Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 208 The frightened Japanese pirates pissed themselves
  The next day.

Zhu Xuan gathered a thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion and 500 Jinyi Guards led by Yan Guan, and arrived at the Yingtian Ship, preparing to set sail to sea.

Forty-three warships have assembled at a nearby port and can follow the Yingtian ship to sea at any time. Considering the problem of commanding so many warships, Zhu Xuan asked Xu Huizu to go to war with him last night.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

Among those warships, there is also a main ship.

The main ship is also very large, but compared with the Yingtian ship, it is still a bit smaller.

"Brother Xu, my Yingtian ship will set off first to support the guard posts across Shandong. Your warship is not fast enough. Can you follow up behind me?" Zhu Xuan asked.

Xu Huizu did not go to the Yingtian ship, but stayed on the main ship to command. He also knew very well that Zhu Xuan actually just wanted the Yingtian ship to fight.

The Japanese pirates were scattered and did not gather into an army.

A Yingtian ship is enough to deal with Japanese pirates scattered everywhere. However, considering that the coastline is too long and the number of Japanese pirates is too large, the pressure on the Yingtian ship may be relatively high, so it needs the assistance of other warships.

Although Xu Huizu was not good at naval battles, he had the same principles for leading troops in battles. It only takes a while to get used to it. After hearing the words, he said: "Your Highness, you go first, and we will follow behind. If you encounter danger, avoid it as much as possible." , don’t take any chances.”

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "I understand, by the way, Brother Xu, this is for you."

He handed a telescope to Xu Huizu.

This is the latest product made by the factory. There are two in total. Zhu Xuan has one, and the second one is given to Xu Huizu. He added: "This is called a telescope. It can see very far away. It is very useful at sea. Let's start with gone."

"Go, be safe!"

Xu Huizu nodded.

The Yingtian ship soon set sail, leaving the Yangtze River and entering the sea.

The remaining warships, led by Xu Huizu's main ship, also left together.

On the ship are one of the few naval forces of the Ming Dynasty. They have forgotten how long they have not conducted water training. This time they go out to fight as if they are chasing a duck or participating in a naval battle. It is inevitable that they will be a little nervous.

However, the artillery on their ship had long been replaced by Dingshanhe by the people from the Ministry of War, and it was much more powerful than ordinary artillery.

As for the divine cannon, ordinary warships cannot afford it.

Only the size of the main ship can be equipped with one, and the others can be equipped with Dingshan River.

The main ship can be equipped with a divine cannon. If there are too many cannons and they are fired together, the recoil will shake the ordinary wooden main ship from side to side, making it unstable on the sea.

The main ship soon came to the sea, and they could see Zhu Xuan's Yingtian ship drifting away.

A coal-burning steam engine and a plume of black smoke shot up into the sky.

"telescope?"

Xu Huizu weighed what Zhu Xuan had given him and took a look outside.

He saw the Yingtian ship that had gone far in front of him, but was brought closer to him in the blink of an eye. He put down the telescope, and his vision returned to normal.

"This……"

This was the first time Xu Huizu saw such a magical thing, and he exclaimed: "This is an artifact!"

It is not only useful at sea, but also in the military and in fighting on the northern grasslands. It can spy on the enemy's whereabouts. He sighed: "The science of the little emperor is omnipotent!"

-

Zhu Xuan still doesn't know what his uncle is thinking.

He sat comfortably on the deck and followed the Yingtian ship north along the coastline. After walking for a long time, he finally left the sea outside Yingtian Mansion and entered the sea southeast of Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong Province.

"Your Highness!"

Zheng He ran back and said: "To the northwest of us, more than ten ships appeared. There were no flags hanging on them. I don't know which ship they are from, but judging from their style, they don't look like our Ming warships."

Zhu Xuan came to the side of the ship, took out his telescope, and looked northwest for a while. The distance is a bit far, and the precision of the telescope is not high enough, so the view is not very clear, but the warships in that direction really don't look like those of the Ming army.

"Are we going to face Japanese pirates so soon?"

"Those Japanese pirates may have just returned from robbing Qingzhou Prefecture."

"Zheng He, come closer."

"If you find that the warship is not ours, attack it immediately!"

Zhu Xuan ordered.

"Get closer to the northwest!"

Zheng He passed down Zhu Xuan's order.

Their Yingtian ship could easily change direction. Its huge propeller turned and headed northwest, quickly approaching the dozen or so ships.

Those on board also saw a huge Yingtian ship approaching at this time.

This was the first time they had seen this kind of behemoth at sea. It was even bigger than those whales. The people on the boat were stunned for a while. Finally, when they saw the Yingtian ship flying the Ming army flag, they all let out an exclamation at the same time. Change Run in the direction.

"Your Highness, those ships seem to be afraid of us and are running away."

Hou Xian looked outside.

The feeling of wanting to escape is obvious, that is, he is really afraid of the Yingtian ship.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Zhu Xuan raised his telescope and looked around. He saw that the people on the boat had a Yueyiro head, which is the hair starting from the side of the forehead to the top of the head. All the hair was shaved to make the scalp Reveal half moon shape.

Zhu Xuan had seen similar hairstyles in Ashikaga Hisuki and Ashikaga Yoshitsune, and all the people on those ships had such hairstyles.

It was obviously a Japanese ship.

Zhu Xuan shouted: "That's a Japanese pirate, fire!"

The shells have been prepared for a long time.

The veterans of Shenji Battalion were more proficient in controlling artillery and firing shells with accuracy. After fighting in Annan, they were more proficient than before. Under the envious eyes of the more than two hundred recruits, they fired cannons at Japanese ships. go out.

boom……

With the continuous sound of artillery, eight of more than ten Japanese ships were destroyed, and many Japanese on board were killed on the spot.

Those who were not killed by the explosion all jumped into the seawater. I don’t know how miserable they were.

When the remaining Japanese saw this scene, they were so frightened that their legs weakened.

When did the Ming army have such terrifying naval warships and such powerful artillery?

They never knew!
  Ashikaga Hisuki and the others came to Yingtian and landed on the coast. They did not take a boat deep into the Yangtze River, so they would not have seen the Yingtian ship. Otherwise, he would have sent back the news of the Yingtian ship and given it to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Ashikaga Yoshichichi. No matter how brave you are, you won’t dare to provoke Ming again.

The legs of the Japanese were weak and their whole bodies were shaking with fear.

But no matter how scared they were, their will to survive was still strong. They sped up and fled, trying to escape no matter what.

However, no matter how fast it is, it cannot be faster than the Yingtian Ship.

"Bump it over." Zhu Xuan said calmly.

"Bump!" Zheng He ordered.

boom……

The speed of the Yingtian ship increased, and the black smoke it sprayed became more powerful. It hit the wind and waves and chased after the Japanese.

Those Japanese felt the huge figure of the Yingtian ship covering them, and looked back. Many of them were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, and the pants between their legs were wet.
