The soft starlight stared at the figure inside the palace wall, and the occasional laughter dotted the quiet night.
Wuqiushan Island.
Zheng He was resting on the island. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Zheng He opened his eyes and took out the steel knife from the bedside.
Boom!
"Deputy Commander, there is movement."
Li Xing stood outside the door and shouted in a low voice.
Zheng He agreed, got out of bed, hurried out of the door, and asked, "Where are Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu joining the army?"
"I've already checked it out first."
Li Xing said solemnly.
Zheng He hurried towards the coast and asked, "What happened?"
Li Xing looked at the sea in the distance and said, "There is a ship approaching. I don't know if it is a Japanese bandit or one of our own."
Zheng He boarded the ship, and a sergeant weighed the anchor, and the ship headed south. Not long after, he saw four warships surrounding a small ship. The lights on the warships were bright, illuminating the sea very brightly.
On the small boat stood three slovenly pirates, with their hands raised in the air and shouting: "We are envoys. The two countries are at war. We will not kill the envoys."
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng changed to a small boat and boarded Zheng He's ship.
"It's the envoy sent by Chen Zuyi."
Zhang Yu spat and explained to Zheng He.
"Bring them up."
Zheng He thought for a while and then ordered.
It didn't take long for the three pirates to get on the boat. Looking at Zheng He sitting on it, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This guy is so burly, he doesn't look like he's going to be easy to deal with.
"Speak."
Zheng He looked at the three pirates coldly.
The leader of the pirates, Chen Hong, took out a letter from his arms, raised it above his head, and said: "We are here to pay a visit to the Daming Navy on the order of the King of Bolin State. This is the King's letter."
A sergeant took the letter, checked it carefully, and found no problems before forwarding it to Zheng He.
Zheng He unfolded the letter, glanced at Chen Hong, and then looked at the letter. The more he read the letter, the more excited he became. After reading it, he slapped his thigh and laughed and said: "This is very good, this is very good. Come on, come on!" Arrange a banquet and entertain these three brothers."
"Well?"
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were stunned, and the other sergeants were also stunned.
Shouldn't we order the knife to be drawn and chop off the heads of these three people now?
Arrange a banquet?
To these down-and-out pirates?
"What are you doing standing still?
go! "
When Zheng He saw that everyone was silent, he immediately became angry.
I had no choice but to prepare a banquet.
Zheng He walked towards the three pirates, put the letter in his arms, and said: "Don't worry, as long as what your king said is true, then we are friends. As for the past, haha, don't mention it. You guys should be good. Drink some wine and eat some meat, and I will reply to your king right away."
The three pirates were immediately happy. Unexpectedly, the Zheng He in front of them only had a burly figure, but in fact he had no brains.
If that's the case, then things will be easier to handle.
"General Zhang and General Zhu, you must treat them as your own and take good care of them. Also, don't stop them from wherever they want to go. Don't worry, no one will hurt you."
After Zheng He gave the instructions, he walked towards the room at the bow of the ship.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng looked at each other and reluctantly agreed.
The three pirates were full of joy, eating meat and drinking wine with great interest, and even shouted and drank to the others. A quarter of an hour later, Chen Hong saw that the sergeant staring at him was dozing off, so he found an excuse and slipped out of the room.
There were not many people on the deck, and the sentry was already asleep.
"Is this the Ming Dynasty Navy? Ha, that's all."
Chen Hong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly approached the bow of the ship.
"Deputy Commander, this is obviously Chen Zuyi's trap! How can you believe it?"
Zhang Yu glared angrily.
"Yes, we must not be fooled by such a clumsy fake surrender!"
Zhu Neng shouted loudly.
Chen Hong, who was eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but be shocked. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty still had capable people, and they actually saw through Boss Chen's plan. If so, the fake surrender would have failed.
"Fake surrender? A trap? I think you two are confused!"
Zheng He jumped up and said with a loud voice: "Who is Chen Zuyi? Why does he pretend to surrender? What kind of trap can there be? We chased him all the way and were invincible. Chen Zuyi suffered extremely heavy losses. Why should he surrender under desperate circumstances?" ?”
Zhang Yu retorted: "How many people did Chen Zuyi lose before he surrendered? Such a loss is just a drop in the bucket for him, how could he embark on the road of surrender!"
"General Zhang! Our navy of the Ming Dynasty is invincible. In the past three months, we have strangled thousands of Japanese and pirates. We have already intimidated everyone! Chen Zuyi knew that he would die in the battle and had no fighting spirit. Now he is begging to surrender, but my Ming Dynasty does not Do you dare to accept it?"
Zheng He asked sharply.
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Zhu Neng objected: "Deputy Commander, I don't think this is feasible. We only have this few manpower in the fleet, and Chen Zuyi is very powerful. If there is fraud, wouldn't it..."
"There is no such thing as a chance!" Zheng He insisted stubbornly and shouted to Zhu Neng: "With the power of our Ming navy, what trap can't be broken? What trap can't be broken in the vast sea? I will accept the surrender. It has been decided that no one can stop me, Zheng He, from making this lasting contribution!"
"You, a eunuch, are willing to disregard the safety of the entire navy for the sake of merit?"
Zhang Yu was angry.
boom!
Zheng He overturned the table, glared angrily, and shouted to Zhang Yu: "It's true that I am a eunuch, but don't forget, you were the Privy Councilor of the Yuan Dynasty before! If the Ming Dynasty hadn't kindly taken you in, your head would have been hung on the flagpole. Oh! A surrendered general actually opposes my surrender? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
"you!"
Zhang Yu clenched his fists and was furious.
Zheng He sneered and said: "Let me tell you, I recruited Chen Zuyi to surrender. None of you can take credit for his future achievements! Anyone who opposes again will be disobeying military orders and should be executed!"
When Chen Hong heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Hearing that the sound was getting closer and closer, he quickly left the bow of the ship and returned to the banquet.
Zhu Neng opened the door, glanced down the passage, and then returned to the room. Looking at Zheng He and Zhang Yu who had set up the table and packed their things, the originally sinister and angry expressions slowly faded away and turned into a relaxed smile. , said softly: "That's it, is that okay?"
Zheng He sat down, pointed to Chen Zuyi's letter, and said, "Get ready, this time, we can't let Chen Zuyi go!"
Zhang Yu rubbed his face and said solemnly: "He wants to eat us, and we don't want to eat them. He thinks we are a big fish, haha, no, we are dragons in the sea, giant crocodiles that eat people." "
Zheng He nodded slightly and said: "Don't be careless yet. We are not familiar with the Penghu Waterway. Let's arrange for someone to check out the news about the Penghu Waterway."
At this time, Li Xing knocked on the door, saluted, and said happily: "Just now, Pinghaiwei sent news that Li Jinglong has led his fleet to Kinmen Island, preparing to support the navy and annihilate Chen Zuyi."
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's eyes were filled with joy.
Zheng He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Send people into two groups, land and water, and report to Li Jinglong urgently. They will arrive at the Penghu Waterway at 10:00 on May 10th!"
