Guangdong, Yangjiang Shipyard.
Zhuang Zhengde held a bottle of wine and sat happily on the dock, looking at the white sea fog, his heart filled with tranquility. He would take a sip of wine from time to time and let the sea breeze blow by while enjoying the smell of wine.
Yu Maoyan walked over with bare feet and a splayed figure. The thumb of his foot was widely separated from the other four toes. This was the mark of an old sailor. Zhuang Zhengde, who was watching the enjoyment, lifted the food box in his hand. , said: "Zhuang Tiju, look what I brought?"
Zhuang Zhengde's nose twitched twice before he turned around and said, "The braised pig head from Mrs. Wang's house is definitely right."
"Haha, your nose is really sensitive."
Yu Maoyan sat down with a big smile, opened the food box, and put out the sliced pork head. When Zhuang Zhengde stretched out his hand, he took the wine bottle, took two sips, and said with satisfaction: "Good wine."
Zhuang Zhengde reached out to take away the wine bottle, but Yu Maoyan avoided him and couldn't help but cursed: "I knew you were after my wine."
"Nonsense, otherwise who would buy you meat?"
Yu Maoyan fired back.
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Zhuang Zhengde looked at the sea fog and said: "It's been half a year since Zheng He's navy went to the West. I don't know where they have gone. It's a pity, we people may have to stay at the Yangjiang Shipyard all the time. .”
Yu Maoyan moved his tongue and licked away the wine stains on his lips: "Oh, be satisfied. You have never been to the sea. It will be really hard to go to the sea. Think about it, staying in a small cabin every day, when you arrive On the deck, you can see seawater all around, and if the sun doesn’t shine occasionally, you can’t tell the difference between east, west, north, and south.”
Zhuang Zhengde shook his head: "I have been designing a boat all my life, and I have not yet made a single voyage. I am not willing to accept it. In two months, I will be fifty-two. Even if I want to go to sea in three to five years, I will not be able to withstand the waves." .”
Yu Maoyan knew that Zhuang Zhengde's wish was to go on a long voyage. He was promoted step by step from an ordinary craftsman to a shipyard captain. In his shipbuilding career of more than 30 years, he participated in the design, manufacture and repair of more than a thousand ships, especially In recent years, he has made great contributions to the design and improvement of the Dafu ship in Yangjiang Shipyard.
Over the years, the imperial court has made three large-scale voyages to the South and West Oceans. A ship has set out on a long voyage, but Zhuang Zhengde has never been to the depths of the sea. When it was farthest from the mainland, it was only during a sea trial of the ship. More than twenty miles away, as far as the eye can see, there are green islands.
He wanted to see the depths of the ocean, this was his dream.
Yu Maoyan returned the jug to Zhuang Zhengde, picked up a piece of meat with his hands, chewed it and said, "If you really want to go to the depths of the sea, I have a way."
"you say?"
Zhuang Zhengde asked quickly.
Yu Maoyan pointed to the sea with a smile and said: "A few days ago, the navy fleet docked here. You will never forget it, right?"
Zhuang Zhengde rolled his eyes at Yu Maoyan and said, "How could you forget something so recent? The sergeants have been stationed in Old Port for three years and returned to China this spring. They passed by here and stopped for two days. They told many interesting things about Nanyang. I heard that they were in They built a city in Old Port, a city of three miles, and they said that when they go back this time, they will ask the emperor to give the city a name."
Yu Maoyan nodded with a smile. There was such a thing. Seeing Zhuang Zhengde's admiration, he said: "Then you haven't thought about going to the old port to repair the ship? With your merit and connections, submit a document to the superior. If you request to be transferred to the old port to repair the ship, I think the court will agree."
"That's a good idea."
Zhuang Zhengde thought about it and thought it was feasible.
From Yangjiang to Old Port, there is a large area of sea, enough to see the sea by yourself. Wouldn't it be enough to work in Old Port for three years and then return with the sergeants stationed in Old Port?
Zhuang Zhengde laughed, and as soon as he raised the wine bottle to his mouth, he suddenly felt something strange, his nose twitched, his face suddenly became solemn, and he asked Maoyan: "Today's navy rotation?"
"Yes, Zhang Qianhu left for Guangzhou early in the morning. He was cursing for a while because of the heavy fog. What's wrong with you? You look so ugly?"
Yu Maoyan asked doubtfully.
Zhuang Zhengde swallowed, his nose moved again, he quickly stood up, grabbed Yu Maoyan, and started shouting at the top of his lungs: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, be on guard!"
Yu Maoyan looked at the sea in shock, his whole body being pulled backward by Zhuang Zhengde. In the vast white mist above the sea, a large ship was looming, and on both sides of the big ship, more small boats continued to appear.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of an arrow piercing the air was heard. Zhuang Zhengde and Yu Maoyan ran away, and the long arrow fell behind them.
"Kill!"
Chen Zuyi drew out his long knife and pointed at the port.
The fleet is divided into three parts. On the left are Chen Shiliang, Lu Daobao, Chen Dabao and other three hundred Nanyang King pirates, and on the right are the four hundred Qingyuan pirates led by Fang Tianhua.
Chen Zuyi, Lu Sancai, Chen Erbao and Hattori Shenmu were sitting in the middle army. Chen Zuyi looked at Hattori Shenmu and complimented: "The Minister of Taizheng (Ashikaga Yoshimitsu) sent the general personally to assist me. Chen is really frightened. The Ming army is strong, I have led my troops to fight against the Ming army hundreds of times, and I have suffered heavy losses every time. The general does not dare to take it lightly."
Hattori Kamiki was just a small general. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't have much hope for Chen Zuyi's actions. Chen Zuyi wanted manpower and vowed to capture Yangjiang. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent Hattori Kamiki with a thousand men. Go and support Chen Zuyi.
Hattori Shenmu looked down on Chen Zuyi. This guy was like a street rat. He wandered in the sea several times and did not dare to enter the Ming Dynasty offshore. He even saw the flag of a Ming army ship once and ran away without even seeing many people. .
This is a coward, a coward, he is not worthy of becoming a brave warrior!
Hattori Kamiki glanced at Chen Zuyi with disdain: "Since the King of Nanyang is afraid of the Ming army, let me meet them personally."
"Then I will support you with a thousand brothers, no, twelve hundred!"
Chen Zuyi said quickly.
Hattori Shenmu snorted coldly: "Forget it, I will lead the samurai to charge and completely eliminate all enemies in front of us. You guys, just wait here for the news of victory!"
"Kuoluosi (kill them)!"
Hattori Shenmu pulled out his sword and directed his men to charge. When a Japanese ship passed by, he jumped directly from the big ship. He squawked for a while. The Japanese ship moved faster and faster, heading towards the middle of the port. Insert it!
Chen Zuyi looked at this scene, smiled, raised his hand and ordered: "Since General Hattori has given the order, let's retreat a little and wait for news of their victory."
That's what the Japanese are good at. They have thick heads and one muscle, which are easy to use.
Chen Erbao stepped forward and said to Chen Zuyi: "Now we should let the left and right wings attack at the same time, otherwise we will not be able to explain to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu afterwards. Moreover, the Qingyuan Pirates are still watching us. If we don't make any moves, they are afraid that I won’t go to any lengths.”
Chen Zuyi nodded repeatedly and asked people to raise the flag.
"kill!"
Cries of death were heard from both the left and right sides at the same time.
Hattori Kamiki's fleet rushed to the front, followed by two wings, like an arrow formation. At this moment, there was a thunder, followed by another one, and cannon stones fell from the sky and hit the water, causing waves of waves.
"Kill!"
No one retreated, and the momentum became even stronger.
Chen Zuyi looked at the cannon stones that fell into the water, and he breathed a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, the Yangjiang Shipyard's divine machine cannons were not the legendary explosive shells, and there were not many divine machine cannons on the shore. There were only Six doors.
It's a pity that it would be great if a batch of gunpowder bombs could be robbed as a weapon. Zhu Yunwen was too stingy. Such a large shipyard did not install new divine machine guns and gunpowder bombs!
The divine machine cannon fired cannon stones. Two of the cannon stones hit the ship, leaving a bloody mess. Another ship began to take in water, but it did not affect the attack of the entire fleet.
Zhuang Zhengde and Yu Maoyan ran into the dock in one breath and looked at the pirates coming from the port. Zhuang Zhengde shouted to the panicked craftsmen: "Don't run away, come back and burn the ship!"
"Burn, burn?"
Yu Maoyan looked at Zhuang Zhengde in shock. The Dafu ship in the dock was about to be completed. How many days did the brothers spend to build it, and now it is burned?
"What are you doing in a daze? Pull out all the tung oil and light it for me. The whole dock is on fire. Hurry! I will take responsibility for anything you do not do!"
Zhuang Zhengde was very worried.
Damn pirates, how could they be so lucky to take advantage of the short gap between the Ming Dynasty navy to change defenses and enter the Yangjiang port!
Could it be that there is a traitor?
Seeing that the opponent is coming with a fierce force and a large number of people, a sergeant on the shore may not be able to stop them. The new divine machine cannon was just installed on the ships in the old port a few months ago. The current Yangjiang Shipyard is too weak!
burn!
Zhuang Zhengde ordered someone to pour tung oil. This thing can release water when brushing wood, but it will burn quickly when lit.
The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer, and you can even see a group of short Japanese Japanese wearing skirts, shouting loudly, holding slightly curved and slender Japanese swords in their hands, and heading towards the dock to kill.
"Retreat, quickly light the fire and retreat!"
Zhuang Zhengde shouted at the top of his lungs, asking the craftsmen to leave quickly. A group of craftsmen left the dock. Before they could run a hundred steps, they saw the sergeant rushing down to fight the Japanese and pirates.
"withdraw!"
Zheng Zhun from the Qianhu household drew his sword, stared with red eyes, and shouted to Zhuang Zhengde and others: "You must leave alive. If the shipyard is gone, we can build again. If you are gone, there will be nothing! Let's go!" Brothers, fight with me!"
"kill!"
More than 800 Ming soldiers shouted in unison.
The archers and gunmen aimed at the Japanese who were charging ahead and fired. One Japanese was hit by an arrow or a lead bullet and fell down, but the Japanese were not afraid of death. Even if they lost more than a dozen lives, they still charged wildly. .
The arrow kettle is empty!
The lead bullets and gunpowder are empty!
Zheng Zhun held the long sword and shouted sternly: "Brothers from Yangjiang Qianhusuo, this is Yangjiang of the Ming Dynasty. Our duty is to protect the country and protect the craftsmen and people behind us. We cannot let them pass through this. Hillside! Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Zheng Zhun rushed to the front, and Hattori Kamiki stared at Zheng Zhun. The two suddenly clashed, and in an instant, there was a blood mist on both sides!
The Japanese died, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died!
A Ming Dynasty sergeant stabbed a Japanese pirate to death with a spear. Before he could pull out the spear, the Japanese sword was in a tricky position and slashed straight through the soldier's chest!
Blood spilled!
The sergeant suddenly pulled out his spear, opened his bloody mouth, and rushed towards the Japanese pirate. The spear pierced him, and he pushed hard and entered the Japanese pirate. The Japanese took out his knife and chopped him down repeatedly!
Zheng Zhun struck out fiercely with his sword, one blow after another, slashing and slashing. Hattori Shenmu's height was not an advantage, and because it was going uphill, Zheng Zhun was suppressed, and he was unable to fight back for a while.
Bloody fierce battle, cruel killing!
Qingyuan Pirates, Zhu Quan looked at the battle in the distance, clenching his hands, Yang Shan and Keshan were also unbearable.
Zhu Quan gritted his teeth, released his hands, and said, "Don't forget the overall situation. Today's revenge and today's blood will be repaid by the destruction of the Japanese pirates! Go and seize the ship!"
