The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"Cloth shoes, straw shoes?"

Zhang Chunxue looked at Li Yuanqing suspiciously, "general, this, what's wrong with this?"

Looking at her bright but confused eyes, Li Yuanqing could not help but smile: "spring snow, this is actually very simple. Do you have any shoes in Manila and Brunei? "

Zhang Chunxue still can't say doubt, busy way: "general, should still with cloth shoe, straw shoe give priority to?"

She has never paid attention to this matter.

Li Yuanqing smiles, "not bad. Most people, indeed, wear cloth shoes and straw sandals. However, the white people, including some Chinese and natives, are basically wearing leather boots

"This..."

Zhang Chunxue some reaction come over, but still can't find the train of thought, busy way: "general, this is what reason?"

Forgetting that the uniform behind her has been untied by Li Yuanqing and the defense line has been lost.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "white people wear leather boots because this is their spread and a symbol of nobility. Almost all sailors and soldiers, including white men, wore leather boots. Because leather boots are wear-resistant, although they are hotter in summer, they can keep water off. Especially for work on boats, leather boots are much better than cloth shoes and straw sandals. The sailors and children in our camp also wear leather boots

Zhang Chunxue said with a smile: "general, this is because we are rich in fur in Liaoning Province. The cost of leather boots is lower than that of cloth shoes and grass shoes, and they are also wear-resistant."

Li Yuanqing laughed, picked up his glass, tasted it lightly, and said with a smile: "good. There is also this aspect, but more importantly, because leather boots are more suitable for fighting. Because they are more fault tolerant! Let's go back to this. White nobles wear leather boots, which is the inheritance. White soldiers and sailors wear leather boots to make a living. However, many Chinese, including some native nobles, wear leather boots, which is to follow the trend. In Brunei, including in Nanyang, a pair of leather boots is not cheap. Chunxue, have you ever seen a native eating in a single room in a big restaurant with cloth shoes, straw sandals and barefoot neck? "

"Ah?"

Zhang Chunxue was stunned and said with a smile: "general, I, I seem to have understood some of them, eh..."

But before she finished her words, Li Yuanqing held her in his arms, making her breathless

Although the indoor space is huge, but the temperature rises rapidly and violently

Early in the morning, the day just slightly light, Li Yuanqing instinctively opened his eyes.

Looking at the arms are also like a kitten general, sleeping is sweet Zhang Chunxue, Li Yuanqing's mouth, not from the proud up.

After struggling with him for so long, he finally got what he wanted

Moreover, the taste is more wonderful than he imagined.

Outside the window, the rain is still falling. However, it is much smaller than last night. According to the appearance, this should not be a large-scale storm.

This also made Li Yuanqing a little relieved.

In later generations, there was a popular Lyric in Baming area: "three parts of heaven are doomed, seven parts depend on hard work!"

Sometimes, you just go to work hard, but may not be able to find the real road to success, often, also need some luck.

And Li Yuanqing's luck is quite good.

The natives he caught in the restaurant last night are the branches of the "cannibal shark" department. To be exact, they are the branches of their stolen goods and also their important branches.

However, due to the uneven distribution of interests, two members of the gang clashed and killed themselves on the spot.

But it is such a tiny gap that Li Yuanqing is sensitive to capture.

This group not only controls the detailed information of the cannibal shark department, but also firmly controls the external financial resources of the Department.

Since later generations, the media has been so developed that Li Yuanqing is already very familiar with this routine.

Gold, after all, cannot be eaten for food.

The cannibal shark tribe is located on an isolated island. Even if they can fish, their arable land is limited. If they want to maintain three meals, they must have external supplies.

Brunei is the best port because of its special geographical location.

Before that, Li Yuanqing had basically grasped the position and trend of the cannibal shark department. He had delayed for a few days to collect intelligence, mainly to make the plan more mature. But at this time, with the natives leading the way, the time to start the operation was becoming mature.

At this time, however, it was just over 5:30. According to the Convention, Niu Gensheng would come to ask him to deal with his official business at about 7:00.

He gently kisses Zhang Chunxue on the cheek. Li Yuanqing is getting ready to get active and have some breakfast to do business. However, he suddenly finds that Zhang Chunxue's long eyelashes are shaking and blinking, and his breath is also a little short.

Although she has disguised herself well on the surface, how can it escape Li Yuanqing's hot eyes?

Li Yuanqing but hey hey a smile: "don't worry, we haven't morning exercise yet?"

"Ah..."Zhang Chunxue wanted to say something else, but the indoor temperature soon became hot

At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Yuanqing had already cleaned up, had breakfast, and appeared in the conference room with a clear mind.

Zhang Chunxue is different from any wife and concubine before Li Yuanqing.

She was a regular army member of the Changsheng camp. She had undergone strict basic military training. She was in excellent physical condition. Even compared with Li Yuanqing, her physical strength was not inferior to that of Li Yuanqing

Although she is still a little green, far from knowing how to be a woman, Li Yuanqing believes that as long as he is more patient, this "little suet jade" will surely be brilliant by him.

Soon, all the heads of the Department were here.

Because yesterday's news was so exciting, their faces were full of energy and they were eager to start now.

After Niu Gensheng closed the door, Guan Canghai handed Li Yuanqing several pieces of paper with a smile, and said with a smile, "general, the battle plans are all here. Have a look."

Li Yuanqing nodded and quickly scanned.

Guan Canghai said with a smile, "you guys, I would like to wait for some more time. If the conditions are more abundant, we will prepare more fully before we start. But at this time, the conditions are ripe, so I am ready to ask the general to fight, and I will start today! In order to avoid a long night's dream! "

The generals all nodded.

At this time, Li Yuanqing also finished reading the battle plan and nodded with a smile: "we are short of time and heavy task. The redundant words, Ben will not say much! This time, there will be only one request, that is -- -- Wanjun thunder! "

All the officers stood upright and said, "yes!"

With one night's preparation in advance, everything was ready. Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not write any more. After the assignment, the generals quickly carried out the task. Half an hour later, the fleet set out on time.

According to the equipment at that time, Li Yuanqing not only had about 20 old Spanish warships, but also had Li Sansheng's side, a new Spanish Main warship and six or seven medium ships.

Unfortunately, because things could not be exposed to the sun for the time being, these ships of Li Sansheng could not participate in the battle at this time.

However, although the firepower of these 20 or so old Spanish warships was somewhat poor, it was basically full coverage firepower. In addition, the ammunition was sufficient, and the white soldiers and sailors were employed to fight against the aboriginal tribe of man eating sharks.

However, for the sake of safety, Li Yuanqing took 3000 soldiers and 30 main warships of the Ming army to ensure safety.

Huang Guoshan stayed at the dock and formed a line with Li Sansheng who was hiding in the Bay more than ten miles away. He defended the safety of the fleet and simply said goodbye to Zhang Baozhu's wives and concubines. At eight o'clock, the fleet left Brunei port on time and sailed to the North against the wind and rain.

At this time, although it was a storm and rainy season, there was no severe typhoon and tsunami. In addition, these aborigines led the way. Three days later, the sky was not bright, and the fleet arrived at the periphery of the small island of the cannibal shark Department on time.

What is different from Li Yuanqing's imagination is that it is not very close to the land, not to Li Yuanqing's imagination, but to the middle of the vast sea, surrounded by dense coral reefs.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered, here, here should not be the famous Maldives?

Although the day is not yet bright, but only with the light of the moon, the water is very clear, almost can easily see the bottom of the sea, people can't help but want to go down, try how deep the water is.

A Chinese translator said, "Li junmen, you must not have the idea of going into the water! The water here is very strange! It looks very shallow. In fact, it must be a few feet deep at least. What's more, this is a shark colony, smell the smell of blood will be surrounded! Those native dogs don't dare to go into the water easily

It's a few feet deep. It's at least ten meters.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, but he also reflected that Maldives was in the Indian Ocean. At this time, it might not have been exposed to the sea.

"There are so many reefs here. How can we get there?"

The Chinese translator said, "the local dog said that it was the best time to enter the island at the high tide. There was a small road ahead, and he would show us the way."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "you tell him to lead the way well, I have many rewards, but if you dare to be careful, I will clean his bones and feed the shark!"

"Yes

At this time, these natives had already realized that the tall Ming general in front of them could not be easily provoked.

Soon, they were more than a dozen soldiers with a knife against the neck, first on a small boat, in front of the road.

At this time, in the afterglow of the moonlight, the coral reefs were very dense to the naked eye. However, Li Yuanqing quickly found that 80% of the coral reefs were the refraction of the light, and the fleet hardly encountered any obstacles when walking in the path of the boat.

Through the coral reef about two miles, the sea suddenly opened up. In front of us, there appeared two islands about a few miles in size, like a small dumbbell.

"Li junmen, here we are! This is where the cannibal shark tribe isAt this time, the sky has been slightly bright, the sun raised its head from the East, has to break through the clouds, the clouds in the East against a red.

Li Yuanqing glanced around. The fleet had already spread out. Li Yuanqing suddenly chuckled: "let's go! Don't let go of a fish that has missed the net! "

"Yes
