Chapter 408: Transferring to the South (Fourth Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )

Shi Lang also had nowhere to vent his anger, and he was so angry by Ma Fengzhi that he exploded in an instant.

"What does Admiral mean by this? When I first hit Nanjing and Zhenjiang, everyone said yes. Why is it that now that the defeat has become a matter for the general? This is a bit unrighteous, isn't it? ”

Shi Lang sneered at each other,-for-tat, and Ma Fengzhi was not polite.

"Haha, General Shi, what does this mean to fight?"

Ma Fengzhi is not afraid of Shi Lang now, his troops are not less than Shi Lang, Chongming Island is his territory, and Ma Fengzhi has the advantage if he really wants to fight.

"Then I'm afraid Admiral will be disappointed. Shi is a person who focuses on the overall situation. ”

Shi Lang's words amused Ma Fengzhi.

Focusing on the big picture?

The implication is that Ma Fengzhi is a person who doesn't know the general situation?

"If General Shi says so, then Chongming Island doesn't welcome you!"

Of course, Ma Fengzhi's sudden turn on Shi Lang was not a whim, but the result of careful consideration.

Shi Lang not only has no use value now, but will attract Zheng Chenggong's crazy revenge.

After all, Shi Lang once slaughtered the city of Zhoushan and formed an irreconcilable blood feud with Zheng Chenggong.

The relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang is endless, Shi Lang is in Chongming Island for a day, Zheng Chenggong may come to fight, and Ma Fengzhi will not be able to sleep steadily.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed Ma Fengzhi's ghost for a while, eager for quick success.

But it's not too late to wake up.

As long as Ma Fengzhi draws a clear line with Shi Lang and puts all the responsibility on Shi Lang, the problem will not be big.

It's a big deal to give Zheng Chenggong a gift of money and apologize sincerely.

No matter how bad it is, you can sacrifice Chongming Island. This sincerity should be enough.

Hearing this, Shi Langzhi was stunned.

It is said that bitches are ruthless and unrighteous, how can this Ma Fengzhi be worse than a bitch?

How did he say such brazen words?

"Good, good, good!"

Shi Lang said three good words in a row, which calmed down the anger in his heart a little.

"Now that Admiral has figured it out, let's see! However, Shi has a word to remind Admiral Ma that this Zheng Chenggong is not as easy to fool as you think! ”

Then he brushed his sleeves and left!

...

...

Yu Qi stood on the deck and looked at the gradually disappearing land, very stunned in his heart.

Dengzhou, is this going to say goodbye?

Although he was very reluctant, Yu Qi still had to leave.

The encirclement and suppression of 50,000 or 60,000 Eight Banner soldiers plus more than 100,000 green battalion soldiers is impossible for their coalition army to withstand no matter what.

Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to transfer before the Qing army arrives.

What made Yu Qi a little proud was that he not only transferred the entire army, but also some of the people.

Nearly half of the people were reluctant to leave their homeland and chose to flee to the hills and low mountains east of Dengzhou.

They fled and scattered, and even if the Tartars came, they would not be easy to find.

There should still be no problem with survival.

The rest of the people were taken to the ship by Yu Qi.

More than 300 fortune boats, sand boats, and nearly 1,000 fishing boats sailed on the vast sea full of people with the hope of survival.

In order to carry people to the greatest extent, Yu Qi only carried half a month's rations.

In other words, if they do not arrive in Zhejiang or Nanjing within half a month, someone will start starving.

It stands to reason that there will be no problems, after all, it only takes more than ten days for a fast-moving ship to travel from Zhejiang to Beijing, and Yu Qi has already made a fortune.

Gan Hui also feels that it is a tailwind now, and if it is fast, it may be possible to reach Chongming Island in seven or eight days.

On the whole, this transfer is relatively successful, and there is still a chance to turn the tables if people have lost ground. As long as people are there, there is hope.

"General Yu, there is an island in front of you called Bison Island, and there are a few fishermen living on the island."

Gan Hui said like a treasure.

Yu Qi sighed with emotion: "General Gan Hui is really well-informed. ”

Gan Hui laughed and said: "What is this, it's nothing more than running a lot by sea, and I have written down some of them." However, we have just set off and do not need supplies, if it is a long voyage, then there is a small amount of fresh water on this island, which is a lifesaver. ”

"General Gan, are we really going to Ningbo this time?"

"Not necessarily, it depends."

Gan Hui paused and said, "Ningbo is also fine, and Nanjing is also fine." In short, it has to be a place controlled by the Ming Dynasty. For example, Huai'an, Yangzhou, and southern Zhejiang are all under the control of the Tartars, and they must never go. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince was in a hurry to return to Nanjing because he was worried that Shi Lang would go to a sneak attack, so I hope there will be no trouble."

In fact, Gan Hui was still very worried in his heart, because he knew Shi Lang too well.

Shi Lang is scheming, and he will repay it.

As long as he is allowed to seize the opportunity, he will definitely retaliate.

"It should be fine, right?"

Li Shishi frowned and said, "If Shi Lang wants to fight, he can only take advantage of the time when His Royal Highness King Zhong has not returned, this is too risky, right?" ”

"Shi Lang will take this risk, he is a gambler."

Gan Hui analyzed: "Hangzhou and Nanjing, he will definitely choose one to fight." ”

"Ah, General Gan Hui, look, there are a lot of ships there!"

Wang Er Mazi suddenly discovered something, and pointed to the black dots looming in the distance and exclaimed.

Gan Hui instinctively became alert.

It's not a good thing to meet a fleet of ships on the sea.

Either pirates or enemy troops, the probability of merchant ships is extremely low.

After all, the world is chaotic now, and merchant ships like to go to the South and the West when they go to sea, and they don't like the route to Japan in the north.

"Order the soldiers to prepare for battle!"

In any case, it is still necessary to prepare for combat in advance.

"Adjust the muzzle!"

"Set sail!"

"Full sails!"

"Turn the rudder left!"

Under one command, the Ming army's fleet was adjusted.

It wasn't easy, after all, they were a fleet of hundreds of ships, and it was too difficult to turn.

However, the main warships must adjust their direction, and if a naval battle breaks out, they are the hope of victory for the Ming army.

Don't be a Qing army!

Gan Hui said secretly in his heart.

It's not that he was afraid of Tartars, but in fact, there were a lot of fishing boats in this fleet, which greatly affected the efficiency of the Ming army's operations.

How can you let go of the fight!

The other party also seemed to notice the Ming army, and after a moment of hesitation, they quickly turned around and fled towards the open sea!

At this point, Gan Hui's hanging heart can be considered to land.

It turned out to be a pirate!

Generally speaking, pirates have their own sphere of influence, and they are centered on a large island and raid ships that pass by in the nearby waters.

The pirates apparently discovered that the size of the Ming army was far beyond the limits of what they could plunder.

If it really starts, they will only eat cannon fodder.

At this time, they naturally chose to escape.

Gan Hui had no intention of chasing after him, after all, their primary goal now was to reach the south as soon as possible.
