Chen Zhenhui walked into the cabin and came to a room, and arched her hand at the closed door of the room: "Three ladies, the lower official Chen Zhenhui has urgent matters to see, please let the three ladies see you." ”

After a while, the room slowly opened, and a maid walked out and said to Chen Zhenhui: "Lord Chen, the three ladies invite your lord in." ”

Chen Zhenhui walked in, this is a room of about twenty square meters, although it is narrower in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is already the largest room in this ship, and Li Xiangjun's three daughters have lived in this room for the past few days.

When Chen Zhenhui walked into the room, she saw Li Xiangjun sitting at a table, three pairs of wonderful eyes looking at him intently, and next to them, there were three fourteen or fifteen-year-old beautiful maids standing aside and waiting.

Li Xiangjun, who was dressed in white, saw Chen Zhenhui walking in with a solemn expression, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, and she asked solemnly: "Lord Chen, I don't know what is important to let you come here in person." ”

Looking at the three women who were young at the time, Chen Zhenhui's original prepared words were unspeakable for a while, and finally he took a deep breath and said: "Three ladies, Shicai just found three red-haired ghost warships outside, but these three warships are fierce and seem to have bad intentions, and the official has ordered Lin Qianzong to prepare for battle, and he must swear to the death to escort the three women to the safe arrival of the master and reunite with the Hou Ye." But after all, there are unforeseen circumstances, if Xia Guan and Lin Qian are unfortunately defeated, the three women must also be prepared! ”

There was silence in the room, and a look of determination flashed in Li Xiangjun's eyes for a long time, and he said slowly: "Lord Chen, rest assured, although the three concubines are from humble backgrounds, they also know a little about poems and books such as "The Female Commandment" and "The Biography of the Daughters", and they will definitely not embarrass the Hou Ye, please rest assured, Lord Chen." ”

"In this way, the lower officials will be relieved." A hint of admiration flashed in Chen Zhenhui's eyes, nodded solemnly, and solemnly arched her hand towards Li Xiangjun: "In this way, the lower officials can rest assured that they will fight for my Daming, and if they have the opportunity to reach the Daguan, they will definitely make amends to the three ladies." After speaking, Chen Zhenhui turned around and walked out of the room.

Seeing Chen Zhenhui walk out of the room, the maid standing at the door quickly closed the door and made a bang. Immediately, the maid's little face suddenly turned white.

Li Xiangjun turned his head to look at Dong Xiaowan and Wang Yue next to him, and showed a bitter smile on his pretty face: "Two sisters, originally the three of us sisters were going to reunite with the minister, but I never thought that we would encounter this kind of thing, this is really a blessing and a curse." The two younger sisters also heard Lord Chen's words just now, and if something happens, the two younger sisters need to be prepared. ”

Dong Xiaowan showed a resolute look on her face and said categorically: "Although my sister was born in Qin Huai, she also knows the truth of keeping festivals for her husband, and besides, my sister has been favored by her husband in every way since she married her husband, and my sister is already content." As the saying goes, I am fortunate to lose my life, Sister Xiangjun can rest assured. If the ship is broken by thieves, the girl will never shame her husband, and she should die for her husband to keep the festival! ”

Looking at Dong Xiaowan's resolute expression, Li Xiangjun's expression was relieved, and he turned to Wang Yue and said, "Yue'er...... What about you? ”

Wang Yue pouted and said unwillingly: "I haven't conceived my father-in-law's baby yet, I'm really unwilling." Without waiting for Li Xiangjun to speak, she suddenly smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, I am already very content to marry a big hero like Xianggong in this life, and I can't conceive in this life, I will marry Xianggong and give birth to a child for him in this life." ”

Li Xiangjun couldn't hold back any longer, two crystal tears fell to the ground and shattered into countless petals, she grabbed Dong Xiaowan and Wang Yue's small hands and sobbed: "Two sisters, in the next life, we will marry Xianggong together." Be sure to have children for him! ”

"Good...... We will be good sisters in the next life! Three pairs of small hands were clasped tightly together......

On the deck of the ship, Chen Zhenhui and Lin Xiang stood side by side, looking intently at the Spanish warship that was getting closer and closer.

"My lord, the red-haired ghost's warship is already close!" The voice of the first mate came from the side.

Lin Xiang said calmly: "Order the gun warehouse to open all the baffles." Prepare the medicine, and then order the flag bearer to send a flag message and ask them what they want to do? ”

"Yes!" The first mate faithfully conveyed Lin Xiang's order.

Soon the first mate came to report, "Qi Qi two adults, the three red-haired ghosts on the opposite side sent a signal. They were ordered to patrol the waters of this generation, and let us stop our ships for inspection! ”

"Fuck it!" Lin Xiang's face instantly turned purple, and his eyes showed a terrifying murderous aura. For the soldiers, it is a momentum to fight, and it would be a great shame to let the red-haired ghosts wantonly force them to stop the ship for inspection.

"Mr. Lin Qian, tell the brothers. If the red-haired ghost dares to approach, he will call the official...... Hit hard! ”

Chen Zhenhui on the side was also so angry that his face turned blue, as the saying goes, what kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers, and Yue Yang's character also deeply affects the army under his command and the officials below. On weekdays, Yueyang's character of always being tough and uncompromising has already been imperceptibly imperceptible to the hearts of the various officials below, and the Ming Dynasty at this time has not been ravaged by wild boar skin, and the backbone of the Han people has not been broken, whether it is a greedy or honest official, the Ming Dynasty is full of a sense of superiority in the face of those people abroad, this sense of superiority does not come out of thin air, but after thousands of years of ancestors with war knives and war horses. It was the proud Chen Zhenhui who would agree to such unreasonable conditions of the Spaniards, and soon there were flag-bearers on the two warships who waved the flag.

Soon, the Spanish galleon on the opposite side of the "Awe" received a flag message from Chen Zhenhui: "Lieutenant Commander Caleb, the Daming warship on the opposite side has sent a signal, this is the Daming sea area, our ships must accept their jurisdiction, he wants us to stop the ship for their inspection, if we do not listen to the dissuasion, they will use force to solve the problem." ”

"Hmph...... Since these hard-mouthed Ming people are so stubborn, let me use cannons to teach them a lesson! Caleb, who received the report, showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth and gave another order: "Captain Taylor, order all the ships behind to open the gun compartment baffles, all guns to start loading, and open fire as soon as you hear my order!" ”

"Reloader, all gunners are ready to fire!" In the gun compartment of Chen Zhenhui's battleship, the sea boss wearing a blue and white sailor suit was also giving orders loudly. Due to the continuous launching of warships, the scale of the Weihai Wei Naval Division is also expanding, experienced sailors and junior officers have become scarce, and the sea boss who graduated from the Naval Academy was assigned to the newly launched fourth-class battleship as a gun commander due to his excellent academic performance and internship performance, and was in charge of all the more than 20 guns on the second floor of the battleship.

Under the order, all the sailors stuffed the gunpowder into the gun chamber as they usually practiced, and then poked the projectile into it with a throughbar, and only after poking it firmly did the fuse was inserted, the tension before the war was enveloped in everyone's hearts.

"Sir, the warships of the Ming Kingdom are rapidly approaching us. They're still getting faster...... They're coming! ”

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, Caleb has lost his calmness just now, and a trace of solemnity began to appear on his face, when the distance between the two sides reached seven or eight hundred meters, Caleb found that the two Ming warships that were rushing towards them in a straight line suddenly began to turn to the right.

"What are these Ming warships doing? Did you start grabbing the T-prefix so quickly? Caleb said strangely: "Captain Tiger, do you know what the range of Mingguo's artillery is?" ”

"I don't know much about that." Taylor shook his head: "However, many of their forces, including the imperial court, have bought artillery from the Dutch and the Portuguese, and we know very well that the artillery of these two countries is not much different from us, and it can hit the sky for two hundred meters, as for the artillery with a longer range, it is not something that the current warship can place." ”

"Maybe they want to put a round of guns to strengthen their courage." Caleb shrugged his shoulders and said what he thought was a humorous joke, but as soon as his words fell, he saw puffs of white smoke peeking out from the sides of the two Ming warships that were slanting towards them in the distance.

"Oh no, they fired."

Out of the soldier's intuition, Lieutenant Colonel Caleb immediately felt a sense of crisis come over him.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Due to the difference in speed between sound and light, it was only then that the rumbling of cannon reached their ears, and then they saw as if countless small black dots appeared in the sky and were speeding in their direction.

"Right full rudder...... Damn, hurry up and evade! ”

Caleb immediately shouted, in fact, it was not only him, the whole ship began to mess up, no one could have expected that Mingguo's artillery could hit so far.

As he spoke, the countless projectiles had begun to fall around them one after another, and because of the distance, the flying projectiles hit the surroundings of their ships, and landed on the surface of the sea and stirred up countless waves.

Due to the fact that most of the sailors, including the gunners, on the two fourth-class battleships were novices, and because of the distance from Taiyuan, the first round of salvo did not achieve any results, but this round of salvo scared the originally arrogant Caleb into a cold sweat.

"Damn, what the hell is going on with these Ming artillery, how can they hit so far, why don't we have information on this!" Although not even a piece of his scalp was rubbed, Caleb was indeed intimidated, and he was already keenly aware of the difficulty of this battle, and he immediately gave an order.

"Everyone obey my orders, "Parrot", you immediately make a detour to the right, go around to their back to compress their space, "Seabird" you rush up and get close to fight them! ”

With Caleb's orders, a fierce naval battle began. (To be continued......)
