"Are you Huang Binqing? Why are you so stubborn and fighting against the general trend?"
Huang Binqing was kidnapped and brought to Zuo Hua, looking quite embarrassed.
But this man has strong bones and is full of arrogance even when he is a prisoner.
"Huh, whether you want to kill or behead, you have to do whatever you want. Huang will stand upright and will not be humiliated."
"Are you the only one who is worthy of standing upright?"
Zuo Hua was sarcastic and not polite at all.
"You are following the Ming Dynasty and working for the tigers, preying on the common people. You have brought chaos to the vast country, and countless families have been destroyed. What qualifications do you have to pretend to be a hero?"
Huang Binqing's face turned red after being scolded, and his anger rose.
"If we have different paths, we should not conspire with each other. The history is brilliant, but it cannot tolerate your slander. Thousands of years later, it is still unclear who is the hero and who is the traitor."
Although Zuo Hua is a soldier, he has learned a lot from Zuo Mengeng and his words are very sharp.
"For your own fame and wealth, you don't understand the general trend and regard the people of the world as stupid dogs. Not to mention thousands of years, even if it is tens of millions of years, all you will get is infamy."
Huang Binqing's eyes were so wet that he bit his lip and blood was flowing.
He thought that he had been an official for many years, worked conscientiously, and performed his duties with respect and loyalty. I dare not say that he has any merits, but at least his name is still intact.
Who would have thought that facing Zuo Hua today, he wouldn't need to be tortured, just a few words would make him feel ashamed.
His angry eyes glanced around, trying to win back the victory.
However, wherever he looked, he saw Xia army soldiers entering the city in an orderly manner. In addition to controlling key points, they never entered ordinary people's homes, let alone wantonly killing, looting, and robbery.
Even some civilian homes that were damaged by the war had soldiers helping to repair and clean them up.
Jiujiang City, which was originally filled with war, quickly returned to calm. The orderliness is even far better than when they were in power.
Faced with all this, Huang Binqing felt powerless and could no longer say a word.
"Take him into custody and hand him over to a court for trial later."
Zuo Hua didn't want to talk nonsense to Huang Binqing.
He actually knew everything about Huang Binqing's reputation.
There is no doubt about Xia Jun's intelligence work.
But no matter what, even if Huang Binqing is an honest and good official, but in order to maintain the old dynasty, he stands on the opposite side of the Xia Kingdom and the people, and he is a complete enemy.
His loyal ministers are my enemies.
Different positions lead to different opinions.
Zuo Hua was a soldier and had no power to convict Huang Binqing. He can only leave it to the judiciary, which will definitely allow him to get a fair result.
The people in Jiujiang City were all frightened after the city was destroyed, not knowing what would happen next.
But after a day, I saw the wind was calm and everything was safe. The days had to go on, so they tried to get out of the house.
It turned out that the Xia Army soldiers on the street did not harass or obstruct him, and the shops were already open for business.
The people felt relieved and started their daily lives.
Jiujiang soon returned to peace.
By the afternoon, a notice was posted all over the streets.
It clearly stated the names and positions of the new Jiujiang Municipal Government officials, and told people which department they should go to for any matters they wanted to handle.
There are also some laws and regulations, all of which are clear and clear.
In front of each notice, there is a Xia Army soldier who is responsible for explaining.
In this way, even illiterate people will know what happened.
This novel model amazed the people of Jiujiang, and at the same time they also felt a sense of peace of mind.
"Report, thirteen trading houses in Jingdezhen sent letters asking for help. They jointly launched an uprising three days ago and took control of Jingdezhen. They are currently being attacked by the Ming army of Raozhou Prefecture and are already in danger."
Zuo Hua asked: "Where is the first division?"
According to the plan, Raozhou Mansion is the combat area of the First Division. As a result, a letter asking for help from a Jingdezhen businessman was sent to him.
Yang Yunsheng has detailed information.
"The First Division has entered Jiangxi, but it is blocked on the road and is currently attacking. It will take at least five to ten days to reach Leping, and it will definitely be too late to support Jingdezhen."
There is no pushback within the Xia army, not to mention that the commander of the other group, Zuo Rong, is Zuo Hua's brother.
Now that he was free this way, Zuo Hua made a decision immediately.
"Instruct all the ministries to assemble, leave the predetermined defensive forces, and directly attack Raozhou Mansion."
Zuo Hua did not go directly to rescue Jingdezhen, but chose to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.
Because Raozhou Prefecture is on the east bank of Poyang Lake, the East China Sea Fleet can enter Poyang Lake by turning a corner from the Yangtze River, with an unimpeded journey.
As long as the capital of Raozhou is attacked, the Ming army in Jingdezhen will definitely return to support.
Otherwise, if Raozhou Mansion is lost, everything will be lost.
While the Army is massing behind, the Navy moves fastest. Early the next morning, we entered Poyang Lake through the lake entrance.
"Report, there are enemy naval forces blocking the front. The number of ships is unknown and they are rushing towards us."
Zuo Hua looked back and had some thoughts in his mind.
"Order the first team to circle directly to the west, and the second team to enter the lake and fight on the spot."
The surface of Poyang Lake is very wide. Although the water depth is very shallow, the wooden warships do not draft much, so it is enough for the East China Sea Fleet to open up its battle array.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the East China Sea Fleet and Jiangxi Navy began to encounter each other.
These warships of the Ming Navy are all old flat-bottomed boats. Although they are very stable in the inner lake, they can also be manually rowed and have extraordinary speeds.
But the weapons and equipment above are very backward.
Only a few larger ships were equipped with Fran machine guns, and they lacked necessary maintenance and their performance was worrying.
Zuo Hua was not polite and immediately ordered all ships to use full firepower.
Suddenly, artillery and rocket launchers rang across the lake, creating rounds of gunpowder storms.
The small boats of the Ming Navy could not withstand the explosive power of the shells. If they hit, they would be blown to pieces immediately, and no one on board would be left alive.
Even if the cannonball misses, as long as the impact point is not too far away, the shock wave of the explosion can overturn these small boats.
Although the Ming Navy had a large number of warships, the East China Sea Fleet also had a large number of artillery pieces.
There are nearly forty artillery pieces on one ship, and even if there are only three warships firing, there are as many as one hundred and twenty. Coupled with the rocket launchers, it was like a violent storm that completely enveloped the Ming Navy.
In a short period of time, the Ming Navy lost more than 300 warships. As for those who died in the battle, it is impossible to count them.
On the wall of Wucheng on the west bank, Jiangxi Governor Kuang Zhao came quietly to check on the battle situation, and saw this unforgettable scene.
For a civil servant like him, Xia Jun's fighting style was completely beyond his imagination.
Kuangzhao felt cold all over as he saw the Ming Navy's navy collapsing at the first touch and running away one after another. I finally understood what a wrong decision it was to choose resistance.
