Chapter 1154 Chen Xiao: Are you really doing such a disgraceful thing?
Tainan, Anping Castle
Jia Heng invited the three Yang brothers and Wang Shuirong of Beijing to the hall, and the two parties took their seats again.
Shui Rong asked: "Zi Yu just mentioned chasing the remnants of Liu Xiang's troops. I wonder where they fled to?"
Jia Heng said: "They should have gone to the big island in the southwest. For the time being, we can only leave this matter to the prince and the three generals Yang to eliminate the roots. I will lead the navy to pursue Hauge's troops and prevent them from harassing the people on our southeast coast."
When the two brothers Yang Lu and Yang Ce heard this, they were very happy.
Yang Lu looked excited, almost patting his chest and saying, "Don't worry, Lord Wei, we all know the route Liu Xiang took to escape to Nanyang Island, and we will never let Liu Xiang come back and cause trouble to others."
Jia Heng said: "I certainly believe in the three generals."
Yang Lu pondered for a moment and asked: "Gong Wei, I don't know what the imperial court's attitude is towards the island barbarians of Zhou Fang. They may hinder the court from pursuing Liu Xiang's troops. Will we fight against the island barbarians at that time?"
Jia Heng said: "First be courteous and then fight. If Liu Xiang can be handed over, the imperial court will continue to trade with the barbarians as usual."
The priority now is to wipe out the remaining pirates, and then we can find excuses to invade other big islands later.
Yang Lu nodded and said: "That's the case, I'll know for sure."
Jia Heng ordered: "Li Shu, go and get the map drawn by me from the study."
During this time, he drew a map of the entire Asia, which was not difficult for a later liberal arts student.
Li Shu received the order, then went to the study room, brought the map to the hall, and hung it on the screen.
Jia Heng pointed to the island on the map and said: "This is our Dajuan Island. This is Manila. It is currently occupied by the Spanish barbarians. After Liu Xiang is captured, our navy and sea trade will make great achievements one day."
, able to defeat the Spanish barbarians."
Shui Rong looked at the sea map, his eyes flashed, and his heart moved slightly.
Yang Lu was quite shocked and said: "Who drew this chart? It is so accurate that even the small island I visited many years ago is recorded?"
Li Shu said proudly: "This is drawn by my governor himself."
As soon as these words came out, not only the three Yang brothers looked shocked, but Shui Rong also looked at Jia Heng in shock.
Are there really people in this world who are born with knowledge?
Jia Heng said: "This picture shows the situation of the islands in the Zhou Dynasty. Whether the Han Dynasty will be able to dominate the Southeast Asia in the future depends on whether these islands can become our Han Dynasty's possession."
Shui Rong said softly: "Is this what Zi Yu said about using sea divisions to protect sea trade?"
Jia Heng nodded, looked at the few people, and said, "It's almost noon. Let's have lunch first. It's also a welcome refreshment for the prince and General Yang."
Everyone talked and started having lunch.
After the banquet was over, the three Yang brothers also returned to their residence to rest.
Jia Heng and Wang Shuirong of Beijing came to the study to talk. They were seated separately as guest and host, and the servant served them tea before turning and leaving.
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, I have proposed to the imperial court that Taiyuan Island will be set up as a province, named Taiwan, with three divisions. There is still a lack of a governor. Your Majesty can serve as the governor and govern this island. I don't know your Majesty."
how about?"
Shui Rong thought for a while and asked: "Ziyu plans to use this island as a naval defense port to expand to the entire Southeast Asian island?"
The chart just now was clearly prepared.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "In the future, all matters related to maritime trade can be based on Taiwan Island to reap the benefits of maritime trade. At the same time, we will wait for opportunities to send troops to the Southeast Asian island countries, and at the same time, we will protect the merchants who go to sea for trade."
When Shui Rong heard this, his face moved slightly and he said, "What Ziyu said is true, but doesn't Ziyu want to send troops to Liaodong? If Xiaowang stays in Taiwan, North Korea will not be able to take care of it."
Although this place was good, he still wanted to follow Zi Yu to conquer Liaodong, land in Korea, make great achievements, and leave his name in history.
Jia Heng said: "Conquering North Korea did not happen overnight."
He did not expect that Wang Shuirong of Beijing was obsessed with conquering North Korea. Compared with governing this barren land, he seemed to be less famous than conquering Liaodong.
But Zheng He's reputation is not weak, and if he breaks into Thailand, he may be the beginning of the future of transvestites.
Shui Rong thought for a while, then turned his eyes to Jia Heng and asked in surprise: "Is there no other candidate for Ziyu?"
Jia Heng said: "Other candidates are mostly suitable for acting in civil affairs. There are very few generals like the prince who can take charge of one side."
In fact, it would be better not to use Shui Rong, King of Beijing, but to have a confidant sit here to make Taiwan his base. However, in the early stage, there may not be Shui Rong who can make the court agree.
Shui Rong was overjoyed when he heard this. He was obviously very impressed by Jia Heng's compliments. He nodded and said, "Since Zi Yu said it, I might as well try it here."
Jia Heng: "..."
After being stunned for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about staying in this barren land for a long time and not being allowed to return to the court. It will only be three years at most. When everything on the island gets back on track, the court will also send other officials south to appease the army and calm the people."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing is the Minister of Military and Aircraft. Now that he has shown his ability in governing affairs, Emperor Chongping will still take him seriously and appoint him.
Shui Rong nodded, stared at the boy in the python suit with burning eyes, and asked: "If Ziyu wants to use the navy to attack North Korea, at that time, can I be allowed to lead another navy to follow Ziyu into North Korea and regain Liaodong?
?”
Jia Heng said warmly: "The North Korean navy has sent ships south one after another. I, the big man, will wipe out the North Korean navy and then counterattack the Korean Peninsula. At that time, we will definitely have to gather a lot of navy to conquer."
Shui Rong nodded, and suddenly said: "Zi Yu, it's just that I am leading troops to govern the island, and the princess hopes that Zi Yu will take more care of her."
Jia Heng's expression was as usual, and there was no difference in his tone. He said warmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhuo Jing and I usually like Xin Xin."
Shui Rong looked at the young man and said nothing else.
Seeing that everything was agreed upon, Jia Heng didn't leave much water, turned around and returned to the back house.
Jia Heng stared at the slim and quiet girl. He came closer, took the girl's slender hand and asked, "Xiaoxiao, have you packed everything up?"
Chen Xiaoxing came closer and said softly: "Everything has been packed. When should we set off?"
Jia Heng said: "Early tomorrow morning, Hauge will head north and return to Liaodong. He will definitely harass the southeastern coast. In some places, the navy has been transferred here. The local guards alone cannot stop it."
At the end of the day, Jia Heng felt a little worried in his heart.
Chen Xiao said softly: "As for the matter here, everything is left to Shui Xiong, right?"
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Denglai Navy and Jiangnan Navy went to pursue them, while Guangdong Navy temporarily stayed on the island."
"That's fine." Chen Xiao thought for a while and said thoughtfully.
Jia Heng said: "I was thinking just now, would it be better if this island was left to my people?"
Chen Xiao looked at the young man and said, "Isn't Shui Rong one of your subordinates?"
Jia Heng: "..."
"I think if you can even contain him, you can get some help." Chen Xiaoyu, with a beautiful face and as cold as a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Jia Heng's head was covered with black lines and he whispered: "Don't make trouble."
As he spoke, he put his arms around the beautiful woman's plump waist and said, "If you say more, I'll accept you first."
Xiaoxiao has the potential to gradually evolve into a venomous snake, and needs to be conquered inside and out... to reach all directions.
Chen Xiaoyan's cheeks, which were as beautiful as pink petals, turned red with blush, and she said softly: "Okay, the Jinyi Mansion has just sent news that the Queen of Song Dynasty has arrived in Jinling, stayed there for a few days, and met Yan Yiliu, the daughter of the Prince of Nan'an."
When Jia Heng heard this, there was a flash of memory in his eyes, and he asked in surprise: "Yan Yiliu? Is she still in Jinling?"
He had met Yan Ye's daughter once again, and she had an unyielding look on her face. He had not seen this Princess Wei when she was in Jinling last time.
Of course, he really did not send his son to Guanyin.
Chen Xiaoyu's face was as cold as frost, and there was a hint of emotion in her shining eyes. She said: "After Yan Yiliu came here, he had no children for several years. He seemed to have gone south for treatment. He didn't expect that the Prince of Nan'an County in Shenjing City had appeared.
This matter is up to you. If you can rejuvenate it, it will be done without any hesitation."
Jia Heng showed a hint of discomfort on his face and said, "Xiaoxiao, stop talking nonsense."
Xiaoxiao really knows a lot about him. Compared to Chai Dai and other girls in the garden, she still has awe of him. When Xiaoxiao looks at him at certain times, she even feels a sense of moral superiority.
Chen Xiao snorted coldly, with a cold look in his clear eyes as clear as water, and said softly: "I see that one day their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are pregnant with your child, it won't be surprising."
Jia Heng: "..."
What are you talking about? Two big-bellied women? I really can’t stand it.
Jia Heng hugged the beauty tightly. As he spoke, he touched the girl's pink lips and felt a faint fragrance of lotus. He said softly: "Stop talking, stop talking. If you say anything else, there will be a picture."
Xiaoxiao is flirting with his sex again? Well, he is really in high spirits right now.
Chen Xiao saw the young man approaching again. When he felt the sharp aura, his bright cheeks were as red as haze, he secretly spat in his heart. Do you really want to do such a debauched and immoral thing?
Have you passed?
Then the young man had come closer, his warm and soft breath approaching, almost like a river drowning him, bringing intimacy and affection.
After a long time, Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao and said warmly: "After this war is over, I should be able to rest for a while."
During the entire sixteen years of Chongping, almost all of them were fighting in the north and south. To be honest, he was really tired.
Of course, he achieved three consecutive jumps in title, and finally became the first-class Duke of Wei.
Fortunately, there shouldn't be any major wars next year. In the northwest, the Junggar and Heshuote are licking their wounds, while the Jurchens in Liaodong are working hard to clean up their national humiliation.
Under Chen Xiao's curved eyebrows, his misty clear eyes flashed, and he said softly: "I always feel that the implementation of the New Deal may not be so smooth."
Jia Heng picked the snow pears and said softly: "How do you say it?"
"The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are relatively weak, but the powerful ones in the north may not cause any trouble. You will know when next spring comes," Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you have any news?"
Chen Xiao said softly: "I can't say anything yet."
Jia Heng gently stroked Chen Xiao's round shoulders and said warmly: "Then don't worry about it for now."
Chen Xiao leaned her head on Jia Heng's arms and said, "Things can't stop now. Once they really stop, it won't be good for you."
Jia Heng's expression paused and he said, "That's what you said."
What Xiaoxiao said is the same, if the internal and external troubles are gone, the emperor will most likely be suspicious.
In fact, the fact that he is able to rise from one rank to another is really based on extinguishing the flames everywhere.
The next day, early in the morning, the morning light dewed slightly, and the sea breeze blew on the young man's face.
Above the port, a large number of naval forces from the Jiangnan Camp and Denglai Navy were ready to go, while Shui Rong and Guangdong General Wu Tao saw off Jia Heng at the port.
After Shui Rong completes the final work, he will also lead part of the Guangdong Navy and the troops of the three Yang brothers to Manila to pursue Liu Xiang.
"Let's go!"
Following Jia Heng's order, Jiangnan Daying Navy and Denglai Navy, with a fleet of 50,000 to 60,000 men, set sail and headed north.
…
…
However, it was said that Prince Hauge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty led the Jurchen Blue Banners and more than 20,000 remaining members of the Korean navy to escape from the Taiwan Strait toward Taipei and all the way to the waters near Fuzhou.
On the vast sea, the fleet led by Hauge rode the wind and waves and gradually left the island mainland.
"Master, let's have something to eat." At this time, a Zhenglan Banner wearing blue studded cloth armor came closer and put down the dishes on the plate.
Hauge was sitting behind a long table, his face gloomy, and he roared: "Take it out."
How could he be so stupid before and not realize that those Hongyi people were fake Han people? Hateful, hateful!
At this moment, accompanied by a burst of heavy footsteps, Abata quickly entered the cabin, his majestic and heroic face full of solemnity.
Anger surged on Haug's face. He suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked, "Have the casualties been accounted for?"
In a previous battle, the Korean navy was bombarded by the Han army's Hongyi artillery, damaging many warships.
Abate said: "More than half of the North Korean navy has been damaged, and now there are only 20,000 troops. If we add our people, there will still be 24,000 troops."
After hearing this, Hauge was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is Cui Daocheng?"
"General Manager Cui's flag ship was hit by a Han cannon. It's probably more serious than that." Abatai sighed and said.
The North Korean navy followed all the way and helped command the navy, but did not want to die at sea.
Hauge patted the table with a bang, and saw the cups, bowls, chopsticks and plates jumping, and the crackling sound kept coming.
Abatai looked slumped and said in a low voice: "The Han people should not stay here for a long time. They should return to the army quickly. Fortunately, our Eight Banners Xiaorui suffered no casualties."
"Now, how can I have the honor to go back?" Hauge looked angrily and whispered.
He originally came with the mission of disrupting the southeastern part of the Han Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty, but now he has returned without success and lost a lot of navy troops. How can he see the faces of the Dorgon brothers?
Abatai said: "We won't be able to eat the food on the ship for long now, so why not take advantage of the empty southeast coast of the Han people to grab some back and see if we can occupy the Han people's territory."
Hauge nodded and said: "Yes, the Han army is definitely not our opponent on land, but it cannot be Fuzhou. There are still many soldiers and horses left in Fuzhou, and they are too close to the main force of the Han Dynasty Navy."
Shi Tingzhu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Hangzhou side is more prosperous, and the Zhoushan side is more suitable for garrisoning, advancing to attack, and retreating to defend."
Shi Tingzhu further explained: "The Ningbo Guards and Hangzhou Guards of Hangzhou Prefecture have been transferred. We will stop at Zhoushan Island and then enter Hangzhou Prefecture."
Hearing this, Hauge's eyes lit up and he said: "What General Shi said is that Hangzhou Prefecture is in a state of emptiness, and this is our opportunity."
If we can break through the capital of Hangzhou, even if we eventually return to North Korea, this march south will not be completely without progress.
Just when Hauge, Abatai, and Shi Tingzhu were planning to plunder Hangzhou to replenish military supplies, they were still unable to escape.
"Your Majesty, the Han ships are chasing us." Wu Shoujin said with a look of panic on his face.
Hauge said coldly: "Defel them off immediately!"
The people being chased along the way were like lost dogs, and Hauge was somewhat agitated.
Shi Tingzhu said: "Your Majesty, the Han army has Hongyi cannons in their hands. If we confront them, the damage will be too great."
"There are only a limited number of shells in the Hongyi cannon. After so long, there shouldn't be many shells left." Hauge said in a deep voice with a hint of anger in his eyes.
At this moment, the two generals Shui Yu and Dong Qian of the Jiangnan Navy were leading the ships to hold on, gradually approaching Hauge's fleet.
Fighting broke out again between the two sides, and the ships collided and jumped.
The soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner of the Jurchen Eight Banners were extremely brave and skilled in fighting. They withstood the bombardment of artillery fire and charged towards the Han fleet.
It has to be said that the North Korean navy and Jurchen bannermen, who had superior military strength, still caused some disturbances to the Han army.
On a ship of the Han army, a red flame flag with the word "Han" was hoisted, and the soldiers were all ready.
Shui Yu picked up the monocular telescope and looked into the distance. He turned around and looked at the Korean navy and the Qing navy that were being attacked by the Han army. He said: "General Dong, the Jurchens are working hard. They have many ships. As time goes by, we
You must suffer a loss."
At this moment, the Han navy also has about 10,000 troops. Of course, there are Hongyi artillery here, which has some advantages in firepower.
Dong Qian's face was a little solemn, and he said: "General Shui, use the thunderbolts you brought out. First, bite these North Korean navy soldiers tightly and not let them out of sight. Otherwise, they will immediately go to the island to harass the mansion.
County, with the bravery of the Jurchen Eight Banners, the guards in the prefectures and counties along the way cannot resist it."
Shui Yu nodded and said: "What General Dong said is reasonable. The Jurchens must not be allowed to land."
At this time, following Dong Qian's orders, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Daying Navy on the warships began to carry out wooden boxes one by one from the cabins and took out the Hongtian Lei.
Looking at the approaching North Korean naval warships and the Jurchen bannermen who are not afraid of death.
"Whizzing!!!"
Thunderbolts emitting black smoke flew through the air and landed on the enemy ship.
"boom!"
But there was a "boom", and as the smoke filled the air, iron nails shot out, passing through the bannermen of Zhenglan Banner and the sailors of the North Korean Navy.
In a short period of time, they actually suppressed the approach of the North Korean navy and the Eight Banners, and the Hongyi artillery kept firing at the dodging North Korean warships in the distance.
It was not until the afternoon that Haug finally resigned and retreated, leading the remaining ships and sailors to continue fleeing north.
"Let's not pursue it for now. Count the casualties and results and report them to the Commander-in-Chief." Dong Qian said to Shui Yu who was standing aside.
Shuiyu responded, and then ordered his soldiers to start counting the casualties. After a while, the results of the naval battle came out. The official army lost four ships, while the North Korean navy and the Jurchens lost more warships, probably twenty.
.
More than 1,000 officers and soldiers were injured, while the North Korean navy and Jurchens lost about 4,000 people.
Shui Yu nodded and said: "As a result, the North Korean Navy and Jurchens currently only have 20,000 people."
"This is also a large force. Once it lands on the southeast coast, it can cause unspeakable turmoil." Dong Qian said in a deep voice with a look of worry on his face.
