Mingshi

Chapter 1016
"I'll go with you this time."

"What?" Hu Zongxian almost jumped up, then shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, absolutely not."

Hu Zongxian absolutely cannot let Luo Xin go out to sea for adventure. Once Luo Xin dies at sea, as the governor, he must be the most responsible.

"I have to go!" Luo Xin said solemnly: "The problem of this pirate team must be resolved as soon as possible. Your Majesty has no patience. If it cannot be resolved in the shortest possible time, not only will I have problems, but you will also have problems. "

"I know." Hu Zongxian nodded and said, "But that doesn't make you take risks."

"It's not an adventure. Pirates are just murder and arson. I'll go meet them and find out. If you can fight, then fight. If you can't fight, talk to them. There should be no danger. "

"How could there be no danger..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore, I will definitely go."

Hu Zongxian's face became very ugly, Luo Xin had an imperial decree there, so he could not change Luo Xin's decision.In the end, he only nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"No need!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You still need to take charge of the overall situation on the shore. Even if something happens to me, at least there will be you in Southeast. If something happens to both of us, then Southeast will be in chaos."

Hu Zongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid of going to sea.A look of concern appeared on his face and he said:
"However, you can't let you go to sea alone."

"Why am I alone? Didn't I have the Daming Navy, and Master Liu's Jin Yiwei Ye followed me."

Five days later.

Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing, Xu Luqing, and the five masters all sent off Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou at the pier.And the merchants from the vassal states also followed Luo Xin when they saw Luo Xin, and their nervous hearts relaxed a lot.Luo Xin and Liu Shouyou were on the main ship of the Daming Navy. Luo Xin stood on the deck and shouted in a deep voice:
"out!"

More than 100 ships left the coast and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing's faces were full of worry.

Xu Shixing was really worried about Luo Xin's comfort, while Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng were more worried, what would they do if something happened to Luo Xin?
As for Xu Luqing's mood is very complicated at this time, he hopes that Luo Xin will be able to go well this time.Because only if everything goes well, the Shibo Department will be able to continue to collect tariffs in the future, so His Majesty will not embarrass the Xu family anymore.However, if Luo Xin dies, the sea trade will be cut off, and the Shibo Department will have no tax to collect. At that time, the person His Majesty hates the most will be his father.

However, thinking of the humiliation that Luo Xin brought to the Xu family, he wished that Luo Xin would die at sea.

The five masters all hope that Luo Xin can return triumphantly, in that case, they will be able to truly control Haimao.You must know that this time His Majesty ordered the Xu family not to allow Haimao to come into contact with Haimao again, and also ordered the five of them to be praised.From now on, the matter of Haimao is not theirs, who else will it be?

A lot of money is waiting for them to earn.

But all of this must be based on Luo Xin's triumphant return, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Can Luo Xin return triumphantly?
To be honest, [-]% of the people thought that it was impossible for Luo Xin to return triumphantly. After all, not long ago, the Daming Navy was beaten to death by that pirate.This time there is one more Luo Xin, will he win?
Are you still joking?

Eighty percent of the people believed that although Luo Xin would fail, he would be able to come back alive.After all, although the Daming Navy failed last time, they all escaped back.Luo Xin can't beat the pirates, can't he escape?
But [-]% of the people think that Luo Xin will die at sea, after all, swords and guns have no eyes, and they are still at sea.

Therefore, the five masters were really worried, leaving the servants at the pier, and the five returned to the mansion in a state of anxiety to wait for the news.

In fact, the people waiting for the news are not limited to the five great families?
Hu Zongxian, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Shixing, and the Xu family were all waiting for news from Luo Xin.Luo Xin's news is related to the future of these people, especially for the Xu family, it is even related to life and death.

If Luo Xin lives, Xu Jiaye can live.

If Luo Xin died and Emperor Jiajing was furious, who knew if he would pour all his anger on the Xu family?

Of course, Emperor Jiajing's fury was not because of Luo Xin's death, but because the Shibo Department could not collect money.

The atmosphere in the entire southeast has become sluggish, and everyone related to this matter is uneasy.The news was also sent to the capital as quickly as possible, to the case of Emperor Jiajing.

On the endless sea.

Liu Shouyou and Luo Xin stood side by side on the deck, Luo Xin looked at the sea and said, "If there are pirates, they should appear in this sea area, otherwise we will leave this strait later, the pirates are trying to rob , it becomes difficult.”

"pirate!"

As soon as Luo Xin's words fell, Liu Shouyou yelled in panic, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, looking forward.

A patch of black dots appeared in front of them, and those black dots rapidly enlarged. They were sea ships, approaching them quickly.

The Daming navy has already started to set up an formation, facing the pirates on the opposite side.Those pirate ships were still far away from the Daming Navy, when the bows and arrows of the Daming Navy could not reach the pirate ships, they suddenly heard the sound of thunder, and then saw the pirate ships on the opposite side. The fire blazed, and then shells landed about three meters away from the ship of the Daming Navy, thick jets of water blasted up.

"My lord..." Liu Shouyou's expression became even more panicked.

"My lord..." At this time, Yu Dayou also walked to Luo Xin's side.

Luo Xin looked at Yu Dayou and said, "Brother Yu, can you beat him?"

Yu Dayou's expression was very ugly. Last time, Yu Dayou didn't come to protect the merchants of the vassal state. This time he asked to come, and wanted to destroy the pirates.

But seeing this pirate at this moment, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.The opponent's ships are not much less than theirs, there are nearly a hundred ships, and they are all very large sea ships.The most important thing is that there are so many cannons on each ship.Before I can get close, my ship will be bombarded by the opponent's artillery.

How is this played?
If the number of ships on your side is ten times that of pirates, you can still fight a dozen, but now you can't even double it.When the pirate's ship gets closer, it may be too late to escape.

"My lord, we can't fight." Yu Dayou said awkwardly: "We have to withdraw quickly..."

"Don't be afraid!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Put down a small boat."
