【Set Sail】Official YY: 208714, welcome everyone!

"Yueqing? It's Zhai Zhenhai's bastard, the old lady chopped her with a knife! Ye Yudie immediately raised her eyebrows: "Wash and stay behind, leave it to me!" ”

Don't underestimate Ye Niangzi's fleet, although it is now streamlined, only professional combat ships are retained, and those civilian ships that are temporarily brought in to make up the number have been converted into transport ships, but including the Baoshun ship, the entire fleet has thirteen large and medium-sized warships, with a total strength of nearly 1,000 people, and one hundred and ninety large and small artillery, especially the Baoshun wheel, in addition to the original two sixty-pounder rifled guns with rotating gun mounts, a bunch of Karen guns are also installed on both sides as secondary guns.

Even if she was pulled out for land battles, Ye Niangzi could barely make up a marine battalion, and there were also a large number of Mini rifles and small and medium-caliber artillery, so when she heard that Ye Niangzi agreed, she was relieved: "Ye Niangniang is like a god!" ”

Ye Yudie said Zhai Zhenhan's name before the incident: "He Zhai Zhenhai is just a sauce garden shop owner, his knowledge is limited, he doesn't know that the destiny is in me, and he intends to block the car with cockroaches, so he can only end up like this!" ”

Xi Na usually thinks that Ye Niangzi only climbed to Liu Chang with her beauty to have her current status, but now seeing Ye Yudie's decision to kill, and thinking of the order she gave on Yuhuan Island last time, she somewhat understands why this woman can succeed: "Jing Niangniang said very much, you have a lot of help, this time Zhai Zhenhan just wanted to launch, and he was already unwilling to obey the chaotic subordinates and immediately crossed the river to lead Lu Ping!" ”

In fact, Zhai Zhenhan just had such a motion, and the matter was still kept secret at the top level, preparing to launch a surprise blow to the Hong Army, and take advantage of the Hong Army's implementation of the Ningshao Campaign at the same time to directly recapture Yueqing County.

But this idea is one thing, and it is another thing in the process of implementation, this news was only spread at the top level for a long time, and immediately Zhai Zhenhan's team officers and shed chiefs directly crossed the river to report to Lu Ping in Yueqing County.

Moreover, these officers who ran over were not hooked by Yu Cun like the previous time, but took the initiative to come over, and some even brought the backbone of the troops over, especially many people from Dongxiang and Xixiang in Yueqing County, and even Zhai Zhenhan's Hongqiao villagers came over.

Originally, he wanted to move like a mountain and plunder like fire, but now this play has not been staged and it has been messed up, Zhai Zhenhan's Red Turban Army has just been assembled, and there are already as many as seventy or eighty old Red Turban officers and soldiers who crossed the river and defected to Lu Ping, Yueqing Zhi County.

And the news naturally can't be kept secret, Lu Ping is preparing to organize defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is in an emergency with Linhai Xina, who immediately mobilized troops to reinforce Yueqing County, and at the same time personally rushed over to ask Ye Niangzi for help: "Ye Niangniang, Yueqing only has an independent company of Lu Ping, and we have to face pressure from two sides, so please Niangniang!" ”

"No problem!" Ye Yudie replied: "There are just more than a dozen tons of boiler coal stored in Panshi Village, and it is only half a day's work for Baoshun Wheel to replenish coal in the past!" ”

This is the advantage of steamships, there is no need to consider the direction of the wind, the only thing to worry about is the problem of coal storage, so recently many Western merchants have brought in a ship or half a ship of coal at the same time as the arms.

It's just that this has caused a controversy between Ye Niangzi and Duncan on the distribution of coal, although Duncan has the status of a heavy naval officer, but he is the representative of the military industrial system after all, and now the military industrial system has just put into use a few steam engines and small open hearth furnaces, which has greatly improved efficiency, and even has been ready to manufacture small steam engines and firing rifles by itself, but limited to the shortage of coal, many times can only be replaced by charcoal, so the arrival of each ship of coal will trigger the debate between Ye Niangzi and Duncan. …,

It's just that in this situation, Duncan has to bow his head to Ye Niangzi, and the coal he reserves in Panshi Village has also been requisitioned by Ye Yudie.

Xina nodded, and immediately said, "Then set sail as soon as possible!" Yueqing has too few troops! ”

In the control area of the Hongjun, Yueqing County is a special area, in view of the agreement reached when receiving Yueqing, the Jintang Battalion originally stationed in Panshizhai returned to Taizhou Mansion, the entire Yueqing County's defense force, only a Yueqing independent company commanded by Lu Ping, although it is Lu Ping's old team, reliability is not a problem, but how much combat effectiveness can be said, it is not easy to say.

As for the township soldiers and basic militia below, although the number is not small, the formation time is very short, and Yueqing is Zhai Zhenhan's lair, how many are reliable, all this is difficult to say, so it can only be said that the soldiers are fast.

"Baoshun wheel, set sail immediately!"

With the completion of the fire, the Baoshun wheel immediately began to drive at full speed, ready to fight at any time, and even threw off Ye Niangzi's main fleet, and took the lead in sailing to Yueqing Bay, Ye Yudie stood at the bow of the boat, watching the waves rolling, and his mood was jīyang: "This is the sea that belongs to me!" Sunny sea! ”

The two 60-pounder rifled guns with rotating gun carriages are already invincible in the Zhejiang-Fujian Ocean, not to mention that a large number of Karen guns are also installed on both sides.

But in fact, except for some fishing boats that normally went to sea and transport ships that passed through the Zhejiang-Fujian Ocean, Ye Niangzi did not encounter any hostile warships, and the Baoshun sailed directly into the Oujiang River under Zhang Sigui's instructions.

To the north of the Oujiang River is Yueqing, and to the south is Zhai Zhenhan's territory, Ye Yudie ordered the crew to immediately enter the combat state and be ready to fight at any time, but reiterated: "But the first shot can't be fired by us!" ”

This is the principle formulated by Liu Chang, after sailing into the Oujiang River, the atmosphere of war is very strong, but in the face of such a roaring steam warship, Zhai Zhenhan's troops have no intention of firing, they can clearly understand that this is an egg against a stone.

Baoshun Wheel soon approached Panshi Village, the military workers here had been urgently armed, and Duncan shouted at Ye Yudie at the dock: "Ms. Ye, it's so good that your steamship has arrived, I can't support it anymore!" ”

"What's going on? Could it be that the Red Turban Army has already crossed the river? Ye Yudie asked.

“ｍ，ｍ！” Duncan told Ye Yudie: "It's not like this, the problem is that I have taken in too many Red Turban Army personnel now, I don't know what to do with them, and I don't know whether to issue them foreign guns!" ”

Ye Yudie learned that as soon as the news that Zhai Zhenhan was preparing to cross the river to fight with the Hongjun was confirmed, Ou Jiangshang quickly became busy, and many people even swam over directly to tell Duncan and Lu Ping such shocking news.

Now in front of Ye Niangzi is such a group of Red Turban officers and soldiers who have served them, and they have said their thoughts: "The Red Turban Army does not fight the Red Turban Army, in order to fight the demons, I have no two brothers, but I will not do it when I fight the Dragon Spear Battalion!" ”

"That's right, how can there be a reason for their own h cannibalism, this is absolutely not good, without the dragon spear battalion, how can we have our Red Turban Army today!"

"That's it, blood is still thicker than water, our Fengzi Battalion and Dragon Lance Battalion are good brothers at the root, we must not kill each other like this!"

If you ask carefully, it will be clearer that Zhai Zhenhan's team is based on Yueqing people, especially Dongxiang people, with Hongqiao people as the core.

But the more his foundation, team and core, the more opposed he was to march into Yueqing County, and when the news was confirmed, they crossed the river almost non-stop, and notified Lu Ping and Duncan as soon as possible. …,

Especially the Hongqiao people, they know how strong the combat effectiveness of the dragon lance battalion is, and how many foreign guns and cannons there are, so there are a lot of them, so far, the rock village alone has contained more than 400 people, Duncan is a little suspicious that they are Trojan horses sent by Zhai Zhenhan, so they are a little undecided.

Ye Yudie told Duncan: "Organize them all, this is our own people, we can rely on it!" ”

She had to sigh for Zhai Zhenhai, what a good family background, just defeated, these people are almost the earliest backbone of the Red Turban Army!

It's just that there are times when the fate of people is so providential, and she can't help but think of a certain dead ghost: "I won't regret giving such an order!" ”

At this time, someone crossed the river again, and the latest news came that Xu Fengfei, the commander of the Fengzi Battalion, had been placed under house arrest by Zhai Zhenhan.

Everyone knows that in the entire Red Turban Army, Xu Fengfei and Liu Chang have the best relationship, the two can be said to be old comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side, and Liu Chang often sells some foreign guns and cannons to the Fengzi Battalion.

Therefore, Zhai Zhenhan suspected that Xu Fengfei was behind these crossings of the river, so he put Xu Fengfei under house arrest as soon as possible.
