Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 55 Chaos
The sun rises.

On the sea not far from Zhoushan Island, under a clear sky, a fleet of more than 500 large and small ships came with the wind.It was Zhoushan Huang Binqing who led the way to attack Huang Dazhen.

"Ahead is Jiao Guam. This is the gateway to Dinghai and the only way to Zhoushan. My uncle Huang Zongzhen has transported grain and stone to the island, and has been waiting for Governor Wang for a long time."

Wang Chao was first invited to Huang Dazhen's boat, and looked at the island in front of him from a distance, very happy.

While talking, two warships sailed from Jiaoguan Island. The ships were tall and the flags were fluttering. The yellow flags could be seen from afar.

"My uncle sent someone to meet him."

The two warships approached, but it was Zhu Jiu and Lu Wei, Huang Binqing's confidants, both of whom had the rank of naval guerrilla generals, and they were skillfully approaching with the warship.

"Uncle Su Jing has arrived at Jiao Guam, and is preparing for a banquet to welcome the wind, please go to Master Taiwan."

As he spoke, he also took out a post from Huang Binqing to Wang Chaoxian, which was very grand, which made Wang Chaoxian very proud.

"Uncle Su Jing is too polite, let's go."

"Master Taitai, please send someone to recruit all the officers at all levels under his command to this ship, and send them directly to the North Wharf where the uncle entertains guests. The rest of the soldiers under the Taitai Command will still be moored to the South Wharf under the guidance of Huang Guerrilla. There is a bigger place for mooring, and the barracks are ready."

Wang Chaoxian didn't think of anything else at all at this time, so he sent someone to summon the officers at all levels under his command with a smile, and then he took his boat and left the rear fleet under the guards of Zhu Jiu and Lu Wei. , to the North Pier.

"This Huang Binqing is quite polite. It seems that he doesn't like Chen Wu very much, and wants to join hands with someone to capture Eastern Zhejiang." Wang Chao first returned the hand on the boat and said proudly, "Ten thousand stones, grain and grass, this meeting gift Not bad."

Some people said, "Huang Binqing is fighting with Chen Wu for East Zhejiang, why should we help him?"

"It's not that Ge Laozi is helping Huang Binqing, it's just that Chen Wu is a bit ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, and dares to give orders to Ge Laozi to see how unhappy he is. If we listen to him and go to Cixi to fight King Lu, we will win it. This is a credit Most of it belongs to him, he won’t give us some points, and he will drive us to Lingnan if he can’t turn back, and won’t let us get involved at all.”

"It's better to cooperate with Huang Binqing, first steal Wang Zhiren's lair, grab Dinghai Ningbo, and then wait for Chen Wu and Wang Zhiren to finish fighting, we will go there, and then we can grab another one. When we have enough, let's take care of it." How can he, Chen Wu or Huang Binqing, fight for this Zhejiang province, and let us go directly to Guangdong and Guangxi, how free and easy will we be?"

"It's still the master of Taiwan who is brilliant!"

"Hahahaha!"

While he was enjoying himself, an officer suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the two boats next to them. They were getting closer and closer, and they were about to collide.

"what happened?"

Wang Chao first turned his head to look, but he happened to see several cannons set up on Zhu Jiu's boat, and they slammed towards their boat.

Flare spray.

Chao Xian's hairs stood up. He also fought against the Tartars in Liaodong, but he knew how powerful these cannons were. Although the cannons on this ship were not as big as those defending the city, if they got hit by a cannon, they would be scumbags. None left.

Almost subconsciously, Wang Chao first flew over the side of the ship.

"Damn it!"

The moment he fell into the sea, Wang Chaoxian almost completely understood that Huang Binqing, his mother, actually joined hands to copy Wang Zhiren's house first, and then deal with Chen Wu's banner, and actually attacked him first.

The entrance of sea water is very bitter.

Fortunately, Wang Chaoxian, the chieftain of Sichuan, was not a barbarian in the mountains. Besides, his family was originally on the bank of the Yangtze River. Sailor, his water skills are still very good.

Of course the Yangtze River is not as good as the sea, but he still quickly waved his arms and started paddling.

At this time, some people on his boat jumped into the water one after another.

There was a loud bang from behind.

His large ship was hit by several shots, the mast was broken, and the sail was smashed into a sieve. Many officers went to see the King of Hades in a daze, and many people were injured and screamed.

He swam vigorously.

At this time, there were still people on the boat continuing to jump down, and some personal soldiers actually untied a few boats and jumped into the sea, swimming towards him.

Trying to climb onto a small boat, Wang Chao looked back first, and saw that the two warships of General Huang Binqing had docked on board, and many Zhoushan soldiers were jumping onto his boat.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Wang Chaoxian sucked a piece of oar with a green face, and rowed towards Dinghai with his own soldiers, trying to escape from this tiger's mouth by taking advantage of the chaos.

He made no attempt to return to the ship, nor did he want to return to his fleet.

Since Huang Binqing dared to make a move, he must have been prepared. No matter which side is now, it is a death trap. Only by finding a way to escape from here can there be a chance of survival.

"Fuck me, let me escape, and I will never end with his mother's Hokkien in this life."

·····
Not far from Dinghai.

Zhang Guozhu successfully controlled Dinghai Counselor Wang Mingqian, sent troops to pretend to be Wang Mingqian's subordinates, and deceived Dinghai City.

After entering the city, more than three thousand rebels looted Dinghai City, and then engulfed the Dinghai camp, broke up and organized them into various camps. Zhang Guozhu changed his body and had five thousand soldiers.

After looting Dinghai, he was still not satisfied. After realizing that Ningbo was empty, he took Wang Mingqian and other Dinghai officers with him and went to Ningbo with them.

"Zhang Guozhu, I advise you to let me go quickly, or you will die when my father comes back."

Zhang Guozhu was still very polite to Wang Mingqian, and sent eight sturdy personal soldiers to protect him all the way, but did not tie him up.

"General Xiao Wang, your father is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself now. Chen Wu estimates that not only will your father be captured, but King Lu may also be captured."

"I advise you to think about it and surrender to me. I, Zhang Guozhu, have always been generous to my brothers. I eat meat and never let them drink soup. You surrendered to me, and you still won't lose the title of a battalion general."

Wang Mingqian regretted it very much, and lost Jingzhou in a moment of carelessness, how should he explain this to his father, and how should he explain it to Lu Jianguo?
"His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo, I will not let you go."

Zhang Guozhu didn't care.

"General Xiao Wang, you are familiar with Ningbo. Tell me, after the death of Xie Sanbin, the richest man in Ningbo, who is richer in Ningbo now? I have [-] soldiers and horses under my command. I will expand my army at least twice when I enter Ningbo. When there are tens of thousands of people, it is very expensive to raise soldiers and food, I have to ask them to borrow some money."

Wang Mingqian shut his mouth and refused to pay any attention to him.

"When we arrive at Yin City in a while, we have to ask General Xiao Wang to help open the city gate."

Wang Mingqian glared angrily.

But Zhang Guozhu laughed, "Since General Xiao Wang is unwilling, then we'll do it ourselves. Tell the outpost brothers to change to the banner of Dinghaiying."

"Dog thief, how dare you?"

"Hey, why don't you dare? What's wrong with this world? I'm just a warrior. There are so many emperors and supervisors in troubled times. I don't know who to listen to. But I know, no matter who I listen to, I still have to listen to it." If you have soldiers and horses in your hands, then every family will be polite and respectful."

"You see, Wu Sangui led the Guanning army to the Qing Dynasty, and he was immediately crowned king. And Kong Youde, who caused chaos in Denglai back then, fled to Liaodong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty after his defeat, so he was also crowned king. Besides, my old master Liu Zeqing It’s rather stupid, to surrender to Qing secretly early, and when the Qing army arrived, they actually took the initiative to hand over the military power, and now they have a good name and are raised in Beijing, but in fact they are a prisoner.”

"So, us warriors, no matter how the world changes, no matter what family or surname is sitting on the imperial chair, we must have soldiers in our hands, we must have territory, so that we will always have a place. Look at this Wang Zhiren Well, whether it’s Huang Binqing, Chen Wu or Chaoxian, isn’t it all like this, if you have soldiers, you can be the grass-headed king, and you can be the commander-in-chief or even the title of Bo and Marquis, how can Zhang Guozhu, my mother, be worse than them?”

"Isn't it just that they are worse than them, and they don't have a piece of land?"

"When I take down Ningbo, it doesn't matter which one of them wins, Chen Wu or Huang Binqing, they all have to come and win me over. At that time, I will have tens of thousands of swordsmen in my hands, occupying the two prefectures of Ning and Shao, even if it is Yiyang in Chongming. Wang, you have to be polite to me, when I ask him for an earl, won't he give it?"

Such rebellious words, Zhang Guozhu actually said it in public unscrupulously, those soldiers laughed, no one cared.

In fact, Wang Mingqian felt that although this statement was a bit bold, it seemed to be the case.

I only hate myself for being careless and not taking precautions.

I can only secretly hope that Lu Jianguo and his father will be prepared early and not be attacked by Chen Wu, and even more hope that they can come to rescue him sooner.

Ningbo, Yincheng.

After Qian Sule received the urgent report from Cixi sent by Lu Jianguo, he immediately summoned the recovery battalion officers and soldiers, put the whole city under martial law, and guarded the four gates.He also notified the gentry and common people in the city to help them defend the city.

The entire prefecture city is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and is on full alert.

He even sent people to Dinghai, Haimen, Shipu and other places to inform them to be careful.

"Duke Qian, Dinghaiying is here."

"Why is Dinghai camp here? Didn't they tell them to be careful? Dinghai is the water and land gateway of Ningbo, and they have to be wary of Huang Binqing from Zhoushan at any time. Why are they leaving Dinghai at this time? Isn't this playing the piano randomly, this little general Wang?"

After Qian Sule complained to the prefect Ge Shizhen, he felt that something was wrong.

"Although this little general Wang is young, he is also the son of Governor Wang's general. I heard that he has fought many battles with him. It is impossible for him to be so reckless."

Ge Shizhen also felt that it was true, "Could it be that Dinghai has fallen, and Wang Mingqian led his troops back to Ningbo?"

"It can't be so fast. Although there is only one battalion left after the reorganization of the Dinghai Battalion, it has been in operation for a long time after all."

"Look first before talking, keep the city gates tight, don't let them in easily."

under the city.

There are less than a thousand people coming under the banner of the Dinghai Association.

Far away, Wang Mingqian rode his horse and stood under the general's banner.

A Qingqi rushed to the bottom of the city and shouted to the city, asking to open the city gate and let them in.

"Wang Chaoxian and Huang Binqing raided Dinghai. We were caught off guard, so we had to temporarily abandon Dinghai and come here to break out of the siege. We hope to guard Ningbo with Qian Gong's recovery battalion to fend off bandit soldiers."

After all, Qian Sule was a civil servant. Although he was given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War to lead the recovery battalion, the army was inexperienced. Fortunately, he was cautious and did not make a big mistake, so he did not open the door to let people go easily, but asked to see Wang Mingqian first.

After a while, Wang Mingqian came to the city gate.

There were several servants behind him, and no one in the city could see a servant next to Wang Mingqian holding a short knife on Wang Mingqian's back.

"Speak well, otherwise white knives will go in and red and white ones will come out!"

Wang Mingqian looked at Qian Sule, Ge Shizhen and others on the top of the wall. These people, together with his father, supported the Lu Jian Kingdom not long ago.

Now, as long as he said a word, Zhang Dingguo would swindle Ningbo Fucheng to open it. Thinking of the looting that Dinghai City had just experienced, Wang Mingqian gritted his teeth.

Suddenly kicked the horse's belly fiercely, rushed forward, and shouted loudly towards the city while running, "Qian Shilang, Ge Zhifu, I am Dinghai Wang Mingqian."

"Don't open the door, Dinghai has already been attacked by Zhang Guozhu from the thieves Chen Wu, these soldiers are Zhang Guozhu's subordinates, don't open the door..."

Before he finished speaking, a rain of arrows came from behind.

Wang Mingqian was hit by several arrows, but fortunately he was wearing armor, which blocked many fatal injuries. Enduring the pain, he accelerated his horse and galloped around the city, continuing to shout while running.

Seeing this, Zhang Guozhu in the rear cursed angrily, "Are they all pigs? This can also make him run away. Chase me and shoot him to death. Damn it, spoil my good deeds."

"Beat the drum and blow the horn, attack the city immediately, and take Ningbo for me!"

Zhang Guozhu was furious, seeing that the incident was exposed, but he was unwilling to retreat, and wanted to take a gamble with red eyes, trying to take Ningbo City by force.

On the top of the wall, Qian Sule was first taken aback, then shocked.

"Quick, send someone out to meet General Xiao Wang."

"Qian Gong, no, if the city gate is robbed by thieves, I will regret it forever."

"You can't just ignore death."

"Let General Xiao Wang go around to the north wall, I'll command the archers to cover, and put a rope ladder to hang a team down to meet General Xiao Wang coming up!"

There is a battalion in Ningbo named Restoration.

This battalion was also known as the Gentlemen’s Camp, but it was different from the former Zhejiang governor’s standard camp in Ningbo. His battalion was called the Gentleman’s Camp mainly because more than half of the soldiers in the camp were at least children, and there were many scholars and gentlemen.

Most of these people are disciples and disciples of Qian Sule, Ge Shizhenlin, and others. They abandoned their pens and joined the army to join the military camp, aiming to restore the Ming Dynasty and serve the country.

Although young and passionate, he was not an elite veteran after all.

It's okay to defend the city, but if you want to go out of the city and fight Zhang Guozhu hard, no one has the confidence. If you take the opportunity to seize the city instead, you will regret it.

Wang Ming leaned on the horse's back, desperately urging the horse to run wildly, while bows and arrows whizzed wildly behind him.

He took off the bow and arrow, nocked the arrow and turned back with an arrow.

A chaotic soldier who rushed to the front fell off his horse.

Wang Mingqian took the arrow, looked back at the moon and shot another arrow, and shot down another person.

After shooting down the two of them one after another, the other party obviously had some scruples and slowed down his horse speed a little, not daring to charge any further. Wang Mingqian hurriedly continued to charge forward.

On the top of the city, many guards shouted at him, "Go north, go north, the north gate will meet you!"

Wang Mingqian was refreshed and urged the horse to charge north again.

At the south gate, Zhang Guozhu commanded his subordinates angrily, threw away Wang Mingqian's banner, blew the drums and horns, and launched a mad attack on Ningbo City!
