At this time, Chen Mingxia asked, "Previously, the vanguard fleet of the foreigners occupied the waters of Chen Qianshan. When General Wang led the navy to recover, he captured seven enemy warships and more than 200 soldiers... How to deal with it? Please tell me?"
Wu Zheng glanced around and looked at Wang Yilin, "Your results, listen to what you mean."
Wang Yilin hesitated for a moment and said loudly, "I will listen to the prince!"
Wu Zheng laughed loudly, everyone was laughing.
"Wang Yilin, you haven't learned well either... you've started to be foolish?"
Wang Yilin was exposed on the spot and didn't feel embarrassed. He laughed, "...In fact, I was hit by those warships... The prince didn't know that although they were all sailboats, they had many cannons... On a main ship, there were more fifty-two cannons than my flagship...!"
Wu Zheng comforted: "Rong Gu for a while, everything will be there... No, then our warships will definitely be better than those of the foreigners!"
Wang Yilin and Carrie Lam focused on it, "I have heard that the new artillery in the military workshop can reach twenty miles away... and it also said that the shells fired are spinning in circles and are even more powerful...!"
Wu Zheng nodded, "There is another point, you probably don't know... the new gun is loaded after the gun is fired. That is to say, after the gun is fired, there is no need to move the gun seat back and load it. You can load it directly at the original gun position, which can shorten a lot of loading time!"
Wang Yilin nodded happily and said, "In this way, the foreign fleet will definitely have good fruits to eat in the future!"
....
"Why did my father ask Pang Tianshou to do this?"
Mo Chenbo was really puzzled, "Not to mention that the King of Wu was unable to respond quickly to the loss of Hangzhou due to the war on the coast, so he said that when the King of Wu led his army northward, we still have enough time to deal with it..."
Mo Zhengnian asked with a smile, "Then you say that the King of Wu has an unmatched military force, why can we still deal with it?"
Mo Chenbo hesitated for a moment and looked up and replied, "The child does not want to underestimate himself... With the Mo family's financial resources and the accumulated dead soldiers, even if they compete head-on with the King of Wu, they will not be able to fight back!"
Mo Ming shook his hand casually, "Silly... Even if he can fight against King Wu, what can he do? Will the hearts of the world be directed towards us because of this?"
"The child is stupid... Please give me advice!"
Mo Zhengian raised his head slightly and sighed, "This world choice has nothing to do with the Mo family today. You must remember that the Mo family is definitely not against the King of Wu, and will not against His Majesty... We are just striving for what we should have gotten!"
"Then... the father has guessed that His Majesty and the King of Wu are likely to have a secret connection, so why do you still have to let Pang Tianshou control the palace ban...?"
Mo Chenbo really didn't understand. If his father had no intention of opposing the emperor or the King of Wu as he said just now, then the situation began to gradually become clearer and wouldn't it be even more passive if it was not good for the emperor?
Mo obsessed with his son's forehead and sighed, "After such a big change, someone will always be responsible for this chaos... Otherwise, where will the anger in the King of Wu be vented... If the King of Wu's anger cannot be vented, then the Mo family will be the first to be affected... Son, Dad is cleaning up the mess for you!"
Speaking of this, Mo Zhinian waved his hand gently and closed his eyes.
Mo Chenbo looked confused, but he still didn't understand. Why... it became a mess to clean up the mess?
My father advised Pang Tianshou to monitor the emperor. Wasn't it because he took the emperor hostage and took it as a hostage and negotiated with the King of Wu when it was out of control?
But seeing that his father had closed his eyes, Mo Chenbo did not dare to ask again, bowed his hand and gently retreated.
....
Liao Zhongping has been sitting in a crater these days.
He suddenly realized that he was a fool, not only a fool, but also a fool.
The seven-way messenger asked the court for instructions, but the court has not responded yet.
He sent three messengers to Mo Zhinian to inform and ask, but Mo Zhinian also did not have any answers.
This made Liao Zhongping gradually realize that he might be the pawn who had crossed the river, who had been ruthlessly abandoned.
But Liao Zhongping still didn't understand why he clearly occupied Hangzhou Prefecture and drove the King of Wu back to the south of the Qiantang River. Why didn't the court take the opportunity to send a large army to take back the prefectures along the way?
Originally, Liao Zhongping thought that this was an opportunity worth a try.
As long as you can capture Hangzhou City, the entire land north of Qiantang River will become a treasure in the court. The court should not abandon the immediate interests and ignore them, and it will also achieve great achievements.
But the fact is just the opposite. The King of Wu abandoned the city overnight and fled. The court looked at the palaces under his nose as if nothing was missing. Even Mo Nian, who had been rushing to pick him up, did not react at all.
The Jianyang Guard, which gradually approached Hangzhou City, forced Liao Zhongping to close the city gates on both sides of the east and north.
Liao Zhongping kept sending people out of the city to contact Jianyangwei. He hoped that Jianyangwei would come to reinforce him by the order of the court.
But every time the people sent were blocked from coming back.
Liao Zhongping even wanted to have an interview with the chief general of Jianyang Guard, but he was unable to enter.
Although Jianyang Guard did not immediately face each other, Liao Zhongping already felt that invisible hostility. He knew that perhaps Jianyang Guard was waiting for the imperial court's orders, but what kind of orders would the imperial court give?
This is an external problem, and Liao Zhongping still has to worry about internal worries.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating every day, all of them have to be paid for money.
He also had to support thousands of government soldiers who surrendered under the orders of the King of Wu.
Who would have thought that the seemingly prosperous Hangzhou Prefecture was so clean that there were rats appearing in the treasury.
The people in the market really don’t have to worry about food and drink, but does Liao Zhongping dare to order robbery?
Liao Zhongping dared not, because once he ordered robbery, he would be rebellious and would never go back. Not only did he offend the King of Wu, but he even impeached the court... countless censors were enough to lose his life.
Of course, Liao Zhongping was unwilling to do such a bad thing that made him famous. He never thought about it, otherwise he would not have given the order of "Don't tear up the house if he freezes to death, and starves to death and not to plunder."
The dead soldiers of the Mo family are already secretly doing the robbery of the family. Liao Zhongping has also heard that if it were just entering the city, Liao Zhongping would find these bad apples without hesitation and then rectify the Dharma one by one in public. But now, Liao Zhongping no longer cares about it and can only turn a blind eye.
But as a result, the public anger in the city became even higher.
Speaking of public anger, Liao Zhongping couldn't understand. After all, he was the king's army. At least for the foolish people in the city, he could not tell the difference between them. The King of Wu abandoned the city and left without resistance. Logically speaking, the people would not be so hostile, and they would not be so hostile, right?
