Chapter 2274 The toughness of being beaten
It is said to be a strait, but in fact it is very wide in people's sight.
But in sunny weather, you can see the shore even if you have good eyesight.
As soon as I left the strait, the fields were everywhere, and my heart was wide open, but at the same time, some confusion that could not see the land would arise.
Humans are land animals, and fear of the ocean is born.
It was not until mankind learned to build ships that they began to have close contact with the ocean. But even now, going to sea is still a matter that requires praying for the blessings of gods and Buddhas in the sky and ancestors before going out.
"Little Marquis, after leaving here, it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Pu was not in any mood at first, but after a crew member who wanted to flatter him said this, he subconsciously looked at Fang Xing.
But Fang Xing was not worried about this.
"My uncle, there is a boat!"
A warship suddenly appeared in sight, and the lookout whistle shouted: "It's our ship!"
Fang Xing looked ahead coldly, "Go and answer!"
He didn't know if Lin Zheng's fleet would encounter the kind of fleet Hong Bao said.
A fleet covered with sea.
Many ants bite the elephant to death!
The Clippers greeted them and came back together.
On the side, Hong Bao went to listen to the news in person.
"Father-in-law, Lord Lin discovered the enemy."
...
On the fifth day, when the two fleets met, the two broken ships carried behind the fleet ignited the atmosphere.
Lin Zheng climbed up, knelt on one knee, and apologized: "Brother, the official is chasing him and asked him to punish him."
Fang Xing went over to help him up and said with relief: "It is impossible to make every decision before the war, and it is impossible to ask for instructions in advance. What are your crimes?"
Then a prisoner came up with the hanging basket, the commander of the small fleet.
He limped and opened his mouth to speak. Seeing that no one could understand, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Xing He Bo, does he think torture is useless?"
Wang He said in a negative way: "It seems that it's time for them to come forward!"
Fang Xing nodded, and then someone went to bring the translation.
The Ming Dynasty was also cultivating its own translation, but the time was not enough, so the Thai-Chinese translation she cultivated was still half-baked.
That's why not only did the translation of the Ming Dynasty come, but the translation of the translation brought by the Thai mission also came.
When he saw the officer, the general expression looked pale.
After seeing the two broken warships, it was obvious that they were attacked, Tongzhi was even more disgusted.
He was worried that Mingren would turn against each other, so he took the delegation back and imprisoned him in Peiping for a long time.
"Why are you here? Have you found the route?"
The familiar language made the officer stunned, and the general interpreter smiled bitterly: "I am a member of the mission."
The officer said in surprise: "The mission is on the ship?"
"That's right."
The mission full of peace and friendship was on the ship, and the defeated officers were on the ship.
Is it war or peace?
If we talk about the most absurd profession in the world, it is probably a diplomat.
He was talking about peace, but the country was sharpening his knife, and he had even taken action, and was still smiling with an olive branch.
The officer said dejectedly: "There is no need to hide it."
The general interpreter smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, they should be going to our side. You can see the size of their fleet for yourself. This is not a peaceful journey, but you have added glory, dangerous glory to this journey."
The Ming people were going to demonstrate, and they met the Thai warship halfway through. This was such a coincidence!
"Ask a question!"
Liu Pu came over with a wooden stick. He was now dark, at least seven or eight kilograms.
If he returned to the capital in this way, most of those acquaintances would not recognize him.
He whipped his palms with a thin wooden stick, and the wooden stick was scrambling the officer's body, clearly looking for parts to start.
The officer glanced at Fang Xing and others and said, "Tell them that I will abide by the honor of the kingdom..."
Tongyi asked kindly: "Are you sure you can withstand it?"
The officer said firmly: "Yes, this is one of the reasons why I was chosen to explore the way."
"Well, I... will pray for you."
The safest thing about the entire mission is actually the translation. He felt that even if the Ming people killed the mission, they would keep them for future communication.
So the general translator walked over with a respectful attitude and said, "Dear Earl, the officer hopes to get the respect he deserves."
Fang Xing was stunned, Hong Bao and Fu Xian looked at each other and said, "What does it mean?"
Wang He smiled dryly and said, "I'm afraid you're not dreaming, or are you scared by our cannons?"
Lin Zheng said from the side: "Sir, this person is very tough."
"tough?"
The officer looked determined at this moment, and his cooperation with Lin Zheng's words made people puzzled by his loyalty...
"There is a price to be tough!"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Liu Pu, let's do it!"
The officer looked at Fang Xing, and then his eyes turned dark. Liu Sheng rushed over and kicked him over, then waved the stick in his hand and whipped it desperately.
The officer rolled on the deck and screamed, and everyone looked at it calmly. Hong Bao and Fu Xian even suggested that they set off immediately to find the main force of the enemy.
"...If the enemy's main force cannot be found, the sea is vast, they may raid at any time, but we cannot just stay in the strait..."
"Yes! I have always thought that the navy should be a weapon for attack. Once it shrinks, it will be a dog guarding the house and will never make a fortune in my life."
"Our family went to sea many times. I heard of pirates before, and the fleet would go searching immediately..."
The torture was still going on over there, and the officer had already started talking.
Tongzhi said awkwardly: "He said the large fleet is just about half a month's voyage."
The officer began to swear that he would keep his dignity, but after being beaten, he confessed.
The wise people smiled one after another, and the general translator became more and more embarrassed when he saw it. He secretly hated: If you can't hold on, don't pretend to be tough! This is a shame.
After the question was over, Liu Pu finally felt proud after being depressed for many days and said, "Brother Dehua, I have some talent for torture. Even if I don't hang out in the army, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei can go."
Jinyiwei and Dongchang need talents from all aspects, and they can do the ability to steal chickens and dogs.
Therefore, their doors are open all year round, and "Judges" from all sides are welcome to join.
Moreover, these two places are well-fed and have a "high-profile" status. Once they are admitted, they will be both power and wealth!
So those who feel that they have some special abilities often go there. If they have the courage to squat in front of the two yamen, they will definitely see those candidates who are either depressed or liked.
The officer was so swollen and painful that his body was moaned on the deck. Someone went to call the doctor to check it out, and Fang Xing took the opportunity to tell him his attitude.
"Their navigation is not as good as ours, and Lin Zheng took down those three ships in one fell swoop, which made them unable to know the situation of our army, so... Benbro is looking forward to them staying there and it would be even better if he could continue to move forward."
"Set off!"
"We are going to fight the enemy!"
The fleet cheered, and the soldiers who had never encountered enemies after going out to sea finally had a goal.
Fang Xing called Liu Pu to the side and said, "Whatever this person says about dignity, then he will definitely be worthy of face. And I asked you to beat him in public, instead of letting the Jinyiwei come up and punish him, it is humiliating him and destroying his so-called dignity..."
There was still an expression of excitement on Liu Pu's face, and he said disappointedly: "No wonder... But Brother Dehua, how can you see his nature?"
