Lord of the House

Jin'an Fucheng is located on the north bank of the Minjiang River, about 50 miles away from the mouth of the Bailongjiang River, the northern branch of the Minjiang River. Through the beacon fire communication, the Jin'an mansion city soon learned the news of the attack on Jiangkou.

She Feihu was sitting in the Tiger Peeping Hall with a grim expression. At this time, he only knew that Jiangkou was attacked, and there was no way to know the further situation.

Qin Zitan stood under the eaves of the corridor. Since the She family controlled the East China Sea bandits, Jin'an has not been attacked by sea in the past few years. This timing coincided with Huaidong's promulgation of the ban on the sea - if the Huaidong warships really came to Jin'an to launch a surprise attack, the problem would be thorny.

Several soldiers broke in with orders. Qin Zitan saw that the leader was Zheng Mingjing, the guard captain next to Duke Wenzhuang, the governor, and asked: "Zheng Xiaowei, but there is news from Jiangkou?"

Zheng Mingjing nodded, not going into details, but saying: "My lord invites the second son and Mr. Qin to come over..."

Qin Zitan has never officially served in the governor's office of Zhejiang and Fujian, but stayed in Jin'an as a guest minister in the Shefeihu Mansion, and Zheng Mingjing called him "Sir". She Feihu listened to the conversation at the door, and without putting on airs, he walked out and only asked, "Where is my father?"

"Mingyuan Pavilion, also sent someone to invite you adults!" Zheng Mingjing replied.

Qin Zitan secretly said: The Governor also realizes that this attack is unusual! No more nonsense at the moment, and followed the second son, She Feihu, to Mingyuan Pavilion.

Walking into the Ming Hall, Qin Zitan was surprised when he saw his boss Ma Wenchengyun standing in the room with a rather dejected expression: his boss Ma Wenchengyun was in charge of the garrison of the east line of Ya'an, and the water camp on Nantai Island belonged to him. Temperance, Bailongjiangkou was attacked, and he didn't run over to see the enemy's situation in person, how could he still be in the mood to stay in Jin'an City? Could it be that Shewenzhuang also thought that the attack on Bailongjiangkou was just a trivial matter, and that Wen Chengyun didn't need to make a special trip?

Seeing She Feihu and Qin Zitan come in, Wen Chengyun gave She Feihu a salute: "Second Young Master..."

Due to the defeat in the East China Sea two years ago, She Feihu has not been able to hold real power in Jin'an so far, which has also caused Qin Zitan's status in Jin'an to plummet. Naturally, people like Wen Chengyun are not seen.

Qin Zitan followed She Feihu to salute Shewenzhuang, the governor, Shewenzhuang frowned and thought, and after a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and said, "Feihu and Zitan are here..."

She Feihu couldn't bear his temper, and asked directly: "Have you found out the details of the attack on the Bailongjiang enemy on Nantai Island?"

Wen Chengyun said: "Five loach ships disguised as our navy warships made their way into the Bailong River estuary and attacked two of my patrol ships in the estuary and more than ten merchant ships docked at the Xiadao Wharf. The battalion has dispatched warships to pursue them—according to their attack on the merchant ships without any intention of looting, it should be a pirate ship from Huaidong!”

Just as Huaidong and other places call Zhejiang and Fujian a rebel army, Zhejiang and Fujian call Huaidong a bandit army.

Shewenzhuang noticed that Qin Zitan frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Zitan, do you think there is any doubt?"

"I'm afraid there will be danger to the boats that go after them!" Qin Zitan said, "The pirate boats from Huaidong have recently departed from Shengsi, and they have to detour from the outer seas east of Daishan and Changguo, so we won't find out in advance, it should be A large fleet, the five sea loach boats attacking the Bailong River mouth are most likely bait!"

Qin Zitan would not believe that Huaidong only sent five loach boats to attack the mouth of the Minjiang River for thousands of miles. The fleet of only five loach boats was very dangerous to go out to sea at this time. There must be more in Huai'an. A large fleet of ships waited in the outer seas, waiting for the warships chasing here to plunge into the net.

Shewenzhuang nodded and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and the water camp warships from Nantai Island had already chased them out, and it was too late to chase them back; I have ordered Hu Zongguo to go to Nantai Island on my behalf to supervise the battle and guard the door."

Qin Zitan finally understood why Wen Chengyun was standing here with a dejected expression. Even though the rushing warships were not sent by Wen Chengyun, but he has been in charge of the defense of the east line for a long time, and his generals fell into Huaidong's plan to lure snakes out of their holes so hastily, it is no wonder that the Grand Governor was dissatisfied with him and sent Chief Shi Hu Zongguo to replace him. He went to Nantai Island to supervise the war.

The Minjiang River divides Nantai Island into two branches, north and south. Nantai Island is just at the gateway of the Minjiang River, and its terrain shape is also suitable for garrisoning water camps. In addition to the Zhedong Navy, the Nantai Island Water Camp, another type of navy under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, was stationed on the upper island of Nantai Island, with more than 400 ships of various sizes and more than 6,000 soldiers.

In terms of navy establishment, Zhejiang and Fujian are several times larger than Huaidong, but the defeat in the East China Sea battle two years ago has long proved that the number of troops is only a secondary factor in naval battles, and the quality of warships is the main factor.

Although after occupying the lower east of Zhejiang, a group of shipbuilding craftsmen was obtained, which strengthened Jin'an's shipbuilding ability and strived to build more and larger ships, but compared with Huaidong, there is still a big distance.

For a while in Jin'an City, it was unclear how many warships in Huaidong had bypassed Daishan and Changguo to the south. Because it was unclear, the navy of Nantai Island should guard the gate and take advantage of the terrain of Nantai Island and the mouth of the Minjiang River to communicate with thousands of miles. The rushing Huaidong Navy turned around instead of rushing to pursue.

The Huaidong Navy's warships rushed to the mouth of the Minjiang River, and their opinions were no trivial matter. The big men who stayed in Jin'an City were all summoned to the Mingjing Pavilion to discuss matters.

Song Bo, the representative of the Song family in Jin'an, was also summoned by the commander-in-chief of the Grand Governor's Office.

She Feihu married Song Fu's young daughter again, and the two families still maintained a close in-law relationship. As for Song Jia and She Mingyue, it has long been a secret topic in Jin'an City, and no one will mention it again.

Qin Zitan hoped that the generals of the water camp who were chasing out would be smarter. It was too late to send a boat to chase. He just hoped that he could bring the boat back when the opportunity was wrong, so as to reserve some water camp forces for Zhejiang and Fujian.

The next East China Sea competition will be very cruel. Although the naval forces of Zhejiang and Fujian are much larger than those of Huaidong, Qin Zitan does not think that Zhejiang and Fujian have a better chance of winning!

*************

The dock of Xia Island was attacked. Two patrol ships and twelve merchant ships were set on fire. Nearly 200 people, including the patrolmen of the water camp, were ruthlessly shot and killed. Less than half of those who escaped survived. Almost got mad!

After the Shuiying fast oars attacked, the enemy ships quickly escaped from the river mouth. The fast oar boats are driven by people paddling, and the narrow river surface is advantageous for short-range pursuit. Once out of the estuary, let the enemy ship flee with the wind, and it is impossible for the fast oars to catch up.

Shi and Jin transferred eight clippers and chased them out.

The long history Hu Zongguo came to supervise the battle urgently with the order of the Grand Governor's Office. Shi and Jin had already led the boat to chase out for nearly two hours, and it was too late to recover.

It was only in the late autumn of October, and the northwest wind was getting stronger. Five loach boats set sail and fled to the southeast. In two hours, they traveled more than 160 miles with the wind and entered the sea area of ​​Xitashan Island, southeast of Jin'an Prefecture.

Xitashan Island is a long and narrow island more than 100 miles away from the coast, and only a few dozen islanders farm on the island. A huge fleet of six Jinhai-class warships is quietly dormant on the back of Xitashan Island.

The two fishing boats that were completely docked on Heitashan Island were controlled by dozens of islanders on the island. Zhang Gou and Chen Zuo led a sentry to board Heitashan Island. Chen Zuo led the soldiers to hide in the forest. Standing in the forest at the top of the island with a few guards, monitoring the sea to the northwest...

Jin'an only had eight warships chasing it, which is really disappointing! However, no matter how thin the mosquito's legs are, it is still meat when cut off. This is a competition between one and the other. If you want to wipe out the main force of the Nantai Island water camp of the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels in one fell swoop, you really have to wait for the incense on the ancestral graves.

When the eight warships of the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels entered the waters for ambush, the Huaidong warship dormant behind Heitashan Island raised its sails and attacked, like a cheetah lurking in the depths of the grass.

There is no suspense in the pursuit. The raiding fleet is composed of fast sailing ships, which is to give full play to the speed advantage when chasing the enemy ship or sailing away.

Once the six Jinhai-class warships and the eighteen Jiyun-class warships opened their nets, it would be difficult for the eight sea loach ships to escape!

After getting close, the bed crossbow launched a huge hook with ropes, which could lock the enemy ship firmly at a distance of 70 or 80 paces, and the arrows, fire pots, and falling rocks all fell.

If you surrender without a fight, your family will be punished, and Shi and Jin are not willing to surrender. But when they entered the encirclement and looked at the Huaidong warship whose side was seven or eight feet higher, Shi and Jin knew that they didn't even have a chance to board the ship to fight back.

Shi Hejin held a shield and tried to block the arrows and flints as much as possible, shouting loudly: "Cut the rope, light the rocket, and shoot the motherfucker! Go to Heita Mountain!" Ordered the rockets, cups and other madmen to Huaidong The warship threw away, desperately breaking out in the direction of Heitashan Island.

Shi Hejin guessed that there might be soldiers from Huaidong ambushing on Heitashan Island, but there is only a piece of land on Heitashan Island in the surrounding waters for dozens of miles. Go to Heitashan Island and find a favorable terrain to resist and stick to it. Only then will you have a chance~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Seeing that an enemy ship broke free from the encirclement and fled to Heitashan Island, Chen Zhe was so excited that he wanted to scream, and he would chop the saber. Standing in front of him, Hengmei looked at the soldiers behind him, and said, "Give me a little bit of stability. When they're all ashore, kill his mother again, lest all the credit go to the water camp..." He stared at the direction where the enemy ship landed. , tell a few pawns how to go around and fight!

If there are no battles, there will be no chance for promotion, no chance to be rewarded for the meritorious fields, and there will be no scenery of returning home to honor the ancestors. This time, two battalions of armored soldiers went south with the fleet. They still got the chance to fight for the first battle at this post. Naturally, they didn't want to perform badly...

****************

The fishermen who escaped from the battlefield in the waters of Heitashan Island brought news that the chasing fleet was destroyed.

Before nightfall, there was a police call in the direction of Putian, and it was the attack on Pingtan Island in the east waters of Putian.

Standing on the coast of Putian, you can see the fire in the direction of Pingtan Fort all night. Although Pingtan Fort is the largest island between the Yizhou Strait, with a depth of fifty or sixty miles from north to south, it is comparable to a county, but the garrison of Zhejiang and Fujian in Pingtan Fort is only 300 people, and they are all weak in combat. Strong local soldiers.

Although Zhejiang and Fujian are known as 100,000 elites, they are all on the fronts of eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang, except for a part of Jin'an Prefecture.

In the Mingjing Pavilion in the back garden of the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Shewenzhuang could no longer maintain a calm and calm look. When he heard the beacon smoke lit up on Dong'an Island in the east waters of Xiapu County to the northwest, his face became ashen. Including Qin Zitan, everyone can't be sure what chance of winning the Nantai Island Water Camp will be sent out for a decisive battle!
