Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 184 Commands
Zhu Houzhao was worrying about this matter, wondering why no minister came out to share his worries?

The reason why the Hou Jin Tartars were not afraid of the firearms of the Ming army was because they had enough shields to block the firearms. Once they got a little closer to the Ming army, they basically slaughtered the Ming army.

It can be said unequivocally that from now on, the entire Ming army attaches great importance to the development of firearms from top to bottom, but ignores the actual operation of the infantry. Once the real guns are fighting on the battlefield, the infantry often suffers.

At this moment, a shout sounded outside the hall.

"Urgent report, urgent report, border urgent report!"

"In the sea area of ​​Ming Dynasty, many pirates have sneaked into the navy, and the navy has been attacked!"

The emergency report sounded suddenly, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked at first, and then all of them showed angry expressions on their faces.

These pirates are so bold that they planned to secretly attack the navy while they were slack after His Majesty left.

Zhu Houzhao shouted angrily: "Submit the urgent report quickly!"

"According to the order!"

Xiao Fangzi trotted down the side ladder in a hurry, took the urgent report, and presented it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao glanced coldly at the contents of the memorial.

However, the more I look down, the more unhappy I feel.

His first feeling was that there were not only ghosts in the Ming Navy, but many.

Later, Qi Jingtong also reported the situation of a cargo ship being looted by pirates.

It turned out that when the one-eyed dragon dispatched his men to attack the Daming Treasure Ship in a single day, his men and twenty brothers were waiting in place.

Not long after, a large merchant ship happened to pass by, and the one-eyed dragon became greedy for money.

He felt that his brothers who had followed him had not even had a full meal recently. This time, he had to make a big one, which happened to be a fleet of merchant ships. He asked all his men to dispatch and move the ships on board. Dozens of guards hacked to death, threw their bodies directly into the sea, and robbed all the cargo, money, and women in the cabin.

No one would have known about it at the time if it hadn't been for a dead body floating over.

Zhu Houzhao looked at these contents angrily on both sides, held the memorial tightly with his hands and roared: "These pirates are so fucking rampant, if I don't deal with them, I will swear not to be human!"

"Decree to Qi Jingtong, quickly send me the elite navy of the Ming Dynasty to wipe out this pole!"

"Bandits at sea are a disaster. They wantonly rob merchant ships, and the people in the surrounding sea areas may also be harassed. Our Ming Dynasty Navy has been training for a long time, and all the artillery is distributed. I order you to send troops immediately to wipe out these pirates!"

Xiao Fangzi quickly wrote down Zhu Houzhao's words, and then conveyed it to the Ministry of War, and passed it on as the most important thing today.

Zhu Houzhao knew that the banditry of Ming Dynasty was not caused by these pirates, but by the Japanese pirates who later invaded our country.

These pirates are like blunt knives, although they won't kill you in a short time, they still torment you little by little.

Although they do not have a fixed place for activities, nor fixed soldiers and warships, they have a strong sense of random combat and are very flexible in combat.

Once let them escape, the vast sea, where to find them?After a while, they made a comeback again, which was very troublesome.

At dusk on the second day, the imperial decree was delivered to Qi Jingtong.

It turned out that the purpose of Qi Jingtong entertaining Mao Liu and others for dinner that night was to let them find a few moths hidden in the army.

Sure enough, after dinner, Qi Jingtong entertained the pirates with wine and asked them to confess the moths hidden in the army.

This trick really worked, not only did not cost a single soldier, but also found out the moths in the five navy.

At dawn the next day, these dozens of people were tightly tied together and escorted to the capital.

While Qi Jingtong and the others were eating, Cyclops and others also casually hijacked the merchant ship, but the news was quickly conveyed to Qi Jingtong's ears.

He had already ordered people to make preparations to meet the enemy, but he hadn't set off until now.

At this time, Qi Jingtong held his sword tightly in one hand, stood on the deck, looked at the sea level, and said loudly: "Brothers, now is the time for us to make achievements, let's go!"

woo woo woo.
Accompanied by the sound of horns, more than 1 people in the Ming Navy sailed into the distance.

In the boundless sea.

Pirate ships are haunting one after another. These days, they are used to being carefree. They haven't encountered the Ming Navy patrolling the coastline for a long time. Recently, they have become arrogant.

When they discovered that they had committed crimes many times without being held accountable by the Ming Navy, they became bolder one by one.

"Something must have happened to the first and second masters, otherwise they will disappear all night. I think we should leave here quickly!"

Said a sailor to Cyclops.

"I'm afraid of his stupidity. These idiots are busy training now. I'll wait until I do a few more things."

"When I get rich, buy enough ammunition, and form my own army on the sea, then I will be the most powerful person!"

"As for the second brother, go and send someone to check. Why is there no movement?" One-eyed Dragon said to his brothers.

"Master, look!"

The man was just about to leave when he looked up and saw a black dot coming towards him in front of him.

"It is estimated that they succeeded, brothers, prepare the ships to respond!" Cyclops waved his hand happily, and gathered all the broken ships together.

"Brothers, what an eye-opener, I have a chance to make a fortune!" Although the one-eyed dragon has only one eye, he has very good eyesight, and he can see that the boat is not small from a distance.

But at this moment, he was already dazzled by the gold and silver treasures on board, and all he could think about was stealing money.

Thinking of this, he pulled out the waist knife from his waist, raised his hand and said: "Brothers, it's time for us to get rich, follow Lao Tzu's vote, and we will have glory and wealth in the future!"

Afterwards, the twenty or so pirates on board yelled, obviously aroused by the words of the one-eyed dragon.

Their paddling speed is also much faster than before, and each of them is like a chicken blood.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty armored up.

A sailor spy came over in a hurry, knelt down on one knee, and said to Qi Jingtong, "Master General Administration, several suspicious ships have been spotted ahead, and they are rowing towards us quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingtong quickly stood up and walked towards the mast.

After looking at the ships in front of them, Qi Jingtong also breathed a sigh of relief. They were just a dozen or so broken ships. As the second boss said before, they dressed up as broken ships so that they would not easily attract others' attention.

"This group of pirates regards us as merchant ships. They have sharp firearms on board. Send an order to all soldiers to be ready. Once they approach, aim and fire. No one will be left behind!"

"Yes!"

"These pirates are really not afraid of death, it seems that they deserve it!"

The originally slow-moving Daming warships also speeded up. Qi Jingtong knew that the number of these pirates was small, but they were very mobile. The reason why they brought [-] sailors to sea this time was to wipe out all the pirates in this area. This is the Son of Heaven. The command!

The Ming dragon sailed fast, splitting the originally calm sea into two, and the waves rolled up by the waves kept beating the stability of the ship.

However, soon, the pirate ship ahead discovered something was wrong with the target!
