Chapter 272(1/2)

If the heart is spiritual

"That was... very small, but for a long time, it was the kingdom of the maritime overlords. There were only one million people there, and the land area was about the same size as our current Fujian." Yang Ling explained patiently to Cheng Qiyun.

"Well, then her true identity is...?"

"She was a local nobleman. Her grandfather had followed Henry, the third prince of Portugal King Joao I, and made many military achievements. However, Prince Henry was not interested in politics. He later went to the southernmost part of Lisbon, far away from the capital, and served as the governor of a place called Agarvey, and founded the Navigation Academy there.

His followers, Adni's grandfather, also lived there. Two years ago, some radical naval officers believed that King John II's navigation policy was not active enough, and that they were too weak in the process of voyage with Spain in the process of voyage, so they planned to change.

As a family of navigators, Adni's family had a great influence in the navy. Her family was also an important supporter, and the one who actively participated in this matter was her uncle, a fanatical sea adventurer.

Adnie was a nobleman, the only legal heir to her father's title and territory, and inherited the Baron's assault very early. She was a genius girl. She was proficient in various navigational knowledge. At the age of 14, she improved the quadrant instrument and the crossbar instrument, and transformed the compass and hourglass passed down from our Ming Dynasty to more accurately. This is of great significance to Portugal, which relies on navigation to maintain the prosperity of the country.

For this, the king awarded her the highest medal of honor and made an exception to allow her to become a soldier, serving as a trainee instructor at the Froncisco Maritime School. But the worst is that Adnie followed the commander of the Indian Ocean Navy in order to increase her experience and practical experience.

During the Gama Expedition, she entrusted all her Yin Jin, territory and property to her most trusted uncle for supervision. Therefore, she could not distinguish the responsibility for the coup and escaped from the matter.

After the attempted coup miscarriage, the domestic arrested rebels were sent to the guillotine one by one. He ordered the commander of the Expeditionary Force to Da.

Gama immediately sent someone to escort Adni back to the country for trial. Fortunately, the naval commander had a very good impression of the female captain in the General Staff Headquarters and regarded her as her daughter. After receiving the news, he quietly informed her and asked her to escape immediately.

Shortly after Adnie escaped, she was captured by the pirate Pedro in the east. Because Adnie was proficient in various navigational knowledge and had expertise in geography, weather, trade winds, currents and artillery, especially those who were not very proficient in pirates, so she was regarded as a treasure by Pedro. Her status on the pirate ship was very special. She was both a prisoner and an instructor to the pirates."

Cheng Qiyun's eyes flashed with a strange look and praised: "A great girl, legendary experience, haha, I really can't tell that she has such great ability."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "The aristocrats there learned a lot of knowledge. Not only did she understand these, but she understood the languages ​​of several countries. They were all involved in politics, economy, military and theology, but these things were of no use to pirates.

After they mastered enough knowledge as a pirate, they were ready to deal with Adnie. At this time, the seaguzi sent someone to Luzon to collect foreign women to give to me. When they saw Adnie thought that this woman should make me happy, so they bought it for me at a high price. Hahaha..., I am really happy, very happy."

Yang Ling's eyes were almost unable to open her smile.

He scared Adnie just wanted to ask about the secrets of Western artillery, how could he know that he was so lucky? He sent him a female knight and female instructor who was proficient in the tactics of firearms and Western ships, and systematically learned about navigation, drawing, astronomy and other knowledge.

Regardless of whether her tactics and tactics and navigation knowledge is better than that of the Ming Navy, it is just the officer training system she knows, which is definitely a scientific and correct prototype of a modern military academy.

She was just as good as eight naval divisions alone. The Ming naval division had to be completely changed, both software and hardware. It seems that after returning to Beijing, we had to tell the emperor that we would prepare to establish the Royal Naval Academy of the Ming Dynasty. The great voyage must not be without the position of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming naval officers must be qualified officers under strict training.

"Praise God!" Yang Ling finished laughing. Her face curled and said, "Because she heard that the Ming Dynasty was going to communicate with the East and West countries, she was worried that we would establish foreign affairs relations with Portugal and would send her, the imperial prisoner, back to China, so she never dared to tell her true identity."

"Now she is pouring beans on bamboo tubes, and she's been tempted, but she's crying, waiting for me to execute her. What do you think?"

"I'll collect it!"

"…..." Yang Ling rolled his eyes helplessly and sighed: "I will ask you extra!"

Seeing him turning around and leaving, Cheng Qiyun hurriedly chased and shouted: "Otherwise, I would say that the adults sympathize with her very much and decided to shelter her and protect her."

Seeing Yang Ling turn the corner of the corridor, Cheng Qiyun muttered in a low voice: "Shuo, let's put the simplest and most labor-saving..., no, it's the easiest and most worry-free way, I just want to ask for trouble! I can't tell her thoughts?"

Yang Ling returned to his study room, where two personal soldiers had already called in guard. Adni sat blankly on the chair she used to debate with him, gently caressing the official documents on the table, with her eyes in a daze, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Western countries are the first utilitarianism, and even regular troops are full of deception and blood. Adnie once saw her respected Da.

Commander Gama tricked Sultan into boarding the ship to negotiate a trade in Killoi, but then treacherously detained him and forced him to pay tribute to Portugal every year.

Near Kananor, their troops looted a Muslim ship who had returned from the Hajj from Mecca, and then put nearly four hundred people in the cabin, including many women and children, and burned them to death. In Kalikat, in order to show off their force, they hung 38 fishermen who friendlyly sold fresh fish to them on the masts, and then bombarded Kalikat.

The elder, who was very kind and gentle to her, the commander of a fleet, also ordered the soldiers to cut off the hanged fishermen's head, hands and feet, and throw the torso into the sea. Then he piled the cut limbs on a small boat and returned them to the residents of the city, intimidated them, and finally forced them to promise that the Portuguese could set up a stronghold here and occupy the foreign trade of Kochi.

He could secretly let himself run away, but if he knew he had fallen into the hands of a regime that might have contacted the Portuguese royal family, maybe even he would have thought of getting rid of himself without pity. This is not cold-blooded, but reality. Portugal once allowed a prince's hostage to be executed by the Moors, but he would never give up a Port of Ceuta without any benefit.

Is the Ming Dynasty an exception? Yang Ling is a governor, a marshal who commands hundreds of thousands of troops. He once cut off thousands of heads at the command, compared to Da.

Commander Gama is still cold-blooded. Although he is good to himself, how could a person in such a high position not weigh the gains and losses, and how could he tolerate a criminal from a country that is about to trade and trade and has an extremely powerful navy?

Ali Adni dared not expect Yang Ling to let her go unless the strange goods are available. She will be kept for the Portuguese royal family in the future as a gift to show friendship, and she will be taken back to the Lisbon local guillotine.

Yang Ling came back, but she didn't look up, but the familiar footsteps and his breath made her notice the figure's approach. Adni slowly stood up, turned around and stared at Yang Ling's eyes, and said, "What will you do with me, sir?"

Yang Ling said in surprise: "What should I deal with? I think... you can stay by my side and join my General Staff Headquarters. How about showing your strengths?"

A deep pain flashed in Adni's eyes, and she smiled sadly: "Just like Captain Pedro? When my value is squeezed out, I will return me to the Portuguese royal family in exchange for trust and friendship?"

As she said that, her tears had flowed down: "Sir, I would rather die in your hands and kill me. Don't send me here and there again, you... you can return my body to the Portuguese, but don't cruelly let me see you alive... See you betray me!"

Her body shivered, and she held the desk in a sudden, then she supported her body. Yang Ling was annoyed and stamped her feet and said, "Who said she used you and then betrayed you? Damn it. You actually compared me to a profit-oriented pirate captain?"

Adni looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Isn't it?"

A hint of sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "When you were in Suzhou, you said that I was your woman, and now you know that I am a criminal. You dare not touch me. In order to avoid me, I will join your General Staff Headquarters. Hahaha, just like Captain Pedro, I am his first mate, a prisoner's first mate..."

It’s really hard to explain when encountering such a stubborn woman. Yang Ling was very upset: “What’s this? Why do I want to kill you when I cry like this?

Is it only possible to make you bleeding if you want to not shed tears? It’s so evil, so evil…”.

He closed his eyes and said helplessly: "What am I afraid of? Who wants to kill you? Forget it, you are mine.... Fiancée, is the fiancée a fiancée?"

"Fiancée?" Adni chewed it and understood the meaning. She was filled with surprise and said to Yang Ling: "Is it true? Can I... disclose this identity?"

Seeing Yang Ling nodding, she suddenly jumped over, wrapped herself around Yang Ling's neck, kissed him heavily, then moved away, blushed, and said with a blurred look: "I believe in you, sir."

"But... why are your words always so weird? Many of them are what I have never heard from other people from the Ming Dynasty before."

Yang Ling smiled dryly and said, "This... I am proficient in dialects of six provinces, which is equivalent to the six languages ​​you are proficient in. I also know professional skills such as drinking, playing chess, fishing, traveling around and other places, and have a very extensive knowledge."

Adni smiled "Puche" and suddenly smiled again, frowned, and said worriedly: "Is there really no problem? Do I want to hide my identity from now on? Our people in the country are gradually reaching the east. I believe that it won't take long before our country fleet will appear in the South China Sea. If they discover my existence, threaten to refuse transactions and ask the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for me. Don't you have to obey the emperor's orders?"

Yang Ling laughed. He waved his hand and said, "Impossible, impossible. In this world, no one can threaten the Ming Dynasty to give them women. As for threats to cut off trade, it is even more ridiculous. Perhaps our Ming Dynasty can threaten it, claiming to trade only with Western countries other than Portugal, thus forcing Portugal to give a princess. Who has the capital to threaten to cut off trade with the Ming Dynasty? Hahaha..."

"Sir, I haven't seen anyone for three days. So, Fuzhou City is very beautiful. You should take her out for a walk. If you are unmarried... wife." Cheng Qiyun's voice was obviously a bit chewy. Seeing Yang Ling coming, she was obviously full of joy, but she still gave him a jealous look.

Her jealousy smell is just right. It is not annoying, her expression is charming, indescribable and wonderful, and indescribable charm are all in the moment when the eyes are flowing.

"Hahaha", Yang Ling was obviously in a good mood. She sat on the lounge chair that Cheng Qiyun had just sat on, and Zizhu's chair surface was a little warm.

Cheng Qiyun gave the girl a few instructions, then walked back gracefully, brushed her sleeves and sat down next to him, saying, "Why are you free to see me today?"

Yang Ling took a long breath, the air was fresh and fragrant with some flowers and meadows.

It was hot for days, and the drizzling rain last night fell intermittently all night, and it was only in the early morning. At this time, the bright sunshine shone on the trees, flowers and plants that were still condensed with raindrops, bright and colorful.

Yang Ling lay on the chair, stretched out his body tired and excitedly. He yawned and said, "I have been busy for three days and am so tired that I have thrown all my business to you. I feel sorry for it. Come and see my Lord Cheng."

Cheng Qiyun snorted, stood up and walked to him, gently massaged his muscles and his shoulders and neck, and said, "I'm a praising official for three days. I'm a little dating and a bridal chamber for three nights. How can I not be tired?"

In front of me was a pool of clear water, and the lotus leaves on the water were clear and round. Every branch and vine stood upright. The pink lotus that had just bloomed stood beautifully in the green leaves and clear water. On the wide and thick lotus leaves, the water droplets rolled and flew with the wind, and the ripples rippled on the water surface. Yang Ling nodded comfortably, feeling happy in his body and mind, floating in the air.

Cheng Qiyun knew that he was busy with something these days, so he didn't argue. He seemed to enjoy this kind of flirting and jealousy. He cooperated and laughed twice and said, "Yes, yes, I'm tired, but I feel so tired."

Cheng Qiyun added force to her hands and pinched them twice. Yang Ling smiled, crossed her hands and placed them on her abdomen, opened her eyes and looked up at the pretty face above her head and said, "The first cannon has been tried. Old Zheng is worthy of being a cannon for a lifetime. With the guidance of Adni, the expert, well! The test shot is very successful."

He closed his eyes and sighed with satisfaction. The complexity in his heart seemed to have disappeared in the fresh air. His mind was as clear as water, leaving no residue left behind. Cheng Qiyun seemed to be able to understand his mood and knew that he was really exhausted in the past three days. He looked at him pity and his movements became gentle.

Yang Ling closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep peacefully. After a while, he suddenly said, "Tell me about the current situation."

"Yes," Cheng Qiyun said: "Shandong and Jiangsu have basically ended the war, and the joint sea bandit suppression operation with the Japanese Kingdom has also ended. Because the Jurchens tasted the sweetness of plundering Japanese female slaves, they have recently robbed Japanese islands one after another, and the Japanese navy has returned to their hometown."

"Some of the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang and here are concentrated in several water and mountainous areas with complex terrain, and are fighting with our army. However, according to the instructions of the adults, the officers and soldiers of the guards used the countryside and towns as fortresses to block traffic, responded to each other, and fought steadily, gradually compressed and destroyed their active areas. Now the range of Japanese pirates can move is getting smaller and smaller."

"However, there are many islands recorded in our household registration and charts in this area. There are too many islands without records, and the sea routes are complicated. In addition, the troops of Shanghai Dogzi and Xuemao are entrenched on several of the most dangerous and difficult islands. It is difficult for our navy to attack in depth. A considerable number of Japanese pirates have retreated to the sea when they see the opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to move."

"As for the Japanese pirates in Guangdong, it is much simpler. The retreat to the north was intercepted by Bai Xiaocao. The inspection department of Penghu to the east was guarding the dangerous force, and then to the south was the world of Western pirates. Now it is a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs."

"Well, it seems that to completely resolve the Zhejiang-Fujian riot, the two nails of Snow Cat and Haituzi must be pulled out first. Otherwise, if these two stumbling blocks are placed there, the Japanese pirates will inevitably rekindle. What are their movements recently?"

"There is no movement, but I can't wait and see for a long time. Since the adults sent troops to station Ryukyu. Bai Xiaocao announced that he would accept the recruitment, I immediately cut off my active contact with the two thieves. Now that we are enthusiastic about recruiting, they will be suspicious. Bei Zhi is waiting for them to come to me on their own initiative. When it is time to take the airs, I have to take it. It's not a business, hehe."

Yang Ling naturally pulled her hand, and Cheng Qiyun gently moved from the head of the recliner to his side. A faint and beautiful fragrance of woman penetrated into her heart.

"We have just achieved results after the reorganization of the Navy. We have not fought a serious naval battle with the Japanese pirates. The real test seems to be a battle with Western pirates," Yang Ling said, opening his eyes.

Cheng Qiqi was wearing a soft dress. Since she had been working in the backyard, the light Luoqi shirt was soft and wide for comfort, but she was born with a beauty. Her sexy atmosphere could not be concealed.

Although she has been dressed more and more elegant since she followed Yang Ling, and she has never had a frivolous smile or move, her existence itself is a speechless temptation.

The gentle and elegant style is filled with an attractive style. The soft silk robe cannot hide the softness of her waist, and the gentle wind blowing. It brings her ups and downs and downs, high and firm peaks, from time to time, into Yang Ling's eyes.

"The navy has to continue to suppress the Japanese. Even if there are not many Japanese pirates who can be encircled and suppressed on the water, it is just a training. I have already submitted it to the Ministry of War and asked the North and South Military Arts Bureau to immediately stop casting the original copper cannons and iron cannons for ships and casting this new type of artillery from the Folang machine."

Speaking of this, Yang Ling came to his spirit again: "This kind of cannon is divided into three types: heavy, medium and light. Five models. Heavy and medium cannons can have a range of six miles, with the best effect within two hundred meters. According to Adni, if a super heavy cannon is built to guard the fortress and place it on the front of the city, it can shoot out ten miles when the angle is appropriate, and it is loaded with flowering bullets, it will be very powerful."

"Why are their ground cannons so fast? I heard that the reason why Japanese pirates failed with our warships was mainly because they had the same number of cannons as fast as Westerners." Cheng Qiyun said, and naturally sat next to Yang Ling.

Both of them were dressed very lightly. When they sat next to Yang Ling's thighs, Yang Ling could clearly feel the softness and plumpness of her buttocks.

His voice tightened and continued, "It's not just the rate of fire. This kind of gun has a sight star in front and a gate behind. Its aiming effect is better. Its gun stand design is also very reasonable. It can move up and down, left and right, and the outside of the gun body is wrapped with cork, and an iron hoop is added to prevent explosion."

The two people were a little uncomfortable and nervous when they first got in touch, but they were tacit and no one moved. This ambiguous physical contact made the two men and women, who were not ignorant, have a heartbeat like they were just beginning to fall in love.

"Then why does it shoot so fast? Is there another trick?" Cheng Qiyun seemed to be very interested and said authentically.

"I have seen the drawings drawn by Adnie, and have watched the craftsmen turn back, cast, polish, and complete a series of procedures until they can be used. But to be honest, I still don't understand the specific technology, so I can only briefly talk about it. This kind of Western artillery is filled with an independent gun barrel in the barrel chamber, called a heart gun, so the cannon is actually a two-layer gun barrel for the mother and child.

The gunpowder is used in the inner layer, and it is filled with a short firing interval, so a gun only has a few more such heart tubes, and it will be replaced after it is released. The firing rate is very fast. Think about how can I stand this kind of war? I lie on the gun and put gunpowder in it. The ship is sieve...

Moreover, this kind of gun barrel that connects front and rear is fast to clean, dissipate heat quickly, and the dose of medicine is accurate and not easy to explode. Because it is a two-layer tube, the sub-tube is generally vulnerable. Just replace the sub-tube, and the service life is also long."

"Well..." Cheng Qiyun clearly had no interest in firearms, but pretended to listen with relish. Her eyes turned and asked, "As the adult said, Adni knew a lot. Now she has a sense of unmarried wife's identity?"

Yang Ling's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What does it mean?"

Those who have been in high positions for a long time have their own majesty. Yang Ling's eyes narrowed, and there was a radiant penetration in his eyes, which made Cheng Qiyun's heart thrill.

How fast. When I first met him, the humble young imperial envoy who almost didn't understand the rules of the officialdom was not only in power, but was gradually becoming mature, with the wisdom and majesty of the ranks of officials who guarded the country. His body was getting stronger and stronger, and he was no longer the weak young man who was originally.
To be continued...
