The helmsman of the Cam Ranh Bay Chao Gang, there was a lot of noise in the Juyi Hall.

The Liaodong Governor's Office has replied that the Chaogang caravan allows registered companies to operate legally, the Chaobang Navy is incorporated into the coast guard fleet, and the commander is still acting by the original leader of the Chaogang.

The conditions can be said to be very generous, but the White Lotus Sect also gave an answer.

"The Deputy Sect Master is no problem!"

Liu Erhei returned to the Chaogang Gathering Hall for the second time and brought back the affirmative reply of Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

"Our sect leader is about to start an incident, if the eldest brother and your brothers join, they will be the founding heroes. Don't say that Deng Haonan gave you a fleet commander, just a third-grade general. After the uprising, our sect leader will be called the emperor, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will be the general of Weiyuan, who will lead the imperial sailors, and he will be named a marquis and a general as a brother. ”

"Something is coming?"

Su Li and the others were shocked, when Xu Hongru first started an incident a few years ago, he had 100,000 troops and millions of sectarians, and at that time he was just king.

Now that he is going to make trouble again, he is actually the emperor? Seeing Liu Erhei's self-confidence, Su Li and the others were embarrassed.

Yang Guang asked, "I don't know what strength your sect has?" Sixth, you might as well give us a thorough explanation."

Wu Liuqi saw that Yang Guang's tone slowed down, and he was no longer angry, and he already understood in his heart that the other party's heart was shaken.

"The last incident was too hasty, and there was no overall arrangement to fail." Wu Liuqi said meaningfully: "This time, the sect leader has already made overall arrangements. At present, the north is extremely unstable, and half of the imperial army is concentrated in Liaodong to fight against the wheel, and half is concentrated in Shaanxi to exterminate the mob in all directions, so it can be said that it is in a state of great distress north of the Yangtze River. Today, the people's grievances are boiling, and our sect leader only needs to ascend to the top and shout, and all the people will respond. ”

The last time Xu Hongru revolted, the Ming Dynasty was relatively stable, so the rebellion was quickly suppressed by the imperial army. This time it is different, the Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles. The rebellion of the peasants in the north has become a prairie fire, which has restrained most of the troops and energy of the imperial court. However, the collapse of the eunuch party, the chaos of military and political affairs in various places, and the internal strife between the parties and factions, made the imperial court decrees and armaments slackened. At the same time, natural disasters in the country continue year after year, coupled with the eunuch party disaster, resulting in the people's livelihood. If you choose a good place to start an incident, the chance of success is very high.

Sully asked, "I wonder when and where your sect leader started the incident?" Wu Liuqi smiled and said, "Big brother, I can't tell you for the time being, but if the eldest brother agrees to join the alliance, then the younger brother naturally knows everything!" ”

It's forcing them to make a decision!

Xu Long thought in his heart that now was the critical moment, and he couldn't let Wu Liuqi pull the Chao Gang away.

So he said: "Sixth, you can't bring the eldest brother and brothers closer to a dead end!" The emaciated ostrich in the imperial court is bigger than the horse, even if you can deal with the local guards, you may not be able to fight the imperial army! ”

Wu Liuqi looked at Xu Long and snorted coldly: "What Di Haonan can give you, our sect leader can give you." What Deng Haonan can't give you, our sect leader can also give it to you

Xu Long retorted: "Our Chao Gang eats by the sea, and now that Haonan controls the power of the North and South Seas, to say something unpleasant, if you offend him, then you want to eat by the sea!" Big brother, each brother must know it very well in his heart. ”

Su Li and the others suddenly calmed down, Xu Long smiled slightly, and said, "The White Lotus Sect didn't have a single word about it!" No matter how strong they are, they can't shake Deng Haonan's hegemony at sea, you have to think clearly. If you want to eat by the sea, there is no other choice! ”

Yang Guang, Zhang Li and others nodded yes one after another, Xu Long's words stabbed them into their hearts, and they couldn't help but not wake up!

Wu Liuqi secretly said that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, our sect leader will soon overthrow the Dog Imperial Court if he causes trouble." When the time comes, the sect leader will use the power of the whole country to help the eldest brother develop a sailor, and he will definitely surpass Deng Haonan. ”

It seems to make sense!

Su Li and the others thought about it, and joined Xu Hongru to win the artifact, so it would be a piece of cake to deal with Na Haonan with all the strength of the country.

"Are you so sure that you think Xu Hongru can get the country?"

Wu Liuqi thought to himself that if he didn't add some ingredients to them, he was afraid that it would be difficult to impress them.

So he said, "I don't hide it! Our sect leader has infiltrated the sect members into the imperial court and localities, and even into the army of the important ground guards! Once we start an incident, we will have the men in the imperial army to cooperate. By the time the imperial court has dealt with internal affairs, we have already occupied a large area of land and a favorable position, and it will be almost impossible for the imperial court to exterminate us at that time! ”

Xu Long sneered: "Your people have infiltrated the imperial army? Can you also disturb the morale of the imperial court so that they cannot respond to your uprising, and you eat dry rice when the imperial court? ”

Wu Liuqi replied-for-tat: "You don't believe it, if I sue you, Wei Zhongxian is our person, will you believe it?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Wei Zhongxian is their person?

Xu Long laughed, "You're talking about a story!" ”

"I'm so weird!" Yang Guang also asked disdainfully: "Wei Zhongxian is your person, then I remember when Xu Hongru got up, but Wei Zhongxian suppressed you!" ”

Wu Liuqi smiled faintly and said, "If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian personally, our sect leader would have died in Huangquan a long time ago!" It's all because the sect leader didn't plan it well, thinking that when the Emperor of the Apocalypse came to power, Wei Zhongxian would be favored and something would happen. I never thought that although Wei Zhongxian was favored, he couldn't fight the Donglin Party, and the sect leader was in a hurry, resulting in the failure of the uprising. Now, although Wei Zhongxian has fallen, our people have infiltrated the imperial court yamen and the army under the cover of the eunuchs. ”

Xu Long is the voice of the voice! "Even if what you say is true! That Wei Zhongxian fell. Tens of thousands of eunuchs have killed the distribution of the distribution of the killing, and your losses are very heavy! ”

"That's right! Our losses have been devastating! Wu Liuqi did not deny it and said: "However, you don't know the rules of officialdom.

Although the people in the court fought against the eunuchs, they didn't want to make too many enemies, and they didn't do anything that offended people. Therefore, the number of people who were actually beheaded was only a few hundred. Many of our people were saved in preparation for the Sect Master's uprising. At the same time, you have forgotten that our people were sent to the frontier to serve as an army and were not executed. They will cooperate with our sect leader at any time! ”

Everyone gasped, and joined Wu Liuqi's words that were true, so the time, place, and people accounted for all three, and the success rate of the incident was nine out of ten.

Xu Long felt bad, and the more he argued with Wu Liuqi, the more unfavorable it was to his side.

"Big brother, what should I do?"

Su Li asked Wu Liuqi and said, "Deng Haonan is a real promise, how can you let me believe your words!" ”

Wu Niannian patted his chest and said: "Big brother, we have been brothers for so many years, the sixth son swears by the sky here, if what he said is wrong, the sky will thunder and thunder, and he will not die!" ”

This oath made Sully even more embarrassed.

Yang Guang, Zhang Li, Zhu Ayao, and Huang Hairu gathered in front of Su Li, waiting for him to decide. Next to him, Wu Liuqi and Xu Long were both waiting nervously. After a long time, Su Li looked at Xu Long and Wu Liuqi, and then called the four brothers to the inner room to talk.

"Change the dynasty, we go the wrong way, and we will be on the wrong team!"

"Big brother must have an idea, say it, brothers, listen!"

Su Li thought for a moment and said, "Neither of us can be offended, but neither side can be trusted!" So be it! The brothers were divided into two groups, one group with the recommended team to join Deng Haonan, and the other group with the navy army to join the White Lotus Sect. Look at the shape of both of them, which side has the upper hand, you have to help the brothers on the other side to take refuge again! Got it? ”

The four of them nodded their heads in understanding.

Yang Guang said: "However, Deng Haonan's fleet has arrived at Longmen Port, and our naval army cannot be left to the White Lotus Sect at all. ”

Su Li thought about it, so he said, "It's easy to do!" At the moment, after all, Deng Haonan's strength is outside, and it can be seen. Therefore, our bet is still on Na Haonan, the winning rate is larger, the caravan and the warship are given to Deng Haonan, one-third of the sailor brothers are given to Deng Haonan, and two-thirds are brought to the White Lotus Sect. The silver is divided into two halves, half of which is for Deng Haonan and the other half for the White Lotus Sect, how about it? .

When several people heard this, they thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Then, Su Lizai divided into two groups. Su Li took Yang Guang and Zhu Ayao to the White Lotus Sect, while Zhang Li and Huang Hairu followed Xu Long to Deng Haonan.

Then, the five of them acted separately and arranged their brothers and property first.

The Chaobang Navy has 60 ships of 2,000 materials, 120 sand ships of about 1,000 materials, more than 2,000 large and small ships of the boatmaster, and 40 large sea ships of the caravan merchant ships, with more than 80,000 people under its command. Among them, the twenty 2,000 warships under the command of Wu Liuqi will not be given to Di Haonan, and the rest will be presented to Deng Haonan by Zhang Li and Huang Hairu. The Chaogang has more than 20 million taels of silver, which is divided into two parts, and each of them leaves 10 million taels. As for how to deal with the dots, it is up to both parties to decide. In terms of manpower, Su Li took 50,000 people with him, after all, following the White Lotus Sect, it would not work without soldiers.

However, on the whole, the Chao Gang obviously put heavy pressure on Di Haonan. After all, Deng Haonan's strength is clearly there. Therefore, the Chao Gang's shipyard in Cam Ranh Bay, along with tens of thousands of workers and equipment, also gave Na Haonan as a meeting gift, helping Xu Long, Zhang Li and Huang Hairu to obtain a good position and good treatment in the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.

After Qiē was ready, Su Li called Wu Liuqi and Xu Long in and told the two of them about the situation.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force my brother!"

Wu Liuqi and Xu Long both felt sorry, but the former said: "Since this is the case, we will be enemies in the future, and ask the eldest brother to detain Xu Long, Zhang Li and Huang Hairu to prevent Deng Haonan from making trouble." ”

Su Li waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's get together and disperse." Even if each is his master, he should not meet each other. Let them go".

Wu Liuqi was still waiting to stop it, but seeing that Su Li's face was not good, he stomped his feet and sighed.

Xu Long then took Zhang Li and Huang Hairu away, and immediately led the entire Chaogang caravan and the naval warship to leave together, and also took away half of the Chaogang's family property.

These are all dark box operations of the five Su Li, and by the time Wu Liuqi reflects it, it will be too late.

"Big brother!" Wu Liuqi said anxiously: "Why did you let them take away all the naval warships?" ”

Su Li smiled: "Do you think our navy can beat Di Haonan's Pacific Fleet?" ”

Wu Liuqi said depressedly: "Even if you can't beat it, you can't give it to them in vain!" ”

Su Li said: "Xu Long, Zhang Li and Huang Hairu are our brothers after all, rather than letting these warships be sunk and captured by Deng Haonan's fleet, it is better to let them give them directly to Di Haonan, and after earning a favor, they can stay there and do things." ”

Wu Liuqi sighed: "But what do you give to the sect leader, big brother?" Brother is also thinking about you."

Yang Guang said with a smile: "The sixth brother doesn't have to be nervous, the eldest brother left 50,000 brothers to defect to the White Lotus Sect together, and also left 5 million taels of silver for circulation, presumably the White Lotus Sect is about to start an incident, and the military salary will not be much, Xu Hongru will not want this silver!" ”

Wu Liuqi's face immediately improved when he heard this, and he said: "Fifty thousand horses, plus five million taels of silver, this is enough!" ”

Su Li nodded and said, "Without further ado, the flowers are not old in a hurry!" Otherwise, Deng Haonan may rob and kill me halfway today.

Wu Liuqi thought for a while and said, "That's fine!" It's just that my twenty warships can't fit 50,000 horses! ”

Su Li asked, "Your sect leader is going to make trouble there, how can we rush over to meet the teacher!" ”

Wu Liuqi said: "Now that everyone is brothers again, I won't hide it from you." The sect leader will start up in Anyuan County, South Gan

Yang Guang said: "Following the White Lotus Sect in Jiangxi, the navy is basically useless, besides, from here to Jiangxi, if you take the sea route, Deng Haonan's fleet will directly send us to the sea to feed Wang Ba." Let's go by road! ”

Wu Liuqi thought about it, at the beginning, he had been thinking about the matter of the naval warship, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt that Yang Guang was right. Starting from Cam Ranh Bay to Jiangxi, he must have been killed by Deng Haonan's fleet on the way. In that case, not only will you not be able to get 50,000 sailors and silver, but you will lose all your money.

"Brother Nafu, you go to Jiangxi by land. I walked away from the sea to lure Deng Haonan away. ”

"No way!" Su Li shook his head and said, "You must stay with us, otherwise we are blind if we are not familiar with life." Besides, we need to pass through Guangxi to Jiangxi, how can the imperial court let us go? ”

Wu Liuqi said: "Guangxi also has our people, I'll take you there!" ”

Su Li and the others glanced at each other, feeling a little relieved, so they nodded in agreement.

※※

Xu Long took Huang Hairu and Zhang Li to Penghu Longmen Port to join Deng Haonan, and Chen Yaoming of the Admiralty of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion and a group of admirals went to sea to greet them, which made Huang Hairu and Zhang Li feel more face-saving, and at the same time, they also felt embarrassed and guilty about their brothers' speculative behavior.

Chen Yaoming led the officers and men of the navy to hold a grand welcoming ceremony for them, but when Xu Long only brought Huang Hairu and Zhang Li, and Su Li, Yang Guang, and Zhu Ayao were missing, they were suddenly a little unhappy.

Calling Xu Long, Chen Yaoming asked, "Uncle, what about Su Li?" ”

Xu Long said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and Su Li and they are unwilling to defect to Lord Di, so they have switched to the White Lotus Sect. ”

Chen Yaoming frowned and said, "They defected to the White Lotus Sect, why did they send the water army and the merchant gang?" ”

"I don't know!" Xu Long guessed: "Su Li, they said that they wanted to go to the White Lotus Sect to see the market, and they didn't want to offend Lord Deng, they knew that Lord Deng only cared about warships, caravans and shipyards, so they directly handed it over to Huang Hairu and Zhang Li, so that you don't embarrass them." ”

When Chen Yaoming heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the ultimate goal was achieved, and he had obtained one hundred and ten warships, thousands of boat divisions, and a large caravan, which could be regarded as being able to account for Deng Haonan. "Right now, our family has already formed a bond with the White Lotus Sect, so Wu Liuqi and they can't let it go." Chen Yaoming asked, "Which route did they take?" ”

Xu Long thought for a moment and said, "When we left, we brought all the warships, merchant ships, and boat divisions with us, and only Wu Liuqi himself still had twenty large warships. They were going in the same direction as us, they should have gone north! ”

Chen Yaoming nodded and said, "So they are going to cross the Taiwan Strait?" ”

Xu Longcai replied: "It should be like this! ”

Chen Yaoming called the guards, gave a few words in his ear, and then sent him to inform the fleet headquarters to intercept Wu Liuqi's sailors.

At this time, Xu Long suddenly said: "That's right! I heard Wu Liuqi say that the White Lotus Sect is about to start an incident, and the scale is quite huge. ”

"What?" Chen Yaoming asked in surprise: "Want to rebel?" ”

Xu Long nodded, so he told Chen Yaoming what he knew.

After hearing this, Chen Yaoming was stunned, so he hurriedly wrote a letter and reported the situation to Na Haonan and the General Staff to know.

The fleet command had already made combat deployments, but it had previously been aimed at the entire Chaogang Naval Army. Now the tide gang has surrendered to the army, saving the trouble of war. However, after receiving Chen Yaoming's order, the main force of the Pacific Fleet urgently anchored and set sail to intercept Wu Liuqi's sails.

According to intelligence, Wu Liuqi's navy had only twenty large warships, which crossed the strait from the Leizhou Peninsula. The intelligence station planted by the Military Intelligence Bureau in Guangdong intercepted the intelligence of the Imperial Court's Guanfang Boat Division and knew the route of Wu Liuqi's navy.

Fleet Commander Shi Jianfei quickly dispatched a frigate to search for the enemy fleet along the Taiwan Strait, and discovered them in the waters south of Guangdong the next day.

It turned out that Wu Liuqi was not on the fleet, so it was Wu Liuqi's henchman Wang Xi who commanded the twenty warships. Wang Xi was very bold, and he could have quickly passed through the Taiwan Strait. However, Wang Xi got the information, and the Pacific Fleet was dispatched to welcome the surrender of Xu Long and others, and the scale was huge. In order not to be discovered, Wang Xi chose to lurk for a day, wait until the other party's welcome ceremony is over, and then cross the Taiwan Strait overnight.

Unexpectedly, before the welcoming ceremony was over, the Pacific Fleet began to blockade the Taiwan Strait and search for them everywhere.

The entire Chaogang Navy is not the opponent of the Pacific Fleet, Wang Xi understands this difference in strength, so he plays a game of peek-a-boo, and takes his fleet to hide near a deserted island in the Lingzhu Ocean, waiting for the wind to subside before leaving.

Unexpectedly, the entire water army was discovered by a scumbag. The Chao Gang warships are all Da Ming Guang ships, which are very easy to recognize, and now the imperial court is collecting the key criminals of the Chao Gang, so the fishermen reported to the nearby government to receive the reward. Then the military intelligence bureau learned the information, so the Pacific Fleet came to the door. D
