Chapter 301 Fujian Raiders

Zhu Maru Mei said categorically! "There are edicts, and there are no edicts, it's all my mouth, we are such good sisters, I don't want to lie to you! Now it's only right how to invite my sister out of the city of Tianjing, and I have forgotten what the edict is! ”

Shi Tinglan immediately asked, "Are you guarding that edict?" ”

"I've seen it! Let the Hong army immediately march north and besiege Hangjiahu to relieve the siege of Beijing, you don't have to look at it, you can guess this content! Zhu Jiumei's voice was very crisp: "But I arrived at Ningbo Mansion and first inspected the situation in Ningbo Port. ”

"yes!" Shi Tinglan revealed the bottom: "Prepare to train the soldiers of the Hong Army this year, and fight Hangjiahu next year!" ”

"Amazing!" Zhu Jiumei immediately said: "Amazing, now this soldier of Liu Checkpoint, although he lacks a little bit of experience, is already a first-class elite soldier in the world, if he has a few more months to teach, it will be absolutely amazing!" ”

Yang Changmei took her words and said, "But how can the ninth sister explain to my brother and the Wing King!" ”

Zhu Jiumei said very clearly: "What is there to explain this, this is not when we first entered Tianjing, we were still suspicious of the Heavenly Father's descent to the earth, and now we have followed the East King for many years, what is the Heavenly Kingdom, what is the time of the Heavenly Father, what is the situation of the Heavenly Father's descent to the earth, and what is the situation of the Tianjing City, we have already counted!" ”

This is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a little disappointed and even desperate, Zhu Jiumei continued: "Those who really believe in this, that is, you Guangxi people, we Hubei people joined later, I don't believe in this very much, and now I am thinking about how to get out!" ”

She said again: "Eldest sister, Sister Tinglan, when you leave Tianjing, you must be looking for a way out for everyone, this place is better than Tianjing Jiancheng......"

"Hmm!" Yang Changmei said bluntly: "Yes, although we are under one person and above ten thousand people in Tianjing City, there are only a few female guards here, but we are still happy here!" ”

These big-footed Guangxi women, called "thief women" by the Qing army, it is impossible to return to the original ordinary life, not to mention that the Qing army caught them was the end of torture and killing on the spot, now that I think about it, only Hongjun can accommodate here.

Zhu Jiumei made it clear and said: "I am in Tianjing, our sisters are usually the most favored by the East King, but the closer I get to the East King, the more afraid I am of him, we persuade him, but he doesn't listen!" ”

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, is such a figure like Optimus Prime of the Heavenly Kingdom, but the closer you get to him, the more damage you will often suffer, and his stubbornness has reached its peak, and no one can change his mind, Zhu Jiumei continued to say bluntly: "I suspect that in Tianjing City, everyone only knows that there is an East King, but I don't know that there is a Heavenly King, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end......"

When it came to the political pattern of the East King and the Heavenly King, Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei both sighed, but for such a political situation, they didn't know that there was any way to solve it, so Shi Tinglan said: "It would be good if it could drag on next year!" ”

After next year, Hongjun will be able to really become a climate, and at that time there may be a chance to recover, and Zhu Jiumei said: "The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to invite my sister to Zhejiang!" ”

The three women sighed again.

Wenzhou City.

The rise of Ningbo Lou led to the decline of the military arms trade in Wenzhou, and many military fireships went directly to Ningbo to conduct the arms trade, but soon, some Western merchants found that the arms trade in Wenzhou port was still profitable, and there was no customs here, and they could trade directly with the Hongjun. …,

As a result, a large amount of military fire flowed into Wenzhou, and there was the only military industry and steam ships in Wenzhou, where they could transport a batch of high-quality coal to get a good return.

In this coal war, Ye Niangzi once again overpowered Duncan, and successfully won enough boiler coal for her Baoshun to sail for two months.

And now, the senior cadres of the Wenzhou Hongjun, from Xu Fengfei and Liu Gongrui of the Red Turban Army, to Lu Ping and Zhang Sigui on Ye Niangzi's side, almost all gathered in Wenzhou Fucheng, waiting for Ye Niangzi's order.

"Our plan to march to Fujian, the inspection has been agreed!" Ye Niangzi announced a good news at the meeting: "The inspection point allows us to do it with confidence, don't worry about losses, Guan Jian is taking advantage of the autumn harvest to take a few more county seats!" ”

"Good!" Although Lu Ping is only a county governor of Yueqing, he is a person who dares to speak: "Although we don't have many troops in Yueqing County, we want food and salary, and we try our best to support the military!" ”

And the new prefect of Wenzhou, Shi Jingfen, the former prefect of Jinhua who has not been here for a long time, also agreed with Ye Niangzi's judgment: "Fighting northern Fujian, although the Red Turban Army failed last time, but this time there is a good chance, but I have a request, I am the one who led the troops, can I lead a team to northern Fujian!" ”

In the system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nominally there was an insurmountable dividing line between the civil and military forces, but in reality, it was the civilian commanders who were the majority, and the warriors were just lackeys.

It's just that in this way, Ye Niangzi is a little embarrassed, this time to attack Fujian, Wenzhou Mansion is just a side attack, and it is Lu Ziyun's way that really does it, but she did not publicly express reaction: "Shi Zhifu has just arrived, first straighten out the people and things in Wenzhou Mansion!" The main force of this attack was the sailor, especially the Baoshun wheel. ”

Zhang Sigui over there also volunteered: "Ye Niangniang, we have no problem with the sailor, along the coast of Fujian, no matter which island or seaport is large, we will fight it!" ”

Now the entire Ye Niangzi's sailor already has two steamships, and De Mons has just spent 22,000 silver yuan to buy another steam paddle steamer from Hong Kong, and sold it to the sailor of the Hongjun army at an additional price of 12,000 silver yuan.

The tonnage of this new steam paddle steamer is slightly smaller than that of Zhang Sigui's Baoshun, but the ship is newer, and it is also equipped with two 60-pound rifling wires at the bow and tail, in addition to a large number of Cullen guns, and the Hongjun temporarily refers to the steam paddle steamer that is still in training as the "No. 2 capital ship".

It's just that in this way, Zhang Sigui's enthusiasm burst out all of a sudden, although the No. 2 capital ship did not form combat effectiveness, he felt a lot of pressure, plus the Hongjun Navy originally had Ye Niangzi and Liu Chang's people, he was looking forward to using a battle exploit to show himself.

"Good!" Ye Niangzi said: "This operation will be handed over to Zhang Tong, and Zhang Sigui is responsible for all the warships below the Baoshun wheel, but this operation is to affect the Qing army in Fujian, as long as the momentum is sufficient!" ”

Zhang Sigui himself understands that Ye Niangzi usually pays attention to the benefits of gain and loss, and he sails this time, I am afraid that he will use up half of the coal storage in Wenzhou Port, in this case, Ye Niangzi's pursuit is not to destroy how many Qing army sailors' red single ships and lucky ships, but to hope to get enough loot to compensate for the expenditure on the navy: "No problem, I will focus on the sea!" ”

This is clear enough, and Ye Niangzi didn't pick it out and said, "That's good!" Duncan and I fought for a long time for the coal used to go to sea this time, and in the end we still didn't fight me, although so, it should be noted that we also have to consider Duncan's feelings! ”…,

Coal! This has become the biggest bottleneck for the entire Rainbow Army Navy and the military industry, both the Navy and Duncan's side are seriously considering replacing some coal with charcoal, and even have already put it into practice.

However, although Zhejiang is very rich, it lacks iron and coal, and it is unqualified as a heavy industry base, so it is not qualified to wash and take a suggestion: "If Zhang Tong takes him south to Fujian this time, you can find it, where there is coal and iron in Fujian, hey......——,"

He himself once served as the left-behind guard of Panshi Village, and naturally knew that the newly established military industry and heavy industry were thirsty for coal and iron, but the Hongjun had searched all over the six prefectures of Wendi, Jintai, Ningshao, and had not yet found a working iron mine and coal mine.

In this case, the entire heavy industry was completely dependent on the coal and pig iron shipped from Shanghai, and had to compete with the navy for this part of the coal purchased abroad, and most of the time it was in a state of shutdown.

Zhang Sigui nodded: "I will pay attention to this, but the premise is that the Baoshun Wheel must have enough boiler coal to carry out such frequent battles." ”

In this time and space, coal has replaced oil and has become the decisive factor in the entire naval operation, and Shi Jingfen put forward a suggestion: "In this operation, our main force is to eliminate the Qing Demon troops in Fujian, but we can't let go of the Dinghai Hall!" The inspector has already sent a letter urging him twice.

Dinghai Hall? Ye Niangzi felt a pain in her heart, but said: "We were originally going to sweep the Dinghai Hall with the Baoshun ship, and I heard that Bu Xingyou has rebuilt his fleet there!" ”

Not only did Buxing gather there, but there were also many pirate ships and Qing army sailors operating near the Dinghai Hall, posing a huge threat to the Hong Army at sea.

Originally, in the planning of the Hong Army, it was planned to capture Dinghai Hall in one fell swoop at the same time as the Ningshao Battle was launched, and even designated Ye Niangzi's fleet to be fully responsible, but no one expected that there was an accident that Qu Zhenhan went north to Yueqing, and the result was that the entire Hong Army Naval Division was dragged to Wenzhou, and the Dinghai landing operation has not yet been implemented.

In this way, a large number of Qing army fleets and pirate fleets gathered in the entire Dinghai Hall, and even the escort fleet of the Grape People retreated to Dinghai, which formed a certain threat to the Hong Army at sea several times.

What's more, Shi Jingfen didn't hesitate to break a little: "In Dinghai Hall, there is not only Bu Xingyou, but also Ge Mengjin!" ”。 ）
