325, the Son of Heaven arrives [1/2]
In 1561, the year of sailing in the East China Sea, autumn!
Yi Yun and other sand pigeons of the imperial court waited so hard that their eyes were about to see through, during this period, his spell department professional "Dao Master" had also completed the level, promoted to a fourth-order "real person", and learned a lot of messy Five Elements spells, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and now he is waiting for the reinforcements and ships sent by the imperial court, ready to deal with the Dutch.
This morning, just after dawn, Yiyun got up and wandered around the back garden. Suddenly, I saw Chen Yuanyuan walking in, holding a paper roll in his hand, and his face was heavy.
"Round girl, is there any bad news?"
"Well, it's really not good news. Chen Yuanyuan sighed and said, "The news that I sent someone to inquire is finally back." β
"Sanjiang Pavilion is really powerful, far away in the Penghu Islands in the center of the sea, you can also find out the news. Iyun Khan: "How did you find out?"
"My spies went to Macao, and when they were in Macao to inquire about the news, they happened to bump into the envoys sent by the Dutch to Macao to buy materials for the construction of the city, and the spies bought the material dealers in Macao, boarded their ships, and delivered goods to the Penghu Islands, and collected the intelligence of the Dutch. Chen Yuanyuan said: "This spy was finally discovered by the enemy, and he desperately wrapped the paper scroll with the Qing newspaper around the leg of the sand pigeon and released it, but he had already died on the Penghu Islands. β
Hearing this, Yi Yun was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "He is a martyr, and the Great Meng Kingdom should erect a monument for him." β
"No need, those of us who are assassins and spies have already realized this. Chen Yuanyuan shook his head and said, "You better come and listen to the information he sent." The Dutch landed 1,500 soldiers on the Penghu Islands, and all of them were terrifying firecrackers. β
"What? Fifteen hundred firecrackers, I'll wipe it!" Iyun Khan: "This is troublesome, this is the most troublesome enemy we've encountered so far!"
"That's right, it's very troublesome!" Chen Yuanyuan frowned: "If the combat effectiveness of the Western firecrackers is the same as that of our Yiwu soldiers, it will be very terrifying, and fighting with such an army, the casualties will be very large." β
Yi Yun rolled his eyes, thought about the scene of the firecracker shooting with the "rain of bullets", only to feel a cold air from his body, and couldn't help but shudder. This is the battle of hot weapons, the casualties will be very huge, and you can't afford to hurt yourself with this little capital.
Chen Yuanyuan continued: "There are a total of six Dutch warships, all of which are luxurious Dutch galleons, each ship has forty-eight cannons, which is much more powerful than our Dafu ship, but it is a pity that the spies did not find out how many artillery they have, if these cannons are operated by ordinary people, then there is no need to worry." β
"Don't probe!" Yi Yun said seriously, "I'm sure that every cannon is operated by a professional 'artilleryman'. β
"Impossible!" Chen Yuanyuan frowned and said: "Six ships, if each ship has forty-eight artillerymen, that is more than two hundred artillerymen, it is too terrifying, the Netherlands is only a small country, how can there be so many artillery? β
"The West is different from our big buddy country. Yi Yun said very seriously: "If my expectations are correct, there are not many professions such as 'guard' and 'soldier' in the West, but they are rich in gunners and artillery, and there are not many people, but their combat power is strong, and they will be very difficult enemies to gnaw." β
"Really?" Chen Yuanyuan said: "Where did you get the information, I don't even know about this matter." β
"Ahem, this one, it's innate!" Yi Yun wiped this thing away with a dry laugh, frowned and sighed bitterly: "Oh my God, so many cannons, I'm really going crazy, this battle is definitely not easy to fight." His sister, if you want to deal with six Dutch galleons, even if Li Huamei and I are desperate, we can only deal with one at most, and what should we do with the other five?"...,
"Hasn't the court replied?"
"Not yet! I don't know what kind of plane the imperial court is doing. Yi Yun said distressedly: "I was worried that my recital was intercepted by the damn corrupt officials and did not show it to the emperor, so I never replied to me." β
Chen Yuanyuan squeezed his hand and said softly: "You are a dignified prince, the next son of heaven is first, no one dares to intercept your twists and turns, maybe the court is playing some tricks, I knew that when I sent spies to Penghu, I also sent one to the imperial capital at the same time." β
The two were talking intimately, when they suddenly saw Lu Xi stumbling in and shouted, "Boat, there are many boats, such a big ship...... The thirty-two father-in-law also came, and there were a lot of officials with stinky expressions, and the dock is now in chaos, Gao Fushuai, you go and take a look. β
"Huh?" Yi Yun Daqi: "What are you doing? If you don't reply to me, you will come directly to the messenger?" What does this mean?"
Chen Yuanyuan snorted lightly and said, "Lu Xi, you have to make it clear, such a messy report of information is not my Sanjiang Pavilion's style. β
Lu Xi was frightened by her, and suddenly her whole body softened, she was Chen Yuanyuan's subordinate at the beginning, but she betrayed Sanjiang Pavilion to join Yi Yun's side. Since Chen Yuanyuan's identity was exposed, he arrested Lu Xi and bullied him when he had nothing to do, so that Lu Xi now sees Chen Yuanyuan like a mouse seeing a cat, and his whole body trembles.
"Pavilion...... Lord Pavilion...... I...... That's all I can talk about...... Woo...... Don't punish me......" Lu Xi was frightened.
"No, it must be punished!" Chen Yuanyuan snorted: "Come to bed tonight and serve me to take a bath!"
"Woo......" Lu Xi muttered quietly, "People are not servants......
"What did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything, I must be there tonight. Lu Xi hurriedly changed his words.
Yi Yun looked funny next to him, and couldn't help but interject: "Stupid assassin, I will take a bath with the round girl tonight, if you come to serve the bath, you will serve me together, hehehe." β
"What?" Lu Xi was shocked, and his pretty face suddenly turned red: "I...... I don't use my mouth! It feels dirty. β
Evan: "......"
Chen Yuanyuan: "......"
How could this woman think of using her mouth to serve just in the bath? What a leaping and creative way of thinking! In other words, if she didn't use her mouth and wanted her to serve somewhere else, she would be willing to sweat!
Iyun laughed good-naturedly.
Chen Yuanyuan was jealous, and hurriedly said: "I won't punish you, I don't want you to serve tonight, go away." β
Lu Xi pursed his lips and left.
Yi Yun patted Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan girl, don't live in vain, I am the prince! Women can't be missing, it's useless for you to be jealous, it's better to accept your fate." β
Chen Yuanyuan flattened his mouth, very unhappy, but what Yi Yun said also made sense, you are a prince, it is impossible to have only one woman, and it is useless to be jealous about this matter: "Hmph, it's not fair! The queen should be able to raise a group of men, and the world is fair." Chen Yuanyuan said indignantly.
"No one forbids them to raise it!" Yi Yun smiled: "It's just that women themselves don't want to do this, after all, women's feelings are more delicate and cohesive, not as easy to be distracted as we men." β
"Wow, you admit that you are distracted, I will kill you!" Chen Yuanyuan raised his powder fist to flatten him.
Yi Yun laughed: "Don't make trouble, let's go to the dock to see what kind of messy guys are coming, is it the reinforcements sent by the imperial court." β
The two of them went out of the Huwang Mansion, boarded the big sand car, and went in the direction of the wharf, after a while, Wusong Wharf was in sight, Yi Yun looked forward, and suddenly sighed lightly, only to see that the scene on the wharf was a little different from usual.
Wusong Wharf is a free port built and managed by businessmen at their own expense, which is full of liberal commercial flavor, but today's wharf has a dignified and calm atmosphere. Many active merchants did not operate on the docks, but shrank in the mall and did not come out. ...,
There are soldiers in bright armor standing everywhere on the dock, these soldiers are dressed in a very remarkable way, their clothes and armor are all golden, and there are long feathers on the top of their heads, this thing seems to be called Yan Ling, and Yi Yun doesn't understand it very well. The shining goggles on their bodies, the scabbards around their waists were exquisite, and the leather boots on their feet were also of a very high grade.
The soldiers stood scattered, but faintly formed a large circle of guards, completely guarding a pier.
Yi Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Where did the elite soldiers come from?
Chen Yuanyuan's face sank: "This is ...... Don't underestimate them, every one of them is a third-order 'guard', and a second-order 'guard' is not qualified to enter this army at all. β
"Shenma?" Yi Yun Khan, he looked around, there were at least hundreds of these "Imperial Forest Army" on the dock, which means that hundreds of third-order 'guards' were stationed here?
He looked towards the edge of the dock guarded by the Royal Legion, and in the middle of the dense crowd of ships stood a huge ship of fortune, several times larger than his twenty-six-gun flagship "Hyperion", the huge hull of which was like a water fortress, with an extremely deep draft, occupying a large amount of water, and at least eighty guns sticking out of it.
The water fortress is also decorated in the shape of a dragon, with a dragon's head and a dragon's tail at the stern...... The paddle sticking out of the belly of the boat is a dragon's foot...... This ship carved railings and eaves, extremely gorgeous, showing a very high level of craftsmanship. It doesn't look like a warship at all, but it has stronger combat power than a warship. Yi Yun couldn't help but laugh and said: "This ship costs a lot of money, just look at the carving on the hull is very valuable, if this ship is bombarded by the enemy and damages a little skin, it will lose hundreds of taels of silver in maintenance costs." Who is so bored to go out to war in such a craft ship?"
Chen Yuanyuan's face changed greatly, and he said in a sweat: "This is not a craft ship, it is the Royal No. 1 of the Great Meng Kingdom, a giant dragon boat!"
