Chapter 453: Something Troubled

"Order, ships No. 3, No. 4, and No. 8 will switch to chain bullets and aim at their masts and hit me hard! …… Ships No. 2 and No. 3 opened fire on the two ships in front of them, and they must not be allowed to approach! ”

Amid the roar of cannons, Guo Jingxian stood on the deck and commanded the fleet to fly kites. This tactic of using the speed of the battleship and the range of the guns to hang the opponent is really interesting, and it is very nice to watch your own artillery keep hanging the enemy while the opponent stares at you without being able to do it.

"Big brother, the Zheng family's fleet has outflanked from behind!" Yan Fei, who was in charge of assisting the command on the side, suddenly pointed to the side and shouted.

Guo Jingxian looked at it, and it turned out that at this moment, the Zheng family's fleet, which was originally watching the excitement in front, had quietly circled around to the left side.

"Hmph...... Want to play outflanking? Guo Jingxian sneered, and immediately ordered: "Order the fleet to move forward at full speed to throw them off, and the swallow-shaped boat will go around the back of their butts and give them a blow." ”

"Yes...... Burn the wind! ”

Yan Fei agreed and began to convey orders to the fleet.

If you want to ask what has made the army exert its great combat effectiveness since the beginning of the war? It is estimated that many people speak in unison about weapons, from weapons such as wooden sticks and stone axes in the Stone Age to cold weapons such as bronze and iron tools to hot weapons later, and the forms of warfare continue to develop with the changes of weapons. However, military experts in later generations told people an answer that surprised many people, in fact, information is the multiplier that enhances the combat effectiveness of the army.

In the era of cold weapons, how to transmit their orders to the various units below in the shortest and fastest time has always been the most headache for commanders. Traditional means such as drumming, whistles, or flags are too limited and not timely, and are often outdated or out of character by the time the commanders' orders are conveyed below.

When Yue Yang brought the radio walkie-talkie onto the battleship, this situation was fundamentally changed, and Guo Jingxian's order reached the ears of every captain of the fleet at the first time. The fleet that was originally shelling Li Laosan's fleet all increased its speed, the sailmen raised all the sails, and all the ships sped up and rushed forward. threw Zheng Zhibao, who was about to go around, behind his buttocks, and was so angry that Zheng Zhibao scolded behind him.

"Hahaha...... This Zheng Laosan will follow us ass and eat fart! Looking at Zheng Zhibao, who was thrown behind, Yan Fei couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, don't laugh yet, although we got rid of Zheng Laosan, the show has just begun." Guo Jingxian said calmly.

"Big brother, no matter how those grandsons jump, we are not afraid of him." Feeling the performance of his own battleship that was enough to crush his opponent, Yan Fei's heart swelled with a strong sense of pride.

"Order the fleet to go around and spank their ass!" Guo Jingxian commanded the fleet to circle in a large circle and then approached the Zheng family's fleet......

"Fire...... Artillery ......"

"Boom...... Boom ......"

On the rising sea, the rumbling of cannons and the hoarse and resolute orders of the officers resounded everywhere......

Zheng Mansion, Shijing Town, South Bank, Quanzhou, Fujian

Zheng Sen hurriedly walked through the corridor in the backyard. He came to a secluded courtyard and pushed open the courtyard door, and the two maids who were working inside hurriedly saluted him.

Zheng Sen waved his hand and asked, "Did my mother wake up from a nap?" ”

One of the maids quickly replied, "Madame has woken up a long time ago, and is now drinking tea." ”

"That's good!"

After Zheng Sen finished speaking, he strode inside, and when he entered the room, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing a plain robe and combing a fallen horse's sideburns on her head, who was quietly fiddling with the tea set, waking up the tea, passing the water, scalding the tea cup and other processes in an orderly manner, looking very natural beauty, this woman was Zheng Zhilong's original partner Tagawa clan.

Zheng Sen didn't disturb Tagawa's movements, but stood aside and watched quietly. After a long time, after the Tagawa clan had done this, Zheng Sen stepped forward and saluted the Tagawa clan and said, "Mother, the child greets you." ”

"Sen'er, you're here." Tagawa nodded at him, "Sit down!" ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Sen sat opposite the Tagawa clan according to his words, but before he could sit down, he asked eagerly, "Mother." I heard that the father told the child about a family affair? ”

"You know everything?" Tagawa picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before smiling.

Zheng Sen said with a bitter face: "Mother, the child is still young and doesn't want to be bound by the family too early, can you help the child tell his father not to let the child get married too early!" ”

At this time, Zheng Sen completely lost his former calmness, like an ordinary teenager complaining to his mother.

"You......" Tagawa shook his head with a smile, "Don't you want to know which girl your father told you?" ”

"I don't want to!" Zheng Sen said a little unhappily: "The child has just gained the fame of Xiucai now. I'm thinking about taking the township test to raise people, how can I be in the mood to talk about marriage. ”

Tian Chuan smiled slightly and said to himself: "The family affair that your father told you is the niece of Dong Yangxian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, whose surname is Dong Mingyou. I've seen this girl. If you are generous and beautiful, you will be your virtuous helper in the future. Since ancient times, the Ming Dynasty has said that you will start a family first and then start a business, and your words are not reasonable, so I will not support you. I'm afraid you don't know yet, your grandfather wrote a few days ago, saying that he is also going to talk about a family affair for your younger brother Tagawa Nanazaemon in the future, and you can't be left behind by your brother as an elder brother. ”

"I ......" Zheng Sen was a little speechless, speechless for a while, and hung his head.

Tian Chuan stretched out his hand and poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Sen'er, I see that you are quite irritable today, I don't know what it is?" Can you sue me? ”

Zheng Sen sighed lightly before saying, "Mother, here's the thing. I have been a little carried away with my father because he has been too smooth sailing over the years, and a few days ago he sent the third uncle and the third uncle Li to sail with a fleet......"

Zheng Sen told the things of these days in 1510, and finally said: "Mother, the child can be sure that his personality is resolute and resolute when he looks at what the loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang has done, and he has hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers and is a horse in the court, it can be said that the weight of authority can be said to be the first person in the Ming Dynasty, and the father has repeatedly done against it with hundreds of warships in his hands, and the child is worried that once there is a bad one, our Zheng family may be wiped out!" ”

Tian Chuan was silent for a while before he said softly: "I've been living in the backyard these days, and it's not easy for me to ask about these things as a woman. But according to you, your father is now on a dangerous path, and I will persuade him when the time comes. ”

"Alas......" Zheng Sen sighed and stomped his foot sharply and said hurriedly: "No, I still have to talk to my father, otherwise if I completely offend the Marquis of Zhongyong, my Zheng family may not be able to stay in Fujian." ”

"Sen'er......" Tagawa was about to continue talking, but he heard an exclamation from outside, and then a commotion came over in bursts.

Zheng Sen's face immediately sank, although Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, but the family rules are very strict, and no noise in the backyard is the most important thing, today someone dares to ignore the rules, this matter must not be spared, he stood up and said coldly: "Mother, the maids in this yard are too unruly, today the children will teach them what the rules are, otherwise there will be no rules in this backyard in the future." ”

Tian Chuan glanced at his son lightly, as if he saw the bottom of his son's heart, and saw her say softly: "Sen'er, the maids in my yard have always been well-behaved, and you don't want to send the anger in your heart to them, you go over and ask them what happened, don't embarrass them, you know?" ”

When Tian Chuan said this, Zheng Sen immediately sobered up as if he had been drunk, and then he bowed deeply to his mother and said solemnly: "Thank you mother for reminding me, the child will go over and ask." ”

After speaking, Zheng Sen stood up and walked outside, but before he could reach the door, he heard a maid hurriedly running from outside and said breathlessly: "Madam, young master, third master, they are back......

"The third uncle is back!" Zheng Sen was first surprised, then overjoyed, and said urgently: "Where is the third uncle, I will go over to find him immediately." ”

The maid gasped and said, "Young master...... The third master ...... He...... He was seriously injured. ”

"What?" Zheng Sen was shocked, rushed to the maid, grabbed her wrist and shouted, "What the hell is going on? How could the third uncle get hurt? ”

"Young Master...... Young Master......"

The maid who was tightly grasped by Zheng Sen's wrist only felt that her wrist was so painful that her forehead was sweating as if she was being caught by an iron fist, and finally Tian Chuan saw it and shouted: "Sen'er, what are you doing?" Don't hurry up and let go! Do you want to break Mer'er's hand? ”

After being reminded by Tian Chuan, Zheng Sen realized his gaffe, and quickly let go of the hand holding the maid, and then asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

The maid who was let go of her hand hurriedly ran to Tian Chuan's side, glanced at Zheng Sen with some fear, and then said tremblingly: "The slave maid doesn't know, but I just heard from the big brothers in the front yard that Zheng Sanye suffered a big defeat at sea." Li Sanye died on the spot, our fleet was defeated, Zheng Sanye was also seriously injured, and he escaped back after the desperate rescue of his brothers, and now the doctor in the front yard is rushing over. ”

"What...... The third uncle is seriously injured? Hearing this, Zheng Sen's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and what he was most worried about these days became a reality.

Looking ahead, Zheng Sen muttered: "Our Zheng family is going to be in trouble......" (to be continued......
