It turns out that this is a strategy set by Hu Yimin and Liu Ziguang. This move is called using the enemy's strategy. Don't you want to ambush me? Then I will use a mantis to catch the cicada, with the oriole behind. Send someone to tell Lai Youwei first, and immediately send a team.
Thousands of troops went to sea to encircle and suppress the rebels. After Lai Youwei sent out the information, he took control of the Fuyuan, replaced it with sailors he trusted, loaded up ballast and soldiers and set sail to sea. The airship troops hid in the high-altitude clouds to follow.
They advanced and waited until the enemy fleet was discovered before descending to catch them by surprise.
This battle was a great victory, Cheng Liangjue's maritime power was completely wiped out, and more than 2,000 navy officers and soldiers were captured alive. The cargo ship loaded with prisoners headed for Shanghai. The telegraph machine on the airship began to send out radio waves. The victory
The good news passed through the clouds, crossed the sea, and reached the Governor's Yamen. After seeing the good news, Liu Ziguang laughed happily, stood up and high-fived Hu Yimin to celebrate. After a crisp sound, Liu Ziguang went out happily, leaving Hu Da behind.
The young lady grinned and covered her red little hands while sucking in the cold air.
Zhao Jing had regained consciousness and was drinking medicine under Zhao Kang's service. Liu Ziguang walked in with a crossbow and said: "This is the weapon that the princess lost at the train station. I haven't thanked you for saving the eldest princess."
"
"It's just a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about. I don't think Uncle Zhenwu came here just to thank me." Zhao Jing's expression was still very bad, but she looked very powerful when she spoke. After all, she was a martial artist and had a good foundation.
Liu Ziguang sneered, and asked his entourage to bring in a basket of canned fruits, and said: "Of course I am here to visit the wounded. The princess's sword wound was caused by Wen Jun's hand, right? Don't worry, I will find him soon to avenge you."
When Wen Jun was mentioned, Zhao Jing's face clearly showed an unhappy look: "It doesn't matter who stabbed him, it's all our own business in Song Dynasty. You asked me because you haven't found the whereabouts of Wen Jun and others, right?"
?”
Liu Ziguang said sternly: "You let Wen Jun and his thousands of men run away without authorization. These people will definitely make trouble in our Ming Dynasty. Jiangnan is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. We must not cause military disasters rashly. I hope the princess can provide some
Useful information to find the whereabouts of these people before he causes a huge disaster."
Zhao Jing turned her head away and was silent for a long time before saying: "No one can understand this man's heart, and his behavior is very unpredictable, so I don't know where he went. The only thing I know is that this man has the world in mind."
, I hope it can be of help to you, okay, I’m tired, brother, let’s see the guests off.”
The place where Zhao Jing was recuperating was the Governor's Mansion, which was obviously Liu Ziguang's territory. She behaved as if she were at home. Liu Ziguang knew that Zhao Jing was a stubborn person, so he nodded and said: "If there is more information, please let Zhao Jing
Kang, tell me, you should take good care of yourself." After saying that, he left.
After Liu Ziguang left, Zhao Jing sighed deeply and closed her eyes. The scene of that day appeared in front of her eyes: she forced Wen Jun with a sword, took out the telegram from the Privy Council and ordered him to immediately stop all unauthorized activities.
Wen Jun was unmoved by the military action, and told him to take action with a stern voice. Although he started the army privately, which was akin to rebellion, he was his fiancé after all. Zhao Jing gritted her teeth, turned the dagger upside down and pointed it at her heart, taking her life.
In exchange for Wen Juan's reining in, Wen Juan remained unmoved. Zhao Jing stabbed the dagger into his chest, blood spurted out. Wen Juan stared at her with a livid face for a while, silently carrying
People are gone.
As a senior officer in the Pingren Division, Zhao Jing knew Wen Jun's plan. This young man who was a Duke of Song Dynasty, participated in politics in the Upper House, and was the deputy envoy to the Ming Dynasty actually had great ambitions. His ideal was to seize the Ming Dynasty's territory and restore the Ming Dynasty.
The rule of the Song Dynasty, but the imperial court did not support this idea. The population in the Song Dynasty was small and they could not provide a large number of troops to participate in such a war to seize the world. Moreover, they did not want to invest the wealth accumulated over the years into the war. Their idea was to use trade
Earn more money, discover new continents through ocean exploration, and thus develop the Song Dynasty. So Wenjun abandoned the court and organized people to carry out activities privately, went deep into the Ming Dynasty to bribe and install people, and recruited Nanyang natives as soldiers. The Wen family was strong
With the financial resources of Wen Jun and the support of his comrades in the military, this kind of activity has been carried out closely. Cheng Liangjue was the largest Ming Dynasty official whom Wen Jun bribed. Shanghai also became Wen Jun's base. However, with the arrival of Liu Ziguang, everything changed.
His plan was disrupted, forcing him to take action in advance.
Zhao Jing is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Her only choice is to obey the orders of the Privy Council to stop Wen Jun's behavior. Moreover, she cannot bear to see the innocent people living in Song Dynasty perishing in the war. On the one hand, her conscience and her duty.
One party was her fiancé, and the stubborn Zhao Jing resolutely chose to sacrifice herself in exchange for Wen Juan's return.
Wen Jun left with his troops, and Zhao Jing didn't know where exactly he went. Even if she knew, she would not tell Liu Ziguang. According to the information from the Xingren Division, the recently famous general of the Ming Dynasty and his red shirt regiment had great combat effectiveness.
It's really shocking. People who oppose him never end well. Although she knows that her marriage with Wen Jun will definitely fall through after this turmoil, Zhao Jing doesn't want the person she loves to die in the hands of Liu Ziguang, let alone herself.
His second brother Zhao Jing is still in Wenjun's team.
When Liu Ziguang came out, he met the palace maid who came to invite him. She said that the eldest princess had sent him to see him. The eldest princess came all the way just to be with her sweetheart. The sweetheart had been very busy these two days and couldn't get away. The princess knew
I didn't dare to disturb him, but now that the other party was here, I naturally wanted to invite him over to meet me.
Liu Ziguang followed the palace maid to the residence of the eldest princess. After paying homage according to the rules, he reported to the princess what happened in the past two days. Zhu Cheng, who was separated by a layer of bead curtains, heard that Liu Ziguang was worried about the missing troops from the Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly asked the palace maid to
Shangqinghuo's tea calmed the uncle's anger, and he asked carefully about what happened at that time. Liu Ziguang said in his heart that you are a girl just asking about military and national affairs. He thought in his heart that he dare not say it out loud. After all, she is a dignified eldest princess.
, I had to tell the whole story in detail.
The eldest princess frowned, thought for a while and said: "It is indeed very strange for thousands of people to disappear in the city. There are no traces of these people in the surrounding counties, which is even more strange. From my perspective, Jiangnan is densely populated.
It is difficult for thousands of native soldiers to hide, and there is only one place where so many people can be hidden, and that is on a boat."
"Ship? What kind of ship?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"When I was at the lake before, I saw people using canals to transport passengers. Logically speaking, such cargo ships cannot carry passengers. However, those poor people often like to squeeze in the cabin with goods and livestock in order to save money.
Here, a canal boat can carry a lot of people. You can’t tell if you put a tarpaulin on it. Thousands of people don’t need too many boats. Just now you said that the man surnamed Wen has been prepared, so he must have mobilized a few people.
It is not difficult to build ten canal boats. If you load the troops and horses into them and find a steamboat to pull them in front, you can go wherever you want, and it will be very fast."
The eldest princess was a very smart girl. Her words reminded Liu Ziguang that Songcheng, where people living in the Song Dynasty lived, was next to the Suzhou River. It was very convenient to find a boat in Shanghai. Wen Jun had been in business for so many years, so he must have a boat of his own.
The team took advantage of the darkness to load the troops onto the boats, and then sailed along the Suzhou River into the Huangpu River. Following the Huangpu River, you can enter the Yangtze River. After entering the Yangtze River, you can follow the sea and return to the Song Dynasty. You can even go upstream and attack Nanjing.
! Just now Zhao Jing said that Wen Jun has the world in mind. Such ambitious people naturally do things differently from ordinary people, so Liu Ziguang fully believes that he has the courage to rush to the capital thousands of miles away. The technology in Song Dynasty is advanced, as evidenced by submarines and radios. Maybe Wen Jun
Juan has more powerful weapons in his hands. The exact number of his troops cannot be determined, but there are always three thousand. The capital's city defense mainly deals with threats from the north. It does not pay enough attention to the south, and it is easy for Wen Juan to be defeated.
Taking advantage of the loophole, Liu Ziguang broke into a cold sweat when he thought of this.
"Thank you for the tip, princess!"
Liu Ziguang stood up and left without even taking a sip of the tea given by Zhu Cheng, which made the eldest princess feel sour. She originally wanted to treat Uncle Zhenwu with a banquet, but she didn't know that he was so busy that he didn't have time. The eldest princess felt very sad.
It was amazing, so he told the palace maid: "I have to cook today."
Liu Ziguang and the generals analyzed the latest intelligence and concluded that Wen Jun's troops were likely to leave Shanghai on civilian ships. At that time, the Suzhou River, Huangpu River and other waterways were still under the control of the Cheng Liangjue Navy. It was really difficult to enter the Yangtze River in the dark.
It's easy. The food and water consumed by thousands of people in the Ministry of Education every day is not a small amount. They must not have brought much dry food with them in a hasty departure. Going ashore to buy large quantities of food will definitely attract attention, so the best way is to make a quick decision and go straight to the capital.
.
"I need information, the specific number of people under Wen Jun's command, data on all the ships on the Suzhou River that day, how many cargo ships, how many passenger ships? How long does it take to drive along the Yangtze River to the capital, and how many checkpoints are there along the way? You guys go and do it quickly." Liu Ziguang
Ordered. He once again felt the urgent need for a staff team. Fighting requires intelligence analysis and calculations. It is not as simple as relying on what is written in the book to defeat the enemy with a false shot, luring the enemy deep, and then killing an ambush soldier from behind the mountain.
matter.
"Telegram again to the capital to strengthen river defense and city defense. The Navy will search for all suspicious northbound ships and send airships to conduct reconnaissance along the route. Wen Jun must not be allowed to enter the capital."
