After Yi Yun threw the Penghu Islands to Zheng Zhilong, he rested for a few days and asked the Beiyang Navy soldiers who he rescued to take sufficient rest and redecorated them like humans. He removed the mental state of the prisoners and began to return. (--net)

When he came, he only had two boats, the flying Henan and the Huberian. When he returned, he had another dragon boat, a Gallion sailboat, seven great blessed ships, as well as a large group of Imperial Guards, Shenji Camp, and the Beiyang Navy. When Zhu Qingqing and Qingqing brought them to the imperial guards to the imperial guards, there were more than 300 Imperial Guards, more than 500 Shenji Camp soldiers, and 4,000 Beiyang Navy. Now, there are only 100 Imperial Guards, two hundred Shenji Camps, and one thousand Beiyang Navy. Others either died bravely or were exhausted from being a coolie.

Five Dutch prisoners were imprisoned under the cabin. These arrogant guys were now captives and were unhappy and sat obediently in the cabin.

When the fleet arrived fifty nautical miles east of Quanzhou Port, Yi Yun suddenly stopped moving forward, but gathered the fleet together and gathered next to the flying Henan people. Then Yi Yun climbed into the attic on the top of the ship and shouted to the soldiers of the Imperial Guard, Shenji Camp, and Beiyang Navy: "Brothers, please come and listen to me."

These soldiers were rescued by Yi Yun and were sincerely grateful and admired Yi Yun. When they heard his call, they all went to the deck and waited for him to speak respectfully.

Yi Yun shouted: "Do you know where this fleet is moving now?"

"I know. It's Quanzhou Port!" the soldiers shouted.

"Well. That's right, that's Quanzhou Port in the Great Cute Country, and it can be regarded as our home. Do you want to go home?"

"Of course I want to go home!" The soldiers were amazed: "Who doesn't want to go home?"

"But... do you know what kind of problems you will face after you go back?" Yi Yun asked seriously.

His words immediately made the soldiers' faces dizzy. In Dameng Country, the defeat of the army was very miserable. After returning home, he would not only not be comforted by the country, but would be criticized and dealt with in various ways. Since ancient times, Dameng Country had a thing called "Military Order". Before going to war, the generals signed military orders. This battle must be won. If you lose, please kill me... Of course, this kind of military order is not signed every time you go to battle, but it shows from the indirection that the generals of Dameng Country bear very great responsibility when they go to war.

Once the defeated war comes back, although not every defeated general will be beheaded, there have been many examples of defeated generals returning to their country and being beheaded, and there are so many that they cannot count them.

Not only military generals, but soldiers also have the same problem. If they win a war, they will be rewarded with silver when they get promoted and make money. If they win a war, they will be scolded by others when they go back. From officials in the court to ordinary people who are promoted and fight, they will be called useless. They will actually defeat the war and lose the face of the country.

Especially for the soldiers who were captured and rescued after being captured, the public opinion would stumble on their side: "Why are you captured? Why didn't you fight to the last moment of your life? Why did you put down your weapons and surrender?"

Such various things often make soldiers who finally escape from the enemy's clutches choose to commit suicide after returning to their hometown because they can't stand this mental pressure. This is really impossible to write so much with pen and paper in the long history of the country's thousands of miles of history.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army, Shenji Camp, and Beiyang Navy couldn't help but think: Not only were they defeated, they surrendered, but they also lost the emperor, causing a large number of officials of the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party to die and return to the court. The Donglin Party would scold them to death, and the Eunuch Party's spies would kill them in the perineum. They really had no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

"Prince, please give me some advice!" The soldiers knelt down on the deck.

"Your Majesty, you are a good person and a sensible person. You know why we were defeated!"

"We have no reason to bear the responsibility for this defeat!" The soldiers couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Yi Yun nodded: "That's right! The responsibility for defeat this time is not entirely on you! The Emperor, the Donglin Party, the eunuch Party... All the numb and ignorant people of the cute country must bear part of the responsibility for this. This is the failure of the entire country, not the failure of you, the group of people."

"But once we go back, the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party will definitely put all the responsibility on us." The soldiers understood very well that the officials in the court were the best at shirking responsibility.

"No, I promise that the eunuch party will not!" The thirty-two father-in-law with footprints on his face jumped out of the side, and the big sweat said, "I have received the education of the prince and I will never dare to mess around anymore. In the future, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei will only harm foreigners, and will never harm the people of our Da Mengguo."

"I don't believe what you said. I will believe you if you show me a good show." Yi Yun kicked the thirty-two father-in-law away, so as not to let him block his words.

Yi Yun continued to say to the soldiers: "I will give you a new way! How about going to my Shanghai oasis? In my territory, I can cover you, and no one can accuse you of defeat."

"What? Go to Shanghai?" The soldiers were shocked. This was a new way out that they had never thought about. It was the territory of the enlightened Prince Jiashan and Prince Shanghai. There was the biggest person in front of him. He said that he could do it to protect them.

"But... is it okay if we don't go back to the imperial capital?" A soldier from the Imperial Army said a little scaredly: "If we decide to stay in Shanghai without authorization and do not return to the imperial capital, it may cause serious problems... Someone will attack our families who stay in the imperial capital, and maybe they will also implicate the prince. The mad dogs of the Donglin Party like to bite people the most, and they will say that we are ill-gotten."

"Don't worry! I've already made an excuse for you!" Yi Yun said loudly: "Aren't the emperor missing? You just stay in Shanghai by looking for the emperor at sea, occasionally driving a boat to the sea for a walk, and that's all. If the fools of the Donglin Party have something to say, just let them come to me."

"Wow, this is indeed a good reason!" The Imperial Guards were immediately happy, but soon, they were unhappy again, especially the Imperial Guards and Shenji Camp. These two historical troops were the personal army of the emperor. Among the troops in the world, they were the ones who were most loyal to the emperor. How could they be happy when the emperor disappeared? As soon as he cheered, he immediately paused and said with a bitter face: "Where has the emperor been? We are so worried... At that time, General Ye Lou fled with the emperor, and I don't know if they escaped."

"Well, I think... she should have escaped." Yi Yun lied without blushing. Zhu Qingqing, who was standing beside him, disguised as a woman in the dust, also said seriously: "Well, the emperor, Hong Fu Qitian, can't die." She found that Chen Yuanyuan's makeup skills were really strong. There were so many soldiers who couldn't tell that she was the emperor. It was so fun! It was indeed a wonderful thing that she could use the identity of another person to see these people's attitude towards her. She was addicted to playing.

The soldiers thought for a while, but in the end they felt that going to Shanghai Oasis was their only way to live. If they returned to the imperial capital, they would definitely die under the frame-up of the Donglin Party members.

Seeing that they nodded in agreement, Yi Yun couldn't help but feel secretly happy. The gains were great. When these people went to Shanghai, as long as they controlled them well, they could turn them into their own army. The remaining more than 100 people in the Imperial Guards, or more than 100 third-level "guards" who were used well, would be a super powerful hand-to-hand combat force. The remaining two hundred people in the Shenji Camp, including thirty or forty artillery soldiers, were all gun soldiers. They could expand their own gun soldiers and turn them into a field army with a musket and cannons.

As for the more than a thousand sailors of the Beiyang Navy, although they can't say anything outstanding, they can help them manage the fleet. Now Yi Yun has two Dutch sailing ships, one dragon boat and eight blessed ships, which are quite powerful naval power. It is impossible not to increase the sailors. It is obvious that the group of water bandits are not enough by relying on Luo Le Hair Hair to bring those soldiers.

Of course, Zhu Qingqing and Qingqing were in his hands. By relying on the method of holding the emperor to command the princes, he could actually call on endless resources of the cute country, but... he also knew deeply that holding the emperor to command the princes is risky and is easily criticized. If he lacks strength, he will be dealt with under the banner of "clearing the king's side", so he must improve his strength and cannot just rely on the use of the king's power.

For example, in the late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of Han was once taken over by various princes. Everyone like Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Guo Si wanted to ride on the emperor's head and play. As a result... these guys were killed one by one. In the end, the only one who could hold the position of prime minister was Cao Cao, with strength! Strength was everything! Ordinary little people wanted to hold the emperor and order the princes to die!

"Don't go to Quanzhou Port, just fly directly to Shanghai with Admiral Li Huamei!" Yi Yun ordered to the soldiers: "After arriving in Shanghai, be a low-key person for a while. When I come back, I will go to Quanzhou to deal with the waste from the court!"

"Yes, obey the order!" The soldiers kowtowed to Yi Yun a few times and said in unison: "The prince is our reborn parents. Before we find the emperor, we must listen to the prince."

Tell, even if you find the emperor, you still have to listen to me. Yi Yun waved at them with a smile.

Li Huamei was responsible for guiding the dragon boat and eight lucky boats. After leaving Yiyun's team, he headed towards the Shanghai Oasis. Yiyun led the flying Henan people, Huberian, and a Dutch sailing ship that had been snatched and unnamed, slowly sailing towards Quanzhou Port.

When he arrived in Quanzhou slowly, Zheng Zhilong's men had already spread the news throughout several coastal cities. Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, the fat uncle, had already received the news of the victory of the Penghu Sea Battle. He changed into a set of majestic official uniforms and waited for Yiyun in Quanzhou Port for several days.
