Tainan, Anping
As the Han army ships gradually approached, the sharp-eyed Hauge saw the black cannon muzzles mounted on the ships, and was shocked.
The Hongyi cannon had been taken away by Liu Xiang a long time ago and equipped on his own warship. Why did the Dutch still have the Hongyi cannon? so……
"not good!"
An idea flashed in Hauge's mind and he said urgently.
However, it was too late. With the rumbling sound of "Boom!!!", the red cannons on the warships sprayed out large amounts of gunpowder smoke. Then many warships of the Korean Navy faced the most powerful artillery fire of the Han army and shook violently. Wandering in circles.
Hauge said urgently: "Let's go, let's go!"
As the flag was waved, the flag ship took the lead in turning and fled towards the northeastern sea, preparing to escape to the area north of Taiwan Island.
The ships carrying 30,000 to 40,000 North Korean naval forces were exposed to the range of the Hongyi cannon.
Cui Daocheng also struggled to direct his ships to evacuate. However, at this moment, a harsh scream suddenly came from high in the sky, and then a cry of surprise rang in his ears.
"boom!"
Sawdust flew in all directions on the deck. Cui Daocheng groaned in pain, covered his bleeding neck, and fell to the ground.
And this is just the tip of the North Korean navy's exposure.
In fact, if Hauge knew that this was just a naval force of the Jiangnan Camp, he would definitely not have fled. Instead, he would have chosen to fight the Han army to the death, saying that he would have suffered such heavy losses.
But the panic after the ambush made this brave and combat-savvy Jurchen prince lose his former calmness.
At this moment, Jia Heng dispatched his generals to lead the boats to chase the North Korean navy all the way.
The Han army's ships fired more than a dozen Hongyi cannons, and bullets fell on the wooden warships. In a short time, dozens of ships were hit.
Although the North Korean navy continued to fight back with French cannons, bows, arrows, and muskets, their effectiveness was of little use compared to the range, accuracy, and power of the official and military ships.
Looking at the entire battlefield, except for the elite Zhenglan Banner of the Jurchen Eight Banners, many Korean warships were emitting billowing smoke. A large number of Korean soldiers jumped from the ship into the sea, holding a sampan and headed towards their companions. The boat goes away.
The frost on Chen Xiao's beautiful face dispersed, and she couldn't hide the joy in her voice as she said, "The North Korean Navy has been defeated."
Jia Heng said softly: "That's how naval battles are. A defeat is a big defeat. The North Korean navy was unable to prepare, so we calculated with intention but not with intention."
Then, the boat navy behind them pursued the North Korean navy in a mighty manner.
After the death of Cui Daocheng, the commander-in-chief of the North Korean Navy, other generals of the North Korean Navy led their own naval forces and followed the direction of Hauge's escape.
Jia Heng groaned and said: "All armies listen to the order and pursue with all their strength!"
As a result, the naval battle continued until dusk, until Shi Nai, the Marquis of Baoling who was pursuing from a distance, also led a group of navy and arrived at the big island.
Anping City
As dusk falls, the glowing sunset glows like clouds in the western sky, and the din of the day's battle gradually dissipates, leaving only the whistling sound of the northwest wind.
Jia Heng and a group of sailors returned to the island, and the torches on the port were brightly lit, and the cheers were loud, almost resounding throughout the entire city of Relanja.
The residents of the Dutch Red Barbarians who originally had hopes in the city, as well as the Han people who yearned for the Red Barbarians of the Netherlands, were shocked.
Baoling Hou Shi Nai said with a smile: "Zi Yu, the people on the island really eat pots of pulp to welcome Master Wang."
Jia Heng said: "Although Damuan Island has been separated from the Central Plains for decades, most of the residents on the island are from Fujian and Zhejiang. They have a heart for the Han Dynasty, just like a child, waiting eagerly for Chunxuan."
The aboriginal people living in the colonies lived a life in which their dignity and rights were trampled upon by the Dutch colonists, and as time passed, the harsh treatment of the imperial court faded away in the beautification of memory.
"Marquis Shi, please go to the government office first. I will gather the gentry on the island in the hall today to discuss all matters on the island."
Today, I took advantage of this great victory to convince the merchants who used to work for Hongyi on the island.
Baolinghou Shi Nai smiled and said, "Please, Ziyu."
The two of them entered the official office at Annan Castle in a polite manner.
At this moment, the Han merchants in the hall and the Han people in the city greeted each other one after another.
If an oil painting is drawn, it can even be used as an illustration in history textbooks in later generations.
Jia Heng looked at the crowd, his mind wandering for a while, thinking randomly.
At this moment, the old man who was wearing the foreign uniform for the leader put a smile on his face and said, "Old Li Xingli, I have met Duke Wei."
Previously, a member of the Li family was detained and interrogated by the Han army who entered the city. After several investigations, Jia Heng's true identity was found out from the Jin Yiwei.
At this moment, several old men behind the old man also came forward and bowed respectfully to Jia Heng.
They are several Han merchants in the city of Relanzhe. The Lin family is called Lin Tingye, and the Liu family is called Liu Shiyao.
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Senior gentlemen, please get up quickly."
Everyone stood up one after another and looked at the young man with reverence.
Jia Heng said: "Everyone, this island is now Han territory, and the imperial court will send officials. You are all local sages, and you must cooperate with the imperial court in its governance."
The gentry and merchants present all spoke in response, and their attitudes were very obedient.
Jia Heng greeted: "Everyone, come into the room and talk."
With that said, he went ahead and invited Baolinghou Shi Nai to enter the official hall together.
The lights inside are bright and brilliant.
Everyone sat down and looked at the young man in python suit sitting on the main seat in awe.
This is the famous Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng glanced at everyone present and said thoughtfully: "This time Dayu Island returns to the imperial rule, the Han Dynasty will uphold the freedom of maritime trade and encourage trade. In other words, the business of everyone here will not be affected."
When the merchants present heard this, most of their faces showed joy.
"The imperial court will use its navy to severely crack down on pirates. In the future, Damuan Island will become a port for our Han Dynasty to trade with Southeast Asian countries." Jia Heng said.
It can be said that history has opened a new page here.
From then on, the original Taiwan would become the springboard for the Han Dynasty to enter the great voyage.
Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, if you have any doubts, you can ask them together. I will explain to you about the future development and policies of Dayuan Island."
At this time, Lin Tingye bravely asked: "Duke Wei, the Dutch Red Barbarians have been living on the island for decades, and there are also many Red Barbarian aborigines. How to deal with these people?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The Hongyi have oppressed the residents of our island for decades. They will be thrown into prison and forced to do hard labor to atone for their sins."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had complicated expressions on their faces.
Jia Heng glanced at the head of the Li family and said: "The gentry who were originally employed by Hongyi to govern the people of the island for Hongyi, if they have no blood debt, can forget the blame, but if they harm their compatriots and commit heinous crimes, I am a big man. The law will not show mercy.”
Everyone present heard the murderous intention hidden in the words, and their expressions turned serious. They were all worried.
Jia Heng turned around and smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, let's have a banquet."
Baolinghou Shi Nai looked at the young man and nodded secretly in his heart.
After having a banquet with the merchants on Da Yuan Island, Jia Heng also came to the study with Baoling Hou Shi Nai to talk about business.
Shi Nai said: "Zi Yu, after this battle, Liu Xiang and others must not cause chaos. Only the remnants of the Jurchen Navy are still on the run. What are Zi Yu's plans?"
Jia Heng said: "Liu Xiang's troops have fled to other islands. I intend to let King Beijing lead the troops, assisted by Zhao'an soldiers and horses under the three Yang brothers, to go to the islands to destroy them. As for Hauge and the North Korean navy, they are currently fleeing in There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people outside, which is still a large force. If they harass our southeast coast, the situation will be more difficult and we need to pursue them all the time."
Baoling Hou Shi Nai nodded and said: "Ziyu has thought carefully and cannot let Hauge and the North Korean navy go. If they are annihilated, we, the Han Dynasty, can intimidate Liaodong and North Korea from Denglai, trap the Donglu and make them Don’t go to sea.”
When that time comes, the Denglai Navy led by him will become a resistance to the attack on Liaodong. If it achieves great success, is it possible that Baolinghou Shijia will also aspire to become the Duke of the country?
Jia Heng nodded and said thoughtfully: "This is exactly what I meant."
Once North Korea's naval power was destroyed, the Manchu Qing's domestic shipbuilding level and the elite Eight Banners alone would not be enough to regain control of the sea.
By that time, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will be blocked in Liaodong, and the dawn of victory is really not far away.
Shi Nai, the Marquis of Baoling, asked: "What strategy does Ziyu plan to take to control this large island and bring it under the rule of my court?"
If you just conquer the territory but fail to manage it well, and it may even become a bloodbath for the imperial court, it will definitely be lost again over time.
Jia Heng said: "I have petitioned the imperial court to establish a province and set up three divisions. From now on, the island will be renamed Taiwan. People from Fujian will be moved to the island to live and cultivate the fields. I think the fields on the island are rich and can produce rice and fruits. , and at the same time, it serves as the place where our navy is stationed and Guangxing trade."
Well, if that doesn't work, just plant pineapples.
Shi Nai said with emotion: "Without farmers, there will be no stability, and without business, there will be no prosperity. It is conceivable that in five or six years, the island will be in great trouble."
The young man in front of me is really a master of both civil and military skills. Looking at the history, the final fate of ministers of the Zhuguo who were so civilized and military... seems not to be good?
There are also some rumors in Beijing, which are not worthy of being a minister.
Thinking of this, Shi Nai suddenly felt worried deep in his heart.
According to historians, the reason why the Marquis has been passed down to this day safely is related to the character of the three generations of Baoling Marquis who seek merit but no fault.
…
…
After the banquet was over, Jia Heng returned to where he was staying in the backyard, looked at the graceful girl, and said softly: "It's a pity that Hauge escaped."
Chen Xiao put down the book in his hand, and with bright eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, asked: "Didn't a fleet be sent to pursue it?"
Jia Heng came to the girl's side, held the girl's slender hair, and said: "Xiaoxiao, whether I can catch up or not is still a matter of debate."
"Wash away the odor of alcohol from your body." Chen Xiao stretched out his slender hand and fanned the strong odor of alcohol under his nose. He let out a light sigh and said warmly: "It's the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year is about to come. Hauge and the North Korean navy are here. It’s time to lead troops to North Korea.”
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Yes."
The sixteenth year of Chongping, which was full of wars and disasters, is about to pass.
Now, the war to regain Taiwan Island has come to an end, and all that is left is to pursue the fleeing Hauge and the North Korean navy.
As for leading troops to recapture Manila from Spain and completely annihilating Liu Xiang's troops, such trivial matters were not something he, the Minister of Military and Aircraft, could do personally.
Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao and said softly: "Wang Shuirong of Beijing should be coming tomorrow. Leave the hands and tail here to him, and let's go after Hauge."
Of course, by the way, we can return to Jinling to welcome the Empress of Song Dynasty, or... Hangzhou Mansion.
Chen Xiao looked disgusted and said, "You smell of alcohol. Don't kiss me later."
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Well, then I won't kiss you."
Chen Xiao: "..."
Although I knew I was worried about the alcohol smell, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I heard it.
"Have you decided on the candidate for governor of Taiwan?" Chen Xiao asked.
Jia Heng said: "If Feng Zheng, the chief envoy of Fujian, becomes governor of Taiwan, he should be able to govern Taiwan well with his many years of experience as an official in Fujian."
"Fujian belongs to a large province. If he is transferred to this deserted island, he might be demoted. He may not agree to it," Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng said: "Why don't you agree? If you are promoted from chief envoy to governor, once you manage the new frontiers well, it will be easy for the central government to pay attention to you."
"If he wants to do something practical, there is nothing wrong with him guarding Tian Mu here." Chen Xiao whispered, "It's just that it's better to use military generals at the beginning. I think King Beijing is quite good." It's appropriate, we're here to clear out the pirates, and it won't delay your reunion with Xue'er, Shuiying, and Xinxin's family."
Jia Heng: "???"
Cher? Is it something you can call?
"Another nonsense." Jia Heng squeezed the big snow pear, which immediately caused the cold and charming girl to look at him angrily, and opened Jia Heng's hand.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "King Beijing is the Minister of Military and Aircraft. If he doesn't want to govern in this barbaric land... In short, we should ask his opinion."
Chen Xiao said softly: "I think he will agree."
Jia Heng said: "If he is willing, the candidates from the three departments can be transferred to Xu Kai as Taiwan's chief envoy. He will be able to practice here for a few years and he will be put to great use in the future."
The harder the border is, the easier it is to temper people and the more results they can produce. After being tempered, they will be of great use.
Xu Kai was originally the prefect, and he shouldn't have been promoted directly to the chief envoy, but he was a civil servant from the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan had just been opened up as a province, so it was not a bad job.
Under Chen Xiaoliuye's slender eyebrows, he looked at the young man with cold eyes, snorted softly, and said sarcastically: "You can appoint whoever you want, do you really think it's Jane who is in the emperor's heart?"
The conversation looks a bit regal?
Jia Heng: "..."
While speaking, Jia Heng stared at that pretty and charming face, with icy skin and jade skin. The corners of her lips were raised, slightly cold, and those narrow and bright eyes had a clear and cold look.
Needless to say, the genes of the old Chen family are mainly the charm of a chivalrous woman, which is very rare.
Jia Heng couldn't help but feel a little fondness in his heart. As he spoke, he touched the beauty's two moist lips.
"It smells like alcohol, please don't kiss, huh~" Before the girl could say anything else, she felt a warm and soft breath covering her, with a hint of wantonness and plunder, blocking the second half of the girl's words.
After a while, Jia Heng didn't say much else, but stopped the beauty's plump waist and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's take a bath together."
Chen Xiao's clear eyes were misty under his curved eyebrows, his jade cheeks were stained with crimson, and he snorted coldly, neither responding nor responding.
After the couple took a bath, there was no need to mention that the fire was like glue and paint.
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sinks to the west and the Golden Crow rises to the east.
The next day, the sky was bright and early in the morning, and the winter mist gradually dispersed.
Jia Heng stood up and turned his eyes to look at the girl sleeping peacefully next to him. He saw the thin, fair face of melon seeds, the rosy cheeks spread out, the beautiful and slightly sharp eyebrows With a trace of charming charm remaining in the corner of her eyes, she said softly: "Xiaoxiao, it's time to get up."
Maybe the war has almost settled down, and the girl is feeling much more relaxed. She had been dragging him around a lot last night.
Well, Xiaoxiao can be quite coquettish sometimes.
Chen Xiao's curved eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. His beautiful cheeks could be broken by the blow. He stood up, looked at the young man, and whispered: "When is it?"
After being on a string to accompany him on adventures for so long, last night... I just feel refreshed now.
Jia Heng said: "There is no time, so get up early."
With that said, the two looked for clothes and began to put them on.
After Jia Heng and Chen Xiao had finished breakfast, they heard a report from the guards of Jinyi Mansion that Wang Shuirong of Beijing had arrived with the navy from the Jiangnan Camp and Wu Tao from the Guangdong Navy.
King Shui Rong of Beijing landed on Taiwan Island, looking excited and high-spirited. He looked at the surrounding fields and said, "It's really a treasure island."
But Wu Tao was not so emotional and looked at the young man who was surrounded by a group of royal guards.
"The last general has met Duke Wei." Wu Tao took a few steps quickly and saluted first with his fists clasped.
Jia Heng said: "General Wu, please get up quickly."
At this time, he looked at Shui Rong aside, smiled and said, "Lord Shui, it's been a hard journey."
With a look of joy on his face, Shui Rong said: "The pirates on Penghu Island have been completely eliminated. In this battle, one hundred and thirty-six warships under Liu Xiang's command were wiped out, and twenty-one thousand soldiers were wiped out and captured. For example, the Jinsha Gang , Sihai Gang, Nujiao Gang, and five thousand people, it can be said to be a great victory."
Jia Heng nodded and asked, "Lord Water, where are the three Yang brothers?"
The reason why the Penghu Island naval battle was won so easily had a lot to do with the defection of the three Yang brothers.
Otherwise, it would take an unknown amount of time and it would not be possible to be so successful.
"It's right behind." Wang Shuirong of Beijing ordered his entourage: "Go and call the three Yang brothers over."
Not long after, Yang Lu led two brothers, Yang Ce and Yang Kuo, to arrive. As soon as he saw the young man in python suit, he walked a few steps quickly and said, "I have seen Duke Wei in my humble position."
Saying that, he bowed to see you.
Jia Heng quickly reached out to help him and said: "Please get up quickly, three generals."
Yang Lu was shocked. Although the Duke of Wei was young, his men were quite strong. They showed great strength when they were holding him up.
And Yang Ce also looked at the boy in the python suit, sighing in his heart, heroes have been born since ancient times.
The powerful Duke of Wei is actually so young. Judging from his appearance, he has not even reached the age of weaklings.
Jia Heng said: "The three generals know the righteousness and are able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light in time. I have recommended the three generals to the imperial court."
Yang Lu said: "Mr. Wei, it is a capital crime for us to stoop to serve as thieves. Thank you to the imperial court for not giving up and giving us the opportunity to serve the imperial court. My brothers are so grateful that we will shed tears of gratitude and swear to repay the imperial court with our lives."
Yang Kuo, the third eldest of the three Yang brothers, was listening, feeling a little bored, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The imperial court doesn't want your three brothers to be so careless. As long as you open up more trade for the imperial court and pursue the remnants of Liu Xiang's troops."
"The remnants of Liu Xiang's troops?" Yang Lu looked a little surprised and asked anxiously.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "They have already fled to the Southeast Asian island country. The imperial court wants to station a naval division in Dayuan Province. We will never tolerate anyone threatening the safety of the island and affecting the smooth sea trade of our country."
Seeing the three people looking at each other, Jia Heng said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the official office first."
From now on, the entire plan of the big island will need to be changed, and it can be renamed according to the place name plan of later generations.
For example, Anping can be called Tainan.
After everyone returned to the hall, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Shui Rong asked curiously: "I heard that the Jurchens' navy arrived at the gate of the big island the day before yesterday and were defeated by Ziyu. The Jurchens fled in a hurry?"
"The Jurchens were arrogant and did not know that Dajuan Island had been occupied by our army. We pretended to be Hongyi and defeated the Korean Navy and Jurchen Navy with Hongyi cannons." Jia Heng recounted the story.
When Shui Rong heard this, he secretly admired him and asked with a smile: "Zi Yu is really full of tricks. I wonder where Hauge's troops are fleeing now?"
Jia Heng said: "We have sent the navy to pursue him. We will have news in the next few days."
