Zhang Jiayu recalled a little and continued: "At the beginning, Haoge suddenly returned to the east, and publicly exposed the fact that Dolgon and Zhang Xianzhong negotiated peace, and wanted to cede Sichuan to Xiankou, and pulled out all kinds of unbearable things that Dolgon bowed to the Khalkha Department in Mobei. With the support of the Borzigit clan, Dolgon was able to reluctantly quell the dissent and retain his authority.

Shortly thereafter, the Dongyu Imperial Court heard that Haoge's deputy general Luo Luohun had reported the victory and deceived his superiors and subordinates, and his troops had lost nearly 20,000 horses in northern Sichuan, and had been forced to Hanzhong Pass by the army of the Loyal Marquis. Dolgon seized on this and reversed his previous decline in one fell swoop, and wanted to seize Hauge's military power and imprison him. Later, because of the strong opposition of Dai Daishan and Jilharang, he had no choice but to give up.

"Now Hauge has conspired with thieves and many puppet kings to spread public opinion, and he is quite a threat to Dorgon."

Zhu Linwei then looked at him and said, "According to what Yuanzi saw, what should Dolgon do in the future?" ”

Zhang Jiayu pondered: "Since Gon Yunei can't win Hauge, then he will do his best to fight with me, in order to stabilize the court with the victory of the two white flags." ”

"Yuanzi is really accurate." Zhu Linmiao nodded and praised, "A while ago, there were also reports from Beizhen from Beijing, although there were also some clues about Dorgon's troop transfer, but they have not been detailed.

"Yesterday, the Koreans in Delai Prefecture played secretly, Zheng Zhilong has not only frequently practiced the rapid advance of the whole team of warships and the change of battle formations, but also the grain and grass from Shandong and Beizhili have been continuously transported to Laizhou to start loading. As I expected, Dolgon ordered Zheng Zhilong to attack the mouth of the Yangtze River before the depths of winter, and cooperate with Duoduo and Wu Sangui's troops to invade the south. ”

Zhang Jiayu was a little surprised and said: "In this way, Wu Sangui repeatedly raided and plundered Chuzhou and Hezhou before, just to lead me to the west for reinforcements, so as to raid Yingtianfu while I was dividing my troops." ”

"Under Hauge's constant persecution, Dorgon has had to take a desperate gamble."

Zhu Linmiao was halfway through speaking, and a guard said outside the cabin: "My lord, Master Shi Langshi, the sailor, led the warship to greet him." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the deck and wait for the Lord."

Zhu Linmiao beckoned Zhang Jiayu out of the cabin together, and said as she walked: "In fact, what worries me the most is not the movement on Jianyu's side. ”

He turned his head and glanced to the southeast, "Last month, Jinyi Weinan Town captured a scum who colluded with the Helan people in the Yongbeili Shipyard, and then dug up a large intelligence network of the Helan people in Fujing. Among them, there was a person who had lived in Quanzhou for several years as a missionary, and was actually an intelligence officer of the Hongyi East India Company, and his rank was not low.

"Nanzhen found a lot of information about the newly built warships of the Ming Dynasty in this person's residence, which shows that Hongyi has been extremely vigilant against our sailors. Zheng Guangying carefully examined the Nayi people, and although he did not get much, he mentioned that the Horan people knew about the landing of our sailors in New Guinea and the fact that the Department of Commerce and Commerce had sent ships to Australia to explore. ”

Seeing Zhang Jiayu's confused face, he explained with a smile: "This development of colonies and maritime trade has yielded extremely rich profits, especially the Helan people, who rely on it as the basis of national taxation. Their ship has explored Australian soil in recent years, and it seems that it has also been named 'New Helan', and is planning to land. Now we are also going to Australia, which will inevitably touch their interests.

"During this time, the Eziba people have been avoiding the edge of Helan, and the merchant ships even detoured westward to Daming in order to avoid the Helan warships. The Helan people also gradually realized that the Luzon side had no intention of being hostile to them.

In fact, Hongyi had withdrawn most of the warships sent to demonstrate north of Luzon. It is not yet known where these ships are going, but if Hongyi cooperates with Zheng Zhilong to flank our sailors when he goes south, it will be a dangerous situation that has to be worried. ”

Zhang Jiayu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "I have heard that Hongyi's boat is very good, and my sailor has been struggling to deal with Zheng thieves, if Hongyi is added, I'm afraid it will really be ......."

As they spoke, they had gone to the foredeck, and saw that the warship they were on had anchored and stopped, and not far away were five or six centipede clippers—there was no way, the Yangtze River was going upstream, and the speed of the other big ships was really unbearable.

After a while, Shi Lang drove a traffic boat and stuck to the Quang Nam, and climbed the rope ladder to the bow of the ship with his hands and feet. He saw that the Auxiliary King was already waiting for him surrounded by his own soldiers, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The last general will meet His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King." ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "Why did you come here suddenly?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the newly built 'Zhangzhou' and 'Ji'an' and other five warships just came from Fujing a few days ago, and Admiral Zhu is leading these new ships day and night to familiarize themselves with the battle formation. In addition, there are many new sailors on the Guang Signal that returned from the restoration last month, and the Admiral is really inseparable, so the last general will come to greet His Highness. ”

"Now it's time to step up the practice, but let you, the sailor general, come to do the errand of ushering in the send," Zhu Linmiao put away his smile and said angrily, "I have to talk about Da Mu well." ”

Shi Lang hurriedly said: "Lord Admiral is also to ensure that His Highness is thorough. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look back at the few small boats he had brought, which together were not large enough for His Highness's boat, and grinned a little awkwardly.

"Forget it, it's good if you're here." Zhu Linmiao motioned for him to return to the cabin together, and then asked, "Have the Zhangzhou and Ji'an arrived in Chongming?" Will these two ships be able to go to war now? ”

He already knew from the report of the Ministry of War a few days ago that the two newly built warships of Yongbeili and Nan'an Shipyard had already gone north, but he did not expect the speed to be so fast. The two ships were the 470-ton and 300-ton Galen warships, the former slightly shortened the keel to speed up the progress, but the impact was not great, only two nine-pounder guns were missing. The other three ships are all small frigates of more than 100 tons.

"Back to Your Highness, although most of the recruits on the ship are recruits from the Sailor Academy, there are also many veterans on the Jianchang, and there is no problem in operating the ship. It's just that in terms of battle line coordination, it will take some time to get acquainted with other warships. ”

"Okay." Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "But this actual combat drill must be faster, and there may be a tough battle to be fought in the next few days." ”

Shi Lang said excitedly when he heard this: "Your Highness, rest assured! The last time there was a sudden gale, the Zheng thief ran away. At present, everyone in the sailor is gearing up, looking forward to a showdown with the thief!

"I wonder when His Highness wants me to pull the anchor and where to kill the enemy?"
