Chapter 203: Capture Bazhuyuan Island

As soon as Zhu Youlang's words came out, the faces of Qu Shiyun and the others changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for Daming to make too many enemies at the moment." Qu Shiyun stood up and persuaded.

"Yes." As soon as Qu Shiyun's words fell, Yan Qiheng stood up and answered.

Looking at the faces of the cabinet ministers, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "This battle has to be started."

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang handed over the information sent back by Li Yuanyin, and Qu Shiyun and the others took it in puzzlement, and their faces gradually turned cold.

Especially the matter of the Luzon Tu Ming people in the Wanli period, they thought of the present and the face of the court.

"Your Majesty, Luzon really needs to be punished, but the current enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Tartars, and it is indeed not appropriate to make too many enemies." Thinking about the current situation, Qu Shiyun whispered and persuaded again.

Zhu Youlang glanced at Zhang Huangyan and said, "Is the sailor sure to take the Bazhuyuan Island?"

"Definitely can take it." Zhang Huangyan said firmly.

"Hmm." Zhu Youlang looked around at the cabinet ministers with an expressionless face: "This policy should not be changed, please encourage you." ”

Seeing this, Qu Shiyun and the others were a little disappointed in their hearts, they were not disappointed that Zhu Youlang did not listen to their opinions, but they were a little disappointed that Zhu Youlang pounced on the military and ignored civil affairs.

Although they also understand that Zhu Youlang is only interested in the transfer of officials and the general direction of the policy, those who are all in the body do not pay attention to it at all.

After the decision was made, Zhu Youlang discussed with the cabinets and others all the matters of the expedition, especially the diplomatic work from the Austrian side, and some commercial and trade means.

After Zhang Huangyan went out, he launched the last round of drills with Yu Yinggui, Chen Zisheng, Deng Yinglong and other generals of the dry water division.

A few days later, Bai Wenxiu, who had already preliminarily completed the reorganization, transferred a firearms battalion and an infantry battalion with a total of 2,000 men from Lu Mingchen's department to sail with the naval division.

You must know that this time you still need to land islands, which is a practical exercise for the next crossing the sea to Tamna.

After more than ten days of slow sailing, Zhang Huangyan took a total of 120 large ships such as Dafu ships and four-masted gunboats of the Sandu Division to go on the expedition, and this time there were countless material ships with the team.

Under the guidance of the boatmen and Jinyiwei, the Daming fleet passed through Wanli Shitang, Shixing Shitang, and then to an unnamed island, and waited for Jinyiwei's information for a short time.

"Marshal, there is a land temple on this island, should we go to worship and worship." Yu Yinggui came to Zhang Huangyan's side and said softly.

Zhang Huangyan put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand.

"Let's go, we should come here and pay homage to the land."

When Zhang Huangyan looked at a rather ancient land temple, he was a little curious: "How can there be a temple on this small island."

After that, Zhang Huangyan looked at the fishermen around him who led the way.

"General, I don't know when this temple is small, my family has been fishing for generations, I know this land temple when I am sensible, I have asked my father, but my father said that he doesn't know, anyway, we have worshiped this land for generations, in order to bless us with smooth sailing." Fishermen who have been fishing for generations should be honest.

"Oh." Zhang Huangyan straightened his clothes when he heard this, and poured tea and wine for the land.

"The marshal of the Ming Navy Division led the troops to pass through this place, and came to worship, if you disturb Wanwang, don't be surprised, the Ming Dynasty is the division of the people, such as the land to protect the people, if you win, I should worship every year." As he spoke, Zhang Huangyan kowtowed to the land a few times.

"Marshal, not far from this island is the place where Zheng Dabao once patrolled." The hereditary general of the Great Ming Water Division said softly in the first place.

"Hmm." Zhang Huangyan stood up straight and looked at the calm sea: "Wanli Shitang Shixing Shitang Wanli Changsha has always been a hunting and fishing place for the Han fishermen, all dynasties have been included in the governance, and the spring and autumn sailors of the early country have patrols. ”

"Marshal rest assured." Zhang Huangyan's generals all responded loudly.

After Zhang Huangyan had plenty of fresh water on this small island, Jinyiwei came to report.

"Marshal, Bazhuyuan Island is a terra nullius, there are no officials in Luzon, there are no soldiers and no one here, there are only a few tribes and savages on the island."

Looking at the Jinyi Wei Dahan General who came to report in front of him, Zhang Huangyan smiled, he was indeed happy, although he wanted to win a battle this time, but he was still happy that it was so easy to complete the task assigned by the emperor.

"The army will go straight to the island, lead the firearms battalion to speed up the landing, and then set up a camp to wait for the rear army." After a few breaths, Zhang Huangyan ordered with a certain face.

"Yes, Marshal."

A day later, the army was divided into three parts, one along the island to the north and stayed at a hundred miles away, one along the northwest and a hundred miles away, and one south and a hundred miles away.

After that, the Daifuku ship carrying the firearms battalion and the small battalion headed for a natural harbor on this island.

After the boat arrived at the edge of the island, countless bamboo rows were put down from the boat, and the soldiers all took the bamboo rows to the island, and after a sentry soldier arrived, he immediately rushed to the island to line up, and after another sentry soldier arrived, the sentry soldier immediately began to use the bamboo row to build a pontoon bridge.

Two hours later, the soldiers quickly made their way up to the island from the pontoon.

At noon, a battalion of firearms and a battalion of one step entered the island.

"Marshal, the soldiers have landed on the island." After the soldiers of the second battalion landed on the island, a brocade guard quickly came to report to Zhang Huangyan.

In fact, Zhang Huangyan also saw the situation of the soldiers landing on the island from the clairvoyant mirror, and Zhang Huangyan felt relieved when he saw this.

"Report to Your Majesty immediately, Bazhu Island has been taken, and it will return soon, and the rear army can be prepared."

"Yes, Marshal."

After Jinyiwei left, Zhang Huangyan once again raised the clairvoyant mirror to look at the array of soldiers on the island.

After all the supplies on the ship were transported to the island, Zhang Huangyan put away the clairvoyant mirror and shouted to the side of the soldiers: "Order Yu Yinggui to stay here, and the rest will return to Guangzhou with me and transport the rear army." ”

After that, Zhang Huangyan immediately ordered the ships to gather and began to return to Guangzhou.

At this time, the soldiers of the second battalion on the island also began to cut wood and bamboo to build a camp and look for water.

Three days later, Jin Yiwei's urgent secret letter was sent back to Zhu Youlang's hands.

Zhu Youlang came to the map, stared at Ba Yuandao, and looked at the secret letter in his hand from time to time.

"Let Bai Wenxuan come and see you."

An hour later, Bai Wenxuan came to Zhu Youlang.

"I will not meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty my Emperor." Bai Wenxuan knelt in front of Zhu Youlang and shouted loudly.

"Flat."

When Bai Wenxuan got up, Zhu Youlang handed over the secret letter: "Bazhu Island has been taken, you should also prepare for it." ”

After reading the secret letter clearly, Bai Wenxuan said calmly: "The general has already been prepared." ”

"You first dispatch Lu Mingchen's department to go, be sure to be proficient in the island's tactics, cooperate with the sailors, and strictly train troops in this sea area, and as soon as Tamluo is resolved, you will go north to Tamna."

"I don't understand." Bai Wenxuan's eyes looked at Zhu Youlang firmly: "When Your Majesty gives an order, you will not be able to lead this elite army to attack the city and seize the land, and restore the land of Kyushu." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Youlang pointed to Luzon with some satisfaction and said: "After you gain a firm foothold on this island, you can't take advantage of the people here to practice, but you must also remember that this island is the basic, and you will not attack Luzon, and you can decide yourself by fighting peace." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Read the latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
