"Hooray!" Looking at the Luo Gai erected on the left side of the road and the figure that appeared under Luo Gai, the veterans of the Zheng Army who passed by couldn't help cheering, and after cheering, the veterans also pointed to the new annex army for unknown reasons. (If you like this book, please collect biquge.info) "Silly boy, I can't understand it, right, sue you, that's the lord of the domain!" ”

Not to mention the jaw-dropping new annexed army, Zheng Kezang, who listened to the cries of the rolling mountains and overlooked the long army formation heading to the front line in front of him, fell into thought. Speaking of which, he was just going to take a handful of money in Fuzhou and leave, but he didn't expect that the shape would develop so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Fujian had all fallen into the hands of Zheng Jun except for Nanping, Shaowu and other northwest Fujian, and he didn't expect that the subordinates who had been beaten because of this would never want to stop.

Of course, what Zheng Kezhang was worried about was not whether Zheng's army could continue to fight; in fact, Ming and Zheng had sufficient reserves of gunpowder, and the armor and firearms seized in Fuzhou and other places could also meet Zheng's army expansion plan, and there was no problem in terms of military salaries -- because Ming and Zheng used copper coins and copper yuan for internal circulation and gold and silver for foreign trade, the silver needed to make up for military expenses was still more than enough. But the key lies in the grain, the battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang from the 44th to the 45th year of Yongli and a number of subsequent battles have made Dongning's grain storage drop to a dangerous stage, although after the war once stepped up the purchase of grain in Taiwan and widely imported from Siam, Ngani, Chenla, Quang Nam and other places, but it will take time to make up for the gap, in addition, although Fuzhou has also captured a lot of grain, but Fujian province has very little arable land, in previous years need to import grain from Hunan and Jiangxi, now the war is bound to be cut off, I don't know how to make up for the gap, so blind optimism is not okay

Zheng Kezhang shook his head and drove a series of negative feelings out of his mind, since he had decided to fight, let's go all out. Of course, Zheng Kezang's so-called all-out effort is not a desperate gamble, for this reason, he first transferred the five divisions of Zuo Longxiang, Zuo Longwu, Zuo Huwei, Right Yiwei, and Right Shotsheng, as well as the fifth and sixth regiments of Hailongxiang's division and the four Kunlun Nu regiments back to Dongning for rest; and set up forts on the front line of Lianjiang and Luoyuan to ensure the safety of the northern line of Fuzhou, and the fourth regiment of the Hailongxiang Division to the front line of Minqing to monitor the movements of western Fujian and Zhou Zhenghe's left Funing division; He also ordered the Fubo fleet of Haitan to be stationed in the Dongtou Governor's Mansion, and cooperated with the 3rd Regiment of the Hailongxiang Division to attack and blockade Sanmen Bay, Taizhou Bay, Wenzhou Bay and other coastal areas in southern Zhejiang; He then ordered the Zhoushan Fleet and the Second Regiment of the Hailongxiang Division to cruise in Hangzhou Bay, Yongjiang Estuary, and Yangtze River Estuary to divide the Qing army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu; After this qiē was completed, Zheng Kezang personally led Zuo Wuwei and other six divisions and six Kunlun slave regiments and more than 40,000 people to advance into eastern Guangdong, and the current scene was born.

In fact, due to the Zheng army's recapture of Nanao and other places, the Qing army of Guangdong Province had already stationed in Chaozhou with the fifth battalion of the commander of the army and the third battalion of the town standard under the command of the general army of Chaozhou Town, the left battalion of the Huanggang Association, the Huilai battalion, the Raoping battalion, the Chaoyang battalion, the Xingning battalion, the Pingzhen battalion, and the Chaozhou city guard battalion and the right battalion of the Nanao town standard, the left battalion of the Chenghai battalion, the right battalion, the Haimen battalion, and the Dahao battalion of about 15,000 people. Houying, supervising the standard water division battalion, Suiyao battalion, military standard peace, Sihui, Nafu, Yong'an, Xingning, Pingzhen and other battalions, only because of the Zheng army's high fighting and the rapid change of hands in Zhangquan and other places made the Qing army in Guangdong Province did not rashly enter Fujian, but Rao is so, the Qing army to help more and more gathered, and when the Zheng army crossed the Fengjiang River (note: Huanggang River), the Qing army on the front line of Chaozhou has reached more than 30,000 people, Guangzhou general Baiyin Dali, Liangguang governor Wu Xingzuo, Li Linlong, the current commander of the Guangdong Army who was the deputy commander of the Han Army of the Zhenghuang Banner, also gathered in this city, and a big battle was about to start in the blink of an eye.

However, as if Zheng Kezhang hesitated in the two strategies, the Qing army in Chaozhou City also had doubts about how to respond to the battle, some insisted on relying on the strong city to defend to the death, and some people thought that a field battle should be carried out.

Because the Hanjiang River became shallower and the current slowed down after passing through Chaozhou, and there were flood gates at the estuaries of Dongxi and Xixi, Zheng Jun's gunboats of more than 3,000 materials did not dare to sail in lightly, but only sent the modified old-fashioned 600-material notification ships into the Hanjiang River. The 600 material notification ship is a fast ship type designed and built in the early Ming and Zheng periods, originally carried a total of four two-and-a-half-inch light guns on both sides, this time in order to attack Chaozhou, deliberately re-activated from the mothballed state, but also in the windy period in Dongning to implement the transformation, the original guns were removed, and a four-inch heavy gun was added to the center line of the ship's deck. The modified 600 material notification ship can no longer play a high-speed role due to the change of draft and center of gravity, but it is qualified as a shallow water heavy artillery ship. Therefore, when as many as six gunboats of this type bombarded the eastern wall of Chaozhou on the Han River, the Qing army had no good way to deal with it except to take the initiative to attack.

Whether it is an attack or a defense, first of all, the Qing army must cut off the threat of Zheng's gunboats on the Han River. To this end, the Qing army pieced together more than 40 inland river warships and civilian boats of various kinds, such as Changlong, Kuai, and crab boats, and sailed from the upstream to Fenghuangzhou overnight to set up an ambush with nearly 1,000 people from the Sailor Battalion and the Chenghai Battalion.

In the early morning of August 21, the 46th year of Yongli, the mist shrouded in the Han River had just been dispelled by the rising sun, and when the Zheng gunboats were going up the Xixi River from the lower reaches of the Han River to the section of the Annan Temple, the Qing army in advance on the west bank suddenly fired cannons and drums, and the Qing army in ambush rushed straight down from Fenghuangzhou, and the two sides immediately exchanged fire.

"Raise the signal flag." Before the Zheng army broke into the Han River, he had already calculated the possible reaction of the Qing army, so he was quite calm in the face of the ambush, and the command ship at the head soon received an order. "The whole team turned their heads." The original production of 600 material notification ships are all brigs that can turn around on the spot, so although the morning wind is gentle, but under the dumbfounded Qing army, Zheng Jun still completed the U-turn action, but the U-turn still wasted a lot of time, so that the Qing army using the power of the oars has rushed very close. "Let the [Ruishi] leave us alone and retreat south." Bingchensheng Tang Xin, who commanded the gunboat operation, ordered. "Everybody fight me!"

The 600-gauge ship had a rated capacity of 17 people, but in order to ensure the frequency of shooting and prevent Qing attacks, each ship participating in the battle was stuffed with 30 people, which came in handy. I saw that several sailors first rushed to the stern of the ship, unwrapped the cloth on the Thunderbolt car, two people held the bracket to turn the direction, and one person slightly mobilized the height and light, and ignited the wire while seeing the faces of the Qing army that followed clearly.

In an instant, the huge recoil force made the rigidly connected gunplate make a creaking sound, and the bullets fired one after another were like a downpour of rain to wash the blood of the first Qing army dragon in front of the sudden outburst, and the unfinished gunball penetrated the human body at the same time, but also penetrated the bottom of the thin river boat, and the moored river water poured in, and soon the long dragon that lost its grip began to roll sideways, and caused a lot of trouble to the latecomers.

Although the other Qing army express on the side saw the fate of their peers, they ran into Zheng Jun's [Warrior] regardless of it, and at the same time, the Qing army bird and archers on the fast ship shot retaliatory bullets and bows and arrows at Zheng Jun, and suddenly knocked the two Zheng army sailors who were too late to evacuate the stern of the ship to the ground in the direction of the thunderbolt car.

The Zheng army on the [Mengshi] also returned to the Qing army who tried to board the ship, because it was an old ship, so the Zheng army sailors used the old-fashioned deer guns this time, but the crooked hit was that the power of the deer guns at close range was huge, almost a projectile could penetrate the body of a Qing army wearing armor, and as for those without armor, they could knock down two or even three with one shot.

However, the prepared Qing army ships had many soldiers, and just suppressed the Qing army on the fast board, another long dragon came up again, because the fire gun still needed to be loaded, so Tang Xin, who was unable to stop the Qing army from jumping to the gang, had to drop the useless deer gun and draw his knife to meet it, and the battle quickly turned into a fierce white-knuckle battle.

"Boom!" The two sides were fighting around the deck of the [Warrior], and a cannonball fell on the adjacent river, and the huge water column not only shook the body of the [Warrior], but also overturned a civilian boat on which the Qing army was boarding, and the Qing army on the ship only sank to the bottom of the water before they had time to unload their armor, becoming the victim of the indiscriminate shelling of the Zheng army.

"Boom!" There was another huge sound of artillery bombardment, and the flying lead bullets swept over the war zone, not only breaking the foremast of the [Warrior], but also hitting a crab boat after falling, and the whole ship was smashed from it, and the Qing soldiers who hurriedly discarded their weapons and armor wailed and begged their companions to rescue, and the scene was chaotic.

The successive shelling temporarily emptied the Qing ships around the [Mengshi], and Tang Xin, who had just cut down an opponent, took the opportunity to pounce on the rudder and slammed a blow, and the [Mengshi] sharply drew a curve on the water, but due to the interruption of the mainmast, the speed of the [Mengshi] was not enough to get rid of the maggots like maggots attached to the bones.

At this time, the [Baume & Mercier] and [Coats] that had completed the turn again rushed diagonally with the wind, and before the ship arrived, the Thunderbolt Truck, which was pointing diagonally to the two wings, opened fire first, and in a crackling sound, the Qing army's inland river warships that were facing the metal storm again were forced to avoid the river banks on both sides. Seizing the opportunity, the Warrior shook off the last enemy around it and sailed towards itself with a few tiger claws and a deck of blood trapped on the side of the ship.

The Qing army was about to pursue, the artillery fire of the Zheng army came again, and the Qing army, which did not dare to face the majesty of the heavy artillery, tried to find the [Mingshi] and [Gaoshi], but the two ships obviously had a tacit understanding, and did not rush directly to the Qing army's ship group, but instead hit a bay obliquely, first rushed into the Dongxi channel, and then turned around in Dongxi, and returned to the team before the blocked Qing army

Just as the frustrated military attache of the Qing Army's naval division looked at the Zheng army who was covering each other and walked far away, the subordinates on the side said with a smile: "My lord, after this battle, the sea rebellion should not dare to re-enter the Hanjiang River. ”

The first merit? The general of the Supervising Navy Division Battalion grinned, but when he looked back at his own fleet, the smile on his face froze, yes, in front of his own advantage, Zheng Jun could still escape completely, so how could he compete with his opponent on the ocean? I can only hope that Lu Shi can fight for strength, but can such a wish come true?
