Good morning Daming

Chapter 1039: This King, Zhu Zaizhen
All the Japanese pirates gathered on the merchant ship, and Jiang Qingzhi ordered the musketeers to board the ship and attack.

King Jing volunteered.

Lin Xi advised: "Your Highness is a person of great wealth, and swords and guns have no eyes..."

Chen Zheng also said: "Your Highness, it is better for you to watch the battle."

It is common for young people to like fighting, but Chen Zheng thought of Prince Yu's participation in the Northern Expedition and felt that Prince Jing wanted to compete with his brother.

You go to the north to kill the enemy, can't I shed blood in the south?

The fact that the Taoist priest did not appoint a crown prince caused a lot of speculation in the outside world, and Chen Zheng was naturally no exception.

This time, Chen Zheng brought King Jing south with him. Along the way, he first used the words of teaching King Jing to narrow the distance between them. But as soon as he opened his mouth, King Jing had countless reasons waiting for him.

You would say that is fallacy!

But every sentence has a source and is well-founded.

You're saying this is not fallacy!

Those views are very different from the current mainstream opinion.

Chen Zheng knew that it was Jiang Qingzhi's influence that was at work.

He did not give up, but after many attempts, he found that King Jing was incredibly smart, which reminded him of the young disciple in King Xing's palace.

If you try to fool him, he will fool you instead.

As expected of him, he is the Taoist's favorite youngest son. Judging from his intelligence, Chen Zheng thinks they are cut from the same mold.

King Jing looked at his uncle, "Uncle..."

If something happened to King Jing, Zhou Wang would not be able to escape, so he also advised: "Your Highness, fighting on the sea is more dangerous than fighting on land. If you are not careful, you will fall into the sea. If the ship catches fire, there will be nowhere to escape."

King Jing ignored him and just looked at Jiang Qingzhi.

He was in a lazy state, as if nothing could cheer him up.

Jiang Qingzhi said gently: "Have you figured it out?"

King Jing shook his head, "No."

"Then go and sober up." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "Go!"

The boat was lowered, and King Jing and his foot soldiers climbed down the ladder awkwardly.

"Chang Wei Bo!" Chen Zheng whispered, "This is the prince!"

If an accident happens, none of us can bear the responsibility!
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "I will take care of it."

Zhou Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Zheng approached Jiang Qingzhi and whispered, "Does Chang Wei Bo have other plans for King Jing?"

"Not really." Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand, and Sun Bu Tong followed with two guards.

"Then isn't it inappropriate to let King Jing take the risk? Zhou Wang is a member of Yan's party. After a letter, there will be an uproar in the capital. People will say that you, Chang Wei Bo, let King Jing go to the danger on purpose. Naturally, your purpose is not pure." The old man said this to Jiang Qingzhi from the bottom of his heart.

"Paving the way for Prince Yu?" Jiang Qingzhi said contemptuously, "I am just worried."

"Ah!" Chen Zheng sighed, "I don't know what your majesty is thinking."

Jiang Qingzhi remained silent.

King Jing boarded the ship with his infantry, and then more than ten small boats began to approach the merchant ship.

"Your Highness." Chen Bao personally led the team to attack. He asked, "Should we attack?"

The Japanese pirates' archers were drawing their bows and arrows on the deck, waiting for them to approach.

"Let's get started!" King Jing touched the handle of the long sword at his waist and thought of a story his uncle had told him when he was young. It was a story about a gangster... a gangster. When the two sides disagreed, they drew their swords and chopped each other. It was very passionate and satisfying. King Jing was so excited that he wanted to find a good brother to fight for the territory together.

He suddenly thought of this story, and suddenly drew his sword, pointed it at the merchant ship, and imitated his uncle's words when the two sides were about to fight: "Get him!"

"volley!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The archers fell off the boat like birds hit by arrows.

"volley!"

Bang bang bang bang!

After the second round of salvos, most of the Japanese pirates on the deck fell.

The rest were dumbfounded.

"This is... a cannon!" the military advisor exclaimed.

After getting the Portuguese firearms, Japan quickly began to imitate them. It must be said that the Orientals were really talented in imitation and soon made a fire gun. Because they had never seen the world, after seeing the power of the matchlock gun, they named it iron cannon.

King Jing shouted, "Get on board!"

The small boat approached the merchant ship, and King Jing was the first to board.

"Hurry up and catch up." Sun Bu Tong shouted.

He looked up and saw King Jing boarding the ship, and then a Japanese pirate rushed towards him with a roar, and he became very anxious.

King Jing raised his sword to block. When the two swords touched, he felt a huge force coming, and the long sword was knocked away, exposing the middle gate.

The Japanese pirate grinned and swung his sword.

Most of the new recruits are confused when waiting like this, that is, they enter a state where their brain stops thinking and they are waiting to die in a daze.

King Jing quickly lowered his head and saw that he was a newly recruited Japanese pirate, and his sword missed. He was stunned for a moment.

This gave King Jing the opportunity to counterattack.

He chopped at it randomly, without any plan at all.

But many times, how should I say...a random punch can defeat the master.

Normally he should have chopped with his sword diagonally... the long sword was swung away and fell at exactly this angle, so he didn't even have to readjust his sword-drawing posture, which was so worry-free.

The Japanese pirate also thought so, so he tried his best to bend his body to the side. According to his rich experience in fighting, he calculated that the knife of the man in brocade robe opposite him would most likely pass by his side.

His counterattack will then end the fight.

He has the confidence to deal with the new recruits.

But the brocade robe man's long sword changed its angle halfway.

The Japanese pirate widened his eyes and swore that he saw the brocade-robed man's long sword go out of control.

This is a common mistake made by beginners - not being able to hold the knife steady, or not being able to control their body posture.

The angle of the knife changed and it turned into a cut across the waist.

What the hell...

The long sword cut into the Japanese pirate's waist very deeply!
Prince Jing blinked his eyes. Prince Yu was taught riding and archery by Sun Chonglou, and Prince Jing’s master was Jiang Qingzhi... He couldn’t get along with other people, and only his cousin could make him obedient.

——After hitting the opponent, the first thing to do is to draw the sword.

Remember, you must draw your sword quickly. If you are a step slower, you will die.

After practicing many times, King Jing had formed a conditioned reflex. When hit by a knife, he would subconsciously pull out the knife with all his strength.

Just as he drew his sword, a spear passed by him.

Sun Bu Tong rushed over and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

He didn't call him His Highness, and Chen Bao, who was in command, secretly praised his cleverness. Seeing King Jing almost get stabbed, Chen Bao was frightened to death. He looked back at Jiang Qingzhi's boat and said with some resentment, "Aren't you afraid of an accident, Master?"

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw the soldiers around him staring blankly in the direction of King Jing.

Not good! Chen Bao's heart trembled.
He turned back sharply.

King Jing passed a Japanese pirate, who was holding his body with a spear. He had been stabbed in the abdomen, and colorful intestines were flowing out of his abdomen...

What the hell!

"Who did it?" Chen Bao asked.

"It's His Royal Highness Prince Jing!" The soldier looked confused.

"He killed him with his own hands?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Your Highness just swung the sword..." The soldier gestured the movement of swinging the sword, "It was so swift, it didn't look like it was his first time in battle."

"How is that possible?" Chen Bao smiled. At this time, King Jing had already rushed to a place less than three steps away from the leader of the Japanese pirates. The military advisor pointed at King Jing with a folding fan and shouted, "This is the enemy leader, you must kill him alive!"

Two waves of musket fire shattered the arrogance of the Japanese pirates.

This is not the Ming navy!
These are the battle-hardened soldiers under Jiang Qingzhi’s command!

The military advisor's judgment was correct. He thought of the rumor that Jiang Qingzhi defeated Altan Khan's 200,000-strong army during his northern expedition.

An army of 200,000, even if it's just bragging, there must be at least 100,000!
The 100,000-strong army was wiped out in one battle by the young man on the opposite warship.

There are only a hundred of us... Isn't this just giving away our lives?

surrender?

All of Matsugi Yoshiko's subordinates were killed in the construction of the Jingguan, and some said that the captives were not spared either.

You can surrender to anyone, but not Jiang Qingzhi!

That's a real killer!
The military advisor judged from the enemy's reaction that the young man in brocade robe must be an important figure, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic, "Capture him alive!"

Jiang Qingzhi didn't want any prisoners, and the only way they had a chance of survival was to capture this young man.

blah blah!

Two shots!

The two musketeers killed their opponents with ease, it was incredibly easy.

What bravery? After the invention of the flintlock rifle, bravery became history.

King Jing rushed to the front of the Japanese pirate leader.

- Remember, don't jump up and swing your sword wildly on the battlefield. The smaller the movement, the better.

This was Jiang Qingzhi's teaching. After he had experienced actual combat, he felt that the act of leaping up and swinging a sword as performed in TV dramas in his previous life was just asking for death.

The battlefield changes rapidly. The moment you jump up, your opponent has countless ways to kill you.

Quick and accurate!
This is the secret to killing enemies on the battlefield.

But what are the Japanese pirates good at?
Jump up and slash!

In countless battles with the Ming army, they knew their opponents' strengths very well... they were afraid of the enemy like a tiger. Therefore, they boldly adopted the tactic of leaping up and striking with a knife.

Use your momentum to suppress your opponent!
Japanese swords are sharp, and with a leap like this, one can often cut off the opponent's weapon or gun, and kill the opponent.

The leader still used this move. When the Ming soldiers who had encountered him in the past saw him leap up, they were already scared out of their wits. Their only reaction was to block or dodge. The stupidest thing was to just stand there and wait for death...

But King Jing was different.

——Are you not convinced? Why don’t you come and jump with a knife?

One day, his cousin Jiang Qingzhi saw that King Jing was not convinced, so he asked him to practice with him.

King Jing leaped up and swung his sword.

Jiang Qingzhi dodged it lightly, and then stabbed...

——The time you spent jumping up and swinging the sword was enough for me to judge your sword path and launch a counterattack.

King Jing tried many times, but Jiang Qingzhi simply jumped up and swung his sword himself, leaving him to observe and counterattack.

After many tests, King Jing was convinced.

At this moment, I saw the leader of the Japanese pirates leap up and slash with a knife.

The power made Chen Zheng and others who had been watching him exclaim in surprise.

"not good!"

Lin Xi looked at Jiang Qingzhi, and found that the new boss looked calm and composed. He even had time to take a puff of medicinal cigarette and exhaled the smoke comfortably.

Turning around, Lin Xi saw King Jing dodging and swinging his sword in one smooth motion.

The leader of the Japanese pirates!

Land!

He staggered forward a few steps and knelt on one knee.

He groaned, his cheeks trembling. "Young man, tell me...your name."

King Jing put his sword on the soldier's neck and said, "I am Zhu Zaizhen."
