With the name of the governor of the four provinces, it was more convenient and legitimate for Moli to mobilize troops and horses.

At the same time, in order to resist the powerful Houjin Iron Cavalry, Mo Li recruited a large number of troops as the governor of the four provinces, actively trained, and mobilized soldiers and horses to garrison Jiujiang. Because, Dolgon has already hit Anqing.

On this day, Mo Li was handling official business in the Yamen of the former Huguang Governor of Wuchang, when suddenly, Lu Hanzhang walked over lightly and said in a low voice: "Lord Mo, Admiral An Zhenhai asks to see you." ”

Lu Hanzhang now has long lost the sense of superiority over Mo Li, although he still follows Mo Li's side, but his role identity has been greatly changed.

At the beginning, Mo Li had to be careful when talking to Lu Hanzhang, because he had the power to report to Chongzhen and had the right to impeach Mo Li.

But after Chongzhen's death, Chongzhen's court fell apart, who could take care of him as a celebrant eunuch who was sent to supervise the army? As a result, Lu Hanzhang's children's shoes were like orphans who had lost their father's mother, and no one paid attention to them. Of course, Mo Li still gave him enough respect.

But Lu Hanzhang, who lost Chongzhen's support, no longer has any influence at all, in order to survive and protect himself, in this chaotic world, Lu Hanzhang can only follow Moli closely, because only Moli can defeat all forces along the way, including the powerful Jiannu Jin soldiers.

In other words, the current Lu Hanzhang has completely become a character who depends on Moli to survive, and in this case, he is naturally the only way to live a better life by pleasing Moli.

"Ask him to come in." Moli nodded.

A month ago, An Zhenhai led the Dengzhou Navy Division to take refuge, which made Moli overjoyed.

After Zhu Dadian abandoned Shandong, the Dengzhou Naval Division led by An Zhenhai also retreated all the way south and stopped at Songjiang.

Due to the lack of attention paid by the Hongguang Imperial Court to the sailors, no one cared about An Zhenhai's sailors in Songjiang, and they couldn't even pay the salary. In the end, An Zhenhai begged people everywhere, which barely sustained.

After the Battle of Yangzhou, the Dengzhou Navy Division hurriedly rushed to the aid of the starry night. Unfortunately, due to the delay in news and the lack of coordinated operations of the army, Yangzhou had already fallen when the Dengzhou Naval Division arrived in Yangzhou, and Nanjing, which had also been attacked by the Jin soldiers.

In the end, the sailors failed to save the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and at the cost of more than ten ships, coupled with the news of the loss of Nanjing, An Zhenhai decided to retreat.

But where to retreat became a question. Originally, no one cared about it when it was in Songjiang, but now that Nanjing has fallen, no one cares about this water division.

An Zhenhai and his subordinates urgently discussed, and finally decided to take refuge in Moli, the governor of Huguang. Because these days, the Ming army everywhere has been defeated and retreated, only the Mojia army has not been defeated, and it seems to have a faint upper hand.

And I heard that Moli also attaches great importance to the sailor, not only re-established the Wuchang sailor, but also built a new warship in Dting Lake and practiced hard.

After more than ten days of going upstream, by the way, exterminated a group of more than 200 Yangtze River bandits, An Zhenhai finally took the Dengzhou sailors to Wuchang.

At that time, Moli had not yet returned to Wuchang, and Li Guo, who was stationed in Wuchang, understood that Moli attached great importance to the development of the water division, and after hearing about it, he hurriedly and warmly received the Dengzhou water division.

In the past month, An Zhenhai has led his subordinates to train hard with the D Ting Lake Water Division, and has been looking forward to defeating the Jin soldiers one day and restoring the Han Dynasty.

"The last general will see Lord Mo!" An Zhenhai was not born tall, he had been training and fighting at sea for many years, and his complexion was much darker than others, but he gave people a short and concise feeling.

"Admiral, you're welcome, please get up!" Mo Li said enthusiastically.

"Master Xie." An Zhenhai got up and stood aside.

"Admiral, this official invited you here, there is a task I want to give to you, I wonder if Admiral is ready?"

"My lord, do you want our sailors to fight?" An Zhenhai said excitedly. In the past month, Mo Li has personally inspected the training of the Dengzhou Navy Division many times, and also added ten warships and dozens of artillery pieces and hundreds of rockets to them.

Mo Li nodded, turned his head and pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said, "Come and see, Anqing is here, Wuchang is here, Jiujiang is here, and the distance is not far." At present, Anqing has been occupied by the Tatars, and it is said that Zhang Xianzhong has surrendered to the Tatars.

There are also indications that Dolgon is mobilizing troops to prepare for an attack on Jiujiang and Wuchang. As the saying goes, the first strike is stronger, we can't just sit back and wait for the opponent to come to the door, we are now in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the water war will be more beneficial to us! ”

"Good! The last general is willing to be the striker and recover Anqing for the adults! An Zhenhai said loudly.

"The Tartars don't have a sailor, so we have a great advantage in this battle, but the Tartars will definitely set up a heavy defense at the Anqing Wharf. And in Anqing, Luzhou and other places, there are still a large number of troops of the Tartars, so we must fight quickly! Therefore, the officer decided to send out the cavalry and hit the Tartars by surprise! Moli said.

"Huh? Didn't the general ask our sailors to fight? An Zhenhai was a little stunned.

"Don't worry, Governor, listen to what the official says, ......"

The next day, the two water divisions of the Dting Lake Naval Division and the Dengzhou Naval Division gathered in Jiujiang, and hundreds of warships anchored on the shore, ready to be deployed at any time.

On the north bank of the Jiujiang River, 10,000 cavalry had been assembled, and with Mo Li's order, Zhou Yuji and Li Guo led 5,000 cavalry to Anqing respectively.

At the same time, hundreds of warships also began to set sail and sail down the river to Anqing. On the river, clouds and sails covered the sky and the sun, and the warships were loaded with soldiers with bright armor and began the journey to the east.

Behind the hundreds of warships, there were more than 200 civilian ships that had been temporarily requisitioned, and the ships were full of Mojia soldiers. Dare to love, these are troop carriers.

The Yangtze River went down the river, the speed was very fast, and when it was almost dusk, the two major sailors under the command of An Zhenhai and Xu Jianhua had already killed Anqing Wharf.

The docks were indeed full of golden soldiers with bright swords and guns. Under the command of An Zhenhai and Xu Jianhua, the officers and men of the naval division on the warships aimed at the Jin soldiers on the pier and opened fierce fire, and one shell after another roared and smashed into the Jin soldiers' positions, and the Jin soldiers let out a terrible wail.

Shore fire cannons were also set up on the Anqing wharf, but the number was far less than that of the Mojia Army's naval division, and they were simply beaten by the officers and soldiers of the naval division so that they couldn't raise their heads, where could they still fight back.

At this time, more than ten miles away from the city of Anqing, there were also earth-shattering shouts and gunshots, An Zhenhai and Xu Jianhua understood that this was the cavalry and had also arrived, and they were starting a siege battle.

In order to reinforce the cavalry of Zhou Yuji and Li Guo, the sailors increased the density of artillery strikes, and at the same time, rockets also bombarded the golden soldiers on the dock......
