The rumbling of cannon rang out all night, and at dawn there was finally silence all around.
Several cavalrymen of the Jinhua Righteous Army climbed from the mountain path to a cliff hanging stone protruding from the sea, and on the wide stone platform, the blue uniform, the light blue training hat, the shining silver half-body cuirass, and the dark brown war horse full of weapons and equipment, the style of the French military uniform in the Napoleonic period.
If you don't look at their yellow skin and yellow hair and yellow eyes, you might think that this is a Napoleonic army that has just conquered another region, but of course, if you look closely at their arms and chests, you will see that they are different here, because the red background of the Venus is the symbol of the Jinhua rebels.
"Last night the battle was fierce." Ruan Shu said to Chen Hanhui.
Chen Hanhui carefully observed the sea surface with the copper monocular in his hand.
The dilapidated ships roamed the sea like ghost ships, with no living person in sight, and fragments of corpses hung on masts, sails, and even gangs.
Some ships have flames that have not been extinguished, but still smoke and flames will burst out, and occasionally you can see a mast climbed up by the flames and the sails of the ship are fired.
The sea was full of boats of this kind of scene, and many corpses were surging forward with the waves, pushed onto the beach by the tide.
The sugar has been piled up with soaked white corpses, there are corpses of ragged pirates, there are corpses wearing Portuguese military uniforms, there are corpses wearing Ming official uniforms, corpses of Daming Xiangyong, and of course corpses wearing the uniforms of Jinhua Yijun sailors.
In the lens of the telescope, you can see a lot of shrimp and crabs, and there are earthworm-like things swimming around the corpses in the sea, densely packed and watching seep people.
"Admiral Du Ge led his men to exterminate the landed pirates in the territory," Nguyen recounted.
Chen Hanhui did not respond to his words, and continued to observe, in the distance, there were several sailor warships of the Jinhua Righteous Army on their way back, and one of the masts was broken and was pulled by three small boats, and the sailors on the three small boats rowed their oars vigorously and shouted the trumpet neatly.
A medium-sized ship swayed, like a drunken drunk, swaying from side to side in the wind, turning east and west, and the remaining few ships were full of holes in the hull, and the deck was in shambles.
"Why did you just come back with just a few ships and the rest of the ships?" Chen Hanhui said worriedly.
"Lord Commander, don't worry, Admiral Zhang Ying will definitely not be defeated by those foreign devils, maybe he just wants the injured or incapacitated ships to come back first, so that he can concentrate on pursuing the enemy." Ruan Shu replied carefully beside him.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and several war horses rushed to their side, along the seawall on the coastline, and a military general jumped off his war horse and climbed up quickly.
"Qi Sansheng, General Qi, why are you here?" Ruan Shu turned around and asked.
"Oh, Lord Ruan, I'm here to report to Lord Commander,"
Chen Hanhui looked back at him and asked, "Does Lord Admiral have any new instructions?" β
Qi Sansheng said: "Report to the Chief Soldier, Admiral Du Ge has completely exterminated the pirates who landed, captured a total of 17,000 pirates, killed 5,600 pirates, and there are still some sporadic pirates who are familiar with the terrain and have fled, but they are no longer afraid, Lord Du Ge has returned to Taizhou County." β
Chen Hanhui said: "How big are the losses of our army? β
Qi Sansheng said: "The losses are some, there are thousands of soldiers killed, more than 3,000 wounded, but the biggest loss is still some people, five fishing villages were slaughtered by the enemy, eight fishing villages were caught up and killed by the enemy on the way to escape, and more than 1,000 militia were killed, the village guards suffered even greater losses, at least thirteen villages were killed or seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness." β
"What's going on in Sanmen County?" Chen Hanhui continued to ask.
Qi Sansheng said: "I don't know this, but if you want to talk about naval battles, there should be no problem, there are all big ships that have captured the Portuguese, and there are a considerable number of Dutch and Portuguese sailors who act as sailors for those ships, there are more than 3,000 sailors in the sea, and more than 1,000 rebels in the naval team, there should be no problem." β
Chen Hanhui put the binoculars into his satchel, pulled the reins, and walked cautiously down the mountain with the people around him.
It's easy to go up the mountain, it's hard to go down, the war horse walks down little by little, occasionally there is a year-round old moss accumulation in some places, the horse's hooves are a little slippery, Qi Sansheng, who can see the walking, is frightened, and he is secretly glad that he has self-knowledge, and he didn't run up on a war horse, otherwise, at this time, he can only lead the war horse down, and when the time comes, let these people laugh at themselves and lose face.
After returning to Taizhou County, the situation in various places was summarized, and a staff member of the General Military Office reported the situation of this day to Chen Hanhui, and Chen Hanhui asked about the situation of the First Fleet on Longzhu Island in Sanmen County.
The staff said: "The enemy sent a harassing fleet over there, and although there were many ships, and the battle was hastily fought at night, at first it suffered some losses, and then it almost annihilated the invading enemy ships. β
Ruan Shu asked: "Du Ge is back, he went to suppress bandits on land, there is no one in charge of the sailors and soldiers there, who is so powerful that he can make the enemy so embarrassed?" β
The staff hurriedly checked some official documents, "My lord, it's a guy named Yu Xin, I heard that he used to be a pirate leader of Zheng Chenggong, and then Lord Hu Kui accepted it, and after Lord Hu Kui was transferred, Lord Du Ge continued to reuse him and put him in charge of the First Fleet of the Naval Division. β
Qi Sansheng said: "Yu Xin, I have heard that this person is one of the six generals under Zheng Chenggong, and it is Zheng Chenggongxin who received his henchmen, but I didn't expect him to come here." β
Chen Hanhui's face became solemn, stood up, and said solemnly: "Zheng Chenggong and the Governor are not all the way, the two people seem to be people from two camps, I heard that he and the King of Lu forces colluded, the two may come closer, and our adults nominally support Emperor Longwu, they are all descendants of the Zhu family, this is for the sake of imperial hegemony, the two people are destined not to be harmonious, if we adults don't know, we may suffer losses in the future, we must report this situation to our adults." β
Ruan Shu whispered: "My lord, Du Ge is You Haibo's family, although You Haibo said that he was the first to be loyal to the adult, but he later betrayed the adult, and when our Jinhua Righteous Army became famous, he was re-recruited by the adult, he is still loyal to the court in his heart, this loyalty to the court is said to be a very correct thing, but we are all favored by the governor, and promoted by the governor, they can be half-hearted, we can't." β
Chen Hanhui glanced at him and whispered, "I understand what you mean," he turned his head and whispered to his staff: "Prepare a recital for me, and I will report this matter to the adults." β
Qi Sansheng listened to their conversation and didn't speak, he was a general, but he was not a good general of these defected Jinhua rebels, and he would not participate in their internal affairs.
Knowing how to protect oneself is the best way, and what you hear today can only rot in your heart.
A soldier hurriedly ran in, "Report to your lordship, Admiral Zhang Ying's sailor has returned." β
