The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1366
[1366. Chapter 1298 There is no day like this]
“Sir Francisco, if we go further, we will arrive at Tianjin Guard.”
Wang Xizuo held a telescope and looked around. Sometimes he looked down at the chart, and sometimes he kept using a pencil. Write and draw on the map.
Sir Francisco cheered up, and the voyage of more than half a year finally paid off.
He glanced at Wang Xizuo appreciatively: “Very good. Once you succeed, you will become a hero. The king will receive you again and may even give you a knighthood. By then, you will become a regular visitor in the salon, where we can Let’s do some physical and mental treatment together.”
Wang Xizuo: “…”
Still there, he quickly calmed down: “Tianjin Wei has two ports suitable for landing, one is here, this is Dagokou, and this is Dagokou. Tanggu and Dagu are the mouths of the rivers and the land is flat, making it the most favorable landing point.”
Francisco Jueji nodded, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist and standing as straight as a javelin. : “Are you sure you don’t have enough navy here?”
“Most of their ships have gone to sea. The Ming Empire has never defended against enemies from the sea. For them, their real enemy is In the north.”
After hearing this, Francisco held his chin and nodded. Wang Xizuo’s words were consistent with the news brought back by many priests who sneaked into the Ming Empire.
“So, can we get here before dawn tomorrow, and then…”
Francisco clenched his fist, and then pretended to beat the enemy.
Wang Xizuo seemed hesitant: “Actually, I suggest attacking at noon.”
“Noon?” Francisco looked surprised.
Wang Xizuo said seriously: “The army in the East has the habit of keeping watch at night. They have troops on duty at night… Their night patrol system is very strict. This is because they do not have a special castle garrison to prevent night attacks, but A relatively simple city wall is adopted, and in many places there is no city wall at all, at least in the pass. But it is different at noon. At noon, the Han people have to rush for a lunch break. After lunch, this period of time is exactly their most important time. When they are weak, launching an attack at this time will definitely catch them off guard.”
Wang Xizuo’s answer made Francisco feel incredible.
At this time, he couldn’t help but begin to doubt Wang Xizuo’s integrity.
In this world, there has never been an army that attacked the enemy at noon in broad daylight.
This is an insult to Francisco’s intelligence.
Francisco frowned: “This is impossible, even if it is a nap, but… it is too conspicuous. Sir, I am skeptical of your words. I still think that attacking at dawn is the most correct thing.” It’s a choice.”
Wang Xizuo thought to himself, it was really dangerous. Death almost passed him by. He thought that he had gained complete trust, but he didn’t expect that he was still careless.
Attacking at noon…
this does feel a bit like fooling the fool.
But Wang Xizuo was also anxious.
After luring people here, if Tianjin Wei suffered any major losses, his house would be gone.
He didn’t want to go to any salon, not at all. He even began to hate his skin color and hate that he was a Franco.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xizuo said with a smile: “Sir, everything is as you wish. We will attack at dawn.”
Sir Francisco’s expression softened. He may not be really suspicious of Wang Xizuo, but he just felt that What Wang Xizuo said is nothing more than fantasy.
After an instant, a trace of greed flashed across his eyes. Here, there are countless people, countless treasures, and countless gold and silver.
If he conquers this place, then… he will become the richest person in the world.
Immediately afterwards, he began to urgently summon all the officers and issued orders to prepare for combat.
The sky gradually darkened.
Countless ships walked on the ocean like ghosts.
Wang Xizuo was hiding in the cabin, looking very anxious.
Did they…receive their letters?
If you don’t receive it, then… what will happen.
Even if they receive it, they cannot predict when the fleet will arrive. What if they ignore it?
When he thought of this… Wang Xizuo couldn’t help but rub his abdomen.
He is hungry.
No, he was not actually hungry, because for his dinner, he had already eaten three pieces of white bread, a piece of bacon, and a glass of wine, but… the glutton in his stomach still aroused, the closer he got to the Ming Dynasty. , he began to miss the taste of many foods more and more.
In Beijing, these were his happiest days.
There, he had no worries about food and clothing and received two salaries.
He bought a house.
Even…he even revealed to the media that he was married to a wife.
He has a daughter.
He learned Chinese and was able to read poems and songs.
Even…he loves to read the quest journals.
Searching for journals, he saw the heliocentric theory.
This was undoubtedly breaking news for him.
It turns out that the ground beneath his feet is a round ball.
It turns out that the earth revolves around the sun.
So… what a terrible thing this is.
If so, doesn’t it mean that God doesn’t exist at all?
This is a shake of faith.
But he saw with his own eyes people experimenting one by one.
The Ming Dynasty’s ships actually completed a week’s voyage around the earth.
This made him start to feel fascinated by searching for journals.
Even…he was interested in surgery.
In the past two or three years, he traveled from Daming to the West, and then to Franji, where he returned to his hometown.
But… the farther away he was, the more his heart ached.
This is a dark journey, as if I am walking in darkness and ignorance.
He was forced to attend various salons, eat unpalatable so-called “beautiful things” with them, and listen to some people singing hymns devoutly, but what he was thinking about was the beautiful beauty. , poems and songs that have no theological color and only express personal emotions.
Now… I’m back.
What kind of fate will he face?
…………
The ship…is rocking.
Under the ship, there were angry waves in the night.
The sky was pitch black, without stars or moon.
But after a while, suddenly, the sky suddenly opened like a line.
A ray of light burst out from the line and fell on the world.
Countless cheers came from outside the cabin.
Immediately afterwards, the excited Sir Francisco kicked open Wang Xizuo’s cabin door: “We have arrived. We have arrived at the location. There is a city and a port there.”
He said…
and gave the order.
“Children, attack, kill them, this place… belongs to you!”
…
Countless landing ships were lowered.
The sailors cheered and began to land in full gear.
Ship after ship, following the tide, washed up on the beach.
Their eyes are blood red, which is the look of YUWANG and greed intertwined.
They once followed the ship and conquered half of the world. Now, they came here with the ship to conquer the other side of this huge continent.
“Report, we have been discovered. They have a lighthouse and the Ming army on land is prepared.”
“What…” Sir Francisco trembled.
He saw the huge lighthouse at the port. The lighthouse was blazing with flames, illuminating half of the sky.
Then, he saw the land, as if there was a military camp there, and then they lit up balls of flames. God knows if they were bonfires or torches.
Francisco was extremely annoyed, but he gritted his teeth and said: “Attack, attack!”
The heroic Spanish army only attacked and did not retreat.
The most important thing is that everything comes.
“You are right, sir.” Sir Francisco patted Wang Xizuo on the shoulder: “We should choose to attack at noon, but it’s a pity that I didn’t take your advice into account. It’s a pity.”
Wang Xizuo mouthed The opening is bigger than an egg.
It seems…
it seems…
Tianjin Wei is indeed prepared.
He almost wanted to cry and shout long live.
However, he couldn’t help it, and he also looked regretful: “Sir, now, it’s too late to regret.”
Sir Francisco cheered up. He looked at the lighthouse in the distance, seeming to consider, when After Francisco the Conqueror occupied this place, he would bulldoze it and then erect a statue of himself here.
“Attack…” he roared.
Countless ships rushed to the coastline, and soldiers began to gather on the beach.
The well-trained Spanish soldiers are all elites. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have good qualities.
Their gunpowder had been stuffed into their muskets, the bullets had been loaded, and the match ropes had been stuffed into the gunpowder. They carried their bags on their backs, held their muskets in both hands, and had swords hanging on their waists, and quickly began to gather.
Sir Francisco also landed ashore with Wang Xizuo.
The flag of the King of Spain has been flown.
Each of them wore shiny iron armor and oval-shaped iron helmets on their heads.
Twelve hundred arquebusiers were in position.
Six hundred sword, shield, and spear soldiers were also in position.
More than two hundred soldiers, even using boats, unloaded dozens of artillery pieces. They panted and pulled the artillery pieces ashore.
Just ten years ago, the same Spanish infantry regiment of more than 6,000 people defeated the French army of nearly 20,000 people in Cerignola. Among them, there were seven More than a thousand famous Swiss mercenaries.
This battle was called the Battle of Cerignola. After this battle, Spain relied on its sophisticated matchlocks and excellent soldiers to dominate the French machine, and even forced the French to fight against the Habsburg dynasty. Choose to make peace with the pagan Ottomans.
And now, the same army has arrived here after more than half a year of sailing, and the battle has begun.
