Zhu Youjian is not talking nonsense.

In fact, since Zhu Youjian was the first vassal king to respond to the title of Emperor Chongzhen and was also the most active vassal king to go out to sea, Emperor Chongzhen treated Zhu Youjian with preferential treatment in many things.

For example, when it comes to marching and fighting, Emperor Chongzhen not only personally led Zhu Youjian to analyze the situation in Shaanxi, but also specially asked Bater, Liu Xingzuo and others to give guidance to Zhu Youjian.

On the battlefield, people who do not take their lives seriously can survive, while those who are timid and afraid of death are often the fastest death wave.

If you don’t take your own life seriously, it is even more impossible to take other people’s lives seriously.

The more you are afraid of death, the more likely you are to die early. If you want to survive, Murphy's Law will definitely teach them to be human.

Zhu Zhuohong also knew that what Zhu Youjian said made sense, but he was a little unhappy no matter what he was doing.

Zhu Cunji nodded and said in agreement: "Uncle Wang said very well. After all, there is no eyebrow in swords and guns. If you are afraid, you will be timid first. If you have ten percent of your strength, you can only make 10% of it."

After saying that, Zhu Cunji changed his mind again: "But I don't need to visit the battle formation in person, I just need to use a good person."

Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhu Cunji with approval and said, "Cunji is right. As long as we use the right person, we don't need to rush forward in person. Even if we rush forward in person, we have guards to protect our left and right, so how can we be so dangerous?

Besides, since you and I are the royal family, sometimes you and me cannot sacrifice for the country.”

Saying for the country is said to express the words, Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong's faces are thrusting.

The Dog Emperor said to have a seal, and he ran to the sea with his threes.

Not to mention how much sin I suffered before and how much gold and silver I lost, at least my life was almost thrown to the sea.

If this is not considered sacrifice for the country, is it just to throw away your life to be considered sacrifice?

Anyway, Zhu Cunji and Zhuohong think that their life is quite precious, and this flower world is also pretty good. At least some beautiful ladies are not worth losing their life in this way.

Zheng Zhilong thought so too.

Although Zheng Zhilong said very well when he comforted Zhu Youjian and the three vassal kings just now, it seemed that it was not a big deal, but what about it?

Just like a person who drinks water, he knows the temperature and heat.

Before the dragon sucked water, Zheng Zhilong ordered to run south.

In fact, the fleet also perfectly executed this command, running southwards with the strong wind, and fuckingly didn't know wherever they ran.

If we say under normal circumstances, we can calculate some of the approximate amount of running by speed, but this time we will have some pitfalls not only wind but also waves. In the end, we don’t know where you run, and we can’t even calculate how far you run.

What makes Zheng Zhilong the most trouble is water.

It is enough to drink half of the water you bring with you, but if you can't find the land, the water will be drunk sooner or later.

What to do after drinking it?

Do you drink sea water? The faster you die.

What’s even more fucking is that in addition to being able to identify the direction with the sun, the entire sea looks like a damn side. Which side is north? Which side is south?

Zheng Zhilong even doubted whether he and his people were sailing in the direction of the sun, and would they run to Zizhu Island where Guanyin Bodhisattva lives in the South China Sea.

While salvaging the stern ship that was overturned by Long's water, Zheng Zhihu also came from the second lucky ship to the flagship where Zheng Zhilong was located.

The first sentence Zheng Zhihu asked made Zheng Zhilong angry: "Brother, where are we now?"

Looking at Zheng Zhihu sideways, Zheng Zhilong said angrily: "Ask me, who am I going to ask? You have to ask the dragon who absorbs water just now, and ask where he got us!"

Although Zheng Zhihu was simple-minded, he was not stupid. He smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Brother, don't you be angry, aren't you also anxious?"

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong's face was a little better, Zheng Zhihu asked again: "Brother, where are we going downstairs?"

Zheng Zhilong snorted in angrily, "I don't know! I can't even figure out where I am now, how can I go? Anyway, we were running south just now, so just turn around and head to the northwest."

Zheng Zhihu said curiously: "Shouldn't we go directly north and look for supplies?"

Zheng Zhifeng, who also came from another boat, smiled and said, "We are going to India. We are going north and we will run to the Nanyang Pass? What's the use? As for supplies, what's not available on the sea?"

After hearing what Zheng Zhifeng said, Zheng Zhihu knew what this guy wanted to do.

Now my brothers are the Ming navy, and I have come from a serious pirate. Can I call him pirates without robbing at sea?

There were so many ships going to the Ming Dynasty by the Western barbarians. They just robbed a few of them and then destroyed their bodies. Who knew that they were their brothers doing it?

The vast sea can cover up all sins that should not appear in the world.

Zheng Zhihu, who thought this matter was reliable, simply responded: "Well, I will do this matter."

Zheng Zhilong snorted and said, "Don't do it, you can pick up the brothers on the stern ship first, and you can save as much as you can."

That being said, but even Zheng Zhilong himself didn't have much hope that Long was so damn cruel to absorb water this time. Now he didn't even know where the tail ship was. He could only rely on the floating objects and corpses floating on the sea to confirm the approximate location.

The final result was actually similar to what Zheng Zhilong expected. The entire ship was photographed on the stern ship that was not alive at all.

Among the 1,120 soldiers and 300 sailors, none of them survived.

Even a few hundred bodies were salvaged, and no one was found in the remaining ones.

In fact, whether to salvage or not is not very meaningful. Unlike on land, if a body is found on land, you can also bring the ashes back after cremation.

But at sea?

If you have to take it back for burial, it will basically rot and smelly, making it easier to breed plague.

So no matter what the reason is, these corpses must be buried in the sea again.

Unless there is land not far away, it can be cremated in time.

Zheng Zhilong thought about it and thought it would be better. Even if he kept sailing north, it would probably take four or five days to see the land.

And the weather was so hot that it was like a dead dog. There was still one of the corpses of these brothers who could see them?

When the sun travels westward and is about to sink to the sea level, the entire sea surface has been dyed golden and looks extremely magnificent.

Who would have thought that a few hours ago, a large ship with more than a thousand people sank on this sea surface, and none of them survived?

The power of heaven and earth is even beyond words or measurements, and a thought arises and a thought dies.

The subordinates who searched for the tail ship also came back to report to Zheng Zhilong. Apart from salvaging 769 corpses, they gained nothing else.

Or there are still some wooden boards of boats, and there is nothing left.

He took off the helmet on his head, Zheng Zhilong sighed deeply and ordered: "Prepare white silk, wrap up the corpses of his brothers, and I will go and go."

These brothers are all buried in the sea. Now they are salvaged and finally they will sink into the sea.

However, there are three vassal kings on the ship, so the funeral requires asking the three vassal kings for instructions.

After all, these brothers died for these three vassal kings.

After arriving at the cabin where Zhu Youjian was, Zheng Zhilong briefly told Zhu Youjian and the other two, and then asked for instructions: "Now the bodies of these brothers have been salvaged. What should be done? I also need to ask the three princes to show me."

If we look at the title, King Zhu Youjian of Tang and King Zhu Cunji of Qin are undoubtedly the two highest. As for King Qing Zhu Zhuohong, although they are also King Yizi, they are incomparable to King Qing.

However, the title of King Zhu Youjian of Tang was high and his seniority was King Qin and King Qing, so among the three, King Zhu Youjian of Tang was the leader.

After hearing what Zheng Zhilong said, Zhu Youjian said: "After all, these soldiers are for state affairs. I wonder if they can be salvaged and taken back for burial?"

Zheng Zhilong bowed and said, "Reporting to the prince, if he is angry today, it will take as long as four or five days to land. I really can't take it back for burial. In addition, those brothers who cannot be found are indeed not found."

Zhu Youjian said with a nod, "Since that's the case, then let's do it according to General Zheng's wishes, and I will also go to see the soldiers off."

Zhu Youjian did not go directly to the deck, but instead ordered the eunuchs to prepare their pens and ink, and wrote a tribute, and then brought Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong to the deck.

At this time, the soldiers on the flagship deck were busy picking off the identity cards on the hundreds of corpses, and wrapping the corpses with white cloth.

The funeral is simple.

There were no three sacrifices, only cannons were seen off. The string windows of the nine lucky ships opened, and together, more than 200 cannons rang out in turn.

Saying off to the heroic spirit.

Then, after the simple and even simple but solemn etiquette, these 769 corpses were sank into the sea.

Zhu Youjian opened the sacrificial text, and even the eunuch was useless. He read it directly: "On July 15, 2018, the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's overseas advance army encountered a dragon sucking water and overturned a ship. One thousand four hundred soldiers were killed. Zhu Youjian, the Tang Dynasty king of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cunji, the Qin Dynasty king, Zhu Zhuohong, and the navy soldiers sacrificed to the sea together, saying:

Alas!

Expeditions overseas and expand our territory. The roads are ragged to open the sea.

The only thing about the founding of a country is that it is difficult. First encounter strong winds, it will suffer from the difficulties of the country.

The wind is strong, the tide is surging. The blood is blue for thousands of years, and the model is still bright.

The bones turned into iron, and the monument became a tomb. It motivated Hou Kun and expanded its territory and boundaries.

The wind and clouds of the South China Sea, the rain and thunder are roaring, the heroic soul of the Ming Dynasty, and the eternal capital of all nations.

Those who miss you come back, the green mountains are lush, mourning my heroic spirit, and waving the frost.

In the sky is the stem, in the earth is Kun, and we will never forget our will. The nation is Kunlun.

The sky is cloudy and sheds tears, and the sea is looking around and it is plain.

Now I will tell the hero that Hu will not return?

This heart is not lost, and the sacrifices and wine are rituals. It is clear that they know and appreciate the fragrance of my heart.

The spirit is not ignorant, come and taste it. Alas, I am so sad, I wish you a favor!"

After reading a sacrifice, Zhu Youjian, who had tears in his eyes, put the sacrifice on the torch and ignited it directly into the sea, shouting: "Dragon Prince! Is the sacrifice of my Ming soldiers delicious?"
