320 Congratulations, Lord
All along, in their impression, the Ming army was the kind that had rotted to the roots.
Even the Guan Ning Army, who used to be the Dongjiang Army, was not convinced. I feel that if they can pay the salaries and ordnance of the Guan Ning army, they will definitely do a better job than the Guan Ning army.
Therefore, when they heard Ban Zhifu's description, they were all shocked and speechless.
After a long while, Shang Kexi came back to his senses, immediately became a little nervous, and immediately asked, "You said that most of the sea is full of transport ships?" ”
"Yes!" Ban Zhifu hurriedly nodded and replied: "Although I just glanced at it, I can still tell if it is a warship or a transport ship." ”
Shang Kexi has no doubt about his statement. Because they used to be the sailors of the Dongjiang Army. Warships and transports, for them, a glance is enough to tell the difference.
At this time, I saw Shang Kexi frowning tightly and whispering: "Two or three thousand Ming troops, all of them are elite, about fifty ships, most of them are transport ships, and there are not a few warships......"
He was summarizing the information he heard, and Xu Erxian on the side suddenly smiled abnormally, and said to Shang Kexi with surprise: "Lord Wang, the Ming army has no warships, and the Ming army has no warships!" This...... This is really a great contribution to the king! ”
Ban Zhifu may have been stimulated and tired, and he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and suddenly, he also showed a surprised face and said to Shang Kexi: "Lord Wang, the previous Denglai sailors are basically gone, even if the Ming army wants to cross the sea, shipbuilding is not something that can be built in a while." If they want to cross the sea, they must first take a transport ship, without which the elite they have trained with great difficulty will not be able to cross the sea. In this way, there must be very few warships of the Ming army......"
The more he said it, the more likely he felt, the more smiles on his face, regardless of his own injuries, he reached out and grabbed Shang Kexi's sleeve, raised his voice and said, "The prince just revitalized the sailors some time ago, and has repaired those idle warships. I'm afraid that no one in the Ming army can think of this......"
When he said this, Xu Erxian interrupted him, as if he wanted to grab the merit, and seemed to be extremely excited, and he also wanted to show it, with surprise, he said loudly: "The prince took the sailor and copied the waterway of the Ming army, so that these Ming troops are the turtles in the urn, and when the Qing army arrives, they will definitely die and have no place to be buried!" In this way, not only did he make a great contribution, but he could also show the emperor the importance of the existence of the Great Shimizu Division. Maybe in the future, the emperor will allocate more materials to build a more powerful Great Clear Water Division! ”
The elite Ming army crossed the sea and came to raid, such a big bad news, as soon as the two of them said it in a few words, it became that the Ming army came from the net, as if it was giving them credit.
Shang Kexi's frowning brows before seemed to have stretched a little, and although there was no smile on his face, it was obvious that his pressure seemed to be much less.
As the king of Zhishun who was crowned by Huang Taiji, he did not immediately follow the crowd, and he could still hold his mind and ponder the words of the two subordinates there, which was indeed okay.
After a while, I heard him mutter: "But no matter what, the Ming army must also have warships!" ”
"Lord Wang, you can't hesitate, don't come again when you can't miss the opportunity!" Xu Er saw this, and immediately persuaded in a hurry, "There will definitely not be many warships in the Ming army, and they didn't expect that there are more than fifty warships in the hands of the prince!" If the time drags on, the Ming army has already been transported, and they will definitely be building warships in the future! ”
"That's right, Lord Wang, if you drag on the Lord for a long time, your advantage may be gone. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming army, they immediately copied their back road, at least intercepted all their follow-up grain and grass materials, which is definitely a great achievement! Ban Zhifu also immediately followed the persuasion.
Shang Kexi listened, hit his right fist on his left hand, made up his mind, and immediately ordered: "Okay, pass on the order of the king of this book, and the sailor will prepare immediately." In addition, 800 miles were urgent, and the news of the Ming army's attack across the sea was sent to Shengjing! ”
That being said, the recital to Huang Taiji must be written by him Shang Kexi himself. The preparation of the sailors, including the dispatch of sailors, and the supply of shells and weapons on the warship, also took time.
But no matter what, the atmosphere in the entire Golden State suddenly became tense.
Although the fake Tartars heard the news of the Ming army's attack, Shang Kexi and the others did not panic, and they did not panic based on their previous impressions of the Ming army. There is even a little excitement, after all, only with military exploits can you be promoted and make a fortune.
And those people who were plundered, they were in dire straits, and they were surprised and had a glimmer of hope rising from the bottom of their hearts. Although they didn't dare to show it openly, almost all of them secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that the Ming army would come over.
In the early afternoon, suddenly, at the exit of the harbor, thick smoke suddenly rose from the mountain.
"Look, the beacon fire, the beacon fire has risen!"
"It's not good, there are Ming troops coming on the sea!"
“……”
Jinzhou is different from Lushun, this is the location of the command and envoy of the Jinzhou Guard, even in the hands of the Manchus, it is also an important town. After Shang Kexi arrived, he reorganized the armament, and the beacon tower on the mountain was naturally in his rectification. In addition, early in the morning, knowing that the Ming army was coming, the Tartars on duty on the mountain did not dare to be sloppy.
Shang Kexi was still busy here, and when he heard the announcement of his subordinates, his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked, "How many warships?" ”
"Back to the prince, it's about thirty ships. Specifically, we have to wait for the news from the mountain to come down. ”
Shang Kexi listened to this, and his heart was a little relieved, it seemed that he was not mistaken, the Ming Kingdom was going to build transport ships at the beginning, so there were not many warships.
Of course, he would not have thought that Daming had actually transferred the sailors from the far southeast coast.
Shang Kexi didn't think much about it, and immediately sent a military order and asked the sailor to go to meet the battle.
Xu Erxian received the order and immediately excitedly took the sailor to battle.
Fifty warships are ready to deal with thirty or so ships, and according to his experience, no matter how you fight, you can win! As long as the warships that came to attack the Ming army were eliminated, the remaining transport ships would be fish and meat on the knife board.
As a result, on the dock, the atmosphere of war became stronger.
The fake tartar is excited, and finally has merit to be fished. And the plundered people were worried, and prayed in their hearts that this sudden hope would not be extinguished so soon!
As for Shang Kexi's side, he is now a prince, so it is naturally impossible for him to personally lead his troops out to sea to fight. But watching the battle, that's for sure.
Surrounded by a group of guards, they climbed up a hill near the sea, and the sight of this place can almost see the battlefield of naval battles.
As soon as he appeared, the fake Tartars on duty here excitedly stepped forward to salute Chimi, and at the same time talked nonsense.
"Lord Wang, the Ming army will be defeated!"
"Yes, Lord Wang, look at it, only half of the Ming army's naval warships are big ships."
"Lord Wang, the Ming Army's sailor is still that kind of virtue, and it is estimated that he was forced to come over and send him to death by the people above!"
“……”
In this regard, Shang Kexi did not respond, and he didn't bother to wipe his sweat, so he was led to a place with the best perspective to watch the battle.
Sure enough, he saw that there were about thirty sailor warships of the Ming army, and only half of the warships were about the same as the warships under him, and the others were a few sizes smaller.
Seeing this, Shang Kexi couldn't help but think in his heart: Could it be that as his subordinates said, these Ming army sailor warships were forced by those Shangguan whose heads were caught in the door, right? Several years have passed, and the officials of the Ming Kingdom are still this virtue!
Thinking like this, he finally smiled, and thought in his heart, maybe he would add another piece to Sheng Jing today, right?
However, the development of things soon surprised him, and everything that followed surprised him, if he had glasses!
Before the Manshui division left the harbor, he saw that the Ming army's naval division had the upper hand first. Then, those small boats puffed up their sails, and without the cover of the big ships, they rushed directly to the side of the Manchu Shimizu Division. At the same time, the big boat followed behind the small boat.
Dare to charge to the death, engage in broadside battles? Shang Ke was happy to see this, and thought in surprise: Obviously, there are more warships on his side, so rushing over like this, isn't he looking for death?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw those small boats suddenly burst into flames, and then the wind rushed straight to the Qingshui Division. At this time, Shang Kexi and others reacted, the Ming army used the trick of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, and they actually wanted to die together?
The Manchu Qingshui division wants to avoid it, but the Ming army has already calculated it, how can it be avoided! On the heads of those small boats, there were iron spears, which pierced directly into the big ship of the Manshui Division, and the fire raged, and soon the big ship was burned.
This sudden fire attack method caught the Manshui Master off guard, and he couldn't extinguish it at all. As a result, the Manchu sailors were like dumplings, and they could only rush to jump into the sea.
As a result of the fire, the exit of the harbor became even narrower. The Manchu Clear Water Division's warships, which were not on fire behind, had to avoid the burning ships, and in a panic, they were like headless flies, and many of them collided together.
If that's normal, it's fine, at most take some time apart.
However, the big war ships of the Ming Army's naval division followed behind the fireboats, and just arrived, and the guns on the ships opened fire, without any aim, and almost all of them hit the Manchu Qingshui division warships.
The entire naval battle, almost from the very beginning, was one-sided. The two sailors, both tactically and improvisedly, are completely two levels!
Actually, this is completely understandable, and only Shang Kexi and them, he didn't think it was at first, as far as Zheng Zhilong was concerned, he didn't know that it would be like this if he didn't fight.
The Manchu Shui Division, which is still gratifying, comes from the former Denglai Water Division. And it is divided into two parts. Some of them were Shang Kexi's original subordinates; There are also some warships that Kong Youde took from Dengzhou; No matter which part of the sailors it was, in fact, they had never fought serious naval battles before.
Because when they were still the naval division of the Ming army, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no naval division, and there was no naval battle to fight.
By the time they were full of clear water divisions, the Ming army had no naval divisions, and there was no naval battle to fight!
And the Ming Army Sailor is actually from the Fujian Navy. It was a lot of naval battles with pirates large and small, and even fought naval battles with the fleets of Franc and the Netherlands, and he was a sailor who won the battle.
The level of naval warfare of the naval divisions of the two sides is not at the same level at all. It is not too much to use adults and babies to describe Daming Shui Shi and Manshui Shi.
In the naval battle at this time, this Manchu Water Division, which is still very proud, was beaten by the Daming Water Division commanded by Zheng Zhilong, and there was no power to fight back at all. Shang Kexi and his subordinates on the mountain were dumbfounded, and no one said anything for a long time.
After the battle, the remaining warships of the Manchu Qing Division, no one listened to the orders of the flagship, and all fled back to the port.
After being bombarded by the shore anti-aircraft artillery, the Daming Naval Division did not pursue it again, but slowly retreated and headed in the direction of Lushun.
Shang Kexi on the mountain, although he saw more than 30 ships attacking the Ming State Navy, only more than 10 ships returned. And there are more than 30 sailor warships under his command that have returned to the port, and in terms of quantity, his side still has the advantage.
However, at this time, he just looked at the fire of the warship that was still burning at the mouth of the harbor, and then looked at the Ming sailors who sailed away, and his face was as ugly as it was.
Did you win?
Judging by the remaining ships, it seems to have won!
But does this really have to win?
Shang Kexi hadn't found a reason to comfort himself, so one of his subordinates forced a smile, and then said to him: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, my Great Qingshui Division won the first battle and repelled the attacking Ming State Naval Division!" ”
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, more than half of the water division of the Ming Kingdom has been lost!" When the other subordinates saw this, they immediately chimed in.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the ......"
"Congratulations!" Without waiting for them to come up one by one to congratulate, Shang Kexi suddenly jumped like thunder, ignoring the image of the prince, he suddenly burst into a foul mouth, and scolded angrily: "Are you blind? Or is this king blind? Win or not, can't this king see it? ”
His angry shout frightened these men to kneel down one by one, not daring to say anything more.
Shang Kexi didn't bother to bother with these people, so he threw up his sleeves and went down the mountain angrily.
In Jinzhou City, many fake Tartars were cheering, repelling the Ming naval division, annihilating half of the invading warships, and winning a great victory......
However, their cheers, as long as those who have a heart listen carefully, can hear it, and they lack confidence!
When Shang Kexi returned home, Xu Erxian had already arrived, as if he had been smoked by the fire, and he was disgraced, without saying a word, kneeling down to ask Shang Kexi for his guilt.
These fake Tartar leaders naturally understood in their hearts that this battle was actually lost, and they were pressed and beaten by the Ming State Sailors. Whether it is from the dispatch of the sailors or the elite of the sailors, it is not at the same level at all.
After a long while, Ban Zhifu suddenly smiled, broke the silence, and said to Shang Kexi: "Lord Wang, congratulations!" ”
"......" Shang Kexi heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, his face was very ugly, and he didn't speak.
