General Zhaowu, Admiral of the Yangtze River Inland River Fleet, and Bo Huang Chuxu of Xi'an (Quxian) appeared as decrepit during most of his service in the sailors before and after the founding of the Great Xia, not because he was the oldest, but because among a group of Boy Scout generals who regarded the tactics of soft sailing gunboats as the standard of naval warfare, Admiral Huang, who came from the era of broadside tactics and old-fashioned slow sea ships, was too different. So much so that before serving as the Admiral of the River Fleet, General Huang Lao had been engaged in some lessons such as reserve military attachés, newly recruited sailors' on-board training, and voyage training in the naval division for a long time. It wasn't until the power of the Ming Zheng regime at that time expanded from the sea to the six major rivers in the interior that the old general got rid of the embarrassment of only watching the new generation make contributions-

"The Biography of the Generals at the Beginning of the Nation? Huang Chuxu

Looking at the rolling water of the Yangtze River under his feet, standing on the deck of the newly built 20-gun large red single ship Parrot Zhou, Huang Chuxu, who is nearly 50 years old, seems to have some ups and downs. Yes, as Liu Guoxuan's old subordinate, although Huang Chuxu has not been repeatedly excluded in the Dongning Navy Division after entering the Zheng Kezang era, his status is always embarrassing - he has the highest rank, and he watched Ma Ying and Gong Tian, young generals who can be called hairless on their lips, always press on top of him, how can the taste in his heart be good - fortunately, now that the embarrassment of this qiē has passed, should he finally have the opportunity to take charge of himself and set his future goals a little higher?

"Junmen," Huang Chuxu was in the Eight Extremes of the Fugue, when a staff officer came over and reported. "The front is Chongming Island, and Commander Zhang of the Zhenjiang battalion came to ask for instructions, whether he is ready to cover the sailors to board 6."

The Yangtze River Fleet, which is of the same level as the Eastern, Southern, and Western Oceanic Fleets, also has a sub-fleet and a naval division under the structure, but the sub-fleet of the Yangtze River Fleet is named a certain battalion, and the naval division is also renamed a naval division to show the difference between inland rivers and foreign oceans. However, the real difference is not in the change of some names, but in the number of ships under the jurisdiction of each detachment (large battalion) - since the red single ships of the river fleet are all under 3,000 materials, usually a large battalion has at least forty to eighty warships of various sizes, far more than the number of soft sailing gunboats under the jurisdiction of the foreign detachment - but no matter how different the number is, one thing is the same, that is, whether it is the river fleet or the ocean-going fleet, more guns are better than fewer guns. The broadside tactics of heavy artillery defeating light artillery have replaced the tactics of seizing ships over ships, and have deeply penetrated into the blood of Zheng's naval division.

Huang Chuxu, who came to his senses, immediately nodded and said: "Give the flag to Zhang Yaowu, and immediately cover the sailors to climb 6." ”

The rumbling sound of cannon was heard, and from the position where Huang Chuxu was standing, it could be seen through the clairvoyance that several smaller red single boats had been attached to the edge of the shallows and fired scattered cannonballs at the island. However, as Huang Chuxu expected, the battle did not break out on the shore, and the Qing army, which had learned its lesson, obviously focused on the center of the island.

"Actually, it's better to cut off the northern channel directly." Huang Chuxu muttered in his heart, but he also understood that this was an impossible task, and he could only blame the distance between the north of Chongming Island and Tongzhou, Jiangbei, which was too close, and the Qing army could float over to the island as long as they built two wooden boats or simply rafts, but even if the Zheng army's sailors were stationed on the island, they could not stop it. "You can't waste too much time here." Huang Chuxu secretly made up his mind. "Give the flag to Zhang Yaowu, after boarding 6, leave a team of escort transport ships to return to Taicang, and the rest immediately return to Zhenjiang, damn it, this is obviously a matter of the Oriental Fleet, but I want Lao Tzu to wipe their butts for them, it's really a bastard."

Huang Chuxu said right, although the main force of the Oriental Fleet still remained in the Zhoushan Islands, but after the abolition of the Daqushan Governor's Office, Zheng Kezhang re-established the Song (Jiang, Shang) Haidu Governor's Office to be responsible for the defense of the Yangtze River estuary, not only that, but the defense areas of the naval division to which the Oriental Fleet belonged were also in Ningbo and Songjiang, but in fact, the Zhenjiang battalion should not undertake this mission.

The staff officer on the side pretended to be unclear and asked, "Junmen, do you want to go out of the damn sentence?" ”

Huang Chuxu glanced at the other party angrily, and then suddenly laughed: "Why not, another one, inform the whole army, finish it early, go back for the New Year early"

The time is approaching the New Year, but there is no trace of festive atmosphere in the palace of King Gyeongdeokshou of Joseon, not only the slaves and maids are cautious, but even the faces of those leaders who were hurriedly led into the palace gate by the palace people are also solemn.

Soon, in the Jizuo Hall where Gwanghaejun and Injo succeeded to the throne, Li Zhuo, who had been on the throne for 20 years, appeared in front of the courtiers with a pale face, but the Korean ministers who attacked each other because of Concubine Min's redetermination movement were sitting there with their noses and noses and hearts at the moment, without the slightest intention of taking the initiative to stand up and speak.

After a long time, the king of the dynasty, who had made a mess of household and state affairs, finally couldn't help it: "The Ming army captured the entire Jeju and expelled the officials of this dynasty, all the secretaries already know, how to deal with it now, the secretary will come out with a charter." ”

As soon as Li Yu's voice landed, Zuo Yizheng Xu Wenzhong said: "The Ming envoy has informed me that the DPRK wants to lease the entire Jeju and promise a lot of rent, but it has been blocked by some people who are short-sighted, and now the Ming people have taken it by themselves, what should I do?" Send troops to take it back? The Ming people's boat armor is in the world, I am Wen Tian Wu frolic, how can I face the Ming people's artillery fire, in case the sword soldiers are really moved, the Ming people do not do two and do not stop dominating Jeju Road and do not return, how about my court, so the minister thinks that it is better to push the boat along the river and agree to lend, and it is also possible to prevaricate the northern captives on the grounds of the Ming people's forcible occupation. ”

From the meaning of these words, it can be clearly heard that Xu Wenzhong, the left councilor, is a pro-Ming faction, so Hu Cao Shen judge (Shilang) Zhang Xizai is very dissatisfied and said: "I treat the Ming people well, and I have helped them in danger several times, but the Ming people do not think of reciprocating, but they forcibly seized my dynasty Jeju, which is almost similar to the barbarians of the Northern Dynasty, and should be severely reprimanded, how can it be so indulgent." ”

"Is a few innocuous rebukes useful?" Although Jin Changji, the chief secretary of the Westerner Party, did not see the activities of the younger generation against the Xi concubine Zhang, he was also quite dissatisfied with Zhang's relatives' control of the government, so as soon as he heard Zhang Xizai's words, he immediately jumped out to oppose it. "Besides, it is rumored that Ying Tianfu has long had the ambition to be reckless, even if he is not, he will be as rebellious as the Cui family, such a person, is a few words of reprimand useful?"

Seeing that Zhang Xizai was annoyed and ashamed and ready to jump up to fight, Cui Xiding, the great priest on the side, hurriedly came out to ease the situation, but although his intentions were good, the content of the mention was a little unbounded: "Can you let the princess persuade King Xia in the ear?" It may be possible to have a clear statement about the belonging of Jeju. ”

"There is only one version of the Zheng family, that is, before the Northern Expedition, Jeju was borrowed as a horse farm." Later, Shen Qi, who was crowned the king of Pingchuan Mansion and the left favor of Wenzhuang, shook his head and said. "Can you be trusted? is somewhat credible, Daming is rich in resources, and there will be no shortage of our small Jeju, not to mention that the lack of good horse farms in Jiangnan is also a well-known thing. But will Liu Bei borrow Jingzhou or not? The minister thought that if the Ming people could return Jeju in the future, then they would turn a blind eye. ”

Li Ji seized the loophole in Shen Qi's sentence and asked: "What if this Zheng family, like the Mongol Tartars back then, wants to occupy Jeju forever?" ”

"Even if the Zheng family intends to occupy Jeju for a long time, then the dynasty will be able to let it go." Shen Qi's reply caused a commotion in the room, but Shen Qi continued seemingly unconsciously. "I am very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has not forgotten to restore the country for it, although all kinds of things here are loyal, but they may not violate the taboo of King Xia, and there may not be no warning to take Jeju." As soon as these words came out, the small sound in the room was immediately heard, and everyone was considering whether such a possibility was possible, so only Shen Lian's voice echoed in the room. "However, this dynasty and King Xia are in-laws after all, and this point may be explained by Princess Guò, so the only thing left is the problem of Jeju." Shen Qi looked up at Li Zhuo. "Your Majesty, the minister said a word of arrogance, since Jeju is a land of exiles, King Xia should give it to him if he wants, and the rent is not as good as this dynasty to fund the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, so you can also get a personal favor from King Xia, and there may not be no compensation in the future."

Gift? Compensate? The minds of all the Korean ministers were open, yes, Korea was facing the sea on three sides, and only to the north was to expand, so when they thought of the Kwantung Plain that fell into the hands of the Qing court, and when they thought that Zheng Kezhang might use it as compensation for the occupation of Jeju in the future, the Korean monarchs and ministers who had always peeped into the northeast could not hold themselves like a hundred scratching hearts.

"Then send an envoy to Jeju and Yingcheon immediately." Li Zhuo made a decision immediately, and his decision was naturally acquiesced in by the courtiers in front of him. "Inform the Zheng family of our decision, and say that the determination of this dynasty to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, but please take care of this dynasty a little after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Your Majesty, you still need to send someone to Fujing." Xu Wenzhong reminded. "I have forgotten to send the Zhengdan envoy to congratulate me, so this time I must not miss it, otherwise King Xia's face will not look good."

Yes, Zheng Kezhang has not openly usurped the Ming Dynasty now, as a courtier of the Zhu family, he can not ask the Korean who has not yet officially called the minister Nagong to worship on time, but he will never be happy that the envoys of the foreign vassal will casually bypass the puppet court and deal directly with him, after all, this will make his image of a disobedient further public.

Li Zhuo, who was also a little clever, immediately made a flexible decision: "The envoy will first go to Jeju to inform the decision of this dynasty, and then go to Fujing to pay homage to Emperor Ming, and then pass through Yingtian to personally report to King Xia when he returns." ”

Li Yan's voice landed, and Zhang Xizai immediately spoke: "The minister sponsors the right deputy Chengzheng of the Chengzheng Yuan (Zhengsanpintang) Li Ximing is the main envoy of the mission, and the government (Zhengsipin) Sheren Jin Yijing is the deputy envoy. ”

Zhang Xizai's thoughts, how could the people present not understand, and someone immediately followed and said: "Sponsored by the minister"
