Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

a few days later.

Come with Zu Dashou in person.

Zheng Zhilong, who was sure that this was true, simply surrendered to the court.

And together with Xu Xinsu, he was awarded the title of Ranger General.

The two troops merged into one and became the first navy in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!

When Zu Dashou looked at the seven hundred ships of various types that the two men had assembled, a hint of shock flashed across his face.

Good guy!

There are quite a few boats!

There are 48 large ships in this group of ships, each equipped with an average of 28 guns.

The remaining medium-sized ships carried an average of twelve guns.

Small ships carried an average of six guns.

Apparently these two people smuggled this from the Red Ghost.

With so many cannons, it’s no wonder they can dominate this sea area.

"Two generals, you all know the matter."

"This general is not good at naval battles, so I will not interfere in your command of naval battles."

"I will set up defenses along the coast with the Qi family army. Your task is to intercept the main force of the Japanese country as much as possible."

"As long as this continues, Japan's meager food output will not last long."

Inside Fuzhou Yamen, this place has been temporarily requisitioned by Zu Dashou.

At this time, he was pointing at the map and talking quickly.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the long coastline on the map, rubbed his face and felt a headache.

"Okay, I see."

"I'll try to stop them."

"But I can't guarantee that it will last too long."

"Warships are different from soldiers. If one is destroyed, it will take time to replenish it."

"The total number of warships in our hands is only [-], and the guaranteed number from Japan is [-] and up."

"The gap is too big."

They can fight, but they can't guarantee that they can hold on forever.

The numerical disadvantage is too great.

Xu Xinsu, the narrator, also nodded in agreement.

"I estimate there are more than 4000."

"The Japanese country has only recently begun to implement seclusion. The previous trade with the Dutch allowed them to master good artillery technology."

"If we force it to stop, it will be up to three months."

Their little possessions are considered huge among pirates, but they are still far behind compared to Tangkou.

Three months is their limit.

Zu Dashou breathed out, not surprised at this time.

Being able to use private armed forces to conquer the Japanese country for three months is already very terrifying.

"Three months is enough."

"I will deploy forts along the coast as quickly as possible."

"The number of artillery pieces allocated by His Majesty is sufficient. As long as the artillery pieces are deployed in place, they will have to pay the price if they dare to force their way in."

"As for matters at sea, I leave it to the two generals."

Zu Dashou cupped his hands and said there was no problem.

Three months was enough for him to build some defenses along the coast.

As a general from Liaodong.

He doesn't know how to do anything else, but he is definitely an expert in fortress tactics!

After chatting for a while, we made sure there were no problems.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Xinsu just left the Yamen.

I walked out the door and looked at the sun above my head.

Xu Xinsu let out a long sigh for no reason.

"I didn't expect to join forces with your mortal enemy."

"It really makes me uneasy."

"Don't start a fight then, people will disappear."

Ok?

After saying this, Zheng Zhilong next to him immediately became angry!

What the hell!

I should be the one to say that!

"Xu Datou, if you are so awesome, why would you be suppressed by me all the time?"

"You act like you're some kind of tough guy."

"The current situation is not something that a coward can participate in."

"This is serious business. You have to fight for your future with your life."

"If you don't have this consciousness, just give me the command of all the ships in your hands. I will give you a share of the credit for the victory later."

You have no idea who is the boss in this sea area?

If you tell me this, you are really talking nonsense!

"That's because I don't care about you."

"Come on, don't talk about this now. I don't want to quarrel today."

"Since both of us are reluctant to part with this opportunity, we must consider it carefully."

"Don't fight one person at a time and then retreat at the same time."

"I guess you won't listen to me either, so let's jointly command."

"The two of us come up with strategies and share information together."

"how do you feel?"

Xu Xinsu just said a few words out of habit.

Too lazy to talk nonsense with Zheng Zhilong, Xu Xinsu made a suggestion simply.

Zheng Zhilong curled his lips slightly and hummed twice.

"Although you are indeed unreliable, there is no other way now."

"Join together, join hands."

"But I'll say something ugly first. If anyone dares to fight and cowers, don't blame me for speaking harshly."

"I still have to earn a title for my precious son!"

A title?

When Xu Xinsu heard these two words, her expression was also very yearning.

He is not coveting this thing.

"it is good!"

"Whoever is a coward has no fucking balls!"

"Then let's merge today. The port in Fuzhou has been allocated to us."

"Complete the merger as soon as possible so that we can make an interception plan!"

Xu Xinsu nodded without any hesitation.

"it is good!"

"Go!"

Zheng Zhilong is equally straightforward.

He pointed at the port and walked directly towards it.

-----------------------------

a few days later.

The second day of September.

Zhu Youjian in the side hall received the message from Zu Dashou.

"Taizu, Zu Dashou sent a message."

"It is said that the coastal defense line is too long and may not be able to take care of all places."

"In addition, Zheng Zhilong and the others can last up to three months."

"Currently Zu Dashou is building temporary fortresses along the coast for defense."

"He applied to move all residents from the outermost reaches of Fuzhou and Hangzhou into the town to avoid being robbed."

Li Chen listened silently and made quick calculations in his mind.

The Four Elephants Legion must not be moved.

The Japanese invasion of the Ming Dynasty was considered an expedition, and the situation of the Japanese country could not last long.

But Huang Taiji's side was different. If they were given a chance, they might actually get in.

"Let's do this. We will send garrison troops from the other four captain's mansions."

"Each captain's mansion draws 1 people and puts them all under the command of Zu Dashou."

"In this way, adding the 3 people in Zu Dashou's hands, the garrison alone will be [-]."

"Including the Qi family army of barely 1 people and the men of the two pirate kings."

"We can collect almost [-]."

"As for the relocation...it's okay."

"But it's the autumn harvest season now, so we have to notify Nanjing to speed up the harvest."

"Don't let the Japanese pirates take these things."

"Tell Zheng Zhilong that the main force of Japan must be contained for at least two months."

"Buy time to build a fortress for harvesting food along the southern coast!"

Li Chen thought for a while before expressing his thoughts.

He really didn't want to bring the war to his own territory.

After all, the thing about building a strong wall and clearing the field means killing one thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred.

But now the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to keep the Japanese navy away.

Li Chen couldn't help but couldn't help but complain about the emperors of Lao Zhu's family.

Zheng He's fleet is such a good thing, just don't want it!

What a waste!
