Chapter 702: The Sailor Engaged


On March 24, there were more than 10 warships of the Dayue Naval Division, which went up the river and met the Daming Naval Division on the river more than 20 miles away from Beiguang.

At that time, the warships patrolled by the Daming Naval Division were a total of two Fu boats, two Cangshan boats, suddenly ambushed by enemy ships, caught off guard, one Cangshan ship was captured, and the other three ships broke through after sinking two seriously injured several ships, and when reinforcements arrived, the ambushed Dayue Naval Division warships had already withdrawn, and the river was empty, and there was no longer any warship of the Dayue Naval Division.

In the battle, the Daming Navy Division killed more than 70 people, captured a warship, and more than 30 sergeants.

When receiving the news, Liu Qingqing was still in Guangping, as soon as he received the news, he rushed back to Beiguang non-stop, Beiguang did not have enough ports for the sailors to anchor, but because of the arrival of these sailors, the original damaged port and silted river were placed in the first position of the city to clean up, and now in the original location of the humble small wharf in Beiguang, a water village has been erected in a decent manner, when Liu Qingqing rushed back to the water village, the water village was a boiling mood, and the officers and soldiers of the water division were clamoring to send troops.

Fight to the death with the Great Yue Water Division.

This is too embarrassing, once in the West and the East has not been defeated in the East fleet, actually suffered defeat in this small gutter, with a great shame to describe the mood of the officers and soldiers of the fleet at this moment, it is absolutely not an exaggeration, in the ocean outside, are the world of the East fleet, in this Ming River, to fight such a battle, they all feel that they have no face to go back to the East.

"What's going on, have the Da Yue people been dispatched, how many warships are there in the Ruan Dynasty, and how much is the combat power?"

Liu Qingqing also had a gloomy face, in front of him, there were hundreds of households led by patrol warships in this battle.

These warships are temporarily "borrowed" from the Jinyiwei Overseas Pacification Division to the Penghu Inspection Division, and the establishment is still the establishment of the Overseas Pacification Division, compared with the normal sailors of the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Overseas Pacification Division is a bit huge, and the entire Overseas Pacification Division, more than 20,000 people, but only one of the three thousand households of the Pacification Division, an ordinary one hundred households, and four or five hundred people under its jurisdiction are normal.

Like the fleet that came to Beiguang this time, it is a thousand households, three hundred households under its jurisdiction, more than 20 warships, and thousands of households are returning to the Li people, but after the entire Li people from the northwest were moved to Dongfan by Dingyuan Bo, in addition to the appearance and the Ming native people are very different, basically the speaking habits are not much different from ordinary Ming people, Dingyuan Boqian is disease-free, and there is also an identity of Li Xuan Xuan's consolation envoy, in the Liren ethnic group he preached, there are some Ming officers with concave eyes and protruding noses, blonde hair and blue eyes, which is really normal.

Qianhu's name is Deng Chao, obviously this is the Han name he chose for himself, really his own name, after he used this Han name, I am afraid that only the relatives at home will call that name.

At this moment, Deng Chao also looked at his subordinates viciously, his face was even more ugly than Liu Qingqing, if he wanted to say that he was ashamed, the most embarrassing thing was not Liu Qingqing, after all, Liu Qingqing was a yamen patrol, and he really wanted to meet the battle, but he was the one who led the team, especially when Liu Qingqing broke out in the battle, he was not in the fleet, if he couldn't wash away his shame immediately, it was obvious that this incompetent hat, I was afraid that he was going to wear it.

"Qianhu, Lord Inspector, lowly and willing to make meritorious contributions, please transfer two more warships, and chase them to the ends of the earth to turn over these guys one by one" "Don't talk about this, the inspector asks you, you answer well, and repeat all the situation you told me while giving it to the inspector, what did the Lord of the Inspectorate say before leaving, this time we have to listen to the command of the inspector" Deng Chao reprimanded with a dark face.

"Yes, when I led the patrol to the river more than 20 miles downstream, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of soldiers walking on the shore, and I knew that I was the soldiers and horses of the Da Yue people in the move, so I was careless, and only paid attention to the movements on the shore of the Da Yue people, but I didn't expect that more than ten Da Yue warships had already been ambushed on the river of the tributaries on the shore, and as soon as our warships passed, they immediately poured out of the river, cutting off our retreat, the enemy soon rushed onto the ship quite a bit, and before the battle could begin, it turned into a broadside battle. ” The hundred households described the situation at that time, with a depressed face on their faces, the ships of the Dongfan fleet are large, and there are many weapons, compared to the warships of the Dayue people, I don't know how many grades higher, but, in this case, the warships of the Dongfan fleet, they have to honestly fight with the soldiers who poured on the ship from the other side, this is the home of the Dayue people, fight for consumption, how to fight the Dayue people in the Dongfan fleet, especially the Cangshan boat, it was originally configured with not many soldiers, and the Dayue people are almost moving at the high tide.

In an instant, I saw a Cangshan ship drowned.

If it weren't for the reaction of the soldiers on the two main warships, in addition to the cold weapons, the weapons equipped with were still the standard firearms equipped by the overseas Zhenfu Division, under the strong firepower advantage, these hundred households led their men to resist the momentum of the Da Yue people, and in time to distance themselves from the enemy ships, and began to use the heavy weapons equipped on the ships, such as fire dragons, artillery, etc., to support friendly ships, then the situation would be even more unbearable.

Rao is so, they don't dare to fight, can only fight a bloody way, retreat towards their own water village, in addition to the river and they fought with those Da Yue soldiers who appeared from the warship, they also found that countless small sampans, carrying the soldiers on the shore, are coming in time, Da Yue people have been preparing for this battle for a long time, with a mind or not, they fell into this trap, that is no longer a normal thing.

"It's the warship of the Ruan Dynasty, the soldiers of the Ruan Dynasty" Liu Qingqing listened and asked carefully: "The flag or something, you can't be mistaken."

"This will definitely not" Baihu replied with an oath: "Actually, we also captured a few prisoners, and the humble position has already been asked, the enemy is the Ruan Dynasty Water Division, and their general's surname is Li."

Liu Qingqing nodded, confirm who the enemy is, this is very important, the Dayue Ruan Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty, relying on this river to divide the sphere of influence, he doesn't want to have the oolong that hit the wrong person at that time, as for who is the general of the Ruan Dynasty Water Division, does he need to pay attention to it, no matter who it is, since he dares to do it to himself, then he must fight back without hesitation, this is not bloody, what kind of Ming soldier is it.

"Did you make a flag when you were on patrol," he continued.

"Yes" Baihu nodded: "According to the orders of Lord Qianhu, the flag hanging on our ship is from the Penghu Inspection Division, not the Overseas Suppression Division.

"Didn't do anything wrong" Liu Qingqing nodded: "You go down first to rest and rest, see if there is anything missing that you don't remember, if you think of something, come and report to you Qianhu Lord immediately, for the next move of our fleet, the details you suddenly thought of may save the lives of many brothers, as for the matter of recovering the field, you don't have to worry, I will discuss it with Qianhu Lord and then talk about it."

Baihu was ordered to retreat, and only Deng Chao and Liu Qingqing were left in the house, and when the sound and shadow of Baihu were gone, Deng Chao also turned his head and asked Liu Qingqing: "Liu Inspection, don't you plan to swallow this breath like this, our Zhenfu Division has never suffered such a loss, besides, we still have dozens of brothers in their hands."

"Of course it won't be like this" Liu Qingqing smiled: "This breath is going to come out, but the lives of the brothers who were captured also have to be taken care of, no matter what we plan to do, rescue these brothers first."

"Do you already have a plan in your heart" Deng Chao's eyes lit up, when it came to fighting, he felt that he was quite unambiguous, but when it came to playing with his heart, he still felt that he hadn't even touched the threshold.

"The matter of the captured brothers, I went to the guards of Beiguang to discuss and discuss, they still have a lot of Dayue prisoners, I hope to borrow some, exchange our brothers back, and wait until our brothers come back safely, you immediately lead our fleet, from here, all the way to the royal capital of the Ruan Dynasty, as long as our warships can sail through, all of them will be plowed, if they can find their sailors to fight, it is better, if they avoid fighting, then their sailors, In the future, it is best not to appear in our sight, let us tell them with our actions, from now on, everything that can be in the water in the Ruan Dynasty, whether it can go into the water or not, it depends on us" "Will this bring some unpleasant comments to the imperial court, uncle, he seems to be very taboo about this, if someone makes it bad, will it implicate the uncle" It is worthy of Qian Wuxi's consolation to make the people who came out of the palace, and he really didn't say anything about Qian Wuxi's loyalty, although Deng Chao was eager to raise two hands to support Liu Qingqing's decision, but he still had this doubt.

"How is it possible" Liu Qingqing sneered: "Have you forgotten what we are here for, but I heard that there are pirates near Dayue, and they are chasing after the pirates, and now the pirates are not only infested, but also attacked the ships of my inspection department, out of the dignity of my Daming, and to show the love of my Daming to Fanguo, this sweeps away the pirates, and also Dayue a clean water, that is our unshirkable mission, such an act, can only increase the reputation of the uncle, It won't cause any inconvenience to the uncle."

"Then ha, then I'll wait for the news of the adults, I'll go outside and press it, these guys, now it's going to turn the sky upside down, if you don't press it, I'm afraid something will really happen."

"Okay, let's wait a few more days, everything is at the cost of our brothers' lives" In Beiguang City, Sun Yulin and Sun Wan were facing each other, and they both looked incredulous.

"Little brother, you are really, the Dayue people and sailors actually dare to take the initiative to ambush our Daming masters, how long have they been holding back here and being arrogant?"

"Sister, didn't you say you were going to stay in Xinglong Prefecture for a few more days, why did you come here again?"

The two of you say yours and I talk about mine, which is quite self-talking.

"You say it first" Sun Yulin and Sun Wan spoke at the same time, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, "I'll say it first."

Sun Wan nodded and glared at Sun Yulin: "Things are done, what am I still doing in Xinglong Prefecture Shen Jia's girl is a little bigger than this sesame mung bean, but the commander is much busier, and there are almost no people in sight every day, what's the point of me staying alone, I returned to Guangping with Liu Patrol a few days ago, and I have been a guest in the city lord's mansion, if I hadn't received this emergency military report, I am afraid that I would have to be in Guangping at this time."

"Because something happened, so Liu Patrol had to come back, and he came back, so you came back with you" Sun Yulin shouted aggrievedly: "Dare to love that I don't have this brother here, I still have to remember my sister you, for fear that you will suffer from that little white face."

"What a little white face, nonsense" Sun Wan smacked him: "When the situation is a little more stable, I will go to Dongfan for a trip, and by the way, I will pick up a guest for Shen Jia and come back, don't talk about my affairs, talk about the matter of this military newspaper, if the Dayue people do it, they will definitely not be just sailors, are there any traces of the Dayue people opposite our Beiguang" "I didn't find this, the spies have been put fifty miles away at most, except for the frequent movement of soldiers and horses of the Da Yue people, everything seems to be normal," Sun Yulin replied.

"Frequent transfers are abnormal, maybe they are sending troops to fight our idea" Sun Wan was very dissatisfied with Sun Yulin's disapproval: "As a local guard, if you have this attitude, you don't know how to die in the future, I really think that relying on your thousands of men and horses, hundreds of muskets, you can resist the thousands of troops and horses of the Dayue people, the real war depends on those elite soldiers and fierce generals of the Qingfeng Battalion, these militia groups of yours are a group of peasants who are not even considered military households, don't be too confident" "Sister, you don't bury our own soldiers and horses like this" Sun Yulin shouted again, "At least, I don't think our soldiers and horses are bad at all, give me a year, I will train a soldier and horse, not to mention that it must be stronger than the soldiers and horses of the old camp of the Qingfeng Battalion, but it will definitely not be much worse than those Ming elite soldiers under my father."

"Besides, they move frequently, and they are not moving in the direction of our Beiguang" He finished calling out the grievances and explained to his sister: "Anyway, the current return of the spies, I feel that the soldiers and horses of the Dayue people are still shrinking, it seems that they are not planning to make any big moves in the short term, I doubt that some of their soldiers and horses have been transferred to other places, I have sent some spies out to see if my ideas are correct or not" "That's good, if we really fight, I won't have to worry about both ends" Sun Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, sister, your inspector, it's too boring, I introduced him to a beautiful woman like a flower to help him solve problems, he came back with you, and he didn't even come in to thank you when he passed by Beiguang, is this taking me as an outsider?"

"He's in a hurry, when he's done dealing with this matter, he'll definitely come back to see me, uh, come to see you" Sun Wan smiled slightly: "I have to think about it and see if there is anything we can do in Qingfeng Camp to help him in this matter" aa2705221 t1706231537:
