Mao Chenglu blinked and announced loudly:

"The 'Red Banner Army' is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and the general is a British lord who is loved by millions of soldiers and people, and he will not kill those who surrender in vain.

Che was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of Mao Chenglu's words, and Lezizi brandished an axe and shouted at a group of defective Han soldiers: "Brothers, follow Lao Tzu to kill all those traitor generals!" ”

Soon, the pacification officer made a report on the situation in Pyongyang, and of course the two main generals who entered the city, Mao Chenglu and Shang Kexiyi, deliberately did not leave the Qing army lieutenant general and above.

After Huang Han learned of this situation, he decided to hold a ceremony to enter the city three days later, leaving enough time for Mao Chenglu and Shang Keyi to clean up the scum.

He specially sent a boat overnight to pick up Wen Tiren and more than a dozen high-ranking officials of "Han River Province" to attend the ceremony, and the presiding over the work was also handed over to Wen Tiren, the highest civil official of Han River Province.

In order to ensure that there are no potential safety hazards in the city entry ceremony, it is indispensable to eliminate the potential dangers in Pyongyang.

In history, Kong Youde was surrounded by Li Dingguo in Guilin, he was the king of Dingnan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, and his whole family was in the city, this hardcore traitor resisted to the end, and set a fire to burn down the Dingnan palace when the city was broken, and he himself was buried in the fire.

Now that history has turned a corner, there is no chance for Kong Youde, a big traitor, to change his way of death, I don't know if it is providence or coincidence?

Mao Chenglu and Shang Keyi did not accept the traitor generals to surrender to sincerity and kindness.

But they could only secretly support their surrender, and on the surface, they had to make a decision that as long as they surrendered, the "Red Banner Army" ensured the personal safety of every general and soldier and civilians of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and hyped it up.

At that time, Jiang Xin had to select some of the military attaches who were left behind to show up.

While the offensive and defensive battle for Pyongyang City was in full swing, there was also a battle about to start in the South China Sea.

The British were very bullish, and they had not been robbed by the Dragon Warriors at sea.

I didn't know that a fleet with a dragon flag fluttering in the far east had appeared, and the force was terrifying.

This was due to the fact that the ships of the Longwu Naval Division had human-powered oars, and each warship was now equipped with at least three fixed telescopes.

Sure enough, the widespread use of chain drive gears to drive the wheel oars makes the conversion of manpower into thrust four times more efficient than direct paddles.

The pedaling of 200 people can provide the equivalent of 7 or 800 people paddling, and it also makes the soldiers and civilians who drive the wheel oars less tired, and can hold on for a longer period of time, as they did on bicycles in later generations.

Sea ships are so long, even if most Xiyi Galen ships are equipped with giant oars, it is impossible to increase speed by two or three knots in an instant.

Because the huge oars of the sea ship are quite heavy, at least two or three sailors can row, how much physical strength is wasted? The efficiency can be imagined, and the oarsman will certainly not last long.

In the race at sea, the fully driven Longwu Naval Division warships were fully capable of catching up with the merchant ships and warships that tried to escape in vain, except for the small sentinel ships.

On the vast sea, the Longwu Naval Division can see far, run fast, have strong firepower, large warships and complete the robbery in groups, and under normal circumstances, the Xiyi ships that are found will not slip through the net.

Although many Portuguese, Dutch, and Spaniards negotiated with Long Wu Sailor through compradors in Manila, Port Fafo, and Macau, to pay ransom for the crew of the looted merchant ships and warships.

But it's not a glorious thing, it's all secret.

The fledgling England was a fierce enemy, of course the enemies of the traditional maritime powers of Spain and Portugal, and the rising Dutch, who also saw them as imaginary enemies.

They would certainly not tell the English to be careful when coming to the East, where there is an unfathomable fleet.

Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal have always been able to get porcelain, silk, cloth, tea, and other good things that Europeans loved from the far East, and it is said that the profits can be ten times or even a hundred times that of changing hands.

The plundering English had long been eyeing the huge profits of the Oriental trade, but had been fighting for the past few years.

Now that they have finally risen from the eyes of powerful enemies, they are free to develop new colonies and increase their financial resources, so a fleet sets out, and their purpose is to open up the Far Eastern market.

The plan was to take an island in the Far East, a country rich in fine silk, or enclose a territory with a natural deep-water port and establish a colony.

When it comes to the notorious "East India Company", all Chinese think of Britain.

In fact, in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, Portugal, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, France and other countries successively established the East India Company in India, Indonesia, Malaya and other places in the Eastern Hemisphere.

That's because Columbus mistook America for India and spread false information, but later discovered that the real India was called the "East Indies" and the islands of the Caribbean Sea in the Americas were called the "West Indies".

The British East India Company reached an agreement with the Portuguese Governor of Goa to allow British merchants to enter and leave Macao freely for trade.

King Charles I of England issued a decree appointing Captain Weddell as commander and led six first-class warships to the East to open up markets and establish colonies.

Captain Weddell of the Royal Navy of the British Empire led the team, and six first-class warships of the British Royal Navy at that time came from thousands of miles away, with an average crew of more than 300 and a total of about 2,000 people.

The crew was not all sailors and gunners, half were musketeers, and many were craftsmen.

The English were the first to understand the true meaning of naval warfare and had begun to rely heavily on artillery fire against enemy ships, while the Spaniards' model of always carrying a large number of infantry in naval warfare was outdated.

Several battles with the English suffered heavy losses, because the English refused to engage in broadside battles, which directly led to the Spanish ships not only becoming decorations, but also becoming burdens, and suffered heavy casualties in the face of powerful artillery attacks.

Every time they lost a battle, the Spaniards suffered a large number of casualties, and gradually lost the upper hand in the battle with the English.

If nothing else, Britain will defeat Spain, the Netherlands and other maritime powers to become a new maritime hegemon, and the sun will never set on the empire in the future.

This was not only because of their fierce guns and advanced tactics, but also because the English had a pioneering spirit and were simply pervasive, and as soon as they had achieved strategic superiority in Europe, they were busy sending their fleets to the East.

Weddell's fleet had been well underway, establishing colonies at Bertcar, Cochin and Aceh along the way, and the plan was well executed.

Along the way, the old business of robbing merchant ships of other countries has also become prosperous, and by the time it entered the South China Sea, the number of ships owned by the fleet had doubled.
