Chapter 193
"Oh." Dong Xiaowan obviously didn't understand the reason behind this, and there was still a trace of confusion on his face.

"General. Oh! I didn't see anything." A figure suddenly rushed out, but seeing the two cuddling together, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and was about to retreat.

"Okay." Li Xin glanced at the visitor, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Yu, do you have information?" This kind of thing will be seen when you see it. In future generations, kissing in the street is nothing, let alone Hugging, only in this era, will be so nervous.

"Sister Xiao." The same was true for Dong Xiaowan, her face flushed with embarrassment, she quickly left Li Xin's arms, hid aside, and saluted Xiao Yu.There was still a hint of shyness on his face.

"Ah! Don't dare to be a gift to my younger sister." Xiao Yu finally came to his senses, only to see that her face was flushed, but her eyes were watery, which was heart-pounding.Even Li Xin had to admit that this person was beautiful, if this Dong Xiaowan was a young apple, this Xiao Yu was a ripe peach, one couldn't resist picking her.

"But there is information coming." Li Xin barely suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked after taking a breath.

"Yes. The latest news from the imperial court." Xiao Yu glanced at Li Xin with resentful eyes, and finally passed the sorted information to Li Xin.Seeing this, Dong Xiaowan quickly retreated, she is a smart person, she knows what she should know and what she should not know.Although she was also suspicious of the relationship between Li Xin and Xiao Yu, Mrs. Dong was different. Li Xin's official position was too high now, and he had hundreds of thousands of people under him. What did a few more women count?

"Shandong strategy? Disaster relief according to the order! Chongzhen has a good plan." Li Xin glanced at the information in his hand, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he put the information aside, and said: "If you want to be good for the horse, you can't do it again." I don’t want him to eat grass, and I don’t think about it until I need it. Seeing that I have food in my hand, I can’t wait to come out to take advantage of it.”

"I'm afraid there is no one available in the imperial court, so I can only think of the general." Xiao Yu smiled.With the identity of Shandong Economic Strategy, Li Xin has the name to act in Shandong.It is more convenient to rescue the people of the Xiao family.

"Shandong Jinglue, Shandong Jinglue without soldiers in his hands is really interesting. Chongzhen thinks who I am." Li Xin shook his head and said.He knows how capable he is, if he has no soldiers in his hand, he is nothing.

"Then what is the general going to do?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Although the general has a prairie army in hand, my concubine thinks that the name of the general is not prominent in the Central Plains. If the general can manage Shandong, he will not be able to get Shandong , but enough for everyone in the Central Plains to remember the name of the general.”

"What's the situation in Shandong now? Dengzhou has fallen?" Li Xin was silent for a while before Fang asked.

"Dengzhou has already fallen. It is ridiculous that the imperial court concentrated tens of thousands of troops from Shandong, Baoding, and Tianjin towns in Denglai to fight in the field. As a result, they were defeated in the First World War and almost formed a second Saarhu. Only a few defeated troops returned to Laizhou Hundreds of people, Xu Congzhi, the current governor of Shandong, and Zhu Wannian, the magistrate of Laizhou, gathered thousands of troops to barely defend Laizhou, but Laizhou is also in danger." Xiao Yu shook his head and said.

"Denglai, Sun Yuanhua has been operating here for a long time, and there are always soldiers and horses. It's just that these idiots don't know how to use them." Li Xin shook his head and said, "What decision does the imperial court have on this matter?"

"The imperial court has ordered more than [-] troops led by Liu Yulie, the servant of the Ministry of War, and Wu Anbang, the general of Ninghai, to rescue Denglai, but I am afraid that these people cannot be commanded by generals." Xiao Yu is very proficient in information, and the information comes out just by opening her mouth, which shows that she is familiar with the situation in Shandong. and mastery.

"Hmph, I'm afraid these people want me to die? How can they be used by me?" Li Xin shook his head disdainfully.In the final analysis, Li Xin did not trust these people.

"General, there is a ship coming from the opposite side, it is the navy of the imperial court." At this moment, a signal came from a distance, and then Gu Sanmazi's ship approached Li Xin's giant ship.

"How could there be a navy from the imperial court here?" Li Xin looked solemnly, and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a group of black shadows approaching slowly in the distance. .

"Gu Sanmazi, can you see how many giant ships the opponent has?" Xiao Yu also asked nervously.After all, it was at sea, not on the road, and the information Xiao Yu grasped was not as convenient and comprehensive as before.

"General, we may not be able to defeat him this time." Gu Sanmazi said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "In front of the opponent is a three-masted gunboat, behind is a blessing boat, and a centipede boat, There are even Haicang boats, etc. Although we have blessing boats and even some centipede boats, they are not as big as the other party, and our big boats are only two-masted gunboats, so we are really no match for him in a fight."

Li Xin was silent for a while when he heard the words. These days he followed Gu Sanmazi, and he also learned about some equipment of the imperial navy. The imperial navy actually had more than 20 kinds of warships. Now at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most equipped is the blessing boat. .Large, tall, pointed at the bottom, head up and tail up, tree two masts, three-story cabin, the deck is as high as a city, and there are guard boards beside it.Soldiers cover behind and shoot arrows at enemy ships, throw fireballs, fire bricks, and fire barrels.And hit the Japanese ship with the wind and the water.The bow of the ship is equipped with one Hongyi cannon, six Qianjin Flang machine, three bowl-mouth guns, twenty Thunder cannons, sixty spray tubes, ten Lumi guns, five hundred crossbow arrows, and ten gunpowder crossbows. There are 100 rockets, 64 yuan for fire bricks, and thousands of cold weapons.There are 55 crew members, 300 sailors, [-] soldiers, and five armors.The first is the Furang Mecha, which operates the ship's first gun and the Frangler, and throws fireballs and fire bricks near the enemy; the second is the Shotgun Armor, which specializes in shooting shotguns; The five armors are fire crossbow armors, which specialize in shooting rockets.Because it was born in the coastal area of ​​Fujian, it is called Fuchuan.In addition to the blessing boat, there is also the centipede boat, which is imitated by the Portuguese multi-oar boat, with a sharp bottom and wide, fast sailing, and it is also feasible against the wind, and it is not afraid of wind and waves.There are thousands of catties of Flang machine naval guns and fireballs and rockets.Of course the most powerful is the three-masted gunboat.If Fuchuan is uniformly equipped, then the three-masted gunboat is the terminal weapon.It is also the main battleship of the Navy. It is tall, with its head up and its tail up. It sails quickly and is not afraid of wind and waves.The tree has three masts, the main mast is four feet high, the captain is twenty feet long, and the cabin has five floors. The deck of the ship is as high as a city, and can accommodate [-] people.

"It's Liaodong Navy." Li Xin said softly.It turned out that at this time, I saw a handsome man on the opposite side, with the words "Sun of Liaodong Guerrilla General" written on it.Obviously this navy is from Liaodong.

"It should be Sun Yinglong, a general under Huanglong, the chief soldier of Phi Island in Dongjiang Town." Xiao Yu showed a trace of panic on his face.Huanglong's general soldiers are stationed in Pidao. Although they seem to be subordinate to Liaodong, in fact, they are under the orders of the imperial court.

"Forget it, get ready to fight!" Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Although our ships are not as good as the opponent's, it is impossible for the opponent to kill us." Although facing a disadvantage, how could Li Xin be afraid? Without hesitation, he ordered Gu Sanmazi to prepare for battle.

"General, the ship opposite is the ship of General Li Xin we are looking for?" On the three-masted gunboat opposite, two young lieutenants looked at nearly a thousand giant ships docked on the sea.A man with a ferocious face said to the general dressed on one side.I saw the general holding a binocular in his hand, looking at Li Xin and the others.

"Sun Er, are you correct in saying that the commander-in-chief told us to obey Li Xin's orders?" The general put down the binoculars in his hand and said, "Sure enough, he is a heroic figure, extraordinary. I, Sun Yinglong, saw it today." The two people were exactly Sun Yinglong who was ordered by Huanglong, the general of Pidao, to come to Shandong to help.

"No matter what about Li Xin? Sun Er admires him for his spirit of entering the Central Plains single-handedly. General, what do you think?" Sun Er stretched out his thumb and said.

"That's right! Li Xin is now appointed by the imperial court as the Shandong manager. Tsk tsk, there are tens of thousands of people in Shandong to deal with a rebel, but in the end they want us to help. He is really useless." Sun Yinglong nodded and said: "It's ridiculous. That Zhou Yanru suffered a lot this time, I'm afraid he never thought that the emperor would make such an arrangement."

"Our Phi Island is close to Liaodong. If we kill Li Xin, Li Xin's subordinates will not come to Liaodong. We don't know how we died." Sun Er said coldly.

"Send a signal!" Sun Yinglong shook his head and said, "It's natural for our Shandong manager to be so majestic. Look, there are nearly a thousand large ships in front and behind, most of which are loaded with grain and grass, but there are also hundreds of sailors. Look at these sailors. The appearance of his actions, I am afraid that he is also a sailor who has been fighting for a long time. This strategist can bring back a sailor after a trip from the south of the Yangtze River. Such a person is not easy."

"Look, they stopped. It's a battle formation." Sun Er suddenly pointed to the fleet in the distance.However, the fleet in the distance was slowly changing formation, forming an attacking formation.

"Let's show the banner! To avoid misunderstanding." Sun Yinglong waved his hand quickly, but Sun Er didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly ordered someone to show the banner.

"General, the opponent has played a banner. It's a friendly army." Seeing the banner that the opponent played, Gu Sanmazi suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Hmph, the other party is officers and soldiers, and you are bandits. Be careful that the other party is here to confuse you. When you get close, it's your time of death." At this time, Zhang Cai, who heard the news, couldn't help but reminded when he saw the situation.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sanmazi next to him showed a nervous look, and it was not uncommon for this to happen.Zhou Chuyun was even more prepared to let others strike first.But it was stopped by Li Xin.

"Brother Gu, can we defeat each other?" Li Xin said looking at Gu Sanmazi.

Gu Sanmazi shook his head and said: "We have few ships, few people, and our firearms are not as good as the opponent's. I heard that most of the court's navy are firearms. Once they come into contact, they will be wiped out by the opponent's firearms. But we are mostly bows and arrows, aren't we?" The opponent's opponent." This Gu Sanmazi is indeed a person who has fought against the navy of the Ming army.In fact, on land, the Ming army did not have many firearms and equipment, but in the navy, these soldiers had a lot of firearms and equipment.Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, put forward at the right time that "Naval battles are nothing more than defeating small boats with big ships, and defeating small guns with large guns; defeating few ships with many boats, and defeating few guns with many guns." All personnel used firearms, and by the Wanli period, the proportion reached 99%.Now at the end of the Ming Dynasty, among the navy, the equipment is still relatively good.The navy of the imperial court is not something that Gu Sanmazi can resist.
