Chapter 1108: Unfathomable
On Qinhuangdao, Liu Jian took hundreds of officials without stopping for a moment, and when he learned that Zhu Houzhao had been found by Ye Chunqiu and boarded the ship, a big stone finally fell in his heart, no matter what, His Majesty was safe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But now, when he saw that the fleet began to anchor Yang Fan, he finally let go of his heart, but he lifted it again.
Where is Your Majesty going?
While he was hesitating, the hundred officials behind him whispered, they were standing on the dock, and they didn't know what to do, when suddenly, on the watchtower, the alarm sounded.
The bell rang, first in one place, then in two, then three, and in four places.
Throughout Qinhuangdao, everyone put down their work and looked at the sea nervously one by one.
At sea level, masts emerge, like lotus leaves in a pond, with only a sharp corner exposed.
Someone shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"
As soon as these words came out, the island suddenly boiled, Liu Jian was startled, and hurriedly led the officials to the watchtower, which is similar to the pagoda, and many people have walked to the second, third, and fourth floors......
When they reached the top of the tower, it could only accommodate six or seven people, but there were also people watching on the ninth floor, but at this moment, everyone was so shocked that their faces were not good.
They saw ships, not one, but ten, no, it looked like there were hundreds, or even more.
More and more ships of all sizes appeared, and one by one they were scattered in the distant ocean, scrambling to come, and they began to remove some of the canvases, as if to reduce some speed, but still with the inertia and the remaining sails, the ships came from the depths of the ocean like ghosts.
"This ...... What is it? Liu Jian's face was as earthy as the color of the earth, and he said anxiously: "Where is the ship?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and only one of the attendants whispered, "It seems to be a Japanese ship." ”
"Wabune, is it a Wako?"
The faces of all the officials stiffened in unison.
Everyone knows that the Japanese are good at ships, otherwise where did the Japanese who crisscrossed the southeast come from? And such a huge fleet, they have never seen it, thinking of the ferocity of these widows in their impressions, and then looking at the only thirty or so Zhenguofu fleets that sailed out of the bay, they still feel that this fleet is huge, but now compared to it, it is so small.
"It's over." Liu Jian's face was already pale, and he muttered, "Your Majesty is still on the boat." ”
This time one is not good, and it is very likely that it will be served in a pot.
Liu Jian felt that there would be no luck at all, and he stared at the fleet heading towards the enemy ship, speechless for a while.
…………………………
On the sea, countless Japanese ships, mixed with many smuggling merchant ships, shuttled under the cover of Japanese ships.
The first one of the Japanese ships was decorated with the coat of arms of chrysanthemums, so that many ships in the vicinity were guarded here.
The ship was obviously extraordinary, but more importantly, there was a very important figure on this ship, who had just come out of the cabin, he was wearing only a thin shirt, and outside the low door of the cabin, several samurai in full armor knelt in front of the cabin door, whispering something.
A woman's voice came from the cabin, and then the honorable widow reluctantly walked out of the cabin.
His face looked a little pale, and he didn't even wear armor to go out of the cabin, just a satin coat from the Central Plains, and this wine-colored hollowed-out body gave people a taste of squirrel.
"General." Several samurai bowed their heads in unison.
There are not many people who call themselves generals in the Wa Kingdom, and Ashikaga Yoshisai is definitely the most well-deserved one, he is the tenth general of the Muromachi Shogunate, but at this time the Shogun of the Shogunate of the Shogunate, it can't help but seem a little cheap, Ashikaga Yoshisai is the epitome of the Shogunate of the Shogunate of the entire early Warring States period, he had previously been the general of the Shogunate, but he was soon deposed by the Shogun, after his brother became the general, it didn't take long, and because of internal strife, Ashikaga Yoshisai returned to Kyoto with the support of the Shogun Ouchi Yoshiko, and deposed the usurped Shogun of the Shogun, Re-received the Great General of Zhengyi.
He seems to know his status very well, this expedition, naturally also supported by Ouchi Yoshixing, Ouchi Yoshixing said what to do, he had to do it obediently, yes, he is a puppet, but many times, it is better to be a puppet than to be a lost dog, at least ...... Ouchi Yoshiko pays tribute to his beauty and always satisfies himself.
This expedition to the Ming Kingdom, although in the country is shouting gongs and drums, claiming to conquer the Ming Dynasty, in fact, what is going on, Ashikaga Yoshisai is very clear, this is Ouchi Yoshixing and the Ming private businessmen reached an agreement, and just supported himself to become the general of the expedition, and uphold the national government of the Ouchi Yoshixing, obviously also understood that his prestige was not enough to suppress the minister, so he chose this expedition very smartly.
The purpose of the expedition is to establish prestige, not to mention that this time, the attack is not on the inland of the Ming Dynasty, but on an island of the Ming Dynasty, and with the assistance of the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants, this is a battle that must be won.
Well, this doesn't seem to have much to do with Ashikaga Yoshisai, he's just a captive general, and he's now very content with the status quo, this time, his personal expedition to the general of the Yamachi is just a formality, this time Ouchi Yoshiko gathered a lot of famous ships, 13,000 soldiers, and a lot of private ships of the Ming Dynasty came, just to fight a beautiful battle.
Now, after a long voyage, Ashikaga Yoshisai finally saw a little eyebrow, he saw more than thirty ships appear alone in his eyes, and then he smiled, with a hint of mockery in his smile......
Then, Ashikaga Yoshisai hurried back to the cabin and said, "Please take the Ouchi Governor to supervise the battle, I will watch from the wall here, just to watch a good show." ”
"Hey!" One of the samurai kneeling beside him was Ouchi Yoshiko, the head of the shogunate.
At this moment, Ouchi Yoshiko had already stood up and said to Ashikaga Yoshisai respectfully: "Please ask the general to wait here for good news." ”
After that, Ouchi Yoshixing hurriedly arrived on the deck, and saw the more than thirty ships of the Ming Dynasty not far away, and an unfathomable smile appeared on his face.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, Ouchi Yoshixing is too clear, this time the reason why he found this expedition with the general from the beginning, has his complete political calculations, just coerced the general to make the Daimyo Ouchi Yoshixing very clear, if there is not enough prestige, it is impossible to dominate the daimyo, and Daming has no sailors at all, this time, he requisitioned all the navies in the name of the general to attack Qinhuangdao, is to take advantage of this war to make a name.
