Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1064 The Pirate Comes Blowing the Flute 1
Waves of waves rushed over and beat the hull of the ship, and the huge hull rose and fell between the crests of the waves, just like Han Suquan's current mood.

Han Suquan is the younger brother of Han Peng. Little Han Peng is four years old. He also participated when Han Peng followed Lu Xiang to King Jingqin—he was only 17 years old at that time. ?Pull out the ancestral weapons and armor, go north with my cousin, and kill the Tartars!And his performance in the process of entering the Jingqin King was also good. He fought bravely and beheaded two levels. He was once praised by Lu Xiangsheng.Since then, he has been following Han Peng, and he has participated in most of the series of thrilling battles after the establishment of the Heluo New Army.But... Han Peng, Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, and Cao Jun are too dazzling, and the Heluo New Army relies on the system to fight, so they can't show their individual bravery, so he hasn't shown much in these years. The road to promotion is also smooth and steady, from the small captain to the squadron leader, from the squadron leader to the big captain, he has held all positions.But gold will shine after all. In the final confrontation with the Qing army, he finally ushered in his own opportunity: in the Battle of Gu'an, he commanded a brigade to smash the Qing army to death, and created an incredible event to wipe out the Qing army. Three Niulu, defeated the record of three Niulu, and beheaded over a thousand levels in one battle!It was because of this brilliant record that he was promoted to the head of the army during the post-war military expansion and officially became a general.

The Great Expansion Army is called the Great Expansion Army. In fact, it has been repeated several times in Ming Dynasty, but there are only nineteen legions. He is one of the nineteen best generals. The news spread and the whole family is proud of him.

Han Suquan is not satisfied with this, Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. If he chooses this path, of course he has to climb all the way to the pinnacle of generals!The goal he set for himself was to become the governor within 20 years and the marshal of the empire within 30 years!He has a long-term goal and enough patience to implement his plan step by step, but this is not enough. To become the Marshal of the Empire, patience alone is not enough, and you must have enough military exploits, so he volunteered for this expedition to Tianzhu. After grinding hard and softly, he finally snatched this opportunity.He is eager to conquer the Tianzhu region and establish a Dudu's Mansion here... Although it is an overseas Dudu's Mansion, it is naturally inferior to the domestic Dudu's Mansion, but it is also a Dudu's Mansion!What a rare opportunity!He had a hunch that this expedition would definitely bring him one step closer to his goal of becoming a marshal within 30 years!
He made full preparations for this, and thought of all possible situations.But he never dreamed that as soon as he entered the Indian Ocean, he would run into a rare big storm, and the entire fleet would be blown into a mess!After finally surviving the storm, he was surprised to find that many warships in the fleet could not be found. As the commander of the army, he could only command four troop ships and one transport ship, with about [-] soldiers and [-] soldiers. There are only a few sailors!The most serious thing is that the flagship is nowhere to be found!
Fuck it, the troops have traveled thousands of miles, gone through hardships, and are about to reach the end of the journey, but in the end they find that the commander-in-chief is missing, what a mess!Han Suquan broke out in cold sweat, the battle hadn't been fought yet, the gold and silver beauties were not snatched, but the marshal was lost instead, is there anything more fucked up than this?He immediately ordered to look for the flagship everywhere, but if he couldn't find the flagship, he probably had to swim back to Guangzhou!No, with Yang Menglong's prestige and status, he really lost him. I'm afraid that even if he can swim back to Guangzhou, he will be kicked back to the sea by angry citizens to feed the fish!
Not good, really not good!

That terrible storm blew the inexperienced Ming fleet all over the world, in the vast sea, how easy is it to find the flagship?For three whole days, Han Suquan fired a lot of flares, and several warships ran over to join him after seeing the flares, but there was no sign of the flagship.Han Suquan's heart has been sinking. He has experienced the danger of the sea. It has been a few days, and he hasn't even found the shadow of the flagship. I'm afraid...

Bah, bah, no!The marshal's life is so hard, he was shot by an assassin and survived, how could he be overthrown by a storm?Nothing will happen, absolutely nothing will happen!

Uneasy Han Suquan commanded this small fleet to collect the warships that escaped the storm all the way, and continued to search for the Warsong Horn in the vast sea.At this time, a captain proposed an idea: "Will the battleship be blown to some islands by the storm?" Han Suquan's eyes lit up with this idea, and he immediately ordered the fleet to sail towards Ceylon Island.Because they were driving in the waters of Ceylon Island before encountering the storm, if the Warsong Horn had not sunk, then it was likely to blow to Ceylon Island.

After re-entering the waters of Ceylon Island, they encountered some merchant ships one after another, some from India, some from Arabia, and some from Europe. It can be seen that this waterway is quite prosperous.Seeing a merchant ship approaching, Han Suquan immediately asked a frigate to intercept it and ask questions. What made him depressed was that as soon as the merchant ship saw the frigate approaching, it immediately changed its course, filled its sails and fled!Looking at this scene, Han Suquan wanted to cry from the bottom of his heart. This period of time was really not going well. It was even difficult to find someone to ask a question. Damn it, his heart was broken!

However, it is not so easy for that merchant ship to slip away. The frigate of the Daming Navy is a famous clipper ship. This kind of warship has no other characteristics, but it runs fast, reaching an astonishing speed of twelve knots, outrunning its ships It hasn't appeared yet!It didn't take much effort for the frigate to intercept the slow-running merchant ship with too much cargo.The captain and a group of sailors were brought before Han Suquan, all trembling.

Han Suquan glanced at these guys, oh, they are Arabs with turbans, beards, and black robes.He called a translator who knew Arabic, and asked angrily, "We just want to ask you a few words, why are you running away!"

The Arabian captain stammered: "Dignified general, I...we are willing to give you half of the cargo, please...please don't hurt our lives!"

Han Suquan froze for a moment, and roared: "I'm not a pirate! I just want to ask, have you ever seen a warship that is so long, so wide, and so high, with a black battle flag hanging on it, with two Crossed swords..." He gestured with his hand to draw the shape of the battleship—it was the Warsong Horn.The Warsong Horn weighed [-] tons, and it could be called a sea giant. Anyone who had seen this warship would be extremely impressed.

The Arab captain looked perplexed and shook his head vigorously. He hadn't seen it, really hadn't seen it.

Han Suquan said: "If you think about it carefully, as long as you can provide effective clues, we will definitely reward you a lot!"

The captain still shook his head: "Such a ship simply cannot exist! Even the best shipbuilder of the Ottoman Empire cannot build such a huge ship!"

Han Suquan was very frustrated, waved his hand, and asked someone to bring a piece of exquisite porcelain to the Arab captain to tell him to go away.After the captain took the gift, he slipped away like a rabbit who heard a gunshot.After running for a long distance, he kept looking back at the Ming army fleet. After making sure that the Ming army fleet did not catch up, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly called luck.There are not many things in this sea area, but there are a lot of pirates. If you bump into them, you will be robbed easily. If you are unlucky, the entire ship will be killed!Even merchant ships like them often work part-time as pirates. When encountering merchant ships that are weaker than themselves or unguarded towns, they rob all property and women, and kill all men. The methods are not ordinary.The sea is so ruthless, being weak is the original sin, and you will surely die if you bump into someone stronger than you. Those Chinese pirates didn't mean to rob them?Really surprised!

"Hmph, the soft-hearted sheep will sooner or later be torn to shreds by those vicious sharks criss-crossing the sea!" He admired the exquisite porcelain in his hand, thinking with some regret.He regrets that he only has one ship and more than [-] sailors, and he is unable to attack the powerful Chinese fleet. If he invites more than a dozen merchant ships, maybe they can launch a siege to this Chinese fleet and plunder its property up.

Han Suquan commanded the fleet to move on.Half a day later, they encountered two merchant ships. These two merchant ships looked like the Arab merchant ship. When they saw them, they immediately changed their course and fled.There was no other way, Han Suquan could only send two frigates to stop them again, bring them over, show them the picture of the War Song Horn, and ask them if they had seen this warship.

"never seen it!"

"I've never seen it before!"

This time they intercepted two Indian merchant ships. The heads of the two Indian captains wearing turbans shook their heads like rattles. As their huge heads kept shaking, a sour smell of sweat mixed with curry came out. The smoke made Han Suquan's stomach churn, and he quickly waved his hands to tell them to go away, without even giving them a gift.

The fleet continued to move towards Colombo, and Han Suquan spent another sleepless night amidst the sound of waves.

In the middle of the night, the lieutenant came to wake him up and called, "General, there is a ship coming towards them!"

Han Suquan asked: "How many ships are there?"

The lieutenant said: "More than 20 ships!"

Han Suquan got up and walked onto the deck, and sure enough he saw a light of fire approaching from several miles away.He said depressingly: "Damn it, I tried to find a ship during the day to ask about the situation, but I couldn't find it. Now it's pitch black, but there are a lot of them coming!"

The lieutenant general said: "The situation in the sea is really changing!"

At this time, the guide also ran over, looking at the fast approaching fleet, his complexion turned pale, and shouted: "It's...it's a pirate!"

Han Suquan was startled: "Pirates? How can you be sure they are pirates?"

The guide was trembling all over: "This sea area is full of hidden reefs, the wind is high and the waves are rough. Merchant ships never dare to sail in the dark at night. Only the pirates who occupy this area will act at night. They are eyeing us!"

Han Suquan and the lieutenant general looked at each other, they were both capitalized and bold.He tried so hard to find the horn of the war song, but he couldn't find it, but bumped into a pirate instead, it's really his grandma's hell!
