Chapter 312: Breaking into the Yangtze River

"Oh! My God, I dare to conclude that these strange ships are at least forty knots, how do they do it? ”

"Oh! Damn, hurry up and lower the sails, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to load the cannons, open the cannon door and other things that can easily cause misunderstanding on the other side, I see that the cannons in the bow and stern of the other side are aimed at us.

We can't beat it, the other side is an all-steel armored ship, and the long barrel is powerful at a glance, so don't try it. ”

"Yes, Captain, on the vast seas, your orders are the supreme instructions."

A Dutch merchant ship was too close to each other, and all the Dutch on board shouted in exclamation, which aroused the suspicion of the navy of the Far Eastern Kingdom, so the muzzle of the gun was turned and aimed at the Dutch merchant ship, so the Dutch captain immediately gave a loud order.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Yang Yiteng didn't want to cause more trouble, so he didn't give the order to open fire, and after a while, the fleet left at high speed.

Fast! It was too fast, almost out of the imagination and cognition of these Dutchmen, and the first mate on the ship asked the captain who had been staring for a long time: "Captain, who is the other party?" How could there be such an advanced warship? ”

"Alas! This is an extremely bad thing, I can say with certainty that the other side is a first-class battleship, and ten at a time, so it can be seen that in this far east, where we do not know, there is a very powerful country, a country of the yellow race. ”

"Yellow people? This is the worst news ever, has God forsaken us? ”

"Yes, so to speak, just that fleet, all the white fleets in the East can't beat it, their technology is very advanced, I just saw that the guns in the bow and stern of the other side are quickly aimed at us, I don't know what advanced technology is used? And the other side is an all-steel ship, even if our artillery hits, it is useless, they have no sails, our chain bullets and fire bombs are useless, I can't find a reason for us to win. ”

"What then? Should we tell the news about the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Europe? ”

"Nope! It is useless to inform the kingdom, it is not something that we can match as a single country, but it will invite calamity, and the main thing for us now is to find out where this strange country is? ”

……

The Dutch were very interested in the Far Eastern Kingdom, but they had never been to the Far Eastern Kingdom so far, so they had never seen the flag of the Far Eastern Kingdom, otherwise they would definitely think of the Far Eastern Kingdom that defeated Japan two years ago.

In this way, the fleet traveled all the way, passing through the Miyako Strait of the Ryukyu Islands to the East China Sea, it was the evening sunset, the sea was less industrious, the sea was quiet, the visibility was not high, but there were navigators in the fleet who were familiar with Jiangnan, which was difficult for the fleet, and the fleet went straight to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

How important is the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is the gateway to the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the mouth of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty is stationed in the Chongming Naval Division, there are more than 400 boats, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Naval Division, it is the general military level of the Eight Classics, and it is not comparable to the ordinary naval fleet.

When he got here, it didn't matter if he was hiding it, so Yang Yiteng ordered the fleet to keep moving fast and forcibly rushed through the waters of the Chongming Naval Division.

"Woo" A loud warning sound sounded on the sea, which spread far and wide, and the Chongming waterway was very narrow, and such a huge fleet passed through, and it was naturally clearly seen by the patrol ships on the sea and the officers and men of the sailors on the island, and they sounded the warning one after another.

"Report ...... Tell the commander-in-chief, a strange fleet is coming from the open sea, as many as ten ships......" The officers and men of the sailor division on duty immediately reported to the commander-in-chief of the island.

But before he finished speaking, the chief soldier had his responsibilities and did not dare to despise it, so he immediately got up and rushed out of the lobby of the general soldier's mansion.

But when he got to the high platform outside, he couldn't help but be angry: "Where is it?" What's the strange ship? ”

"My lord, those strange boats are very fast, as if they are flying on the water, sailless, and they may have entered the Yangtze River at this time."

"His grandmother's, why don't you stop them, is our battery a waste?"

"My lord, it's too fast, my subordinates will come to tell you as soon as possible, but I still can't see their shadows, and the battery loading can't win either."

"Idiots, a group of idiots, this must be the fleet of the Xiyi people, they entered the Yangtze River, I don't know what they will do? When the time comes, we will all fall to the ground, and now pass on the order of this officer, and immediately order the Yangtze River fleet to enter the Yangtze River to pursue,"

"Yes! The Commander-in-Chief. ”

The commander-in-chief also knew that he could not catch up, but he estimated that the other party would attack Nanjing, so he went to help, and maybe he could get leniency from his superiors.

On the other hand, as soon as the fleet of the Far Eastern Kingdom entered the Yangtze River, the sky gradually darkened, which gave them good cover and made it easier to sail, after all, the night of the Ming Dynasty was lit by oil lamps, which also illuminated a small place nearby, but it was impossible to see the distant scenery clearly.

"Commander, do you want to order the fleet to slow down? Sailing at night, I was afraid that there would be something in the middle of the river to obstruct me. Yang Yiteng's guard leader suggested in his ear.

"No, in the waters below Nanjing, the river is open and the water depth is enough, we have to fight for time, don't you see, we have already alarmed the Chongming Sailor just now? Although they can't beat us, if they set up iron cables on the river, or block the channel with scrap wooden boats, we will have to spend a lot of energy to dredge it. ”

"The commander is extremely worried, and his subordinates are not thinking."

"Alas! Our task now is to quickly receive the Queen Mother, the prince, the second princess and all the family members of Happy Valley, and we can't exert a strong force in the air, and in addition, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are also our compatriots, and they don't want to kill more.

Our only advantage is that we are fast, so we must be as fast as possible, so that the Ming army cannot react, and if the Ming Naval Division blocks it, there is no need to give me an order to warn me. ”

"Commander, the Daming Naval Division is not enough, but the narrow river is shallow and difficult to walk, and now the Ming Dynasty is already stormy, the domestic bandits are raging everywhere, and there are strong enemies in Houjin on the side, not to mention the Naval Division, the south is the infantry army is also a small general, and those with a little combat power have gone to the north to quell the rebellion."

"Alas! The Ming Dynasty, which has enjoyed hundreds of years of national glory, has indeed reached the end of its life, but it all depends on our Far Eastern Kingdom, not the various heroes who are now jumping up, including the seemingly powerful Houjin Eight Banners. ”

"Of course, looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, which country can compare with our country? Houjin is just a clown jumping beam, hahahaha! ”

Yang Yiteng discussed the situation in the world from the two of them, and he was arrogant, and he didn't look at the heroes of the world at all, it was the Far Eastern Kingdom that gave them a strong confidence, and it was also Yang Wenli's strong capital to compete for the world.

Ancient communications were extremely underdeveloped, and the fatal news that the fleet of the Far Eastern Kingdom had broken into the mouth of the Yangtze River could not reach their front, so there was nothing to do all the way, and the fleet broke through Dangtu, and when it reached the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the water surface was still wide, but the river was shallow, so the fleet slowed down the speed of the ships and cruised at about thirty knots.
