Chapter 654: Transporting troops by sea

"The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

Zhang Jing is full of passion for ambition.

In his eyes, pirates are actually nothing more than Erer, so it is called the same is the same for the Japanese Invaders, his biggest enemy, never the Japanese Invaders, but his own people, in fact, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has set up a series of coastal defense posts, if it is not for the fact that these coastal defense stations are all rotten to the point of being vulnerable, how can these Japanese Bandits be so rampant.

What embarrassed him even more was that he had to rely on the state's economic system to resist the Japanese invaders, otherwise it would be a failure. He couldn't form a new army if he wanted to, which is why Zhang Jing used Minzhuang, Jiading, and Ya Servant as the main force to resist the Japanese invaders.

This is a strange circle, the guards can't resist the Japanese invaders, but to deal with the Japanese invaders, you can only use the soldiers of the state economic system, the soldiers of the national economic system, and there are only the soldiers of the guard in the local area. If he used the army outside the guard, he would be very wrong. Therefore, Zhang Jing can only use the people. However, after Zhang Jing took up the post of military preparation, his power increased greatly and he could intervene militarily in the army. It's much better than being a prefect.

When Zhang Jing took office here,

Yao Qian and Shen Xiyi delayed for several days before they received the holy decree.

Yao Wei let out a sigh of relief, although they are both governors, but the gold content of the governor of Guangxi and the governor of Zhejiang is different.

Yao Qian summoned Shen Xiyi and said, "The saint is urgent, what do you think?" ”

Now Yao Qian looks at Shen Xiyi differently, although in the south of Zhennanguan and north of the Red River, a large area of territory is occupied by Tusi, and it is only one-twelfth of the counties that are classified as prefectures, but in any case, this is to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that there is a place in half a province, even if it is in the hands of the toast for the time being, if you have kung fu in the future, you can slowly cook these toasts.

His opinion of Shen Xiyi is that Shen Xiyi is not only a general, but also a handsome talent. So he wanted to ask Shen Xiyi's opinion on major matters.

Shen Xiyi said: "Zhejiang's form of erosion is so fast, beyond our expectations, if we go late, I'm afraid the situation will not be easy to clean up." It should be as fast as possible, but from Guangxi to Zhejiang, it is thousands of miles away. It must be a few months, and if you want to get to Zhejiang as quickly as possible, you must take the sea route. ”

"By sea?" Yao Qian frowned and said, "How can you do it?" You must know that King Yong is on the sea. ”

Others don't know, doesn't Shen Xiyi himself know? Regardless of the East China Sea or the South China Sea, the only overlord is His Royal Highness King Yong himself. It is absolutely impossible to transport troops at sea without alarming His Royal Highness King Yong. If King Yong has bad intentions. The soldiers of the sea can simply die and live.

Shen Xiyi said: "My lord, even if we avoid the sea, but with the strength of King Yong at sea, the affairs of Zhejiang must be agreed by King Yong." Otherwise, nothing can be done? ”

Yao Yan was a little uncomfortable and said, "A mere vassal king, is it so powerful?" ”

Shen Xiyi said: "My lord, the Japanese are no better than the bandits, the nest of the Japanese is on the sea, and there are hundreds of Dongyong warships, more than 1,000 artillery, and a sailor of this scale is rampant on the sea, if he doesn't want us to suppress the bandits, we can't do anything." Even, the last general has a suspicion---"

"Your suspicions go without saying." Yao Yan waved his hand and stopped what Shen Xiyi wanted to say.

Yao Qian has been in the Nine Sides, has been in the Southwest, and has a little experience in fighting on land, but this experience cannot be applied to the sea, but he chose to believe Shen Xiyi, the reason why he stopped Shen Xiyi from saying it was that he had already guessed what Shen Xiyi wanted to say? How to say it, it's okay to doubt Yao Ming's military ability, but it's not okay to doubt Yao Wei's political sensitivity.

Anyone who can become a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level still has the most basic political sensitivity.

Yao Yan didn't need Shen Xiyi to say, he had already guessed what Shen Xiyi was going to say? It's nothing more than that there is King Yong's command behind the widows. Yao Wei didn't believe that there was no command of King Yong behind the widows, but the affairs of the royal family, just guess it, some things can't be done, some can't be done, and can't be said.

"Okay, you take a boat from Guangzhou to Zhejiang, but pay attention to safety." Yao Yan pondered for a while.

He finally decided.

He wants to test Dongyong, as the governor of Zhejiang, he will have to deal with these Japanese robbers in the future, and whether there is King Yong behind them is a very important issue.

"However, there is still no big arrangement at sea, as a pioneer, you should bring a little less soldiers." Yao said.

Shen Xiyi didn't know if she guessed what Yao Qian meant, and said: "Yes, the original intention of the last general is not to bring too many people, only five thousand from the headquarters." ”

It's not that Shen Xiyi looks down on the widow, but she doesn't look down on him at all.

In Shen Xiyi, the most difficult thing to deal with is not the ability to fight on land, but the ability to fight in water. As long as the two sides fight in an upright field, Shen Xiyi doesn't think that he will lose, but the problem is that the pirates are all in a group, scattered, and have no purpose, and wander around. That's going to be hard.

"When are these pirates coming together, let me catch them." Shen Xiyi thought.

As soon as Yao Yi's order was given, Shen Xiyi gathered his subordinates, set off from Guilin, went to Wuzhou, took a boat from Wuzhou, and went north along the coastline.

If so, Shen Xiyi will definitely be troubled. Moreover, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Dongyong is likely to break out, if not, no matter how these Japanese robbers leave, it will only be a disease of scabies.

Dongyong's surveillance of the sea is particularly strict, especially when near the strait.

Soon the news reached Huang Shilong's ears, and Huang Shilong transferred it to Zhu Houhuang.

Most of the Dongyong merchant ships have gone south and rely on spice transshipment to maintain personnel, but there are not many Dongyong fishing boats, and this time they were discovered by fishing boats.

Zhu Houhuang looked at the information and said secretly in his heart: "Should he really believe me?" ”

When Zhu Houhuang saw the name Shen Xiyi, he couldn't help but feel a sense of eagerness to try, Shen Xiyi's experience of cutting a piece of meat from Zhu Houhuang's plate made it difficult for Zhu Houhuang to have a good impression of him. has the opportunity to pit him, Zhu Houhuang can't help but want to give it a try.

"Your Highness, the sea is very stormy. A lot of ships are going to have accidents. Huang Shilong said.

"Don't mess around." Zhu Houhuang said. Doesn't he know Huang Shilong yet? He is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. When he had the opportunity to pit the other side, he was unrelenting.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Looking at their cautious appearance, they are all boating along the coastline, once something is discovered, can you guarantee to kill them?" Even if you can kill it, there are many things that don't need evidence. Gu didn't want to make a fuss today, so he sent someone to remind them to get off the boat in Fujian, and when they arrived in the waters of Zhejiang, Dongyong Sailor would not be able to guarantee their safety, and don't buckle the basin on Lone's head when the time comes. ”

Huang Shilong said: "Yes." ”

In fact, although Huang Shilong has a grudge against many gods over there, it is not that he does not know the severity, the reason why he said this is nothing more than to show his loyalty to Zhu Houhuang again. As soon as Zhu Houhuang confessed, he immediately sent someone to do it.

Therefore, Shen Xiyi's ship, as soon as it entered the strait, met a battleship of the Dongyong Naval Division.

"My lord, come and see." Shen Xiyi came to the bow of the ship, and saw a warship rushing over with full sails from a distance, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see the large and small gun windows above, and for a while Shen Xiyi couldn't count how many guns there were. The five-mast ship is much longer than the Fukubune, and the side of the ship is much higher than that of the Fukubune, and it looks like a mountain peak has pressed over it.

The ships where Shen Xiyi is located are all three-masted ships, because they have to transport 5,000 soldiers and weapons, there are more than that, there are dozens of ships, large and small, but the combat effectiveness of these ships is all scum compared to the one in front of them. There is simply no comparison.
