After the fall of Dongshan Fort, there was no barrier in Haiyang Water Village. Li Zhu, the commander of the Annan Naval Division www.biquge.info, was killed by his subordinates after fainting and was killed by his subordinates in Shuizhai. At this time, Li Zhu was awake, and at this time, there were only a few Annam warships on the sea that were on fire, and the rest of the ships were all destroyed. There are thousands of soldiers and civilians in the water village, but there is no soldier to fight, and there is no heart to fight.

The generals did not know the decision, Li Zhu ordered someone to investigate the whereabouts of Ruan Guowei and Zheng Hai, and after learning that Zheng Hai was killed and Ruan Guowei fell into the water and did not know whether he was alive or dead, Li Zhu deliberately abandoned Haiyang Water Village, and the soldiers and civilians fled to the direction of Nanding Mansion on their own. Some of the generals said that the forts of the east and west mountains were still there, and giving up the water village at this time would undoubtedly shake the east and west mountains, and the army and civilians retreated on their own as if they were defeated.

When Li Zhu hesitated, several defeated soldiers from Dongshan came to report that the fort had fallen, and the commander Zheng Hua and hundreds of soldiers and civilians bravely jumped off the cliff and died in the country. When Li Zhu heard the news, he did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly ordered the water village to be abandoned, and the soldiers and civilians immediately fled in the direction of Nanding Mansion. The order to abandon the village was ordered, and the water village suddenly became a mess, and thousands of sailors and families helped the old and the young, crying and crying, a scene of the end of the world.

Hearing the sound of Ming people shouting and killing in Dongshan, the Ming sailors on the sea fired artillery bombardment to hit the water village, and it was impossible to organize the retreat of the family and the people, so Li Zhu only led more than 100 people from his cronies to flee on horseback. On the way, Fan Yongjin and his entourage were late, and learned that the water division was gone, the water village was occupied, and Li Zhu wanted to retreat to Nanding Mansion, Fan Yongjin was taken aback, hugged Li Zhu's horse legs and begged not to retreat lightly, when he ordered the surrounding area to mobilize a soldier and recapture the water village bravely, so as not to make the Ming water division gain a foothold in the border, and at the same time quickly go to Shenglong Mansion for help, otherwise the country will be in a big disaster.

Li Zhu didn't listen, and the morale of the army was gone, and it was difficult to recapture Shuizhai. Fan Yongjin had no choice but to say that he would not recapture Shuizhai, nor should he retreat to Nanding, and when he gathered the remnants of the army and mobilized Zhou Jin's troops to garrison Shannan Pass, lest the Ming people take advantage of the situation to attack the hinterland, threaten Nanding, and shake the capital.

Fan Yongjin called a soldier as one of the Zheng family soldiers in Annan. Zheng has more than 76,000 soldiers, and its soldiers are divided into two kinds, one is excellent soldiers, and the source of soldiers comes from Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and other prefectures, and the soldiers are drawn according to the example of three dings; Another kind of soldier is called a soldier, and the source of soldiers comes from the four towns in the north, namely Shannan, Jingbei, Haiyang, and Shanxi.

Zheng stipulated that the best soldiers should be stationed in the capital, and they should be selected as guards to guard the palace and the main palace. Because the excellent soldiers have public land to support, and they can be crowned with posts, most of the Zheng generals are from a soldier, and their combat power is stronger than that of a soldier, and they are the elite army of the Zheng Guard. The more than 2,000 troops led by Zheng Hua, the defender of Dongshan Fort, were the excellent soldiers who were urgently transferred back from the southern front. The Zheng family currently has 50,000 excellent soldiers, half of which are stationed in Lanjiang and Xiangshan counties on the southern line to confront the Ruan army. Most of the rest were stationed in Thang Long Province to defend Gyeonggi.

A soldier was on duty to guard the towns in turn, to wait on the officials, and to return to the countryside to farm the land, and then to be called up when necessary. On the Zheng family's military register, there are more than 23,000 soldiers in the army, divided into dozens of odds, ranging from 200 to 300 people per odd, leaving half in the army, half returning to their hometowns, and so on. In other words, a soldier is like a soldier of the Ming Dynasty guard, the combat power is not as good as the excellent soldier, and the salary is not as good, and it is only regarded as a soldier of local security by the Zheng family. A few years ago, he was at war with the Nguyen clan in the south, and never transferred a single soldier. In addition to the first soldier and excellent soldiers, each prefecture and county recruits its own township bravery, but the township brave is worse than a soldier, and it is not allowed to practice at all on weekdays, and it is probably only used to transport military rations for the front line and assume the responsibility of a servant.

At present, there are no excellent soldiers near Nanding, but there are soldiers and volunteers in the neighboring prefectures and counties, and there are rout troops fleeing in Shuizhai, and more than 1,000 people can be used with a little integration. Fan Yongjin's suggestion was to make Li Zhu integrate the defeated army and mobilize a soldier to defend Shannan, so that the Ming could not go deep into the hinterland to obtain replenishment, and he could fight for it when he negotiated in the future, forcing the Ming to withdraw their troops. If they just abandon Shannan and go straight to Nanding, then the Ming people will be able to take advantage of the situation to loot money, grain, and goods in the hinterland of Annam, and the supplies will be continuous, and there will be no talk of withdrawing the army.

It is a pity that Li Zhu did not adopt this correct view, but fled on the pretext of being seriously injured, ringing in the ears, dizzy and heartbeat, and had to go to Nanding for medical treatment, and fled all the way for more than 100 miles until he fled into Nanding Mansion. Fan Yongjin shouted angrily on the road, saying that Li Zhu's move was to lure the wolf into the house and abandon the Ping Domain. In addition to grief and indignation, Fan Yongjin led dozens of followers to have the intention of reining in the rout, but none of the routs paid attention to him, so he had no choice but to flee to Nanding, and at the same time sent people to report to Shenglong and the counties and towns of the left and right prefectures.

Haiyang Water Village, Xishan Fort Guard Ruan Xiong saw that Dongshan had fallen, and the Water Village was in chaos, fearing that the Ming people would take advantage of the situation to attack Xishan, so he ignored the persuasion of his subordinates, retreated without a fight, and even sent troops to capture the families of the fleeing sailors on the way to escape, making the road sad.

At this time, the sun had set in the West Mountain, because he was not familiar with the terrain around Haiyang Water Village, Zhao Ziqiang passed down a military order, ordering the water division to enter Anyang Water Village and clean up the mess. The eleventh town took over the east and west mountain forts, and the twelve towns settled in the water village together with the water division. In addition, he ordered people to take in the prisoners, selected young and strong people to compile a roster, and sent them back to Guangdong to serve as miners on a certain day.

After some counting, the results of the naval battle have been released, a total of 74 warships of the Annan Navy Division were sunk and burned, more than 4,250 Annan naval troops were killed, more than 2,650 Annan infantry were killed, and more than 2,000 Annan officers and soldiers and more than 4,000 Annan sailors and their families were captured.

On the side of the Ming army, the naval division lost 13 large and small warships and 680 officers and men; The 11th town of the army lost 1,250 officers and soldiers, one thousand households were killed, two people per 100 households, and five people from the general banner. Wu Yuan was happy and said to Zhao Ziqiang: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang has just been in charge of the country, and our army has won this great victory, so send someone to report the victory to His Highness by boat!" ”

Zhao Ziqiang snorted when he heard this: "What kind of bird, Your Highness, I Zhao Ziqiang only have the handsome in my eyes, and I can have it today because of the handsome, but it is not given by His Highness." Drinking water does not dig the source, this good news has to be reported to the marshal first, so that he is happy! ”

When Wu Yuan and the generals of the water division heard this, they couldn't help but be a little sneering, Lu Guangzu stepped forward and laughed and snorted, saying that reporting to the marshal and reporting to His Royal Highness that they know are the same, so why bother with each other. After speaking, he instructed the staff officers of the military secretary's office to send someone back to the military marshal's mansion early tomorrow morning to report the victory.

Lu Guangzu smiled and asked Zhao Ziqiang: "Lord Dudu, I have gone to Haiyang Water Village, but I don't know if I want to negotiate with the Annan people about this, and I want to go back to the eldest princess and her party, so as not to have many dreams at night?" ”

Zhao Ziqiang shook his head and said, "How good can it be to negotiate now?" The handsome man made it clear that we came to Annan with all our hard work, not just for the sake of important people. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow, we will send an army to attack that Nanding Mansion, and after we take it, we will wave our army to kill Benshenglong Mansion, and see that his Zheng family can't sit still."

"Hit the Shenglong Mansion?"

Lu Guangzu and Wu Yuan and other generals were all shocked, but the marshal didn't say anything about beating the capital of the Annan people before he came.

"It's not fun to make a small fuss, if you want to do it, you can do it." Zhao Ziqiang licked his lips and said. (To be continued.) )
