Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 571 Death Race
The fire on the shore, the sound of shouting and gunfire have gradually faded out of sight, and there is only the sound of splashing water in my ears. A dozen or so veterans risked their lives for the safe evacuation of more than 300 people. Sitting on the poop, overlooking Looking at the big island of the Japanese country dotted with stars, Qiaoyan was unwilling to look away for a long time.

"Sister Qiaoyan, don't think about it, maybe Mr. Gan and his auspicious people have their own talents. He used to be a scout. It is not so easy for those Japanese ghosts to kill our scouts of the begging army!"

A robe suddenly covered Qiaoyan's back, Qiaoyan already knew who it was without looking back, Song Yongzhong was too dull, it was impossible to imagine that Little William was a bit of a gentleman, but he was in another boat, only Zheng Sen The son of this rich family is more careful.

However, Qiao Yan had the worst impression of Zheng Sen. He was too ruthless and decisive. He offered to use himself as a bait, but he agreed without even thinking about it, and the family who was a few steps behind was caught by his eyes. He left without even blinking, and Qian Yangwu didn't hold back at all when he proposed a divorce. This person is a person who does great things, but at critical moments, this person is definitely not a reliable person to rely on.

Because of this, Qiao Yan also unceremoniously tightened his robe and stroked his hair, then turned his face and said with a sigh.

"I just can't figure it out. I'm about to escape, so why does Zhu Yuanwai betray the big guy at this critical moment? We are all dead. Is there any benefit for him?"

"Hmph, it's not because he has no confidence in us because of his selfishness, he is afraid that we will be implicated if we fail to save people. In the court, there are too many people like this, which made the Ming Dynasty into a miasma today! "

Mentioning the surname Zhu, Zheng Sen was so angry that his teeth itched, and he slammed his fist on the table, but seeing his righteous indignation, Qiao Yan muttered in his heart, you Mr. Zheng are not selfish?

But anyway, anyway, this trip back probably didn’t have much interaction with him, Qiao Yan just nodded, and then turned around to look at the vast Sea of ​​Japan, seeing that Qiao Yan didn’t like to talk to him, Zheng Sen didn’t feel compelled It's not fun, anyway, the robe was also given, so he simply saluted silently, and went to the bow with the binoculars.

Although this trip rescued the Zheng family, the Song family, and the main Chinese people who lived in Japan, they almost lost their scruples, but they also completely broke face with the country of Japan. Losing the trade of the country of Japan, the Zheng family lost a lot If you think about it, then you have to convince him. This is in line with the wishes of your immediate boss Song Qingshu, but you have completely disobeyed your father Zheng Zhilong. You don’t know what will happen when you go back. Maybe this time you have not only no credit, In order to have an explanation to the Zheng family, Song Qingshu had to slap himself down for a period of time as a punishment, all of which had to be faced.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sen felt restless for a while, and aimlessly dangled on the sea with a telescope.

But it was late at night, the sea was as dark as a cloud of thick ink, and there were no ghosts in sight. After relaxing for a long time, he put down the binoculars, turned his head and Zheng Sen wanted to go back to the cabin and think about the next plan.

But just after taking two steps, he suddenly ran back to the railing and looked into the distance. In his sight, a flickering bright spot suddenly broke into his eyes.

Most of the naval forces of the Zheng and Song Dynasties are in the Ryukyu Islands, which are still in the waters of Kyushu Island, and they cannot be their own people, so there is only one result, the Japanese!

In just a few minutes, the flickering light has turned into a will-o'-the-wisp, and countless boats are shaking their oars, screaming and coming towards him, watching the lanterns on the boats dotted, causing a scene on the galleon. There were bouts of panic.

Although the navy of the Japanese army is not as advanced as that of Zheng and Song, the Japanese country does have a navy, and this navy is quite powerful. During the Korean War, the Japanese army used sailors to transport 30 horses to the Korean battlefield. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was repulsed only after the joint efforts of Ming Dynasty and the Korean Navy. In fact, if Toyotomi Hideyoshi had not died suddenly, the war was far from over.

The last time Nagasaki was bombarded by Song Qingshu, the shogunate obviously paid more attention to Nagasaki. It mobilized five large Anzhai boats, more than 30 100-meter closed boats, and various small auxiliary bows and guns. The boats filled the entire sea. It was obvious that the shogunate was not reconciled to the fact that the hostages worth 300 million taels slipped away. Tens of thousands of sailors lined up to hunt down Zheng Sen and his party.

Obviously, it was the good deed that wished grandpa to do again!
"Everyone, get out of the cabin!"

At this time, there must be no chaos. Zheng Sen took a paddle and angrily stuffed all the panicked Mingren running around under the deck. After loading the gunpowder, the whole sailboat entered a fighting state. After clearing the deck, he took a telescope to watch the situation of the Japanese ship. Zheng Sen shouted anxiously to the sailors again.

"Immediately turn the right rudder and head towards North Korea to escape from these Japanese dogs!"

The Ryukyu Islands are south of Kyushu Island, and Zheng Sen’s escape location is north of Nagasaki. The Japanese ships chased from Nagasaki have a shorter voyage distance than Zheng Sen’s ships. The blockade is on, and now the best way is to turn around and flee in the direction of North Korea and Liaodong. If you meet the Japanese ships, even if you are fast, you will be surrounded.

Hearing Zheng Sen's order, the captain, the old British man, was about to steer the rudder with sweat on his forehead, but before he could pull out the wedge that fixed the rudder, he suddenly kicked the wedge back again .

"Listen to me, stick to the edge of the Japanese boat formation and rush out!"

"Are you crazy? That's courting death! Even if we rush past the Japanese boat, we won't be able to run very far. For a short sprint, our sailboat can't outrun the Guan boat!"

At this juncture, Zheng Sen jumped out and sang a different tune. Zheng Sen was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he roared in unforgivable anger. Unfortunately, facing his roar, Song Yongzhong shook his head indifferently: "Listen to my order, give the sea turtledove number Signal them to prepare for battle and follow my ship!"

"You have to send yourself to death, don't drag the big guy!"

He didn't care about his friends anymore, holding the oar, Zheng Sen rushed over in a rage, but immediately, in the sound of pulling, more than [-] elite soldiers of the draft army all pulled out their guys, and the situation suddenly became explosive.

After calming down a bit, Zheng Sen threw the oars aside, still annoyed, he grabbed Song Yongzhong's collar and shouted at him, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know what I'm about to do, so listen to me!"

Seeing Song Yongzhong's calm appearance, he suddenly thought about it, and then Zheng Sen shook off Song Yongzhong's collar fiercely, walked to the bow of the boat angrily, and waved his hands behind his back.

Do as much as you like!

Obtaining the command power seemed nothing to Song Yongzhong to be happy about. After dismissing Zheng Sen, he still had a cold face and yelled at the bewildered captain beside him.

"Didn't you hear the order? Hurry up and do it!"

The Japanese warship unfolded continuously on the sea like a long snake, deviated by about 75 degrees, and the two sailboats were also racing against it in the direction in which the Japanese warship unfolded. At this end, two uninvited guests had obviously been found. Constantly rushing towards this direction, Xiao Zao at the front was also curling in this direction. The two sailboats, the Sea Quail and the Sea Turtle Dove, seemed to be wrapped up like bugs trapped in carnivorous flowers.

The faces of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side of the ship seemed to be clearly seen. Dozens of bows surrounded Xiaozao in front of the ship. Song Yongzhong stopped the boat, but looking at the Japanese people wielding knives and guns below, his face suddenly darkened, and Song Yongzhong suddenly shouted angrily.

"Run over directly!"

Gong Xiaozao is only about ten meters long and one meter high, but the Sea Quail is considered to be the number one in the British East India Company. It is more than 50 meters long and the bow is as sharp as a butter knife. The Japanese on the other side couldn't believe it, and the Sea Quail ran straight over their heads.

Amidst the cracking sound, the bows blocking the way, Xiaozao, were either crushed or knocked out like a ladle in a water tank. The Japanese archers above jumped into the sea screaming However, the impact also shook the Sea Quail violently. In the cabin, Qiao Yan screamed and was buried under a large pile of cosmetic boxes by her. Zheng Sen at the bow almost fell into the sea without shaking.

Seeing the appearance of the Sea Quail in front, the Sea Turtle Dove at the back held back for a long time, and then played a semaphore of God's blessing.

In the distance, the slow-moving Guan Ship was obviously irritated by this scene. On the ship, Japanese soldiers carrying a large tube shouted and ran up to the deck. The Japanese soldiers holding the torch ignited the twister behind the big tube fiercely, and the gunpowder cluster like Katyusha rocket bombarded the two British ships brilliantly on three sides.

This time the shock was even more intense, and the Sea Quail even staggered and nearly fell to the side. Qiaoyan, who had just stood up with great difficulty, screamed again and was covered in rouge.

"Damn, fire!"

After being greeted by fireworks, Song Yongzhong was finally annoyed and roared angrily.

The roaring Fran cannon blasted away Gong Xiaozao, who was blocking the way, and then the strong night wind, the two British ships finally rushed out of the encirclement of the Japanese ships, but at this time, the ships were no longer what they were when they came. Dozens of large-scale fireworks left indelible marks on the hull, and a big hole was burned out in the sail, but at any rate, they broke through the encirclement.

Although, only temporarily.

Howling like a castrated jackass, the dense Japanese Guan boats like Ailanthus stretched out oars like centipede feet, roaring and marched frantically from Nagasaki to the sea, next to them, the last one who passed first The light bow Xiaozao fleet also outflanked them, trying to wrap Song Yongzhong in it like making dumplings, but was a bit embarrassed by the explosion of fireworks, Song Yongzhong waved a command knife and shouted like a madman.

"Xiang Nan, run as fast as you can, and run as far as you can!"
