When several generals present heard that Cheng Yu had scavenged more than 3 million stones of grain, they naturally showed joy one by one.

As long as there is enough food, they will not panic in their hearts, as the saying goes, there is food in their hands, and their hearts are not panicked, but this is not false at all.

Several people couldn't help but praise Cheng Yu, but Cheng Xiangwu, who was sitting on the side and had not spoken, gently tapped on the table, his eyes fell on Cheng Yu's body, and he slowly spoke: "Is it really only more than three million stones?" What do you have to be proud of when a huge Moscow city has only scavenged such a small thing? ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, obviously they were a little confused by Cheng Xiangwu's words, Cheng Xiangwu was really reprimanding Cheng Yu, or was he just deliberately saying it to everyone?

Cheng Yu was obviously very in awe of his father, and his expression changed slightly when he heard Cheng Xiangwu's outspokenness.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Yu said to Cheng Xiangwu: "Return to the marshal, the last general doesn't know, and ask the marshal for guidance." ”

Lu Dazhu opened his mouth and said to Cheng Xiangwu at this time: "Brother Cheng is too harsh, it is not easy for Cheng Yuxian's nephew to do this at his age. ”

While speaking, Lu Dazhu explained to Cheng Yu, who had a puzzled expression: "Virtuous nephew, your father's intention is that you are too benevolent to a woman, and there are no less than 10 million stones of grain and grass in the city, why do you only get three or four percent?" ”

Hearing Lu Dazhu's words, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but change slightly, how could they not understand the meaning of Lu Dazhu's words.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yu in unison, Cheng Yu could be taken by Cheng Xiangwu's side, naturally it was impossible to be unattainable, otherwise, with Cheng Xiangwu's words alone, Cheng Yu would definitely not have today's achievements.

Therefore, even if Cheng Yu understood what Lu Dazhu meant, a little hesitation and struggle flashed on his face, but soon Cheng Yu let out a sigh of relief, bowed to Cheng Xiangwu and said, "Thank you for your advice!" ”

After speaking, Cheng Yu saluted everyone and strode away.

Lu Dazhu couldn't help but brush his beard when he looked at Cheng Yu's distant back, drank a glass of wine, and laughed: "Happy, Cheng Yuxian's nephew's future is limitless!" ”

At this moment, it could be seen that Cheng Xiangwu had a somewhat satisfied look in his eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied with Cheng Yu's reaction.

In this era, the Western world can be said to be hierarchical, and even slavery prevailed, and serfdom lasted for thousands of years.

It can be said that as the core of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, anyone who can live in this city can be regarded as a superior person in terms of identity.

The landlords, nobles, and their servants were allowed to live in the city, but the lowly serfs were not qualified to live in the city.

In the past, Cheng Yu confiscated his family property and looked for those high-ranking families, and he knew that his identity was good just by looking at his house.

But this kind of big household is only a few after all, and it is not bad for Cheng Yu to be able to confiscate more than 3 million stones of grain.

But in this city, in addition to the kind of high-ranking nobles, there are large farmers, these big farmers are limited by their status, it is difficult to be high-profile in the city, and it is impossible to live in such a luxurious mansion, but this is not to say that these farmers have no family background.

Perhaps when it comes to the gold and silver artifacts hidden in the house, as a farmer, he naturally cannot compare with those nobles, but the food in the homes of these farmers is very large.

Cheng Yu obviously ignored these before, and regarded these farmers as ordinary people, but didn't he know that these were not ordinary people at all, but high-ranking farmers.

When a group of soldiers under the leadership of Cheng Yu rushed into the homes of these farmers, truckloads of grain were pulled out.

In order to operate these grains, Cheng Yu personally went to the military camp and transferred as many as 10,000 men and horses after asking Cheng Xiangwu's military order.

With more than 10,000 people and horses in hand, Cheng Yu's speed of collecting the grain in the city was greatly accelerated, and in just a few days, he was stunned to loot more than 6 million stones of grain and grass.

At this time, Cheng Yu stopped under Cheng Xiangwu's military order, and now most of the grain and grass in the city are in the hands of Daming, if there is no accident, the problem of grain and grass in the army has been solved at least in the next year or two.

On the huge school field, Cheng Xiangwu, Lu Dazhu and other generals gave an order, with Cheng Yu as the vanguard, and the army was launched.

However, it is said that in the waters of England, a battle at sea, the two sides invested more than 1,000 warships on the sea for nearly a day, and the battle lasted until the evening, when night fell, and the two sides had to withdraw their troops because of the weather.

In a port, warships that had just retreated from the battlefield docked in the port, and it was black.

Above the town within the harbor was brightly lit, in one of the best compounds in town.

Several commanders of the coalition forces and dozens of coalition generals gathered here, with a blazing bonfire, everyone drinking spirits, eating barbecue, and talking excitedly about today's achievements.

I only heard a red-bearded general say with a little excitement: "Everyone, is Da Ming just like this?" If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, we would have had half a day at most, and we would have been able to gain an absolute advantage......"

The general had a distinctive red beard, one eye with an eye patch, his hair was unkempt, and the ugly scar on his face made him very terrifying.

Sitting there, a straight, well-groomed general looked at the red-bearded general with a very disgusted and disdainful gaze and said with a bit of mockery: "Captain Cook, you don't think that you pirates alone can destroy the Aketo fleet. ”

It turned out that this Redbeard turned out to be a pirate, in fact, many of the warships participating in the war today are actually pirates, whether it is England or Portugal or other maritime powers, they will more or less raise some pirates.

Something that is inconvenient for a regular fleet to do will naturally be left to the pirates who have been kept to do.

It is really too much pressure on the Ming Dynasty to the countries, in order to do their best to dispatch people and horses to deal with such a Ming fleet as Yu Dayou, the countries have even requisitioned the pirates they have kept on weekdays.

However, it can also be seen from this that countries were really frightened by the Ming Dynasty's move to destroy Spain, and if it were not so, there would not have been such a big reaction.

Hearing this, the red-bearded pirate couldn't help but glare at the general, and grinned: "Oh, if Cook and I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency should be a member of the Spanish Exile Army, tsk, dignified Spain was wiped out, if it were me, I would have found a place where no one was to hide, how did Your Excellency have the courage to come out and show your face?" ”

"You ......"

When the general heard this, he suddenly got up angrily as if he had been stabbed in the foot, and pointed at the red-bearded pirate, if it weren't for his companions on the side who pulled him back, he was afraid that he would have pounced on him and fought with him.

The red-bearded pirate, on the other hand, looked at the general with disdain and sarcasm.

At this moment, a light cough came, and I saw a general dressed in a fancy costume speak: "Cook and Aris shut up Ben Shuai, and don't look at what kind of place this is, if you really have no strength and no place to use it, Ben Shuai will order you to go and fight with the Ming people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the red-bearded pirate and the general of the Spanish exile army immediately closed their mouths and became extremely honest.

Whether it is the red-bearded pirate or Aris, in fact, as long as the two of them are in awe of the Ming fleet in their hearts, they dare not have the slightest contempt, especially the red-bearded pirate, don't look at the lightness he said, in fact, if he is really allowed to face the Ming fleet, the red-bearded pirate will definitely run away, and a fool will fight with such a strong fleet.

The one who opened his mouth was William, the commander of the English Navy, and what William represented here was the English Navy, and you must know that among the coalition forces, England and Portugal accounted for about forty percent of the military strength.

Don't underestimate only forty percent, you must know that there are more than a dozen large and small countries that make up the coalition army, so that in addition to England and Portugal, the remaining dozen or so countries together account for sixty percent.

William, as Wang Chu, naturally has a noble status, coupled with his own strength, so he is almost a man of his word in the coalition army, and even the Portuguese governor has to sell his face.

At this time, William's eyes swept over the generals and said slowly: "Everyone, in today's battle, although we said that we were not able to destroy the evil Ming fleet, but we also hit the other party hard, as Cook said, if it were not for the darkness, we may not be able to completely destroy the other party, so the Ming fleet is not invincible, as long as we can work together, the evil Ming fleet is not our opponent at all......"

Bang bang bang

The Portuguese governor clapped his hands and looked at Crown Prince William with a smile on his face and said, "Prince William is right, we will win this battle!" ”

The night was deep, and the ships in the harbor were docked in it, and the water rippled and creaked.

In the darkness, a faint black shadow can be seen slowly approaching from the sea, but it is difficult to see the distant scene clearly at night, so unless it is close, it may not be possible to see things in the dark from a distance of hundreds of meters.

On the top of the watchtower, several coalition soldiers were sleepy, yawning and leaning against the railing, almost falling asleep.

Suddenly, there was a dull sound, and several soldiers on the watchtower woke up and subconsciously looked over, but suddenly there was a rumbling explosion around them, and they suddenly woke up, and screamed loudly: "Enemy attack ......"
