Lord of Ming Dynasty

The flames on the sea a few miles away may not let the distant relay warning fishing boats know, but the sound of fireworks still let these fishermen know that there is an enemy ahead. Immediately, the beacon fire at the stern of the fishing boat was also lit, and fireworks were sent off.

As the fireworks in front rose one by one, the situation became more and more urgent. They also fired fireworks one after another, and increased the firepower of the beacon, and the whole ship was about to burn.

Two groups of fishing boats were detected in the front as warnings that they were desperate, and the fishing boats behind were also warnings that they were dying. When the first wave of fishing boats finally completed their mission and ended their lives and fishing boats in a tragic way, the fires were extinguished. The second wave of fishing boats also knew that the enemy was approaching, and adopted the same method.

When the second wave of fishing boats passed the news backwards.

The fourth wave of fishing boats has sent messages to the beacon towers along the coast, and it is becoming more and more urgent.

The beacon towers along the coast continued to increase the beacon fire and change the signal.

In such an emergency situation, when the lights of the first wave of fishing boats went out, warning cavalry rushed into the three-in-one admiral's mansion, and Xuanyuan Longfei got up in less than ten minutes, and then deployed urgently.

News came from the third wave of fishing boats, and after the fourth wave of fishing boats retreated urgently, Xuanyuan Longfei’s order had been conveyed to the point that he had received a warning from the beacon tower. When they landed and passed on the enemy's specific news, the coast was ready, and the new order returned from the admiral's mansion to the defenders along the coast.

When the enemy was less than five or six nautical miles away from the coast, the entire Wenzhou government was awakened. The villagers quickly organized, and the village guards covered the villagers to escape into the mountains. The village guards of each village were called by the militia captain to distribute weapons and guard thoroughfare.

The county seat has closed its gates tightly, and even young and middle-aged people have been mobilized and pulled up the city wall.

Artillery, militia and garrison soldiers have been stationed in the fort on the coast, and the regular army has assembled at important locations, ready to move to rescue everywhere.

After the new situation was inquired, Xuanyuan Longfei had already ordered the garrison to go to the coast to support, and the messengers to warn Taizhou Fucheng had been dispatched.

The Third Squadron of the Navy has already pulled anchor and set sail, heading towards the enemy fleet.

When the pirates rushed to the beach, they were ambushed, although it was only the militia and village guards from some nearby fishing villages, but the pirates were still stunned.

However, the fleet of the pirates who were attacking the coast was terrified by the shore artillery. Although the small boats of the pirates continued to land in various places, the third squadron successfully circled to the rear of the enemy's fleet and launched an attack from the rear. attacked.

The big ships of the squadron are bigger than these pirates, have more artillery, and are more sophisticated. At the same time, there are arquebus gunners and naval teams on board the fleet.

The battle was very fierce. The first messenger ship sent the news to Xuanyuan Longfei. Xuanyuan Longfei immediately dispatched the messenger ship and cavalry to Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Taizhou, and even Longzhu Island to convey his news by water.

Generally speaking, he feels that the enemies here are not very strong. There are about 100 to 1000 pirates, more than [-] pirate ships, [-] to [-] ships have been sunk, and more than [-] pirates have landed. Through the statistical results, he knows that these Pirates can do no damage to his defense.

The third squadron sent a messenger ship back at dawn, telling him that they had repelled the enemy and were chasing the enemy. Some warships were left to protect the coast and hunt down the pirates with the soldiers along the coast.

At this time, Xuanyuan Longfei's first thought was Taizhou Prefecture. He immediately dispatched a thousand cavalry to help the nearest county town along the coast of Taizhou, and then ordered the Third Squadron to divide some ships to reinforce there, and to support Taizhou. The Second Fleet in the county seat.

The rumbling guns rang all night, and at dawn, the surroundings finally became quiet.

A few cavalrymen of the Jinhua Rebel Army climbed up a cliff protruding from the sea from the mountain path. On the broad stone platform, they wore blue uniforms, light blue training caps, and silver breastplates. A dark brown war horse full of weapons and equipment, the style of French military uniforms in the Napoleonic period.

If you didn't look at their yellow skin and yellow hair and yellow eyes, you might think that this is an army of Napoleon who has just conquered another area. Of course, if you look closely at their arms and chests, you will. Find the difference here, because the gold star on the red background is the symbol of the Jinhua Rebel Army.

"The battle last night was fierce." Ruan Shu said to Chen Hanhui.

Chen Hanhui carefully observed the sea surface with the copper monocular in his hand.

The dilapidated ships wandered wantonly in the sea like ghost ships. There was no living person on them, and the fragments of corpses were hung on the mast, sails, and even the side of the ship.

Some ships have flames that have not been extinguished in Shanghai, and they still emit thick smoke and flames. Occasionally, a mast can be seen climbing up by the flames, and the sails are set up.

Ships in such a scene were wandering everywhere on the sea, and there were many corpses in the sea surging forward with the waves, and pushed onto the beach by the tide.

The sugar has been covered with soaked and floating corpses, including the corpses of pirates in ragged clothes, the corpses of Portuguese military uniforms, the corpses of Daming official uniforms, the corpses of Daming Xiangyong, and of course the corpses of Jinhua Rebels. Corpse in sailor uniform.

Many shrimps and crabs can be seen in the lens of the telescope, and there are things like earthworms swimming on the corpses in the sea, densely packed, looking penetrating.

"Admiral Du Ge is leading people to destroy the pirates who have landed in the territory," Ruan Shu said.

Chen Hanhui did not respond to his words, and continued to observe. In the distance, several naval warships of the Jinhua Rebel Army were returning. One of the masts was broken and was pulled by three small boats. The sailors on the three small boats rowed vigorously. Shouting numbers neatly.

A medium-sized blessing boat swayed like a drunken man, swaying left and right in the wind, turning east and west, and the remaining ships were full of holes, and the deck was a mess.

"Why are only a few ships coming back, what about the rest?" Chen Hanhui said worriedly.

"Master Chief Soldier, don't worry, Admiral Zhang Ying will definitely not be defeated by those foreign devils. Maybe he just wants the injured or out-of-combat ships to come back first, so that he can concentrate on chasing the enemy." Ruan Shu replied cautiously beside him.

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and several war horses came galloping towards them, coming along the sea wall on the coastline, a general jumped off the horse and climbed up quickly.

"Qi Sansheng, General Qi, why are you here?" Ruan Shu turned around and asked.

"Oh, Lord Ruan, I'm here to report to Lord Chief Soldier,"

Chen Hanhui looked back at him and asked, "Does your admiral have any new instructions?"

Qi Sansheng said: "Report to Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Du Ge has completely wiped out the pirates who landed. A total of [-] pirates have been captured and [-] pirates have been killed. There are still some sporadic pirates who escaped because of their familiarity with the terrain. But they have nothing to fear, Master Du Ge has already returned to Taizhou County."

Chen Hanhui said: "How big is our army's loss?"

Qi Sansheng said: "The loss is certain. Thousands of soldiers were killed and more than 1000 people were injured, but the people suffered the most. Five fishing villages were slaughtered by the enemy, and people from eight fishing villages were killed by the enemy on their way to escape. After catching up and killing, more than [-] militiamen died in battle, and the village guards suffered even greater losses. At least thirteen villages' young and strong men who could fight were killed or seriously injured, and lost their combat effectiveness."

"What's going on in Sanmen County?" Chen Hanhui continued to ask.

Qi Sansheng said: "I don't know about this, but when it comes to naval battles, there shouldn't be any problem. There are all big ships that captured the Portuguese, and quite a few Dutch and Portuguese sailors served as sailors for those warships. There are more than 3000 sailors in the sea." Learned sailors, more than 1000 rebel soldiers of the naval squadron, should have no problem."

Chen Hanhui put the binoculars into his satchel, pulled the reins, "Drive," and walked cautiously down the mountain with the people around him.

Going up the mountain is easy, but going down the mountain is difficult. The war horse carefully walked down bit by bit. Occasionally, in some places, the old moss accumulated all year round, and the horse's hooves were a little slippery. Qi Sansheng, who was walking, was terrified, and secretly thanked himself for his self-knowledge. He didn't come up on a horse, otherwise, he could only lead the horse down at this time, and let these people laugh at him and lose face.

Back in Taizhou County, the situation in various places was summarized. An aide of the General Military Mansion reported the situation of the day to Chen Hanhui, and Chen Hanhui asked about the situation of the First Fleet on Longzhu Island in Sanmen County.

The aide said: "The enemy sent a harassing fleet over there. Although there were many ships, they fought in a hurry at night. At the beginning, they suffered some losses, but later they almost wiped out the invading enemy ships."

Ruan Shu asked: "Du Ge is back and went to suppress the bandits on land. There is no one in charge of the navy and soldiers there. Who is so powerful and can make the enemy so embarrassed?"

The staff hurriedly checked some official documents, "My lord, it's a guy named Yu Xin. I heard that he used to be a pirate leader of Zheng Chenggong. Later, Mr. Hu Kui accepted him. After Mr. Hu Kui was transferred away, Mr. Du Ge continued to use him, so that he could continue to use him. He is in charge of the First Fleet of the Navy, and the official document states that he has fantastic ideas about naval warfare that ordinary people cannot understand, he is a talent, and it is recommended that he be promoted."

Qi Sansheng said: "Yu Xin, I heard that this person is one of the six generals under Zheng Chenggong's command. He is Zheng Chenggong's new confidant. I didn't expect him to come here."

Chen Hanhui looked serious, stood up, and said seriously: "Zheng Chenggong and the governor are not on the same side, they seem to be from two camps, I heard that he is colluding with King Lu's forces, the two may be closer , and we adults support Emperor Longwu in name, they are all descendants of the Zhu family, this is for the sake of imperial power and hegemony, the two people are destined not to be harmonious, if we adults don't know, we may suffer in the future, we must report this situation to Report, my lord."
