Chapter 33: Shock

After discussing the matter of cooperation, Chen Kai signed the document with Li Yu. In the name column, Chen Kai used the name of Chen Jinnan, but Chen Kai warned Li Yu, some people asked, only said that it was sponsored by friends, if it was asked by someone in the government, it was said that he had an old relationship with Feng Junrui, a general of Fujian Fubiao, in the early years.

"Why is that?"

Chen Kai and Li Yu have walked around the city, and they are all the same, but it is a bit unbelievable that he is like this in this matter. In this regard, Chen Kai's answer is that he had a holiday with a certain official in Hangzhou and found someone to try to agree, but it is still unknown whether he can say it, or whether that person will do one thing on the surface and one thing behind his back. Accidents and sabotage may occur, but it is still necessary to keep it secret for a while. As for Feng Junrui, Chen Kai only said that he was an excellent friend, and he would not be able to help Yunyun.

wanted to come to Hangzhou for Chen Kai, but he didn't do any business, and he wanted to ask someone to resolve the conflict. Li Yu did not doubt that he was there, and then naturally Li Yu was running up and down alone, while Chen Kai was behind the scenes.

Li Yujiu sought writing materials and inspiration in the market, and asked a friend to inquire on his behalf, and soon found a troupe that was about to be disbanded. Money can make ghosts grind, dissolution will not be disbanded, and by the way, he also dug up a female dan's pillar from another troupe, in Li Yu's words, this woman plays Cui Jianyun, which is very good.

Following the troupe, the things that went up and down were then unfolded, and by the way, they also bought a theater garden, the location was not very good, but Chen Kai and Li Yu believed that the fragrance of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, and the play was good, and it was the first priority to build up their reputation first.

Next, for seven or eight days, Li Yu devoted himself to the stage of rehearsal, and he handed over those trivial matters to a friend in Hangzhou to help take care of. As for Chen Kai, as an investor and collaborator, he is still hiding behind the scenes. It wasn't until the seventh day of the ninth month of the fifth year of Yongli that a shocking bad news spread quickly in the city of Hangzhou, and he had to act as soon as possible.

“…… In May and June, the captive division raised and calibrated the Siming Mountain area to carry out another round of mountain washing, compared with last year, the only remaining local Wang Shi and the righteous army were even more powerless to resist. By the end of July, Wang Yi, who had been appointed by King Lu, returned to Simingshan and contacted the generals in an attempt to share the pressure on Zhoushan. However, Siming Mountain no longer had enough Wang Shi and the rebel army to pose a threat to the back of the captive division, and even that Wang Jingluo was captured by the captive division not long after......"

"At the end of August, the captives gathered their troops and horses, and swore an army in Dinghai, but Wang Jinglue, who had never refused to surrender, was brutally killed...... The captives and the fighting Danghu Bo encountered at sea, the Danghu Bo sailors were defeated, and their people were captured and killed by the captives, and then the captives landed on Zhoushan Island in a big way, besieged Zhoushan City, stormed for several days, and finally captured the city. It is said that the captives carried out another massacre in Zhoushan City......"

These are the things that Kwong Lu learned from the people he had recently befriended. Chen Kai sighed, his early warning didn't seem to have any effect, thinking about it, it was reasonable.

Danghu Bo Ruan Jin, since the Qing army went south, until today, is almost recognized as the first famous general of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Navy. Speaking of which, this person was originally just a water battalion officer under Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, and even a pirate from the Zhejiang Sea, who surrendered to Zhang Mingzhen. However, when the Qing army moved south and attacked Zhoushan for the first time, Ruan Jin broke the fleet of hundreds of warships with four warships, so that with the instigation and help of the rescued Huang Binqing, he gained the strength independent of the Dingxi Hou Division, and his almost open naval career officially began.

In the years of the Lu Jian Dynasty, in the Zhejiang Sea and the Fujian Sea, Ruan Jin beat the Qing army and sailors again and again to find teeth, and even once there was a situation where the Qing army sailors fled when they saw Ruan Jin's banner.

It is undeniable that this person is the most capable of all the generals under Lu Jianguo, and even Ruan Jin's old boss Zhang Mingzhen is much inferior in this regard. But to put it in detail, the reason why this Dang Hu Bo was able to run rampant in the Zhejiang Sea was not because of the strength of the ship and the strength of the artillery, let alone any tactical tactics that were above the times, but nothing more than courage, a pair of courage that was willing to break the net with the enemy.

Ruan Jin's method of warfare is actually simple, the fleet is entangled with the enemy, he led the ship to approach the enemy's commander-in-chief's flagship, burned the sails with fire stones, fire bricks and other fire-causing things, boarded the ship and jumped, just to capture a thief and capture the king. Each time, when he put out this outlaw posture from the pirates, his opponent either abandoned the ship or fled by boat, and then he could enter the rhythm of pursuit, which was a great victory.

It seems easy, but it takes a lot of courage and courage. However, this is a double-edged sword from beginning to end, when luck is good, it does not need to be mentioned, but if it is unlucky, such as the battle of Zhoushan this time, who would have thought that when Ruan Jin personally threw out the fire, when he hit the sail of the commander's flagship ship, including the commander of the Eight Banners of Hangzhou Garrison, General Pingnan Gushan Ezhen Jinli, it did not ignite the sail, but also rebounded back, and even bounced on his body, burning himself to serious injury.

Ruan Jin was ignited by the fire he threw out, and had to dive into the water to survive, but was fished up by the Qing army, and died of his injuries the next day. The Qing army probably won this naval battle for a long time after it was still confused, and it won so inexplicably, except that the sky was about to die, and Zhu Yihai, the prison of Lu, really had nothing to explain.

Next, the Qing army landed on the island, besieged the city, recruited rebels, and then broke the city and slaughtered the city. At this time, Lu Jianguo, out of trust in Ruan Jin's ability, led the fleet to divide his troops to the north and south to intercept the troops of Su Song's water division and Jinhua's general soldier Ma Jinbao. The north and the south intercepted, both battles were won, who knew that Ruan Jin, who was the most unlikely to lose, was defeated. Looking back, I wanted to break through the fleet of the Qing army, but I couldn't achieve it until the city was broken.

In the Battle of Zhoushan, the Qing army won inexplicably, the Ming army was inexplicably defeated, and only those people who were slaughtered were really dead, and they were all slaughtered by the Qing army. And Chen Kai's early warning didn't seem to have any effect, but I don't know if he couldn't screw Ruan Jin's temper, or if the early warning didn't have time to arrive.

After the Qing army captured Zhoushan City, the ecstatic Pingnan generals Gushan Ezhen Jinli, Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, Meile Zhangjing Wu Ruju, Zhejiang and Fujian Governor Chen Jin, Zhejiang Governor Tian Xiong, and Dinghai General Zhang Jie, these murderers who were stained with the blood of the people of Zhoushan were busy reporting their crimes to the Qing court after completing the massacre. Hangzhou here, but from the governor's yamen, after this battle, the foundation of the Lu Jian Dynasty was destroyed, and the rest is nothing more than some remnants of the defeated army will float to the sea far away, as the governor of Xiao Qiyuan is naturally to happily know the place, in order to calm the people's hearts.

Although the intersection between him and the Ming army of the Lu Jianguo system is almost zero, Chen Kai knows very well that once this happens, many things will follow one after another, and he really can't stay in Hangzhou for long, and he must act as soon as possible.
