King Zhu Shu of Qi screamed and fell backwards. In mid-air, his hands were still grabbing the void randomly, his eyes were full of fear, until he fell freely and hit the sea.
Snapped!
The prince is the prince, and the sound of falling down is louder than that of ordinary people. It is probably related to the posture of his teeth and claws...
"No, the prince fell into the sea."
King Qi's guard shouted subconsciously, wanting to rescue him, but when he saw the rope in his hand, there was only one length left.
Zhu Shu felt his whole body hurt from the fall, and the sea water began to rise continuously, submerging him. It was not until he drank a few mouthfuls of water that he choked that he finally figured out the situation. He was sinking.
The instinct of survival made Zhu Shu keep treading water, using his hands and feet, and finally surfaced. A wave came over and rolled Zhu Shu into the sea again. When Zhu Shu's head popped up again, some wood and wood on the sea surface were originally there. The planks had drifted far away.
"Help me, help me, I can't swim!"
Zhu Shu tried his best to support himself and shouted to the guards on Fanggong Embankment.
Luo Guanying became anxious and shouted: "You should throw the rope up, I only have this rope..."
Zhu Shu quickly untied the rope around his body and was dumbfounded after looking at it. Although the distance from the sea to the dam was not very high, he could usually jump high and throw it over.
But the problem is that now I am in the sea. To be precise, I only have one head and two hands above the sea. There is no way to jump high or use strength...
Zhu Shu threw it several times, and the rope could only be thrown half a foot high. Then it fell down again and could not be thrown up.
"You wait here, I'll go back and find the rope."
Luo Guanying shouted.
Zhu Shu was furious and threatened: "I am Qi King Zhu Shu, rescue me quickly, otherwise you will not end well!"
Luo Guanying looked down at Zhu Shu struggling in the sea and shouted: "When you are ready to sacrifice the lives of countless people just for your unrealistic ambitions, have you ever considered what your fate will be?"
Zhu Shu looked at Luo Guanying in surprise and shouted, "Who are you?"
Luo Guanying looked indifferent, looked at the sea in the distance, and said: "The tide is rising, so you can take care of yourself."
No one was seen on the embankment. Zhu Shu became frightened and shouted quickly: "Come back, come back! I am willing to make you an official, commander of Qingzhou, magistrate of Qingzhou, and give you countless gold and silver treasures. Come back and save me!"
Luo Guanying stood on Fan Gongdi, glanced at everyone coldly, and said with a gloomy face to the guards of King Qi: "Go and find the rope. You must not think about going north from Fangongdi to Fengzhen. Although there are two A wooden ship, but guarded by a sergeant."
The guards of King Qi looked at each other. Are they asking themselves to go to Fengzhen to grab a boat and escape?
He couldn't care about that much anymore. King Qi's navy had been completely destroyed, and he had no way to survive. The best ending was to be imprisoned. He probably wouldn't have a chance to settle the score with him. He should go home and find his wife. Children, and then hide in the countryside to farm.
The guards of King Qi dispersed in a hurry.
Zhao Shiyu looked at the silent Luo Guanying and said worriedly: "Isn't it appropriate for us to do this?"
Luo Guanying spread his hands and said, "What's inappropriate? No matter how much the court pursues, they won't be held accountable to these little soldiers. Besides, our military merit is enough, isn't it?"
Zhao Shiyu shook his head and said, "You know I'm not talking about them, but him."
Luo Guanying did not look back, pretending not to hear the shouts from the sea, staring at the sky to the west, and said, "If he is captured, will he be alive?"
Zhao Shiyu's pupils condensed slightly, and Yuan Yichen and Shen Wei also clenched their fists.
King Zhu Su of Qi was a vassal king, the son of Taizu, and the emperor's uncle. Although he risked the disapproval of the world and raised an army to rebel, if he was captured and escorted to the capital, the emperor would probably not kill him, at least not blatantly.
Not everyone has the courage to bear the infamy of killing their loved ones!
Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father. If he had not initiated the Zhenguan rule and ordered several revisions of history books, he would not have been less infamous.
In addition, Zhu Yunwen has had a very good relationship with the vassal kings since he ascended the throne. Although King Dai, King Liao, and King Min were engaged in business, they were deeply trusted by the emperor. King Yan seemed to have no real power, but he had great control over the Ministry of War and the Central Military Governor's Mansion. Influence, especially the fact that he single-handedly designed and drilled the three major battalions of the Beijing Army.
He would not have died if it were not for the Zhou king Zhu Ru who was involved in the sudden change in the Yellow River's seizure of the Huai River. Even so, Zhu Yunwen only dealt with King Zhou and did not involve King Zhou's family members.
To sum up, Zhu Yunwen is an emperor who does not kill easily. Such a benevolent emperor is naturally a blessing to the Ming Dynasty and to the courtiers.
But if Zhu Yunwen was too kind and waved his hand and said something like "This is my uncle, please spare his life", no one would really be able to kill King Zhu Su of Qi that day.
If that's the case, can you accept this result?
Zhao Shiyu, Yuan Yichen, and Shen Wei were silent.
The king of Qi, Zhu Shu, openly rebelled and led tens of thousands of people to attack the capital. If he commits such a crime of rebellion, as a minister, he should be beheaded as a king!
Thousands of people died because of him. If he was still alive, what kind of justice would there be in this world?
If he is still alive, where should he put his conscience?
So many people were buried in the sea, there must be someone responsible for it!
so!
Zhu Shu must die!
The sergeant in front of him was as motionless as a statue.
It’s not that these sergeants didn’t know the identity of the person shouting from the sea, or what the four people in front of them were doing!
But no one stepped forward, not one.
As the elite of the Ming Dynasty Navy, as the first batch of people to benefit from the new army's strategy, their belief and will are one:
Share your worries for the king, fight to the death for the country!
They don't have so many considerations, they only have the simplest understanding, that is, Zhu Su is a bad person, a very bad person. Such a person should be cut into pieces and go to hell!
Although there was no clear document from the court, although there was no order from their superiors, they remained silent in the face of everything in front of them.
At this moment, in their eyes, Luo Guanying and others are not executioners who kill people, but heroes who eliminate the culprits!
The sea calmed down.
Luo Guanying turned around and glanced at the sea under Fan Gongdi, turned around and shouted to the sergeant: "Find the rope, save people!"
After such a long time, it is impossible to save people, but the body still needs to be recovered. After all, it is easy to make a fuss only when it is confirmed that it is dead. If there is no body after death, people will not issue a death certificate and the pension will continue. Hair, always inconsistent
Suitable...
The sergeant slid down the rope into the sea. He looked at the body buried in the sea and floating with the sea water. He used a hook to pull it over. Then he checked and confirmed that he was not breathing, so he tied the rope around the waist of King Qi's body. In the meantime, I followed the rope up Fan Gongdi.
Luo Guanying once again confirmed that King Qi was dead, with a sad look on his face, and said: "Inform Deputy Commander Zheng that King Qi's body was found in the sea outside Fanggongdi, and the cause of death was drowning."
"As commanded."
The sergeant solemnly agreed.
Luo Guanying sighed and prepared to leave. Zhao Shiyu did not speak, but fell behind alone, threw the cut rope into the sea, and then followed.
This rope cannot be kept. If someone leaks the news, it can be said to be an accident. But if the rope is taken away, there will be evidence that cutting the rope is intentional murder.
After all, Luo Guanying is still too young. Although he is courageous, he is not meticulous enough.
When Zheng He learned of the death of King Qi, he was silent for a long time, and then ordered someone to write a document, saying: "Zheng He bowed his head at Baishuiyang. In the middle of July, King Zhu Su of Qi rebelled, leading an army of more than 40,000 people and a total of ships. More than 200 ships. The naval fleet led treasure ships to fight, sinking or damaging 123 enemy ships, killing more than 2,000 enemy people, and drowning more than 5,800 people. The King of Qi fled to Fan Gong Outside the embankment, at high tide, he drowned in the sea..."
The Battle of Baishuiyang in the East China Sea seems to be quite large. One side has more than 200 ships and more than 40,000 people, while the other side has only three treasure ships and only 7,000 people at full cost. No matter whether we conduct public opinion surveys in advance or interview experts, one can look at the numbers Also know that King Qi - has the upper hand.
But numbers are sometimes unreliable. Zheng He relied on the treasure ship to completely wipe out King Qi's fleet with almost no effort. This battle verified the tyranny of the treasure ship and the power of explosive bombs. The true meaning of The era of artillery (that is, non-solid bullets) began here.
Little did Zheng He know that he had unintentionally made history.
Zhu Yunwen did not know about the battle at Baishuiyang at this time, but he was very confident. He was confident that his blank approval note could be interpreted by Jie Jin, and he was confident that the Ming Navy would never let King Qi's fleet enter the Yangtze River.
Why so confident?
It’s a joke, you use a wooden ship to deal with a small aircraft carrier-level treasure ship, and you still want to win?
Even if you want to grab a tank, at least you should grab a grenade instead of a kitchen knife.
Armed with absolute strength, absolute will, and experienced in hundreds of battles, the Ming Dynasty Navy will never betray Zhu Yunwen's trust.
Qiantang, Yu family.
Yu Wenming and Yu Yanzhao looked at Zhu Yunwen. They didn't know each other, but since he came, he also brought some gifts, uh, candied haws, little sugar figures, hawthorn cake, pine nut candies... You can't just kick people out. Bar.
People come here on an empty stomach at noon, so they can't ignore the food. After setting a table of food, they start asking questions.
But after several rounds of questions, Yu Wenming became even more confused and said, "So, you and I have no old acquaintance, so why come to Qiantang to visit?"
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Yunwen, she also wanted to know this question.
"Actually, I'm not here to visit you. Of course, I'm not here to visit you..."
Zhu Yunwen poured himself a drink, sighed, glanced at Yu Yanzhao, then smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm here to visit an amazing little friend. Can you two introduce me to him?"
