Section 093 Da Nang
[The last update of the public chapter, the first order on the shelf, the first day on the shelf, it will definitely be violent! ] 】
The sea ships of the Ming Dynasty at this time did not have the ability to go to the sea, because the bottom of the ship was not a pointed bottom, but it was relatively sharp compared to the ordinary flat bottom. Sailing in the offshore sea has a good effect, to go to a place like Luzon, you need to choose the right day, the weather is bad, the wind and waves are definitely not far away.
Two of the four 2,000-material warships were left behind in the last years of Yongle.
Sixteen 1,500-material cargo ships, which are almost also ships with a displacement of 800 tons, are not a problem to load 500 tons of cargo.
Coming out of the Qinzhou military port, it was not a tailwind, it was an easterly crosswind. The speed of about ten to twelve knots was maintained all the way, and it took two days and one night to reach Da Nang, and the road stopped at Qiongzhou Weijun Port for a few hours, and loaded two ships of the homespun cloth prepared by Qiongzhou, and distributed one hundred elites sent by Qiongzhou Weixuan to each ship.
After two days and two nights of sailing, the fleet came to a distance of about 300 meters outside Da Nang.
Two small boats in the harbor slowly approached, and the people in the harbor were still a little nervous about the unfamiliar fleet.
Hue province now belongs to Annam. Da Nang belonged to the Lancang Dynasty and was also known as the Southern State.
Originally, this place belonged to the Khmer country, but because of the decline of the country, the southern state and the Siam state joined forces to suppress the Khmer and get this port. The Kingdom of Annam also has the ambition to go south, and it is also a kind of control of Annam by Nanzhang and the Siamese State that has just entered the prosperous era.
In the original history, it was almost in the late fifteenth century that Annam successfully began the first step of the southern expedition.
At present, in 1451, the second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, a small county in the Ming Dynasty ordered Bai Minghe, with more than 2,000 veterans of the war, and 20 ships, a total of 10,000 tons of goods came to Da Nang.
Two small boats soon approached, and several messengers from Da Nang boarded the flagship of the White Crane.
Here, there is no banner of the Ming Navy, and no one is wearing the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one totem symbolizing the Bai family as the banner on the flagpole, and the white crane is wearing a water-blue gown, Chen Ada, who did not bring a knife, and sat on the right side of the white crane in a strong suit.
"Distinguished guests, where are you from?"
This is knowingly asked, Bai Minghe and these people, whether it is the dress or the style of the boat, it is completely the style of the Ming Dynasty. However, Bai Minghe did not reveal his identity, so the other party naturally wanted to ask.
"We are from the Ming Dynasty and are here to make a deal with you. I don't know if I can enter the port? The white crane explained the meaning very directly.
The messenger looked embarrassed: "Excuse me, what goods have you brought?" ”
"A lot!" Shiramei did not name the specific cargo.
As he was talking, he heard someone blowing a trumpet, and a person next to Chen Adaa quickly went out to check, and then came back to report: "A fleet asked us to give way, and they have to go straight to the port." Two elephants were warships, and the rest were unsuspecting cargo ships, a total of seven ships. ”
Chen Adada was about to continue to ask questions, but Bai Minghe stopped him, looked at the messenger and smiled.
The messenger's forehead could obviously see that the sweat was dripping down, judging from the strength in front of him, Bai Minghe's side was obviously higher than the other party, and from the perspective of the forces behind him, Da Ming was also much stronger than that side.
"Tell the truth!" The white crane's tone was a little more stern.
Wu Bin and the others had already drawn half of their knives.
"It's the Japanese people, they're here to collect tribute. A few years ago, the Japanese came to our Nanzhang and asked us to pay tribute to them. At that time, we were facing the Mon people in the north and the Khmer in the south at the same time. Therefore, he promised to pay tribute to the Japanese people, and the Japanese people would come to collect the tribute at the beginning of June every year. ”
After the messenger explained the reason in one breath, he said: "The Japanese are strong, and ten people can fight against us and a hundred people in the south." Please ...... and give way. lest ......" even the messenger could not speak.
"Okay, give you a face, give way!" Shira-naka agreed.
Bai Minghe's promise, the faces of everyone around him changed, Chen Ada's didn't expect Bai Minghe to be so weak.
But Shiramei Crane continued: "The warship is divided on both sides, and the artillery and bed crossbows are prepared. The ships are ready to get close to the board, and the only question at the moment is, Uncle Chen, do you remember how to kill people? I'm timid, and I'll faint when I see blood. Of course, I'm also a little stingy, and this ship can't be less cargo! ”
Chen Ada, from a sailor to a military attache of the fifth grade, doesn't even know a word, what is the basis?
"Come on, pass on Lao Tzu's order!"
I can't help but say that Bai Minghe's plan is very scoundrel, let the Japanese people enter the encirclement, and then kill them in one go. It's a trick, but it's a little bit unfair.
However, considering the safety of these ships, and more importantly, the first battle at sea must not be defeated, and it must be completely won.
It's about morale and it's about negotiations with Da Nang.
Bai Minghe motioned for the Da Nang envoy to sit down, and a maid from the palace came out to bring snacks and make tea. Only then did he ask, "My surname is Bai, and I don't know what this envoy is called." Your Chinese language is really excellent, and I originally brought a translator, but I didn't expect you to be better than my translator. ”
"My name is Mulberry, Pakney. Nobles can call me Mulberry, and the Governor of Da Nang is my brother, called Sang Song. In our place, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Shang, and learning the Ming culture is a symbol of nobility. Seeing your huge fleet, if it weren't for the tribute of the Japanese people, my brother would have come to greet you. ”
"Thank you, I feel your sincerity."
"Dare to ask Bai Gongzi, such a large fleet is not considered a small scale in Daming. It's just that the old man in the clan has told it, and the Daming treasure ship is bigger than this. ”
This time, Bai Minghe did not answer, but dipped the tea and wrote a king character on the table, and wiped it off with his hand.
"Ahh As soon as Sang Cane covered his mouth, he didn't dare to continue on this issue.
What does the king represent, the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Then it is the relationship between the brothers, uncles and nephews of the Ming Emperor. This is a big man, so this Bai Gongzi may be the spokesperson of this prince, and it seems that he is qualified to speak above the court of the Ming Dynasty, this is definitely a big man.
Suddenly, there was a volley of artillery fire, and the ship of the white crane shook violently a few times.
The Ming Dynasty, unlike Western ships, did not have guns in the cabins, they were all on deck.
The total length of the 2,000-material warship was more than 20 zhang, and the four ships each had 16 guns fired a salvo, directly killing the two warships of the Japanese in seconds. Bows and crossbows and rockets fired in a volley, and the two Japanese warships began to sink in the midst of the fire.
"Your Excellency!" The murderous adjutant entered the house and clenched his fist at Bai Minghe.
This sentence was subconsciously shouted, after all, these people are still in the military. It has become a habit to shout adults, and you can pay attention to changing your mouth when you are deliberately careful, and the blood that will kill is hot, so you will naturally forget those rules, so as soon as you enter the room, you will shout an adult.
"Melee restrictions? Adult, please! ”
"This time, we don't need slaves. Of course, there are beautiful young widows to consider staying. The rest of the people, since they disturbed the peace of this sea, will offer them as tribute to the god of the sea! The white crane ordered quietly.
The adjutant clenched his fists hard and went out and shouted: "Kill!" ”
Sang Cane also reacted when he heard this killing, and he was ashamed that he didn't learn enough Chinese. The meaning of this is that the beautiful women are left behind, and the men are thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
From the time the cannon was fired, to the end, not even a quarter of an hour was used.
The Japanese are so crazy that no one has dared to deal with them since they came here, and they are all defenseless. There were two extremely skillful swordsmen, one was stabbed to death by a random gun, and the other was split in half by Chen Ada's knife.
"Happy, happy." Chen Ah was full of blood, laughing and returned to the house.
"Drink a full drink, right?" Shira-Natsuru asked with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Chen Adaa just laughed, he hadn't been so happy for several years, there were some widows on the beach these years, but they were all sporadic squads, like this, killing thousands of people on seven boats at a time. It's the first time.
Bai Minghe approached Chen Ada, and said in a very small voice: "Don't let the two boats sink, leave the heads behind." Do you dare to report a rebellion, and Guangdong will have to report the secret report of Jinyi Wei, prepare in advance, and win all? ”
"Well, no, we've got a big bargain." Chen Ah Da is a real person.
Bai Minghe continued: "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, you don't want it, I don't want it. It would be good to fight for a bereavement pension for the disabled sergeants in the guards, and it would also give us an excuse to build ships again. My advice is to stay and arrange for someone to tug back. To make or not, let Yang Du have an idea. ”
"Listen to you!" As soon as Chen Adaa heard that he was fighting for a bereavement for the disabled sergeant, he immediately agreed.
At noon that day, the two Japanese warships, which had been smashed and almost sunk, were temporarily repaired. Dragged by the five merchant ships, Chen Ada's detachment of 300 people went to Qiongzhou Weijun Port overnight. By the way, he asked Bai Minghe to help write a letter, asking Qiongzhou Wei to send his people back, and send two more warships to help.
As for the vigilance of the guards, the guards are all experienced veterans.
From Da Nang to Qiongzhou Weijun Port, it is 500 miles, and the modern distance is 250 kilometers. Although these boats are broken, they will be there almost the next morning.
The Governor of Da Nang, Sang Song, personally held a banquet for the white crane.
The beauties alone gave a hundred people, all of which were tributes to the Japanese people in the first place. There are also 3,000 taels of gold, 10 pearls, 10 boxes of precious stones of various colors, and 1,000 catties of various spices.
Just a request, the white crane gave them the goods on the ship of the Japanese people.
"What do you care about?" Bai Minghe calculated in his heart that the price of this Sang Song was really high. And gold is definitely not a tribute to the Wajima, because the gold of Wajima is not worth much, and there are too many reasons. This should have been taken out of his library specifically for himself.
"Cloth, Cloth! There is also precious lacquerware, which this time is a gift for friendly countries. ”
