Chapter 980 The rainstorm that interrupted all plans to seek the moon
Hurry up, hurry up.
At this moment, He Shouyi was already extremely anxious.
Although the navy fleet had already driven the fastest speed, he still wanted to be faster.
There is no way. Now that the life and death of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince are uncertain, the possibility of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince a day earlier will be greater.
Those Japanese pirates were extremely vicious, and God knew what it meant to fall into their hands.
He Shouyi must arrive in Quanzhou as soon as possible!
"Go ahead, don't hesitate!"
But by chance, it seems that God is trying to make things difficult for him. The weather is not good, and suddenly there is a strong wind and lightning and thunder.
He Shouyi's heart immediately skipped a beat.
He walked along the southeast coast all year round and knew that this was a sign of the storm.
Could it be that the sea storm is really coming?
Oh my God, when will the storm come? It's just that I'm going to cause trouble?
He Shouyi was not a person who easily admitted his conscience, and even so, he did not give up easily.
"Let everyone be prepared to face the storm, but don't slow down the speed."
There is nothing that can stop the pace of the Ming Navy, even if it is a storm.
He Shouyi must arrive in Quanzhou as quickly as possible.

After killing and establishing his authority, Zheng Jing once stabilized the situation in Xiaolangyu.
The dozens of soldiers with heads were hung outside the gate to show their heads, and they could see them.
The moment I saw the head, I guess everyone would feel a slap in their hearts?
Zheng Jing had no choice but to do it, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
It seems that he should be tougher in the future.
People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.
If you want to have the right to speak, you cannot be too weak.
"Your Highness, it's raining. You can take a hiding place in the house."
Suddenly, heavy rain fell, and the tent was obviously not suitable for living. The personal soldiers suggested that Zheng Jing live in the house built by the Japanese pirates on the island to shelter from the rain.
Although Zheng Jing was very resistant at the beginning, he also knew that going to the house to shelter from the rain was the best choice.
He nodded and stood up and went.
The personal soldiers followed behind and kept pace with each other.
Although the situation on the island has been controlled to a certain extent, they still have to be very cautious in case someone suddenly jumps out and is unfavorable to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zheng Jing himself is relatively at ease.
Because he knew very well that no one would dare to fight him head-on in a short period of time.
But at this time, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of something. Therefore, the concerns of the personal soldiers still make some sense.
Zheng Jing didn't want to say anything more, but went with them.
Soon Zheng Jing arrived at the largest house on the island.
This room was originally lived in by Ichiro Inoue, the leader of the Japanese pirates. Now it is empty, so it is naturally the most suitable place for Zheng Jing to live there.
"Your Highness, I'll get some hot water for you."
The personal soldiers turned around and left, and only Zheng Jing was left in the room.
Zheng Jing couldn't help feeling very tired, and his tense body also softened.
I have to say that this trip to Xiaolangyu was a great challenge for him.
Originally, he thought that the Japanese pirates were just like this, but now it seems that he is really underestimating the enemy.
The Japanese pirates were not as weak as he thought, and the Ming army navy was not as strong as he thought.
There are many factors that affect the situation, such as weather factors.
If it encounters heavy rain, it will not be so smooth when attacking the island.
For example, if the Zheng family had been prepared to take advantage of other Japanese pirates, the current situation would not be so passive.
But this is the case now, and Zheng Jing could only bite the bullet and endure it.
Thinking about the situation when my father Zheng Chenggong raised an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty, the situation was thousands of times more dangerous than it is now. Didn’t you still survive it?
As Zheng Chenggong's eldest son, Zheng Jing has no reason to retreat at this time.
Although his ability is indeed not as good as Zheng Chenggong, he cannot perform too poorly.
"Your Highness, hot water is here. You can wash your face and soak your feet."
"Okay, I know, you can retreat first."
Zheng Jing did not have the habit of serving people, he was used to doing it himself.
After the personal soldiers withdrew, Zheng Jing first wiped his face, then took off his boots and put his feet into the bucket.
Very comfortable.
Zheng Jing's nerves have been very tense these days, and suddenly he felt very comfortable after soaking his feet and relaxing.
Of course, he also knew that this was just a adjustment, and he still had to return to a tight state after a proper rest.
The personal soldiers returned shortly after they left, which scared Zheng Jing.
"Your Highness, something is wrong."
"Hmm? What happened?"
Zheng Jingqiang pretended to be calm, and he must not show panic at this time.
"It was a high tide, a sudden heavy rain, and the tide in Shanghai was rising, and the camp next to the dock was flooded."
Zheng Jing felt a thud when he heard this.
The reason why I set up camp near the pier was that the Japanese pirates were still watching outside.
If the Japanese pirates suddenly attack, the Ming army camping near the dock can respond in time.
But if you set up camp a little further away, you may not be able to react immediately.
This behavior is logically fine.
But if it is bad, it is bad because the weather is not good.
A sudden heavy rain disrupted Zheng Jing's overall plan.
Now the entire plan must be adjusted accordingly.
"Your Highness, what should I do now?"
"What else can I do? Ask brothers to remove the tent and put it in a high place."
Although there is a great risk in doing this, because it is difficult to have any warning and reaction time when the Japanese pirates attack, but this is something that has to be done right now.
If you continue to stay in place, the sea and rain will flood the camp.
The personal soldiers immediately took the order and went there. Zheng Jing naturally didn't care about washing his feet anymore, so he put on a straw raincoat and hat and left the house.
He walked quickly towards the dock and saw many people dismantling the tents in a panic.
Zheng Jing shouted: "Don't panic, there is still time, time is enough. Everyone should work harder and remove the tent and carry it to a higher terrain."
Although Zheng Jing had ordered the decision to move the camp, he, who was extremely vigilant, decided to leave some people to warn him here.
Of course, you are standing in a safe area and ensuring that you will not be washed away by the flood.
He must always know whether the Japanese pirates will launch an attack.
Once the Japanese pirates launch an attack, Zheng Jing must respond immediately.
In fact, heavy rainstorms may not be a good thing for the Ming army.
Because the situation encountered by the Japanese pirates on the ship may not be better than that of the Ming army.
The possibility of Japanese pirates landing on the island in this case is not high unless the leader of the Japanese pirates is a lunatic.
Therefore, Zheng Jing’s main task next is to ensure that the food will not become moldy due to heavy rain, so that the Ming army will not lose food in the next few days.
