Chapter 2280 We Caught the Westerner

The bow of the boat broke through the waves, then sank heavily, and was later lifted up by the sea water.

"Seize them and hang them on the mast!"

Those ferocious faces were distorted, and the countless shouts were all one wish.

They want to prove that Ming is weak and can be defeated!

Then completely defeat this huge opponent.

Then they re-plan the world!

…

"grown ups……"

Lin was observing and said solemnly: "We need to drag them."

The deputy general was excited and said: "Sir, we don't know when Uncle Xinghe will arrive. If we are entangled, we will be in danger!"

If three warships were entangled, their artillery would not be able to deal with it. Once the enemy joins the enemy, the artillery is not as effective as the long sword.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

While speaking, Lin Zheng suddenly shouted. The deputy took a look and realized that the enemy ship had closed the distance.

"Easterly!"

An old boatman stood under the mast and roared. Everyone was obeying his instructions, including Liu Pu.

Liu Pu pulled the rope desperately, together with the two big men beside him.

"Left!"

The big man in front was almost sitting on Liu Pu's lap, who was leaning back. Liu Pu could even feel his body shaking when he roared.

So he pulled the rope hard to the left.

"Okay! Hold on! Hold on!"

The big man fixed the rope, and without turning around he cursed: "Block me! You're blocking me! Get out! I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish next time!"

Liu Pu didn't fight back. He was a little nervous just now, and he really blocked the big man's effort.

He silently went to the bow of the boat. After the big man stabilized the rope, he turned around and saw a companion laughing, so he cursed: "Smile! Have you distanced yourself? You're still laughing, you're still laughing!" I’ll beat you to death!”

He kicked his companion away, and he laughed and said: "The one you just scolded was the young marquis! The young marquis of the Liu family, hahahaha! What the hell do you want, Anyuan Hou's wife, go ahead, go quickly!" "

The big man was startled and looked around.

Liu Pu came with Fang Xing's tacit consent, but he had no command authority, not even the right to make suggestions.

He walked behind Lin Zheng and listened to Lin Zheng's instructions.

"Pull open some more!"

"Steady, don't go any faster, otherwise they will think they can't catch up!"

"Okay, don't be slow, it's too fake, don't be slow!"

"They are working hard, oh! The sail is almost blown away."

“…..”

The two sides have been chasing each other, and Lin Zheng has been directing from the bow. Liu Pu admires his grasp of the distance.

When the sky gradually dimmed, Lin Zheng's body relaxed a little.

"Sir, they're slowing down!"

The deputy general was already sweating profusely at the side. After seeing the enemy ship slowing down, he shouted with joy.

Lin Zheng, however, just stared at the enemy ship until the distance between the two sides became farther and farther, until the enemy ship could no longer be seen.

He turned around and saw Liu Pu behind him, so he cupped his hands and said, "You are neglecting the young Marquis."

Liu Pu cupped his hands and said, "Liu doesn't dare to get involved. He just wants to ask Mr. Lin for advice..."

Lin Zheng relaxed a little and said, "Excuse me, little Marquis."

After saying that, he sat down, looking very tired.

Liu Pu stood on the side and said: "Liu is in the Shenji camp. He has accompanied Emperor Wen on his northern expedition before. At that time, the cavalry and the opponent's pursuers did not dare to go back and forth like this for too long, but today the fleet has been dragging Are you worried about getting caught?"

Lin Zheng took a few sips from the water bag handed by the deputy general, then blinked and said: "Xiaguan has experienced many risks, bigger risks than this, plus our artillery has been preparing, the worst is to catch up and fire. Destroy them."

"But that means failure!"

Lin Zheng raised his head in astonishment, took a breath and said, "Little Marquis, what we need is to try our best, not to accomplish something, otherwise we will keep thinking about it and it will make people crazy!"

If the pressure is too long or too great, people will be driven crazy.

"Send someone to report the news, let's slow down!"

Night falls,

Fortunately, the stars were bright and the compass helped the fleet to move forward slowly.

Lin Zheng was sitting on the bow of the boat, eating a piece of cake and then leaning back to rest.

Liu Pu got preferential treatment and was given a bowl of noodles, but he was a little embarrassed to eat it.

Lin Zheng smelled the aroma of noodles, and his throat surged a few times. But after waiting for a while, the aroma was still there, but there was no sound of eating noodles.

"Little Marquis..."

Liu Pu was holding the noodles, but looking into the darkness in the distance.

"I have killed enemies, and I dare to charge into battle with one sword and one sword."

Liu Pu pushed the noodles towards Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng shrank and said, "Little Marquis, please eat quickly. I have already eaten."

"You just ate a piece of cake."

"Xiaguan was cut off from food, so he developed the habit of eating meticulously. He couldn't eat much at a time."

"That's it."

Liu Pu slowly ate the noodles, and Lin Zheng licked his lips and said, "When the water was cut off at sea, we almost had a fight. Little Marquis, you have never seen what people look like at that time. Like a beast!"

Liu Pu had never experienced this, so he asked: "Are we going to kill each other?"

"right."

Lin Zheng recalled that voyage and thought of Huang Jinlu's role. He couldn't help but praise: "That Huang Jinlu can really take the lead. It's a pity that he didn't become an official, so he went home to retire with an official title. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to serve in the navy." It’s a big deal.”

"Can you take the lead?"

"Yes, it has been several years since Huang Jinlu led by example and has a high prestige."

Liu Pu took a sip of noodle soup and felt his internal organs groaning comfortably.

He said thoughtfully: "His prestige is very high. I remember Huang Jinlu was born a pirate, right?"

Lin Zheng thought he was judging heroes by their origins, so he reluctantly hummed.

For the men in the army, those who have ability are heroes. Whether you are a prince or a peddler, you are admired by everyone.

Once the war starts, these people are like beacons, attracting followers.

For example, Zhu Di is like this.

Liu Pu remembered the scene of Zhu Di leading the heavy cavalry to charge the battle, and couldn't help sighing.

"The court has many concerns about overseas. Your Majesty and Xinghebo have been struggling to support it. Since Huang Jinlu is a pirate, and his prestige is still high, once his prestige is too high, what do you think the important officials in the court will react?"

Lin Zheng's body shook. He thought of a lot, and then he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he came from the military.

While feeling fortunate, he was also ashamed of his thoughts.

Liu Pu's voice was a little vague in the night wind: "Overseas will be an important development direction for the Ming Dynasty in the future, so we can't make any mistakes..."

Lin Zheng knew that Liu Pu was reminding him, so he bowed and said: "Thank you for your advice, young marquis."

Liu Pu ate a few mouthfuls of noodles, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said: "You have to risk your life to do things at sea. It's not easy for you."

"Yes!"

Lin Zheng smiled bitterly, thinking that this young marquis was not bad, at least he was not a playboy.

"Enemy ship discovered!"

The shout of the lookout was particularly harsh in the dark night.

Lin Zheng jumped up at once, then raised the telescope hanging on his chest and looked into the endless night.

In the dark night, just near the horizon, there were twinkling lights, and if you didn't pay attention to distinguish them, you would mistake them for stars in the sky.

The deputy general shouted, "Sir, are they crazy?"

Lin Zheng gritted his teeth and stared at the back, saying, "Aren't they afraid of straying from the course and hitting the reef in the middle of the night? Damn it! Speed ​​up! We have the star-pulling and sextant, we are not afraid of them!"

Liu Pu did not have the right to interfere with the command, so he expressed his opinion.

"Sir Lin, this is a good thing, it means that the Taixi people have taken the bait!"

Lin Zheng nodded, and then ordered, "Tell the brothers that we have caught the Taixi people, hahahaha!"
