Jin'an Mansion City is located on the north bank of the Min River, about 50 miles away from the mouth of the Bailong River in the north of the Min River. Through the transmission of the beacon fire, the city of Jin'an Mansion soon learned the news of the attack on Jiangkou.

Extravagant Feihu sat in the Tiger Peep Hall, his expression was grim, at this time he only knew that Jiangkou had been attacked, and there was no way to know the further situation.

Qin Zitan stood under the eaves of the porch, since the luxury family controlled the forces of the East China Sea Kou, Jin An has not been attacked from the sea in the past few years. At this time, it coincided with the proclamation of the ban on the sea by Huaidong - if it was really the Huaidong warship that went around to Jin'an to launch a surprise attack, the problem would be tricky.

Several armor soldiers broke in with the order, and Qin Zitan saw that the leader was Zheng Mingjing, the captain of the guards beside the Governor of the Great Metropolitan Wen Zhuanggong, and asked, "Captain Zheng, but there is news from Jiangkou?" ”

Zheng Mingjing nodded, and he didn't say in detail, but said: "The lord asks the second prince and Mr. Qin to come over ......."

Qin Zitan has not officially served in the Zhejiang and Fujian Governor's Mansion, but only stayed in Jin'an as a guest in the Luxury Feihu Mansion, and Zheng Mingjing was called "Mr". Listening to the conversation at the door, he didn't look upright, walked out, and only asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"Mingyuan Pavilion, I also sent someone to invite you!" Zheng Mingjing replied.

Qin Zitan said secretly: The Metropolitan Governor also realized that this attack was extraordinary! stopped talking nonsense at the moment, and followed the second son, Hao Feihu, to Mingyuan Pavilion.

Walking into the Ming Hall, seeing Shang Sima Wen Chengyun standing in the room with a rather depressed face, Qin Zitan felt strange in his heart: Shang Sima Wen Chengyun was in charge of the garrison of the Ya'an East Line, and the water camp on Nantai Island was also under his control, and the Bailongjiang Estuary was attacked, so if he didn't run over to see the enemy situation in person, how could he still be in the mood to stay in Jin'an City? Could it be that Wenzhuang also thought that the attack on the mouth of the Bailongjiang River was just an ordinary trivial matter, and Wen Chengyun didn't need to make a special trip?

Seeing Hao Feihu and Qin Zitan coming in, Wen Chengyun gave Hao Feihu a salute: "Second son, ......"

Due to the defeat in the East China Sea two years ago, Luxury Feihu has not been able to grasp real power in Jin'an so far, which has also caused Qin Zitan's status in Jin'an to plummet, and naturally he will not be seen by Wen Chengyun and other figures.

Qin Zitan followed the luxury flying tiger to the capital governor of luxury Wenzhuang, luxury Wenzhuang frowned and pondered, and after a while came back to his senses, and said: "Flying tiger and Zitan are here......

Extravagant Feihu couldn't bear it, and asked directly: "The details of the enemy attacking the Bailongjiang River, have you ever found out on Nantai Island?" ”

Wen Chengyun said: "There are five loach ships disguised as our sailor warships, and they have entered the Bailongjiang estuary, attacked two patrol ships at my mouth of the river and more than ten merchant ships stationed at the dock of Xiadao. ”

Just as Huaidong and other places called Zhejiang and Fujian rebels, Zhejiang and Fujian called Huaidong the Kou army.

Haowenzhuang noticed that Qin Zitan frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Zitan, do you think you have any doubts?" ”

"I'm afraid the boat that chases out will be in danger!" Qin Zitan said, "Huaidong's Kou ship has recently been sent out from Shengsi, and it has to be detoured from the open sea east of Daishan and Changguo, so that we will not be discovered in advance, it should be a fleet of ships of considerable size, and the five loach boats attacking the mouth of the Bailong River in the river are very likely to be bait!" ”

Qin Zitan would not believe that Huaidong only sent five loach ships to attack the mouth of the Minjiang River for thousands of miles, and the fleet composed of only five loach ships was very dangerous to go to the open sea at this time, and Huai'an must have a larger fleet waiting for the rabbit in the open sea, waiting for the pursuing warships to rush into the net.

Hao Wenzhuang nodded and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and the water camp warship on Nantai Island has been chased out, and it is too late to chase it back; I have ordered Hu Zongguo to go to Nantai Island to supervise the battle on my behalf and guard the gate. ”

After saying these words with a calm face, Qin Zitan understood why Wen Chengyun was standing here with a depressed face. Even if the warship that attacked in a hurry was not sent by Wen Chengyun, but he had presided over the defense of the eastern front for a long time, and the generals under his command fell for Huaidong's plan to lure the snake out of the hole so hastily, it is no wonder that the Metropolitan Governor would be dissatisfied with him and sent the chief Shi Hu Zongguo to Nantai Island to supervise the war instead of him.

The Minjiang River divides Nantai Island into north and south at the sea entrance, and Nantai Island is the gateway to the Minjiang River, and its topography is also suitable for garrisoning water camps. In addition to the East Zhejiang Naval Division, another naval division under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian was stationed on the upper island of Nantai Island, with more than 400 large and small warships and more than 6,000 soldiers.

When it comes to the establishment of the naval army, Zhejiang-Fujian is several times more than Huaidong, but the defeat in the East China Sea two years ago has long proved that the number of troops is only a secondary factor in naval warfare, and the quality of warships is the main thing.

Although after occupying eastern Zhejiang, a group of shipbuilding craftsmen were obtained, which strengthened Jin'an's shipbuilding capacity and strived to build more and larger sea ships, but compared with Huaidong, there was still a big distance.

For a while, it was impossible to figure out how many warships in Huaidong had bypassed Daishan and Changguo to the south, and it was precisely because they were not clear that the Nantai Island sailors should be more cautious and use the terrain of Nantai Island and the Minjiang River Estuary to deal with the Huaidong sailors who had rushed thousands of miles, rather than rushing to pursue.

The Huaidong Navy Division's warships rushed to attack the mouth of the Min River, and the opinions were not trivial, and the big people who stayed in Jin'an City were all summoned to the Ming Jing Pavilion for discussion.

The representative of the Song family in Jin'an, the Dadu Governor's Mansion Dictionary ordered Song Bo to also summon him.

Luxury Feihu married Song Fu's young daughter as his wife, and the two families still maintain a close in-law relationship. As for Song Jia and Hao Mingyue, they have long become a topic of secrecy in Jin'an City, and no one will mention it again.

Qin Zitan hoped that the general of the water camp who was pursuing him would be smarter, and it would be too late to send a boat to chase him, so he only hoped that he would be able to bring the boat back when he saw the wrong opportunity, and reserve some more water camp forces for Zhejiang and Fujian.

The next battle in the East China Sea will be very cruel, although the naval division of Zhejiang and Fujian is much more than that of Huaidong, but Qin Zitan does not think that Zhejiang and Fujian have a better chance of winning!

*************

The dock of Xiadao was attacked, two patrol ships and 12 merchant ships were set on fire, including the patrol of the water battalion, nearly 200 people were shot mercilessly, and less than half of those who escaped were killed.

After the attack of the water camp fast oarboats, the enemy ships quickly fled from the estuary. The fast paddle boat rows with people, and the narrow river surface is advantageous for short-distance pursuit. Once out of the estuary, it is impossible for the fast oars to catch up with the enemy boats that flee with the wind.

Shi and Kim transferred eight clippers and chased them out.

Changshi Hu Zongguo rushed to supervise the battle with the order of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and Shi Hejin had already led the ship to chase it for nearly two hours, and it was too late to recover.

In the late autumn of October, the northwest wind gradually prevailed, and the five loach boats sailed to the southeast, and in two hours, they traveled more than 160 miles with the wind and entered the sea area of Xitashan Island in the southeast of Jin'an Prefecture.

Sitashan Island is a long and narrow mountain island more than 100 miles from the coast, and only a few dozen islanders farm on the island. The huge fleet, mainly six Jinhai-class warships, is quietly dormant on the back of Xitashan Island.

Dozens of islanders on the island completely docked at the island of Heitashan Island two fishing boats were under control, Zhang Gou and Chen Yan led a sentry to board Heitashan Island, Chen Yan led a soldier to hide in the mountains and forests, Zhang Gou and several sentries stood in the mountains and forests at the top of the island at this time, monitoring the sea area in the northwest......

There were only eight warships chasing after Jin'an, which was really disappointing! However, no matter how thin the mosquito's legs are, it is also meat when cut off, this is a competition between one and the other, and if you want to annihilate the main force of the Nantai Island water camp of the rebels in Zhejiang and Fujian in one fell swoop, you really have to wait for the ancestral grave to burn high incense.

When the eight warships of the Zhejiang-Fujian rebels entered the sea area ready for ambush, the Huaidong warship lurking behind Heitashan Island raised its sails and attacked, like a cheetah lurking in the depths of the grass, and at this time it launched a thunderous blow to its prey.

There is no suspense in the pursuit, and the attacking fleet is composed of fast sailing ships, which is to make full use of the speed advantage when chasing the enemy ship or sailing away.

Once the six Jinhai-class warships and the eighteen Jiyun-class warships open their nets, the eight loach ships will be difficult to escape and climb to the sky!

When approaching, the bed crossbow fires a huge hook with a rope, which can firmly hook the enemy ship from a distance of seventy or eighty paces, and arrows, fire pots, and falling rocks are all in unison.

If he surrenders without a fight, his family will be punished, and Shi Hejin will not be willing to surrender. But when they entered the encirclement and looked at the Huaidong warship whose side was seven or eight feet higher, Shi and Jin knew that they didn't even have a chance to board the ship to fight back.

Shi Hejin held a shield and blocked the arrows and flints as much as possible, shouting: "Cut the rope, light the rocket, shoot the damn!" Head to Heita Mountain! "Order the subordinates to frantically throw rockets, fire canisters, etc. towards the Huaidong warship, desperately breaking through in the direction of Hetashan Island.

Shi Hejin guessed that there might be Huaidong's soldiers on Hetashan Island in ambush, but there was only a piece of land on Hetashan Island for dozens of miles around, and he didn't know if there were reinforcements to save him, he wanted to live, so he had a chance only by landing on Hetashan Island and finding a favorable terrain to resist stubbornly.

Seeing that an enemy ship broke free from the encirclement and fled to Hetashan Island, Chen Yan screamed excitedly, put the horse chopping knife in front of him, looked at the pawn behind him with horizontal eyebrows, and said: "Hold steady for the master, and when they all go ashore, kill his mother, so as not to give the credit to the water camp...... "Staring at the direction of the enemy ship to the shore, and instructed several commanders how to surround and fight!"

If there is no war, there will be no chance of promotion, there will be no opportunity to reward the meritorious fields, there will be no home glory to the ancestors, and the soldiers of the Chongcheng infantry camp will also hold a lot in the Shengsi defense line. This time, two battalions of armor soldiers went south with the fleet, and they still got the first chance to fight, so they naturally didn't want to perform badly......

***************

The fishermen who escaped from the battlefield in the waters of Hetashan Island brought the news of the total annihilation of the pursuing fleet.

Before nightfall, there was a police signal in the direction of Putian, and the wolf smoke was ignited, and it was the Pingtan Island in the eastern sea area of Putian that was attacked.

Standing on the coast of Putian, you can see the fire in the direction of Pingtan Fort all night across the bank. Although Pingtan Fort is the largest island between the Yizhou Strait, with a depth of fifty or sixty miles from north to south, which is comparable to a county, the garrison of Zhejiang and Fujian in Pingtan Fort is only more than 300 people, and they are all local miscellaneous soldiers who are not strong in combat.

Although Zhejiang and Fujian are known as 100,000 elites, except for a part of Jin'an Mansion, the others are on the front of eastern and western Zhejiang.

In the Mingjing Pavilion in the back garden of the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang and Fujian, Luwenzhuang can no longer maintain a calm and calm look. When he heard that there was an attack on Dong'an Island in the eastern sea of Xiapu County in the northwest, his face had turned pale. Including Qin Zitan, everyone couldn't be sure what the chances of winning would be if they sent the Nantai Island Water Battalion out for a decisive battle!

Or did he send an order to the Mingzhou Mansion to make the Zhedong Navy Division attack and carry out a retaliatory attack on Huaidong, forcing Huaidong to attack the Navy Division back?
