Daming Junior Scholar

Didn't Feitero say that the weapons in the East are very ancient, they don't have sharp cannons and long guns at all, and they still use primitive bows and arrows to fight?Why did I see a warship in full shape, and the densely packed muzzles on it made me dizzy for a while, and it was hard to imagine what kind of situation it would be when those muzzles confronted me.

"Damn Phetero, you actually left a hand in this matter." Melo Godinho angrily slammed on the ship plank in front of him, and then he didn't know what to do, fight or flee, this is A tough choice.

When I first arrived here, I really told Feituo that although the Ming Dynasty is big, its weapons are very simple. The lack of large artillery makes them often win naval battles through close combat. These outdated combat methods are not He didn't put it in his own eyes, so Melo Godinho's fleet began to run amok.

It's just that he doesn't know that the Ming Dynasty in his eyes is not the real Ming Dynasty, but Xiaoliuqiu, which is not too far away from the Ming Dynasty. It is actually more developed than those small countries, but not much stronger, and there are many Japanese pirates on the island, which threatens its own survival.

In order to create a safe rear, Melo Godinho shot at these Japanese pirates. The combination of sharp boats and giant cannons made these Japanese pirates run away with their heads in their arms. Today is the case, and he has his eyes on a Japanese pirate. After the fleet, they kept chasing.

Unexpectedly, when the Japanese pirate fleet saw He Jiaan's fleet, they mistakenly thought it was just an ordinary merchant ship. They wanted to use the cover of these merchant ships to escape, but unexpectedly, they buried their lives early.

The Japanese pirates were dead, but the two most powerful fleets in the east met together, and they both began to maneuver in S-shaped movements, but they were always wary of the opponent's artillery, and did not dare to test it easily. After a while , but Melo Godinho tentatively left this sea area, and when he saw that the other party's fleet did not chase after him, he was relieved for a long time, thinking about the fleet he just met, and couldn't help but have a headache stand up.

"My lord, is the fleet really owned by Franji?" Xue Yi also had some headaches. Since the signing of the trade agreement, there has never been a Franji ship in this sea area. So many appeared today. I am afraid that there are some unwilling Franchise adventurers who have come here, and the already calm sea is afraid that it will not be peaceful again.

He Jiaan hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly, and explained: "You just saw that although the other party didn't fire the gun, the muzzle on the boat has already been exposed, and they sail the boat in the same way as us. They are trying to use the broadside to aim at the opponent, it should be the same tactic as ours, think about it, in this sea area, how can there be other forces besides us that have such powerful warships?"

After thinking about it carefully, Xue Yi didn't think the Japanese pirates had such strength either. It seemed that the four ships were not bait sent by the Japanese pirates, but were driven to him by the Franc machine boat behind him, but they were driven by a group of The gunfire sank into the sea, and even the Fran robot was scared and retreated.

"My lord, what should we do next? Shall we follow up and sink the Fran cannon?" Xue Yi couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion when he thought of He Jia'an's achievements back then. I hope that I can fight if there is a battle. Only by fighting can I have military merits, and with military merits can I be promoted and make a fortune. What's more, I have the most powerful fleet in Ming Dynasty, and it should be no problem to deal with six Fran aircraft.

He Jiaan turned his head and glanced at him, as if aware of what Xue Yi was thinking, but he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to sink them, but our current strength doesn't allow it. You see There are only six ships on the other side, but who knows if there are reinforcements behind them? What is their firepower? How many guns are there on the side of the ship? Compared with our artillery, who has a longer range?"

A series of questions made Xue Yi dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that what He Jiaan said was indeed reasonable. Originally, ten ships could not take advantage of six ships. If I have backup, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any cheap, so I think I'm still too reckless. If I fall into the enemy's trap in the first battle and lose all these family fortunes, not only will I have no hope of official career, I'm afraid I won't even be able to do it. This little life can't be saved.

Thinking of this, Xue Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked modestly: "Master He, what should we do now?"

He Jiaan hesitated for a moment, looked at the direction in which the other party retreated and said in a low voice: "We don't know their reality, and I'm afraid they don't know our reality either. Judging from the direction of their retreat, it should be some distance away from Daming, and there shouldn't be any for the time being." The method threatens our sea area, let's retreat to Guangzhou first, and inquire about the news first."

Xue Yi gave an order, and the stopped warship immediately changed direction and accelerated towards the direction of Guangzhou City. The original journey of five or six days arrived in three days. After disembarking, Chen Yueying took a group of family members straight to He left for the last remaining villa of the He family, while He Jiaan led Tang Yi, Tang Jian and Xue Yi all the way to Wu Ting's yamen.

The current Wu Ting is not the same as before. After a lot of credit, his official position has also risen. Originally, there were not many bosses on his head, and they were transferred one by one. Now Wu Ting has become a well-deserved Guangzhou mansion. No.1, although he is busy with things every day, he always takes time to check the Shibo department, because he knows clearly in his heart that he can only earn money for Zhengde here honestly, and the black yarn on his head will be stronger.

It doesn't matter what happens in other places, as long as there is no accident in Shibo, his official position will be as stable as Mount Tai.

On this day, when Wu Ting was dealing with official duties, Wu Xun, the housekeeper who stayed outside, suddenly walked in. Regardless of Wu Ting's work, he hurriedly said: "My lord, Mr. He is here."

"Master He?" Wu Ting was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react at first, but asked casually, "Which Lord He?"

"Who else can it be, Mr. He, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. He Jia'an." Wu Xun quickly explained.

"Eh?" Wu Ting was taken aback, He Jia'an had only been away for more than a year, why did he come back again?

But I can have what I am today, all thanks to He Jiaan's help, I am not that ungrateful person, I don't even care about the official documents on the table, I didn't even change my clothes, and I strode out to greet him.

Sure enough, whoever was the person standing outside the door was He Jiaan, Wu Ting walked over with a big laugh, and said with a smile: "These people really have no discernment, they don't even know Master He who is famous all over the world, it's really rude. "

He Jiaan said with a smile: "I don't blame others, but my reputation is not good enough. Today came suddenly and disturbed me a lot. Please don't take offense, Mr. Wu."

"Hey, there is no need to be so polite between Mr. He and I, please come inside quickly."

The two of them went to the living room side by side, and after a servant girl served tea beside him, Wu Ting asked curiously, "Master He suddenly came to Guangzhou, what's your business?"

"Guigan is not there, but when I was here, I encountered a strange thing."

Chapter 1474 Dangerous

Chapter 1474 Dangerous

What can you encounter on the road?

Wu Ting originally thought that He Jiaan had encountered something interesting, but after hearing what He Jiaan had said, he frowned, thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "Listen to Mr. He, are those warships of Japanese pirates Is the boat being chased by the boat behind it all the way?"

He Jiaan nodded: "At the beginning, I also thought that the four Japanese ships regarded us as merchant ships, but when the Japanese ships approached, they didn't mean to slow down, and I saw the chasing after them. Those ships, so I boldly guessed whether the ships behind were chasing these Japanese ships."

It's not impossible, but the problem appeared again. Wu Ting asked suspiciously: "Master He is not unreasonable, but who has such a great ability to chase Japanese boats all over the sea? It seems that apart from He Apart from your lord's Franco cannon, there should be no one with such a powerful strength, right?"

He Jia'an nodded, and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid Mr. Wu has hit the mark, and the ship behind the Japanese boat is probably the Franji boat."

"What?" Wu Ting suddenly turned pale with fright, blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "Your Excellency must not have misread it, it has only been ten days since Fettero's fleet left Guangzhou, how could it appear again The nearby sea? If he doesn’t earn his money, why would he still want to hang out here?”

After thinking about it, He Jia'an shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, those ships are probably not Feitello's fleet, but other Franji adventurers who came nearby. Master Wu, don't be careless. Those Frang machine guns are likely to have artillery on them, and if they are washed ashore by them, their destructive power is much greater than that of Japanese pirates."

"En." Wu Ting also quite agrees with this point. He has personally seen the destructive power of the Franji man, especially the Franji cannon. Compared with them, Japanese pirates are simply scabies.

If it was normal, the matter of coastal defense would definitely fall on him again, but now Wu Ting can breathe a sigh of relief, with He Jiaan's fleet, forgive those Frangji people who dare not easily offend.

Thinking of this, Wu Ting smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. He, for reminding me that I have kept this matter in mind, and I will strengthen the coastal defense from today onwards. However, Mr. He also knows that the coastline of Guangzhou is too long. Humans can’t completely cover them, and they usually need the help of Mr. Lao He’s navy.”

He Jiaan nodded: "Coastal defense was originally the responsibility of our navy. Don't worry, Mr. Wu, as long as the Franji fleet dares to show up, I will definitely blow them all up."

When He Jiaan returned to Jinxiu Villa from Wu Ting, it was already dark outside, but the inside of the villa was as bright as day. It was probably the first time for the girls to experience such hot weather during Chinese New Year. All of them were wearing summer clothes and sitting around the lake in the villa. Delicious delicacies had been served long ago, and the eating was very lively.

When seeing He Jia'an came back, Chen Yueying walked over with a smile, and deliberately complained: "It's easy for my husband, I leave them all here, I want to go to rest first, but they are so loud that I can't sleep at all. .”

This sentence was originally intended to complain, but when Chen Yuee heard her sister's complaint, she was dissatisfied: "Sister, you are talking nonsense, okay? You brought us here because you are not here. If you want to punish, you have to punish first." You are."

"Yes, yes, my sister has always been generous. Let her do three bowls first."

He Jiaan couldn't tell who said the words just now, but he felt a little dizzy when he saw the wine bowl Su Hongxiu was holding up, and asked quickly: "So much wine, may the lady drink all of it?"

"Sister must not be able to drink, but isn't there still you?" Su Hongxiu rolled her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Sisters, my husband came back after a long time. Shall we toast him with a bowl of wine?"

"Okay."

Su Hongxiu's words were like a drop of water dripping from the hot oil pan. The already excited women jumped out one by one, regardless of whether they were usually solemn or lively, they all filled their wine bowls. They all squeezed to He Jiaan's side at once, watching him drink bowl after bowl, laughter like silver bells echoed on the lake for a long time.

He Jiaping didn't remember how he came back, how he lay down, who fed him the hangover soup, and who changed his clothes. By the time his consciousness returned to him, the sky outside was already bright. , raised his head, and it was Tang Yu standing in front of him.

"What time is it?" He Jiaan rubbed his forehead with a splitting headache and asked in a low voice.

"It's almost noon." Seeing He Jia'an woke up, Tang Yu hurriedly brought over the hangover soup, and complained in a low voice: "I don't know how much alcohol I have, how can I drink one bowl at a time, let's do it now, Serve it right."

He Jiaan took the hangover soup casually, and gave Tang Yu an angry look: "If I remember correctly, it seems that someone handed me two bowls yesterday."

Uh……

He didn't expect such a hidden thing to be discovered by He Jia'an. Tang Yu's pretty face blushed immediately, and she quickly changed the subject: "What time is it? Hurry up, Sister Yueying said that she would take everyone out to play together. I'll be waiting for you."

"Ah?" He Jiaan sighed helplessly, and complained, "Aren't you all tired from taking the boat? You should take a rest when you just arrived in Guangzhou."

"There are plenty of opportunities to rest. Let's get a taste of the difference in Guangzhou Mansion first. Hurry up and change your clothes, Mr. Yueying. I'll tell Sister Yueying that you woke up."

Seeing Tang Yu bouncing away, He Jiaan sighed helplessly. It seems that no matter what age, creatures like women have a crazy hobby for shopping. Who asked me to bring them here? You have to take on this responsibility.

He Jiaan put on his clothes slowly, and when he left the room, he was frightened by the team in front of him, not only his ten wives, but also their maids, those three little babies, and even Tang Yi , Tang Jian and other guards, there are almost 50 to [-] people in total. With so many people going shopping, just thinking about the scene is extremely majestic.

Without waiting for He Jiaan to raise any objections, the mighty team set off.
