Chapter 621: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "visit" Tianjin Water Master!

On the first day of the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen,.

There is nothing particularly happy, and there is nothing particularly depressed, and the days seem to have been dull all of a sudden. The atmosphere of victory slowly changed to the tense atmosphere of preparing for battle. When Huang Taiji will come, I don't know for the time being. The only thing that is certain is that he will come, and the sky will fall apart, and the earth will shake. Dongjiabao will once again face a severe test.

It is conceivable that after the arrival of Huang Taiji, the battle will never be as easy as before. Some veterans began to follow the requirements of the above, silently asking the literacy officer to help write a suicide note, and arrange their aftermath in advance. Only those recruits who have not experienced the baptism of war are not impressed. The veterans are calm and the recruits are excited, creating a calm and slightly tense barracks atmosphere.

On the first day of the first lunar month, he couldn't sleep lazy, so Zhang Zhun got up early. New year, new atmosphere, new year, new beginning. For Zhang Zhun, a new beginning has a special meaning.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhun came to the port of Liujiabao with the snipers, and Li Jicheng was already waiting here. The Marines are also ready to go, except for the officers who are waiting for Zhang Zhun's arrival at the dock, the other soldiers are already settled on the ship and ready to leave. The task was given after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I have to go out on a mission, which does sound a bit cruel. However, in his previous life, when he was in the barracks, Zhang Zhun never had a plot for the New Year, so he naturally didn't care about all this. This makes the plot of the Tiger Benjun New Year relatively weak. During the Chinese New Year last year, the Tiger Ben Army also spent time in battle.

Seeing that all the work was ready, Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said awe-inspiringly: "Let's go." ”

Immediately boarded Li Jicheng's flagship, and by the way, greeted ordinary soldiers of the Marine Corps. Although they were about to set off on a mission on the first day of the new year, the soldiers of the Marine Corps looked pretty good. Such a chic New Year is probably something they have never encountered before.

The Great White Fleet was ready to set off, and after receiving the order to depart, it immediately hoisted its sails and slowly sailed out of the port. The officers and men of the Great White Fleet are also full of expectations for the first day of the Lunar New Year to set off on the mission. In the new year, they certainly can't afford to lag behind.

New year, new atmosphere, new year, the Great White Fleet is obviously more powerful. On the high mast, a large flag of the Tiger Ben Army was hung. The north wind is bleak, the red military flag is fluttering in the wind, the white side of the ship, swinging the blue sea, stirring up the white waves, red and white reflect each other, giving people a very strong sense of shock.

Near the port, a lot of people gathered early in the morning, and they all came to visit the Great White Fleet. However, it is a pity that they were given a short notice that the Great White Fleet will not accept tours today. As for the next few days, it is uncertain for the time being. This made the crowd of onlookers secretly speculate, what is the Great White Fleet going to do? It can't be that there is a naval battle somewhere, right?

What is the Great White Fleet going to do? Of course, I went on a mission. The first mission of the Great White Fleet in the New Year was not exclusively a combat mission. In fact, seriously speaking, the task is still very simple - Zhang Zhun wants to lead the Great White Fleet to visit Dagukou and visit the Tianjin Naval Division. Of course, to be precise, the word "access" should be put in double quotation marks.

The conflict between the Tianjin Navy Division and the Huben Navy was well known to both sides. The area of Bohai Bay is too small to accommodate the existence of two navies. Although the scope of control of Tianjin Sailor is constantly shrinking, it still makes Zhang Zhun feel unhappy. On the side of the couch, how can others snore and sleep, Zhang Zhun went to "visit" the Tianjin sailor on the first day of the new year, of course, it was the weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting - uneasy and kind. The new year and new atmosphere, specific to the body of the Tiger Ben Army Navy, is to first kill the Tianjin Navy Division.

For the dirty intentions of the imperial court, Zhang Zhun, who came through in later generations, is naturally well aware. For the three major legions of the imperial court, Zhang Zhun was not very worried. is only worried that the Tianjin sailor is making trouble behind his back. The great advantage of the Tiger Ben Army is that it is reflected on the sea. Without doing anything, he was ready to deal with the scourge of the Tianjin Navy Division before the imperial court took action, and monopolized Bohai Bay.

Without the Tianjin Naval Division, the Bohai Bay would be completely under the control of the Tiger Army and Navy. The warships of the Tiger Ben Navy only need a very small number to cruise here, and all the other warships can be transferred to other areas to deal with more complicated situations that may occur. When necessary, the navy can also transport the Tiger Ben army for sea-crossing operations.

Aren't you going to besiege Shandong? Then don't blame me for going ashore directly from Tianjin Wei and attacking the Jingshi at that time. If you dare to encircle and suppress me, I will dare to attack you to see who can stand up to whom. Of course, this is Zhang Zhun's inner thoughts, and others don't know for the time being.

"My lord, Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo may come from Tianjin Wei to reinforce them."

Li Jicheng cautiously reminded.

"Can the warship of the Tianjin Navy Division go ashore?"

Zhang Zhun said disappreciably.

The violent visit to the Tianjin Navy Division was actually a test of the bottom line of the imperial court. If the imperial court keeps retreating, it means that the imperial court is indeed brewing a huge conspiracy, trying to induce itself to relax its vigilance in order to annihilate itself in one fell swoop in the future. On the contrary, if the imperial court does not back down from its own attack, it means that the imperial court has not yet annihilated its own plan in one fell swoop. In addition, Zhang Zhun also wants to see what kind of reaction Wu Sangui, a little slippery head, will have.

If after repelling the Tartars, the imperial court concentrates all its troops to besiege the Tiger Ben army, the most likely to be the vanguard is Wu Sangui, this kid. Wu Sangui is currently stationed in Tianjinwei, which is the closest to the Tiger Ben Army. The imperial court wants to turn around and make a move, and the most suitable person to attack the Tiger Ben Army is Wu Sangui. For his 4,000 Liaodong cavalry, Zhang Zhun is still more concerned. After all, the time for the establishment of the cavalry of the Tiger Army is too short, and the combat effectiveness has not been fully formed, and if you want to face to face with the professional cavalry, it is not possible for the time being.

The north wind was all the way, and the sailing speed of the Great White Fleet was very slow, from the port of Liujiabao to the mouth of Dagu, it only took an hour for the tailwind, and it took four hours for the headwind. It was not until the afternoon of the first day of the new year that the Great White Fleet approached the mouth of Dagu. Probably because of the New Year, the whole bay was quiet, and there were no ships in sight, and certainly no people in sight.

"The people of the Tianjin Navy Division are too lax, and they don't even have a sentinel ship."

Li Jicheng held the clairvoyant mirror, observed the surrounding sea, and said with emotion.

Zhang Zhun also held a clairvoyant mirror and carefully looked at the nearby sea area. Indeed, the Great White Fleet was about to enter the mouth of Dagu, but there was still not a single sentinel ship of the Tianjin Navy Division. The level of lax vigilance is unprecedented. If the Tartars had a sailor, they would have landed here and landed directly into the Beijing Division.

Tianjin Naval Division may not have expected that the Great White Fleet would actually be dispatched on the first day of the new year. Throughout the ages, during the Spring Festival, there was generally no war. By doing so, Zhang Zhun really hit the soft underbelly of the Tianjin Naval Division. There are sentinel boats in Tianjin, but they have all withdrawn for the New Year.

"My lord, the Dagukou Fort is in front."

Li Jicheng cautiously reminded again.

"I'll see."

Zhang Zhun held the clairvoyant mirror and carefully looked at the Dagukou Fort.

In the second year of Yongle (1404 AD), after Chengzu Zhu Di built the capital of Beijing, he built a city and a guard in Tianjin, and built a pier and set up a cannon in Dagu Haikou. At the time of its strength, there were twenty or thirty artillery pieces in the Dagukou Fort, and there were 800 officers and soldiers stationed there. However, later, the imperial court continued to dismantle the Dagukou fort to save military spending. I don't know how many artillery pieces are there in front of the Dagukou Fort in front of me?

Zhang Zhun was in the clairvoyant mirror, and he didn't see the shadow of the Ming army on duty on the top of the Dagukou fort. Faintly, the presence of cannons can be seen. Overall, however, it does not pose much of a threat. Two hundred years ago, the artillery had very limited performance. Even the fully staffed Dagukou Fort was also not in Zhang Zhun's eyes.

"My lord, do you want to break in directly?"

Li Jicheng asked.

"Break."

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

"Ready to shoot!"

Li Jicheng hurriedly conveyed the order.

If you want to break through the Dagukou Fort, you must be prepared to shoot. At present, the Dagukou Fort looks like it is not on alert, but once the defenders find that the Dabai Fleet is approaching, they still have a chance to open fire. Once the defenders counterattack, the Great White Fleet will use artillery fire several times more fierce than the opponent to completely suppress the defenders' artillery fire.

The saber ships of the Great White Fleet all raised their gun windows one after another, pushed out the flying dragon cannons, and then slowly advanced towards the Dagukou Fort. Li Jicheng's worries soon became a reality. When the Great White Fleet approached the mouth of the Haihe River, it was indeed discovered.

The person who first discovered the Great White Fleet was actually the general of the Tianjin Naval Division. The Tianjin Navy Counselor's name is Qi Hainian, who relied on Liang Tingdong's relationship to climb up. On the first day of the first lunar month, he was taking his family to play around the fort, followed by a group of subordinates.

"What's that?"

Qi Hainian suddenly saw the Great White Fleet.

He hadn't actually seen the Great White Fleet with his own eyes, he had only heard about it, so he didn't react for a while. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, an inexplicable fleet appeared in the port, which made Qi Hainian subconsciously feel that he was in trouble.

"Good risk is...... Tiger Army Navy? ”

Someone next to him said nervously.

"Oops!"

"Great White Fleet!"

Qi Hainian is not a stupid person, and he reacted immediately.

Damn, the Great New Year, the Great White Fleet of the Tiger Army Navy actually broke into the mouth of the Haihe River! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been unbelievable. What good things can the Tiger Ben Navy have come at this time? Qi Hainian never thought that the damned Tiger Ben Army Navy would not even let go on the first day of the new year. So actively fighting, what is the Tiger Ben Army going to do?

"Inform the Dagukou Fort, the Tiger Ben Army Navy is coming, hurry up and open fire!"

Qi Hainian hurriedly shouted.

The person next to him hurriedly gave the order.

Qi Hainian also hurriedly left with his family.

The guard of the Dagukou Fort was a guerrilla. Last night's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he drank too much, drunk, and even when Qi Hainian arrived, he didn't bother to pay attention. The Dagukou Fort and the Tianjin Navy Division were not subordinate to each other. The jurisdiction of the fort actually belongs to the Tianjin Wei. It is precisely because he is a soldier of the guard, so Zhang Zhun guessed that this fort did not pay attention to it at all. The combat effectiveness of the guards is well known.

"What?"

"Tiger Navy?"

After receiving the report from his subordinates, the battery guerrillas were stunned.

Obediently long, what is the purpose of the Tiger Ben Army Navy to kill at this time? Shoot with guns? It is true that there is a fort at the mouth of Dagu, and there were indeed many cannons back then, but now...... In desperation, the guerrilla had no choice but to shout at all his subordinates.

"Get up!"

"Get up!"

"There's going to be a war!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was forcibly pulled out and prepared to fight, and many officers and soldiers scolded their mothers loudly and were unwilling to act. However, the guerrillas themselves were indeed in a hurry, so they simply carried a leather whip and went around to pick people up. Thanks to his efforts, the officers and men of the fort were finally pulled to the fort. However, after such a delay, the Great White Fleet was less than two hundred zhang away from the battery.

"!"

"It's really the Tiger Army's navy!"

"So many battleships! What do you want to do? ”

Seeing the Great White Fleet slowly sailing into the port, the defenders of the battery were stunned.

Everyone knows that those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming, it seems that the Tiger Ben Army and Navy are not here to congratulate the New Year! Twelve heavily armed warships, just by looking at it, make people feel a little numb in their scalps. They didn't know about the situation of the Dagukou Fort, it was purely to scare people, and it was useless to really start a war.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The guerrilla company shouted.

Even though it was winter, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. His back was also covered in cold sweat. He couldn't help but sweat. How many cannons there were in the Dagukou Fort, he himself knew very well. And how many guns the Great White Fleet of the Tiger Army Navy has, he can also estimate. That's not a grade at all! As long as the battery fires one shell, it will definitely attract dozens of shells to return fire. However, if you don't fight, you can't do it. Even if it's for a show, you have to shoot.

"Tom!"

A moment later, from the direction of the Dagukou Fort, there was a cannon sound.

The shells fell on the water near the Great White Fleet, splashing high columns of water.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

Then, several more cannon shots were heard.

All the shells fell around the Great White Fleet, splashing many columns of water.

"My lord, the Dagukou Fort has fired."

Li Jicheng said awe-inspiringly.

Zhang Zhun listened carefully and nodded thoughtfully. He could hear that the artillery of the Dagukou Fort was not at the same level as the Flying Dragon Cannon. It is believed that the number of artillery on the turret will not be very large. He said coldly: "It is estimated that there are only three to five guns on the fort, and the others are probably dismantled and sold, these moths!" Dare to sell anything! Shoot back! ”

"Yes!"

Li Jicheng solemnly agreed.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Moments later, the Great White Fleet launched its first salvo.

The cannonballs flying in the sky rained down around the Dagukou Fort, causing a series of screams. Just a round of artillery fire passed, and the Dagukou Fort immediately became dumb. There is no way, the number of cannons on both sides is not a grade at all. The number of cannons at Dagukou is less than a fraction of that of the Great White Fleet. As a result, the first round of shells fell, and the defenders on the battery were all stunned. With such heavy fire, what else are they fighting?

"Oh my God!"

"Damn it!"

"It's horrible!"

Qi Hainian saw all this in front of him, and couldn't help but scream.

As soon as the Great White Fleet opened fire, Qi Hainian felt that something was wrong. Such a fierce artillery fire can directly flatten the Dagukou Fort. The gang on the fort, what their combat effectiveness is, Qi Hainian also knows it. To say that the combat effectiveness of the Tianjin Navy Division has three points, the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the fort must not even be two points.

Qi Hainian was about to give an order to order the warships of the Tianjin Navy Division in the port to resist stubbornly. Even if the port is blocked, the Tianjin Navy Division can fire cannons inside the port to block the approach of the Great White Fleet. However, after witnessing the power of the Great White Fleet's artillery salvo, Qi Hainian decisively gave up this idea. He didn't want to kill himself.

In fact, it was not only Qi Hainian who witnessed the salvo of the Great White Fleet who also witnessed it. The other high-ranking officers of the Tianjin Naval Division, except for those who went back to Beijing to fool around, everyone else witnessed the might of the Great White Fleet. For a moment, they all looked at each other, their faces full of horror. The artillery fire of the Great White Fleet was too fierce. If the Tianjin Navy Division confronts the Great White Fleet, it will not be possible for the other side to fire a few salvos, and the warships of the Tianjin Navy Division will all be buried at the bottom of the sea.

No wonder Zhang Zhun was able to make waves in Bohai Bay, no wonder Chen Yaoyang was gone, it turned out that there was such a powerful fleet in the hands of the Tiger Ben Navy. It's incredible. Experienced people can judge that in the salvo of the Great White Fleet just now, almost 200 cannons were fired. Such a large number of cannons is simply amazing.

"Ceasefire!"

"Ceasefire!"

"Ceasefire!"

Qi Hainian hurriedly said.

In fact, without his orders, the Dagukou Fort would have ceased fire long ago. Everyone, including the guerrillas, fled from the battery. In fact, not all of the shells of the Tiger Ben Army fell on the top of the Dagukou Fort. However, in the face of such fierce artillery fire, the defenders of the Dagukou Fort were the first to waver. If they continue to stay where they are, they will only be killed, so where do they dare to continue to stay?

"Send someone to contact the Tiger Ben Navy and ask them what they are going to do!"

After Qi Hainian calmed down, he reluctantly ordered the people around him. You can't definitely fight, you can only negotiate with the Tiger Army and see what the Tiger Army is going to do? Nominally, the Tiger Army and the Tianjin Navy Division both belong to the same system, and the Tiger Army can't go too far.

However, the reply he received made him laugh and cry. Zhang Zhun said to the envoy of the Tianjin Navy Division in a serious manner: "The warships of the Tianjin Navy Division are very old, and I am ready to help you renovate them." Get out of the way, we're going to tow all the ships away. ”

After receiving Zhang Zhun's reply, Qi Hainian was speechless.

Help the Tianjin Navy renovate the warship? It's almost the same to let all the Tianjin sailors disarm!

Zhang Zhun is clearly going to completely wipe out the Tianjin Sailors. Without warships, what Tianjin Sailors are there? Without the Tianjin Water Division, Bohai Bay would be completely Zhang Zhun's world. No matter how incompetent Qi Hainian is, he can't agree to Zhang Zhun's rude request. However, before he could reply, the Great White Fleet had already forced its way into the port. The Tigerben Marines disembarked from the ship and took control of the perimeter of the harbor. All the warships of the Tianjin Naval Division, as well as all the officers and men, were monitored.

Qi Hai was covered with cold sweat, but he also had to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival on the dock. The other officers of the Tianjin Navy Division also have a heart of up and down, and they don't know what Zhang Zhun will do with them. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year! Zhang Zhun came to such a hand, it was really terrible!

Zhang Zhun looked very kind, and said with a smile: "General Qi, Happy New Year!" Dear colleagues of Tianjin Water Division, happy new year! Zhang Zhun has a New Year's greeting to everyone! ”

Qi Hainian had a wry smile on his face, and wanted to respond with a happy New Year, but he really couldn't say it. The weasel greets the chicken, and he is so hypocritical, Qi Hainian really can't get used to it. He simply discarded all greetings and politeness, and said bluntly: "Zhang Zhun, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Zhun looked at all the officers of the Tianjin Navy Division with a smile on his face, and replied harmlessly: "I said it, help renovate the warships of the Tianjin Navy Division." ”

Qi Hainian mustered up three points of courage, stiffened his head, and said bitterly: "The warship of the Tianjin Navy Division...... We'll renovate it ourselves, you have a heart. ”

Zhang Zhunpi said with a smile: "This is a rare opportunity, please think twice." ”

Qi Hainian said helplessly: "This ...... How do I explain it to the above? ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "I'll give you a receipt." ”

Qi Hainian almost fainted.

Receipt!

What do I want your receipt for?

Who knows, Zhang Zhun didn't look at his expression at all, and said lazily: "There must be no invoices, only receipts." ”

Qi Hainian didn't know what the invoice was, and wanted to say something, but he was embarrassed to say it. His gaze, more often than not, fell on the Tigerben Army Marines. He was weighing whether he had a chance to fight with Zhang Zhun in a bloody battle, turn the tide, and escape from death. But later, he found that he had no chance at all, so he had no choice but to give up.

Without waiting for Qi Hainian to say anything, Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said casually: "That's it!" It's not easy to come out for a big New Year, everyone cooperates and cooperates! The boat, I took it all with me! ”

Qi Hainian hurriedly said: "No......"

Zhang Zhun rolled his eyes and said coldly: "In the New Year, could it be that General Qi Shen must make a mess of corpses and rivers of blood?" Is this a consequence what General Qi wants, or what all the officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Navy Division want? ”

Qi Hainian could only smile helplessly.

The Great White Fleet of the Tiger Ben Army came prepared, and if it really fought, the Tianjin Navy Division would definitely suffer heavy casualties. On the first day of this new year, are there really corpses all over the field and rivers of blood? Those officers of the Tianjin Navy Division, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. In the New Year, they were severely blocked, and their hearts were indeed not very happy, but when they saw the muzzle of the black hole hole of the Tiger Ben Army, as well as the muzzle of the black hole hole of the Great White Fleet, they couldn't help but retreat.

It's not impossible to resist. But it seems that if they resist, they will suffer heavy casualties. All of their current range is within the range of the Great White Fleet's grape shells. Look at the artillery fire of the Great White Fleet, close to two hundred cannons fired a salvo of grapeshits, who can withstand it? During the New Year, corpses are everywhere and blood flows like rivers, so why bother?

Qi Hainian's face turned blue and white for a while, and he was at a loss. Tianjin Sailor was disarmed like this, of course he was unwilling, and he couldn't explain to his superiors. But did he dare to resist? If he dares to resist, the first one will be sent to hell by Zhang Zhun. He could feel at least twenty black holes with their guns pointed at him. As long as Zhang Zhun nodded, he would be beaten to pieces. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is really terrible to use knives and guns!

Zhang Zhun suddenly smiled and said with concern: "I've always heard that General Qi has some migraines and often faints, I don't know if it's better now?" ”

Qi Hainian's eyes straightened, and he scolded psychologically, I am in good health, when did I have a migraine? Curse me on the first day of the new year, you are too insidious. suddenly understood that Zhang Zhun was giving him the steps.

"Oops!"

"My Head ......"

Qi Hainian snorted, subconsciously stroked his forehead, moaned in pain, his face was pale, his eyes rolled, and then he fainted straight.

Of course, those with sharp eyes seemed to blink when they saw the general falling. However, if the general is unconscious, he is unconscious. He passed out at this time, which is good for everyone. The general was "unconscious", they could not get clear orders, they did not know how to deal with it, so they had to passively accept the reality.

As a result, the soldiers of the Huben Army Marine Corps boarded the ship, controlled all the warships of the Tianjin Naval Division, and prepared to tow them back to their own port for "renovation". In total, there were three No. 2 ships, five No. 3 ships, and other ships of various colors, a total of about fifteen. Because it was the New Year, all the warships of the Tianjin Navy Division were concentrated here.

Zhang Zhun chose to take the initiative to visit today, of course, he also liked this. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him. All the ships of the Tianjin Navy Division are here. After all these ships were fished out, the name of the Tianjin Navy Division still existed, but in the Bohai Bay, the warships of the Tianjin Navy Division would no longer be seen. This is the main purpose of his visit to Tianjin Weilai to congratulate the New Year.

"This is the New Year's money I gave to everyone."

"It's a small meaning, it's not a tribute, please laugh."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile, and then waved his hand in a dashing manner.

Gao Yu and Zhang Yin took out a huge box and placed it beside Qi Hainian, who had passed out in a coma, and then opened the box. In an instant, the silver taels of white flowers illuminated the eyes of the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Navy Division. Inside the chest, there were a total of one thousand and eighty-eight taels of silver.

This is the New Year's money that Zhang Zhun gave to the Tianjin Sailors. As the Governor, how can he not give a little New Year's money? You can't be stingy like that!
