The system forced me to be emperor

For the remaining few days, Xiao Rui didn't have to worry about state affairs, and spent time with his daughters-in-law, but his back was exhausted.

When the time came to the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Rui was ready to set off.

On this tour, Xiao Rui took Li Yuanfang, Gai Zinie, Wang Dazhi, and Yan Qing to protect him. At the same time, he also had four adopted sons raised by Wang Dazhi, who were proficient in concealed weapons, poison techniques, and light kung fu. Finally, Azhu.

How brilliant is A Zhu's disguise technique. During this time, A Zhu made human skin masks for Xiao Rui, Li Yuanfang and others, which can disguise their identities, so bringing her is very useful.

In addition, A Zhu was also placed high hopes by Lu Zhi and others, that is to stare at Xiao Rui, not to be intoxicated by random flowers, and forget about his wife and children in the palace.

This made Xiao Rui dumbfounded, is he that kind of person?

Going out on tour by myself is a serious matter, not going out to pick up girls, not to mention that I have such high vision, can ordinary women be attracted to it?If he was a hungry person, then these concubines would not be the only ones in the harem, and it would already be full of colorful flowers.

When they arrived at the pier, Xiao Ze's family members were already waiting. Xiao Rui waved goodbye to the seven Cabinet Grand Masters, and then boarded the boat and started to set off!

The trip to Yingzhou this time was not on a large scale. The five sea-going ships with a length of 90 meters did not use Daxia's most advanced Ming treasure ship.There are more than [-] people on the five ships, including excellent sailors and oarsmen, and they are equipped with gunpowder and offensive equipment.

The fleet has to go eastward, pass through Huzhou and then go northeast, about [-] miles, to reach Yingzhou.The place where Emperor Xia settled was in Edo, so it took a few days before he arrived in Edo, and the whole journey took about ten days.

It was not the first time for Xiao Rui to take a boat, so he would not get seasick, but Li Yuanfang and Yan Qing felt uncomfortable.

It's a pity that it's winter, and the sea breeze is too cold, otherwise it would be nice to put a deck chair on the deck, eat some fruit, and enjoy the sea scenery.

According to the itinerary plan, the fleet will have to bypass the Osumi Strait on the south side of Yingzhou, and then go north to the coastal pier on the east side of Edo, which will be very close to Edo at that time.

Today, the ship just passed the Osumi Strait. Near the Osumi Strait, there is an island called Yakushima. There are very few indigenous Japanese living on the island, isolated from the world.But half a month ago, things were not peaceful here.

Because a large number of Japanese pirates came here suddenly and silently. There were 8000 to 30 people. The ships they took were not big. The coast of Yakushima is densely packed.

The Wa Kingdom has been destroyed, and Qi Jiguang is responsible for the security of the entire Yingzhou. What is the purpose of so many people hiding in Yakushima?

As Xiao Rui's ship passed through the Osumi Strait, the Japanese pirates took action immediately. They quickly boarded the ship and headed towards Xiao Rui's ship.Sharp firing pins were installed on their bows, and the Japanese pirates on board had cold and cruel faces, holding Japanese swords in their hands, ready to kill all directions.

It turned out that this group of pirates hid here to ambush Xiao Rui!But how did they know Xiao Rui's whereabouts?

Xiao Rui was resting in the room when he heard a rapid knock on the door. After Li Yuanfang came in, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are enemy ships coming!"

"Oh, really?" Xiao Rui had no expression on his face, he couldn't see any joy or anger, and he went out quickly. Standing on the deck, he saw a large group of ships coming from the north. From far to near, the ship where Xiao Rui was on was still There are six or seven nautical miles.

Among Wang Dazhi's four adoptive sons, there were those with excellent eyesight. They stood tall and saw far away, and they came down and said: "Your Majesty, the visitors are dressed as Japanese!"

Although Xiao Rui's ship was tall and tall, but there were many Japanese people, it was quite dangerous to fight.

Xiao Rui nodded to the naval commander who was leading the navigation this time. He immediately informed the ship to stop moving forward, then waved the semaphore, and all the oarsmen were dispatched. The other four ships protected the middle ship where Xiao Rui was, and at the same time the ship turned around. direction, and start moving backwards.

The leader of the Japanese is a small man. Seeing this scene, he laughed loudly and said, "Emperor Xia is scared! Boys, speed up and catch up, kill Emperor Xia, and reappear Wa and Qi!"

The Japanese pirates shouted excitedly and waved the Japanese sword in their hands.

It turns out that these Japanese pirates are not all Japanese, but also the old people of Qi State.

Chapter 640: The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change

The enemies hiding in Yakushima were not all Japanese, there were also the old people of Qi State, but the royal family of Qi State hid in Tiandu Small Country and nearby islands in order to restore Qi State.Now join forces with the Japanese and prepare to ambush Xiao Rui!

At this moment, facing the Japanese pirates attacking with teeth and claws, Xiao Rui's five seagoing ships quickly approached, and the oarsmen began to slide the boats manually and retreated backwards.

In the eyes of the Japanese, this scene meant to escape, which aroused the emotions of the Japanese even more, and they all rowed hard to catch up with red eyes.

Xiao Rui stood on the deck, watching the Japanese pirates chasing after him, and the distance was getting closer, his face remained unchanged.

On the other side, the commander in charge of this navigation has ordered the trebuchet, the bed crossbow, and the Zhuge Liannu to prepare.The Japanese pirates' boats took advantage of the wind, so they were faster.Daxia's sea-going ships are larger and heavier, so the speed is naturally slower.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and they were about to enter the attack range, Daxia's navy stood ready, holding the crossbow and the rope coldly, ready to launch an attack.On the other hand, the Japanese pirates howled excitedly. After all, it was an honor to be able to kill the Emperor Xia!

It's even closer!

"Shoot!" The pilot roared angrily, and in an instant, the powerful crossbow was fired, and the long-stretched arrow string bounced back straight, and the spear-like crossbow bolt was fired, flying towards the pirate ship.The pirate ship is full of Japanese pirates, and the deck is full, so as long as you shoot up, you don't need to deliberately aim at all. As long as you shoot on the deck, it's like piercing candied haws, shooting through several people.

Of course, although the crossbow arrows are fierce, how can they compare with gunpowder?

Behind the cluster of arrows of the crossbow arrows, there is a gunpowder bag. When the arrow is fired, the fuse is ignited, and the gunpowder bag also falls on the deck.

boom...

The gunpowder pack exploded, and the surrounding Japanese pirates wailed, causing heavy casualties.In this way, the first few Japanese pirate ships were killed like rats before they approached the ship.

However, the leader of the Japanese pirates urged the other ships to continue to attack. As long as they were close to the ships, these long-range attack devices would be useless.Even if you rely on crowds, you have to kill them!

This is indeed the case. If you get close, the long-range attack will be ineffective, but the Daxia Navy has crossbows for close-range shooting. Shooting condescendingly, the Japanese pirates sent another wave of heads.

Although the Japanese pirates suffered heavy casualties, their pirate ship still slammed into the Daxia sea ship, and the sharp firing pin crashed into the hull, and the two ships were immediately connected closely.Then the Japanese pirates defended while shooting, and then began to board the ship.

Once aboard the ship, for the Japanese pirates, the final step to victory is taken.

At this moment, the Great Xia Navy was extremely nervous. They bravely killed the enemy, prevented the Japanese pirates from attacking, and vowed to protect His Majesty's safety to the death.

Because there were four sea ships blocking the ship, Xiao Rui's ship had not been attacked by the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese pirates were red-eyed and belonged to the level of immortality, so the pilot commander was also very nervous, and immediately begged: "Your Majesty, please move Stepping into the cabin, the last general will lead the soldiers under his command, and he will surely wipe out the pirates, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Haha... I have always been at ease." Xiao Rui suddenly smiled on his expressionless face, and looked at Wu Wang Xiao Ze who was beside him.

"Third brother, isn't it?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Ze turned his head and looked at Xiao Rui, he sighed and said, "Yes!"

The pilot commander wondered, why is His Majesty so confident?In addition, His Majesty asked His Royal Highness the purpose of King Wu, could it be that King Wu and these pirates...

He hurriedly strangled the thought to death, not daring to think deeply.

At this time, Jia Xu explained the doubts in his mind to the leader of the pilot: "Commander Lu, look to the northeast!"

The pilot commander immediately turned his head to look, his face was startled!

What did he see?

A large number of sea-going ships sailed from the northeast direction, densely packed, the number was still higher than that of the Japanese pirates, they were very fast, and they came quickly.

Wang Dazhi's adoptive son has better eyesight and can see farther away. He saw the flags flying on the approaching ships clearly, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the flags flying on the ships are embroidered with the word 'Xia' and the word 'Qi'." Military flag!"

The pilot was overjoyed and said, "It's Qi's army, Qi Jiguang who is stationed in Yingzhou! They are here to save you!"

Immediately afterwards, this person came to his senses and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is so good at predicting things, you have already guessed that Japanese pirates will come to attack!"

Jia Xu caressed his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is going on patrol, how can there be only five escort ships, if there are too many, you can't lure the snake out of the cave!"

That's right, Xiao Rui had long suspected that the sea in Yingzhou would not be peaceful during this trip, so he arranged for people to notify Qi Jiguang early, and made an appointment with him, and at the same time asked him to secretly investigate the place where he could ambush.

Therefore, the Japanese pirates hiding in Yakushima seem to be hidden, but Qi Jiguang has long been in control, but he is worried that they still have conspiracy, so he did not launch an attack in advance, but prepared to wipe them out at sea.
