Chapter 254: Qi Jiguang

Previous Chapter

The sea off Dengju was the main route of maritime trade between the Celestial Empire and Goryeo, and it was also the only way for the Jingshi prefectures to go south to Liangguangquan. Taking a fancy to the conditions in the waters off Dengshu, the Japanese continued to rob merchant ships on the route from Ryukyu Island to Yishu Island. After Zheng He went south to the Western ship to requisition and transfer, the Japanese invaders intensified, in addition to plundering the Goryeo Gongshen some time ago, a building ship fleet of the Tianjin Navy Division also recruited a large number of Japanese soldiers to besiege and kill. As soon as the incident happened, the emperor was furious, and now thousands of warships have been deployed in the sea area of Dengzhou, and near the coast, there are tens of thousands of Qi family troops led by Qi Jiguang and two Ming armies.

"Your Majesty! We have reached the sea area of Dengzhou......"

Yi Xiaoge was resting in the cabin, and Zac whispered outside the door.

"Oh......"

Yi Xiaoge walked out of the cabin, the sun was shining on the clear sea, but he was a little unhappy.

"Why isn't Your Majesty so interested?" Shack asked, in his heart, Yi Xiaoge will always have a cheerful personality, and even belong to the kind of person who can make fun in suffering.

"It's nothing, I just think there's a dirty and rancid smell under such a beautiful view."

"Dirty rancid?" Sack sucked hard and shook his head, "No, just a faint smell of the sea and moist air?" ”

Yi Xiaoge smiled faintly: "That's because this is not your hometown!" ”

He walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the vast sea in front of him, and behind him were tens of thousands of large ships.

"When invaders pass by your homeland, they emit a foul rancid smell. Only after you kick them out will you feel that your home is full of fragrance......"

"Report! General Soldier ...... My lord! Suddenly, a large number of ships flying the two-character flag in the sea area ahead...... Warship! ”

"Massive? How many exactly! ”

Yan Mutang, the chief soldier of the Dengzhou Guard Water Division, was standing on the deck of the building ship to observe the sea situation, and suddenly there was a report from the sailors returning from the outpost ship, and the situation suddenly made Yan Mutang very frightened.

"No...... I don't know! The black pressure pressed a large area, all extending to the horizon, and it was not clear at all! But I can see that the flagship in front of us is the Dragon Treasure Ship built in Quanzhou, and there are dozens of them! In addition, there are hundreds of large ships that are slightly inferior to the Dragon Treasure Ships! The rest are all warships the size of our ships, in addition to thousands of troop carriers. ”

"What! Our Dragon Treasure Ship? Yan Mutang was a little stunned, where did such a large number of water masters come from? Isn't it the Southern Patrol Fleet of Lord Zheng from Guangzhou?

"Whoever it is! Immediately inform the flag and ask for the identity of the other party! ”

After a while, a small clipper appeared near Yi Xiaoge's fleet, and quickly waved the flag, and the communication soldier quickly came over and said, "Your Majesty! In front of us is the Quanzhou Weishui Division, asking us about our identity and purpose! ”

Yi Xiaoge glanced at the clipper ship on the sea and said with a smile: "You tell them, just say that Yi Xiaoer, the number one merchant in the world, led his troops to support General Qi Jiguang!" Please take the route to enter the port. ”

"The first merchant in the world? It turned out to be Yi Xiaoer and Yi Gongzi, this is a righteous man who serves the country. It was his caravan that opened up the route for the trade of the Western Ocean to our Celestial Empire, and made the prestige of our Celestial Empire famous all over the world. Now that he has led such a large army to help suppress the Kou, General Qi's extermination of the Japanese plague is just around the corner! Immediately, the boat led the way, and welcomed Yi Gongzi into the port! ”

Yi Xiaoge waited for a while, only to see several buildings and ships coming, and the flag signaled their flagship to enter the port.

Yi Xiaoge asked all the ships except the flagship to drop anchor nearby, and he took Shack and the guards into the Dengzhou Wei Wharf.

As soon as he got off the boat, Yi Xiaoge saw a middle-aged man with a long beard wearing a general's armor robe walking over with a smile on his face.

"Haha! Yi Gongzi is here, Dengzhou Wei is simply brilliant! In Yan Mutang, the chief soldier of the Weishui Division in Xiadengzhou, he saw the first Shang Yi son in the world. Yan Mutang clenched his fists, looking quite polite, although Yi Xiaoer's name is a false title, but after all, it was sealed by the emperor himself, so there must be a respect. What's more, this time he came with tens of thousands of ships, which is nothing compared to his small chief soldier who only has hundreds of broken ships, and it is always right to be polite.

Yi Xiaoge looked Yan Mutang up and down, although this person was a general soldier, he had a warm face and extraordinary weapons. It is a rare loyal and good general. So he smiled and said: "Thank you Lord General for your love, my false name is just a gimmick given by the emperor, and I don't deserve to be treated like this." ”

Yan Mutang also looked at Yi Xiaoge, at this time, Yi Xiaoge was wearing his own custom-made casual clothes, which was incompatible with their ancient official robes and iron armor. But you can also see some good temperament.

"Yi Gongzi opened up the navigation line between the east and the west, publicized the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and covered the thousands of years, and it will definitely go down in history! We are fortunate to be able to see the ordinary people on the border, and it is a blessing for three lives! ”

"The chief soldier fought for the country and guarded the coastal defense, and he was also a heroic model for my generation to follow and follow. It's too late to study. ”

Yan Mutang nodded, secretly saying that this Yi Xiaoer is also well-informed and can speak well. He also said: "This time, Yi Gongzi was able to bring so many huge ships, presumably General Qi must be very happy, Yi Gongzi, I will not keep you." I have sent someone to inform General Qi, at this moment he will discuss the military situation in the Dengzhou Mansion, you can go straight to it, if you see you another day, I am inviting Yi Gongzi to get drunk and rest! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Then Yi Xiaoge took a carriage along the post road towards Dengzhou City, which has been an important place for coastal defense since ancient times, not only with high walls and thick walls, but also with sufficient soldiers and horses. The grain and grass hoarded in it can be eaten by the Dengzhou military horses for five years, Yi Xiaoge arrived at the city and there were already guards waiting for a long time, under the leadership of the guards, Yi Xiaoge went around and finally came to the Dengzhou Mansion that was quite magnificent.

"Yi Gongzi will wait here, and I will go to invite the general!"

The guards took Yi Xiaoge to a living room, and a small servant served a cup of tea, and it took about half an hour before he heard heavy footsteps outside the door.

Yi Xiaoge hurriedly got up and walked to the door, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a red robe and bronze armor, a bauhinia silver helmet, a rough face, and a dark complexion walking in.

"Let Yi Gongzi wait for a long time! Qi is busy with military affairs and it is difficult to get out, so I hope that Gongzi Haihan! As soon as Qi Jiguang walked in, he clasped his fists with his hands at Yi Xiaoge, there was no joy or anger on his face, his face was upright, but he could vaguely see some annoyance between his eyebrows.

Yi Xiaoge was so excited that he forgot what to say at the moment, this is one of the greatest national heroes in history, he used to only know about it from textbooks and movies, but now he has witnessed it from the game It is completely two moods.

"The general bothered and worked hard for the troubles, how dare he blame him, but he was afraid that he would delay the general's important affairs because of the trouble." Yi Xiaoge also clenched his fists and said, he had secretly turned on the camera, and he wanted to record this historic moment.

"Yi Gongzi is welcome, I have already heard what Mr. Yan said, Gongzi actually brought 10,000 warships this time, it is really God who helps me. I believe that the plague of the Japanese will be eliminated in the near future! ”

"I am willing to take the lead for the general and serve the dogs and horses!"
