The soldiers of the Dengzhou Guard Station didn't figure it out, they were obviously a bitter haha, fishing on the beach every day for a living, and suddenly one day a pie fell from the sky and smashed themselves rich.

They were dressed in first-class armor, their spears were all replaced with first-class iron spearheads, and their tattered bows and arrows were replaced with brand-new Kaiyuan bows, which were exactly the same as the equipment of the border army.

A few taels of silver per person was paid a month's military salary, and the military salary had not yet been counted in the food. The new boss also gave them food, and each of them was given a few large bags of rice and dried meat.

That good thing is really brushed and carried home.

In just a few days, a group of poor people who drove a broken boat, wore rags, and couldn't eat enough haha turned into a group of poor people with red faces.

In their hearts, Jiang Cheng's image has also become extremely lofty.

Now ask the Dengzhou sailors whether they are willing to die for the emperor or for General Jiang, there is no doubt that it is the latter.

However, the sailors still saw one thing, there was still a little gap between themselves and General Jiang's personal soldiers, and they still used bows, arrows, spears, and broadswords, while General Jiang's personal soldiers used all firearms!

This gap is worth paying attention to!

Who wouldn't want to climb up? I want to change from an ordinary guard soldier to General Jiang's personal soldier, so that I can eat this bowl of rice steadily.

So, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Guard, elected a representative, and came to Jiang Cheng: "General, we know that we have just come under your command, and we can't trust you for the time being, but we are willing to work hard, how can we become your henchmen, you just have to order, we will do it." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled: "This is not difficult. ”

He swiped the ground and found a book, "Book from Heaven: Military Discipline and Military Regulations".

He handed the book to the deputy: "If all of you can learn this book well, after our political examination, I can make you my confidants and soldiers, and distribute you with the same firearms as my soldiers." ”

The representative hurriedly took the book with both hands: "Understood! General Jiang, don't worry about this matter, we will definitely study this book with our hearts. ”

What is it to study a book for the sake of your own long-term meal ticket?

Fight it!

Under the guidance sent by Jiangcheng, the Dengzhou sailors began to study hard and strive to make progress......

At the same time that the Dengzhou sailors were learning to pay attention to discipline.

Guangzhou, Humen, open sea.

John Weddell, a former British Royal Navy officer, is leading a fleet of four galleons on the coast.

By this time, Spain's maritime supremacy had declined, the Armada had fallen in 1588, and the English navy was on the rise.

However, when the British fleet sailed thousands of miles to the East, they found that the trade routes of the Golden Country of the East had long been monopolized by the two front teeth of Spain and Portugal, and by the way, a Dutch was added.

Not long ago, Weddell led a fleet to Macau, wanting to buy some goods in Macau, but the Portuguese in Macau refused to allow him to call at the port.

Although the British were already able to run amok in Western Europe, in this far-flung Far Eastern country, Weddell relied on only four sailing ships and did not dare to provoke the Portuguese landlords in Macao.

Therefore, he hit the idea on the Ming Dynasty.

"Admiral, our schooner Anne has entered the mouth of the Pearl River and surveyed the shipping lane, and it won't be long before the charts here can be drawn."

One of his subordinates reported to Weddell, "However, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have discovered us. ”

Weddell snorted: "The sailor of the Ming Dynasty? Is it all those battered hard sailboats we saw along the way? Is that also worthy of being called a sailor? ”

The subordinates also laughed: "It's the subordinates who said it wrong, the garbage of the Ming Dynasty found us and sent someone over to negotiate." ”

Weddell: "Well, listen to what they have to say. ”

Soon, a small boat of the Canton sailors approached the side of the British galleon, and a small civil official belonging to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty climbed onto the galleon and walked in front of Weddell.

"The official's name is Kailong, a minor official of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, who is responsible for foreign affairs." The civil official first introduced himself, and then said: "We saw that you sent a small boat into the Pearl River, that is your pathfinder boat, right?" This behavior is very rude, and we demand that you immediately take back the pathfinder ship and not enter the territory of our Ming Dynasty at will. ”

The Portuguese translator Weddell brought with him immediately helped to translate the Chinese into English into English.

After listening to this, Weddell looked arrogant: "This is a merchant ship of the British Empire, my name is Weddell, I am here to do business, the weather on the sea is a little not good, I am worried that there will be a typhoon, so I plan to let the fleet enter the river to take shelter." ”

Kai Long: "It's okay to enter the inland river to avoid typhoons, I am a state of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no problem in providing sheltered harbors for friends from afar, but this matter must first obtain the consent of my Ming court, not that you can send a boat to explore the way." ”

Weddell sneered, and wanted to choke: How can I drop it if I probe it?

But his subordinates whispered: "Admiral, don't force your way, the Anne is still exploring the way, we are not familiar with the hydrology around here, and we are not ready for battle, so it is too early to turn our faces at this time." ”

Weddell changed his face and smiled: "Oh, that's really sorry, we came from afar, and we don't know the rules of the Ming Dynasty, now that we know, please allow me to solemnly apply, borrow a port, and avoid typhoons." ”

Chiron glanced at the sea to the east, judging from the experience he had accumulated over the years of living in Guangdong for a long time, it was impossible for any typhoon to come in a short period of time.

Chiron turned back to look at Weddell and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, I don't see a typhoon coming, your fleet is safe." I don't think it's necessary for you to enter the inland river to avoid the typhoon, so please lead the fleet to leave as soon as possible, and you must not stay in the territorial waters of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Weddell cursed in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be a polite English gentleman: "I know, we will leave as soon as possible, but the light-sailing ship that explored the way is now far away, and we have no way to contact it from a distance...... We don't have a boat to chase it back. ”

Chiron frowned, and he already felt that something was wrong in his heart, but in this era when there was no wireless communication, he really couldn't find fault with the other party's words, so he had to tell him again: "After the light sail comes back, please leave immediately." ”

After saying that, Kailong got off the boat, boarded the boat of the Guangzhou sailor, and returned to the shore.

Weddell looked at his distant back, and his pretending gentlemanly demeanor disappeared in an instant, revealing a pirate's cruel smile: "These waste dwarfs, when I find out the waterways, let you know what the Royal Navy of the British Empire is." ”
