1813: Summoning Order
Everyone who could see this fleet appearing on the sea in Yangang was stunned.
This is the first time that a warship driven by a steam engine appeared in this sea area. The warship without sails and masts were rolling thick smoke in the huge chimneys, and the huge waves raised by the warships were shocking.
As it got closer to Yangang Port, the huge hull of Taiping's hull became less and more powerful. Several berths in the port were cleared, and the merchant ships leaving the port looked particularly short against the backdrop of the towering hull of Taiping. Although it was far enough away from Taiping, the huge waves raised by Taiping still made the merchant ship shaking.
The Taiping slowed down slowly, but relied on inertia to slowly enter the port, while the other five main warships docked in a circle and did not enter the port.
Yu Rongguang led the officials of the Marine Federation of Yangang and the guards looking up at the Taiping, which was docked in the port like a mountain. The shock in his heart was endless. At this moment, they were under the ship, so they could naturally feel the hugeness of the Taiping. What shocked them even more was the Great Sun and Moon Flag flying on the Taiping.
At this moment, the sailors on the ship and the Ming soldiers who came with the ship were lined up in neat rows and stood solemnly along the side of the ship. The sailors' uniforms were white, and the uniforms of the warriors were black, black and white, forming a sharp contrast, but gave people a stronger visual impact.
What made Yu Rongguang feel incredible was that there was no offensive weapon on the Taiping that entered the port. He had seen the former Taiping, the dark thunder fires and the trencher with long arms, which had a strong shock to the enemy, but now, they could not be seen.
Where is the legendary new weapon? Yu Rongguang looked left and right, but saw nothing.
A huge springboard was put down from the deck, and an officer trotted from the deck towards Yu Rongguang.
"Sir Yu, right?" the officer said with his fists.
“That’s right.”
"Mr. Ning asked Lord Yu to get on the ship to discuss matters." The officer looked at Yu Rongguang and said, "As for the others, let's go back."
Yu Rongguang nodded and turned to the person behind him and said, "Everyone, return to his post, perform his duties and do things with all his heart. The power of the Great Dawn has arrived, and the clown will not have much future."
As the officer walked up to the Taiping step by step until he stood on the deck, Yu Rongguang finally saw the strings of the ship, the dark cannons were arranged in a dense and neat manner.
"This is..." He pointed at the artillery and looked at the officer with inquiring eyes.
"Mr. Yu, Minister Ning is in the command room on the top floor of the ribbon." The officer smiled and refused to answer.
Yu Rong nodded gloriously, and as the officer climbed up one by one, he would see the same situation on each floor. Although he didn't know what these were, since he could replace the thunderbolt cannon and the trencher, then he would have no need to think that his power would be stronger than them.
"Master Yu." Ning Zeyuan stood at the door of the command cabin and held his fists to welcome him. The Ming Dynasty has always respected those officials who were far away from the local government and expanded their territory for the Ming Dynasty. This is not something that anyone can watch. Staying away from the local government, staying away from the familiar environment, and staying away from his relatives is a cruel thing in itself, and Yu Rongguang stayed in Yangang for seven or eight years.
"I have met Mr. Ning!" Yu Rongguang worshiped and bowed to the ground. Yu Rongguang was in Yangang, and he could be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people, second only to Lei Wei, but in front of Ning Zeyuan, there was a lot of difference.
"Master Yu, please get up quickly." Ning Zeyuan pulled Yu Rongguang up, "Thank you for your hard work. This time Ning came here, and I would like to ask you for more trouble. "
Holding Yu Rongguang's hand, he walked into the command cabin.
"Mr. Ning, General Lei is now in Pattaya, and the situation is very critical. The supplies we send to him are really limited. In the past two months, I have been worried about the news of his entire army being destroyed. If that is the case, Yu will really be redeemed for his crimes if he dies."
"Lei Guard is not that incompetent. Even if he can't fight Pattaya, there is no problem for self-protection." Ning Zeyuan smiled and waved his hand. "Will the news we are about to arrive have been sent?"
"The news has spread, but Yu is really not sure whether he can reach their place." Yu Rongguang shook his head and said.
"It's okay!" Ning Zeyuan smiled and said, "At that time, he will naturally know. With his agility, he should know how to do it. By the way, have we prepared all the supplies we need?"
"According to the requirements of the court, everything has been prepared, and above the specified number, it has increased by 30%. "Yu Rongguang hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth: "Don't blame Mr. Ning. Although I know that our Ming Dynasty will win, I really don't know how long it will take, so I set it in a wide range."
"What's so weird about this? This is what you do with your heart!" Ning Zeyuan said: "But one thing you really guessed wrong. It won't take long this time, and it will even be fast. But we will stay here for a long time because there are other things to do."
Yu Rongguang was stunned, "Mr. Ning meant that the chaos here would be completed in a very short time?"
"The time to defeat the opponent will be short, but it may take longer to complete the imperial court's instructions. Perhaps in the future, more warships will arrive here!" Ning Ze walked far away.
Yu Rongguang was silent for a while, "Is it because of the west side? All this is still speculation."
"This is the emperor's judgment." Ning Zeyuan said decisively: "So no one will doubt this. People from the west will definitely come, so this time, what we have to do is to cut the mess quickly."
"I understand!" Yu Rongguang said: "What do Minister Ning needs me to do now?"
"I will issue a convening order in my name. Within the specified time, the island countries in this area that did not come to Yangang to attend this meeting will become our target."
"Including Manila?" Yu Rongguang asked in surprise.
"Do you think Luo Yishui and the others won't come?" Ning Zeyuan asked back: "Don't worry, they will come. If Luo Yishui doesn't come, Chen Ci will definitely come."
“So this time it’s more targeting Pattaya?”
"Yes, we still have to unite the majority of people. Your Majesty believes that the cost of completely integrating this sea area under the rule of the Ming Dynasty is too high, so we still have to use barbarians to control barbarians. But for the stinger head, we must completely destroy them. After this time, Pattaya will no longer exist, and this island country will be assigned to those obedient island countries by us." Ning Zeyuan stood up and poked Pattaya's location with his finger.
"With Pattaya, Manila will be the only one in the world."
"As long as Kanu is in our hands, we can change people at any time." Ning Zeyuan said grimly: "After this battle, I believe Luo Yishui will know very well what position he has in the Ming Dynasty. Become a tool for the Ming Dynasty to rule this sea area overseas. He will be rich and prosperous, otherwise, he will continue to wander west. I wonder if he has the chance to find a place like Manila!"
Yu Rongguang looked at Ning Zeyuan, and from the other party's eyes, he saw strong confidence. But he didn't understand why Ning Zeyuan was so confident? You should know that if Luo Yishui was forced to join forces with Pattaya, the two countries could gather hundreds of warships of all sizes, even the third-layer main warships might be twenty or thirty. With the appeal of these two island countries, it would not be difficult to win over a group of people.
Although the Ming Dynasty has a great reputation, it is far away from the ocean. More people here only know that the Ming Dynasty is a place where gold is everywhere, and can make money easily. As for the Ming Dynasty's military power, how could they have experienced it?
"Commander Ning, we only came with six warships." He reminded Ning Ze to travel far.
"I know!" Ning Zeyuan didn't care at all and patted Yu Rongguang on the shoulder: "You will see it then. As for the two families you are worried about, I am not worried at all. Luo Yishui is very clear about our strength, so he will definitely take a look first. If we struggle to fight Pattaya and are in a deadlock like Lei Wei, he might really take action. But if we take Pattaya like a wind and cloud, he will definitely be the first to come to congratulate us."
Yu Rongguang spread his hands: "As far as I know, Luo Yishui is a very arrogant person. If he was willing to surrender to His Majesty, I am afraid that the current Minister of War would be him."
"A person who has nothing will naturally value his pride." Ning Zeyuan sneered: "But now he is not nothing, he is no longer a pure soldier, but a politician. He will be more concerned about gains and losses, weigh the profits and losses, his passion, his blood and passion have long been exhausted. Lord Yu, don't look at him from the past, maybe in terms of face, what he showed is the same as before, but his heart has long changed."
Yu Rongguang was silent for a moment and nodded: "Mr. Ning said something reasonable. Now that I think about it, if Luo Yishui was still the Luo Yishui of the past, there would be no cracks between him and Chen Ci."
"Of course it's not anymore." Ning Zeyuan laughed, "I heard that he had taken concubines in Manila and gave birth to many children?"
"There are many concubines, but not the one who became his wife!" Yu Rongguang spread his hands, "Many people actually didn't know much about this. Even Chalan's sister, who was the first to have a chance to get this position. Because of this, Chalan had a very unhappy relationship with him. Of course, in Manila, Luo Yishui didn't have to look at Chalan's face. Chalan was just a tool in his hand."
