guri.
Zhou Yihu lay on the deck of the treasure ship, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling very comfortable. A shadow flashed across his eyes. Zhou Yihu couldn't help but sit up. Looking at his son Zhou Hai who climbed to the mast rope, he couldn't help shouting: "Be careful not to fall!"
Zhou Hai is in his early twenties. He has grown up in the mountains since he was a child. He has walked many mountain roads and climbed high trees. Climbing down the mast rope is no longer a problem. Ever since he was brought to the sea, he has been completely crazy about playing. His favorite thing is to stand on the mast rope and build a pergola to watch the sea.
Zhou Yihu saw that his son was not paying attention at all, so he didn't bother to care. He leaned against the side of the boat and closed his eyes, lamenting that his fate had changed so quickly.
In his early years, he was a pirate traveling off the coast of Guangdong, specializing in robbery. Later, he was recruited by the Qingyuan Pirates and became Fang Tianhua's subordinate. With his brave and ruthless methods, he became a small boss.
I originally thought that by following Fang Tianhua and joining the Chen Zuyi pirate group, I could make the pirate business bigger and stronger and compete with the Ming Dynasty navy. Who knew that Chen Zuyi was killed by his son and was completely eliminated by the Ming Dynasty Security Bureau and the navy? , the Nanyang Pirates who dominated for a while were completely destroyed.
Without competitors, the Qingyuan Pirates became the leading pirate group, and Fang Tianhua was not to be outdone. He robbed maritime merchants one after another and made a fortune.
But who would have expected that not long after the good days, the Ming Dynasty Navy actually stationed on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and the Qingyuan Pirates lost their territory and had to flee to Southeast Asia.
Let's just go to Nanyang. If you follow Fang Tianhua, there will always be meat to eat. After eating meat in the Bo Ni country for several months, he realized that the situation was not good, so Fang Tianhua took his brothers and ran away again.
It doesn't matter if you run away, as long as you take enough goods before leaving, you will get enough benefits.
Later, Fang Tianhua and his pirate brothers anchored at Mentawai Island on the south side of the old port. He originally thought it was a hibernation, but unexpectedly it was a turning point of fate.
Later, the Ming Dynasty navy densely surrounded the Mentawai Island. When many pirates were panicking and preparing to fight to the death, Fang Tianhua actually talked and laughed with the navy commander, who seemed to be old friends for many years.
The Navy did not launch an attack, but instead put down a group of people, including countless women, children, and some elderly people. Then, the Navy army waved and left. Then, Zhou Yihu saw his wife and children whom he had not seen for many years. With old father.
Who would have thought that Fang Tianhua was from the Ming Dynasty, and his status was extremely noble. He was Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty, the son of Taizu, and the uncle of Emperor Jianwen!
At first he was joking about Chen Zuyi re-employing people from the Security Bureau, but in the end, the leaders he followed were all Zhu Yunwen's people!
The terrifying Security Bureau, the terrifying Emperor Jianwen!
Zhou Yihu had to surrender and had to choose to change his mind and start a new life. Together with Chu Siyuan, Jiang Wu and others, he joined the Ming Navy. He transformed from a pirate to a real navy. He shouldered the mission and went to a place called Africa. A place I have never heard of and very far away.
The place where it is parked here is called Guli. The navy needs to replenish supplies here. King Ning Zhu Quan is talking to King Shamid at this time. The guy swaying back and forth with the embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist is Yang Shan. His His true identity is from the Security Bureau.
Thinking back to the time when he pulled Yang Shan to brag about how idiotic the Security Bureau was, how rubbish Emperor Jianwen was, how he could kill eighteen by himself, how he could invade Nanjing with a group of brothers, and how he could steal a few beauties to make Yang Shan happy. It felt like Yang Shan might pull out the knife at any time and chop himself up Lehehe.
Destiny changes so fast that I always feel a little confused.
Zhou Yihu thought that his whole family was assigned by the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Quan was the one who led the team, and he also took care of his family. Could it be that he was assigned as well? Someone assigned by someone else can still be the governor of Africa and command the navy...
Zhou Hai grabbed the rope on the mast, swaying and looking at the sea in the distance, letting the sea breeze blow through his body, feeling extremely comfortable.
"what is that?"
Zhou Hai stared at the sea to the north. There seemed to be a tattered flag floating on the sea, and then, a mast emerged from under the sea.
"Boat!"
Zhou Hai squinted his eyes and didn't think much.
This is Guli, and many Western businessmen come here. Although the west wind and southwest wind prevail in this sea area in winter, the boat can
It is still no problem to go south along the northern coastline. A few days ago, there were ships arriving in Guli, specifically to ask the Ming navy whether a businessman named Adam had arrived in the great Selis.
At that time, the guy asked himself that he did not know where the great Selis was, but he knew that Adam had gone to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so he did not tell him.
Zhou Hai was a little bored and looked at the watchtower. The sergeant there had already dozed off. After all, it was not far from the port and there were ships cruising around. There was no need for the sergeant on the treasure ship watchtower to be on duty.
"Um?"
Zhou Hai looked at the sea to the north again, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. More and more ships emerged from the sea, and their huge masts were bigger than the treasure ship he was on.
That's not a ship, that's a fleet!
Does the West also have such huge warships?
etc!
What flag is that?
Can't see clearly, the flag is a bit tattered.
do not care.
Zhou Hai couldn't think too much and shouted to the people on the deck at the top of his voice: "Be on guard, be on guard, there is a huge fleet approaching, prepare to fight!"
"guard?"
Zhou Yihu heard the sound and immediately stood up and lay on the side of the boat to look out.
Yang Shan strode over, staring at the sea in the distance, his eyes widened involuntarily, and his Adam's apple kept shaking. Naval Staff General Zhao Yan heard the commotion and immediately ordered the sergeant to beat the gong.
The sound of clanging on the sea surface was transmitted to a ship, and the rushing sound was also transmitted to the port. Li Su was discussing the purchase of spices with Guli Minister Wange at the port. Suddenly he heard the warning and immediately bid farewell to Wange and took the sergeants on board the ship.
The actions of the Ming Dynasty Navy were extremely efficient. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the commander, Qianhu, Baihu, sergeants, sailors, lookouts, etc. were all in place. There were already sergeants standing on the side of the divine machine gun in the cabin. As long as the military order was given, You can launch the divine machine gun.
Li Su boarded the treasure ship flagship in a small boat. Zhao Yan handed the telescope to Li Su and said solemnly: "This fleet is very large, and we can't see clearly where the warships came from."
"Get into formation, be on high alert."
Li Su picked up the telescope and took a look. The distance was still a bit too far to see clearly, but he could vaguely see that this was a fleet, a real fleet!
Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said, "The emperor said that the West also has shipbuilding technology, and they will become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later. Could it be that they already have the technology to build large ships, and are even preparing for the Eastern Expedition?"
Li Su snorted coldly: "If that's the case, the Navy wouldn't mind getting rid of them first! Send someone to notify King Ning and ask him to return to the port immediately."
Zhao Yan pointed to a small boat on the sea: "No need, Prince Ning has returned."
Zhu Quan climbed onto the treasure ship, pushed away the telescope handed over by Li Su, squinted at the sea in the distance, and asked in a deep voice: "Why haven't you sent a ship to conduct reconnaissance yet?"
Li Su quickly said: "The opponent is powerful and if we easily send a ship close to conduct reconnaissance, we may be damaged."
Zhu Quan glared at Li Su, feeling a little helpless towards this conservative and overly stable naval general. The matter was already at this point, and there was no point in arranging more people. Just wait.
The fleet in the distance was breaking through the waves, and Zhu Quan, Li Su and others saw their eyes getting bigger and bigger.
Zhu Quan's cheeks trembled unnaturally and asked, "Why do I look like a treasure ship?"
Li Su nodded, he looked like it too.
Zhu Quan frowned: "How many treasure ships did the emperor send to Africa to pull mines? Besides you and me, is there a second fleet?"
Li Su shook his head.
The African mine was responsible for itself and returned to the capital with the minerals. After a few months of rest, it went south again, rested in the old port and waited for the monsoon, and then arrived in Guli.
Even if the emperor really arranged for other fleets to go to Africa to pull mines, they should be behind him, to the east or south, and could not appear due north.
Zhu Quan, Li Su and others looked at the fleet rushing in like a sea of hell, with big mouths. The fleet in front of them actually had sixteen large and medium-sized treasure ships, followed by more than a dozen large ships.
Lucky ship!
The ship was in tatters, and the flag on the mast had holes, as if it had experienced endless suffering. Some of the ship's sides were broken, and the huge sail was full of patches.
They seem to have been fought out of the devil's sea, overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers!
Zhou Hai looked at the approaching ship, but Zhu Quan and Li Su remained motionless as if they were stunned. They couldn't help shouting: "Order, take action, they have already come to kill!"
Zhu Quan took a deep breath and asked in disbelief: "Is it them?"
Li Su wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily with a choked voice: "Yes, it's them, it's them! Only they can appear here, only they can suffer so much, they are back, and they are back alive!"
Zhu Quan raised his hand and shouted sonorously: "All African naval forces obey the order and line up to welcome our greatest naval fleet!"
the greatest!
Zhu Quan knew who the people who came back were and what their mission was!
Whether they completed their mission or not, whether they arrived in South America or not, or whether they found the mysterious seeds or not, they were the greatest naval fleet. They used great courage and huge sacrifices to save the fate of countless people. , fought for everything!
They are well-deserved heroes, the greatest and loveliest naval officers, and Zheng He's fleet!
After the military order was issued, countless sergeants walked out of the cabin and lined up on the deck, forming a neat queue. Zhu Quan grabbed the flagpole from the sergeant's hand, picked it up, stood on the bow of the ship, waved it vigorously, and shouted: "Zheng He, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Luo Guanying..."
One by one, the names surged into the sea and stirred up waves.
Li Su's eyes turned red, and Zhao Yan couldn't stop crying.
Compared with Africa, the number of treasure ships and the number of great fortune ships do not match that of Africa. What on earth have they experienced in these years!
Zheng He, answer us, what exactly have you experienced? !
