Chongzhen Undergraduates

For this reason, Zeng Ying directly sent Li Zhanchun over, and dispatched half of the troops to him, and asked him to cooperate with Yu Dahai's navy to prepare to fight the spirit of the Xinchuan army in Fuzhou.

Li Zhanchun led his people to wait in Fuzhou for half a month, but there was no sign of the Xinchuan Army.

What is Zhu Youjian doing at this time?Zhu Youjian is renovating warships in the Golden River Valley in Chungju.

"Your Majesty, why does this ship look like a hedgehog?" Ji Biao looked at the thorny warship, wondering what Zhu Youjian was going to do.Didn't it mean that the navy on the river relied on jumping from gangs to fight on board?

"Hey, we only have [-] boats, don't we make them look like hedgehogs and be swallowed by others?" Zhu Youjian instructed the craftsmen to work while smoking a cigarette pot.At this time, hookah pipes have become popular in Sichuan, but he is not used to smoking that stuff, he is still used to smoking a dry tobacco pot.

The Huangjin River next to Zhongzhou is arranged vertically and horizontally. Zhu Youjian hid the warships here and simply modified them, which is very deceptive.

"How many days has Li Zhanchun been in Fuzhou?"

"It has been eighteen days since we arrived at Kuimen."

"Yu Dahai's navy is still in Fuzhou?"

"Yu Dahai doesn't seem to want to be our enemy. He just let the navy patrol around Chongqing and Fuzhou, and the main force stopped in Fuzhou."

"Let's go tomorrow morning, and go to the Chongqing Navy for a while." Zhu Youjian took a deep breath and found that there was no tobacco in the tobacco pot, and then threw it to Ji Biao.He doesn't have the habit of knocking on cigarette pots, so he would become an old man from northern Shaanxi.

Ji Biao, on the other hand, was quick to finish the tobacco pot, knocked it hard on a stone a few times, and carefully filled the pot with shredded tobacco.

Two days later, the bells in Fuzhou City were ringing loudly. From a distance, Li Zhanchun saw a large group of troops dressed in Ming army approaching Fuzhou along the south bank of the river.On the river, twenty warships rowed upstream with all their might.

"Hurry up and inform General Yu that the imperial army is coming." Li Zhanchun was very excited. After waiting for so long, he finally saw the "elite" of the imperial court.

That's right, from what he saw, this was definitely an elite group.At least the guys in their hands are very uniform, unlike Liu Wenxiu's soldiers who are all holding various weapons.

In this era, these generals in Chuanzhong saw that the so-called elite is about able to hold weapons well and stand in line without chaos.

"Damn it, it's finally here. I thought they ran back to Yiling." Yu Dahai yelled, and the sailors in Chongqing immediately hoisted their sails and prepared to fight.

"General, there's going to be a war, why don't you have dinner yet?" A soldier asked in a low voice, dissatisfied.

"You son of a bitch, you know how to eat with just a squeak. I will let the arson boat out later, and I will let you, you bitch, have a good meal." Yu Dahai was absolutely sure of this battle.

He had already seen clearly that the opponent only had twenty warships, although they were a bit big, but they were not many after all.He looked at the countless arson bamboo rafts behind him, full of satisfaction.

Zhu Youjian has no naval generals available now, so he can only go into battle by himself.Although he didn't understand water warfare, he never thought about fighting in real life.Adhering to the strategy of fighting if he can, and running if he can't win, he just took the navy out for a walk.

When the warship traveled five miles to the Fuzhou River, it saw small bamboo rafts floating upriver, and the bamboo rafts were full of firewood.

The most depressing thing is Dang Shousu. The task Zhu Youjian gave him was to take his subordinates and the recently recruited Tan brothers' subordinates to camp on the other side of the Wujiang River. The main purpose was to watch the battle.

Hesitation is going up the ship, Dang Shousu and the others are going faster than Zhu Youjian's warship.Or in fact, they had already arrived in a mountain valley less than ten miles away from here three days ago.

The march of this Ming army was almost like a spring outing, and they looked like they were alive, otherwise Li Zhanchun would not have seen their military appearance so neat.People are completely useless, they are all in the queue along the way.

"Look, Your Majesty, the arson ship is coming." Ji Biao pointed his finger, and then screamed strangely.As far as the battle of those arson boats is concerned, it still looks quite scary, with a large swath of black covering the entire river.

"Don't panic, everyone take out their headscarves and cover their faces with water." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he first got a triangular towel, soaked it in a bucket, and then put it on his face.

The Sichuan people are still very brave. Those single soldiers who drove the arson bamboo rafts approached Zhu Youjian's warship at a certain distance and ignited the firewood on the bamboo rafts, and then they jumped into the river desperately. Then desperately rowed towards the shore.

For such soldiers who are not afraid of death, Zhu Youjian is naturally extremely jealous. He didn't even order to attack these people, but just let them go.

"Okay!" Yu Dahai shouted happily as he saw the arsonist ship burning and pounced on the court navy from afar.

So far, the naval warships of the imperial court have not fired a single shot. Yu Dahai thinks that the commander of the other party is definitely a child or a fool. Such a good opportunity was wasted, and what awaits them is to be burned.

The arson boat approached the Yangtze River Navy warship, but they were all blocked ten meters away.The warship was covered with thorns, and the sides of the ship were covered with iron rods, and the arsonist ship could not get close at all.

"Quickly, pump water to put out the fire." Zhu Youjian hurriedly ordered, and countless soldiers immediately rushed out from the leading boats. They were in groups of three, and threw a black cloth-like object into the river, and then two The person lifts a balance pole and shakes it vigorously up and down.Then the third person pointed the black cloth belt at the bamboo rafts, and in a blink of an eye, a stream of water rushed straight to the burning bamboo rafts, and the fire on the bamboo rafts was quickly extinguished.

Yu Dahai couldn't see the battle situation of the Yangtze River Navy for the time being, and thought that there were too many arsonist ships. From his position, the flames had completely surrounded the opponent's warships.

According to this situation and the situation, the opponent must be doomed, ah sin!Yu Hai then thought.

"Turtle sons, let's eat." In a good mood, Yu Dahai waved his hand, and took his sailors to eat in the cabin.

Although there was no danger to Zhu Youjian's side, everyone who wore it was smoked into Bao Gong.Although the fire on the arsonist ship was easy to extinguish, the firewood covered all the warships with unburned green smoke, which was poisonous. Fortunately, Zhu Youjian prepared a turban cloth to wrap his face in advance.

Dang Shousu didn't understand what they wanted to see. Could it be that they wanted them to stand on Jiangbei to see how embarrassed the officers and soldiers were?Seeing the fire in the middle of the river, Dang Shousu wanted to jump into the river to save people. He felt that the emperor would probably die.

But Zhu Youjian gave him an order in advance, and he can't act rashly without the sound of the bugle.Dang Shousu has been in the army for more than a year at any rate, and his bugles have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the army.He dared not disobey the command.

"Your Majesty, this eucommia glue pipe is broken again." Ji Biao picked up a water pipe from the water and threw it on the deck of the ship.

Zhu Youjian felt distressed when he saw it.Eucommia gum is not as good as rubber, and it is also very expensive. This one costs about ten taels of silver. I don't know if it can be taken home and reused.

According to his cost calculation, Eucommia gum can only be used to produce some kind of condom so as not to lose money.If it weren't for the fact that bamboo is not easy to seal quickly and takes up space, how could he be willing to use such an expensive thing to play with a water gun.

"General, the imperial navy is calling." Yu Dahai hadn't finished his meal when he heard the unfavorable news, and he was so frightened that he quickly dropped the bowl and chopsticks.

From a distance, Yu Dahai saw the navy of the imperial court rushing towards him again, and there were actually twenty warships, but the hulls of the ships were pitch black with smoke.

"Da Ming Wan Sheng! Da Ming Wan Sheng!" On the bank, Dang Shousu's subordinates cheered and applauded loudly.

Chapter 3 and One: Smoking Bags and Pots in Duogong City

It was only when Dahai hurriedly brought the warship of the Chongqing Navy to meet him that he discovered the characteristics of the opponent's ship. It looked like a big hedgehog. The key was that the thorns were not thick, but thin and long. In this era, it is a very thin iron thorn.

"Rush up and bend those iron spikes." Yu Haihai relied on his own experience, as long as the big ship bumped into it, the opponent's iron spikes would definitely bend off. He thought it was too thin for him.

Immediately, the Chongqing Navy went crazy, and Yang Fan slammed downstream. The soldiers on both sides were terrified, and they were waiting for the moment of impact to lose their balance.

But what is strange is that the Chongqing ship hit the iron spike, but the iron spike did not bend, but pushed back downstream against the Yangtze River navy boat.

"Huh! So hard?" Yu Dahai was surprised.What iron is this made of?

According to Daming's level of iron smelting, such a thin iron thorn would either be bent or broken directly, how could it withstand such an impact.

The ships of the Yangtze River Navy were knocked back one after another, and the distance between the two sides was already very close.At this time, Zhu Youjian still didn't order to attack. He just asked the soldiers to put up their shields on the ship's side to resist the opponent's crossbow arrows.

Yu Dahai is also open, since you don't attack me, then I won't attack you either.The sailors on both sides were like two strong men wrestling their arms, paddling their oars desperately to try to make the other party overwhelmed and finally admit defeat.

This kind of top-notch fighting and killing shouts are loud, but it's actually quite boring.The two sides fought until dark, except for a few lightly wounded who fell down, no one died.

It was getting dark, and both sides rang the gong to withdraw their troops!And each sent a soldier with a loud voice to make an appointment to fight again at another day.

It was when Dahai led his men back to the Fuzhou River, a large group of gentry rewarded the laborers with wine and meat.

"Soldiers have worked hard today. A little care is not polite, so I hope you will accept it." The leading squire was very polite, but he wondered why there were no wounded or dead bodies.

Everyone stood on the city of Fuzhou and saw today's battle. It was full of flames and collisions of warships. It was very intense.

"I've been tired all day, and I can finally eat again." Yu Dahai didn't finish a single meal, so he must eat more tonight.
