Chapter 20 is an all-round victory
readx; At the same time as the army's victory, the navy was not to be outdone, and a fleet of 11 warships, large and small, sailed to the coast of Annam. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and November is the time when the north wind blows fiercely. The speed of the fleet is ideal.
Early in the morning, about 30 ships of all sizes were quietly moored in the port of Annan Haiphong. The sentries standing guard at the docks were leisurely napping. The two seas that went out to patrol were also quietly moored in the harbor. At this time, the entire ship harbor had no sense of defense at all. But there's nothing to guard against in this port. The fort has no walls, and there is no large fishing village.
In the distance, two white dots suddenly appeared, then three, four. A total of eleven white dots are divided into two columns and close together. Soon the ship's mast and sails will be visible, and the hull will be clearly visible. The two fleets were separated at this time, advancing from the north and south. In a quarter of an hour, the two fleets came into range, and the black muzzles of the ships could be seen in the harbor. Bardes looked at the unsuspecting enemy. With a smile, he ordered, "Fire!" The heralds began to give orders: "Fire!" Fire! ”
"Boom, boom, boom!" As pillars of fire erupted from the side of the Tempest, the other ships opened fire, and the flames lit up the sea. The huge sound of cannons woke up the sleeping enemy, but it was too late to reflect at this time, hundreds of shells flew into the harbor, pierced the hull, splashed the wooden tops, one of the two patrolling ships let a red-hot cannonball penetrate the hull, and detonated the gunpowder in the warehouse, the whole ship let the violent explosion set off, and then fell to the water, and finally disintegrated, at the same time the nearby ships were also affected, the shock wave shook the nearby ships violently, a large number of ship fragments fell to the mast with the fire, and some of the deck also inserted into the hull to cause a fire. More shells fell on the harbor. Since most of the buildings in the port were thatched houses, fire points were ignited one after another, and the dry north wind ignited the nearby buildings, and thick smoke billowed everywhere, and the flames soared into the sky.
Firing two rounds in succession, Haicang and Fuchuan rushed to the enemy ship with heavily armed soldiers, preparing for a landing battle. Since most of the ships anchored in the harbor were merchant ships, the crews began to flee in all directions. Several warships were under the heavy care of the artillery fire, and the crews were frightened, and they also disembarked and fled. It's not clear what's going on in the harbor now! Even the fire around him has not had time to extinguish, and there is no need to talk about resistance
。 The ships were quickly moored, the sailors stopped the boats and put the planks over the boats, the soldiers rushed through the planks in an orderly manner over the enemy ships, and at the same time, the Annamite who had been captured in front of them came into play, and they were organized into three-person security teams on the boats and shouted in Annamite and Chinese, surrender or kill! Surrender or kill!
When the ship's crew heard this, they all went to the deck and knelt down to surrender, while some of the stubborn ones were betrayed by their accomplices and lost their lives. Soon, the two heroic armies drew more than 200 people and landed ashore to wash them. Under the leadership of Mo San, the captain of the security team, he successfully arrived at the shipport official mansion. And all the people in the government are packing up and running away, and the officers and soldiers are carrying large bags and small bags and preparing to escape. The county ordered the family to sit in a carriage and ordered people to drive them out of the city. The door opened. The officers and men saw three rows of two male soldiers waiting twenty paces outside the question, raising their guns. At this point, it's too late to close. After three volleys, more than 30 officers and soldiers fell, and more than 20 fell. Another team of two heroes who had been prepared for a long time took the opportunity to enter and seize the gate. Under the power of combat that is so strong that it is not comparable. The Shuangxiong army occupied the county seat without paying the price of the wounded. All the men laid down their arms and knelt in the courtyard. The county commander also got out of the carriage and knelt at the front of the line.
This time it was Wu Tianyun who led the team, at this time, Wu Tianyun, Wei Er, and Huli stood in front of the captives, and Mo San walked in front of the three of them and saluted respectfully, "Lord Wu, sir, the person kneeling in front is Ruan Ren, the commander of Jiangang County." He can speak Mandarin! ”
"Team Mo has done a good job this time, I will praise you well in front of Commander Chen. Now it's up to you to interrogate the magistrate. ”
"Order!" After receiving the order from Shangguan, Mo Sanyao said to the county in a majestic manner: "Ruan Ren, you listen well. Tell me where your possessions and the county's belongings will be. Otherwise, your whole family will die an ugly death. ”
"I don't know where you come from, I have something to say, my country is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and you are also wearing Ming military uniforms, are your officials in the wrong place?" Ruan Ren knelt on the ground and arched his hand.
"You, the dog official, still remember the Heavenly Empire and tell you that we are the Ming Dynasty. Your lord has sent people many times to plunder my heavenly kingdom, and the public has come to crusade against the Mo clan on the orders of Lord Chen, and anyone who resists the heavenly army will be killed! You and others are all subjects, and they should pay tribute to the heavenly army, and if there are those who do not obey, they will be exterminated! Er is the county order, when the word is the order first! When he was done, he brought a letter and reported it to the lord of the country. ”
After Wu Tianyun finished speaking, he said to Mo San, "Mo San, ask again, if there is no response, kill his whole family!" ”
"Yes, the subordinate has an order!" ……。
Nguyen Nhon finally succumbed under strong pressure, and then ordered his family and officers and soldiers to move their belongings out, and cooperated with the Shuangxiong army to collect money and goods from door to door, and directly destroyed those who were stubborn. At the end of the day, a total of 100,000 taels of grain, 1,300,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels of gold, and 500,000 taels of jewelry and property were collected. There are more than 3,000 cattle, sheep and horses.
At noon the next day, a group of 501 Mo's troops came to support, but in less than a pillar of incense, most of the enemy troops were killed and wounded, and the army was defeated. The Twin Heroes were unscathed.
The Shuangxiong army was cruel to some large families, but it did not do much harm to civilians, and there was no adultery. But most of the houses had been burned down in the fighting, and in order to anger the civilians, the Twin Heroes gathered the people and began to distribute some of the supplies. Until the evening, 30,000 civilians were each given a stone of grain and a tael of silver! Sixty-seven of those who died in the battle were paid 10 taels each, and 170 were wounded with five taels each! At the same time, Mo San said a lot of propaganda paragraphs, saying that the invasion was a righteous rescue, and at the same time executed a group of merchants, landlords and hooligans who usually did nothing evil and bullied people with their sticks, causing everyone in the audience to applaud constantly.
The goal was achieved, and Mo San hired a man at a high price on the spot, and the carrot and stick package quickly worked! The work of one pillar of incense won five hundred people. Then Mo San commanded everyone to start asking the port to repair the ship!
After a night's hard work, thirty-two large and small ships began to return at noon the next day. On the fifth day of November, the flotilla returned to Qinzhou, and the long flotilla filled the river. The berths are full of ships, and batches of goods are piled up in warehouses and docks! Thousands of workers are still loading and unloading! It's very lively!
At the headquarters of the Shuangxiong Army, everyone was deliberating, Chen Feng said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, this battle has gained a lot, but Xun has also lost a lot, so let's make a summary by Fang Shiping!" ”
"Yes, my lord," cleared his throat, and Fang Shiping began to read: "Everyone! In this battle, our army lost 795 killed and 262 seriously wounded, and the rest of the people were killed 210 and seriously wounded 31. We annihilated more than 9,700 enemies, captured 5,270 men, and obtained 2,300,000 taels of silver, 500,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels of various jewels and miscellaneous items. 2,000 horses, 16,700 cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs, 150,000 stone of grain, and 21 ships.
After reading it, Chen Feng stood up and said, "Everyone, these are all exchanged for everyone's lives. Now that the family has a big business, in addition to using part of the appeasement of the families of the soldiers killed in the war and every soldier, we will take a copy of the confiscation to give an explanation to the court. The rest is to expand our Twin Army. Today, our two heroic armies are already full of strength, and both the court and the various forces must be suspicious! But in any case, strength determines everything, and it is also self-respecting to support troops. As long as our two heroes are strong, no matter who wants to move, we have to consider seven points! And my two heroes are strong, determined to protect the family and defend the country, drive out the Jiannu, and fight for ourselves, for our families, and for the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Fight for the Ming! Fight for the Ming Dynasty! ”
Everyone quieted down, and Chen Feng said again: "Today is a troubled world, wars are everywhere, Fang Shiping, tell me about the current times!" ”
"Yes, according to the reports of all parties, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has lost power year after year, and the Jiannu has become more and more courageous, and the entire Liaodong in the north of the Ming Dynasty has been lost, and the Mongolian forces have begun to take refuge in Jianfu in order to protect Zhouquan under the successive losses of the Ming Dynasty. In the Central Plains, due to drought, the land is thousands of miles away, the people are starving to death everywhere, and the people from all walks of life continue to resist, and the rest of the places are also due to the government, the landlords are robbing and the people are disgusted! The Tusi clans in various places in the southwest also began to judge chaos due to the incompetence of the official mansions, and there was a rebellion of Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, and even the western countries began to encroach! And I am a vassal country of the Heavenly Empire, and the Annan of the projectile is also slightly seized everywhere, and I have no place for peace in the Ming Dynasty!
Very good! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think in this day and age?
The people took counsel for a long time. There was no unanimous opinion, and everyone continued to discuss. Chen Feng looked at everyone and pressed their hands lightly and said, "Everyone, be quiet!" ”
Shangguan spoke, and the following began to quiet down! Then Chen Feng said, "You have been discussing for a while, and now you will start to talk about it one by one." ”
Li Xiang stood up first and said, "Two adults, I, Li Xiang, am a soldier, and there are two more tricks to fight. ”
"Yes, that's all I mean! Listen to the adults! The heads of the armies answered one by one.
Then Fang Shiping stood up and said: "My lord, I wait for the literati to listen to your opinions before we can follow the step-by-step process, and please come to the adults."
"Please come here!" All the literati stood up and bowed their hands together!
In that case, let me let Chen Chun talk about his future plans!
Chen Chun took the words, stood up and said: "Colleagues, it is really gratifying to congratulate my Shuangxiong Army for its immortal achievements, but although this achievement has been completed, it has not yet been decided. If there is a slight disagreement, the whole situation will be lost, but now that the whole of Guangdong is implicated by us and others, I believe that the above should also pay attention to acting. But the accident has to be prevented, and now that we are in trouble, then we will make it bigger. Then Chen Chun spread out a map and said, "Everyone, please see, Qinzhou is located at the southwest estuary, and its north is Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other areas of Tusi are in chaos, and neither side can take care of us. At the same time, Guangdong and Fujian also mobilized troops to suppress Tusi, and even more so to prevent coastal pirates from posing much threat to us. However, it is necessary to guard against others, so we will use financial resources to solve the problem. At the same time, we must also strengthen our strength to protect ourselves! First of all, we need to expand the army to at least 8,000 men in the shortest possible time. In order to take over Fangcheng, Dongxing and Shangsi. At the same time, we have built an outpost on Nightingale Island in the middle of the Beibu Gulf, so that the south can go out of the South Sea, the east can prevent the enemy from coming from the Hanzhou Strait, the west can form an angle with the Haiphong island group, and the north can defend the gateway of the Maowei Sea as a strategic point. At the same time, Nightingale Island is large enough and has fresh water, which is really too little to give up. What do you think? ”
Everyone thought for a while? In the end, they all said in unison: "The two adults are thoughtful, and we will obey our orders." ”
At the end of this chapter, I would like to mention that Nightingale Island is now the white dragon tail of Vietnam! Its location is the same as what I have described, in the 50s, due to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, this island was assigned to Vietnam, and this island was the land of our country in both the Ming and Qing dynasties. With an area of three square kilometers, I hope to return to the map of China one day. Hope you readers
