Above the East River, reinforcements and routs were in chaos on the river. The Ming army calmly sailed in, bombarded by artillery from afar, and jumped to seize the ship from near. On the river against the current and wind, the Qing army had no advantage at all, and was completely hung up and beaten by the Ming army.

The firelight attracted the attention of the surrounding area, and the left and near areas were occupied by the Qing army, and the Qing army also arrived. But when they hurried in, all they saw were the burning and broken warships, thrown on the river like toys that children were tired of playing, and many of them were stranded, and even the people escaped.

When order encounters chaos, when regular sailors meet amateur pirates, everything does not need to be repeated at all.

"Lin Hou is clever, and the officials admire it to the fullest."

Lin Cha has been in battle for a long time, in this Guangdong, is an old qualified general, the general army of Guangdong, has been with the army of the Yongli Dynasty in this Pearl River Delta region, for the water and geography, is very familiar. As for this kind of means, in fact, it is more of luck, the Qing army has sought stability a little this time, but it has harmed them, which is also an unexpected joy for Chen Kai and Lin Cha.

"Chen has a reputation for joining the army, I originally planned to catch up with some stragglers by going against the current and the wind, but since these red flag pirates are full of fists, I don't accept them, and it's not suitable."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the fleet had already slowly sailed into the main channel of the Pearl River. Compared with when they came, there were more than a dozen warships with varying degrees of damage, which were being dragged by the Ming warships and sailed in another direction, the direction in which the Ming army came.

In the naval battle at the mouth of the Dongjiang River, the Guangzhou side has not yet received news, the Qing army has not launched an attack, the city is as usual, and the docks are still being cleaned up and rebuilt. In the governor's palace, Du Yonghe smashed several finely made porcelain vases in a row, and it is said that he also lifted the table that night, but a few days later, this anger has also disappeared a lot, but the resentment against the betrayer is like wine, and the deeper it gets.

"How's the Mariner recovering?"

Du Yonghe's gloomy tone, Wu Wenwen swallowed his saliva, and simply replied stiffly: "If you return to the army, you will scoop up two battleships today, and they will be burned to the ground, so they should be dredged docks." Fortunately, the ship's guns can still be used, even gunpowder or something, and they still need to be replenished. ”

Today's situation is similar to yesterday, if not better. The Red Flag Pirates had a calculating or unintentional mind, and they thought very clearly, so naturally they would not give the Ming Army Navy a chance to recover. This fire burned too hard, and even the wooden trestle bridge at the wharf burned a lot, and it really abolished most of the Ming army's control over the Pearl River in one fell swoop.

"Gunpowder, gunpowder, gunpowder, even if this governor can turn into gunpowder, he can't stand your request."

In the city of Guangzhou, there were still relevant armaments, and the Qing army attacked the city, and the cost was not very large. However, Li Chengdong lost Meiling twice, the loss was very large, the foundation was already thin, as the generals divided the land, there were many interceptions in the locality, and the sailor this time, he lost a lot of money, once he thought of the cost of reconstruction, Du Yonghe couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Today is gunpowder, tomorrow is artillery, the day after tomorrow is bird guns and knives, and the day after tomorrow is to rebuild battleships. Wu Zongbing, we are besieged by the Tartars, and now the control of the Pearl River waterway has also changed hands, how to replenish it, where to replenish it? ”

It is understandable that this has become a vicious circle, the Qing army is outside, although it is not surrounded to death, but the cavalry is loaming, and it is difficult for large goods to enter and exit. During this time, the Pearl River waterway, which was controlled by the sailors, could be traded back and forth, but now that the control is gone, the situation will only get worse.

"The army, the Red Flag pirates, they only have a hundred or so warships, and they can't block the Pearl River shipping."

"The Governor knows."

Du Yonghe is not angry, and Wu Wenwen has nothing to do. Yesterday, he had a lot of words, saying that it was not possible to let Chen Qice of Sanshui bring the sailor over to assist in the defense, but he was beaten down by Du Yong. He knows very well that Chen Qice is very good at naval warfare, even if he asks himself, Du Yonghe doesn't want him to come over and teach Liang Biaoxiang's group a good lesson, but Chen Qice's top boss is a university scholar He Wusu, and if He Wusu comes over with him at that time, this Guangzhou city will listen to him, the governor, or a scholar.

It is better not to have Chen Qice's reinforcements, and not to let He Wuyu, a university scholar who instigated Li Chengdong at the beginning anyway, who is far superior to him in terms of qualifications, enter the city to preside over the overall situation. For Du Yonghe, this is a matter of principle, which brooks no questioning. But he only hoped to recover on his own, but he didn't know when he would be ashamed, so that Du Yonghe was so bored once he thought of this.

Returning to the usual rhythm, Wu Wenwen's mind gradually drifted to the dock, and soon, the two became speechless, according to the normal rhythm, Wu Wenwen should say that he will step up his efforts to urge his subordinates to restore the sailor tomorrow, and Du Yonghe can break up this meeting after encouraging him a few words.

It's a pity that this time, just halfway through Wu Wenwen's words, the officer guarding the southern city sent a cronie to hurry over to report to Du Yonghe.

"Governor Boss, south of the city, there are a large number of warships coming south of the city, and it looks like there are no less than a hundred."

Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen hurried to the south of the city, and Lin Cha's fleet docked on Haizhu Island and Henan Island on the opposite shore.

The fleet on the opposite side was under the banner of the Ming army, but Du Yonghe couldn't figure out which horn this jumped out of nowhere. Fortunately, since it was the Ming army, it was easy to talk, and after a while, a small boat slowly came, and a team of Ming troops with bright armor entered the city, and then the officer who took the lead handed over a brocade box to Du Yonghe.

"The army is the head of Liang Biaoxiang!"

"I know!"

The enemy who was still hating his teeth just now has his head in a brocade box, and he was given it as a gift. Du Yonghe frowned, and took a closer look at the officer, but he still couldn't find any useful clues from his memory. In this case, he didn't plan to continue to dwell on it, so he simply asked bluntly who the commander of this Ming fleet was?

"If you go back to the Du Army, the marshal of my family is the former commander of the Guangdong Army, the Marquis of Fuming Marquis Lin."

Rincha!

Thinking of this name, Du Yonghe's expression immediately became complicated. Speaking of which, the intersection between Lin Cha and them was just that Li Chengdong took advantage of Lin Cha's defeat of Lin Jiading to sneak attack Guangzhou and take advantage of the situation to drive them out of the sea, and it was just such a little "friendship". However, the original defeated generals now came to help them, Rao is Du Yonghe's cheeks can be thick enough to grasp the governor's seal, and he can't help but blush.

"It turned out to be Marquis Lin, long admiration, long admiration, I don't know how Marquis Lin is doing recently?"

"Lao Du is worried about the army, the marshal of my family has been serving under the Marquis of Weiyuan recently, and this time he was ordered by the Marquis of Weiyuan to escort Chen to join the army to meet with the Du Army."

Wei Yuanhou, that Zheng Ci surname!

is another character who was originally despised by them and offended by all seriousness. Du Yonghe felt that he could already find a crack to get into, at least he really didn't want to see Lin Cha's "villain" face. But when they met, they gave such a big gift, and if he didn't even see his face, he would have lost his face as a governor.

Fortunately, Wu Wenwen was probably also aware of this problem, and immediately threw out the matter that Du Yonghe had been canonized as a marquis by the Son of Yongli. In this way, the marquis is his own enemy of the marquis, but it is also less embarrassing.

Wu Wenwen's performance made Du Yonghe very satisfied, and for a while, even the slow recovery progress of the sailor was forgotten. But just when the officer was a little reluctant to congratulate him on being canonized as a marquis, Du Yonghe thought about it violently, as if this person had mentioned a person in his words just now.

"Chen joins the army?" Du Yonghe muttered to himself, and in the next second, his eyes immediately widened: "Chen Kai, who deceived Chaozhou, is also here?!" ”
