open sea

Chapter 690 Allied Forces
The supply fleet from the imperial court arrived, Ma Gui and other Majia port generals stood in the port early, and the cannons pulled out from the Shuihufeng Cangpao Mountain were lined up on the shore. The flag army lined up and waited.

Dogs barked one after another from the camp behind them, and they also sensed the tension in the hearts of their masters.

Ma Gui looked into the distance with the binoculars, and there were more than [-] huge Ming Dynasty ships in the lens. Spanish warship with sails.

He watched carefully and repeatedly, and it seemed that there was no sea artillery battle between the two ships.

The bannermen around whispered a few times, and Ma Gui moved the binoculars slightly, only to find that there was a small boat that was less than a hundred materials ahead of the two large ships headed by the fleet. This ship was familiar to the Majiagang Bannermen. It was--that was a sloop they built themselves.

They built a total of five small boats called Xiaoma boats, and three of them are currently parked by the trestle bridge in Majia Harbor, and one has been turned over by the mast on the shore, and has been covered by snow into a small snow slope.

The remaining ship should be in the Zheng Tu Tribe at Zhuangyuan Bridge.

The fleet is gradually approaching the port, and the sails are lowered slowly. On the higher poop of the warships guarding the convoy, the flag bearers holding the colored flags of the five gods are waving. is conspicuous.

Ma Gui angrily put down the binoculars and gave an order to the flag troops under his command: "Raise the flag and let them stop the boat, send a luggage and toss a barbarian boat, we should still be attacked by the enemy!"

The two sides exchanged flags to confirm that they were allies. The fleet stopped on the coast of the small Majia Harbor. All the ships put down their small boats to carry the goods, and those who had no goods rowed towards the shore.

Ma Gui kept looking at the Spanish warship. He found that there were no portholes or muzzles on the Xiyi ship, but now the cannon muzzles were all nailed to death by wooden boards. Get off the boat and row the boat over first.

There was also the small hemp boat, the oars and sails were parked beside the trestle bridge, and a flag soldier under him hurried over with two burly Zhuangyuanqiao natives.

The five Ming troops disembarked from the Spanish ship had different appearances. A general wearing a bright breastplate and a bearskin cloak led four horses. When the horses disembarked, each of them threw a dozen long guns into the boat. Like an arsenal, there are guns everywhere.

The boat was rowed all the way to the ice-covered sandy shore, and the head general stepped forward. Although walking with dragon and tiger steps has the power to control the situation, there is still a bit of hob meat in the expression between his brows and eyes. Rogue look.

"Pay the next yuan, and Chen Shuai of the Eastern Fleet marks the next attack."

Ma Gui's eyes lit up when he heard the name.

The impression of Chen Mu still stays in the era of Chen Nanyang. At that time, Fu Yuan was considered well-known. From the flag army to the commander, the news of success sent to the north continued month after month. It was very common for the mansion newspaper to follow Chen Mu name.

"It turned out to be General Fu. Ma has admired his name for a long time, but your official position... I remember that you were a commander in Luzon before you went to sea. Why are you a guerrilla now? Could it be that the Dongyang Fleet is different?"

During the past 20 years of Ming Dynasty, the military system was in chaos. Guards, battalions, recruits, and private soldiers were everywhere. Regardless of the official position in the local guard system, the leading generals in the country were transferred to the commander-in-chief. A battalion rank.

To quell chaos in a government, a commanding envoy leads a small general, and when a province quells chaos, a commanding envoy sometimes leads a general rank. The two officer systems are parallel. It's Commander.

Only in Nanyang, because they are fighting overseas, they don't use the central government's methods. The commander is both a commander and a wartime commander. The only difference is whether Chen Mu has issued a military order to dispatch troops.

Therefore, the power status of the commander of the overseas guards is much greater. Luzon commanders like Fu Yuan, who are transferred back to the mainland, are at least commanding affairs or even commanding colleagues.

Guerrilla General?This is the threshold for a junior general to become an independent mid-level general. It's a bit low for Fu Yuan, right?

He Magui is still a general officer!

Fu Yuan chuckled, admiring Yu Magui's gaze, and without explaining, he just waved his hand, pointed to the blunderbuss that were brought down from the small boat behind him, and said: "When I came here, I was just catching up with the Xiyi boat to chase this small boat. It's our ship, so intercept this Spanish ship, I've confiscated all the firearms, and there are still some swords and spears on board, please send someone to fetch it from Mashuai."

"There are 44 Spanish soldiers and 53 watermen on the top, all of whom were escorted down together. I thought there would be an artillery battle, but I didn't expect them to say that they are allies with us and will not fight."

As he spoke, Fu Yuan stepped forward to get closer to Ma Gui, and asked in a low voice: "They said they were looking for revenge from the natives and had no intention of making an enemy of Ming, and said that the natives killed their army strongholds and soldiers, and after they broke through the tribes Seeing someone fleeing north by boat, I chased them all the way to destroy the nest, and ended up chasing them here.”

"It sounds reasonable to me, so I didn't do anything to them."

Fu Yuan's few words made Ma Gui's eyes widen, and he said in surprise, "The Zhuangyuan Bridge has been breached? What about the town of Guanxi?"

"What, what is Zhuangyuanqiao Town in Guanxi?" Fu Yuan was confused by the name of this place and celebrity. Since he was the deputy of Qianhu, he has been a frequent visitor to teahouses and wine shops in Guangcheng. He is very familiar with the dialogue. The sense of dislocation in time and space was too strong, and after a while, he took off his helmet and rubbed his head with short hair, and said, "The natives they beat are ours?"

Fu Yuan's hair was not shaved in Beiyang, he cut it short when he was suffering from malaria in Baigu, and later felt that short hair was very comfortable, so fortunately he didn't keep long hair - he was a big soldier who was idle, gambling and stealing , I don't care what others think of me at all.

He doesn't talk about etiquette, he talks about the world.

Our people?
Fu Yuan's words were very quack in Ma Gui's ears.

The commander-in-chief of Kuwu Island thought about it, nodded slightly with his lips pursed, sighed and said: "The banner troops sent to teach Chinese have all returned, and those who have not become ours have been wiped out by Xiyi."

"It wasn't wiped out either. After being defeated, most of them fled northward. Xiyi wanted land and intended to drive them away. The soldiers below wanted revenge, but the legion commander above them thought it was wrong for them to let the people of this tribe spread panic. advantageous."

"Fu Mou doesn't know much about other things, Ma Shuai can ask your banner army."

As Fu Yuan said, he turned his head and pointed to the Spanish ship. The Banner Army with a strong atmosphere of the Jianghu was escorting the Spanish soldiers off the ship. They could hardly see a trace of the prohibitive temperament of the Nanyang Army.

Although they were wearing standard military uniforms with big arms and round waists, their frivolous behavior did not look like soldiers.

Fu Yuan waved to the servant on the boat, turned his head and bowed to Ma Gui, and said, "No matter what happens, don't draw conclusions early when looking at Ma Shuai. Chen Shuai has ordered the Eastern Fleet to set sail from Dagu, Tianjin, and the army will arrive at Majia Port soon."

　Good morning!
