Chapter 743: Forward, Flying Henan
ο»Ώ
The remnant sun is like blood, red and red.
Redder than the setting sun were the burning ships, and the sea was full of broken planks and dead soldiers' corpses.
The shouts and screams had faded away, and everything was silent except for the crackling of the flames and the waves.
The sharp bow of the Henan broke through the turquoise water, as if flying on the surface of the ocean.
It has been almost eight hours since the battle began, and this unprecedented sea battle has finally ended. In another hour, it will be completely dark.
After a day of bloody fighting, the Henan was full of traces of artillery fire and human blood.
On the deck lay a number of wounded soldiers, all of whom were covered in gauze red with blood. But everyone didn't feel pain, and their faces were full of happiness.
Several generals of the Ningxiang Army and Navy Division laughed and smashed their fists against each other.
"Damn, today's battle was enjoyable, it took eight hours, and now I'm so tired that I can't lift my hands."
"Are your hands sore, haha, look at your weak appearance, isn't it just two broadside battles and two enemies, it's a bird!" Someone snorted disdainfully.
The man who was sneered at said angrily: "You underestimate me? β
"Ouch, am I underestimating you? I just don't look down on you for so much suffering, as if you were fighting this battle alone. You don't look at Zhao Facai, who is the one who was born in the Datong Border Firearms Battalion, and later became the captain of the naval division. Today, Lao Zhao was guarding from head to end on the gun position. The beating made my body hot, and I even took off my pants. Up to now, Lao Zhao's two arms are so swollen that they can't lift them because of the loading of shells. You have to feed your subordinates when you eat, can people call it bitter? β
Also, one of the Zheng family's shells shot through the bulkhead, directly smashing a gunner next to Lao Zhao into meat sauce, and Lao Zhao didn't frown, and the shell that was dripping and turning on the ground was stuffed into the barrel and returned to the enemy. β
"Good man, good man!" The generals were all applauded.
Only then did the man say stupidly: "Indeed, Brother Zhao is a man, and Lao Tzu is also convinced." "Recommend Baidu/Chess-Zi*Small/Say/Net Readingγ"
Someone patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you are also a good man today, let's stop talking, let's go, let's be hungry for a day, let's eat and drink." β
The man: "Hehe, forget it, what about the war and march, you can't drink, and when we return to Tongzhou Port, we will fight again." β
"I can't kill you!"
The crowd burst out laughing.
Different from the elation of his subordinates, Fang Wei sat on the bow of the ship at this moment, looking at the burning sea in front of him without saying a word.
found out that the commander was wrong, and someone asked: "General Fang, what's wrong with you?" β
Fang Wei seemed to wake up in a nightmare, and ordered: "This battle is won by us, and we will pass the book to the general Feige, and say that Quanzhou is a great victory, and Jinjiang is a great victory." At this point, the mobile force of the Zheng family's fleet has been completely wiped out by our Yangzhou naval division, and it will not be able to recover in two years. The Zheng family can no longer pose a threat to our army in the Yellow Sea, and the Japanese shipping route has been opened. Fang Wei is finally worthy of the general's trust, and worthy of the silver that Junzhen has invested in the water master for so many years. From now on, our sailors will no longer spend a penny on the military town. What the generals invested in the past, Fang Wei will earn back a hundred times and a thousand times. β
Yes, this is an unprecedented victory, and the battle is so tragic as soon as it starts. In the wide Taiwan Strait, there are warships fighting in teams, and countless ships are burning in flames, destroyed by scorching shells and sinking like the icy bottom of the sea. The Ningxiang Army also paid a lot of price, sinking more than 30 warships, and 100 damaged warships that lost power. Relying on the hard training of the past, relying on the new warships and artillery, the Ningxiang Army still won the victory.
In this battle, the Zheng family lost 200 warships and 2,000 soldiers, and basically withdrew from the battle for the Yellow Sea.
Fang Wei's voice became louder: "Since the formation of the Yangzhou Navy Division, I have been defeated and defeated repeatedly. Failed countless times, and now that I think about it, I only won two. One was the Battle of the Yellow Sea, which defeated Jiro Tagawa a year ago, and the other is now. As the general said, it doesn't matter if you lose many times, as long as you win the last one. Today, our army won this last battle, and the victory belonged to the Ningxiang army and to General Sun. Tell the general, we have won an unprecedented victory on the battlefield, and now it is time to get more loot at the negotiating table! β
"Yes!" A bookkeeper responded loudly and was about to go back to the cabin to write the good news.
"Wait." Fang Wei stopped him and said, "Add a sentence, Fang Wei's flagship Henan is not good, I hope the general will be kind and change the name." β
In the past, when this battleship was just launched, Dafang went to ask Sun Yuan to name the pride of this Yangzhou sailor. As a result, Sun Yuan thought about it all night, and finally wrote down the eight characters of "Flying Henan People" on the paper.
It's so ugly.
Hearing Fang Wei mention this again, everyone burst out laughing.
"Yes, General Fang!"
Fang Wei: "We won't go to Quanzhou, wear my orders, the whole army will return to the division, let's go home!" He drew a longbow from his guard and drew it into a full moon.
"Whew!" With a bang, white feathered arrows roared out.
The Henan made a big turn and plowed a deep and graceful ravine on the sea.
The east wind was strong, and the ship was running fast, and from a distance, it seemed as if it were soaring into the sky.
Go ahead, flying Henan!
***************************************************
"What, our army was completely annihilated by the Yangzhou Naval Division!" Zheng Hongkui screamed, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
In the book house, everyone was stunned.
After a long time, one of the staff members said carefully: "Commander, my family and Yangzhou Town are in peace...... You see...... When to start over? β
"Start over, start over, what more can we talk about?" Zheng Hongkui's face was bitter: "If I go to talk to Sun Yuan now, my Zheng family will definitely make major concessions, which is no longer something I can decide." Send a letter to the eldest brother and ask for his opinion. β
"Yes, this matter can only be decided by the guerrillas."
Soon, Nanjing sent Zheng Hongkui's letter to Fujian.
Half a month later, a letter came from Fujian, and judging from Zheng Zhilong's letter, he was very depressed and worried. said that the Zheng family sailor suffered a heavy blow this time, and he couldn't recover in a year or two. It seems that the Yellow Sea to Japan route must make appropriate concessions to Yangzhou Town, otherwise, once Sun Yuan sends a fleet south to Fujian again to attack the root of the Zheng family, the problem will be serious.
Zheng Zhilong means to reconcile with Yangzhou Town as soon as possible, and if the conditions are right, agree to it!
After Zheng Hongkui received the letter, he couldn't help frowning. After thinking for a while, he said to his subordinates that they could talk with Sun Yuan, but they could not make too many concessions on the issue of principle. For example, on the issue of the Japanese route, the Zheng family can be the main one, and Yangzhou Town can be involved, but the quantity and type of goods trafficked must be controlled and supervised by the Zheng family. In this way, the interests of the Zheng family can be maximized.
Then he sent someone to contact Sun Yuan and make an appointment to restart the peace talks.
However, this time Sun Yuan did not give him any reply. However, making major concessions is no longer something I can decide. Send a letter to the eldest brother and ask for his opinion. β
"Yes, this matter can only be decided by the guerrillas."
