The losses of the military workshop were significant.

The reason was that the shelling triggered the explosion of a gunpowder workshop, and the loss of the hoarded gunpowder was still secondary, and more than a dozen craftsmen were unfortunately killed on the spot.

After a carpet search of the north, Fang Guoan and Lu Zhiyu came back to report.

"Lord Yu, after investigation and calculation, the artillery shelling of the military workshop should be between thirty and forty pieces...... When the last general arrived with his troops, the enemy had already retreated, and the indentation of the artillery car was still there, and the last general and General Lu had already dispatched men and horses to pursue the ...... along the car marks. ”

Wu Zheng frowned, thirty to forty artillery pieces, this should be half of an artillery regiment, that is to say, according to the establishment of the Northern Expeditionary Army, an artillery regiment with a range of more than ten miles is only sixty-four guns.

This is tantamount to telling Wu Zheng that at least one artillery regiment has defected.

How can this not make Wu Zheng uncomfortable?

But the question is, where did an artillery regiment come from?

The Northern Expeditionary Army is very clear that around Songjiang Prefecture, Fang Guoan's military academy corps and Wu Songwei, which was adapted from Jinshanwei, are all militia regiments in various prefectures, and they are not equipped with artillery at all.

This is very strange.

Lu Zhiyu guessed: "Could it be...... What good things did Jiangbei Taizhou Wei do? ”

Fang Guoan also said: "The artillery of the military academy, the last general has already sent someone to investigate it thoroughly, and there has not been a single one mobilized at all. General Lu's Wu Songwei is far away in Jinshanwei, and it is impossible to shell the military workshop, and the closest one is only Taizhouwei. ”

Wu Zheng's brows furrowed even tighter, the words sounded good, but Taizhou Wei could betray?

Is Jiang Quanyi stupid?

Or was he really bought by Dolgon after being captured?

But it's not right, this matter is the same as Fang Guoan and Lu Zhiyu, Jiang Quanyi can rebel, can Taizhou Wei?

Wu Zheng shook his head vigorously and said, "Impossible." There must be something we don't know about, and we continue to do our best to track down the fleeing artillery. ”

"Yes."

The two were ordered to leave.

At this time, Song An suddenly spoke: "Young Master, it is true that only the two generals Fang and Lu around Songjiang Mansion are equipped with artillery, but it does not mean that there are no other sources of artillery. ”

Wu Zheng's heart moved, and he said, "You mean to say that it is the artillery that Dolgon transported from Jiangbei?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Wu Zheng immediately shook his head, "This is impossible!" From Taizhou in the north of the river to the south of Rugao, all of them were under the control of Taizhou Wei, so what ability did Dolgon have to transport artillery across the Yangtze River? Besides, it was too late for the Qing court to buy artillery equipment from us at this time, so how could it take a lot of trouble to transport artillery to Jiangnan? It's illogical! ”

Song An shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I meant to say...... Navy. ”

These words made Wu Zheng's head bang on the ground.

Wu Zheng's intuition told himself that this should almost be the truth.

To the north of the military workshop, is the mouth of the sea.

Only the naval division, which could easily transport the artillery ashore and, after the shelling, evacuate to the north.

Only the sailor can easily avoid the eyes and ears of the people, because from Hangzhou to Wusong, the Northern Expeditionary Army has been training almost every day, and as a sailor, it is very natural and logical to land and transport artillery.

Wu Zheng thought bitterly, this should be the most correct guess.

The reason why it was painful was because one of the three water divisions had a problem.

Which one?

Zhang Mingzhen? No!

Wang Yilin? Not even more!

Then, it is the first Zhoushan master of the dynasty!

Wu Zheng keenly felt that only Wang Chaoxian could do this.

Because the Zhoushan Water Division of the first dynasty was reorganized from the original Huang Binqing's department, and some of them were the old subordinates of the first dynasty.

In this way, the dynasty could easily cover people's eyes and ears, and let his cronies go to sea with a few warships and land from the sea.

And the congenital nature of the dynasty also has the possibility of betrayal.

Historically, the dynasty first killed Huang Binqing with Zhang Mingzhen, seized the control of the sailor, and the dynasty first succeeded in the will, and gradually separated from Mingzhen, did not think of resisting the Qing Dynasty, but fought for food and floods, recklessly and strongly, plundered civilian ships, and in the end, was killed by Zhang Mingzhen's design.

Wu Zheng has always tolerated Wang Chaoxian because when Huang Binqing's department was first recruited, there was no suitable sailor general who could be entrusted to Zhoushan Shuishi.

After all, Wang Chaoxian has a lot of power, so after Wu Zheng weighed it, he accepted Wang Chaoxian's attachment and entrusted Zhoushan Shui Shi to him.

But in Wu Zheng's heart, he was indeed not at ease with the dynasty, and successively let Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin enter the Zhoushan Water Division as deputy commanders-in-chief, with the intention of containing the dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Chaoxian was dissatisfied in his heart, which was reasonable.

Dolgon sent someone to solicit and promise a heavy reward, and the two sides will hit it off, and if you have milk, you will be a mother.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng quickly ordered Chen Qianshan to block the estuary to prevent the dynasty from escaping back to the station first. In addition, the Wusong Water Division was transferred to press the Zhoushan Water Division to stop the dynasty from retreating.

……。

The dynasty was indeed at the mouth of the sea.

At this time, three warships were rocking leisurely on the water.

Wang Chaoxian was very proud, because Dolgon said that as long as he acted according to the plan, whether he succeeded or not, the position of the commander of the Great Qingshui Division was the first of his dynasty.

This is a real lack of a product, which is equivalent to the entire ocean, and he is a soil emperor.

The dynasty hated Wu Zheng first.

Zhang Mingzhen was reused by Wu Zheng, and Wang Yilin had gone to Zhoushan to serve as the deputy chief soldier for a few months before, Wang Chaoxian had clearly felt Wu Zheng's suppression and defense against him.

From time to time, cold words came out of his mouth, which was nothing more than saying that Wu Zheng wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the rabbit died and the dog cooked.

Wu Zheng also heard these words from time to time, but Wu Zheng basically ignored them.

Because of the Zhoushan Water Division in the past two or three years, the battle was still effective, and Wu Zheng had been hesitating, not wanting to move the dynasty first.

Zhang Mingzhen has already formed the Wusong Water Division, and Wang Yilin has taken over the Chen Qian Water Division, and there are no water division generals available in his hands for the time being, so let the dynasty continue to be in charge of the Zhoushan Water Division first.

But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the dynasty was originally born in the **, and the surrender at that time was also because of the situation, in the past three years, he has not been promoted, and he has long been dissatisfied with Wu Zheng.

As soon as Dolgon sent someone to solicit him, the dynasty agreed first, which was nothing more than a change of master.

Wang Dynasty's deployment is actually perfect.

Under the pretext that the sailors were exchanging stations for training, he pulled the sailors to the mouth of the sea, of course, the sailors and soldiers would not all follow the dynasty to do such things first.

Therefore, the dynasty first only mobilized three warships of his cronies, which was enough.

The more ships there are, the more likely they are to arouse suspicion.

Add to this the number of guns used, and the gunwales on one ship are enough.

The gunwales were placed on a pre-built wooden carriage, pulled by the horses they carried, and more than 200 gunners were transferred to accompany them.

No one would doubt it, and no one would dare to stop it, so it was done so easily.
