Chapter 792: The Sea is Open

On the sixth day of the third month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, there was no moon in the sky, but there were unexpectedly many stars, Zhang Dake and Zhou Chujun sat on the newly built command ship of 2,000 materials, staring at the handsome flag on the big ship that was withdrawn by the south wind blowing from the sea with solemn faces.

Three hundred renovated warships, in the roaring southeast wind, swaying up and down with the huge waves, on each warship, countless Ming Marine Corps officers and men who were ready to go had solemn faces, held their breath and listened, all of them were listening to the slightest sound coming from the dark sea.

The southeast wind has been blowing for five days, and all the soldiers have been waiting nervously for five days, just to wait for a voice.

On the high enemy tower of Denglai Water Village, a tall and thin figure also stood under the dark starlight, looking at the vague, white and frozen sea, listening, listening to his heartbeat, listening to the sound of the sea.

Tens of thousands of soldiers are listening to their heartbeats and the sound of the sea.

At the same time, at the front end of the Huludao Port wharf, Lu Hanqiang led his group of civil and military officers to listen hard in the face of the frozen sea and the cold southeast wind, listening to his heartbeat and the sound of the sea.

The Bohai Sea is frozen, which has appeared in recent years, and as the winter gets colder and colder, the frozen area is getting larger and larger, and now it has spread to Shandong, completely cutting off the north and south sea routes, and also allowing the sailors to be trapped in the harbor.

Now, the strong south wind has been blowing for five days, in this strong south wind, there has been heating from the south, but the winter is too cold, the sea is too solid, it has been five days and five nights, under the strong southeast wind continues to blow, the entire Bohai Bay is still frozen and a huge mirror, there is no melting phenomenon, how can this not let the Shandong Navy Division that is ready to go, let the entire Fuliao army be anxious?

"Kala." An inaudible sound came from the white and frozen sea, and everyone's heartstrings seemed to be plucked by a huge palm, and everyone immediately froze there.

"Kala, kala." More and more voices kept coming, and the voices became louder and louder, until they finally converged into a huge harmony that made people's blood boil, filling the heavens and the earth.

Then in the slightly white morning light, the huge sea ice that was originally connected like a mirror began to appear a thin ice crack, and then this ice gap, like a woke snake, began to slowly snake towards the distance, as its posture became more and more agile, the speed became faster and faster, and then soon, it gathered with countless awakened sea snakes, and divided the entire sea ice into countless large ice blocks.

The ice, propelled by the tide surging below, began to wriggle and lift up, and when it reached its highest point, it crumbled and shattered, and a huge wave broke up, smashing more of the ice rows, revealing the dark seaβ€”the open sea.

"The sea is open, the sea is open." Lu Hanqiang hugged Wang Dazhuang beside him excitedly, and his voice was already choked up.

"Yes, yes, the sea has been opened, the sea has been opened, our counteroffensive has begun, I will rush to the Daling River now, and we can fight now." With Wang Dazhuang's answer, everyone on the dock immediately got on their horses without hesitation, whipped their horses, and rushed to the distant Daling River, preparing to start a decisive battle against Panshan Jiannu.

"The sea is open, the sea is open." Sun Yuanhua, who was standing on the enemy tower of the water village, actually lay on the railing and cried: "God bless the Ming Dynasty, God bless the Han people in the world." ”

"Open the sea, open the sea." Zhang Dake and Zhou Chujun stood up suddenly, and with their shouting, it was the earth-shattering shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers: "Open the sea, open the sea-"

Zhang Dake strode out of the cabin, stood on the handsome ship, drew his sword, and pointed straight at the sea of stars: "Daming sailor, facing the sea of stars, attackβ€”β€”"

Tens of thousands of sailors raised their weapons together and roared at the sea of stars: "Daming sailor, facing the sea of stars, attack-"

With a few earth-shattering cannons, three hundred Ming naval ships set sail one after another, rushing towards the sea of stars.

There are very few lights in the dark and dreary Shengjing City, and the palace of Huang Taiji is even more eerie and terrifying, even the little eunuchs on duty at night have become cautious and lightened, for fear of accidentally annoying Huang Taiji.

The eunuch who patrols the night is carrying a gong, but he doesn't dare to knock it anymore, he is walking cautiously, for fear of making a little sound, at this time there is a soft crying sound in his ears, he stops, looks left and right to look for the sound of crying, but it turned out to be under the palace wall of the Sensen, rows of the lowest eunuchs' houses, this old eunuch who is more valuable, couldn't help but sigh, quietly walked to the row of houses, gently pushed open the door, this is the rule of the palace, the eunuchs' doors can not be bolted, In order to facilitate the eunuchs to come to the ward at any time, and the eunuchs on duty, go out quietly, so as not to disturb their companions,

As the door opened, the soft crying stopped abruptly, and the old eunuch stood in front of the door kindly, and whispered to a row of kang shops in the dark: "Don't you want to die?" When is this? In case your cry is heard by the Lord Banzai and disturbs the Holy Driver, he will immediately pull you out to feed the dogs. Then he sighed softly: "Is it a new entry into the palace?" are all hard-working people, bear with it, once you enter this palace wall, you will never have a chance to go out, your only chance is to become a great eunuch, and then you can let go of the wind when you go out to spread the decree. He muttered here, but no one answered his words, the old eunuch felt bored, so he withdrew from the room, and gently brought the door to these hard-working people, although March is already spring, but in this bitter cold place in the north, it is still like a sword and frost, once they fall ill with a cold, then they are left with only a way of death.

"They're all miserable!"

Just exited the house, but there was a childish voice in the house, trembling and asking, "Uncle, can't I really go out to see my mother?" ”

With this one title, it proved that the little eunuch had just entered the palace, and had not even learned the minimum title, so the old eunuch was moved with compassion, and pushed open the door again, and with the starlight leaking in from the broken window paper, he actually saw a group of little eunuchs kneeling on the cold fire, and there were bright tears on the pale little faces in the starlight.

Looking at the poor little faces, the old eunuch sighed: "Once you enter the deep palace, it is as deep as the sea, and it will be difficult to see your relatives again, child, bear it here!" ”

As a result, this sentence immediately made several children in the house cry bitterly.

"Okay, okay, shut up, you don't want to die?" The old eunuch hurriedly scolded them in a low voice, making them hold back their cries one by one, "What kind of place is this?" Do you think it's outside? If you want to cry, you can cry, if you want to scream, this is a place with rules, your crying is really going to disturb the Lord of Long Live, then you are not far from raiding the house and destroying the door. ”

Even coaxed and frightened, finally calmed these little eunuchs, look at the howling north wind outside, this old eunuch has no interest in patrolling the night, so he sat directly on the kang, as a result, that is, the so-called fire kang, it turned out to be as cold as an iron plate, but it can only be helpless, the palace is now nervous, not to mention these new little eunuchs, that is, the big eunuchs who have served the emperor and the queen concubines for many years, can hold a firewood to burn a kang, it has almost become a luxury, because even the current emperor, It's only one or two times a day, let alone these new little ones.

"How did you get in? Tell Grandpa. In order to appease these children not to cry, the old eunuch was indeed moved by compassion, so he had nothing to say to ask them, anyway, this cold night is long, and I don't know when it will be the end, talk to people, and relieve my boredom.

Today, many children are silent, frightened, shrunk into the bed, only one child, quite smart, whispered and replied, also: "Grandpa, my family was originally a Han in Liaozhong, to a master to cultivate the land as a slave, originally my father can go out with the master every year to fight, can get a little reward from the master, get a little booty, but this year is not good, this year the master said that it is impossible to go out to fight again, everyone can only farm at home with peace of mind." But it's impossible to farm at home, that hateful guy named Lu Hanqiang, just this autumn, burned down our master's crops and house, so that our master didn't have a handful of grain to take back home, and even my master was living on the streets, not to mention us long-term slaves? Seeing that the family had no way to live, they were ruthless when they came to me, cut off my little dingding, and asked my Taoist master to send me to the palace and become a handyman. And before I entered the palace, my mother and my younger brothers and sisters had starved to death, and my father was also incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han people. And he did not weep again.

The old eunuch looked sadly at the other children and asked, "Are you like this too?" ”

As a result, the little eunuch on this kang is basically the same as this child.

The old eunuch gently knocked on the edge of the kang, "Evil, evil!" Lu Hanqiang, you have created a great sin! ”

Although not out of the deep palace, but outside things, the old eunuch still knows a little, this kid is really good, originally, we Manchu people, sweeping all over the world, it is really a good day full of infinite money, every time a big victory returns, the emperor will give some money to these bitter people in the palace, so that he, the bitter people, how much money can be sent home? If you don't have a home, you can go out quietly and buy some things you like in the bazaar, so even you, the most inferior eunuch, have a stable life, at least in terms of eating and drinking, it is thousands of times stronger than now. Look at what everyone is eating now? Don't talk about this, the new little eunuch, even his old official for many years, is just a cabbage soup nest, and there is no longer the original fish and meat, let alone a reward.

That's it, the world's major events, after all, the emperor and the ministers have the final say, as long as everyone boils up, they can still hope for a future, but in the autumn of last year, when the crops were about to ripen, that hateful Lu Hanqiang actually took tens of thousands of horses and burned almost all the crops in this Dajin country in countless small units, as well as all the villages and towns and houses they passed, and for a time thick smoke and flames flew up.

The emperor also sent the elite of the Eight Banners to encircle and suppress everywhere, but unfortunately this Lu Hanqiang is as cunning as a loach, he can't catch it at all, he is here today, he will be there tomorrow, he saw the encirclement and suppression of the army, and he ran away in a blink of an eye, and they didn't take killing and fighting as their task at all, they just set fire to the house and burned the crops.

As a result, the house was burned, and you can also build a nest to spend this cold winter, but the crops are burned and there is no food for everyone to live, which really wants people's old lives, and there is no harvest in the autumn The original rations are less, after this winter, the ****** has been raging and spreading in this Dajin Dynasty, according to the eunuchs who went out to buy, now in the four gates of Shenyang City, a large number of hungry people flock into every day, and the streets of Shenyang are full, every morning, the yamen at all levels, Although the emperor also ordered to set up porridge sheds in various places to give porridge and rice, but there was more porridge and less porridge, which did not play any role, but it just played the reputation of the emperor's grace. Now, in order to save food, the imminent shortage of green and yellow is coming, and even the ability to reduce food expenditures has begun.

But I also heard that the emperor has sent people to Jiangnan to purchase grain, and wants to transport it through North Korea, and we will come to Dajin Kingdom, but now that the Bohai Sea is closed, it will not be possible for ships to pass until the sea ice in the Bohai Sea melts.

Now the emperor is also looking forward to the south wind rising and the Bohai Sea is freezing, so the emperor sleeps every day, on the highest phoenix tower in the palace, and sends special eunuchs to check the wind direction every day.

"Come on the south wind! Come on the south wind! If you don't come again, this big Jin Dynasty may starve to death. ”

It seemed that the old eunuch's prayer had worked, and the north wind, which had been circling and whistling on the roof, suddenly quieted down, and the old eunuch immediately pricked up his ears, and all the little eunuchs in the house, like the old eunuch, nervously pricked up their ears to listen to the wind outside.

Quiet, as quiet as death, but only half a quarter of an hour, the window paper towards the south began to beat gently, snort, and then, louder and louder, and finally turned into a great force, will? The window, which had been closed for a winter, was slammed open, and a southerly wind with the cold spring cold rushed into the cold room, making everyone shiver.

The old eunuch Huo Ran got up, clenched his fists tightly, lowered his voice and cheered: "The south wind is up, the south wind is up, the sea is open, the sea is open, Dajin is saved." ”
