At this time, Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that when we are here, the one who guards is the Jingshi behind us, and the one who guards is our wife and children, Your Majesty and my mother."
Those new soldiers, they should be very calm now, they have been through a hundred battles, but this time it is a real risk, the younger brother wants to take him to live. ” Saying that, Ye Chunqiu's eyes were a little firm.
Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, how can he not know Ye Chunqiu's kindness, and the tension in his heart has gradually decreased a lot.
Someone had already plugged Wang Hanzhong's mouth that kept screaming in pain with stinky socks, but the two gentlemen and ministers drank tea quietly.
In this way, he sat idly until the fourth watch, and the rooster crowed.
Zhu Houzhao stretched his waist and stood up, and said with a smile: "I still plan to sleep, hey, it seems that I can't sleep now, but now I am very energetic." ” He stood up excitedly, looked at Ye Chunqiu and continued: "Will the Francophile really come?"
Although he usually has an instinctive trust in Ye Chunqiu, Zhu Houzhao still lacks confidence, and he really hopes that Ye Chunqiu will give him a positive answer.
Ye Chunqiu also suddenly got up, pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and suddenly became vigorous, his eyes suddenly sharpened a little, and said: "Come or not, you have to make a desperate bet." ” After that, Ye Chunqiu opened the door and said outside, "Someone." ” Obviously, there have been people guarding outside, and at this time, a new soldier of Zhenguo said, "Here." ” Ye Chunqiu ordered without hesitation: "Let all the living beings prepare and assemble." ” Not far away, there is no sound of bamboo whistle, this time the assembly, obviously different from the past, the place where the new army of Zhenguo is stationed, is just a few inns nearby, more than a dozen people in a guest room, staggering, Wang Shouren went to knock on the door first, these pillows and waiting for the people did not take off their armor at all, so they immediately dispersed, hurriedly called everyone up, and then countless people were wearing stars and hanging the moon, gathering at the city gate, the garrison of the city gate has quietly opened the city gate after being controlled by the Jinyi guard, and more and more people are gathering here.
The people who arrived, each checking the rifle and ammunition in their hands, everyone was silent, today everyone was not wearing plate armor, but a very ordinary military uniform, long coat and trousers, and leather boots under their feet, which were customized with rifles, and in front of the musket of the Franc machine, the protection of plate armor obviously had no meaning.
This plate armor has always been worn on the bodies of the new army members of Zhenguo, and now once the plate armor is removed, it gives them a feeling of being as light as a swallow, as if the whole person is light and fluttering.
In foot drills, plate armor and iron boots have become training objects, only during drills, everyone needs to wear heavy plate armor, and when it comes to real combat, everyone is very relaxed.
When everyone was gathered, they began to whisper the count, and then waited with bated breath in the dark.
They are like a group of cheetahs looking for prey, they seem to be extremely patient, and no one complains in the slightest.
Wang Shouren was also anxiously waiting for the news, at the Tanggu port, there were already Jinyi guards lurking, as long as there was news there, the Kong Ming lantern would be raised immediately.
And now, the night sky overhead is full of stars, such a beautiful day, but no one wants to appreciate it, everyone's mood is different, but no one puts their mind on the dazzling stars in the sky.
Da-da-da-da The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and after a while, I saw Zhu Houzhao and Ye Chunqiu riding horses from the city.
After Zhu Houzhao arrived, he turned over and dismounted, no one saluted him, but he was also very used to it, but when he arrived in front of Wang Shouren, he looked at Wang Shouren with a smile and said: "Old Wang, if you win this time, I will give you an official and a knight." ” Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren definitely belong to the existence of mutual hatred, in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, Wang Shouren is not a thing, but in Wang Shouren's eyes, Zhu Houzhao is definitely a standard faint monarch, but tonight, Wang Shouren did not speak up, but said very seriously: "Please be careful, Your Majesty." ” At this time, under the night sky, in the angry waves, more than 30 ships have been getting closer and closer to the coast, and there is hardly too much wind and waves in the outer sea of Tianjin, but in the middle of the night, the bow of more than 30 ships cut the angry waves, like arrows, the car is full of sails, cruising under the stars, causing thousands of splashes.
The ship was full of people, men with compasses shouting frantically on the ship, and the military attaché on board searched the land to the west with a telescope.
Sailing at night is the most dangerous, especially at night to be close to the inland, and it is very likely to run aground, but the people on the ship are not worried, as if they know the sea in this area well, they unfold the chart, on the salty and wet and corroded by the sea, the chart is already stained with oil, while carrying the lantern, constantly looking down, while looking at the position of the compass, whispering in Portuguese.
The leader was a relatively short and fat man, with a triangular military hat on his head and a woolen tweed military uniform, which made him look glamorous compared to other sailors and sailors.
Alfonso, the governor of Malacca, was over 30 years old, a minor nobleman from the Faro region of Portugal who had accomplished several feats in less than a decade, fighting the Ottoman Empire in North Africa as an officer, defeating the elite Ottoman cavalry, then crushing the popular revolt in Portuguese Ceylon with his ships, and finally, with the king's patronage, he led his fleet all the way east, but the Kingdom of Portugal opened up the territory of Malacca.
With the strength of 1,200 men and a dozen ships, he defeated tens of thousands of native soldiers in Malacca in Malacca, and overnight, he destroyed the kingdom of Manraka and incorporated this pearl of the Far East into the territory of the kingdom.
This kind of petty nobleman, who was often the most anxious to establish his merits, was determined to continue his adventure when he learned of the great wealth of the ancient empire further east, and he had already done so many times, and he found a local Han Chinese in Malacca as a guide, and then reorganized the fleet supplied from Ceylon with the fleet of Malacca, and recruited 2,700 sailors and more than 300 sailors, and set out on the expedition without hesitation.
Governor Alfonso was still in awe of this ancient empire, but after the attack on Quanzhou, his mood began to lighten, the Han man named Wang Hanzhong was indeed right, the soldiers here did not have much discipline, morale was also very low, and there were almost no tactics to speak of, which made him full of confidence in the next decisive battle. aa2705221:
