Chapter 242 belongs to me
"Look at you kid, why haven't you quickly thanked Mr. Yang for his help and life-saving grace!?"
Qiu Zhenhai also noticed the behavior of Yang Zhen and his eldest niece at this moment, and the meaningful expressions of others around him were naturally not missed by him.
The eldest daughter of the Qiu family is already twenty-nine years old and looks like she is nineteen years old. The lack of a good match and a suitable in-law has always been a concern for Qiu Zhenhai's family.
If Xu Guanbao hadn't been captured, and if there hadn't been a series of events after that, Qiu Zhenhai might have been ruthless in the near future and persuaded his sister-in-law to marry her to a Manta tribe in order to save dozens of members of the Qiu family in Tianzhuangtai.
The home of the rich and powerful.
Of course, at this moment, my eldest niece no longer has the worry of being forced to marry some high-ranking Manchu Tatar official or traitorous Tatar nobleman who does not want to marry, but the problem of a female high school student still exists.
Seeing his niece like this, and then looking at Yang Zhen, Qiu Zhenhai seemed to have thought of something in his heart, but he was still beating a drum in his heart at this time. He didn't know if Yang Zhen had a family.
Yang Zhen was born into a family of generals and generals in the rear guard of Guangning, the capital of Liaodong Province. Now he has become the commander-in-chief at the age of about thirty. It seems impossible that he does not have a family, but if he has a family, will he be able to accommodate himself?
Where is the eldest niece?
Qiu Zhenhai was thinking a lot, and just as he was thinking about it, he heard his eldest niece speak.
"Little girl - thank you so much, Mr. Yang, for your help and life-saving grace!"
Under the gaze of everyone, I saw Qiu Bihan taking a step back, putting a little distance between herself and Yang Zhen, then lowering her head towards Yang Zhen, and bowing her hands.
Qiu Zhenhai urged Qiu Bihan to thank Yang Zhen in person and said it twice. This made Qiu Bihan, who was blushing, heartbeating and even a little hot, unable to avoid it.
At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Qiu Bihan really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in and hide. Just on the way, her chest touched and rubbed Yang Zhen's back, and the numbing feeling came from her whole body, which made her think.
When he got up, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head. At this time, he didn't dare to look at Yang Zhen at all.
The eldest lady of the Qiu family saluted Yang Zhen, bowed to Qiu Zhenhai and the uncles around him one by one, then lowered her head and blushed, and left the place quickly.
At this time, the female relatives of the enemy family who had already heard the news came over to catch her, and led the eldest daughter of the enemy family to board a large ship not far from the platform.
It was only at this time that Yang Zhen saw the flag uniforms worn by the female relatives of the Chou family, and suddenly realized that the eldest daughter of the Chou family was actually wearing Han attire, and the etiquette just performed was also the etiquette of the Han people.
This discovery made Yang Zhen feel very happy for a moment, and he watched the eldest lady of the enemy family leave until she disappeared on the big ship in the distance.
Yang Zhen's performance naturally caught the eyes of everyone on the dock at this time.
Including Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan, who were very familiar with Yang Zhen, were also stunned. It was the first time they discovered that their commander-in-chief was actually a love-struck man!
When Zhang Guogan saw Yang Zhen's appearance, he originally wanted to make a joke and make a joke, but after thinking about it again, he just grinned at Zhang Chen, then shook his head and turned around to get the soldiers of the Musketeers to take the boat.
.
Qiu Zhenhai and the others worked hard all night, and the results were quite remarkable. At this time, on the lower reaches of the Sancha River, which was as wide as the sea, there was a dense mass of warships.
One ship after another, one team after another, the big ship towed the small boat, and the new ship towed the old ship. Yang Zhen stood on the floating platform made up of many ships and decks. Looking south, he saw a forest of masts.
, the sails were like clouds, covering almost the entire river.
Qiu Zhenhai is the boss of the entire fleet, so naturally he has no time to spare. Except for meeting Yang Zhen when he boarded the ship and introducing a group of subordinates, he spends the rest of his time running around in this huge fleet.
In the middle, he commanded the leading fleet in the front and dragged a large number of old ships behind them that were linked together and could only float along the current. They took advantage of the low tide of the Sancha River estuary in the morning and quickly sailed into Liaodong Bay.
After boarding the ship, Yang Zhenzi didn't have to worry about anything. Qiu Zhenhai was in charge of the fleet affairs, and Zhang Chen and the others were in charge of the musketeers' affairs.
The fire burning on the Iron Anchor Bay dock not only blocked the pursuers of the Tatar Zhengbai Banner, but also burned bigger and bigger due to the wind. Countless giant trees and wrecked ships piled around the Iron Anchor Bay, as well as the newly glowing green
The reedy jungle was soon shrouded in a large fire smoke.
Yang Zhen stood on the boat, looking back towards Grange Terrace and the thick smoke of the fire at Tie Anchor Bay. He felt extremely comfortable. The rewards of this business so far had completely exceeded his imagination.
For him, what is important is not what he gained, but what his enemies lost and what the Tatars lost after this trip. Under the trade-off, the effect must be even more amazing.
Although history has proved that the Manchu Tatars will not build a decent naval warfare navy for at least the next thirty years, Yang Zhen is still worried that his arrival and his use of the navy will affect the Manchu Tatar occupation.
An attack on the coastal area will change this situation.
Therefore, as long as the Mantatars still have the possibility of building a batch of naval warships in a short period of time, Yang Zhen will try his best to nip it in the bud.
It was precisely because of this that this time, the surrender of Qiu Zhenhai's men made him happier than killing Xu Erxian, Zhang Kushan, or even killing another Gushan Beizi of Manta.
For the same reason, this time, they emptied out the sailors' camp at Grange Terrace, towed away all the warships that could be towed away from Iron Anchor Bay, and took away the ships that could not be towed away and the huge logs that were prepared for shipbuilding inventory.
The fire was all burned out, which made him feel more satisfied than destroying Xiongyue City or entering Gaizhou City.
Although there are not many people left under the Qiu brothers, and if they stay with the Tatars, they may not be reused, and they may even be killed for harboring the crime of neglecting the navy in their homeland, Yang Zhen is still unwilling to take risks.
Because he knows how shrewd the Tatar pseudo-emperor Huang Taiji is and how good he is at winning over people's hearts. Once the Tatar pseudo-emperor is stimulated by him, or inspired by something, and is determined to build a navy, then it is very likely that Tianzhuangtai will
This group of people will be reused again.
When the time comes, it will not be one thing that waxes and wanes, but one thing that waxes and wanes, and once that happens, I will be afraid that it will be difficult to move forward in the future.
Yang Zhen stood on the boat, looking at the iron anchor bay where the fire was burning and the smoke was rising. He felt extremely comfortable and said to himself, now it's better. The naval base of the Manchu Tatars at the mouth of the Liaohe River is all mine.
!
Let us say that on this morning, Qiu Zhenhai led the huge fleet that had evacuated from Tianzhuangtai Iron Anchor Bay and sailed down the broad and mighty Sancha River. By about 4 o'clock, this huge fleet or fleet,
Finally, we floated along the current to the vicinity of the Sancha River's outlet.
The estuary of the Sancha River, which was also the estuary of the Daliao River hundreds of years later, had a very complex terrain. The Daliao River had carried silt and flowed and deposited for hundreds of years, forming many sandbars and islands around the estuary.
Hundreds of years later, the area experienced vicissitudes of change, with many sandbars and islands connected together and slowly turning into land.
But when Yang Zhen and the others stood on the boat and slowly passed by this place, it was still a primitive landscape full of sandbanks and tidal flats and dotted with islands.
However, if the Manchu Tatars build several forts on both sides of the Daliao River mouth now, as they did many, many years later, then Qiu Zhenhai and Yang Zhen may not be able to get out of the river mouth even if they are sitting on the boat.
Even if you can get out of the river mouth and enter the sea by luck, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses and have to lose a large number of men, horses and warships.
Because the two sides of the Daliao River mouth are surrounded by peninsulas, the river is impacted by sea waves and flows slowly. As long as there are forts on both sides, ships on the river will be living targets.
Hundreds of years later, there will be many forts at the mouth of the Daliao River. This is because the port was opened for trade and it once again became an important route for merchants from all over the world to travel from north to south.
Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Zhen and his large fleet were rising and falling on the water. When they were floating along the water, both sides of the Daliao River mouth were still a deserted wilderness. Apart from the sound of the wind blowing the reeds and the crashing waves,
The sound was nothing.
Of course, Yang Zhen would not know that when their fleet had just left the mouth of the Daliao River and entered the sea outside the mouth of the river, the Manchu Tatars and Prince Duduo of Shuoyu had already arrived with three hundred horsemen wearing white flags.
