Beiyang new warlord

"Master Qianhu, are you here to see Mao Shuai off?"

"You have a boat, don't you?"

It was really a life-saving straw, Mao Jue grabbed the guy by his collar and shouted in a hurry: "Gather your men now, set sail, hurry up!"

"Master Qianhu, I only have a sentry boat under my command, besides, it's late at night, so I'm going to sea now, really?"

Pang Pang Hai's face showed embarrassment, but he grabbed his collar suddenly, and Mao Jue roared fiercely.

"What, you dare to disobey the military order?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Now it's the third chance for a new official to take office, so I don't want to touch this bad luck. Amid Mao Jue's roar, this guy clenched his fists, thinking he was unlucky, and immediately yelled at the Ming army who was watching the fun with his broken voice. .

"Didn't you hear Master Qianhu? Why don't you gather right away?"

The sentinel boat is really not big, 13 meters, one floor, one mast, four oars in one stroke, and seven or eight people completely figured out a small flag. One controls the sail, four paddles, and one controls the big paddle. The boat rushed out like an arrow.

"Master Qianhu, where are we going?"

Standing at the bow of the boat, facing the wayward young master, Pang Hai asked flatteringly again, looking at the dark night in front of him, Mao Jue almost made him fall into the sea with a single word.

"Ningyuan direction, catch up with Mao Shuai's battleship!"

Chapter 19. Confidence

Not to mention these days, even Mao Jue's descendants a few months ago, sailing at night is full of dangers. The Yangtze River capsizes, and South Korea capsizes. Just now, I thought this young man had a sudden whim and wanted to go fishing at night.Thinking of chasing Mao Shuai's clipper boat, Pang Da Hai couldn't stop his calf bulging. In fact, a sentry ship like him can't sail the ocean. If he went to the deep sea, a big wave would cover him. However, he didn't go to the sea in the direction of Ningyuan. It's too dangerous to hide and walk, so if you're not sure on the shore, let Jiannu's crossbow!The cannon was fired.

Amidst the sound of oars from the four Ming soldiers, the boat ran for almost half an hour. The sea was absolutely terrifying. You couldn't even see any light in all directions. You could only see one wave after another, and your calves trembled. , Standing on the bow of the ship for a while, Pang Pang Hai still couldn't help but walked back to the middle of the ship, and hugged Mao Jue under the mast.

"Mr. Qian! It's a dark night and the waves are rough. Our boat may capsize if we go forward. I'm sorry for your life. You always have something wrong. You really can't afford it! Otherwise, we come back?"

"I choked on water once, and I don't care about the second time!"

Looking gloomyly at the dark sea in front of him with folded arms, Mao Jue's face was also as cloudy as this night, now Mao Wenlong is a flag floating in the sky, if he wants to have good or bad luck, he will have to follow suit. Even if Yuan Chonghuan didn't kill him, Shen Shi, who looked at him like a thorn in his side all day long, and now he was a wild man, would have to kill him. Ning Yuan drowned Mao Jue and was not willing to die in her hands.

"You wanted Ben to remember you, and now Ben will remember you!"

Just now, he was a bachelor and said harsh words, but Mao Jue remembered the lines he read in that book again. Seeing Pang Hai's ugly face, he spoke very slowly, word by word. When he came out, the face of Huo Hai who heard these words suddenly looked like an eggplant beaten by Shuang.

Indeed, he was the first one in the whole Qianhu Office to get the news, and the first one to fawn over him. The purpose was to think well in front of Mao Jue, the new Qianhu, so that he could take care of him when the time came, but this Mao Jue If you use him and he retreats, let alone make a good impression, you will have plenty of shoes in the future.

Nodding sadly, the huge sea walked to the bow of the ship again, and then commanded to chase south.

But tonight is really not peaceful, the moon in the sky is thick with clouds, and the moon can't shine at all. After chasing for more than ten minutes with the sea wind, the waves suddenly became bigger, and the boats followed one after another. There was also a strange sound of water rushing nearby, Pang Panghai is not a big official, he has a lot of ability, he actually got a pair of binoculars, and looked forward through the dark moonlight, After a while, he suddenly yelled in horror.

"It's terrible, we've crossed the sea dragon!"

Coming from post-modern times, Mao Jue has always been skeptical about things like dragons. At this juncture, Pang Hai actually called for dragons to retreat. He was furious and stood up suddenly. However, he didn't take two steps. He was also shocked by the scene in front of him. shocked.

It's too close, the black back is above the water, it's more than ten meters long, and water drops are sprayed in the sky like fountains, and the fishy smell can be smelled clearly here, it's not a dragon, it's a whale, it's a whale. A group of whales that come up to breathe!

In the era when Mao Jue came, not to mention the coastal waters, even the distant seas could hardly see this giant almond. However, it was still the [-]th century, and human's deep-sea fishing technology had not yet advanced to hunt and kill such giant beasts on a large scale. At that time, the oceans were still the era when they ruled the world.

"Lord Qianhu, whether you like it or not, you can't go any further! Offend you! Come! Lower the sails, turn around, let's go back to Phi Island!"

Yelling anxiously, regardless of Mao Jue, this Pang Xiaoqi strode directly to the back of the boat. Mao Jue himself was speechless. Not reconciled, he really has no way to force these people to die!

But amidst the hustle and bustle, in the dark night sky, suddenly three bright fireworks on the left roared into the sky, followed by three more on the right, and the two sides seemed to embrace each other, looking at the huge sea. , screaming in astonishment.

"My naval master of Ming Dynasty!"

Now I want to go, but I can’t go. After about a few minutes, the Liaodong-style long boats on both sides surrounded Mao Jue’s small boat like a crucian carp. The bow was four or five meters high, and a man wearing an iron helmet The man held up the firecracker and yelled loudly.

"You belong to that part, dare to give your life to the dog tartar, follow Mao Shuai, don't you want to live?"

This time I really put my heart into my stomach, raised my hands depressedly, and Mao Jue also yelled loudly.

"I am Mao Jue, the son of the commander-in-chief. I need to meet with the commander-in-chief on important matters! Please report quickly!"

These words really stunned the Ming army on the long boat. After a while, the big man in the iron helmet became a little more respectful, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"You wait, General Ben will report!"

A moment later, a small boat was lowered from the fleet at the other end, and several Ming soldiers carefully picked up Mao Jue on board, and joined the fleet while the huge sea waited eagerly.

Daming’s distant sea power is really not strong, except that Zheng He would be brilliant for a while at the beginning of the founding of the country, and soon fell silent. However, the offshore power, Daming is called the second in the world, and no one dares to call himself the boss. During the Jiajing period, in order to deal with Japanese pirates, Southeast Large-scale shipbuilding once reached tens of thousands. During the Wanli Korean War, the Ming Navy even dispatched, like Liu Rengui of the Tang Dynasty, once again beat the claws of the Japanese to the Japanese Island. They dared not move their nests for hundreds of years. Dongjiang Town It is the ability to use the navy as the old cat's life-saving ability. Mao Wenlong's fleet is really good.

It should be in the style of Fuchuan. The towering three-masted ship is 50 meters long, and there are six of them. There are also copper cannons with the thickness of the mouth of the sea bowl looking out fortifiedly. If the enemy sees it, they should stand up.

Looking at the boat, Mao Jue's eyes also sparkled.

He works in a shipyard, but it is not a shipyard, but a wooden landscape shipyard. Their factory used to be a flower shop on the Qinhuai River, and also participated in the production of retro lucky boats for sailing around the Pacific Ocean. I really have some experience.

"Young master, it's just ahead!"

A personal soldier led the way and stopped in front of the rear cabin door of the Dafu ship. Two guards opened the door, and a smell of damp wood came in. They entered the room again, and Mao Wenlong's old face finally appeared in front of Mao Jue.

Before Mao Jue got excited, Mao Wenlong, who was already lying down in his pajamas, hummed impatiently.

"Little bastard, why don't you just stay in Phi Island and come out after me!"

A vein twitched on Mao Jue's forehead. Genetically speaking, this body was born by you. I am a little beast, so you are an old beast.

Of course, Mao Jue didn't dare to say this like he did when he came here the first day, but bowed to Mao Wenlong rather sadly.

"Father, my lord father, can I not go to Ningyuan this time?"

"why?"

Mao Jue glanced to the left and right, Mao Wenlong waved his hands outside like chasing flies, and several soldiers immediately retreated and closed the door.

Taking a careful glance again, Mao Jue spit out the secret that had been buried in his heart for so many days.

"Yuan Chonghuan, I'm afraid it will be bad for my father!"

"how do I say this?"

All of a sudden, he seemed to wake up quite a bit. Mao Wenlong had killed many people in his life, and even Mao Jue couldn't stand the aggressive look in his eyes.

"That Yuan Chonghuan is a great talent, but his tone is higher than the sky. He bragged to the emperor that he could pacify the Liao Dynasty in three years! By fooling the emperor, he got the full power of the governor of Liaodong. This guy must be in a hurry now, and he will definitely not be reconciled after three years. , was executed by the emperor, for Quan Liao, he must be in the palm of his hand!"

"But to the north, he can't beat Jiannu's iron cavalry, and can't recover Liaoyang, Shenyang, and the grasslands to the west. Only to the east, the sea, can he expand the east, connect North Korea, and connect Shandong. Yuan Chonghuan coveted the source of wealth for this sea route. , but this road is in the hands of my father, and these meritorious deeds behind Jiannu also belong to my father, and Yuan Chonghuan will definitely bring down my father if he wants to cover his shame with this achievement!"

Mao Wenlong, who was speaking the truth, suddenly changed color, but the change was not because of Yuan Chonghuan. He grabbed Mao Jue by the collar, his eyes were murderous like a leopard, and he yelled as if he was gnashing his teeth.

"Little bastard, how do you know that Yuan Chonghuan boasted to the emperor that he could pacify Haikou of Liao in three years?"
