The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 187 Be My Brother

On the side, Shi Yong said: "Second Lord, you don't know something."

"Although Ding Yi is young, he is capable of both civil and military skills, has extraordinary conversation, and has an inexplicable majesty on his body."

"It's a teenage hero."

"Haha, young hero?" Zheng Zhihu laughed with disdain, and everyone around him also laughed.

Zheng Zhihu went out with Zheng Zhilong at the age of 14, first to Macau, then to Japan, Ding Yi is considered a young hero, what am I, Zheng Zhihu?
"Of course, our main purpose this time is to see if this person is telling the truth." Shi Yong said in a deep voice: "He claimed to rule tens of thousands of Liao people, thousands of elite soldiers, and iron armor like clouds."

"Hehe, here we are, we want to see the elite soldiers of Liaodong, right?"

Zheng Zhihu nodded as expected: "The elite soldiers of Liaodong must watch."

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed, and Zheng Zhilong also laughed.

In their eyes, of course there are no elite soldiers.

If there were elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, they would be beaten into such a state by Hou Jin, losing cities and lands every year, and losing battles and defeats.

The number of officers and soldiers lost is unknown.

But Zheng Zhilong felt in his heart that Ding Yi was a little capable, and he looked a little like himself when he was young.

Although he was forced to worship, but if Ding Yi really has the ability, he is willing to give Latin Yi a hand.

Two days later, someone reported that Lushun was not far ahead.

Zheng Zhilong hurried out of the boat, and the rest of the generals also came to the bow to watch.

Zheng Zhihu was already thinking, how about finding an opportunity for the brothers on board to try the elite soldiers of Liaodong?

Ding Yi must be given a blow.

In a rural place like Liaodong, how dare you call my eldest brother brother and brother?

He thought to himself, what excuse would he find to try with Liaodong soldiers?
Not long after, the Lushun alley ahead became clearer and clearer.

A large group of boats appeared on the sea.

Zheng Zhilong and the others were also a little surprised when they saw it, because Lushun is not heavily fortified by the navy, and it is generally impossible to have so many ships.

The navy on the Fujian side was heavily fortified to see so many ships at once.

Like Shen Shikui and Ding Yi, there are fifteen ships here. This is the ship that Ding Yi is planning to go to Japan.

Originally, 35 ships were prepared, but it was later discovered that there was not so much money to buy so many supplies.

In this way, out of the fifteen ships, only ten were full, and five were empty.

Ding Yi strives to bring them back from Japan.

When the ship was approaching, Zheng Zhilong's subordinates all laughed. Ding Yi's ships were various, including old ships bought from Zheng Zhilong, rebuilt warships, and old merchant ships.

And the Fuchuan they led, a large ship with two thousand materials, was almost one of the largest merchant ships in the sea after Zheng He's voyages.

It can hold six to seven million catties with full load.

Of course, generally this kind of big ship will not be fully loaded, which will affect the speed of the ship and is not conducive to safety.

Seeing that Ding Yi's boat was a bit shabby, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help asking Shi Yong: "When will the boat they ordered from us be ready?"

In October last year, Ding Yi ordered a merchant ship of 10 materials in Fujian, which cost tens of thousands of taels.

"September to October." Shi Yongdao.

"Oh." Zheng Zhilong said oh, but didn't say anything.

It's too early to say anything now.

If Ding Yi is different from what he imagined, Zheng Zhilong doesn't have to sell that boat.

He is a hero, but also a businessman.

If there is too much difference between his teammates and him, he will feel that there is no need to invest.

But when his boat slowly approached Lushunkou, his expression became serious.

All Zheng Zhilong's people on the bow were laughing at first.

But laughing and laughing, they couldn't laugh either.

Seen from above the boat.

I saw a crowd of people on the pier above the entrance of Lushun Alley.

It is not surprising that there are many people, but what is strange is that these people are criss-crossed, all straight as a straight line.

They are tall and can see clearly.

The distance between everyone is almost exactly the same, and the left, right, front, back, and front are as straight as a line.

As they got closer, they suddenly discovered that they were all fully armored soldiers.

The soldiers were all fully armored, and when they got closer, they were all armored.

In the reflection of the sun, the iron armor glowed brilliantly, but it was icy cold.

"Hiss..." Shi Yong was the first to take a deep breath.

"10--12--20--30--" He muttered words, his face constantly changing.

"What are you counting?" Zheng Zhihu was puzzled.

Shi Yong ignored him and continued counting. After a while, his face changed drastically: "There are forty rows in total, and each row has 50 soldiers. There are two thousand elite soldiers in this area."

"There are two thousand in this piece?" Zheng Zhilong's expression also changed drastically.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were as many generals as there were [-] soldiers in the army, but there was not a single soldier whose subordinates were all in armor.

The key is that this is not the only area on the pier.

Farther away, there was also a motionless, straight military formation.

"There is also two thousand over there?" Zheng Zhihu exclaimed.

"It should be too." Shi Yong's face was ashen, trembling.

A small guerrilla with so many soldiers?There are so many boats?

He trembled because he saw that these soldiers were really elite.

They saw from a distance that the boat was slowly approaching the shore, with the midday sun above their heads, and everyone remained motionless for almost a quarter of an hour.

"Damn girl, why don't you show us off?" Yang Tiansheng cursed.

"It's not about showing off." Zheng Zhilong blushed and said excitedly, "This is sincerity, hahaha."

"Sincerity?" Several big bosses were inexplicable.

Only Shi Yong could tell that Ding Yi was telling Zheng Zhilong that I, Ding Yi, have the strength to become brothers with you and do business with you.

This person is so powerful on land, plus an official who dominates the world?
This, this, a strong alliance, Shi Yong's heart was shocked.

But soon he realized that he should persuade an official not to sell the ship to him in the future.

"Hmph, I think they are all armored, and many people in the back don't have iron armors." Zheng Zhihu finally found the problem at this time. It turned out that Ding Yi hadn't put his entire army in iron armors yet, and the iron armors must have been slow to fight.

Zheng Zhilong rolled his eyes at him: "It's not easy, give him time, we will come again next year, we must be full of iron armor."

"I like it or not, it's just a bag of grass in the embroidery needle." Zheng Zhihu's mouth was still stiff.

"It's been almost a quarter of an hour, and I haven't moved." Shi Yong said in a deep voice.

Everyone was slightly moved.

A few minutes later, Zheng Zhilong's big boat docked first.

He had already seen Ding Yi standing on the shore, surrounded by generals, all of them were murderous.

Comparing the two, he immediately felt that the people around him were still pirates and dogs.

In fact, someone's official position is no less than Ding Yi's, but when compared with Ding Yi's soldiers, he is immediately inferior.

Zheng Zhihu probably also felt that the other side was very imposing, grinning with displeasure on his face.

at this time.

Suddenly, someone shouted from the shore, "Get ready——"

Hush, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, up to the chest, then push forward, and then lift it up to the top of the head.

Three movements, one step and one stop.

Everyone moved in unison, and finally raised their guns at exactly the same height.

Hiss, everyone on board looked dumbfounded.

"1, 2, 3, firing—"

Bang bang, dozens of shots fired at the same time.

When he counted to 123, all the soldiers lit the fire rope, and finally fired their guns together, with an astonishing momentum.

But what impressed Zheng Zhilong and the others the most was Ding Yi's neat and invincible image of soldiers and horses.

"After the ceremony, put away the gun."

Hush, everyone put away their guns and held them with one hand again, with the handles standing on the ground.

Everyone was like a statue again, motionless.

"Strong, really strong." Yang Tiansheng was full of praise.

He was born as a pirate, but looking at Ding Yi's soldiers and horses now, he really feels strong.

Just acting like this, he felt that if he was asked to lead a team to practice, he would not be able to practice well in a year.

"Whether you are strong or not, you will only know when you go to the battlefield." Zheng Zhihu insisted.

Shi Yong said in a deep voice: "I heard that this person has won countless battles. He has never lost a war against Hou Jin."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

Zheng Zhilong laughed, the boat had docked, he said with a smile: "It should be my brother." He strode off the boat.

Finally admitted Ding Yi as sworn brother.
