Chapter 184: A general who will not destroy the country is not a good general.

"Wow..."

In the waters of the Bay of Bengal, on the turbulent sea, hundreds of huge warships lined up in a long snake formation and slowly moved forward.

On the largest battleship in the middle, Zhang Fu, the commander of the Fifth Military Battalion, lay on the side of the ship and vomited.

"Wen Bi, I didn't say you, you are also a general who commands ten thousand armies, how can you not even compare to a woman."

Looking at Zhang Fu, who was vomiting, the old man pointed at him speechlessly, and then glanced at Zhao Ling'er, who was fishing with her husband and son on the bow plywood, without any symptoms of seasickness.

Zhang Fu wiped the corners of his mouth with a pale face, took the water handed over by the guards, rinsed his mouth and said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, if you let the minister fight on the shore and charge the enemy's army, there will be no problem at all, but on this sea, the minister is really a little weak, and he always feels fluttering and dizzy to fly."

"Hahaha..."

The old man smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, don't talk about you, you go back to the cabin to rest, I asked Li Hu, follow the map guidance, and you will be in the place in these two days!" ”

"When the time comes, you have a good rest, adjust your state, and there will be a big war to fight next!"

"After this big battle, you kid can also become a famous general!"

"In the words of that little cub, if you don't destroy a country in the Tang Dynasty, you are embarrassed to call yourself a famous general. Our generals of the Ming Dynasty can't be sent anywhere, and when you get ashore, you will also fight for Lao Tzu, destroy his mother's country, and give your father and me a long face. ”

"Haha, what His Royal Highness the Taisun said is reasonable, that's okay, the minister will retire and rest first, and when he has rested on the shore, he will follow Your Majesty to kill."

Zhang Fu confessed, and with the support of the soldiers, he staggered back to the cabin to rest.

In fact, the entire fleet was not just Zhang Fu, but the five military battalions and three thousand battalions that came over this time, including the eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied them.

Almost half of them were seasick.

The flagship was a little better, in order not to affect the mood of the old man, all those who were seasick were sent to other ships.

And other ships are miserable, especially troop carriers.

The sour smell is really sour.

Those soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who were no longer seasick after adapting to it, were washed away by this smell and became seasick again.

In the first two days on the ship, the scenes on each ship were simply unstoppable.

A few steps away, you will see a soldier spewing a river.

In the words of the head chef of the boats, they were very relaxed in those days, and they only needed to prepare some soup and snacks.

"Shenlong called Jiaolong No. 1, what is the situation ahead?"

After letting Zhang Fu go back to rest, the old man picked up the walkie-talkie and asked about the situation of the No. 1 ship.

Since the old man saw the walkie-talkie, it was like seeing a fetish.

bluntly said that when there is such a thing in war, the coach can at least be several times easier.

Even the old man had a big brain, thinking of sending one to each of the chief officials of the six cabinets in the capital.

In the future, if he has something to look for here, he doesn't need the eunuch to shout, just pick it up and call it.

When an edict is issued, he directly takes a walkie-talkie and just sprays it.

Zhu Zhangui also agrees with the old man's idea.

If the palace is equipped with a walkie-talkie network, the efficiency of work can definitely be increased by several times or even dozens of times.

At that time, Zhu Zhangui planned to exchange a batch and send it to the palace first.

As a result, he was rejected by the old man.

In the words of this old man, your father is still young, and it is easy to slack off with this kind of thing, so I will install it when I go back.

Zhu Zhangui: If you want to go back and pretend to be forced, just say it, you don't have to make so many excuses.

"Jiaolong 1 received, according to my observations, no islands and coasts were found, and the recorder estimated that the distance from the target island should be about 100 nautical miles."

"Okay, Shenlong received it, pay attention to the sea area, and report back immediately if there is any situation!"

"Jiaolong No. 1 understands!"

Asking about the situation in front of him every day, the old man handed the walkie-talkie to Xiao Snot, hummed a little song, and strode to the bow of the boat to see Zhu Zhangui and his little great-grandson fishing.

"How? What a catch! ”

Walking to the side of a family of three, the old man looked at the little guy who was seriously holding the small fish rod and looking directly at the sea, and couldn't help but smile and ask.

"Too, fish, so big!"

The little guy who just babbles can't speak completely, and grandpa will only shout too.

When the little guy saw his grandfather coming, he hurriedly pointed to the small bucket beside him, showing off the fish he caught.

Looking at the small fish in the bucket that was not yet the size of a palm, the old man forced a smile and praised him.

"Well, it's really big, my good grandson, it's amazing!"

Then he skimmed the hook that flew in mid-air and patted the little guy on the head.

"Little girl, grandpa will accompany you, let's eat grilled fish at night!"

The little guy nodded seriously, and gave the old man a little bit of the small bench under his buttocks very intimately.

The old man laughed, took the fishing rod handed over by the little snot, hung the bait and threw it into the sea, and sat on the little one's little stool for a little while.

Looking at the little guy who was chatting with the old man seriously, Zhao Ling'er, who was accompanying Zhu Zhangui, couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

This little guy is learning at the right time.

Zhu Zhangui has a serious expression in the army, and this little guy has followed his father for a few days, and he has also begun to keep a straight face every day.

Even when passing by the guards, he learned that his father raised his hand to salute the guards.

The guards on duty were often amused and returned the salute in a funny way to amuse the little one.

Although life at sea is a bit hard during this period of time, a family of three is together, and no other woman fights for her husband, Zhao Linger feels the sweet taste of home for the first time.

"It's going to be the place in the next two days, what are you going to do!"

After chatting with the little great-grandson for a while, the old man looked at the endless sea and asked Zhu Zhangui, who was also looking at the sea on the side, what did he plan to do when he arrived at the place?

Zhu Zhangui thought about it and replied.

"Let's take a look at the situation first, find out what the situation is there, if it's in our favor, let's do it immediately, if not, then create an opportunity to do it again."

The intelligence officer who drew the picture, Zhu Zhangui couldn't believe it at all.

The mapping intelligence officer he sent to the Wa Kingdom actually defected, and he also killed 9 other companions.

This made Zhu Zhangui feel that his face was dull.

This was the first time his men had betrayed him.

When the guy surnamed Du was caught, this guy also quibbled that he was imprisoned by the Japanese people.

The officer at that time believed his nonsense, and not only did not lock him up, but instead settled him well, planning to wait for Zhu Zhangui to come and report back.

As a result, the guy surnamed Du actually wanted to escape.

The officer who took him in felt that something was wrong with the situation and reported the matter to Jianghuai.

Jiang Huai found the imprisoned emperor and asked the other party if he knew about the situation.

As a result, this question was known.

This guy turned out to be a traitor, and he also killed 9 other intelligence officers, and even betrayed a lot of information about the Ming Dynasty to Ashikaga Yoshitomo.

In the face of traitors, Jianghuai has zero tolerance, and he will pull out his gun on the spot and kill this guy.

Later, Zhang Xian stopped him.

After all, this intelligence officer belongs to Zhu Zhangui's father-in-law, and it is somewhat inappropriate for the combat troops on their side to act rashly.

Later, the two reported this information to Zhu Zhangui, and Zhu Zhangui was also very angry after hearing it.

This was the first time that his men had given him a taste of betrayal.

However, Zhu Zhangui did not dispose of the other party, but brought the other party back to Daming and handed it over to his father-in-law.

Killing this guy is certainly relieving, but it's a bit of a waste.

Zhu Zhangui directly handed over the other party to his father-in-law, and used this guy as an educational material to warn other intelligence officers.

Zhu Zhangui estimates that after this guy is sent back, I am afraid that he will not have a good day.

He will face various punishments every day, and he will not die.

"You've wasted more than half a year dealing with things over there, and it's taken so much time to get there, if you don't get it sooner, I'm afraid you won't be able to end the war by the end of next year!"

"Once the war is over, I'm afraid those ministers will have to stand up against it."

Zhu Zhangui was silent.

To be honest, he was not sure that he would end the war within a year next year.

The current three countries are the most populous countries in the world.

Although the Ming Dynasty has a large land and abundant resources, after the rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and various wars in the later period, the population has declined rapidly.

In the current era, the most populous of the three countries is the three countries.

If the three countries are still in the stage of chaos between the two countries, it will be much easier for their side to start a war of conquest.

But if the current era is a unified country, it will be a bit difficult to conquer.

The memory of his previous life is too long, and Zhu Zhangui is not born to forget, and he doesn't know much about the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he knows that at this stage, the Three Kingdoms probably belong to the two chaotic countries.

The later one seems to be an empire called Moer, and the founder is a Turkic descendant.

It was not until the colonization of the East India Company that the ancient dynasty of the Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan came to an end, and then it was not until World War I, World War II, and even future independence.

When he and Zheng He went to sea and passed through India, they only stopped on the island of Ceylon.

Zhu Zhangui originally wanted to go and see if there was an opportunity to learn about their situation and see if there was any opportunity.

As a result, he was stopped by Zheng He.

In Zheng He's words, the folk customs here are very peculiar, and if you don't understand it, it is easy to have contradictions if you break in rashly.

Moreover, the three countries are still a large country with a large number of people and strong military strength, and it is very detrimental to the fleet to rashly clash with the other side.

"The main reason why the ministers of the DPRK and China oppose it is that the three kingdoms are too far away, and they cannot bring direct benefits to the imperial court, making them feel that their efforts are not proportional to their income."

Zhu Zhangui took back the fishing rod, took the teapot handed by his wife and took a sip.

"This country is really rich, and I believe that as long as we can bring back enough benefits, even if the war can't end next year, they will support us to continue fighting."

Zhu Zhangui turned his head to look at the old man.

"The benefits that Sun Er said do not specifically refer to the imperial court, but to the entire imperial court officials and the people of the whole world."

The old man nodded slightly, and motioned for Zhu Zhangui to continue.

"The people take food as their sky, and the interests of the people are nothing more than food and clothing."

"There is no shortage of grain in the three countries of Afghanistan and three crops a year, as long as we have enough ships, we can transport as much as we want."

"After the grain is shipped back, it fills the gap in the country's grain, and we can slowly reduce the people's grain tax."

"They have such a population, and they will definitely capture countless slaves after fighting."

"Bringing these slaves back to Daming can make them do a lot of things."

"Building bridges and paving roads, building city walls, repairing canals, these things that require levy of forced labor, these slaves can do it, and when the time comes, when the time comes, the imperial court can directly exempt them from forced labor."

The old man's face was a little ruddy.

Ancient and modern, it seems that no country has abolished the conscription, if the conscription was abolished in the Ming Dynasty, then his merits will be added to the annals of merit again.

Seeing that the old man habitually fell into fantasy again, Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, and then said.

"There is a good saying, when the people are rich, the country is strong."

"As long as the people are rich, well-fed, clothed and warm-lived, the empire will become stronger and stronger."

"And with enough money and food, we can also slowly reform the military households."

"Grandpa's military household system, to be honest, does have a lot of problems. And what's more troublesome is that this is the ancestral system set by the grandfather, the Ming Dynasty pays attention to filial piety first, and the emperors of later generations do not have enough prestige, and it is really difficult to move this system. ”

"So the problem of household registration must be solved when you are grandpa, otherwise the more it drags on, the more troublesome it will be."

"After all, those ministers don't dare to use the law of the ancestors to suppress you, compared to them, you know Grandpa better, and even you can say casually, saying that when Grandpa Tai set this system, he said that it was not suitable and could be changed, and they couldn't verify it."

"But our juniors are different, even if it is the emperor who has mastered the imperial court, it is very troublesome to move this system."

"This network is too big, and if you want to carry out reforms, you don't have absolute control and absolute prestige, and once you move this system, you will not only hurt yourself but also the country."

Listening carefully to what Zhu Zhangui said, the old man nodded in approval.

As his own grandson said.

There are many systems in the DPRK and China that want to move, and it is really only itself that is the most suitable.

After all, compared to those ministers, he knows Zhu Yuanzhang better.

A small Three Kingdoms, as long as it is done, can solve many problems.

Money, grain, population, land, minerals, mulberry ......

The more he thought about it, the redder his eyes became, and finally slapped the side of the boat hard.

"No matter how strong they are, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, let's fight them to the end, if it doesn't work for one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work for two years, it will be three years."

Turning his head to look at the eldest grandson standing beside him, the old man patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"Little cub, go and fight well, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, as long as grandpa is still alive, grandpa will carry it for you!"

"If you have any ideas, just tell me, if you can do it immediately, I will let people do it immediately, and if you can't, I will try my best to make him do it."

"The task I gave you is to make Daming truly rich and strong before grandpa dies!"

"Let the Ming Dynasty become the strongest and richest dynasty in history!"

"Woooooo Woooooo

Just when the grandfather and grandson were sitting on the bow of the ship and exchanging hearts, the warship in front suddenly sounded a warning signal.

Immediately after the little snot next to him, the walkie-talkie in his hand sounded a loud warning.

"Jiaolong No. 1 report, Jiaolong No. 1 report, an unknown warship group was found ahead, the number is about 20, and they seem to be fighting."

Zhu Zhangui and the old man threw away the fishing rod in their hands and stood up reluctantly.

Zhu Zhangui picked up the little guy who was still confused, handed it to Zhao Ling'er, who was a little nervous next to him, and said loudly.

"Take the child back to the cabin first, don't come out until the alarm is lifted!"

Zhao Ling'er nervously took the little guy, nodded vigorously, and said uneasily: "Husband, you have to be careful!" ”

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and then beckoned Little Snot to escort the two of them into the cabin quickly.

After the two women entered the cabin, Zhu Zhangui helped the old man and quickly entered the command room.

As soon as I stepped into the command room, various commands came from inside.

Li Hu, the chief officer of the navy, was holding a walkie-talkie and giving various orders.

"The battleships are ready for battle, put up battle echelons, and the troop carriers march to the middle!"

"Prepare the supply ships and deliver them as soon as they need supplies!"

The commanders on the flagship were also lying on the microphone, giving orders loudly.

"All artillery men enter positions, load their guns and get ready for battle!"

"The rest of the soldiers are ready to take on the side of the battle!"

As the order was given, the soldiers rushed into various combat positions.

Loaded shells for loading shells, transporting gunpowder for transporting gunpowder.

"Jiaolong No. 1 ship reports the situation!"

The walkie-talkie in Li Hu's hand suddenly sounded the voice of ship No. 1.

"Speak!"

"Report to the chief officer, our warship was found in the battleship group opposite, and it is suspected that the detachment sent over half a year ago."

"They are under siege by the enemy, the artillery fire is very weak, there may be a lack of gunpowder and shells!"

Our people.

The entire cabin was silent.

Li Hu glanced at the old man and Zhu Zhangui.

The old man waved his hand with a serious expression.

"You are the commander-in-chief of the navy, and the whole team, including me, obeys your orders, and you arrange according to your ideas!"

"The last general commands!"

The old man gave the command, and Li Hu took it directly.

Then he picked up the telescope and observed the situation in the distance, adjusted the channel of the walkie-talkie, and said loudly.

"Battleships No. 5 to No. 10 are immediately dispatched to attack the enemy's right flank!"

"Ships No. 11 and No. 15 made a detour from the left and attacked the enemy's left flank!"

"Ships from the 20th to the 28th will make a great detour to outflank the enemy's rear!"

"Brothers, this is our first real naval battle, tell me, do you have the confidence to eat them all!"

Li Hu held the walkie-talkie and asked loudly with a serious expression.

"If you don't break the enemy's army, you swear not to turn back!"

A loud roar came over the intercom.

"Okay, I order the whole army to speed up and start a battle with the enemy!"

"Kill!"

As Li Hu, the commander-in-chief, gave the order to start the war, the commander of the command room and the soldiers on duty outside collectively roared angrily.

One warship after another moved quickly according to the order, outflanking in a roundabout way.

Everyone was confident.

With the invincible strength of the Ming Navy, if they can't eat the enemy, then they, the naval commanders, can collectively commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

PA: In the past few days, there are too many people who are married, there are two families of relatives and friends, and there are two comrades-in-arms who used to be soldiers. It's too busy, but I try to keep two chapters a day, but the exact time is a bit unstable.
