……

December 20, Shendu.

In the imperial study, today's Honglin looks full of red and is in good spirits.

Because during this time, good news was frequently reported from all over the country, which made Honglin seem to see the prosperity of the empire.

"Emperor Qi, the slave Ningzhou Taishou Huang Yan reported, Dongyi and the fourth day of the first month of November violated the sea border with the sea, the slave personally climbed the city tower, and the defenders fought hard to kill the enemy,

Sink an enemy ship, kill 40 enemies, capture three pairs of Dongyi's clothes and armor, four weapons, Dongyi saw that Kecheng was hopeless, so he retreated, and the soldiers and civilians were all happy when they heard it. ”

Looking at the good news on the table, Honglin Longyan Dayue directly gave the royal approval on the fold: Okay!

"Long live Qizuo, the slave Bajiang Taishou Yao Chain reported, on the seventh day of November, the Dongyi thief ship invaded my Bajiang port, fortunately the officers and soldiers of the whole city resisted hard, the thieves were timid, and they saw no opportunity to take advantage of the day in the harbor, so they retreated, and killed more than 100 enemies in this battle, severely damaged several enemy ships, and captured a Dongyi battle flag."

Honglin nodded, and the royal approval: Aiqing serves the country, and he should work hard.

"Long live Qizuo, the slave Guangling Taishou Hongqiu reported, on November 12, more than 100 Dongyi thief ships invaded Haixi, and the slave commanded the officers and soldiers who defended the city to fight bloodily.

The minions led the army out of the city to pursue more than ten miles, drove Dongyi out of Haixi, and killed more than 1,000 Dongyi, which was a great victory. ”

Honglin smiled, and immediately gave the royal approval: Aiqing is the humerus of my court, and when Dongyi is defeated, he will be rewarded.

A series of more than a dozen good news made Honglin energetic, as if he had seen the defeat of the Dongyi Navy, which swept away his gloomy mood in the past few months.

However, the fact is that the "Dongyi invaded Xinjiang" mentioned in these submitted recitals is true, and the repulsion of Dongyi is pure nonsense.

The truth is that Gan Ziba's navy quickly conquered these key passes, and then plundered the city's treasury to obtain a large amount of supplies before retreating.

As for what officers and soldiers defending the city resisted bloodily?

It's even more ridiculous.

Gan Ziba's main ship only fired a long-range artillery salvo, killing dozens of people, or even a dozen people, and then collapsed in fear, and it was effortless to capture the key pass.

Because he was afraid that Honglin would ask for the crime, he began to compile a fake report to send to the Beijing Division, after all, the city was indeed "not lost", and there could be an explanation.

And Honglin also happens to urgently need good news to cheer people, and these "victorious battle reports" are just what he needs.

In fact, Honglin didn't think that these good news might be fake, but reason made him reluctant to think about it, he needed to maintain the glory of the current golden era, so he simply enjoyed it.

Not long after, the eunuch came to report: "Long live Lord Qiyu, Master Li is asking to see you outside the door." ”

"Let him in!"

Hearing that Li Shen was coming, Honglin immediately smiled, eager to find someone to share this joy.

When Li Shen entered the room, he was about to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Honglin: "Li Shen, come and see, come and come." ”

Li Shen bowed down and came to Honglin: "Long live the master, what do you have to tell the slaves?" ”

Honglin pointed to a bunch of good news on the table: "Look at it, my Dajin is not a soldier who dares to fight, these are the battle reports sent by the local Taishou, and the Dongyi Naval Division cannot gain my territory at sea, but the losses outweigh the losses." ”

Li Shen hurriedly said: "That's the Long Live Lord is wise and martial, and the command is well-organized, first, the Long Live Lord is the Emperor of the Ages, and the Dajin is governed in an orderly manner, and the army and the people are naturally unable to overcome it quickly.

Second, Dongyi Xingshi moved people from afar, although the soldiers were prosperous at the beginning, and my Dajin was not prepared, because it made Dongyi rampant for a while,

However, at present, Dongyi's sharpness has decreased, and the nature of the thief has been exposed, how can he be the opponent of my Dajin King's division, everything is planned by the Long Live Lord. ”

Honglin was overjoyed by this sycophancy, and said again and again: "This is the unanimous contribution of my Dajin, and it is not the credit of one of my people." ”

Then he sighed and said: "However, what makes me dissatisfied is that the officers and soldiers in various places are more than successful, but they are not enterprising enough. ”

When Li Shen heard this, he immediately whispered: "Long live Lord, the slave doesn't know whether to say a word." ”

Honglin smiled: "What do you have to say." ”

Li Shen: "Long live Lord, the armaments of the various sailors should also be replaced, although the Dongyi attack was repelled by the loyal and brave people from all walks of life,

However, it is precisely because Dongyi has ships that he cannot do his best to annihilate them, if all the officers and soldiers and sailors are ready......"

Honglin stopped his hand: "I also know what you mean, in fact, since the last time Dongyi sent an envoy to send those giant ship models, I have already moved, and I have asked craftsmen to imitate them.

However, there is no experience in this side, although the model is fine, but it lacks key details, if there is a physical object to build, but this ship Dongyi asked for a sky-high price, I did not agree,

Anyway, after defeating the Dongyi, I will give them a chance, as long as they are willing to surrender to me, and I am willing to reopen maritime trade to strengthen our army. ”

When Li Shen heard this, he kept shouting "Long live Lord Wise", but in fact, he kept complaining in his heart: "In this case, when the Han Dynasty sent the national letter, wouldn't it be good to agree directly?" Why bother. ”

Just when the monarch and the minister were looking forward to a better future, they didn't know that the situation in the south had undergone earth-shaking changes.

……

December 25, Jiangnan, Wusong Port.

After seven months of stop-and-go, Gan Ziba's navy finally came to the most important turning point.

Looking at Wusong Port, which was dozens of nautical miles away, Gan Ziba couldn't help but pat the side of the ship: "Seven months of battle, today is finally the time for a decisive battle, whether you can end this battle in one battle, it depends on today's battle!" ”

Zheng Sanbao asked, "Why did Governor Gan say this?" ”

Gan Ziba: "Through the operation of the Intelligence Division, Wusong Port is the starting point port for maritime grain transportation in Nanao, and now Lu Ziming and they have controlled the river transportation, if they can control this place again, the Beidi Jin soldiers will be completely in a desperate situation, and this battle will be won." ”

Zheng Sanbao: "But I haven't heard that Jin Guo relies on the sea to transport grain." ”

"Stupid!" Gan Ziba scolded with a smile, "This port is set up for the backup of the river when it is sick, the river transportation is blocked, and the northern land of the Jin Kingdom can only go to sea from Songzhou Port if it needs grain and grass, if it is blocked here, the Nanao Imperial Court will be in danger of running out of food, and the army will be ordered to prepare to force Songzhou and take the port quickly." ”

……

Wusong Zhisuo, Zhenjiang City, is an important town in the south of South Australia, which is related to the smooth flow of the sea outlet in the south of Jinguo.

Zhenjiang is the capital of Hailing, a local indigenous nobleman, who is well versed in the art of war, and in his early years, he fought in all directions with Zhang Gui and Fulin, and had quite a lot of military achievements.

Knowing that the situation in the north was erosive, Hai Ling was the first in the south to predict that the Han navy might move south along the sea to attack all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, so he tightened the city defense during this time to prevent the arrival of the Han army.

Facts have proved that Hailing's prediction is very accurate, and after the Han army attacked the main river transportation route, it immediately mobilized troops and horses from all walks of life to strengthen the Wusong defense line.

As soon as the river transportation route was lost, all the pressure to maintain the transportation of the war situation was pressed on Wusong Port, and no matter what, the last transportation route of Dajin could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.
