After Liu Hua left, Zhu Yunniang walked out of the inner hall behind Qian Wubing and looked at the door with a frown.
"How about Si Niang sending a few people to keep an eye on him?"
"No need!" Qian Wubing raised his head: "He wants to prove himself, so I will give him a chance to prove himself. If people stare at him, it will be too traceable!"
"What if he takes that Ruan Lord away and never comes back again!" Zhu Yunniang vaguely guessed what Qian Wubing's plan was, but she felt that Qian Wubing was a little too big, a hundred people.
, not three or five, just lost like this, Qian Wubing doesn't feel bad, she still feels bad for him.
"Whether we come back or not, it's a good thing for us!" Qian Wubing laughed. After this girl was with him, she seemed to be less willing to use her brain. Such an obvious thing should not be difficult with her ice and snow intelligence.
Guessed.
"The people he takes away must be his close friends. He is in a foreign country and is doing such a dangerous job. He doesn't dare to take people who are worried about him!" He babbled to the outside: "These people who came here are here.
, he is afraid that they are just these die-hard loyalists. If they don’t come back, we can safely use the remaining thousands of people without worrying about our unstable military morale!"
"Of course, if he kills Lord Ruan and comes back with what I want, then of course there is no need to doubt this person's loyalty, and I can let him go!" He spread his hands and said, "While I'm at it, there's no need to doubt this person's loyalty.
It's better for him to have something like this than to sit idle in the city with nothing to do! I don't care about Lord Ruan's life or death at all!"
Zhu Yunniang looked at him and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "I think you are starting to look like the acting commander of the Jin Yiwei at this time!"
"Are you saying that I am a master of strategizing and planning?" Qian Wubing laughed.
"I mean you've become sinister!" Zhu Yunniang chuckled and avoided Qian Wubing's eye roll, "I'm going out for a walk!"
"Bring more manpower!" Qian Wubing shouted from behind, having already followed Zhu Yunniang.
After thinking about it, Qian Wubing dropped what he was doing and walked out. At this time, he was really uneasy about letting Zhu Yunniang run around in the city.
Seeing Qian Wubing chasing after her, Zhu Yunniang's face was filled with smiles.
"Let's go for a walk outside the city!" Zhu Yunniang took his arm.
"Okay!" Qian Wubing looked around: "Let's go and walk around that mountain, it seems like there is a temple there!"
…
On the wide sea, two warships were sailing rapidly one behind the other. The eye-catching dragon flags on the ships were flapping in the wind, as if they were announcing their identities to everyone who saw them.
Yes, this is the warship of the Ming Dynasty! Although its size cannot be compared with the huge fleet that passed through this sea area not long ago, in fact, the two are not comparable at all.
Even Qian Wubing's armored ship was, in the final analysis, nothing more than an armed merchant ship. No matter how many artillery pieces Qian Wubing installed on the armored ship, it could not hide the vast warehouse beneath the huge deck.
However, they are different. They are warships. From the day they were launched into the water, they are for fighting, and all their equipment, structure and configuration are designed for better fighting!
This is the first time in the past decades that a Ming warship has set foot in this sea area. The last time a warship appeared here dates back to the glorious era of the Yongle period.
"How long does it take to get to Champa!" On the bow of the boat, an official in red robe stood facing the sea breeze, seemingly not caring at all about the slightly biting sea breeze that turned the tip of his nose into
Slightly red.
"Lord Wang!" Behind him, a man dressed in royal robes looked at the struggling sail above his head and replied, "This navy warship is faster than the clipper I rode that day.
I set off early in the morning that day and arrived in Qiongzhou at 10pm on the third day, but there was a favorable wind when we came here, so we should arrive today!"
He looked at the adult's pale face with some worry. He has been vomiting for two days. Is this adult going to vomit again?
I heard that this gentleman was personally recommended to Your Majesty by Mr. Zhang Ge from the cabinet. His background is very scary. However, no matter how big his background is, this person who has never been at sea, God really doesn't give anyone face. He deserves to be vomited.
Those who should still vomit will still faint, and those who should faint will still faint.
Wang Shouren declined the kindness of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard next to him who invited him to sit in the cabin. It would be better to enjoy the breeze outside. In the cabin, the smell was overwhelming. It was really not a human feeling, let alone the past two days.
He had nothing to eat, even the little food he had eaten before boarding the ship was completely vomited. He was a little doubtful. If he couldn't reach Champa today, would he have the energy to get off the ship by himself?
Went on.
Zhang Ge Lao recommended himself to come to Champa to comfort him. What does this mean? He has not figured it out until now. Whether it is on horseback from Nanjing to Beijing or on a warship from Guangzhou to Champa, he has thought about it.
I thought again, but there was no result. It happened in such a hurry that without any preparation, the imperial court carried me directly from Nanjing to Beijing, and then from Beijing to Guangzhou.
He knew what kind of place Champa was, and he was very pleased that this overseas foreign country came to join the Ming Dynasty. After all, this was also an expansion of territory. He had never heard of such a powerful figure as the Sanbao eunuch who went to sea just once.
The Ming Dynasty found a piece of land. It can be said that he was happy to receive the imperial edict to comfort the city. Of course, it would be even better if he didn't get seasick.
He also knew a little about the dangers of this trip. The Jinyiwei who sent him his credentials did not know what happened after he left the Sihai Fleet. Maybe Champa City was now occupied by the Sihai Fleet, or maybe the war was still in a stalemate.
After all, in the eyes of the cabinet, it is still very unreliable for a fleet, including the thousands of soldiers from the "Overseas Thousand Households Station" of Jin Yiwei, to take over a country and a city. Therefore, this time,
Accompanying him were two warships of the Guangzhou Navy with more than 500 men. Wang Shouren did not know that this was all the support sent by the imperial court to capture the city. Even these two warships
, hundreds of people, it was all the result of Zhu Houzhao losing his temper and the cabinet making some concessions.
In the view of the cabinet, it is really not a wise move to waste national power and send troops on an expedition for a small foreign country that has no benefit to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's most intimate concern is in the north, so any precious military power should not be wasted, let alone
It is said that it is a small foreign country that everyone has forgotten for decades and even most people don't know about it.
In fact, from the attitude of Dongfan, the capital of the imperial court, Qian Wubing can deduce what attitude they should have towards Champa. Even Dongfan Island, which is so close at hand, will be abandoned if the court says it is not necessary.
In the city, except for Zhu Houzhao who was excited, few of the cabinet ministers really liked it.
Sending two ships and hundreds of soldiers to escort a consolation envoy to Champa is basically a declaration of sovereignty. If there are more, it will be gone!
