Of course, Nian Qianyao is not stupid, although he has never experienced any major battles in military affairs because of Yu Zhongren, and he has no experience in commanding a large army to fight, but after all, his many years of military literacy are not put there for people to see in vain, and what kind of results will be achieved when retreating to Dagong Port Yu Zhong understands, and he naturally knows it clearly.

Therefore, his retreat to the port of Dagon was actually only a superficial arrangement.

It was not only his Western Sea Division that withdrew from Ceylon, but also some merchant ships that had not had time to retreat, and after receiving the news of the enemy from the three warships that had finally escaped under the ambush of the British Navy, he immediately made the decision to retreat after being stubborn about the warning. Not long after he retreated, he ordered the three broken warships to lead the merchant ships to continue to retreat to Dagon Harbor under the banner of his Western Sea Division, and as for himself, he led the remaining fourteen warships to make a small turn, and then "inserted" backwards! …… The European coalition forces were unable to completely annihilate the Western Sea Division, fearing that the delay would cause the Qing army to take strict precautions, so after a brief military meeting, the huge fleet immediately divided into two routes, one to Ceylon with the intention of eliminating Nian Qianyao, and the other to Temasek, intending to seize control of Malacca with lightning speed. And Nian Qianyao, with his keen military sense, easily broke out between the two coalition forces. However, it is clear that he has no intention of attacking the Maldives, the only possible rear base of the European coalition. Because in that case, even if he can attract some coalition forces to turn around, in addition to revealing his own whereabouts and being pursued by the coalition forces, the huge coalition forces will have enough strength to complete the raids on Dagon Port and Temasek. So, he went around from the south of the Maldives......

As for why part of the coalition forces was directed to the port of Dagon...... This is also a last resort for Nian Qianyao! On the one hand, Yu Zhong may be the first person to know the news that the European coalition has arrived, and with Nian Qianyao's knowledge, even if the imperial court does not take it to heart, it is impossible for this Zhenyuan general not to make a certain defense. The Chinese merchant ships in Ceylon almost all had some "friendship" with someone in his year. In this case, it would be much better to send it to Dagon and hand it over to Yu Zhong, who is already on guard, than to be at a loss for the matter. After all, although he has already sent someone to inform Temasek to strengthen its defense, it is not something that can be done by talking!

As for his bad attitude towards Zhong, this is even more worry-free, thinking that Zhongzhong is a person, even if he wants to kill him. It should also not be difficult for those small shrimp fields. On the other hand, he did so because Dagon is close and Temasek is far away! Merchant ships are already slower than warships, and if they make a long way back to Temasek, they may be caught up before they arrive, and they will become lambs to the slaughter in front of a powerful coalition force. If you go to Dagon Port, although there is still a certain degree of danger, it is also safer than going back to Temasek. If you really can't do it, you can always save your life by leaving the caravan and taking a clipper.

Arguably. I think so thoroughly between not being busy. Nian Qianyao has shown his extremely high talent, but since he led the troops to "insert" the Maldives. For a long time, he and his Western Sea Master did not have any news to send back.

………………

A month later!

"Bang ......"

The heavy imperial case in the upper study was kicked to the ground by Kangxi, and the things on the case were scattered all over the ground. The ministers below were so shocked that they hurriedly hid to the side...... This is made of high-quality rosewood, and its weight is incomparable, and several big men can lift it together, but I didn't expect that Kangxi, who was angry, actually kicked it down. If this thing hits you, won't it break your tendons? However, although the imperial case is serious, how can it compare to the current situation? Three ministers in the upper study. The scholars of the six departments, the heads of the Li Fan Academy, and several scholars all lowered their heads, for fear that Kangxi would spill his anger on his head.

"Little barbarian, how dare you bully me like this...... What does the Admiral of the South China Sea Navy do to eat land? The rage made Kangxi's thin face almost deformed, and his eyes even showed a gaze that almost wanted to eat people.

If it's Russia, if it's Dzungar...... These are all easy to say, but a few European barbarians dare to run and slap the face of the Great Qing Kingdom. How could he not be angry? What is especially hateful is that after the loss of Temasek, a large number of Western pirates went deep into the South Seas like wasps, and some even ran to the southeast and southeast seas to "disturb" them! Nowadays, from Hainan and Guangzhou in the south to Lianyungang in the north, there are military newspapers everywhere. What's more, after those Western ghosts got cheap, they actually sent some envoys to ask for negotiations, to cede India, Burma and Nanyang, and to compensate two million taels of silver...... Do you really think you're a group of characters? Geldan didn't dare to be so arrogant back then, it was simply bearable, which one was unbearable!

"Your Majesty, Admiral Lan Tingzhen of the South China Sea Navy has already strengthened Temasek's defense after receiving the holy decree...... However, I didn't expect that those Westerners would have such a strong strength this time! Temasek's defender Lee Joon was not strict and lacklustre, and he led his troops out without authorization, so that when he encountered the enemy, there were less than 2,000 soldiers in the city to fight, and he could face hundreds of enemy ships and tens of thousands of enemy troops...... Alas! Shi Shi's face was dark, and he didn't know what to say. The Nanyang area is vast, although after ten years of occupation and development, there are still many places still in the barbaric era, so many generals of the South China Sea Navy Division will go out to hunt wild food to catch foreign pieces. But who would have thought that this would happen this time? This Li Zhun is such a bastard! Temasek was originally built as a fortress, and although there were only 5,000 defenders, with the ammunition stored in it and the strength of the city defenses, the enemy may not be able to defeat it easily with 50,000 troops. But...... It seems that this kid is going to die!

"Where's Li Zhun?" Kangxi gritted his teeth and shouted hatefully.

"It has been taken by Lan Tingzhen in Luzon, and now it has been solved to Guangzhou!" Tong Guowei hurriedly replied.

"Kill! Send me all three of them to the Frontier! Kangxi shouted with a hideous face.

"Slaves obey!" Shocked by Kangxi's roar, Tong Guowei hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is not the time to be held accountable, the key is how to get this game back!"

Zhang Yanyu took a deep breath and paced out and said to Kangxi.

"Where is the barbarian messenger now?" Kangxi didn't pay attention to Zhang Tingyu, but asked Yisan'a, the secretary of the Li Fan Yuan, with a gloomy face.

"Return to the Emperor. After the barbarian envoy landed in Shanghai, he was bombed away by Ma De, the governor of Jiangnan, before he arrived in Jiangning! Ethan secretly complained. Since he took over as the secretary of the Imperial Academy, he has not had a good life. As soon as he took office, he was impeached for excessive publicity, if it weren't for Kangxi's cover, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to stay in Beijing, and then there was Yu Zhong's change of land and return to the river in Yunnan, Yu Zhong's kid did a good job in Yunnan, and he was busy in Beijing. It's better now, damn it, the Westerners have actually united to fight the two seas in the southeast, if you wait any longer, won't even the Bohai Sea be dangerous? But danger is danger, and he has no friendship with Westerners, and he can't scold others for not preaching...... It's just that he didn't know anything before the enemy attacked, and he estimated that he was probably going to retire as the secretary of the Imperial Academy.

"Blown away?" Kangxi asked with a frown.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ethan took a secret breath. I want to open it, too. Anyway, Yu Zhong had already warned the imperial court before that. But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't take it seriously, although he had to take on a lot of responsibility, but he didn't have to carry it all on his shoulders. Even if you don't do this, you can't do it. He can go back to be a rich man, maybe in two years, Kangxi will think of him and transfer him back to the court.

Therefore, his nervous mood was also relieved a lot because of this thought.

"Why?" Kangxi asked again.

"The envoy was arrogant, and before he arrived in Jiangning, he made it clear what he intended to do, and when Ma De heard about it, he immediately sent someone to escort him back to Shanghai, told him to get out, and told his subordinates: If you want to negotiate peace, you can wait until the king, queen and the like of their country are brought to the Forbidden City!" Ethan replied with a bow.

"Well said!" Kangxi's hand slapped down violently. But he felt that his subordinates were empty and powerless, and then he remembered that the imperial case had been kicked over by himself, and he couldn't help but have a slight red "color" on his face. When Tong Guowei and the others saw him, they immediately called the guards outside the door in and rearranged the imperial case. This royal case is made of high-quality rosewood, which is stronger than steel, and although it has fallen, it has not fallen out of any "fault". However, those priceless paperweights, inkstones, etc., do not have this kind of good luck. Especially the "Emperor's Treasure" imperial seal on the case, it seems that something is not good......

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Ma De's move is a bit excessive." After the imperial case was re-arranged, Kangxi looked at the cracked imperial seal, and regretted it slightly. Eventually, though, he stopped taking it to heart. There are more imperial seals in the Qing Dynasty, more than 20 pieces! Although each has its own uses, however, this "Emperor's Treasure" is a total of two pieces, this one has a "fault" problem, and then use the other piece, it is really not good, and another piece is just to make another piece, who dares to say that his is not not impossible?

After adjusting his mentality in this way, he glanced at the ministers below again, and before he could speak, among the people present, he was probably the oldest courtier, but the scholar of the Wuying Palace, Ni Yahan, came forward to speak.

"Oh? What's wrong with Mader? Kangxi's face, which had just been soothed, was clouded again.

At this time, not to mention bombing away the messenger, even killing him, he didn't think it was too much.

"Your Majesty, Ma De's expulsion of the Western envoys from the country is certainly a pleasure, but his doing so will inevitably make the Western barbarians angry and embarrassed, so that they will become even worse. Now, the Western barbarians have caused calamity to the East China Sea and the South Sea, disturbing our maritime frontiers, making it impossible for our naval division to gather forces to meet the enemy, and the coastal people have suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the slave thought that it was better to follow the invitation of the barbarians for peace talks...... "Ni Yahan didn't know if it was old and dizzy, so he didn't see Kangxi's face, but just replied to himself.

"This old guy doesn't want to live anymore!" Listening to Ni Yahan's words, Tong Guowei and the others shook their heads secretly.

This Niyahan was originally a general of the Xi Dynasty, and the official was the general of Zhennan, but unfortunately his skills were limited, and he was good at pretending to be smart, so he had lost many battles. However, his qualifications are old enough, his background is good, and he has fought some victories behind others, so that he can still become a scholar of Wuyingdian after his military power is released, but it is clear that this old man has not learned the lessons of the past.

"According to the barbarian peace talks? Hmph, Nyahan, do you think I'm the kind of person who is afraid of things? Sure enough, Kangxi's tone became more and more heavy.

"The emperor is eloquent and strategic, and his martial arts are rare through the ages, so he is naturally not a person who is afraid of things. The minions just thought. The enemy at sea is difficult to get rid of, so the imperial court has agreed to the request of the Western barbarians to negotiate peace, and can first ask them to stop disturbing our maritime territory, so that our naval division can join forces and quickly destroy the enemy at sea and drive him out of Temasek...... Your Majesty, the minions are actually not just a plan to delay the army! Nyahan replied with a staggering bow.

"Hmph. Paper! Empty words! Kangxi was about to stare at Ni Yahan, and he really wanted to kick this old man outside the Forbidden City. Can you destroy a stubborn enemy in one place? Still out of Temasek? Who does this old guy think he is? If it was so easy, would he still need to be so angry? That's right, the current Qing court sailors are not small, but the sea is boundless, and the pirates are as slippery as ghosts, are they so easy to deal with? What's more, the strength of the fleet of the Western Alliance is extremely not weak! Although the South China Sea Naval Division fought hard against it, it still had to retreat to Luzon after suffering huge losses...... That's the strongest one in the Great Qing Kingdom!

"Your Majesty. The minister is willing to ask for an order to send troops. Pacify the four seas and restore the territory! "As a Han Chinese, there is another brother who has become the Zhengqing of Dali Temple. And this brother still has a lot of influence in the household department, and there may be a broader future, so Shi Shiji has no chance to be the secretary of the military department! However, the father and son are the first sailors for two generations, and he has always been in charge of the affairs of the sailors, and now that he has been bullied, even if he has a calm temper, he is also warlike! As for what the old man had just said, he had just turned a deaf ear. Blow it over!

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to send troops at this time, if you provoke the Westerners, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the sea frontier!

If they are provoked to come to the Bohai Sea, just the Zhili Sailor may not be enough to resist, and when the time comes, Gyeonggi will shake, and the world will be uneasy! Kyaw Luo Wu Murne, who was with Nyahan, also stood up and said loudly.

"Enough! What you both say. I don't know what to say at all! Thinking of my Qing Dynasty, as a big country in the Celestial Empire, I was bullied by a group of clowns who jumped off the beam, and I still have to be timid, how can I convince the public with such an act? My emperor did not avoid arrows and stones back then, and personally conquered the Western Regions, but now he will be afraid of a few Western barbarians? What if the Naoli Sailor can't stop it? I don't believe it, just a few barbarians can still fight into the Fengtai camp, Miyun camp and the capital guarded by 100,000 soldiers? Ma Qi had not spoken, and at this time he suddenly stared at Niahan and Wu Murne, and shouted sharply.

"What Ma Xiang said is indeed not bad, just a few barbarians, of course, it is impossible to enter Beijing.

Moreover, even if they are given the guts, they may not dare to attack Beijing. However, have you ever thought about it, if the Western barbarians defeat the Zhili Navy Division and the soldiers are in Jinmen, then what kind of situation will the world be "chaotic"? Nyahan retorted loudly.

"The robbers of the Western countries have become 'sex', bullying the weak and fearing the hard, not understanding etiquette, not knowing morality, and only knowing how to seek profit. Although he proposed it early, he was not necessarily willing to negotiate peace with the imperial court now, so the lion opened his mouth and asked us to cede Nanyang, Burma, and India as soon as he came up, and what he did was just asking for a sky-high price. However, if the imperial court agrees to them now, it will be tantamount to showing weakness to the enemy, and at that time, they will probably be even more reluctant to let us sit on the ground and repay the money, and they will only intensify their efforts, and maybe, they will also ask the imperial court to cede the Taiwan lands again, so they must not agree to their demands! Zhang Tingyu said stiffly.

"Your Majesty, the enemy at sea needs to be repelled at sea...... If not, it will come again, and the consequences will be endless! I have six major naval divisions in the Celestial Empire, and now there is no Western Sea Division (Nian Qianyao has no news, and the Qing court thinks that the game is over), the South China Sea Naval Division has suffered heavy losses, and the Zhili Naval Division and the Manchurian Naval Division need to guard the northern seas, but the two major naval divisions of the North Sea and the East China Sea are still there. And now that the battlefield is in the waters of our Great Qing Dynasty, the imperial court can organize a large number of sailors to suppress the enemy at any time, as long as there is perseverance, it will win. The minister is also willing to lead the two major naval divisions of the East China Sea and the North China Sea to converge with the rest of the naval divisions of the South China Sea, first seize Temasek, and then close the door and fight the dogs. Let these barbarians come and go! Shi Shiji walked to the front of Kangxi's imperial case, knelt down on one knee, and said in a loud voice.

"Hmph, how can Shi Shilang have so much confidence? Don't let the coastal people suffer for the sake of your own military exploits! Wu Mooner pouted and said.

"Enough! Since I came to power, I have never been a pretending to be an enemy. Back then, Wu Sangui took half of my country, and I never showed weakness, let alone today? Kangxi scolded Wu Mooner loudly.

………………

"Huang Ama, Huang Ama ......"

As soon as Kangxi's words came out, it was tantamount to showing his determination, and everyone was about to discuss how to deploy troops, when two calls came in! Then, everyone saw the thirteenth son of the emperor Yinxiang and the fourteenth son of the emperor Yinyu pushed the royal guards who blocked the way and broke in.

"What are you two doing here? How bold you are to trespass into the study without being called! Looking at these two sons, Kangxi said loudly and angrily.

"Emperor Ama, the retainers have come to ask for battle!" It didn't seem to hear Kangxi's angry shouts, and the two princes knelt down and shouted as soon as they came in.

"Please? What do you know? Get out of here! Kangxi shouted angrily again.

"Huang Ama! Now that the barbarians have invaded our Qing Dynasty, Erchen, as a military general, should serve the country, how can you ignore the request of Erchen for your own selfishness? Yinyu shouted.

"Son!" Kangxi was furious, "The major affairs of the family and the country, how can I not know the proportions?" If you don't let you go to war, it's for your own selfishness? Hmph, do you think you're very capable? Now that even Yu Zhong has to temporarily retreat to northern Burma to give way to the enemy, will you two be able to beat them? ”

"Huang Ama, the Xikou thief is in good health, and General Yu's temporary retreat is just a temporary measure. (Text: 'heart', hand, 'hit', group, hand, hit, 'whole')

Erchen is willing to lead a large army to support.

and set up a military order, not to retreat from Xikou, and the sons and daughters swore not to return to the division! Yinxiang said loudly.

"I don't know how thick the sky is! If this battle was so easy, would I still need to gather so many people to discuss? Come on, fork them out! Kangxi shouted loudly again.

"Huang Ama......" Yinxiang and Yinyu shouted.

"Didn't you hear? Drag it out! Seeing that a group of imperial guards were stunned for a moment after hearing Yinxiang and Yinyu's shouts, Kangxi's anger surged up again. His two sons are actually very good, and when it comes to military affairs, they can be regarded as having a set. It's a pity that these two boys are courageous, but they are too reckless. This time, we discussed why he didn't call someone from the upper clan? On the one hand, it is true that Prince Yu Fuquan and other generals who can recruit good battlefields are no longer there, and most of the more capable princes have been put away by him, and there are few talents available in the clan, on the other hand, why not for the sake of Ai Xinjue Luo? The Westerners came too suddenly, and the court was caught off guard. Now, by virtue of its maritime superiority, the other party has used a large number of pirates to entangle the imperial court sailors and cannot go south, and is in a dominant position of attacking and retreating. Even if the imperial court can win in the end, it must be in a situation of being beaten in the early stage. In such a situation, how can you send your own son to fight? Is it easy for him to raise these two sons? Even if you want to send it, you will have to wait until the war begins to turn around in the future!

"Shi Shifat!" Seeing that Yinxiang and Yinyu were both driven out, Kangxi shouted at Shi Shiji again.

"The minister is here!" Shi Shifat kowtowed.

"I have ordered you to be the general of Jinghai, to command the four sea divisions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and to give you the right to control the provinces south of Zhili and the coastal garrisons in various parts of the South Seas...... Remember, if you don't drive Xikou out of the South Seas and out of my Daqing Sea, I won't allow you to return to Beijing! Kangxi said sharply.

"Obey the order!" Shi Shiji hugged his fists violently and answered loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is urgent!" As soon as Shi Shifu stood up, the imperial guard broke in with a copy of the recital.

"What's the matter?" Tong Guowei asked urgently.

"General Zhenyuan reported in the middle of the urgency: The naval division of the Western coalition army attacked Calcutta, a large port in eastern India, with 100 warships and 30,000 troops.

Today, the Western coalition has divided India and Burma from China and cut off the connection between our army and India. The troops were divided into two routes, and launched a fierce attack on Burma from the southwest at the same time, with the potential to enter the hinterland of Yunnan and Guizhou! ”

"What?"
