It is said to be a strait, but it is actually very wide in people's sight
But in fine weather, people with good eyesight can also see the shore.
Once out of the Strait, the four fields are vast, and the heart is wide, but at the same time, a little confusion that can't see the land will arise spontaneously.
Man is a land animal, and his fear of the sea is natural.
It was not until man learned to build ships that he began to have close contact with the sea. But even now, going to sea is still a matter of praying for the blessing of the gods, Buddhas and ancestors before going out.
"Little Marquis, it has nothing to do with Daming when you get out of here."
Liu Pu was not in any mood. After a crew member who wanted to flatter him said this, he subconsciously looked at Fang Xing.
But Fang woke up without worrying about this.
"Uncle, there's a boat!"
A warship suddenly appeared in sight and the lookout post shouted, "it's our ship!"
Fang Xing looked at the front coldly, "go to meet!"
He didn't know whether Lin Zheng's fleet would meet the kind of fleet Hong Bao said.
A fleet spread over the sea.
Ants kill elephants!
The Clippers came over and came back together.
On the side, Hong Bao went to hear the news himself.
"Father in law, Lord Lin found the enemy's trace."
……
On the fifth day, when the two fleets met, the atmosphere was ignited by the two broken ships behind the fleet.
Lin Zheng climbed up, knelt on one knee and pleaded: "uncle, I'm rash to pursue you. Please punish uncle."
Fang Xing personally went to help him and said happily, "it's impossible to make all the decisions before the war. It's impossible to ask for instructions in advance. Why are you guilty?"
Then the basket lifted up a prisoner, the commander of the small boat team.
He limped and opened his mouth. Seeing that no one could understand, he couldn't help laughing.
"Xing Hebo, does he think torture is useless?"
Wang Heyin said, "it seems that it's time for them to come forward!"
Fang woke up and nodded. Then someone went and brought the interpreter.
Daming is also cultivating his own interpretation, but there is not enough time, and the trained translation of texi is still half done.
So this is not only the interpreter of Daming, but also the interpreter brought by the tessi mission.
The interpreter turned pale when he saw the officer.
After seeing the two broken ships, it was obvious that the attacked warships could be seen, and the interpreter was even more impersonal.
He was worried that Ming people would turn over, and then took the delegation back and imprisoned them in Peiping for a long time.
"How did you get here? Did you find a route?"
The familiar language stunned the officer. The interpreter smiled bitterly and said, "I'm from the mission."
The officer was stunned and said, "the mission is on the ship?"
"That's right."
The mission full of peace and friendship was on board, and the defeated officers were also on board.
Is it war or peace?
If we say the most absurd profession in the world, it is probably a diplomat.
He said peace in his mouth, but he was sharpening his knife at home. He even started, smiling with an olive branch.
The officer said dejectedly, "there's no need to hide it."
The interpreter smiled bitterly and said, "yes, they should go to our side. Look at their huge fleet. This is not a journey of peace, but you have added brilliance and dangerous brilliance to this journey."
Ming people's posture was to demonstrate, and they met the Taixi warship on the way. What a coincidence!
"Question!"
Liu Pu came over with a wooden stick. He was dark and lost at least seven or eight kilograms.
If he returned to the capital like this, nine out of ten the acquaintances would not recognize him.
He beat his palm with a thin wooden stick and looked around the officer. It was clear that he was looking for a place to start.
The officer looked at Fang Xing and others and said, "tell them I will abide by the honor of the Kingdom..."
"Are you sure you can carry it?" asked the interpreter kindly
The officer said firmly, "yes, that's one of the reasons why I was chosen to explore the way."
"Well, I... Will pray for you."
In fact, the safest thing for the whole mission is interpretation. He thinks that even if Ming people kill the mission, they will keep them. Prepare for future communication.
So the interpreter walked over respectfully and said, "dear count, the officer hopes to get due respect."
When Fang woke up, Hong Bao and Fu Xian looked at each other and said, "what do you mean?"
Wang Hegan said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm not dreaming, or I'm scared crazy by our guns?"
Lin was on the edge and said, "gentlemen, this man is very tough."
"Tough?"
The fortitude on the officer's face at the moment, combined with Lin Zheng's words, makes people feel loyal
"Being tough comes at a price!"
Fang Xing smiled: "Liu Pu, do it!"
The officer looked at the talking Fang and woke up. Then he was black. Liu Pu rushed over and kicked him over. Then he waved his stick and beat him desperately.
The officer rolled and screamed on the deck. The people looked at him calmly. Hong Bao and Fu Xian even suggested that they set out immediately to find the main force of the enemy.
"... if we can't find the main force of the enemy and the sea is vast, they may raid at any time, and we can't stay in the Strait..."
"Yes! I've always felt that the Navy should be a sharp weapon for attack. Once it shrinks, it's a dog guarding the house. It's worthless all my life."
"Our family has gone to sea many times. We heard of Pirates before. The fleet will search immediately..."
The torture over there was still going on, and the officer had begun to speak.
The interpreter said awkwardly, "he said the big ship team was about half a month's voyage."
The officer began to swear to keep his dignity, but after being beaten, he confessed.
Ming people smiled one after another. The interpreter was more and more embarrassed. He hated in his heart: if you can't stand it, don't pretend to be a tough man! It's a big shame.
At the end of some questioning, Liu Pu was finally proud after many days of depression and said, "brother Dehua, I have some talent for torture. In the future, even if I don't hang out in the army, East Hall and royal guards can go."
Royal guards and east hall need talents from all aspects, and the ability of chicken singing and dog stealing is OK.
Therefore, their doors are open all year round and welcome "Junjie" from all parties to join.
Moreover, these two places are well paid and have a "distinguished status". Once they are admitted, they will really reap both power and money!
So those who feel that they have some special skills often go there. If they have the courage to squat in front of the two yamen, they will see those candidates who are either depressed or like.
The officer was puffed and groaned on the deck. Someone called the doctor to check. Fang Xing took the opportunity to say his attitude.
"Their navigation is not as good as ours, and Lin Zheng won the three ships at one fell swoop, so they can't know the situation of our army, so... Ben Bo looks forward to them staying there and moving forward, which would be better."
"Let's go!"
"We're going to meet the enemy!"
The flotilla cheered. The soldiers who had never met the enemy after going to sea finally had a goal.
Fang Xing called Liu Pu to the side and said, "if this person says anything about dignity, he must have a good face. And I ask you to beat him in public, rather than let the royal guards come up and punish him, that is to humiliate him and destroy his so-called dignity..."
Liu Pu's face was still excited. When he heard the speech, he was disappointed and said, "no wonder... But brother Dehua, how can you see his nature?"
Fang Xing said with a smile, "when you have dealt with more people and suffered many losses, you will have this ability. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to summarize these personnel."
