Chapter 364: South China Sea, the Storm Is Gathering!

Yu Jing glanced behind him.

One hundred warships.

Half are equipped with artillery.

Half have not yet been installed.

In fact, he felt that it was enough to go to Palawan with fifty warships equipped with artillery.

Fifty warships also equipped with catapults.

He doesn't like it no matter how he looks at it now.

It's like, if there is a young and beautiful woman around, who will pay attention to the bad wife.

It’s not that he loves the new and hates the old.

It’s just human nature!

But His Highness insisted on bringing fifty unmodified warships.

Well, he knows the reason even without asking.

His Highness is worried that the naval officers are not skilled in the training of newly modified warships.

In case of accident.

Fifty unmodified warships can also ensure invincibility.

Is this too cautious?

He could not understand the reason for this caution.

…

As the time goes.

More and more people are gathering in the bay.

"What is your lord doing?"

"My man works at the dock, and I heard that the navy is going to Luzon to exterminate a group of pirates!"

"Luzon? Where is Luzon?"

"I heard it's south of our Dongfan. It's quite far away this time. It's said it would take half a month to go back and forth!"

"Tsk tsk, our prince's navy is finally going to fight. I wonder how effective it is in combat?"

…

"The prince is here!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.

The people saw that Zhu Di appeared with a large group of people and approached the dock where the navy warship was parked.

Except for Zhu Di, the observation group, and the powerful merchants.

There are also Tan Yuan and other generals of the first town of the army.

Sun Yuanchu led a battalion of soldiers to follow in formation, marching in order, carrying firecrackers on their backs.

When Yu Jing saw Jun Jun, his face turned green.

As soon as Zhu Di boarded the flagship, he couldn't wait to get close to Zhu Di, looking at Zhu Di aggrievedly like an injured little daughter-in-law.

Zhu Di glared angrily, "Don't disgust me!"

Yu Jing laughed sarcastically, "Your Highness, our navy officers are also equipped with muskets. After defeating the pirate warships, our navy officers can directly land on Palawan Island and attack the pirates' lair without using the army at all!"

"Why, you look down on our army!"

Snapped!

When the voice came from behind, before Yu Jing could turn around, a hand slapped his shoulder heavily.

Yu Jing almost stumbled and fell.

Turning around, he saw Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and other generals from the first town of the army standing behind him, staring eagerly.

Damn it!

Yu Jing angrily cursed inwardly, "These killers can't be beaten. There's really nothing they can do against them."

The credit for destroying pirates.

His navy wants to monopolize it!

It's unreasonable for the Army to take a share of the pie.

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Old Yu, you don't want to get rid of shit, you want to monopolize it. This will narrow the road. To be honest, when we go back to Jinling in the future, our army actually wants to go back by land. It will be bumpy by boat, and the soldiers will They are seasick, which greatly affects their combat effectiveness. Moreover, the army travels overland and crosses the state, which is so majestic!"

Hey!

This group of killers in the First Town clearly reminded him that when His Highness returns to the court in the future, the Army's First Town will be the protagonist, and the Navy will have to take advantage of the Army.

"Lao Tan, Lao Zhang, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I just feel that the pirates in Palawan Island are not worth taking action from you army men..."

snort!

Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others laughed and snorted.

I guess Yu Jing is interested.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You perform well. If you perform well, when we train the Mixed Association this year, we will ask Tan Yuan and others to cooperate with your navy to train a Marine Corps battalion for you..."

Navy officers and men are all valuable talents for manning ships and artillery.

It would be too wasteful to waste it on land combat.

Moreover, naval officers mainly learn about warships and warships fighting together.

There are some differences between land battles and naval battles.

In the future, the navy will undertake the task of outward exploration.

Practice a Marine Battalion.

General land battles are best left to the Marine Battalion.

Since we want to develop, we must develop as comprehensively as possible and be more powerful in combat effectiveness.

After Yu Jing heard this, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Yes! You must work hard in your humble position!"

Yu Jing's voice was loud.

After alarming Lan Yu and others who got on the warship, they ran around to look and touch.

Everyone has already visited this warship equipped with twenty-four cannons.

Too greedy.

Can't get enough of it.

When Zhu Di saw people boarding the warship one after another, he put away his smile and said, "Blow the trumpet and set off."

After Yu Jing received the order, he conveyed the order immediately.

Woo woo woo...

The horns sounded one after another.

One by one, the warships began to slowly raise their sails...

The people on the shore watched and talked excitedly.

"It's time to set sail!"

"Tsk, tsk, this is the first time I've seen our Jilong Island. So many warships were dispatched at one time, it's so spectacular!"

"Our navy will definitely win!"

"King Yan is a thousand years old!"

"King Yan is a thousand years old and he is ready to win!"

"King Yan is a thousand years old and he is ready to win!"

…

The people talked excitedly, and finally they all turned into King Yan's thousand-year-old king, and the mountain shouted for victory.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at the cheering people on the beach, silent and dignified.

After these people moved to Jilong Island, they gradually forgot about the Ming Dynasty.

It’s not that people change their minds too quickly when they see different things.

It was Zhu Laosi who was too kind to them and had too much prestige and influence!

Zhu Di stood at the stern of the flagship. Among the crowd, he found Xu Miaoyun who was waving to him with her child, and smiled and waved back.

Amid the strong expectations of the people, the warships sailed out of Jilong Island, gradually organized into formations, and sailed into the strait.

Head south.

…

on deck.

Zhu Di asked someone to find Lan Yu and others.

Lan Yu and others looked at Zhu Di in confusion.

Zhu Di smiled and motioned to Yu Jing: "Yu Jing, let me introduce to you the pirates we want to destroy this time."

After Yu Jing accepted the order, he took out a sea chart.

Hanging on the mast, he introduced: "Everyone, this is Luzon. The ruler of Luzon, we call him King Lagan in transliteration. The capital of Luzon is Manila, right here..."

…

"And the pirates we want to conquer occupy a large island in northwest Luzon, Manila Island..."

It's none other than someone else who controls this gang of pirates.

It is the Chen family in Malacca.

Min County was defeated and the facilities on Jilong Island were destroyed.

Chen Zuyi retreated from Jilong Island and incorporated some small pirate forces in the southern waters of Dongfan along the way.

Then fully retreated to Palawan Island.

These few years.

Maritime traders heading to Luzon are always driven away and plundered by this group of pirates.

Luzon is also one of the dumping places for various products in Fujian.

The Ming Dynasty had all kinds of cloth, porcelain, and silk fabrics that Luzon needed.

Luzon is rich in gold, which is in great need of both maritime merchants and Zhu Di.

This group of pirates led by Chen Zhong has seriously hindered everyone from making a fortune.

Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents!

What’s more, it’s more than that.

All merchant ships heading to the southern waters are likely to be attacked by this group of pirates.

Every time, I had to follow Liang Daoming's navy.

This all costs money.

…

Lan Yu curiously asked: "How many warships does this group of pirates have?"

"According to the information we have learned, there are thirty-five old-fashioned warships. As for how many armed forces there are on the island, it is not yet clear. However, as long as we sink or capture the other side's warships, we will not protect the pirates on the island. Worry."

Lan Yu saw that Yu Jing was full of confidence.

He turned to look at Tan Yuan and others.

Also, this time there are not only naval officers from a hundred warships.

That's more than six thousand people.

All are equipped with swords, shields and fire guns.

Plus a battalion of the first target of the First Association.

Confidence is the way to go.

This time, in addition to watching Zhu Laosi's naval combat, they could also watch the army's actual combat.

He is looking forward to it!

…

at the same time.

Srivijaya.

Liang Daoming’s base camp.

Dozens of warships slowly left the dock.

Liang Daoming and Lu Zhen stood at the bow of the flagship.

Lu Zhen said with a smile: "This time, I can finally see King Yan's navy equipped with artillery in actual combat."

What is the combat effectiveness of King Yan's navy?

No one has any clue.

After all, King Yan was the first to put artillery on the warship.

And directly modified fifty warships.

He and Liang Daoming were both curious about how the artillery performed after it was moved onto the warship.

As for why he appeared in Srivijaya.

Very simple.

After the observation group arrived at Jilong Island.

He took his brothers and left the plum vase.

Plum vase and Jilong Island are too close.

He doesn't want to see old acquaintances like Lan Yu yet.

The loser's last bit of pathetic self-esteem.

Liang Daoming's eyes flashed with urgency, and he was also very curious.

If the combat effectiveness of the artillery on the ship is enhanced, he will also modify his warships.

"Senior Lu, have you really decided to join King Yan after the observation group leaves?" Liang Daoming looked at Lu Zhen.

"Um!"

Lu Zhen nodded with a smile and asked: "What about you? Where are you Liang family going? King Yan is so vigorously developing the navy, and he also personally stays in Jilong Island to organize and train the first army town. It is obvious that he points his sword to the whole world. I don't think so. These small countries and forces in the four seas are the opponents of King Yan. "

The reason why King Yan did not take action was that the time was not right yet.

Liang Daoming smiled bitterly.

Turn your head and look toward the stern of the ship.

Lu Zhen followed Liang Daoming's gaze.

The Liang family, the family behind Liang Daoming's generals, gathered together and talked in low voices.

"This fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is a powerful dragon, in the four seas, he still has to deal with local snakes like us. Can he talk to us and discuss it easily?"

"I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix! We can do business together. If the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty wants us to set up his rural village commune and employ workers to share the stock, don't even think about it. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you! "

"Let's see how capable the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, whom the general praised so highly, is!"

…

Liang Daoming had no choice but to smile bitterly and look away, "Senior Lu, do you understand now?"

In fact, he once wanted to join King Yan.

Assist King Yan to conquer the four seas and expand territory.

In the future, it is indispensable to have a feudal lord and a prime minister.

It’s also a good way out, isn’t it?

But the family, as well as the families behind the generals under his command, were very resistant to this.

The rural village community had done it before, but it was corrupted by this group of people.

Even my uncle pointed at his nose and scolded him for being an unworthy descendant.

As for the employment-share system, don't even think about it.

If you ask these people to pluck a hair, they will feel severe pain in their flesh.

"Now, I can only take one step at a time and let these frogs in the well see the power of King Yan..."

No matter what the future decision will be, at least in the next cooperation, these people must not be dissatisfied and dare to do something against the King of Yan behind his back.

Last year, the King of Yan trained the first army town in Jilong Island. He and Lu Zhen visited it.

He knew how elite the army was.

Now, there is still some uncertainty about the combat effectiveness of the warships modified with artillery.

As long as this battle, the navy of the King of Yan can show its power.

The group of people under his command should be honest.

Even if they still refuse to be reorganized by the King of Yan, at least they dare not target the King of Yan.

He doesn't want to be killed by these frogs in the well.

Lu Zhen nodded, "I understand your difficulties. It's hard to turn a big ship around."

Liang Daoming's power is too great.

Many families in Srivijaya are attached to him. While they are powerful, they are also controlled by these families.

He is different.

As long as they brothers discuss it well, there will be no resistance.

...

Malacca.

The old nest of the Chen family.

The Chen family is more powerful than Liang Daoming.

Directly occupied a coastal city.

Outside the city, on the coast, there is a wide land.

Chen's 20,000 new troops lined up.

Chen Zuyi and Chen Shou, father and son, accompanied by the Chen family's family generals, rode to a warship stranded on the beach.

Everyone got off the horse.

When Chen Zuyi got on the stranded warship, he turned around and said, "Show all the training results to everyone."

Chen Shou smiled confidently, "Father, just watch! Although I don't know Zhu Silang's new army in detail, our new army is definitely not inferior to Zhu Silang!"

After the inspection today.

His new army will send a 3,000-man flag to take a warship to Palawan Island.

The Chen family must not lose Palawan Island.

Control Palawan Island.

Prevent the Ming Dynasty merchants from approaching Luzon, and the Chen family will monopolize the trade with Luzon.

The Chen family can continue to earn wealth from it.

That's fine.

Palawan Island is also the springboard for the Chen family to return to Jilong Island.

Chen Zuyi nodded with satisfaction.

Board the stranded warship and use it as an observation platform.

…

When Chen Shou saw everyone board the warship, he suddenly became ambitious.

It was time for him to perform.

In order to equip this new army.

The Chen family almost emptied their savings!

This year, they will start to send troops to various places in Malacca.

The Luzon direction will temporarily take a defensive approach.

As long as Malacca is occupied.

Concentrate the manpower and financial resources of Malacca.

One day, he will be able to fight the fourth prince of Ming and avenge his previous shame!

"Order!"

…

One order after another came out of Chen Shou's mouth.

The array of 20,000 people began to change instantly.

Three muskets equipped with fire guns, totaling 10,000 people, began to deploy according to the three-stage shooting that Chen Shou learned in Min County.

Bang bang bang...

Bang bang bang...

The dense shooting sound of 10,000 people rang out, and smoke instantly enveloped the entire array.

The bullets swept densely, and Chen Zuyi and other observers on the warship were all stunned.

"Kill!"

Soon, the volley of gunfire ended.

Amid the shouts of killing, Chen's private soldiers drew their swords and raised their shields, and began to charge, in groups of five, cooperating with each other...

"Good!"

"General, we have such elite troops, we will definitely be able to pacify Malacca!"

"General, you will be crowned emperor in Malacca soon!"

...

The drill was still going on below, and on the warship, Chen Zuyi's family generals had already begun to flatter excitedly.

Chen Zuyi couldn't help but smile.

That day, the drill ended.

Dozens of warships, carrying a flag, and three thousand musketeers set off.

If you look closely, you will find that some of Chen Zuyi's warships are actually equipped with artillery.

However, they are all placed on the deck.

The number is also relatively small.

...

For a time, the South China Sea gathered, and all parties rushed to the South China Sea.

Jinling.

After the Spring Festival, Zhu Yuanzhang was also nervously waiting for news from Fujian.

A year ago, Lan Yu sent back the news and told him.

After the Spring Festival, they will watch Zhu Di's navy fight against bandits...
