open sea

Chapter 1421
Ying Ming was a little suspicious of Yang Ce's origin.

He knew Yang Ce, and had a little understanding of this pirate leader. He followed Lin Afeng from Nanyang all the way to Africa, and he was the only remaining pirate in Ming Dynasty.

I think back when Chen Mu went to sea, and from Zeng Sanlao, the pirates who gathered in the turbulent waves and burned the city and destroyed the country died, hid, and collected. Only Lin Afeng surrendered first and then rebelled. Canonized by Emperor Wanli.

In fact, when Lin Afeng was granted the title of King of Min in the Ming Dynasty, the people all over the world didn't hate pirates so much. On the contrary, they thought that this was the only seedling that kept the incense of Chinese pirates.

Because they are really the only ones left. Opening the sea ban, the imperial court dug up the ancestral graves of pirates from the root. After a change in Feng Shui, the common people who have hoped for the sea will become serious maritime merchants. What about pirates?
After all, it was a helpless choice with no room for improvement.

Can rely on imperial examinations to get an official career, which scholar is deceived by lard and is willing to serve as a dog-headed military adviser to the king of the mountain?
In this era, ordinary people who can enter the martial arts hall enter the martial arts hall, and those who cannot enter the martial arts hall enter the Beiyang training ground.

Those who are not ordinary people take the imperial examination. Being a civil servant is also the most glorious thing. Civil and military officials in Ming Dynasty are the most glorious profession in the whole world. Now they go to sea. No matter what kind of king or lord you are, don’t give it to our little hundred. After the user kneels down, I will never end with you.

Just like Chen Jiujing was awarded the Duke of Baishan in France, the Valois royal family wanted him to kneel at the canonization ceremony, but in the end they couldn’t make an agreement, so the little Jiuye killed a request and wanted me to kneel, 5 taels of gold knee.

In his mind, if he earns another 40 taels of foreign exchange for the court, it doesn't matter if he kneels down.

In the end, it really didn’t work out, so he backhandedly threw out a waiver. If he was really short of money, we understand that the commander-in-chief of the mountain would not be that villain. You hum, the third brother kneeled for me at the canonization ceremony, and my army retreated. If I don't ask you for money for forty miles, I will save you 5 taels of gold.

Anyway, in the Baishan Pavilion in Baishan City, the little eunuch from Ming Dynasty who supervised the army recorded it like this: Fu Lanxi Wang Hei San'er summoned all the officials to discuss it, and thought it was inappropriate.

This kind of thing, the king of a country, let alone discussing it as a serious matter, has already lost just by looking at it.

Back to Ying Ming, he discussed military affairs with Yang Ce, and there was a feeling of sympathy throughout the whole process. It didn't feel like Ying Ming was discussing matters with his subordinates, but it was like discussing matters with Lin Lai, a few members who had studied in the Guangdong Lecture Hall. Same.

Yang Ce, the leader of the pirates, used the standard lecture hall tactics, even the way of speaking and giving battle examples were exactly the same as the generals who graduated from the lecture hall.

This is so strange, Ying Ming has never attended martial arts lectures, what he learned was after he was promoted and received a short-term training from the chief, and then rushed to the shelves, especially in the resumes of Qianhu and generals, there is no people train him.

His talent is barely at the level of a hundred households in the Northern Ocean of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the dispatch of subordinates, marching and fighting, or the astronomy and geography of traditional generals, he has some understanding but has no chance to study carefully.

But the most unfair thing in the world is here. He can fight, as long as he brings one or two hundred Eastern Banner troops and some pastoral camps, he will be invincible in small-scale encounters and invincible in medium-scale decisive battles.

For no other reason, this group of people is of high quality, and Ying Ming hardly needs to do anything in battle.

At first, the Dongyang Banner Army was able to read and fight for three months. With the help of the Banner Army, Mu Yeying also became literate, and the preaching officer could work.

Therefore, when Ying Ming and Yang Ce discussed strategies and tactics, Yang Ce would often say something, and Ying Ming: Oh!It's okay!

Ying Ming felt strange, and Yang Ce felt even more strange: How did this idiot get to London?
What a pain for Yang Ce. He has a bunch of ignorant pirates, no junior officers who can be used, and there is no country or military constraints. The entire pirate group is like a loose secret association without religious beliefs.

Regardless of what he did, he showed [-]% of his talents, and finally conveyed to the soldiers that he could only complete [-]% of them. With this [-]%, he buried an era of European counterparts.

Therefore, even though he still has a strong atmosphere of lecture hall, the army under him does not look like the Beiyang Banner Army at all.

The Beiyang Banner Army is an autonomous force. The scouts can move freely from the front line for two to three hundred miles. The commanders of each force can act independently to open up the situation after losing contact with the Chinese army.

On the other hand, Yang Ce's troops were just the opposite. His soldiers had absolutely no autonomy. They didn't need to think about anything other than what the officer said. All thinking, whether right or wrong, was useless.

Soon, two Spanish companies and three pirates led an army from outside the city to the north gate of London. They did not participate in the task of besieging the Tower of London, and Ying Ming guarded his butt full-time.

Afterwards, a steady stream of pirate troops and Spanish companies marched towards London, covering the wounded soldiers of the pasture camp and spreading out in the streets of London city, loading and transporting all valuables from houses that lost their owners to Westminster Abbey, and then bringing cattle and horses to Westminster. Vehicle shipped to Southampton.

Several small flying shark warships sailed from the Thames River into London, relying on ship cannons and bird guns to monitor the bridges on the river, and set up wood and stone fortifications at the bridgeheads along the route.

A pirate from the Ministry of Thousand Households began to search for strong men in the west of the city and the outskirts of the city.

Farther to the north of the city, a Spanish light cavalry company acted as a scout, setting up guards forty miles forward to prevent Earl Robert from leading his army back to make a surprise attack.

After completing all the preparations, Yang Ce personally led two pirate troops from the Ministry of Thousands of Households into the south bank of the Thames River, and quickly attacked and wiped out the remaining defenders in the south of the city with a sweeping force, and implemented military control over the streets. The Huangming flag and the Chinese character Yang flag were planted at the bridgehead.

After he finished these things, he did not follow Ying Ming to continue the siege of the Tower of London. They only besieged but did not attack. They did not use the secret door of the Tower of London that Linden knew to raid, nor did they use the method of forcible attack. They just besieged slowly , and continued to persuade Baron Charles in the tower to surrender.

On April [-], pirates from three hundred households drove thousands of peasants gathered outside the city into the south of the city.

They removed a small section of the embankment opposite the Tower of London and rebuilt the embankment with wood and stones. The newly built embankment was four feet lower than before, and three trestle bridges were built at the same time.

A large area of ​​civil, wood and stone structures along the coast was destroyed, and four large earthwork forts with a distance of [-] steps and a side length of [-] feet began to be built.

Through the river, a series of general Zhenshuo cannons imitated by the Han Dynasty were transported to the trestle bridge by warships, and pushed onto the large earthwork fort built along the river at the rate of [-] per day.

They even confiscated the monastery in the south city as a powder depot.

Yang Ce's thinking is very simple, if you want to stick to it, I will make you too scared to stick to it.

There is no city in this world that cannot be captured by hundreds of cannons. Even if the city wall cannot be blown away, shells can still be used to pave a road leading directly into the city under the city wall.

　Good morning!I'm going out for a trip today, Chapter 2 may be released at night.
