The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The Chen family raised money faster than Li Yuanqing imagined.

That night, just arrived at midnight, Chen Yougen sent someone to inform Li Yuanqing, one million and two cash silver, they are ready.

Even, they didn't borrow money from others. It was just the reserve silver in several foreign banks and banks.

However, if you withdraw so much money at once, you must have an appointment process, so that foreign banks and money banks can be prepared. But the Chen family is so hasty that they can withdraw cash smoothly. Naturally, the implication is self-evident.

The night was dark and the sky was gloomy.

The fine and fragmentary raindrops, accompanied by the sad sea breeze, make people's mood, can not help but also some depression, as if the sky and the earth are to be torn apart.

By the wharf, Li Yuanqing stood under an oilcloth in the bow of the ship, quietly watching the distant ethereal and deep sea.

Beside, Xiaohe is carefully helping Li Yuanqing peel mango.

When they came to Southeast Asia, Li Yuanqing's wives and concubines soon fell in love with these tropical fruits. Every day, their relatives and soldiers went to buy a large cart.

Especially mango, cheap, but also very delicious, long and lovely, very please these women Li Yuanqing.

Xiaohe's skill of peeling mango has already been very mature. Not long ago, an orange mango has been peeled by her, leaving only fresh and juicy flesh.

"My Lord."

Li Yuanqing a smile, open his mouth, let Xiaohe carefully put mango into his mouth.

After finishing, Xiaohe looked at Li Yuanqing with joy and said, "master, is it delicious? This is the sweetest fruit your maid has ever eaten. How about it? "

Looking at Xiaohe's proud little face, Li Yuanqing smiles, and his mood suddenly brightens a lot, "it's OK. However, it's a little raw. You should eat less, or you will have trouble with diarrhea. "

Xiao He's face turned red. He was just about to say something. At this time, the sound of "Deng Deng Deng" came from the deck beside him. Niu Gensheng ran up quickly.

"General, everything has been dealt with. The kerosene has been transported to more than 20 ships, and Chen's family is also well prepared. At noon tomorrow, we will escort them to the trading place

Li Yuanqing nodded his head and suddenly laughed. He patted Niu Gensheng on the shoulder: "Gensheng, it's hard. Go and have a good rest. In the middle of tomorrow's Mao season, we will officially gather! "

"Yes

Niugensheng left, Xiaohe has peeled a mango, coquettish way: "Ye, eat another one."

Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand to her waist and gave her a kiss on her pretty face. Then he ate the mango in her little hand and said with a smile, "Xiao He, tonight, you will sleep with me. Don't forget to wake up tomorrow morning

The first half sentence, Xiaohe is also full of joy, but after listening to the second half, she can not help pouting up her small mouth.

However, to accompany Li Yuanqing, sooner or later, there will be ripe time, busy clever way: "yes, sir."

……

On the big bed of the room, Xiao He beside him is like a kitten. Leaning against Li Yuanqing's arms, he has been sleeping deeply for a long time.

But although Li Yuanqing is in the bosom of Wenxiang nephrite, he does not have the slightest desire and sleepiness.

Sages said: "do not be happy with things, not sad by yourself."

However, even to this extent of Li Yuanqing, he still can't do it!

Tomorrow's battle is really crucial!

It's like the common people of later generations in China, who fight with tunnels and mines, and face the 38 big covers of hard Gang little devils.

If you can carry it, whether it's a dragon or a worm, it's up to you!

Looking out of the window, Li Yuanqing sniffs Xiaohe's green silk, hugs her waist, and slowly closes her eyes

……

Li Yuanqing got up before dawn the next day.

Although Li Yuanqing's action has been very light, Xiao He's nerves have been tense, and he was suddenly awakened by fright. Seeing that Li Yuanqing has got up, he said in a hurry: "ah. Master, maidservant, some of the maids overslept. What time is it now? Isn't it a mistake? "

Li Yuanqing a smile, big hand intimately pinched her small face, "no mistake. You can sleep more. When you come back tomorrow, I'll take you shopping and have a good meal

After all, Xiaohe is still a little girl. She is very happy and smiles and sends a kiss to Li Yuanqing.

After a brief cleaning up, Li Yuanqing quickly stepped off the ship and arrived at the wharf.

Here, Chen's side has already been prepared. Dozens of domestic servants, together with two or three hundred natives, began to fight against the boat one by one.

Seeing Li Yuanqing get off the boat, Chen Yougen hurriedly and quickly steps up, "Li Jun gate."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Mr. Chen, how are you getting ready?"

Chen Yougen said, "Li junmen, it's almost all right. As soon as the ship is loaded, we will go to the trading place. "

Li Yuanqing looked up at the sky, "Mr. Chen, today, I'm afraid it will rain! When did they say they would come? "Chen Yougen busy way: "these dog miscellaneous hair also did not tell the truth, let's go to the trading place to wait."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "it's OK. Have you had breakfast yet? Come and eat with Yuanqing

Chen Yougen at this time where there is the idea of eating breakfast, but Li Yuanqing made a speech, he is not easy to refute Li Yuanqing's face, busy nodding.

Breakfast is very simple, but the nutrition is very rich, there are fish and shrimp, the taste is good.

Chen Yougen obviously had no appetite, but Li Yuanqing had a big appetite and ate five or six beef pancakes.

Chen Yougen said with a smile: "Li junmen, it's better to be young! When I was young, I could eat five

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, tomorrow morning, I'll treat you to this beef pancake again. I promise you can also eat five."

Chen Yougen was stunned. For a moment, he also responded. His tears could not help but flow out. He arched Li Yuanqing and said, "Li junmen, everything, everything is up to you!"

Li Yuanqing emphatically nodded, "don't worry, Yuan Qing will do his best!"

……

A million taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

Even with so much labor, by the time everything was loaded, it was past nine o'clock.

Li Yuanqing did not hesitate, a wave of hands, more than a dozen Ming army ships, sailing toward the depths of the ocean.

Before, when negotiating the place of trade, Jack, the executioner, had a lot of problems.

However, because of Li Yuanqing's guidance, Chen Yougen also bit to death. The silver must be escorted by Li Yuanqing's ship, and the trading place is set at a neutral place.

Although the executioner Jack's representatives were very dissatisfied, they agreed to come down when they saw that the Chen family's silver was ready. In addition, Li Yuanqing's broken ships could carry people and goods, but they had no combat effectiveness at all.

In this way, everything is on track.

The only variable is that today's weather is not very good, the sky has been gloomy, I don't know when it will rain.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the fleet arrived at the small bay of the trading island on time, berthed the fleet close to the Bay, and lit three beacon fires on the high beach.

It's a trade signal.

In this era, navigation is actually similar to aviation. Once the channel is determined, merchant ships, fishing boats, including warships, will not easily covet and change the channel during non war time.

Because of the great changes in the sea, you may not be able to ensure safety in the waterway, let alone not to mention that you are not on the channel.

In addition, there are few fishermen going out to fish during the storm season. Although the island is very close to Brunei's mother port, there is no need to worry about being noticed.

Not to mention jack, the executioner, is almost the same as the official fleet of several major powers in this area. Who dares not open his eyes and "jump the gods" under his eyes?

But to their silence, Jack the executioner's fleet did not show up from 2 p.m. until noon the next day.

There was no sign of a ship, including the nearby patrols and scouts.

On this side of the temporary camp on the beach, Chen Yougen was already a little anxious. Last night, he had hardly closed his eyes all night, and his eyes were red with blood. He paced back and forth under the shade of trees.

"Well, these dog days, don't they come? This, this... "

Li Yuanqing handed Chen Yougen a pot of wine with a smile: "master Chen, don't worry. We are already waiting here. Jack the executioner must have known that he would come! "

At this time, the backwardness of communication means is doomed. Many things that have been planned may have unpredictable variables because of the communication gap.

The Spanish warships led by Huang Guoshan and Li Sansheng could not appear in the nearby waters. They could only crouch in the Gulf of the opposite mainland and judge the timing according to their feelings.

As a result, the children on this side of the Gulf will have to bear more pressure.

But with Li Yuanqing sitting in the town himself, the children will have the backbone. Even if there is pressure, they are not afraid.

After all, these young men are veterans. They have been following Li Yuanqing for so many years. What battles have they never seen?

But at this time, even with Li Yuanqing's comfort, Chen Yougen's mood is still not high, no spirit.

Li Yuanqing is no longer reluctant.

This kind of thing, just can rely on oneself to stand up!

Chen Yougen is more than 40 years old. He can mix up to the present scale. His heart is not so fragile on the surface.

Until evening, almost when Chen Yougen was about to despair, a huge shadow of the fleet suddenly appeared in front of the bay.

By the afterglow of the sunset, the white flag of the skull on the black bottom is like a devil crawling out of the hell. It's gloomy and ferocious.

Ma shiye couldn't wait at this time. He quickly called out, "Li junmen, master, here we are, here we are!"

"Ah? Where is it? "Chen Yougen was overjoyed and looked forward.

But when he saw the horror scene like a mirage in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Li Yuanqing also has some waves in his heart.

Although the fleet of the executioner jack is not a regular army, judging from its structure and formation, it is afraid that it is more elite than the regular army!

"Mr. Chen, here we are Li Yuanqing looks at Chen Yougen with a smile.

"Ah?"

Chen Yougen came to his senses and said, "Li junmen, what should we do?"

Li Yuanqing a smile: "we are here waiting for them to come."

Chen Yougen responded to this, and quickly called the slaves around him and said, "hurry up, fly the white flag!"

The white flag is also a signal.

For a moment, a dozen of Chen family slaves were standing on the beach waving the white flag in their hands.

At this time, there seems to be more than a dozen of Hangmen in front of the boat, Jack, to explore the road.

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly and watched all this quietly.

If this dog day's not on the road, then, can only borrow the night hard spell!

Fortunately, after the boat in front of us explored the way, Jack the executioner's fleet of ships, along the central entrance of the Bay, slowly drove in!
