"Order."

"Order."

Gan Hui and Gu San Mazi had just clasped their fists and saluted, when they suddenly heard the wind whistling outside. Song Youliang came to the outside of the cabin to take a look, and saw that the streamers in the crosswind direction pointed straight to the north

"The south wind is blowing, God really help me." Song Youliang shouted excitedly: "General Gan, General Gu, the time has come to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Wansheng~" The Ming soldiers on the Dingyuan let out a cry of victory

Under the sudden strong south wind, the Ming army moved quickly, and before Shang Kexi could react, the warships on the right flank of its queue were already under the attack of the Ming army on both sides, and because of the anchor to meet the battle, the left flank of Shang Kexi's troops could not enter the battle at all, and could only watch the Ming fleet beat the ships of Shang Kexi's fleet into burning torches one by one.

Gu San Mazi's warship was light and small, and after rushing into the rear of Shang Kexi's fleet group, he immediately shuttled back and forth between the Great Fortune ships like Sun Wukong into the belly of Princess Iron Fan. And fifteen large ships were divided into three groups, and the Shang Kexi fleet was inserted simultaneously from the left flank and from the front. Although the Ming warship was huge, because it was advancing longitudinally, the impact surface was small, and the range of the Qing army's artillery was not as good as that of the Ming army, so the losses suffered were not very large

After entering the line of Shang Kexi's fleet, the guns on both sides of the Ming battleships opened fire together, and some of the Qing ships only seen in the three-way column could not resist the fierce artillery bombardment from both sides at close range. The warship was either blazing or sinking slowly, and the fragments of the ships and the corpses of the soldiers floated all over the sea near the old dragon's head

After entering the inner side of the iron barrel formation, Song Youliang ordered the right side guns to bombard the Qing warship with all their might, and the left side guns also carried out a fierce shelling of the shipyards on the shore. Gu San Mazi even sent a fireboat to ignite the dock with firewood and grass, and the strong south wind fueled the fire. The fire soon spread to the shipyard on the shore, and suddenly Dalian Bay burst into flames, reflecting the entire bay red

By the time the battle had progressed, the still gratifying iron bucket array no longer existed, and the Qing ships on the right flank quickly turned around and counterattacked the Ming fleet with their numerical superiority. Although the artillery of the Ming fleet was still roaring, close quarters of broadside battles and jumps were inevitable.

As both sides entered the range of their respective artillery, the losses of the Ming fleet began to increase significantly, and the Qing army relied on its numerical superiority to beat the Ming warships all over the body. Due to the small hull of Gu Sanmazi's fleet, more than a dozen warships have been abandoned or sunk. The large and small warships of the Qing army, which gathered like ants, began to throw their hooks and locks, intending to board the ship for hand-to-hand combat

"Signal U-turn, all sail out of the bay!" Song Youliang decisively ordered, the Ming fleet under the guidance of fifteen large ships from the inner side of Dalian Bay, rushed to support the left flank of the Qing ships were again attacked from both sides by heavy artillery fire, more than a dozen Dafu ships were shot and caught fire

At three o'clock in the afternoon (11:30), the Ming fleet sailing out of the bay turned around again, taking advantage of the advantage of artillery range to force the Qing army into Dalian Bay. More than 40 Qing ships were huddled together in the bay to avoid artillery fire. Song Youliang ordered Gu San Mazi to release the fire boat again, this time, the crowded Qing ship was unavoidable, and finally let Gu San Mazi repeat the burning of the serial ship as he wished.

At this time, the fire in the bay was completely out of control, and the fire spread to the land, not only burning the docks and shipyards, but even igniting the nearby forest, and the raging fire lit up half of the sky.

Shang Kexi, who fled to land in embarrassment, looked at Dalian Bay, his chest was like a big stone, and he yelled: "Song Youliang~~~", before the words fell, Shang Kexi suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell on the back of a horse.

"Lord Wang~~" Shang Kexi's personal soldiers hurriedly lifted Shang Kexi with their hands and feet, and fled north for their lives

After the battle of Dalian Bay, Song Youliang's ship did not stop sailing, continued to go south, and destroyed the Manchu Qing shipyard in Lushunkou, so far, the Manchu Qingshui army base in Liaodong was destroyed, and since then the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea have become the world of the Ming naval army. Most of the warships built by Shang Kexi were burned and sunk, 36 large and small ships were captured by the Ming army, and a number of water warfare weapons such as Hongyi cannons, Franco machine guns, guns, swords and other hot and cold weapons were also moved back to Dengzhou by Song Youliang

On January 15 of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Yongping, Shuntian and Hejian Province found a large number of ship fragments and the bodies of drowned Manchu soldiers on the seaside. Only then did I know that a few days ago there was a thrilling sea battle on the sea surface of Liaodong.

"What a Song Youliang!" Chongzhen read Wu Mengming's secret report in Xinuan Pavilion, happily patted the dragon case, and said with a smile: "This kid really didn't disappoint me, what three years of small success, five years of great success, this is less than a year, and he gave me a big gift." I'm so lucky! ”

Wang Chengen also smiled on the side: "Your Majesty is eclectic and reduces talents, this is my great luck." ”

Chongzhen nodded very appreciatively and said, "Wang Chenen, then how do you say I should reward him?" ”

Wang Chengen thought for a while and replied: "Song Youliang only had a guerrilla vacancy rank before, so it is better for Your Majesty to follow the method of Zheng Zhilong and also make him a general." ”

"Hmm~" Chongzhen nodded, "This method is good, but what is the name?" ”

"Song Youliang broke the East Captives, it is better to call him General Poyu!" Wang Chengen replied with a smile

"Okay~ It's called General Po, and then I will order the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry to make seals." Chongzhen

On January 15, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the official army pursued Zhang Xianzhong to Kaixian. Yang Sichang led the army to Yunyang, and the rest of the generals went to Huangling City, Kaixian County. The general army is as fierce as a tiger, and the general Liu Shijie faces the battle. Liu Shijie led the army deep into the battle formation and was invincible. Zhang Xianzhong climbed high and saw the banner of the Qin people, while Zuo Liangyu's army had no fighting spirit. It is a strong man who sneaks in the valley and gallops down with a tall shout. Zuo Liangyu's soldiers were defeated first, Shijie and the guerrilla Guo Kai, and Ruhuzi Xianjie were all killed in battle, and Ruhu broke out.

On 18 January, two more departments were added to the Dengzhou government, one being the Dengzhou Propaganda Department and the first newspaper office in Dengzhou under its jurisdiction.

On the most lively market street in Dengzhou Prefecture, gongs and drums are noisy at the door of a large mansion, colorful flags are fluttering, firecrackers, and two kicks are constantly making cheerful shouts. Under the attention of countless onlookers, a gilded plaque was hung on the lintel - Qilu Newspaper Hall, these four big characters are inscribed by Yuan Shu, the superintendent of the army, and the penmanship is strong and soft.

This is the opening of the newspaper supported by Song Youliang, as a traverser, Song Youliang knows the power of the media too well, and is even called the fourth power in addition to the legislative, judicial, and administrative powers. Who has mastered public opinion. Who controls the right to speak. Whoever holds the truth! It's time to control the rhetoric of a townland. Although control of public opinion. There is a suspicion of obstructing freedom of expression. And at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was also a well-known era of freedom of speech in Chinese history.

First of all, I have to solve the problem of eating for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I know the etiquette enough. Food and clothing are sufficient to know honor and disgrace. The people were fed. They naturally choose the path they should take. At that time, you only need to pay attention to and follow the trend of history. Now I'm going to do it myself.
