When Zheng Jun finally arrived in the south of Tong'an County, he was surprised to find that the banner of Su Yanyi's army had been hung high on the wall of the city wall.

"General, it looks like we're late." Shi Lang looked at the newly replaced rebel soldiers on the city wall, and said to Zhu Chenggong with a wry smile.

Zhu Chenggong pursed his lips and said, "Enter the city first to meet Su Yan, and then talk about the rest when we meet." ”

Shi Lang clenched his fists and promised, and then beckoned the army to cross Xixi, and at this time, the rebels at the south gate also discovered the late Zheng army, opened the Zhu Zi Gate, and let the Zheng army enter the city.

When Zhu Chenggong saw Su Yan, the latter was counting the number of surrendered Qing soldiers and pacifying the rioting people in the city, most of these people had red eyes, obviously they had not recovered from the killing just now, some of them still had blood stains on their weapons, and many of them knelt on the ground to hide their faces and wept bitterly, muttering in a low voice, as if to comfort their relatives who died at the hands of Qing soldiers in the past.

The people had heard about the rebels, and they knew the strategy of dividing the land into the acre, so they did not show resistance to the rebels, and in the face of the rebels who came to appease them, they obediently put down their weapons.

Seeing Zhu Chenggong coming, Su Yan invited him into the county government and gave the main seat to Zhu Chenggong to sit down, but Zhu Chenggong did not accept it, and the two of them decided to vacate the main seat after some resignation, and the two of them sat on the left and right.

This move also made Zhu Chenggong's perception of Su Yan much better.

As soon as he took his seat, Zhu Chenggong apologized and said: "Anguo, our army is one step slower, so that it delays the fighter, this is my fault, I apologize to you." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to bow to Su Yan, Su Yan hurriedly got up to support him, and said, "The surname of the country is such a big gift, the younger generation really can't afford it, please get up quickly." ”

Zhu Chenggong didn't really want to worship, seeing that Su Yan was very discerning and supported himself, he also got up, and pretended to be ashamed and said: "Anguo, Tong'an is captured by you alone, how can I divide the gold, silver, grain and grass in the city with you equally according to the results of the previous discussion." ”

Su Yan nodded, although he admired this national hero, it was impossible for him to ignore his own interests, but he also didn't want to miss the warships in the Qing army's water village, he thought about it, and after sitting down here, he proposed:

"Guo surnamed Ye, the juniors know that your army is often plagued by food shortages, and the juniors of Tong'an City do not take a stone of grain and grass in exchange for the captured Qing army warships, how about it?"

"Yes." Zhu Chenggong thought about it, there was indeed a shortage of food in his army, if it wasn't for the lack of food, he wouldn't have done anything to Hao Shangjiu, who was also in the Ming army, last year, so that he rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

So, he nodded and agreed: "I will order Hengchen to negotiate with you about the exchange." ”

Subsequently, Zhu Chenggong asked Su Yan how he captured Tong'an County, and Su Yan described the entire process of attacking the city for Zhu Chenggong.

When he heard that the people in the city spontaneously responded to the rebel army, Zhu Chenggong couldn't help but applaud his hands, praising the people in the city for being loyal and brave people, and after hearing that the Qing army surrendered under the leadership of his general Yang Qizhi, he also expressed his contempt for the surrendered troops.

Zhu Chenggong is a person with a strong personality, and he looks down on such people who surrender and betray his master, but in the battle with the Qing army, he must rely on these people in many cases to achieve victory, which makes him seem very repetitive.

Subsequently, Zhu Chenggong invited Su Yan again, inviting him to Xiamen Island to make up a banquet for Su Yan to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Su Yan wanted to refuse again, but he had already refused once, if he refused again, he was afraid that it would cause Zhu Chenggong's dissatisfaction, he could only agree, and agreed to visit the island on the eighth day of November five days later.

Zhu Chenggong, who received Su Yan's reply, left Tong'an County satisfied, leaving Feng Chengshi to discuss with Su Yan about the grain exchange warship, and I don't know if it was Zhu Chenggong's instruction, the exchange chips given by Feng Chengshi were more favorable.

An ultra-small warship costs only 20 stones, a light ship costs 100 stones, a small ship costs 150 stones, a medium-sized ship costs 250 stones, and a large ship costs 500 stones.

The ultra-small warship net shuttle ship, shaped like a shuttle, with bamboo mast and wooden sails, can carry two to four people, and is equipped with two or three bird guns.

There are many types of light warships, such as eagle ships, chain ships, sub-mother ships, fire dragon boats and red dragon boats, and the sailors on board all use bows, arrows and firearms.

In wartime, the mother ship quickly approached the enemy ship, nailed together with the enemy ship, and the sailors evacuated by the sub-ship after igniting the mother ship.

The former was equipped with a Francophone cannon and a bowl gun, and the latter was a warship that hit the water with a wheel, and the speed was much faster than that of rowing.

The medium-sized warship Haicang ship, equipped with four thousand pound franc machines and three bowls, often cooperates with the fortune ship to fight.

As for the large warship, it is the famous lucky ship.

The Fu ship has three cabins, and the bow of the ship is equipped with one Hongyi cannon, six thousand-pound Buddha machines, three bowl-mouth guns, and twenty thunderbolt cannons, and the firepower is fierce, even the sixth-level ships in Su Yan's hands cannot compete with it.

According to Su Yan's own comparison, the sixth-level ship can probably be equal to the Haicang ship, and if you want to compete with the Fu ship, you must at least have a fourth-class ship or more.

It can be seen that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty are not impossible, but because of the corruption of the imperial court and the greed of the civilian group, the imperial court opened the sea ban, and the sailors declined.

Among the more than 80 Qing warships captured, the number of warships above the small warships is very small, and the basic ones are mainly light warships and ultra-small warships.

In addition to these four warships, Su Yan also cheekily invited some Qing sailors who were captured by Zheng Jun, and prepared to use them as a basis to train the first batch of sailors under his command.

Of course, Su Yan did not forget the two warships he drove at the beginning, and he planned to summon those two warships after returning to Quanzhou Port, and at the same time recruit and build several more warships through the dock.

The construction process of the navy is not easy, the so-called hundred-year navy, which means that it takes at least a hundred years to build a strong naval fleet, although with the help of the system, the speed of building warships to train sailors is compressed to less than a few months, but it still takes a long time for Su Yan to have a powerful fleet.

There are not many places where the navy is used in battles on the land of China, which is one of the reasons why the previous dynasties did not focus on building the navy, but Su Yan is different, as a modern man more than three hundred years later, he knows very well that coastal defense is the top priority for a coastal country, and he has come to come, and if he does not include a piece of Nanyang in the territory of the empire, then he has not crossed in vain?
