On the Dongjiang River, the reinforcements and defeated troops were in a mess on the river. The Ming army calmly sailed in, bombarded with artillery from afar, and jumped into gangs to seize ships when close. On the river against the current and wind, the Qing army had no advantage at all.

He was completely hung up and beaten by the Ming army.

The fire attracted the attention of the surrounding area. The nearby area was occupied by Qing troops, and those who rushed over were also Qing troops. However, when they hurried over, all they saw were broken warships that were burning, scattered in all directions, as if they were being played by children.

Tired toys were thrown on the river, and many were stranded, and even everyone escaped.

When order encounters chaos, when a regular navy encounters amateur pirates, there is no need to elaborate too much.

"Marquis Lin's clever plan is admired by the subordinates."

Lin Cha has experienced battles for a long time and is a veteran general in the Guangdong Sea. He was the commander of the Guangdong Army in the past and had contended with the Yongli Dynasty's army in the Pearl River Delta region. He is very familiar with the water, geography and geography. As for the

This method was actually more of a matter of luck. The Qing army's slight pursuit of stability this time actually harmed them, which was also an unexpected surprise for Chen Kai and Lin Cha.

"Chen Shenjun is too proud. I originally planned to use the countercurrent and headwind to catch up and knock out some straggler pirate ships. Since these red flag pirates are so kind, I won't accept them, and it's not appropriate."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the fleet had already slowly sailed into the main channel of the Pearl River. When it came, there were more than ten warships with varying degrees of damage, being towed by Ming warships towards another

Direction, the direction from which the Ming army came.

Guangzhou has not yet received any news about the naval battle at Dongjiangkou. The Qing army has not launched an attack. The city is as usual, and the docks are still being cleaned and rebuilt. In the Governor's Mansion, Du Yonghe broke several finely crafted porcelain bottles in succession. It is said that that night

He also overturned the table, but today, a few days later, the anger has dissipated a lot, but the resentment towards the betrayer is like wine, sinking deeper and deeper.

"How is the Navy's recovery going?"

Du Yonghe's gloomy tone made Wu Wenwen swallow his saliva and bite the bullet and replied: "If we go back to the army, we picked up two warships today. They were already badly burned. We should use them to dredge the dock. Fortunately,

The cannons on the ship can still be used, but the gunpowder and other supplies still need to be replenished."

Today's situation is similar to yesterday, even better than yesterday. The Red Flag Pirates were calculating mentally and unintentionally, and they thought very clearly. Naturally, they would not let the Ming Navy have a chance to recover. This fire was burned too much.

So cruel, even a lot of the wooden trestles at the pier were burned down, and in one fell swoop, most of the Ming army's control over the Pearl River was abolished.

"Gunpowder, gunpowder, gunpowder again. Even if I can change into gunpowder, I can't withstand your demands."

In the city of Guangzhou, relevant weapons and equipment were still available. The Qing army attacked the city once, and the cost was not very high. However, Li Chengdong defeated Meiling twice and suffered heavy losses. The foundation was already weak. As the generals were divided into various places, there were many local

This time, the navy suffered a huge loss due to the interception. Du Yonghe couldn't help but scratch his head once he thought about the cost of reconstruction.

"Today it's gunpowder, tomorrow it's artillery, the day after tomorrow it's muskets and swords, and the day after tomorrow it's rebuilding warships. Mr. Wu, we are being besieged by the Tatars, and now the control of the Pearl River waterway has also changed hands, how to replenish it, and where to start

Replenish?"

It is understandable that this has become a vicious cycle. Although the Qing troops are outside, they are not surrounded, but the cavalry is roaming around, and it is difficult for large quantities of goods to come in and out. During this period, only the Pearl River waterway controlled by the Navy can be traded, but

It's good now, now that the control is gone, the situation will only get worse next.

"The Red Flag Pirates have an army, they only have about a hundred warships, they can't block the shipping on the Pearl River."

"The governor knows."

Du Yonghe was not in a good mood, and Wu Wenwen had nothing to do. Yesterday, he said something extra, saying that it was impossible to let Chen Qice from Sanshui bring the navy to help defend, but Du Yonghe scolded him. He was very angry.

It is clear that Chen Qice is very skilled in naval battles, and even he is not as good as him. It is not that Du Yonghe does not want him to come over and teach Liang Biaoxiang's group of rip-offs a lesson, but Chen Qice's immediate boss is the bachelor He Wuzou.

If He Wuzou comes over by then, the city of Guangzhou will listen to him as the governor, or to someone else's great bachelor.

It would be better not to have Chen Qice's reinforcements than to let Li Chengdong's original instigator, He Wuzuo, a bachelor who was far superior to him in terms of qualifications, enter the city to take charge of the overall situation. For Du Yonghe, this is a matter of principle and cannot be questioned at all. But simply

Counting on recovering on his own, but not knowing when he would be able to avenge his shame, Du Yonghe became extremely depressed whenever he thought of this.

Returning to the usual rhythm, Wu Wenwen's mind gradually drifted to the dock. Soon, the two of them became speechless. According to the normal rhythm, Wu Wenwen should say that he would step up efforts to urge his men to restore water tomorrow.

Teacher, and after Du Yonghe encouraged him for a few words, he could break up the meeting.

Unfortunately, this time, just as Wu Wenwen was halfway through his cliché, the officer guarding Nancheng sent a confidant to rush over to report the emergency to Du Yonghe.

"Mr. Governor, there is a large fleet of warships approaching from the south of the city. It looks like there are no less than a hundred ships."

Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen hurriedly rushed to the south of the city. Lin Cha's fleet docked at Haizhu Island and Henan Island on the other side. They were arrogant and did not take the Guangzhou Navy and the defenders on the city seriously.

The fleet opposite was flying under the banner of the Ming Army, but Du Yonghe couldn't figure out from which corner it jumped out. Fortunately, since it was the Ming Army, it was easy to talk. After a while, a small boat

Slowly approaching, a group of brightly armored Ming troops entered the city, and then the leading officer handed a brocade box to Du Yonghe.

"Controlling the army is the head of Prime Minister Liang Biao!"

"I know!"

The enemy who was still filled with hatred just now had his head put in a brocade box and was given as a meeting gift. Du Yonghe frowned and looked at the officer carefully, but still couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't find any useful clues in his memory. In this case, he didn't intend to dwell on it anymore, so he simply asked bluntly who was the commander of this Ming fleet?

"If you go back to Du Zhijun, my commander-in-chief is the former chief military officer who guarded Guangdong, Fu Minghou Lin Houye."

Lincha!

Thinking of this name, Du Yonghe's expression immediately became complicated. Speaking of which, the only interaction between Lin Cha and them was that Li Chengdong took advantage of Lin Cha's defeat of Lin Jiading to launch a sneak attack on Guangzhou and drove them into the sea.

, this is just a little bit of "friendship". However, the originally defeated general came to help them. Even if Du Yonghe was thick-skinned enough to hold the governor's seal without authorization, he would still have to blush.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lin. I have admired him for a long time. I wonder how Mr. Lin is doing these days."

"Lao Du Zhijun is concerned that our commander-in-chief has been serving under the command of Marquis Weiyuan recently. This time, he is escorting Chen Canjun to meet with Du Zhijun under the command of Marquis Weiyuan."

Marquis Weiyuan, the one given the surname Zheng!

He was another person who was looked down upon by them and had been offended many times. Du Yonghe felt that he could find a way to slip in. At least he really didn't want to see Lin Cha's "villain gets his way" face.

But they gave him such a big gift when they met. If he didn't even see him face to face, he would lose all face as a governor.

Fortunately, Wu Wenwen was probably aware of this problem and immediately revealed the fact that Du Yonghe had been canonized as a marquis by Emperor Yongli. In this way, the marquis became enemies of themselves, but they also lost one thing.

Awkward.

Wu Wenwen's performance made Du Yonghe very satisfied. For a while, he even forgot about the slow recovery of the Navy. But the officer was a little reluctant to congratulate him on being canonized.

When talking about the Marquis, Du Yonghe suddenly remembered that he seemed to have mentioned someone else in his words just now.
