"They're good for me, it's my business! Since then, I will not interfere in the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty anymore, without the threat of Mongolia in the north, the court of the Great Song Dynasty will immediately have to be turned into a hot kiln, and I will insert a pole to come in, that is not to be unhappy. By the way, how did you come up with this Minuteman? I don't want your style. If it was Cixi who did it, I think it is reliable, but Cixi is not so bold to do such a thing behind my back, right? Tell me, who came up with the idea? Hong Tao commanded the fleet to fight for several days, and he didn't feel tired before, but now as soon as he relaxed, he couldn't feel energetic, and he didn't bother to move when he lay down, so he just lay on the sofa and talked to Luo Youde. He didn't care about the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was very curious about the origin of Luo Youde's volunteer army.

"Hey! I was also reckless this time, and after meeting Wen Nan, I realized that Cixi and I had let that Wen Hao play tricks. Originally, Cixi and I thought that you instructed Wen Hao to come forward to make a noise, but who would have thought it was his own idea. I knew this earlier, what did I have to do with him......" When it comes to the matter of the volunteers, Luo Youde is a lawsuit, he has played eagle all his life this time, and the result is that the little family finch pecked his eyes.

“…… Hey, hey, hey...... It's kind of interesting! Wennan also has such a younger brother who was born to be a politician, and this hand is really beautiful. This is called Yangmou, unless I am in Guangzhou, no one can stop him from using my fleet as a bargaining chip to increase his own prestige, why don't you say that Lao Wen has inherited some of these genes? After listening to Luo Youde's narration, Hong Tao quickly figured out what Wen Hao was doing for. This kind of thing is not unique in history, but it is very common, and it is not too difficult for political manoeuvres. The only thing that is difficult is the vision and guts. Wen Hao seems to have both of these qualities.

"Your Majesty means that this Wen Hao has a ghost in his heart! But he is Wen Nan's cousin. Isn't it easy to handle? After being reminded by Hong Tao, Luo Youde also figured out what Wen Hao was doing for. He grew up in a family of eunuchs since he was a child, and although he is not keen on political power, he is not ignorant of it at all, but his reaction is a little slow.

"What to deal with? Why should I deal with him? He didn't bother me. I don't want to be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the Great Song Dynasty's own family affairs, we can't take care of it, let him toss it. I will talk to Cixi. Let him stare at Wen Hao secretly, as long as he doesn't fight our Jinhe Empire's idea, how to play and how he likes, I want to see how far he can jump. "Hong Tao didn't expect Luo Youde to start opening his mouth to deal with people and closing his mouth to deal with people, this is really close to Zhu and red and black to ink. He has been with himself for a long time, and he has actually learned his own philosophy of preferring me to bear the world rather than the world to bear me.

"Gotta ...... I've got to go up and have a look, I haven't seen hundreds of ships fighting at sea. I'm afraid I'll never see this thing once in my life. Your Majesty, why don't you go up and explain to me? As we talked, the rumbling sound of cannon could be heard in the distance. And it's getting denser. Luo Youde immediately jumped up, wanted to go to the deck to watch the battle, and wanted to take Hong Tao with him.

"You can play by yourself, I don't have the time to accompany you, and don't harass Weng Ya, she has been tired for several days and is pregnant." Hong Tao didn't even raise his eyelids, he was tired of watching the naval battle, and even tired of fighting, and he didn't want to see it anymore. As soon as he saw those bloody scenes, he couldn't help but think of Chen Qihong and Captain Gao, who had all been blown to pieces......

Tragic! For the first time, Luo Youde saw the naval battles of hundreds of ships and hundreds of ships, and for the first time, he also saw how large-scale naval battles were conducted in this era. When the two sides approach, there is no formation to speak of, there is no difference between a big ship and a small boat, and the tactics are even more monotonous, basically there is only one trick, which is to engage in broadside battles. As soon as the two ships get close, they immediately start shooting arrows and firing guns, and play with all the long-range weapons, and the number of people killed is as many as they can be, and it would be even more perfect if they could set the opposing ship on fire.

Then they hooked each other's ships and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, no different from land warfare. Sometimes several ships will come together in a pile, and you hook me, I hook him, and he hooks you, and no one wants to leave alone. When a ship catches fire, and several ships next to each other are on fire, there is no way to retreat than whose ships are more than one, whose soldiers are brave, and whose morale is high.

The Southern Song Dynasty sailors were indeed the same as Kong Pei said, much braver than their army brothers, at least they didn't see those who flinched from battle, and they didn't necessarily lose the wind when they fought each other one-on-one. In terms of the number of ships, the Mongolian sailors suffered; In terms of the number of soldiers, there are still few Mongolian sailors; In terms of morale, not to mention, they have never seen a happy thing since they set sail from Dengzhou, they are beaten every day, they hide in Tibet every day, and they can't talk about morale at all. If they could choose to escape at this time, they might be able to escape faster than the Southern Song Army, they are all human beings, and no one is born brave.

But they can't escape, subjectively or objectively, this is the sea! The Mongol generals, who had been cornered, went mad, and with tears in their eyes, they sang songs, and tried to die with everyone who came near them.

The naval battle began in the evening and continued all night until the afternoon of the next day. The Mongolian sailors finally couldn't bear it, and after several breakthroughs, although they broke through the encirclement of the Southern Song Dynasty sailors, they were blocked back by the royal navy cruising outside. In the face of the Royal Navy, which could inflict great damage on its own ships without even getting close, the Mongolian sailors, who no longer had the size and unified command, had no power to fight back, as long as they slowed down a little to avoid it, the Southern Song Dynasty sailors behind would rush up, making them fall into the encirclement again.

"Uncle, what are they doing?" Seeing that dusk was approaching, cheers suddenly sounded on the sea, Weng Ya had never seen such a scene, and was a little confused.

"They surrendered, and at night, the Southern Song sailors were stronger than the Mongol sailors, and they were already able to use incendiary bombs. If the Mongolian sailors can't break through before dark, they basically won't be able to resist for one night. Hong Tao and Luo Youde's volunteers have never participated in the war, but only acted as a second blockade line, and by the way, they became a medical boat to rescue the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers who fell into the water and settle them, and then simply treat their wounds.

After a day and a night of fighting, and after paying the price of more than 500 ships, the Southern Song Dynasty sailors were able to annihilate the desperate Mongolian sailors on the Yangtze River estuary. This was a great victory, a unique victory in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were more than 20,000 enemy soldiers, sailors, and generals captured alone, of which more than 10,000 were real Mongol soldiers, and more died, and the number is no longer clear. A large number of sharks, pilot whales, and other fish came to the surface, and they saw and bit everything, dyeing the originally yellow waters the color of red bricks.

The Southern Song Dynasty sailors also suffered more than 5,000 casualties, but fortunately they were the victors and had time to rescue their comrades, otherwise the number of casualties would have doubled. Zheng Qingzhi was spoiled by this coke, and he almost looked up to the sky and laughed when he looked at the dozens of captured Mongolian naval warships and the corpses of the Mongolian Khan's own brother and the Khan's son who died in the war. This credit is too great, so big that there is no boundary, even if Yue Fei and Yue Xianggong back then, he did not have such a brilliant record.

What made him even more ambitious was that Hong Tao was 100% sure that the Mongol Empire had suffered a lot of vitality, not to mention the sailors, even if the army on land would not be able to invade south within a few years. Because their treasury has been emptied by this naval division, even if the Mongolian Great Khan is the pride of the heavens to maintain political stability, it is very likely that their internal chaos will occur, and the number of officials who lost their heads due to the destruction of the naval division is definitely more than three digits.

What does this mean? It's very simple, it means that he Zheng Qingyi sent troops, decided the battle in the first battle, and directly crippled the Mongol Empire, and whether to take the opportunity to counterattack and regain lost territory can already be put on the agenda. Looking at all dynasties and generations in the history books, there are few who can reach his level!

Of course, there is also the credit of Hong Tao, the emperor of the allied countries. To put it bluntly, most of this victory was done by Hong Tao, he was just a bargain picker. But the problem is that picking up cheap is also a technical job, and Zhao Fan also wants to pick it up, but what is the result? Drowned! (To be continued.) )
