Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 455 Encountering a Dutch Ship
Everyone was happy with Shi Lang's surrender.The soldiers around Ji Dong knew that there were not many people who could make their Lord Supervisor so caring.Accepting Li Yan and Shi Lang, Lin Yi all showed the heart of an emperor. All the generals saw from him was his thirst for talents.

At this time, Xiao Yingzhe pulled to the side and whispered: "Zheng Damu, the son of the false emperor Zheng Zhilong, killed Shi Lang's brother, but Shi Lang was unmoved by it. Why did Lord Lin Yi send someone to move to Shi Lang's family? , he surrendered smoothly? Is a family reunion more convincing than losing a brother?"

Zhezhe is good at observing and thinking, and generally does not speak easily, especially in this kind of occasion, but Xiaoying is different. She is a person who is easy to express. Don't hide it, and their Brother Lin seems to like her for that.

Zhezhe glanced slowly, thinking, "Sister, that Shi Xian lost the city and should be executed according to the law. Besides, Zeng De, Zheng Damu's subordinate, was killed by mistake. Shi Lang wants to betray Zheng Zhilong because of this incident. The mouth is full of gold, and the bones are destroyed. Shi Lang and his family enjoy the favor of Zheng Zhilong, and they are also the generals of the Southern Army. Yes, his family is still in the jaws of death, and he will not risk the lives of the whole family because of his own safety, so who is Shi Lang? His brother is dead, and it is irreparable no matter what. But now it is different Now, the family is reunited, there is no worries, if he does not surrender, will he continue to work for the Zheng family?... I may not be right."

Seeing that Xiaoying was fascinated by listening, she felt that she had made a bit of a slip of the tongue today, so she quickly changed her words.

Xiaoying couldn't help nodding her head in admiration, "You're so right... No wonder Brother Lin specially arranged for someone to disguise himself to bring back the young and old of Shi Lang's family. Isn't this the straw... That sentence How did you say it? Brother Lin said it?"

Xiaoying wanted to quote a sentence that Lin Yi said, but she knew the meaning but couldn't say it.

"The straw that broke the camel's back." Zhe Zhe reminded with a smile.

"Oh yes, that was the last straw that broke the camel's back." Xiaoying repeated this sentence, pointed at Zhezhe, stared at Zhezhe with exaggerated big eyes, and said seriously, "Okay, our big brother Lin The important general, I didn't expect to be seen through by you little liar."

Zhe Zhe glanced at her, "My sister is making fun of me again, I was the one who saw Chuan, brother Lin saw through it, okay?"

"Then you see through Brother Lin?" Xiaoying smiled playfully.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, or next time, you won't know anything about it." Zhezhe blushed, and pouted Xiaofen's pouty mouth.

"You dare." Xiaoying tilted her head, full of domineering...

Shi Lang surrendered to Ji Dong in this way, which also caused a chain reaction.Shi Fu, the general who surrendered in the Battle of Zhenjiang, also surrendered. He is Shi Lang's family uncle and the younger brother of Shi Lang's father, Shi Daxuan. The whole family was brought over from his hometown in Nan'an, Fujian, and Shi Fu knelt down and surrendered to Lin Yi without saying a word.

These are the backbone figures of Zheng Zhilong Group, of course Lin Yi is happy.For the sake of his surname Shi, he was not killed in Zhenjiang, so it seemed right to keep him. There was one more general and one less enemy general.

The battle in Jiangyin was quite fruitful, not to mention how many bandit troops were wiped out, and the spoils gained were insignificant. The key is that Shi Lang, Shi Fu, Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and other four generals were taken in, and even Zheng Zhilong's son surrendered. Yes, its influence is no less than that of hurricanes and earthquakes.

Lin Yi was so happy that he named Shi Lang as General Zhengnan and the front commander of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty on the spot. This was a complete reversal of Zheng Zhilong's appointment as General Zhengbei. He is also Shi Lang's general, and Lin Yi also fulfilled his promise to Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian to restore them to their original posts and serve as Shi Lang's deputy general and guerrilla general.

Instead of being wronged, he was appointed an official. The four generals knelt down on the ground, weeping with gratitude.The court is really kind to Lombok. They committed such a serious crime. According to the laws of Ming Dynasty, beheading is the lightest punishment. They are even punished with capital punishment, ransacking their homes and digging up their ancestors' graves.

However, Lin Yi now let them forget the past with one word, and if they are given such high-ranking officials and rich salary, they can only swear their allegiance to Lin Yi, the supervisor of the country, and Daming to the death.

Some people clean up the battlefield to deal with the spoils, and some people record meritorious service for each meritorious soldier.

Then Lin Yi passed down a verbal order to reward the three armies wantonly. In Jiangyin County, he even rewarded the soldiers and horses brought ashore by the navy battalion.From small soldiers in the army to commanding envoys and generals, everyone has a share.Sitting on the ground with big bowls of wine and meat, punching and ordering, it was very lively.

So far, the army that Zheng Zhilong handed over to Shi Lang and Shi Fu included tens of thousands of sailors. When they hit the Zhenjiang area, it was as if the river stopped flowing. .

Of course, these soldiers and generals of the Southern Army did not expect it in their dreams. They thought that they were captured by the Ming army and escaped death. They did not expect that they would be lucky because of misfortune. If you become a soldier of the Ming army, your previous affairs will be canceled and your food and salary will be paid as usual. From now on, according to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, you will be rewarded for your merits and punished for your crimes.

This is simply a huge bargain.It is even more shocking than Zheng Zhilong's ascension to the throne and the amnesty of the world.It seems that the Ming Dynasty is still good!If you knew this, you would have come to surrender a long time ago...

These Confederate prisoners were all beaming with joy, and they would wake up laughing in their sleep and dreams.

In this way, Lin Yi's army has increased by tens of thousands of horses. Together with the few battalions he brought over to make up for the loss of war casualties, it is like a snowball. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been added.

During this period, Qin Wang's teachers from all over the surrounding areas also gathered in this area one after another.

Now in Zhenjiang and Jiangyin, Lin Yi can directly mobilize no less than 30 troops, including those on shore and in the navy.

Moreover, due to the surrender of Shi Lang and other four generals, the rebels guarding the cities along the river that their large army took down originally ran and surrendered after getting the news.From Jiangyin to Chongming Island, the entire Yangtze River Basin, the rebels for hundreds of miles either came and surrendered, or abandoned their positions, and all fled.

Lin Yi immediately sent troops to take over these places, and then asked the capital cabinet to send local officials to protect the people.

Next, Lin Yi still divided his troops into two groups. He ordered the troops on the shore to push the front line southward under the leadership of Jiangyin Sangong and Shi Fu.Attack Huainan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang from the Jianghuai River, and then Lin Yi and Shi Lang formed a naval fleet of 5 people. The formation of more than 400 warships, including the destroyer Yang Wei, went down the river, entered the sea through the estuary, and then entered the sea from the east. The rebels who attacked the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas along the coast.

The 6 battalions on the shore are still Lin Yi's 2 battalions, and these [-] troops are Lin Yi's direct line troops cultivated by himself. They are the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. The combat power on the shore can be regarded as world-class, so of course we can't stay away from him It is equivalent to the Lin Yi Shenji Battalion Yulin Army, including the Standard Battalion, the Invincible Battalion, the original Musket Battalion, the original New Training Battalion, and the Lin Yi Guard Battalion, etc.

The commanding generals of the 2 horses are still Wang Jian, Dong Sheng, Zhang Hua, etc. As long as Lin Yi abandons the ship and lands, the 2 horses will immediately accompany him.

Now the Ming army in the west, north and east has generally formed a semi-encirclement trend against several provinces of the Southern Army. Together, the troops from all walks of life are close to 60 people fighting against the Southern Army.

Together with the entourage on the shore, Lin Yi's 7 people traveled down the river without hindrance, and soon reached the mouth of the sea.

Ji Dong knew that when the giant ship Yang Wei really showed its power when it was at sea.

Shi Lang, Zheng Cai, and Zheng Lian led more than 100 naval warships to lead the way for Lin Yi. Lin Yi led the Yangwei giant ship formation with more than 200 warships as the main force of the navy, and then followed up.

The vast sea area, the blue waves, the blue sky, make people feel relaxed and happy. The boat sailing on the sea, breaking through the waves, this scene is far from comparable to that in the Yangtze River.

Lin Yi stood on the bow of the giant ship, holding a telescope to enjoy the distant and near sea scenery.Behind him, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and other three or four hundred marines escorted them, and together with the battleship formation, they formed a beautiful sea and sky marching map.

When Lin Yi's mighty and majestic naval fleet sailed along the coast to the southern waters of Zhoushan Island in Zhejiang Province, suddenly a fleet could be seen through the telescope on the distant sea, playing the flag of the Dutch Navy.

The subordinate immediately consulted Shi Lang, Shi Lang saw through the binoculars this Dutch merchant fleet, escorted by several Dutch military ships.

"Stop them immediately!"

"General, is this inappropriate?"

Shi Lang understood the meaning of his subordinate soldiers. These Mao Hongzi's fleet had paid tolls, but they had handed them over to Zheng Zhilong. Now that Zheng Zhilong is the enemy of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Jun let them go, but they encountered the navy of Ming Dynasty. Passes don't work!
"What's wrong, this general will report the matter to Lord Jian Guo. Our fleet is ready to fire and signal them to stop. If they dare to make a mistake, they will all be sunk." Shi Lang's face was resolute.

"promise."

The subordinate army agreed, and immediately spread his order, and more than 100 warships immediately formed a battle formation to stop the Dutch fleet.

"Eight miles...five miles...three miles..." The fleets of both sides were approaching, and soon both sides entered the firing range of each other's artillery.

Now the generals on the ships in front can see this Dutch fleet with naked eyes, Bai Huahua's area, at least forty or fifty ships, most of the merchant ships are in the middle, and the Dutch warships are in front and on both sides. They are completely different, the colors and flags are very distinct, and the sails are many and big, and Bai Huahua's sight is very majestic when viewed from a distance.

At this time, the warships of the Ming army in front played semaphore, and artillery fired a warning to the sky, telling them to stop immediately.

But the Dutch fleet didn't listen to Daming's warning at all, the warship opened the way and continued to move forward, ignoring the Daming fleet as nothing.

"What about the general?" Lin Yi asked Shi Lang before his order came.

"This is Daming's sea area, how can these red-haired brats be allowed to show off their power? Stop it, absolutely don't let the red-haired brats pass!"

With Shi Lang's order, Daming's ships quickly formed a ship wall on the sea surface, horizontally in front of the Dutch fleet.

"Boom... Boom..." The Dutch warship in the front suddenly fired.
