Chapter 523: Hurricane
Zhao Feijun continued: "The head of the traitor has now been retrieved from the army, and it has been verified to be correct. ”
Zhu Linmiao nodded, "The sky net is restored, and the great evil will not end well." Punishing this national thief can also talk about comforting the soul of the Ming Dynasty who died because of him. ”
As the two were talking, they heard that someone outside the house was stopped by Shi Lin, "Your Highness is about to rest, and you will ...... in two hours."
"General Shi, it's good news! When Tu Dajie! ”
"This ......," Shi Lin said helplessly, "Since it is a great victory, I will go to the court." ”
Hong Chengchou's matter was over, and Zhao Feijun saw that someone else was coming, so he bowed down and retired. Subsequently, a messenger officer followed Shi Lin into the house and saluted excitedly: "Report!" My lord, when Tu is victorious!
"General Zhu decided to set up an ambush north of Dangtu according to the previous staff meeting. The defeated soldiers of the captive Yang Chengzu and Guan Xiaozhong's subordinates really went south to Jianyang, and the troops marched in a hurry and defenseless along the way. General Zhu suddenly struck out from three sides, and the enemy army was immediately routed! ”
The messenger said and took out the Tang newspaper and submitted it, "General Zhu led the army to chase all the way to the east of Jianyang, and captured more than 15,000 thieves. He paused slightly, and then said, "It's just that Guan Xiaozhong continued to the south with two thousand thieves and fled into Wuhu City." General Zhu was worried that it should not go too deep, so he did not chase after him. ”
The strategy set before the attack on Nanjing, the siege of Sanque and the first really worked! Zhu Linmiao was also very pleased, after cleaning up Yang Chengzu and Guan Zhi's loyal people, the main force of the Qing army in the original Nanjing City was basically cleared, and the surrounding area of Nanjing was safe.
In this battle, the Zhu family only led more than 6,000 people to carry out an ambush, and it was indeed difficult to annihilate all 20,000 enemy troops, and it was not easy to escape only more than 2,000 people.
He then instructed the herald: "Brother Zhu fought a good battle!" Let him lead his troops back to Nanjing to rest.
"As for fleeing the enemy, Chen Bangyan's Western Route Army arrived forty miles south of Wuhu yesterday and can be handed over to him for handling."
"Yes!"
Waiting for the good news to leave, Shi Lin was just about to persuade His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King to rest, when another officer arrived, but this time it was an urgent military situation. He couldn't stop it, and seeing that the sky was already bright, he simply turned around and ordered someone to prepare His Highness's breakfast.
"Storm?!" Zhu Linmiao stood up abruptly when she heard this, and said hurriedly, "What the hell is going on?!" ”
The officer motioned behind him, and a soldier in sailor's costume hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Back to Your Highness, the little one is the fire captain of the 'Guo Ziyi'." Admiral Zhu led the main force of the naval division to set up an ambush north of Langjiasha in the Yellow Sea, and three days ago, the Jiannu warship of the brigade sailed in, and when the two armies were about to fight, suddenly the sea was stormy, the waves were several feet high, and the momentum was terrifying.
"The small one is Guo Ziyi, and the main force of the sailor is to the east to avoid the wind and waves."
Zhu Linmiao immediately asked, "What about the loss?!" ”
The fire chief said with a worried expression: "When the little one last saw the sailor brigade, two warships of less than 100 tons had been overturned by the gale, and the Jianchang was also seriously damaged.
"It's Guo Ziyi, although it was blown to the shore of Chongming, but it still suffered more than half of the casualties, and the little one is now the highest-ranking person on the ship......"
There was such a violent storm! Zhu Linmiao couldn't help but lament that the wooden sailing ships of the 17th century were not as good as the steam ships of later generations, and their ability to resist wind and waves was very average, especially the small-tonnage sailing ships, and it could even be said that life and death in the event of a hurricane depended on heaven. During Zheng Chenggong's first Northern Expedition in history, it was because of a storm that almost wiped out the entire army.
I hope that this time the sailor will shine brightly, otherwise this casualty will ...... Thinking of this, he hurriedly instructed the herald: "Order Luo Mingshou to divide some of the warships and quickly search and rescue the ships in distress in the direction of the Yellow Sea." ”
Fortunately, the Daming Navy Division is currently using the Galen warship of more than 300 tons as the main force, and it can still carry some wind and waves a little, if it is the old Navy Division, it is likely to be another total annihilation.
"Yes!"
The herald left, and Zhu Linmiao asked Guo Ziyi's fire chief again: "Do you know the situation on the Jianyu Sailor side?" ”
"Back to His Highness, the moment I saw the wind coming, seventy or eighty captive ships capsized, and what happened after that is unknown."
Zhu Linmiao nodded slightly, most of the three hundred warships of the Qing army's naval division went south were small junk ships, although they had a watertight cabin structure and the hull was not easy to damage, but it was easy to be overturned by the waves.
The opportunity to ambush in the Yellow Sea this time was very rare, and it was very likely that the Capture Water Division would be recreated, but he didn't want to be disturbed by a storm.
However, after this incident, Zheng Zhilong's warship will inevitably have to return north to rest, and there is no need to worry about its southward attack on the Yangtze River for the time being. Strategically acceptable, it is also an acceptable outcome.
The current situation, time is on the side of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, Zhu Linmiao frowned slightly, under the same time, the warships built by the two shipyards in Yongbeili and Nan'an will be far stronger than the combat effectiveness built by Jianyu.
What's more, after taking Nanjing, Daming also owned the largest shipyard in East Asia - Longjiang Shipyard, which is the origin of Zheng He's treasure ship, that is to say, it was once able to build a giant fortune ship of nearly 2,000 tons!
Although the construction capacity of Longjiang Shipyard has dropped significantly after a long period of sea closure, there are still a large number of shipwrights and supporting facilities here. Zhu Linmiao believes that as long as a series of technological transformations and enough silver taels are invested, Longjiang Shipyard will be able to recover or even surpass its former glory.
It seems that there will be a ship-building competition with Jianyu in the future, but Da Ming obviously has the chance to win. Zhu Linmiao said secretly, it's just that the next time he meets Zheng Zhilong's fleet, it will definitely be a shocking battle that can go down in history!
……
Mu Zhiqing lifted the curtain of the car and looked around, and asked, "Where have we been?" ”
"Second Miss Hui," Yale hurriedly came over, "Fifty miles ahead is Jiashan." ”
Jiashan is between Jiaxing and Pinghu, which has long been recovered by Zhang Huangyan, and it is a very safe location. Mu Zhiqing nodded slightly, seeing that the terrain was flat and there was a stream passing by, she was about to order the team to rest for a while, but suddenly heard the warning whistle.
The Dragon Guard's own soldiers quickly surrounded her chariot, and Yale led twenty or thirty horsemen to rush in the direction from which the sound came. Then there was another shouting and shouting, and in a short time he returned with three men in armor and bows.
"Ask what it's for."
As soon as Mu Zhiqing's words fell, she heard a Naxi guard exclaim, "They committed suicide by taking poison!" ”
After another moment, Yale showed Mu Zhiqing the more unique things on those people, and the latter couldn't help frowning slightly, "Look at these armors, bows and arrows, talismans and other things, most of them are Jianyu elite Bayara." ”
Yale hurriedly said: "Second Miss, since there are Dongyu in this vicinity, it is safer for us to take a detour." ”
Mu Zhiqing lowered her head and pondered: "Yesterday we met the headquarters of General Tie Dake, and he said that he was chasing the main force of Luckedhun. At present, there is only this team of Jianzhou soldiers in the Nanzhili area, but where did these three people come from? ”
