Zhou Shuiqing's men made way for an aisle to allow Fan Wencheng to pass.
Fan Wencheng urged his horse to dismount and rode away without looking back.
The remaining people wanted to take the opportunity to leave together, but when they saw the tiger-shaped flag cavalry all around them, they immediately gave up the unrealistic idea of taking the opportunity to escape.
"Kill them all!" Zhou Shuiqing ordered expressionlessly.
The surrounding Tiger Banner cavalry immediately stepped forward and slaughtered several people who were surrounded.
"Yingzheng, have you found this thing?" A cavalryman found the credentials from the Ming Dynasty officials and sent them to Zhou Shuiqing.
Zhou Shuiqing opened it and took a look at the contents inside, and said sarcastically: "Seek the skin of a tiger."
After saying that, he closed his credentials and put them away.
The battle on the other side ended quickly.
The goods carried by the caravan became the trophies of the Tiger Flag. Except for a few people in the caravan who were abandoned by Fan Wencheng and others, except for a few who were killed because of resistance, the rest all chose to surrender.
It was originally a battle without any suspense, and the victory was no surprise.
After breaking up the battlefield, Zhou Shuiqing began to return with his people, and at the same time sent some people to go back first to deliver the message.
On the way back, Huang Hong from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau came over with a team of people.
"Congratulations to Zhou Yingzheng for his new achievements." Huang Hong was the first to congratulate Zhou Shuiqing after meeting him.
Zhou Shuiqing, who heard this, smiled and said: "What kind of credit is this? If there is any credit, it is also the credit of your Foreign Intelligence Bureau. It was you who passed the news back. I only led people to set up an ambush here in advance."
"The credit belongs to everyone." Huang Hong smiled and then said, "Did you catch that Fan Wencheng? He didn't die here!"
Zhou Shuiqing said: "The man named Fan was very lucky and survived to the end. I just let him go as you said."
"Just leave. It's not too far from the Tuahan Loop. I think we can make it to the Tuahan Loop alive." Huang Hong glanced in the east direction.
Dajin had kept an army of soldiers and horses in Hanhetao for so long, and Huzi Banner had already received the news. It was no secret to Huziqi.
Zhou Shuiqing said: "I heard that this man surnamed Fan is highly valued by the slave chief in Dajin, and he often makes suggestions for the slave chief. If we let such a person go, he will definitely continue to help the slave chief deal with our tiger character in the future. flag."
"No matter how much attention a Han gets, it's just that. Among the slaves and thieves, Han people have no status at all. At most, they are just chamber pots. When you use them, you can bring them to you without having to kick them away." Huang Hong said.
After hearing this, Zhou Shuiqing lowered his voice and asked: "We are surrounded by our own people. Tell me, is that person named Fan a member of your Foreign Intelligence Bureau?"
"Don't ask around." Huang Hong looked at Zhou Shuiqing warily and said, "Don't ask around about this kind of thing. It's not good for you."
Seeing this, Zhou Shuiqing thought that he had guessed it right, and immediately gave Huang Hong a thumbs up and praised: "You are still awesome. I only knew that you planted people there before, but I didn't expect that you planted people so deeply. Don't worry, I It will be kept confidential.”
"Stop guessing." Huang Hong did not intend to explain, but asked, "These people should bring their credentials. Have you found them? If you find them, I need to take them away."
After hearing this, Zhou Shuiqing took out the certificate of credence from his arms, handed it over, and said at the same time: "See if it is this thing."
Huang Hong took it and looked through it in his hand.
Then he nodded and said, "That's it, I took it."
"You took the things away, what are you going to tell the commander-in-chief?" Zhou Shuiqing stretched out his hand to snatch back the credentials from Huang Hong's hand.
Huang Hong retracted his wrist and said: "I will hand over this thing, and it will definitely be handed over to the lord in the end. When you go back, tell Zhang Shuai that I took it."
"What I worked so hard to get finally gave you an advantage." Zhou Shuiqing didn't want to get too involved with the Foreign Intelligence Agency, so he stopped asking for the credentials sent by Ming Dynasty to Liaodong.
Huang Hong put away his credentials and said, "I still have something to do over there, so I will take my people away first. Marshal Zhang is still waiting for the good news of your victory."
"Okay, then I won't send it to you." Zhou Shuiqing said.
Soon, Huang Hong led the people away.
At the mouth of Ganghwa Island in North Korea, a fleet flying a tiger-shaped flag appeared here.
"Commander, the North Korean navy has been spotted ahead!" A soldier came to Zheng Chao to report the situation.
Zheng Chao raised his monocular and looked toward the water ahead.
There are almost dozens of ships on the water in front of them, but they are all small boats. Only a few ships can barely be called warships.
"Come on, if you encounter any ships that do not belong to us after entering the Nihe River, you are allowed to destroy them on the spot without any notification." Zheng Chao ordered to his soldiers.
Soon, the main ship began to use semaphores to notify other ships.
boom! boom! boom!
Not long after Zheng Chao's order was issued, the roar of cannons began to appear on the river in front.
Cannonballs fell into the river one after another, splashing towering water columns. At the same time, many North Korean ships were sunk by the cannons, causing the Korean soldiers on board to fall into the water.
The surface of the Nihe River is much less windy and rough than the waves at sea, so the hit rate of the cannons fired from the Tiger Flag battleship is naturally higher than that at sea.
The shelling only lasted for a short period of time, and less than one-third of the North Korean ships were left on the river. The people on board were either hit by the cannons and died under the cannons, or they fell into the river.
The only remaining North Korean ships also began to turn around and flee away.
However, the Tiger Flag did not give them a chance to escape at all, and large ships rammed towards these North Korean ships.
There was no need to use a special boat to hit them. The waves brought by the big ship overturned them and overturned the small boats in North Korea.
The Tiger Flag soldiers standing on the side of the ship kept firing at the Korean soldiers who fell into the water, causing bright red flowers to bloom on the river.
Soon, the river was cleared of North Korean ships.
The Tiger Flag naval fleet continued to move upward along the river.
Will there be some North Korean soldiers on the banks on both sides of the river? However, these North Korean soldiers dare not approach at all. Once they approach, they will be shelled from the ships.
News of the defeat of the Korean navy quickly spread back to the Korean palace.
The North Korean King Li Zhu looked at the North Korean ministers below with a dark face, and said with a cold face: "The tiger thieves are on their way to Wangjing along the Nihe River. What should you do?"
The North Korean courtiers below all lowered their heads and did not speak.
Seeing this situation, King Lee Joon of Joseon became even more angry and said angrily: "You guys are talking, you have to go to Jeju Island to find trouble with tiger thieves. Now you have attracted people. You can find a way to solve it. If you can't solve it, They are all waiting to be captured by tiger thieves and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.”
