Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 714 The North Sea Fleet's First Battle Preparation

At the end of February in the 14th year of Chongzhen, the warm and humid south of the Yangtze River is already the time when the warbler flies and the grass grows, but the northern land is still in the cold spring.

On this day, there was a busy scene inside and outside the city of Dengzhou Prefecture on the Jiaodong Peninsula. Horses, cattle, mules, and carts were rushing back and forth between the warehouse and the wharf, transporting a huge amount of various military supplies to the wharf and unloading them. Then they were transported to giant ships by the young and strong people in the supply camp.

This is the third day after the thaw in the Bohai Bay, and it is also the second day of this lively scene.

"Well, Lao Zhang, how can the wives and concubines of the Ye family give birth?

In just two years, Ye's family had three sons and one daughter!The Er family just gave birth to a son and a daughter!
You said, why is the land in the E family so poor? ! "

In the second hall of the capital governor's mansion of the famous North Sea Fleet, the governor Liu Guoneng, who was wearing a second-grade lion men's uniform, was chatting with the admiral Zhang Wenyao.

Since the end of October in the 11th year of Chongzhen, he led his troops back to Terengganu and settled down. Seeing that the situation has completely stabilized, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Wenyao also married wives and took concubines successively, completing their lifelong events of inheriting their families.

In fact, although Liu Guoneng and Zhang Wenyao have been in the army for many years, they are not very old.

Liu Guoneng was only 11 years old when he was in Chongzhen for 31 years, and Zhang Wenyao was two years older than him. They were both in the golden stage of men.

After Liu Guoneng married his wife, he took three more concubines in one breath, and Zhang Wenyao was not far behind. After marrying his mother-in-law and aunt, he took four concubines one after another. In more than two years, these wives and concubines gave birth to three concubines for him. A son and a daughter.

And according to his public announcement, there are three more women in the family who are pregnant, which makes Zhang Wenyao, who is one level lower than Liu Guoneng in official position, very embarrassed.

When Liu Guoneng went to his house to pay New Year's greetings on the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Wenyao specially got out all his wives, concubines and children, lined up and showed off to Liu Guoneng. .

"Eh, Lao Liu, what's the point of talking about this?
How is this not fat?
It's obvious that the cows of Ye's family can't do it!
If you don't believe me, why don't you try to stay at your house for a few nights?
Take care of your tender home this year and add imports!

Wow ha ha ha ha! "

Looking sideways at Liu Guoneng's frowning face, Zhang Wenyao felt complacent for a while, and laughed out loud after making some sarcastic remarks.

"Pooh!

How come it doesn't work!
Even though we have been stationed here for more than two years, we have been training our bodies every day, and we are no less slack than before during the war!
If you are not convinced, let's go to the courtyard to make some gestures! "

Seeing Zhang Wenyao's embarrassing expression, Liu Guoneng spat at him first, and then asked Zhang Wenyao to go out for a martial arts competition.

"Well, it's better than a bird!

Er, old Zhang Qiang is proficient in bow and horse, that's his ability in battle. Unlike you, he has learned a whole body of close combat kung fu. If you want to compare, we two have one horse and one horse, and use the arrows to hedge against each other!
Well, one round can make you fall off the horse! "

Zhang Wenyao continued to be complacent with a look of disdain.

"Well, Lao Zhang, don't you have a secret to give birth to a baby?

If so, just say a word for the sake of us fighting the enemy side by side, and put a good shoe upper on the table for you to drink to your heart's content! "

Seeing Zhang Wenyao's virtue, Liu Guoneng knew that this guy was playing tricks again, so he rolled his eyes, hugged his fists and said with a smile on his face.

"Cough cough!
Do you want to talk about the secret, Er Lao Zhang really has it, but there is a condition, if Ye Lao Liu agrees, Er will say, if you don’t agree, then just guard your son and daughter and live happily ever after! "

Seeing Liu Guoneng put down his posture, Zhang Wenyao cleared his throat and looked at Liu Guoneng pretending to be mysterious.

"What conditions?
Ye talk about it and listen! "

Although he didn't know what conditions Zhang Wenyao was going to offer, the delicate Liu Guoneng didn't agree to it outright.

"Old Liu, you are now a second-rank martial artist, and we are one rank behind!

Think about it, we both came from Shaanxi, we both surrendered to the imperial court, and we went to Liaodong together after that, we have the same difference in credit, but why are you a head shorter than Ye?

Uh, I feel very awkward in my heart!

Ye said, if there is another chance to make meritorious service, if Ye Lao Liu competes with E Lao Zhang again, wouldn't E be following you for the rest of his life eating dirt? "

In the post-war awards, Liu Guoneng was awarded the titles of commander of the second-rank fleet and general Zhaoyi, while Zhang Wenyao was awarded the title of commander of the second-rank fleet and general Zhaoyong. awkward.

"Old Zhang, what you mean is that you want to lead the army when you go south to fight the Spaniards this time?
But what did you see in the military order of the Ministry of War?
After the capture of Manila, our army will stay there and only rotate every five years!
Think about it, how could you not see your mother-in-law and children for five years? "

Before the Spring Festival in the 13th year of Chongzhen, the military order of the Ministry of War was sent to Dengzhou. The military order clearly required Liu Guoneng and Zhang Wenyao's troops to send troops south to Quanzhou Prefecture immediately after the Bohai Sea thawed in the coming year. , After taking Manila, the official army stayed there for five years to maintain local order while preparing to meet heavy Spanish troops.

"Thought it out a long time ago!

Isn't it just five years?It will pass in the blink of an eye!

We are all warriors, if you want to make meritorious service and get promoted, you can't do it without military merit!
There are more brats in the family, and even if it’s a big deal, you don’t have to worry about losing the incense to worship, but you can’t do it, Lao Liu!

You are just a child now, and the girl will marry sooner or later, that doesn’t count. If something happens to you when you go overseas, the incense in your family is not prosperous. It’s not a good thing these days, so ah, here For a while, it's still time to fight!

Ah, I will leave you the secret recipe for having children. After I leave, I can give birth vigorously. When three or five babies are born, I will go overseas to replace my baby. What a great thing, I said yes No? "

Zhang Wenyao tried his best to bewitch him.

Now Li Chongjin outside the pass, Ma Xianglin in the north, Cao Jia and Luo Shifang in the northwest are all expanding their territory. According to this situation, if their North Sea Fleet does not make any contribution, they can only watch others make immortal achievements. .

Judging from the emperor's generous style of conduct, some of these people may be named marquis and uncles in the future. That is the glory and wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation, which is incomparable to military generals like them who cannot be hereditary.

"Eh, Lao Zhang, don't go around doing these things in circles, how can Er Lao Liu go to grab credit from you?
This time the first effort is not to say, I will definitely give it to you.

However, this first wave of soldiers has to be chosen carefully! "
