In the morning, the hour of the hour and the hour of the sixth hour, a muffled thunder in the Qiantang River rolling, in the rolling thunder, a tidal wave such as a white train across the river to come, the tide closer, the louder the thunder, that a white train is also transformed into a nearly three-metre-high wall of water swept heavily, the potential of ten thousand horses galloping, not, the potential of ten thousand fierce lions pounce on the riverbank, heavy impact.
Bam!
The tide crashed into the bank with a terrifying bang, splashing up a thousand snowfalls like a landslide.
It was shocking and earth-shattering.
As the second wave of the three-metre tide crashed to pieces on the shore, a raft crashed to pieces and broke apart with it, and a few broken logs shot up the shore like crossbows and arrows.
Nao Nabeshima drew his katana, and with a precise slash, he cleaved the broken logs that were shot in front of him in half, the two halves of the logs flew past his temples, and one of the halves left a bloodstain on the side of Nao Nabeshima’s face.
“General Naoto ……”Matsuura Sanbanro, who was on the sidelines, worried.
“There is no harm in this general!”Nabeshima Naono waved his hand unconcernedly, and then with a face of pity, he looked at the fragmented rafts on the shore and sighed as he looked towards the monstrous tide of the Qiantang River, “It’s just a pity that Matsushita Kenichi and the eight of them ……”
Matsuura Sanbanro heard, also can not help but heavy sigh, staring blankly at the monstrous tide rolling the Qiantang River, the face is still shocked, after a long time despair, “Alas, Jianyi they rowed rafts to explore the road, the tide is not so big, who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye has become so horrible, no less than the sea giant waves. Such a huge tide, Jianyi and their eight are afraid to have gone to meet Amaterasu Omikami ……”
“Since we landed in Daming yesterday, broken Funing town, kill Shaoxing official army, raft across the river, night road and kill a group of official army, rush march to this river, destroy a village in front of the river to rest, a few times the big battle down, our army without a single damage, did not think that actually lost here Matsushita Jianyi their eight, really the world is unpredictable!”
Nabeshima Naono looked at the rolling waves of the Qiantang River and sighed.
“General Naoyao, this disaster is not the fault of the war, but the heaven’s might is unpredictable, after all, this place is the Great Ming, I’m afraid that the Amaterasu Great God’s magic power can’t reach, and it’s difficult to take care of us.”Matsuura Sanbanro consoled Nabeshima Naono said.
“Well, Sanbanro has a point. It’s just that it’s really shocking to see how big and vast the world is in Daiming. If I don’t come to Daming, I don’t know that the world is so big and beautiful, but the government army of Daming is as weak as a pig, and the people are as weak as a chicken, so what qualifications do I have to sit in the middle of the world? Only my Yamato men are worthy of such magnificent mountains and rivers!”Nabeshima Nao nodded, extended his katana and pointed at the rolling Qiantang River, incomparably middle-aged emotionally.
“Therefore, His Highness sent us to cross the sea ……”Matsuura Sanbanro took over.
“We vowed to die to fulfil the mandate of His Highness, and to be a good guide for my Yamato men to cross the sea.”
Nao Nabeshima’s hot blood surged and he turned to look at the group of Japanese behind him, swearing with a red face.
“Swear to fulfil your highness’ mandate to the death!”The crowd of Japanese pirates also shouted after them as if they were pumped with chicken blood.
“However, with such a shocking tide, how can we cross the river?”A Japanese kou raised the current looming question.
A group of Japanese pirates looked at the rolling waves of the Qiantang River, fell into silence, they are not afraid of the Ming army, not afraid to kill, but the Qiantang River such a big tide, with their now tied up rafts but it is difficult to cross, after all, they are also just flesh and blood, although they all know the water sex, but under this kind of non-human tide, it is difficult to have the possibility of survival.
“Daming’s most prosperous Suzhou-Hangzhou area is just across this river, His Highness’s mandate is still in our ears, how can we retreat, tie up rafts and cross the river! This time, this will be the first to board!”Nabeshima Naono inserted his katana into its sheath and shouted with fearless determination.
“Hi!”The Japanese responded.
“General Naotsugu take it easy! I think this river will not always be like this, there will be a time when the waves will calm down, after the wind and waves have calmed down, we can cross the river again.”Matsuura Sanbanro persuaded.
“Eh? Are we going to wait here forever if the waves don’t calm down? Time is precious and should not be wasted!”
Nabeshima Naono frowned.
“Admiral Naoyo wait a moment, I have asked Koichi and the others to go and tie up the boatmen here, they have lived here for generations, they must know the pattern of the waves, if the waves can be fixed within an hour, we will wait for the waves to calm down before we cross the river, if not, the boatmen here must know where to cross the river peacefully.”
Matsuura Sanbanro explained.
“Yancy! As expected of Sanbanro!”Naoe Nabeshima nodded his head in satisfaction, listening to Sanbanro Matsuura’s persuasion.
Soon, the Koichi and other Japanese pirates escorted three boatmen with swords as well as three children, who were obviously from the boatmen’s family and had been kidnapped by the Japanese pirates to threaten the boatmen.
Nao Nabeshima asked some of the Japanese who knew Chinese to interrogate the three boatmen separately about when the tide of Qiantang River would stop.
“The three boatmen all said that the tide would stop in a few moments. They said that the tide is still small at this time, and the tide is bigger in August and September.”After interrogating the three boatmen, the Japanese pirate, who had a rough understanding of Chinese, reported to Nabeshima Naono and Matsuura Sanbanro.
“Yancy! The tide is still quite small at this time, so it is evident that the Great God Amaterasu is also favouring us. Then let’s wait for a moment and a half, and then let them sail a boat to send us across the river.”Nao Nabeshima smiled and laughed.
In this way, after waiting for about half an hour, sure enough, the tide of the Qiantang River became smaller and gradually subsided in no time.
“Good! Cross the river!”Nabeshima Naono waved his hand and ordered.
“General Naono, during this half hour, I thought of something I wanted to ask you for advice.”Matsuura Sanbanro walked over to Nabeshima Naono and said.
“Sanbanro why do you have to be so formal, if you have any thoughts, just tell me.”Nabeshima Naono waved his hand and said.
“General Nao, I want to change the route, originally we planned to cross the river and then go straight north, in order for the Daming Linhai’s Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Yingtian, and then enter the sea from Yingtian to embark on our return journey. Now I would like to cross this river and then turn west, deep into the Great Ming Huizhou, and make a circle from the west by Nanling and Wuhu to the giant city of Yingtian, and then to the area of Changzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, before entering the sea for the return voyage.”
Matsuura Sanbanro looked up at Nabeshima Naoyo and said slowly.
“What? To turn west? Sanbanro! The richest part of Daming, the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, is clearly in the east, so why do we have to go west to go deeper into Daming and make this extra circle? This circle deep into Daming is bound to be dangerous, I, Nabeshima Naoyo, am not a person who is greedy and afraid of death, but I am just afraid of delaying Your Highness’s mandate.”
Nabeshima Naono looked at Matsuura Sanbanro with burning eyes and asked in disbelief.
“Admiral, I planned it this way precisely to fulfil His Highness’s mandate.”Matsuura Sanbanro explained.
“Hmm? His Highness ordered us to spy on the area of Su-Hang in Daming, but he did not tell us to spy deep into Daming!”
Nao Nabeshima questioned.
“General, do you think how the Great Ming will react if we cross the sea to invade the area of the Great Ming’s Suzhou and Hangzhou in the future?!”
Matsuura Sanbanro said.
“Da Ming will definitely not tie their hands ……”Nabeshima Naono said, then looked at Matsuura Sanbanro, “What does this have to do with changing the route?!”
“As the general said, the Great Ming will definitely not fold their arms. Their official troops around Suzhou-Hangzhou will definitely meet our army, in addition to that, Da Ming is such a large and populous land, they will definitely also mobilise their official troops nearby to surround our army, then Nanling, Wuhu and other inland areas that Suzhou-Hangzhou relies on behind it will definitely be the first choice. Therefore, I would like to make a detour to Yingtian by way of Nanling, Wuhu, and other places, and first spy for Your Highness on the realities of the official army in Nanling, Wuhu, and other places!”Matsuura Sanbanro explained to Nabeshima Naoyo.
“Yell West! Sanbanro has a point! Then I’ll listen to you, after crossing the river, turn west and go to Huizhou!”
After listening to Matsuura Sanbanro’s explanation, Nabeshima Naono was deeply impressed and adopted his suggestion with a firm nod.
