Chapter 113: Opening the Port (First Update, Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
When Shi Lang led his troops to Yuyao, he found that the gates around Yuyao City had been removed.
Shi Lang, who was extremely suspicious, thought that the Ming army was making an empty plan for the city, and did not enter the city immediately.
Otherwise, if they rashly enter the city, the Ming army will definitely suffer heavy losses when they enter the city.
It was not easy for him to escape from the clutches of the Zheng family and defect to the Qing court, so he naturally valued his personal life more than anything else.
The credit can be earned slowly, but if the head is gone, it will be all over.
Shi Lang immediately decided to send sentinels to scatter to reconnoiter and find out what was going on.
It took a long time for Shi Lang to come to a conclusion from the fragmented information that the Ming army had withdrawn from Yuyao.
He was amazed and delighted.
He was shocked that Zheng Chenggong had become so stable and would never defend the city on land. He is happy that he can take a big credit without much effort.
Of course, when he talked about the imperial court, it became him who fought bloodily and took Yuyao back from the thieves regardless of his personal life and death!
After confirming that there were no Ming troops in Yuyao City, Shi Lang triumphantly rode into the city on a tall horse.
There was a smell of blood in the city, and the blood had not yet dried in some places.
However, Shi Lang didn't care at all, the life and death of the soldiers had seen a lot, and it was reasonable and normal for him to have a successful success.
Shi Lang led his troops to the county office, and was shocked when he saw a Beijing temple built in front of the wall.
Look at the number of these heads, there are at least a thousand, right?
It should all be the green battalion soldiers under the command of the general soldier Zhang Youfang.
This chapter is too incompetent, and he doesn't even have the ability to resist, and he is completely slaughtered.
However, this is a good thing for Shi Lang.
He can pretend to be the head of these green battalions of the Qing army as the head of the Ming army. The only thing that was a little troublesome was the braids on the heads of these Qing soldiers.
Well, it needs to be dealt with briefly.
The easiest way to do this is to lose the braids and shave the hair.
In this way, when asking for merit from the Qing court, you can lie that your hair is shaved for the convenience of transportation, otherwise the bun will occupy a place and it will be easy to hide dirt and dirt.
It's just that the number of these heads is still a little small, and Shi Lang immediately ordered the Qing soldiers to capture some Yuyao people to kill Liang and take the lead.
In troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard.
In Shi Lang's heart, the lives of these people are no different from pigs and dogs, and they are all added to his promotion.
The only thing that made Shi Lang a little unhappy was that the four city gates were destroyed by the Ming army.
In this way, he always felt unsteady in his heart.
What if the Ming army kills another horse pistol?
Wasn't his situation worse than Zhang Youfang at that time?
It was impossible to rebuild the city gate in a short period of time, so Shi Lang had to order the soldiers to carry stones to block the city gate.
In this way, although they can't get out, people from outside can't get in, which is a good policy.
Unexpectedly, his first battle out of the mountain was so easy, and he inexplicably took the credit in his hands.
I have to thank Lang Tingzo for looking at it this way.
The Governor was able to think of Shi Lang at a critical moment, which made Shi Lang very grateful.
The draught did not forget to dig the well, and Shi Lang was also ready to say a few good words for Lang Tingzuo in the recital to the Qing court, and share some credit with him.
As for the pursuit of the Ming army, Shi Lang didn't think about it at all.
First, his sailors are still under construction, and it is impossible to catch up with the Ming army's clippers with the existing ships.
Second, even if you catch up, what can you do? Zheng Chenggong's ships were strong and the guns were sharp, and Shi Lang had no confidence to defeat the Ming army at sea.
He needs time, at least to build the Qing Army's water division into a five-five with the Ming Army's water division, and he will take the initiative to attack!
...
...
After Zheng Chenggong led the sailors back to Shuangyu, he was a little physically and mentally exhausted.
What about breaking a city and a pool? In the end, you still have to take the initiative to withdraw.
The consequence of holding on to Yuyao is to trap yourself in the city.
Although he knew that this was the most correct approach, Zheng Chenggong still felt a little unwilling.
Alas, if the Battle of the Yangtze River had been able to successfully take Nanjing, perhaps everything would have been different. At least the shock to Dongyu will be great, and the righteous people of Jiangnan will also rise up after seeing this scene, right?
One wrong step, one wrong step, and now they can only hang alone at sea looking for opportunities.
Zhang Huangyan saw Zheng Chenggong's lonely expression, so he smiled and comforted: "Da Mu, don't be discouraged." At least this time we got something. Killing Zhang Youfang, the vicious dog, avenged the soldiers of Siming Mountain, not to mention, but also brought back a lot of people who were interested in the Ming Dynasty. With people, there is hope. ”
Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, what Zhang Huangyan said did make some sense. They didn't win the battle for nothing.
At least they brought back thousands of people, and these are all hopes.
When these people are reclaimed on the island, at least part of the food can be supplied to relieve the pressure of the Ming army.
"This time to attack Yuyao, I heard the news that Shi Lang is hurrying to make a warship, and wants to get a sailor who can fight a war."
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Huangyan still shared the news he got with Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong didn't care much.
"Shi Lang? There is really no one to use in the court, with such a waste. ”
Zheng Chenggong sneered: "Don't say that if you give him a sailor worthy of a battle, even if you give him ten, he won't be able to beat me." ”
Zhang Huangyan sighed: "Da Mu, self-confidence is a good thing, but you can't be too arrogant." Behind Shi Lang is the support of the entire Imperial Court, how many shipbuilders are there in Nanjing alone? These are the people who built Western treasure ships for the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then. ”
At the beginning, all the ships of Zheng He went to the West were built by Longjiang Shipyard.
Those huge ships were several times the size of today's large fortune ships, which is enough to see the skill of these craftsmen.
Now, even if their descendants do not have the craftsmanship of their ancestors, there is no problem in building some lucky boats.
Even if Shi Lang is not good, the basic naval battle can still be controlled.
"Brother Cangshui, don't worry, I know it."
Zheng Chenggong smiled, pulled Zhang Huangyan forward, and said as he walked: "I plan to rebuild a dock here to dock merchant ships." ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Huang said curiously: "Damu, do you want to reopen the port?" ”
Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Just plundering merchant ships is not enough to maintain the huge expenses of the army, and we still have to open the port." Only if the caravans are willing to station here for supplies, we can collect taxes and subsidize the army. ”
Zhang Huangyan was a little worried: "Although the opening of the port is good, but Damu, have you ever thought that there are many people and many people, and there are all the people in the merchant ships, what if the situation of Shuangyu is revealed, Shi Lang has the bottom in his heart to lead the department to commit it?" ”
Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "Naturally, you can't let everyone stay in Hong Kong. I have a relationship, and most of the people I interact with are those daimyo of Fuso. ”
Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized. How could he forget the relationship between the Zheng family and Fusang.
