Chapter 105 Dispatch of Troops

The sea shark Shatongwang, one of the three major pirate forces in the waters of Zhejiang, has him come to surrender, which is of great help to eliminate the two pirates and clear the sea area. Yue Su first rewarded Shatong Wang with a general, and as Lord Yue, he took the performance to the court of Yinting, which was nine out of ten and was a certainty. He then promised Sha Tongwang a lieutenant general, Sha Tongwang was very happy, don't look at it as a pirate, but also know some of the military generals of the Chaoyin Court, and being a deputy general is already a great position.

Yue Su further understood the strength of Shatongwang, who had more than 60 warships of all sizes, and his number was more than that of Yue's sailors. But this thing cannot only be judged by quantity, but also by quality, as if Kong Youde and Máo had the opportunity to deal with four English sea ships, but they returned with heavy casualties. However, Shatongwang also has a lot of Dutch and Spanish cannons, but compared with Lord Yue's equipment, they still have to check it. There were more than 2,000 pirates under his command, and Yue Su also gave them the status of officers and soldiers, and after making meritorious contributions, they were rewarded together.

Sha Tongwang appeared to be sincere, and then he offered Yue Su a plan to break the enemy. His proposition is to break them one by one, first eliminate the Qi Zitou, and then get out of the sea Jiao. Why do you want to type the prefix Qi first? The reason is that Sha Tongwang and the people at the head of Qi were a little contradictory back then, although the three families later formed an alliance, but in their bones, who didn't want to eat each other. The territory of Qi Zitou is also relatively close to the island where Sha Tongwang is located, but half a day of water, Sha Tong Wang said that he is willing to sneak attack Qi Zitou's territory in the morning after seven days, and when the two families are about the same, the Chaoyin Ting Naval Division will give reinforcements and wipe out Qi Zitou.

This is a good suggestion, and it can also show the sincerity of Sathorn Wang. Yue Su nodded, agreed, and could do things according to the plan, and encouraged him a lot, determined the specific battle policy, and finally personally sent Shatong Wang out of Mén.

After Sha Tongwang left, Yue Su held another military meeting to analyze Sha Tongwang's move, whether it was a real surrender or a fraudulent surrender. Jiang Jie believes that the level of Shatong Wang Zhen's surrender is relatively high, after all, what is the use of the Chaoyinting court's fraudulent surrender once, at most it will destroy a little more naval warships, and now the main force of the naval division is in Fujian, even if Zhejiang is really disabled, it doesn't matter, you dare to go ashore to rebel if you have the ability. But then, the Chaoyin court will mobilize heavy troops from Fujian to encircle and suppress, which will not be beneficial to Shatongwang, but will return to the Chaoyin court and help eliminate other pirates, which will be beneficial.

However, you can't be too gullible about Shatongwang's suggestion, you have to go, but you can't put all the main forces into it at once. Jiang Jie suggested that the troops should be divided into two routes, one for the front and the other for the rear, and if the signs are not right, at least a certain amount of strength can be preserved. Yue Su thought it was feasible, so like this, just wait for seven days later, and then see you later.

The matter of the Dragon Slaying Gang and the matter of the Yunkuo Inn is now temporarily over, and Yue Su personally led the army to the naval camp on the coast of Hangzhou. The losses of the sailors were investigated, and the sailors were condoled. Now, there are twenty-eight warships left, and twelve warships have been lost, how can Lord Yue not feel distressed.

Sun Chan and Peng Miao also came to the camp of the water division, and the two of them were cautious and did not mention the defeat at all, and the provincial Lord Yue was not happy. However, it is unknown whether Sun Chan secretly reported the defeat of the sailor to the Queen Mother, but Lord Yue didn't care, because yesterday, Yue Su had already gone to the Yin Court. It is clear that the sailors were hit hard by pirates and suffered heavy losses, but the existing pirates Shatong Wang took the initiative to surrender and accept the recruitment of the court Yinting, and was willing to abandon the darkness and help the court Yinting dàng to level the pirates along the coast of Zhejiang.

Yue Su Guangyin is clear, winning is winning, defeat is defeat, never concealing, unambiguous. The fold was issued, but when Chao Yinting saw it, it was estimated that the pirates in the waters of Zhejiang had been flattened by Lord Yue.

As the days go by, the days go by. There is only one day before the agreed time of Sathorn Wang. On this day, Yue Su convened a military meeting again. Conduct the battle on the cloth.

"Máo has seen, Peng Miao, and Sun Chan have listened to orders!" In the tent of the Chinese army, Yue Su came up and called the names of these three people.

Máo didn't care if he saw it, and was the first to stand up, "The end will be!" ”

The other two were different, as soon as they heard that they were pointed, they were nervous in their hearts, and they stood up with concerns, and they really didn't know what Lord Yue meant by calling them.

"Shatong Wang sincerely returned to obedience, and agreed to break the Haikou 'Qi Zitou' tomorrow, and the island where the Qi Zitou is located is called Bashan Island, according to which there is a one-day water journey, so tonight's third watch will set off in advance. The governor now ordered Máo Youjian and Peng Miao to be the vanguard of the left and right, and the superintendent of the army Sun Chan to supervise the formation, together with eighteen warships and 2,000 officers and soldiers of the naval division, to go to meet with Shatong Wang to suppress the bandits, and there must be no mistake. Remember, when Sha Tongwang and the pirate Jiāo of 'Qi Zitou' are in hand, you don't have to step forward to help immediately, and wait for the opportunity, and when you see that the two sides are almost consumed, you can step forward again! Yue Su finished his order and took out the arrow.

"The last general commands!" Seeing that he agreed, Máo took a few steps forward and received the arrow.

Although Máo and Peng Miao are both lieutenant generals, there is a difference between the left and right vanguards, and the left vanguard is half a block higher than the right vanguard, that is, when commanding the operation, once the two are together, the left vanguard will give orders.

As soon as Peng Miao and Sun Chan heard that they were allowed to fight with the army, they were still fighting at sea, and they almost didn't scare Niàokùzi. The sea jiāo soldiers are different from the Lu Yin battle, when Lu Yin fights, when the situation is not good, he can turn around and run away, but how to run in the sea battle? I met with Máo on the same boat, and Máo agreed to run, but if this kid didn't run, and his own prison couldn't be commanded, he couldn't get in together.

But the military order is like a mountain, how can the two refute it, if they don't want to accept the order, they will never dare, so they have to bite the bullet and shout "obey the order".

Zheng Zhilong was very dissatisfied with letting Máo see the troops, how could he not let himself go in such a war? If the sea shark really surrendered sincerely, this credit is simply given for nothing.

How could Yue Su not see Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, he then said: "Zheng Zhilong listens to orders!" ”

"The last general!" Zheng Zhilong hurriedly bowed out of the ranks.

"This governor orders you to lead the remaining ten warships, and the officers and men of the naval division are one thousand. I set off early this morning to pick up Máo Arimi. If Sha Thong Wang is sincere in surrendering, máo sees that the division takes the prefix of Qi lightly, you don't have to fight, just wait and see. If Sha Thong Wang is a fraudulent surrender and intends to destroy the sailor in one fell swoop, when Máo sees the retreat, you must respond with a good life, fight and retreat, and try to reduce the loss of the sailor! As the commander of the water master, you must protect the water master. Yue Su said earnestly.

"The last general obeys!"

There is also a reason for Yue Su's arrangement, he is not afraid that Zheng Zhilong will take the lead and get the credit, nor does he want Máo to take the lead and grab the credit, but there is another layer to take care of. Zheng Zhilong and Satong Wang are both pirates, although there is a saying that there is a way to be a thief, but there is also a saying that peers are like enemies. Both of them are pirates, how can Zheng Zhilong let the other pirates sit big, when the sea shark and Qi Zitou jiāo are in their hands, máo can achieve a bowl of water level, and can send troops to reinforce when the sea shark needs help the most, but Zheng Zhilong is not necessarily, it is not good to sit back and watch the sea shark be disabled, and then go to pick up a back leak.

Lord Yue also counted on the sea shark to balance Zheng Zhilong's power, and he also had to honor him to sweep away the pirates along the coast of Zhejiang, how could he be so unrighteous and crippled when he came up, if so, wouldn't it be chilling. It's okay to fight both defeats, you don't have to be so ruthless, you don't have to ask people to take half their lives.

Let Peng Miao and Sun Chan go out with the army, Yue Su also has ideas, and there is a good chance that he will win this battle. Let the two of you follow in the same boat, and also experience the military life, and after the victory, I will also give you a tribute, this love does not need you to really receive, but it is completely possible for the Queen Mother and the Manchu Dynasty to see, I Yue Su do things, I can do a bowl of water. Even if I come to watch me, I will be rewarded for my merits, and I will be punished for my mistakes.

After the arrangements were completed, he made a pre-war mobilization in front of the whole army, and he and Zheng Zhilong successively said some words to boost morale. At night, after a full meal of war meals, Máo Youjian, Peng Miao, and Sun Chan led the army to set off first at the third watch.

Máo saw that he led 2,000 soldiers, but the warships were exquisite, and Yue Su only gave him two of the five huge ships, one of which was made in England and the other was produced in Fujian. This giant ship is Yue Su's family background, and Yue Su doesn't want to cripple the old bottom. These eighteen warships, either English guns or Dutch and Spanish guns, are full of firepower, as long as the sea shark is sincere to surrender, this battle will be won, not missing one or two giant ships.

Máo's soldiers and horses set off first, and at dawn, Zheng Zhilong also led the fleet to set off and went straight to Bashanyu.

*****

Bashanyu, the nest of the pirate force Qi Zitou in the waters of Zhejiang. As one of the three major sea bandits in the waters of Zhejiang, Qi Zitou has this extremely strong combat effectiveness, with 80 large and small warships and more than 3,000 sea bandits, which is even higher than that of the sea shark.

In the area of Bashanyu, the wind has always been calm and quiet, and there have always been only merchant ships coming and going to the shore to worship, and no one has dared to be here for many years.

But today, 60 warships are speeding towards Bashanyu. As a pirate, it is inevitable to be vigilant, otherwise, it is easy to be eaten by your peers. When these warships were still hundreds of nautical miles away from Bashanyu, the outpost ships at the head of Qi had already discovered them.

They all eat on the same sea, they are still allies, who doesn't understand whom. Seeing that it was the person who made the sea shark poured out of the nest, the sentinel of Qi Zitou felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't believe that the sea shark would have the courage to attack Qi Zitou.

As soon as Qi Ao and Qi Biao, the two leaders of Qi Zitou, heard about this, they immediately ordered the preparation of the warship and sent a small boat over to carry out jiāo wading.

will be discovered by the people at the beginning of Qi, Sha Tongwang has foreseen it, and if he wants to succeed in a sneak attack, it will be very difficult. However, you can also hit the other party by surprise. When the small boat at the head of Qi came over, Shatong Wang Quan didn't see it, and continued to move forward at full speed, so he already told the other party that he had bad intentions.

Qi Zitou immediately sent a warship to intercept the robbery, after all, not everyone has boarded the warship yet, and some warships have not anchored. Sathorn Wang chose this opportunity and ordered the fleet to move on, with only a few warships to block the oncoming warships.

Pirates rely on ships, as long as they destroy one more warship of the other party, they have a chance of winning.
