Chapter 1362: The Governor of the Water Army

readx; At noon the next day, dozens of warships lined up on the Yangtze River north of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi, and almost blocked the entire surface of the river, which was only two miles wide. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoEach ship is a flag, and the flags of various colors have different purposes, except for the apricot yellow flag hanging at the top of the mast, on which a white lotus flower is embroidered with silver thread. The white lotus has always given people the feeling of "coming out of the mud without staining", but this large lotus flag of white flowers seems to exude a strange and evil atmosphere all the time. Gedai shakes the square and runs high

At this time, the north wind was tight and the river was turbulent, and the sailors on the ship needed to keep stepping on the pulp in order to keep the entire fleet roughly in formation. Many people secretly scolded in their hearts: Our Metropolitan Governor is really full, and he talks about strict prevention all day long, not to mention the boat on this big river, there is not even a ghost shadow, I don't know who is guarding against it!

However, on the central flagship's ship, the commander of the fleet, which was completely controlled by the White Lotus Sect, was worried, dissatisfied with and helpless with all kinds of laxity and underestimation of the enemy under his hands. He is Gu Junen, who used to be the confidant of King Gao Yingxiang, but in fact, his true identity is one of the "Eight King Kongs" of the White Lotus Sect, and he is an eyeliner placed by the White Lotus Sect Leader next to Gao Yingxiang. The original intention of the White Lotus Sect Leader was to let Gu Junen find a suitable opportunity to assassinate Gao Yingxiang, and then take over the huge army of thieves, but he didn't expect Gao Yingxiang to be wiped out in Caolianling, and it was meaningless for Gu Junen to lurk anymore, so he simply "sold" Gao Yingxiang to Zhang Er and Huang Long, and he faked the military order and pulled away the tens of thousands of thieves who stayed in the Hanzhong area. Pig's heart is determined

Dingpi Nick Moist Running Noodles has made such a great achievement, and the White Lotus Sect Leader has a high opinion of Gu Junen. In the past, Gu Junen could only rank last in the "Eight King Kongs", but Qi Youkun and Huang Zhicheng, who were the oldest qualified, were dead, and Gu Junen knew how to lead troops to fight, and he could no longer find such a person in the sect, so the White Lotus Sect Leader named him the "Governor of the Water Army" and let him take charge of his "trump card" Poyang Lake Water Army.

However, unlike the White Lotus Sect Master's judgment of the situation, Gu Junen was deeply jealous of the strength of the official army. The reason is also very simple, he has personally seen the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers under Sun Chuanting, and to put it mildly, his life was picked up. The sect leader thought that he had the advantage of a naval army and could also make bird guns, and he also stole the process of making grenades from Jingshi, but Gu Junen knew very well that their bird guns and hand grenades were too far from the officers and soldiers in terms of quantity and quality, and they were simply vulnerable in actual combat. Set the amount of Xiao Run

At this point, Poyang Lake, which has been calm for more than 200 years, has once again ushered in a large-scale water war!

Dingdai Nickname Runliang praised Gu Junen and followed Gu Junen to the sect leader to mention his worries, but the sect leader was stubborn and self-serving, and he just said a few words, which made the sect leader unhappy, and asked him not to overestimate the strength of the officials and troops and destroy the prestige of his own people. Gu Junen knew the sect leader's ruthless methods, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything like that anymore. I thought that if I really wanted to fight, I had to take people to put them on the top, and then I would resign myself to fate.

Even if it was the sect leader's proud sailor, Gu Junen was also not at ease. Although with the careful manufacture of a large number of shipwrights, these warships are good in terms of quantity and performance, according to the sect leader, they can be compared with the fleet of Emperor Taizu or Chen Youliang back then, but now is not that era, the officers and soldiers, especially the Qin soldiers, in the past few years of operations, new weapons have emerged one after another, who dares to keep the water army has not made the slightest progress? Substitute centering and giving Xiao Fangyun

Ge Pi shook Fang Ding Shi Runti Gu Junen is a relatively strategic person. Previously, he had proposed to the sect leader that if he could unite with the Zheng clan in Fujian, let the Zheng clan defect to join him, and then block the mouth of the Yangtze River, so that the entire Yangtze River would be under control. The sect leader did adopt his strategy and secretly contacted Zheng Zhilong.

However, Zheng Zhilong is a generation of heroes, he was born as a pirate, has a strong army, dominates the sea, and even the Spaniards and Dutch are unwilling to provoke him, how can such a person be easily impressed by a few words? Measure the amount of eye-shaking and light running fruit

Pi Dai Xin Run, Pi Zan Runguo, Zheng Zhilong is also very cunning, what loyalty and patriotism are all bullshit in his opinion, only actual interests are the most important. He proposed to the White Lotus Sect Leader that it was okay to surrender, but Zhu Yousong must immediately crown him the king of Zhennan and let him govern the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, as well as the Penghu Islands in Taiwan.

At this time, the north wind was tight and the river was turbulent, and the sailors on the ship needed to keep stepping on the pulp in order to keep the whole fleet roughly in formation. Many people secretly scolded in their hearts: Our Metropolitan Governor is really full, and he talks about strict prevention all day long, not to mention the boat on this big river, there is not even a ghost shadow, I don't know who is guarding against it!

This appetite is also too great, you must know that the original plan of the White Lotus Sect Master was to divide the river with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if the three provinces were assigned to Zheng Zhilong, then there would be nothing left for him. The two sides have had secret talks many times, but they have not reached an agreement so far, and Zheng Zhilong's fleet is of course impossible to blockade the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is determined to tease and run on behalf of Gao Fangyun

In this case, Gu Junen strongly advised the sect leader not to rush to attack Nanjing, and to wait for the south wind to blow in the spring, and the fleet was more numerous, more skilled, and more prepared. He was now the leader of the sect, and the leader adopted his advice, so the main force of the rebels was still camped in Poyang Lake, and only a small number of troops were sent to occupy Anqing as a buffer against the sneak attack of the official army.

It stands to reason that Gu Junen's deployment is very cautious, but he didn't expect that a few days ago, some officers and soldiers mixed into the Poyang Lake Shipyard to make a big fuss, not only burned many battleships that were about to be completed, but also robbed Shen Lang, the shipbuilder with the most superb shipbuilding skills, along with the treasure ship drawings. When the sect leader heard the news, he hurried from Yueyang, searched for spies but found nothing, scolded Gu Junen in anger, and urged him to enter the army quickly. But at this time, the north wind was tight, and it was very unfavorable to sail against the wind, so Gu Junen had to endure the humiliation and persuasion. In the end, the sect leader left a sentence: Give you another ten days to prepare, if you don't enter the army, you will be dealt with according to the canon! Running on behalf of the heart and the light of the fruit

Dingpi Nickname Gao Run Ti Gu Junen had no choice but to prepare military supplies day and night, and step up the exercise of the navy. Unfortunately, although the battleship is good, the sailors and sailors cannot be cultivated overnight. Although there are tens of thousands of sailors under his command, at least half of them are peasants who have just been brought in, and the rest are White Lotus cultists and thieves, and the elite troops who are proficient in water warfare are thousands of people, and if they are divided into hundreds of warships, they can also be divided into a dozen or so people on each ship, and the rest need to be strictly trained.

But the sect leader didn't give him so much time, and Gu Junen had no choice but to catch the ducks on the shelves. In five days, he will be ready to swing east, and today is in the final training session. Unexpectedly, he couldn't line up on the river, and the training attitude of the soldiers was not serious, so he was so angry that he stared dryly, but there was nothing he could do. Gepi heart square praising the face

Ge Pi Xin Fang Pi praised the face and made such a great achievement, and the White Lotus Sect Leader looked up to Gu Junen even more highly. In the past, Gu Junen could only rank last in the "Eight King Kongs", but Qi Youkun and Huang Zhicheng, who were the oldest qualified, were dead, and Gu Junen knew how to lead troops to fight, and he could no longer find such a person in the sect, so the White Lotus Sect Leader named him the "Governor of the Water Army" and let him take charge of his "trump card" Poyang Lake Water Army.

When he was in a hurry to catch fire, the lookout post on the hill on the side of the river suddenly made an urgent report: "Governor, a fleet has come downstream, about fifteen miles from the mouth of the lake!" ā€

"What!" Gu Junen was taken aback, although he did not dare to underestimate the strength of the official army, he definitely did not expect that the official army would dare to attack the mouth of the lake where his heavy troops were stationed, so he quickly abandoned the boat and landed on the shore and went to the mountain to look out in person. The price of the moisturizing amount is moisturizing

By the time he reached the top of the mountain, the fleet was less than ten miles away from the mouth of the lake. Gu Junen took a closer look, and saw that there were about twenty ships in this fleet, judging from the size of the ships, except for the larger one at the head, some of the back were similar to his main battleships, and some were not as good. I thought that the officers and soldiers were no matter how powerful they were, but there were too few ships. Water warfare is more about whose ship is more, whose ship is taller and bigger, and whose archers and bird gunners are more, and Gu Junen has absolute confidence in this regard. He immediately ordered: "The herald, the battleships in the Yangtze River are divided into three routes: left, center, and right, the middle road blocks the enemy ships, and the left and right roads outflank and cut off the enemy's retreat; In addition, the battleships in Poyang Lake will be sent to reinforce the enemy's fleet! ā€

At this point, Poyang Lake, which has been calm for more than 200 years, has once again ushered in a large-scale water war! Generations of teasing and running and praising and running fruits
