The heavy rain poured on the ground like a downpour, and everything was soaked in the rising river, a scene was so boring, but compared to the sky in front of him, which seemed to never clear, what made Tian Chao more anxious was the ghost wandering in the sea outside the mouth of the Datian River. (The fastest update speed is in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) It is only calculated that from September 17, the 42nd year of the Yongli calendar to February 20, the 43rd year of the Yongli calendar, the Xibo Nidu Governor's Mansion has been locked down by the Dutch for five months and five days. Although a number of necessary supplies were transferred through the interconnected waterways of Guò during this period, the stone that pressed on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of the Xibo Nidu Governor's Mansion was so heavy.

Speaking of which, Xibo mud is not a happy land, and the sadistic mosquitoes, leeches and other tropical poisonous insects threaten the lives of the soldiers and civilians all the time, and it has taken the lives of thirty or forty soldiers and civilians in just a few years, but after all, this land is their new home now, and no one is not panicked by the arrival of robbers.

At the beginning, people were still counting on Dongning's rescue, but as the days passed, hope turned into disappointment, disappointment turned into despair, and the reason why there was no hysterical outburst was that on the one hand, it was of course this damn rainy season, and on the other hand, Tian Chao, Zhuge Maple Leaf and others were restrained and powerful, but now

"The rainy season is coming to an end, if Dongning doesn't send reinforcements." Chang Yong shook his head. "Even if Hongyi Shou Promise doesn't take the initiative to attack the Chaowu Fort, the local people of Baobu will have a strange mind."

"There are only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, Hongyi leads but does not start, this is to drag us to death." Cao Yi agreed. "Now that the morale of the army is already unstable, in case the siege cannot be lifted again, I am afraid that those new annexes and later mine slaves will have other thoughts."

"Don't complain." Tian Chao couldn't hold back when he heard this, and broke off the petiole of the banana that served as a fan. "I don't think I can survive if I just two boats are pressed outside? I'm not so delicate, we should farm the land, we should fish and hunt, I don't believe it, Hongyi can outperform us. As for what you say about the unstable morale of the army. Tian Chao looked at the location of someone who was not present. Put the news out, He Hujun has already gone to Batavia to help the big guy find a wife, if anyone is cowardly at this juncture, don't blame me for not giving them a chance"

Before Tian Chao's words were finished, Jiang Tao, who was drenched, rushed in: "Hongyi has retreated!" ”

Several sentry officers and prison officers stood up excitedly and surrounded Jiang Tao to ask long and short questions, Jiang Tao only felt that he had fallen into the noise trap for a while, and he was dumbfounded and didn't know whose question to answer first. ”

The room suddenly fell silent, and then Tian Chao confirmed: "Long An, how do you know that Hongyi has retreated. ”

"Captain Fang sent someone back in a small row to report." Jiang Tao took off his wet clothes, sat on the edge of the pond fire, wiped his whole body with a dry cloth, and replied, the wet clothes on the shelf were roasted by the fire, emitting bursts of moisture, making the fire pond full of moldy smell. "It is said that the Daishan is leading the Maoyu to inform the ship into the estuary, and the specific news will be conveyed by the Maoyu."

[Maoyu]? The people present looked at each other, and it was strange that they were all from the Lu Division, otherwise they should have known that this was a notification ship belonging to the Zhenguo Fleet. But this is good news anyway, Tian Chao immediately ordered someone to inform the whole village. When the cheers rang out, Tian Chao knew that the crisis had finally been over

"What? Is it Admiral Ma who personally went into battle? "Listening to the words of Xiao Tongsheng, the captain of the [Maoyu], Tian Chao couldn't help but exclaim, who is Ma Ying, not to mention the head of the three admirals in Zheng Jun's naval division, that is, from a personal point of view, Ma Ying is Tian Chao's benefactor." Then can you send this official to Li Weigong to pay homage to your lordship? ”

"Lord Tian has a heart, but the military gate is leading the ships to pursue the Hongyi warship, and I am afraid that it will not be able to turn around for a while and a half." Xiao Tongsheng looked at Tian Chao, who was a little disappointed, and smiled reservedly, in his eyes, although Tian Chao was from the Navy, he was not comparable to an authentic naval attache like himself, as for the rumors that Ma Ying admired Tian Chao, it made him disdain the fortunate governor in front of him. "However, the Governor can order some meat to be prepared." Of course, I can't look down on it, but when I am dispatched, it is as if I am the other party's superior. "Maybe it will."

Tian Chao ignored the arrogance of the other party, and immediately nodded and promised, even if the relationship between Ma Ying was put aside, people came all the way to relieve the siege, there was no good wine, and other food should be arranged properly, of course, the only few cattle were reluctant to be slaughtered, and the number of unclean pigs in the eyes of the locals was not much, so Tian Chao ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep and sent people to the delta to catch waterfowl and dig birds' eggs, and prepared thousands of people's ingredients.

I looked forward to it for a long time, until noon the next day, the long-rainy Xibo mud suddenly cleared up for a short time, and under the background of this auspicious omen, Tian Chao, who was sitting on the [Maoyu], saw his own returning fleet. In order to break the blockade of Xiboni, in order to deal with the Dutch with more than two Galen warships, the Zhenguo fleet except for the three 5,000-material ships left in Dongning, the remaining five three-masted gunboats with more than 6,000 materials all arrived. Of course, the Dutch are not soft persimmons, although they set sail away at the first sight, but they still bravely fought back after being overtaken, Zheng Jun paid for this a boat fire, and the price of the two ships was created before one of them was paralyzed and dragged back, and the other was also unable to catch up.

"Junmen," Tian Chao, who transferred from the [Maoyu] to the [Li Weigong], was shocked at the fierceness of the battle at the beginning, but when he saw Ma Ying wrapped his head, this shock had risen to the point of no return. "The military gate is willing to brave the thunder arrow to rescue Xibo mud, the lower officer is grateful, and also invites the military gate and the officers and soldiers of the ships to go ashore, and the lower officer has prepared wine and food to work for the army."

"There is no need to go ashore, but after the Dutch flee back to Batavia, they will bring in heavy troops, and you can have the food and wine delivered to the ships." Ma Ying instructed Tian Chao, although he was not a few years older than Tian Chao, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the bearing of the superior was fully revealed. "By the way, you have done a good job in Xibo Ni, and the Lord has praised you to me in private."

"Don't dare, the Lord and the military gate have praised it." Tian Chao knew what kind of expression he should make at this moment. "Without the material support of the Military Affairs Department and the help of colleagues in the Governor's Office, how could the subordinate fight the current situation with his bare hands?"

"These are polite words and nonsense, whether they are really capable or not, the Lord can see it clearly." Ma Ying unceremoniously interrupted Tian Chao's humility. "By the way, now that Dongning is expanding the army, the Lord may have a plan to re-enter the mainland, it is the time to employ people, I can sponsor you, limited to seniority, I am afraid that the regimental command system will not be able to be commissioned for a while, but the regimental commander is not without hope, how about it, are you interested?"

"Thank you for your support." Tian Chao thanked him with all his mouth, but he couldn't make a decision for a while if he went back or stayed. "Junmen, this matter is sudden, and the lower officials are not prepared for a while, can you allow me to think about it for two days."

"Then let's figure it out." Ma Ying doesn't force it, after all, the opportunity is her own. "But the official can only stay here for one day, and if he still can't decide, then he has to postpone it."

"Why is the military gate in such a hurry?" Tian was shocked. "Wouldn't it be if Hongyi returned?"

"It's because I'm worried about Hongyi's comeback, so I have to return early." Ma Ying interrupted Tian Chao's words and pointed to the towed Dutch ship on the sea in the distance. "Originally, a few minor injuries were not a big deal, and there were shipwrights on the ship who could repair them on the spot, but after capturing such a big guy, you may not know that Dongning can only build a similar gunboat in a year now, so although it is badly damaged, it is necessary to tow it back to Dongning for repair and backup."

Ma Ying paused before saying again: "As for Hongyi coming again, now Dongning has also captured hundreds of Hongyi alive before and after, Hongyi is coming again, you will send someone to sue them, if you want to redeem these people, you must first sign an armistice treaty, and the two sides will not attack, so Xibo Ni may be able to avoid the disaster of war." ”

In fact, Ma Ying had vaguely revealed the true purpose of Ming Zheng's armistice negotiations with the Netherlands to Tian Chao, and Tian Chao, who understood this, showed a clear look on his face: "Military Gate, distant friendship and close attack, so this time is really going to fight a big battle?" ”

"What the Lord thinks, this is not something you and I can speculate on." Ma Ying admonished Tian Chao. "Whether it's a big battle or a small battle, you and I are both martial artists, and martial artists shouldn't make decisions, and you have to listen to the above." Ma Ying is mentioning that Tian Chao should not be jealous of the military and political affairs, and Tian Chao is naturally grateful for this, but Tian Chao has not thanked him again, so he listened to Tian Chao add. "This time, I also brought some baggage for Xibo mud, don't talk bare, arrange the transfer as much as possible."

Tian Chao immediately thought of what Ma Ying had just said, and asked eagerly, "But won't it be sent again this year?" ”

"Exactly," Ma Ying hesitated for a moment and still confided a hint to Tian Chao. "Now that all military resources are being transferred to Zhoushan and Seogwipo, Dongning has no spare energy to take care of the three southern governors such as Cam Ranh, Labuan, and Xiboni."

"Zhousan and Seogwipo?" Tian Chao was stunned for a moment. "Junmen, do you mean the Lord?"

"The Northern Fleet has already built a temporary water village on the front line of Salmon Island, and it may not be for this operation."

"Shouldn't it be, go to Shandong all of a sudden." Tian Chao couldn't help but discuss it with Ma Ying, and even forgot about the status gap between them. "This is too risky, there are only many soldiers and horses in Dongning, in case it falls into the siege of the Qing captives, it is inappropriate, it is not proper."

"This is not necessarily, the mountains of Shandong are not a place where the Qingyu horse team can gallop." When Ma Ying said this, he suddenly came over, he was a sailor general, and he was taken to the ditch by Tian Chao, so he laughed and scolded. "That's it, you and I can't discuss these reasons, let's get down to business first"
