I am the king of the dead

"No, it's nothing, I ate badly yesterday." Cai Wenghe shook his head quickly and said.

Yue Qian continued to say kindly: "Then Patriarch Cai, you need to pay more attention to your body, so it's settled? This year it's still [-]%."

"Oh, good." Cai Wenghe nodded and said, "I'm not feeling well, Cao Min will leave."

Cai Wenghe left.

And Yue Qian still had that happy expression on his face, he was the smiling tiger among the three, always smiling, not scary at all.

But after Cai Wenghe left, Yue Qian's face became serious.

"This Cai Wenghe has a problem." Yue Qian said.

Yuan Bin played with the flintlock pistol in his hand and said, "If you kill him with one shot, I'm afraid it will be cheap for him."

"Obviously." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ji Duo's mouth.

Cai Wenghe's reaction is really a bit weird, because Cai Wenghe is not straightforward or strong.

You must know that the 36 surnames of the Fujian people came to this unshitty Kume Island because of the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, and they have taught the Ryukyu people, so it shouldn’t be justifiable to earn a little?

But when Yue Qian said that the Kume gentry could draw points according to the old rules, Cai Wenghe was surprised at first, and then broke into a cold sweat.

Cai Wenghe has ghosts in his heart.

Yue Qian stood up and said, "Put on armor and a knife tonight, and get ready to welcome our old friends."

"It's kind of us to let the boat master sail the boat to play around the Nanshan Mansion, and to install the tribute items by the way! I would like to set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

"Tonight, I'm afraid there will be a bad battle to be fought."

Yuan Bin said eagerly, "How to fight?"

Ji Duo immediately said, "How about the empty city plan?"

"Closing the door and beating the dog?" Yue Qian asked after taking the conversation.

Yuan Bin was very dissatisfied and said, "Why can't you fight head-on?"

Yue Qian shook his head and said, "Are you hitting head on?"

"Commander Ji is staring at this old guy Cai Wenghe, he's afraid he's going to run away." Yuan Bin looked at Cai Wenghe who was drifting away, pouted and said.

Ji Duo nodded and said, "All right."

In the evening, Cai Wenghe saw the four three-masted ships moving first, followed by the battleships. He was even more frightened. After thinking for a long time, he brought the island's special seafood and coconut wine to reward the army.

However, Yue Qian categorically refused. Drinking alcohol in the army is an iron law of Ming Dynasty, and even Marquis Wu Qing cannot violate it, unless His Majesty rewards him after the great victory.

Among the Ming army, only military doctors had wine in their hands, but it was French wine and could not be drunk.

Ji Duo jokingly opened a pot and asked Cai Wenghe to drink, but Cai Wenghe refused to drink.

Ji Duo immediately turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, directly escorted Cai Wenghe, and questioned him a few times. Cai Wenghe was guilty at first, and after being frightened, he immediately confessed.

He's got it right.

To be precise, Cai Wenghe, when Ryukyu fell into civil strife, had already communicated with the Japanese, and provided a lot of information about the resistance army in Nanshan Prefecture, Shimao, to the Japanese pirates and pirates.

But the coconut king Chen Fuyin was too fierce, and the Japanese pirates rushed over, but were also repelled. After three or five times, the Japanese pirates believed Cai Wenghe's information, but they seldom acted anymore.

For this reason, the Japanese pirates offered a reward of 1 taels of silver for Chen Fuyin's head.

This time, the four three-masted ships of the Ming Dynasty suddenly arrived, which frightened Cai Wenghe. He directly contacted the Japanese pirates. Tonight, the inside and the outside will attack the Daming camp!

The pirates and Japanese pirates immediately reached a consensus, ready to put aside their fights and disputes, and attack Daming first.

First of all, it is necessary to prevent Da Ming's intervention, because Da Ming must stand on the side of the resistance army in Nanshan Mansion.

Cai Wenghe didn't know exactly how many people came, but the news that they planned to land tonight was conclusive.

Among seafood and coconut wine, poisonous, pufferfish poison, the venom made from pufferfish liver press liquid.

After the interrogation results came out, Yue Qian and Ji Duo could only look at each other in silence, only sighed, and they really didn't do anything with people.

Yuan Bin led people and arrested people according to the list. A total of four people were arrested, and the remaining three were the masterminds of Tongwo. They were clearly the Su family in Zhangzhou, the Zhang family in Suzhou, and the Li family in Yongding.

There are also four members of Cai Wenghe's direct descendants who are responsible for burning down the Ming ships and poisoning the coconut wine.

"Isn't it good to live well? Do you have to go to the Xie Jieyuan to test whether the doctors' knives are sharp?" Yuan Bin held a binoculars in his hand and stayed in the watchtower looking at the sea. He kept observing facing the sea.

Ji Duo all said with emotion: "They probably didn't expect the Ming army to come. When they saw the Ming army coming, they thought that the tribute points would be useless. They simply didn't do anything. As long as we are all dead, they will be fine." gone."

"People die for money and birds die for food. What the ancestors said is absolutely right. For the sake of triple profits, there is no law."

"Here we come." Yuan Bin felt excited, his hands were shaking, and the horse seal of Yongle Tongbao hung by the Japanese pirates appeared in Yuan Bin's binoculars.

There are many famous names in the country of Wa, and they all use Yongle Tongbao as their references and horse seals.

The finger is a kind of flag hung behind the general, and Yongle Tongbao will be printed on it.

Ma Yin, roughly equivalent to the tooth flag in Ming Dynasty, is to mark the position of the general, but the shapes are various, such as gold umbrellas, wool hats, and gourds strung together.

Many guardian daimyos of famous landowners in Japan also used Yongle Tongbao as family crests.

Yuan Bin spat viciously. These Japanese pirates had the nerve to use Yongle Tongbao as a flag seal. Emperor Taizong Wen would probably be furious if he found out.

Yuan Bin put on his visor and said, "What kind of empty city plan, what kind of closing the door and beating the dog, we just hit it halfway through."

Yuan Bin quickly ran down from the watchtower.

He organized two hundred common generals, one hundred commanders and five hundred elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, intending to teach the invading enemies a good lesson.

How much armament did Li Binyan give Yue Qian?

Enough to arm a battalion, with a total of 2 equipment, there are more than 4000 bird guns alone, and more than a hundred bowl-mouth guns and sub-cup guns.

This operation was named Operation Gun Test.

Checking the gun, as the name suggests, is to try the bird gun in your hand to see if it works well.

The original intention of Yue Qian and Ji Duo's empty city plan and closing the door to beat the dog was to kill the enemy as much as possible, but after careful consideration, they finally adopted Yuan Bin's battle plan and fought head-on.

This is the first battle for Ming to intervene in the situation in Ryukyu. It is a battle where there should be no fear, and it is necessary to show Ming's determination and combat level.

Yue Qian sat down and drove out, and began to direct the Ming army to form troops.

The sergeants staying in the watchtower kept waving colorful flags and conveying news.

The sun was setting west and was slowly sinking below the sea level.

Where the water and the sky meet, a red glow appears, turning the entire western sky into fiery red, and the sky becomes bluer as you go to the east, and this blueness gradually turns into blue as the sun slant to the west. Dark blue, the moon looming more and more in the sky.

The Venus twinkled non-stop in the sky.

The setting sun finally put away its dazzling light, leaving only a piece of muddy red, swaying on the sea surface, it is difficult to distinguish clearly, where is the water, and where is the sky.

There were some naughty clouds in the sky, but in the end they turned into black and ferocious monsters.

The pirate ships finally wandered around a few times, as if wondering why there were no ships in the port, but finally put down the small sampans one by one, ready to wait for the shore.

Yue Qian stood up and said with a smile, "Here we come!"

Attacking halfway across the island, Yue Qian gave the order to attack when the Japanese pirates landed halfway on the island.

The long dragon of torches lit up on the coastline, and the matchlocks of the bird guns began to ignite. Only then did the Japanese pirates see clearly that the Ming army on the coast should have been poisoned to death.

With the waving of the dental flag, the team's flag fell, and the sound of firecrackers began to sound.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, the lead, reflecting the flickering flames of the torches, pierced the air with a scream, and shot into the crowd of Japanese pirates.

No general could give an order to flee immediately when they were halfway across. They must find a way to land on the beach, and then cross the gentle slope of the beach washed out by nature to fight against Daming.

It's a pity that they didn't have firecrackers, and there were very few bows and arrows. The intensive shooting made the Japanese pirates unable to hold their heads up.

The screams, the roar of gunpowder, and the sound of artillery fire were deafening, and the smell of gunpowder smoke, rust, and salty sea breeze drifted far away mixed with the sea breeze.

The Japanese pirates didn't hold on for long, their will to fight began to collapse, and countless people howled and rushed into the sea, wanting to swim back to the big ship.

Landing combat is definitely one of the most tragic fighting methods in the world.

But Daming is the defender, and he is the defender who has mastered the firecracker technique.

The setting sun seemed to be dragged down and fell into the boundless sea to the west.

When the afterglow of the setting sun faded, the originally silver-white beach was already stained red with blood, and then the waves surged, and the dead people were washed by the waves, and their hands and feet were floating in the sea in a disorderly manner.

The war on the beach was extremely cruel and one-sided, but the war at sea had just begun. Eight warships rushed out from the corner and began to rampage among the ships.

Although the war seat ship has only [-] materials, the artillery on the [-] materials is simply impossible for Japanese ships to deal with.

Every time the gunpowder roared, lead bullets hit the opposite ship, and the pirate ship was overwhelmed and exploded on the sea.

The approaching guns fired a volley, and every time they roared, they brought a cloud of blood mist.

It's hard to imagine how the Japanese pirates who came here on a whim would feel in the face of such a battle, and no one will know.

It was a battle of prestige, and Da Ming didn't intend to keep any prisoners. It was really on the sea, with a language barrier, and being in a combat state, he didn't know what a prisoner was.

Yuan Bin took people to make up the knife on the beach, but he didn't make it up, because everyone who took a breath had already swam back to the sea. As for whether they can survive, that's not what Yuan Bin should consider.

Yuan Bin kept cursing and cursing. He originally planned to wave the long spear to let the group of short men with shaved heads experience the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, but before he could wave it, the battle ended with the Japanese pirates being defeated.

But Yuan Bin can't blame the Japanese pirates for their weak will to fight. Daming's combat concept of saturated gun inspection is really too rich and extravagant.

So Yuan Bin could only swear, and didn't know what to swear.

Yuan Bin waited for a few days, but he didn't wait for Tang Xing to come back, and he didn't know where to make trouble. Yue Qian and Yuan Bin stayed on Jiumi Island, while Ji Duo escorted the three-masted tribute ship, ready to go to Shipbuilding Department of Zhoushan City.

They quickly found the warm water zone, and the temperature of the sea water here was actually more than [-] degrees higher than the surrounding area!

After entering this warm water zone, the boat master immediately noticed that the ship had deviated from its course, and there was a northward thrust under the ship, which was playing a role.

And at noon, under the blue sea water, it obviously took on a dark brown sea water color.

Like a black tide.

The difference in this color is very small, if you don't pay attention to it, you won't notice it at all.

"Give me a small boat, it's a river in the sea!" The boat master said to Ji Duo excitedly, "Let me go, give me a two-masted boat, and I'll see where the end of this river is! "

Chapter 471 is very good, very exploratory spirit

"The sea is full of water. How could there be a river? You must be crazy. It may be geothermal heat, yes, that's right." Ji Duo looked at the almost crazy first fire chief Peng Sui, and tentatively explained .

It is true that the temperature is a bit high, but it is not inexplicable.

The fire chief Peng Sui waved his hands again and again, and he said anxiously: "No, no, look at our compass (geng), before we entered this sea area, we had been walking 32 degrees north by west, and now it is north by west 33°, that's just the direction."

"Our boat used to be 41 miles per hour, but it changed to 45 miles as soon as it stepped into the warm current, and the wind speed didn't change much. There is only one reason for this phenomenon. There is a current pushing us under the boat."

"It's just astonishing."

"There are rivers under the sea. It sounds crazy, but it is true."

In the era of Emperor Hui of Jin, who didn't eat minced meat, Taifu Cui Bao once recorded a rangefinder called Jili Drum Cart, which would beat the drum every mile and every ten miles Ring the bell.

This kind of drum car is one of the vehicles of the guard of honor.

When the emperor went on a tour or personally conquered, the first car was a compass. According to legend, when the emperor fought against Chi You, Chi You created a thick fog, and Huang Di built a compass car to guide the soldiers.

The second car is the Jiligu car, with a total of 30 honor guards.

After Jiligu chariots are Bailu chariots, Luanqi chariots, Genggen chariots, Siwang chariots, etc., each of which has its own purpose, not only as a guard of honor, but also as a tool.

There are similar objects on the ships of Ming Dynasty, which can calculate the mileage traveled and then determine the speed.

The relationship between time, distance, and speed is not complicated.

It is also commonly used in military affairs. For example, when Hongwu conquered Dadu in the first year of Yuan Dynasty, Xu Da and others would report how many miles they traveled in a day in the daily military newspaper.

Compared with the road, the speed of the ship will be faster in this era.

Daming's ships can travel more than forty miles in an hour, but the ships do not travel in a straight line on the sea, but in a zigzag shape, especially when the northwest wind is blowing.

It was still the tail of the first month, and the cold wind from the northwest was still howling.

The ship is heading northwest, and the wind is blowing from the northwest. Isn't that sailing against the wind?

Sailboat sailing against the wind is not a complex technology.

One sail can make eight winds, which means that one sail can use eight winds, so it is completely possible to head against the wind, and generally adopt the zigzag walking method.

The boat is not slow, but the mileage is zigzag.

"Did the wind get stronger?" Ji Duo still said in disbelief.
