Lin Zheng feels lucky.
He has been lucky since the battle of Yingzhou. When he was chosen to go across the distant sea, he was desperate and left a will.
After going through hardships, he finally completed the task successfully.
He felt that he would be knighted sooner or later, which was what xinghebo said.
——When the benefits of rubber and corn come out, it's probably time for you to be knighted.
But he was a little confused about the choice of golden foot.
Fang Xing said they would have many benefits in the future, but huangjinlu chose to live in seclusion without hesitation.
What is he afraid of?
If he had entered the officialdom at that time, he should have been better than Chen mo.
Why wouldn't he?
Lin Zheng doesn't understand. During his long voyage, he was deeply impressed by the decision of huangjinlu, which can be called the mainstay of the fleet.
He smiled and thought he was stunned.
He pounded the mast and was full of energy.
Yes, I can still fight at sea for 30 years!
Today's emperors have clear rewards and punishments. As long as they are not those with deep backgrounds, they are easy to be promoted.
Lin Zheng had no background, otherwise he would not have been sent to look for rubber seeds.
He looked ahead, the sea breeze blew on his chest, and he only felt the blood surging in his chest.
"I don't think the enemy is far away, sir."
The deputy general is looking ahead with a telescope. He also wants to take the opportunity to make meritorious service. When he has accumulated enough meritorious service, he can be promoted.
"My Lord, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for many years. Now is the day for our generation of martial arts to come out!"
The deputy general looked forward to saying, "if we can catch the trace of the Taixi fleet this time, sir, uncle will certainly make a contribution to us."
Lin Zheng raised his telescope and warned, "the more so, we should be more cautious. Don't be domineering, or we'll ask ourselves... What's that?"
The deputy general felt a chill in his heart. When he heard the speech, he searched through a telescope.
"Ship found..."
The lookout began to shout, "it's the tessi ship, it's the enemy!"
Lin Zheng ran to the front a few steps. Before he raised his telescope, the shrill cry of the lookout came again.
"More than ten ships, my Lord, more than ten ships! Five big and eight small."
The deputy general looked back at the five ships behind him and said excitedly, "Sir, let's fight?"
Lin Zheng nodded and said, "the number is equal. There must be speculation inside that the fleet they are exploring the way will not return. As soon as our six ships come out, they will have the answer. As for how they deal with it down..."
"Sir, what if they withdraw?"
"I'm not sure, but we only have six ships. What will they think?"
The enemy ship opposite had not found the Ming fleet at this time, but there was not much time left for Lin Zheng to make a decision.
If the fleet wants to evacuate, it will slow down after turning, and it will take time to adjust the sails, so
"Forward!"
Lin Zheng put down his telescope, straightened his back and said, "uncle is right behind with the main force. It's a half day's voyage, so we should make them feel that Daming has six ships here."
"It's the Ming army!"
Later, Lin Zheng's fleet was also found there.
"They have only six ships!"
Countless eyes focused on the commander. It was not glory, but pressure.
Fight or not?
If you don't fight, you can only run, or stop to explain.
But this is almost to admit defeat, and the Ming army will gain an inch if they don't do well. They are asked to go away and go back to Taixi.
What about playing?
If you fight, whether you win or lose, the consequences will be very serious.
If you win, will Ming people be crazy to send the main force from home to hunt them down?
The commander's eyes moved and said, "surround and don't let go of a ship."
As long as the Ming army can be hanged, he will have made great achievements in this war.
Disappeared!
"There are many storms at sea. How about a missing fleet?"
The commander smiled frivolously, and everyone around him laughed.
A ferocious smile.
The fleet immediately formed a hollow formation in the middle and spread its wings around.
"They're approaching! They didn't run away?!"
Some people were praising the courage of the Ming army, but the commander was staring at the three warships.
After the battle of the Daming Navy in tessi, Rhys himself was the most impressed.
The short contact war outside the port has spread all over the three countries.
——Vulnerable!
——Mysterious firearm!
——Arrogant posture!
Rumors are flying all over the sky. What they say most is that the warships of the Ming army will spit fire, and none of the ships encountered are spared.
These rumors will naturally be combed by interested people, but they are not profound face-to-face after all.
And the canary has suffered the same blow. They know what it is.
So the commander was watching the three warships carefully.
When the distance was closer, the three warships of the Ming army suddenly began to accelerate forward and gradually began to turn.
——Their firearms are densely arranged on the side. When they want to start a war, they will turn and aim at their enemies on the side.
At this moment, the commander remembered the party.
That was the statement made by the officer who had been hit by the fire of the Ming army. In his statement, he almost said that the Ming army's warship was a devil's heavy hammer, invincible.
And now the devil has come and the hammer has been held high.
Hide?
The commander's eyes grew red and crazy.
"For the kingdom!"
He was a canary, but the fleet was composed of ships from the three countries.
But this slogan still got everyone's approval.
"For the kingdom!"
Amid the shouts, the fleet approached quickly.
"Flank! Let's go flank and avoid their side!"
The three warships were turning slowly. Lin Zheng stood on the deck with a knife and stared at the seven enemy ships in front.
"Sir, they want to go to the flank!"
There was some tension in the deputy general's voice, but more excitement.
Lin Zheng didn't speak. His body turned to the enemy ship with the warship
Under the deck, the Gunners who had found the enemy's movement were shouting.
"Follow me! Follow me!"
The warship must follow the direction of the enemy ship and ensure that the side is facing the enemy ship.
One side is oblique insertion and the other side is turning.
This is a contest of time.
When the oblique enemy ships opened the angle and distance, the formation of the Ming army was in vain and had to be broken up and reorganized.
Lin Zheng was not flustered. He was calculating the position of each other, as well as the changes in angle and speed of both sides.
"Two rounds!"
The deputy general trembled in his heart and shouted happily, "two rounds!"
This means that Lin Zheng has made a judgment: the warship can make two rounds of attack before the enemy ship leaves.
"Two rounds!"
Under the deck, the officer was shouting: "two rounds of artillery! I want to leave half of their ships! Chain bullets! Half of the artillery for chain bullets!"
There are seven enemy ships in the front, and at least three must be left!
The warship was turning, and the Gunners under the deck were patient.
They think it's too slow. All they see is the enemy ship.
"Right..."
The officer of the artillery team was staring at the angle. He knelt on one knee, his head tilted, and gradually turned back
The burning smell of thick thread incense filled the relatively closed space, and everyone was staring at the opposite.
When the officer's face was facing the side, his right hand waved down.
"Ignition..."
Countless incense sticks start from the left to pestle the fire gate in order.
Mars ignites
"It's right!"
Lin Zheng's eyes fixed on the enemy ship in front, and then there was a roar and vibration under the deck.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The inclined fan of the black spot rushed out of the side. Lin was staring at the enemy ship and murmured, "I want to leave you..."
