Chapter 597: We Ourselves Are Mingjiao
The ships were backward, all wooden warships.
The power is also sails plus human paddling.
The weapons they are equipped with are bows and arrows, as well as cold weapons such as scimitars.
Follow the ass of the Ming fleet and sail to the Persian Gulf.
However, their speed was too slow, even if they set off a few days earlier, they couldn't catch up with the pace of the Ming fleet, not to mention that they had delayed their departure for two days.
……
A few days later.
The Ming ships entered the Persian Gulf in a mighty way, and the dilapidated and backward boats of the surrounding countries of Persia were directly frightened when they saw it. It's like seeing a giant on the sea, and they flee in all directions.
The Ming fleet has a total of ten 'Gun-class' giant warships this time, and most of the rest are Xiandeng-class and Chima-class.
These ten giant ships have their own names, which are called "Hairy Crab", "Big Yellow Croaker", "Sea Cucumber", "Abalone" and "Big River Shrimp......
A proper seafood dish is served deliciously.
It fully embodies the habit of Chinese people who love to eat.
According to Lao Zhu's meaning, I originally wanted to give them a mighty and domineering name, such as Longxiang, Leopard Tao and other names, at least they should be similar to the god of fire, the god of water, the god of dragons, and so on.
However, he gave the right to name the Jixia School Palace, and the Jixia School Palace was a group of young people.
Young people have strong creativity, and like to innovate, spoof spirit, so the first batch of Ming giant ships, named a batch of seafood.
Lao Zhu had to nod helplessly to accept when he heard this.
Later, after those old and serious ministers got used to hearing it, they also felt that there was nothing wrong with such a name. At the very least, it doesn't follow the rules and sticks to the old ways, and it's very down-to-earth.
"This table of seafood is enough to make anyone's mouth water, and their index finger will be moved." Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "All the delicious food is on the table, it depends on whether they have this mouthful." ”
"Mr. Qin, is there the Persian Gulf ahead?" Handsome boat, on the hairy crab, Xu Da asked Qin Yu.
"That's it." Qin Yu put down the 'clairvoyance' in his hand and said.
"What's next?" Xu Da asked, "Do you send an envoy ashore to secretly contact the Persian Ming Sect, or ......?"
"It's too time-consuming to send an emissary ashore, and it's easy to get angry." Qin Yu said, "Say hello to them with a few shots first, and tell them that we are coming." ”
"How many shots first?" Xu Da and Maha were dumbfounded when they heard this.
"Say hello to each other in this way?" Maha only said.
"Sir, didn't you say before that if you want to outwit the heavens, you can't go to war directly?" Xu Dadao.
"Lao Xu, after you are named the Duke of Wei, if you want to go back to your hometown, what will you do?" Qin Yu said, "You will definitely wear brocade clothes and go back with a huge guard of honor, so as to tell your fellow villagers that you are developed." ”
"Not bad." Xu Dadao, "Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night." ”
"Remember," Qin Yu said, "the first time you see a stranger, whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, you must first show the other party your strong strength. ”
"When your friends see your great strength, they will respect you even more."
"When the enemy sees your great strength, he will be even more jealous of you."
"Makes sense!" Xu Dadao, "Fire!" ”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Bursts of artillery fire hit the land along the Persian Gulf coast.
The crowd in the city seemed to be facing the coming of heaven, hugging their heads and running away, and the ships on the sea fled in all directions.
……
"Chief, Bandar Abbas has come under unidentified artillery fire. The fire on the opposite side is so fierce that we are powerless to resist at all! "The chief of Abbas received an urgent military message from the front.
"Why don't you fight back with 'Heavenly Fire'?" Chief Beyan asked in Persian.
"Our Heavenly Fire is a child's toy in the eyes of the other party...... "Our ships can't get close to their ships within ten miles, and the Heavenly Fire is still thrown by hand...... To throw with your hands, you must be within 100 paces of your opponent. ”
"It can't be Tianzhu people who did it, right?" Bei Yang said, but then shook his head, "They don't have such a lot of firepower. ”
"Let's go, and I'll see for myself Chief Ben."
"Chieftain, danger!" The men under his hands hurriedly persuaded.
"The port is about to be bombed into ruins, you tell me it's dangerous?" Ignoring the dissuasion of his men, Beyan quickly put on his armor and then went to the battlefield with his personal guards.
Soon, he saw with his own eyes the terrifying fire of the enemy.
The description of the subordinates is not exaggerated at all, and even said that the other party's firepower is small. The other party's artillery fire was almost like death descending, like a god was using his magic powers, summoning meteorites and flames in the sky.
The artillery fire in the sky, and the flying debris from the explosion, made him can't help but have an illusion:
Did you offend a certain god and be punished by God?
However, most of the other side's shells fell outside the deserted city, and only one or two fell into the city.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if all the shells fell into the city. I am afraid that his city will be reduced to ruins in an hour.
"Although the opponent's firepower is fierce, it is not good at the head." Amid the deafening sound of artillery fire, Beyan said.
"Perhaps, this is something that someone else deliberately did not accurate?" The man under his hand said.
Half an hour later, the earth-shattering artillery fire finally stopped.
Why don't you fight?
Bayan was amazed.
"Do you think it's possible that the one who attacked us was a Tianzhu person?" Bei Yang asked the commander of the guards beside him, "The Tianzhu people have always had a disagreement with us. ”
The seaport of Tianzhu and the Persian seaport have always had maritime trade exchanges, and as long as there are exchanges, there will be conflicts of interest.
Friend or foe.
"Not that way." The commander of the guards said, "Tianzhu people, they don't have such a strong strength at all. And the firepower in the hands of the other party is simply the power of the gods, which is too terrifying. ”
The commander of the guards was apprehensive.
When fighting such an enemy, they have no ability to fight back.
"Since the other party did not attack the city, but only attacked outside the city, and stopped attacking, it means that there is room for negotiation." After thinking for a while, Beyan said, "Take Hado, you go with Chief Ben to see who the other party is." ”
"Chief, this trip is dangerous, please don't put yourself in danger!" The men under his command hurriedly admonished.
"With the other party's firepower, it is a matter of minutes to kill us, and there is no difference between going and not going." "It's better to see where the enemy is coming from, and then make peace with the other party." ”
"The Chief doesn't have to go there himself." At this time, a front-line general hurriedly came to report, "The subordinates have found out, and on the other side, it is a person from Mingjiao." ”
"We are flooded with water that has washed the Dragon King Temple."
"Nonsense, we ourselves are Mingjiao." Bayan Road.
