Chapter 699 Long live
In Chen Mu's mind, Shao Tingda should have drifted to a coast in the west of Asia after getting lost. With his reckless character, he should know that Chen Mu would definitely send someone to look for him, and the most likely thing would be to set up a tall camp on the same spot, eat Military ration training on board.

He guessed only part of it right.

Shao Tingda really knew that Chen Mu would definitely send someone to find him, so he found that he seemed to be very confident after being lost.

How confident are you?

He didn't disembark at all to set up camp after docking at all, and sent a fleet to the north to search for Majia Port to report to Chen Mu, and then continued to order to go south.

General Shao was addicted to the pleasure of commanding the large fleet and couldn't help himself, so he was not in a hurry to find Chen Mu.His fleet consisted of five fleets with 33 warships, large and small ships, and 25 ships even if he sent a fleet to the north.

He has never commanded such a large fleet in Nanyang.

How can I not take this opportunity to enjoy myself?
Of course, the message on the fleet he sent north to report to Chen Mu was that Shao Tingda led the fleet to explore the coastal terrain after getting lost, and prepare for possible future wars.

This is not a lie. The scenery and the terrain of mountains, rivers and rivers in the eyes of soldiers and horses are many times more exciting than that of ordinary people.

Occupation and experience can affect people's way of thinking. For the four fleet admirals of the Eastern Fleet, Chen Mu came here to do strategy in Asia, and they only cared about the second half of the strategy, the strategy.

People come here to fight.

The parade of mang worms overseas has brought great panic to the residents of the west coast of Asia.

The aborigines here have all seen boats. Magui's boats often come and go from here, going south for a while, and going north for a while, which is very common.

But how big is Magui's boat?The largest ship is only [-] materials.

Shao Tingda's flagship with the spiritual board is a serious six-class ship that exceeds the standard. After several repairs, the ship even caught up with Chen Mu's previous ship Chihai. It is a giant sea monster, leading groups of warships Can you not panic if you pass by someone else's door?

Panic was panic, Shao Tingda did nothing, watched the people peacefully fishing, gathering, and logging from a distance with a telescope on the boat, even if an old man with a white beard wrapped in a leather coat sat on the beach and smoked, he thought it was very beautiful .

It's pretty, isn't that a strange word?

In fact, General Shao's original words are even more strange. What he said was: "Oh, Mrs. Lin, look at that old hozen, sitting in that fake water!"

Walk all the way happy and leave panic all the way.

Until he entered the territory of the Yi people, like Ma Gui, he was also very surprised when he saw such a huge tribe for the first time. Just out of curiosity, he ordered the fleet to stop, and there were old people and women of the Yi people carrying skins. Blankets, horns and gold nuggets and jade were given to them.

And also made a gesture of invitation, inviting them to enter the village.

"The people here are really hospitable, let's go and have a look!"

Until Shao Tingda's subordinates pulled out their mounts from the horse boat, the Asian villagers who offered their treasures screamed like birds and beasts, and the exclamation shook the village.

Before Shao Tingda figured out why they were so different, countless aborigine hunters in the fields and villages came to the port with bows, arrows and spears.

Among the fastest runners, there were actually two figures familiar to the Shao Tingda Fleet Banner Army.

They absolutely don't know people. Shao Tingda has never known people with bone earrings and cow bones on their noses since he was a child, but he knows clothes.

Too conspicuous.

They are one on the left and the other on the right. The one on the left is wearing a high iron helmet and a mirrored breastplate. He is holding a gauntlet and long sword in his hand. His lower body is wrapped in a leather skirt. Only the upper body is seen. It is a standard Spanish soldier's dress. Looks like a well-equipped Spanish soldier.

The one on the right is even more powerful. He is fully armed, wearing an iron hat, a dark blue cotton-lined iron armor long smock, iron armbands on his arms, a pair of fat black cloth round-toed military boots, and a short-handled iron melon in his hand. Halfway through, he froze on the spot.

The person on the opposite side seems to have a helmet similar to his own.

Then he started yelling words that Shao Tingda couldn't understand to dissuade the aboriginal fighters who were rushing around.

Shao Tingda looked a little confused about the situation, and raised his hand to stop the banner army who had already lined up and began to stab the guns at the bottom of his feet.

This batch of Beiyang first-stage flag troops is well-trained, Shao Tingda has not even given an order, they have already formed a battle formation, two rows of bird gunners are in front, two rows of spearmen are behind, and the engineering team has no time to go to the ship The artillery team pulling the cannon started digging foxholes with shovels two feet behind.

On the one hand, they know what they should do, and on the other hand, they can give orders to the banner army accurately from Qianhu to the banner officer.

Shao Tingda looked at the figure not far away who blocked and really blocked hundreds of aboriginal hunters, and said to himself: "Liaodong Army? But the helmet is ours."

The attire of the aborigines is the Liaodong Army. When Shao Tingda led the fleet to Beiyang, Li Chengliang’s subordinates came to give them gifts to these Nanyang generals. They were dressed in this suit, with two layers of beaten and compacted cotton on the inside and outside, except for the two sleeves. , the interlayer is actually made of iron armor sheets and fixed with copper nails. A suit of armor weighs 45 catties, which is very heavy, but it is very suitable for the cold temperature in winter on the front line of the Great Wall.

However, the helmets of the Liaodong Army were domed or pointed helmets of the Frontier Army lineage, and they did not have the Liao helmets of the Southern Army lineage.

From heaven to earth, only Magui's soldiers mixed this equipment. Their helmets, armbands, uniforms, boots, and breastplates were dispatched from Nanyang, but under the severe cold of Kuwu Island, they were transferred from Xuanfu. A batch of cotton armor, that's all.

The banner troops of the Eastern and Northern Oceans wear breastplates, which are much lighter. They wear cotton coats inside and outside, they also have a cotton coat of the same color as the Beiyang military uniform, which is not much lighter than the cotton armor.

Officers are better, like Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan, they all have coats made of animal fur such as bears, wolves, and rabbits, which are relatively light.

A strange scene appeared in front of Shao Tingda's eyes. The Ming army and Spanish soldiers, who had never joined hands in the Ming alliance, were put together by wearers in the aboriginal villages on the coast of Asia.

The aboriginal soldier in the Liaodong cotton armor managed to persuade the hunters and warriors, walked alone between the two armies with some timidity, and shouted to Shao Tingda: "I am Long-legged Bear, a subordinate of Zhuangyuanqiao Zhengtu!"

The voice is very loud and clear, and Shuntian's official words are well-spoken.

Shao Tingda thought about it for a moment, but he didn't think of anyone in the Nanyang Army named Zheng Tu, then turned his head to look at Qianhu Heiyunlong under his command, and asked, "Heiwa, is there anyone in Beiyang called Zheng Tu?"

Hei Yunlong closed his eyes and recalled his relatives, and said decisively: "No!"

Shao Tingda frowned slowly, folded his arms and said in a bad tone: "Could it be that they killed Ma Shuai's subordinates and snatched the armor? I think the cotton armor doesn't match the helmet."

The long-legged bear couldn't hear what they said, and he might not understand what they said, but he could see the expression of the leader of the other party and see that the situation was not good.

However, the Ming army taught them how to speak at Zhuangyuanqiao, and the teaching time was too short. The study time was already very little, and it was already a super performance to be able to make a self-introduction.

In the last moment of anxiety, he suddenly bowed down to the west, and said loudly: "I am a citizen of Ming Dynasty, long live the emperor!"

Whoa!
The Banner Army standing in front of him parted ways, and even Shao Tingda avoided it...Who would dare to stop this motherfucker worshiping the emperor?
