Chapter 881: Return to Hong Kong
"This is the Ming Dynasty, this is the Ming soldiers!"
The storm finally passed, and the sea that had been violently raging for several hours returned to the image of a calm and obedient baby. Some of the pale white suns showed their heads from the thick clouds, and weakly landed the light on the sea. On the warships. Two warships turned a big bend above the sea and drove towards the opposite direction where the sun was setting. Many water birds chirped and chased the warships. From time to time, a few of them would land on the sails, and their little heads turned around and looked curiously at the uninvited guests of the sea.
Qin Feng stood on the top deck and looked at Weilan's endless sea. From time to time, huge fish would jump out of the sea, then fell heavily into the water, splashing a splash of water. He looked at all this in a daze, and he said, "With such a soldier, this blue will be ours after all."
"Your Majesty, the last general..." Zhou Li looked ashamed and was kicked hard by the horse monkey lying on the ground beside him, and his body flashed.
Qin Feng waved his hand with a smile: "You don't have to say anything, I know. General Zhou, above the sea, does such weather often happen?"
"It's not happening often." Zhou Li coughed lightly: "In such a season, there are not many storms like this, and it's just occasionally."
"So, my luck is really good." Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Zhou's killing stick is good. Look at these arrogant soldiers and generals, they have become soft-legged shrimps now. But give them some time and they can stand up."
"Yes, Your Majesty, their performance in the storm is impressive. No wonder the Ming army is invincible on the battlefield and is full of all their goals!" Zhou Li said in admiration.
"How long does it take to allow them to fight on board? And to find a second storm so that they can appreciate the power of the sea?" Qin Feng asked.
Zhou Li said suddenly: "Your Majesty, this season of storms is rare and there is no need for them anymore. As for how many of these soldiers can fight on the ship in a short period of time, it depends on them personally, not everyone is suitable."
"Well, they don't want to be sailors for a long time. As long as they can fight once or twice at sea, it's enough. With their combat effectiveness, I think that even if they can only exert 70% to 80% of their strength, it's enough to improve the pirates, right?" Qin Feng said.
"Your Majesty, you really want to go robbing with General Mo? If General Mo can do such a thing, General Mo can't do it!" Zhou Li smiled bitterly.
"Why can't you do it?" Qin Feng waved his hand boldly: "This sea is also the territory of my Ming Dynasty. Why are we robbing us when we go out? I want to eliminate pirates and keep this sea peaceful and peaceful. This is exactly the responsibility of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhou Li opened his mouth wide and looked at Qin Feng. It is rare to say that he could make robbery and eat bad things so righteous. But thinking about it on the other hand, he can't say that His Majesty the Emperor was wrong. However, if His Majesty's idea was so straight, he would be in a little trouble.
Several sailors carried several large buckets and walked onto the deck. The iron spoon in their hands hit the edge of the bucket with a bang, shouting loudly: "Brothers from the Death Camp, all of them are getting up and drinking a few sips of ginger soup to warm up!"
The previous snickering was full of admiration in his tone. These soldiers won the respect of these sailors with their actions, and not everyone can show this way in the storm.
"Drink your mother, my stomach is still in a state of turmoil. If you drink it, you have to spit it out!" A soldier lay on the deck with his back and cursed in anger.
"Brother, it doesn't matter if you drink it and vomit it again. If you don't drink it and sweat, you will be like a chicken in this season, but you will easily get sick!" The sailor said with a smile. "I just vomited, who hasn't vomited yet!"
"Damn it, just drink it." The soldier raised his head and said sternly: "Even if you vomit, you can't let your shrimp underestimate Luo!"
"You're right, drink it." Groups of soldiers climbed up with each other and walked to the edge of the bucket. The sailors smiled and took the bowl and scooped a bowl of ginger soup for each person.
Looking at the following scene, Qin Feng smiled and said, "It is actually very simple for the soldiers to become friends. You just need to win the respect of the other party through your own behavior. General Zhou, let's go down and drink a bowl of ginger soup. Feel, little monkey, can you stand up?"
"Of course I can stand up." Mahou got up and shook the water beads on his body. "It's just that I'm not so uncomfortable when I lie down."
On the Pier of Baoqing Port, the horses shone south like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth on the wet ground, looking up from time to time to look at the empty sea. The storm had already disappeared, but the powerful force of the storm that lasted for several hours made everybody in Baoqing Port feel extremely frightened, not because of the power of nature, but because when the sea was angry, the emperor was in the storm.
"Mr. Ma Jun, Zhou Li is an experienced navy general, so he should be fine." Although Yu Cong was uneasy, he was still very confident in Zhou Li. Seeing Ma Xiangnan anxious, he stepped forward to comfort him.
"You'd better pray for everything to be safe. If something really happens, no one of us will live." Ma Xiangnan looked at Yu Cong with a gloomy face. "It's going to be dark soon. If the ship hasn't come back before dark, send all the ships out to find His Majesty's whereabouts."
"Yes, Lord Ma." Yu Cong was also talking to Ma Xiangnan, and his heart was a little upset.
A warm cheer suddenly broke out from above the dock, "It's back, the battleship is back!" The soldiers of the suicide camp who were left in the harbor waved their arms and cheered loudly.
Ma Xiangnan twisted his head quickly. Sure enough, on the distant sea surface, two black dots were approaching quickly. In a blink of an eye, the warship's hull appeared clearly in everyone's sight. The sails on three sides ate the wind and protruded forward bulging. The warship quickly approached Baoqing Port Pier at an extremely fast speed.
"I'm finally back!" Yu Cong suddenly felt like he had a thousand pounds of weight removed, but his strength was almost drained from the air. He staggered and almost collapsed on the ground.
"The warship is back, and your Majesty must have nothing to do!" Ma Xiangnan glared at him and strode towards the dock. Yu Cong was stunned and hurriedly followed.
Amid the huge cheers, the warship leaned onto the dock, the huge iron anchor fell into the water, and the large cables were thrown onto the dock, and Ma Xiangnan saw Qin Feng standing on the top of the first battleship at a glance, and then he let out a long breath of turbid air.
The springboard was set up on the dock, and Qin Feng walked down with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" Ma Xiangnan bowed to Qin Feng and was about to speak, but when he saw Zhou Li walking down with Qin Feng, he was furious and rushed to Zhou Li's front. He stretched out his hands and grabbed Zhou Li's neck, "You bastard, dare you to take such a risk. I will strangle you to death and strangle you to death."
Zhou Li is a military general, Ma Xiangnan is a literati. The thick neck of the one-eyed Dragon General was not something Ma Xiangnan could hold. However, Zhou Li knew Ma Xiangnan's identity, but he didn't want to resist. Anyway, Ma Xiangnan's chicken-like power could not hurt him, so he let Ma Xiangnan shake his neck and glar at him.
Qin Feng smiled and reached out and gently brushed Ma Xiangnan's hand. Ma Xiangnan's hands were numb, and Qin Feng held his hand and dragged it aside: "Mr. Ma, it's not about General Zhou's business, it's my own experience. This trip is worth this trip!"
Pointing to the soldiers of the Death Camp who were walking down the difficult springboard behind him, "Look, these are soldiers of the Death Camp, but after experiencing the storm at the sea, they became like this. It turns out that they are like a mountain."
"Your Majesty, you are in the Ming Dynasty and you must not do such a dangerous move again." Ma Xiangnan finally realized what he should say, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone Your Majesty's Nine Five Lords?"
"This matter will be discussed later. You are here too. We will discuss it carefully in the evening." Qin Feng smiled and turned to look at Zhou Li: "These soldiers seem to have to rest for at least one day. You can arrange for them to go out to sea again the day after tomorrow, and strive to allow them to at least fight at sea in a short period of time."
Zhou Li bowed and said, "The last general will receive the order."
"Your Majesty!" Ma Xiangnan wanted to say something again. Qin Feng had dragged him away. "Zhou Li, after everything is arranged, come to see me and tell the Ma Jun Ma Jun Ma about your plan. I believe that Ma Jun Ma will be interested. Yu Cong, come here too."
The horse Xiangnan, who was dragged by Qin Feng, looked around: "Your Majesty, where is Master Huo Guang and Huo?"
Qin Feng smiled: "He vomited very hard. I'm afraid he has to slowly come out on the boat first."
"If I had known this, I would have let He Rentu follow His descendant. That guy grew up on the water. He was not afraid of this storm. Although Huo Guang's martial arts cultivation is high, he is completely unaware of water." Ma Xiangnandao.
"Why are you here? Have those refugees been resettled?" Qin Feng asked.
"Changyang County has been preparing for this work for a long time. The necessary things such as houses and food have been prepared long ago, so it will be resettled quickly. Anyway, our Changyang County has been sending people. This time, when we arrived, all the people were rushing to ask for them, especially this time, the people who came with craftsmanship, and the counties were even more robbed, so they almost fought in my government office. It is easy to place these people, but it is really difficult to appease the county magistrates in various places!" Ma Xiangnan sighed: "If it weren't for this delay, I arrived two days ago, how could I let Your Majesty take this risk?"
"You're here, you can't stop me!" Qin Feng smiled. "Let's go, let's talk about it later."
