Chapter 440: Baga! The Ming army is all demons!(1/2)
"I want to eat fish today."
At the front of the dock pier in the bay, the Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong of the Ming Dynasty, was wearing a battle armor and a long sword on his waist. He calmly stared at the sea and spoke of today's menu in a warm tone.
Tie Xuan, who had left the camp together and was rarely wearing a piece of soft armor under his coat, looked helplessly at the speedboat that had already set off under the pier.
Making a quick decision, Tie Xuan raised his hands to cover his ears.
Not long after the clipper left the trestle, it stopped about a hundred meters ahead.
The officers and soldiers on the ship lifted a large wooden barrel that was almost as tall as a man and was wrapped in iron sheets, and after working on it for a while, they suddenly saw a line of green smoke rising.
As soon as the big wooden barrel was pushed into the sea, the officers and soldiers on both sides of the ship began paddling desperately.
The clipper quickly moved away from the range of the big wooden barrel falling into the water.
Under the gaze of everyone on the trestle, time entered a long but short wait.
Following a strange movement, something happened under the sea.
Within the range clearly visible to the naked eye, a bright light flashed under the deep sea. Then the entire calm sea surface, which was only pushed by gentle waves, swelled as if it was filled with air.
The trestle began to fluctuate slightly and regularly.
Immediately afterwards, the blown sea surface finally reached a certain critical point, and the high bulging sea surface exploded.
The roar swept from the sea to the bay.
First, little drops of water splashed wantonly, and then huge water columns rose into the sky. The seawater reflected the sunlight, leaving patches of shining light in the sky.
The huge air waves carried the moist sea water and pressed it all around. When it reached the trestle, it turned into a fine water vapor bath.
When the impact force completely disappeared, the seawater rising into the air lost its thrust and began to crash towards the sea surface again.
Tie Xuan skillfully hid behind Li Jinglong.
As soon as he regained his footing, strings of seawater hit the pier.
Ding ding ding.
The water drops hit Li Jinglong's armor, making a pleasant sound.
Tie Xuan, who was hiding behind him, listened, and a burst of heroic laughter came from Li Jinglong's mouth.
The trestle under his feet was soaked by the sea water, and Tie Xuan poked his head out from behind Li Jinglong.
Just like in the past, as those sea water columns returned to the sea, a layer of all kinds of sea fish, large and small, floated on the sea surface with their bellies turned.
And the speedboat that had previously escaped from the explosion scene was paddling to the scene again.
The officers and soldiers set up nets and kept catching big fish floating on the sea.
The actions of the officers and soldiers seemed very skillful. It was obvious that this was not the first time for such an activity, and they returned home with a full load in a short time.
A small flag officer tied up a sea fish as tall as a person and boarded the trestle.
The fish was hit hard to the ground, and the flag officer clasped his hands in his fists: "General, this is the biggest fish caught today."
Li Jinglong was smiling all over his face, but he just lowered his head and glanced briefly. Although he raised his head to look at the group of crouched audience members not far behind him, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in the middle of his breath.
"Ma-kun Yoshinodera, is this fish enough for you to eat today?"
Li Jinglong calmly asked Yoshinoderama, the Japanese envoy to the Southern Dynasties who had led his team here early this morning.
Tie Xuan, who was standing next to Li Jinglong, looked away for a moment, and then he realized why the other party would choose to fry fish today and say such things.
Yoshinoderama had been very happy in the past few years when he visited Yingtian City of the Ming Dynasty, which attracted the Ming army across the sea and temporarily stabilized Yoshinoya's territorial rule in the Southern Dynasty.
But recently, I feel so worried that I want to kill myself.
Hearing the call of Li Jinglong, Duke Cao of the Ming Dynasty and the general of the Japanese-controlled army, Yoshino Temple trembled all over.
The others were still bent over, clasping their hands together, fearful and uneasy in their hearts. They raised their heads timidly, with a flattering smile on their faces: "The great general is so powerful that no one in Japan knows it! Today the great general has given it to us.
It’s an honor for me to enjoy this big fish!”
While speaking, Yoshinoderama looked cautiously at the stormy sea, and the circles of ripples seemed to be reflected on his heart.
The roaring waves before were deeply engraved in Yoshinoderama's mind.
Ming Dynasty is invincible.
The group of Ming soldiers in front of them were demons who came from the Central Plains that had existed for thousands of years, riding on huge ships that the Japanese country could not build in their lifetime, and bringing with them a man-eating mouth.
Yoshinoderama's respect, or humility, is visible to the naked eye.
The officials from the Japanese and Southern Dynasties who came with him didn't even have the courage to speak, so they had to bend down and bow and nod.
No one wants the Ming army to use the things that can tear the sea apart on themselves.
Li Jinglong seemed to be particularly happy because of today's catch.
He stepped forward lightly, and after briefly restraining his expression, a bright smile filled his face again, and he put his hand on Yoshinoderama's shoulder.
With just such a gentle touch, Yoshinoderama's entire body was already several inches shorter, and her forehead shone a little brighter.
Rumor has it that the Ming Dynasty's invincible naval fleet disappeared at sea without a trace.
Rumor has it that the millions of gold and silver shipped by the Ming Dynasty’s invincible naval fleet also disappeared.
Rumor has it that the invincible Ming Dynasty is now full of anger. Even those civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, who are always known for their gentleness and elegance, are already standing in the towering tower in Yingtian City, which seems to be impossible to climb in their lifetime.
In the Fengtian Temple, there was an angry roar.
Rumor has it that the invincible Ming Dynasty will send a million troops to clear out the entire ocean, leaving nothing but Ming Dynasty ships.
Rumors one after another poured into the capital of the Southern Dynasty like the strongest tide.
Although every rumor did not mention the Japanese state or the Southern Dynasties.
But no one dares to take it lightly.
Everyone is afraid that the angry Ming Dynasty will turn its anger on the Japanese country because its majesty has been insulted, and on the Yoshinoya of the Southern Dynasty who finally took a few breaths.
Li Jinglong walked towards the camp with the familiar Japanese under his arm. His eyes were erratic and his voice seemed a little erratic: "I heard that your Yoshino family is gathering troops recently? But you want to go north to attack the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty? If so, Terama
As long as you say this, I, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, will serve Yoshinoya."
Yoshinodera's numb body tensed up, not daring to make the slightest move, and said humbly: "Go back to the general, the family has gathered troops and horses these days, just because there is some turmoil in the place, and a lot of thieves have appeared. The family has gathered troops and horses,
It’s just to catch those damn thieves.”
"Oh...is that so?" Li Jinglong muttered twice with doubts and disenchantment, and then patted Yoshinoderama's shoulder heartily, making him a few inches shorter: "Actually, as long as Terama-kun says
In one sentence, the Ming Dynasty will be able to help Lord Teruma pacify the Northern Dynasties and unify the entire Japanese kingdom this year."
Yoshinoderama's face stiffened, and laughter burst out of her throat: "The family has relied on the Great Ming Dynasty in the past few years to have a few years of breathing space. It has never dared to think of unifying the entire Japanese country."
After saying that, Yoshinodera's eyes rolled.
Even at this time, he did not forget to give his opponent a stumbling block.
Yoshinoderama said: "It's the Ashikaga family. Don't look at them being honest in front of you, General. You don't know, General. After they return, they will scold you, General, and Kamigoku."
Tie Xuan, who followed the two men, suppressed a smile.
This Yoshinoderama seems not to realize the seriousness of the current matter, or perhaps he is imagining that the matter will eventually be blamed on the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty.
Li Jinglong snorted: "What do they scold?"
"General, return to camp!"
"Open the camp gate!"
In front, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the camp watched the group of people coming back from a distance, and immediately shouted loudly.
Looking at the city-like camp built by the Ming army in just a few years, Yoshinoderama felt countless envy for the Ming Dynasty in his heart.
He immediately said: "They scolded the general for being lustful and incompetent, scolded the Ming Dynasty for using the strong to bully the weak, and using the strong to bully the weak. They also said... and said that if there was no Ming Dynasty, they would have unified the Japanese country. By that time... by that time...
"
When Yoshinoderama spoke to the end, she deliberately prolonged her tone, just to avoid saying the last words.
However, Li Jinglong did not go as he expected.
"Welcome the general back to camp!"
Everyone crossed the camp gate, and to the surprise of Yoshinoderama and the other members of the Nanchao Yoshino family, there were actually countless officers and soldiers arrayed on both sides of the Ming army camp today.
Li Jinglong raised his arm on Yoshinoderama's shoulders, with a warm smile on his face, and said softly: "The Ming army is mighty!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
Thousands of officers and soldiers shouted together. Yoshinoderama and others in the middle of the crowd were frightened and panicked.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who were wearing armor, carrying long knives on their waists, holding long guns, and carrying muskets on their backs, had at their feet a cannon with a muzzle as big as a bowl of the sea.
This is an invincible army.
This is a group of demons raised by the Ming Dynasty to suppress all directions.
