From Da Nang to Quanzhou, there will be a fleet of ships about once every three months. There will be ships to and from Guangzhou every month, and the route from Guangzhou to Quanzhou is also a daily ship.

It stands to reason that there is no need for Mao Wenhu to ask someone to bring a letter.

But he still asked Sang Song to help bring a letter by the way, and the reason for this is probably only known to Mao Wenhu himself.

Taking the bag containing the letter, the young officer did not leave in a hurry, but said to Lan Lan: "Can you show me that short knife?" ”

Lan Lan remembered that when her father handed over the knife to her, he said that if he encountered any trouble in Daming, he would take this dagger to find Lord Bai in Daming, and he could get perfect help no matter what happened. This can be said to be a powerful talisman for Lan Lan when she goes out.

He unsheathed his dagger and held it in front of the young officer with both hands.

The knife was unsheathed, and after only one glance at the young officer, he returned the knife to Lan Lan.

"Throw a bag of soap over here!" After the young officer shouted at his ship, a burlap bag was thrown at him, and the distance between the two ships was about five or six feet, and the speed was not slow. At about five or six knots, the boatman's arm strength and accuracy were good, and the young officer stood there and grabbed the bag with just one hand.

"The wooden box inside is kept for my own use, and the rest can be used as gifts. The contents of the bamboo tube are used for shampooing, and Daming does not see this object on the market at the moment. After the young officer finished speaking, he pulled the cable in his hand and returned to his ship with a long whistle.

The two ships unmoored, and the ship chased after its own fleet at high speed.

On the boat, a young and older captain, who also wore a silver badge, greeted him with a smile: "There are only ten cylinders in total, and you gave out two cylinders, you are so generous!" ”

"Her dagger belongs to my father. It was the first batch of refined short knives of the Hundred Refining Sect. The first one has a number, a total of eighty-one, although my father has a low official position, but he guards Da Nang for the Ming Town, so he got the eighty-number short knife, and the last short knife was given to the first kid who killed in Nanmian Lao Island. ”

"Wenhu's short knife?" The captain stood at the side of the ship and glanced back. But I couldn't see the figure of the person on the boat clearly.

"Do you have a crush on that girl?" The captain asked again.

The young officer nodded very happily: "I like it, although the skin is a little dark, it feels good!" ”

"Cheng, go back and tell the boss, I heard that we are going to send warships to the north, let's fight." The captain, having patted the young officer on the shoulder, shouted at the ship: "Bunnies, full sails." Catch up with the fleet! ”

"Full sails, up!" Dozens of people responded in unison. Shouting and getting to work.

On the boat in the back, a captain who is specially responsible for sea inspection comes on board to check the checkpoint documents of the Siamese prince. After saying a few auspicious words such as wishing a smooth journey, he was about to leave. The little prince asked, "Is the general's gift just now very valuable?" ”

"He's not a general, he's a general. Like the lower officials, he only has a lieutenant of the town military academy, that is, a military attache from the sixth grade. His gift is not expensive when he says it is expensive, but it is not sold in the market at the moment. There's only one use for that thing. It's shampooing, and the washed hair is as smooth as silk. The fragrance can remain on the hair for at least a day. ”

It's a very valuable thing.

The lieutenant said, "After using it, remember to wash it with water, otherwise it will hurt your hair." By the way, he is the son of the commander of Haiyun Peak, the eldest son. ”

Haiyunfeng's commander is in Daming, and he is an ordinary military attaché. Because Waihai Yunfeng is at the level of a thousand households, he is actually just a general of the fourth grade. As a matter of fact. The level given by the Ming Dynasty is the level of the first-class guard, which is the treatment of the third-grade military attaché, in order not to let the foreign country have a feeling of the Ming garrison, so it was lowered by two levels.

But in the eyes of the Nanzhang people, Mao Wenhu is not a petty official.

Da Nang was among the expatriate officials of the Ming Dynasty at all levels. Mao Wenhu's identity is in the top three.

The lieutenant in charge of the inspection left with his own patrol fleet. Princess Nanzhang came to Lan Lan's side and whispered: "That eldest son of General Mao, if you can marry him and become a wife." In Nanzhang, I see you all need to give way, don't miss this opportunity. ”

"Yes!" Lan Lan nodded very seriously.

If you change to a woman from the Ming Dynasty, at least she will be reserved.

But Nanzhang women don't, when they meet a man they like, they must take action, otherwise they will definitely be snatched away. Even sisters can't be trusted, let alone this Nanzhang princess.

Prince Nanzhang also said a few words of encouragement, and at the same time nodded to his sister.

Princess Nanzhang also nodded, this kind of communication without words is obvious. What Prince Nanzhang means is that he didn't bring you out for fun, you have to seize the opportunity. Princess Nanzhang's response is also very obvious, once there is a noble young son of Daming, she will not miss the opportunity.

The little prince's mind moved, and then he also said to his sister, "There is one thing I may have thought wrong. ”

"There's something wrong there?"

"I hope that the white son of Daming can take a fancy to you. But now it seems that the people of Nanzhang are smarter than me, and the white prince of the Ming Dynasty is the one who has two princesses of the Ming Dynasty as wives. You may not have a chance, but there must be very good young talents around him, and if you have the opportunity, you should put some thought into it! ”

"Yes!" The princess of Siam tithes her hands together.

After the ceremony, the Siamese princess said: "In the royal capital of Xingang, the Ming Dynasty is only open to women. I heard a rumor that she was favored by a very noble person in Daming, who was only thirteen years old, and for this reason the young man and Lord Bai already had some verbal conflicts. ”

"Who?" The Prince of Siam's eyes changed.

"I don't understand, I just know that he is a big man, he has a lot of power in the capital of Daming, and he also has heavy troops. There are three such characters, and they have the same military strength as the Great Understanding. ”

The prince of Siam was not like this princess, his head was spinning rapidly.

His understanding of Daming is not deep at the moment, and there may be people with such an identity, only the hereditary Zhenshou Guogong of Daming. If the town guards the country in the capital, is it the British prince Zhang's family.

If that's the case, is it a good thing or a bad thing for yourself?

If the news is true, why didn't the Khmer king, who supported the throne on his own, sue himself?

The heart of the prince of Siam was not calm, he knew that Da Ming was very big, and it was impossible for him to cover the sky with one hand. Could it be that the Khmer king had other ambitions?

The Prince of Siam didn't sleep well for several days, and kept asking his sister the details of what he had heard.

On the other side, a fleet of ships from Nanjing to the sea has been secretly close to the position of Fugang in the later generations, the seafarers on this ship are the people of the Nanjing Navy, but the people who accompany the ship are from Shanglin Yuan, although they once also belonged to the Nanjing Five Military Governor's Mansion, but now they are classified as Shanglin Yuan's soldiers by the soldiers of other guards.

Thirty ships, all heavy ships, were loaded with cargo.

"Counting the distance, there is still half a day away. Let the boat explore the way first. The first few people were talking.

At this time, a fleet of ships was approaching at a rapid pace, and the speed reached an astonishing speed of fifteen knots, which was a speeding speed in the eyes of this fleet, and the appearance of the ships had not been seen by many old sailors, a total of thirty boats, and the speed was extremely fast.

When they got close enough to see the ship, the door to the side of the ship opened, and rows of guns were pushed out.

"Enemy!" There are soldiers in the forest garden who press their hands on the handles.

The captain didn't react much, just let people hang the flag. It is not the flag of the Ming Dynasty, nor the flag of the sailor. It's a red rose on a white background.

The fleet over there approached quickly, and on the bow stood a beautiful girl in tight armor.

"Girl, you female generals are not on the ship! Uncle has something to ask you for help. The captain shouted at the boat.

In the middle of the fleet, a ship is in front of it. A beautiful general wearing a bright red cloak, wearing black and red, embroidered with plum blossom dark patterns, and using pure gold as a belt buckle on her belt, stood on the deck: "General Lan, there is a rule above that you must not take the initiative to contact us if you have to do something, do you have a warrant from the young master?" ”

"Hua Mei, you scared my uncle." The old captain responded with a smile, and then opened his bow and arrows, and shot the warrant over, without the warrant of the white crane, almost no one could command this pure woman's fleet. Even if the woman on this ship is their daughter or niece.

Li Huamei flipped through the warrant and shouted in response: "Go to Nagato, we have power there!" ”

"Okay, but it's not enough for Nagato."

"People are greedy for money, so go through the long gate first. Please send someone to tell Master Sù, I also want to ask for a task, there are no pirates here, there are no merchant ships here. At the moment, it is often several days at sea, and there is not half a shadow of the ship. ”

The old captain only promised to return with a letter, and he did not dare to agree to the rest.

A day later, Wajima Nagato. In this era, Changmen was still a small fishing village, and it was because there were few people here, so it was suppressed by Li Huamei. is the name here, and when he sees Li Huamei, he has to bow his head and salute.

Here in Nagato, there are two natural bays, and the ratio of men to women here is 1:22.

That is, there are twenty-two women in one man. And this man is not counted according to the young and strong, if it is calculated according to the young and strong, it is estimated that the ratio will be more than one to sixty.

This is the seaside, and there are many fishermen and men who go out to sea, especially a lot.

The guardian of Nagato Province has suffered four consecutive defeats, and he does not dare to forcibly recruit men from the inland and Tomita districts, but he has repeatedly forcibly recruited men from fishing villages to fight, and the number of men here is pathetic due to the successive defeats.

Li Huamei was not yet sixteen years old, and when the leather boots stepped on the pù, the largest wooden shop here, all the widows knelt down for her, and knelt completely on the ground. Among them is a patriarch of the Nagato guardian Daiuchi family who came here to handle official business, and this shop pù is the best building here, and the ownership is Li Huamei.
