Chapter 348 [The pirates of the East China Sea, the feud of the past] six
Mu Linfeng originally thought so, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible. If he really wanted to lure his own navy out, then the fleet on the right should not light up the lights and sneak around to the rear of his own army. And this
If the fleet comes so blatantly, isn't it a self-destruct target?
The more Mu Linfeng thought about it, he felt that this matter was a bit strange, but for a while he couldn't figure out who the fleet belonged to, so he immediately ordered his artillerymen to continue shooting, and at the same time ordered a group of musketeers to monitor the fleet where the heart appeared.
Hong Chengchou was also a little surprised on the side, and quickly asked Mu Linfeng: "Commander Mu, are you really ignoring me? If they suspect the enemy's plan now, by the time they get close to our warship, it will be too late!"
It's not that Mu Linfeng didn't think of this, but if this fleet is not his enemy, wouldn't it cause unnecessary trouble if he fires hastily? However, what Hong Chengchou said is right. If the enemy's suspicion plan is real,
Just letting them get too close to each other is not the solution.
Mu Linfeng thought of this and immediately ordered Hong Chengchou to send a small boat to explore the situation before making a plan. He then ordered the artillerymen not to stop attacking.
But at this moment, an artilleryman on the ship where Mu Linfeng was on shouted happily: "I hit it, I hit it!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng and Hong Chengchou both looked into the distance and saw that one of the enemy ships had indeed begun to catch fire and smoke, and was beginning to sink.
Hong Chengchou also smiled and said: "Okay, I finally hit it!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but shook his head, and then thought to himself, in order to hit this ship, I don't know how many shells were wasted, but it doesn't matter, if you hit the first ship, there will be two and three. War is the best for these artillerymen.
Good training ground.
Mu Linfeng immediately said to the artillerymen: "Anyone who hits an enemy ship today will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for his mark, and a thousand taels for sinking an enemy ship!"
The artillerymen suddenly burst into joy and couldn't help but fire again and again. However, the musketeers on the ship seemed a little disappointed. They just regretted that this was a naval battle and that as a musketeer, there was no use for them.
Mu Linfeng noticed this and immediately said to the Musketeers: "You don't need to be envious, you will be useful soon!"
The musketeers didn't understand that in such a long-distance battle, they could sink a warship with just a few shots. Although they didn't understand what Mu Linfeng meant, they were still full of expectations. Three points was for war.
Of that passion, three parts is the self-esteem in one's heart, and four parts is the desire to reward money.
But at this moment Tokugawa Ie said again: "Husband, there seems to be something going on over there!"
Mu Linfeng and Hong Chengchou immediately looked to the other side. Their own boats had approached the fleet, and the fleet seemed to have stopped moving forward. Mu Linfeng thought to himself, could it be that their own scouts were discussing with them?
From time to time, the small boats of our own army began to return, but the fleet did not make any movement. It had stagnated on the sea surface and did not move. When he brought the small boats back, Mu Linfeng asked: "Whose fleet is this?"
The detective horse immediately reported: "Come to Mu Shuai, that batch is Zheng Zhilong's fleet from Fujian, but it is not a battleship, but a merchant ship. There are twenty ships. It is said that they are going to Japan. They happened to be sailing nearby. It is late at night. I originally wanted to
Those who came to our Huai'an port to spend the night didn't expect a war to break out here!"
Mu Linfeng had some doubts in his heart and murmured: "How come the merchant ships from Fujian come around so far? If they go from Huai'an to Japan, wouldn't it be closer to go directly from Fujian to the east?"

There are two forces, one is our Tokugawa family, and the other is the Toyotomi family, and most of the forces of the Toyotomi family are in the south of Japan. Zheng Zhilong’s wife is Miko’s aunt, so she is naturally a retainer of our Tokugawa family.
They are distant relatives, so their business has always been with our Tokugawa family, so naturally they have to avoid the South China Sea and go to Japan via the North Sea!"
After hearing what Tokugawa Ie said, Mu Linfeng was able to dispel his doubts and said immediately: "That's it!" After saying that, he quickly ordered Tan Ma: "Go and tell them not to enter the harbor for the time being and wait for this battle.
Let’s talk about it after it’s over!”
Unexpectedly, Tan Ma immediately said: "I have already tried to dissuade you like this, but the person in charge asked me to send a message to Mu Shuai and ask him if he can help me. They will definitely do what they can do!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of service can a caravan do?" But he was thinking in his mind that Zheng Zhilong has always been the maritime overlord in the coastal areas of the Central Plains. This caravan will definitely encounter dangers such as pirates when going to sea.
The helmsmen of these caravans also played ordinary roles, and then asked: "Did you tell me the name of the person in charge?"
The Tanma immediately said: "He said his name is Zheng Xing!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but shuddered when he heard this. Zheng Xing was a fierce general under Zheng Zhilong. According to historical records, this political subordinate was divided into eighteen deployments. The generals who commanded these eighteen deployments were called
Eighteen pioneers, and Zheng Xing's ranking is second only to Zheng Zhilong.
Hong Chengchou saw Mu Linfeng's expression was different and couldn't help but wonder: "Does Commander Mu know this person?"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said: "I've heard of it! When it comes to naval battles, this person is a good hand. This time, Zheng Xing was asked to personally escort this batch of goods. It must not be easy for this batch of goods!"
Hong Chengchou pondered for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "Could this Zheng Xing be the Zheng Xing who is one of the Eighteen Zhizhi as famous as Zheng Zhilong?"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said: "It turns out that Lord Hong also knows this person, it is this Zheng Xing!"
Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment and then said to Mu Linfeng: "Commander Mu, Zheng Zhilong is now the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. He knows that we are rebels from the imperial court, so why does he dare to easily sail merchant ships to our Huai'an to borrow a port? This is essential.
Be on guard!"
What Hong Chengchou said was very reasonable. Mu Linfeng had also thought about this. However, Mu Linfeng firmly believed that Zheng Zhilong had decided to change his previous plan when he saw the war in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Zheng Zhilong was originally a pirate, but he was later recruited.
How loyal the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were to the Ming Dynasty cannot be expressed in words. And in this autumn of troubled times, how could a hero like Zheng Zhilong not have his own plans?
Mu Linfeng also thought about whether it was because of his close relationship with the two sisters Zheng Lianxiang and Zheng Xiyu that Zheng Zhilong thought that he would never attack his caravan? This is also possible. This is very true for mentally retarded people. According to Mu
Linfeng has a good temper and really won't do anything to him, but once he goes south, it's uncertain if Zheng Zhilong becomes his enemy at that time.
Thinking of the two sisters Zheng Lianxiang and Zheng Xiyu, Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel sad. It had been several months since he broke up with her two sisters. He didn't know what was happening to the sisters at the moment.
Mu Linfeng thought for a while, but was immediately distracted by the sound of gunfire, but heard someone say: "I hit another one!"
Mu Linfeng followed the sound and saw that another enemy ship had indeed been shot and sank. Then he said to Tan Ma: "You can go there again and ask Zheng Xing if he can come and talk about it?"
The Tanma immediately drove the boat towards Zheng Xing's caravan, but he heard Hong Chengchou say from the side: "Mu Shuai's plan is brilliant!"
Mu Linfeng didn't know why. Hong Chengchou suddenly praised him for having a clever plan, but he did nothing. He just asked Tan Ma to call Zheng Xing to explain. What kind of clever plan was this?
Hong Chengchou said quickly: "If she is so humble and invites him to come but is rejected, it is obvious that they have some conspiracy. This test will show that Hong did not think of this. You are still wise, Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart when he heard this: "I came to Zheng Xing just because he is Lianxiang and Xiyu's subordinates to Zheng Zhilong. I really didn't expect what you said!" But he smiled and said: "Where?
, where, Master Hong has actually known it for a long time, he just held back and gave Mu a chance to show off!"
Hong Chengchou laughed when he heard this and said nothing. Mu Linfeng thought to himself, looking at your expression, it seems that I really told you what I meant? You old fox.
The artillery fire continued, and from time to time there was a rumble, and suddenly a wave of water was stirred up in front of the battleship where Mu Linfeng was, scattering on the battleship, splashing everyone with seawater. It was obviously an enemy artillery shell that almost hit the battleship.
Tokugawa Jie immediately stepped forward to hold Mu Linfeng's hand and asked, "Husband, are you okay?"
Mu Linfeng held Tokugawa Ie's hand tightly, smiled slightly, and then asked Tokugawa Ie with concern: "Madam, are you okay too?"
Tokugawa Jie shook his head quickly, and Hong Chengchou said from the side: "Mushuai, madam, it's too dangerous on the deck, why don't you two go into the cabin?"
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "If we enter the cabin and the warship is hit and sinks, wouldn't we die faster?" But he said: "No need, the soldiers are in more danger here, Mu is willing to be with the soldiers!
"
The soldiers on the battleship were moved after hearing this, and they couldn't help but hurriedly said in unison: "Mu Shuai is mighty, Mu Shuai is mighty..."
