Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Zheng Zhilong, who was secretly amused, stepped forward and helped Zhu Yujian, Zhu Cunji, and Zhu Zhuohong to their feet, then bowed and said: "Forgive me, my lord. Just now the fleet encountered Long Sushui, and they almost couldn't escape."

Zhu Yujian, who had managed to calm himself down, let out a sigh and said, "How is the situation of the fleet now? How much is the loss? Can you continue sailing?"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong who were still in shock, and couldn't help secretly praising that Zhu Yujian was really a character, and it was not in vain that His Majesty valued him so much.

Arching his hands towards Zhu Yujian, Zheng Zhilong said: "My lord, now the dragon's water absorption has passed.

The damaged parts of the fleet are not too many, a small repair is enough, and the navigation will not be affected.

It's just that the last troop carrier was scattered and sunk by the dragon sucking water. I don't know how many soldiers survived by chance.The humble official has ordered someone to save him. "

After thinking for a while, Zheng Zhilong made it clear: "If you encounter a dragon sucking water at sea, such losses are already extremely small, and no more than half of the soldiers in that ship can survive ten percent of the time.

Now we can only do our best and obey the destiny, the prince should not hold too much hope. "

Zhu Yujian's complexion suddenly became unsightly, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Save people first, and count as much as you can survive."

After Zheng Zhilong responded, Zhu Yujian continued: "If the fleet can sail normally, we will sail normally. If not, we will find a way to return. The king will take care of it."

Zheng Zhilong said: "My lord, don't worry, there is no problem with the fleet sailing. It's just that this time, affected by the water absorbed by the dragon, it's hard to judge where we are. We can only slowly find a way to find a piece of land first."

Seeing the worried look on Zhu Yujian's face, Zheng Zhilong comforted him, "Your Highness is worried about supplies?"

Zhu Yujian nodded and said, "That's right, what this king is worried about is the supply of food. When we went to sea, the food we prepared was just enough for us to supply after arriving in Malacca. Now it's near Malacca, right?"

Zheng Zhilong said: "My lord is right, we should be near Malacca now, it's just that it's hard to identify the direction for a while.

As for the food, although there is not much, it is still no problem to support it for another two or three days.

What's more, there are plenty of fish in this vast ocean, and eating fish alone is enough to support us for another month. "

But Zhu Yujian said worriedly: "This king is not worried about this, General Zheng has caught giant fish, so this king is not very worried about eating.

What I am worried about is that the water we brought is not a lot.But this king also knows that drinking seawater directly will kill people, and when there is no water, what should we drink? "

Zheng Zhilong laughed dumbly and said: "My lord, don't worry, you can't drink sea water directly, but if you mix it half and half with the water we brought, there will be no problem.

As for the water we brought with us, if we haven't found land yet, even drinking fish blood will be enough to survive for a few more days. "

After talking to Zhu Yujian for a few more words, Zheng Zhilong went out to make arrangements for the aftermath.

This time, no matter what, only one ship was lost, and the three princes were fine, and that was enough.

As for the soldiers on that ship, in Zheng Zhilong's view, they were not that important—anyway, Daming didn't have many other things, but there were too many people, so he just recruited them.

Zhu Zhuohong in the cabin said with a bitter face: "At the beginning I said that I shouldn't do anything to go to sea to build a country, but now it's good, and I almost lost my life before I got there."

But Zhu Cunji said: "Where did King Qing come from, when Emperor Taizu Gao conquered the world, the situation was not more dangerous than it is now?

If the great grandfather was afraid of death, how could my 300-year history of Ming Dynasty come about?You and I don't know where to graze the sheep, so how can we get the glory of the king of this country? "

Zhu Zhuohong said with a chuckle: "You, King Qin, are not afraid of death, but don't forget, if His Majesty hadn't let us go to sea to build a country, wouldn't we be a vassal king in Daming right now?"

Zhu Yujian glared at Zhu Zhuohong, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stay safe in Daming? Don't you understand our Majesty's temper?"

Zhu Zhuohong's heart trembled, and he said embarrassingly: "Uncle Wang calm down, it's my nephew who made a slip of the tongue."

What kind of temperament is Emperor Chongzhen? Zhu Zhuohong can also get a feel for it by asking himself - the feudal king wants to be a pig in Daming and wait to die. It is estimated that there will be no such good things in the future.

Even if there is, it is estimated that slowly such tricks as demotion, fines, and even reduction of fiefdoms should follow suit.

In short, we will not raise some useless rice worms.

Zhu Yujian said: "Put away all your little thoughts, now is not the same as in the past, it is the time when we work together to fight the country, the swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, greed for life and fear of death will only lead to death faster."

Chapter 371

Zhu Yujian is not talking nonsense.

In fact, since Zhu Yujian was the first vassal to respond to Emperor Chongzhen's transfer of title, and also the most active vassal to go to sea, Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhu Yujian preferential treatment in many things.

For example, when it comes to marching and fighting, Emperor Chongzhen not only personally took Zhu Yujian to analyze the battle situation when he was in Shaanxi, but also specially asked Battelle, Liu Xingzuo and others to give Zhu Yujian advice.

On the battlefield, those who don't take their lives seriously can survive, and those who are timid and afraid of death are often the ones who die the fastest.

If you don't take your own life seriously, you will be even less likely to take other people's lives seriously.

The more they are afraid of death, the more likely they are to die early. If they want to survive, Murphy's Law will definitely teach them to be human.

Zhu Zhuohong also knew that what Zhu Yujian said was reasonable, but he felt a little upset about it.

But Zhu Cunji nodded, and said in agreement: "What Uncle Wang said is absolutely true. After all, swords and guns have no eyes. If you are afraid, you should be timid. You can only use [-]% of your strength."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cunji changed his mind again: "It's just that I don't need to go to the battle in person, I just need to use good people."

Zhu Yujian glanced at Zhu Cunji approvingly, and said, "Cunji is right, as long as we wait for the feudal lord to use the right person, we don't need to go to the battle by ourselves. Even if we go to the battle in person, there are guards on the left and right to protect us. How could it be so dangerous?

Furthermore, since you and I belong to the clan, sometimes it is not up to you and me to sacrifice for the country. "

The words of sacrificing for the country made Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong's faces twitch.

The dog emperor said to move the seal, and the three of them ran to the sea.

Not to mention how many crimes he suffered before, how much gold and silver he lost, at least his life was almost thrown at sea.

If this is not considered a sacrifice for the country, is it only a sacrifice for the sake of throwing away your life?

Anyway, Zhu Cunji and Zhu Zhuohong felt that life is precious, and this world of flowers is also very good, at least there are plenty of beautiful ladies, so it is not worthwhile to lose life like this.

Zheng Zhilong also thought so.

Don't look at what Zheng Zhilong said when he comforted Zhu Yujian and the three vassal kings just now, as if it really wasn't a big deal, but in reality?

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

Zheng Zhilong ordered to run to the south before the dragon sucked water.

In fact, the fleet also executed this order perfectly, taking advantage of the strong wind and running southward, until they didn't know where the hell they ended up.

Under normal circumstances, by calculating the speed of the ship, you can calculate the approximate amount of running, but this time the pitfalls are not only the wind, but also the waves. In the end, don’t say where you ran, you can’t even know where you ran. I can't tell how far it is.

What bothered Zheng Zhilong the most was water.

Mixing half of the water you bring with you with sea water is enough for a period of time, but if you can’t find land, the water will have to be drunk sooner or later.

What do you do when you run out of drinks?

Do you drink sea water?The more you drink, the faster you die.
