The servants standing beside Gu An looked a little panicked on their faces, and they looked back from time to time.

One of the servants said in a panic: "Master, what should I do? If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

In the past few days, they can be said to have exhaustive ways to get rid of these Japanese pirates who were chasing them, and even abandoned several large ships to escape in dispersion.

However, these Japanese pirates also scattered to chase them. Although it is not clear whether the other large ships have been caught by the Japanese pirates, based on their experience, I am afraid that those large ships are now in danger.

After all, the big ships they are currently riding are the fastest big ships in their Gu family. After all, it is impossible for all ships in a fleet to have the same speed. These big ships also have new and old, so the new big ships are naturally faster.

Even the ships they were riding on a slightly faster speed could not get rid of these Japanese pirates. It would be strange if other ships under their names could escape.

With a loud bang, a clear roar came from the pursuing Japanese pirates behind him, and Gu An couldn't help but look tight.

Just hearing the roar, Gu An naturally knew that it was the Japanese pirates who were shelling.

Of course, the Japanese pirates have more than once shelled, and I don’t know if the Japanese pirates have bad artillery or because of their good luck, the Japanese pirates have not hurt them at all after several shellings.

However, this behavior of placing life and death on luck is obviously unreliable. If you have bad luck and are hit by a shell, even if the ship is not sunk on the spot, it may cause great damage to the ship.

Now, if there is a little problem with the big ship beneath them during the escape process, it will definitely be a fatal crisis for them.

Gu An turned around and stared at the Japanese pirates chasing them behind him, with a little cold look in his eyes: "Send the order to keep up, let everyone raise the speed to me, and you must get rid of these Japanese pirates no matter what!"

After hearing Gu An's words, a servant opened his mouth and showed a bitter smile on his face.

Could he tell Gu An that the speed is now their limit, and if they can still speed up, why would they wait until now?

In fact, even Gu An knew this in his heart, but facing the Japanese pirates behind him, it seemed that they had no better way than speeding up.

After all, they had already thought of any solution they could think of before, but it was useless at all.

The Japanese pirates behind them were staring at them as if they could not get rid of them.

The person who had been standing beside Gu An had a pale face, but there was not much panic between his eyes. He was wearing silk and satin. Just looking at your dress, you would know that this person was different from those servants of the Gu family.

Gu Shisan is one of the candidates for the next generation of the Gu family. This person is only about 20 years old, but he has had several experiences going out to sea and is one of the talents trained by the Gu family.

Gu Shisan is just his title, but his name is Gu Li.

At this moment, Gu Li, who had not done anything, spoke to Gu An and said, "Uncle, you should continue to suffer from chaos. It's time to make a decision!"

Hearing Gu Li speak, Gu An couldn't help frowning, his eyes fell on Gu Li, and he shook his head with a little struggle, "Thirteen, it's not that my uncle refuses to agree, but that your proposal is unrealistic at all. Uncle cannot watch you die."

It turned out that Gu Li proposed to put down two small boats from the ship, and then he took more than a dozen servants to entangle the Japanese pirates, giving Gu An and the others time to escape.

This suggestion can be seen as long as it is not a fool. It would be strange if two small boats can stop these brutal Japanese pirates.

Gu Li looked at Gu An and said, "Uncle, if you don't take a try, everyone will die. If you take a try, even if you have one in ten thousand hope, at least you can leave a breath of vitality for our Gu family, right?"

Gu An looked at Gu Li with a complicated expression when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he wants to stay, I will stay. Xiao Shisan, please take this big ship to return to the Ming Dynasty alive."

Just as the two were arguing about whom to stay, a dark shadow appeared faintly above the sea level.

The black shadow that faintly appeared on the sea could naturally not be seen clearly by eyesight alone, but if someone observes through the Thousand Mile Mile Mile, he will find that it was actually a ship.

A large ship that was more than ten meters long and several meters high was sailing smoothly on the sea, and there were ships around it, and the ships maintained a certain distance from each other. At first glance, there were no less than hundreds of ships of all sizes around.

It is absolutely rare to see so many ships on the sea. I am afraid that only the fleet Zheng He brought when he went to the West could be comparable to it.

In this sea area, it is impossible for any other country to be able to dispatch such a huge fleet except the Ming Dynasty.

Needless to say, this fleet is the huge navy team led by Chu Yi.

The vast ocean is different from inland lakes. Even the soldiers selected by Chu Yi in advance were selected by people who were familiar with water. However, there were still many soldiers on the ship who were not adapted to this sea environment and caused seasickness.

Fortunately, a considerable number of soldiers were not very adaptable at the beginning, and after most of the day, they gradually adapted.

But there were also a very small number of people, and the total number of soldiers as many as four or five hundred were unable to adapt to the sea boating. In the end, Chu Yi ordered the soldiers who could not adapt to the sea boating to be sent back to the shore.

So the entire fleet is in harmony now, but there is no chaos.

On the huge ship, Chu Yi was in the cabin at this moment, his eyes fell on Lu Dazhu and other generals.

This time, Chu Yi brought many generals to the sea, but not many generals actually stayed on this flagship, only a few generals including Lu Dazhu.

Only Lu Dazhu could hear him saying to Chu Yi: "Maintain General Manager, all ships are in good condition. According to the judgment of experienced fishermen, there will be no strong winds and heavy rain on the sea within at least a few days."

Chu Yi nodded slightly. What ships on the sea fear the most is not encountering enemies or something, but stormy weather.

If you encounter an enemy, you can fight and fight. Even if you die in battle, there is nothing to complain about. You can only blame yourself for being inferior to others.

But once you encounter a storm, you will really give life and death to God.

Chu Yi dared not say that such a fleet of hundreds of ships can be invincible across the sea, but at least within the outer sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty, there is no country that can threaten this fleet.

Even if you look at the whole world, I'm afraid no country dares to say that it can win steadily.

So Chu Yi was not worried about whether he would encounter any enemies on the sea. He was only worried about the changing weather.

When the Mongol Yuan conquered Japan, it used more than 100,000 troops. Although there were many reasons for the final failure, the weather was an extremely important aspect.

If there is no barrier to the sea and no changeable weather, with the crazy expansion ability of the Mongols back then, not to mention a Japanese, I am afraid that even a few Japanese were flattened by the Mongols cavalry.

After looking at Lu Dazhu, Chu Yi said lightly: "Please always pay attention to the changes in the weather. Once there are signs of storms, you must understand this king as soon as possible."

A vast fleet was sailing on the sea, and saw a ship, looking at the surrounding scene with the help of the Qianli Mile Mile in his hand.

Although there is no need to worry about being ambushed above the sea like someone above the land, if you encounter an enemy, you can discover it first, and at least you can win the time for reaction, right?

The lookout hand habitually looked around, and the sea was endless. It can be said that there was no other sight except the sea water. Especially at this time, the fleet had already left the Ming Dynasty and entered the depths of the sea. Even water birds and other things were extremely rare.

Suddenly, the lookout hand was slightly stunned and his eyes were staring in one direction.

In the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, you can vaguely see several black dots moving quickly on the sea surface.

It was just a cup of tea that I could vaguely see the black spots that were all ships.

The news reached the Chu Yi case almost immediately.

Although Chu Yi was a little surprised to learn that he had found a ship at sea, he was not too shocked.

Although the chance of meeting a ship on the sea is not high, it cannot be said to be small. After all, with the opening of the Ming Dynasty, there are quite a few people who drive merchant ships to sea.

Japan is one of the most popular targets for merchants in the Ming Dynasty, so it is reasonable to meet some merchant ships on the route from the Ming Dynasty to Japan.

In Chu Yi's view, the ships found by the Lookout should be the fleets of those maritime merchants who went to Japan to do business.

Chu Yi just sent a message to the lookout hand to pay attention at any time and report it to him in time if there is any situation.

However, less than a stick of incense, Chu Yi, who was reading a book in the cabin, looked at Lu Dazhu in front of him in surprise and said, "What, you said the fleet you found seemed to be hunting down by another fleet?"

Lu Dazhu had a look of excitement on his face. It was obvious that the boring days at sea these two days made Lu Dazhu a little depressed. Now there is someone fighting at sea. How can he not make Lu Dazhu excited?

Lu Dazhu nodded excitedly and said, "Back to the general manager, according to our observations, it was the two teams who were chasing at the sea!"

Chu Yi stood up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, I want to see who he is!"

When Chu Yi appeared on the ship, several generals were almost on the lookout platform and staring at the sea in the distance with the help of the Qianli Mile Mile in their hands.

Chu Yi took the Qianli Mirror from Lin Pingzhi's hand, and then looked into the distance with the help of the Qianli Mirror.

In the Qianlijing lens, you can vaguely see that less than ten large and small ships were one after another, with the former fleeing and the latter chasing.

As for what identities the two sides are, it is impossible to judge for a while because of the distance. However, judging from the hull pattern, most of these ships were produced by the Ming Dynasty.

However, even so, it is difficult to judge what the other party is. After all, the ship built by the Ming Dynasty, even Japan or North Korea, is owned by them.

For merchants, as long as they have sufficient benefits, even large ships built cannot be traded. Therefore, it is somewhat unrealistic to judge what the other party is through the hull pattern.

Suddenly, Lu Dazhu, who was standing beside Chu Yi and staring at the distance with the help of a thousand-mile mirror in his hand, exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag is actually the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag distributed by the Maritime Bureau!"

Chu Yi opened the sea. For those maritime merchants who went overseas, any maritime merchant who paid the tax and silver could receive a special Daming Sun and Moon Banner after the Mailing Sect ascended the throne and made the book.

The Sun and Moon Flag of the Great Ming Dynasty is equivalent to a sea pass, which is directly related to some of Chu Yi's next actions.

In Chu Yi's plan, once more than a thousand ships he advocated to build were launched one after another, he would build several sea fleets, and then these sea fleets would maintain order on the sea.

Of course, these are naturally just an idea at the moment. After all, there are not many ships that the imperial court can use now, and there is no spare effort to form a maritime fleet. Therefore, the Sun and Moon Flag of the Ming Dynasty can only be regarded as a sign of paying commercial taxes and has no other function yet.

However, in Chu Yi's eyes, these merchants with the special Sun and Moon Banners of the Ming Dynasty were legal maritime merchants protected by the Ming Dynasty. As long as the other party legally paid commercial taxes, they would be recognized by Chu Yi.
