Section 81 Hong Xiguan sent an envoy to the army
In the previous preparations, because Yu Zhihao's battle plan showed a great chance of victory, Zhu Yifeng did not plan to go to the battlefield in person at the beginning, but Yu Zhihao took the lead, and when the battle was almost complete (the victory was already won), he crossed the sea to pick peaches.
But seeing that Yu Zhihao seemed a little inappropriate, Zhu Yifeng changed his mind, and he asked the superintendent to go.
After all, the black gauze hat on his head is tied to this battle, and if he wins, he can return to Beijing and enter the cabinet, and if he loses, he will play everything, and he can't easily entrust his future to unreliable people.
After sacrificing to the god of the sea, Yu Zhihao waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
The officers and men of the naval division rushed to their respective warships, untied the cables and set sail.
One ship after another started, the blue sky, seagulls flying, and the vast sea was full of sails.
It was a beautiful day, the sea was calm and there were no waves, the boat was going smoothly, and there was no battle, so Yu Zhihao gradually relaxed his heart and laughed from time to time.
For lunch and dinner, Yu Shihao invited the governor to eat hot rice, steamed fish, and salted meat cakes, and all the ships made fires to make rice, and all of them had melons and vegetables to eat!
It's very good, and so is Yan Changwu's fleet.
Having a hot meal while sailing was a happy thing, and it had a great effect on the physical strength and morale of the sailors.
"What about down there?"
Yan Changwu's fleet has biscuits, dried meat, and dried fish, but the Daming Sailor has none!
That is to say, the supply of the Daming Water Division is at most three days (limited by fresh water), and it will no longer be able to sail far!
The Daming Sailor is a cup, the ship is small, the supply is weak, and it cannot go to the sea.
At nightfall, the southwest wind blew steadily, and the formation was normal.
The lights on the ship are bright, reflecting the sea, and there are many boats, and the sea surface is bright, which makes the participants heroic and heroic.
In particular, the flagship of the forward formation was a Chinese military ship, and its mast was hung with lights, shining brightly, leading the troops forward.
Suddenly, the Chinese military ship launched a rocket, and three rockets rose at night, bringing out a colorful trajectory in the air, which was particularly obvious.
Yu Zhihao and Zhu Yifeng, who were in the central formation, were both alarmed and hurriedly went out of the cabin to observe, and Yu Zhihao told Governor Zhu: "This is the discovery of an enemy ship!" ”
Soon after, the speedboat came to report that the clipper was watching on the periphery, and in a hurry, the other party pulled the sail and ran away!
"Boats in the middle of the night, mostly night fishing boats, there are no nets on their boats, they must be ships from the southeast province!" Yu Shihao explained.
He was right, the one who came was a dhow clipper, with a streamlined hull, although small, but the sails were powerful, and it flew so fast on the sea that the Daming sailors could not do anything to catch up.
Zhu Yifeng said in a deep voice: "In this way, the Southeast Mansion will soon know?" ”
"Exactly!" However, Yu Zhihao said very calmly: "However, above the sea, it is not easy to intercept, and they are waiting for us in the Penghu area at most." ”
Facts proved that he was right, after more than 30 hours of sailing, the Fujian naval division arrived at the Penghu Islands, did not encounter interception, first arrived at Babaoyu, and then stationed in Penghu Bay for berthing, planning to rest that night, ready to set sail.
The Penghu Islands are composed of about 64 islands of different sizes, and 20 islands are inhabited, of which Penghu Island is the largest, followed by Xiyu and Baisha Township. The land area is hundreds of square kilometers.
The flag of the Penghu Inspection Division is still there!
Zhu Yifeng was overjoyed and said: "The southeast province does not occupy Penghu, and our army is victorious!" ”
When they arrived at Penghu Bay, the officers and soldiers of the naval division went ashore to replenish fresh water, but there were already young people waiting, declaring that it was Hong Xiguan of the Southeast Prefecture who came to envoy the Daming Naval Division.
The officers and soldiers hugged him to the handsome boat, and Zhu Yifeng saw that although this young man was dark and thin, he was very capable, and his eyes were bright, and the governor's heart was secretly surprised.
In front of the governor and the chief soldier, Hong Xiguan said eloquently: "Taiwan is a terra nullius, occupied by the Dutch, and we are the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"My southeastern province has won Taiwan, concentrated on cultivating the land, does not intrude on the mainland, and does not attack and kill officers and soldiers, and loot the people, but my southeast government Yan Dalongtou knows that the two sides of the strait are born from the same root, how can they fry each other, make the enemy painful, and the enemy is happy!"
"Water and fire are ruthless, swords and soldiers together, unpredictable, blood is thicker than water, my southeast mansion Yan Dalongtou is willing to fall into the identity, I implore the adults to strike the army, will welcome the Daming Navy Division to set sail, and the labor army materials will be sent to the left (Xiamen)!"
These words were carefully planned by the Southeast Mansion, and Hong Xiguan came to parrot, he hugged his fists and saluted, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhu Yifeng reprimanded: "Those who are the people should keep their duties, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, only the imperial army can move troops, how can you come nonsense!" ”
"What do you say about concentrating on plowing the land, what are you waiting for the gunboats for? said that the mainland would not be invaded, and a few months ago, outside the center and left in public, it was the imperial court officials who were killed! ”
He said with a gloomy face: "Killing officials and rebelling is a capital crime of punishing the nine clans, you know that blood is thicker than water, and you will be bound quickly, or you can be blessed with the grace of heaven and avoid the death penalty, but you must seize the opportunity, otherwise, as soon as our army and ships arrive, how can you resist the heavenly soldiers, and you will definitely die!" ”
Hong Xiguan laughed and said: "The Tao is not the same, I will not wait for the sea to attack, not to intercept, but also to advise, I hope that the two sides of the strait will not raise a war, you don't listen, we have been benevolent and righteous, then tomorrow we will see you on the sea!" ”
"Farewell!" Hong Xiguan said loudly.
Yu Zhihao stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's up to you to come, it's not up to you to go, look at your appearance, you should be a person with a head and a face in the southeast (the official army does not recognize the southeast mansion), catch you, you can cut off your face and an arm!" ”
"I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, Hong Xiguan is also, deputy of the Second Marine Regiment of Southeast Prefecture, and the son of Hong Sheng, COO of the Military Aircraft Department of Southeast Prefecture!"
COO, Chief Operating Officer, is equivalent to Managing General Manager.
The official system of this southeastern province is very strange, and the military aircraft department is set up, and the chief is called CEO, that is, the chief executive officer, which is Chen Xinji.
In addition to the CEO and COO, what other CFOs, the chief financial officer, in charge of finance, are young Chen Hebin, and the CTO, called the chief technology officer, is the Dutch Barents, who is mainly in charge of shipbuilding, is the Big Four, plus a big leader, and forms the decision-making center of the Southeast Province.
As an enemy chieftain, Hong Sheng's name is known to the high-level officials and soldiers, and now Hong Xiguan reports to his home, and the generals can't help but be surprised and happy when they can't think of catching a big fish before the war starts.
Seeing many unkind eyes, Hong Xiguan said proudly: "Those who come are not afraid, and those who are afraid will not come!" I recommend the Taiwan Strait with my blood, frown, I am not Hongsheng's son! ”
"Those who come are not afraid, and those who are afraid do not come! I recommend the Taiwan Strait with my blood! Zhu Yifeng was moved and said: "The two armies are fighting, don't kill them, you go back!" ”
Hong Xiguan said loudly: "Let me go today, there will be a reward, my southeast mansion will not kill you Fujian sailors, and none of them will be killed!" Let's go! ”
