Chapter 1455 Temporary change of route

In the morning, when the time of Chenshi and Sishi were handed over, a series of muffled thunder rolled in the Qiantang River. Amidst the rolling thunder, waves of tides rushed across the river like white strings. The closer the tide was, the louder the thunder, and the white waves Lian also turned into a nearly three-meter-high wall of water and swept forward, like ten thousand horses galloping, no, like ten thousand ferocious lions, slamming heavily towards the river bank.

Bang!

The tide hit the shore, and there was a loud noise, like a landslide and a crack, splashing a thousand layers of snow.

Earth-shattering, shocking.

When the second wave of three-meter tide smashed to pieces on the shore, a raft was also smashed to pieces and shattered on the shore, and several broken logs were shot on the shore like crossbow arrows.

Naoshima drew out his samurai sword, and split the broken log in front of him with one knife, and the two halves of the log flew past his temples, half of which left a bloodstain on the side of Naoshima's face .

"Straight male general." Matsuura Sanbanlang on the side said worriedly.

"It will be fine!" Naoshima waved his hands indifferently, then looked at the broken raft on the bank with a regretful face, sighed and looked at the surging Qiantang River, "It's just a pity that Panasonic Construction one of them eight"

Hearing the words, Matsuura Sanbanlang couldn't help but sighed heavily, stared blankly at the surging Qiantang River, his face was still shocked, and after a long time said sadly, "Oh, when Jianyi and the others paddled a raft to explore the way, , the tide is not so big, who would have thought that it would become so terrifying in a blink of an eye, no less than a huge wave on the sea. With such a huge tide, Jianyi and the eight of them must have already gone to meet Amaterasu."

"Since we landed in Daming yesterday, we have destroyed Funing Town, killed Shaoxing officers and soldiers, crossed the river on a raft, and killed another group of officers and soldiers at night. Once injured, Matsushita Kenichi and the eight of them were unexpectedly damaged here, it is really unpredictable!"

Naoshima sighed while looking at the surging Qiantang River.

"General Zhinan, this catastrophe is not the result of a battle, it is the unpredictable power of heaven. After all, this place is Great Ming. I am afraid that the magic power of Amaterasu will be beyond our reach, and it will be difficult to take care of us." Matsuura Sanfanlang comforted Naoshima Naonan.

"Well, what San Fanlang said is reasonable. It's just that Daming has such a vast land and resources, which is really shocking. If you don't come to Daming, you don't know that the world is so big and the rivers and mountains are so good. The officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are as weak as pigs, and the people are as weak as chickens. What qualifications do you have to sit on?! Only me, Yamato, is worthy of such a magnificent mountain and river!" Nabeshima nodded, pointed at the rolling Qiantang River with his samurai sword, and said with emotion.

"So, Your Highness sent me to cross the sea." Sanbanlang Matsuura took over the conversation.

"I will swear to my death to fulfill His Highness's entrustment, and guide me and my son across the sea."

Naoshima's blood surged, he turned to look at the Japanese pirates behind him, and swore with a flushed face.

"Swear to die to fulfill His Highness's orders!" All the Japanese pirates also shouted like chicken blood.

"However, with such a stormy sea, why cross the river?" Some Japanese pirates raised an urgent question.

A group of Japanese pirates looked at the surging Qiantang River and fell silent. They were not afraid of the Ming army, and they were not afraid of fighting, but the tide of the Qiantang River was so high that it was difficult for them to cross it with the raft they had built. After all, they were only flesh and blood. , although they are all water-based, it is difficult to survive under such a non-human tide.

"The most prosperous Suzhou-Hangzhou area in the Ming Dynasty is just across the river. His Highness's instructions are still in my ears. How can I retreat, set up a raft, and cross the river! This time, I will go first!" Nabeshima put the samurai sword into the scabbard , shouted firmly without fear.

"Hi!" the Japanese pirate responded.

"Straight male general, don't be impatient! I don't think this river will always be like this. There must be a time when it calms down. After the wind and waves calm down, it will not be too late for me to cross the river again." Sanbanlang Matsuura comforted him.

"Huh? Could it be that the tide is not fixed, so we have to wait here forever?! Time is precious, so we can't waste it!"

Naoshima frowned.

"General Zhinan, wait a moment. I have ordered Haoyi and the others to tie up the boatmen here. They have lived here for generations, and they must know the law of the tide. If the tide can be settled within an hour, we will wait for the tide to calm down before crossing the river. , the boatmen here must know where they can cross the river safely."

Matsuura Sanbanlang explained.

"Yaoxi! As expected of Sanbanro!" Naoshima nodded in satisfaction, and heeded Matsuura Sanbanro's persuasion.

Soon, Koichi and other Japanese pirates escorted three boatmen and three children with knives. The child obviously belonged to the boatman's family and was **** by the Japanese pirates to threaten the boatman.

Naoshima Naoo ordered the Japanese pirates to have a rough understanding of Chinese, and interrogated the three boatmen separately when the tide of the Qiantang River would stop.

"Back to the general, the three boatmen all said that the tide will stop in a while. They said that the tide is still relatively small at this time, and the tide is even greater in August and September." After finishing the three boatmen, he reported to Nabeshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanro.

"Yuxi! The tide is still low at this time, so it can be seen that Amaterasu is also caring for me. Then wait for a while, and then let them take me across the river by boat." Naoshima Naonan heard the words, Haha laughed.

So, after waiting for about half an hour, the tide of the Qiantang River became smaller and subsided after a while.

"Good! Cross the river!" Naoshima ordered with a wave.

"General Naoshima, I've thought about one thing for half an hour, and I want to ask you for instructions." Sanbanlang Matsuura walked up to Nabeshima Naochi and said.

"Why should Sanbanlang be so cynical? What do you think, just say it." Naoshima waved his hands.

"Straight male general, I want to change the route. Originally, I planned to go straight north after crossing the river, and go to Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Yingtian in the Ming Dynasty, and then enter the sea from Yingtian and embark on the return journey. Now I want to After crossing the river, turn west, go deep into Huizhou of the Ming Dynasty, circle from the west from Nanling, Wuhu to the giant city of Yingtian, and then go to Changzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, and then enter the sea and return.

Sanbanrou Matsuura looked up at Nabeshima Naoo, and said slowly.

"What? Turning to the west?! Sanfanlang! The most affluent Suzhou and Hangzhou area in Ming Dynasty is obviously in the east. Why do you want to go west and go deep into Daming, and go around this circle?! This circle going deep into Daming is bound to be full of dangers. I Naoshima is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is afraid of delaying His Highness's orders."

Naoshima Naoo looked at Sanbanrou Matsuura with burning eyes, and asked in puzzlement.

"General, I planned this precisely to fulfill His Highness's request." Sanbanlang Matsuura explained.

"Huh?! His Highness ordered me to spy on the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't let us go deep into the Ming Dynasty to spy!"

Naoshima asked.

"General, what do you think, when I cross the sea to invade the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas of the Ming Dynasty in the future, how will the Ming Dynasty react?!"

Matsuura Sanbanlang said.

"Da Ming will definitely not be caught without a fight." Naoshima Naoo said, and then looked at Matsuura Sanbanro, "What does this have to do with changing the course?!"

"As the general said, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be captured without a fight. The officers and troops in the Suhang area will definitely fight our army. In addition, since the Ming Dynasty is so vast and has a large population, they will definitely mobilize the officers and troops nearby to encircle and suppress our army. So Suhang The inland areas such as Nanling and Wuhu that I rely on behind must be the first choice. Therefore, I want to detour to Nanling, Wuhu and other places to Yingtian, and first spy on the officials and soldiers in Nanling, Wuhu and other places for His Highness!" Sanbanlang Matsuura Explained to Nabeshima Naoo.

"Yaoxi! San Fanlang is right! Then listen to you. After crossing the river, turn west and go to Huizhou!"

After listening to Matsuura Sanbanlang's explanation, Nabeshima Naoo deeply agreed and nodded vigorously to accept his suggestion.
