Chapter 932: A Thousand Miles of Pursuit

Zheng Zhilong let out a long sigh and said astringently: "Mr. Sony, I'm really sorry, all the arms we grabbed were snatched back by the sailors sent by the imperial court......"

"What?"

Sony's face was full of shock, and he said urgently: "How come? Even I don't know where the munitions are now, how can the sailors of the imperial court find out? Didn't you hide this batch of munitions a long time ago? How could it be possible to leak the news so quickly? You're not going to regret it, are you? ”

"Repentance?"

Zheng Zhilong was angry when he landed, he was already aggrieved enough, and now Sony still suspects that he regrets it, how can this be true!

"Repent, if I repent, I will sacrifice your head to the flag first! Are you stupid? What are the benefits of this for General Ben? Handed over to the imperial court? Will the court still trust me now? Keeping it to yourself? What I lack now is not artillery, but cavalry, cavalry, which is more important, don't I know? ”

Zheng Zhilong shouted angrily.

Sonny smiled bitterly: "General Zheng, I'm sorry, I take back what I just said, I am in a hurry, and I have just lost my way, but what is going on?" How could the imperial court find the location of the arms so quickly? ”

Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know, the intelligence department of the imperial court is too powerful, compared to the Jinyi Weidong Factory back then, the West Factory is simply surpassed, and it was so quick to hear the news that we hid the arms in Keelung, and the entire imperial sailors poured out to attack Keelung, the two thousand troops I left in Keelung, together with our warships, were all defeated, and Keelung City fell overnight, it seems that Zhu Jie is really anxious for this batch of arms......

Sonny said depressedly: "This is good, I just sent a message to the regent, and in less than a day, things have changed, I'm afraid that our regent will be extremely annoyed......"

Zheng Zhilong sighed: "Now I can only hope for the Fujian Sailors, I hope that Zhibao and Tagawa Nanazaemon can rush to Keelung before the Imperial Sailors evacuate, plus the arms are snatched back, this time all the main forces of the Fujian Sailors have been sent, as long as the Imperial Sailors can be intercepted, then it is completely sure that the arms will be snatched back." ”

The two of them were relatively speechless, and they could only hope for the Fujian sailors.

But where can this catch up? Zheng Haotian is not a fool, naturally he wants to set sail in the shortest possible time and rush back to Nanjing City, at this time, it is not the best strategy to fight to the death with the Fujian Navy, and the Imperial Sailor has absolutely no strength to compete with the Fujian Sailor at this time.

Zheng Zhibao and Tagawa Shichizaemon led the Fujian Navy Division to Keelung Port as quickly as possible, at this time, Keelung Port was already empty, on the coast of Keelung Port, there were even countless Zheng soldiers who died in battle, and several broken warships were still lonely on the sea, and even the warships had no time to repair and take them away.

"It's been a day?"

Finally Zheng Zhibao and Tagawa Nanaemon found a rout of the Zheng army, and after inquiring, they learned that the sailors of the imperial court had already loaded all the arms on the warships as early as yesterday and set sail back to Nanjing.

The two of them were cold in their hearts, and they were a step late!

"Uncle, what are we waiting for? Chasing, from Keelung to Nanjing City, not to mention, there is also a sea route of two thousand miles, most of the sailors of the imperial court are old ships, the speed is not fast, we are moving at full speed, it is entirely possible to catch up! ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon shouted.

Zheng Zhibao gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay, pass the order, the sailor set sail at full speed and march towards the northwest direction, chasing the sailor of the imperial court, this time, no matter what, the arms will be snatched back!" ”

The Fujian sailor turned around again and chased down in the northwest direction.

Tagawa Nanazaemon is right, although the imperial sailors have undergone a large-scale refitting, but only thirty or forty warships have been replenished, and the remaining forty or fifty or sixty warships are all old warships, brought from Dongting Lake, the overall tonnage of the warships is small, and the speed is not fast, once it encounters a huge wind and waves, it is even possible to be scattered by the huge waves.

In addition, the imperial sailors are not very familiar with the sea conditions in the coastal waters, far from being able to compare with the Fujian sailors, naturally they cannot move forward at full speed, once they deviate from the course, it is very dangerous, in this case, on the sea, the warships of the Fujian sailors are undoubtedly much faster than the imperial sailors, and in one day, the imperial sailors ran out of more than 300 miles, and they have not left the waters of Fujian to enter the waters of Zhejiang.

The two sides ran one and the other chased, until the afternoon of the third day, the Fujian sailor chased from Keelung to the vicinity of Songjiang Mansion in one go, and finally saw the shadow of the imperial sailor!

"Haha, uncle, let's catch up, catch up, now the sailors of the imperial court are only twenty miles away from us, as long as we work harder, we can completely block the sailors of the imperial court before dusk!"

Tagawa Nanazaemon was very excited, and he finally caught up, this time, he must take revenge!

"The order is down, and the sailor is still moving forward at full speed, turning on the artillery, and preparing for battle!"

Zheng Zhibao, as the supreme commander, gave a big order to attack, and the Fujian Navy Division rushed towards the ass of the Imperial Navy Division!

The Fujian Navy Division discovered the Imperial Water Division, and the Imperial Water Division also discovered the traces of the Fujian Water Division, and the sentinels on the watchtower were not idle meals, but stared at the sea!

"What? There is a massive fleet in the back? ”

Zheng Haotian's heart was shocked, and he immediately rushed to the watchtower like a whirlwind, holding a monocular in his hand and looking in the southeast direction, sure enough, more than twenty miles away from him, a fleet was rapidly approaching his own sailor - Fujian sailor!

Although Zheng Haotian fights on lakes and rivers on weekdays, he also knows very well that above the sea, only warships dare to advance so fast, and the speed of advancing every hour is more than thirty miles, close to forty miles, too fast!

"Quick, give an order immediately, all warships enter the combat state, immediately reload, once the Fujian Navy Division approaches, preemptively launch an attack, dog, Zheng Zhilong is really not giving up!"

Zheng Haotian gritted his teeth with hatred, he dared to catch up, this Zheng Zhilong was too frustrated!

"Order, sailor, move at full speed towards Songjiang Port, where is the fort we just built, relying on the sailor alone, we may not be able to repel the Fujian sailor, only with the help of the combat power of the fort, it is possible, go at full speed, go straight to Songjiang Port, don't keep it, even if the ship falls apart, we must move at full speed!"

Now the Imperial Navy Division is still less than two hundred miles away from Songjiang Port, and if you let go of the speed, it will only take four or five hours to reach the military port!
