On the only steam ironclad ship of this era, the Jieyu, Li Zhe has a luxurious suite, even if the space on the ship is so scarce, but Li Zhe's personal space must be guaranteed.

Only by ensuring Li Zhe's comfort and work efficiency can the smooth progress of the entire battle situation be ensured.

From this point of view, there does seem to be some truth. In fact, if Li Zhe was unwilling, the queen wanted to send two palace maids to serve him, but Li Zhe resolutely refused. Just kidding, although Li Zhe is not very clever in this regard, he also knows that these two palace maids are not so much serving him, but more likely to be a spy for the queen.

He didn't want to put two more pairs of eyes around him, and believe me, it wouldn't feel good.

At this moment, Li Zhe was on the boat, he put down the paperwork in his hand, and there was still a pile on the desk in front of him, as the governor of Tianzhu, especially as the queen's concubine, he always had endless things to do.

Whether it was his status as a metropolitan governor or not, the queen also liked to consult with him, and this habit had lasted for a long time. No matter where Li Zhe is, this habit between the two has always continued.

To a certain extent, Li Zhe is indeed co-managing the country with the queen, and even many times, Li Zhe is the brain of the country, and the queen is more like the executor of the decisions made by Li Zhe.

It is no wonder that many people in the court have a lot of complaints about Li Zhe, thinking that Li Zhe is a troublemaker for the dynasty. But it can't be helped, the queen herself willing.

The turmoil in the DPRK and China against Li Zhe's autocratic power has never played a role, and the queen's favor for Li Zhe is simply rock-solid, and no one has ever succeeded in slandering Li Zhe.

However, the current Li Zhe's thoughts are not related to Tianzhu China. As the commander-in-chief, his main focus now is on the Battle of Dinghai.

In fact, all the letters on his desk at this moment are related to the Battle of Dinghai, and these are all letters sent from Dinghai in the past few days and sent to him from various channels, all of which are letters from those officials and families of the Ning Domain in Dinghai City.

Every time he saw these, Li Zhe couldn't help but feel that King Ning's domain was really worthy of being the head of the three feudatories, and it was a vassal state that inherited the accumulation of the Great Song Dynasty in Nanyang during the Hai Song Dynasty.

The ancient families and generations of gate lords in Dinghai City are more than three times that of Mengzhou City as far as Li Zhe knows, and Tianzhu is far worse than Ning Fan in this regard.

With so many old families and big businessmen living here for generations, it is no wonder that Dinghai is known as the pearl of the sea and the richest place in the world.

However, these people, at this moment when Ning Fan was about to fall, they had no idea of advancing and retreating with King Ning, and before Li Zhe led the army to Dinghai, these people's intention to take refuge was already surging. The sycophancy in these letters is that Li Zhe claims that he has been tested for a long time, and he is also caught off guard, which is simply shameless!

Li Zhe couldn't help but shake his head, the world is really an empire that will fall, Dinghai is like this, and it is estimated that Lin'an before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty is almost the same!

Li Zhe is not a king yet, but at this moment, he can feel the embarrassment of King Ning in Dinghai City for the first time.

At this moment, King Ning himself is probably the most regretful, it was he who single-handedly provoked this war and buried the inheritance passed down from his ancestors with his own hands.

However, feeling is feeling, but he will never have even the slightest sympathy for King Ning.

No matter how embarrassed King Ning is, he will catch him with his own hands, take it to the front of the case, and ask,

"Have you ever thought of today?"

………………………………………………

Reflecting the golden light, the fleet turned the bow of the ship in order, and the entire huge fleet turned due north along the Dinghai Strait, and sailed to the Dinghai Harbor Wharf, where the gun muzzle of the bow of the battleship was lifted and was already aimed at the battery in the port.

The strange thing is that the naval warships of the Ning Domain, which were supposed to be fighting in the strait, did not know where to go, and they did not appear, so that the fleet of the Tianzhu Army under Li Zhe sailed smoothly to Dinghai Port.

Li Zhe didn't know who the current chief of the Ning Fan Water Division was, and this was definitely one of the biggest mistakes he made.

You must know that even though Li Zhe was confident that he would use his own fleet to defeat the enemy, he was not sure to block the advance of the enemy's warships on this wide sea.

Only one-third of the Tianzhu fleet were pure warships, and most of the rest were transport ships full of Japanese landing officers and ammunition.

Even if the enemy only has a few warships to break through the blockade of the Tianzhu Naval Division's warships and rush into the rear convoy, it will bring great losses to this fleet. In fact, in order to hurry, Li Zhe was already prepared to pay heavy losses.

Who knew that there was no interception by the enemy in the strait, and it was an unforgivable mistake to let Li Zhe lead his army all the way into Dinghai Harbor.

But, of course, this is absolutely good news for the Tianzhu people.

Once Li Zhe's fleet sailed into Dinghai Harbor, it would be difficult for the enemy to resist his advance.

Li Zhe planned to lead his army to force a landing at Dinghai Port under the cover of the superior artillery fire of his own warships.

The fleet released a series of small flat-bottomed landing ships, full of Japanese soldiers, bowed waists, holding firearms in their hands, carrying ammunition behind their backs, and their eyes staring ahead, and each ship had a small fast cannon on the bow, and two gunners waiting, facing the harbor.

The small boats were lowered from the big boats, and gradually gathered together, forming several long horizontal rows, slowly sailing towards the harbor. It's like a school of fish on their way home.

All the ships and people held their breath, waiting for orders behind them.

At this moment, looking over from the high bridge of the warship, the Tianzhu people suddenly found that on the dock of Dinghai Port opposite, it was silent, and there was not a single boat that started moving, a person walking, and the entire dock was like dead.

Even on the two defensive batteries built on the dock, there were only artillery, and no one was in sight.

Fang Chen put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and wondered,

"Hell, where are all the people hiding?"

What kind of trick is this playing?

Tunnel warfare? Or is it an empty city?

This really made the Tianzhu people inexplicable, and even a little panicked.

It wasn't until a civilian boat with a white flag raised in the field of vision drove tremblingly from the dock that the news brought by the people on board dispelled everyone's doubts, and then the whole army boiled.

Dinghai, surrendered!
