"The Woko are here! Run away, everyone! ......Not many years have passed since the Japanese Rebellion, and the huge fleet of ships and complicated styles that are now appearing at the mouth of the Yangtze River has once again evoked terrifying memories among people. Everywhere the fleet went, chickens flew and dogs jumped, chaos abounded, and the people fled in panic.

The first to see the fleet was the Baoshan Institute. The guard was an old man who had experienced the Japanese rebellion, and he still had some experience, so he immediately ordered to gather manpower, close the walled gate, and everyone went to the walled wall to defend. The other side sent a messenger to report to Songjiang Prefecture on a fast horse. Hide in your home, lock the door, and take your family to burn incense and worship the Buddha in front of the Buddha statue, praying for the Buddha's blessing.

After receiving the news, all the adults in Songjiang Prefecture immediately took the opportunity and took the same measures as the guards of Baoshan: immediately ordered to gather men, close the city gate, and everyone went to the city wall to defend. On the other side, a messenger was sent to report to the Nanjing court. Hide in your home, lock the door, and take your family to burn incense and worship the Buddha in front of the Buddha statue, praying for the Buddha's blessing.

The fleet did not care, and under the guidance of the guide, entered the Yangtze River and went up the river to Nanjing. The cities and guards that pass along the way are cleared and guarded tightly, and they are strictly guarded.

After the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty, the three-masted ships were basically completely banned, and the two-masted ships were not allowed to be built in the strictest period, and the tonnage of the main warships at the end of the Ming Dynasty was less than 400 tons. Of course, the sea merchants and pirates in the south of Fuguang basically ignored the sea ban and secretly built many brigs.

At present, in the fleet, the smallest liaison ship "Haiyan" is 1,500 materials, that is, 450 tons, which is larger than the largest warship of the Daming Naval Division, and even the servant ships are more than 1,000 materials, which are comparable to the largest warships of the Naval Division. In the face of such a powerful opponent, the Jiangnan Navy Division did not even have the courage to fight.

When the news reached Nanjing, the Nanjing court was in chaos. In those years, the Japanese invaders wantonly burned, killed, and looted along the coasts of Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, killing hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, seriously undermining the development of the social productive forces and threatening the safety of people's lives and property along the southeastern coast. All kinds of those years are vivid. Now that traitors and lake bandits are still raging, and the Japanese are coming, how should this be?

Moreover, in order to make no excuse for their stubbornness, the guards exaggerated the fleet several times. Now the report that has been summarized has arrived: there are 100 Ruyue giant ships, all of which carry dozens of Hongyi cannons, and the rest of the ships of all sizes are not counted, and there are countless guns on board. The Japanese warriors, with their helmets and armor, stand by the side of the ship, and they are innumerable......

People from all walks of life panicked and came to the Nanjing garrison one after another to discuss countermeasures. The Ming Dynasty Nanjing garrison officials came from the three systems of internal ministers, military ministers and civil ministers, and were composed of several people in the inner garrison (the eunuch guarding the town), one person in the outer garrison (Xungui Wuchen, generally the Xu family), one person in the coordinated garrison (Xungui Wuchen), and one counselor (concurrently serving as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department), which was the highest authority in Nanjing. In this article, the eunuch is Wang Angang who took over, and the outer guard is Xu Bangrui, the eighth Duke of Wei (who will be hung up next year, and his son Xu Weizhi will be the lord), and the counselor is a soy sauce.

Above the court, the prince's heart is cool and cool. After the death of Master Feng Bao, he was not treated by the emperor and was put aside. Now he finally got the recommendation of his good friend Chen Ju and served as the eunuch of Nanjing. Although it was a lot of pressure to suppress the traitors and lake bandits, I still felt that I could handle it. But now the huge fleet of the Japanese is going to attack Nanjing! Isn't this asking for your own life?!

Xu Bangrui's heart is also bad, he is not in good health, and he has already stepped into the coffin with one leg, why is it that the widow is not alive, and it is here again at this time? Do you want to drink some Heding Red now, the taste is first-class Awesome Gine!

Playing soy sauce Jun is an old fox, his brain is still lively, and he thought of a question: "Colleagues, hasn't this Dongying been beaten by Liaoning without leaving a piece of sail and surrendering to the court?" And this is what Wang Gebu and Gonggong Chen saw with their own eyes, there is no doubt about it. Now that there is a Japanese fleet, could it be that there is something wrong? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the two of them reacted just now. Oh, yes! It is certain that Dongying will be disabled, so who is this fleet now?

was hesitating, Xishuiguan reported, and the unknown fleet appeared on the surface of the swallow rock. However, the fleet was not as terrifying as previously reported, there were only two giant ships, nine other ships larger than the largest warship of the naval division, and more than 20 other ships with more than 1,000 materials. All ships have Ming style, Western style, and Dongying style. But the most important thing is that all the ships are flying the Great Tomorrow Sun and Moon Flag!

Hearing this, everyone's hearts calmed down a little. However, where is the sacred, there is such a huge fleet, and there are more than 30 ships of more than a thousand materials. Now that you have the bottom in your heart, everyone's courage comes out. Xu Weizhi was still young, enthusiastic, and volunteered to go out for a while to meet this sacred fleet of unknown places.

But he dared to go out, and no one in the Nanjing garrison dared to row out with him! Under the heavy money, there will be brave men! After adding the bounty to five taels of silver, he finally gathered a boatload of sailors to send Xu Weizhi out.

Xu Weizhi stood at the bow of the ship, with gold and silver armor, majestic. It's just that the closer I get to the fleet, the lower the mood becomes, and the difference in size between the two ships is too great.

Finally, at a distance of 500 steps from the fleet, Xu Weizhi's lucky ship was stopped by a Western-style ship estimated to have 1,500 materials. Looking at the cannon muzzle on the other ship, which was bigger than the mouth of the bowl, the legs of the Nanjing sailors were trembling.

What stopped Xu Weizhi was the "Haiyan" liaison ship, a standard clipper type with a displacement of 1,500 materials, that is, 450 tons. The ship carried six 5-inch (not inches, but new scales, 1 inch = 25mm, 5 inches = 125mm) guns and carried 60 people. Compared with Xiao Xu's 500 material fortune boat, it is not one or two points higher.

After all, Xiao Xu was born in a martial arts family, so he bracked himself up and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?!" ”

On the opposite side, a military general who was about the same size and age as Xiao Xu replied loudly: "Lord Li Sijin, who is involved in the politics of the East China Sea Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, led the sea patrol fleet to patrol through Nanjing, and met with Father-in-law Chen Ju on behalf of Beijing, and visited Father-in-law Wang An!" Which general is on the other side?! ”

The fleet was received in Tanggu, and it was the imperial court that rewarded the entire Liaoning because of the victory in the Battle of Dongying, and everyone was rewarded. In addition, a decree was issued to establish the Governor's Office of the East China Sea, which was subordinate to Liaoning, Yongzhen East China Sea, and stationed in Busan and Tsushima. The governor of the East China Sea was Li Sigong, a civil official from the third rank and a second-rank general soldier of the Liaoning Naval Division. Li Sijin participated in politics from the fourth grade, and at the same time served as the deputy general of the third grade of the Liaoning Navy Division. The main reason for the clerical post was that the Ming Dynasty was noble and lowly, which was convenient for communication with mainland officials. The report from Beijing about the establishment of the Governor's Mansion in the East China Sea had not yet been delivered to Nanjing, and the fleet arrived first.

Knowing that the opposite side was also the Ming army, Xiao Xu's heart was completely relaxed. Climbed on the "Haiyan" and was sent to the "Ao Run". I met with Li Sijin, inspected the holy decree, the confession, and the official seal, confessed to Li Sijin, and hurriedly reported to my father and the adults.

When the adults in the city heard this, they put their hearts at ease, and scolded the vastly exaggerated guards and the prefectures along the river, and hurriedly went out to list the people, telling everyone that it was the naval division of the vassal who passed through Nanjing. What a thing! Is it just a door-to-door visit, do you need to make such a fuss? Unorthodox! Wang Gonggong is very happy: he is a newcomer, and the local snakes in Nanjing do not bird themselves. Now it's okay, Brother Ju, a good friend, sent an army of sailors to cheer him on, look at your shameless face!

No one will mention that the fleet from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Yanziji has unimpeded passage all the way, and if the other party really wants to make a move, Nanjing will be finished!
