Chapter 118: Zheng Clan's Rebel General

Who is Huang Wu?

It is the historical Qinghai Chenggong. Of course, Huang Wu didn't know this at this time. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he was just a mere servant, but when he saw the chaos in the world, he was unwilling to be nameless, so he defected to the Zheng family.

In the past few years under Zheng Zhilong's command, he has been mixed up in the naval division, but because of the formation of the army, Zheng Zhilong was transferred from the naval division and became a general in the army division. Under the city of Nanjing, it was routed by the Qing army. When he saw that things were not good, he turned against him.

Appreciated by Dodor and taken with him. In the end, more than 10,000 people were selected from Zheng's surrender army to form the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Qing Army.

The Qing army's desire to form a Yangtze River Naval Division was not a day or two.

As far as the situation in Jiangnan is concerned, even a fool knows the role of a stakeholder water division.

Therefore, it is not difficult to gather a large number of ships, including official ships, civilian ships, and some warships, and the manpower and material resources of Jiangnan, these things are not difficult, but the real difficulties are experienced sailors and generals. It can be said that the arrival of this large number of Zheng army generals made up for the shortcomings of the Qing army.

And Huang Wu was also favored by Duoduo, and he rose several times in a row and became the leader of this water division.

"My lord, can we chase after us?" The guard beside Huang Wu said.

If Shi Lang saw the current Huang Wu, he would definitely laugh out loud, so today's Huang Wu is already a serious money rat tail. Although Huang Wu is slightly short, he can also be called dignified, but with the appearance of this money rat tail, it makes people look very funny.

It's just that none of the people around Huang Wu dare to laugh.

Huang Wu looked at the tragic situation around him, sighed slightly, and said, "Don't chase it, just send this information up." ”

The damage is always mutual, when they just came into contact with each other, Huang Wu gave Shi Lang's boat a hard blow, and Shi Lang also bit Huang Wu's side hard. It seems that it is also because these sailors under Huang Wu are gathered together from all over the place, and the cooperation is not as good as the tacit understanding on Shi Lang's side.

This little bit of incongruity is not visible in normal times, but when they fight each other for a moment of life and death, the difference is revealed.

Therefore, the number of casualties on Huang Wu's side is more serious than that of Shi Lang's side.

Although Huang Wu came to intercept Shi Lang, intercepting Shi Lang was not his main task. The trainer was the sailor, and he got the news too late to gather many boats. Coupled with the lack of training, he was not very surprised by this result.

Huang Wu took advantage of the situation and withdrew his troops.

Back on the dock in Nanjing, there were already people waiting there. Seeing Huang Wu, he said, "Lord Hong, please." ”

Lord Hong is Hong Chengchou.

To be honest, Hong Chengchou's situation in Nanjing

, with a hint of embarrassment. He was in charge of Jiangnan administrative affairs. But now there is the sound of swords and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, where is there a calm place, Hong Chengchou has almost no real power, but Duoduo still needs all kinds of grain and grass, and he still has to ask Hong Chengchou.

And the wealth of Jiangnan has flowed into the hands of generals at all levels of the Qing army.

Hong Chengchou wanted to get money from them, but it was quite difficult.

This head lawsuit will not be mentioned for the time being.

It seems that in order to compensate Hong Chengchou, Duoduo ordered Hong Chengchou to supervise the water division. Of course, it's not just compensation.

First of all, the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Qing Army was still being formed, which required a large amount of materials and manpower, and these things needed to be coordinated by Hong Chengchou. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was not that there were no good chores, but they were all in Beijing.

Secondly, most of the sailors are Fujianese, and the taste of dialects is very strong, and the personnel of Liaodong are not easy to understand.

Duoduo originally wanted to find a suitable Liaodong general to lead the water division, but he couldn't find a suitable one, and Hong Chengchou was from Fujian, although he was not from Liaodong, but he was also trustworthy, so this errand fell on him.

Moreover, these Zheng generals have just arrived in the Qing army, and there is naturally a sense of panic in their hearts. If you want to find a backer, who is more suitable than Hong Chengchou, an old-timer and fellow villager?

Therefore, Huang Wu did not dare to slack off, and he immediately went to see Hong Chengchou.

When he saw Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou held a single-handle magnifying glass, placed it on the table, and read the document silently. It looks like an ordinary two-legged bookcase, and you can't tell it at all, it's the notorious Hong butcher in the rebel army.

After reading a page, he opened it lightly, and seemed to have found that Huang Wu was coming. With a bit of a sense of waking up from a dream, he said: "Jun Xuan is here, sit." ”

Junxuan is the word of Huang Wu.

Huang Wu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, in front of adults, where there is a small seat, just stand and serve." ”

Hong Chengchou said a few polite words, but Huang Wu didn't dare to sit down, so he didn't say anything, and asked: "When I ordered someone to invite you, I said that you met something on the river, what is it?" ”

Huang Wu said: "Lord Bing, there is nothing else, it is just a ship of the Zheng family, going upstream, and I want to stop it, but I miss it?" ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed slightly, he just asked casually, but he didn't want to ask the questions he cared about.

"Do you know who it is?" Hong Chengchou asked,

"It seems to be Shi Lang." Huang Wu said.

Hong Chengchou listened and said, "Shi Lang? Are you sure? ”

Huang Wu hesitated a little and said: "On the battlefield, there is chaos, and the lowly position is just a glance, and I dare not be sure." ”

"It doesn't matter." Hong Chengchou pointed to the paperwork on the table

Huang Wu said, "Take a look." ”

Huang Wu took a look and found that what was written on it was the situation in Fujian. Although many of the inside facts are still not well understood, there is no doubt that the relationship between the Zheng family and the Xia Dynasty is rapidly bridging. In particular, it is also mentioned that the envoy sent by the Zheng clan to Wuchang. That is, Chen Ding and Shi Lang, one article and one martial arts.

Seeing this, Huang Wu immediately got up and pleaded guilty and said: "Humble duty, I didn't stop Shi Lang and his party, and I missed the major affairs of the court, and I really deserved to die." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Get up." You are not to blame for this, you didn't know beforehand. Now, even if you stop it, it won't affect the overall situation. ”

"Master Xie, be magnanimous." Huang Wu said: "Humble duty, Minggan five. ”

Hong Chengchou waved his hand slightly and said, "I came to you today, I just wanted to ask you how the training of the sailors is?" ”

Huang Wu knew that Hong Chengchou was going to ask this. Huang Wu still has a strategic vision. The close relationship between Zhang Xuan and Zheng Chenggong illustrates one thing, that is, the war is imminent. In the war, whether it was dealing with Zheng Chenggong's sailor or the Yangtze River sailor of the Xia Dynasty, this sailor in Huang Wu's hands was very important.

Huang Wu wanted to report a piece of good news. But he couldn't say anything.

Today's battle speaks for itself.

Several ships couldn't catch one of Zheng Jun's boats, so they let them go. Not to mention the tacit understanding of each other, but this whip on the head makes many people not without resentment in their hearts. It's also Huang Wu who has some skills, otherwise, it may not be impossible for people below to escape with boats.

Huang Wu could only bow his head and say, "I've disappointed my lord." The sailor can be compiled, and I am afraid it is not enough to fight with the Zheng sailor. ”

"Can you fight with the Zheng Navy, let's not talk about this? Can you fight with the Yangtze River Sailors of the Southern Dynasty? Hong Chengchou said with a serious face: "You have to make this point clear, if you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't." Now to be honest, I can still bear it for you, if you go to the battlefield and go wrong, no one will be able to save you at that time. ”

Huang Wu's brain couldn't stop turning, and finally he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "I don't dare to say anything about defeating, but it is certain to drag the Southern Dynasty Water Division." ”

Huang Wu's sentence is true and false.

As a member of the former Zheng Navy, he didn't have much of an eye on Xia Jun's Yangtze River Sailor. Because these are two different styles.

The Zheng Sailor was a pirate and a sailor, or a great pirate in the skin of a sailor. Therefore, Zheng's sailors are strong, and they have a pirate style. And Zhou Fuchen first served as an army and then as a sailor, and he learned to march and fight under Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan's command is the most disciplined. Therefore, even if Zhou Fuchen was among the sailors, he did not lose this point. It can be said that military discipline is strict, no less than that of the army.

These two different styles, who is good and who is bad, is not clear. But it's true that they look down on each other.
