Day 430 Fairness(2/2)

In addition, there are two tips that are difficult to distinguish the head and tail. The eagle ships that are moving forward and backward like flying, and the mobile and flexible eagle ships, as well as dozens of serial ships, and dozens of mother and child ships sail forward under the cover of the shuttle ships. These ships are all small warships that are conducive to the internal water, rivers, lakes and combat fields, especially serial ships and mother and child ships.

The serial ship is only four feet tall, but it is actually connected by two ships with iron rings. The front ship has huge inverted iron nails on the bow, and the ship carries fireballs, poisonous smoke balls, and fire thunder bombs. The rear ship carries soldiers with muskets and bows and arrows to cover them. Once they hit the enemy ship, the inverted iron nails will be nailed into the enemy ship and it will be difficult to get out. At this time, the iron rings can be unbuttoned and various firearms can be ignited, and then the rear ship can quickly leave. The front ship ignited a fire and exploded, exploding the other side's side.

The mother-child ship has a similar role but a different appearance. It is a large ship carrying a small boat. It carries fire and explosive objects on the large ship, and nails it to the enemy ship. The small boat leaves, leaving the large ship to ignite the enemy ship.

Peng Shark and others were all aware of the goods. So many small boats were coming, and they had no time to deal with the speed of the Fran machine cannon. Moreover, the other party's big ship could not be fought. They were too poor to deal with these small boats and had to be prepared for the artillery on the big ship. In desperation, Peng Shark had to roar: "Retreat!"

The navy in the court had strong combat power, but the artillery could not defeat the paper portraits, so they could only retreat with regret. In modern times, things that sound incredible were natural at that time, one ritual and one filial piety. In addition, in order to maintain the supreme dignity and supreme authority of the emperor, the royal family must be deified and not to contradict the political needs of the late emperor. This caused such a strange war scene.

Yang Ziqiao proudly ordered the Chilong Boat, Cangshan Boat, and the wheels to chase each other. Finally, the three-masted gunship and the lucky boat had just chased after it. "Boom!" A huge water column aroused on the water surface. The average medium-sized warship shook, and a big hole was broken on the side of the ship, and the cold river water poured in.

After a moment, another ship exploded on the side. The Ming navy was retreating and did not see them firing fire. What's going on? Yang Ziqiao was shocked. He found that all the light ships could sail over safely, and the two bombed ships in front were warships with draft.

He moved his heart and immediately ordered the fleet to slow down. Then he transferred several small boats to check. He found that the explosion was indeed underwater, and the river water was pouring back rapidly. The ships of the two warships had already tilted, so he quickly sent several small boats to meet the people on the ship.

He had heard that the Ming army navy had developed a new weapon called mines, which could attack enemy ships underwater. Unfortunately, King Ning tried his best to do anything, and the weapon listed as the highest secret by the Fujian Military Weapons Bureau has never been found. I think it was this kind of thing.

This has posed a great psychological threat to the Ning Wang rebels. If there are enemy ships ahead, even if these desperate people are brave enough to attack, they will dare to attack. But now they are invisible and intangible enemies. You have to be wary of being hit by him at all times. No one can stand such enemies even if there are only one or two.

There are many thieves on the bandits, who are crowing chickens and dogs. Although they are best at evil ways, they really come up with a solution. They temporarily stopped the boat and ran to the homes of fishermen on both sides of the strait to grab dozens of fish nets, connected the fish nets, and fell heavy objects below. Then they towed the boat to block the river to carry out net-type mine removal. The heavy ship was followed behind. This was safe, but the speed of travel was like a turtle climbing.

But there was no other way, so they could only walk and stop like wandering around, stop from time to time to clean up the blocked rags and occasionally scraped mines, use ropes to repair the broken fish nets, and then continue moving forward.

Because Peng Shark came to fight in the inland river, he did not put down a few mines at all. Putting this thing down would mean that he would destroy the golden waterway by itself. Once the war ended, it would be too difficult to clear the entire river. By then, he would rely on the river to eat, and I don’t know how many tens of thousands of people would starve to death, so he only set off four mines to think that he was a plan to doubt the capital, and then ran away.

Zhengde crossed the river, and Xu Tai was responsible for defending Nanjing, and he came to report to the front that King Ning had abandoned Anqing City and went straight to Nanjing, so he did not dare to come to welcome the horse. Lord Guan and Ma Ang, as well as senior officials from the six ministries of Nanjing rushed to the river to welcome the horse.

Before the officials had finished their visit, Peng Shark's warship hurriedly retreated. Although Zhengde's fleet saw that the other party was fighting the Ming flag, he did not dare to be careless. He sent a ship to meet him early and ordered them to stop the ship and ban them. Peng Shark was overjoyed when he heard that the emperor had arrived. The old guy came to see the emperor in a hurry and asked him to come up with a plan for such a rogue.

Yang Ling did not go to the front cabin. The most famous man in front of the emperor, the Duke of the Land Kingdom hid far behind. His current image is really not suitable to meet people. In the officialdom, people with poor image are not allowed to sit in the hall even if they are talented and knowledgeable. Yang Ling has a white nose and will inevitably be praised as a laughing stock if he shows his appearance in front of all officials.

The three princesses changed into maid costumes and stood with Tang Yixian and the other four. Yang Ling occasionally glanced over and saw Princess Yongfu's apologetic, concerned and gentle eyes. Because Yang Ling had explained to her that when she boarded the boat, she accidentally touched her nose because the hull was shaking. The pain was unbearable, so she slipped to the imperial physician and did not see her.

Princess Yongfu felt sorry for her and didn't care about her own plan. But Yang Ling didn't dare to look at her too much. As soon as she glanced over, she would find that there were two more gazes next to her, which were Princess Xiang'er's eyes. That look... it was like looking at the cat they raised in their home, a cat stealing fish.

Yang Ling had to quickly turn back his eyes: Alas, he finally calmed her down for a while with sweet words, but... how could he marry her? Isn't that harder than climbing the sky? Fortunately, Xiang'er is still young, and there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and it will be dragged for a while...

Yang Ling was constantly providing psychological counseling for his injured heart, and suddenly found that Emperor Zhengde, in front of the dragon boat, was furious for some reason. The officials in front of him knelt down and begged repeatedly there. Seeing this, Tang Yixian hurried over and whispered: "Brother, go and take a look. He hasn't gotten off the boat yet. Why are you crazy?"

Yang Ling nodded and gently touched his unique white nose. He walked over with great strides: "Family affairs, national affairs, the world, everything is upset!" This is the deep feeling of Duke Weiguo since his southern tour.

"It's outrageous. Such a stingy plan will make you conceal your army and retreat and allow the rebels to go straight to Nanjing? If Nanjing is lost, I will only ask!" Zhengde roared.

Peng Shark's red face turned a little black: "Emperor, the rebels hang the portraits and spirit cards of Emperor Hongwu high. The ministers dare not take action. The swords and guns are blind. If they hurt the spirit cards of Emperor Hongwu's god master and destroy the portrait, it would be a ruthless person. The minister hurried over to ask the emperor for an order. However, when the minister retreated, he left four mines in the water. I guess they could block their itinerary, but now they have to prepare early. This suspicious plan is difficult to last."

Zhengde was furious: "What order should I ask for? Ning Wang Wujun and his father raised an army to rebel. How could there be the Ming Dynasty in his eyes? How could Emperor Hongwu? Such tricks are just used to tie our hands and feet. Ignore him and go back immediately and fight me! Beat hard!"

"Your Majesty, no! We are the emperor's army and the righteous army, how can we leave people with a handle? In order to win a battle, we can bombard the spiritual throne of our ancestors. This is a great rebellion. How can we be a king? We should act in the land? We beg the emperor to take back his fate and find two other strategies."

The officials of the six ministries knelt down in unison and repeatedly opposed it, making Emperor Zhengde so angry that he could roll up his sleeves, rush onto the warship, and personally slaughter the rebels of Ning Wang who was dependent on his power.

At this moment, Yang Ling hurried over and bowed, "Why is the emperor angry?"

His nasal sound sounded like a eunuch. The officials of the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing looked at him in surprise, wondering why this guy had just disappeared for such a short time, so why did he become like this?

Zhengde's face turned pale and he furiously brushed his sleeves and said, "You ask him yourself!"

Yang Ling hurriedly asked Peng Shark about his past, and Peng Shark complained to him. Yang Ling thought about it for a while, then changed into a smile and said in a nasal voice: "All sirs, let's get up. Ning Wang's military horses do this clearly are just a plan, but even though we know it is a plan, we just can't break it, otherwise we will be embarrassing in morality. You guys are very worried, so I will discuss it with the emperor again."

After persuading the ministers, Yang Ling bowed to Emperor Zhengde and signaled to the side: "Emperor, let me speak with you."

Emperor Zhengde snorted, strode to one side of the ship's side, looking at the undulating waves, his heart was also as turbulent as waves. Yang Ling slowly walked to him and said softly: "Emperor, the tablets and portraits of Emperor Hongwu's spirit masters should not be easily touched. Have you ever heard of whose uncle and nephew fighting, but they beat the tablets of the ancestors to pieces? If they do that, outsiders will only accuse these two of them of disobedience and unfiliality, and will they pay attention to whoever is right and who is ignored?"

Emperor Zhengde angrily said: "Of course, he did not fight in the ancestral temples and ancestral halls, but he did not hold the ancestral tablets on his head when fighting. How can I fight such a rogue? What is the situation now? He is a rebellion, a thief who plots the country, and a country."

Yang Ling whispered: "Emperor, Emperor Yongle was the King of Yan in Peiping and raised an army to rush to the death. Tiexuan also used this trick in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong. Emperor Yongle was very talented and a generation of overlords, but he couldn't use his strength without staring at him?

Why? Because you can do anything else, only this thing cannot be done, otherwise you will abandon your morality and become an unfaithful, filial, unkind and unkind person, and this crime will never be cleansed.

If you offend your ancestors as your descendants, if you can do this because the other party and you are fighting, wouldn’t that tell the people of the world? If things are critical, you can don’t want the ancestors? Wouldn’t you tell the people of the world that if things are urgent, you can don’t want the king and father? If the heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers, the principles and ethics collapse, will the world be in chaos?”

Seeing that the anger on Zhengde's face gradually faded, Yang Ling said again: "Besides, King Ning rebelled. What is the name of land use? He rumored that he had been secretly ordered by the Queen Mother to go to Beijing to rectify the royal family, saying that you are not the bones and blood of the late emperor, but a folk baby in the land.

Your Majesty, you shot Emperor Hongwu without any scruples. Isn’t this confirming your own crime and sending a powerful slogan to the rebels of King Ning, making him more famous in rebellion? He would talk everywhere and say that the emperor did this. It is precisely because you are not a descendant of the Zhu family’s royal family that you don’t care at all.

Once such rumors spread, even if you defeat King Ning today or even wipe out all the rebels, they will continue to be passed down among the people. As the emperor, you are not the blood of the late emperor. Not only will the emperor always be pointed at by others, but your descendants will often be troubled by this."

"Um..." Emperor Zhengde came back and nodded silently and asked, "What do you think should I do? At that time, Emperor Yongle did not dare to attack the city with cannons, for fear of accidentally hurting the Spirit Master's tablet, so he could only trap the city in hand-to-hand combat. Now we are just suffering this loss? Humph! That's fine, my troops are gathering, and even if we don't use cannons, he can't take advantage."

"Then there is no need. Since King Ning did this, why don't we treat the other person's body with the same principles?"

Emperor Zhengde's eyes lit up and he asked, "What are your tricks?"

Yang Ling approached and whispered a few words to him. Emperor Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed at the sky. After laughing, he punched Yang Ling in the chest and praised: "You really have you. If you are wrong, no one in the world will have you, hahaha..."

Emperor Zhengde took two steps forward and waved: "Du Fu, come on."

Du Fu, the eunuch of Sili who was traveling south, hurriedly ran to him. Zhengde gave a few instructions and shouted, "Go, prepare immediately, and hand it over to General Peng of the navy in a while."

"I obey the order!" Du Fu agreed and led several eunuchs from the Silijian and Shangbaojian to hurried into the cabin.

Emperor Zhengde sent it back to the bow of the ship and asked solemnly: "This is the case with water and how about land? You haven't finished talking yet, continue."

Ma Ang hurriedly said, "Yes, before I set off, I learned that the Ning Wang army had not been able to capture Anqing for a long time, so I bypassed Anqing, divided the troops into two groups, and came straight to Nanjing City. Xu Tai and Jiang Bin were preparing for war in the city. According to the distance, they had to walk more land by land than water, and they would not be able to reach Nanjing territory by tomorrow."

Emperor Zhengde sneered and said, "Okay! Then I will fight him to the city of Nanjing, so that he can know that my young nephew, the emperor, is so powerful. Retreat!"

When the civil and military officials heard this, they hurriedly bowed and left the boat and waited at the dock. Taking this opportunity, Zhengde said to Yang Ling: "I will set sail to Nanjing City immediately. Go and give me an order. Half of my escort warships will be stationed here. The other half will follow the Jiangnan Navy up the river for a while, attacking the Ning King's warship head-on, and beat me hard!"

Peng Shark pulled the sail and headed south again. This time, not only did his warship come, but even half of the fleet escorted by the emperor came. It was vast and powerful, with poles standing like forests and canvases like clouds.

Yang Ziqiao walked carefully all the way, and indeed caught two strange underwater weapons, but there was nothing serious about it later. When he finally confirmed that there was no such terrible mine weapon in the river, he ordered people to withdraw the blocking net, with the big ship in front and the small boat behind, and marched with all his strength.

The fleet had just entered a fast and steady sail, and saw the warships ahead coming, which was faster than when they escaped. The ship that was rushing in front was arching on the river surface and entered the shooting track. The gun baffles rose one after another, revealing the black holes of muzzles.

Yang Ziqiao stood at the bow of the boat and saw Daqi: "Will Peng Shark be brave after eating the bear heart and leopard? He dares to come, but I don't believe in evil. I don't believe in him, Peng Laosha, who is a pirate, dares to bombard Zhu Chongba's spiritual position?"

"Boom!" With a cannon, a ship in front swayed, and a large number of ship gangs were cut off. Yang Ziqiao was shocked and suddenly looked up and saw a line of huge black words on the snow-white canvas opposite: "The spiritual throne of Emperor Ren Zuchun of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Ziqiao said attentively: "Who is Renzuchun?"

A private school next to him who had been to the water thief for two years more than him replied: "Renzuchun is Zhu Wusi and Zhu Yuanzhang's father!"
