Chapter 60

The two telegrams were quickly finished by the telegraph operator and sent to the Beijing camp in Yingtianfu and the Taihu Squadron of the Daming Navy stationed at the port of Taihu Lake.

A school lieutenant of Jinyiwei also took the transfer order stamped by Peng Ke and went to the Yingtianfu military camp to deliver the order.

Three days later, the armed forces of the sea, land and air all set out to attack Xia Ke Island!
There are five sects in Jiangnan that need to be liquidated, namely the Hualian Sect, the Diancang Sect, the Liangyi Sword Sect, the Knight Island, and the Hehuan Sect.

These five sects are all sects that are guilty of the country and the nation.

There are even many elders in the faction, who once followed the Beiman to kill the Chinese Han people.

For example, some elders of the Hualien Sect now, when they were fledgling killers 30 years ago, all took over the task of assassinating the leaders of the Han uprising army from the Northern Man!

The Knight Island is a sect that sounds complicated.

During the war between the Northern Man and the Old Song Dynasty, Xia Kedao still stood up to resist at the beginning.

However, after Lin'an was breached, seeing that the general situation was over, the owner of the Knight Island led his disciples to retreat directly from the battlefield.

The reason is to preserve vitality.

But when the Beiman horse stepped into the south of the Yangtze River, the owner of the Knights Island immediately surrendered very wisely.

And lick very thoroughly.

Not only immediately accepted the rule of Beiman, but also rushed to cooperate with Beiman to suppress the people.

Of course, even if they licked so thoroughly, one-third of the sect's disciples were still killed by Bei Man for various reasons.

And it is necessary to have disciples to accompany the army all year round, and go on an expedition to the Western Regions with the Northern Man.

And these disciples who went on an expedition to the Western Regions were all the cannon fodder of the northern barbarians, basically they went there and never returned.

However, the owner of Knight Island still received resources from Beiman continuously, trained disciples, and then sent the disciples to Beiman as cannon fodder.

This is also the reason why the sects that surrendered to the Northern Man were not exterminated.

They are useful!
After the northern barbarians occupied the land of Huaxia, they did not let their horses go back to the mountains, but continued to fight westward.

After crossing the countries of the Western Regions, the Northern Man continued to conquer West Asia and even Europe.

But they also encountered some hard stubble in that area.

In the south, there is a group of guys who believe in the gods of Olympus and claim to have the blood of demigods, and they fight back and forth with the shamans of the northern barbarians.

A little to the north, there is also a group of guys who claim to be gods, but in fact they are a group of giants, and they are also fighting against the northern barbarians year after year.

A little further to the west, according to rumors, there is a group of so-called magicians and priests who believe in God and possess magical powers. They are also ready to stop the invasion of the northern barbarians.

In fact, in the east, after the northern barbarians conquered Korea, they also wanted to launch a war against the country of Wa, which was only separated by a strait.

However, the fleet carrying the Northern Man army had not yet arrived in the country of Wa, but was taken away by some mysterious creatures in the sea.

I tried the Eastern Expedition three times before and after, but before I landed in the Wa country, I was first laid down by the giant beast in the sea.

Only then did Beiman give up the idea of ​​continuing the eastward march, and set his sights on the west.

In this case, the warriors of Huaxia land are naturally a good batch of cannon fodder.

Those sects that surrendered to the Northern Man were able to survive because they sent warriors to the Northern Man army every year to participate in the Western Expedition of the Northern Man.

It is conservatively estimated that in the past 30 years, each sect has sent at least thousands of disciples.

Northern Mantian Shanyu ruled No. 20 for five years, that is, the year when Emperor Hongwu rebelled, and the Northern Man almost conquered those Westerners.

However, because of the appearance of Emperor Hongwu, the rule of Beiman in China was immediately messed up.

Later, he was quickly driven back outside the Great Wall by Daming.

After losing the supplement of Chinese warriors, as well as the taxation and food supply on the land of China, the Northern Man's expedition to the west immediately became much more difficult.

Only relying on the logistics of the grasslands and the countries of the Western Regions is not enough to support them to continue their western expedition year after year.

According to the information obtained by Jin Yiwei, it seems that the Beiman have stopped fighting in the west in recent years and are recuperating.

And those foreign races in the West also seized this gap, recuperated, cultivated their vitality, and prepared for a protracted war.

Emperor Hongwu sneered at this very much.

The Beiman, who was suppressed and beaten by Da Ming, was able to suppress those who claimed to be "gods" or those who had the blood of the so-called demigods in the west.

Those "gods" and God's people are somewhat weak.

If it weren't for the fact that age is not allowed, or Hongwu Emperor really wanted to take Daming's army to penetrate the Western Regions, and also go to the West for a stroll, and bring the warm greetings of Daming steam engines to those Westerners.

But the Wa country in the east is a good target.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the first-generation Daming ironclad warship driven by steam power was launched for sea trials. It has 24 eight-inch cannons and is made of all metal. No hindrance!
Regardless of whether it is a He Luo fish with one head but ten bodies and a barking sound like a dog.

It still has a head like a cow, a pair of horns on the head, a slender body, dragon scales on its body, and a slippery fish with four claws.

Or a giant whale with a body length of a hundred feet, a voice like a cow, and one bite that can directly bite off a sampan.

And those sea monsters with strange abilities.

In front of this five-thousand-material iron-clad ship, they can only be reduced from ferocious beasts to prey!
Daming already has the ability to go to the ocean, and the Chinese conquered the mysterious and dangerous sea for the first time!
In eight years, Daming has formed two ocean-going fleets, with a total of more than sixteen iron-clad giant ships of more than 20 materials, and more than [-] bureaucrat ships of [-] to [-] materials!

The cross-sea expedition to the Wa Kingdom has been included in one of the plans that Ming needs to do in the next 20 years!

Off topic.

Let’s talk about Knight Island.

The Knights Island, which has been serving the northern barbarians and providing disciples to accompany the army to the west, is naturally the object that Penke needs to clean up.

In order to stabilize Wang Man, the patriarch of the Acacia Sect, for the time being, it is also to give Jin Yiwei time to find her trace.

So Penke decided to attack Xia Kedao first!

And the bigger the action, the better, and it's best if everyone in Suzhou knows it!

Attract the attention of all Jiangnan Jianghu sects.

This can somewhat dispel some of Wang Man's defenses.

As long as Peng Ke didn't do anything to the Acacia Sect, she would be reluctant to abandon the Acacia Sect's disciple, Jin Chan, to get out of her shell.

At least continue to wait and see to see if Yan Qingbo has any effect.

This gave Jin Yiwei and Dong Yunzi time.

Penke was even a little thankful.

Fortunately, there are still two or three sects in the south of the Yangtze River whose processing priority is higher than that of the Acacia Sect.

In this way, he can delay long enough for his subordinates to find a way to find Wang Man!

It will take a week to deal with a Knight Island, and after that there will be a Hualien Sect and a Liangyi Sword Sect!
This can at least buy Penke more than half a month to play a game of cat and mouse with Wang Man!
He still doesn't believe it, Jin Yiwei plus Qi practitioners can't catch a single person in half a month!

PS. Please ask for a monthly pass, everyone will reward fifty or sixty tickets to save the children! !
　There are sea beasts with mysterious power in the sea.

　　The West also has a system of occultism.

　　The magician and the priest in the west are with each other, and the blood of the Greek demigods and the Nordic giants coexist in West Asia and Northern Europe.

　　But what kind of scene will they face against Daming, who has taken the path of science and has surreal steampunk equipment and weapons?
