Eight hundred and seventieth nine chapters: killing the power stick
Zhou Li carried his clothes and returned to his yard with heavy steps. As soon as he entered the door, he was immediately surrounded. This afternoon, Zhou Li went to apologize to the emperor, and his family and subordinates gathered here worriedly, waiting for the news. For them, every minute and every second of waiting was an unspeakable torment.
"It's okay!" Looking at everyone, Zhou Li didn't wait for them to speak, and then said directly, "Everyone is separated, everyone goes back to their own home, why are you getting together?"
When they heard that it was okay, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and left Zhou Li's house with ease. They all came to join their families. If there was a big deal, they would really be a big deal.
"Father, your clothes?" Zhou Yangfan asked in surprise as he looked at the clothes he was holding in Zhou Li's hand.
"I'm wearing His Majesty's clothes." Zhou Li took a deep breath: "I knelt outside His Majesty's room today to apologize. His clothes were wet, so His Majesty changed his clothes for me."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yangfan couldn't help but smile: "Father, it seems that Your Majesty still values you very much."
"With both kindness and power, the emperor's will be unpredictable!" Zhou Li didn't have much joy, and strode back into the house, changed his clothes, and said to his wife: "Clean up Your Majesty's clothes and find a special house to offer."
Seeing that his husband was fine, he was still coming back in His Majesty's clothes, this was naturally a great grace. Zhou Li's wife, both smiling happily and responded. Today, the whole family was worried about their fate. By this time, they had not even eaten supper!
There were only father and son left in the room. Zhou Yangfan made tea for his father and handed it to his hands. Looking at his father's worried model, he couldn't help but say, "Father, since all the past has been explained clearly, Your Majesty will not blame him. Then our past is naturally completely erased. Moreover, Your Majesty is ambitious to build a new naval master, so he naturally has to rely on you, Master Dad. Why do you still seem to be so worried?"
Zhou Li took a sip of tea and sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed ambitious and ambitious. In the eyes of my father, he is a rare wise king who can rely on. In time, if there is no big mistake, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a famous army."
"Father, isn't this exactly what you are looking forward to? To be honest, although the Ming Navy still has only two warships, these two warships are undoubtedly extremely advanced. My son never expected that Yu Cong actually built the model ship he sold to his father back then and made a lot of improvements. In his son's opinion, these two warships should be the most advanced warships in the world. Although there are only two now, there will be ten or hundreds in the future. At that time, who else can be the opponent of the Ming Navy in this sea? As the commander of this navy, you will definitely become famous outside the domain. This is many times better than those land dunks!" Zhou Yangfan said with great enthusiasm.
"What you are talking about is the future, not the present." Zhou Li said with some worries: "The current Baoqing Shipyard can only be launched into the water with all its efforts a year. This requires the strong investment of the imperial court. It is conceivable that the Ming Dynasty's attention is not on the sea. Your Majesty now has a mind to unify the continent. If you want a hundred warships, I am afraid that I will not see them in my life."
"Father, you always have hope, right? This is always much better than before. Even if there are only ten such warships, coupled with some other ships, it is enough for you to roam this sea area, my father." Zhou Yangfan said.
"I have some tricks to take advantage of it and suggest to Your Majesty that you can go to the sea to find those pirates with weak power, destroy them, and seize their warships, so as to quickly strengthen the strength of the Ming Navy."
"Father, this is a clever plan!" Zhou Yangfan's eyes lit up. "If Your Majesty agrees to this strategy, then we can show our skills. Although the pirate warships are not as good as these two warships, they are strong and it is a shortcut to steal them! But we are not enough sailors to act as warriors now, so we have to wait for a long time. Even if we start recruiting combat sailors from now on, we will probably have to train for at least one year in the first half of the year."
Zhou Li took a deep breath: "Your Majesty agreed. Not only did you agree, but you also had to get on the boat and go out to sea with us. And the sailors who acted as fighting were drawn from the Fire Death Camp of Your Majesty's personal guard camp. When I left, Your Majesty had already ordered his personal guard general Mahou to select the water-like soldiers."
Zhou Yangfan was immediately stunned.
"Your Majesty wants to get on the boat in person?" he asked blankly.
"Yes, Your Majesty wants to get on the boat in person." Zhou Li shook his head in annoyed, "You said my mind has entered the water, why do you offer such a strategy to Your Majesty if you have nothing to do? Water combat is more uncertain than land combat. If you can't fight on land, you can run away. With His Majesty's master's skills, no one can stop him, but once you get to the sea, the sea is vast. Where can we run if we fail? At that time, the Zhou clan will be destined to be exterminated."
"I will never agree!" Zhou Yangfan said firmly as he heard the relaxed and crisp laughter of his wives, concubines and children coming from behind.
Zhou Li seemed helpless: "Your Majesty has a very strong temperament. Once you make up your mind, you will not be able to change it. People like him will regard difficulties as nothing. This is related to the experience of the emperor's hard work until now. But Your Majesty doesn't understand naval battles at all. That Mr. Le was a wise man, and immediately knelt down and begged Your Majesty to take back Cheng's orders, but Your Majesty ignored him at all. How do you say I refuse or how do you refuse? Your Majesty will not give me any chance to refuse."
The room fell into silence, leaving only the heavy breathing of two men.
After a while, Zhou Yangfan said: "Father, I can only think of one way to let Your Majesty retreat."
"What can I do to make Your Majesty retreat? Your Majesty is tough. What difficulties can you stump him and let him take it back to life?" Zhou Li said distressedly.
"Father, there is nothing we can do about your Majesty, but even if those guards who are on board as warriors are familiar with the nature of the water, they may only swim in the big rivers in their lives. They are afraid that they will only practice swimming in small ponds. How can they imagine the power of the sea?" Zhou Yangfan said slowly.
"What's your idea?" After hearing this, Zhou Li was excited.
"Father, there will be storms coming these days." Zhou Yangfan walked to the window, opened the window, and looked at the dark sky: "You go and tell Your Majesty that to fight on the boat, the guards need to get on the boat for some adaptive training first. At least, why not dizzy? If you get on the boat, you will vomit and diarrhea, and you will not stand firmly, and you don't have the strength to draw your sword, how can you fight? Even if the emperor is the lord of a master, the ship in Shanghai is not very good, and he encounters bad weather again."
"Good idea!" Zhou Li jumped up suddenly, "As long as the personal soldiers were all sank on the boat, His Majesty would naturally give up this idea. I'll tell His Majesty now."
"Father, you are really concerned and confused!" Zhou Yangfan grabbed Zhou Li, "You can't wait to find the emperor now. As a smart person as smart as His Majesty, I'm afraid you will immediately doubt your intentions. Now, you have a good meal, drink a few cups to celebrate, and then have a good sleep. Tomorrow, you will see His Majesty the Emperor, and make this request with His Majesty solemnly, so that your Majesty will not make His Majesty suspicious. I have been observing the celestial phenomena these two days, and I guess the storm will come from the day after tomorrow. At that time, let the arrogant soldiers of the guard camp taste the taste of the sea."
The father and son looked at each other and laughed. Who would know better than the one who was a ship in Shanghai when they first encountered a storm?
Two days later, the storm came as scheduled. On the dock that had been silent for several days, it suddenly became lively. Eight hundred soldiers from the personal guard camp were selected from thousands of fire death camps and acted as sailors, preparing to board the ship for several days of intensive training.
Qin Feng deeply agreed with Zhou Li's proposal, so he naturally agreed to everything. He tried hard to persuade him, and even made a tantrum in front of Qin Feng, was sent away by Qin Feng in the name of sending a letter to the queen. He was not upset, and Qin Feng was determined to get on the boat and leave.
Zhou Li looked up at the sky and saw that the storm would arrive as scheduled this afternoon. At that time, these heroic and upright soldiers will turn into soft-legged shrimps at that time. Without the soldiers, why does His Majesty still go out to sea with him? He feels proud and looks extremely relaxed on his face.
"Brothers, get on the boat and get up the anchor!" he shouted loudly.
The sailors responded happily, without going on the springboard, and climbed up flexibly like monkeys, like thick cables. In a moment, they were all in their place.
"Your Majesty, please get on the boat!" Zhou Li bowed and gave in. Qin Feng smiled and walked onto the springboard. Huo Guang naturally accompanied him. The eight hundred soldiers divided into two groups and set foot on two warships.
With the long horns, the huge iron anchor was squeezed from the water, and a side sail rose in half. The two warships slowly left the dock and headed towards the distant sea.
Ma Xiangnan arrived at Baoqing Port after the sea ship left for half a day. Baoqing Port was under Changyang County and His Majesty was in Baoqing Port. Of course he got it. After hurriedly dealing with some anxious government affairs, he rushed to Baoqing Port, but heard that His Majesty had actually gone out to sea with the ship.
Listening to the howling wind outside the house and looking at the huge waves of the sky rising from the sea, Ma Xiangnan was furious and grabbed Yu Cong's collar and roared angrily: "Why don't you stop Your Majesty? Even if Your Majesty doesn't listen, you can't let Your Majesty go to the sea with your legs."
Yu Cong had a bitter face, "Mr. Ma, I want to hold it, but why can I hold it? Even Eunuch Le was driven away by His Majesty!"
