Chapter 468: Burning Quanzhou

Although Quanzhou has weakened in this era. It is not as good as the original Tang and Song dynasties. But there is still a deep nautical heritage, especially because of the convenient sea route with Dongyong. After the opening of the sea in Dongyong, Quanzhou also developed rapidly because of its unique geographical location.

However, because of the recent disruption of trade with Dongyong, the city of Quanzhou is not just depressed. On the contrary, because a large number of merchants are stranded in Quanzhou, there is a strange prosperity.

Everyone was waiting for the Francophile to retreat and continue to run to the sea.

But I didn't know that a disaster was about to happen in Quanzhou.

The sea outside the Chongwu Station.

When more than a dozen ships approached the outside of the Chongwu Institute, the soldiers inside the Chongwu Institute were considered to have discovered that the ships that suddenly came out were not merchant ships. Rather, it is the long-legendary Franc warship.

Aberqua gave the order, the ship came forward, and the artillery bombarded the dock fiercely.

It's not that Aberqua is careless, and Aberqua really doesn't know how to pay attention to it.

During the Hongwu period, Chongwu was built, and Chongwu was built to be a coastal defense important place outside Quanzhou. It's just that with the passage of time, the defense of Chongwu has become weaker and weaker, and above the tower of Chongwu, there are still artillery in the Hongwu period. Let's not talk about the level of artillery in the Hongwu period, just say that after so many years of wind and sun, these cannons have long been embroidered into a ball of rust on the city. With only a slight movement, the iron slag fell downward.

And this is only in terms of weapons, let's talk about personnel.

With the development of Dongyong, Zhu Houhuang absorbed a large number of people from Fujian, and now migrated to Dongyong's two major hometowns, namely Jiangxi and Fujian.

The reason why there are many people in Jiangxi is because of the involvement of the rebellion of King Ning, and the fact that there are many people in Fujian is that the distance between Fujian and Dongyong is too close, and Fujian is notoriously narrow and densely populated. There is a tradition of infanticidity.

As the saying goes, "Tiger poison does not eat children." "If it weren't for the desperation, no one would kill their own flesh and blood. After the true situation on Dongyong's side came out, the poor people in Fujian returned to Dongyong, which was like flowing water.

And the capable people in the military households also ran to Dongyong one after another, and they surrendered to the Dongyong army. This also indirectly weakened Fujian's military capabilities.

Seeing that Chongwu's resistance was so weak, Aberkui did not do anything, so he simply dispatched the navy ashore and attacked Chongwu.

The Chongwu Institute is a thousand-household office, and originally this thousand-household office was owned by the entire thousand-household according to the convention, and a thousand-household was organized into a thousand-household. And with the addition of the soldiers' families, there are thousands of people in total, and after several generations of reproduction, there are more than 10,000. There were several thousand more strong men. But so many people, under the attack of more than a thousand Franco, almost had the strength to fight back, but in the blink of an eye. The entire Chongwu House has changed hands.

Aberqua didn't have time to delay in Chongwu, so he burned Chongwu with a fire. The raging flames rose into the sky, and the pillar of smoke could be seen in Quanzhou City.

Aberqua quickly collected his troops and marched towards Quanzhou.

The place where Quanzhou is located is a bay. Aberqua didn't want to be here, dangerous waters for him and for them. So, so it's good to have a quick fix.

The Francophone fleet broke into Quanzhou. The merchant ships, large and small, in the bay of Quanzhou, all seemed to be frightened birds, panicked and ran around, and the fleet of Francophone aircraft went straight to Quanzhou City.

Quanzhou City, which is almost defenseless, is like a beautiful woman with open clothes, and she is ravaged by the Franco.

The Franc ships were outside the harbor, and there was a burst of bombardment. Sink all the ships that wanted to escape, as well as the ships that resisted, but after a while, no one dared to resist.

Seeing that the situation was about the same, Aberqua said, "Set fire to the ship." ”

This time, Aberqua was prepared to tow a fireship behind the battleship, which was also inspired by Aberqua's setting fire to the ship. Several large and small ships were captured along the coast, all piled with ignition materials. At this moment, he let it go out and slammed into the ships on the dock, the raging fire ignited violently, the fire spread, and the ships that were densely packed became the culprit.

I saw the fire come out. The boats on the dock in Quanzhou reacted, and some people immediately jumped out of the boat and ran to the shore. However, their ship was about to be destroyed.

But there are still people who sacrifice their lives and money. Set up your own boat, and rush out. It's just that the fleet of Franc planes is blocked outside, and any ships that break through are immediately stopped or smashed to pieces under artillery bombardment.

The flames spread, and the harbor was set on fire. The raging fire spread from the dock to the outside of Quanzhou.

In the entire port of Quanzhou, hundreds of ships, large and small, were all burned into a sea of fire.

Seeing that the fire was out of control, Aberqua smiled lightly and said, "Retreat." ”

Under the command of Aberqua, the fleet of Franc aircraft retreated in turn.

It was several hours after the Franc fleet retreated.

Only then did the ships from the nearby guard post come to the outside of Quanzhou City. However, at this time, the fire in Quanzhou City was no longer replicable. They could only wander outside, not daring to step forward.

The fire in Quanzhou City shocked the whole of Fujian.

Originally, I had peace of mind and waited for Dongyong to come for help. It's just that I never thought that the Francophone people would actually attack Dongyong, but instead come to attack Fujian.

How some people persuade. I won't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Only when I gave them a deep understanding could I understand this truth. Like now.

"Bastard. The fire in Quanzhou, such a big thing, how can this seat explain to His Majesty? Luo Lun said angrily.

Fujian has participated in politics left and right, and has also set up political envoys, and has been officials at all levels. They all knelt down and listened to Luo Lun say: "General Mu, you immediately have a water master, this seat must see the head of the leader of the Franco, if you can't bring it back, you can bring it up."

"Yes." General Mu was sweating profusely. He bowed his head and said, "Yes, the lower official will go, and the lower official will go." ”

Luo Lun was angry on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.

The contradiction between the civil official and the eunuch has not been a day, and Luo Lun has long been unbearable for the yang and yin of the people below. But he didn't have a good idea.

At this moment, the fire in Quanzhou, on the bright side, is a big disaster for the upper and lower levels of Fujian Province, but secretly, Luo Lun feels very happy.

The fire in Quanzhou did not damage one person, but lost the strength of the entire Fujian Haoqiang. In particular, the strength of the entire bureaucracy. Roren reaped the consequences for them. It was very painful.

Moreover, the fire in Quanzhou is probably the biggest news in the entire 15 years of Zhengde. The Jingshi side will definitely send someone to hold them accountable, and when the time comes, Luo Lun will be able to take this opportunity to clean up a large number of officialdom in Fujian.

As soon as he thought of this, Luo Lun felt very happy.

Luo Lun sent everyone up and down Fujian away. When I was secretly rejoicing. A man whispered a few words beside Luo Lun. Luo Lun smiled lightly and said, "Let him in." ”

An old man came in and knelt on the ground and said, "Meet my father-in-law." ”

This old man is the old man in the family sent by Wei Dalin.

Luo Lun smiled lightly and said: "I promised your master, I have done it, from tomorrow, Fujian will be running for the Francophone people." ”

"Thank you, thank you, father-in-law." The old servant of the Wei family said.

Luo Lun said: "Don't thank me, if it weren't for the people of Franc to do such things in Quanzhou, I wouldn't have driven them so easily." However," Luo Lun's tone changed, and he said: "The Franco machine can't come to the sea, and I also ask your Lord Wei to send troops quickly to eradicate these scourges." ”

"Father-in-law, it's not that my family doesn't want to do their best, and the main forces of the Dongyong Water Division are all in Nanyang, and it is not easy to do this. I also ask my father-in-law for some time. ”

"No, I don't forgive." The corners of Luo Lun's mouth hooked, revealing a cruel smile, and said: "This matter has become a big problem, even if it is your prince, he can't hold it." If you don't clean it up quickly, I don't dare to guarantee that your prince will not be punished. ”

The old servants of the Wei family are also very important, and such a big matter as Quanzhou is not something that a mere eunuch can suppress. If things are not handled well, His Royal Highness King Yong may really be implicated.
