My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 307 Two Great Victories!

The atmosphere in the cabin is at its lowest point.

According to the original plan, Su Ze wanted to defeat the Xinwa headed by Lin Daoqian at sea, completely lift the blockade of the Japanese pirates on the Fujian area, and settle the sea in one battle.

In order to intercept the Japanese pirates from the sea, Su Ze brought almost all the new navy troops to the sea, and left everything on land to Qi Jiguang's Qi family army.

If the Japanese pirates did not come to Fuzhou, but landed in Xinghuafu or other places, it would be a huge disaster for Fujian.

Na Suze's plan to use his prestige to realize mutual protection between Fujian and Zhejiang will also fail.

Once the Japanese pirates land in other places, they will immediately break up into pieces and start looting the place. When Su Ze rushes over again, he will face scattered Japanese pirates, like a spreading virus that enters the body, causing huge damage along the way. It takes a lot of energy to completely wipe it out.

This is why Su Ze chose to intercept at sea.

But the sea is vast, and it is not easy to accurately intercept the Japanese pirates. The clipper ship did not find the Japanese pirates, which cast a deep haze on the hearts of everyone in the fleet.

Until the invention of satellites, even with radar radio, the success rate of searching for enemies at sea was very low, otherwise there would be no such thing as a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Su Ze still firmly believed in his own judgment. He looked at the chart and carefully calculated various possible situations.

It must be because of the wind direction of the monsoon that the Japanese pirate fleet deviated from its course! The Japanese pirates must be heading towards Fuzhou city!

At the same time, in Lin Daoqian's fleet, the lookouts were checking the stars to determine their position.

"Damn monster wind!" Lin Daoqian complained a few words. Shortly after sailing from Shihaizi Island, the fleet encountered a strange monster wind, blowing them off course.

Now they are further south of the preset route, and the entire fleet has spent several more days in order to adjust to the original route.

During this period, Japanese pirates have suggested that the fleet should simply go south to attack Xinghua Mansion.

But all of them were rejected by Lin Daoqian.

The reason for Lin Daoqian's refusal is also very simple. If he landed in Xinghua Mansion, it would be robbing each other.

The reason why Lin Daoqian wanted to attack Fuzhou Mansion was for the silk worth 300,000 taels of silver.

If he had such a sum of silk in his hands, Lin Daoqian could be responsible for distributing the spoils and become the boss of the Japanese pirates like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai.

With this sum of silk, Lin Daogan can also buy warships and artillery from the Westerners in Nanyang, and hire warriors in the Japanese country. Then Lin Daogan can quickly expand into a giant Japanese leader like Wang Zhi, commanding the sea.

So for Lin Daoqian, there is only one goal this time, and that is Fuzhou City!

According to the astrology recorded by the lookout, Lin Daoqian took out the chart. He has traveled to this route more than a dozen times, and he only needs to sail for three more days to return to the original route.

Then continue sailing for ten days, and you will be able to reach Fuzhou City.

Lin Daoqian licked the corner of his mouth, let this battle of Fuzhou establish Lin Daoqian's prestige as a new generation of pirate kings!

Lin Daoqian didn't know that the next day, a flying clipper ship spotted his huge fleet with binoculars, and then quickly turned around and headed back.

On the fifth day of May, Xu Wei rushed to the city of Fuzhou in a hurry, only to learn that Su Ze had led the fleet to sail out to sea.

Xu Wei could only stay in Fuzhou City, waiting for Su Ze to return from the sea.

At the same time, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Nanzhili, received a report from his subordinate Jiang Zongyuan that Japanese pirates were found in the sea of ​​Taizhou.

Yu Zongyuan took the initiative to ask for a fight, and while Hu Zongxian ordered him not to fight, he rushed from the governor's office in Hangzhou to Taizhou.

At this time, it was the rainy season in Zhejiang area. Under the heavy rain, Hu Zongxian walked into Yu Zongyuan's big tent.

Yu Zongyuan, who was in the midst of a military discussion, suddenly saw Hu Zongxian coming in. He jumped up from his laziness and hurried down to meet his immediate superior.

"Hu Butang! Why are you here!"

Hu Zongxian looked around and found that Yu Zongyuan's main troops were all in the big tent.

He said coldly: "What? Is Zongbing Yu going to fight privately? That's why you don't welcome me, the governor of Zhejiang Province?"

Yu Zongyuan was not embarrassed at all, but smiled and said: "Hu Butang was joking, after receiving your order, we have been shrinking our troops, Lin Deyang! Come and tell Hu Butang about our army Arrangement!"

As far as this son's creed is concerned, in the words of later generations, it is "professional things should be done by professional people."

Although he is from Fujian Wuju, Mr. Yu is very self-aware. He can't even take care of his own concubine.

Can't carry it, don't have the ability.

Mr. Yu has self-knowledge, so from daily training to leading troops to fight, everything is done by Lin Deyang, the group of officers that Su Ze gave him.

Mr. Yu's job is to go to the military camp to give condolences every day, and then as a mascot, he will deal with the Governor's Office and the local government.

Mr. Yu's job is actually very good!

Lin Deyang and the others are in charge of military affairs, and they should pay a lot of money. Mr. Yu is here to mess with his career, and he doesn't want to embezzle the little military salary.

Every time Mr. Yu inspected the barracks, he was very close to the people and didn't put on airs. The soldiers all liked this commander-in-chief who didn't eat blood.

Mr. Yu is good at dancing, and he has a good relationship with the local yamen, and he can get extra rations and rewards, so the soldiers support him even more.

In addition, Young Master Yu and the Governor's Mansion Yamen are getting along well with the surrounding officials, and he can get good results when he goes out to do things.

Seeing Yu Zongyuan's hippie smiling face, Hu Zongxian was not angry, but said:

"Where's the information about Japanese pirates!"

Lin Deyang stood up and said, "Huibutang, our beacon towers off the coast of Taizhou have already warned us that Japanese pirates have landed on the islands off the coast of Taizhou, and there are still a lot of them. It should be that all the Japanese pirates left in Zhejiang have been gathered, and the target is Taizhou City. "

Hu Zongxian continued to ask: "What about the people near Taizhou?"

"Huibutang, the people along the coast have already evacuated, and the old, weak, sick and disabled in Taizhou City have also been transferred out, and the people who stay are young and strong."

Lin Deyang said worriedly: "Butang, this time the Japanese pirates are coming very aggressively, and they also brought the cannons of Frangji. If we don't send troops, I'm afraid Taizhou City won't be able to stand it for long."

Everyone in the tent looked at Hu Zongxian.

Lin Deyang sighed in his heart. He had studied with Su Ze for a period of time. He once heard Su Ze say, "War is the continuation of politics."

At that time, Lin Deyang was only a general in the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Corps, so he didn't understand this sentence deeply.

But as he "assisted" Yu Zongyuan in fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang, he gradually understood this truth.

Anti-Japanese is a political battle, and the Japanese rebellion is difficult to quell. In addition to the reason that the Japanese pirates were fleeing at sea and there were large households who smuggled out of the sea along the coast, it also had a lot to do with the political situation of the court.

Although Lin Deyang didn't know about the disturbance of the capital's overthrow, there were more and more memorials on the impeachment of Hu Zongxian by the officials and censors in Nanzhili.

Lin Deyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Mr. Su is really good at predicting things!

When Su Ze asked Lin Deyang to go south to Zhejiang, he said that when the Japanese riots in Zhejiang were over, it would be the time when officials would attack Hu Zongxian.

At that time, Lin Deyang naively asked Su Ze how Hu Zongxian would break the situation.

Su Ze just smiled, and told Lin Deyang that there should be two strategies.

Lin Deyang still remembers the two strategies Su Ze said when they parted:

"The best strategy is to rely on the Japanese to be self-respecting. As long as the Japanese riots in Zhejiang are not peaceful, Hu Zongxian can continue to serve as the governor of Zhejiang. If he is lucky enough to die in office, he will be regarded as a public loyal to the country in the history books, and he died fighting against the Japanese."

"The worst strategy is to pacify the Japanese as soon as possible, and then ask the old man to return to his hometown with his great contribution to the pacification, but once this strategy is used, it will depend on the situation in the court if he wants to be killed or cut in the future."

Lin Deyang didn't understand at that time, but now looking at Hu Zongxian's vicissitudes old face, Lin Deyang understands everything.

But after fighting in Zhejiang for many years, Lin Deyang has seen too much suffering of the local people. When he thought of the Japanese pirates' harassment of Taizhou, he clenched his fists and wanted to challenge Hu Zongxian.

But I heard Hu Zongxian say: "General Yu, according to your estimation, how long will it take for the Japanese pirates to land!?"

Yu Zongyuan raised his head blankly, he looked at Lin Deyang, Lin Deyang quickly clasped his fists and saluted and said:

"It's two days faster, five days slower, just in the last few days."

Hu Zongxian lowered his head, looked at the map and said, he didn't ask Yu Zongyuan, but asked Lin Deyang directly:

"If the Japanese pirates landed, can the Zhejiang New Army be sure to wipe out the invading Japanese pirates?"

Lin Deyang was stunned. He looked at Hu Zongxian, then gave a jolt and said:

"If you go back to the hall! My new army will definitely wipe out the Japanese pirates who invaded!"

Hu Zongxian nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Then pass on the order to organize the army and prepare for war. If you need anything, tell me, or you, Yu Zongbing, that all the military guards near Taizhou will be handed over to Yu Zongbing for restraint. "

Hu Zongxian looked at Lin Deyang and said: "Deputy General Lin, the people of Zhejiang are suffering too much. Even if the Japanese pirates cannot be wiped out in this battle, it can still bring about more than ten years of peace in Zhejiang. I will leave it all to you!"

Lin Deyang looked at Hu Zongxian with some surprises. In the eyes of Zhejiang officials, Yan Song, a man who tends to be popular, acts unscrupulously, and is full of controversy, unexpectedly grows up at this moment.

Hu Zongxian did not choose to rely on the Japanese to be self-respecting, but asked Lin Deyang to do his best to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang!

Yu Zongyuan still didn't understand the choice Hu Zongxian made, he was just happy to be able to fight and make meritorious service.

Only Lin Deyang looked at Hu Zongxian with reverence.

"Vice General Lin, please stay here."

When everyone left the big tent, only Hu Zongxian and Lin Deyang were left in the big tent.

Hu Zongxian suddenly said: "Deputy General Lin, I remember that you are Su Rulin's fellow countryman, and you once served in the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Corps?"

Lin Deyang nodded.

Hu Zongxian said: "After this battle, Hu will resign and return to his hometown. It is estimated that it will be difficult to see Su Rulin again in this life."

Lin Deyang was not surprised. Hu Zongxian chose to destroy the Taizhou Japanese pirates, and he planned to resign and retire as expected by Su Ze.

"You don't seem surprised?"

Lin Deyang thought for a while and said: "Before I went south that day, Mr. Su once told me that the difficulty of Zhejiang's resistance against the Japanese lies not in the military, but in the court!"

"That day, Mr. Su said..."

Hu Zongxian immediately asked: "What did Mr. Su say?"

Lin Deyang told Su Ze's second strategy honestly, and Hu Zongxian's straight back immediately collapsed, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

After a long time, Hu Zongxian said:

"Su Rulin is a true national scholar! But such national scholars are not willing to enter the court. Is my Ming Dynasty really at this point?"

"Ministry!"

Hu Zongxian waved his hand and said, "Su Rulin is so predictable, logically speaking, I shouldn't fight this battle."

"But the man read the books of sages and accepted the way of sages. Now he tells me not to fight Japanese for the sake of my personal future. I, Hu, can't do it!"

"Fighting the Japanese is my long-cherished wish. I like a poem by Cen Shen the most, and I gave it to Vice-General Lin!"

"Thousands of miles are serving the king, and I have nothing to ask for. I also know the hardships of the frontier, how can I seek for my wife!"

Hu Zongxian paid homage to Lin Deyang, and then said: "Let the matter of Pingwa be left to Deputy General Lin!"

Lin Deyang immediately straightened his back and said, "Design!"

On May 15th, on the sea outside Fuzhou, Su Ze personally led the ship to intercept the Japanese pirate fleet led by Lin Daogan, the leader of Fujian Xinwa.

The new army of the Fujian Navy has the upper hand, with the Xinshijie as the flagship, two new Western ships, and twenty ships with thousands of materials and blessings.

Su Ze rammed Lin Daoqian's ship with his flagship, and Lin Daoqian's ship was destroyed, so he could only flee in a small boat.

The Japanese pirates had never seen a fleet with such firepower, and the Japanese ships were not resistant to wind and waves. Thousands of Japanese pirates capsized and fell into the water and died.

Su Ze led his troops in pursuit, captured 15 more large ships, and sank another 20 Japanese ships!

After two days of fierce battle at sea, the new Japanese were defeated, and two thousand Japanese pirates raised their flags and surrendered.

Less than a thousand people escaped by chance, but were all captured by Qi's army ambushing along the coast of Fuzhou.

The Fujian Navy's new army won the first battle, and only a few Japanese pirates such as Lin Daoqian escaped. However, all of Lin Daogan's family fortunes were lost in this battle, and he would not be able to continue to harm Fujian for several years.

At the same time, after the Japanese pirates landed, the Zhejiang new army in Taizhou immediately cut off the sea retreat, and cooperated with the young and strong defenders of Taizhou to encircle the Japanese pirates who landed!

The Zhejiang New Army fought three battles under the city of Taizhou. Lin Deyang personally commanded Mao Shishi, and won three battles and three victories. The remnant Japanese are completely wiped out, and they are no longer able to threaten the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Nanzhili!

The news of these two battles spread, from Nanzhili to Zhejiang, and then to Fujian and Guangdong, the people in the southeast region were filled with tears and came out of their homes to celebrate!

The Japanese invasion that has disturbed the southeast for decades is finally at peace!

Both wars are settled! But these two battles were just the beginning of a huge storm sweeping through the Ming Dynasty Hall.

Yan Maoqing, who was interrogating the Ryukyu envoy in Fuzhou City, got the news of the two victories and stood there dumbfounded.

When his nephew Yan Lubai supported him, Yan Maoqing yelled: "Hu Zongxian! Hu Zongxian missed Mr. Yan Ge!"

"Hu Zongxian! You want to die, why do you let me wait to be buried with you!"

Yan Maoqing paced back and forth, and finally said: "Now there is only one way to break the situation!"

Yan Lubai didn't understand what his uncle was saying at all, his eyes were full of clear stupidity, but he still asked:

"Uncle, what can I do?"

Yan Maoqing said: "Disturb the situation! Swallow power!"
