Chapter 1465: Blockade

Fortunately, Chen Yonghua reacted quickly, and he quickly realized Wu Zheng's trick of taking the lead, and his face slowly returned to normal.

Looking at the prince in front of him who was about the same age as him, Chen Yonghua couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did he cultivate into such a deep city?

"Your Highness, let the ministers explain their intentions." Chen Yonghua, who wanted to understand, smiled and looked much more natural, "Your Highness also said that seeking common ground while reserving differences has the most basic consensus, and then we will talk about it...... Instead of dwelling on all the troubles after the expulsion of the Tartars, it is better to take care of the immediate matters first, His Royal Highness King Wu and the foreign ministers are here to ask His Royal Highness to fulfill his previous promise and send troops together with our king to deal with the enemy on Panlai Dongfan Island. ”

Wu Zheng was a little surprised by Chen Yonghua's reaction speed.

Yes, Wu Zheng guessed Chen Yonghua's intention, it is not difficult to guess, the Fanren United Fleet was defeated by the three major sailors in the battle of Tanhu Mountain, and the momentum was seized, so they retreated to Dongfan Island, intending to negotiate peace with Wu Zheng.

But the question is, once such a huge fleet is filled between Zheng Sen and Dongfan Island, which is only separated by a strait, it will not be easy to live, can you not be in a hurry?

In fact, Wu Zheng knew very well in his heart that with the strength of the three major water divisions now, even if he added the Zheng family water division, I am afraid that he would not have the same strength as Kerry? Thorne's strength in a fair fight at sea.

Although Wu Zheng likes to gamble, he doesn't bet on this kind of hopeless game.

But the problem is, if you don't say it, it's really not Wu Zheng's personality, so you can only drag it.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Zheng wanted to catch Chen Yonghua off guard, and he dragged it over first, or it was better to delay it for a few days, and it was better to delay it until it was over.

Obviously, Chen Yonghua quickly understood Wu Zheng's intentions, and he was not fooled.

Wu Zheng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Ma Shiying quickly stepped forward, and he said with a smile: "Our army's naval division has just gone through a fierce battle and needs to rest...... As for the joint dispatch of troops, you might as well slow it down first, how about it? ”

Chen Yonghua suddenly became serious, ignored Ma Shiying, stared at Wu Zheng and said: "King Wu's sailors were besieged by the Fanren Combined Fleet before, and when it was critical, our army poured out, and our King was not afraid of arrows and stones, and personally led the Sailors to the north to rescue, and now, the Fanren Combined Fleet retreated south, His Royal Highness can breathe a sigh of relief, but our army's sailors were blocked by the Fanren in the west of Penghu Island, and it was difficult to take a step east...... Cultivating oneself with sincerity and establishing the world with faith, His Royal Highness sent someone to send a letter to my king before, promising to help my king recover Dongfan Island after a battle with Fanren, dare to ask His Royal Highness King Wu, integrity? ”

Wu Zheng had to open his eyes and coughed dryly, "Of course." ”

Mo Zhinian, Ma Shiying and the others' faces changed, this "of course" directly dragged the General's Mansion into the war again, or a naval battle with a huge disparity in strength and could not control the situation of the war, they all knew that the General's Mansion could no longer afford such a sea battle, the most terrible thing was that if ...... If you lose, it will be a disaster for your own forces, a disaster that cannot be redeemed.

Chen Yonghua chased after him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for keeping your promise...... Dare to ask Your Highness, how many warships will be sent and when will they send troops? ”

Wu Zheng said slowly: "This king will send more than 100 large and small warships, and they will be able to go south in five days ......." ”

These words triggered a great reaction from everyone in the room, but the reaction was different.

Mo obsessed and hurriedly shouted: "The prince can't ......!" ”

Wu Zheng raised his hand to stop Mo Zhi.

Chen Yonghua's face was indignant, more than 100 large and small warships?

Why?

In the face of a combined fleet of more than 1,000 warships, do you stuff the enemy's teeth?

"His Royal Highness King Wu ......!" Chen Yonghua shouted.

However, he was also stopped by Wu Zheng raising his hand.

Wu Zheng asked with a smile: "Fu Fu thinks that even if this Wang Shui Division is exhausted and joins forces with the Yanping Wang Shui Division, what is the probability of defeating the Fanren fleet?" ”

Chen Yonghua paused and replied without hesitation: "Sancheng." ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No, Yicheng." ”

Chen Yonghua said solemnly: "Even if it is a success, it must be beaten, rather than humiliating and snorting, it is better to fight to the death...... Perhaps a miracle ....... ”

"Huh." Wu Zheng raised his head and laughed.

Anyone can hear the irony in this that cannot be concealed.

Chen Yonghua said in a stunned voice: "Did the foreign minister say it wrong...... Why is His Royal Highness King Wu mocking me? ”

Wu Zheng said: "You, or the king of Yanping want to send him to death, but this king doesn't want to stop him, but this king doesn't want to know that it is a dead end, and he still hits ......." ”

"You ......." Chen Yonghua was furious and pointed at Wu Zheng.

Ma Shiying shouted: "You dare to be rude?!" ”

Behind Wu Zheng, Lu Jincai stepped forward, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Wu Zheng.

"Don't get me wrong, this king has no intention of derogating you and the king of Yanping, but he doesn't agree with your approach, when the enemy is the most powerful, you should avoid its edge...... Isn't that the art of war? ”

Chen Yonghua glared at Wu Zheng and said: "Then drag it out like this, Your Highness knows that it is difficult for our army's sailors to go east out ......of Penghu Island now, and all the merchant ships that come and go except for each other have been detained." ”

"The king knows." Wu Zheng said lightly, "Do you know that there is a saying that there is a kind of victory called retreat, and there is a kind of defeat called occupation?" ”

Chen Yonghua shook his head blankly, but began to think.

Wu Zheng continued: "This king thinks that there is another kind of attack, which is called encirclement! ”

Chen Yonghua suddenly perked, "Your Highness is saying...... Siege? No, no, how to besiege the huge Dongfan Island? This requires at least three or five thousand warships...... I'm afraid it can't be done. ”

Wu Zheng smiled, "Then the king added another sentence, there is a kind of encirclement, called blockade!" ”

"Blockade?"

"If you can't beat it, why fight it? If you can't surround it, why not try to block it? I'm afraid the aborigines of Dongfan Island can't afford to support more than 8,000 Dutch people and more than 1,000 soldiers on warships, right? ”

Chen Yonghua finally understood what Wu Zheng meant, and he was pleasantly surprised: "I...... The foreign minister understood that His Highness meant to cut off the trade between the enemy and the merchants of the enemy country and the interior. ”

"Yes." Wu Zheng waved his hand casually, "Don't try to defeat an enemy you can't defeat, but you can find a way to dismember it, drag it down, and keep it awake at night...... Naturally, it died. ”

Chen Yonghua suppressed his excitement and asked, "But the enemy can get supplies from Malacca, Luzon and the surrounding areas." ”

"This is the intention of this king to send more than 100 warships south, to convey to the king of Yanping, to intercept the merchant ships of various countries...... But it is better not to hurt people's lives and only arrest the ship. ”

"What if the enemy fleet attacks?"

Wu Zheng glared and said, "Do you want this king to teach you to escape?" When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance, and the attack is the top, and the engagement is the bottom...... These sixteen characters can be paraphrased in the king of Yanping County. ”

Chen Yonghua solemnly dressed and said solemnly: "The students have been taught." ”

Then he saluted, "Please send troops according to what you said before, and the foreign ministers will pass on the original words of His Royal Highness King Wu to my king word for word." ”

Wu Zheng raised his hand and beckoned, "This king reminds you, you must beware, the anthill bursts the embankment!" ”

Chen Yonghua was stunned, and then nodded vigorously.
