The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1244

[1244. Chapter 1187 The divine ship descends from the sky]

Xiao Jing… Xiao Jing is completely unprepared.

From the beginning, he never thought that he would really come here to fight with the French people.

It is well known that the Franji people are good at boating. Their ships can travel thousands of miles. When they come to the Ming Sea, even the Ningbo Navy cannot catch up with them. This shows how well they understand ships. of strength.

Xiao Jing’s face was pale, and behind him, the command cabin was in chaos.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“Eunuch Xiao, Eunuch Xiao…”

Xiao Jing fell to the ground.

What this eunuch did was really not worth it. He originally said that if he cut off that thing, he would not only be able to have enough to eat in this life, but also live in peace for the rest of his life.

But why…

In fact, almost all the ministers have never seen such a battle.

Outside, someone shouted: “There are four thief ships. Your Highness the Prince has ordered us to pursue them!”

Four ships…

Ma Wensheng’s face turned sallow.

One against four.

Crazy… He even ran after me because he thought he didn’t die fast enough.

At this time, the rich knowledge base made all the officials speak: “Your Majesty, it’s terrible, we are really catching up with you. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. In the humble opinion of the minister, he should retreat, wait for opportunities, and be prepared.” The Japanese navy will gather together and destroy all the pirate ships. “

“Your Majesty, the son of a rich man cannot sit down.”

“Your Majesty, we should stay away from the enemy for now and strike later…”

“So…”

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked. .

He suddenly stood up.

He ignored the wails of the officials.

Instead, he quickly walked out of the command cabin.

There were almost no people on the deck, except for a few sailors, who took down the sails.

No enemy ships could be seen in the distance.

I think it was the sailors using telescopes on the observation deck who saw it.

The entire human scum steamship Wang Bu Shi is already facing a formidable enemy.

However, the ship was still traveling quickly, heading southeast.

The huge boat shadow cast a huge shadow on the sea under the midday sun.

The impeller under the sea creates waves under the water.

Fang Jifan was already approaching quickly: “The war is about to begin. Your Majesty and the princes, please enter the cabin immediately.”

“Young Master Qi, are you kidding me?”

Then Liang Chu stepped forward quickly. Are you really going to fight?

Fang Jifan said sternly: “Not far ahead, there is my Ming Dynasty’s most trusted enemy. These people, just a few days ago, attacked our Dengzhou, killed our soldiers and civilians, and burned our water fortress. Now, they are openly trying to leave. , Now, we are very close to them. Your Majesty has issued an order to pursue them with all their strength and destroy all the pirate ships. Our successor has been ordered to do so. Is there any reason to avoid the battle? If we retreat today, all the maritime power of our Ming Dynasty will be lost to the pirates. Today, they will attack Dengzhou, and tomorrow they will attack Quanzhou. By then, all the states in the world will be under their guns. Now, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Why are you joking?”

Liang Chu was speechless.

Ma Wensheng was anxious: “To fight one against four, this is the behavior of a reckless man. A man should not be reckless when the opportunity arises. What’s more, His Majesty is still on the ship, and you will succeed… Your Majesty… If something goes wrong with Your Majesty, Can

you, Fang Jifan, bear the consequences?”

Fang Jifan stood up with his sword in his hand and shouted: “At this point, we, Fang Jifan, still have the courage to sacrifice our lives for the country at any time. Your Majesty will put the country and the country first, how can you back down?

” Everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said he was not afraid, but that was a lie.

The emperor, the high position and the great authority, all of these are within the power framework, but out of the sea, the original power framework has become meaningless, at least, the Franco people , I will definitely not care about you as emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that he was only one step away from death.

He felt a little scared in his heart. Subconsciously, Emperor Hongzhi pushed up the lenses of his glasses. He looked at Fang Jifan and many people.

Xiao Jing had already knelt down: “Your Majesty… you must put the country first.”

The ministers all prostrated themselves.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves: “We are here…”

After leaving these words, he turned back and walked towards the cabin, leaving Fang Jifan with his back, and then said: “The Duke of Qi acted at the opportunity, and I and the ministers are in danger. , I’ll let you down.”

“I obey the order!” Fang Jifan almost screamed, wishing he could yell at the officials, “Come on, I’m in charge now, who wants to go to the sea to feed the bastard?”

Fang Jifan looked back with his sword in hand and shouted: “Go at full speed!”

…

in the bottom cabin.

Like sardine cans, the densely packed sailors were fully armed, holding firecrackers and swords, nervously waiting in the dark cabin, holding their breath.

The military attache rushed in with the hilt of his sword, and shouted: “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Qi have a fate.” He took out the order: “When you encounter the Francois today, your life or death depends on it. Victory or defeat depends on one thought. You must fight to the death with all your strength. , As for the reward, His Highness and Duke Qi did not say anything, but I would like to inform you that Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are both on our ship. “

Silence.

In this gloomy cabin, there are indifferent faces.

There is no need to mention rewards.

Although everyone in the capital was shouting at Duke Qi to beat them up, these sailors were all elites drawn from various guards and trained day and night. Before they were recruited, they knew very well that if they followed the Duke of Qi, they would have meat to eat.

The military attache nodded and said, “Everyone, what do you have to say?”

“…”

Silence again.

You’ve already arrived, what else can you say?

Even so, it doesn’t make sense.

“Very good.” The military attache said, “Just wait for the order!”

In each cabin, countless officers and soldiers waited anxiously.

………

In the gun cabin, the artillerymen had conducted a final inspection of the artillery.

The three-story gun cabin, the left and right sides of the ship, are densely packed with gun ports, with a total of 136 guns. This number can be called an astronomical number.

The warriors had already brought in gunpowder and cannonballs.

There are various kinds of cannonballs, including ordinary solid iron balls, and sub-munitions specially designed to damage the hull, that is, two iron balls, one large and one small, connected together…

The baffles of the muzzles have been raised, and the gunners are pushing the cannons, heavy. The cannons followed the slide rails and the muzzles were exposed, and dense muzzles were exposed under the sides of the huge ship.

The gun cabins are connected by copper pipes, and there are special messengers who put their ears into the speakers connected to the copper pipes.

Along the copper pipe, sound can be transmitted. Once an order is given, all cabins in the ship can receive the order clearly and simultaneously.

………

In the silkworm cabin.

A group of ministers were lying on the sickbed ouch.

The situation is slightly better, but some people are still vomiting and almost vomiting out the gall.

One after another, some people shouted: “I can’t make it, I can’t make it…”

“Ouch, life is worse than death, my God…”

Li Dongyang wanted to die, really didn’t want to live anymore, and in his heart he scolded Fang Jifan like an ancestor. Eight generations.

Have you ever suffered such a crime yourself?

This Fang Jifan, fortunately he was usually nice to him, so he tricked me like this.

He couldn’t help it, and felt his stomach churn again.

He hesitated to get up.

There was a caregiver who wanted to help him.

Suddenly, a medical student hurried in and said sternly: “Everyone is ready, we are about to engage in battle. If you encounter Francois, irrelevant people, or ordinary illnesses, as long as you can’t die, you should be carried out of the jamroom immediately. Everyone Cleaning the surgical instruments and preparing to receive the wounded soldiers. “

Then… the battle…

The person lying on the hospital bed suddenly stopped oopsing.

Damn it…have you caught up?

Just now, Li Dongyang felt that his stomach was churning violently. Suddenly, the discomfort disappeared. He shuddered and stood up. Then his eyes widened and his pupils shrank. After silence, he roared: “Fang Jifan , I’m not done with you!”

…

Unfortunately, Fang Jifan never heard this.

He and Zhu Houzhao nervously held their binoculars to observe the enemy’s situation.

Standing in this bridge, this bridge is a building on the ship. It has three wooden sides with steel plates in the middle. One side has a huge floor-to-ceiling glass.

Standing here, you can have a clear view of the sea area ahead.

Through the telescope, Fran aircraft ships finally appeared in front of Fang Jifan one after another.

The long and narrow ship had swollen sails, and above the sails was a huge cross with red paint on a white background. The sails of the cross were inflated by the wind. It seemed that the Francois also discovered the situation here. They looked shocked. They never expected that there would be ships faster than them.

Aboard the King Carlos I.

Count Angel Lopez de Cabo was looking through the telescope at this moment.

Originally…everything went according to plan.

As the mastermind this time, Angel made his own suggestions to the king.

As the threat of the Ming Dynasty in the Golden Continent increases, in order to protect the interests of the East and the Golden Continent, the Kingdom of Spain must curb the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Angel realized that the weakness of the Ming Dynasty’s ships was that their ships were still in the large stage. He believed that as long as the ships were big enough, they could win with their huge hulls and a large number of sailors.

So, he formulated two perfect plans, one was to attack Xinjin, and the other was to attack the coast of Ming Dynasty. Only by making Ming Dynasty realize that the Spanish fleet can attack any coast of Ming Dynasty at any time can Ming Dynasty’s expansion strategy be implemented. , turned into nothing.

He volunteered to come here.

And everything… was perfect, and things developed just as I imagined, extremely smoothly.

The only thing… that made him feel incredible was…

a huge ship appeared in his monocular.

It’s the same old pattern of the Ming Dynasty ships again, they are still mainly large.

It’s just… Angel… now… it’s too late to be disdainful, because… he found that the opponent was getting closer and closer to his fleet. This huge ship had no sails, but it was sailing fast like a ghost. Angel’s heart skipped a beat. Is this… an illusion?
