Haiyan Seaside, the coastline of Haiyan at that time was still very different from now, and the coastline of that year extended more than ten kilometers inland compared to the current one. Most of the seaside in the Haiyan area is mudflats, and several small rivers flow into the sea from the shore, and when the tide is low, the rivers are basically empty, and after the tide rises, the rivers are also full.

On the high point of the stage, Wang Xinyu and Zheng Cong stood side by side on the stage, looking around the stage.

Under the platform, there was a circle of more than 500 people, among which there were more than 100 yellow-haired and white-skinned, tall and sturdy white musketeers, who were particularly eye-catching, these musketeers were wearing cotton armor, and they were also wearing rattan armor on the outside, and they wore the six-petal Mingguang armor of the Ming army, and each of them had a flintlock pistol diagonally on their bodies, and they also carried a large axe on their backs.

These white soldiers were Russian musketeers brought back from the north, and in addition to the more than 20 people captured by Wang Xinyu in the first batch, Zheng Xi sent back more than 80 prisoners one after another.

Originally, Wang Xinyu planned to arrange the Russian musketeers to the mercenary camp in Tianlei Town, but who knew that whether it was the English, the Portuguese, or the Spaniards, they would not accept these Russians. According to them, the Slavs are not at all the same kind as them, the Slavs are barbaric nomads, and they are not qualified to stand with the noble Europeans at all!

In desperation, Wang Xinyu had no choice but to integrate the Russian musketeers into his own personal team.

To be honest, Wang Xinyu is still very fond of Russian musketeers, these Maozi people are tall and strong, and they look as strong as Siberian brown bears, whether it is long-range shooting or hand-to-hand combat, they are first-class players.

The Russian musketeers, like Wang Xinyu's other personal soldiers, were made of horses, but the Russian musketeers were a kind of dragoons, riding and maneuvering, dismounting and fighting, unlike other personal soldiers who were real cavalry.

Under the stage, the first batch of 10,000 elite troops stood densely. The team under the stage was neat and majestic, with solemn faces, each carrying weapons, and the military appearance was solemn. Each soldier was clothed in fine armor and armed with a fine weapon. Among the more than 10,000 elite soldiers, there were 5,000 flintlock musketeers, 2,000 gunners, 1,000 gunners, 2,000 hand-to-hand soldiers, plus 500 pro-soldiers.

Not far from the sea, large transport ships are parked. There are small boats parked in the middle of the river, usually after the low tide, the small boats run aground, and after the high tide, the small boats float on the water.

The Ming fleet left in Jiangnan, except for more than 20 Western-style river gunboats that were transported back from Burma for a long time, the rest of the ships were all Chinese-style warships, and all the Western-style naval warships had been taken away by Albert and went to the Strait of Malacca. The Western-style warships of the Nanyang Navy were to stop the Dutch fleet in the Strait of Malacca, with the cooperation of batteries. If the battle is defeated, the Ming army will lose its navy for a long time, and the situation will be very passive if it has to shift from strategic offensive to strategic defense.

Before Albert set off, Wang Xinyu knew very well that once the navy was defeated, the communication between his several islands would be completely interrupted, and the Jiangnan that relied on water transportation would be difficult to keep, and Qiongzhou and Dongfan would be lost, and then only the Zhejiang army, Fujian and Jiangxi would be left to fight with the Qing army, then everything would return to the original point, and the Qing army could only fight mountain guerrilla warfare.

As for whether the navy can be defeated, to be honest, Wang Xinyu is not too sure in his heart, so he must open up his territory as much as possible within this year, just in case the navy is defeated, he still has space on land to deal with the Qing army.

This is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Kangxi, and it is also the seventeenth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of the Yongli calendar.

"It's almost ebbing!" There was a long shout from someone on the beach.

The procession stood in line on the beach and waited, it was now high tide, and when the tide was low, the soldiers would board the boats, and then go down the low tide to the surface of the sea, and then change to the big boats to cross the sea.

Seeing that the tide had risen to the highest point, Wang Xinyu turned around and nodded slightly to the soldiers behind him.

"Wave the flag! Beat the drums! Whoop! One of the soldiers yelled.

The flags were unfurled, the war drums were rumbling, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience shouted in unison: "Tiger! ”

Rank and file officers at all levels walked out of the queue and stood in front of their respective ranks and shouted, "Stand up! ”

Tens of thousands of people shouted "tiger" and stomped on the ground with their right foot, and the entire coast shook.

"Turn left! Board the ship! Rank and file officers at all levels roared.

The team all turned left and trotted in unison, and the movements of tens of thousands of people were coordinated, like one person, and the voice was neat. The team formed two columns and trotted in unison along the path in the direction of the boat, and the officers ran along the side of the line.

"Board the ship! Board the ship! By the river, the sailors and soldiers shouted and greeted the Lu brothers to board the boat.

The tide had begun to recede, and the soldiers boarded the boats, and the officers and men of the sailors rowed their boats, following the tide and the current of the river, to the sea at the mouth of the river. The small boat enters the sea and slowly approaches the large ship moored in the sea.

The boat came to a stop near the big boat and threw a net from the big boat to cover one side of the boat. The soldiers grabbed the nets and struggled to climb the ship.

After all the soldiers had boarded the ship, the fleet set off and headed for Ningbo on the opposite bank.

In the flagship command cabin, Wang Xinyu and Zheng Cong sat at the table, gesturing the map. Through the information of the intelligence department, the situation of the Qing army in Ningbo has been learned. Chen Yonghua stood aside and introduced the situation in Ningbo.

After the Qing court lost Hangzhou, it regarded Ningbo as the location of the yamen of the governor of the Zhejiang army. Originally, the governor of Zhejiang should have been Jiang Guozhu's, but due to Jiang Guozhu's disastrous defeat in Jiangnan, he was transferred to Anqing by the Qing court and arranged to be under Aobai. The governor of the Zhejiang army transferred by the Qing court is the famous Fan Chengmo!

Who is Fan Chengmo? It is the son of the famous Han Jian Fan Wencheng!

The son inherits his father's business, his father is a big Han jian, and his son Fan Chengmo is naturally also a hardcore Han jian!

In real history, Fan Chengmo, who served as the governor of Zhejiang, was later killed by Geng Jingzhong because he refused to surrender to Geng Jingzhong during the Three Feudatories Rebellion. Although the Han Jian Fan Wencheng did not get the punishment he deserved, the father and son repaid the debt, and Fan Wencheng used his son's blood to repay the blood debt he owed to the Han people.

"Since Fan Chengmo came to Ningbo, he has been on guard against us attacking Ningbo. This traitor built a strong city in Ningbo, and set up a large number of barrages and underwater piles at the mouth of the Yongjiang River. It is to prevent us from entering from the Yongjiang River. But the lowly Heaven and Earth Society has already begun to act! Tomorrow, before the fleet arrives at the mouth of the Yongjiang River, the barrage will be removed and the channel will be explored. When we enter the Yongjiang River, we only need to blast the remaining underwater piles with mines! Chen Yonghua pointed to the map.

"Fan Chengmo, this dog [Han Jian!] Lao Tzu invaded Ningbo this time, and he must not be allowed to escape! Give me an order, whoever can capture Fan Chengmo alive, or cut off his head, will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver! Promoted to three levels! Wang Xinyu angrily slammed the table and yelled.

"Promoted to three levels? If the general soldier beheaded Fan Chengmo, then ......" Zheng Cong looked at Wang Xinyu with his mouth wide open. If the general soldier of the second grade is promoted to the third level, wouldn't it be superb?

"Those below the adjutant general beheaded Fan Chengmo and was promoted to three ranks; The general soldier and above beheaded Fan Chengmo and was promoted to the rank of commander. Wang Xinyu corrected his mistake.

Chen Yonghua continued: "The puppet imperial court Ning Shaodao and the puppet Dao Taitian Xiong are not easy to deal with, this person is both civil and martial, and has defeated Mr. Cangshui many times. There are also Tartar pseudo-Ninghai general Yierde, and the general soldier Zhang Jie, all of whom are Tartar generals. ”

Wang Xinyu gently tapped the map on the table: "We have been carefully preparing for nearly a year, and if this net is cast, none of these big fish can let them slip away!" It must be all covered! Even if Fan Chengmo wants to surrender, he can't accept his surrender! Other Tartar generals were acceptable if they were willing to surrender after being captured. ”

"That's right! Father's debt is repaid by the son! You must not let Fan Chengmo go! Zheng Cong said.

The sky was getting darker, and night was over the sea. The flotilla sailed in the moonlight, splitting the waves and heading south at a speed of six knots. It is expected that tomorrow morning, you will arrive at the mouth of the Yongjiang River.

At the mouth of the Yongjiang River, several black shadows appeared outside a barracks of the Qing army.

This barracks was the location of the Qing army's watchtower, which was used to monitor the movements of the Ming army on the sea. On weekdays, more than 100 green battalion Qing soldiers are stationed here, and there are 100 Qing soldiers who have not eaten empty salaries. Fan Chengmo attached great importance to the threat from the other side, and strictly enforced military discipline in Ningbo, making the officers of the Green Battalion here miserable.

Fan Chengmo banned the resale of cigarettes and the resale of special offerings of the Eight Banners, let alone human trafficking, and because of the sea ban, there are no businessmen who can extort money, so where else can the officers of the Green Battalion make money? That pitiful military salary, it's not enough to draw special offerings for them to draw eight flags!

Fan Chengmo inherited his father's "fine tradition" and was very strict with his subordinates, he was a Qing official for the Qing Dynasty, but for the Han people, he was the most vicious enemy!

Although there was no empty salary, because it was the Spring Festival, just after the Lantern Festival, many Qing soldiers had not returned at home, and there were only more than 50 people in this kind of barracks.

Several black shadows sprang out of the night, and pounced on the Qing army barracks with agility like a civet. Outside the Qing army barracks, several black shadows lay on the ground, carefully observing the movements inside.

Although he had reconnoitred many times before, Tao Shiwen was still very cautious. He is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society who joined the Heaven and Earth Society after joining the Heaven and Earth Society, and he studied under a group of masters such as Cai Jiuyi and Miao Xian, and practiced a good skill. Later, he went to the Qiongzhou special combat team training camp and trained for more than a year.

Tao Shiwen saw that there was no abnormality, so he used gestures to tell his brothers: "There is nothing abnormal, enter!" ”

Sign language is something that special forces and agents must master. During the training camp in Qiongzhou, Zhu Qi conducted special sign language training for the special combat team, so that each of them could master sign language skills proficiently.

Zhu Qi is also a member of the Ming royal family, some people say that he was born deaf and dumb, and some people say that he pretended to be deaf and dumb. (To be continued.) )
