The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 418: Xu Da defeats Wang Baobao again. Mr. Ye can’t write poems. The title of Marquis is not my wish. I hope the sea will be peaceful!

A total of one hundred and sixty ships were anchored on the coastline of Ryukyu's main island on a sunny day.

According to the battle plan they made when they set out, Wang Baobao led eighty blue fleets to help the Japanese Northern Dynasties and attack the Japanese Southern Dynasties.

Xu Da led eighty Red Army fleets to help the Japanese Southern Dynasties and attack the Japanese Northern Dynasties.

As for the coalition commander ship that Ye Qing was on, it was actually a giant warship called a 'three-masted gunboat' that belonged to the Blue Army.

He is free to follow any fleet to observe and command the battle.

On the handsome ship, Xu Da, who was wearing a red cloth armor, arrived early and was located at the command booth at the highest point of the deck.

He held down the hilt of his saber with his right hand, raised his left hand high and said: "The whole army weighs anchor!"

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear my commander's order?"

In Xu Da's eyes, the flag soldiers wearing blue cloth armor all around looked at him blankly, but they did not follow his orders anyway.

At this moment, Wang Baobao, who was wearing a blue cloth face armor, ran towards this side with his helmet in his arms.

While running, he cursed: "Xuda, what's the matter with you?"

"You are now 'Xu Daniu', the head coach of the Red Army. It is not yet time for you guys to set off to help the Southern Dynasty fight against the Northern Dynasty. Now I am leading them to help the Northern Dynasty fight against the Southern Dynasty first."

"When the fighting breaks out on my side, you can lead your troops around and set off!"

"You just decided on something last night and you forgot about it today?"

"You're used to being a marshal, aren't you?"

"Are you even rushing to eat this bowl of rice?"

Xu Da looked at the difference in color of the armor on both sides and looked at the flag soldiers who ignored him. Then he slapped his forehead and walked down from the command booth with great reluctance.

Xu Da hurriedly pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, I'm really used to it."

Wang Baobao scolded him while putting on his helmet: "You old guy, you did it on purpose."

"I said you didn't finish your meal, and then you suddenly said you had diarrhea and had to go to the toilet. So that's what happened!"

"Also, in the middle of the night last night, a snitch used a hook to hook my Blue Army General's armor. Fortunately, I didn't sleep to death, otherwise I would have lost my armor!"

"I also said how come that man is so good at my hands, I can't even catch him!"

"Now that the case has been solved, you are the thief who wants to steal my Blue Army general's armor, leave early, and steal my position as commander!"

"Okay!"

"You want to take command over there until it's almost done, and then sneak back and lead your Red Army out, leaving me completely idle?"

"Xuda, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"."

Wang Baobao's endless condemnation of Xu Dana is still being output.

And at this moment,
Father and son Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were originally in the hall, saw that they hadn't seen the movement of the anchor yet, so they wanted to come to the deck to see what Wang Baobao was up to.

Looking at the scene in front of them, they immediately 'solved the case'!

Their original strategy was to lead the blue army first, follow the northeast wind, and go directly to Nara Port, where the Japanese Navy was stationed in the Southern Dynasty, and launch a war first in the name of the "Northern Dynasty Foreign Aid Navy".

As long as the Battle of Nara begins, the North Korean side of Heian Kyo will get the news quickly.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will immediately know that it is his Ye Qing's army who is coming, and then he will take the opportunity to launch a war on land and storm Nara Prefecture.

By then, the capital of the Southern Dynasties will be trapped in a situation where the north and south are attacked by land and sea!
At that time, Xu Da led the Red Army fleet again, in the name of the "South Korea Foreign Aid Navy", bypassed Kagoshima and attacked Kyoto Port from the north, where the northern and southern Japanese navies were stationed.

In this way, the entire war situation will be formed, where the Japanese and Southern Dynasties will beat themselves on land and be beaten by them at sea at the same time.

Such a situation does not take long at all. As long as it lasts for a few days, the overall military strength of the Japanese country can basically be reduced to zero.

After all, it’s such a big place and so much total military power!
Now it seems that Xu Da wants to be the marshal of the Blue Army first, and then the marshal of the Red Army, and directly steals Wang Baobao's job.

In fact, they are all marshals who fight big battles, and they are all wealthy owners of their families.

Xu Da needless to say, even Wang Baobao's son is also a "Honggu City chieftain" and a commanding officer.

It is not an exaggeration to say that his son is a city lord!
They didn't care about the small amount of wages Ye Qing gave them, nor did they care about the Japanese princess and other rewards that they promised to give as a gift afterwards. What they cared about was three words, 'enjoyment'!
For them, a war of this scale has no other meaning than to let them have fun.

Obviously, Xu Da wanted Wang Baobao to come, and he had satisfied his addiction to the marshal all at once.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son looked at Xu Da who just lowered his head and was being scolded, and two words "shameful" immediately appeared in their hearts.

There is no shame in being a thief!
What a shame when a thief is caught!

Finally, Wang Baobao was so out of breath with his denunciation.

Xu Da then patted Wang Baobao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I did it for your own good. I helped you handle the matter. You should still get the bonus that Brother Ye gave you."

"What is the most comfortable thing in life?"

“Of course it’s most comfortable to get something for nothing!”

"Being a brother allows you to get something for nothing. You don't thank me, and you still scold me for being so old?"

"Doesn't your conscience ache?"

When Xu Da said this, he really spoke earnestly and poked Wang Baobao's left chest.

Wang Baobao lifted his hand and said, "Thank you so much for your eight generations of ancestors. I'll just wait and see."

"wrong!"

"I ask you to get off the ship and leave our Blue Army fleet!"

Xu Da sighed helplessly when he saw that Wang Baobao was still hostile to him and kept waving orders to expel guests.

But he really didn’t want to get off the boat!
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang and his son who had arrived at the edge.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son now have to be controlled by others on this ship, and there is no way to let him stay on the ship.

The only one who has this ability is Ye Qing, the boss of the two fleets!

He walked up to Ye Qing and pulled Ye Qing to the side.

Xu Da said with "affectionate" eyes: "Brother Ye, since the last time I fought Wang Baobao, I haven't fought in three years."

"It's not three days, it's three years!"

As he spoke, he covered his waist pitifully and said, "Brother Xu has an old injury, and now it is like a candle in the wind, and it will be exhausted at any time."

"You don't want your brother Xu to leave any regrets!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang and his son looked at Xu Da, who acted directly, they also had a sentence in their minds at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: "This guy is even more shameless than me!"

Zhu Di thought to himself: "Uncle Xu was upright and impeccable in the court. How come he is more shameless than my father here?"

At this very moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the strange look in his son's eyes.

His busy eyes trembled slightly, and he said viciously and seriously: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhu Di just smiled lightly and said: "No, Dad, you are overthinking. I am looking at the sea."

"What were we thinking about?"

Zhu Di asked: "No, how do I know what you are thinking?"

"."

Just when Zhu Di was being targeted by Zhu Yuanzhang, Ye Qing's voice came from opposite them. Ye Qing rolled his eyes at Xu Da and said, "If you don't die so quickly, you can still hold on until you return in triumph."

In fact, Ye Qing could understand Xu Da's mood very well.

After all, he is such a experienced person!

No one wants to go to war, because fighting means there will be no peace and it means that his fellow brothers will die in battle.

No matter how powerful I am, I can't make the entire army return without death.

But as a person who has been a soldier all his life, he also longs for the battlefield from the bottom of his heart, and longs for the undying 'romance' of a hot-blooded man!
Just when Ye Qing was sighing like this, Xu Da was immediately unhappy.

But there was nothing he could do about Brother Ye, who didn't take the emperor seriously.

All he can do now is 'cheat'!

And Wang Baobao, who was standing on the command booth, couldn't bear to watch this scene.

Wang Baobao walked up to Ye Qing, glared at Xu Da and said, "Don't wait any longer, get off now!"

Xu Da hugged the fence and said: "I don't. I am more capable than you. I should be the coach of both the red and blue armies, and you should be the deputy commander."

"You, you, aren't you cheating?"

"What you say doesn't mean what you say, right?"

"It's not like I haven't defeated you before, so you must be more capable than me?"

"Gamble if you can!"

Xu Da's eyes immediately lit up and he said: "Bet, just bet, who is afraid of whom?"

"Tell yourself, what kind of gambling method is this?"

Wang Baobao snorted coldly and said: "Don't get off the ship, just set off with us, but you can only watch me direct the battle, or you can be a general, but in the end I have the final say on how to fight!"

"The fight is almost over, I'll come back with you, and I'll follow your Red Army into battle!"

"When the time comes, I will also treat you as a general. I will watch you lead the battle. We will compete with each other to see who has the greater victory. Do you dare to bet?"

Xu Da smiled and said, "What's the bet?"

Wang Baobao looked directly at Ye Qing, and then gave Xu Da a look that only the two of them could understand because of their tacit understanding.

Xu Da smiled again: "Okay, deal!"

Ye Qing just crossed his arms and watched the two of them making a bet with each other.

Although he didn't understand what the bet between the two had to do with him, he was sure that the bet between the two had something to do with him.

Ye Qing warned seriously: "It's a bet, but don't bring me in."

The two just smiled tacitly again and promised not to bring him in.

In fact, Ye Qing is the bet of the two!
Their bet is that whoever loses will withdraw from the son-in-law battle, or whoever loses will have his daughter grow up.

Of course, it is their own business whether they admit it or not in the end.

After Ye Qing warned them, he started to think about business.

In his opinion, the method adopted by the two of them was pretty good.

In this way, they can all appear at the scene of the naval battle between the red and blue armies, and the control of the war will be more accurate.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

With that said, he was ready to go back to the hall to rest.

But he had barely taken two steps when he reminded Blues coach Wang Baobao: "Brother Wang, you lost again."

"Enlighten yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he called his exclusive general, Mr. Guo, and his apprentice Guo Silang to follow him back to the hall.

At this moment, a cool sea breeze blew over Wang Baobao's head, and he suddenly understood.

"Good on you Xu Da!"

"I fell into your trap, so you're just waiting for me to propose a bet so that you can stay, right?"

Xu Da just smiled calmly and said: "I told you, you are no match for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Da put his hands behind his back and followed him into the hall in a swaggering manner.

Wang Baobao looked at the swaggering back, and the hand holding the handle of the knife pulled out a small amount of the knife.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth should be trembling slightly, very much like the wolf king who is about to attack, and also like the old man who is about to be angry.

"Whee!"

At this very moment,
A sound of snickering suddenly reached Wang Baobao's ears.

Wang Baobao looked at the slightly trembling backs of the four flag soldiers who were already standing in four directions, ready to issue orders.

He knew they were laughing there.

He really wanted to teach these messengers a lesson, but after teaching them a lesson, he lost face.

Wang Baobao stood in the command booth, holding the column head with one hand and stroking his chest with the other hand, so as not to get mad before he gave the order.

Finally, he gritted his molar teeth and said, "Pass this commander's military order!"

"Blue fleet, raise anchor and sail, set off!"

"In addition, in the name of Xu Shuai, I issued an order to the Red Army fleet and told them not to bully the local people."

"If there is any disobedience, I will kill you without mercy!"

In this way, the Red Army fleet continued to stay motionless, and the Blue Army fleet all weighed anchor and turned the ship's bow towards the direction of Nara Port, and finally raised its sails.

And at this moment,
Zhu Di, who was in the hall, looked at the scene outside the window and told Ye Qing and others about the current fleet situation.

Ye Qing looked at the huge combat sand table in front of him, looked at the four Japanese islands on the blue sea, looked at the many gold and silver mine locations marked in advance, looked at the markings of Nara and Heian Kyo that marked the capitals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and looked at The fleet model is still placed on the waters off the main island of Ryukyu.

He just said seriously to Zhu Di: "Why are you still standing there?"

"You still don't place combat models in real time according to the orders of the combat marshal?"

"A good marshal must start by operating soldiers on the sand table!"

Zhu Di didn't say anything, and immediately followed Wang Baobao's military order, turning the Blue Army fleet model around and aiming in the direction of Nara Port.

Moreover, a black arrow marking the navigation route was placed in front of the ship's bow, pointing in the direction of Nara Port.

Ye Qing followed the arrow and looked towards the land of Japanese slaves, and immediately remembered a poem.

He cannot compose poetry, but he likes to use other people's poems to express his current emotions.

"Xiao Zhu rests peacefully for now, worrying about the old alliance."

"Come and greet the guests with wine bottles, wave your bows and sit down to talk about war."

"The clouds protect toothpicks, and the stars contain swords."

"The title of Marquis is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful!"

In everyone's eyes, Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment, and his gaze was so sharp that it was like enemies meeting each other.

And his tone was extremely cold, as if a great revenge was about to be avenged!
