The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 421 Mr. Ye becomes a gambler, Wang Baobao fights for hundreds of dollars, Zhu Yuanzhang sees death tactics!

"There is?"

"Aeronautical chart, get the air route chart!"

"."

On the deck of the "Centipede Ship", the leading ship of the Blue Army fleet, which is a large and fast-sailing battleship,
Several naval officers on duty took the route map and made final comparisons and confirmations.

After confirmation from the captain and general, they were sure that they had seen the destination of their trip, which was the Nara Military Port, the garrison port of the Japanese Navy in the Southern Dynasties.

The so-called Nara Military Port is a trapezoidal bay located in the coastal village of Nara Prefecture, south of Owasu Town.

The locals call it 'Owl Bay'!
The Nara Military Port is at the innermost part of the bay!

"Send a letter to the Chinese military commander ship,"

"Tell them that we are about to arrive at the Nara military port and ask for instructions from the combat marshal!"

The captain and general stood on the command booth and gave orders to the flag soldiers at the rear.

The semaphore soldiers immediately turned around and faced the ships behind them, waving familiar semaphores.

After a while, the commander's signal trooper received the information and passed the news to the command hall through the messenger trooper who traveled between the flag trooper and the command hall.

Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Zhu Di were all sitting on both sides of the sand table.

Yes,

Even Ye Qing, who owns the fleet, can only sit on the sidelines at this moment.

Therefore, when marching and fighting, military law is enforced. At this moment, Wang Baobao is the battle marshal of the Blue Army Fleet, and that is the unshakable military law.

And every order he issued next was a military order that even Ye Qing had to abide by.

In the eyes of the four of them, Wang Baobao was in a superior position. Looking at the landmark 'Ojiu Bay' on the sand table, he immediately ordered: "Pass this commander's military order."

"Ye Qing, Xu Da, Guo Rui, and Guo Silang will all be transferred to the Vice Admiral's ship."

Except for Ye Qing, it can be said that even the waiting messengers were confused.

They never expected that Wang Baobao's first military order would be to blow them all away?
"Here, what are you thinking?"

"We won't interrupt. We'll let you direct us and won't interfere with you. Is that useful?"

"."

Faced with the condemnation from everyone, Wang Baobao could only look at Ye Qing who was there without saying a word.

Ye Qing looked at Wang Baobao and immediately thought of the secret exchange between them.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing nodded and said: "Who dares to disobey the Marshal's military orders?"

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing was the first to walk out of the command hall.

But just when he walked to the door, he turned his back to Wang Baobao and said extremely coldly: "Marshal Wang, you came up with the tactics, and you are responsible for the soldiers."

"Be responsible for yourself and the Ming Dynasty to which you are loyal!"

"If you die here, I will sell your daughter when I go back!"

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Zhu Yuanzhang, his son and Xu Da looked at this scene and didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.

But Ye Qing had already left, so they had no choice but to follow him.

But Ye Qing's last words still left them with lingering fears.

Needless to say, Wang Baobao's ability in command and combat could easily turn him into a 'gambler' just based on Ye Qing's last words and Wang Baobao's desire to end things with Qian Yuan.

Their intuition told them that Wang Baobao's tactic was just gambling!
Either the outcome of the battle will be an unexpected victory, or it will be an unexpected defeat. There is no middle ground.

The key is that he, Ye Qing, also agreed with him, Wang Baobao, to do this!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang could only say to himself secretly: "Maybe the chance of winning the bet is greater than the chance of losing the bet!"

Xu Da looked at Wang Baobao, his eyes gradually deepening.

But as an opponent and colleague, he still chose to leave here silently.

This is his greatest support for Wang Baobao!
A moment later, the four of them were transferred by an approaching 'Haicang Ship' [medium-sized battleship] to a giant three-masted gunboat on the side that served as the deputy commander's ship.

"Report!"

"Master Ye, Marshal Xu, as well as General Guo and his son, have arrived safely on the Vice Admiral's ship."

After Wang Baobao nodded, he strode out of the command hall and said to the messenger: "Lock the door of the command hall for me."

In this way, he watched helplessly as the safest cabin of the battleship was locked on his own order.

Then, without looking back, he headed for the command booth that represented the front-line command position. Soon, Wang Baobao was standing on the command booth!
At the same time, eight soldiers held long shields and stood in his four directions, east, west, north and south.

It's not the time to start the battle yet, so the shield falls to the ground and doesn't get close to him yet.

Because of this, Ye Qing and the other four people who were on the deck of the Vice-Admiral's ship could still clearly see this battle marshal who was dedicated to fighting.

"Pass this commander's military order,"

"All the warships dispersed and retreated one mile behind our ship, spreading out horizontally."

The messenger was immediately stunned. He had never seen such a naval attack.

All the ships spread out horizontally in the rear, and then watched helplessly as the handsome ships fought in front?

Obviously, this is completely unreasonable.

But no matter how unreasonable he felt, he did not dare to disobey the battle marshal's instructions.

"Yes!"

After the messenger told the flag soldiers his orders, the flag soldiers standing at the highest command booth informed the ships in all directions of Wang Baobao's combat orders through flags.

Soon, Wang Baobao's military order was passed to the captains of each ship.

Then, it is conveyed to the ship's 'power cabin' through the captain.

The way they pass the order to the power cabin is not to run to the bottom cabin to pass the order, but to directly pull the 'pull switch' on the side of the command booth!
At the end of this pull switch are the bells in all directions in the power cabin!

In the power cabin of the handsome ship, after receiving the order, the sailor captain walked to the drummer's position and picked up a pair of drumsticks!
"All sails have been lowered and we are on combat readiness!"

"Full speed ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rowers on both sides, who were as tall as weightlifting champions, began to take action.

At the same time, above the so-called giant keel rollover in the middle, and on top of the many 'bicycles' standing opposite each other, all the bicycles facing the bow were kicked up by riders as tall as cyclists.

The chains under their feet will convert their foot power into power to drive the main keel.

With so many water baffles on the main keel, the water on the bottom of the ship will be pushed backwards to achieve the effect of driving the ship forward.

This 'bicycle' power system can be an important assist in the forward and reverse directions of a multi-paddle power system!
This is Ye Qing's 'combination of ancient and modern' aspects of battleship power!
There is no way, we can't build a steam engine for the time being, so we can only use our brains in this aspect.

But even so, such a power system is hundreds of years ahead, and it would be an absolute crushing to deal with the Japanese shipbuilding technology imitating the Tang Dynasty.

On the deck of the deputy commander's ship, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he saw the giant commander's ship moving as fast as a 'horse on the sea'.

"This, this is comparable to..."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated to speak, his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Xu Da looked at the blush on his face and immediately knew what the words he couldn't say were.

That is, 'This is much faster than the warships built by our Longjiang Shipyard! '

Xu Da thought of this, and then looked at the handsome ship that was already far ahead, and secretly sighed in his heart: "It's several times faster."

At this moment, the three of them looked at the creator of miracles at the same time.

Even their eyes are the same 'greedy'!
However, the direction of their greed is also different!
In the eyes of the three of them, Ye Qing once again took out a long telescope and looked at the changes in the front army.

Soon, all the ships began to lower their masts and dispersed and retreated at the same time!

Under the sun, eighty ships began to rapidly change their formations on the huge sea.

In just a moment, they completed Wang Baobao's order to change formations.

The commander's ship moves forward in the center, and each ship is lined up behind, always keeping one mile away from the commander's ship.

From a distance, it looks like a fisherman, leading a giant fishing net to the Japanese navy stationed in the harbor!

Soon, the handsome ship rushed into the bay.

The 'giant fishing net' at the rear just seals the narrow mouth of this trapezoidal bay.

"Pass this commander's military order,"

"All ships in the rear, anchor and stop where they are!"

"The handsome ship is sailing at full speed, aiming to dock the largest enemy ship!"

"All naval guns loaded, stone core shells..."

On the Vice Admiral's ship that was anchored directly behind, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened again when he looked at the scene in front of him.

No matter how far behind the opponent's ships were, there would still be hundreds of them parked there.

Fighting for hundreds of dollars is really asking for death! …
