Before going north, the beams on the masts removed by the sailors of the Marin fleet changed the horizontal sails to upper edge slant sails. Because, sailing north and south, there is no downwind, it is best to use the upper edge slant sail that can adapt to any wind direction.
However, it doesn't seem to be a smooth ride along the way. Therefore, the fleet did not travel hundreds of kilometers per day. The journey of more than 1,600 kilometers took more than two decades. However, this is about the same as horseback riding speed. Moreover, horse riding cannot carry cargo, and the fleet can carry a large amount of cargo, which has a huge advantage.
After arriving at Dagukou, Marin found that the Dagukou dock was full of Ming troops armed with knives and guns ...
Seeing this battle, Marin was shocked-what could have happened?
In fact, there was nothing wrong, that is, Liu Jin was afraid of the accident and transferred most of the soldiers and horses of Tianjin Guardian to Dagu to prevent the accident. After all, Marin said that he brought a fleet with more people. Liu Jin worried that these barbarians of Malin would take the opportunity to rob Tianjin Wei, so most of the Tianjin Wei people were sent to monitor Malin.
And on the shore, Tianjin Guardian Commander Tong Zhi (Deputy Officer of the Institute of Health) He Zhenwu was scared and sweating. Why? Because Marin ’s fleet is so scary ...
10 500-ton warships, in the eyes of He Zhenwu who had never seen a big ship, that was a proper super fleet. This scale is enough to attack Tianjin Guardian.
Therefore, when Marin's fleet tried to dock, He Zhenwu made people warn, forbidding Marin's fleet from approaching ...
Marin is unknown, so he had to stop the fleet, and then sent Kongtai to board the boat to negotiate with the other party ...
"General He, I don't know why we didn't allow our fleet to dock?" After seeing He Zhenwu, Kong Tai asked suspiciously.
"Why don't you let you go to the beach? Huh, messenger Kong, do you have a lot of people? If you rush you to the beach, how would you attack Tianjin Wei?" After all, He Zhenwu was afraid. After all, the number of people he brought was only 3,000. He was still a long time squadron guard, and he really didn't have the confidence to guard the Tianjin guard. If it's okay to guard the Tianjin Acropolis, after all, there is a city wall as a support. But if you are at the port ...
Kong Tai immediately understood the meaning of the other party. After all, the other party was worried ...
So, Kong Tai explained:
"General He, in this tribute, our landlord of the Beihai Kingdom personally came. The landlord ’s identity is distinguished, and security is not tolerated. Therefore, we have brought thousands of imperial guards with me. I think, if His Majesty the Emperor Daming went out to guard There are more than tens of thousands? It is the princes, many of them have two or three guards. It is said that there are at least three thousand soldiers in one guard. How can my lord be the leader of a country, is it not illegal to bring a thousand guards? "
He Zhenwu pointed to the artillery on the fleet deck and asked:
"Since it's a tribute, why are there so many guns on board? Do you conspire to Tianjin Wei?"
Kong Tai is a little dumb-Isn't Nima finding fault? An artillery on board, is that European practice, okay? But he still had to explain patiently:
"General He didn't know that pirates at sea are rampant. How can the owner of the country travel? This artillery is designed to fight against pirates. Otherwise, if the owner's fleet is attacked by pirates, for our country, That's how the sky cracks! "
He Zhenwu listened and agreed with Kong Tai. After all, Marin is also the head of a country. Although, in the eyes of the Daming people, Marin is only the owner of a small country, but the owner is the owner, and it is normal to be cautious.
However, He Zhenwu was very cautious, and he still refused to let everyone go ashore. He was only willing to let Marin's ship dock first, and let Marin take only 100 people to land. As for other ships, they are not docked for the time being.
Doing this is actually because He Zhenwu was afraid that the other party would suddenly be in trouble after landing on the shore together. He Weiwu knew very well what the guardian of Tianjin Guardian was. These guards are good enough to bully the farmer or the rogue hooligan, and they can't beat the elite enemies. Unless, it is the battle of the city that has the power to fight.
Therefore, he asked Marin to land with a hundred guards first. In this way, even if one hundred people are in trouble, he has three thousand people, and he will not be able to cope with it.
……
Kong Tai returned to the ship and told Marin. Marin's men were quite worried about He Zhenwu's request, worrying that Marin would be detained by the other party.
But Marin is not worried because he knows that the Ming court loves face and will not do the lack of virtue of detaining foreign monarchs at will. Moreover, with the two or three thousand guards of the Tianjin Guard on the shore, Marin really did not pay attention to it. Even if the other party is in trouble, he takes a hundred soldiers, enough to cope with. You know, Marin ’s one hundred guards are all carefully selected, everyone can wear a full set of plate armor for a long time, and the martial arts are good. What's more, there is a humanoid monster Kahn beside Marin, there is no need to worry about the guards of the Ming Dynasty ...
In this way, Marin's face calmly landed on the beach with a hundred of his own soldiers, and also attracted more than 100 tall horses from Europe.
……
Originally, Marin wanted his soldiers to wear fake iron armor cut out of white iron to gain momentum. However, in the end, Marin gave up this idea of saobao ~ www.novelhall.com ~ why? Marin came to the Ming Dynasty for trade this time, not for display. Therefore, the fake plate armor used for the dazzling white iron ceremonies cannot be worn. Otherwise, the people of the Ming dynasty thought that Beihai was rich. Although this is the case, Marin does not want to be treated as Kaizi.
Therefore, Marin thought again and again, and let his guards wear the red lobster soldier uniform made of woolen cloth and a triangular cap as a dress.
One hundred guards landed and immediately formed a neat queue under the command of Kahn, and then waited silently for orders ...
He Zhenwu saw this scene, his heart tightened violently-this is absolutely elite ...
What is elite? Elite soldiers are not only physically strong, but also disciplined. The martial arts of these people, He Zhenwu, did not know, but just by looking at them as tall individuals with their arms bulged, they knew that their combat effectiveness was not bad. At least, it's stronger than the guards under his staff.
Moreover, when he lined up just now, He Zhenwu discovered that these Fanbang soldiers did not ask the chief to cry, completely consciously standing up to their position at that station, quickly and neatly ...
If you change to the guard of the Tianjin Guardian, it is estimated that even if the officer yells, it will take a while to line up the team, and it is definitely not so neat.
Therefore, this hand of the Beihai Imperial Guard greatly shocked He Zhenwu and filled his heart with fear.
"Never let them land a thousand soldiers! At least, they cannot be landed with weapons!" This is the strongest thought in He Zhenwu's mind at this time ...
