At the end of November of the second year of the new year, a huge fleet of more than 500 large and small ships came from east to west, and this fleet had been on the sea for half a month.

"King Yanping, our fresh water is not enough, and the food is not enough, so we continue sailing, and a few people on the Yongfu ship are sick, and the soldiers and civilians on the same ship think that they have the plague and say that they will throw them into the sea, but the families of these people do not agree, and there is already a trouble."

The frown of the king of Yanping has been wrinkled into the word Sichuan, life at sea is very difficult, and the entire fleet can only accommodate a maximum of 20,000 people has reached the limit, but now it is forced to squeeze 100,000 people, almost all the ships are crowded with people, in desperation, the sailors have to throw away all the things that can be thrown down in the ship, even the guns on the battleship have been thrown into the sea, the fleet of fresh water, food, medicine are very scarce, if it is not for the occasional relief when the sea ships along the road pass by, I am afraid that more people will die.

This is not the way to go, King Yanping knows that the soldiers and civilians on the ship are the foundation of their Zheng family, and no matter what, he will lead them to land. He gave a bitter order: "Let everyone endure for a few more days, we have reached the Manjinga Sea, as long as we stay up for a few more days, we can reach Burma." It is said that the king ordered that everyone except the sailors should only share a small glass of water every day and eat three taels of dry food. As for the few who were sick and threw them into the sea, if it was a plague, wouldn't they kill a boatload of men? You can't be soft-hearted in this kind of thing. ”

"King Yanping, it's not a way to go on like this, now the fleet is very short of anything, and it's time to land. We may only have half a breath left, and we will become fish on their board without having to start anew. Chen Yonghua looked at this young king with worry, the longer he stayed with Zheng Jing in the past few days, the more he felt that this new king of Yanping was really in vain, although his intelligence was not worse than his father, but his heart was very small. In his eyes, he only thought about Zheng's one-third of an acre. It's okay to let him be a rich man, but if you want to dominate Nanyang, one day Xu Tu Central Plains will be really difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Chen Yonghua couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that Chen Yonghua's father Chen Ding hanged himself because of the country's ruin, Chen Yonghua was only sixteen years old, and he fled to Xiamen alone but was appreciated by Zheng Chenggong. If there was no Zheng Chenggong, there would be no Chen Yonghua today, he is a person who attaches great importance to righteousness. Since he agreed to Zheng Chenggong's deathbed entrustment, no matter how bleak the future is and how difficult and dangerous the road is, he must also assist Zheng Jing well. laid a family business for the Zheng family.

Zheng Jing is now a master of the six gods, and said: "What should Sen Chen think about us? Nowadays, the fleet is adrift at sea, and it cannot dock at will. ”

Chen Yonghua couldn't come up with an idea when he muttered, it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and now that she was suffering so much, I am afraid that even Kong Ming could only lie straight back in the coffin board.

At this time, the sailor who was looking at the mast shouted: "There are three Western warships ahead. No. It's four, five... Five. No, it's seven. There is also a strange big ship, dozens of feet longer than a Western warship. No, there are dozens of big merchant ships behind, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, whose sailor is this, there are so many ships? ”

The whole fleet boiled all at once, and many people's faces were not very good-looking, and some said that it was a Dutch enemy ship, and some said that it might be a merchant ship. People have been on the desperate ship for half a month, no matter what the other party is from, there is always more hope, so they climb to the side of the boat to look.

"It's the Daming sailor, we have been saved, it's the Daming sailor......" The fleet boiled again.

Zheng Jing's face was bitter, looking at the huge eight warships and merchant ships in the distance slowly sailing, he glanced at Chen Yonghua, who was full of sorrow, and said: "That main ship is so big, hey, if this king's sailor is the same......"

The two fleets began to slowly stop on the sea, and the Ming fleet had already lowered its small speedboats and quickly galloped towards the main ship of Zheng's fleet.

"Liu Er, the commander of the last general sailor battalion, see His Royal Highness the King of Yanping, His Royal Highness has worked hard all the way."

"General Liu doesn't have to be polite." Liu Er got on the landlord ship of the Zheng Navy Division and exchanged salutes with the King of Yanping.

"King Yanping, the emperor has sent the last general to lead the fleet this time to greet you." Liu Er said as he looked at the sailors around him, and saw that they all had dishes on their faces, and their hands and feet were weak, the main ship was like this, and the people on other ships were probably not much better. Liu Er secretly thought that the Zheng family's fleet came this time, and as the emperor expected, it lacked many supplies, so it would be much easier.

Zheng Jing saw that Liu Er was respectful, but he was relieved, and said: "You came just in time, the fleet is lacking many living needs, I don't know if the general's fleet has any surplus, if there is, you can temporarily help some." ”

Zheng Jing's words were very tactful, and even very polite, thinking that he was the dignified King of Yanping, but he had to bow his breath in front of a small commander, which was really depressed.

Liu Er spread his hands and replied very simply: "King Yanping, don't blame, the last general didn't think that the fleet lacked supplies, and he knew that he would bring more when he left the port, but now there is no extra water and food on the fleet, so I'm really sorry." ”

Seeing the disappointed look on Zheng Jing's face, Liu Er sneered in his heart, and continued: "The last general looks at the fleet of the king of Yanping seems to be too crowded, otherwise, the last general's battleship can accommodate many people, if the king of Yanping can trust the last general, he can let a group of people move to the last general's battleship." ”

Zheng Jing didn't know what Liu Er's idea was, the people on the ship were really a burden to him, anyway, Liu Er didn't let his Zheng Jun get on the warship, not to mention that if he didn't allow it, he would make it clear that he couldn't trust Liu Er, and he couldn't annoy them at this time, so he nodded and said, "Then there is General Lao." ”

Hearing that a group of people were going to be transferred to the warships of the Ming army, Zheng's fleet immediately thundered with joy, and everyone was crowded on a boat like sardines for half a month, and they could only sit cross-legged on the deck and cabin when they slept, and there was no space to lie down, now it was okay, the Ming army's fleet had eight large warships and dozens of large sea ships, if it was not too crowded, it could be loaded with at least 20,000 people, and all of a sudden, I don't know how much space was saved for everyone.

Soon, under the coordination of the fleet, many Zheng ships began to put down the landing boats and swam towards the battleships......... .
