Yan Siqi is a good wine, and he can drink it very much, and in the end his life was lost on this, of course, that is all later. Today he drank it with wine. Today's naval battle was not smooth, I suffered heavy losses, and I did not achieve the goal I wanted, which is really depressing. And the current situation is that if he can't break through the Qiantang River estuary, his 30,000 brothers will have no follow-up response, they will be alone, and sooner or later they will be consumed under the city of Hangzhou.

Holding a wine bowl in his hand, his eyes were already bloodshot because he had drunk too much, and he dried up the last sip of wine, Yan Siqi scolded his subordinates loudly: "Hasn't he replied to the letter to that dog official?" ”

The letter he said was addressed to Yu Guangsheng, the sailor of Zhejiang, and asked him to forward it to the political envoy of Zhejiang, explaining his purpose, so that he could sit down with the court of the Ming Dynasty and talk about the conditions of Zhao'an. In fact, whether it is Yan Siqi or the current situation of the entire Ming court, Yan Siqi's recruitment conditions are the most favorable to the Ming court.

But it's a pity that he was really born at the wrong time, born in this court that wants to save face, if he puts down his worth and prays for surrender to Zhao'an, maybe his goal will be achieved, but he took another extreme measure to force this court to sign an alliance under the city, which is unacceptable to the Ming court. Not to mention that Yu Guangsheng didn't dare to accept it, even if it was passed to the political envoy of Zhejiang and the cabinet of the imperial court, no one dared to agree to this condition.

This is like later, Li Zhicheng was forced to write a letter to Emperor Chongzhen, indicating his ambitions, and the conditions were similar to now. That is, as long as the imperial court named him the king of the northwest and governed Shaanxi, and then Li Zhicheng personally led his million-strong army to annihilate the Manchu Qing for the Ming court. As a result, even with such generous conditions, he was rejected by the lord of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, who wanted to save face, and would rather hang himself on the coal mountain than agree.

Therefore, his letter was naturally like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no reply.

Yan Siqi has quite a headache, there is a heroic and warlike Yu Zhigao in front of him, and there are 30,000 soldiers trapped in the inland city of Hangzhou, which is his own blood, and he has to rescue them no matter what. As for the so-called harvest, Yan Siqi is no longer in his mind. As long as there are 30,000 troops, the entire Nanyang region is still a place where they are rampant, and gold and silver are still falling into their pockets.

Just when he was in pain, Yiye Xiaozhou took advantage of the dark night to cross the wide surface of the Qiantang River, and when he arrived at his camp, his old acquaintance Zhao Wujie came in person.

When two people met, they didn't complain about each other, and at this point, both of them still have a mind.

"What's the state of the battle today?" The first sentence of the meeting between the two people asked each other this crucial question, and then the two of them shook their heads and sighed together.

Zhao Wujie said: "I lost 12 warships on the Qiantang River today. ”

"I lost 70 on the Qiantang River."

"The little dog attacked Hangzhou City, on two fronts, lost nearly 5,000 people, and in the past few days of continuous fighting, well, a total of seven or eight thousand people have been lost."

"I've lost 2,000 men and horses in the last two naval battles."

"In Hangzhou City, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have begun to appear."

"I'm here, and all the Fujian sailors have been reinforced."

The two of them are like a grieving little daughter-in-law, talking about the distress of the two people.

Yan Siqi: "I don't think this battle can be done. ”

Zhao Wujie said: "I think there is still something to be done in this battle." ”

This is the first time that the two men have had a disagreement.

Yan Siqi asked in wonder: "Brother Unbounded, do you have any new methods?" ”

Zhao Wujie said with confidence: "In this big battle, we are temporarily at a disadvantage, but it does not mean that we have lost all the games. In fact, this matter is very simple, we can see the clues in the middle if we take a good look at the causes and consequences. ”

Yan Siqi is brave, but he is not a wise man, but a fierce man. The reason why he can come to this day is because this person is righteous and angry, and because he still worships the brave in this era. At the beginning, 28 people formed an alliance in Japan and elected Yan Siqi as the leader of the alliance, just because of the above two items, and this guy dared to do it. Judging from the fact that he wanted to rely on his 28 people and lead a team of 100,000 pirates, he arrogantly wanted to slaughter the Japanese emperor and protect his godfather Li Dan to let the court canonize him as the king of Fusang Kingdom, this guy is indeed a bold and reckless man. He also didn't want to think that Japan had a population of 30 million at that time, and even if he slaughtered the Japanese emperor and successfully occupied Japan, it would be a fool's dream to rule 30 million with 100,000 people. If a force wants to occupy the foundation of another force, the most important foundation should be the nation represented by this force, and it should occupy at least 13 of the nation it wants to rule. I think that the reason why the Central Plains ruled by the Mongol Yuan was finally beaten out by Zhu Yuanzhang is that the population base of the Han nation is far greater than that of the Mongols who occupied the Central Plains.

As a result, Yan Siqi replaced Zheng Zhilong as the leader of this group because he dared to think and do, and he was righteous, but the plan to overthrow Japan still failed, and he fled to Taiwan with 13 brothers, so he had the current foundation. It is precisely because he dares to think and dare to do that he has the delusion of preparing to hurt Daming and forcing the court to sign an alliance with him. So in general, he is the type of Chu Overlord, who is embraced and worshiped by his brothers, but he is indeed stupid and ridiculous.

Zhao Wujie patiently explained his thoughts to him, and now Zhao Wujie has changed his original idea of escaping, but has changed his way to continue to prepare to loot Hangzhou.

"The 30,000 troops you lent me, after joining up with my original army, took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's transfer of the most elite troops to the south to suppress the Hao'an Rebellion, so that we could get the opportunity to drive straight into Hangzhou. But we didn't expect that the situation was changing rapidly, and a small talent suddenly appeared in the city of Hangzhou, which reversed the situation at the most critical time, and we were blocked under the city of Hangzhou, and we were not able to achieve quick results, so as to hurt the Ming court, and realize our purpose of shaking the world and forcing the court to sign an alliance with us. What are the consequences of this? It is our army of more than 30,000 that has become a lone army hanging alone. And the arrival of the Fujian Navy Division also exceeded your expectations, leaving our lonely 30,000 army without logistical supplies. ”

Yan Siqi looked at the map with a wine bowl and nodded painfully.

"But if we annihilate this Fujian naval division blocking our Qiantang River estuary, and our two armies are combined into one, not only will their strength be enhanced, but also their logistics will be worry-free, then with an army of 50,000, there should be absolutely no problem in breaking through the Hangzhou garrison composed of 30,000 people."

Yan Siqi thought calmly for a while, and drank the wine in the bowl violently: "The little talent you said is constantly scheming, as long as he is helpless in the face of absolute superiority." The resourceful Zhuge Liang, with three hundred old and weak soldiers, can only sing about the empty city plan, and the final outcome is still to lose the city, is this what you mean? ”

Zhao Wujie clapped his hands: "Defeated the sailors of the Ming Dynasty and didn't make the court feel pain, but if we open Hangzhou City, we can use this bigger bargaining chip to exchange with the imperial court, then won't the purpose of both you and me have been achieved?" ”

Yan Siqi was overjoyed at the time: "This is indeed the best way, let's just do it." WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
