The rumors in Li Guopei's camp shook the morale of the army, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't find out the root cause after a long day of investigation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Fortunately, Dai Xian is still self-motivated and personally handles the affairs of grain and grass warships. The rumors in the army have changed, and although Fujian does not send troops and horses, General Li can be regarded as exchanging grain and grass for a knife on the neck of that four-rank petty official. Fuzhou City is stepping up the search for the assassins of Zheng Chaoer, the chief soldier, and the whole city is panicking. The rumors in Li Guopei's camp changed again, saying that he had shielded the assassins, and that he had become an assassin less than half a day later because he had sent out his own family, and that he had become an assassin that night.

In the afternoon of the next day, Dai Xian personally came to the camp to see Li Guopei. After a long time of temptation, he cautiously asked, "I don't know if there is a general named Wan Zhang under General Li's account?" ”

Li Guopei said: "There is really such a person, but he has never come with the army and stayed at the station. ”

"Oh, oh......" Dai Xian nodded again and again, "Now the lower officials have heard rumors that the letter is from your camp. Li Guopei glanced at him. Dai Xian said faintly, "It is rumored that the assassin who assassinated Lord Zheng happened to be called Wan Zhang. ”

Li Guopei shouted angrily: "Bold! ”

Dai Xian sneered: "The general is angry, and the subordinate just inquired." ”

Li Guopei said angrily: "General Wan is thousands of miles away, how can he be pulled on his head for no reason?" Dai Xian hurriedly compensated for it.

As he was talking, a soldier came in and said, "There is a general outside the tent, saying that he is a deputy general under the command of Master Zheng, the general of the Fujian army, and he has something important to ask to see the general." ”

Dai Xian looked at the soldier and then at Li Guopei, and immediately said, "That...... Since General Li was busy, the subordinates would not bother. This is goodbye, don't send it, don't send it hahaha......" One wall said the other wall, and before the words fell, Dai Xian slipped with oil under his feet, running faster than a rabbit.

Li Guopei stumbled: "Incompetent! ”

The lieutenant sent by Zheng Chao'er naturally came to investigate Wan Zhang. Li Guopei flatly denied it, and only said that he would carefully investigate where the rumors came from. The deputy general was very good at using his tongue, and Li Guopei was at a loss for a few words, so he swore: "If there is Wan Zhang in this old man's camp, five thunders will hit the top immediately!" He said it too confidently, and the deputy general finally believed it, and bowed down to make amends. After this person left, Li Guopei breathed a sigh of relief. Because Wan Zhangwei was not in his camp, Fang Cai's gambling curse was not vain.

After this wave, Li Guopei completely lost the heart of joining forces with Fujian, and only urged Dai Xian to prepare things quickly. Dai Xian also felt that it was extremely unsafe for them to be stationed outside the city, so it was better to break the fortune and avoid disasters and send the Buddha to the west as soon as possible. A few days later, the warship, grain and grass were ready. Li Guopei was not familiar with the place, and Dai Xian sent some old pawns from the Fujian navy, these people were good at driving sea boats and could distinguish the channel in the vast water. Li Guopei then led his troops to board the ship from the port of Fuzhou. As for Wan Zhang, I don't have time to care where he goes.

When the fleet entered the sea, there were inevitably some rapids and reefs along the way, because Zheng Chao'er's sea chart was clear, the veterans sent by Dai Xian were experienced, and Li Guopei was a person who listened to persuasion, so they all avoided the past without danger. Li Guopei sighed inwardly: Zheng Chaoer and his colleagues disregarded major affairs, and the chart was accurate and meticulous, which was not without merit. Although Dai Xian is a little incompetent, he does things with all his heart. If the two of them can work together with him, why worry about Jia Lian's grievances?

For a while, Li Guopei took the chart given by Zheng Chao'er and the chart he brought from Jinggangshan and put it on the table, discussed with several generals under his command to occupy Ping'an Port after landing, and then divided the troops into two routes: all the way to defend Chengtianfu, and all the way to Dajiala New Town, which Zheng Chao'er specially circled. While they were deliberating, a soldier suddenly shouted, "General! Two ships seem to be coming towards us. Li Guopei frowned: "Explore again!" He stood up, and led the men out of the cabin and onto the deck.

In the distance, two small boats rowed like arrows. The ship was not big, but it looked like two leaves in front of the warship. One of them approached in the blink of an eye, and Li Guopei was about to ask someone, when a boatwoman with a turban suddenly sang with a turban. "Fishing is a life, and there are no seedlings or hemp. The cool officials and stolen officials were all killed, and they faithfully repaid the Zhao official family. "What she sang was Ruan Xiaowu's words in the Water Margin, and she was a thief. Li Guopei ordered to "take it!" The small boat was nimble, and in the blink of an eye, it rowed away in front of Li Guopei's warship.

Another small boat came again. A sturdy man from above sang. "The red sun is scorching like fire, and the fields and rice are half scorched. The farmer's heart is like soup boiling, and the prince and grandson shake the fan. "It's another word in the Water Margin. Li Guopei shouted the order, "Fight!" And a soldier lifted up his □□ and shot at the ship. The ship was also generally nimble, and Shi Shiran passed through dozens of warships and rowed away. Li Guopei felt bad and ordered everyone to pay more attention.

Who knew that after waiting for half an hour, it was safe. Li Guopei became more and more uneasy, unsure of whose people were in those two small boats and what plan they had behind them. Jarvis of Taiwan Province has suffered for Wan Zhang, and he is the best at using the power of water and fire. Nai pondered: "Could it be that the news has leaked, and Jia Lian has taken precautions?" ”

The adjutant general said: "It is reasonable to say that it will not." Whether it is the people of Fuzhou or us, they only say that we are Fujian sailors and train in the sea. ”

Li Guopei pondered for a moment, pointed to the map and said, "There is still a port in the north of this island, so let's go around here and land." The chart reads "Chicken Coop Harbor".

The generals looked at it, and then thought about the two small boats, and they all agreed: "General Mingjian." ”

Li Guopei ordered someone to ask the Fujian sailors sent by Dai Xian to ask, and the old man said: "I have never been to this port, and I heard that it was built by Western Maozi a hundred years ago." After I opened the country, too. Grandpa sent sailors to drive away Western Maozi, and the port was abandoned as a fishing port. Later, the prefect of Jia came, saying that Ping'an Port was close to Fujian and Chengtianfu, and he vigorously built Ping'an Port, and there were more and more businessmen in that area. It is still a fishing port today. In the early years, when Westerners were still alive, there were also many Western merchant ships stationed there. ”

Li Guopei said: "Since it was built by Westerners to trade, it will not be small. ”

At this time, a general looked at the chart and said, "My lord, Lord Zheng's map is a little different from the chart on our mountain. ”

Li Guopei took a look, and the labeling of Jilong Port was a little different. The port on Zheng Chao'er's chart was farther northwest than the port on their own chart. The place marked on the Jinggangshan chart is the place of the chicken coop port, and the Zheng Chaoer chart is written on the Yeliu port; Zheng Chaoer's chart marks the place of Jilong Port, but there is no port on the Jinggangshan chart. And the topography of the two places is also different, and both maps are of the University of Chicken Long. Li Guopei asked the Fujian sailor, and the man pointed to Zheng Chao'er's chart and said, "That's right." Yeliugang is a small broken port where birds don't lay eggs, and the poor mapping master is fine. Li Guopei remembered that this way all relied on Zheng Chaoer's sea charts to avoid the dangerous rapids, and nodded. He ordered the whole army to detour to Jilong Harbor at the northern tip of the island of Taiwan.

Fujian's ships are good and fast. The fleet set sail before dawn, and dusk was approaching. Li Guopei ordered his soldiers to feast on war meals and prepare to land and kill the enemy. In the distance, I saw the horizon ahead, and all the soldiers were full of energy, and they clenched the long knives and Western fires in their hands. Gun.

Suddenly, he heard a cannon shot, and Li Guopei was startled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Just look at the black pressure gushing out of the back of a large ship, bigger than their own, with Western artillery on the bow of the ship. Li Guopei suddenly knew that the Taiwan government was on guard, and sneered: "Don't we have artillery?" "The artillery of the Taiwan government arrived first, and it rained down, but unfortunately the accuracy was so poor that even Li Jun's flagpole was not next to it. Li Guopei laughed and said, "Come and don't be rude." "Herald" fires! Li Jun's gunners also aimed at the sea ships of the Taiwan government and opened fire. The artillery of the Li army was also not accurate, and it fought for a long time, but not only did it not hit the ship of the Taiwan government, but it was also very biased. The Taiwan government is getting more and more energetic, and it doesn't want money to smash shells, but it is still inaccurate.

Li Guopei saw that his subordinates were old and couldn't beat accurately, so he was anxious and scolded. Nai Qin came to the bow cannon and kicked the artilleryman: "What the hell are you eating!" ”

The artilleryman said calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, the crosshairs of their artillery are crooked." The lowly position has already felt the pattern. ”

Li Guopei stumbled: "Where did they buy the things!" "Immediately ordered the artillery of all ships, and the artillery crosshairs are probably not good. After a while, news came back from the ships, and all the artillerymen found out about it, and they were all groping for attention. Li Guopei sighed, "It's all the old man's." I was in a hurry, but I didn't let everyone test these guns. ”

After a short time, all the gunners felt the temper of the artillery, and gradually hit the left side of the warship in Taiwan. Li Guopei laughed: "Okay! It was too late, and then it was too fast, and a cannon "thumped" down beside his warship, startling the old fellow. Looking at the artillery of the Taiwan government again, it seemed that they had also found the crosshairs, and the mast of the ship next to them was hit first. Artillery rained down. The soldiers came to report that another ship had been hit. Before Li Guopei could ask for details, the flames were already raging.

Li Guopei hurriedly "Fight!" Concentrate fire on their head ship, which is flagged. Several of Li Jun's ships immediately abandoned the target next to them, and the artillery brushed their hands to aim at the largest ship in Taiwan. Although there were many enemy ships, only one of them was flagged, and the flagpole was marked with the word "Wu". In a few moments, a cannonball hit the bow of the ship. The artilleryman seemed to be frightened, and even left the cannon and ran away! Li Guopei laughed when he heard the news.

After a few laughs, there were soldiers back and forth: their own ship was badly damaged. Li Guopei is in a hurry, and he will fight again! The ship with the flag of "Wu" let Li Jun bombard it for a long time, and it was about to sink. At this moment, all the Taiwanese warships that had wrapped Li Jun in a semicircle suddenly hung up big flags, and all of them were "Wu". Li Guopei originally thought that the enemy leader must be on that ship, but the enemy army was not in the slightest disorder. Li Guopei suddenly snorted: "It's not good, I'm afraid I've been fooled!" "Look at the countless warships pouring up behind these enemy ships, densely packed and uncounted.

One of his generals came over and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, it's not good! The shells of those guns in the cabin, except for those on the surface, are good, and many of the rest are squibs! ”

Li Guopei yelled: "What?! ”

The general stumbled and said, "There are many squibs in the cabin!" I can't see it from the outside, and the medicine cores inside are mixed with soil! At most, it will be a stone thrower! ”

"How can it be!" Li Guopei was anxious and stomped on the ship, "Lao Tzu is going to kill Dai Xian!" ”

The Fujian veteran beside him snorted: "What kind of good thing can Dai Xian give!" ”

Li Guopei grabbed the collar of the veteran: "What did you say?" Why can't Dai Xian give good things? ”

The veteran was frightened and shouted, "Don't do the villain's business!" ”

Li Guopei gritted his teeth and let go of him: "Say!" ”

The veteran then said: "Dai Xian is the No. 1 official businessman in Fujian Tianzi, he does any business, and he loves to do business with the government the most. The things they bought from the Dai family to the government are like this, the first few things are good, and the one in the shopping mall is called a sample. When it comes to serious shipments, all of them are shoddy, and there are many times, and you can't see people at all, and the horizontal and vertical prices are still the price of good goods. He is friendly with Lord Huang, and he is willing to give gifts every day, and Lord Huang doesn't care about him. Now that Lord Huang is sick, he is in charge of the whole of Fujian. General, you asked him to give the ship and let him give things. These are not made by the government! It must have been made by his Dai family shipyard~~ Take the tax money from Lord Huang's treasury to buy the ship of his Dai family shipyard. He pointed to his feet, "I dare to say, only this ship belongs to General Li, and the management is good; The rest—" he pointed his finger out, "it would be nice to have one good one out of ten!" ”

Li Guopei couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, Sen Sen said: "Dai Xian, he dares?" ”

"If you don't believe me, just check it out!" The veteran snorted, "He even dares to adulterate things that go up to the Son of Heaven, and what else he doesn't dare." There is no evidence, and no one can take his fault. ”

"Ahh Thanks to the old soldier's dexterity, he ran away. There will be fireworks on all sides, and no one will stop him.

Li Guopei's confidant lieutenant took a few breaths and stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, since the ship is afraid that something is wrong, this place is close to the chicken coop port, so hurry up and go ashore first." ”

Li Guopei thought about it, but there was really no other way, gritted his teeth and scolded twice "traitors have misled the country", and ordered him to retreat to the shore. Although I think that there is an ambush, it is better than letting the dud bomb break through the ship's pit and die at sea.

One of the generals looked around and said strangely: "Our artillery crosshairs are not good, and it took half a day to sink only one of their ships." Isn't Jia Lian's artillery crosshair bad? Why didn't our ship sink? ”

Li Guopei was in a hurry, he didn't have time to think about it, and scolded: "Are you still looking forward to sinking a few ships?" The man was silent.

In the midst of the artillery fire, Li Guopei's warship gradually retreated to Jilong Harbor. When I got there, I realized that the chicken coop harbor was extremely small, and it couldn't accommodate so many big war ships! It's just that they can't care much about it at this time, dozens of big ships are crowded into one place, and each of them is on fire. Those who are near the shore jump to the shore, and those who are far away jump into other boats and run inside.

There is a small slope not far from this chicken coop harbor, and there are people lying in the grass on the slope. The woman in the lead looked at the port with a clairglass in her hand, and praised it: "It's not messy!" You see, every ship has let Wu You make a hole, and the port berths are not enough, so they can be withdrawn ashore in such a neat manner. This Li Guopei really has two hits. ”

The man next to her said, "Want to take it?" ”

The woman said, "Yes." It's really a master who is good at training. ”

"That's not hard." The man said to the soldiers beside him, "Pass the order to General Wu You." The military advisor has a life, and Li Guopei wants to live. "The pro-soldier in the camouflage uniform ran away.

At this time, the fleet of ships in the Taiwan government has gradually surrounded the port and lined up in a half circle.
