Buchen has?

As soon as this name was mentioned, both Xina and Gao Liang pricked up their ears, and their attention became highly concentrated, and Gao Liang Cai asked directly: "Ye Niangniang, what's going on?" ”

Ye Yudie also explained the cause and effect clearly: "In May, Bu Xingyou said that he was giving me a big gift, but he withdrew from Dachen Mountain and handed Su Jingrong into our hands!" ”

As soon as Su Jingrong died, the anti-Rainbow Army forces in the Taizhou capital lost their backbone, and the whole government was settled, and now everything is going smoothly, and many areas are already firmly in the hands of the Rainbow Army, even if the main force of the Rainbow Army is defeated, there are still local armed forces holding on there.

But why did Bu Xingyou betray Su Jingrong, the two of them can only estimate that Bu Xing has a little strength to annex Su Jingrong, but the battle of Xiangshan not long ago made Ye Yudie, Xina and Gao Liangcai incomprehensible.

This time, Bu Xingyou gave up all the sea surfaces of Xiangshan and let Ye Yudie's fleet support the army in the coastal waters of Xiangshan, which played a great role, but in this way, Bu Xingyou also lost the fishing grounds in the area of Xiangshan and lost a lot of income.

So she asked, "What the hell is going on with Bu Xingyou, he is a thief at sea, I don't believe he is so kind to give us big pies again and again!" ”

You must know that during this time, Bu Xingyou basically did not fight with Ye Niangzi, and as a result, in this case, Ye Niangzi's fleet recovered its original strength of seventy or eighty percent, and also forged many six-pound and twelve-pound Karen cannons.

This kind of cannon is suitable for small warships, although the range is short, but it is the most suitable object in the low-intensity naval battle off the coast of the Central People's Republic of China.

It's just that now Ye Niangzi told Xina and Gao Liangcai more important news: "Bu Xingyou just sent someone to inform me that the Baoshun steamer ordered by the Ningbo North merchant from Shanghai is about to be handed over to the North merchant, and the ship has cost a total of 140,000 taels of silver!" ”

This is almost more than double the original purchase, the merchants of Ningbo North did not come up with so much money at all, and now Duan Guangqing has advanced the purchase price of this steam steamer with public funds, so the finances of Ningbo Government have become very tight.

But the operation of this Baoshun steamship represents the end of the pirates of the North and South Seas, you must know that in history, the Baoshun annihilated sixty-eight pirate ships in one voyage, and it is also the last for Ye Niangzi's maritime fleet.

Even if Ye Niangzi's red single boat can be equipped with a Karen cannon, it is not the opponent of this steam-armed steamship at all, so Bu Xingyou gave a very favorable condition for both sides: "Ye Niangzi, the Baoshun ship has just arrived in Ningbo, and it is still a month of training before going to sea, Ye Niangzi, if you are willing to kill this Baoshun steamer for Bu Ye, Bu Ye will admit that the sea of Taizhou is your territory."

Xiangshan and the sea have to be returned to Buxing, but this is not important, and now the washing and sorghum materials are concerned about the problem of this Baoshun ship.

This Baoshun ship has always been in their sight, but this ship is too much of a threat to the maritime security of the Rainbow Army, and now the Rainbow Army's munitions are all dependent on the sea supply of Xiang Rusya, except for some impeachment pills, she can even run twice a month and a half.

In this case, the safety of the sea is related to the life and death of the Hong Army, although the Hong Army has tried all means before, and even let De Mengsi rush to buy and complain to the Qing government everywhere, but in the desperate situation, the merchants of Ningbo North still got the Baoshun wheel they wanted. …,

The purchase of the Baoshun Wheel is also a great threat to Bu Xingyou, he relies on the escort of the sea and the protection of fishing and food, and the steam ships like the Baoshun Ship are taken out to escort them, and their livelihood has become a problem.

Therefore, the plan he proposed is very tempting for Ye Niangzi and Xina, Gaoliang material, and now the Baoshun ship has just arrived in Ningbo Port, and it is still in the run-in period, and the crew can not give full play to the full combat effectiveness of this steamship, and more importantly, Buxing has sent someone to tell Ye Niangzi about the flaws of the steamship.

Although the steamship runs fast, it does not need sails or manpower, but the steam engine is a big troubled thing, and it will take at least an hour to regenerate the fire after the ceasefire.

And he also assured Ye Niangzi that not only he Buxing would provide help, but also the Portuguese in Ningbo would also provide the same help, knowing that the Portuguese escort business in Ningbo Mansion could earn 750,000 silver yuan a year.

If this Baoshun ship is put into use, then the annual income of the grape people will be reduced by at least thirty percent, or even half, in this case, Ye Niangzi told Xina and Gao Liang Cai: "Bu Xingyou said that I am excited, I have the heart to go to Ningbo Mansion, but I am not determined",

"I can't make up my mind!" This is Xina's answer, but in the next sentence, he provided constructive advice: "Ye Niangniang, even if you leave the fleet, you have to go to Jinhua Mansion, I can't be the master of this matter, and you can't be the master, only the inspection can." ”

After all, this is a matter of life and death for the entire fleet of six or seven hundred people!

Ye Niangzi understood: "I'll go to Jinhua Mansion and find an inspection point to ask about it." ”

"This is the Shaoxing Mansion is now presided over by Wang Luqian, the deputy envoy of the regimental training, but according to our intelligence, most of the regimental training in Shaoxing Mansion has no combat effectiveness, or the combat effectiveness is very poor, and the only one who has combat effectiveness is Xie Jing's Huang Touyong."

Shi Tinglan pointed out the defense situation of Shaoxing Mansion on the map: "In Shaoxing Mansion, He Wenqing of Zhuji County has contacted us, he is a well-known doctor in the county, and he is a good man."

Liu Chang also understood this situation, this He Wenqing is also a good man in history, Liu Chang nodded: "Continue"

"But now it should be noted that now in Zhuji County, there is a political group training that is moving around with superstitious means, and has set up a group near Bao Village, and the language is extremely vicious, and the unscrupulous people of Jintai and Jintai have gone to Benbao Village!"

The so-called "unscrupulous people in the two governments." "Naturally, those diehards who have a deep blood feud with the Hong Army and are determined to fight the Hong Army to the end, they see that the Hong Army is already an irresistible existence in the two mansions of Jin, so they can only go to Baocun, Shaoxing, to join this group training leader who swore to kill Liu Checkpoint.

You must know that the composition of this group training is different from that of ordinary group training, it is completely superstitious, and it is not much different from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother, and they were determined to confront the Hong Army from the beginning, and even released the statement that they wanted to destroy the inspection points and rebuild the Qiankun.

Liu Chang nodded: "It's worth noting, is there any movement in Ningbo Mansion?" ”

In the next autumn offensive, Liu Chang originally only wanted to take Ningbo Yifu, but with the change of the situation, he was determined to directly take down Ningshao and Ningshao, in that case, he already had half of Zhejiang's territory in his hands, and there would be no financial and manpower embarrassment like now.

"The situation in Ningbo Mansion is still the same, but the Guangyong of Buxing is very valued by the demon head of the Qing Demon Duan, and now Guangyong has expanded to two thousand, both on land and water, if we want to conquer Ningbo Mansion, we must first solve Buxing." …,

"Jiangnan Daying and Fu, what is the movement of building two places?"

Now in the entire Jiangnan region, there are only three places that can draw a large number of troops to encircle and suppress Liu Changhong's army, that is, the Jiangnan camp, Fujian and Jiangxi's Hunan army, but the fifth year of Xianfeng is the year of Zeng Guofan's bad luck, and he has too late to protect Jiangxi, and there is no support for Zhejiang at all.

Shi Tinglan immediately said: "Our intelligence shows that in view of the fact that Zhang Yuliang is still confronting me in Jinhua Mansion, now the Jiangnan camp and the Fujian Wang Demon Head are powerless to support Zhejiang. ”

The Jiangnan battalion wants to defend Jiangnan and intercept the Taiping army everywhere, so naturally there are not many soldiers to aid Zhejiang, but the Fujian military affairs have stopped, and it is possible to invade the north of the Wen, so Liu Chang thought for a while and asked the regiment and battalion commander below: "Is it necessary to strengthen the state capital?" ”

"I think Lu Ziyun's side is enough for the time being, and I have just shipped one hundred and fifty foreign guns." It was Zhou Xiuying, the commander of the cavalry battalion, who spoke: "The question now is when is it better to take Jinhua Mansion?" ”

Keeping Jinhua Mansion in the hands of Shi Jingfen is just Liu Chang's strategy, during this time, the entire Hong Army has completed the campaign deployment, but Liu Chang also knows very well that this time to capture Jinhua Mansion cannot be too early, too early will trigger the Qing army's support like a tide, and it cannot be too late to delay the operation of the troops to capture the two mansions of Ningshao.

Therefore, Liu Chang thought for a while: "How about giving Shi Jingfen another week?" Have you had the confidence? ”

"Miscellaneous"

As he was talking, someone over there came to report: "Check, Ye Niangniang came from Linhai City quickly." ”

"Yudie is here?" This was unexpected by Liu Chang.

In many cases, Ye Yudie's fleet has a lot of independence, although Liu Chang has repeatedly strengthened the penetration of the fleet and sent many cadres, but in a sense, Ye Niangzi has the power to act arbitrarily.

And Liu Chang, for the safety of the sea route, also taught himself to Xina, that is, to respect Ye Yudie's opinion, in this case, it is not a trivial matter to let Ye Yudie gallop hundreds of miles away.

He immediately said: "The meeting was suspended, and I went to ask what was going on." ”

Ye Yudie just got off the horse over there, she wore a pleated dress today, waved her hand at Liu Chang from afar, and smiled again, Liu Chang walked over with a smiling face, but she didn't expect a little change to happen over there: "Check, the Lanxi gentry sent someone to ask for help, saying that they asked the checkpoint to send troops quickly to save the whole county of Lanxi." ”。 ）
