Chapter 142: Meeting Ceremony (Part 2)

"The night before yesterday, the red-flag pirates broke out, set fire to the king's warships, burned a large number of ships, and then left Guangzhou. When I inquired about it, I heard that it was Liang Biaoqiang and other thieves who surrendered to the Tatars and killed Li Yuanyin's Chinese army in high spirits and Wangjie.

The Guangzhou Navy's vitality has been severely damaged and it can no longer effectively control the water surface of the Pearl River."

After asking for a few words, the officer surrendered. Chen Kai and Lin Cha looked at each other, and they could clearly see some happiness in the latter's eyes. When Li Chengdong entered Guangdong, he was like Shi Fu, Shi Lang, and Lin Cha. Such Fujian celebrities

Everyone in the army was trampled under his feet, and now the situation has changed. Shi Lang can laugh at Li Chengdong and his generals as much as he wants in Chaozhou, and Lin Cha is naturally happy to watch Du Yonghe's jokes.

However, watching jokes is not the purpose of Chen Kai's trip. At least he is not so boring, and he also believes that Lin Cha, who can achieve what he has today, is definitely not such a boring person.

"Marquis Lin thinks Liang Biao is a thief, well, how is his level?"

"It's just a chicken and a dog."

"That's good."

Chen Kai and Lin Cha smiled at each other, and then went about their own business. Two days later, the Fujian Navy fleet, also composed of hundreds of warships, left the port where it docked and quickly disappeared into the Pearl River Estuary.

above the sea.

As Lin Cha's subordinates said, the Guangzhou Navy's strength was greatly damaged after this battle. Not only were the ships burned, but the casualties among the soldiers were also considerable. Today, there are more than a thousand ships in Guangzhou and its nearby docks.

, but they are basically merchant ships and fishing boats owned by local merchants and common people. Even if they are modified, they cannot compete with the red flag pirate warships on the Pearl River waterway in terms of speed, gun positions and many other aspects.

On the pier originally occupied by the navy, officers are organizing manpower to repair the pier and salvage sunken ships and artillery to maximize the recovery of losses.

Guangzhou was in ruins, and the red flag pirates sailed away and settled in the East and West continents. Here, as the Qing army moved south, Zhang Daoying of Anbo, the commander of the Dongguan Army, and Zhang Shan, who joined the army in Dongguan, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and fell under the control of the Qing army.

There were Qing troops stationed nearby to help protect the navy. However, there were suddenly more than a hundred large and small warships on the dock. Shang Kexi also sent Xu Erxian, the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the Pingnan Palace, and the Chinese army to the dock nearby.

Sheng Dengke supervised the construction of ships and recruited naval forces, and he was so busy that he was in full swing.

When the Red Flag Pirates first surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they only had more than a hundred warships, but in order to please their new masters, they were busy dispatching ships to patrol the Pearl River waterways, and they always wanted to create an impression of diligence.

Liang Biaoxiang set off on his own ship, accompanied by about a dozen boats. It didn't need to be too many, just to act as a deterrent. The boat went down the Dongjiang River. On the Dongjiang River, in peacetime, fishing boats cast nets and fishermen darned on the shore.

I couldn't find half a cent. Liang Biao knew very well that the Qing army recruited naval forces. They said it was recruitment, but in fact they simply sent troops to sweep away the fishermen along the coast and put them into camps. That was it. But for him, this was not a problem.

There’s nothing that can’t be seen. Isn’t this what troubled times are like?

The fishing village was dilapidated and the land along the coast was gradually becoming deserted. The fleet sailed slowly past as it did yesterday and the day before. After bypassing a river center island, it set off to return and ended today's cruise mission. Looking at the unchanging scenery around him, Liang Biao

Xiang was already a little sleepy, so he simply went back to the cabin to rest. However, he had just fallen asleep, and while he was having sex with a popular girl in Guangzhou City in his dream, he was getting closer and closer to the mouth of the Dongjiang River where it merges into the Pearl River.

The ship suddenly discovered a group of about ten Ming warships slowly sailing in.

"Commander, there are Ming army warships ahead."

"How many?"

"A dozen ships."

"Very good!"

After hearing this answer, Liang Biaoxiang immediately got up from the bed. He was worried that he would not have any new skills to please Shang Kexi. Someone came to give him a pillow while he was dozing off. But then he thought about the Ming army's ships.

The number seems to be too high, and there is no stable chance of winning. Simply release the ringing arrows and flags to attract the pirates in the dock to follow.

"Go up first, entangle the Ming army, and wait for backup."

The fleet raised its sails, and the wind blew the sails forward tightly. The ships suddenly accelerated and headed straight for the Ming fleet in the distance.

However, it seemed that the Ming army was just here to investigate. They watched the Qing army turn the rudder, draw an arc on the river, and then follow the direction of the Pearl River without even the slightest hesitation. However,

With this turn, the distance between the two sides had become very close, and even the small bow gun of Liang Biao's ship could easily reach the tail of the Ming warship.

"Come up and beat me!"

Liang Biao was in high spirits, and the ships were chasing after the sound of shelling. At this time, the Ming army's sailors seemed to be either panicking or slightly inexperienced. Even though the draft was not deeper than that of the Qing army's navy, their speed always increased.

Can't get up.

The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed during the chase. The Qing navy had already forgotten the word entanglement and launched a mad pursuit. On the Dongjiang River, more Qing ships also filled up their sails.

They chased after him, lest they miss this achievement.

The distance was still shrinking, and Liang Biaoxiang had even imagined the frightened look on the Ming army's face. But at this moment, a loud arrow from the Ming army's ship in front flew into the sky, and the back of Jiangxinzhou not far away was formed by a series of buildings.

Behind the hill, the cannon sounded, and the ships, which were far larger than the Qing navy, set sail, and the leader of them even flew the flag of Fu Ming Hou Lin.

"Lin Cha!"

Prime Minister Liang Biao couldn't figure out why Lincha, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army and Fu Ming Dynasty, who had disappeared for several years, suddenly appeared here, and looking at the ship, it seemed to be even more powerful than before.

"You've been fooled, let's go!"

This strategy of luring the enemy does not require any discerning person at all. Anyone who is not blind can easily see it. The Ming army figured out their cruising pattern and then set up a trap. Now that they have fallen into the trap, the Ming army will not close the trap.

If I escaped before, it would really be a dead end.

Liang Biaoxiang screamed, and the Qing fleet did not need any orders. These former pirates turned around and left without hesitation. As a result, the Ming army that had lured the enemy began to turn around and pursue them, and the ambush Ming army was even more direct.

They were about to pounce on them in a daze. The former was okay, but the latter to the Qing army was like a replay of the scene that just happened at the mouth of the Dongjiang River.

The chase scene was re-released in a different direction. Chen Kai and Lin Cha stood on the ship together, looking at the figures of the Qing army escaping in panic under the pursuit of the Ming army's artillery shells, but they couldn't help but laugh.

"Chen Shenjun has already thought of it?"

"I think I've probably thought of it."

On the Pearl River, the Ming fleet chased the Qing navy, and the artillery shells were like whips driving them away, driving the Qing army back along the route they came from.

The east wind is still the same, and the pursuit and escape from south to north, under the control of the angle of the hard sail, can still maintain a speed that is not too slow. Liang Biao has been in the Guangdong Sea for a long time and knows Lin Cha’s methods, let alone

At this moment, the Ming army already had an overwhelming advantage. Looking back, with the roar of artillery shells, Liang Biaoxiang always felt that time seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, as thick as a pot of porridge. At first,

It is still rolling and boiling. By now, the water is probably almost dry, and even the bubbling has slowed down by half a beat. Maybe after a while, they will completely sink under the Pearl River and never be able to rise again.

Wasted.

Constantly urging, the ship finally returned to the mouth of the Dongjiang River before being completely overtaken by the Ming army. The reverse current and the headwind were very disadvantageous for the Qing army, but after thinking about it, as long as there was no

After being overtaken by the Ming army, it will naturally be more difficult for the Ming army's larger warships to catch up with them on such a channel.

There was no time to hesitate. The fleet sailed into the Dongjiang River. Fortunately, it was still some distance away from the Ming army. Liang Biaoxiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But at this moment, when he turned around again, there was a larger force in the distance of the Dongjiang River.
