Besides, after the soldiers and horses of Liangjiang and the five mansions of Hangzhou suffered a defeat, they were busy and truthfully reported the whereabouts of Tianbo Mansion to the palace.

Empress Dowager Li heard that Zhu Tianxiao was not dead, but the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were defeated, Zhang Yan was blown up by artillery and his bones were gone, and the remnants of Tianbo Mansion were also picked up by pirate ships. "What's the matter? Where did the tens of thousands of heroes come from Tianbo Mansion, and those iron horses, it's really a hell. ”

She was angry, anxious and scared in her heart, feeling that leaving Zhu Tianxiao would be a big disaster in the future, and her son's dragon chair would not be stable. Moreover, a few days ago, some Jianghu characters sneaked into the palace to save Mo Guifei's mother and daughter, fortunately, Lei Zhenzi had already arranged it, and he laid down a master around the Mustang Temple, otherwise Mo Guifei's mother and daughter would have been robbed. She originally wanted to kill Mo Guifei's mother and daughter, but she heard that leaving Mo Guifei would lead Zhu Tianxiao to come, so she gave up. She issued a secret order to Yu Dayou and sent the Daming Sailor to exterminate the remnants of Tianbo Mansion to prevent future troubles.

Yu Dayou received a secret recall to the Daming Water Battalion, ordered ten generals, personally led 20,000 sailors, and 100 warships, and attacked the East China Sea mightily. Bai Zizong heard the news and got the news to the commander, and Bai Zizong hurriedly went out of the water camp and boarded the dragon and phoenix ship to discuss the best strategy for rejecting the enemy. When Zhong Lei heard that there were only a hundred warships, he laughed and said: "This Empress Dowager Li is too shabby, only sending a hundred warships to greet us, that is tantamount to coming to die." Zizong, don't be stingy with cannonballs when you arrive, we will also send out the evil breath of the Liangjiang soldiers surrounding Tianbo Mansion to avenge the four generals Feng Guo and the more than 10,000 brothers.

Listen, whether my Tianbo Mansion is good or bad is this battle, you will meet the warships as many as you want, and the two sides will attack each other. Let's see whose sailor is the best. At nightfall, all our ships, large and small, and all our men and horses, were dispatched. No matter how you say it, you have to let the Ming army sailors have no way back and frustrate their spirit. Hum. lest the Empress Dowager Li be arrogant and chase after my Tianbo Mansion if she has nothing to do. Bai Zizong took the order and left, and quickly lined up the forty-eight speedboats, thirty-seven flat-bottomed boats, and fifty-four two-masted ships in the water camp, and greeted the Ming army sailors in a fan-shaped formation.

At dusk, the sailors of both sides met on the surface of the East China Sea. For a time, the cannon roared on the sea, the smoke was filled, and the fighting was very fierce. Both ships were damaged.

Yu Dayou originally thought about the pirate ship, but when he saw my majestic Daming Sailor, he either fled or surrendered, but he never expected that Tianbo Mansion would not only dare to come to fight, but also have such a huge sailor. He thought to himself that if he wanted to completely annihilate the opponent, his own 20,000 people alone were not enough, and he had to come with another 20,000 sailors. And he wrote a letter before nightfall. The number and strength of the sailors of Chen Tianbo's Mansion made people rush to the palace to send a letter without mentioning it. Immediately, the battalions were ordered to patrol carefully, repair the damaged boats, and let the boats go out to investigate. In case of a night attack in Tianbo Mansion.

Sure enough, in the first half of the night, the ships of Tianbo Mansion came to harass them every once in a while, making the Daming Sailors all soldiers. Exhausted, he didn't stop until the fourth watch. Yu Dayou thought to himself. It must be that you are tired of Tianbo Mansion, so let the generals rest in peace. Wake up and fight again. Unexpectedly, everyone undressed and was just about to lie down, only to hear the fire of thousands of cannons all around, most of the warships were hit by cannonballs, and the fire broke out in an instant, coupled with the strong wind on the sea, the warships burned in an instant, and many Daming sailors abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea in panic. Yu Dayou is also a famous general, this time he was really a little stunned, even if he stood on the bow of the ship with a sword and shouted, he couldn't suppress the panic of his subordinates, but the cannonballs in Tianbo Mansion were still pouring down like rain, and it was not until dawn that the sound of the cannons stopped sparsely.

Yu Dayou thought to himself, it must be that your sailors of Tianbo Mansion have been fighting for so long, and they have lost all the shells, and they are just about to organize the remaining warships to counterattack, and they will also fire ten thousand cannons in unison to raise the power of the Daming Sailors. Suddenly, he found that the surrounding ships were squeezing towards his warship like a tide, and he suddenly felt bad, and was just about to give an order, when he saw the men and horses of Tianbo Mansion waving their knives and jumping onto the Ming warship to start slaughtering, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Heaven will not let me either." "If you wield your sword, you will wipe your neck, so that you will not be captured and humiliated. At this moment, the fog on the sea suddenly rose, and in the blink of an eye, he could not see his five fingers. Seeing this, he took the opportunity to put down the boat in the confusion and fled with a dozen or so soldiers.

In order to vent their anger, the people of Tianbo Mansion refused to stop until noon when the fog cleared. In this battle, more than 7,400 Ming Naval Divisions were recruited, 47 warships were obtained, and a large number of supplies returned triumphantly. Zhong Lei was very excited when he saw it, and summoned the generals and leaders to the main hall of the dragon ship, and asked the apprentices to bring three large boxes of silver and reward them according to the size of the merit. After finishing, he said: "After this defeat, it is difficult for the Daming Sailor to pose a threat to my Tianbo Mansion Sailor in less than three or five years. Brothers, before we arrive in Lianzhou, we need to exterminate a few more pirates, get more silver taels, increase more warships, and expand more sailors, so as to prepare for war with the Ming army in the future. The generals cheered with straight arms, and then the fleet set out for camp.

Due to the strong wind at night, in the second half of the night, the dragon and phoenix ships had left Bai Zizong's sailors and Tianbo Mansion's fleet far behind. Fortunately, Higashino Suo's frigates were all attached to the dragon ship, so the dragon ship was not allowed to travel alone.

When he got up at dawn, Nian Bo saw the master standing in front of the hall window in single clothes, and hurriedly took off his coat and draped it on the master. "Master, it's windy in front of the window, don't catch a cold. Zhong Lei glanced at his apprentice and sighed. "If you have something to think about as a teacher, you can go eat by yourself, and bring some back when you're done. Although he lives in the same cabin with the mother and daughter of Yingchun, Zhong Lei is busy with major things all day long, rarely eats with his wife and children, and basically cares about three meals a day by his apprentices. After hearing Master's words, Nian Bo went to the cabin to wash his face, and then came to the room to ask the busy man. "A few big brothers, what other snacks do you have?" The guy saw that it was Nian Bo, and scrambled to take out the four large plates that had already been prepared, which were nothing more than tender chickens, ducks, beef and mutton. Nian Bo returned to the hall with four pots of vegetables on a tray, and when he saw that Xuemei Peony was there, he hurriedly put the tray on the table, took out half an urn of wine, put the wine bowl and bamboo chopsticks on the table, and said: "Master, the two county lords, it's time to eat." So he went and asked Master to come and sit down and hand over the chopsticks. "Master, you eat slowly, and you go down. With that, he withdrew.

Zhong Lei called: "Little baby, come over and eat." The two daughters just went to the table, and the lotus seeds also brought food and drink, and put them on the table to wait aside. Lianzi came over and sat down, Yingchun poured a big bowl of wine for Zhong Lei, handed over the chopsticks and asked, "Master, where are we going?" Zhong Lei took a big sip of wine, took a chicken leg and said while gnawing: "We first suppressed the pirates in this area, and got some silver taels to expand the source of troops." After the young master arrived, we went to Mingsi, Feng Li had already captured twenty-one cities there, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we settled down there. ”

Yingchun asked again: "Twenty-one cities, how can they stop the army of Emperor Yijun." When the time comes, where are we going?" Zhong Lei smiled. "Madame, don't worry about it, by that time, we will have at least 100,000 elite soldiers. Moreover, Feng Li, Zizong are all generals, plus Lei Long, Jiao Yi is not an idle person, if the Yijun army does not come, if it comes, it will be killed. After hearing this, Yingchun was relieved to drink with her husband, but Peony asked: "Dad, you said that Sister Zhongyue and Brother Tianba, can they find my Brother Xiao?" Xuemei also said: "Yes, Dad, I dreamed of Brother Xiao again last night." Zhong Lei was thinking about the life and death of the young master all the time, and he also sent people out to look for it, and after listening to his daughter's words at this time, he pretended to be casual and said: "Who is your brother Xiao, a clever ghost, Erlang God reincarnated, and it will be fine." Besides, who is the crazy old man, when he is the number one master today, how can you have anything to do with Brother Xiao with him. Come on, eat more. After eating, my father taught you the stick method. ”

Dong Ye Suo came to the deck after breakfast, looked back, and couldn't help but be startled, where could you still see Bai Zizong's sailors and Thunder Dragon's fleet behind the dragon ship. He pondered in his heart that it must be that the dragon ship sailed too fast, leaving all the fleets of Shuiying and Tianbo Mansion behind, so he sent people to drop two large sails, leaving only the middle one mast sail to slow down, waiting for the ships behind, so as not to suffer from pirates.

By noon, the island on the left side of the dragon ship was clearly visible, and occasionally a few dilapidated fishing boats rowed past the ship. Suddenly, an explosion was heard, and seven clippers, eight brigs, and twenty or thirty small boats quickly sailed out of the narrow sea between the islands. A leader of the pirates in red clothes and blue trousers stood on the bow of the brig, holding three harpoons in his hand and shouting, "Brothers, there are millions of taels of silver on this ship, everyone." When the pirates heard that there were millions of taels of silver on board the dragon ship, they frantically threw out their flying hooks and tried to board the ship. But the dragon ships were covered with iron sheets along the stacks, which were round and smooth, and the iron hooks tried many times in succession without success, so they had to give up.

The brother who was on guard on the platform stopped the ship in the sea, and sent someone to report to the chief manager. When Zhong Lei heard this, he told his two daughters: "Don't get your sticks near the window." Then he went to the armor, and saw that Higashino Suo was mobilizing troops and horses, and went down to the bow of the ship to see that the large and small ships were full of people, including Ryukyu pirates and Japanese pirates, but most of them were more than 2,000 Daming sea pirates, and shouted loudly to attack the dragon ship to grab the silver. "Damn! Where did you get so many pirates? Seeing so many Haikou, Zhong Lei couldn't help but gasp, and secretly complained in his heart. "The family members are all on the ship, and the thunder dragon Zizong doesn't know where it is, and there are more than 300 sailors and escorts, and they are really hanging today. He was a little flustered, but his face was very calm, and he saw that Higashino Suo had brought most of the sailors to the deck, two clippers, two brigs, and eight dragon ships had sailed out from behind the dragon ship and protected them on both sides of the dragon ship, ready to kill. "Come here. ”

Zhong Lei summoned Dongye Suo, looked up to the sky and sighed and said: "The disparity in strength is too great, so I can only gamble." Higashino Suo thought the same thing, but he didn't know how to bet. "Boss, how are you going to gamble?" Zhong Lei gritted his teeth. "Tell my brothers, don't be stingy with shells, and let me bombard the ships of the Ryukyu pirates and pirates until they are sunk.

If the pirates come to attack the dragon ship, they will greet them with muskets, and do not fight in close combat. I bet that when the pirate and pirate ship was sunk, the pirates would panic, and I would jump on the pirate ship and kill them until they fled or surrendered. Go for it. At this time, the sound of cannon sounded, and Nian Bo looked over and said, "Master, the thief has fired." Higashino Suo listened and hurriedly went to convey the order of the Grand Administrator.
