Chapter 314: Expedition to Haizhou

It was not two days before Su Ziheng armed his own escort team, and the news transmitted back from the Eastern Wei Dynasty Dongyuanyu that the remnants of Zhu Chao, the king of Haizhou Zhenhai, were almost unable to hold on.

Several state capitals near Haizhou have been captured by the Sword King Song Yingjun and Kang Wang Ji Go, and they are currently marching towards Haizhou.

According to the news from Dongyuan Yu, the sword king Song Yingjun and the Kang Wang Ji Gou two armies attacked very fiercely, if Donghai County did not send troops again, it would be very difficult to even drink soup, let alone eat meat.

The current situation was the result of Su Ziheng's hard attempt to assassinate Zhu Chao, and he and Zhong Qinghan were naturally reluctant to give up this great opportunity.

"Ziheng, Donghai County will be handed over to you to manage, and I will lead the Black Crow Army to Haizhou today to prepare for the final siege battle."

At the regular meeting of the county government, Zhong Qinghan proposed to go to Haizhou.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Su Ziheng said immediately.

"We're all gone, what should Donghai County do?" Zhong Qinghan asked.

Su Ziheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, now that Donghai County is on the right track, it just needs to develop step by step." It won't be of much use for me to stay here, so I might as well go to Haizhou with you. Just experiment with the actual combat power of the musketeers and see if there is anything that needs to be improved? ”

"This ......," Zhong Qinghan hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay," Su Ziheng continued: "We won't be going for a long time, at most ten days and half a month." As soon as there is any urgency in Donghai County, I will ask the dragon god to send us back in time. ”

In this Haizhou War, Su Ziheng's purpose was to collect the population and treasures, and by the way, he would train his soldiers again to test the shortcomings of the flintlock pistol in large-scale armed operations, and he did not plan to stay there for a long time.

Hearing Su Ziheng say this, Zhong Qinghan turned his gaze to the others and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Chengming arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the officials have no objections, and I guarantee that the construction of the project will not be stagnant." ”

The old housekeeper Zhong Heyu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "The old slave is no problem, and he will help the young lady guard this house." ”

However, Zhao Wan'er showed a worried look and told Su Ziheng to take care of herself and Zhong Qinghan.

Su Ziheng smiled and nodded in agreement, promising that there would be no problems.

Everyone nodded their heads and said that it was not a big problem, only the workshop was short of raw materials. However, this problem is easy to solve, and Zhao's firm is responsible for purchasing various materials from Jiangning Mansion and transporting them back to Donghai County.

Su Ziheng also sent a fleet to Zhenbao Island to transport iron ore back, and now there are engineering robots on Zhenbao Island that are mining iron ore day and night, which has been piled up like a mountain, enough to support the workshop.

……

……

This expedition to Haizhou used nearly 100 sea ships to almost hollow out the old bottom of Donghai County.

In fact, there is no need for so many ships to really transport soldiers, Zhong Qinghan only brought a total of 5,000 soldiers to the battle, including 1,000 from the Black Crow Army, and the other 4,000 were recruited from the Haizhou Naval Army.

Most of the original Haizhou sailors who came from this batch were from Haizhou, and they just took this opportunity to take their families to Donghai County.

Other sea vessels are mainly used to transport people, and population is more important to Donghai County than treasure.

Su Ziheng went to Haizhou this time, but it was a wishful thinking of both people and money. As long as he takes the opportunity to enter Haizhou City after the city is broken, isn't the gold and silver treasures inside for him to collect? Anyway, there is space for the base, so you don't have to worry about having nowhere to put things.

After two days of sailing, we arrived at the pier in Haizhou, which was already empty and no one was in sight. Obviously, they either fled or were withdrawn to the city.

Su Ziheng looked at the scene of the beacon fire in the distance, and asked Zhong Qinghan beside him, "Are we going to meet the sword king Song Yingjun and Kang Wang Jigou?" ”

Zhong Qinghan asked, "Will the two of them meet?" ”

Su Ziheng shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, although the two of them joined forces to attack the territory of Zhenhai King Zhu Chao this time, this is all for the sake of interests, in fact, the relationship between the two of them is not very good, if they really want to meet reluctantly, I'm afraid it will be bad." ”

"Then we won't go, we will attack Haizhou City with our own abilities, and how much benefit we can get depends on our respective abilities." Zhong Qinghan said indifferently.

Although she is proficient in the art of war and is good at leading troops in battle, she is still not used to communicating with others. Rather than making a false deal with the other two, it is better to have a good fight with the Haizhou defenders.

Su Ziheng nodded and said, "That's okay, if you don't see it, you'll be gone." However, it is better not to fight Haizhou, and it is better not to fight, and persuade to surrender first. We don't have many soldiers, and if we really want to fight, there will inevitably be casualties. ”

"I understand, go to the army to fight and strategize, and attack the heart." Zhong Qinghan chuckled.

Soon, the 5,000-strong army chose a high ground outside the eastern city of Haizhou and set up camp.

At this time, Dong Yuanyu, who got the news, and the secret agents of the secret investigation department also rushed over.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I've seen Lord Changshi." Dong Yuanyu and others saluted in unison.

Zhong Qinghan raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, flat body." TECO girl, how is the war situation in Haizhou now? ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the army of the Sword King Song Yingjun and King Kang Jigou has arrived in Haizhou for two days. They had already launched a large-scale attack on Haizhou City, and the three sides had fought fiercely for a day and a night, and had withdrawn early this morning. ”

"What about the casualties?"

"The specific casualties are not yet known, but according to the observation of the slaves and the spies of the Secret Investigation Division, the losses of the three parties are relatively large, and there are many corpses left in the city, which are still being cleaned up."

Su Ziheng touched his chin, revealing a contemplative look, "In this way, the two of them are really fighting." But it's no wonder that they have taken a lot of advantage in carving up the territory of Zhuchao this time, and it seems that they have eaten the marrow. ”

"That's natural, you must know that Haizhou is the nest that Zhu Chao has been operating for decades, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in it, and no one wants to miss this opportunity." Zhong Qinghan chuckled.

"Hehe, if you want to swallow it alone, it depends on whether they have good teeth and good appetite. Are we really here to make soy sauce? Su Ziheng pouted.

Zhong Qinghan and Su Ziheng have not been together for a short time, and from time to time they can hear some inexplicable words from his mouth, and they have long been strange.

Su Ziheng set his eyes on Dong Yuan Yu and asked, "Fu'er, is there a way to send me into the city?" ”

Dong Yuanyu nodded and said, "Childe, if it's just you, there should be no problem." But if there are too many people, it's a bit difficult. ”

"During this time, the slave maid has developed several powerful officials in Haizhou City, and after Zhu Chao's death, they have the heart to take refuge in others. Now a small number of people in Haizhou City have been nearly bought by the people of the Sword King and King Kang, and the slave maid has also dealt with some of them before, and has also bought three. ”
