The Spring Festival of Chongzhen's sixth year arrived, and the travelers in North Korea did not return to Yulin Bay for the first time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

For more than 3 years, these traversers have already regarded Yulin Bay as their home, and a strong sense of homesickness has permeated the entire barracks.

"Look up, endless gray clouds; That season is called loneliness. backpacks, crammed for household use; The road is just that, and so it begins.

The sun is gone, the sun is warm; The night is gone, the blue of the moonlight. I had to choose the cold beginning, leaving only regrets.

The arrangement of fate and the observance of the logic of nature cannot reveal the mystery to anyone

。。。。。。 ”

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Deng Zhaohui sang this song 400 years later through wine.

Han Wantao and Xu Lang inspected the barracks and walked outside the Marine Company.

Both of them stopped and listened quietly to this poignant and homesick song.

"Wan Tao, do you miss your daughter?"

"Yes, I miss my daughter, I miss Tan Jing." Han Wantao wiped the corners of his eyes, "Give me a cigarette." ”

Xu Lang handed over a cigarette and lit one himself: "I'm homesick too, I don't know what Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo are doing now." ”

"Xu Lang, why aren't you getting married?"

"There is a hurdle in my heart, and I can't get over it."

"You literati, it's hard to wait for you for several years for Yiyi and Miss Zhao."

"Hey, Wan Tao." Xu Lang suddenly smiled, "Didn't Tan Jing promise you to take a concubine, do you want to?" ”

"I really don't want to." Han Wantao spat out a puff of cigarette, "Tan Jing is not easy. ”

Xu Lang saw that Han Wantao answered so seriously, and he couldn't joke anymore, so he pulled Han Wantao: "Let's go, our military camp hasn't been checked yet." ”

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, all the traversers rushed to the conference room of the brigade headquarters. The Dengzhou operation is on the agenda.

"Our operation in Korea has gone smoothly so far." Han Wantao was the first to speak, "But our main goal this time has not been finalized, and today we have this meeting to call everyone together to discuss the Dengzhou plan and block Kong Youde's actions." ”

"What else is there to discuss." Zhao Dequan shouted, "Drive the warship over and bomb the damn." ”

"Dequan, don't make a noise yet." Xu Lang smiled, "It's not so simple to go to Dengzhou. First of all, we have to determine the time, whether we go in advance and block Kong Youde in Dengzhou City, or pinch the time and annihilate him at sea. ”

"Chief of Staff Xu, is this any different?" Xin Jiaju asked.

"Of course not." Xu Lang explained, "If we go early, we will have to attack the city, what will happen to the casualties? Kong Youde also has artillery in his hands, and the number is no less than ours. Besides, we don't have a base in SD, so we can't float on the sea all the time. But if he is blocked at sea, will the time be so accurate, we only know that the historical data records that Kong Youde went to sea on February 12, but whether this historical data is accurate, whether there will be errors, and where we block him appropriately, these are all questions. If you make a mistake, you will fall short. ”

"Chief of Staff Xu." Xin Jiaju was a little stupid by Xu Lang, "What you said is too complicated." ”

"There's another problem." Xu Lang said again, "We don't have much food, Xie Tian went back to TJ to get food, but if he comes, it may take more than ten days." Shall we wait for him or shall we wait for him? ”

"We don't have to wait for him." Zeng Guangxian said, "If we conquer Dengzhou, wouldn't it be okay to directly collect grain locally?" ”

"That's a problem, too." Xu Lang turned his face to Zeng Guangxian, "There is no food in Dengzhou City at all, and even Kong Youde killed the horse and ate it." If we really hit Dengzhou, not only will we not be able to get food, but I am afraid we will have to take out food to help the victims. Also, although we are under the banner of Zheng Zhilong, I estimate that the possibility of us being stationed in Dengzhou is very small, and it is impossible for either Chen Yingyuan or the Ming Dynasty to let us stay in Dengzhou. We have to go back to Nanpu. ”

"Then what if we stay in Dengzhou and don't leave?" Wang Zhaoxing asked.

"I'm afraid not." Xu Lang directly rejected this idea, "I originally meant that it was best to take Dengzhou and Nanpu at the same time, but now it seems that it is impossible, at least the army is not enough." Our mixed brigade is less than 3,000 people, and the strength is far from enough to be stationed in two places. Therefore, our goal should still be on annihilating Kong Youde, as long as Kong Youde is defeated, we will return to Nanpu. ”

"If that's the case." Zhang Hai suggested, "Since we don't want to go to Dengzhou, don't go to attack the city." Let's set off a few days in advance and annihilate Kong Youde on the sea. I think it's okay to drift at sea for two or three days, and in this case, you don't need to use the army, and it can be safer here in Nanpu. ”

"Zhang Hai, your idea is very good." An Yuhang agreed, "Dengzhou is almost 200 nautical miles away from Nanpu, we can arrive in more than one day at most, we can leave three days in advance, and we don't have to think about which route Kong Youde will take, so we will block him in the sea off Dengzhou." ”

Han Wantao, Zeng Guangxian and several others looked at each other, and Han Wantao said: "I agree with Zhang Hai and An Yuhang's proposal, let's set off on the ninth day of February and arrive in Dengzhou before February 12." In this way, we can still have more than a month to prepare, and we can also wait for Xie Tian's food. ”

The entire Dengzhou plan was thus determined. Zeng Guangxian and Wang Zhaoxing began to prepare, Xu Lang took people to Pyongyang twice and bought back a little food and necessities, but Xie Tian never arrived.

"What's going on with this Xie Tian?" Xu Lang raised his doubts to Han Wantao again, "Even if TJ is far away, he should come, he knows that we are short of food now." ”

"Maybe something happened." Han Wantao said, "SD is now like this, and TJ's grain is estimated to be difficult to buy." ”

"It can't be an accident at sea, right?"

"Don't crow's mouth." Han Wantao was also a little flustered by Xu Lang's words, "It shouldn't be." ”

"Today is the third day of February, and we will leave in five or six days." Xu Lang suddenly lowered his voice, "You know, even if I go to Pyongyang twice, our military rations are only enough for half a month." ”

"Don't worry about that yet." Han Wantao said, "It doesn't matter if Xie Tian comes or not, and if something goes wrong, let's set off on time, defeating Kong Youde is the ultimate goal, and we will talk about anything else when we defeat him." ”

Just when Xu Lang was worried about the military rations, Xie Tian finally took the boat to Nanpu.

"Xie Tian, you're here." Xu Lang asked, "Why has it been delayed for so long, is there something wrong?" ”

"Back to Chief of Staff, nothing went wrong. It's just that there is also a shortage of food on TJ's side, and the price of food is rising vigorously, and there was a lot of wind and waves a few days ago, and no boatman was willing to go to sea, so it has been delayed until now. ”

"Okay, just get there, it's not delayed." Han Wantao was relieved, "How much did you send this time?" ”

"Report to the sir, this time it's more than last time, 50,000 catties."

"Why is it only 50,000 catties." Han Wantao was a little anxious.

"Sir, food is indeed tight. But don't worry, sir, I've already arranged for someone to go to BJ to buy food. ”

Xu Lang suddenly had a trace of doubt in his heart, but he didn't show it, just waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, Xie Tian, go down and rest." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the second month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, four warships loaded with guns and ammunition set off from Nanpu. Because there was no need to attack Dengzhou this time, Han Wantao, Wang Zhaoxing and Xu Lang led the team, and Zeng Guangxian and Zhang Hai stayed in Nanpu.

After a day and a night of non-stop sailing, at noon on the 10th day of the second lunar month, four warships sailed to the open sea of Dengzhou City.

Han Wantao looked at the majestic Dengzhou City from the telescope and couldn't help but sigh: "This is Penglai Wonderland." ”

"What? Do you want to cultivate immortals? Xu Lang said with a smile.

"When we defeat the Manchu Dynasty, I really want to take Tan Jing to live here, what a good environment."

"Let's talk about it when the Manchu Qing is defeated." Xu Lang muttered.

The sailors at the lookout post suddenly shouted: "Report to the sir, the warship was spotted in the direction of 3 o'clock in the west." ”

"Warships?" Han Wantao paused for a moment, "Could it be that Kong Youde is going to run today?" Didn't you run two days later? ”

Xu Lang didn't bother to answer Han Wantao's question, raised his head and shouted: "How many warships, what flags are they on?" ”

"Report to the chief, there is only one warship, and it is flying the Ming flag."

"A warship, how can there be only one warship." Wang Zhaoxing next to him was also a little confused.

"Don't guess." Xu Lang said, "It must be Kong Youde's ship, it is estimated that it came out to explore the way." That's fine, let's kill him first, just grab a few people to ask about the situation in Dengzhou City. ”

"You won't startle the snake, will you?" Han Wantao was a little hesitant.

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Lang said, "I still wish I could scare the grass and snakes, if Kong Youde comes out now, we won't have to drift for another two or three days." ”

"That's right." Han Wantao made up his mind, "Lao Wang, order him to be sunk." ”

"Yes." Wang Zhaoxing turned around and ordered, "Order, the God and Quanzhou turn the rudder 90 degrees to the right, raise the bright flag, and sink the enemy ship in front." ”

Without any accidents, the God and Quanzhou bombarded, and the poor warship with the Daming flag was torn apart.

Half an hour later, more than 20 wet sailors were escorted to the deck of the Fuzhou.

A sailor who looked like an officer was full of disbelief, and he came up and began to shout: "Whose subordinates are you, why do you want to sink us?" ”

"I'll ask you that question." Han Wantao pointed at the officer contemptuously, "Whose subordinates are you, and the rebels and thieves dare to shout." ”

"Who are the rebels and thieves?" The officer was quite unconvinced, "Didn't you see the Daming banner we hoisted?" We are under the command of Lord Chen. ”

"Lord Chen?" Han Wantao didn't react for a while, "Which Lord Chen?" ”

"Which other Lord Chen, Lord Chen Yingyuan, the governor of Denglai."

Han Wantao was stupid there, it couldn't be a mistake: "You are not Kong Youde's people?" ”

"You're the rebel." The officer stared at Han Wantao, "Who the hell are you from?" ”

Xu Lang suddenly grabbed the officer: "What about Kong Youde?" Where is Kong Youde? ”

The officer seemed to be frightened by Xu Lang's expression, and replied hesitantly: "The traitor Kong Youde abandoned the city and fled a month ago. ”

"Impossible, impossible." The traversers around were all dumbfounded, "How is this possible, history has changed?" ”

"Hahahaha." Xu Lang suddenly laughed out loud, "Carving insect skills, how can you coax me, you are Kong Youde's people, what are you Lord Chen's subordinates, who can you fool?" ”

"What did I lie to you?" The officer was also anxious, "Lord Chen is in Dengzhou City, if you don't believe it, go and ask yourself." ”

Han Wantao waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take these people into custody first.

"How so? How so? How is this possible? Xu Lang kept muttering and turning in circles in the captain's room like a demon.

"Don't turn around, I'm dizzy when I turn." Han Wantao was also anxious, "What should we do now, whether that person is telling the truth or not." ”

"Brigade Commander Han, Xu Lang." Wang Zhaoxing said, "No one knows what went wrong now, it's useless for us to be anxious, I suggest driving to Dengzhou City to see if the people in Dengzhou City are Kong Youde or Chen Yingyuan." ”

"Go to Dengzhou, we'll go to Dengzhou right away." Xu Lang stopped turning in circles, "I want to see if it's a tanuki for a prince." ”
