Chapter 641: Thorn Pulling
A look of surprise suddenly flashed on the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he glanced back at Xu Guangqi, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, where is this shooting?" ”
Hearing the gunshot, Xu Guangqi was also stunned, but Song Yingxing on the side knew what was going on. Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Xu Guangqi, he hurriedly walked to Xu Guangqi's side and whispered in his ear.
"Your Majesty, the sound of gunfire came from the firearms superintendent, Bi Maokang has been trying to make a new musket in the past few days, and this gunfire should be the sound of an experiment." Xu Guangqi wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was okay if Bi Maokang didn't come to pick up the car, but he didn't expect that when the Emperor of the Apocalypse came, he actually made a gunshot.
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Bi Aiqing actually made such a discovery?" It's really not easy, take me to see it! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi saw that the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse had not changed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please go this way." ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse inspected the firearms factory, the battle for landing on Penghu Island finally began!
Qi Jiguang stood on the bow of the ship, with a serious expression on his face, turned around and ordered: "All the warships are moving forward at full speed, pay attention to dodging the shells, we must rush forward in the shortest time!" ”
Yu Zhigao in the back also had an excited look on his face, and commanded loudly: "Concentrate all the artillery fire, bombard their beach batteries for me, don't be afraid to waste shells!" ”
The battle soon began, it was a battle with no suspense, and it lasted less than two hours before the battle was over. There were no more warships in Penghu, and the remaining ships were sunk in the bay before they could start. Because there was no one to command, although there was resistance on the shore, it was not too fierce.
When Yu Shigao set foot on Penghu Island, the resistance had been cleared, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the Ming army had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
"General, General. I have a message! Xu Xinsu ran to Yu Zhigao's side excitedly, with unconcealed excitement on his face......
frowned slightly, he didn't have a good impression of Xu Xinsu, but his uncle Zhang Yukun valued this person very much. glanced at Xu Xinsu. Yu Zhigao said expressionlessly: "Is there something wrong?" Say it as soon as possible! ”
Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian on the side, laughed, he had not dealt with Xu Xinsu for a day or two, and he still knew this person very well. Xu Xinsu is also quite a city person, if it weren't for a big event, he would definitely not be so excited.
"Xu Xinsu, it seems that you have discovered something big, come quickly, don't hang people's appetites!" Because the war went well, Nan Juyi's mood also improved a lot, and his tone of voice to Xu Xinsu eased a lot.
"Your Excellency. The little one just heard that half of the Dutch fleet was not on Penghu Island. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have captured Penghu so simply. Xu Xinsu said a news that no one expected, his expression was very excited, this is a great opportunity.
Yu Zhigao was slightly stunned. But he quickly reflected it, and said with a serious face: "Then where did they go?" ”
"General Hui, they united with Zheng Zhilong in Yizhou to attack the Spaniards! I don't know how the war is going, but there's no news yet! Xu Xinsu very much hoped that the Ming army would go directly to Taiwan and directly take Zheng Zhilong's lair, but there were some things he should not say. It's not something he can say.
Yu Zhigao on the side glanced at Qi Jin, then turned his gaze to Zhang Yukun on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Shi, what do you think we should do?" ”
"Rest in Penghu for a day, and then leave some people and boats to Nanda, and leave the affairs here to Nanda. We take the rest with us. Go directly to the bandits' lair in Yizhou, and take advantage of their emptiness, you must annihilate them in one fell swoop. Saying that, Zhang Yukun turned his gaze to Nan Juyi on the side and asked, "I don't know what Nanda thinks?" ”
Although Nan Juyi is unwilling to stay in Penghu, there is indeed no more suitable person than him here! I thought about it. The purpose of going to sea by himself has been achieved, and there is indeed some confusion in the mixing. Nodding slowly, Nan Juyi said with a smile: "This proposal is very good, since that's the case, I'll stay!" ”
At this time, on the island of Taiwan, the siege battle finally came to an end, and Zheng Zhilong stood at the head of the city with no expression on his face. However, Waite's expression on the side was a little lost, with an unconcealed resentment on his face.
The losses of the Dutch in this battle were somewhat large, with the loss of five ships and a third of the personnel. The goal of weakening Zheng Zhilong was not achieved, which made Waite very unwilling. On the contrary, Zheng Zhilong's loss is much smaller than his own. Thinking about the battle power to be distributed to Zheng Zhilong, Waite felt a pain in his heart.
However, at this time, Waite didn't dare to turn his face with Zheng Zhilong, and if he really fought, he was afraid that his people would be swallowed by Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong didn't want to do anything to the Dutch at this time, after all, even if he eliminated Waite's fleet, his own losses would be too great, and he couldn't directly eliminate the Dutch's power in the Taiwan Strait.
However, whether it was Waite or Zheng Zhilong, neither of them would have thought that at this time, the navy of the Ming Dynasty had already started a war against them. The Dutchman's Penghu has been lost, and Zheng Zhilong's hometown is also in danger.
"Your Excellency Commander Waite, the matter here has been almost dealt with, if there is nothing to do, I think of taking someone back!" Zhengzhou Long glanced at the warship that was loading the trophies, and said to Waite on the side with an expressionless face.
Turning his head and glancing at Zheng Zhilong, Waite said with a smile: "Master Zheng, we don't have anything to do, why are we in such a hurry?" ”
Neither of them said anything about the future cooperation, because both of them knew that the cooperation would end at this time. What follows is a war, a war between each other, a war for power in the Taiwan Strait.
At this moment, Waite will definitely not let Zheng Zhilong leave here first, and if there is an ambush halfway, Waite will definitely not be surprised. But before that, he was also comforted, presumably Faray should have arrived at the agreed place.
Zheng Zhilong naturally knew what Wetter was thinking, but he could only say that Witt guessed right! He really wanted to kill Waite halfway, keeping him was always a scourge, and he could weaken the strength of the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong would definitely do it.
Gently putting down the fold in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief, although he had confidence in his navy, he had never fought before! Now that everything is going well, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, is there any happy event? Can you tell the slave or maid? Let the slaves and maids be happy too! Seeing the relieved expression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen immediately laughed and said.
"The good news of Fujian Governor Nan Juyi, the war in the Taiwan Strait is going well! Yu Zhigao and Qi Jin have already expelled the Dutch, and Penghu has also taken it back, and are now preparing to attack the pirates entrenched in Taiwan! The Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly stood up and stretched his waist.
Ever since he crossed over, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt as if he was pressing a mountain on his body, and at this time, he finally felt that this mountain was about to be moved! I feel a lot more relaxed physically and mentally, and my state has changed, and now I can deal with anything calmly.
"That's good news! Slave and humble Emperor Xi, congratulations to the Emperor! Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly. During this period of time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been worried about this matter, and Wang Chengen knows this. It can be said that the mood of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is the barometer of the entire palace. Now that things are done well, and the expression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is also better, then it is said that the rain has passed and the sky is clear!
With a wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse motioned for Wang Chengen to follow, and walked outside the gate by himself. Looking at the blue sky outside, I breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if I had exhaled all the turbidity in my heart at once.
"Wang Chengen, you wait for a trip to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and get all the secret folds related to Shanxi and Shaanxi back! Things are pretty much the same over there, it's time to close the net! The Emperor of the Apocalypse moved his body and said to Wang Chengen on the side.
Now that I have the ability and all the foundations have been laid, I believe that in time, the Daimyo will definitely be able to soar to the sky. Now what you have to do is to remove the best obstacles, Northwest and Liaodong, it's time to do it!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Wang Chengen didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was talking about, he had been by the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse for so many years, and he knew just by listening to the voice of the Emperor of the Apocalypse that this time the matter would definitely not be small.
After pondering for a moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said again: "Is there any news from Cao Huachun?" ”
"Back to the emperor, not in the last two months!" Wang Chengen was slightly stunned, but still said respectfully. Regarding this matter, Wang Chengen is one of the few people who knows the inside story and knows what Cao Huachun is busy with.
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Send someone to remind Cao Huachun, ask him how things are doing, and if he hasn't done it yet, ask him if he can handle it well!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse sank again, Wang Chengen couldn't help but scold Cao Huachun in his heart. Originally, there were some happy events, but the emperor's face is finally good-looking, because you have changed back!
However, Wang Chengen naturally didn't understand that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was worried about his side, Shaanxi and Shanxi, these two places were a thorn in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Compared with the Taiwan Strait and Liaodong, this thorn made the Emperor of the Apocalypse feel more distressed. Since you have this strength and decide to pull out the thorns, it is natural to start from the most painful place.
