Ye Chunqiu's words are not groundless, because in the Wanli period, the Japanese invaded Korea, and they could actually use ships to cross the strait and land hundreds of thousands of troops in Korea.
So Ye Chunqiu said again: "If they also come from the nest, then their strength may be several times higher than we imagined, their number may exceed more than 10,000 to 20,000 people, and there are no less than three or four hundred ships." ” Zhu Houzhao listened, gasped, and said with a gloomy face: "If three or four hundred is like this, doesn't it mean that it is more powerful than Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean?"
Ye Chunqiu shook his head, but instead smiled and said: "Naturally, it is not as good as Zheng He's fleet, but there are more ships, and it is definitely impossible to have a big ship like the Fu Boat, but the Japanese are close to the sea, and they are also good at naval warfare, so their ships may not be large, and their combat effectiveness is also considerable, which should not be underestimated." ” Ye Chunqiu thought for a while, and said: "But since they dare to come, then just come and give it a try, the ministers and the sailors must go all out." ” Zhu Houzhao's face gradually relaxed, and said; "I'm in command" "No."
Before Zhu Houzhao's words were finished, Deng Jian interrupted angrily: "Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." ” Zhu Hou glanced at Deng Jian, and said, "Mo Fei, you want me to return to the island, but I tell you the truth, on that island is even more dangerous than on a ship, and those vicious pirates have landed on the island, and I can't escape." ” Deng Jian said angrily: "Your Majesty can go back to the land." ” Zhu Houzhao said: "I don't go, if I return to the land like a turtle with a shrunken head, I will have no face to see my ancestors and ancestors, and I will live and die with the Spring and Autumn Period and this Qin Emperor." ” Deng Jian glared at Zhu Houzhao, so angry that he wanted to persuade him again.
At this moment, a Franc sailor hurried in and announced: "Enemy ship found, enemy ship spotted." ” He is not familiar enough with Chinese, but it is enough for everyone to understand: "The fast ship we released found the enemy ship twenty miles to the south, the enemy ship is huge, there are more than 500 large and small ships, their ship, the draft is very deep, maybe their base, not far from here, they have already set off, it is towards Qinhuangdao, they have also discovered us" Before the man could finish speaking, everyone was already gasping.
Here it comes And it came so quickly.
This means that a few months ago, these people had already made all the preparations, but no one would have thought that the real size of the fleet was still more than Ye Chunqiu had guessed.
There are more than 500 ships of all sizes, although Ye Chunqiu is convinced that there are many ships here, all of which are indiscriminate and may not be suitable for naval warfare, but Ye Chunqiu is also convinced that these people are menacing and will never be easy to provoke.
This should be in the waters near the Ming Dynasty, the largest fleet, if it is just a Japanese fleet, Ye Chunqiu is not worried at all, after all, the Japanese country is a certain distance from here, and the Japanese did not take North Korea, it is impossible to use North Korea as a springboard to attack Qinhuangdao, but now, it is obvious that the private businessmen have given the Japanese enough promises, and take out their nests in the nearby waters for the Japanese to repair, which makes the Japanese ships have the capital for long-distance attacks.
Ye Chunqiu and the four of them looked at each other, their faces were gloomy, Zhu Houzhao hesitated slightly, he seemed to feel that this time was a bit risky, after all, this was a naval battle, and the scale of this naval battle seemed to be far beyond what he had imagined.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao, who had been looking forward to this naval battle, couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.
Zhu Hou looked at Ye Chunqiu and was about to say something, but at this time, Ye Chunqiu said: "Please go back to the inland first and go to Shanhaiguan, Brother Deng, please go with Your Majesty." ” As soon as his words fell, Zhu Houzhao and Deng Jian said in unison: "I won't leave, just send His Majesty ashore." ” Ye Chunqiu couldn't help frowning deeply, as if he was still groaning.
Zhu Hou glanced at Deng Jian, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, and then said to Ye Chunqiu Zhengse: "Even if you want to leave, I'm afraid that it's too late, such a short distance, maybe their fast ship has already begun to be released, if I take a small boat to Shanhaiguan now, maybe I will meet their fast boat, wouldn't it be better to put me to death now, just don't let anyone go, everyone happens to live and die together." ” Four people, eight eyes looked at each other, Ye Chunqiu's eyes were a little helpless, Deng Jian was hesitant, Qian Qian was a little more worried, only Zhu Houzhao's eyes were happy.
After half a sound, as if he had finally made up his mind, Ye Chunqiu finally said: "Since it was said, now, let's go and prepare for battle."
Now, there is no room for hesitation, and there is no better choice for the most important thing.
Ye Chunqiu retracted his helplessness, but became firm, in today's battle, if he loses, he will lose everything, even so, what is there to look forward to Ye Chunqiu quickly stepped onto the deck and shouted: "Discover the enemy's situation and prepare for war" "Prepare for war" From bow to stern, many people shouted to each other, and the heralds waved flags to the nearby ships, so that the ships lifted anchor in order, hoisted their sails, and sailed out of the bay.
At this time, the advantages of the Francophone sailors were revealed, these people were all wizards of navigation, after all, they came here for tens of thousands of miles, and one by one they brought their own Han sailors to teach various ways to deal with them.
How to turn the rudder, how to move forward in order, how to master the speed, how to determine the wind force, a blade of sails, like an arc in the sea.
"Your Majesty, Emperor," said Ye Si in a hurry, "it has taken too much time to set sail, and the enemy ships are too close to us, so my advice is to wait for them here, gradually increase the speed of the ship, and fight them here." ” Ye Si is a veteran after all, Ye Chunqiu also knows that the sailboat is not as good as the ships of later generations, it can accelerate and decelerate at will, and now it has just set sail, in terms of speed, it is not good for the fleet, if you want to block, it is best to get close to the island, because only in this way will the other party's ships slow down, and they cannot crash into it hard, so as to cancel out their speed advantage.
Ye Chunqiu immediately nodded and said, "Do everything as you say, let the gunners be in place." ” Ye Si said: "Yes. ” aa2705221:
