Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 437 Great Merit

  Emperor Hongzhi got good news.

  According to the report of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Beiwawei, the Japanese pirates entrenched in Baiwei Island in the outer sea, gathering thousands of people.

This is also the reason why Ma Wensheng was so elated. Shu Tan, the most important thing in annihilating the Japanese pirates is not the strength of the Japanese pirates, but the fact that the Japanese pirates come and go without a trace, and there is no defense at all. Immediately Yang Fan left, never to be seen again.

   Now that I know their lair, I am really happy.

Ma Wensheng said: "With Qi Jingtong here, we have also mobilized elite Japanese guards to fight. Our Ming sea ships are more than ten times taller than the small boats of the Japanese pirates. With the help of firearms, we only need to attack and the Japanese pirates will die. place."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the memorial carefully: "Is the news reliable?"

"God has eyes, it just so happened that the Japanese pirates in Baiwei Island were fighting among themselves, and two Japanese pirates who escaped from the internal fighting fell into the hands of the Japanese guards. They got the news under interrogation. There is a big discrepancy, this Baiwei Island, in fact, was recorded in Emperor Taizu Gao's time, no matter in terms of location or geography, there is not much discrepancy between what the two Japanese explained."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Then go on the offensive, and you'll be done."

   "The Ministry of War has ordered Qi Jingtong to attack, and the Japanese pirates are bound to die without a place to bury them."

Emperor Hongzhi settled down. He paid attention to the Japanese pirates not because of the Japanese pirates themselves. In his eyes, there was no difference between Japanese pirates and ordinary bandits. , it can be wiped out.

  What he values ​​is to cut off some people's minions, first to remove their minions, and then to completely uproot some people who are in harmony with the Japanese pirate Antong.

  Ma Wensheng heaved a sigh of relief. The past two years have been really bad luck. Now...he can finally feel at ease.

   But at this time, the **** outside said: "Cabinet scholar, Minister of the Ministry of Household Li Dongyang, please see me."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and said, "Biography."

  But I saw Li Dongyang coming in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the disaster situation in Ningbo Prefecture is still there. Since the severe drought in Ningbo Prefecture, the counties in Ningbo have been in a hurry..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was slightly taken aback: "What? Didn't the court temporarily order the Zhenguo Mansion to prepare Japanese guards to take out the surplus food for temporary relief?"

   "I've checked it." Li Dongyang couldn't laugh or cry: "The prefect of Ningbo has reported that the Zhen Guofu prepared Japanese guards, and there is no extra food at all."

   "Where's the food?" Emperor Hongzhi was startled: "Where's their food?"

   Was it lost on the way, or the food from the Ministry of War has not arrived yet? This...isn't it right, the Ministry of War dared to withhold food from the Zhen Guo Mansion?

   In fact, the imperial court really didn’t worry about food, but the problem was the transportation. Could it be that there was a problem with the transportation.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng.

  Ma Wensheng said: "The food has arrived, and the Beiwawei still has a receipt. They have given the number for three months, and they dare not miss a grain of rice."

Li Dongyang smiled wryly: "Judging from the report, all the food was eaten. The food for three months was enough for 3,000 people. In the end... 300 people, they... They ate 70% to 80% in less than a month and a half." , the prefect of Ningbo said that every day of the Zhen Guofu prepares Japanese guards, like Chinese New Year. The rice needs to be fine rice, and they secretly exchange rice with others for meat. Hu Kaishan, one person eats one pot, others use chopsticks, he eats with rice spoons, and eats seven catties of rice and two catties of meat a day."

   "..."

  In the warm pavilion, there was an instant silence.

   Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

   A little confused.

   Three hundred people, eating three thousand military rations, are they pigs?

   "Now, it's too late to adjust food from various places. All the counties in Ningbo Prefecture have run out of food stocks. I'm afraid..."

"That rebellious son!" Emperor Hongzhi snapped, "That rebellious son is really nothing. What kind of things does he raise? Beasts! If someone dies of starvation, I will be the first to look for him. As for others, they have gone. where."

   "Take the freshmen and go hunting."

   "..."

   "Where's Fang Jifan?"

   "Fang Jifan is not feeling well, his old illness has recurred, he is raising at home, and he didn't go hunting." Xiao Jing said with a smile: "But I heard that this Fang Jifan has been at home recently, and he doesn't know what to do. Anyway, he stays behind closed doors."

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down: "Don't worry about them. Immediately think of a way, try every means to allocate food from various places, and never let man-made disasters happen after natural disasters."

  Originally, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to call Fang Jifan over, and then give him a good beating.

   Thinking of the recurrence of his old illness, Emperor Hongzhi finally softened his heart.

  I also have a daughter who suffers from a brain disorder, and I still have some compassion for this kind of brain-dead thing.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "The cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs will discuss it immediately and find a way."

   Li Dongyang wanted to say, in a hurry, when he thought of a way to transport the food, I'm afraid...

  Of course, he dared not extinguish the last hope of Emperor Hongzhi.

  ...

  Ningbo Offshore.

   Blue waves thousands of miles.

  A ship slowly moored in the middle of the sea.

  Looking at the blue waves, Tang Yin couldn't help but feel excited about poetry, but at this time, it was obviously not the time to read poetry.

  After the establishment of Beiwowei in the Zhenguofu, three hundred young men from Yiwu and Yongkang were selected.

   Hu Kaishan is very satisfied with these people.

  Because these people are not physically strong, but... they are very ruthless.

  The water village is ready-made, and the drills can be started directly. The first thing to do is to make these people observe military discipline.

Especially the people recruited, there are two counties. The people in these two counties are all feuds. Since the generation of grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa, everyone has picked up a blade and hacked people up.

  Hu Kaishan thought that these people were mixed with dragons and snakes, and it would be very troublesome to practice. At that time, there would inevitably be fights in the camp.

  But who would have thought that they are actually very well-behaved, they will do whatever Hu Kaishan asks them to do.

  The prerequisite is that when the meal is served, there must be pots of white rice.

   Starving ghost.

   Tang Yin was very scary when he saw Hu Kaishan eating, but seeing these three hundred zombie-like people who seemed to be born with hunger memories, gobbling up, Tang Yin was completely dumbfounded.

   Is there only eating and eating in life?

   Well, Tang Yin doesn't understand their world.

   Food was given. To be precise, they could eat and drink well. These soldiers were surprisingly obedient.

  Let them be exposed to the sun, and they will be exposed to the sun; teach them not to move, and they will not move.

   Originally worried that regional conflicts would break out in the camp.

  Unexpectedly, except for the people in the two counties who don't like to say hello, they hardly have any quarrels.

  After practicing for more than a month, they were sent out to sea. When the boat left the water village, Tang Yin looked back at the cracked land under the scorching sun.

  He knew that this severe drought was a fatal disaster for Ningbo Mansion. He was ordered by his mentor to save people.

The only large ship in Beiwowei is a horse boat, which appeared in the early Ming Dynasty. It is a large-scale fast water battle and transportation ship. The captain is thirty-seven feet long, fifteen feet wide, and has eight masts. , when this ship sailed to the Western Ocean, it was also classified as a treasure ship, but it was only a medium-sized treasure ship.

  Such a huge ship is enough for three hundred people to eat on board.

  Go to sea for half a day and arrive at a sea area.

   Tang Yin ordered the ship to drop anchor.

   Immediately, he ordered people to release the boat.

   Boats and boats were lowered from this giant.

   Immediately afterwards, the soldiers began to adjust the boat along the cable.

  Tang Yin and Hu Kaishan also got off the boat in person, he took a deep breath, Tang Yin felt a little nervous.

  The mentor taught him a method, this method... It's a bit strange to say.

  He carefully held a mallet in his hand, and Hu Kaishan beside him was so huge that he almost pushed Tang Yin into the sea.

  Tang Yin took out a piece of bamboo on which the method was written.

  Hu Kaishan was a little seasick and looked drunk. Fortunately, he was in good health and not too serious. He supported the boat and had a natural fear of the vast ocean: "Editor Tang, what are you doing?"

   "Direct the school of fish."

   "What?" Hu Kaishan was stunned: "The fish can still command, isn't it Jackie Chan?"

   "We are the Dragon Lord." Tang Yin said.

   "Don't dare, don't dare." Hu Kaishan, a foodie, was a little dizzy looking at the blue waves. He is from the north, and he has too much awe for the sea.

   "The mentor said."

   "Engong..." Hu Kaishan thought for a while: "If Engong said so, then we are considered. But, how to command?"

   Tang Yin didn't make a sound, he started to hold the mallet, and according to the recorded method, he began to beat the ship's side rhythmically.

  Papa...papa...papapa...

   This small knocking sound was drowned almost quickly under the roaring tide and sea wind.

  Hu Kaishan looked suspicious.

  So... you can command?

  Engong...There are also times when he is not very reliable.

   But it doesn't matter.

  Hu Kaishan continued to think in his heart that the greatest strength of En Gong lies in his character, not his ability.

  What I respect the most about Hu Kaishan is also this point. As for... other unreliable things, they can be automatically ignored.

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa…

   Tang Yin tapped rhythmically, his forehead was covered with sweat.

  He actually felt unreliable.

  But what the mentor said, it is what it is, what else can I say?

   slap... slap...

  He knocked and felt that his arms were numb.

  He suddenly felt like a big fool.

  Because the soldiers on many small boats nearby all looked at themselves as if they were fools.

   That kind of look is very sour.

   OK, ignore them.

   Tang Yin continued to tap rhythmically.

  The sailors finally began to mutter in a low voice.

  Although the editors are rewarded with food, they are also determined to be soldiers down-to-earth, but this does not mean that everyone is here to be a fool.

   Could it be... this is some kind of music...

   At sea, it's like knocking on a chime.

  Some well-informed people muttered: "This is chime music, which belongs to scholars. It is said that it is ritual music."

  ...
