The panic on Gong Yu's face did not escape Zhang Wuji's eyes. Similarly, even Zhao Min saw some clues.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji simply hugged Gong Yu in his arms and said: "Yu'er, don't be anxious, don't panic, I believe you."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "That's right, why are you panicking? We who know nothing about naval battles are not panicking. What are you panicking about? In a few years, the naval battle with the Japanese will be your time to shine. At that time, it will be a grand scene with hundreds of warships fighting. If you can't even get through this hurdle, then how can you be entrusted with the command of the naval battle in a few years that will determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty?"
Yu Fei also said: "Sister Gong, don't panic. Let me say something unpleasant. Even if we encounter an accident, it is the accident we encounter with the young master. Even if we die, there is nothing to regret. Anyway, I, Yu Fei, am content to be able to walk with the young master until today in this life."
"Moreover, this is the worst-case scenario. I don't believe that there will be any accidents on our first trip to the sea. Just do it boldly. Even if you don't do well, no one will say no."
…
I have to say that the encouragement and trust from the people around her really gave Gong Yu great confidence.
She took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I understand."
"Actually, I'm not afraid. I'm just worried about your Majesty's safety."
…
Gong Yu has recovered.
Immediately afterwards, she gave the same order as Nanyun Zhonger, which was to speed up. Not only will the brave win when two meet on a narrow road, but also in this turbulent sea, the brave will win when two meet on a narrow road.
Looking at Gong Yu's current condition, Zhang Wuji felt very relieved, but Zhao Min was a little confused.
She said to Gong Gongyu, "Hey, is there no way to fight a naval battle?"
"Even if the enemy's ship is smaller than ours, if we really collide with it, I'm afraid both sides will be wiped out, right?"
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Of course we won't crash into it. If we choose to crash into it, the only consequence is that we will die."
"At this moment, we are too far away from the enemy's large ships. We can't hit them with either artillery or arrows. Therefore, the key to naval battle is for the ships of both armies to be very close."
"It's just like when the infantry fights, if the two armies don't engage in close combat, how can we tell who wins or who loses?"
…
A quarter of an hour later, the two large ships were gradually approaching each other.
Standing on the top deck, Gong Yu looked towards the other ship again.
At this moment, the big flag on the deck of the big ship in the distance was already faintly visible.
Not only Gong Yu was certain of his guess, but everyone else was also certain of his guess.
Zhu'er said with a smile: "The Japanese flag is so strange, it looks like a plaster."
Zhu'er's casual remark instantly made everyone present burst into laughter.
After laughing a few times, Zhao Min said, "I know a little about this. The Japanese national flag was given to them by Wu Zetian."
Zhu'er said: "Are you serious? How did you know?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Because I have wanted to be Wu Zetian since I was a child, I have studied her quite thoroughly."
"Wu Zetian not only gave the Japanese a national flag, but also gave them the name of their country. However, I guess you don't know this name."
Zhu'er said: "What's there to not know? Isn't it just Japan?"
Zhao Min smiled and shook her head: "It's not Dongying. The word Dongying appeared in the pre-Qin period. At that time, there were many people who were interested in cultivating immortals. They just heard that there was a big island in the distance where immortals might live. Therefore, the people of the pre-Qin period named those islands Dongying."
"Later, when the group of people who wanted to cultivate immortality discovered that there were no immortals on the island, they changed the name of the place to Fusang."
"You can tell from the name how disappointed they were at the time."
Zhang Wuji glanced at Zhao Min and said: "Min'er, you know a lot. It was not until the reign of Wu Zetian, the powerful Wu Meiniang, that she officially named them Japan."
Zhao Min was stunned for a moment: "You also know about this?"
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Why shouldn't I know? You are the emperor, I am also the emperor, and I am still your man. It's no big deal if I know more, right?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "It's really no big deal, but I underestimated you. I thought you were just lucky enough to pick up a lustful man in the world. I didn't expect that you actually knew something."
…
At this moment, Gong Yu admired Zhang Wuji and the other women around her very much. It was already a critical moment, but they didn't care at all, as if it had nothing to do with them.
However, it was precisely because of this that Gong Yu's heart felt a little more at peace.
The most taboo thing when leading troops in battle is someone who pretends to know everything and gives blind orders.
However, Zhang Wuji and many sisters present had such an indifferent attitude, which actually gave Gong Yu great trust.
After calming himself down again, Gong Yu ordered Yang Xiao, "General Yang, immediately concentrate all the cannons on our ship on the right side, and then tell the sailors to turn the ship sideways."
"When I raise the red flag in my hand, you all fire together."
"quick".
Looking at Gong Yu's serious expression, Yang Xiao naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
It looked like the two large ships were less than two nautical miles apart.
However, at this moment, the big ship that Zhang Wuji was on suddenly turned sideways at such a fast speed that even Nanyun Zhonger, who was very experienced in naval battles, was unable to react.
"Baga, what do they mean?"
Nan Yunzhong was extremely confused.
However, he was also very happy.
"Well, the bow of my Japanese ship is the strongest, and it is also covered with iron sheets."
"If our bow hits their hull directly, it might break them in half."
"Hurry up, speed up, press the machine..."
Nanyun Chuuji seems to be on the verge of victory.
The two warships were getting closer and closer. On the surface, the Ming warships no longer had any advantage.
Zhang Wuji didn't say anything, but in fact, he was already extremely nervous.
This kind of nervousness does not mean distrust of Gong Yu, but is simply nervousness.
Not only Zhang Wuji, but also Zhao Min and the others were the same. However, they did not say a word. They might not trust Gong Yu, but if they asked themselves, they had no other choice, because compared with Gong Yu, they were even more idiots in water battles.
