() The sun is high in the sky, and its brilliance cannot cover up the cold light as the emperor's sword is unsheathed again; the waves hit the coast, and the spray stirred up cannot extinguish the fire of revenge rekindled by the general of the country; the warm wind touches the ground, blowing
The Ming soldiers who had completed their assembly were filled with strong fighting spirit. It was as if they could feel the endless murderous aura permeating the world, and the seabirds that usually soared in the sky disappeared.
Next to Xin'an Base, Uncle Rong's resting place is on an unnamed hill. Among the more than 140 empty graves that appeared overnight, some of them were prepared by Yan Wuchou for himself. Today, the person who is here to host the memorial ceremony is Daming Town.
General, you can't see the table full of sacrifices, because there is nothing to comfort the heroic souls except recovering the treasure island; you can't hear the choking and crying, because only the rumble of the Ming Navy's cannons can let the loyal martyrs rest in peace! The people of the Ming Dynasty stood solemnly in the darkness under the hill.
, without cowardice or fear, because they all know that the Ming Dynasty will launch a battle of revenge for humble civilians like them! . .
"Soldiers!" Zhu Youcong, who put on his uniform again, had no expression on his face. He pointed at the grave mound behind him and said, "Do you know who is lying here?"
"I know!" Under the soil are martyrs and loyal souls of the Ming Dynasty! Once upon a time, they used their enthusiasm to welcome guests from far and near, used their kindness to warm the wounded hearts of foreigners, and used their hard-working hands to soothe the hearts of explorers.
Their faces were frightened and disturbed... Until one day, they realized that what they had paid so much for was persecution, slavery and ruthless massacre! Since the people's good intentions are not rewarded, then as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they have reason to lead
Give endless fear to those white-eyed wolves!
. .
"Once upon a time, the Tatars invaded our land and ravaged our people. With your help, I taught them what respect is!" After a pause, Zhu Youcong pointed into the distance and shouted: "Now, another group of bastards has appeared again.
, this time they are trying to turn our land of Ming Dynasty into a paradise for adventurers by relying on strong ships and cannons. I need you to accompany me again to let them know that our ancestors have a saying that repaying grievances directly! Now tell me loudly. Your answer
!”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Since the officers and soldiers of Da were reorganized into the secret new army deployed in the south, they were also equipped with cultural instructors. Those down-and-out scholars told them that complaining about virtue is just a group of people who only know how to obey and hope to enjoy happiness in the next life.
The bald man united with the rotten scholars to tamper with the words of the saint and use it to deceive people! Old Master Kong only said that if you get beaten, you have to beat him back. If someone pokes you with your finger, you have to pick up a brick and slap him until his face is bloody.
If you are unconscious, you are not worthy to be a disciple of the saint!
"I have ten military flags here given to you by the emperor, but you need to decorate them yourself!" After saying that, Zhu Youcong took out a white flag with a dragon with teeth and claws embroidered only with gold thread and said: "Western Yi
I think white symbolizes purity and nobility, a holy realm that is spotless. But I am from the Ming Dynasty, and I am the general who governs the country in the Ming Dynasty! So..." Without any warning, Zhu Youcong drew his sword and stabbed his palm with a bloody handprint.
: "Red is what I want. Now I hand over this military flag to you! It's up to you to decide whether you want it to remain pure or full of blood!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" There was no answer, and all the soldiers took out their swords. No matter what Xiyi said, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who had not yet had time to integrate with the world thought that the white color was an insult and was used to criticize Ma for wearing filial piety.
The soul-calling flag lying on it, no matter how exquisite the embroidery work is, can only be a worm. No one is willing to resist such a shameful rag! More than 30,000 people chose the color of the navy's flag with their actions.
Se, on the ten red military flags that are more than ten feet long and wide, the golden dragon soaked in blood looks even more majestic!
"Not bad! It's much more pleasing to the eye now!" He nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Youcong put away his smile and said seriously: "Since you chose red, you must remember that every inch of my land and every sea area in the Ming Dynasty belongs to you.
Bought with blood! I can’t guarantee that there will no longer be traitorous scoundrels seeking glory in our Ming Dynasty in the future, but as long as I exist for one day, as long as our Ming Dynasty’s navy still exists, we all have the responsibility and obligation to jointly defend the dignity of the country and the military flag.
honor!"
"Defend our people! Promote our country's prestige!" the slogan of the Ming Dynasty soldiers rang out again, and the people of Xin'an who were watching the troop dispatching ceremony also joined in the shouting.
"I won't bother to issue any military orders this time!" After the shouts subsided, Zhu Youcong's face was filled with an innocent smile again, pretending to be mysterious: "I will only tell you a confirmed trail quietly.
News. Xiyi believes that death represents tranquility and serenity. It is not as narrow-minded as we uneducated fools think. They have always been pious and grateful towards death! So, you all know what to do?
"
"I know!" The same two words, but this time there is less anger and more joy. It seems that the Ming people will not be able to understand the advanced civilization of the West in a short time! But since people enjoy death so much, then we always
Our ancestors also said that a gentleman is evil. We are reckless men and have not read many books, but it is okay to be a modest gentleman occasionally! This can also show the Western Yi that our soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are well-educated and sensible.
It is a land of etiquette, and everything you do will be done according to the words of the saints!
"Okay! Everyone board the ship!" After the military order was issued, Zhu Youcong said to Xiong Wencan beside him: "What's wrong? Mr. Xiong, as the governor of Fujian, acts as the magistrate of Xin'an County in Guangdong. Do you feel aggrieved?"
"General, I fought with you in Liaodong! I think the Tatar surrender document also contains the credit of the lower officials. How can you do such a thing of crossing the river and burning the bridge?" Xiong Wencan is indeed very dissatisfied with the current arrangement, saying that he has done it too
With all his negotiation experience, why did this damn fat man abandon him at home but agreed to take Zhou Fengxiang, who was so proud and had no diplomatic experience, to go on an expedition? "With Uncle Yi's talent, at the negotiating table..."
"What to talk about? What to sentence?" You can negotiate with the Tatars, because they have existed since the Tang Dynasty anyway. As long as you are less ambitious and more respectful, you will still be the people of the Ming Dynasty after atonement and cleaning up the scum.
But what we have to deal with are the Western colonists. They are not willing to be honest citizens, and Zhu Youcong does not have the energy to wait for them to multiply here for thousands of years before trying to reason with them. "Tell you, I am going to do it this time."
The only thing that matters is a bloodbath, do you want to go to hell and gossip with them?"
"Then you can't..." Credit, this is all the credit of Guangzu Yaozong! Xiong Wencan also hopes that when his name is recorded in the ancestral genealogy in the future, it will be mentioned that the most famous diplomat of the Ming Dynasty participated in the pacification of Liaodong.
Dongfan and a series of feats!
"Okay! Okay!" The headache aroused the utilitarianism of these scholars. Zhu Youcong had to try his best to comfort him and said: "In this way, I will let Uncle Yi follow me to show his face this time. I will fight against Japanese pirates in the future."
How about taking you there again? That would be a great achievement in destroying the country!"
"Then the general must keep his word!" Fafa Lao Sao can just express his personal opinion. No matter how ignorant Xiong Wencan is of rules, he still understands that Xin'an must be guarded by someone, and apart from General Zhenguo, he is the only one who can intimidate him, the governor of Fujian.
The scholar tried to take advantage of the opportunity to intervene. "I wonder what other arrangements the general has?"
"This time I leave two thousand guards for you, and declare Macau to be under martial law again immediately! Before our army wins, all residents are not allowed to go out without permission. You will send special personnel to distribute their food and daily necessities. If there is any disobedience, Just one word..."
"Kill!" Xiong Wencan said this word of course. The last time he dealt with the Tatars, they were making trouble behind their backs. Now they are fighting against their fellow countrymen, so why not use high-pressure measures to suppress them?
"Just understand!" Zhu Youcong nodded happily, and said again: "The ones cooperating with you in defending Xin'an this time are your old acquaintances Shen Shouchong and Zheng Hongkui. You must bring the navy to Xin'an base as soon as possible. The artillery is deployed in place. If the invading enemy is strong, fish boat No. 1 will be dispatched immediately to report to me!"
"Don't worry, general, I have a subordinate to ensure that Xin'an is safe!" After a pause, Xiong Wencan mentioned another name with great hatred. "There is news that Zheng Zhilong has sent people south with the intention of defecting to the imperial court again. What should I do to reply?" ?”
"Answer? I gave it to you last year, won't you forget it?" Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty is a free inn? You can vote or rebel if you want to vote? "But during our army's war, you have to be cowardly and submissive, try your best He stalls for time with his envoys, and as long as he guarantees that they won't stab him in the back, he can agree to anything he wants!"
"Understood!" Last year's reply? Xiong Wencan felt excited when he thought of this. The record of Chengzu's execution of Fang Xiaoru was about to be broken, because this damn fat man was talking about conquering Dongfan and making the Zheng thief king. If he was defeated, he would not be killed. Rao, if you dare to escape to Japan, you will kill twenty tribes! As for how to calculate these twenty tribes, you have to take advantage of the free time in these few days to make a total!
"General! General..." Wu Youxing, who was also feeling excited, did not forget his own job. He found an opportunity to get close to Zhu Youcong and said: "Xiaoguan heard that Xiyi has many new prescriptions for treating diseases. , do you think..."
"No problem, just take those medical books back to the palace!" Zhu Youcong can neither be a good prime minister nor a good doctor. There is no use keeping those books here, so why not give them away generously. "As for their doctors? , I once said that the life of a common person in my Ming Dynasty is worth a hundred foreign heads, and if there is any surplus after the accounts are settled, I will leave it all to you!"
This damn fat man is taking advantage of me for fun again. According to your calculation, even if there are twice as many Xiyi people, it won’t be enough to kill him! Fortunately, you didn’t burn the book, otherwise you won’t ask me to help you if something happens next time! Part of your wish has been fulfilled. Wu Youxing originally didn't want to go to those Western barbarians to learn their crafts. Anyway, Luo Jacob and other magicians also know some medical skills. As long as there are books there, there are still people who can't understand them?
"Brothers, it is up to you to create the reputation of the new generation of the Shen family. Don't let your father die under the influence of Jiuquan!" Beside the road, Shen Shouchong was giving earnest instructions to his brothers who were about to go on an expedition.
"Don't worry, sixth brother, we will definitely bring out the prestige of the Shen family in this battle!" Shen Shouzheng, as the eldest brother, clapped his chest loudly. The cause that his father had always dreamed of but could not complete has been done by General Zhenguo. It is impossible for Liaodong The prestige of the Shen family is still left, but even if Xiyi on Dongfan Island turns into a ghost, he still has to remember that there is still a Shen family in the Ming Dynasty!
"Brother Shen, don't worry, they won't be embarrassed with me!" Yuan Keli's son Yuan Shu didn't expect to get the opportunity to go on an expedition with General Zhenguo so quickly. After this battle, it seems that his father has the nerve to use me as an excuse to travel far away. Do you care about the fact that your visiting friend secretly followed the Shen brothers into the army?
"Why are you brats hanging around here? Why don't you board the ship quickly?" After yelling at the brothers who were reluctantly saying goodbye, Ma Chengzu scolded his men who were boarding the ship one after another: "Damn it, they were all reincarnated by turtles.
Huh? Lift your head and straighten your waist! Don’t embarrass me here!"
Of course there is a reason why Ma Chengzu and others are so angry. Now he finally understands why people with the same equipment can become elites and accompany the generals of the country in the north and south, but they can only be called reserves, just like the ordinary people next to them.
The murderous aura exuded by the drinking and playing comrades is really beyond the reach of recruits like them. But what does it matter? After this battle, we will also be the regular army of the Ming Dynasty!
"Bowery, that devil is going to massacre your compatriots. Don't you want to..." Schweira, who had the honor to follow Zhu Youcong on an expedition to see the strength of the Ming Dynasty's navy, still doesn't understand how a few battleships can do that.
Let these profit-seeking businessmen desperately betray their compatriots and work for the people of the Ming Dynasty? Aren't they afraid that if they fail, they will be sent to trial and hanged for treason?
"Oh! No! No! No! Dear Mr. Schwera, you are wrong!" Harlem corrected him seriously: "Although we were born in the Netherlands, our hearts belong to the Ming Dynasty. We are the Ming Dynasty.
The most loyal people! Confucius said that a gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to profit. To protect the dignity of our motherland and to kill relatives with righteousness, that is the most just thing in the world."
Is this my businessman from the West? He has only been in the Ming Dynasty for a few days and he is already talking about poetry? Why do you want to kill your relatives for the sake of justice? Are you willing to do such a thing if there are no benefits? Shivera is really wrong, Zhu
You Cong did not do any benefit to his Westerners this time, but he drew a very big deal and allowed them to completely abandon humanity in the next war!
"Mr. Schweira, I have to remind you that this empire once had the most powerful navy in the world, and the fleet strength owned by General Zhenguo today is beyond your imagination! Maybe you can wait until you get to the outer sea and see it.
You will know that the Western fleet is just a child's toy in front of the great general!" Bowery was the first person in the West to have experienced the destruction of Zou Weilian's artillery fire. This Shivera really thought that the damn fat man would use ten Dutch ships.
The warships followed the armed merchant ships forced from Macau to attack the city of Relanja? I'm not afraid to tell you that these are just other people's troop transports! Wait until you see those ships shining with strange light and loaded with weapons just to capture people.
Only when you are sent to an iron-clad battleship born in hell will you understand that you can distrust anyone in this world, but never doubt the determination and strength of General Zhen Guo in the Ming Dynasty for revenge!
"Perhaps, at this time, we should pray for the poor explorers on Dongfan Island and bless their souls to ascend to heaven and return to the embrace of the Lord as soon as possible!" It's not that Jacob Luo wants to pour cold water on people, but he knows that once that person dies,
The fat man crossed the sea and came to the city. He wanted to make a confession before he died, and asking the priest to help him pray was just an extravagant request! (To be continued.)
