Chapter 439: Tianjin Wei

Zhang Chu's security army fought another battle with the Houjin people on the front line of Korea, which made the Houjin realize that it was not easy to defeat the security army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Houjin people unwillingly retreated to their own territory, Zhang Chu knew that he had been stretched for a long time now, and the security army was not capable of launching an attack on the Houjin people.

Both sides are gathering strength in preparation for the next life-and-death struggle. The entire Tohoku region has calmed down.

Zhang Chu is an idle person, and he has even bigger plans to implement. The land calmed down, and Zhang Chu set his eyes on the sea again. As a traverser who will always remember being opened by strong ships and cannons, Zhang Chu will never forget the construction of the navy. The reconquest of large areas of the northeast and the control of the Korean ethnic group allowed Zhang Chu to have more high-quality timber.

Not only the shipyard in Weihai, Shandong Province was able to rush to work day and night to step up production. The new shipyard established in Lushun Zhang Chu also started production under the guidance of masters and skilled workers transferred by Zhang Chu.

The first to be launched were all kinds of small warships, although the tonnage was small, and with the guns of the security forces, there was no one to match in China's coastal waters. Zhang Chu looked at the newly formed fleet and felt that he was really sorry for not going out to show off such a good fleet.

The main fleet of the Security Forces, led by the Caiyun as the flagship, led by four sail warships, began to visit various ports in the Bohai Sea. During the trip, the small group of pirates in the Bohai Bay was swept away, and the pirates were extremely shocked when they looked at the huge fleet led by Zhang Chu, is this government crazy, how much does it cost to send such a large fleet for pirates with only a few small sampans. Where Zhang Chu's fleet passed, the pirates were left with only surrender.

It's not fun to beat the pirate Zhang Chu, and he wants to take care of all the ships in Bohai Bay. Zhang Chu ordered the fleet to send ships to patrol the main channel and collect taxes on passing ships.

The soldiers of the security army went even further in carrying out Zhang Chu's order, directly getting the warships to the entrances and exits of various ports, inspecting them one by one, and collecting taxes one by one. The Ming officers and soldiers in the port looked at their small boats, and then looked at the black holes on the security warships, and could only endure this breath. In his heart, he secretly scolded Zhang Chu, who was born as a thief, was too good at robbing money, and his hand was too long, and he didn't talk about the rules of officialdom at all. Of course, what they are best at is to find their own backers to go to the court to sue Zhang Chu.

Now what Zhang Chu is most afraid of is that someone sues him in front of the emperor, and the emperor's hand can't reach Liaodong at all. Even Emperor Chongzhen understood that relying on a holy decree alone would not be able to put it on the table. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen can only pretend to turn a blind eye to a large number of impeachments of Zhang Chu.

Even so, Zhang Chu was still not satisfied, and he aimed at the port of Tianjin Wei again.

The soldiers of Tianjin Wei felt much more relaxed these days, and Zhang Chu recovered Lushun, which greatly reduced the possibility of the Later Jin people attacking Tianjin by water, and Tianjin finally did not have to tense his nerves every day to prepare for war.

But on this day, the soldier in charge of the lookout sounded the alarm, and everyone's nerves became tense again, and they all looked at the guard post on the high place.

The guard post used flags to tell everyone that a huge fleet of large ships was heading for the port of Tianjin.

The big ship, the big fleet, this big thing got together, and everyone looked at the sea in the distance to see how big the big ship really was. How many ships does this fleet have? At the same time, everyone is also worried, I don't know if it is a friend or foe, it is the fleet of the Houjin people, so hurry up and find a way to escape. Few people thought they could withstand the attacks of the Houjin, both on land and in the water.

Fortunately, sharp-eyed people saw the Ming flag fluttering on the ship, and everyone was relieved. The soldiers of the Tianjin Guard were responsible for guarding the place, and even the Ming fleet could not easily enter the port, so the officials sent small boats to inquire about the situation and prevent the ships from entering the port.

The security fleet's fleet got closer and closer, revealing his massive stature. Originally, the ship that watched the sea from a distance did not seem very huge, but after approaching, it was compared with the small boat of the Tianjin Guardhouse that it showed the majesty of the hull.

"I don't know which adult's team is coming, what is the important thing to come to Tianjin Port?" The soldier of the guard asked cautiously.

"We are a security army from the northeast, and our marshal has received information that the Houjin people are preparing to attack Tianjin Wei by water, and we are here to reinforce." The ship's security guard replied solemnly.

"Do you have any documents for the transfer of troops from the military department, and I can also go back to our commander." As soon as the soldiers of the guard station heard that the matter was important, they would definitely not be able to be the masters, so it was better to raise the command and envoy to the lord.

"You don't deserve to read the paperwork, let your commander come in person." The security guard's answer was not at all polite.

"Then please stop the ship for the time being, and wait for me to give instructions to guide you into the harbor."

"The military situation is urgent, it's not urgent, go tell the old and young masters in the port, avoid it, if there is any obstacle to our entry into the port, don't worry."

The soldiers of the guard post looked at the black holes of the guns on the security warships and the rows of security soldiers holding muskets on the deck, and understood that now was not the time to be reasonable, and at this time they could only see who had the strength of their arms.

The soldiers of the guard did not dare to delay, and hurriedly rowed back to the port, preparing to report to the supreme leader of the Tianjin Wei commanding envoy.

Without a moment's pause, the security fleet headed straight for the docks in the harbor. The guards who were in charge of guarding the harbor were a little confused, and the officers present did not give an order as to whether to block or let the approaching fleet go. On the one hand, because the security army is under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and more importantly, in terms of the size of the ships and the number of ships, this is a very powerful fleet, and they can't stop it at all.

Several transport ships docked, and the security forces on board quickly abandoned the ships and landed on board, rushing to targets that might pose a threat to the security fleet. The battleships on the sea also opened their gun windows, ready to enter the battle state at any time.

Seeing this, the guards in the harbor did not dare to take action. By the time Xu Zhong, the commander of the Tianjin Guard, led his own soldiers to the port, the security army even transported artillery to the dock, and thousands of security troops had already landed, and the soldiers of the guard were pointed at by the security army with guns and gathered together.

Originally, the command of Tianjin Wei made Xu Zhong's heart full of anger, how could there be such reinforcements, there was no order from his superiors, he didn't see the documents for the transfer of troops, and he also took care of the original defenders, but when he saw the military appearance of the security army in the port and the warships covering the sea, he changed his mind and became calm.

"Where's your manager? I'd like to pay a visit. Xu Zhong put down his shelf and said politely to a person who looked like a security army officer.

"Our commander is on the ship, and you want to see that we can send a small boat to send you there." The security officer said, pointing to the Caiyun on the sea.

"Okay, I'll go over." Xu Zhong replied stubbornly, no matter what, he had to figure out what this army wanted to do. (To be continued.) )
