Chapter 2267 Capture the enemy's trail(1/2)
After leaving the strait, there was a vast sea of water around me, and the insecurity that I could not see the land gradually increased.
Lin Zheng stood at the bow of the ship, even though there was a lookout on the mast and was constantly observing with a telescope, he was still looking around.
"Sir, do you want to separate?"
Someone asked behind him, and Lin Zheng shook his head slightly: "No, if the Thais really came out, then they would only dare to walk on the shore, so the fleet should be based on being able to see the shore."
The fleet then began to lean to the right, and when the shore could be seen, the fleet began to correct its course.
"Sir, are you going to Siam to repair it?"
The deputy came over and asked.
Lin Zheng put down his telescope and shook his head: "No, Myanmar has suppressed Siam, and they are panicked. If we go again, they may collapse or go crazy, so let's go to Myanmar."
"Sir, last time I said the road over there has been built, so the dock should be ready."
Lin Zheng said in a longing: "Yes! There are many places where you can farm there, and then there are more places, and the fleet will come here to replenish supplies in the future."
...
Shang Qi looked at the beach every day. Since he came here, he felt that his future should belong to the sea.
But Fang Zheng gave him the order to monitor and supervise the natives to build docks and build a series of buildings.
This place will become a stronghold in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and a stronghold for Siam to restlessly.
The pier has begun to appear in scale, with wooden houses and camps on the shore.
Those natives work very hard because the food is good.
“What to eat today?”
Shang Qi turned around and asked.
An official from a hundred households was probably a foodie and said sadly: "Sir, I'm still a fan today."
Shang Qi scolded: "What a shit! Fans every day, fans every day, what taste is today? If you dare to figure out the soup, I will kill the chef to sacrifice to the sky!"
The officials of a hundred households quickly asked someone to inquire, and then the group was wandering around the beach.
"The Siam ship has not come again?"
"No, sir, their people were scared last time and they dared to come. Then let's report a letter to sir Fang, and they are afraid they won't be able to sit steadily."
"Yes! Lord Fang is stationed troops on the border. Once Siam makes a domineering move, don't pretend to be a grandson again!"
After a walk around, the person who went to inquire also came back.
Seeing his happy face, everyone was happy to eat potato vermicelli and wanted to vomit.
"Sir, what a sour and spicy fan."
"good!"
"Okay! Sir, the chef should give it a reward!"
"Yes, it is said that in order to make new tricks, the chefs' hair has turned a lot white."
“…”
Shang Qi said with emotion: "Okay! I will remember the merits when I look back, it's so bad! Eating well is also morale!"
Shang Qi was in a good mood just returned to the camp, but someone was shouting behind him.
"Sir, there is a boat!"
Um?
Shang Qi was furious and turned around and ran to the beach.
Dangdangdangdangdangdang!
The sound of gold sounding came from the camp, and then the ox horn came.
The lookout on the mail tower raised its telescope and looked at the sea, shouting: "Three ships, tell sir... No, that ship is wrong, I have never seen it before!"
The cavalry rushed out immediately and caught up with Shang Qi, and then passed on the lookout whistle.
Shang Qi stopped and then got on the horse and shouted: "Focus on those ships, and the recognition of them is considered a great achievement!"
He knew that things were probably complicated, so he gave up the reward.
The cavalry rushed to the beach and began to observe.
"Sir, they slowed down."
Shang Qi dismounted, raised his telescope with a larger multiplier and looked into the distance.
Just inside the telescope's sight, three unfamiliar ships were slowing down, and the people on the ship were pointing at the shore.
"Who is that? Tianfang people?"
"The clothes are not like them, adults, they are different in clothing, they are not Tianfang people!"
"Who else is around except for Tianfang people?"
"Be wary! Be wary!"
Shang Qi put down his telescope and shouted, but the three ships stopped and no longer approached.
"What do they mean?"
"Do you think we are not friendly?"
Shang Qi said cautiously: "It's not a friend, be careful and report it to Lord Fang immediately afterwards."
Just as the Ming army was on guard on the shore, the three ships finally turned around and left.
Shang Qi immediately sent a messenger to report to Fang Zheng, and then had a comfortable and sour vermicelli.
When he patted his belly and burped like the soldiers, the lookout whistle screamed again.
"There is a fleet coming!"
Shang Qi, who had just eaten, was so satisfied that he wanted to find a place to doze off, was angry.
He was strangely angry!
"Go to sea! Go to sea!"
There are ships here. Although they are a little smaller, their morale is at its peak. Shang Qi wants to try the other party's quality, even if it makes some sacrifices, it is worth it.
So the soldiers rushed to the dock frantically, but there were only two ships on the dock, and they were new ships, and they could sit at most thirty-four people.
After a snatch, a general flag officer took his subordinates to board the boat successfully, and then ordered the boatman to start.
"It's our ship! Sir, I saw the treasure ship."
"It's ours!"
After a storm, the shore finally calmed down.
A small boat came first, and the officer on the boat shouted: "Who is here?"
"I am a businessman!"
Shang Qi felt that he was a tragedy. After being "exiled" here, it was fine if the potato vermicelli fans wanted to vomit when they saw it, but they were even shocked three times a day.
This is impossible to live this day!
So he said, "More than an hour ago, three ships that I had never seen before were peeping nearby. I saw that they looked like Tianfang people, but how dare the Tianfang people spy on the Ming Dynasty? Moreover, their clothes were completely different from those of Tianfang people. Later they went to the right!"
The boat went back immediately, and the flag verbs kept coming, and the fleet in the distance began to accelerate.
"Is this going to find their bad luck? OK!"
Shang Qi couldn't help but shouted ok, and his subordinates followed one after another, and there was a noise on the dock.
"Sir, the people here said that they found three ships that they had never seen before. Those people looked similar to Tianfang people, but their clothes were completely different."
A sharp look flashed in Lin Zheng's eyes and he shouted: "Turn and find them!"
The fleet began to turn and headed to the right.
...
One night, Lin Zheng stood on the bow of the boat with a blue face and cursed.
"How stupid is this to hit the reef! What about that idiot? Ask him to repair the ship by himself and then roll back by himself!"
On the right, an old warship had already landed, and a group of soldiers were looking at several craftsmen looking for ways to repair them.
"It's been delayed for almost two hours, don't let them run away!"
The fleet set out with full sails and began to expand its formation, expanding the scope of search.
Lin Zheng was a little anxious. He knew what his mission was, but he finally grabbed the opponent's tail, but wasted time by a runaway.
When it was afternoon, the warships of the provocateurs in front brought back a merchant ship from Tianfang people.
The familiar clothing disappointed Lin Zhengda. He believed in the judgment of the Ming army at the wharf because there was more than an hour there to recall. If there was still a mistake, no matter who it was, even Fang Zheng would be pulled back to the capital for impeachment.
When the merchant bowed to salute him, the familiar smell made Lin Zheng completely desperate.
