Chapter 315 Support Li Zicheng
"How is my father now?" Ella asked.
"It's okay, it's rare that he meets a decent opponent in the southeastern waters. We also have a fleet that he commands, which just gives him room to play." Chu Yun mentioned Nelson.
"My father used to be like this in another world. He took at least several months to go on a war. He often took risks. He was afraid that something would happen one day." Ella said.
"Being a job in the army means tying your life on your belt, wandering around the gates of hell at any time, and dealing with the ghost staff. However, before leaving, I warned Nelson not to let the Victory rush forward often," Chu Yun said.
Nelson was indeed a good general. In another world, he once led the British Navy to fight fiercely in the Mediterranean and the French Navy and was shot and killed. Even if he was summoned, these people still retained their former temperament.
"From what I know about my father, he will still lead by example and use the Victory, the most numerous artillery numbers, as the pioneer of the fleet." Ella is still a little worried.
"Don't worry, the warship that can pose a threat to the Victory on the southeast coast does not exist. Speaking of which, in addition to the intelligence team established to deal with pirates, there are also the Mongolian intelligence team and the Daming intelligence team. Aren't they trying to support Li Zicheng? What's wrong with the rebels in northern Shaanxi now?" Chu Yun thought of Li Zicheng and others who were still working hard in northern Shaanxi at this time.
"The peasant army in northern Shaanxi has been in great momentum in recent months, gathering tens of thousands of people to uprising in northern Shaanxi, conquering cities such as Hancheng, and distributing food and grass, causing a sensation in the court. Now the Ming Dynasty court has sent Hong Chengchou as the governor of the three sides, leading 7,000 officers and soldiers to wipe out the riots in northern Shaanxi," said Aila.
"Hong Chengchou is also considered the number one figure. The life of the peasant army in Shaanxi should be difficult." Chu Yun said.
This guy and Sun Chuanting two cruel men seem to have almost wiped out Li Zicheng?
"You are not wrong. After Hong Chengchou led his army to Shaanxi, his peasant army was defeated one by one. For example, Wang Zuogui and other rebel leaders were defeated and killed. The various rebel armies were scattered. Even the rebel king Gao Yingxiang almost wanted to wander to Shanxi and other places to avoid the attack on the vanguard." Ella said.
Chu Yunla had a calm face. He thought that after aiding the rebels in northern Shaanxi, they could restrain the imperial army, and it would be better to capture the capital, completely destroy the Ming system, and take the blame for destroying the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they were still so useless. Hong Chengchou used 7,000 people to beat them, and they all left northern Shaanxi and ran to Shanxi. Then wouldn't he invested in the rebels and be wasted the old muskets?
"Puchi, your expression is so funny." Ella saw Chu Yun pulling a stinky face, as if someone owed him millions.
"We clearly dealt with the thousand flintlock fire guns we eliminated to Li Zicheng at a relatively low price. Logically speaking, it should be a strong army that governs the territory. There is no reason to fail so thoroughly."
Chu Yun said in disbelief.
"I haven't finished it yet. Dozens of peasant armies of all sizes were defeated by Hong Chengchou. Only one peasant army curbed Hong Chengchou's offensive momentum. This army is Li Zicheng, who we support. Now Li Zicheng has become famous in one battle and is called "the generals" by many peasant armies. It is the limelight. The troops have expanded from about one thousand to three thousand, and the demand for muskets and ammunition is increasing. He also asked our merchants privately whether they could get bronze cannons." Ella said.
"Okay, Li Zicheng is indeed agile and did not disappoint me! Even the bronze cannon was going to be done, which shows that his vision was still good. If possible, we would sell them the bronze cannons that were piled up in the warehouse and were eliminated by us. It just so happened that our infantry would be equipped with the Dresse rifle, and the previous 1777 flintlock rifle could also be sold for them." Chu Yun said.
"Will we raise tigers to cause trouble when we do this? Although these firearms are behind us, they still surpass the level of this era. If Li Zicheng had these firearms, they might pose a huge threat to us in the future." Ella said, "It's better to directly use our army to conquer Shanhaiguan and overthrow the Ming Dynasty court."
"In the Ming Dynasty, the influence of orthodox is very strong. It is not difficult to destroy the Ming army. It is difficult to stabilize the people's hearts and block the world's long-lasting words. Just leave this kind of thing to the peasant army." Chu Yun said, "Besides, even if you have these weapons, Li Zicheng cannot pose any threat to us. Only in Liaonan, we have factories and technology, and ammunition is also provided by us. It will take several years for them to imitate. By that time, the weapons we have will be stronger than now, at least one generation."
"Since the adult has already thought about it, I will support your decision unconditionally." Ella blinked.
"But even so, the progress of the peasant rebel army is too slow. We have to find a way to support them and let them fight to the capital as soon as possible. Come on, but like this..." Chu Yun said his plan to further support Li Zicheng and the others.
Ella became more and more surprised: "Can you do this?"
"The soldiers are never tired of cheating, so you have to find a way to send them to the capital as soon as possible." Chu Yun said, "Okay, that's all about the matter of the northern Shaanxi peasant army. This time I brought Zheng Zhilong from Yizhou. Where is his wife and son now?"
This time, the people who went to hijack Zheng Zhilong's wife and children placed in Hirado's vassal were also personnel from the Intelligence Department. Although Japan was not the target of the Liao army, in fact, the Intelligence Department had begun to infiltrate Japan.
"They were placed in a courtyard on the outskirts of Jinzhou City, intact," said Ella.
"Well, I don't have to worry about doing things. We just returned to Jinzhou, so let's bring Zheng Zhilong and let them reunite." Chu Yun waved his hand, and several fully armed soldiers brought Zheng Zhilong and the others over.
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu and others came to Dalian Port with the fleet of the Fu Liao army and were shocked by this new port city. There were more ships parked here than the Xiamen Bay they operated. Factory and workshops were covered with stars, and black smoke was emitted from the chimneys in the distance. Carriages transported the produced materials to the dock, and then transported them to the cargo ship by the workers on the dock.
What is even more prosperous is that there are docks in Dalian Bay that produce several large ships at the same time, and their keels can be vaguely seen.
Guru, they want to swallow the surprise in their hearts. It seems that this place should not belong to this era.
