The Divine Emperor stayed in Fuzhou for only three days...

In fact, he came to add coal.

The Divine Emperor did not come specifically to inspect Fuzhou to supervise the frontline war. In the Qing army, the battle at Shanguan was almost shattered into a sea of ​​blood. It was almost as good as Stalingrad, but in this regard, the Ming army was just a partial division blocked. The fourth infantry brigade of the Second Army on the Ganjiang River was sweeping down in a mighty manner. The two armies in Hunan had already arrived in Xiangtan. Even the brigade of the Sixth Army had defeated the Mongolian cavalry in front of the attack in Toubi. Five thousand Mongolian cavalry against the five thousand Ming cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry failed again. On the way to retreat, they were followed by the Ming cavalry reconnaissance posts. Spencer's rifle had nearly twenty shots of rapid fire in one minute, which made the Mongolian cavalry flee back to Guangchang in a terrifying manner.

Compared with these, the brigade of Shanguan is not worth mentioning at all.

As for the God Emperor, he was just passing by and adding coal, and the huge fleet he carried...

This was the emperor's commander.

He set off on the morning of the fourth day and continued to sail north with four battleships, four battlecruisers, sixteen frigates and forty-two transport ships.

There are also two Marine brigades on the ship.

And the target of this Northern Expedition Army is of course Dagukou.

The Northern Expedition fleet, which the Divine Emperor personally commanded, carried out the last supply in Fuzhou. Driven by the southeast monsoon, it quickly crossed Zhoushan, which had become the British concession against the Chinese coastal current. With the chaos of the British army, it drove past their vision with a stunning power. On a British double-brid gunboat that was being watched in the distance, the captain wiped his head and sweated coldly on his head and ordered his return to Zhoushan as quickly as possible.

They were really frightened.

At this time, the deadline given by Yang Feng was actually exceeded, but the British government's reply had not yet been heard, and no British boats came. The British troops left in Zhoushan could only inquire about the news through some Dutch merchant ships, but the latter could not give them something really useful. The two thousand British troops and four gunboats in Zhoushan were completely abandoned, and they had even died more than 200 for various reasons. Moreover, the Tatars have not paid compensation to this day. They can only rely on the gold, silver and jewelry they had plundered before to make ends meet to make ends meet. By the way, the hope for this compensation is slim, and even the Tatar officials no longer mention this. After all, only two thousand British troops and four gunboats can no longer threaten Jiangning. By the way, even the four gunboats really fight and the newly formed Yangtze River Navy can crush it. If you give 20 million, you will be a fool.

Fortunately, the gentry knew that both sides had a common enemy, and the British army was very suitable for hiring to train in the group, so they didn't bully them much...

By the way, they have really fallen to the point where those gentry can bully them.

No need to do more.

As long as the gentry in eastern Zhejiang did not sell them food and meat, these guys would have to drive their four brig gunboats to the sea to catch fish. If they instigate the people of Zhoushan to launch an attack, then this less than two thousand British troops would not be enough to cause trouble.

Fortunately, they were very useful to the gentry. Both sides actually started to be kind to the Qing and Ying, and tacitly put the matter of 20 million aside. Not long ago, the gentry from east Zhejiang also gave them a plaque to show friendship. The plaque had four big characters "Zhu Xiaohuafeng". Hundreds of British troops were also scattered in various parts of Zhejiang to help them train foreign gun teams. It is obvious that the gentry from east Zhejiang had realized that the arrival of the British was not a bad thing. On the contrary, they got a much more reliable than the Qing Dynasty.

Although they were defeated by the Fenbians, they also defeated the Qing army after all, which means that their combat effectiveness was between the Fenbians and the Qing army, which was already reliable. What the British needed was tea, silk and porcelain, and they also needed to continue to sell ravens. Whether they were purchased or sold, they needed a collaborator. In Guangzhou, their collaborators were Thirteen, but here their collaborators were only gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This is a good thing!

What's more, the British can help them train troops and even make new arms.

The iron mill in Suzhou has begun to make brown bass under the guidance of the British. The peak cooperation between new technologies from the West and the Eastern craftsmanship has produced fully qualified products. The first Changsheng Army armed with Suzhou's brown bass has begun to practice queuing and shooting in Suzhou. The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has no hope for the Qing Dynasty. They are more willing to use mercenaries. Anyway, they have money, and even the commanders of this army are British...

Uh, not Gordon.

Gordon was still in elementary school at this time!

The British captain who returned to Zhoushan quickly reported to the acting governor Johnston, while Johnston notified Zhejiang Governor Wang Zhi as quickly as possible. Governor Wang knew that he had nothing to do. Since the bandit did not attack Zhoushan, he was not from Zhejiang, he quickly sent people to Suzhou to inform the governor of Jiangsu. Of course, their speed was not faster than Yang Feng. When Jiangsu Governor Sun Shanbao received the notice from Wang Zhi, he also received a report from Chongming defenders. The bandit navy crossed the long term.

As for their target, as long as they are not fools, they can guess it. They are nothing more than the Northern culprit Denglai or Dagukou. I don’t know why Sun Yuwen’s uncle felt extremely relaxed, but then he realized that this was not the mentality that a minister should have. In addition, he might also have trouble with his hometown Jining, while blaming himself, and quickly wrote a memorial to Daoguang, and sent someone to notify the new Liangjiang Governor Li Xingyuan.

But this makes no sense anymore.

Before Sun Shanbao's memorial was delivered to Daoguang, the Ming army fleet had already appeared in the vision of Yuming, the general of Dengzhou Town.

And General Jade is at the sea.

"Hurry up, run away, the bandit is here!"

Yuming, who had been in history for General Shengjing, looked at the horizon with a thousand-mile mirror, and looked at the chimney gradually clear under the strange demon fog, urging his soldiers like crazy. His soldiers drove the warship with thirty cannons under his feet. Driven by the southeast wind, he rushed to his own fleet at an astonishing speed of seven knots.

The latter also faced forward at full speed.

By the way, Yang Feng had disturbed Jiangyin, so Daoguang naturally knew that he could go to Dagukou, so he also formed a large-scale navy in Dengzhou.

And this navy is full of new ships.

These warships have reached the level of a sixth-level ship, with a total of twenty ships. Today, General Yu brought them out to perform, and even hired several British people as instructors. Daoguang still has to thank Lin Zexu for this. It was his memorial that Daoguang understood that he had to learn from foreigners in this war. I don’t know if it was good luck or bad luck. This fleet that was trained actually collided with the Ming fleet by chance. Of course, General Yu was absolutely unlucky, because he happened to leave the fleet and was ready to take a batch of goods himself. At this time, with the blockade of the Ming army, the British Crow Pian trade had been transferred to the Dutch, and part of the latter was transported to the island and sent directly to Denglai. This was General Yu’s main financial route. However, as soon as he left the fleet, he discovered the Ming fleet. That’s really...

What a bad luck!

General Yu looked at the increasingly clear and clear giant ships behind him, constantly urging the sailors, but it was obvious that their speed was still too slow. Just when he was about a mile away from his fleet, the firelight shone at the heads of the five warships in the Ming fleet behind that seemed to cover the sea surface.

"My, there are two miles left!"

General Yu cursed in grief and anger.

Just as he cursed, a series of harsh whistlings shocked his eardrums. At the same time, he felt his feet tremble. Before he could see clearly what was going on, his feet were like a volcano erupting, and the entire deck was sprayed upwards in fragments, and his body was thrown up by a huge force. The next moment he saw the redness under his feet, and then...

Nothing happens.

A 90-pound flowering bullet hit the cabin of the 400-ton boat, and at the same time it exploded, it detonated the powder barrel, and then the entire ship was blown to pieces.

"Everyone, our end is here!"

On a similar warship a mile away, a British instructor smiled and said to the officers and soldiers of the Qing army navy who were dissatisfied.

"We have nineteen warships, warships!"

His recent deputy general said tremblingly.

"Then General, please tell me how many of them have? Also, please tell me, can our warship block a shell like the same as before? Also, please tell me, how does the sixth-class frigate fight against the same level battleship? Ah, I shouldn't ask this question, you don't know what a sixth-class ship is and what a first-class battleship is."

The instructor said with a smile.

The deputy general continued to shiver there.

At this time, the eight main battleships of the Ming Fleet had crossed the hull in the distance and then showed the side guns. Except for Ding Zhenwei, the other five new warships also completed the steering of the two six-inch cannons in front and back, and the black hole guns aimed at the already chaotic Qing warships.

"General, did you choose to fight?"

The instructor asked with a confident smile.

He knew very well that these Tatar generals had absolutely no courage to fight, and as long as they surrendered, he naturally would not have to die.

However……

The deputy general shivered, suddenly screamed, picked up the floating ring beside him, jumped into the sea without hesitation, and then as if he had received an order, the Qing army officers and sailors were fighting to seize everything that could help float and jumped into the sea one after another. The same scene also spread to other warships. Before the Ming army could fire, all the officers and soldiers on the 19 warships had already jumped into the sea like dumplings, and then swam desperately towards Changshan Island, which was actually only five or six miles away.

The instructor was stunned.

"They don't even have the courage to surrender?"

He looked at this scene and said to himself in grief.
Chapter completed!
