Chapter 298: Swallowing Thousands of Miles Like a Tiger

When Dai Shan heard Huang Taiji say this, he was relieved, but he still advised: "Eighth brother, it is better to send someone to Phi Dao to find out the truth of the matter." ”

Huang Taiji nodded, turned back to a person behind him, and said, "Go and invite Fan Zhangjing?" ”

The Tartar behind "Chirp ......" hurried away.

This Fan Zhangjing is Fan Wencheng, and in April 1629, Huang Taiji established the prototype of the cabinet, the "Wenguan", and Fan Wencheng became the backbone of the Wenguan. Fan Wencheng also became a close advisor of Huang Taiji, and he participated in the formulation of the strategy of defeating the Ming Dynasty, winning the surrender of Han officials, attacking Korea to pacify Mongolia, and the construction of the national system.

Huang Taiji attached great importance to Fan Wencheng, and every time they talked, they had to talk for hours, and they didn't even have time to eat and rest, so they were summoned to talk again. Whenever there is a major military and political event, the emperor often says: "Does Fan Zhangjing know?" Whenever the discussion was undecided, he would also say, "Why don't you discuss with Fan Zhangjing?" When His Majesty said "Fan Wencheng has agreed", Huang Taiji will finally approve the relevant decision.

Fan Wencheng was the founder of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his achievements were for a while. And he's a brilliant guy. Quite self-aware. He knew that he was a Han Chinese, and for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was from a humble background, and he was a slave. Therefore, he was cautious everywhere throughout his life, avoiding "high merit and shocking the Lord", in order to "live in peace and avoid trouble".

He can be said to be a traitor with one mind, and he has achieved the ultimate in being a traitor. It's the kind of person who is willing to be a slave.

Huang Taiji smiled and said to Dai Shan: "If Liu Xingzhi is sincere in surrendering, then we will take this opportunity to occupy Phi Island and destroy the Dongjiang River." ”

Although Huang Taiji is in full swing in the Eight Banners, he still has great respect for the Great Belle Daishan who supported him to inherit the throne. Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne after Khan. The oath is made to heaven and earth. The oath gave Daishan, Amin and Mang Gultai the privilege of teaching their children, and they had the right to discipline and control the eleven "children of Belle", including Abatai and Azig. If these Baylors despise the three of them, they will die short-lived.

After a while. Fan Wencheng is here. Although he is a Confucian student, he has a dignified appearance and a burly physique, but he looks very much like a tiger general. Huang Taiji saw Fan Wencheng and told him about the Dongjiang River.

Fan Wencheng thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Great Khan, Dongjiang took advantage of the Great Khan to enter the customs to fight and gather troops to attack Gaizhou. But the students have been thinking about it for a few days. Without Mao Wenlong in the Dongjiang River, the army's morale will be chaotic, how can they gather nearly 10,000 soldiers to connect Kegaizhou, Haizhou and Anshan within a few days. With only a group of stragglers in the Dongjiang River, I am afraid it will not work. Even if Mao Wenlong is not dead, he can't do it. ”

When Huang Taiji and Dai Shan heard this, their faces sank. Huang Taiji hurriedly asked: "What Mr. Nayi meant, what is the mystery behind this?" Dongjiang hangs lonely overseas, where does the foreign aid come from, is it Denglai? ”

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "The Great Khan still remembers that two years ago, Gaizhou was also attacked once. The gang was reported to have extremely sharp firearms. Even the two white flags stationed near Gaizhou, nearly 1,000 horses, were all destroyed. Since then, Gaizhou, Yingkou and even the coast of southern Liaoning have been harassed several times. The banner soldiers lost more than 1,000 people.

According to reports from various places, the thieves who came ashore had strong firearms, and the invasion was like fire and fleeting. It's quite similar to the battle of the Dongjiang River to harass Gaizhou, but I don't know if it has anything to do with this gang of thieves. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and he also remembered the incident. He said worriedly: "According to Mr. Wang's opinion, whether it is feasible for us to take advantage of Liu Xingzhi's occupation of Phi Island and attack the Dongjiang River." ”

"If the Great Khan attacks Phi Dao, he will find out the truth in advance. It's also possible. Now that the chaos in the Dongjiang River has been revealed, Phi Dao will take a look. The rest of the island forts will be at their own peril. Support Liu Xingzhi to train sailors on Phi Island, and in the future, he can destroy the islands and forts of the Dongjiang River.

As for the bandits. It's not a cause for concern. The thieves were so strong that they did not take advantage of the chaos of the Dongjiang River to seize an island and a fort, and gathered the Dongjiang soldiers to attack and harass ashore, and they also left as soon as they fought. The students thought that they were not here, and that the trouble in southern Liaoning should be just for money. ”

Huang Taiji and Dai Shan listened to Fan Wencheng's words, and they both thought so, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. If there is really a powerful force peeping into southern Liaoning, then they won't even be able to sleep.

Next, Huang Taiji convened the major Baylor banner lords of the Later Jin regime to discuss the expedition to Phi Dao and the East China Sea. For the expedition to the East China Sea, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, they only cared about how much they could get after the gang of pirates was destroyed.

And when they went out to Phi Dao, they were more cautious, after all, Phi Dao had been isolated overseas for so long, and the Tartars didn't treat people well. After all, the Tartars can't handle the ship, and if you can fight again, you won't be able to exert your strength when you get on the boat.

But Liu Xingzhi occupied Phi Dao and had the intention of defecting to the Jurchens, so it was different. Once Houjin occupies Phi Dao, Liu Xingzhi can be supported on Phi Dao, and the Dongjiang River will not be troubled in the future.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty heard of the Phi Island mutiny, and immediately sent Zhou Wenyu, the deputy commander-in-chief, to the island to pacify. Liu Xingzhi was appeased, and the rebellion gradually subsided. The Ming Dynasty appointed Jinzhou General Huang Long as the former general of the conquest of the capital governor, guarding Denglai and Dongjiang, and stationed on Phi Island. The situation on the Dongjiang River has stabilized for the time being.

But Liu Xingzhi's rebellious activities did not stop, and he has been secretly communicating with the Tartars. In August 1630, he signed an "oath" with the generals Li Dengke, the guerrilla Cui Yaozu, Du Sima Liang, Li Shi'an, Guo Tiansheng, the garrison Wang Cai, Wang Chenggong and others, and secretly sent it to Huang Taiji. When Huang Taiji received this "oath", he immediately replied to the letter, once again expressing his welcome, and he himself "swore an oath on heaven and earth, without violating it."

Li Ming's combined fleet spent more than two months in the waters near Macao, during which time they intercepted more than a dozen fish that had escaped from the Manila guerrilla fleet.

While organizing pirates to intercept foreign merchant ships bound for Macao, he sent someone to inform Liu Xiang of Lamma Island and ask him to come and meet him quickly.

Liu Xiang was nervous during this time. After all, the waters off Guangdong were full of Zheng's pirate ships, and he had been informed by Li Ming in advance that he should not act rashly. So Liu Xiang has been restraining his subordinates these days and ordering them not to go to sea.

Liu Xiang still has no bottom in his heart, what if the Far East Company directly kills him. As long as Zheng Zhilong is here, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Far East.

So he received Li Ming's order and immediately sent someone to drive him to the Combined Fleet. He looked at the huge plywood ships, and couldn't help but secretly feel frightened in his heart, where did the Far East Company get so many Westerners' sea ships.

But when he saw the huge iron ship in the distance, he was completely stunned. What kind of ship is this, it looks like it's all iron all over the body, and it has no sails or oars, it's really evil.

At this time, an iron ship came from a distance, which surprised Liu Xiang. This iron ship is very similar to the big iron ship, and it is also sailless and oars, and it can run like a flight on the sea.

The landing craft took Liu Xiang from the Fu ship to the No. 1 landing ship, and Li Ming personally greeted him. Liu Xiang has long been convinced by the Far East Company, and he has made a big gift when he comes up.

"Liu Xiang has seen the general!"

Li Ming grabbed Liu Xiang's arm and laughed: "Liu Da is in charge, they are all his own family, so there is no need to be so polite." Come...... Let's go inside and talk about ......."

Liu Xiang was led by Li Ming to a room in the cabin, where a table of banquets had already been set up. After they sat down, Li Ming smiled and picked up the wine glass, and said to Liu Xiang: "Come, I will respect Liu Da in charge of this cup, and we will make a fortune together at sea in the future." ”

After listening to Li Ming's words, Liu Xiang slandered in his heart, you are so damn light, with your great god on the sea, how can we live. But he didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, and he was very bold and fell away.

Li Ming also saw what Liu Xiang was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Master Liu, I don't talk nonsense, I will tell you about the future regulations of the sea today." Don't be a good look when your own family bumps into it. ”

Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this person from the Far East is too direct. You have to be polite and talk about it again, this is good, come up. He couldn't help but get nervous.

"What you didn't say, whatever the general said, we will come, just give us food."

Li Ming smiled, and then roughly explained his meaning to Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang was stupid when he heard it, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and it was only now that he knew how wild the Far East's heart was.

This is simply to dominate the rhythm of the entire Nanyang, he originally felt that he was already quite awesome in controlling the coastal areas of Guangdong, but these guys in the Far East couldn't look down on it at all. The reason why the Far East did not move him was that it was afraid that if he was destroyed, the coastal areas of Guangdong would be chaotic for a while, and it would be more troublesome for them to reunite.

Moreover, after following the Far East, the Ming merchants along the coast of Guangdong went to Manila, and he Liu Xiang had a share of the silver they earned. Once the Far East controls Nanyang and gets Manila up, all the Yi people from the West can only go to Manila if they want to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the big plywood boats of the Westerners dared to cross Manila, it was an act of seeking death. Moreover, any Ming merchant who dared to trade privately with the Yi people from the west would also be severely attacked by the Far East.

Although Liu Xiang is a sea hero who controls thousands of ships, he was also stunned by this big game of chess in the Far East.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, look at the Far East, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger! Look at yourself again, compared with other people's Far East, he is a landlord in the countryside, guarding a few acres of broken land, and living on rent.

Liu Xiang immediately straightened his position, he knew what to do in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiang hurriedly stood up, made a big salute to Li Ming, and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, general, in the future, I will definitely make the coastal areas of Guangdong behave in order, if Franji and Hongyi come, I will rob them." If the merchants along the coast of Guangdong dare to trade with Fanyi privately, I will go ashore and exterminate the butchers. (To be continued)
