Chapter 470: Shandong Water Division
As soon as he woke up, Chen Kan had just opened his eyes, and there was a loud shout outside the door.
"Master Hou, Shandong Sailor, Shandong Sailor's ship has arrived."
Outside the door, there was the voice of the guards.
Chen Kan sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and his whole person was a little confused.
Shandong Sailor, is it so fast?
However, since the fleet of the Shandong Navy Division has arrived, Chen Kan still has to go to see him.
After changing his clothes, Chen Kan walked out of the room.
Zhang Dong and a group of guards were already heavily armed guards on the deck.
Song Qing, Tan Cong, Dou Xing and others also led the guards to make a murderous look.
When the fleet of the Shandong Navy Division arrived, the commanders of the two sides were bound to meet.
There is also competition between sailors and sailors, military appearance, military discipline, military achievements, merits, and even the size of the ship and the small ship have to be compared.
Since the boss is going to meet, they, the mainstay of the Jiangnan Water Division, must not lose face to the Jiangnan Water Division.
So, high morale is just normal operation.
I'm afraid that there will be a lot of open and secret fighting later.
Chen Kan frowned and looked at the group of murderous generals, and didn't say much.
Not being convinced by each other is an old tradition in the army.
Moreover, Chen Kan has always allowed healthy competition to emerge in the military.
The reason why he frowned was just that he was just angry to get up.
took the clairvoyant mirror handed over by Zhang Dong, looked in the direction of Zhang Dong's finger, and sure enough, he saw a large fleet of military flags hunting and hunting towards Chen Kan's fleet.
A cursory look at the past shows that there will be no less than two hundred warships, and the leading treasure ships are even more oppressive, and their military appearance is far better than these slightly dilapidated ships under Chen Kan's command.
It's normal, after all, Chen Kan's fleet has just experienced an ocean voyage.
No matter how powerful the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty is, it is still made of wood after all, and it is inevitable that it will be eroded by the sea water on a long voyage to make it look not so good.
Of course, Chen Kan can treat it with a normal heart, and the generals around him are not happy.
"Tsk, this posture doesn't look like we're going to Nanyang to receive our results, it's like we're going to play."
Tan Cong was angry, and Dou Xing immediately picked up: "That's right, our Jiangnan sailors went to Nanyang to fight for life and death, their Shandong sailors are good, and they go south leisurely, as long as we transport our loot back, it will be a great achievement, is there anything better in the world than this?" ”
The strange voices of the two of them came into Chen Kan's ears, and Chen Kan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"If you want me to see, what kind of sailor does Shandong want, Your Majesty should expand their treasure ship to our Jiangnan Sailor, go out to sea, and you can transport the spoils back by the situation, why bother you to come and go."
Even Song Qing, who has always been calm, couldn't help but say yin and yang at this time.
Chen Kan automatically ignored the yin and yang strange voices of the generals under his command, and after the fleet of the Shandong Navy Division could gradually see the whole picture clearly, he ordered: "Order, order the Shandong Navy Division to stop at a distance of three miles from our army, otherwise it will be regarded as an attack on our army, and our army will retaliate." ”
Chen Kan's orders were passed on to the flag bearers, and the cruisers in front waved their flags, and after a moment of exchange, they saw that the opposing fleet slowly slowed down the speed of sailing.
Back on the deck, Chen Kan quietly waited for the master of the Shandong Navy Division to come over for a meeting.
He is a triumphant party, so naturally there is no reason for him to meet the other party's main general.
However, the other party did not let him wait for a long time, and half an hour later, a cruiser with the same standard as the Jiangnan Navy Division, but under the banner of the Shandong Navy Division, stopped in front of Chen Kan's treasure ship.
The two cruisers of the Jiangnan Navy Division drove forward to meet them, and after a short time, a burly general took his own soldiers down the ladder to the treasure ship.
The moment the pro-troops of the two sides met, the atmosphere became tense.
On the contrary, it was the two main generals who smiled and bowed their hands.
"Master Hou, it's been a long time."
Chen Kan greeted him with a smile: "I never thought that it was the uncle who personally led the troops to lead the troops, Ben Hou is very honored." ”
The chief general of the Shandong Navy Division is Guangning Bo Liu Rong.
Regarding the name Liu Rong, Chen Kan knew more about this person in his previous life than he did after coming to Daming.
After coming to Daming, Chen Kan often dealt with either the Hou Ye or the Father, and the Uncle had less dealings.
The reason why Chen Kan understood this person in his previous life was inseparable from two words, that is, anti-Japanese.
Liu Rong was a famous anti-Japanese general during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
The history of the Ming Dynasty's resistance to the Japanese began as early as the Hongwu period, but from the Hongwu year to the Jianwen period and then to the Yongle period, the Japanese have never posed any substantial threat to the Ming Dynasty.
Historically, the real damage caused by the Japanese to the Ming Dynasty was in the seventeenth year of Yongle.
Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese have continued to harass the Central Plains Maritime Frontier, burning people's houses, plundering goods and wealth, from Liaohai and Shandong in the north, to Fujian, Zhejiang, and Dongyue in the south.
In order to prevent the attack of the Japanese from harassing Quang Ninh Liu Rong to judge the situation, please build a castle at Wanghaipot in the northwest of Jinxian Island, set up a beacon fire, and wait for the army.
In June of the seventeenth year of Yongle, fireworks broke out on the southeast island, and Liu Rong hurriedly led his troops to rush there.
More than 30 ships arrived, anchored at Machung Island, and landed and ran to Wanghaipot. Liu Rong set up an ambush in the mountains, and sent another general to cut off his way back, meet him with infantry, and pretend to retreat.
The thieves entered the ambush area, the cannons rang out, and after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the thieves were defeated. The thieves fled to the empty castle of the cherry orchard. Liu Rong let go of the west wall and let them go, and then divided into two ways to flank them, annihilating them all.
In the first battle of the pot, Liu Rong beheaded more than 1,000 people and captured 130 people. Since this battle, the Japanese have suffered a heavy setback, and they dare not invade the Ming Dynasty again, and they are known as the great victory of Wanghaigong.
Therefore, Liu Rong can be called the second person in the Central Plains before Qi Jiguang to resist the Japanese after Liu Renyuan, who commanded the battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty.
In front of Liu Rong, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun, Yu Datou and other famous anti-Japanese generals are all juniors.
Although Liu Rong does not have the famous Wanghaipot victory now, but with his ability to win the Wanghaipot victory in history, Chen Kan is also willing to show the most sincere attitude to receive him.
The two bowed to each other, leaving the guards to compete with each other, and then joined hands on the deck to the table that had been prepared for a long time.
Chen Kan sat down on his own seat, and stretched out his hand to Liu Rong with a smile: "Ben Hou has returned from a long voyage, there is really nothing good to entertain the uncle on the ship, and please forgive the uncle." ”
"Where does Master Hou say, how can it be said that there are no good things in this meat and vegetables."
Liu Rong and Chen Kan politely said a word and sat with the guests.
Song Qing acted as a waiter for the two and was responsible for pouring wine for the two coaches.
Chen Kan picked up the wine glass and motioned to Liu Rong: "Uncle is a guest from afar, this cup, this marquis respects you." ”
"How dare you dare, Hou Ye went on an expedition to the South Seas and returned from a great victory, and all my sailors were greatly encouraged, this cup should be my respect for Hou Ye."
Liu Rong dodged again and again, Chen Kan was helpless, so he had to laugh and say, "What about it?" ”
"Come together, Master Hou, please."
"Uncle, please."
The two exchanged polite gestures, and finally drank their glasses of wine at the same time.
After drinking the wine and raising their glasses to each other, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Liu Rong personally poured a full glass of wine for Chen Kan and said: "Lord Hou raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away in this battle, and I respect Lord Hou for this cup." ”
"Hey, drink together, drink together to ......"
“......”
The two toasted each other, and after three glasses of wine in a row, they began to eat.
The etiquette of officialdom has been done, and then you can get down to business.
Liu Rong put a chopstick bean sprout into his mouth, chewed for a while and swallowed it, then put down the chopsticks, looked at Chen Kan and asked: "Hou Ye, this time I will be ordered by the emperor to go south to Nanyang, saying that it is to help Zheng Shuai transfer the wealth accumulated by Manchuria and Sumatra, but Ben Jiang knows a little about Nanyang, can you please ask Hou Ye to solve the confusion for Ben General, what is the real situation in Nanyang now?" ”
Speaking of the topic, Chen Kan also became serious.
began to elaborate on the current situation in Nanyang for Liu Rong.
After all, Liu Rong is here to help, not to grab credit, and Chen Kan doesn't need to embarrass him in this kind of thing.
"There are many countries in the South Seas, but if you want to say that the rich in the country must be the countries on both sides of the strait, as the uncle saw, the Jiangnan Navy Division under the command of Ben Hou was originally equipped with more than 300 warships, but nearly two-thirds were left to Zheng Shuai by Ben Hou, Zheng He combined more than 400 ships, and it was not possible to transfer the wealth of the two countries......"
Chen Kan started straightforwardly, and then he couldn't stop.
The customs of the South Seas, the relationship between countries, and even the domestic political situation of the indigenous countries of the South Seas.
Anyway, the news that Chen Kan got from Zheng He was basically all revealed.
Half an hour passed.
And in the past half an hour, the guards under the command of the two may have been tired, and they no longer maintained the tense atmosphere when they first met.
Instead, he began to talk about Nanyang on his shoulders.
Of course, it was mainly the people under Chen Kan who were responsible for speaking out and pretending to be forced, and the people brought by Liu Rong were responsible for exclamation.
Chen Kan talked with Liu Rong for a long time, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he bowed his hand to Liu Rong and said: "Uncle, these are the specific matters in Nanyang, and the specific situation requires Uncle to go to Nanyang in person." ”
"Thank you Master Hou for your doubts, I will leave here."
Having said that, Liu Rong didn't want to stay on the ship longer.
No one wants to procrastinate.
After all, everyone knows that there will be losses in the process of transshipment of goods and goods.
Chen Kan nodded, and did not hold back.
Although he was now eager to know the current situation of these countries around the Ming Dynasty, Liu Rong was going to carry out a military mission after all.
If he had to ask Chen Kan for specific information today, he would not stop the ship.
"I'll send it to Uncle."
Chen Kan personally sent Liu Rong to the deck and watched Liu Rong go away with his guards.
As soon as Liu Rong's personal guards left, the generals on the treasure ship were instantly relieved.
There's no way, it's also tiring to pretend to be forced.
An hour later, Liu Rong's fleet began to set sail, and Chen Kan also ordered to continue north.
The two sides just passed by.
