Chapter Seventy-Two: Battleships
Shen Chongming took the first step, and took Xiong Dabiao and the two thousand soldiers of the 3,000 battalion under his account to fight horses and go straight to Dinghai, the speed of the war horses was extremely fast, and the foot soldiers needed a day's journey, and they only took less than two hours.
Before he had time to enter the city, Shen Chongming directly ordered the two admirals Wang Zhen and Cao Jing who accompanied him to go to the dock to inspect the sailors.
The sailor was the highlight of the operation. Although the role of the bait is greater, but the important task of transporting soldiers to Daishan Island can not be ignored, not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of just in case, once the situation of the Japanese invaders is mistaken, but they must rely on these sailors to escort them, otherwise they will be in distress on the vast sea, and the 6,000 soldiers will not be able to escape the fate of going to the sea to feed the fish regardless of their combat strength, so they must not be careless about the sailors, and they must be aware of it.
The wharf in Dinghai is not big, and on weekdays, it is to dock merchant ships back and forth, and now suddenly there are two sailors with more than 100 warships gathered here, and the wharf that was originally quite wide is really a little crowded, if it weren't for the unsafe Cen Port on Zhoushan Island, coupled with the plan arranged by Shen Chongming, it would be absolutely impossible for these two sailors to dock here, after all, gathering here is not conducive to setting up a position, once attacked, it is simply to be slaughtered, this is also another reason why Shen Chongming is in such a hurry, You must not lose your wife and lose your soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult for you to pay to the emperor.
Standing on the dock, because the dock is too small, the warships can only be crowded together as much as possible, so that all the warships can be seen at a glance, the situation is very spectacular, only to see the warships standing up and down with the waves, and a sense of pride arises in the eyes, these ships are all under their own command from now on.
Taking a breath with some emotion, Shen Chongming turned back to Wang Zhen and Cao Jing and smiled: "Two adults, I will have to rely on you a lot in this battle. ”
"Your Excellency, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials, whatever you say, the lower officials will do it!" This time he was preempted by Wang Zhen, and Cao Jing on the side only nodded and agreed: "Yes, Lord Shen, what should I do, just give me the order!" ”
Shen Chongming nodded with satisfaction, now what he is most worried about is that the two of them will pinch up again, if the two sailors do not cooperate well, it will be a big trouble, but looking at this, I am afraid that my worries are superfluous.
"Well, just have what you say, no matter what the official has between you, usually no one will pay attention to you even if he uses the knife directly, but now is a time of war, it is a matter of the overall situation of the imperial court, the life and death of the soldiers, and I hope you will work together and do your best, understand?" Although he was relieved a lot, Shen Chongming still took the preventive shot in advance, so as not to make a mistake at that time.
The two of them didn't think about it, and immediately hugged their fists: "Please rest assured, Lord Shen, we must focus on military affairs, and the little holiday between each other will be no longer a war in the future!" Save all day idle and boring! Cao Jing said with a smile, and turned his head to look at Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly twisted his head to the side to look at the sea, this guy is not a thing, knowing that he is a disabled person when he gets out of the water, he is determined to laugh at himself for the rest of his life. Although I have worked hard to practice my skills in the water over the years, after all, it is not easy to learn how to swim when I am old.
Looking at the two of them like this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile bitterly, they were all old generals in the army, and they still had such a childlike innocence, and they didn't know whether to congratulate them or feel sorry for them.
Fujian sailors Nanjing sailors gathered at Dinghai Wharf in Ningbo Prefecture, and the news was immediately learned by the people who were not taught, a carrier pigeon with a physique far better than ordinary pigeons rushed into the sea breeze with a secret report, fluttering two small wings and heading straight to Daishan Island, this thing is not a messenger of peace in such a time, an authentic war fueller.
After a day and a night of arduous flight, when Shen Chongming rushed to Dinghai with his men and horses to inspect the sailors and prepare to go to sea to fight, the secret report carried by the carrier pigeon was also in Zheng Shanchuan's hands.
"Hehe, thinking about it day and night, the official army finally has moved!" Zheng Shanchuan said with a sneer, the opportunity to completely defeat the official army in a showdown has finally arrived.
"Congratulations to the Dharma Protector, congratulations to the Dharma Protector, waiting for the elimination of this official army, there will be no one in the Ming Dynasty who is our opponent, and when the time comes, thousands of miles of sea frontier will be allowed to gallop for me, and it will definitely make the dog emperor in the capital anxious!" Fuyun Lao Dao smiled and said.
Monk Ansheng was also happy, got up and said, "Protector, give the order!" The little monk will know what Shen Chongming is, and see if he really has three heads and six arms, and he dares to go to sea to seek death automatically! ”
The words of the two made Zheng Shanchuan, who was already in a good mood, even more happy, waved his hand and smiled: "Go, invite Mr. Si here, if we want to defeat the official army this time, we have to rely on them!" ”
Since the last time he almost died on the ship, Monk Ansheng has gritted his teeth against these red-haired ghosts, but now the situation is obvious, if you don't rely on their strong ships and cannons, trying to defeat the official army is tantamount to a fool's dream, so even if there is more unhappiness in your heart, you can only endure it.
Fuyun Lao Dao also knew the pimple in the hearts of the Ansheng brothers, so he didn't say much? Straight up to find Si Aomu, he can definitely be regarded as a close friend of the monk Ansheng.
Hearing the news, the red-haired ghost leader Si Aomu came very quickly, these days have been nesting on Daishan Island, seeing that the porcelain on the mainland is equivalent to white flowers and silver, he has not fished a single one, Si Aomu is anxious in his heart, and he has long been looking forward to defeating the Ming army to loot and make a fortune?
But after all, he is just a collaborator, everything that he is not familiar with can only obey Zheng Shanchuan's arrangement, he does not open his mouth to fight, and can only wait patiently, now as soon as he heard that the Ming army went to sea, he realized that the good thing of making a fortune was about to come, and he jumped up and rushed all the way to Zheng Shanchuan's house under the excitement.
Looking at his expression, Zheng Shanchuan was very happy in his heart, such a collaborator is really good, and he doesn't need to spend too much effort to encourage him to fight actively.
Seeing the panting interpreter coming in, Zheng Shanchuan said: "Mr. Si, let me tell you good news, the long-awaited time for this seat has finally arrived, the imperial court sailor is about to go to sea, today you and I will make good arrangements and preparations, tomorrow morning we can go to sea to find the Ming sailor to fight, and then it will depend on you, hehe!" ”
The translator, who was originally panting heavily, first looked happy, and then translated the words very quickly and said to Si Aomu, who said a few words like a chicken pecking rice, and then listened to the translator with a smile on his face: "Mr. Si Aomu said, everything but with your orders Mr. Zheng, we can guarantee that the Daming Sailor will not come back!" ”
"Good!" Zheng Shanchuan laughed, got up and instructed Monk Ansheng and Fuyun Lao Dao: "Immediately select 1,500 key soldiers, and tomorrow morning the two of you will lead Mr. Sui Si to battle, and all the officials and soldiers of the imperial court will be buried in the belly of the fish, and then I will ask the sect leader for you to take credit!" ”
Fuyun Lao Dao An Sheng monk got up and responded violently, and then went out with a happy face to select his subordinates, and the dwarf was drawn from the big one, and the 1,500 elite people must be selected out, and the time must be done to kill the officers and soldiers without leaving a piece of armor.
