open sea

Chapter 384 Breakable
Yang Zhaolong is really having fun.

Limited to family education, he and his elder brother Yang Yinglong were different from the beginning. What Yang Yinglong learned was governing, and it was the balancing mind of the emperor of Bozhou, who wanted to protect the family and serve the country.

He learned to lead soldiers, learn to govern, and learn to obey.

Obey the clan and obey the elder brother. Now that the Yang family has a son-in-law like Chen Erye who has power in several provinces, the Sichuan officials will take a high look at their clan and dare not bully them like before. With everyone proud, Yang Zhaolong's mind is alive up.

He didn't want to die of old age in Bozhou, and he also thought about going out for a stroll, for example, to Guangdong, Huguang, and Shaanxi, to see the scenery he had never seen in those places.

Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law sent a letter to Bozhou, and my brother sent someone to send him to sea.

This is good, the things I saw have never been heard of, or I have never heard of them.

The fleet to Xinming Island set sail from Mindoro. A [-]-material big shark ship was the flagship of Yang Zhaolong, accompanied by four small shark ships and eight big blessings, and traveled all the way southward.

There are [-] families in the fleet and a team of [-] people in the Banner Army. The people are all from the Xuanwei Division of Bozhou. There are Han, Miao, Yao, and Tu. There are hunters and butchers. They cover almost all types of life in Bozhou. Not all technologies.

It was all Chen Mu's request. The Nanyang yamen's transfer order was sent by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to Sichuan, and then sent to Yang Yinglong by Sichuan.

The four small shark boats carried the Banner Centurion, on the one hand, they acted as guides, and on the other hand, they also acted as their protectors after they landed. A small army of all the people to deal with the conflicts with the local natives.

It is not difficult to sail along the way. From Manila to Java, the ancestors of Fujian and Guangxi lived and settled on the coasts of various countries along the way, and it is easy to replenish supplies.If it weren't for these ancestors, it would be impossible for Chen Mu's fleet to find Australia, which he named Xinming based on his impression.

But even so, sailing is much more difficult than Yang Zhaolong imagined.

The nautical charts they used were recently drawn. The Nanyang Banner Army’s drawing under Chen Mu’s teaching is more realistic than the original one, and it is more recognizable than when Sanbao went to Nanyang. However, the scenery of various places is still the data of Zheng He’s period. When the fleet sailed to Java, there was a big disturbance.

Yang Zhaolong has always been thinking about it. Men in Java carry knives, and everyone cherishes their heads. If someone touches a child's head and his father sees it, he will definitely draw his knife and kill him. Ming people like to touch children's heads, which means intimacy , so he repeatedly warned the people under his command on the boat: This is the country of Java, and you must not touch other people's heads.

The result was a fight.

A hundred years have passed in a hurry, the territory has changed and the dynasties have risen and fallen. The Majapahit Kingdom, which used to dominate Southeast Asia and resist the invasion of the Yuan army, has become a thing of the past.

These soldiers, nobles, merchants and Hindu monks came to this beautiful island and brought prosperity, but the island was too small and the population was too small to make a significant difference.

Yang Zhaolong didn’t touch the child’s head. After his people landed, they talked about the country of Java without knowing it—the country of Java that now occupies the former land of the Majapahit Dynasty. Who is the country of Java.

For them, this is just a journey, far from a depressing journey to the end. The beautiful scenery of Bali has added a touch of color to their journey this time. Who cares about other things?
Think about it, Yang Zhaolong should have expected that when his people talked about the Java state and made the local people unhappy, these people from Bozhou, who have been regarded as barbarians all day long, finally had the opportunity to reprimand the barbarians condescendingly, and conflicts would not be possible. avoid.

The young Yang Zhaolong was sitting on the shore, and three beautiful maids were cooking seafood delicacies for him, admiring the beautiful sunset.Not far away, more people are loading the luggage purchased from the shore onto the boats. After finishing the last few boats, they can sit leisurely on the shore like Yang Zhaolong, eat some food and have a good sleep on the shore.

The family members of the Liu family who accompanied the boat urged the flag army to set up watchtowers and simple wooden fences to prevent accidents. They must spend the night on the shore.The boat was rickety and overcrowded, and there was no time for a good night's sleep.

The hunters who entered the forest held a crossbow and held a long spear, carrying the hunted game and yelling loudly in Sichuan language to eat barbecue at night. Everything looked relaxed and leisurely.

It's just that Yang Zhaolong kicked the pot over before he ate the fragrant fish soup. Because of the roar from a distance, more than ten local natives chased his people with knives and bows, shouting Ming Dynasty. Words that people can't understand are full of murderous intent.

A few strong Ming people held wooden sticks and baskets to protect the women and children behind them and fought and retreated, but they were not as numerous as the natives, who were both far and near, and nearly half of them were shot before they ran a dozen steps. After a charge, no native opponents were found, and they were all stabbed to death with short knives in a blink of an eye.

Followed by women and children, the sound of crying shook Lin Jiandao for a while, who could have expected such a change.

"Those with soldiers step forward!"

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered, Yang Zhaolong was furious. He stepped forward with his bare hands, and ordered the nine-strand Miao warrior who followed suit with a crossbow and threw a spear: "Kill them, Liu Baihu!"

At this time, there is no need to give orders, two barefoot Miao warriors grabbed the ring swords and stepped forward to meet the natives' attack. A native who would stab a child.

Although the Miao crossbow does not have a front sight trigger, the crossbow bolt can be equipped with iron clusters to smash the iron armor. Yang Zhaolong is surrounded by the most aggressive tiger man in the state. The two warriors are the first to fight, one with a short spear and the other with a ring knife to attack and defend each other. In the blink of an eye, he cut off the head of a person.

In just a few breaths, two young generals shouted from the simple watchtower, and more than a dozen banner troops fired their guns horizontally. After a burst of crackling, they knocked down the few people who were shocked by the bravery of the Miao soldiers. The natives didn't dare to fight any more, they turned their heads and ran back the way they came.

Although Liu Baihu is not a veteran general, he is also a veteran who followed Chen Mu in the South and North Wars from Heyuan. He immediately ordered the flag army to pursue him. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that letting these people run back would cause endless harm, but they In the end, he still couldn't catch up.

Seeing the natives disappear into the jungle, Liu Baihu said to Yang Zhaolong: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. There are more than a thousand families in the city. Once the enemy moves troops, we will not be able to get any benefits. The left and right have been supplied with water and food. Mr. Yang, hurry up." Let's get on board and set sail."

"Departure?"

Yang Zhaolong didn't want to set off, he was so angry when he saw the people under his command being massacred, he was asking people to take off their armor and spears from the boat, and with a call to the boat, more than [-] Bozhou troops were armed.

"Ri his mother, I just let these thousands of people be killed for no reason?" Yang Zhaolong put on his iron pocket, raised his sword and pointed far away: "There are still hundreds of people who haven't come back. I'm going to the city to kill them." Get out, take someone with me."

"Mr. Yang, Chen Shuai ordered you to escort you to Xinming, but he didn't say that he will fight here, not to mention that the enemy army is four to five hundred people less. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait..."

"A reward of one hundred taels of silver, if you come back alive, brother-in-law, then I will tell you, if you are in a different place, I don't believe that brother-in-law can turn around and go to sea and leave us alone."

Liu Baihu was about to answer, but before he could say anything, Yang Zhaolong stopped him with his hand and said, "500 taels, if you don't follow, just watch the boat here, don't stop me!"

Liu Baihu took a sharp breath, gritted his teeth and looked back at the sea fleet, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Chen Shuai prepared a lot of firearms on board earlier, and left them to Xinming to protect myself. If you use guns...the city can be broken."
