Zhu Changyuan was moved by Princess Gulun, and to put it more accurately, he was moved by Princess Gulun's idea. According to her, attacking Phi Dao should not be a bad idea.

Geng Zhongming used to be a subordinate of Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, and he was proficient in naval warfare, and the sailors under his command were not comparable to the Fusang pirates entrenched on Riyue Island. He camped under the noses of others, monopolizing an island, in case one day someone was unhappy to attack, it was really hard to say whether he would win or lose.

In particular, these pirate devils may turn back at any time.

"Good! Good idea! Zhu Changyuan stroked his palms and praised, and said: "If you help me like this, aren't you afraid that your Ama will blame you for being an unfilial girl after you find out?" ”

Princess Gulun said: "Where can I help you, just let these Fusang devils of your country go to death, it doesn't hurt to tell you, there are not only Zheng He's treasure ships on Phi Island, but also red-clothed cannons." ”

"What, the redcoat cannon?" Zhu Changyuan was taken aback, he really hadn't seen this thing before, but it was said to be extremely powerful, and if a cannon hit the sea of people, a piece of people would turn into meat foam, "You Qingguo also have such a thing?" ”

In Zhu Changyuan's impression, only the Ming army seemed to be equipped with this kind of thing, when did the Qing Kingdom also have it, and suddenly thought that the Emperor Taiji soldiers had also let go of two cannons when they surrounded the Dalinghe military camp, but the effect was not very good, and even the concrete house built by Zhu Changyuan was not blown through.

"Cut!" Princess Gulun said: "Do you know why I, Amma, gave Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde the title of king? ”

Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde Chongzhen took refuge in the Qing Dynasty in six years, Chongzhen was divided into Huaishun King and Gongshun King by Huang Taiji in the ninth year, this matter had a great impact on the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changyuan naturally knew, and now listening to Princess Gulun asked, he said: "I naturally know, it is nothing more than to show your Qing mind, so that the world knows the times and takes refuge!" ”

Princess Gulun said: "What you said is naturally right, but it is not entirely true. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were originally subordinates of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, who were proficient in the art of gunpowder, and they were rare talents for our Great Qing Kingdom and my Amma, so they were very kind to them. ”

Zhu Changyuan only knew that these two were full traitors, but he didn't expect that they were real talents, so he said strangely: "They can still make cannons?" It's not easy! ”

Princess Gulun said: "These two people have never had a good reputation, but they are first-class talents, and those red-clothed cannons made for us in the Qing Dynasty are not as lethal as those used by the Ming army, but their lethality is also big enough." ”

"So, the thing that shot a few shots on the house above my head a few months ago was made by this guy, hehe, it's really good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the sky will let anyone go. I'll go back and sneak around scratching a few paws on this kid's back, and I'm famous. ”

I talked to Princess Gulun for a while, and then it was time to eat.

Dinner, followed by a meeting.

This meeting was no longer to discuss how to deal with the more than 3,000 pirates, but to discuss the specific plan and time for attacking Phi Dao.

Everyone was surprised, Zhu Changyuan explained directly, and said: "Don't guess, I have my reasons for doing this, these devils of Fusang Country will be a big disaster sooner or later, treat them as cannon fodder, and by the way, explore the way for us, which can be regarded as making the best use of things." We are not going to be convicted of massacre. ”

"There are about 3,700 pirate soldiers in total, how do you see how they are distributed, who will lead the team, and what are the difficulties at the moment?" Zhu Changyuan asked.

Chang Ning said: "I have also heard a little about this Phi Island, it used to be the garrison of Mao Wenlong, the commander of the Dongjiang River, although it is not a dangerous pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are many garrisons on it, there are about 10,000 people, all of whom are proficient in water warfare, and we may not be able to get benefits from this!" ”

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand: "There are too many Fusang devils, it's good to take them out to fight, if you win this battle, you will make a profit; If he is defeated, the devil will be consumed seven or eight out of ten, and even if there are eight hundred people left, there is no need to be afraid of bringing them back to Sun Moon Island. Of course, if it wins, it will be a miserable victory, and the current matter will be solved. ”

Zhu Changning's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea." He frowned a little and said: "There is only one bad place, this is the tiger whiskers of the big insect of Huang Taiji, I am afraid that Sun Moon Island will not be at peace in the future." ”

"If it's not peaceful, it's not peaceful, I'm still afraid that he won't be able to attack from a distance?" Zhu Changyuan looked indifferent, and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you don't have to take care of these, I will deal with it myself." ”

said this in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart: I had already caught someone's eldest daughter, and this tiger whisker had already been brushed, and it should only be earned if I brushed it again.

Everyone agrees with Zhu Changyuan's view that the attack on Phi Dao will be easy, and the next step is the specific deployment and arrangement.

First of all, the 3,700 Fusang pirate soldiers were divided into five regiments, each with seven or eight hundred men, each led by Zhu Changyuan, Po Lu, Ma Hai, Sun Erleng, and Li San, and first conducted training in the surrounding sea areas.

Last time, a lot of ships were burned in a fire, and even Zheng He's treasure ship was burned into a black plank, and now if you want to attack Phi Island, the ship is still a big problem, and Zhu Changning is responsible for buying it in the nearby sea area with Yinliang, whether it is a merchant ship or a pirate ship, and buys it at a high price.

Yan Hong stopped and said: "General, they are going to fight at sea one by one, why don't they have my share, I am a veteran from the Dongjiang River, and I am very familiar with the geographical environment there." ”

Zhu Changyuan said: "It's not that I won't send you, but the people in my hands are really not enough, and now I am about to plant autumn crops, and everyone in the family must be responsible, right?" ”

Yan Hong said: "General, I'm just a big boss, it's okay to go to the battlefield and kill two people, I don't understand what crops you let me plant." ”

The reason why Zhu Changyuan let Yan Hong guard at home was not that he really lacked a person to take care of the mechanical ploughing, but because he considered that Yan Hong was a little old, and he was already in his forties. Although this age is also in the prime of life, this age in ancient times is different from modern times, and people are already slightly old.

couldn't resist this guy, so he had to agree, and said, "Okay, you go too, I'll figure out how to do things at home." ”

Three days later, Zhu Changning bought four big ships, plus the four boats that Sun Moon Island originally had, which was just enough to take all the more than 3,000 devil soldiers with him, and the army made all preparations and set off in a mighty way.

This time, due to talent reasons, the team was not divided into five teams, but was organized into a corps, led by Zhu Changyuan, and his subordinates Yan Hong, Po Yu, Sun Erleng, and Ma Hai were responsible for the specific attack, and Li San patrolled and reconnoitred.

In this northern expedition across the sea, there was no backup, and there were no materials to transport the logistics troops. None of this is needed, because this time, I don't plan to bring these pirate devils back.
