Chapter 285 has gains and losses

Most of the generals and soldiers of the cavalry battalion did not know the reason for the matter, and they were naturally indignant in their hearts, but when Oro Dai announced the decree and made it difficult, there were also many soldiers and generals in their eyes, at this time, as soon as the atmosphere relaxed, all kinds of discussions spread in the ranks, some applauded, some scolded, and it was chaotic for a while.

Baotai's personal guards came to give orders, and all the generals were very hesitant, but seeing that Baotai was fine, and the navy began to close the team, they all felt a little at ease, and the commander Guan Wanli didn't believe that the fourteenth elder brother would make a mutiny, so he groaned slightly, and ordered loudly, "The generals above the staff are out of the ranks, and follow me to the discussion." ”

Where did the generals dare to be presumptuous at this time, they dismounted fifty yards away from Yinzhen and Baotai, walked to the front, and regardless of the armor, they stepped forward to salute.

Yinzhen glanced at the generals and raised his voice: "I don't know that a general who cherishes his soldiers is not a good general!" I don't know that the generals who protect their bosses are also not good generals! I am very pleased with your performance today, and with generals like you, the cavalry battalion will be able to conquer everything and be invincible.

I am also a person who leads the troops, I know the difficulty of leading the troops, and I will not worry about you because of some trivial things, you are the emperor's servants, and it is the duty to do a good job of the emperor's errand with peace of mind. ”

As soon as they heard Yinzhen say that they didn't care, Guan Wanli and other generals were all relieved, and they all shook their chests and said in unison: "Xie Fourteenth Master is not guilty." ”

Prince Yu Baotai couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this situation, and said that the old fourteen was good at military affairs, and the rumors were true, and he beat the commander of the cavalry battalion, but he could stabilize the army's heart in a few words.

When the generals got up, Yinzhen said: "The emperor is about to arrive in Tianjin in a few days, the errand assigned by the emperor can not be slack, a little mistake, I and you are not good-looking, the Spanish 9,000 prisoners of war, all imprisoned on the isolated island at the mouth of the Haihe River, a hundred miles away from Tianjin City, there are 4,000 naval guards.

The 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiao cavalry battalion rushed to the ground, one was in vain, and the other was difficult to supply grain and grass, so Prince Yu Baotai led a thousand cavalry to assist, and the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses assisted the king in charge of Tianjin's security and welcoming matters, do you have any objections? ”

Regarding Yinzhen's arrangement, Prince Yu Baotai has no opinion, there are 1,000 cavalry rushed to help supervise the Spanish prisoners of war, his task is considered to be implemented, as long as the Spanish prisoners of war do not make trouble, he is enough to deal with Kangxi.

Seeing that Baotai was silent, Guan Wanli and other generals did not dare to speak, the fourteenth master said clearly enough, if he was not obedient, there would be no food and grass supply, and the Xiaoqi battalion only brought two days' rations to Tianjin, besides, no one wanted to go to the beach to eat and sleep, Prince Yu Baotai did not object, and they were also happy.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yinzhen nodded and said: "Since no one objected, it was decided, and you discussed the allocation of troops by yourself." After saying that, he turned around and took the Navy back to the naval division camp.

As soon as Yinzhen, Wu Ge, and Yande entered the barracks, Fang Bao greeted them with a smile, and after a while, he smiled and said, "The Fourteenth Master is a good method. ”

Yinzhen nodded and smiled: "Mr. postpone the praise, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, I don't know the bottom of my heart, let's go into the house and say." ”

Entering the room and sitting down, Fang Bao smiled and said, "How does the Fourteenth Master plan to treat Oro Dai?" ”

Yinzhen pondered and said: "Oro Dai is the cadre of the starling, and it is naturally best to be able to completely bring it down, but he has always won the trust of the emperor, I am afraid it is not as easy as you." ”

"Bringing down the Oro Dai can be said to be a matter of counting in one fell swoop, and this matter is not difficult! There is no need for the Fourteenth Master to make another move. Fang Bao groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Oro Dai and Ah Ling'a are the pillars of the Eighth Master in the clan, and defeating Oro Dai will not only seriously weaken the strength of the Eighth Master Party and hit the prestige of the Eighth Master, but also greatly deter those in the clan who are not firm in their position." …,

The Tong family is known as the 'Tong Half Dynasty', since Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei, the strength has been much worse than before, but the foundation is deep, whether it is the court or the local incumbents are very numerous, it is still not to be underestimated, the fourteenth master openly has a grudge with the Tong family, in the emperor's opinion, it is a good thing, the fourteenth master itself is strong, and then with the Tong family, the emperor must be difficult to sleep. Therefore, in this matter, the emperor will definitely add fuel to the fire and aggravate the deterioration of the relationship between the Fourteenth Master and the Tong family, and Oro Dai is destined to become an outcast!

In addition, Oro Dai is plain and self-serving, arrogant and domineering, and there are not a few people who have offended in the clan and ministers, and the fourteenth master's move is tantamount to speaking out for them, which can be regarded as a gain and loss. ”

On April 14, when Shen, Kangxi received several letters and secret letters from Tianjin, Oro Dai's dominance was in his expectations, but Yinzhen's toughness was beyond his expectations, after consulting the excerpts of Prince Yu Baotai, he learned that the Spanish 9,000 prisoners of war were imprisoned on Bonan Island, a hundred miles away from Tianjin, he took a closer look at Yinzhen's excerpts.

Yinzhen introduced the prisoner sacrifice ceremony and the arrangement of the military exercise in detail on the recital, seeing that the Spaniards had a very heavy role in the military exercise, Kangxi Fang understood why Yinzhen would be so tough, frowned and pondered for a long time, and then he drafted the edict: "Oro Dai is arrogant and arrogant, arrogant, unscrupulous, and has a defiled official, and his people are not of great use.

The fourteenth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, acted arbitrarily, humiliated the courtiers, lost the courtiers, and damaged the dignity of the court, so he was demoted to the prince of the county. ”

After a slight pause, Kangxi drafted another edict: "The fifth son of the emperor Yinqi and the ninth son of the emperor Yinyu will stay in Beijing, and the rest of the adult princes will go to Tianjin to watch the ceremony." ”

After writing, Kangxi instructed Li Dequan and said, "Tomorrow morning, send it out." ”

On the fifteenth, it was auspicious.

Kangxi led the kings, Baylor, Beizi, Gong, civil and military ministers, took the dragon boat, all the way to Tianjin, there are warships in front of the royal boat to open the way, there are guard ships to accompany each other, there are pro-military camps within ten miles along both sides of the river, Xiao cavalry battalion, forward battalion, firearms battalion, guard battalion, tiger gun battalion tens of thousands of cavalry to guard each other back and forth, strict guarding, all the way but see the banner waving, knights like a stream.

Many of the children of the clan who have never been out of Beijing are like birds out of the cage, full of freshness to the scene in front of them, but the eighth elder brother Yinxi has no intention of watching the coastal scenery, and is in a daze in the cabin with a heavy heart, Oro Dai's dismissal has dealt him a big blow, and the strength of the eight parties in the army is extremely shallow, and the influence of the eight parties in the army is very small. After this incident, many clan relatives and nobles were afraid that they would retreat from neutrality, or even switch to the 14th Party.

He didn't know how to deal with the old fourteen's method of beating and pulling for a while, and turning against him would only cheapen the fourth brother, so he continued to tolerate it, and if he continued like this, he was worried that the old fourteen would have the upper hand.

Crown Prince Yinren looked at the various knights shuttling along the banks of the river, as well as all kinds of flags, and he was also very depressed, he never expected that Kangxi's trip to Tianjin, he would mobilize such a huge number of troops, and after a cursory look at the flags, he knew that the Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade stationed in Beijing had all been dispatched.

How many people are in the navy in Tianjin, Yinren doesn't know, but the total strength of the navy is less than 10,000, and the most relied on by the old fourteen in the navy are Wu Ge and Yande, which is well known, and Seropen has never heard anyone mention it, how many people can he control? Thousand? Two thousand?

What is the use of one or two thousand people under such heavy guard? What can it be? Thinking that Seroben didn't even dare to hold the pen in the secret letter he wrote to himself, it can be seen that he was not sure about it at all, it was just a whim. Thinking of this, Yinren's mood was greatly depressed. Manila Bay, Tadpole Island is in the middle of the entrance to Manila Bay, is the choke point of Manila Port, the Spaniards once set up a card on the island to inspect and tax incoming and outgoing trade ships, and then gave up, but also realized the strategic significance of Tadpole Island, so two batteries were built on it, and fourteen artillery pieces were placed.

There were not many troops stationed on Tadpole Island, the total number was one hundred and forty men, most of them were local natives, the Spaniards were less than twenty, and the supreme commander was Second Lieutenant Pipol.

Early in the morning, Pipper was awakened by a burst of excited cheers, he didn't need to go out to look, he also knew that there must be a large fleet coming, he got up and was a little puzzled, since the massacre of biological people in Manila, there has been no merchant fleet coming to Manila, how can there be a fleet at this time? Could it be that the Far Eastern Fleet is back?

Pipol was excited, and immediately rushed out, counting the time, the Far Eastern Fleet should have returned a long time ago, and rushed to the battery in one breath, and a native soldier flattered him and said: "Your Excellency, it's the Far Eastern Fleet that has returned." ”

Sure enough, it was the Far Eastern Fleet, Pipol nodded reservedly, then raised the telescope to watch, and soon, his face sank, damn the natives, it was a sail battleship, but it was not their Spanish battleship at all, it was a Dutch battleship! He immediately shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry up and call the police, you pig. ”

As soon as they heard that it was an enemy attack, the indigenous soldiers on the battery were blinded, wasn't it the Far Eastern Fleet of the Spaniards?

"Ring the bell and ring the alarm immediately! Get ready for battle! Pipol angrily kicked the native, who was still fluting.

The rapid bell immediately rang throughout Tadpole Island, and the defenders of the fort, who had not experienced a battle for many years, immediately became a mess, and rushed to their respective gun emplacements, Pipol observed carefully for a while, and his brows immediately wrinkled, there were more than thirty ships in the fleet, and sixteen sail warships, all of which were auxiliary ships, but the red golden dragon flag was hung on the ship, and the other ships were all lucky ships of the Qing Kingdom.

Thinking of the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Qing merchant ships, Pi Boer immediately concluded that this was the Qing warship! The Qing state has sail warships? A bad premonition suddenly popped up, could it be that something happened to the Far Eastern Fleet? He immediately turned around and ordered: "Send the clippers back immediately to report and ask for support, the Qing warship invades!" ”
