Early morning dawn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sun on the horizon broke through the ten thousand fogs, and a glimmer of light appeared at first glance, and the white light of the fish belly became more and more dazzling, sprinkled on the sparkling sea, and the red light finally revealed its outline.

The world suddenly became clear, on the sea, countless ships have been derived to below the sea horizon, this dense ship with sails, the sails are marked eye-catching, and the sails are lined up like a line, and there is no end in sight.

On the Dingyuan, Li Fengxian, the governor of the naval division, took a telescope and looked at the land in front, the flagship of the naval governor was extremely large, equipped with five-leaf sails, more than 40 cannons, and the boulder of the ballast also weighed 10,000 catties.

The wide deck is enough to run horses, and Li Fengxian sat on the deck, under his ass was a Taishi chair, surrounded by military attaches and banner soldiers, put down the telescope, Li Fengxian's eyes narrowed, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”

"If you return to the governor, it's time to go."

Li Fengxian smiled coldly: "It seems that the Francois is not going to surrender." His hand was on his knee, his bronzed complexion was expressionless, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, and then said: "I am waiting for the order of the King of Chu to clear the pirates of the South Seas, and now since these Francois are unwilling to surrender, they can only move strong." Get ready to attack. ”

As soon as he gave the order, the flag bearers immediately began to move, sending flags to nearby ships, and the other ships that received the flags sent orders to ships farther away, and for a moment, the ships that stood still and let them drift on the sea began to move, and the sea was in a commotion, and all the half-lowered sails were raised, and the helmsman at the helm began to control the direction of the ship, and the gunners were ready, and the marines who were responsible for the charge also began to assemble, and the boats used for the charge were hoisted and put into the sea at any time.

The sailors shouted their trumpets naked, and at the same time, the ships began to move slowly, and the first seventy gunboats lined up, breaking away from the array and slowly sailing towards Puerto Isabella, the portside cut through the water, and the waves were rising, and the behemoths cast huge reflections on the sea, like a hideous sea beast, slowly squirming towards the target.

All the gunboats were ready, and when the harbor came into range, they crossed the ship first, facing the harbor, and then a series of guns stretched out the hull.

Li Fengxian did not move, an hour had passed, the sky was already abundant, the sentry ship in front had already sent news, and the Franc soldiers at the port were also making corresponding combat preparations, obviously...... They were going to put it back against it.

Li Fengxian's patience finally completely disappeared at this moment, and the order was finally given - attack!

"Woo ......"

The sound of the horn was heard, muffling the sound of the waves crashing against the sand and the hull of the ship, and then the cannon finally roared.

More than seventy gunboats had surrounded the salient of the bay, where the Franco-mechanics had set up a battery, but this kind of battery was good enough to deal with pirates, and it was a little too unseemly to deal with this huge fleet, and the gun was rusty, apparently unused for a long time, and it was a barrel forged more than ten years ago.

The Franji soldiers shrank in the fort one by one, holding their breath, and in their blue eyes, they saw the huge figures on the sea, so that most of them had ugly faces.

After the horn sounded, the sound of cannons was heard, and countless cannons spat out fiery snakes, and the batteries in the salient were immediately covered with cannon rain.

At the same time, the flat-bottomed assault boats used to land on the beach were lowered to the surface of the water, and the assault boats were densely packed with soldiers with firearms and bayonets, and each assault boat carried twenty-one people, with the squad officers holding swords in front, and the rest rowing oars towards the beach.

The dense assault boats covered the sky and the earth, like hens laying eggs, and there were as many as a thousand. But for the Franciscans, their biggest threat at the moment is the gunboats that are four or five feet high above the water, after a round of bombardment, they try to fight back, but they find that many of the old guns are not enough range, but some of the artillery replaced this year can barely cover it, but this is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, even if it occasionally hits, it will not be fatal to this huge ship.

On the side of the fort, it was already a mess, with corpses scattered everywhere and black smoke in potholes.

Li Fengxian, who was sitting on the deck watching the battle, paid attention to the battle situation, and when the countless assault boats approached the beach, he put down the telescope and said listlessly: "The battle has been decided, and the victory or defeat has been decided. ”

He stood up and stretched his waist, three minutes on the stage and ten years of work off the stage, don't look at this naval governor just sitting here, but in order to successfully capture this port, he and some staff and military attachés have studied tactics all night to ensure that this port can be captured with the lowest casualties, and now he is extremely tired, so he has no interest in watching the battle any more.

"Governor, what about those Francos?"

Someone can't help but ask.

Li Fengxian was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness has an edict before, if they are willing to surrender, then I will be wronged and have a debtor, and I will only punish the evil, and will not hurt the innocent, but if they resist stubbornly, then you don't have to be polite." ”

Li Fengxian paused: "Except for women and children, the rest of the people don't have to be polite." ”

"Yes!"

……

Lianzhou.

The contradictions have obviously intensified, almost all the vassal kings and envoys have been secretly linked, and things have reached this point, they have no way back, and the contradictions between the countries and the Chu State at this time are even far greater than the internal contradictions between the countries.

Led by Li Hui, the countries began to negotiate, and they were determined to take several measures, the first was to report to the Ming court and complain to the Ming court about their grievances, and the second was to unite and give the new king of Chu a dismount.

After three days, the king of Chu will set up a banquet in the palace to reward the envoys of various countries, and after everyone has discussed it secretly, they have already had an idea.

At this time, it was August, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the Nanyang people didn't feel anything, they had long been accustomed to this hot weather, but they felt a little uncomfortable with Liu Chengfeng from the Beijing Division, and he was dyed with some small feints these days, and his body was not very comfortable, so he did not participate in the meeting with the political axe in the morning.

However, the news of the foreign dynasty, Liu Chengfeng is always paying attention, these few wind comments and waves, even those vassal kings suddenly died down, Liu Chengfeng of course knows that this is the last calm, he is lying comfortably in the harem to recuperate his body, preparing for this banquet.

After this banquet, a new pattern will be born in the entire Nanyang, which will have a great impact on the Chu State and the large and small countries in the Nanyangs.

Although on the couch, Li Dongdong occasionally came to chat with Liu Chengfeng, discussing some detailed rules, Li Dongdong seemed a little worried, now the development of Lianzhou has reached a bottleneck, whether Chu can break through this bottleneck depends on this banquet.

Where is it so easy to make people compliant? What the Chu State needs is the lifeblood of all countries, and people will easily give it away?

Liu Chengfeng actually doesn't have much confidence in himself, when he is lying on the sickbed, he sometimes suddenly thinks of some ideas, and then immediately orders someone to issue a secret edict to let people prepare, no matter what, all the strength that should be done has been exhausted, and whether it can succeed depends on this banquet.

August 19.

There is a banquet in the palace, at this time, the door of the Zhennan Palace of the Chu State is wide open, and there are many ordinary vassal palaces, such as the Gyeongbokgung Palace in North Korea, such as the Longevity Palace of Annam, but the palace name of the Chu State is taken from the word Zhennan, and the intention is obvious, in short, many vassal states are not very comfortable listening to it.

It's just that the country of Chu is rich, although the land is small, but it is not good at stubble, and there is a behemoth like the Ming Dynasty, although the countries are dissatisfied, they dare not show it on their faces.

Early in the morning, the officials had already entered the palace, and everyone had first seen Liu Chengfeng, who asked some government affairs in the silver palace with vigor and spirit, and then invited the envoys of various countries and the vassal kings to enter the palace.

In the silver hall, there has been a meal table, the meal table has not yet served wine and food, but there are a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits, the vassal kings of various countries are seated, the rest of the envoys and the officials of the Chu State are sitting with the head, Liu Chengfeng naturally stood on the silver case and did not come down.

At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite kind, Annan King Li Hui also gave Liu Chengfeng face, and gave Liu Chengfeng a salute, Liu Chengfeng is the vassal king, he is also the vassal king, all of them have been canonized by the golden canonization, it stands to reason that Li Hui should not give Liu Chengfeng a salute, his salute shows an attitude, Annan is willing to be under the Chu State, and the Chu State is the head of the horse.

This is a very kind move, but although Liu Chengfeng has a smile on his face, there is a trace of coldness in his deep eyes.

In his opinion, Li Hui's subtext is that Annan can make a regression, that is, to be below the Chu State, but the Chu State should not think about anything else, this is the final bottom line of the Annan State.

Liu Chengfeng is quite good at doing business, so there is also a bit of a businessman's surname in the surname, he doesn't care about the glamour on this face, what he really cares about is the real benefits, there are no real benefits, even if people respect themselves as the emperor, what is the point?

But now that the banquet has just begun, Liu Chengfeng is not in a hurry, he knows in his heart that the show has just begun, and these vassal kings and envoys will be impatient sooner or later.
