As the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench a thirst that is near. Both Mu Tianqiu and Qian Ning understand this truth. When it comes to tolerance, they both have some tolerance. But for some reason, when they talk about Qian Wubing,
The initially uneasy mood suddenly seemed to calm down a lot. Yes, the empress was surrounded by some traitors in the palace, but with the rich and innocent foreign aid outside the palace, even if the traitors wanted to touch the empress, they had to do it first.
After careful consideration, Qian Wubing was currently in a certain climate overseas, with many warships under his command.
Therefore, many emperors in the past dynasties were wary of their relatives causing trouble to the court. There were certain reasons. Take Li Feng'er and Qian Wubing as examples. One of them was inside and the other was outside. They echoed each other.
The first thing one of these two people should consider is not how to make the move, but the consequences of the move. Whether he can withstand the winner, even if it is not substantial harm, it is just verbal slander.
I'm afraid you have to be careful what you say.
"Let Wu Huchen go to Tamsui?" Qian Ning thought for a while and made a suggestion. Even if Qian Wubing knew the news, the dust would have settled when he came back. It would be better to just regard this as the last trump card for the two of them.
"A few more warships will be launched this month. The Fujian Navy wants to replace these warships, but I'm afraid it won't be able to afford such a big capital. Things are very important. These ships must be
It needs to be transferred directly to Tamsui!" Mu Tianqiu nodded: "Okay, let Wu Huchen go and send it to Nanjing with the official document from the Zhenfu Division. I'm afraid someone who can speak well can give a hint!"
"Why don't we just let the people from the Fujian Navy interact with Wu Huchen, and we will just watch on the sidelines. At the same time, we will inform the prince not to help Wu Huchen. In this case, Qian Wubing will definitely know that Wu Huchen was bullied.
Come back in person!" Qian Ning shook his head, feeling that his proposal just now was a bit abrupt, so he couldn't help but change his approach.
"Go ahead and make arrangements!" Mu Tianqiu's eyes seemed a little dazed, and it was obvious that his attention at the moment had been diverted from this matter: "You are better than me in these evil tricks!"
This is not sarcasm, but praise. Even Qian Ning, who was caught by the Secret Investigation Department, is not specialized in doing these things that cannot be done blatantly. On the contrary, Mu Tianqiu's official position as a commander makes it difficult to do such things.
…
"Ah Qie" Looking at the sun on the horizon, Qian Wubing sneezed happily, and his blocked nose suddenly became clear. This feeling was really good.
Olivia next to him handed over a handkerchief. Qian Wubing took it casually and wiped his nose. Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed. Could he return the handkerchief that he had wiped his nose to?
Ah, if you don't return it, why don't you keep it in your arms? It's not appropriate, and it might give Olivia a wrong signal.
"Sir, the sun is perfect for you to bask in the sun outside, but the wind is strong on the bow of the ship. You can just go to the cabin!"
Luka said to Qian Wubing with a smile, with a look of concern on his face. He may not be the best foreign guard in the fleet, but he is definitely the best among Spaniards in the Ming Dynasty fleet.
One, of course he knows who his parents are. When his parents are sick, he cares more about them than anyone else.
"I'm not that delicate!" Qian Wubing chuckled, quietly curling up a handkerchief in his hand: "Who will lead the ship back? Has it been arranged?"
"Yan Qiqianhu led the team, the two injured ships and all the brothers on hand have returned. It will take about two days at most to reach Tamsui!"
Qian Wubing slightly nodded his head. Yesterday, everyone in Spain suddenly left the port and collided with the Sihai fleet cruising off the coast of Manga. Although the battle only lasted half an hour, both sides were injured. Spain
The Spanish sank two warships and injured about six or seven, while the Ming fleet also damaged one warship. Compared with previous results, this result can actually be regarded as a victory for everyone in Spain.
In particular, the Spaniards' actions in leaving the battlefield were very quick and decisive. Obviously, they had developed a mature set of tactics for the Ming Dynasty's fleet, but the Ming Dynasty's fleet was caught off guard and suffered a heavy loss.
Wang Yuyanjiu and others clamored to directly attack the opponent's port and engage in a decisive battle with the opponent. However, now Manlacca has been repaired by the Spaniards like a hedgehog. To describe the defense of Manlacca port as impregnable, that is absolutely not true.
It's an exaggeration. The two of them took six or seven warships as the vanguard and just approached the port of Malacca. They were barely hit by the cannons placed in and around the port by the Spaniards. This was because the two of them saw the opportunity.
They found that the opponent was bombarding them from a high position, and their own counterattack could not even wipe the opponent's oily skin. The two simply ran away. Even so, two of the ships had already suffered a lot of shells, and even the soldiers and sailors were broken.
Dozens of people were injured.
Facing the forts placed high on the mountain, the iron armor of the Sihai Fleet's ironclad ships had no effect at all this time. The shells fell directly from the sky on the deck and on the ship's building. This reckless attack had no effect.
Damaging and sinking ships is already very good.
Now, the Spaniards knew the determination of the Ming people, and the Ming people also knew that even if they lost many ships in the east, the Western expedition fleet was not an easy bone to chew. The two fleets were considered to be just around the corner.
It's wasted here.
Of course, Qian Wubing would not do such a thing as blocking the door. The Spaniards had Malacca at their back, and no one cared about how long his fleet was blocked outside. However, he could not afford to waste it.
The injured ships and personnel in need of repair were sent back to Tamsui. Qian Wubing led the fleet and began to head towards Siam. Today's Champa and Lao Port are the supply and rest bases for the fleet. As a ship of this size
Qian Wubing is more satisfied with the use of Liao Port as a supply and rest base. In addition to the fact that Liao Port has enough space for the fleet to maneuver, Prince Wali’s current efforts to welcome him are also one of the reasons. Compared with Siam, Champa is still
It's a bit poorer, but with such a scapegoat willing to pay for the fleet, why not do it if the money is good?
In fact, Prince Wali, who has received the support of the Ming Dynasty, can now be regarded as a comeback. With Champa as an ally and the support of the Ming Dynasty, his popularity in Siam has been unparalleled for a while, even in the Kingdom of Siam.
There are rumors among the important ministers that they hope that the old king will abdicate and Prince Wali will become the new king. Of course, there is no need to go into details as to how this rumor came about.
