It was September.

Jia Lian arrived in Haikou, Xiamen Prefecture.

Because he summoned the officials of Jiangnan Prefecture along the way, he visited Longhu Mountain and other places, and it took two months to arrive.

When the chariot arrived in Xiamen, the admiral of the two naval divisions had already arrived with his army, and he held on across the sea with the Haikou who occupied Yizhou, clashed several times, and each seized the island and set up camps.

When the stalemate was at a stalemate, when the Taishi arrived at Haikou in Xiamen, the two admirals did not dare to slack off, and they both came to visit in person.

Although Jia Lian said that he was the master and was in charge of the affairs of the world, the governors and ministers of various places only knew five or six out of ten.

At the moment, even if he is not familiar with these two admirals, he has only heard of the reputation of being decent.

"Song Jiang occupies the place, and he hasn't left for months?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Xiamen, Jia Lian didn't have time to greet him, and he didn't sit down, so he came to ask questions first.

Therefore, the two admirals did not dare to take their seats.

The local Admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Divisions bowed down and replied: "There is a Taishi, although Song Jiang is called Haikou, he is actually the lord of the Qianxiang Kingdom, with 70,000 elite soldiers on land and water, nearly 1,000 warships of all sizes, and he also controls the trade of the South Seas and the East, and has the wealth of the enemy country. This time I occupied Dayuan Island, and the soldiers of the imperial court went down to their humble duties, although they had the intention to beg the thief, but they had nothing to do, so I could only ask the Taishi to preside."

Jia Lian laughed angrily when he heard this, and said, "You are the Admiral of the Navy here, and it is your duty to pacify the sea area. Now that Haikou is allowed to become bigger, he still has the cheekiness to say? Could it be the idea of raising a man with self-respect!"

The face of the Admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Divisions changed, and he hurriedly said: "I dare not take on this name, my loyal heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the rivers and seas can be known!"

Jia Lian said: "This kind of export is a chapter, what kind of martial arts do you do. This Taishi came from the temple to ask for orders, as the commander of the southeast sea, and now you are in your post, do you have anything to say?"

The Admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Masters knocked on the ground with resentment on his face, gritted his teeth for a while, and finally raised his head and sighed, "Only the life of the Taishi."

took off a Wusha hat, and Jia Lian instructed in the tent again: "Huang Xin, the governor of the left capital of the Shenji battalion, temporarily leads the commander of the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Divisions, rectifies the upper and lower levels, and prepares to meet the enemy."

Huang Xinxin bowed to Peng, issued an edict, immediately greeted the left and right, and handed over to the former commander of the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Division.

After arranging these, Jia Lian came out in an orderly manner and led the commander of the Yangtze River Navy Division to inspect the camp.

"How is the main force of the Imperial Court Sailors?"

The sea breeze was blowing, Jia Lian walked around the shore, frowning and looking for someone behind him to ask questions.

The Admiral of the Yangtze River Naval Division, who was half a position behind Jia Lian, heard the question, and hurriedly bowed forward to answer, saying: "The 6,700-stone warship where the former Admiral of the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Division lived, six 2,000-jin artillery pieces on the left and right sides of the lower cabin, three on the left and right, and two 1,500-kilogram artillery pieces on the front and rear, is the crown of the king's division. For the rest of the warships, there are more than ten of them over 5,000 stones, but the firepower is not the same."

As he spoke, Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy pointed out where the flagship was on the shore.

Jia Lian looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I heard that when the eunuch of the Three Treasures of the previous dynasty went to the Western Ocean, he took a Wanshi warship, and the countries of the South Sea surrendered. Why is it that I am not as good as I was today?"

The Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy Division hesitated for a while, and replied: "The Grand Master doesn't know, but the officials and soldiers really can't use such a big ship, and they have never gone to sea, and they have given money and grain to build a big ship of ten thousand stones, which is a waste. Today, even though the pirates have become bigger, they can't build big ships for a while."

Jia Lian shook his head and sneered, "The armament of the imperial court sailors has been relaxed to this point, no wonder the pirates can occupy the territory and set up a formation to fight."

The camp has been inspected, and Jia Lian is looking to return from the military tent.

The only remaining admiral of the Yangtze River Navy saw that Jia Lian dismissed his colleagues with one word, and he only cared about picking thorns, and he felt the same and slandered in his heart.

"Master Qiqi, if it weren't for the Netherlands breaking the covenant and abandoning the city, the situation on Dayuan Island might not have deteriorated to this point, and they can be held accountable for their crimes now."

The Dutch people were greedy and contemptive, and they still refused to go after failing to occupy Dayuan Island in their early years, so they had to live by guarding the route and the deer skins on the island, so the court signed an agreement with them that they could lease the place to go out, but the Dutch also had the duty to send troops in wartime.

This is also an old tradition of all dynasties.

However, because of the construction of the city on the island

The Dutch people were ordered by the Taishi Mansion to forcibly levy rents last year, and opened a commercial port in the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the flat-bottomed boats from the East Ocean and the pointed bottoms from the Nanyang can enter, and the prosperity and liveliness will simply be attracted away by the Dutch people who are plagued by dysentery and miasma.

Without foreign aid, Dayuan Island will say that there is no and there is none.

This matter is indeed related to Jia Lian, but if you arrest the Dutch who are doing business in Pudong, you will be a face of the New Deal.

"Ignorant fools, too."

Jia Lian heard the sarcasm of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and glanced at it, "This Taishi is going south, specifically to pacify the Haikou. Although he was not very familiar with the former Admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang, he never had any sympathy and dissent, just because he connived at Haikou to become bigger, and even set up strongholds in Quanzhou, Ningbo, Zhangzhou, Xinghua, Fuzhou and other places, and the evidence is conclusive. Now that you have deposed this useless man, you will open your eyes for him?"

Shi Zhenjue, the head of the Taishi Mansion, took out a dossier at the right time, and asked the Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy to look at it with a smile.

Jia Taishi had a seizure in front of him, how dare this person look at it, two wars for a while, not connected, not connected, lest his own official position also be lost.

Fortunately, a soldier suddenly came from outside to report, saying that he was from Xiangshan Ao.

The Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy Division escaped the catastrophe at this time, and carefully stood aside to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

When Jia Lian first arrived, he set up his horse, and first bypassed this person, turned back to the main seat of the big tent, and ordered with a smile: "Call those 'red-haired ghosts' in, the wrong word was passed before, and their own sailors were not used for the top, so they should be used to build ships."

The word Hongyi was originally used to call the Franc machine man, and the original Hongyi cannon was also passed down from these people. Later, whether it was made by the imperial court or not, it was simply called the Hongyi Cannon.

When he heard that Jia Lian had arrived in Xiamen, he came to thank him and sent 300 black slave soldiers, four 24-pound Hongyi cannons, 10 5-pound field guns, and even a 32-pound cannon.

Originally, it would not have been so generous, and it was the norm for Westerners to provoke local wars.

However, the two countries on the peninsula in the hometown of the Francophone are in trouble, and the local Hongyi governor of Xiangshanao does not have the intention of making contributions. In addition, Jia Lian is in charge of opening the sea, and the business of the southeast port city is booming, so it is natural to rush to the knot.

Therefore, Jia Lian is also considered to have lost the harvest of mulberry elm in the east.

……

……

Oyuan Island.

A six-foot figure, with a dark face, eyes like a phoenix, eyebrows like a lying silkworm, eyes with a look of paint, square lips and a full heavenly court, walked into the newly built Zhongyi Hall.

Holding the sword at his waist and wearing a cloak around his neck, he sat on the main seat and looked at the heroes below.

When he sits regularly, he looks like a tiger, and he walks like a wolf.

This person is Song Jiang.
