunren Rao is much thicker than ordinary children, but he also feels a little unbearable when he puts on armor for the first time in full armor.
He was extremely uncomfortable under the weight of the armor, but for the first time his father, who had always smiled at him and his siblings, made a straight face, he could only grit his teeth.
When Zhao Lie finally asked him to pick up the bow and arrow to shoot, after a few times, his arm strength began to be unable to support it, and when Zhao Lie still asked him to insist, Zhao Cunren finally cried.
His cry summoned Zhao Haiming's family, Alexandra, Li Lin and a group of children.
"How can a child be like this, how old is he, you let him practice archery." Zhao Haiming saw the baby's eldest grandson crying and wiping away tears, and his heart was extremely unbearable.
"Dad, it seems that my eldest brother and third brother and I both started practicing martial arts at the age of six." Zhao Lie was really a little speechless about the old man's doting.
"Is it that small, me, I remember being seven." Zhao Haiming lowered his voice weakly.
Zhao Qinshi glanced at him, "Lie'er, the child is still a little younger, is it better to wait for it to be older." ”
"Mother, now Cunren is not small, it's just a practice of bows and crossbows, and when I was a child, I had to be familiar with bows and crossbows."
Zhao Lie couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that this next generation is undoubted, when he was a child, he had learned the education of his father's stick.
Zhao Cunren cried and persisted, which made people extremely pitiful.
Alexandra didn't say much, even though she didn't feel good in her heart, but she didn't say anything to stop Zhao Lie, after all, Alexandra, who traveled back and forth, knew the necessity of force in troubled times.
Li Lin looked at everything in front of him very worried, what happened to Zhao Cunren now is likely to happen to Zhao Cunli in the future, when he thought that Zhao Cunli was also wearing armor and crying and shooting arrows under the sun, until his arms were numb, Li Lin's heart was confused.
And the children were also silent at this time, they timidly looked at the ******** of the child Wang Zhao Cunren being tossed, they were also frightened, they didn't look small, and they were ignorant and felt that they also had such a day.
This made them lose their interest in playing, and they all watched with blank eyes, thinking in their hearts.
At this moment, the guard reported that Zhao Lie's brother-in-law Francisco had already boarded the dock and was rushing to Zhao's mansion.
Zhao Lie's heart moved when he heard this, he and Alexandra looked at each other, and they both felt extremely wrong, when Francisco went back for a few months, why did he rush over, would there be any urgency.
Alexandra immediately ordered hot water to be boiled and prepared to bathe and change his brother in the front yard.
This was now a necessity for the soldiers of the Broken Army's long voyage to return, and bathing and changing clothes with boiling water had proved to be very effective in preventing the spread of the disease.
As soon as Francisco entered the Zhao Mansion, he immediately bathed, and after being completely sanitized, he changed Zhao Lie's clean clothes before meeting his sister.
The brothers, sisters, and nephews were happy to see each other, and Francisco hurriedly pulled Zhao Lie aside after bringing the gifts that his uncle's family had brought to Alexandra and his nephew.
He came in a hurry this time, and sure enough, he brought great news to the Broken Army.
The fleets of the English, Dutch, and Spaniards totaled nearly 100 Galen warships and armed merchant ships, as well as hundreds of warships of Zheng Zhilong, the general of the Ming Dynasty's Quanzhou town guard in Fujian, prepared to attack Xiaoliuqiu, intending to pull out the stronghold in the south of the Broken Army.
The base of the Broken Army, which has been renamed Fort Anping, has become a thorn in the side of these forces, and it is necessary to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Since the Spaniards, English, and Dutch people no longer had a place to stop and rest along the coast of Daming, in order to attack Xiaoliuqiu and collude with Zheng Zhilong, they must have a place to stop and rest and prepare for war.
After all, after three months of sailing, it is simply unthinkable to rush from Manila, Jakarta, and plunge into a naval battle without a place to rest.
As a result, Macau, the younger brother of the Spaniards, and the Portuguese, became the only place they could stop.
Now the Portuguese are still vassals of the Spaniards, and the expeditionary force of nearly 100 warships and thousands of soldiers is not something that Macao, which is a small land, can refuse, Alonzo can only let the fleet dock in the bay of Macao, and the army is to rest in batches.
Although Alonzo reluctantly accepted the docking of the battleship, he was extremely vigilant in his heart, and he knew exactly what the three robbers were coming.
The English, Spaniards, and Dutch coveted the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and this time they planned to join forces to drive away Zhao Lie's sailors, and then attack the Ming Dynasty together to force the Ming Dynasty to let go of maritime trade.
If their plan succeeds, then the Portuguese in Macau, who are now almost the weakest in the Daming Sea Trade, will have any interests to speak of, and it will be time to be squeezed out of the Daming Sea Trade.
This made Alonzo willing to sit back and wait for frustration, he was extremely enthusiastic on the surface to entertain Weddell and his party, and when he found out the plan of these people from the side, he immediately ordered Francisco to immediately take the two clippers left by Zhao Lie to Macau to report credit, and drive directly to Shidao.
Now the hope of whether Macao can survive in the Ming Dynasty is all placed on Zhao Lie's sailor who is far away in Jeju, Shidao, at this time, Alonzo is extremely glad that he was able to form an ally with Zhao Lie, otherwise he is now trapped in a corner of Macau, helpless.
When Zhao Lie heard this, he was extremely surprised, he had no impression that the Three Kingdoms were colluding with Zheng Zhilong's side, that is, there was no such thing in the original history.
Zhao Lie smiled bitterly, it seemed that it was the result of his butterfly wings inciting.
In fact, this conclusion is also not, the Weddell fleet did come to the Ming Dynasty in the original history, but less than ten warships are like knocking on the Ming Dynasty's sea frontier, which is really a joke.
At that time, the king and nobles of England also thought too highly of themselves, believing that the Ming Dynasty was as easy to defeat and enslave as the Indians in the Americas.
Unfortunately, they were faced with thousands of years of civilization and a fairly complete civilization, and as a result, Weddell's fleet did not fulfill the expectations of the King of England, but only plundered the coast of Guangdong, and was finally expelled by the Cantonese sailors, and then let the Portuguese of Macao act as peacemakers to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, and hastily ended the first confrontation in the history of China and Britain.
But now, due to the rise of Zhao Lieshui's division, Weddell finally persuaded the three families to send troops together to open the Daming Sea Trade, and then the interests were evenly distributed, so the three families colluded with Zheng Zhilong to attack Xiaoliuqiu together.
After Zhao Lie heard about this, he paced back and forth under Francisco's gaze, not thinking about it, he originally planned to maintain the situation in the south, as long as he stopped the Dutch in Xiaoliuqiu, did not let them reach the north, and caused danger to the sea transportation of the Broken Army, but he did not expect this strange result.
Zhao Lie thought left and right for a while and made a decision, it was still the original idea, not to let these three break the Xiaoliuqiu defense line, thus posing a threat to Shidao, Jeju, and Beihua.
That can only meet in a narrow way, the brave wins the way, and the decisive battle is fought to the end. (To be continued.) )
