Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 739 Sino-Dutch naval battle (7)

"My ministers see Your Majesty." As soon as they met, He Zhaoxiong first gave Zhu Yousong a bow and bow to the emperor and his ministers.

Zhu Yousong knew that this was a feature of feudal society, and it was also a feature of the emperor's belt, not to mention the emperor's father-in-law, even the emperor's own father and second uncle had to kneel down when they met.

Zhu Yousong quickly helped him up and asked him what happened to him?
"Your Majesty, let me listen to the detailed performance..."

He Zhaoxiong said that the Sino-Dutch naval battle has been going on up to now, and the Dutch red-haired men have gained the upper hand, and the Daming Navy has suffered heavy casualties, whether it is the Quanzhou naval battle or the Kinmen Island naval battle. If it continues like this, the Daming Navy has no chance of winning. Request the dispatch of his third navy.

Zhu Yousong's battle against the Dutch colonists was the battle to regain Taiwan, divided into three groups, and the third group was the troops of the iron-armed Canglong He Zhaoxiong.

According to Zhu Yousong's will, He Zhaoxiong led 5000 naval divisions mainly to be responsible for logistics supplies, and to transport 5 troops to the island to fight.Of course, we have to wait until the two navy forces have defeated the Dutch fleet before we can talk about landing on the island.

In fact, He Zhaoxiong was not very satisfied with Zhu Yousong's division of troops this time. He was the commander of the navy, but he didn't give up command in the fierce battle. Instead, he gave it to several young people, Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang, Yao Qisheng, Liu Guoxuan, these Can young people in their 20s get things done?He was really skeptical.

However, he also knew that His Majesty felt sorry for him as an old father-in-law, and it was also because he was a few years old and had just recovered from his injuries, so he was not allowed to command the front line in battle. He had an opinion, and Zhu Yousong even asked He Xuanjiao to do his work in private.

But he doesn't accept the old at all. Could it be that he is not as good as two young people in their 20s?Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang, the two of them know how to fight?Is it competent to command naval operations?
But he thought so in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it, and he was too embarrassed to say it.He held back his energy secretly, that is, he waited for the time when the two groups of people could not win, and then he asked for orders to fight again to show that his sword is not old.

Now he feels that the time has come, because he is always paying attention to the situation of the Quanzhou naval battle and the Kinmen Island naval battle.Someone once reported to him that the Dutch Fleet was very powerful, and the Ming Fleet couldn't get any bargain at all, and was beaten back steadily, with heavy casualties.

Therefore, the old man is not calm anymore, he is now here to ask His Majesty to take the initiative.He wants to lead the fleet to set off in person, and meet the world-class powerful fleet for a while.

Zhu Yousong laughed after hearing He Zhaoxiong's words, "Don't be impatient, old love. The war is the result, not the process, let alone the beginning. Now this naval battle has just begun, and the good show is yet to come."

He Zhaoxiong didn't expect his Majesty to be so calm. Does he understand the situation of the naval battle?Both battlefields showed defeat, so what can be done to reverse the result?When His Majesty got the news, he should have been furious and went out in person, or realized that he had used his troops improperly, and ordered him, the iron-armed Canglong He Zhaoxiong's third navy, to directly dispatch to reverse the situation.

But he is still so calm and confident, isn't this arrogant?Could it be that His Majesty has to rush to take measures only when the defeat has been decided and the situation is completely irreversible? Isn't this not His Majesty's personality at all?

Seeing He Zhaoxiong's expressionless face, Zhu Yousong laughed again and said: "Old Aiqing, I have long heard that the ability of Qing's family in the water is like a black dragon, come here, I am happy today, Laoqing's family will accompany me How about some gestures in the water?"

This time He Zhaoxiong was even more unhappy. The battle ahead was so tense, His Majesty ignored him, and was still here touring the mountains and playing with women. Could it be that His Majesty has changed and started to become dizzy?
This terrible idea passed in a flash, Zhu Yousong's words were the imperial decree, even though he had thoughts and was a little unhappy, he did not dare to resist the decree, not to mention that the emperor was his son-in-law, so he hesitated a little, and quickly saluted: "ah ...The old minister respects the decree."

Someone brought him back the navy uniform, the old man removed the armor and put on the navy uniform, "Please, Your Majesty."

"Old Aiqing, bring your water-splitting knife. I want to compete with Lao Qing's family in the water. Lao Qing's family must do their best, otherwise they will be deceiving the emperor." Zhu Yousong said Xiao Liu He took the sword in his hand.

In fact, He Zhaoxiong understood that His Majesty wanted to compete with him in the water, and he could not use false strength.The reason why he didn't take the knife is because of two reasons. One is that he is not in the mood now, which is completely perfunctory.The second is that he thinks that there is no need to hold a weapon in a competition with His Majesty. It's not that he doesn't dare, but he thinks he disdains it.

He is known as the Iron-armed Canglong, who can surpass him in ability in the water?His daughter He Xuanjiao's ability was completely taught by him, and His Majesty's ability in the water was also taught by her daughter.From this aspect, he can be Zhu Yousong's master.

But seeing that His Majesty is so serious, it's not easy to spoil his interest, so he had to bring the water-splitting electric light knife.

Just when he was about to go into the water, Zhu Yousong stopped him again, "Wait a minute, old Aiqing, I see that you are exhausted all the way, so you should take a rest."

He Zhaoxiong was taken aback, wondering what His Majesty meant?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion. I am not tired." He Zhaoxiong wanted to quickly dismiss His Majesty, and then return to the former enemy.That means I'm gesticulating with you in the water, do I still need to rest?Three times and five times to get rid of second-hand things.The naval battle is in full swing, and I have to rush to the front enemy, how can I have time to play here with you?
"The Qing family is not tired, and their spirits are not very good. They are probably still worried about the naval battle. In this case, you might as well wait for a while and try again. When the victory of the naval battle comes, old Ai Qing will be able to follow you without any worries. I have competed in martial arts, come and give the old man a seat."

The great eunuch Li Guofu agreed, and hurriedly moved a grand master's chair himself, and said respectfully: "My lord, please sit down. Be safe and don't be impatient. Your Majesty uses troops like a god. There has never been a mistake in the planning. The navy of the Celestial Dynasty They will definitely be able to defeat those red-haired thieves.”

Li Guofu said so, and his heart was the same as that of the generals present. He had no idea whether the Daming Navy could win this battle. After all, it was the world's first-class naval fleet!

When He Zhaoxiong heard this, he gave him a hard look. What he said in his heart, what harmed the country and the people was all your slander, which caused His Majesty to be playful and arrogant.
So He Zhaoxiong took a breath and sat down. At this time, He Xuanjiao arrived. Seeing that his father was coming here, He Zhaoxiong hurriedly greeted his wife. He Xuanjiao stopped him and gave his father a blessing, but was stopped by the old man again.

The tossing between father and daughter made Xiao Liu beside him giggle.

Just at this moment, a fast horse galloped up, and a Jinyiwei on the horse showed his waist badge, and the imperial guards gave way one after another. The Jinyiwei trotted to a place far away from Zhu Yousong, and knelt down on the ground , "Qizou Your Majesty, our navy has won the Kinmen Sea Battle, and General Zheng Chenggong is commanding the navy to hunt down and wipe out the remnants of the red-haired thieves."

Iron-armed Canglong He Zhaoxiong was stunned when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it, but how did the battlefield change so quickly? Is it true or not? Jin Yiwei didn't make a mistake, right?

All the male and female generals present, as well as the eunuchs and court ladies were also taken aback. They cheered when they saw Zhu Yousong smiling happily...
