Chapter 747: Sudden Encounter
Liu Jingming looked at Carlos and the others who were escorted into the archway, ignored them, and looked at the north.
A lieutenant stood beside him and said, "My lord, someone has been arranged to interrogate, is it time to send someone to the base?" ”
Liu Jingming shook his head and said, "It is estimated that it will not be transmitted back now, so interrogate the prisoners first." ”
"Yes!" Du Wei said.
Liu Jingming looked at the smoke and dust that gradually dissipated, and breathed a sigh of relief.
These red-haired ghosts are not as terrifying as the legend, although he has a small number of people here, but they are still bloodless. The garrison on the side of Anping City is comparable to here, but the defense is more tight, and the islands are dense, which is definitely not something that the red-haired people can easily invade.
Putmans' fleet was now far from Tamsui City, and it headed south along the coast to Anping City.
With a glass of red wine in his hand, Putmans estimated the time, and nodded slightly, "Carlos has now taken Freshwater City." ”
Behind him stood some white soldiers, and no one felt at all that what he said was wrong.
They have almost never been defeated against the natives everywhere, and it must be the case here!
Putmans' fleet headed south, to the west. The flotilla of the Tooth, led by Okundo, went straight ahead and appeared in the field with Fu. The state capital, in the center of the strait between Tamsui City.
"General, the bugs are almost there." A soldier stood behind Okundo.
Oquindo looked to the north, and even though it was summer, he was still dressed like a bulky bear, and he looked at the north and said, "We'll wait." ”
The soldier didn't speak, he stood quietly behind him, also looking north, which was the interior of the Ming Dynasty - their goal this time!
On the largest warship of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian were collecting intelligence from all over the world, but now they were a little confused.
"The red-haired people have divided their troops, and the Franco-Rang people are hovering on the sea and not moving?"
Zhu Yujian listened to the information, looked at the chart, and thought thoughtfully.
Xiong Wencan was also watching, and pondered: "Lord Wang, do you think they will conspire?" ”
Zhu Yujian said: "Regardless of whether they conspire or not, we can't move easily now, and we must guard against Franco's manpower." ”
Xiong Wencan frowned, and said, "Then we can only rely on Tamsui City and Anping City, will they have problems?" ”
They still don't know that Liu Jingming has captured Carlos, and they are all worried that if the two places miss, it will be a big blow to Daming!
Zhu Yujian smiled slightly, and said: "My lord, I'm worried about it, these two places have been prepared for several years, and they are not so easy to be captured, at least it will not be a problem to defend them for three or two months." ”
Xiong Wencan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if this is the case, the red-haired people will have to retreat if they don't retreat, they can't last so long on the sea.
"But ......" Zhu Yujian frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
Xiong Wencan's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said, "If the prince has something to say, please speak directly." "He's under a lot of pressure right now, and the emperor is watching from behind.
Zhu Yujian glanced around, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "The emperor means to have a big victory, if you just barely hold on, I'm afraid you won't be able to get over it." ”
Xiong Wencan suddenly understood, calmed his face, and said for a while: "That...... Take a chance? ”
Zhu Yujian shook his head and said: "We are not familiar with naval warfare, but the Francois are experienced in the battlefield for a long time. Even if you can hold it, it will be lost. ”
Xiong Wencan's expression was calm and did not answer. They actually didn't have confidence in the navy so they decided to 'bring the enemy ashore', and now the Francos are in the middle, ruining all their plans and shackling them.
"Lord Wang, do you want to ask the emperor?" A deputy chief soldier hesitated.
Everyone knows that the establishment of the navy was promoted by the emperor, and on many issues, the emperor's vision is more important.
"No!"
Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian said almost in unison.
The deputy chief soldier was stunned and did not speak again.
Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian glanced at each other, and both of them understood that asking Zhu Xu at this time would only show their incompetence!
Zhu Yujian continued to stare at the chart, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, and said, "What is the Franco machine man going to do?" If you really want to stop us, you don't need to stay there, you should continue to go south, right in the middle of the strait? ”
Xiong Wencan looked at it and said, "They should have other intentions." ”
Zhu Yujian nodded thoughtfully and said, "There are other attempts...... I remember that in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the red-haired people attacked Xia. The door failed, could it be that the Franco-Rang people also hit our idea of approaching the shore? ”
Xiong Wencan's face changed slightly, and he said, "Where is the prince's judgment?" "His main concern is Mae. Zhou Island, after all, the emperor is here, if this place falls, it will be heaven-shattering.
Zhu Yujian also thought of this, and pondered: "No matter where it is, we have to keep an eye on it, and when necessary, the navy will fight!" ”
Xiong Wencan took a deep breath, his face was cold, and he couldn't help them back down at this time.
"Okay, the whole ship is first-class combat readiness!" Xiong Wencan shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The fleet waved flags one by one, and the words of the flags quickly spread to all the ships.
The fleet immediately tensed up, the cannons adjusted, and the fleet made an attack posture, ready to fight at any time!
Putmans was heading south to the city of Anping, Okundo was hovering over the sea, and the Ming fleet was on standby.
No one knows how the situation will develop, but it is rapidly changing.
Mae. Island base.
Zhu Xu sat on the chair, there was a pile of music books in front of him, he couldn't read it at all, there was tea and pastries on the side, he didn't have the slightest desire to eat.
Naval battles are different from land and Taiwan. The bay is separated by a strait, and the news cannot be delivered in time.
Zhu Xu was anxious and uneasy, sitting there with no thoughts, and it was difficult to calm down.
The same is true for Cao Huachun, this battle is too important for the Ming Dynasty, it is related to the direction of national politics, once it fails, it will be an extremely serious setback to the navy, and the most important thing is that it will hit the emperor hard!
He looked at Zhu Xu's somewhat gloomy and indifferent expression, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't go out for a walk anymore, Fu. There are still many places to look at again. ”
Zhu Xu glanced up at him, knew what he meant, waved his hand and said, "It's useless to go anywhere, you go, I will sleep for a while." ”
It's strange to be able to sleep.
Cao Huachun knew his pressure in his heart, hesitated, and still retreated.
Zhu Xu reclined on the soft collapse and exhaled deeply, as if he wanted to spit out all the turbidity in his heart.
"Don't let me down......" Zhu Xu whispered, closing his eyes to avoid his restless mood.
Zhu Xu was groggy in his head, and he really fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next day.
"Why don't you wake me up, what's going on now?" Zhu Xu jumped up from the soft collapse, didn't care about anything else, and rushed out directly, glaring at Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, there is no war." ”
Zhu Xu rubbed his face and said, "Specifically." ”
"Yes."
Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu was in a hurry, and said quickly: "The Francophone is still hovering at sea and has not moved. The red-haired man has arrived in Peng. The lake archipelago is less than fifty miles away, and there is no movement for the time being. ”
Zhu Xu pressed his temples with both hands and forced himself to calm down.
Calculate the time, it is indeed about the same.
Zhu Xu exhaled lightly, turned back, and said while washing his face, "What arrangements do you have on the navy's side?" ”
Cao Huachun followed up and said, "The Tamsui City side has been resolved, Peng. There have been arrangements on the other side of the lake for a long time, and there is no need to make more arrangements, and the navy is also blocking the sea lane to prevent the leakage of information. It's just that the Francophile has been staying at sea and has not moved, Lord Xiong, Tang Wang guessed that they might have the idea of hitting the inland, and he has been staring. ”
Zhu Xu wiped his face with a towel, his spirit was much refreshed, and he thought about it and said, "Well, keep staring, and let me know immediately if there is a situation." ”
"Yes!" Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu let out a long breath again, his heart was restless, and he couldn't concentrate on anything.
Standing in place, hesitating for a while, he still said, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”
Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu and walked slowly along the cement road of the base.
He looked at Zhu Xu and thought for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, General Cao has already gone south, and it is expected that there will be two more days. Jian, is handing over with Yu Anxing. ”
Zhu Xu listened, and said casually: "The 30,000 yuan will be handed over to Yu Anxing for training, Cao Wenzhao will go south alone, and take the king's order to mobilize ships and cannons from all over the country, I want 300 ships and 800 cannons!" ”
Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, is it transferred from the Ordnance Bureau?" "Now the Ordnance Bureau can produce 300 exterminating cannons every year. It was not possible to mobilize such a large number of people around the building.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "It's too late, order Cao Wenzhao to watch it himself." Tell Yu Anxing that those 30,000 people should be formed as soon as possible, and I will be of great use. ”
"Yes." Cao Huachun said.
