Chapter 102 The door of the country
Chen Lin didn't say anything. He understood why the commander who got off the boat and took the memorial and letters looked like he was eating a fly.
He turned to look at the sea surface, turned around and frowned and wanted to ask Li Dan something, but Zhang opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He stood up and paced on the deck of the ship, kicked the boat's side cannon and kicked the tail, his armor and leaves were shaking loudly, and he turned his head to point at Li Dan and said, "Get some wine, is there a bar on the boat?"
Li Dan turned around and ran to the cabin. He was very familiar with his godfather's boat. He had not stayed in Guangdong for long after returning from Luzon, but had already been on the boat three times. Although Lao Bai did not let someone drive Chen Mu's boat, for Li Dan, such a big boat was very addicted to just walking on the deck.
Not only was there wine on the boat, but Lao Bai also had to exchange food every three months, and all the equipment should be equipped.
Li Dan brought the wine, Chen Lin drank two sips, saw Bai Yuanjie boarding the ship, and asked, "What is written in the letter?"
"It's nothing. The court wants to set up more than 200 new warships in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, all of which are made of shark boats. Erlang asked Bai to transfer some boatmen to Zhangbutang, the Ministry of Works of Nanjing, and to help him get some silver."
Bai Yuanjie smiled and shook her head, saying, "The court asked Guangdong to pay the ship fee, but Guangdong did not, and Nanyang Guards had it."
"That's more than 800, no, Guangxi is not near the sea, that's more than 600." Chen Lin was upset, and drank a few more sips, and smiled bitterly: "This time Chen should be able to lead a large fleet."
"I can indeed lead a large fleet. In the memorial of General Zhenshuo to the court, if the navy is not called, the deputy general will lead a fleet and seventy-two warships." Bai Yuanjie said as she handed the memorial sent by the court to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin glanced over with all his eyes and said, "The grain ship is useless. Even if you patrol the sea, you can turn around within three days, not to mention that the coast can be replenished."
"When Chen Erlang becomes Chen Shuai and returns to Nanyang from the north, the grain ship will be useful."
Bang!
Chen Lin punched the wine case, and the wine pot was overturned to the ground. "Chen has served the imperial court for eight or nine years and fought countless battles. He has gone through life and death for many lives and deaths so that the people can be happy to bask in the sun. There is no war. Now my righteous brother comes back with a letter and wants to attract people to attack. I really don't understand... How many days have you lived in Guangdong?"
"It was said that the Luzon Yi people wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, but dozens of people in the letter landed in Haojing. Not to mention that they were discussing this matter, they were really here - even the three hundred households in Haojing could not defeat him, so why should he start the war again!"
Bai Yuanjie was actually also fucked. If you really tell Chen Mu, neither he nor Chen Lin could do such a thing; it would be even more impossible to lead the French to attack the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether it is good or bad.
Chen Lin frowned and looked at Li Dan, "Your adoptive father is obsessed with the wits, so why don't you advise him to stop the horse?"
This is really unimaginable. General Zhenshuo, who was guarding the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, sent people to the south to find old friends to collude with foreign enemies to attack the Ming Dynasty?
"My nephew advised me a few times. After all, this matter is too important, but it's tempting the Spaniards to take the lead in attacking." Li Dan spread his hands, "It's a good thing."
Chen Lin sneered as if he heard a big joke: "No, how can this be a good thing?"
Li Dan raised his sleeve and exposed his scars, raised his hand to point at the big birds flying in the sea in the distance, and said, "Those birds were not there when I was a child. They came with Western ships. In these years, more and more, especially Luzon, the sailing was everywhere; in Luzon, there were tens of thousands of Ming merchants who settled in Ming dynasties, the people called me Khabidan, and asked me to help them decide their affairs. The Westerners who enslaved them said that their country was Spain."
"Their country is thousands of miles away, but the vassal states of Malacca, Luzon, and Ming Dynasty were attacked one by one, without any restraint, robbed everything they saw, and enslaved the rest."
"Western people are different from us, not just the eyes, skin, and hair color." Li Dan pointed to his heart, "It seems that everyone knows how to calculate, is good at guns, trade and navigation, is intelligent but shameless but not polite. He does not think that it is wrong for everything he wants."
"It sounds..." Chen Lin took another sip of wine, frowned, and said, "You seem to be talking about General Zhenshuo."
Li Dan was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it carefully, Chen Mu was indeed very similar to what he said.
Bai Yuanjie, who was leaning on the side of the boat, laughed out loud, walked over and picked up the wine pot from the deck, swayed it, and took a sip and said to Li Dan: "So, don't listen to him interrupt."
Li Dan shook his head, "The adoptive father is different from them. The adoptive father is not shameless. He knows etiquette and righteousness. Besides, the adoptive father's unscrupulous way is what he firmly believes in doing this right."
"What's the difference? Collusion with the generals of the town to lure the enemy into invasion is Zhong, and collusion with Japanese pirates to sell guns and cannons is Yi? Chen didn't know what he wanted to do, but he knew that if there was a slight mistake in this matter, he would be doomed!"
"There is no retribution. There are very few Spanish people entrenched in Luzon, and they are arrogant and savage. They have only a dozen large ships, and they will not be opponents of the Nanyang Guard. As long as they seize fleeting fighter opportunities, they can conquer Luzon! This is an achievement of expanding territory. For this reason, even taking risks is worth it, let alone there is no risk at all."
Chen Lin was silent for a long time, raised his hand to ask Bai Yuanjie for a wine pot, but took it but found that it was empty. He shook it a few times and threw it into the sea, turned to Li Dan and asked, "Are you sure they only have a dozen big ships?"
"A ship as big as this one has only one, sometimes there, sometimes not, and most of the other four hundred to thousand-fired warships, with more than a dozen; the rest are small boats, and their ships are convenient for artillery battles, but the main purpose is to jump into battles. The big ships are like camps on the sea, with a collision angle on the bow and a high bow, which is higher than the lucky ship. Once they collided, their sailors could easily board other warships."
"But artillery is not stronger than the Nanyang Navy shark boat. Lin Feng and I fought with their thousand-stuffed gunships on the sea. As long as the small shark boat does not fight, they can take advantage of them. The lucky boat suffers a lot. The brave and silly Japanese people on their boats are the most fierce to jump into the battle."
I don’t know which sentence Chen Lin was moved by Li Dan’s words, but he seemed to have some acceptance. He asked: “Tell me what I think, how to lure them to attack the Nanyang Guard. Except for the Nanyang Guard, all parts of Guangdong cannot withstand the attack of more than a dozen large ships.”
"It's easy. If you buy some Japanese pirates and pirates, the navy only needs to play a rebel scene with Lin Feng, find some abandoned ships to fight on the sea, so that the pirates can see it, showing that my navy's combat power is weak and he is seriously injured in the battle. The navy retreats into Lingdingyang, and they will spread the news, let alone I will fuel the fire."
"I go to Luzon to continue to be my Kapitan. Once the war begins, I will lead the fleet to come with them and turn against each other in the middle to prevent accidents."
