Chapter 179: Convoy
Taiwanese sailors have surrendered!
The continuous bombardment caused their will to fight rapidly, especially the Vladivostok warships did not approach them, but only bullied them with the long range of their artillery, so that their occasional shells could only make a splash.
They can't run either.
Surrounded on all sides, whoever wants to break out of the encirclement will be given priority care, and it will sink in a few shots! …… The gunners of those sea cuostoks are all strictly trained, and they are very familiar with the fast sinking wherever they hit.
Therefore, under the leadership of Liu Ade, a "person who knows the times", they have descended!
Some of them wanted to wait for Vladivostok's ship to get close and engage in hand-to-hand combat, but God didn't give them a chance. It didn't take long for Yu Zhong's two thousand musketeers to clean up the rabble with only knives in their hands across the boat. Next, it was time to take prisoners and clean up the battlefield and clean up the spoils. And these are all specially done by Yuzhong's subordinates, and he only needs to take his subordinate generals to interrogate the enemy generals.
"Lao Tzu has never been so wronged, Liu Ade, you son of a bitch, if it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would have run away a long time ago! ......" On the flagship, that is, the "Triton", Cai Yin was escorted and knelt on the deck, but he was still unwilling, and wanted to stretch out his legs and kick Liu Ade who was kneeling beside him, but as a result, he was immediately pressed to the deck by the soldiers who escorted him behind him.
"This general, small, villain, please surrender,...... This person is Cai Yin, and he led people to burn the Fujian Sailor! ”
Liu Ade was also lying on the deck, looking at Yu Zhong who was sitting in front of him, and kept kowtowing, and at the same time, he unceremoniously pointed at Cai Yin and said loudly.
"Burned the Fujian Water Division?" Under Yu Zhong's subordinates, Nian Qianyao, Yue Zhongqi and some other generals were shocked by Liu Ade's words, and their eyes were wide for a while, and their faces were full of four words: unbelievable. Mader led them all the way south, but didn't tell them what had happened.
"That's right, it's the Fujian water master that Lao Tzu burned! …… Lao Tzu also blew up their cannons and fire, and let them nest in the harbor as shrunken turtles...... Come on, you have the ability to kill Lao Tzu! Haha, eighteen years later, another hero! …… Damn, Liu Ade, you wait, don't think that you can live if you sell Lao Tzu, Liu Qizhi rebelled, and the nine clans were punished, and all the men, women and children of your Liu clan had to be buried with them, hahaha......" Cai Yin's face was on the deck, laughing wildly, and shed a lot of tears and hahazi.
"You, you, you talk nonsense. I, I was just persecuted by Liu Qizhi, not to rebel......" Liu Ade's head was in a cold sweat, and his eyes couldn't stop peeking at Yu Zhong, who was sitting in front of him.
"Come on, shut these two guys' mouths!" Murcha shouted, and then asked Yu ** hand: "My lord, what is going on?" I would like to ask, what are we going south for this time? Is the Fujian sailor really ......? ”
With his words, the Vladivostok generals who gathered on the "Triton" all turned their eyes to Yu Zhong, waiting for an answer.
"It's come to this, and I won't hide it from everyone! …… Naoki! Yu Zhong pinched his nose and shouted to one of the servant army leaders standing beside him, his clothed house slave, who was now given the name "Hirohito Naoki".
"Master!" Naoki bowed in response.
"Invite General Zhang out, he must be able to suffocate enough to stay in the cabin......" Yu Zhong said.
"Wow!" Naoki received the order, and immediately turned around and went down to the cabin, and after a while, a military general who was only about twenty-seven or eighteen years old appeared on the deck, wearing the color of the imperial guard and wearing a three-rank crown.
"Zhang Yuxiang see Lord Dutong!" After the general went on deck, for ** karate. The third rank is the rank of the first-class imperial guard.
"Lord Zhang doesn't have to be polite!" Yu Zhong stood up, nodded to this Zhang Yuxiang, and then turned his head to his subordinates who were quietly waiting for an answer: "The Ministry of War gave me an official document, but because we had already gone to sea at that time, the emperor later sent Master Zhang to Vladivostok to deliver the decree. It's just that because of the importance of the matter, and the imperial court has been blocking the news from the inland and Manchuria, Lord Zhang has not appeared in public. Now if you have any questions, you can ask Master Zhang for advice! ”
"Master Zhang, what happened?"
Yu Zhong is not strict with his subordinates in terms of usual etiquette, so as soon as his voice fell, someone immediately asked Zhang Yuxiang.
"Generals, there is a mob rebellion in Taiwan......"
……
Zhang Yuxiang knew a lot of things, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he told the story of Liu Qizhi's rebellion in Taiwan. Everyone present was almost dumbfounded......
"Damn, these traitors are just going on shit luck, if we are Vladivostok, we will blow them into slag before we get close!" Under Yu Zhong's men, a somewhat fat-looking general shouted.
"Not bad. The power of the sea cucumber and the water master, the last general is really seeing is believing, and he has understood it. …… This Cai Yin also crisscrossed the southeast, and was also known as the 'second in the sea thunderbolt', but he didn't expect that in front of the generals, it was like a rotten wall, a piece of straw paper, and it would be broken with one blow. If this matter is known to the emperor or the ministers of the court, you will definitely not be able to run this great achievement. Zhang Yuxiang bowed his hand to the generals present.
"Hahaha, of course. Where are these guys worthy of being our opponents? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome this time, as long as the warship is filled with artillery, we can kill them with our 'Seawolf Three' alone...... Don't stay! A Vladivostok general shouted triumphantly, and as a result, under the gaze of the neutralizing people, his voice became smaller and quieter, until it was inaudible.
"Tomi!" Yu Zhong suddenly called Yue Zhongqi.
"The last general!"
"Our General Lu is too excited, send him to the sea to be sober!" Yu Zhong said lightly.
"Wow!" Yue Zhongqi clenched his fist at Yu Zhong, smiled evilly, and immediately pressed towards the general. Then, in Zhang Yuxiang's surprised eyes, the guy shouted "Yue Zhongqi, you dare to move Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not finished ......with you", and was really caught by Yue Zhongqi and thrown down...... I only heard the sound of "plopping", it seemed to be sinking!
"Lord Dutong, this ......" Seeing Yue Zhongqi clapping his hands casually and standing back in place, Zhang Yuxiang looked at Yu Zhong incomprehensibly.
"Lord Zhang, please rest assured, it's okay. That kid's name is Lu Buyi, he used to have a little friction with General Yue, and he was not honest after being taught a lesson, but later he was beaten once and caused trouble once, which is simply cheap! However, then again, General Yue cleaned him up all day long, and this kid's ability has risen! So, everyone is not surprised......" Yu Zhong explained with a smile.
"I see, it's funny! …… However, the last general felt that what General Lu said was not completely wrong, the Vladivostok Sailor Division had powerful artillery fire, and this group of rebels could not be compared at all, even if you only had one boat, according to the general, you could defeat them. Zhang Yuxiang smiled and praised everyone present.
"General Zhang, no matter how powerful a warship is, it is unlikely that it will be able to fight against more than thirty warships at the same time, especially since the other party also has artillery. Moreover, even if we have the advantage in battle, the enemy forces can scatter and flee. Wouldn't it be harder to catch? This time, if we hadn't discovered that the other party was the enemy in advance, and made arrangements before the other party found out, plus the other party had no command and resistance at all, our thirteen ships might not have been able to achieve the current results. Yu Zhong said.
"Yes, yes, what Lord Tsudo said is reasonable." Zhang Yuxiang nodded and replied. It was the lookout hand equipped with a clairvoyant on the "Triton" that discovered Cai Yin and his gang, pointing out that the other party was the enemy, but it was himself. Yu Zhong's words are equivalent to pulling him into the credit book, of course, it is very reasonable.
"My lord, did Lord Zhang come to us this time to pass the decree, do you want us to put down the rebellion in Taiwan?" Nian Qianyao held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I want to go! However, the emperor's will is for Yu Dutong to take the sailor to Dagukou first! Before Yu Zhong could answer, Zhang Yuxiang said again.
"Go to Dagukou?"
"Not bad. More than 570 artillery pieces made by the Fengtian Artillery Factory, the Beijing Palace Manufacturing Office, the Jingshan Artillery Factory, and the Blacksmith Battalion Artillery Factory over the past few years are waiting for the sailors to transport them at Dagukou! In addition, 1,500 soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion were also waiting there. The emperor asked the sea cucumber sailor to go to Tianjin first, transport these to Quanzhou, and hand them over to the Fujian sailor! Zhang Yuxiang replied.
"Five hundred and seventy guns?" Nian Qianyao and the others glanced at each other, it seems that Kangxi wants to kill this time, otherwise, how can there be so many artillery pieces to pacify a group of rabble? As for the speed of the soldiers, why didn't Kangxi rush to save Xu Yun and the others who were still in the capital of Taiwan, everyone present was smart and didn't ask. It's been so long, and Xu Yun only has so many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that he would have been killed by the imperial court a long time ago.
"Actually, these nearly 600 artillery pieces are said to have been prepared by the emperor for the Vladivostok Division!" Zhang Yuxiang said without being shocked.
"What?"
According to secret reports, under the contact of the Nanyang Tiandi Society, Taiwan's Liu Yi colluded with some Western Yi people who were interested in profit, and used a large amount of gold and silver looted in Taiwan to buy artillery, muskets, and ammunition, and also hired some foreign pirates for his own use. Therefore, the emperor was very angry and decided to equip all the artillery needed by the Vladivostok Navy Division and teach these traitors a hard lesson! "Zhang Yuxiang is worthy of being a first-class guard in front of the emperor, Kangxi's cronies, and opening his mouth is a secret.
"Really? It's great, let's let those guys take a good look at how good our sea cudivostok sailors are! Yu Zhong's blessed general cheered loudly.
"What are you happy about, Turha?" Yu Zhong glared at the guy and asked.
"My lord, we're going to be majestic! Hurry up to 1,000 artillery pieces, let's just use artillery bombardment to plow that piece of land in Taiwan! It's so refreshing to think about! Hahaha......" Turha laughed.
"Don't get complacent. This time the leader of the troops is Lan Li, the reinstated Admiral of the Fujian Navy, and the main force is also the Fujian Navy, but people are going to take revenge! …… In this battle, we are the transport team, transporting troops and artillery, and as for playing prestige, it is not your turn to go! Yu Zhong coldly threw out a sentence.
