Chapter 207 Yuanchun Huimen and Batavia Sea Battle!
Chapter 207 Yuan Chun’s return and the naval battle with Batavia!
Time flies and three days later, on the day Yuanchun returns home, Li Yunhao takes Yuanchun back to Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, the young couple are very popular.
Today, Yuanchun is dressed in hibiscus gold with wide sleeves and hanging flower palace brocade, Liu Yun has a gilt filigree hairpin inlaid with beads on her temples, and red gold and white jade bead earrings in her earlobes. She is as noble as a golden branch and a jade leaf. Her starry eyes reveal the love of spring, like a pool blown by the breeze.
The wrinkled spring water stirs people's hearts.
In August, the weather in Shenjing City gradually cooled down. Li Yunhao wore a snow fox-trimmed green and red gold lynx leather crane cloak. Underneath was a black scribe's robe. Such a young talent has a lot of glory.
The beautiful demeanor.
Standing together with his wife Yuanchun, they are a talented man and a beautiful woman, complementing each other.
When the young couple returned home, they first met their elders according to the ritual, and then Yuanchun introduced her husband Li Yunhao to the younger brothers and sisters of the Jia family one by one. Everyone received gifts carefully prepared by Yuanchun, which Sanchun and the other young ones were naturally happy to see.
The tooth cannot be seen.
This eldest brother-in-law's senses immediately gained a lot of points. Baoyu, who at this time had not yet felt the pain of being urged to study and improve, felt the slightest admiration for his brother-in-law Li Yunhao who had achieved such achievements at such a young age.
Jia Zheng, who had already come into contact with Confucianism, was even more pleased with Li Yunhao, his well-educated son-in-law. After Li Yunhao got acquainted with the members of the Jia family, he couldn't wait to drag his son-in-law and Jia Lian there.
Rongxitang started talking.
The little ones were quietly driven to play by the old lady. Yuan Chun was pulled by the old ladies Shi and Wang to talk about themselves. At this time, they didn't know what embarrassing questions were asked. Yuanchun showed off.
His face suddenly turned red. After a long time, he nodded lightly and said "Hmm" as thinly as a mosquito.
The old lady and Mr. Wang looked at each other, feeling relieved from the bottom of their hearts. That's good, but they were afraid that the couple's sexual intercourse would not be harmonious at the beginning, and then it would be difficult to get back together.
On Li Yunhao's side, Jia Lian and Jia Zheng accompanied him and had a chat in Rongxi Hall. Jia Lian even asked about Li Yunhao's ambition.
"Yunhao is extremely talented. He has already mastered literary skills at a young age. He is considered to be a top-notch talent among the Confucian sect. However, the Confucian sect's practice is different from others. It is best to enter officialdom. Those who are in the opposition
Although the literati are free and easy, they will never become great Confucians."
Of course, Confucianism is not just a shortcut to enter the officialdom. If you have the ability to write such romantic articles or heroic essays that will last forever, it will also be a great help.
It's just that the difficulty involved, compared to being an official who can hold great power and be superior to others, is not the right path in the eyes of most people.
When Jia Zheng on the side heard this, his eyes shone brightly. Jia Lian usually rarely talked about these extraordinary spiritual practice-related topics in front of his second uncle, who had little qualifications. Today, he was actually willing to communicate with his eldest son-in-law, which made him feel deep in his heart.
Started to be quietly happy.
"Second brother Liao Zan, I only have a little qualification. How dare I compare with the seniors in the Confucian sect? How can I just enter the officialdom? I still have some aspirations to live for the people. If I can help my Daqing people in the future
To do some practical things, my own cultivation level is quite trivial."
"Okay, you are worthy of being a new generation of Confucian scholars. I hope you, Yunhao, will not forget your original intention. If you have anything to do in the future, you can let someone know to Rongguo Mansion. I may not be able to help other busy brothers, but if necessary, I can help you."
Where there is force, just speak."
Although Jia Lian secretly wanted Li Yunhao to go overseas to recruit talents for his big business, but since he and Yuan Chun had just gotten married, it was not easy to separate the newlyweds. Another thing, let Li Yunhao go to Daqing first.
It would be good to work hard on this piece of land. When the time comes, wouldn't it be better to directly use Yuanchun's fiefdom to attract a mature talent?
And Li Yunhao was very happy to receive this sentence from Jia Lian. Naturally, the Li family also found out clearly about the relationship between Jia Lian and the Confucian sect.
Next, Jia Lian talked about his experience of studying at Bailu Academy in Jiangyou during a joking conversation with Li Yunhao, which made Li Yunhao marvel.
Although he could not be said to be a devoted student, due to age restrictions, his family had not dared to worry about Li Yunhao, who was only in his teens and had not yet started a family, traveling far away.
The ancients believed that "parents should not travel far when they are here." Although Daqing was not so rigid at this time, families with some financial resources would not allow their children to travel far away before they could get married and leave heirs.
Therefore, the farthest journey of Li Yunhao's life so far is only one or two hundred miles around Shenjing City. He is naturally envious of Jia Lian, who is similar in age but has traveled to various places.
The three of them talked and laughed for a long time. Jia Zheng suddenly remembered something and led Li Yunhao to the East Road Courtyard to meet Jia She. When the new uncle came, he had to meet all the relatives in the family. More importantly, he
This eldest brother is afraid that he will be free soon, and then...
At noon, a large family in Rongguo Mansion accompanied the young couple to a homecoming banquet, and in the afternoon they allowed them to continue to accompany the old lady Lego.
Before evening, the young couple bid farewell to their parents' relatives and then went home together. According to the rules at this time, the newlyweds were not allowed to stay overnight when they returned home.
The Li family, Li Yunhao's mother, and Yuan Chun's mother-in-law were originally a little dissatisfied with Rongguo Mansion's previous strong performance in dowry and other aspects.
But in the past two days, I learned about the huge benefits of the [Elf Tree] to the entire Li Mansion, especially the precious ability of "Gathering Spirits" to subtly change the concentration of extraordinary factors in the place where I live.
This is much more effective than any Feng Shui or other stuff, or it can be said to be the ultimate house-keeping treasure!
In this way, even the mother-in-law Li Mu, who was born to have trouble with her daughter-in-law, couldn't help but say that Zhenxiang is really sweet. In addition, she was a married woman in the early Yuan Dynasty, and she was usually a good girl with a gentle and virtuous temperament who rarely had conflicts with others. Gradually, Li Mu gradually
I started to recognize Yuanchun.
…
Yuanchun's marriage has come to an end. How they will live in the future depends on the couple's own management. At most, others can only help and play the drums.
At the Manila port, the army began to gather again. After a period of training and training, the 300 pseudo-innate strong men assembled from many families in Daqing finally barely reached the level of participating in large-scale army operations.
There were not a large number of other ordinary soldiers accompanying the army in this battle. Nearly half of them were sailors responsible for operating warships and a small number of gunners. The army responsible for maintaining law and order after successfully occupying the enemy's city only brought more than 10,000 soldiers.
There are still nearly 30,000 ordinary troops led by Xie Yun, and Jia Xia Zhou and Da Hei cooperate with them to guard Luzon. The leader of the expedition is naturally Liu Changgong... and the [Blue Dragon Jade].
Six hundred pseudo-innates and more than 40 innate strong men occupied three imitation Galenic sail warships. No matter where they were, the strong ones had their corresponding privileges.
Those who are above the pseudo-innate level are already qualified enough for the Nanyang Fleet to prepare relatively spacious cabins for them. After all, most of these people are very old and have come out of their own privileged situations to fight for the country.
All other benefits are also in line with those at the captain level. Well... of course, this kind of treatment is still on the low side, but the conditions of the Nanyang Fleet are limited, and these pseudo-geniuses have already received corresponding rewards after their families.
They were just dispatched, so they didn't complain too much.
Even if there are those who want to complain, once you take a look at the "special officers" who were selected from the Rongguo Mansion Guards to lead and train them, those complaints will no longer be possible.
The movement of Nanyang's army gathering is still a bit loud. The port of Manila has long been a strategic location that the governors of Western countries in the Far East pay close attention to.
Before the Nanyang army was assembled, some Western merchant ships left the Manila port for some excuses. It goes without saying that some of these merchant ships must have gone to inform all parties.
But this is unavoidable, and even if the Dutch in Batavia City, the destination of this battle, can receive the news one or two days in advance, the impact on the battle situation should not be too great.
After all, this is not an ordinary naval battle between the Westerners themselves, but a dimensionality reduction attack from Daqing's high-level warriors.
After a six-day voyage, more than 40 warships of the Nanyang Fleet finally arrived at an area nearly 600 nautical miles away from Batavia.
After the Nanyang Fleet occupied Manila, it absorbed a lot of precious navigation information from the Castilians. Although many minor problems were encountered during this voyage, they were all solved one by one.
At this moment, two sentry ships in front responsible for path exploration suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the lookout on the main battleship, and signaled "A large number of enemy forces are approaching".
The lookout quickly blew the warning horn to remind the commander of his own ship to immediately check the direction of the sentinel ship. After communicating with the flag, it turned out that a large number of warships had appeared about 80 nautical miles away from his own fleet.
Preliminary estimates show that the enemy's main warships, which are warships of the Galenic sailing class, total more than 180. This is no longer the number of main warships that any Western country can possess in the Far East.
There is no doubt that they have formed an alliance!
And it's not just an alliance between one or two families. What's more important is that now that they have appeared here, their purpose is no longer clear.
Liu Changgong and several military counselors judged the tactics adopted by this huge Western fleet in a very short period of time.
Since the city defense battle is a "bombing tactic" that will definitely defeat Daqing Wufu, then we will gather all our forces to destroy the warships where you have settled at sea!
As long as these Daqing battleships whose main function is actually responsible for transportation are destroyed, hundreds of nautical miles away from Batavia, on the boundless sea, no matter how tough you Daqing warriors are, can they still swim over and beat me?
Obviously, those in the Western countries think so. It’s not that they are stupid, it’s just that the Western countries that have not been baptized by aircraft carrier tactics obviously lack the awareness of air defense.
In other words, they have inexplicably strong confidence in the artillery they rely on to roam the five oceans, and they also believe that the musketeers lined up on their battleships and firing volleys are enough to deal with the remaining enemies that have sporadicly passed through the dense network of artillery.
At this moment, the dark combined fleet of the Western countries appeared in the sight of Daqing's Nanyang Fleet, and it was still far away. It was obvious that it was not within the range of the 36-pounder gun. There was a main battleship at the vanguard of the Western Combined Fleet that opened fire for measurement.
distance and start trying to grab the T!
As the fleets of both sides advanced rapidly, a series of gunshots appeared five or six nautical miles away from the Nanyang Fleet accompanied by water columns rising into the sky.
It is obvious that the commander of the Combined Fleet, Jan Peters and Jon Cohen, intends to destroy, at least severely damage, all the main battleships of the Nanyang Fleet at all costs.
If all the high-level Daqing warriors who came to Batavia this time could be drowned or blasted to death, then it would not be difficult to open the gate of that huge and rich country.
A big country? A big country with a population of 10 million? So what, it’s not like we haven’t conquered it before!
Just when the impact point of the farthest shell fired by the 36-pounder cannon of the Far East Combined Fleet of Western Powers was about to be within three nautical miles of the Nanyang Fleet, Daqing Wufu of the Nanyang Fleet had also completed adjustments and began to take off.
Seen from a distance, 600 pseudo-innate warriors soared like a flock of seagulls from the three battleships in the vanguard of the Daqing Nanyang Fleet, straight into the blue clouds. Jane Peters, commander of the Western Combined Fleet, John Cohen, began to look solemn.
"Damn! How can these yellow-skinned monkeys be so fast? All ships speed up, and speed up!"
"Let the fleet adjust the artillery firing range quickly!"
"The musketeers reload immediately and be ready to fire at any time!"
"..."
The take-off speed of Daqing's high-level warrior regiment obviously exceeded the expectations of the Dutch commander of the Western Fleet. This can be felt from his increasingly anxious urging.
In order to win the trust of other temporary allies, the Dutch fleet was at the forefront this time. Although they were mentally prepared to bear a certain amount of losses, it would of course be best if they could be saved.
And as the military support of the Dutch in the Far East, if this fleet suffers heavy losses, I am afraid that even if I defeat this Daqing fleet, my life in the Far East will not be easy.
It is expected that the benefits that the Netherlands will get from dividing the Daqing feast will be very few...
But soon, Jane Peters and Jon Cohen no longer had the heart to dream about carving up Daqing, because in this very short period of time, the "bombing" of Daqing's high-level warriors came!
Six hundred quasi-innate warriors, led by forty-six innate warriors and Liu Changgong, attacked from a very high altitude at a nearly vertical angle to the Western Combined Fleet composed of more than 180 main battleships below.
The Western countries were obviously prepared this time. Two warriors dressed as heavy-armored knights were shining with heart-stopping energy, and they led more than thirty sky knights (third-level faith knights) who could fly in the air into the sky.
, the high-level martial arts group heading towards Daqing!
Two fourth-level legendary level combatants?
Liu Changgong looked at the two figures ushering in the Western United Fleet below. He did not expect that the Western countries would have such a foundation in the Far East. Fortunately...
A crisp green light flashed, and a green dragon about three feet long and two meters thick suddenly appeared in front of the high-level warriors, attacking one of the two fourth-level faith knights with an extremely savage attitude.
The eye-catching yellow-brown light on the [Earth-Splitting Ax] in Liu Changgong's hand also began to shine...
