In the sea area near the Shengsi Islands, the sea breeze was howling, the military flag was unfurled, the Tang Army's naval divisions were swinging along the east and west, the Runzhou naval division was in the east, the Guangling naval division was in the west, and the naval divisions such as Jinling and Jing were in the middle pressure formation, and the Haizhou naval division had the fewest warships, so it fell last. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Jinzhao couldn't beat everyone in the end, although he was the secretary of the military department, but these were all rebellious generals from all over the country, especially Zhu Qi, Fang Jinzhao couldn't understand why he took the initiative to provoke the expedition. The sailors from other places also moved their minds to attack Hangzhou and seize the credit.

Fang Jinzhao stood on the bow of the ship, staring into the distance, and the warships of Wu Yuejun's army were also gathered on the sea. Wu Yuejun's naval army general is called Shao Keqian, is the general of the Zhoushan Water Division under the command of Yu An, this person is good at water warfare, when Yu An assisted Li Hongyi, Feng Yanlu gave up the beach, intending to attack half-crossing, at that time it was Shao Keqian who took the lead, boarded the sandbank, and then defeated the Tang Army, changed the situation of the first battle of Fuzhou, Shao Keqian was promoted to the commander of the Zhoushan Water Division because of his merits.

When Fang Jinzhao was observing the Wu Yue Army's naval division, Shao Keqian was also the same, in fact, after Wu Yue and the Tang Dynasty started the war, the Zhoushan Water Division has been actively preparing for war, and the first army went north from the canal, arrived in Suzhou, entered Taihu Lake, coerced Changzhou, and engaged the Tang Army's Taihu Lake naval army.

Although the Battle of Changzhou was mainly based on the army, the strength of the naval division should not be underestimated. In particular, the sailors of the two countries have been fighting since the Yang and Wu eras, and they have a deeper understanding of each other, as far as the water war is concerned, the sailors of Wu Yueguo have won more and lost less, which is a psychological advantage, but in the past few years, the sailors have fought less, and now no one knows what the strength of the Tang Sailors is.

Wu Yueguo's naval division had a total of more than 500 large and small warships, and the building ships and ships were the main force, about 150 of them, and the rest were fighting ships, boats, yachts and other warships of different sizes. Of course, the Zhoushan Naval Division did not have such warships, and there were more than 50 large warships such as the Lou Ship and the Stern Ship, accounting for one-third of the large warships of Wu Yueguo, but the strength should not be underestimated.

The Zhoushan Naval Division has a glorious history of defeating the Jing Navy, so Shao Keqian has no pressure in his heart, and although the Tang Army has many warships, the number of ships and warships is relatively rare, which makes Shao Keqian full of confidence in this battle.

In the battle at sea, it is necessary to have a big ship, the ship is too small, and the waves can easily overturn the ship, Shao Keqian has rich combat experience, so he naturally knows this, so he is very confident, thinking that Wu Yue will win this battle.

The warships of both sides were undulating on the sea, no one took the initiative to attack, but was observing each other's strength, looking for an opportunity to attack, the waves were beating the battleship, the battleship shook gently, Shao Keqian always behaved very calmly, but Fang Jinzhao couldn't hold it back.

Fang Jinzhao said that he was still the secretary of the military department, but he had not led the troops to fight, and his experience was inevitably insufficient. However, Wu Yuejun did not attack for a long time, and both sides were trying to be patient.

The strategists around Fang Jinzhao finally couldn't help it, he suggested that Fang Jinzhao attack, Wu Yueguo had many warships, but the Tang army had more warships, as long as he worked hard, he could take down Wu Yueguo's sailors. Fang Jinzhao thought about it for a while, and also felt that the Tang army had no need to be afraid in the case of numerical possession, and the mood of the three armies fighting was very high, maybe they could defeat this enemy in one battle and take advantage of the situation to seize the Shengsi Islands?

Fang Jinzhao decisively ordered, the Runzhou Naval Division on the left flank, and the Guangling Naval Division on the right flank took the lead in attacking from both ends, and the Jinghai Naval Division stepped forward slightly, but did not attack, but protected the Jinling Naval Division, so as not to be harmed by Fang Jinzhao, if the commander was captured, or was violently attacked, the situation on the entire battlefield would change, and it would be very bad.

The Tang army attacked, but the Wu Yue country's naval division retreated under the leadership of Shao Keqian, the speed of the Wu Yue army's naval division warships was unexpectedly fast, the Tang army's battleships mustered up their strength, and they couldn't catch up, Wu Yuejun's retreat did not attract the attention of the Tang army's naval division, they even felt that in the case of the Tang army's superiority, the retreat of the Wu Yue people was reasonable, Runzhou and Guangling naval divisions were like arrows from the string, flying to chase up, and the two sides chased after me, and the sea was very lively.

Zhu Qi stood in the distance, staring at the battle on the sea, and couldn't help frowning, the Runzhou and Guangling sailors were too aggressive, especially when the speed was not superior, this kind of pursuit was meaningless. He immediately asked the flag bearer to wave the flag and suggested that Fang Jinzhao, who was on the main ship, give an order to suspend the attack.

When Fang Jinzhao received the news, he was also a little suspicious that Wu Yuejun's actions were too strange, so he immediately ordered to stop the pursuit, and the two armies returned immediately. The military order was issued in a timely manner, but at this time, the two armies had already chased the red eye, although the standard-bearer received Fang Jinzhao's order, but the commanders of the two armies did not take it to heart and continued to choose to pursue.

Just when the Tang army was pursuing, the fast Wu Yuejun suddenly turned his head and collided with the Tang warship, Wu Yuejun's unexpected action made the Tang soldiers not react, they quickly approached the Tang army, the arrow feathers were shot, dense, the Tang army was caught off guard, and the soldiers lost a lot, at the same time, Wu Yuejun also used iron claws to hook the Tang army's battleship, and struggled to pull over, the distance was close, the soldiers of Wu Yuejun jumped over, holding the blade in their hands, and slashed hard.

The two armies were fighting on the battleships, and the Wu Yue army battleship with ramming horns slammed into the side of the Tang army's battleship, and the hull of the ship shook for a while, and many battleships were damaged, crumbling, and about to sink into the river.

Fang Jinzhao saw this scene and immediately understood the cunning of Wu Yuejun, they first showed weakness, and then suddenly counterattacked, so that the Tang army, who felt that the victory was in hand, was planned. What to do? Fang Jinzhao didn't pay attention for a while, and then continued to invest his troops, and put the Jing Navy and the Jinling Navy into it again?

Fang Jinzhao pursed his lips and thought, the changes in the battlefield were changing rapidly, and before he could think of a way, Wu Yuejun had already gained the upper hand, and the Tang army's warships were either captured, sunk, or fled, Fang Jinzhao just glanced at it, and found that less than a third of the warships had escaped. Such losses were enormous, and the Wu Yue army began to take advantage of the situation to pursue, entering the counteroffensive stage, their ships were fast, relying on this advantage, once they caught up with the Tang army battleship, they threw out their iron claws and firmly grasped the Tang army battleship, dense arrow feathers fell, the Tang army soldiers could not hide, and most of them became a hornet's nest.

Fifty percent of the Tang warships that escaped were captured by Wu Yue's army and became trophies. Holding on to the momentum, Wu Yuejun rushed to kill, Jing Haijun had already made preparations, dense arrow feathers were shot, and the slap rod also played a role, fighting with Wu Yuejun. After a major battle between the two sides, Shao Keqian chose to retreat, and he escorted the Tang army's warships and slowly retreated to the Shengsi Islands.

Although Wu Yuejun took the initiative to retreat, Fang Jinzhao was not the slightest happy, the battle was lost, the Runzhou Navy Division and the Guangling Navy Division lost more than half, and the warships of the Jing Navy and the Jinling Navy Division also lost one percent, but the Haizhou Navy Division, which was the rear wing, was not affected, and more than 20 warships were not scarred at all.

Fang Jinzhao was very depressed, he held a small meeting, and summarized today's battle, Wu Yuejun's naval division was too strong, and the Tang army was not an opponent, he warned everyone that he could not attack again, otherwise military law would be engaged.

As for the battle report, Fang Jinzhao had a headache, he lost so many warships, how could he explain to the Son of Heaven?

Zhoushan, Lin Renzhao dressed as a businessman, wandering around the wharf, these days, more and more warships going north, he inquired carefully, only then did he know that the Tang army's sailors went south, wanting to attack the Shengsi Islands and seize the passage into Hangzhou Bay.

The northward movement of the Zhoushan Naval Division meant that the power of the Naval Division stationed in Zhoushan was further weakened. After waiting for two days, Wu Yueguo's Jinghai Jiedu envoy sent an urgent report from Wenzhou, saying that Fuzhou Chawenhui was advancing by land and water, the army had arrived in Fu'an, and the Tang army was attacking the city with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the south was in an emergency.

The Jinghai Jiedu envoy was actively preparing for war, and the naval division was deployed outside Wenzhou to prevent the Tang army from moving north.

After waiting for another day, news came from Hangzhou that the elite soldiers and horses in Chuzhou and Taizhou went south to defend against the enemy, and Cha Wenhui must not be allowed to seize Fu'an and open the gate to the north.

When Lin Renzhao received the news, he was even more sure in his heart, he spent a lot of money, bought grain, yellow sheep, and fine wine, and rushed to the camp where the Zhoushan Water Division was stationed.

At this time, the Zhoushan Naval Division still had fifteen building ships and warships stationed here, and there were about 2,000 sailors and 5,000 foot soldiers, as long as they dealt with properly, they were enough to defend Zhoushan. The soldiers on patrol were very surprised to see Lin Renzhao coming with a large number of yellow sheep, and someone shouted: "Who are you? Why don't you leave quickly? ”

Lin Renzhao smiled and said loudly: "This military master, I am a local businessman, I heard that the Tang army sailors were coming, and I remembered the hard work of the military master, so I bought food, yellow sheep, wine and other things, and came to comfort the soldiers!" ”

Speaking of the Qian family from the domination of the two Zhejiang, he became the overlord of the soil wholeheartedly, Qian Biao knew very well that he wanted to defeat Yang Wu several times, but he was defeated, Wu Yue was blocked in the land of Liangzhe, it was difficult to develop, so he obeyed the Central Plains court, just wanted to be a festival envoy, and the successor King Wu Yue never called the emperor, there is also this reason.

The Qian family exploited the people of Wu Yue very seriously, but Wu Yue was very good at business, so the people could bear it, but some families were just barely surviving, not starving to death, and would not rebel.

The soldier was very excited when he heard that a merchant had come to pay tribute to the army, but he didn't dare to call the shots, so he shouted loudly and asked Lin Renzhao to wait, and he hurriedly ran back to tell him.

At this time, Yu An received Shao Keqian's report, in order to annihilate the Tang army's naval division in one fell swoop, and then threaten the Tang army's Yangtze River estuary, and even killed Jinling with a naval division, putting pressure on Li Jing. The sailor master who stayed in Zhoushan was just a capital head.

Dutou's name is Yu Qing, Yu An's nephew, this person heard the news, heard that there was wine, and immediately salivated, he was very good at wine, and felt that the Tang Army Sailor had been defeated, his uncle had led his troops north, and Zhoushan also had a certain defensive force, what else was he afraid of?

After Yu Qing made a decision, he immediately jumped up and personally went to the door to greet Lin Renzhao.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lin Renzhao said that Wu Yue's soldiers worked hard and made great achievements, and as a common man of Wu Yue, he was able to live a stable life, which was obtained by the soldiers fighting to the death, and he was willing to sacrifice the army.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Yu Qing saw more than fifty yellow sheep, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and took Lin Renzhao's hand and walked into the camp, which made Lin Renzhao feel a chill.

Yu Qing knew that Lin Renzhao was like this, there must be a reason, so he was very witty and took Lin Renzhao to a room, Lin Renzhao knew that although Yu Qing was acting as an agent for Zhoushan affairs, he actually had several heads, so he didn't think about anything else.

Lin Renzhao took out a piece of gold cake from his arms, handed it to Yu Qing, and said with a smile: "General Yu, this is a little bit of the villain's heart, and I hope to smile." ”

Yu Qing glanced at Huang Cancan's golden cake, as if he saw a beautiful woman, swallowed his saliva, accepted it quietly, smiled, and asked very directly: "Such a big gift, there must be something to ask for, what benefits do you want?" ”

Lin Renzhao sighed, shook his head, and said, "The general is wise, and he really can't hide it from the general." ”

Yu Qing stroked the short beard on his chin, his face was proud, and he thought to himself, even if you are three heads and six arms, isn't that little bit of thought in my eyes?

Lin Renzhao continued: "General, the villain is just a merchant, now that the two countries are at war, the sailors have blocked the sea, and merchant ships are not allowed to enter and exit, for the villain, this loss is too great." ”

"You want to go to sea?" Yu Qing guessed Lin Renzhao's request.

Lin Renzhao nodded and said: "General, the villain has already purchased a batch of silk and porcelain, ready to sell to the Japanese country, but now that the war is together, merchant ships are not allowed to go out, which is a big loss, and I hope that the general will be accommodating, and the villain is grateful." ”

Yu Qing pursed his lips, as a Wu Yue person, he naturally knew how profitable it was to trade with the Japanese State, this merchant wanted to buy him with a small piece of gold cake, it was too cheap, he decided to increase the size, so he shook his head and said: "Alas, you also know that now the war with the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, and any ships coming and going may be spies of the Tang Army, so they have to be guarded against." ”

"General, the villain is just going out to sell goods, and when he returns, he thinks that the war is over, and Wu Yue will definitely be able to defeat the Tang people!" Lin Renzhao said.

"This is natural, Tang Dog is as timid as a mouse, so naturally there is nothing to worry about!" Yu Qing smiled.

Lin Renzhao laughed with him, hoping that Yu Qing would agree.

Yu Qing rolled his eyes and asked, "Tell me, how much money can you earn on this trip to the Japanese country?" ”

"Well, prices also fluctuate, and how much you earn depends on the situation." Lin replied.

Yu Qing smiled, this businessman is very cunning, he is not permeable at all, but he still has a way, so he said: "It's not impossible to let you out, but I have a request." ”

"General, please say, as long as you can do it, the villain will definitely offer it with both hands!" Lin Renzhao said.

Yu Qing paced two steps and said, "I don't want more, this time you go out, I want fifty percent of the income you get!" ”

Lin Renzhao was taken aback and said: "General, although there is a lot of profit from shipping, the cost of labor, the damage to the ship, etc., are also not small expenses. ”

Yu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Then how much do you say?" "He doesn't understand anything about business.

Lin Renzhao was very hesitant, and then said half-loudly: "General, how do you think of fifty percent of the profits?" ”

Yu Qing thought about it, laughed, and said, "Okay, this makes it!" (To be continued.) )
