I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 484 I, Daming, Are Really Invincible!

Soon, through the binoculars in his hand, Gu Yan saw the flags waving on the masts of the five unidentified warships opposite.

It's a pity that the semaphore of the two sides is not the same. Even though Gu Yan observed it for a long time, he still didn't understand what the other side wanted to express.

Out of caution, Gu Yan put down the binoculars in his hand and gave an order: "Pass on my order, load the shells, aim at the enemy ships, and get ready for battle!"

After Gu Yan's order was issued, soldiers quickly climbed onto the mast, waved the flags in their hands, and passed the news to the rest of the ships.

Soon, the order from Gu Yan's flagship was received by the rest of the ships.

"Quick, quick, load the shells! Load the shells!"

"Target the enemy ship!"

At this moment, after hearing the order from their superiors, the gunners in the cabin immediately loaded large solid lead bullets into the cannon with extra force, and then adjusted the aiming position of the cannon based on their own experience. .

"The shells are loaded and ready to fire!"

"Aiming is complete, ready to launch at any time!"

Soon, Gu Yan received a report from his subordinates: "My lord, everything is ready and we can go to war anytime!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Gu Yan was also relieved, and immediately responded: "Well, I know, if the warship on the opposite side moves slightly later, it will be sunk directly!"

Hearing the words, the subordinate immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

On the other side, at this moment, I saw Niels Rosen, with a gloomy face, putting down the binoculars in his hand.

What he didn't expect was that the commander of the fleet on the opposite side ignored his own semaphore. Not only that, the cannons on the thirteen warships had already aimed at five of his own warships.

Right now, the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing. Under this distance, the opponent doesn't even need to consider the issue of accuracy.

Just relying on those super-large-caliber cannons, after a round of salvo, all five warships on your side will be sunk. The installed bumper is not vegetarian either!
For Niels, he was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, his own strength was far inferior to that of the opponent, and he could only let it be slaughtered. On the other hand, the glory of the Armada prevented him from just bowing his head.

Just when he was about to order to load the shells and fight to the death with the opponent, he saw the previous first officer named Danny came to Niels and put forward such an idea: "Boss, I suddenly thought of One thing is that we seem to be using the common semaphore of our side just now!"

After being reminded by Danny, Niels also quickly realized his mistake: "I subconsciously regarded the opposite fleet as a warship from Europe, so I used the The semaphore over there in Europe."

"No wonder the opponent didn't respond at all after seeing his semaphore, but instead set up a cannon and aimed at his own fleet!"

After Niels thought about all this, he immediately looked at the first mate named Danny excitedly, and said excitedly: "God bless, Danny, you really helped me a lot!"

After that, Niels gave Danny an order: "Go look for those sailors immediately, and see if there are any sailors who know the semaphore here!"

"Okay, boss!"

After dropping these words, the first officer named Danny turned and left.

Just when Nils was in a state of anxiety, Danny came to him with a timid sailor: "Boss, I found someone. His name is Fons. He used to come here with a trading fleet. And learned some semaphores here."

When Nils heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately hugged the sailor named Fons excitedly: "God bless, Fons, you are our savior now, and all our lives will be saved." It was saved by you!"

After finishing speaking, Nils pointed to the mast on the ship and said loudly.

"Go, lad!"

After that, facing everyone's expectant eyes, Feng Si climbed onto the mast and kept waving the flag in his hand.

On the other side, Gu Yan also saw the other party's waving flag, but this time, he understood it, and the other side was saying that they were just passing by and there was no hostility!

Seeing this situation, Gu Yan immediately put down the binoculars and instructed his subordinates beside him.

"Tell the ships on the opposite side to stop approaching us and get out of the way, otherwise, we will fire!"

The subordinates on the side heard the words, and immediately responded respectfully.

"Yes, my lord!"

Soon, the order from Gu Yan was passed on to the soldier on the mast who was in charge of waving the flag.

After that, I saw the soldier waving the flag in his hand vigorously, intending to send a message to the five warships on the opposite side.

"What does opposite mean?"

At this moment, looking at the constantly waving flag on the opposite side, Nils couldn't help turning his gaze to Feng Si on the mast, and asked.

Feng Si didn't respond immediately, but recalled the meaning of those flags in his mind, and replied after a long time.

"Boss, the other party seems to want us to stay away from them, otherwise, they will fire!"

When Nils heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he kicked an empty wooden barrel away in front of him with extra force, and said angrily.

"This group of damned heretics on the opposite side, I will send them to the Inquisition for purification sooner or later, damn it, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that, Niels, we represent the Armada..."

Seeing that Niels's anger was almost vented, the first mate named Danny stepped forward and warned: "Boss, we are not the opponents of the group of heretics opposite, we should follow their requirements, otherwise ,By the time……"

Before Danny could finish speaking, he was interrupted coldly by Niels: "Here I am the captain, I am the commander of the fleet, and you, the chief mate, have nothing to say!"

"Pass down the order and follow those heretics!"

Soon, Nils' order was conveyed, and the five ships also stopped approaching and moved out of their way according to the Ming army's request.

The scene in front of him was naturally noticed by Gu Yan. Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Gu Yan put down the binoculars and said with emotion.

"It seems that what His Majesty said earlier is correct, the truth is always only within the range of the cannon!"

Seeing this, the subordinates at the side quickly responded with words: "Your Excellency is right, the mere barbarians are not subdued under our power, my Ming is truly invincible!"

Gu Yan didn't comment on the subordinate's words, and immediately saw a look of regret on his face: "Oh, what a pity."

Hearing the words, the subordinates at the side turned their gazes to Gu Yan, and asked curiously, "My lord, are you..."

Hearing this, Gu Yan turned his eyes to the subordinate, sighed helplessly, and then said, "Originally, I planned to take the group of Raksha people opposite to try the new cannon on the ship. What kind of power is it!"

"Since they are so sensible, let's spare their lives for now!"

"Pass on the officer's order, all ships sail according to the established route!"

After Gu Yan's voice fell, the subordinate beside him immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

Soon, the fleet composed of thirteen treasure ships swaggered towards the distance along the gap made by the fleet led by Niels.

"You bloody heretics, I, Nils Rosen, swear in the name of the Armada that one day, I will make you pay for today's barbaric actions!"

Niels looked at the Ming Fleet that was gradually going away, put down the binoculars in his hand, and gritted his teeth.

……

At the same time, Xu Jie's mansion in the capital.

At this moment, Xu Jie was sitting on the table in the hall, looking sluggish.

Ever since he received Tan Lun's reply and learned that the shadow of the emperor was behind the whole incident, he fell into a state of constant panic.

"Damn it, why did I send someone to investigate this matter? I just have to pretend I don't know anything about it, isn't it good?"

"It's good now, it just arouses His Majesty's suspicion!"

Thinking so, Xu Jie looked at the delicious delicacies on the table, and didn't have the slightest desire to move his chopsticks.

Just when Xu Jie was regretting this matter, the housekeeper came in with even worse news: "Master, many unknown people suddenly appeared near our house!"

When Xu Jie heard this, his face was full of surprise, and he immediately got up from his seat and asked, "What did you say!"

After that, I saw Xu Jie slumped back to his chair, muttering to himself: "It seems that my previous guess is indeed correct. Your Majesty is already planning how to deal with me!"

"Xu Jie, Xu Jie, why do you want to investigate this matter? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Seeing this situation, the housekeeper couldn't help but panicked, looked at Xu Jie with pleading eyes, and asked, "Then...then, master, what should we do next?"

When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately reacted, and said in a deep voice: "Now, go and tell those people in the mansion immediately, be careful in everything, and try not to go out if it is not necessary!"

Hearing the words, the butler immediately responded in a deep voice: "Yes, master!"

Just when the butler was about to leave, Xu Jie stopped him: "By the way, how are you doing what I ordered you earlier?"

Hearing this, the butler suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around immediately, and said respectfully, "Master, everything is almost done, it's just..."

When the housekeeper said this, his face showed embarrassment.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie glanced at the butler coldly, and asked impatiently.

"Just what?"

Seeing this situation, the butler didn't dare to hide any more, so he could only tell the whole situation.

"Although most of the officials on the list have kept their mouths shut, there are still a small number of officials who are unwilling to give up. They..."

Before the butler finished speaking, Xu Jie interrupted him coldly.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, those people are left to me to deal with, you go and do your work!"

When the butler heard this, a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly responded: "Yes, master!"

After the housekeeper left, Xu Jie's mood became even worse, and he waved his sleeve suddenly, saying in a deep voice.

"Damn it, don't you dare to give Xu Jie face, and see how I deal with you!"

After that, I saw Xu Jie riding a sedan chair, heading towards the Forbidden City.

Xu Jie knew very well in his heart that his next performance would be related to his wealth and life. Immediately afterwards, he lifted the car curtain, looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, and said silently to himself.

"Don't blame me, Xu Jie, for being cruel. Who told you not to listen? You can stop what His Majesty believes."

……

As soon as Xu Jie got off the sedan chair, he bumped into Yan Song's sedan chair head-on. Seeing this, Xu Jie had to stop and wait on the spot.

"I, Xu Jie, have been really unlucky recently. Not to mention that everything is not going my way, I have clearly missed the time, but I still met this old guy Yan Song!"

Xu Jie thought so, but his face was full of gentle smiles. Seeing that Yan Song got off the sedan chair with the support of the bearer, he quickly went up to greet him and said respectfully.

"I've seen Mr. Yan Ge!"

When Yan Song heard this, he turned around immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face at the right time, and he opened his mouth immediately.

"Oh, it's Mr. Xu Ge!"

After that, the two walked side by side, chatting while walking towards the direction of the cabinet.

During the conversation between the two parties, Yan Song keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie would chat with him on weekdays, it would definitely not be so frequent!

It was like a routine between the two parties, complaining about the weather, and then chatting about the recent major events in the court, it was over, but today Xu Jie was so keen on small talk that he reached the point of eloquence.

Combined with what happened now, Yan Song couldn't help but have such a guess in his heart: "Could it be that Xu Jie wants something from me?"

Thinking of this, an imperceptible light suddenly appeared in Yan Song's eyes, and after he glanced at Xu Jie calmly, he said to himself: "Hmph, Xu Jie, you have today too!"

"If you want to ask me, Yan Song, to do something, you have to come up with enough bargaining chips!"

Next, the development of the matter did not exceed Yan Song's expectations. When the two were about to step up the steps, Xu Jie seemed to have made up his mind and called Yan Song to stop.

"Mr. Yan Ge, I don't know what you think of those officials who recently openly opposed the imperial court adding the subject of arithmetic to the imperial examinations in the coming year?"

When Yan Song heard the words, he immediately stopped, and after glancing at Xu Jie, he unhurriedly spit out two words: "Insects!"
