Wheels and sailboats have their own advantages.With the help of the wind, the sailboat sails fast, but it will be affected by the wind direction and the current.The wheel boat originated in the Song Dynasty, it is said that it was invented by Yang Mi, he is not in a hurry to sail the boat, but can go against the water and the wind, which is more suitable for inland river navigation.At this time, Wang Yuncheng gave an order, the flagship hoisted the order flag, and the sailors of the Dongting Sailors immediately adjusted the sails, and took advantage of the wind to pounce on the fleet that was turning around.The sailor warship was fast, and it didn't take long for it to get closer."
Quick, catch up!"
Qian Xingzhe, an official of the Han State, looked at the warship coming through the waves and exclaimed urgently.Inland waterway shipping is not as good as sea transportation, and ships have to pass through the territory of various forces, so they are basically not equipped with weapons, and they are not equipped with merchant ships at sea, and muskets and naval guns are readily available.Inside the merchant ship, the sailors desperately stepped on the swivel, and the wheels on both sides of the hull turned rapidly, rowing the lake, trying to distance themselves.The wheel ship is no better than the sailing ship, driven by manpower, and the people will be tired, the wind will not, and after a while, the ship will slow down again."
Boom!"
A cannon rang out, and a cannonball landed in front of the merchant ship, splashing a column of water.Qian Xingzhe's heart sank, knowing that this was a warning, and the ship could not run away."
Zhang Gebu, please go to the cabin and hide!
Change your clothes and plunge into the lake!
This is the ship of the Han Kingdom, and they dare not come hard!
”Qian Xingzhe said urgently.Zhang Huangyan's expression was gloomy, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, he stood for a moment, and finally led everyone into the cabin.At this time, ten wheels stopped, and the ships of the Dongting sailors surrounded them.Qian Xingzhe immediately shouted and asked, "We are the ship of the Han Kingdom, what do you want to do?"
”Wang Yuncheng helped his helmet, and Chen Ze next to him said coldly: "There is a battle ahead, what are you doing here?"
If the ship is loaded with military supplies to support the traitors, immediately lower the planks and be inspected!
”Qian Xingzhe was a little flustered, but he still said angrily: "It's nonsense, we came to Jiangxi to collect enough porcelain, and it is not military funds at all."
Besides, this is a ship of the Han Kingdom, why should you let it be checked!
”Chen Ze was furious, "This world is all Ming, and the Han Kingdom is only a vassal subordinate, how can you not find out!"
Wang Dashuai, they are too arrogant, let people attack it!
”Qian Xingzhe immediately shouted angrily: "Do you dare to move the ship of the Han Kingdom, are you not afraid of the wrath of the King of Han and send troops to join the war?"
”As soon as these words came out, Wang Yuncheng was frightened, and he hesitated for a while, and he couldn't make up his mind.Seeing this, Qian Xingzhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Chen Ze said angrily: "Wang Dashuai, don't have any scruples.If they are let go, the Nanchang rebels will be able to get military funds, how can this battle be fought?
Rush up now, the cabin must be military.This matter is the fault of the Han Kingdom, what are we afraid of?
”Wang Yuncheng was entangled for a while, he was indeed a little worried, because of this incident, he angered the Han State, but the Han State secretly sold things to the rebels before, and now he actually wants to break through their blockade and directly send military funds to Nanchang, which is heavily surrounded, it is indeed too much, and he does not take the Longwu Imperial Court seriously.Now that he has been arrested and restricted, he is still so arrogant, which makes Wang Yuncheng really angry."
Yes, as long as the cabin is filled with military funds, this matter is the fault of the Han Kingdom!"
Wang Yuncheng roared angrily, "Give Ben Shuai and take them down!"
”The sailors on the surrounding ships immediately threw out their hooks, grabbed the merchant ships, and then pulled the ropes to make the ships come together.At this time, the ships collided, the sailors on the deck staggered, and the sailors and soldiers took the opportunity to take the wooden bridge, and the officers and men of the Huguang Sailor Division immediately jumped onto the merchant ship, forced the sailors and their men to the side, escorted them to the deck, and then poured into the cabin for inspection.After a while, the sergeant was lifted out of the cabin, and several wooden crates were placed on the deck.Chen Ze stepped forward and pried open the wooden box, revealing a musket with grease inside.Wang Yuncheng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly sneered: "What else do you have to say!"
”Qian Xingzhe had nothing to say, so he simply didn't say a word.At this moment, a group of soldiers escorted a few more people out, but it was Zhang Huangyan who was hiding in the cabin.Zhang Huangyan was wearing a scarlet official robe, and when he saw many Longwu officers and soldiers, he was not afraid or resisted, but said calmly: "Zhang Huangyan, a scholar of Wu Jianwu University!"
”Wang Yuncheng and the others looked surprised, they didn't want to catch Zhang Huangyan on the boat, and Zhang Huangyan didn't hide his identity, and directly reported to his family and asked for preferential treatment.Wang Yongcheng looked at Qian Xingzhe with an angry face, gritted his teeth and said, "You still said that you are not colluding with traitors!"
”Qian Xingzhe looked at Zhang Huangyan in disbelief, "Zhang Ge Lao~you~" Wang Yuncheng's face was gloomy, Zhu Yihai's bachelor appeared on the merchant ships of the Han Kingdom, and these merchant ships were full of military funds and were ready to be transported to Nanchang, which was besieged by the imperial court.This shows that the Han State has colluded with Zhu Yihai and has completely fallen to Zhu Yihai.When Wang Yun was established, he said angrily: "Lock people up, and report to Elder He Ge and Your Majesty quickly!"
”…… In Jiujiang, the camp spread, and the Ming army set up a joint camp here.With the arrival of reinforcements from Liangguang in Jiangxi, the advantages of the Longwu Dynasty's vast territory and large number of troops were gradually brought into play.Now, in the Jiujiang camp, there are more than 200,000 He Tengjiao's line, Shun's line, and the Guangdong army.The army recovered Huangzhou and Qizhou all the way, recaptured Jiujiang, and drove Zhu Yihai's army to the west of Poyang Lake.All this is attributed to the strength of the Longwu Dynasty, which is much stronger than Zhu Yihai, and it is also because Zhu Yujian insisted on using the plug Yinxi who lived in seclusion in Junshan.Although He Tengjiao strongly objected, Zhu Yujian knew in his heart that He Tengjiao couldn't clean up the current situation, and only plugging Yinxi could do it, so he didn't back down.After a stalemate, He Tengjiao considered that the war was unfavorable one after another, and if it continued, the Longwu court and him would be finished, and finally when Zhang Mingzhen's troops approached Huangzhou and approached Wuchang, he agreed to resurrect Yinxi.However, he only gave Du Yinxi a fictitious title of Taifu, and there was no essence of appointment, but even so, with Du Yinxi's advice, the Longwu army did not make strategic mistakes, and soon pushed the front back to Jiangxi with its own strength and military superiority.At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Yu, who was wearing a dragon robe, couldn't help coughing, and Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, was waiting with a spittoon.Zhu Yujian is already fifty-five years old, which is already considered a high life expectancy in ancient times when the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty years old.Originally, Zhu Yujian's health was not very good, and since he escaped from Nanjing, his spirit has been greatly hit, and his body has collapsed.This is also a common problem of many big figures over the ages, such as Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, who suffered a huge psychological blow after a big defeat, and their bodies collapsed quickly, and finally died.In the big tent, Zhu Yujian coughed, and He Tengjiao and other civil and military officers on both sides stood with their heads bowed.At this time, He Tengjiao heard the cough and subsided, hurriedly raised his head and glanced at Long Wu, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has an urgent military report!"
