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

Chapter 213 Seduction?

Lingshan Guard, on the port.

"Excuse me, is it your Royal Highness, the young emperor, who is here to save us?"

Huang Zhenghao had heard about Zhu Xuan and knew that the behemoth was the battleship of the young emperor. As soon as he returned to the dock, he stood respectfully beside the ship and waited.

After a while, the gangway was lowered.

Zhu Xuan walked down from above, nodded and said, "It's me!"

Huang Zhenghao said respectfully: "Huang Zhenghao, the commander of Lingshan Guard, pays homage to His Highness. Thank you very much for bringing troops to the rescue."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The Ming army guard soldiers around him followed Huang Zhenghao and bowed in unison.

If Zhu Xuan hadn't come to the rescue, it would still be a question whether they could hold on to this guardhouse, so they felt somewhat grateful.

Zhu Xuan said humbly: "You are welcome, no need to be polite. I followed the emperor's order to help you fight against the Japanese pirates. I just did what I should do. You fought the Japanese pirates to the death for the Ming Dynasty. You are the heroes of our Ming Dynasty."

After hearing His Highness's words, their eyes turned slightly red.

I never thought I could be a hero.

After a brief polite exchange between the two parties, Huang Zhenghao took Zhu Xuan to the guardhouse and asked someone to bring him some tea and cakes.

Zhu Xuan first asked him about Japanese pirates.

When the Japanese pirates were mentioned, Huang Zhenghao cursed loudly and hated them so much that he wanted to kill all the Japanese pirates.

"Where do most of the Japanese pirates near Laizhou and Qingzhou come from?" Zhu Xuan asked.

There must be a lot of Japanese pirates nearby. If we only help local police stations to fight against Japanese pirates in coastal areas, we will not be able to eliminate the scourge of Japanese pirates. We must solve it at the source and destroy the Japanese pirates' lair.

It is impossible to destroy the Japanese country now. The Japanese pirates come from a long distance and will not go back and forth between the Japanese country and the Ming Dynasty every day. There should be some strongholds on the sea. Zhu Xuan wants to destroy the strongholds.

Huang Zhenghao said: "Of course the Japanese pirates are from the Japanese country, but they do not come directly from the Japanese country. To the northeast of the sea outside our Lingshan Guard, there is Chaolian Island, which is the home base of all the nearby Japanese pirates."

"Chaolian Island?"

Zhu Xuan thought for a while and asked: "Is the distance far?"

Huang Zhenghao said: "It's not far. We can sail there in more than half a day. His Highness's big ship can be faster. Even if we know where the Japanese pirates' lair is, our Laizhou guard station is not able to wipe out the Japanese pirates. It's really shameful."

Zhu Xuan thought deeply and said, "Tomorrow morning, how about asking Mr. Huang to come to my boat and lead me the way to Chaolian Island together?"

Huang Zhenghao had long wanted to attack Chaolian Island. Hearing this, he directly agreed: "I am willing to serve His Highness!"

As long as the Japanese pirates' lair on Chaolian Island, Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture are eliminated, the coastal areas will be able to live a stable life in the next few years.

After deciding what to do next, Zhu Xuan stayed in the guardhouse to rest.

The next morning.

Before they set off, the war drums on the beach were suddenly beaten.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Zhu Xuan jumped up quickly and led his troops to the dock. A soldier rushed over and said, "Your Highness, there are many Japanese pirate ships on the sea again."

"Come on board and go to battle!"

Zhu Xuan shouted.

The soldiers from the Shenji Battalion quickly boarded the ship.

Huang Zhenghao also took some soldiers from the guard station, boarded the Yingtian ship, and went to sea together.

The other warships were left to guard the garrison and deal with the Japanese pirates. One Yingtian ship was enough.

Zhu Xuan took out his telescope and looked at the sea. He saw more than ten Japanese pirate ships parked on the sea. They seemed to want to launch an attack, but they did not dare to attack. Seeing the Yingtian ship going out to sea, they seemed to be afraid. They dispersed and retreated directly to the northeast.

"That direction is toward Liandao?" Zhu Xuan pointed to the direction in which the Japanese pirate ships retreated.

"That's right!" Huang Zhenghao said.

"Follow me!"

Zhu Xuan originally wanted to blow up the Japanese pirates' lair.

Since those Japanese pirates took the initiative to lead the way, it would be just right to catch up and take a look first. The Yingtian ship sailed very fast, and after a while, it caught up to the rear. Zhu Xuan ordered the cannon to be fired, and several Japanese pirate ships were sunk on the spot.

Being able to feel the shock of the divine cannon firing on the ship, Huang Zhenghao felt his blood boiling. He came to the side of the ship and looked out. After observing for a while, he suddenly found something wrong and said quickly: "Your Highness, something is wrong!"

"what happened?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Huang Zhenghao pointed to the sea, frowned and said: "The ship that was sunk by His Highness just now, the Japanese pirates who jumped into the sea to escape, or were killed, are not many. There seem to be only five or six people in one ship, which is different from ordinary Japanese pirate ships." no the same."

Zhu Xuan used the telescope to look at other ships, and sure enough he could see that there were about five or six Japanese pirates on each ship, which was indeed a small number.

"Your Highness, I think it's inappropriate."

Zheng He also noticed the enemy's situation and said worriedly: "These Japanese pirates don't seem to be attacking Lingshan Guards, otherwise they wouldn't be the only ones here. They seem to be doing something deliberately to attract us out to sea."

Wang Er asked: "Is this a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Huang Zhenghao shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like it! The sea is endless, and it's easy to find traces of the enemy. Besides, Lingshan Guard is not far behind us. We can't see other warships appearing. It shouldn't be to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

Zhu Xuan took out his telescope and quickly scanned the sea area near Lingshan Guard behind him.

As Huang Zhenghao said, with an endless view, it is easy to detect the nearby situation, and there is no condition for ambush by Japanese pirate warships.

"Follow up and have a look."

Zhu Xuan said after thinking about it to the end.

Anyway, the Yingtian ship is here, so if something happens, it will be easy for them to go back.

He also wanted to find out what the enemy was doing, and the best way was to catch up and find out.

While chasing, they sank some Japanese pirate warships, but slowed down and let the Japanese pirate ships lead the way. They deliberately did not catch up to give the Japanese pirates some hope.

After walking for a long time, an island appeared in front of us.

The ships docked on the island, and the Japanese pirates disembarked and ran to the island.

"This is Chaolian Island!"

Huang Zhenghao said.

Zhu Xuan shouted: "Fire the cannon and sink the enemy's warships on the shore."

boom……

The artillery shot out.

On the shore of Chaolian Island, the Japanese pirate ships were defeated one after another.

They looked towards the island again. Huang Zhenghao frowned and said, "Looking at the momentum, there seem to be thousands of Japanese pirates on the island!"

Wait until those ships are all scrapped.

"Your Highness, do we want to go to the island?"

Li Niu came back and asked.

Zhu Xuan continued to observe with the telescope, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't go to the island for the time being. Let's go around the island and observe for a while."

The Yingtian ship changed direction and sailed around the island.

After observing the outside of the island and finding nothing unusual, they returned to the pier.

"Strange!"

Hou Xian said: "The Japanese pirates brought us here and did nothing else. Are they really trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

This idea also appeared in other people's minds.

I think it's a bit more likely.

Huang Zhenghao is a little nervous now. If Lingshan Guard is attacked again, the situation will be serious.

Zhu Xuan said: "Surround this island and fire a round of artillery bombing first to see how the situation goes."
