As the Han army ships gradually approached, the sharp-eyed Hauge saw the black cannon muzzles mounted on the ships, and was shocked.
The Hongyi cannon had been taken away by Liu Xiang a long time ago and equipped on his own warship. How come the Dutch still have the Red Yi cannon? So...
"not good!"
An idea flashed in Hauge's mind and he said urgently.
However, it was too late. With the rumbling sound of "Boom!!!", the red cannons on the warships sprayed out large amounts of gunpowder smoke. Then many warships of the Korean Navy faced the most powerful artillery fire of the Han army and shook violently.
Running around in circles.
Hauge said urgently: "Go quickly, go!"
As the flag was waved, the flag ship turned around and fled towards the northeastern sea, preparing to escape to the area north of Taiwan Island.
The ships carrying 30,000 to 40,000 North Korean naval forces were exposed to the firing range of the Hongyi cannon.
Cui Daocheng also struggled to direct his men's ships to evacuate. However, at this moment, a harsh scream suddenly came from high in the sky, and then a cry of surprise rang in his ears.
"boom!"
Sawdust flew in all directions on the deck. Cui Daocheng groaned in pain, covered his bleeding neck, and fell to the ground.
And this is just the tip of the North Korean navy's exposure.
In fact, if Hauge knew that this was just a naval force of the Jiangnan Camp, he would definitely not have fled, but would have chosen to fight the Han army to the death, even if he had to suffer such heavy losses.
But the panic after the ambush made this brave and capable Jurchen prince lose his former calmness.
At this moment, Jia Heng dispatched his generals and boats to pursue the North Korean navy all the way.
The Han army's ships fired more than a dozen Hongyi cannons, and bullets fell on the wooden warships one after another. In a short time, dozens of ships were hit.
Although the North Korean Navy continued to fight back with French cannons, bows, arrows, and muskets, the more powerful official and military ships played little role compared with their range and accuracy.
Looking at the entire battlefield, except for the elite Zhenglan Banner of the Jurchen Eight Banners, many Korean warships were emitting billowing smoke. A large number of Korean soldiers jumped from the ship into the sea, holding a sampan and headed towards their companions.
Go by ship.
The frost on Chen Xiao's beautiful face dispersed, and she couldn't hide the joy in her voice as she said, "The North Korean Navy has been defeated."
Jia Heng said softly: "That's how naval battles are. A defeat is a big defeat. The North Korean navy was not prepared in time, so we calculated with intention but not with care."
Then, the boat navy behind them pursued the North Korean navy in a mighty manner.
After the death of Cui Daocheng, the commander-in-chief of the North Korean Navy, other generals of the North Korean Navy led their own naval forces and followed the direction of Hauge's escape.
Jia Heng groaned and said: "All armies listen to the order and pursue with all their strength!"
As a result, the naval battle continued until the evening, until Shi Nai, the Marquis of Baoling who was pursuing from a distance, also led a group of navy and arrived at the big island.
Anping City
As dusk falls, the glowing sunset glows like brocade clouds in the western sky, and the din of the day's battle gradually dissipates, leaving only the whistling sound of the northwest wind.
Jia Heng and a group of sailors returned to the island, and the torches on the port were brightly lit, and the cheers were loud, almost resounding throughout the entire city of Relanja.
The residents of the Dutch Red Barbarians who originally had hopes in the city, as well as the Han people who yearned for the Red Barbarians of the Netherlands, were all shocked.
Baoling Hou Shi Nai said with a smile: "Zi Yu, the people on the island are really eating pots of wine to welcome Master Wang."
Jia Heng said: "Although Dayuan Island has been separated from the Central Plains for decades, most of the residents on the island are from Fujian and Zhejiang. They have a heart for the Han Dynasty, just like a child, waiting eagerly for Chunxuan."
The aborigines living in the colonies lived a life where their dignity and rights were trampled upon by the Dutch colonists, and as time passed, the harsh treatment of the imperial court faded away in the beautification of their memory.
"Marquis Shi, please go to the government office first. I will gather the gentry on the island in the hall today to discuss all matters on the island."
Today, we took advantage of this great victory to convince the merchants who used to work for Hongyi on the island.
Baolinghou Shi Nai smiled and said, "Please, Ziyu."
The two of them entered the official office at Annan Castle in a polite manner.
At this moment, the Han merchants in the hall and the Han people in the city came to greet him one after another.
If an oil painting is drawn, it can even be used as an illustration in history textbooks in later generations.
Jia Heng looked at the crowd, his mind wandering for a while, thinking randomly.
At this moment, the old man who was wearing the foreign uniform for the leader put a smile on his face and said, "Old Li Xingli, I have met Duke Wei."
Previously, a member of the Li family was detained and interrogated by the Han army who entered the city. After several investigations, Jia Heng's true identity was found out from the Jin Yiwei.
At this moment, several old men behind the old man also came forward and bowed respectfully to Jia Heng.
They are several Han merchants in the city of Relanzhe. The Lin family is called Lin Tingye, and the Liu family is called Liu Shiyao.
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Senior gentlemen, please get up quickly."
Everyone stood up one after another and looked at the young man with reverence.
Jia Heng said: "Everyone, this island is now Han territory, and the imperial court will send officials. You are all local sages, and you must cooperate with the imperial court in its governance."
All the gentry and merchants present spoke in response, and their attitudes were very obedient.
Jia Heng greeted: "Everyone, come into the room and talk."
With that said, he went ahead and invited Baolinghou Shi Nai to enter the official hall together.
The lights inside are bright and brilliant.
Everyone sat down and looked in awe at the young man in python suit sitting on the main seat.
This is the famous Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng glanced at the people present and said in deep thought: "This time Da Yuan Island returns to the rule of the imperial court, the Han Dynasty will uphold the freedom of maritime trade and encourage trade. In other words, the business of everyone here will not be affected."
When the merchants present heard this, most of their faces showed joy.
"The imperial court will use its navy to severely crack down on pirates. In the future, Damuan Island will become a port for our Han Dynasty to trade with Southeast Asian countries." Jia Heng said.
It can be said that history has opened a new page here.
From then on, the original Taiwan would become the springboard for the Han Dynasty to embark on the great voyages.
Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, if you have any doubts, you can ask them together. I will explain to you about the future development and policies of Da Yuan Island."
At this time, Lin Tingye bravely asked: "Duke Wei, the Dutch Red Barbarians have been living on the island for decades. There are also many Red Barbarian aborigines. How to deal with these people?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The Hongyi have oppressed the residents of our island for decades and will be thrown into prison and forced to do hard labor to atone for their sins."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present had complicated expressions on their faces.
Jia Heng glanced at the head of the Li family and said: "The gentry who were originally employed by Hongyi to govern the people of the island for Hongyi, if they have no blood debt, can forget the blame, but if they harm their compatriots and commit heinous crimes, I, a man
The law will not show mercy."
Everyone present heard the murderous intention hidden in the words, and their expressions turned grim. They were all worried.
Jia Heng turned around and smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, let's have a banquet."
Baolinghou Shi Nai looked at the young man and nodded secretly in his heart.
After having a banquet with the merchants on Da Yuan Island, Jia Heng also came to the study with Baoling Hou Shi Nai to talk about business.
Shi Nai said: "Zi Yu, after this battle, Liu Xiang and others are not allowed to cause chaos. Only the remnants of the Jurchen Navy are still on the run. What are Zi Yu's plans?"
Jia Heng said: "Liu Xiang's troops have fled to other islands. I intend to let King Beijing lead the troops, assisted by Zhao'an soldiers and horses under the three Yang brothers, to go to the islands to destroy them. As for Hauge and the North Korean navy, they are currently fleeing in
There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people outside, which is still a large force. If they harass our southeastern coast, the situation will be more difficult and we need to pursue them all the time."
Baoling Hou Shi Nai nodded and said: "Ziyu has thought carefully and cannot let Hauge and the North Korean navy go. If they are annihilated, our Han Dynasty can intimidate Liaodong and North Korea from Denglai, trap the Donglu and make them
Do not go to sea."
At that time, the Denglai Navy led by him will become a resistance to the attack on Liaodong. If it achieves great success, is it possible that Baolinghou Shijia will also aspire to become the Duke of the country?
Jia Heng nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's exactly what I meant."
Once North Korea's naval power was destroyed, the Manchu Qing's domestic shipbuilding level and the elite Eight Banners alone would not be enough to regain control of the sea.
By that time, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties would be blocked in Liaodong, and the dawn of victory was really not far away.
Shi Nai, the Marquis of Baoling, asked: "What strategy does Ziyu plan to take to control this large island and bring it under the rule of my court?"
If you just conquer the territory but fail to manage it well, and it may even become a bloodbath for the imperial court, it will definitely be lost again over time.
Jia Heng said: "I have petitioned the imperial court to establish a province and set up three divisions. From now on, the island will be renamed Taiwan. People from Fujian will be moved to the island to live and cultivate the fields. I think the fields on the island are rich and can produce rice and fruits.
, and at the same time, it serves as the place where our navy is stationed and Guangxing trade."
Well, if that doesn't work, just plant pineapples.
Shi Nai said with emotion: "Without farmers there is no stability, and without business there is no prosperity. It is conceivable that in five or six years, the island will inevitably be in great trouble."
The young man in front of me is really a master of both civil and military skills. Looking at the history, the final fate of the ministers of the Zhuguo who were so civilized and military... seems not to be good?
There are also some rumors in Beijing, which are beyond the scope of human ministers.
Thinking of this, Shi Nai suddenly felt worried deep in his heart.
According to historians, the reason why the Marquis has been passed down to the present in a safe and sound manner is not unrelated to the character of the three generations of Baoling Marquises who strive for merit but want no faults.
…
…
After the banquet was over, Jia Heng returned to where he was staying in the backyard, looked at the slim girl, and said softly: "It's a pity that Hauge escaped."
Chen Xiao put down the book in his hand, and under his thin eyebrows, his clear eyes were bright and clear, and he asked: "Hasn't a fleet been sent to pursue it?"
Jia Heng came to the girl's side, held the girl's slender hair, and said: "Xiaoxiao, whether I can catch up or not is still a matter of uncertainty."
"Wash away the smell of alcohol on your body." Chen Xiao stretched out his slender hand and fanned the strong smell of alcohol under his nose. He let out a light sigh and said warmly: "It's the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Hauge and the North Korean navy are like this."
It’s time to lead troops to North Korea.”
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Yes."
The sixteenth year of Chongping, marked by continuous wars and disasters, is about to pass.
Now, the war to regain Taiwan Island has come to an end, and all that is left is to pursue the fleeing Hauge and the North Korean Navy.
As for leading troops to recapture Manila from Spain and completely annihilating Liu Xiang's troops, such trivial matters were not something he, the Minister of Military and Aircraft, could do personally.
Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao and said softly: "Wang Shuirong of Beijing should be coming tomorrow. Leave the hands and tail here to him, and let's go after Hauge."
Of course, by the way, we can return to Jinling to welcome the Empress of the Song Dynasty, or... Hangzhou Mansion.
Chen Xiao looked disgusted and said: "You smell of alcohol, please don't kiss me later."
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Well, then I won't kiss you."
Chen Xiao: "..."
Although I knew I was worried about the alcohol smell, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I heard it.
"Have you decided on the candidate for governor of Taiwan?" Chen Xiao asked.
Jia Heng said: "If Feng Zheng, the chief envoy of Fujian, becomes the governor of Taiwan, he should be able to govern Taiwan well with his many years of experience as an official in Fujian."
"Fujian belongs to a large province. If he is transferred to this deserted island, it would be a derogation. He may not agree to it," Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng said: "Why don't you agree? If you are promoted to governor as chief envoy, once you manage the newly expanded territory well, it will be easy for the central government to pay attention."
"If he wants to do something practical, there is nothing wrong with him guarding Tian Mu here." Chen Xiao whispered, "It's just that it's better to use military generals at the beginning. I think King Beijing is quite good."
It's appropriate, we are here to clear out the pirates, and it won't delay your reunion with Xue'er, Shuiying, and Xinxin's family."
Jia Heng: "???"
Xueer? Can you call me?
"Another nonsense." Jia Heng squeezed the big snow pear, which immediately caused the cold and charming girl to look at him angrily, and opened Jia Heng's hand.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "The King of Beijing is the Minister of Military and Aircraft. If he doesn't want to govern in this barbaric land... In short, we should ask his opinion."
Chen Xiao said softly: "I think he will agree."
Jia Heng said: "If he is willing, the candidates from the three departments can be transferred to Xu Kai as Taiwan's chief envoy. He will be able to practice here for a few years and he will be put to great use in the future."
The harder the border is, the easier it is to temper people and the more results they can produce, which will be of great use after they have been tempered.
Xu Kai was originally the prefect, and he shouldn't have been promoted directly to the chief envoy. However, he was a civil servant from the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan had just been opened up as a province, so it was not a bad job.
Under Chen Xiaoliuye's slender eyebrows, he looked at the young man with cold eyes, snorted softly, and said sarcastically: "You can appoint whoever you want. Do you really think it's Jane who is in the emperor's heart?"
The conversation looks a bit regal?
Jia Heng: "..."
While speaking, Jia Heng stared at that pretty face, with icy skin and jade skin. The corners of his lips were raised, a little cold, and those narrow and bright eyes had a clear and cold look.
Needless to say, the genes of the old Chen family are mainly the charm of a chivalrous woman, which is very rare.
Jia Heng couldn't help but feel a little fondness in his heart. As he spoke, he moved closer to the beauty's two moist lips.
"It smells like alcohol, please don't kiss me, huh~" Before the girl could say anything else, she felt a warm and soft breath covering her, with a hint of arrogance and plunder, blocking the second half of the girl's words.
After a while, Jia Heng didn't say much else, but stopped the beauty's plump waist and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's take a bath together."
Chen Xiao's clear eyes were misty under his curved eyebrows, his jade cheeks were stained with crimson, and he snorted coldly, neither responding nor responding.
After the couple took a bath, they used firewood and fire, and they were like glue and paint, so there is no need to mention it.
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sinks in the west, and the Golden Crow rises in the east.
The next day, the sky was bright and early in the morning, and the winter mist gradually dispersed.
Jia Heng stood up and turned his eyes to look at the girl sleeping peacefully next to her. She saw a thin, fair face with rosy cheeks, and her beautiful and slightly stern eyebrows
With a trace of charming charm remaining in the corner of her eyes, she said softly: "Xiaoxiao, it's time to get up."
Maybe the war has almost settled down, and the girl is feeling much more relaxed, so she dragged him around a lot last night.
Well, Xiaoxiao can be quite coquettish sometimes.
Chen Xiao's curved eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. His beautiful cheeks could be broken by the blow. He stood up, looked at the young man, and whispered: "When is it?"
After spending so long with him on the adventure, last night... I just feel refreshed now.
Jia Heng said: "There is no time, get up early."
With that said, the two of them looked for clothes and started to put them on.
After Jia Heng and Chen Xiao had finished breakfast, they heard from the guards of Jinyi Mansion that Wang Shuirong of Beijing had arrived with the navy from the Jiangnan Camp and Wu Tao from the Guangdong Navy.
King Shui Rong of Beijing landed on the island of Taiwan. He looked excited and high-spirited. He looked at the surrounding fields and said, "It's really a treasure island."
But Wu Tao was not so emotional and looked at the young man who was surrounded by a group of royal guards.
"General, I have met Duke Wei." Wu Tao took a few steps quickly and saluted with his fists clasped first.
Jia Heng said: "General Wu, please get up quickly."
At this time, he looked at Shui Rong aside, smiled and said, "Lord Shui, it's been a hard journey."
With a look of joy on his face, Shui Rong said: "The pirates on Penghu Island have been completely eliminated. In this battle, one hundred and thirty-six warships under Liu Xiang's command were wiped out, and 21,000 soldiers were captured. For example, the Jinsha Gang
, Sihai Gang, Nujiao Gang, with five thousand members, it can be said that they have won a great victory."
Jia Heng nodded and asked: "Lord Shui, where are the three Yang brothers?"
The reason why the Battle of Penghu Island was so easily won has a lot to do with the defection of the three Yang brothers.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of time and it would not be so successful.
"Just behind." Wang Shuirong of Beijing ordered his followers: "Go and call the three Yang brothers over."
Not long after, Yang Lu led two brothers, Yang Ce and Yang Kuo, to arrive. As soon as he saw the young man in the python suit, he walked a few steps quickly and said, "I have seen Duke Wei in my humble position."
Having said that, I bowed to see you.
Jia Heng quickly stretched out his hand to help him and said: "Three generals, please get up quickly."
Yang Lu was shocked. Although the Duke of Wei was young, his men were quite strong. They showed great strength when they were holding him up.
And Yang Ce also looked at the boy in the python suit, sighing in his heart, heroes have been born since ancient times.
Duke Wei, who is so powerful in the world, is so young. Looking at it like this, he has not even reached the age of weaklings.
Jia Heng said: "The three generals know the righteousness and are able to abandon darkness and turn to the light in time. I have recommended these three generals to the imperial court."
Yang Lu said: "Duke Wei, we have committed a crime of committing a crime of committing a crime of death. Thanks to the imperial court for not giving up and giving us the opportunity to serve the imperial court. My brothers are so grateful that we will shed tears of gratitude and swear to repay the imperial court with our lives."
Yang Kuo, the third eldest of the three Yang brothers, was listening, feeling a little bored, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The imperial court doesn't want your three brothers to be so careless. As long as you open up more trade for the imperial court and pursue the remnants of Liu Xiang's army."
"The remnants of Liu Xiang's troops?" Yang Lu looked a little surprised and asked anxiously.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "They have already fled to the Southeast Asian island country. The imperial court wants to station a naval division in Dayuan Province. We will never tolerate anyone threatening the safety of the island and affecting the smooth sea trade between us and North Korea."
Seeing the three people looking at each other, Jia Heng said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the official office first."
From now on, the entire plan of the big island will need to be changed, and it can be renamed according to the place name plan of later generations.
For example, Anping can be called Tainan.
After everyone returned to the hall, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Shui Rong asked curiously: "I heard that the Jurchens' navy arrived at the gate of the big island the day before yesterday. They were defeated by Ziyu and the Jurchens fled in a hurry?"
"The Jurchens were arrogant and did not know that Dayuan Island had been occupied by our army. We pretended to be Hongyi and defeated the Korean Navy and Jurchen Navy with Hongyi cannons." Jia Heng recounted the incident.
When Shui Rong heard this, he secretly admired him and asked with a smile: "Zi Yu is really full of tricks. I don't know where Hauge's troops are fleeing now?"
Jia Heng said: "The navy has been sent to pursue it. We will have news in the next few days."
