More than 300 miles in the East China Sea directly opposite Wuzhou, several large ships docked near an isolated island formed by a reef.

A fast boat quickly approached, and when it heard the news from the front, the figure on the boat lowered its wine glass and let out a soft 'um' in its mouth.

As soon as the Japanese who were waiting to deliver the news left, the Uesugi retainers on the upper floor of the ship heard the sound of the wine glass shattering, and their eyelids jumped.

"Sure enough, they were still blocked by the civil and military forces of the Xia Kingdom, and they had resourceful strategists in the court!" The shirt and letter rubbed the bridge of his nose, and his tone was not as arrogant as before.

Obviously, a retaliation of the Xia Kingdom made Nagano City, which had just gained some complexion, instantly defeated, and those maritime merchants who were originally shocked turned to the seaport of Wuzhou in the Xia Kingdom again.

Originally, he fought back against the plague, but he didn't expect the other party to mobilize the power of the people to easily resolve this catastrophe.

In this secret contest, his side obviously suffered too much loss, and Date Masamune was cut off a hand, and in the era of the year, he fought with Date Masamune's father, until after his death, the opponent's son grew into an unsightly existence.

It's a pity that he was cut off a hand by this worldly assassin.

"If you can't effectively weaken the power of Xia Guo, you will grow every day, and you will grow to the point where you can't compete with it." The shirt and the letter frowned, leaning on the back of the chair and constantly thinking about the countermeasures behind, "Do you want to pay tribute to them like you did back then, and wait until you are weak, and then give a fatal blow?" ”

Thinking of this, he rejected the idea again.

"Even if we were willing, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom would not be willing, judging from his actions, unifying the six kingdoms did not satisfy his appetite. Having such an emperor on the other side is not good news for us. ”

At this moment, a fast boat came from the northwest direction, and then brought two pieces of news.

The good news is that the Emperor of Xia is at sea!

However, the bad news is that the Emperor of Xia's ship is too big, and ordinary sea ships are like young children in front of him, and they can't be shaken at all!

"This is a rare opportunity!"

On the one hand, he was worried that the Xia Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger, and when the other party came over with the power of destroying everything, it would be impossible to fight against the archipelago, and the only natural danger that could be relied on was the sea at the moment, but now that he heard that the other party had built a giant boat, this natural danger gradually disappeared.

The other party has also been building a naval army over the years, and the specific changes can be seen from the original Wu State naval army, especially the Zhenhai Division, which recently broke the plague ship, is a new position.

If this continues, the gap will only get shorter and shorter.

"But this opportunity can't just be missed, and it may be the only opportunity." Kanetin stood up and smashed his fist against the guardrail, "Nagano Yoshimasa!" ”

Behind him, among the retainers, a veteran stood up, this person is Nagano Yesamasa who made the Kai Tiger not survive, known as the "Nagano Sixteen Guns"

"Gather the warships and fight to the death for the Emperor of the Great Imperial Gate!"

He turned around, looked at the retainers, raised his fist above his head, and roared: "Load! ”

"Onboard!"

On the ship, both the Uesugi retainers and the Japanese soldiers waved their hands almost fanatically and shouted in unison.

……

Lin County, Fenglai County.

I have long heard that the treasure ship carrying the emperor is coming to the port outside Fenglai County, almost half of the county town is alarmed, as soon as the day dawns, the black crowd rushes out of the city to the port in the east, and at a glance, there are people inside and out.

There are even quite a few hawkers among them, selling snacks and making a fortune while watching the giant boats.

"Muffins! Fragrant and soft muffins, children over there, don't you want the adults to buy a piece to taste? ”

"Tofu brain, salty tofu brain!"

"Is there any sweet tofu brain?"

In the midst of all the noise, a voice shouted in front of me: "I see the boat, it's so big!" ”

The crowd of people was in an uproar, and in the countless intertwined visions, at the end of the distance, the huge boat with sail appeared in everyone's sight, and when it came from far and near, the huge hull was more obvious, as if a majestic mountain was advancing over, making people feel difficult to breathe.

At the front of the crowd, Qi Jiguang, who was standing behind the crossing bridge, only knew the size of the treasure ship in the literature, after all, he was not a person from Zheng He's era, and now he saw it with his own eyes, his heart was beating wildly, for a naval general, no one would not like such a huge boat.

Lu Meng, who is also a general of the navy, has never seen any ships when he was in Soochow, but it is the first time he has seen such a big ship, and when he pushes it over like a mountain, he only feels that his limbs tremble slightly with excitement.

Whoop –

The treasure ship pushes the waves closer to the deep water near the shore, and many temporary bridges built by small boats are undulating under the push of the waves.

The civil and military men on the giant boat also stood behind the side of the ship, looking down condescendingly, and the crowd was like a dense ant colony.

Cao Cao sighed deeply among the crowd: "Look at the mountains at a glance." ”

Li Cunmiao muttered in a low voice beside him: "What mountain? ”

"I won't tell you!" Cao Cao smiled, watching everyone leave the deck from the long ladder they had taken, and he returned to the spiritual seat in the cabin.

A multi-day sea voyage is indeed not comparable to that on land.

"Your Majesty!"

Qi Jiguang, Lu Meng, as well as the generals of Zhenhai Division and the militia group, stepped forward and bowed.

"Get up, I've heard about it, good job!"

Su Chen was dressed in imperial clothes, his expression was dignified, he helped up the people of Zhenhai Division who were worshiping, and bowed to them with his hands, and then said loudly to the surrounding people: "Folks in Fenglai County, this is the first time I have seen you, and I came to see the ship today, but I haven't eaten yet, right?" ”

The sudden opening sentence suddenly made the surrounding people stunned for a moment, they thought about how the emperor would speak, and probably guessed that it was also an official discourse that people could not understand.

I never thought that such a content would make many people laugh, and some bold people shouted in the crowd: "Your Majesty, did you invite us to dinner?" ”

"Okay, you come out and let me see?"

Su Chen smiled and looked at the voice, the talking figure in the pile was still timid after all, and he retracted and disappeared into the crowd, causing the surrounding laughter to be louder.

"You can see it, but I'm not stingy!"

The laughter of the crowd continued for a long time before it stopped, until the crippled veterans disembarked and came to escort them, and another tiger guard camp opened the way, and then they left the crowd and went to the station of the Zhenhai Division.

Along the way, the people were reluctant to leave for a long time, and followed the team back to Fenglai County, and they were quite excited to talk to their companions about the humor of the Son of Heaven just now.

When they entered the city, the crowd around them gradually dispersed.

When Su Chen entered the Zhenhai Division, he did not ask about Qi Jiguang and Lu Meng for the first time, but first asked them to arrange for the families of Lu Bu and other generals to stay, and finally in the evening, the generals gathered together for dinner.

And Lu Meng arranged everything, but he didn't come, Su Chen also knew what was going on, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were present, especially Zhang Fei's temperament, he would definitely find trouble for him during the banquet, it was better not to show up.

After the banquet, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Only then did Su Chen raise his glass and thank Qi Jiguang: "The plague, thanks to Qing and General Lu's interception, broke the plan of the Japanese people, I should thank you!" ”

"Jiguang doesn't dare to take credit, it should be the work of the coastal people of the two states, if it weren't for their help, how could they stop the plague of the Japanese invaders!"

"Haha, then Jingqing and the coastal people of the two states have a cup!"

Su Chen raised his glass and saluted, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then sat down next to Qi Jiguang, personally served him with vegetables, and said, "I am going to do a big job against the Japanese Kou this year, what do you think?" ”

On the side, Qi Jiguang thanked him flatteredly, and his face showed a worried look.

"There are enough warships, and the last link is missing."

"Which link?"

"Wind!" Qi Jiguang drew a line on the table with wine, "The soldiers are fast, and they are also the same when they are placed in naval battles, if you want to do your best, you will definitely be caught off guard!" ”

"Wind?"

Su Chen read it, then laughed, and looked at Zhuge Liang who was talking and drinking with Jia Xu over there, the latter was slow and methodical, and he ate elegantly, sensing the gaze of the Son of Heaven, he didn't look up, but just took the crane fan by the bowl and shook it.

"Your Majesty and General Qi rest assured, it's just a wind, and it's up to Liang to solve it."
