One thousand and twenty-five chapters: desperate (eighth)

At this time, Ye Chunqiu said: "Have you ever thought that we are here, the capital behind us, the guards are our wives and children, our Majesty and my mother. Those new soldiers should be very calm now. They have experienced many battles, but this time... there is a real risk. I want to take him to survive."

As he said that, Ye Chunqiu had a little firmness in his eyes.

Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, so why don’t he know Ye Chunqiu’s “good intentions”? The tension in his heart has gradually decreased a lot.

It had long been that people had used stinky socks to plug Wang Hanzhong's mouth that kept screaming and sucking pain, and the king and his ministers started drinking tea quietly.

I sat there until the fourth update, and the rooster crowed.

Zhu Houzhao stood up with a stretch and smiled and said, "I am still planning to sleep. Oh... it seems that I can't sleep anymore, but now I'm very energetic."

He stood up excitedly, looked at Ye Chunqiu and continued, "Will the Folang Jiren really come?"

Although he usually has an instinctive trust in Ye Chunqiu, Zhu Houzhao still lacks confidence. He hopes that Ye Chunqiu will give him a positive answer.

Ye Chunqiu also suddenly stood up, pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist, and suddenly became thunderous and violent. His eyes suddenly became a little sharper, and he said, "If you come or not, you will have to take a gamble."

After saying that, Ye Chunqiu opened the door and said to the outside: "Come."

Obviously there was always someone guarding it outside. At this time, a new army student in the town said: "Here."

Ye Chunqiu ordered without hesitation: "Let the students prepare and gather."

Not far away, there was no sound of bamboo whistles. This time the assembly was obviously different from the past. The place where the Zhenguo New Army was stationed was just a few nearby inns. More than a dozen people were in a guest room, and Wang Shouren went to pat the door first. The people who were waiting for him did not take off their armor at all, so they immediately dispersed and hurriedly called everyone. Then countless people gathered at the city gate. After being controlled by the Jinyiwei, the city gate had quietly opened the city gate, and more and more people gathered here.

Those who arrived were checking the rifles and ammunition in their hands, and everyone was silent. Today, everyone was not wearing plate armor, but very ordinary military uniforms, long clothes and trousers, and leather boots under their feet. This was customized with the rifle. In front of the musket of the Flang Jimen, the protection of plate armor was obviously meaningless.

This plate armor has been worn by the new army of Zhenguo. Now that the plate armor is removed, it gives them a feeling of being as light as a swallow, as if they are all light.

During the step exercise, plate armor and iron boots have become training items. Only when practicing, everyone needs to wear thick plate armor. When it comes to real combat, everyone is extremely relaxed.

When everyone gathered together, they began to whisper and waited in the dark with breath.

They were like a group of cheetahs looking for prey, looking extremely patient, and no one complained at all.

Wang Shouren was also anxiously waiting for the news. At the Tanggu Port, there was already a Jinyiwei lurking. As long as there was news, the Kongming lantern would immediately rise.

Now, the night sky above is full of stars, and no one wants to appreciate such beautiful scenery. Everyone has different moods, but none of them put their minds on the dazzling stars in the sky.

Dada dada...

The sound of horse hooves came from a distance. After a while, Zhu Houzhao and Ye Chunqiu came on horseback from the city.

After Zhu Houzhao arrived, he turned over and dismounted. No one saluted him, but he was also used to it. He just came to Wang Shouren and looked at Wang Shouren with a smile and said, "Old Wang, if you win this time, I will give you an additional title."

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren are definitely people who hate each other. In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, Wang Shouren is not a thing, but in Wang Shouren's eyes, Zhu Houzhao is definitely a standard foolish monarch. However, tonight, Wang Shouren did not speak up for justice, but bowed seriously: "Please be careful with your Majesty."

………………………………………

At this time, under the night sky, in the raging waves, more than 30 ships were getting closer and closer to the coast, and there were almost no big winds and waves outside the sea of ​​Tianjin. However, in the late night, the bows of more than 30 ships cut the raging waves, like arrows, the car was filled with sails, cruising under the stars, causing thousands of splashes.

The ship was full of people, and the people holding compass shouted wildly on the ship, while the military officers on the ship searched for the land to the west with a telescope.

Shipping at night is the most dangerous, especially when it is close to the inland at night, and it is very likely to hit the reefs, but the people on the ship were not worried, as if they knew the seas in this area. They unfolded the charts and spread the sheepskin charts on the salty and wet and corroded ship platforms. The charts were covered in oil. They held the lantern and kept looking down, looking at the position of the compass, whispering in Portuguese.

The person in the lead is short and chubby, with a triangular military cap on his head and a wool-screwed military uniform. Compared with other sailors and sailors, he looks glamorous.

Alfonso, the governor of Malacca, was over thirty years old. This little noble from the Faro region of Portugal, completed several feats in less than ten years. He used as an officer to fight the Ottoman Empire in North Africa and defeated the elite Kapikuru cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. After that, he brought ships to suppress the civil unrest in Portugal Ceylon. Finally, with the support of the king, he led his fleet all the way east, and only the Portuguese Kingdom opened up the territory of Malacca.

With the power of 1,200 men and more than a dozen ships, he defeated tens of thousands of local soldiers in Malacca. In one night, he destroyed the Manlacca Kingdom and incorporated the pearl of the Far East into the territory of the kingdom.

Such little nobles are often the most eager to make merits. When he learned of the huge wealth from the ancient empire in the east, he was determined to continue to take risks. He had already conducted such adventures too many times. He found a local Han man in Malacca as a guide, and then reorganized the fleet of Ceylon and the fleet of Malacca, recruited 2,700 sailors and more than 300 sailors, and embarked on the journey without hesitation.

Governor Alfonso was originally a bit awe for this ancient empire, but after attacking Quanzhou, he began to feel relaxed. The Han people named Wang Hanzhong were indeed right. The soldiers here did not have much discipline, their morale was also very dispersed, and there was almost no tactics to speak of, which made him full of confidence in the next decisive battle.
