Beiyang new warlord

"My father-in-law is polite, my father-in-law never gets tired of it, what's the point of calling me an official Sangui, a mere commander-in-chief?"

The boss was smiling, pinching his beardless chin, his eyes a little bit like goldfish eyes, and Chen Zanzhong, who opened the car curtain, the eunuch spoke sarcastically.

"It's still Sangui's duty! Loyalty to duty, it's not like some people have a little credit and go to the sky. If the world is full of soldiers like Wu Zongbing, how can the emperor be as sad as you are now? Mr. Chen asks you Say yes?"

With an ugly smile on his face, Chen Zanzhong stroked his beard and nodded with difficulty.

"Old"

Just as the words came out, suddenly, a landslide and tsunami-like shock spread over the sky, the crackling sound was accompanied by the sound of water, just like Nezha making trouble in the sea, this loud noise made Wang Gonggong, who was still laughing just now, immediately nervous With a shiver, he asked eagerly.

"Mr. Wu, what happened?"

"The last general doesn't know! The last general welcomes everyone into the city first, and then goes to find out and report, how about it?"

His complexion also changed in an instant, Wu Sangui said gloomyly.

"So good! So good!"

The two big men who had been extraordinarily handsome just now were both pale, and their heads almost fell off.

Chapter 382. Are you going to rebel?

After all, Ningyuan City had withstood Nurhachi's full attack and retreated into the city. Both Chen Zanzhong and Wang Jiyan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but they put down their guards of honor, and they followed Wu Sangui up the city wall eagerly, looking around In the past, the three couldn't help but gasp.

Slowly like a forest, the overwhelming fleet is so shocking at any time, not to mention that there are black muzzles facing him, the tall sails are more than ten meters high, and the dense sail shadows are like a forest of white feathers, blue and black. The hulls of the boats were one after the other, almost filling the sea outside Ningyuan City. While watching in a daze, another round of shelling was sprayed out overwhelmingly.

There is really an overwhelming momentum, more than 100 battleships, more than 500 large and small naval guns fired together, and the crackling shells exploded into the sea like rain, setting off water columns that soared into the sky, and the sea people in the sea were unlucky. In the water stirred up by the artillery fire, fish and shrimp splashed to the beach on the shore. If this was the past, the poor and frightened sergeants would be ecstatic, but at this time, even the most capable troops in Liao Town guarding Ningyuan are all Heart beating, sweat on head.

Even if they were desperate with Jiannu, they dared to muster up the courage to fight one or two, but they felt too powerless to fight such a huge monster.

Even Wu Sangui was stunned. After a while, he looked through the long-barreled binoculars, and then he shouted angrily.

"Hanging the Mao character flag, this is a ship from the Dongjiang River, his mother Mao Jue, what does he want to do?"

Looking at the overwhelming fleet and looking at each other, both Chen Zanzhong and Wang Jiyan felt their hearts skip a beat.

Everyone knows that the secrecy of the imperial court is not as good as fetching water with a sieve. Chen Zanzhong even wrote to Mao Jue himself to warn him about this. Maybe he knew that the emperor would send a censor to investigate him. Going against it endlessly?

This is really not impossible. There have been too many mutinies these years. There was a major mutiny in Ningxia a while ago, and the governor was killed by hungry soldiers. However, Dongjiang is different from Ningxia. Mao Jue's army is a ruthless character who just wrestled with Jiannu. If he reverses, Guan Ningjin's defense line may collapse!

In particular, it was the first time I saw a fleet of this size in the Dongjiang River! Such a large-scale artillery fire! Although Jiannu was a great threat, the Qing people were not good at water warfare, and the Qing army could only go on three sides when entering the customs. Breaking through the layers of military fortresses, and going deep into the inland is also limited.

But if Mao Jue really turned against him, his fleet would go south and approach Tianjin Wei, and within a few hours of going ashore, he would be able to reach the capital city!

Moreover, in this era of indifferent national concepts, if Mao Jue was determined to practice with Jianzhou Jurchen, attacking from south to north, relying on Dongjiang's cannon, the capital may not be able to resist it!

For a moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, and this Eunuch Wang was the first to scream.

"Wu Zongbing, immediately send someone to contact Dongjiang and let him Mao Dongjiang come to see me!"

But as soon as the words fell, the third round of shelling began again. This time, the artillery fire extended a lot closer to the shore, and some shells even hit the beach directly. The beating was torn apart, and the fragments were scattered everywhere. The generals of the Ningyuan Water Camp, Mr. Qian, wanted to put their heads in their crotches, and go out at this time?Are you courting death?

Seeing the expressions on his subordinates, Wu Sangui, who was full of shock, had no choice but to grieve.

Mao Jue came here to show off his wealth. For this gunpowder, the spent gunpowder and bullets cost a few silver coins. It took a long time to fight for more than 1 guns. There are more than one hundred thousand taels, and the entire Ningyuan tidal flat is also covered with large and small shot balls and iron balls.

The shelling just stopped in the afternoon, but even so, no Ming army dared to go to sea. In the end, Dongjiang himself sent a small boat to the shore.

"Brother Mao Jue, invite elder brother Wu Sangui to have a talk at sea."

Looking at the letter, Wu Sangui's complexion changed from cloudy to clear, and he looked at Wang Jiyan hesitantly. The eunuch lost the prestige of a ceremonial supervisor, and turned his attention to Chen Zanzhong again. With a sad old face, the dead eunuch asked cautiously.

"Master Chen! Mao Dongjiang still respects you as an uncle!"

"Shouldn't kill our family!"

To be honest, Wang Jiyan didn't want to go at all. Although the eunuch was domineering and domineering, he was also hated by others. If Mao Jue decided to rebel, he would just kill him to sacrifice the flag, and it would even boost the morale of the generals.

But he wouldn’t dare if he didn’t go! If he wanted to return to the capital in such a dismal manner, he would have to be as cheap as an ass. The imperial censor impeached him because he was harsh and meritorious. The first cut off his head.

But Chen Zanzhong couldn't help hesitating when he heard this.

If other generals were to marry his scholarly family, the Yushi family, he would probably have to fawn on him, the old man, to heaven, but Mao Jue?

The first time we met, I almost killed his future father-in-law's family! Afterwards, every time Mao Jue acted, could it be that he never followed the rules and scared the old guy every time? Chen Zanzhong admired Shen Guangzuo and dared to move to Dongjiang , not afraid of a heart attack.

I heard that the relationship between him and Chen Jiao has warmed up a little recently. If his old father-in-law goes, he will not worry about his life, but Chen Zanzhong dare not guarantee whether Mao Jue will kill Wang Jiyan or not.

"Should, probably not!"

It’s really called bullying and fearing hard. When I came here, I planned to take Mao Jue down directly on the way, and lock the capital to question him! But this time Mao Jue really reversed, and his little thoughts seemed to fall into the Pacific Ocean. His old face was aggrieved He was about to cry, and after a long time, the eunuch Wang gritted his teeth severely.

"Mr. Wu, order your own soldiers, and go meet this Mao Dongjiang for a while. If our family doesn't believe it, don't believe it. If you don't believe the emperor's grace, you won't be able to move this Lord Mao!"

A Cangshan boat took fifty Wu Sangui's personal soldiers and more than a dozen Jinyiwei, followed the Dongjiang boat, and sailed towards the sea.

In front of the huge warship that is more than ten meters away, the twenty-meter-long Ningyuan warship is like a toy. It walks among these giant ships, and it is even more awe-inspiring to watch it at such a close distance, bypassing the gap between the vanguard fleet , the boat finally stopped in front of a black shiny giant ship.

A few wooden ladders were set up from above to the deck of the Cangshan ship below. Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry soldiers climbed up first, and Wang Jiyan and Chen Zanzhong were relieved to see it.

Someone pushed their butts from behind, and then the two big men climbed onto the deck of the black battleship, but before they could catch their breath, they heard a click, and their calves went limp from fright.

They were just in time for the execution, the big blade was raised high, and it fell down fiercely, and a row of round heads flew out with the little braid dragging it. The bloody smell was so strong that it made people sick, and when they were startled, Wu Sangui slammed it Pulling out the knife, he asked sharply.

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Kill the Tartars!"

These are all people whose hands were stained with the blood of Dongjiang people. They were picked out and fought head-on. If you killed my people, it was their own master. Dongjiang still has this kind of magnanimity. No wonder the embroidery army, but you Dare to torture and kill my Dadongjiang prisoners of war?Then you don't even want to live! The blood feuds that were picked out were not redeemed by Huang Taiji, they were executed in batches, and now these are the last batches.

Before they died, the lives of these guys played a role for Dongjiang.

Picking up a money pigtail, with blood still dripping down, Kong Youde grinned a sarcasm full of sarcasm, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I know that you in Liao Town don't even dare to kill chickens, so I will do it myself, and I don't need you!"

While speaking, while the teeth of the two civil servants were chattering, he threw his head casually, and threw it into the sea with a bang.

"General Kong, don't be rude!"

It can be regarded as a bit of liberation, during the light reprimand, a female general who is slightly short in stature, but also dressed in a heroic figure walked over with a slightly weird accent, Kong Youde poked his head over boredly, and cursed at his subordinates, posing the size of a cattail fan. slap.

"Throw them all into the sea, wash the deck clean! Maybe we will have to sacrifice the flag tomorrow!"

The female general gave Wu Sangui a hug.
