Volume 1 Mu Xuanzhou Chapter 62 Zhao'an
Seeing that the capital ships of Tian's fleet had burst into flames in almost a short period of time, everyone's reaction was different.
Tian Haomiao has three younger brothers, except for the second brother Tian Haoxi, who was dismissed, he was in Mingzhou City at this time, and he was always ready to lead the old and young women and children of the Tian clan in Mingzhou to evacuate to Changguo Island; The fourth brother Tian Haoyi served as the county lieutenant of Changguo, and he was also ready to attack at any time. Only the third brother Tian Haohan has been running on the sea, and this time he went out with Tian Haomiao and led the escort fleet. Seeing that the main warship was on fire almost instantly, Tian Haohan was also dumbfounded.
Due to the lack of superiority in numbers, the escort fleet of Taihu Kou, under the leadership of the third master Zhang Mingming, has been adopting the tactics of guerrilla fighting, and the escort fleet of the Hetian clan has been going back and forth on the sea several times, shooting at each other several rounds from a distance. However, because Li Congyi couldn't bring too much equipment when he went to sea, these small boats in Taihu Kou did not have the advantage of long-range combat weapons, but they only relied on the neat sails and the physical strength of the soldiers to prevent being entangled and consumed by the Tian escort fleet.
At this time, Tian's main warship was hopeless, Zhang Mingzhi switched from defense to attack, just to drag Tian's escort fleet, and Tian Haohan did not run, but actually counterattacked like crazy, Zhang Mingzhi knew that he was invincible, so he had to distance himself and wait for the main warship to join the battlefield.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two most intact 600-stone ships broke away from the battlefield and immediately accelerated to the west.
The fiercest battle had been completed in a short and fierce manner, and Li Congyi came from the bottom cabin to the second cabin. Zhang Qiao asked whether to send a ship to pursue him. "Forget it, after this defeat, it is impossible for the Tian clan to raise the flag of rebellion again. A little bit of small fish and shrimp, no need to worry. ”
At this time, on Butterfly Island, everyone on the top of the mountain laughed and said that this oil tank was really a weapon to break the enemy! Wu Feixing even ordered the Taihu Zhuzhai to go to the bay to save the boat, and the rescue was counted as one, and ordered Zhao Kai to lead his troops to persuade the rest of the Mingzhou Naval Division to surrender.
Wang Chi on the shore and beach looked at the raging fire of the big ship on the sea, sighed, and said in his heart, this war is finally over. At this time, the Taihu Kou on the mountain began to move, and a group of people went directly to the bay, while the other group of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers marched in orderly steps to the temporary camp and military formation of the Mingzhou Navy Division to the sound of military drums. Wang Chi then ordered, "Let everyone put down their swords and guns...... Sit down. ”
The remnants of the Mingzhou Navy Division no longer had the fighting spirit, so they dropped their weapons one after another, and sat on the ground at will, waiting for the Taihu Kou to come and take prisoners.
On the sea, Tian's escort fleet no longer had the will to fight. The two warships withdrew from the battlefield, and they were not intercepted by the Taihu Kou, and when they boarded, other warships also started to escape. When the main warships of the Taihu Kou arrived at the battlefield, except for Tian Haohan who led the two ships to bravely meet them, the rest of the ships took advantage of the gap between the withdrawal of the Taihu Kou's escort fleet and the entry of the main warships, and fled one after another. Only one-third of Tian's ships were under Tian's banner, and the rest were composed of five pirates. At this time, among the five pirates, some pirate leaders also died with the big ship, and three pirate leaders escaped, and it was difficult to work for the Tian family in peace. Li Congyi doesn't care about them, these have nothing to do with the overall situation.
Zhang Qiao did not use the oil tank again. It's just that with more fights and less, using bed crossbows and bow crossbows, the buildings on the decks of Tian's three 600 stone ships are in a mess, and there is no power to fight back.
At this time, the sun is setting, the sea is sparkling with gold, and if it weren't for the smoke of a few warships on the ocean, it would be really a great ocean scenery.
In this battle, the Xuanzhou soldiers and the Taihu Zhuzhai killed more than 200 people and wounded about 400 people, especially the Taihu Zhuzhai suffered heavy casualties, most of which occurred during the battle on the island. Compared with the Taihu Zhai soldiers, the casualties of the Xuanzhou soldiers were insignificant.
There were about 900 soldiers ashore in the Mingzhou Naval Division. Of course, it can't be put back, and it is even more impossible to stay on the island, so Li Congyi decided to take it to Xuanzhou. Xuanmei and Xuangang all need such strong labor. He also captured the senior generals of the Mingzhou Navy Division and commanded Wang Chi, which Li Congyi did not expect. At first, I wanted to put it back and make some articles, but later I thought that the chief and deputy directors of the Mingzhou Water Division were deployed and the supervisors were dead.
And after that, what kind of battle will happen within Wu Yue around the fat of the Tian family, Li Congyi can hardly predict, so he can only give up.
Li Congyi left Xuanzhou for half a month, and now that it is over, he naturally has to go back as soon as possible. After inspecting and condolences to the wounded soldiers, Li Congyi summoned the Taihu Lake villages to take charge. "This is the case, my father wants to leave tomorrow, what are your plans for the future?"
Han Shi immediately saluted and said: "My lord, from Han Shi down, the Taihu Zhuzhai will only be willing to look forward to the adults in the future." Except for the three masters who were injured and unconscious, the rest of them also knelt on the ground together: "I am willing to die for my lord!" ”
For Li Congyi, this is a natural result. For Han Shi and others, it is the only choice for survival and development.
The infantry of Taihu Zhuzhai was not proficient, so Li Congyi left Zhao Kai's battalion to temporarily station on Butterfly Island to prevent other forces from coming to fish in troubled waters in the near future, and at the same time helped train Taihu soldiers, and also gave some weapons to Taihu Zhuzhai.
Li Congyi's requirements for the Taihu Zhuzhai are, first, with the assistance of Kou Zishi, to open a trade route to Liuqiu and Japan, and draw a route map; the second is to send a team to the Huainan salt area to buy illegal salt and then transport it to Xuanzhou; Third, the camera occupies an island around Sisheng Island as a new base, making the exchange between Butterfly Island and the mainland safer.
————
In the past few days, Qian Hailu has to come to Ruifuxiang and stay until the imperial city is about to close the palace before returning. It is really above the East China Sea, a big war is on the verge of breaking out, and the Mingzhou Navy Division may have nothing to worry about, but the three generations of the Tian family have been operating for decades, and their power is also deep, and they are also deeply accustomed to naval warfare. Li Congyi is very confident, and Qian Hailu also believes that it is not bad, after all, Li Congyi has mastered high technology, but before the results are out, he still can't help but worry.
There were many battles in the waters of Butterfly Island, and it was not that no other forces had sent reconnaissance ships, but the scale of the naval battle was very large, and the battlefield was very wide, and all the reconnaissance ships did not dare to approach. But when the Tian clan only had two 600 stone boats left and fled back to Changguo Island, even fools understood that the Tian clan had been defeated and lost. But what is the situation of the Mingzhou Sailor, the forces of all parties are still confused.
On the morning of the second day of the naval battle, Qian Hailu received the news of a complete victory in the naval battle of Taihu Zhuzhai. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the various forces received general information about the naval battle from the pirates under the control of the Tian clan.
Tian has been deeply cultivated in Changguo Island for a long time, and has also made many arrangements, but he also gave up decisively at this time. That night, the children of the clans left Changguo, and the next night the Tian clan fled, really only taking some gold and silver and carrying soft with them, and fled out of Mingzhou by boat, and went straight to the Song Kingdom. When the Mingzhou Mansion wanted to control the Tian clan the next day, it was found that the building was empty.
The Mingzhou Sailor failed to annihilate the Taihu Kou, but was annihilated by the Tian clan, and all deployed Jia Heyu and Metropolitan Supervisor Cao Peng were all killed in battle, and they all commanded Wang Chi's whereabouts to be unknown, and the Mingzhou Sailor only had some small fish and shrimp left. And the Taihu Kou was so powerful that they annihilated the main warships of the Tian clan in one fell swoop, and made the merchants of the sea suspicious. Behind the Taihu Kou, if there is no big force to support it, then its main fleet must not suddenly double, and its combat power cannot suddenly be so strong. Under mutual suspicion, the maritime merchants also did not move for the time being, but hurriedly sent people to contact several pirates who were once vassals of the Tian clan, and wanted to absorb them; They also contacted each other privately, bargained, and wanted to divide the private ports of the islands occupied by the Tian clan in the Zhoushan Islands.
Tian's family property was seized by Mingzhou Prefecture and County, but some hidden fields, houses, shops, etc., were embezzled by various forces in Mingzhou Prefecture at a low price. The five major maritime merchants are looking for Tian's most valuable maritime trade assets, including two towns on Changguk Island and several large and small private ports scattered on various islands. There were few porridge and many monks, and the families negotiated for many days, but they could not come up with a charter, so some people couldn't hold it back, and wanted to take the lead first, so they ordered the affiliated pirates to actively prepare for war. As a result, the tense situation in the Zhoushan Islands did not ease with the defeat of the Tian clan.
Qian Hailu put his mind at ease, and then went to the Qiantang River to supervise the Qiantang Resort. Sun Bin came over.
Sun Bin gave a rough account of the naval battle on Butterfly Island. Qian Hailu pretended to listen carefully, and after Sun Bin talked about the escape of the Tian family, Qian Hailu also understood the other party's intention. Qian Hailu's Hangzhou Hotel was successful again, and accurately predicted the defeat of the Mingzhou sailors, and the Fuchun Sun family paid more and more attention to this niece. It's just that Qian Hailu is one round younger than Sun Bin, and Sun Bin himself is embarrassed to say it clearly.
"Changguo Island has a wide area, and it is very close to the land of Mingzhou, before the Tian clan was dominant, Changguo County can only forbear, and now the Tian clan is defeated, Changguo County has no idea? If there are still people who want to serve the Natian clan in Changguo, I am afraid that they will have to be restless day and night. If the Tian family's property in Changguk Island was packaged into one share, the five maritime merchants would partner in Changguk Island, all of them would be directors, and then the five would take turns as the chairman of the board, and the chief treasurer would be invited to actually manage and manage them, and each would be allowed to operate freely and equally in the town and the seaport. In addition, if it is also counted as a dry stock in Changguo County, there will be no resistance in Changguo County. ”
"If the private harbor and affiliated pirates of the Tian clan and other islands are carefully counted by a third party, and then the various maritime merchants take turns to quote the price, the higher one will get it, and the assets obtained will be divided equally among the five companies."
After hearing this, Sun Bin also shouted wonderfully, and just asked: "If a third party takes inventory, I'm afraid everyone will have to argue again." ”
Qian Hailu smiled slightly: "It can be organized by this little master." ”
Sun Bin thought about it, with the relationship between Qian Hailu and the Sun family, how could other families agree? After thinking about it again, I think maybe it can, after all, before Qian Hailu got married, she was more on behalf of the Qian royal family, which has some subtle meanings in it.
At this time, Qian Weijun also rushed over. After all, Qian Weijun is the son of the world and a shareholder of the partnership, no matter how Sun Bin is, he has to do a job of saving face, so he will bow and leave after the noise.
Qian Weijun didn't care, but the conflict between the two a few days ago didn't exist. Just listening to Qian Hailu's suggestion, Qian Weijun was also stunned: "These Taihu Kou annihilated the Taihu Lake Sailor with the front foot, and the Mingzhou Sailor with the back foot, and then went to Zhao'an at this time, maybe it can be done, but where will my Wu Yueguo's face go?" I'm afraid that I will have to put it on hold for a few months, and then invite some idlers to build momentum in many ways, and my father may agree. ”
Looking at Qian Hailu's narrow eyes again, Qian Weijun suddenly understood. Qian Hailu meant that he would let himself recruit An Taihu Kou, not let Wu Yueguo recruit An.
Qian Weijun's heart suddenly moved, with such a sea force in hand, there was no need to look at the face of the Sun family in many business affairs. As for the rest, Qian Weijun doesn't want to think about it for the time being.
"Taihu Kou sent someone to Hangzhou to find the Sun family, but it happened to hit me." Qian Hailu said leisurely.
Is there such a thing? These Taihu Kou are looking for it so blindly? Qian Weijun suddenly understood, thinking that someone from Taihu Lake came to the Hangzhou Hotel to investigate, but was detained by Qian Hailu.
"What Taihu Kou thinks is just to find a backer, one is to gain a foothold, and the other is to make money. Wu Yue Shizi is the backer, and he must recognize Taihu Kou if he wants to come. Qian Hailu said, "The eldest brother can't stand the bird's anger of the Sun family, so why not use the power of this Taihu Kou, you and I will add Wen Fangfei to set up a sea trade company." I have all the names in mind, and it is called Qiantang Haimao. What does the big brother think? ”
Qian Weijun suddenly reacted and glanced at Qian Hailu strangely: "Little sister, this is what you want to do by yourself, and you are fooling your eldest brother, right?" ”
