Chapter 345 Qiongzhou has changed

Everyone has found that since His Majesty hunted whales, he has no interest in fishing, and has gone to sea more frequently, and has dispatched more and more warships. But except for the Empress Dowager who taught His Majesty a lesson, the court has been extremely tolerant of His Majesty going to sea, and even his mortal enemy Zhang Shijie is no longer so hostile. After all, the emperor would hunt a whale every few days after going to sea, and at most he brought back three, allowing the three armies to have a full meal. The troops of Lu Shicheng, who was responsible for monitoring His Majesty's whereabouts, finally got the meat.

Of course, Zhao Bing hunts whales not just for eating meat. The main purpose is to train the troops to prevent their combat effectiveness from weakening. After all, staying in Hong Kong all day to clean up and train running is not as good as actual practice. He has now seen that whaling is indeed a good sport. Not only can each unit get the opportunity to go out to sea to train, but also be familiar with the formation, train the courage of soldiers, and cultivate the ability of the teams. In addition, it can also gain the respect of the whole army. After all, except for the camp guards, no army in the court dares to provoke the giant beasts in the sea.

But just as Zhao Bing was getting more and more advanced and more excited, there were already clouds of war over Qiongzhou. After September, Ali Hague sent Ma Chengwang, who was the prefect of Qiongzhou, to Qiongzhou to recruit surrender. He was severely denounced by Yingjie and drove out of the Fucheng. However, the boy was unwilling to give up and contacted his former subordinates and slings to incite and seize Qiongzhou. He bribed the leaders of various Dongcheng and colluded with more than ten Dongs to raise thousands of troops to attack the military weapons outside Qiongzhou at night to seize weapons, and then attack the Fucheng and support the Mongols to climb 6.

Ma Chengwang thought very well, but forgot that the troops stationed in Qiongzhou were definitely not defeated by the defeated generals at that time, and their conspiracy was discovered by spies from the Bureau of Affairs. Ying Jieyan showed his iron-blooded side at this moment, and dispatched the army to set up an ambush outside the city, and led the rear army to scatter into the mountain with Zhao Mengjin, and arranged a large net. When they came, the ambush was all raised and thousands of arrows were scattered. Without waiting for their actions, they were killed and injured. They were defeated in a blink of an eye. The rear army entering the mountain also took advantage of the empty caves and easily captured the villages, drove all the people in the caves down the mountain, and burned their camps.

Ying Jieyan ordered that more than a dozen big and small masters who participated in the rebellion beheaded, land was collected as officials, and all the rest were assigned to Jiyang Army to garrison and mine. Some people were worried that the Li people would take the opportunity to start another crime, but they found that the Li people were frightened by Fushun's series of killings, so they took the initiative to tie Ma Chengwang hidden in their homes to Fusiya. Although Ying Jieyan hated Ma Tiancheng, he strictly abides by the practice of not killing the envoys of the two armies, and ordered people to interrupt all his hands and feet and let him go back to Leizhou to inform Ali Hague that Qiongzhou is here, and he has the ability to take it himself, without pretending to be kind and righteous.

At the same time, Yingjieyan ordered the entire army to prepare for war. The lookout posts along the strait monitored the sea day and night. The navy troops of each village sent a team of sentry ships to patrol the strait every two hours. Except for Baisha Port, all commercial ports were closed. More than three merchant ships must be inspected before they could be allowed to reach the port. Personnel are not allowed to leave the dock without authorization. The transactions are completed in the island's court. The chief officials of the Qiongzhou department went to various places to guard the city. Gao Yingsong went to Jiyang Army, Cai Wanyi went to Changhua Army, and Chen Zeweng went to Wan'an Army. When things happen, they could dispatch troops nearby to deal with the situation, without asking for instructions.

On the other hand, Ying Jieyan secretly met His Majesty and sent multiple spies to the northern coast of the strait to monitor various ports along the coast and find the enemy's naval station. However, only scattered warships have appeared in the past month, and there are no signs of a large number of warships gathering. Instead, the intelligence transferred from the Bureau of Affairs showed that the enemy's naval troops from the north and south of Jinghu and the north and south of the enemy went south along Rongshui and Liujiang in batches and gathered in Yulinzhou. Now there are more than 500 warships of all sizes and sizes, with a force of no less than 20,000. They judged that the enemy was preparing to attack Qiongzhou...

In the early morning of the seventh day of the 10th month, after a night of wind and rain, the sea water became a little turbid. A fleet sailed along the northern edge of Nanshan Island and entered Leizhou Bay. The sea surface was wide, and Dongshanzhou was in sight in front of it. The fleet had two columns here to change formations and transform into square formations to continue sailing along the coastline.

"The governor is too careful. Lei, Gao, Huazhou has long been recovered. There are large troops in the southern dynasty. How dare the remnants of the Southern Dynasty seek provocation!" On a tall building ship, two Yuan generals stood side by side. Looking at the vast fleet, they could be said to be full of masts and sails covering the sun. One of them smiled at the solemn expression of the governor.

"Ali, don't underestimate the enemy. It was because the Qinzhou naval army underestimated the enemy that they were attacked by people. All the warships of the two camps were burned down. The General Ali Hague had no choice but to transfer our Jinghu Navy to the south to pacify Qiongzhou by crossing the sea." Samudan, the commander of the Jinghu naval army, said.

"Haha, this place is still five hundred miles away from Qiongzhou. Even if they learned that our army was coming, it would be too late." Ali, deputy governor of Jinghu Naval Army, smiled disapprovingly, and the fat on his face kept trembling, completely covering his short and thick neck, making people laugh.

"General Ali, do you know how Liu Shen, the envoy of Jiangdong Xuanwei, was defeated?" Samudan said unhappily when he saw his deputy despising the other party so much.

"Isn't he defeated by the remnants of the Southern Dynasty?" Ali knew that there was still something inside, so he immediately changed it to a gossip face and asked.

"Then Liu Shen returned seriously injured. Only less than 100 warships under his command escaped. He did not say his opponent more than 100 like the emperor." Samudan said with a sneer. "As far as I know, he fought with the remnants of the Southern Dynasty and fought no less than twenty formations. The Southern Dynasty could not resist the desertion. Liu Shen then pursued and was ambushed by the Qiongzhou navy in Qizhou. It is said that he only dispatched fifty warships to wipe out all his front troops. General Halada's ship was sunk, and he sank to the bottom of the sea before he even got off the ship."

"Haha, Liu Shen has some military achievements, so he claims to be a general of 100% of victory. He is so arrogant. He should have been hiding with the women every day with gold and silver. He should have taught him some lessons!" Ali laughed and seemed to have heard a big joke, and Liu Shen was defeated by the defeated general of the Bancan soldiers.

"Although Liu Shen is domineering, he is also a soldier. Even if he is a little more unlucky now, he is not powerless to fight. We should be more cautious." Samudan could only smile bitterly when he saw his colleagues like this.
