Chapter 586: The Crying Great Qing Kingdom

"Hahahaha......"

In Gao's gorgeous command room, Yilu carried the yellow coat rewarded by Daoguang, laughing like a clown's costume.

He was really amused by the Tatar emperor.

And his cousin Yilu sat aside, holding the golden seal of the English king that Daoguang gave to Victoria, and he really couldn't imagine how the Tatar emperor came up with this. In fact, it was more than that, because he was the de facto British envoy in China, and Daoguang also issued an additional order to summon him as a sign of favor, and he was also given a yellow coat, which the minister had just sent to him kindly reminded him that he must wear when he saw His Majesty the Emperor.

Well, he made up how he looked in this clown costume......

"Obviously we're going to have to execute Plan B!"

He said with a melancholy expression.

"No, no, at least not yet."

Yilu said.

"According to the information I have received, their defense in Dinghai is not weak, and there is a general there who even resisted the attack of the Ming fleet, which shows that there are still some real generals in the Tatar army, and we must be more prepared, at least until the next batch of reinforcements arrives, only 4,000 troops is still a little too little."

He went on to say.

"General, I just got the news that General Ge asked for leave and left Dinghai."

At this time, Charles hurriedly came in and said.

"Leave?"

Yilu was stunned for a moment.

"It's not just a leave, their word is called Ding Wei, it is said that General Ge's father died, and according to their Confucian regulations, the death of an official's parents must go home for a funeral, and to live next to the grave of his parents for a period of time, all officials must execute, otherwise it is unfilial, which is a very serious crime in them, and this period is usually three years, even if the emperor wants him to do anything during this period, it must be additionally a holy decree, and it cannot be a mandatory holy decree, He was specially invited to return to his post, so if there was no holy decree, this General Ge would not return to Dinghai for three years. ”

Charles said.

Yilu and Yilu looked at each other.

"Well, it seems that this is really God's will!"

Yilu threw the yellow coat to the ground and stepped on it, and then said with a smirk.

"Gone?"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

"Yes, God Emperor, all the British fleets left Humen, including their army on Hailing Island, and then the entire fleet sailed north, and the Dingyuan is tracking."

Zeng Tao said.

"Going north?"

Yang Feng showed a sneer.

He knew what the British were doing.

But this is not a bad thing for him, he just took the opportunity to replenish another batch of coal, at this time the last time for him to transport soldiers of the Nanyang merchant ships are in Annam, are full of coal on standby, but the British blockade of Guangzhou they can't come, just send a telegram to the subordinates there, and then Dingzhenwei three ships go to sea to escort it over, those merchant ships are downwind and take advantage of the warm current of the South China Sea It won't take a few days.

As for the British army, let's fight the sea, anyway, it is nothing more than him to take it back later.

"There is another thing, Taiwan's Hong Xie sent people to ask for an audience, and he is still waiting in Humen."

Zeng Tao said.

"Hong Xie?"

Yang Feng groaned.

Soon he knew about the situation of Hong Xie, which was also the Heaven and Earth Society, and his subordinates were all Luohan feet, that is, the destitute single vagrants, who occupied a small area in Tainan after gathering troops to raise troops, which was originally a few years later in history, and was quickly exterminated, but this time the general soldier of Taiwan Town, Da Honga, led Taiwan's green battalion to fight with Zhong Xiang, and the emptiness of Taiwan's Qing army's defense gave them a chance.

"Call him over!"

Yang Feng said.

He decided to send an army over, not too much, one battalion is enough, one battalion of the Ming army landed in Tainan, and then reorganized the rebel army under the Hong Xie, so that a brigade could be quickly put together, and with such a brigade in Taiwan, there would basically be no need to worry about it in the future.

"God Emperor, Yang Silong is waiting to see you."

The attendant came in to give a report.

"Call him in, forget it, I'll go out and see this young hero!"

After Yang Feng finished speaking, he put on a polite corporal and walked out.

At this time, Dongwang was actually only eighteen years old, and he could be called a young hero, of course, it was a little worse than this, black and thin, but the perennial hard charcoal burner career made him look very powerful although he was thin, and the muscles on his body supported the skin and looked like iron, as soon as he saw him come out, he immediately knelt down like a flattered man of about the same age who accompanied him, and kowtowed to the ground with a reverent face.

"Minister Yang Silong knocks on the God Emperor."

He said respectfully.

"Chen Lin Qirong knocks to see the God Emperor."

The man next to him said with the same sincerity.

"What's your name?"

Yang Feng was stunned.

"Hui Shen Huang, Chen Lin Qirong, commander of the third battalion of the sixteenth infantry brigade."

The man hastened to answer.

"Very good, they are all young heroes!"

Yang Feng helped him up and said.

"I don't like to waste time, you, Yang Silong has two choices, one is to go back and continue to fight with Luo Outline as your brigade commander, and the other is to stay here to study in the military academy for a year and then become an official, as for what officer to be arranged. As for you, Lin Qirong, there are also two choices, one is to go back to be the battalion commander to fight, and the other is to do one thing for me, cross the sea to Taiwan, where the rebels ask for help, I will send a battalion over, but I also need a commissioner to represent me, and you will be this commissioner. ”

He continued.

"God Emperor, the minister is willing to enroll!"

Yang Silong said without hesitation.

This is the choice of a smart person, he knows very well that the God Emperor does this, which means that he has to cultivate himself as a cronie, and this opportunity to be a close minister of the God Emperor cannot be changed even if he is given a system!

"What about you?"

Yang Feng nodded, and then looked at Lin Qirong.

"God Emperor, the minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, but the minister doesn't know what this commissioner does!"

Lin Qirong said.

"Literate?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Yes."

Lin Qirong replied.

"Give it to you, after you arrive in Taiwan, you will pass these on to the people there on my behalf, as for other specific affairs, someone will help you, what you need is to let the people there respect you and trust you!"

Yang Feng handed him a set of holy oracles and said.

Lin Qirong hurriedly took it with both hands.

This group of people who go to Taiwan will definitely have to fight alone in the future, at most they will provide arms and other material support, but the people and horses there must be prepared to deal with everything alone under the attack of the Qing army and the gentry, and may even include the local indigenous attack, this person in charge must be tenacious and unyielding, eating grass bark to lead the Taiping army to stick to Jiujiang, and Lin Qirong, who is unyielding to the death to meet the Hunan army alone, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, which is completely comparable to Yang Jingyu.

As for how he doesn't know how to do his job......

The more such a person is, the easier it is to become a fanatic, and if he is given a set of oracles, he will scrupulously follow them.

And nearly 20,000 Taiping troops followed him to defend Jiujiang to the death, even if they ate grass bark, they did not betray, and in the end until they all died in battle, even Zeng shaved his head was amazed, which is enough to prove this person's ability to unite people's hearts, such a person only needs a little time to grow, so let him go to Taiwan as this commissioner similar to Qincha. In other words, Yang Feng now finds that his side is also a treasure trove, those outstanding talents who have been tested by the war are constantly emerging, these people are as casually used as they are on the shelves, and they can be used boldly and confidently......

"God Emperor, Luo Tong reported that he conquered Nanning, and Li Kaifang, the leader of the Nanning Righteous Army, beheaded Zuojiang Dao."

The attendant suddenly reported.

"Very good, tell Luo Outline, take advantage of the victory to go north to take Guilin, and reorganize the Nanning Righteous Army into the 18th Brigade with Li Kaifang as the brigade commander."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

This is another top player!

To be honest, Luo Outline's momentum is so overwhelming, even he was a little surprised, this is the rhythm of taking Guangxi in three months! Take Guangxi first, and then get all these famous generals back to the furnace, and let them go to the military academy for further study, these will be the pillars of talent in the future!

And just when Yang Feng happily accepted the famous general, Yishan in Shaoguan also got the news that Yilu's army had withdrawn from the Pearl River Estuary.

"This barbarian, wild and untamable!"

He grimaced with a gloomy face.

"Where did they go?"

Zhou Tianjue asked the officer who reported the news.

In fact, this is already eight days later, because of Luo's attack in Guangxi, Yangjiang Town has basically become a lonely enemy, and the Xijiang River has become a Ming army-controlled area, and the people who are in the enthusiasm of dividing the fields are very vigilant, and if they want to send the information over, they must take the sea route, that is, they will first send it to Xiamen, and then send it to Longyan by land to Shaoguan, but after the British army withdrew, the Ming army regained control of the coast, so the ships sent by the general army of Yangjiang Town had to bypass the Pearl River estuary, and it was very efficient to deliver the letter in eight days.

"Lord Huitai, Yingyi's whereabouts are unknown, they left late at night, Lai Zhentai is worried that they will go north to attack and disturb, and if they don't get it, they will attack Dinghai."

The officer said cautiously.

"Conquer the sea?"

Yishan was immediately amused.

"Just their men still attack the sea?"

Zhou Tianjue was also amused.

Although Ge Yunfei was worried, the defense of Dinghai was actually greatly strengthened than before, after all, those gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not want to repeat Yang Feng's three-day tour of the Yangtze River, and that time he did not lay down Dinghai so he could only swim and leave, but if he laid down Dinghai last time, then this eastern Zhejiang is now a copy of Fuzhou, this demon obviously likes to play this, so the forts in Dinghai are not only rebuilt at a speed but also equipped with more and heavier artillery, the number of garrisons has also exceeded 10,000, and there is even a small cavalry stationed, As for the thousands of British troops, even if they landed, it would be like suicide.

"It is estimated that these barbarians want to bargain, leave Humen first and then force us to agree to lease Dinghai, since this is the case, hang them to see how long they can float on the sea!"

Yishan sneered.

"Then do you notify Zhejiang?"

Iribu said.

"Send a letter to Yun Ting and let him strengthen his vigilance!"

Yishan said.

Since this is the case, it is under Zhong Xiang's control, and Daqing missed it......

Well, it's useless not to miss it.

Because on the same day, the British army also arrived at Dinghai, and the British fleet, which was sailing at full speed downwind, sailed 1,500 kilometers in eight days, and then suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Chaofa, the commander of Dinghai, who replaced Ge Yunfei.

"Ordered to enter Beijing to see you?"

Zhang Chaofa looked at the Dinghai County Order who came back with a blank face.

He was under the Shenjiamen fort at this time, and under his feet was a large naval warship comparable to a British cruiser, with as many as forty guns, and two more of the same warship, which was purchased by the Zhejiang gentry from the Dutch on the island with amazing efficiency......

Having beaten Yang Feng, not to mention for the time being, there is a strong sailor who can at least contain it at sea.

It's not just Zhejiang.

In fact, at this time, Lin Zexu, the governor of Liangjiang, was also strengthening the Yangtze River Naval Division in the same way.

The first person in the Qing Kingdom to open his eyes to the world is still very sober in this regard, but he has just started there, and originally wanted to buy warships from Macao, but the Portuguese in Macao were also under the authority of Yang Fengyin at this time, and they did not dare to take this job at all, so his purchase order was also given to the Dutch who went out of the island, and it is said that he ordered more than a dozen cruiser-level warships at once, but because of the time relationship, it has not yet arrived. The three ships of the Dinghai Division were bought by the Zhejiang gentry from the Dutch, plus a total of 20 battleships cobbled together locally to cross Shenjiamen, and together with the fort and some beachhead artillery positions, they formed the first line of defense in Dinghai, and in front of them were British warships that were like city walls.

On the deck of the battleship at the front of the telescope, a man who looked like a general was smiling and waving to him, but this person was wearing a bright yellow coat.

Zhang Chaofa was a little confused.

Of course, he knew about the arrival of the Yingyi Righteous Army, and he also knew that they cooperated with Yishan to blockade Guangzhou, but he didn't know anything else, and at this time, it was already very good for him to know this.

But he really didn't know if these people went north to see the emperor, but he wasn't sure that these people were lying, because the yellow coat on the deck couldn't be faked, it was a symbol of the highest honor of Qing officials, and everything he got had to be enshrined in front of his ancestral tablet, and then he made a copycat version to wear, such a noble thing was worn on this Yingyi general, which suddenly diluted the vigilance he should have. Zhang Chaofa, who was not a mediocre talent, watched the British fleet slowly approaching at this moment, until it was almost less than a hundred feet away from his own fleet, and at this time he was vaguely uneasy in his heart, and he stared at the Gao Huali that was almost face-to-face with him.

The Yingyi general on the deck suddenly took off his hat, bowed to him with a strange smile, and then seemed to say something......

"Not good!"

Zhang Chaofa instinctively exclaimed.

Almost at the same time, in the dense cannon door that opened across from him, flames erupted like erupting volcanoes......
