The battle in the capital became more and more fierce, and even Nanjing was affected, and two high-level eunuchs were taken, several waiting masters, and many local officials.

Father-in-law Lu is an outsider, many things are not clear, Jinyi Wei's investigation of the case of Jizang is very obscure, even the local officials in Nanjing who are not involved are not clear, let alone Gonggong Lu who is far away in Fuzhou, he looks at the case of Jizang and the matter of Yun Zhongfei together, it is inevitable to make mistakes, and he only thinks that Yun Zhongfei is so miserable that the world is unexpected!

At the beginning, under the influence of Ding Yi, Lu Gonggong connected two twists and turns about Yizhou, and later the impeachment of Yunzhongfei in Beijing was surging, and even the first assistant was on the bullet seal, and Lu Gonggong Ma Yan died down, and planned to arrange for his cronies to take Yizhou Li Xiunian to Beijing, and at this time he also comforted him with good words, and let Li Xiunian return to Yizhou and other news. Later www.biquge.info, I heard that Yun Zhongfei was degraded and went south, and he was appointed as the commander and supervisor of the new South China Sea Naval Division, but there was a conflict with Lu Gonggong, you must know that Lu Gonggong's position is to be in charge of the FZ City Ship Division and the Fuzhou Naval Division, and now the power is half smaller, and the Fuzhou Naval Division is merged into the South China Sea Naval Division, which has nothing to do with Lu Gonggong, and how to arrange the Fuzhou Shipyard is to be discussed. Lu Gonggong is open-minded, and it is easy to make money in the city, so it's good to still have it in your hands!

On this day, someone suddenly came to report that there was a person in front of the door who claimed to be the master of the South China Sea and asked to see him, who claimed to be surnamed Ding Mingyi, and was an old acquaintance with his father-in-law. Father-in-law Lu rushed to see him, he wanted to know the latest developments in Beijing, although there was news before that was unknown, such as scratching his boots!

The robes of the sailor Qianhu are really ugly, compared to the clothes of the Jinyi Guard, no matter the style and color, they are too different! Ding Yi has already boarded the boat at this time!

This is a large fortune ship of the Fuzhou Navy, and the captain Lao Lin is Ding Yi's old acquaintance, and Lao Lin who boarded Yizhou together at the beginning! Lao Lin is followed by two shrunken strong men.

As soon as Ding saw Father-in-law Lu, Father-in-law Lu had a harmonious attitude, and after listening to Ding Yi's explanation of the affairs of Beijing, he said that he would try his best to cooperate with Yun Zhongfei to do a good job in the formation of the South China Sea Naval Division.

Since Ding Yi hit the front station and wanted to develop Yizhou, the locals were indispensable, so after announcing the itinerary of Yun Dugong, he asked Lu Gonggong for a warship, set off to the east, and went straight to Li Village in Yizhou.

Above the sea, boundless, Ding Yi was bored, looking at the two strong men with strange attitudes, and asked Lao Lin who he was.

Lao Lin had just been promoted to captain, and after the Li people who sent him back to Fuzhou went back, there was no one under him, and it happened that Fuzhou cracked down on the underworld and evil forces, and arrested a group of bastards, which was not easy to arrange, so he asked for it and added military registration to this group of people as his own crew. These two are called Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who belonged to the crackdown and were arrested, and they were quite sensible, so they took them with them and became a personal soldier.

"You seem to be afraid of me, why?" Ding Yi looked at Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

Xiong Da and Xiong Er's faces were gray, their strong bodies seemed to shrink together, and they were close to each other to rely on, and they were silent for a while, their movements were the same, and they suddenly knelt on the ground: "The villain has seen the heroic posture of Lord Ding in Fuzhou, and he dreams back at midnight, and often wakes up, how can he not be afraid!"

Ding Yi asked carefully, only to know that these two guys had actually followed and intercepted him, and time had passed, Ding Yi laughed at them, and did not care, comforting these two to be good soldiers and serve the country! Er Xiong stood up with great gratitude, followed behind Lao Lin, and looked in awe.

Ding Yi inquired about Lao Lin's situation in the Fuzhou Naval Division, and Lao Lin introduced that the officers and men of the Fuzhou Naval Division were drawn from Pinghai, Jinghai, and other guard posts, and that there were now more than 3,000 officers and men and more than 50 warships, such as 15 large Fu ships he piloted, and more than 40 warships of various types. mentioned in the speech, the Longjiang Sailor is about the same as the Fuzhou Sailor, and there are more than 3,000 people.

Ding Yi frowned, the Fuzhou and Longjiang naval divisions combined will merge 7,000 people into the South China Sea naval division, and their strength will also be weaker, and they will reach the Japanese kingdom in the east, go north to Korea, go south to the South Seas, expel Bai Yi, and develop Yizhou! In those years, Zheng He's seven voyages to the West had more than 27,000 people and more than 200 large ships, and only 30 or so of the newly formed South China Sea sailors had reached the ocean-going standard, and the gap in strength was too great, and it was necessary to strengthen its strength!

Longjiang Shipyard and Fuzhou Shipyard must be in their hands and immediately build large ships, and I don't know what the information about Zheng He in Yundu's hands is, and whether they can rebuild the original treasure ship.

In Zheng He's fleet to the West that year, there were five types of ships. The first type is called "treasure ships". The largest treasure ship is 44 zhang 4 feet (151.18 meters) long, 18 zhang (61.6 meters) wide, and has a carrying capacity of 800 tons. With a capacity of more than a thousand people, it was the largest ship in the world at the time. Its asana is majestic and unmatched. It takes two or three hundred men to move its iron rudder. The second type is called "horse boats". The length of the horse is thirty-seven zhang and the width is fifteen zhang. The third type is called "grain ships". It is twenty-eight zhang long and twelve zhang wide. The fourth type is called "sitting on a boat", which is 24 zhang long and 9 zhang 4 feet wide. The fifth type is called "war ship", which is 18 zhang long and 6 zhang 8 feet wide. Some of the ships of the fleet led by Zheng He were used to carry cargo, some were used to transport grain, some were used for warfare, and some were used for residence. The division of labor is meticulous and there are many types. Zheng He's fleet was a large-scale fleet consisting of treasure ships as the main body and assisting ships.

Now there are more than 30 ships that can go out to the ocean in the South China Sea Naval Division, but they are comparable to grain ships, and some can reach the level of horse ships, and there is no treasure ship.

When I thought about the period of Chengzu, the pirate Chen Zuyi who was rampant in Malacca had nearly 10,000 people, and if it hadn't been for the Zheng He's fleet, which was in full swing, I don't know how long it would have been rampant; another big pirate Liang Daoming had tens of thousands of people who destroyed the country and became king in the Three Buddhas of the South Seas, and was later recruited by the Ming Dynasty and returned to the mainland; these pirates were all stronger than the sailors of the South China Sea, and at this time the West began to enter the Age of Discovery, and had just begun to ignite the scientific and technological tree of strong ships and artillery! During the Warring States Period, the wars were endless, the common people lived in hardship, and many failed daimyo and samurai fled to the sea to join the pirates.

The South China Sea Navy Division is now two guards, and it is not yet a member, Ding Yi thinks about it, and must make a statement to Yun Du to restore the scale of Zheng He's fleet back then, reaching the scale of five guards, and reaching the scale of more than 20,000 people, in order to achieve the goal of deterring Nanyang, and he must also form a descendant as soon as possible.

Entering the cabin, drinking wine with Lao Lin, verbal temptation, Lao Lin is very happy to belong to Ding Yi's command, he is too fast, and there is no backstage, Fuzhou Navy Division has a lot of opinions on his rapid ascension, and the soldiers assigned to him by the commander are also old, weak, sick and disabled, he has to go to recruit bastards from the prison to enlist in the army, he is not a person all the way with the entire Fuzhou Navy Division, maverick, very unwilling!

Ding is overjoyed, with this ship of more than 100 people as the basis, it will be much easier to expand the army!

Jingzhong's subordinates are too sleek, and it is impossible for those brocade guards to expect to share honor and disgrace with them, even if they have great favors and take care of them, Guo Liu, who looks like a cronie, is afraid to avoid it when he hears that he has left Beijing. You have to find some simple people to enrich the team, if you can recruit 5,000 people and expand a guard, Yun Du will only be happy, this guard is his future team, do a good job, there should be no problem in the South Seas, now we must start paying attention to talents, and achieve this goal as soon as possible!

The next afternoon, when the distant shoreline became clearer, and the sailors on board were as happy as monkeys, someone took out the conch horn and whined and blew it, and the horn sounded loudly and loudly, and it was better to hear it on the silent sea!

Li Village is in sight, that small pier must still be repaired, it is a little reluctant to stop this warship, it's okay to make peace!

As soon as it stopped, the sailors were setting up the planks to connect the shore, and dozens of big men rushed out of Li Village, the first was Li Xiunian, the patriarch of Li Village, followed by Li Sanlang and a group of sailors who had seen it before.

The plank has not yet been laid, Ding Yi was anxious, jumped down, and walked towards Li Xiunian, far away, headed by Li Xiunian, everyone knelt down, Li Xiunian burst into tears, looked at the sun and moon banner on the warship, and shouted: "The overseas bereaved family of the Ming Dynasty has seen Shangguan!"

"Hurry up, please get up!" Ding Yi enthusiastically stretched out his hand to help, the Li family has long been Ding Yi's candidate for the bag, expanding the army base, of course, the attitude must be approachable and take good care, hello, hello, hello, everyone!

Everyone stood up in the voice of thanking Shangguan, but Li Xiunian's face was worried, and the entourage had a solemn face, and most of the people in the back row had swords, guns, bows and arrows. Ding Yi was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Xiunian said: "Qi Ding Baihu, two days ago, there were more than 100 red-haired Baiyi attacked the village, they have sharp firearms, fortunately in the village, they are united, and there is a courtyard wall, found early, retreated in time, those guys did not take advantage, went east, I am worried that they will come back, I have to be careful, and please Ding Baihu to help!"

At this time, the plank had been laid, and Lao Lin came behind Ding Yi and said, "Don't call Ding Baihu anymore, Ding Baihu has been promoted to the South China Sea Sailor Thousand Households, and he will be called Thousand Households in the future!"

Li Xiunian said happily: "Congratulations to Ding Qianhu, congratulations to Ding Qianhu, and please all the brothers get off the boat, and the village will prepare a little thin wine to catch the wind for everyone!"

"Let's drink slowly, how did those red hairs come to be and how they left, tell me in detail. Ding Yi grabbed Li Xiunian.

Li Xiunian said: "Those Hongmaoyi came from the west on foot, stayed outside the wall of my Li village for half a day, and then went to the east again!"

Ding Yi asked very carefully, Li Xiunian answered one by one, and there were other people to add in the meantime. There are many places worth noting, such as: 1. The color of the other party's uniform is not uniform; 2. There is an interpreter with him, and he once shouted to the village to surrender; 3. He did not bring artillery; 4. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which mainly used cold weapons, these more than 100 people used tunnel guns, which were sharper and more advanced than the Ming muskets (arquebuses); 5. They may not have carried artillery for convenience.

Where are the enemy ships? Do you drop them down and go to the front, or do you stay west and wait for them to go back? Have these red hairs been here before?

Ding Yiyi: "If there are any horses in the village, wait for me to go east to see if the enemy has gone far! In addition, send people to the west to look for it, and see where the Hongmaoyi ship is docked!"

Li Xiunian said: "This matter is not in a hurry, I have already sent people to the east to track and monitor, and I think there will be a response soon." I ignored the west, and I immediately sent someone to see it. ”

Ding Yi told the army not to go far near the dock and to be ready to set off at any time. Let Li Xiunian send someone to find the tracker to see how the enemy is doing!
