Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 365 Naval Battle: Who wants to kill the fourth child!

bang bang bang...

Thick sea fog and smoke from artillery fire enveloped the entire sea.

The sound of shelling gradually died down.

The sea fog and smoke did not dissipate for a long time.

"Fourth Uncle!" A arrogant shout came from the sea fog, "Father said that you have no way out. You are still brothers after all. As long as you are willing to surrender obediently, Father is willing to give you a way out! "

"Zhu Yongming's only request before he died was that for the sake of brotherhood, my father would give you and your fourth aunt a way out."

……

"Heavy eight!"

Ah!
Inside the bedroom of Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sweating profusely and woke up suddenly from his dream. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, but he was trembling violently.

When she saw Ma Xiuying's face clearly, the fear, anger, and murderous intent slowly dissipated.

Ma Xiuying asked with worry on her face: "What's wrong?"

Just now, Chongba suddenly shouted "No" and "Who!" in his sleep.Who wants to kill the fourth child! '

Zhu Yuanzhang's inner lining was soaked through.

He stood up exhausted, took the towel from Ma Xiuying, wiped the cold sweat on his face, and looked around again with lingering fear in his eyes.

It is definitely in Kunning Palace.

After confirming that it was a dream, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was a nightmare."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying didn't want to say more.

But this dream is about the fourth child!

She did not forget that when she went to Qingtian to invite Liu Bowen back to the court, the fourth child also had a dream.

Until now, in order to let the fourth child sleep soundly and peacefully, Miaoyun girl insists on watching the fourth child soaking his feet with medicinal herbs every day.

Although she didn't ask what kind of dream the fourth child had, it had such a huge impact.

But I guessed at the time that it was probably related to the Zhu family.

Chongba shouted, 'Who wants to kill the fourth child! '

What kind of dream is it?

"In your dream, who wanted to kill the fourth child?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and saw Ma Xiuying staring at him seriously. He knew that if he didn't say anything, Xiuying would definitely be uneasy.

"We can't see clearly. The environment in the dream should be on the sea. There is a kind of water battle that we have never seen before. The sound of artillery firing is everywhere..."

Sea fog and smoke shrouded the place.

He couldn't even see clearly what the battle captain looked like or what the artillery looked like.

It can only be judged from the jets of flames that there are at least tens of thousands of artillery pieces.

As the horseback emperor who brought down the Ming Dynasty, of course he had seen artillery.

But he had never seen with his own eyes the scene of tens of thousands of artillery firing.

But I saw it in my dream.

terrible!

The whole world shook with the sound of shelling.

Can Biaoer be armed with so many artillery pieces?

How to put so many warships on the warship.

Laosi's best warship only had twelve cannons.

There are tens of thousands of artillery pieces in Biao'er's naval force, which means there are a thousand naval warships.

A thousand warships and ten thousand cannons?

Was the Ming Dynasty so wealthy?
Even if the Ming Dynasty was rich, it could have thousands of warships equipped with tens of thousands of cannons.

Is that also the credit of the fourth child?

The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty should originate from rural communities.

When putting artillery on a warship, he must have learned from Lao Si.

The fourth child has given great enlightenment and has given Biao'er so much. In this nonsensical nightmare, why does Biao'er want to drive the fourth child away and kill them all?
They killed Yong Ming and Qi Hua.

Hypocrisy gave Laosi and his wife a way out.

This kind of living is probably more uncomfortable than death, right?
He could even imagine the old man and his wife, shrouded in sea fog and smoke, standing on the warship, desperate for death.

The fourth child in the dream, if expected, would eventually develop into this ending.

I will definitely regret it and work hard to promote rural village communities in the Ming Dynasty.

I will definitely regret being honest with the viewing group.

I will definitely regret it and return to Korea to help in the war in the near future.

I will definitely regret it...

"There's no way a hero can be so heartless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite eldest grandson could not be so heartless.

After hearing the whole dream, Ma Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "It must be you who have been thinking about their naval battle to suppress bandits these past few days. You have been thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

And some worries.

This battle can be said to be the first battle launched by Lao Si to exterminate pirates based on Dongfan.

Will there be any surprises?

Before today.

He knew he owed this son.

But I have never reflected on how much I owe.

I just realized that Lao Si has done a lot for Ming Dynasty.

The fourth child has done so much for Ming Dynasty.

In order to avoid suspicion, he wanted to leave Daming.

After doing this, Biao'er could not bear to attack the fourth child?

No matter how well Laosi develops overseas.

That’s not enough reason to take action against the fourth child, right?

……

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang never fell asleep again.

Thinking about various issues.

……

"Quick! Lower the sail!"

"Blow the trumpet! Order all warships to lower their sails!"

……

Eighth day of sailing south.

It is said that it is very close to Palawan Island.

It’s only one day’s journey away.

The past few days had been sunny and windy, and everyone was very relaxed as they gradually adapted to the rough seas.

But the sea, which is sunny and windy, can change at any time.

……

woohoo...

Amidst the noisy and nervous shouts, the depressing horn sounded from the flagship over and over again.

clap la la...

In the strong wind, the lowered sail made a rustling sound.

Yu Tongyuan stood beside Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others, looked at the busy naval officers, and explained: "The sails are lowered to prevent the wind from being too strong and directly overturning the warship. Look at the black clouds over there. I have never seen such a Terrible black cloud..."

No need for Yu Tongyuan to remind you.

Lan Yu and others had already stared at the black clouds in the distance.

The clouds should still be far away from them.

It was as dark as ink, and in the clouds that blocked the sky, arcs flashed intensively, but the thunder that reached the warship was very weak.

It's not that thunder is quiet.

But the clouds were still far away from everyone, so the sound sounded a little soft.

But the clouds are moving very fast!
Just before a stick of incense, the sky was still clear.

But at this moment, the cloud has turned from a small black dot, making people breathless.

The black shadow cast from a distance even enveloped a hundred warships floating on the sea.

The noise in the sky is getting louder and louder.

The sea also adds fuel to the fire.

Visible to the naked eye, the sea surface is undulating more violently, and the warship underfoot is rocking and bumping even more violently!

Snapped!
The tip of my nose suddenly felt ice cold.

Lan Yu raised her hand and touched it, then looked down at the water stains on her fingertips.

The other hand was holding on to the guardrail of the warship, subconsciously tightening it.

The wind has already carried the scattered raindrops falling from the distant clouds, falling on the tip of the nose. Can the black cloud in the distance, which makes them, who are used to seeing the living and the dead, feel palpitated, still be far away?
blah blah blah...

The sound of hurried footsteps came.

Everyone turned their heads...

Yu Jing walked over quickly holding a bundle of ropes.

boom!
Throwing it directly in front of everyone in the viewing group, "Yongchang Marquis, let everyone tie their bodies with ropes immediately and tie them to the warship guardrails, masts and other facilities."

Lan Yu glanced at Fang Xiaoru and the others, who were already pale, and pretended to be relaxed: "You are weak, do as instructed by Commander Yu."

He has never had this experience.

I was a little nervous inside.

But his skills and physique don't require a rope.

At that time, all you need to do is hold on to the guardrail of the warship. There is no need to make yourself so embarrassed.

Yu Jing looked at Lan Yu and the generals with strange eyes, "Don't try too hard, Marquis Yongchang. The waves are very big. A single wave may even break the warship. Don't say you are a landlubber. The ship is bumping too much on the sea. It's all gone." The unstable road means that the navy officers on our warships will have to tie themselves to the ship later. We don’t want you to come and watch. In the future, even the bodies will not be able to be secured. Once they fall off the ship later, the waves will sweep down. , when the storm calms down, your body may already be in Malacca!"

After saying that, Yu Jing didn't care anymore, turned around and went to work.

Although there is a prince commanding.

But such a serious change of weather has never been encountered since the establishment of the Navy.

The soldiers who used to be pirates even described the current weather conditions as very scary.

After Yu Jing left, Lan Yu stared at the rope in front of him, hesitant.

snort!
Xu Da glanced at Lan Yu, hummed slightly, bent down and picked up a rope.

Mu Ying and Yu Tongyuan followed suit.

Yu Tongyuan looked at the navy officers who were ready, and as expected, he also started to hold the rope to fix his body, reminding: "Lanyu, now is not the time to show off."

Lan Yu immediately bent down and picked up the rope.

He was just waiting for someone to persuade him.

In fact, after Yu Jing finished speaking, he became even more nervous.

boom!
Just when Lan Yu fixed his body to the guardrail of the warship, there was a sudden roar above his head.

look up……

The clouds were approaching at some point.

Dense raindrops fell the moment I raised my head.

next second.

Everyone felt that everything was dark.

The wind howled, and the raindrops hit his face like knives.

Not far away, a wave is getting higher and higher...

Snapped!
When everyone in the observation group looked up blankly, the waves, which were higher than the warship, hit them hard, and the warship suddenly tilted and rocked.

The squeaking sound of the hull reached my ears, which was terrifying.

It was cold.

It seemed that such a huge warship equipped with 24 cannons could suddenly disintegrate at any time.

The warship was like a small leaf in a basin, swinging violently in the stormy waves.

At this moment, Lan Yu truly realized how small she was.

……

The pouring rain and huge waves lasted for half an hour before they gradually subsided.

Half an hour.

a very short time.

But everyone seems to be living like a year.

When the clouds disappeared in the distance with the wind, the sea became calm, and the bright sunshine shone on everyone who was surviving the disaster. "Brother Zicheng?"

"Huang Zicheng!"

……

Lan Yu was startled when she heard the call.

Huang Zicheng was washed away by the waves?
As the person in charge of the observation group, he didn't want this to happen.

follow the sound...

After heaving a sigh of relief, the corners of his lips twitched in anger.

Huang Zicheng was hanging outside the guardrail of the warship like a dead fish, completely unconscious.

Lan Yu quickly untied the rope, came to Huang Zicheng's side, reached out and grabbed Huang Zicheng back, and frowned subconsciously.

Stink!

This bastard must have shit in his pants from fear.

I must have peed too, but the sea washed it away.

But... Daddy can't wash away!
'Disgraceful bastard! '

Lan Yu was angry and funny, but he could also be sympathetic. For the past half hour, he had been filled with fear.

What's more, Huang Zicheng is a civil servant.

What's more, this guy was thrown out of the warship and was hanging outside.

Can……

What a shame!

boom!
Throwing the person down directly made a dull sound.

Huang Zicheng turned pale and woke up. When he saw Lan Yu, he was still immersed in the fear just now. He hugged Lan Yu's legs and said, "Marquis Yongchang, save me, save me!"

……

Huang Zicheng's bizarre farce.

This caused the navy soldiers who were already busy on the ship to burst into laughter.

……

After a stick of incense.

Lan Yu and others stood nearby, listening to Yu Jing's report, "Your Highness, the masts of three warships were broken, and another one suffered irreversible damage, the keel was broken, and the soldiers are being transferred..."

Boom!

At this moment, a dull cracking sound came from behind.

The crowd looked at the sound.

A warship was broken into two parts in the middle and slowly sank. At the same time, a huge waterspout appeared around it.

The corners of Lan Yu's eyes twitched violently.

"Your Majesty, the rescue warship sent a signal and all the soldiers were moved. All the supplies on the warship were too late to be moved..."

At this moment, the commanding officer standing on the mast shouted loudly down.

When Fang Xiaoru and others heard that there were no casualties, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Di with lingering fear.

Zhu Di immediately ordered: "Order to leave five unmodified warships and tow three damaged warships behind to continue southward..."

The current location is too far away from Dongfan.

It would be unsafe for a warship to turn back with a damaged mast.

Might as well continue south.

As long as you arrive in Luzon, you can perform simple maintenance.

There is no need to think about joining the war.

……

After a brief rest, the warship continued heading south.

after one day.

Palawan Island.

This is the base camp of pirates.

When the fleet arrives.

The pirates have been alerted.

Dozens of pirate warships sailed out.

Chen Zhong stood at the bow of the ship, looking solemnly at the vast fleet of more than 90 warships in front of him.

"General, this is Zhu Silang's navy, a new warship?"

All pirates are attracted by the dark muzzles above the waterline of the ship's cabin.

"General, what should we do? Zhu Silang has a hundred battleships."

"Run, we have too few warships."

……

All kinds of pessimistic comments came into my ears.

Chen Zhong was unmoved.

If he ran away without a fight, it would be equivalent to directly handing over Palawan Island to Zhu Silang, and Zhu Silang's naval tentacles would extend further and further south.

At the same time, if you don't fight, you will never know the power of Zhu Silang's new warship.

snort!
Chen Zhong snorted coldly, interrupted the discussion, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? He has artillery, and we have catapults!"

The general heard in Malacca that Zhu Silang moved artillery to warships and refitted more than a dozen warships.

He has seen it with his own eyes.

The accuracy of the artillery was poor.

It's not even as accurate as the catapults everyone has been using.

"Send the order and form a triangle assault formation!"

The warships attacked in a triangular assault formation and finished the formation, launching a battle to join the gang.

Even if Zhu Silang has a large number of warships, the only warships that can take over the gang are peripheral warships.

As long as Zhu Silang is not allowed to break through the warship formation.

He has many warships and many troops, but he can't exert his advantage in the battle of joining the gang!

woo woo woo...

As Chen Zhong's order was issued.

The horn sounded.

……

on the flagship.

"The other party's commander is very good at water warfare." Standing next to Lan Yu, Yu Tongyuan explained when he saw the pirate warships starting to form a glyph formation: "With this formation, once a gang battle occurs, although we have many warships here, , but the force projection area is only the warships on the periphery of the formation..."

Everyone listened to Yu Tongyuan's explanation and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked calm and ordered: "The unmodified warships form a formation and do not participate in the battle. They patrol the periphery of the battlefield and monitor. The warships with modified artillery are lined up in a row and roll back towards the enemy's flanks to outflank..."

As Zhu Di issued the order.

The soldiers controlled the sails and took the lead in spreading out in a straight line.

As they approached the pirate warship, both wings began to fill up their sails, speeding up and rolling back towards the pirate formation to outflank it.

In the process, they all pointed the side of the ship at the enemy's position.

"Crossfire! Crossfire again!" Mu Ying suddenly murmured, raising her hand to explain, "Look, the two wings are rolled up to outflank. Once the enemy array enters, they will be hit by artillery crossfire. The fourth child should be in order to improve Artillery accuracy.”

No one spoke.

He just subconsciously grasped the guardrail of the warship and pursed his lips tightly.

"Nine hundred steps!"

"Eight hundred steps!"

……

On the mast, the lookout responsible for observation began to report the distance.

On the warship, in front of each cannon, the soldiers were ready to go.

The helmsman, while controlling the sails and thus the warship, slowly lowers the sails to slow down the warship.

"Five hundred steps!"

Yu Jing stood next to Zhu Di, turned his head, and said nervously and excitedly: "Your Highness, we have entered the artillery range."

Zhu Di was unmoved.

"450 steps!"

"emission!"

When the watchman sounded the distance signal again, Zhu Di gave an order sharply.

woo woo woo...

The trumpet sounding the order was sounded.

bang bang bang...

The twelve guns on the port side of the flagship opened fire first.

bang bang bang...

Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound of thunder resounded across the entire sea in an instant.

Fire shot out and smoke rose.

160 iron bullets, carrying huge kinetic energy, hit hard in the direction of the pirate array.

……

The moment the sound of shelling came out, Chen Zhong's body trembled suddenly.

The momentum is too great.

This is more powerful than Malacca, the general's dozens of warships modified with artillery.

Bang bang bang!
Iron bullets hit the middle of the array of warships, gradually raising waves higher than the warships.

Click!

A strange cracking sound sounded.

Chen Zhong looked around and saw a warship in the middle of the formation. By coincidence, the mast was hit by an iron bullet, and the mast broke and fell down.

The warship next to it hurriedly avoided when the mast and sail were smashed down.

The warships that followed behind them evaded in a panic in order to avoid the warships that had lost their masts and power.

For a moment, the formation was in chaos visible to the naked eye.

A bad premonition came over my heart.

'Luck, this is just Zhu Silang's good luck, the artillery is not accurate at all. '

……

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

……

While Chen Zhong silently encouraged himself, everyone in the observation group on the flagship shouted excitedly.

Lan Yu couldn't help clenching her fists tightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Zhu Di and the naval officers on the warship.

Zhu Di was unmoved.

The naval officers were even more busy loading gunpowder and iron bullets.

bang bang bang...

Another round of shelling began.

……

"what!"

"The water is running out! The water is running out!"

……

Chen Zhong heard the noisy shouts, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

As the distance approached, about a dozen iron bullets hit our own warship this time.

The formation is getting more and more chaotic!
Three hundred steps!
Get closer to three hundred steps!

As long as it gets closer to three hundred steps, the catapult on the warship will have a chance to fight back.

The strike range of the catapult was only three hundred paces.

His biggest mistake was allowing Zhu Silang to gain the upper hand.

Failed to seize the upper hand!
"General, three hundred steps!"

"Your Highness, three hundred steps later, we have entered the attack range of the pirate catapult!"

On the two flagships, reminders reached Chen Zhong and Zhu Di's ears almost simultaneously...

Lan Yu and others also understood that the other party was about to fight back, and subconsciously clenched the guardrail of the warship...
