Chapter 203: Pirates Help in the War

Luo Meiwei and Zheng Yan'er nodded seriously.

"Ha Lu Ha, Fei'er, there is a guest at home, how can I not inform my father! It's been a long time since you've been so happy! Wu Shaorong slowly approached the pavilion and said to Wu Fangfei.

Luo Meiwei and Zheng Yan'er got up to say hello: "My niece has seen my uncle!" ”

Wu Fangfei generously introduced: "Daddy, these two are the concubines of the emperor's elder brother, and they are also my good sisters!" ”

Wu Shaorong was taken aback, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Wu Shaorong, a grass man, has seen two mothers!" ”

Luo Meiwei's face blushed and replied: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite, the emperor hasn't officially accepted us into the palace, and the title of mother is still too early. ”

Wu Shaorong replied: "Please rest assured, the grass people will be tight-lipped and will never spread the word!" ”

Wu Fangfei pulled her father and said to Luo Meiwei: "Look at you scared my father, be careful that I report to the emperor's brother." ”

Luo Meiwei pulled Wu Fangfei to sit down and said, "Sister is strange, my sister is also thinking about the emperor's reputation!" ”

Wu Shaorong was restless, the two mothers came to the Wu family, he should be entertained well, so he made an excuse and said: "Fei'er, accompany the two mothers well and prepare for my father to go back." ”

Wu Fangfei pulled Luo Meiwei and Zheng Yan'er to get up, and said, "Let's talk in my boudoir, we are always disturbed here!" ”

Zheng Yan'er smiled: "It's just right, I also want to hear which Ruyi Langjun hooked his sister's soul, if he can't satisfy me and Sister Luo, he doesn't want to hug the beauty!" ”

Wu Fangfei patted her chest. said proudly: "He is a man who stands up to the sky, you can't envy him!" ”

"What's his name?"

"Huang Qiying!"

When Lin Zexu was the governor of Liangjiang, he saw with his own eyes that the new warships of the foreigners could attack the enemy ten miles away. However, the warships of the Guangdong Navy Division also used breech guns, which lagged far behind the West, and ordered Guangdong to copy several new warships with broadside guns. He also deliberately set up a small arsenal in Guangzhou, and summoned advanced craftsmen to imitate and study firearms, which was fruitful, Lin Zexu was dismissed from office and confiscated into the army, and the craftsmen were entrusted by some enlightened people. Until Zuo Zongtang captured Guangzhou, he fully accepted and introduced them to work in the Nanjing Engineer Factory.

The Green Battalion Guangdong Naval Division was first formed in 1664, and the Admiral of the Naval Division was stationed in Huizhou; It was abolished in 1668 due to the calm of the seaside. In 1809, he was reinstated as Admiral of the Water Division. Stationed in Humen. Its direct subordinate troops are divided into five battalions: front, rear, left, right, and center, and also have jurisdiction over the naval division battalion, the fourth battalion, and the new battalion. The Admiral of the Navy Division is stationed in Huizhou, and has jurisdiction over the left and right battalions of the Xiangshan Association and the left and right battalions of the Shunde Association. The left and right camps of the new association. The left and right camps of Dapeng Association, the left and right camps of Chixi Association, the right camp of Qingyuan, the Guanghai Zhai camp, the Yongjing camp, etc. There are also 'local troops' Nanao Town Right Battalion, Chenghai Association, Haimen Battalion, Dahao Battalion, Jieshi Town Standard 3rd Battalion, Pinghai Battalion.

On the rough sea, Wu Yuanyou looked around with a telescope, looked at the one hundred and ten large and small warships around, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, since the Han army captured Liangguang, the Guangdong naval division led by him has become a rootless wanderer, there is nowhere to supply food, and the source of troops cannot be replenished, if it were not for the strong stop of the governor Bai Gui, he would have led the fleet to Tianjin.

Wu Yuanyou died at the age of seven on both parents, adopted by the landlord of the same village, treated as a child worker, a few years later, because of dissatisfaction with the landlord's abuse and ran away, in the village by working a short time to live, eleven or twelve years old look burly and extraordinary, fifteen years old can be self-reliant, after marriage has a wife to take care of housework, he took time to learn martial arts, let him have no teacher, practice a strong martial arts, adult help cast Haikou sailor, repeatedly made military achievements, a few years on the promotion of deputy general.

Xu Guangjin, the governor of Liangjiang, particularly appreciated Wu Yuanyou, and promoted him as the admiral of the Guangdong Navy.

Bai Gui slowly walked out of the cabin, he has gradually become accustomed to life at sea, for most of the year, he has been constantly letting the sailors harass the coastal towns of Guangdong, every half month to report to Beijing, Emperor Xianfeng believed it, promoted him to the governor of Liangguang, and crowned Wu Yuanyou as the general of Zhengyi Jianwei.

"The general is good Yaxing, enjoy the sea view here early in the morning." Bai Gui yawned and came to Wu Yuanyou's side.

Wu Yuanyou put away his messy thoughts, looked at the sea, and replied: "I heard that the Han fleet is coming to Guangzhou, as long as they are annihilated, we can leave the South China Sea, I think the emperor will no longer blame the loss of Guangdong." ”

Bai Gui didn't want to live at sea anymore, he didn't go back to Beijing because he lost Guangdong, and he was afraid that the emperor would ask for his guilt, if he could annihilate some Han warships, he could make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, and his name as the governor of Guangzhou was also more comfortable.

"Yes! The first few times were petty fights, but if this time he really made a contribution, the general's future is immeasurable! ”

Wu Yuanyou replied: "Wu's official position is already a good product, what else can I do, as long as the emperor doesn't blame, Wu will be grateful." ”

Bai Gui smiled silently, he always felt unsteady in the South China Sea, the land of the dragon is in the northeast, I don't know how far away from here, he always feels a kind of loneliness, even if he dies, he has to die in his hometown.

On an island ten miles south of the Qing Army's naval division, Bu Xingyou and Cui Apu also watched with binoculars in their hands.

"I didn't expect the Qing army to have only so many warships left? It seems that the odds are quite high this time! Bu Xingyou put down the telescope and said excitedly. According to his understanding, the Guangdong naval division should be equipped with 400 warships and 20,000 soldiers, but the naval division on the sea is less than a quarter of the heyday.

Cui Apu said with a smile: "The Qing army has thrown itself into the net, it deserves to be unlucky, it was they who united with foreigners to destroy my fleet in the first place, and today we must take the opportunity to take revenge!" ”

Bu Xingyou looked at the calm sea, looked around with a telescope again, and asked: "Senior Commander Cui, are you mistaken, how can there be pirates around here, you boasted about Haikou in front of Commander Tang, saying that you can summon thousands of pirates to help in the war, if you break your promise, not only will you be punished, but your face will not look good!" ”

Cui Apu smiled confidently, pointed to the sea and explained: "I have issued a command flag, as long as the pirates who have accepted my favor, they will come to help in the battle, this battle is also their only chance to be good, I don't think they will miss it, go, I will take you to the lair to see." ”

Bu Xingyou exclaimed: "Isn't it a convergence on this island? ”

"You've been kicked in the head by a donkey! There is nothing to hide on this island, and if the foreign warships find out, they will not ask for their own hardship, who would want to risk running here. Cui Apu walked ahead and led the guards onto the boat.

Cui Apu and Bu Xingyou took a small warship, left the island, and continued south.

"There is a place called a line of heaven ahead, where the danger is abnormal, the surrounding cliffs are forested, the sides are narrow, only one boat is allowed to pass, Lao Tzu wanted to ambush the ghosts here, but unfortunately they were not fooled!"

The ship sailed into the sky, and the sky suddenly became gray, and there was a roar of ghosts and wolves howling around, and Bu Xingyou was afraid for a while.

Cui Apu clapped his hands and laughed: "Hearing such a chaotic sound, you can know that they have all arrived, and if you can recruit these pirates, it will be in vain." ”

Cui Apo came to the first seat amid the cheers of all the pirate leaders, and a rectangular table was surrounded by pirates, all of whom looked at Cui Apo with reverence.

Bu Xing saw that the pirate leaders behaved differently, and among them there were even a mixture of foreigners, all of whom had tigers on their backs, and their bronzed muscles were like iron plates embedded in their bodies, and if they were on land, they could all be ten with one.

The pirate leader Ah Pu got up, raised his hands and shook slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and announced loudly: "Back then, the ghost guys sent troops to attack our pirates, and it was Brother Cui who attracted their firepower in front, so that we little minions could retreat safely, this kindness we have always kept in our hearts, as soon as I saw Brother Cui's order flag, I put down everything and came to converge!" Brother Cui! If there is anything you command, just tell me. ”

Cui Apu got up, said with his hands in his fists, and said loudly: "Thank you brothers for your love, time is pressing, this time the brothers are indeed having a big deal!" ”

"Brother Cui, please speak!" Many pirate investors cheered in unison.

Cui Apu took a deep breath and said: "Don't hide it from the brothers, I, Cui Apu, have taken refuge in the Han Dynasty, these days, the Han Navy Division is going to fight a decisive battle with the Qing Army Water Division, Cui Mou came this time to hope that the brothers can help and besiege the Qing Army Navy Division together!" ”

"This ...... What can I do? The pirate leaders looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Cui Apu frowned, disappointed, he didn't expect that after a few years of his departure, the pirates didn't even abide by the word righteousness.

Ah Pu got up and explained: "Brother Cui doesn't know, Sha Wuzai defected to the Qing army a few years ago, and now he is in the position of the chief soldier, if we help Brother Cui, won't we be against Sha Wuzai!" At the beginning, Sha Wu Tsai was also kind to us. ”

Cui Apu secretly scolded Sha Wuzai for seeing something different, when the Qing army recruited An, everyone refused together, swearing never to serve the Qing Dynasty, but he was still recruited.

Bu Xingyou stood by and listened for a long time, and he knew that he had also heard of the name of Sha Wu Tsai, a pirate leader on the same level as Cui Apu.

Cui Apu had an idea, and said with a forced smile: "You should have concerns, but before coming, I have already contacted Sha Wuzai, and he promised to fight against the Qing Dynasty together, so you should think about it again." ”

Ah Pu patted the table and said loudly: "Since the two elder brothers are willing to oppose the Qing Dynasty, I, Ah Pu, swear to follow!" ”

"My buffalo is willing to follow!"

"I do, too!"

"I do, too!"

……

According to Cui Apu's statistics, the pirates have more than 600 large and small warships and more than 7,000 crew members. (To be continued......)
