The heavy snow in early winter came very violently, but the three days of hard work had buried half of the trees, Xiao Ye accompanied by the eldest grandson Yu to visit Yingzhou City, and the group had unconsciously arrived at the West Lake in Yingzhou.

"The world says that Yuhang West Lake and Yangtze West Lake are the only two West Lake scenery in the Central Plains, and today I see the beautiful scenery of Yingzhou West Lake, which is not inferior to those two places, which is really unforgettable! What does Brother Yu think? ”

Changsun Yu knew that Xiao Ye was ordering Changsun Clan's attitude, since Xiao Ye arrived in Yingzhou from Luzhou, Changsun Ji has been saying that he is not sick, but Changsun Ji has no obstacle to the recovery of Jinling, and let his son Changsun Yu fully cooperate.

"Your Royal Highness, although Yingzhou West Lake is good, where can it compare to the style of Jinling, the minister thinks that the beautiful scenery of Yingzhou West Lake is just a passing cloud." The eldest grandson Yu also replied with a cryptic reply.

Xiao Ye was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Brother Yu, this king has decided to recover Jinling before the New Year, and he also asks the eldest grandson and the old general to cooperate. ”

Eldest Sun Yu looked shocked, this guy is really bold! It is taboo to use troops in the cold winter, but the one in front of him doesn't care, but also, everyone feels that it is not suitable to use troops, and it is a good way to use troops at this time.

"Your Highness is the Supervisor, you ordered, the Changsun clan and its soldiers and horses should accompany you, recover Jinling, and restore the old capital is what our Daning courtiers have been looking forward to for many years!" Eldest Sun Yu didn't understand Xiao Ye's specific thoughts, but it was always right to say something flattering.

"Okay, the promise of Brother Yu is also relieved, let's go have a drink, we can't live up to the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, right?"

Although Xiao Ye's invitation to Changsun Yu didn't want to go, it was not easy to refuse.

Xia Wenyu at sea can be described as calm and relaxed, and the heavy snow on the ground did not affect Xia Wenyu's fleet travel at all.

Xia Wenyu sat on the bow of the ship and let the wind and snow wreak havoc on him, Xia Wenyu was ordered to solve the East China Sea Fleet at sea, but in fact, he accepted the secret edict from the Shutai and His Majesty, and wanted to properly put some East China Sea Fleet back to the mainland, so that there would be an excuse to send troops to the East China Sea mainland.

The East China Sea is an island country, mainly composed of five major islands, of which nine islands, East China Sea Island, Ming Island, Anhe Island are not far away, only the fishing island is far away from the mainland, the fishing island was originally a subject country of the Central Plains before the previous dynasty, and then the Central Plains civil strife had no time to take care of the fishing island, so that the East China Sea people took advantage of the loophole, Xia Wenyu's main purpose of going to sea in the wind this time is to reoccupy the fishing island, as a springboard for the future conquest of the four islands in the East China Sea.

"Master Hou, we are still about three days away from the fishing island, Zhuo Hou on the right side sent someone to ask, the wind and snow are too large and the route is not smooth, is it to repair for two days and wait for the heavy snow to stop before traveling?" State security personnel accompanying the army reported.

Xia Wenyu didn't rush to answer, but asked faintly: "Guo Hou, where have they been, can they be contacted?" ”

"Uh, Hou Hou, there was contact with Guo Hou before the snow, and they had already set off, and they should have arrived at Bay Island in the future, but then because of the heavy wind and snow, the contact was interrupted."

"Well, where are the remnants of the East China Sea Fleet now?" Xia Wenyu then asked.

"Xiahou, Luan Hou just sent someone to deliver a letter, they have surrounded the remnants of the East China Sea, to fight or not?" Du pre-smiled and came out of the cabin, and the wind and snow got into his neck, making him a thriller and shrink his neck.

Seeing Du Pre come out, Xia Wenyu got up and walked forward quickly to help Du Pre, frowning and saying strangely: "Du Hou, your health is not good, why do you come out this day!" ”

"Xiahou is serious, Du is also a member of Jiaolong, it is not a problem to hide in the cabin all day, although it has been heavy snow in the past two days, but the recovery is not bad, I will come out to take a look when Luan Hou's report comes." Du Yu said while coughing lightly.

"You are going to sea with illness this time, I have long said that you don't want to come, you want to come, alas! Really! "Since the establishment of Jiaolong, Xia Wenyu's relationship with everyone has always relied on Du Pre to maintain, and the sufficiency of the entire Jiaolong's food, grass, ordnance and materials also depends on Du Pre, so Xia Wenyu's concern for Du Pre is sincere.

"Xiahou, I can hold on, now the implementation of His Majesty's secret order is crucial, there are less than ten warships left in the East China Sea, and now they are all besieged by Luan Hou, according to the previous practice, we should let them continue to move eastward, however, we are almost arriving at the fishing island, is it not necessary to do this, always distracted to deal with those miscellaneous things, it affects the mood of the brothers very much!"

After Xia Wenyu listened to Du Pre's words, he fell into deep thought, what Du Pre said was not unreasonable, the way to raise thieves along the way was to trace the traces of the escape of the East China Sea people, so as to attack the East China Sea in the future.

"Now I'm just chasing them to touch the route of the fishing island, and the fishing island is still some distance from the mainland of the East China Sea, and put it again?" Xia Wenyu also hesitated.

"The subordinates feel that there is no need to let it go anymore, the people of Yudao are my Central Plains subordinates, they have been ravaged by the East China Sea for many years, it is estimated that they can't bear it for a long time, as long as we successfully take Yudao, Yudao will have someone to lead the way for us, and now is the time of heavy snowfall, we really have to go to Yudao to rest and recuperate." Du Yu said his opinion, and most of the angles he stood on were still considered by the soldiers.

Xia Wenyu smashed his mouth and said: "What you said makes sense, come here, send a message to Luan Hou on the left road, kill it, and then move closer to the main fleet, and strive to rush to the fishing island within three days to repair!" ”

Du Yu arched his hand at Xia Wenyu and said, "Xie Xiahou, a few skinny dragons were salvaged by soldiers just now, do you want Xiahou to taste them together?" ”

This is the invitation, Xia Wenyu thought for a while, and the war was about to end, and said: "Skinny Dragon?!" This weather is rare! Naturally, I also bothered you, I just heard that Zhuo Hou has a jar of good wine in his hand, what does Brother Du think? ”

Jiaolong's other part is not in Xia Wenyu's good mood at this time, the remnants of the East China Sea people on Bay Island are resisting fiercely, Guo Bin has been anxious all day since he landed, not just now the supply ship in the port has been attacked again, and he is not in a good mood at this time, and he is gulping down water.

"Guo Hou, don't be impatient, the people of the East China Sea on Bay Island are just a few small people left, don't be afraid, we still have to go north to join Xiahou as soon as possible."

"Elder Zhong, we can't go north wholeheartedly if Wandao is uneven, it stands to reason that after taking Wandao, the imperial court should send patrol battalions and officials over, but at this time, the imperial court is busy, and this matter will temporarily fall on our heads, Elder Zhong, can you tell me if there is any good way to solve it?" Guo Bin knew a little about Zhong Fan's identity, but he didn't dare to go deeper, because this identity was really mysterious, and the people from the Ministry of State Security had always paid close attention to him.

"Guo Hou, the current situation on Bay Island seems to be messy, but it is actually simple, if Guo Hou dares to use heavy canons, the old man thinks that all the people in the East China Sea can be captured in ten days at most."

"Re-canon? The imperial court has not allowed the repetition of the ceremony for many years, and it is very opposed to doing so, so it is inappropriate to do it on Bay Island, right? "Guo Bin is still more cautious.

"Although Bay Island has always been my Central Plains territory, but Bay Island is a maritime trade artery, for thousands of years of dense business and trade exchanges, some people on Bay Island have learned to fall with the wind, after the East China Sea people invaded Bay Island, those people began to be powerful, and now the imperial court soldiers and horses have re-entered, those people know that there is no way out, they can only advance and retreat with the East China Sea people, and the old man's so-called heavy code is only for them." Zhong Fan stroked his beard and said.

Zhong Fan has also figured it out over the years since he was captured, Meng Yan has also talked to him, Zhong Roulan has now become Queen Daning under a pseudonym, it is impossible for the Zhong family to enter the Central Plains, and most of the children of the Zhong family have slowly given up the idea of establishing a country, they pay more attention to business and trade, and they are now the largest maritime merchants in the South Seas, and they are rich enough to rival the country.

He stayed here purely for the relationship with Meng Yan, but since Ye Bohuai defected, no matter whether Meng Yan trusted him or not, but the Daxuan Imperial Court knew that he existed, and people were suspicious of him, he didn't care, he didn't have a position in the Daxuan Dynasty and the army, but was entrusted to train sailors, although those secret spies hiding around him were a little annoying, but his life was actually very comfortable.

Guo Bin hesitated for a long time, and finally slammed the table heavily and said: "Zhong Lao is reasonable, those traitorous miscellaneous should have been beheaded, and now they will not be blamed for using heavy canons in the imperial court." ”

Zhong Fan was very satisfied and said: "Guo Hou, in fact, as long as you get the four families of Wandao, Cai, Su, Shi, and Zhi have close contacts with the people of the East China Sea. ”

Guo Bin nodded, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then do it to them!" ”

However, in three days, under Guo Bin's order, the army raided the homes of the four traitorous families on Bay Island, and then beheaded the four families in front of the people of Bay Island, which won a lot of applause.

After dealing with the four families, the remnants of the East China Sea people will not be able to live on the Bay Island, and the power of the people is terrifying, but after two days' work, those hidden East China Sea people will have nowhere to hide.

Guo Bin left only a team of 6,000 people to stabilize the situation on Wandao and set sail, and he had to rush to Yudao to meet Xia Wenyu before the second snowstorm arrived.

"Your Majesty, Xia Wenyu and Guo Bin should be able to converge in a few days, Jiaolong's prestige on the sea has made the pirates and the invincible East China Sea Master too scared to approach, let's finally raise our eyebrows, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Gu Yanfeng's body is getting tougher and tougher now.

"Guo Bin's disposal in Wandao is desirable, but we should also learn a lesson, so that the people trust not only to live a worry-free life, but also to have full confidence in our court, Wandao has given us a wake-up call." Meng Yan has little interest in the war anymore, and his current focus is mainly on Daning's actions on the outside and the mood of the people on the inside.

"Your Majesty, it's better to give Jiaolong a reward in time, they can't return to their homeland for the New Year this year." Gu Yanfeng reminded.

"It's okay, their exploits are remembered by the imperial court, but after they land on the East China Sea mainland, they will be rewarded together, Jiaolong! You have to have the bearing of a dragon! ”
