Chapter 1542: ?|????) When the sun and the moon are in the sky, the dragon enters the sea

Not long ago, Yizhou City and Kougang returned to the hands of the Lijia Chamber of Commerce Fleet of the Ming Empire, and were captured by a group of Lijia Musketeers with about 800 people. At the same time, there was another group of musketeers. The Ming army soldiers with more than 3,000 men were the auxiliary soldiers of the Li family musketeers.
That's right, the soldiers of the Ming Empire are the sailors of the Lijia Chamber of Commerce and the most elite 15,000 musketeers. The rest of them are all wall grass and auxiliary soldiers, and they are unbearable!
When Li, the admiral of the Daming Navy and the admiral of the East China Sea, on June 17, the 17th year of Chongzhen, he led an army of 20,000, conquered the capital, collected Shanhaiguan, killed more than 40,000 invaders and built slaves, and surrendered tens of thousands. After the enemy was completely driven out of the customs, the Ming Empire soon re-established itself and recovered Shandong, Shanxi, and the north of Gyeonggi to Shanhaiguan and other areas.
Especially after the thief Li Zicheng was once again defeated by the Li family and the Ming army on the front lines of Pingyang and Huaiqing, the imperial power of the Ming Empire was rarely seen as if the clouds were lifted to see the sky and the clouds were guarded to see the moon. Reconsolidated.
On August 15, the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On this day, known as the "Huo Guang" of the Ming Empire, Li, the admiral of the Daming Navy and the admiral of the East China Sea, who was worshipped by the general, the commander of the Jingwei and the governor of the Five Army Capital Governor's Office, welcomed the princess of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yu, to enter on the morning of the 15th. The main Forbidden City is still in the palace.
At night, the bright moon is in the sky, and the brilliance of the capital shines, and people can see the shadows, just like the day.
At the time when the officials gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters, the Li family sailors guarded the hall outside. Under the moonlight, some magpies mistakenly thought it was day, so they played and screamed among the palace eaves.
At that time, after the ministers saw it, one of them immediately stepped forward and proclaimed: ‘Fengji Hall of Supreme Harmony, Chique sees the court, is this a sign of auspiciousness and Ming’s revival? ’
After listening, the eldest princess, who was sitting on the side of the dragon chair and met by the courtiers, was shocked, but did not dare to move or answer easily.
However, Li, the admiral of the Daming Navy and the admiral of the East China Sea, believed that, and with the support and support of the officials who had returned to the Ming Dynasty, he was only fifteen years old, and the eldest princess Zhu Yuxuan, who was worthy of the cardamom age, became the empress of the Ming Dynasty. , Change the Yuan Tianshou, change the capital to the capital of God.
"!"
"Absurd! It's ridiculous!"
"What is the Empress of Ming Dynasty, and "Fengji Supreme Harmony Hall, Chique Seeing the Court", did the Li family kid wait for the old man to read history books?"
"Unreasonable!"
"It's just outrageous!"
"It's still in the moonlight, and the gods are granted them by heaven. They don't even bother to think about the reign name. They just copied the reign name of Wu Zetian and Wu Zetian. It's a deception!
In Yangzhou City, after Yangzhou Supervisor, Jianji Temple Academician, and War Department Shangshu Kefa saw the Dibao from the north and the new emperor’s message of amnesty for the world, he was so angry that his precious Jasper Penshear fell to the floor severely and left it to fall apart.
"..."
"..."
On the side, his subordinate officials did not dare to take a breath, they just looked at each other and looked at you.
After all, this is something that can’t be helped. Why didn’t the Li family recognize their Nanming court, did not listen to the announcement, and then went northward and defeated the capital, defeating the founding slaves and thieves, and then successfully welcoming them. The eldest princess was still in the old capital during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the great martial arts really convinced the world.
As for the queen...
Anyway, there is a precedent for Wu Zetian and Wu Zetian. Therefore, in the eyes of the people who do not have much interest and entanglement, and even the people in the south of Ming Dynasty, it seems that it is not too difficult to accept?
"They acted like that, where do they want my new emperor to be placed?"
"It's really bullying!"
"It's a heinous crime!"
With that said, Governor Shi picked up another good Duan inkstone, and planned to smash it out again.
However, when he saw the jasper brush-washed fragments on the ground, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, hesitating, and finally he had to gently put the piece of his beloved inkstone back on the table again.
He knew that it was useless for him to lose his temper here, because the Li family and the soldiers of the Li family didn't listen to them at all, and the opposing team was so powerful that they had beaten them away. The troubled thief Li Zicheng also failed one after another. It is said that they have all fled to Xi’an now. With their sturdy combat power, coupled with their strong ships and guns, even if they are dissatisfied with the Nanming court, what can they do? How?
After all, the opponent fought back to the north, took the Gyeonggi area, Shandong Shanxi and Shanhaiguan, and then dignifiedly established the first emperor’s concubine as the queen in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It seems that they are always better than they set the Fu King as the emperor in the south. To make the place name a bit more plausible?
However, as the saying goes, there is no two days, no country, two emperors, two emperors in the south and the north, and two imperial courts. This kind of thing can never last. For this reason, they are doomed to conflict between the south and the north. , There may be a mess in the future!
And this is the reason for his temper tantrum.
"Say!"
"You all talk about it!"
"Now, what should I do when I wait?"
After losing his temper and figuring it out, Governor Shi had to temporarily suppress his chaotic thoughts, and instead asked his officials angrily.
"..."
"..."
The officials looked at each other, and for a long time, an official who looked more like a merchant in civilian clothes walked out and said:
"Supervisor!"
"At the moment, I have no choice but to wait. I can't fight. I can only settle for the status quo."
"but…"
"Report from the front..."
"After the Li family took over Yizhou and other places, we are north of Yangzhou. Commander Zhang Tongzhi on the front line of Xuzhou led several thousand households and several thousand people to surrender to the north..."
"At present, the hearts of the people in the north are unstable, and many generals leading the army are ready to move. This is no way to continue."
Although this is really not good news, it will only make Governor Shi's mood worse, but at this time when people's hearts are floating, the subordinate official can't take care of too much.
After all, these people are also very ‘popular’ at this time, they are preparing to continue to wait and see, and then quickly re-betting to find another future!
"what!"
"What did you say?"
"When did that happen?"
"Thanks to the supervisor!"
"According to the speed of the courier's delivery of letters, it was about three days ago."
"!"
"Three days ago, wouldn't that mean that the defense line to the north has been torn apart by a big hole?"
"This this…"
Shi Kefa, the supervisor of Yangzhou, was stunned and sat staggered on the chair behind his desk.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the queen in the north to take the throne in a hurry, and there are already generals in the south who took the initiative to vote. If this continues, can it be worth it?
"How can this be good?"
"Ugh…"
Although he, the Yangzhou Supervisor, has never really controlled the soldiers outside of Yangzhou City. The name of the Supervisor is not true, but as long as those generals recognize the Ming court and admit that they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, then everything will be there. There is room for turning round.
But now it's alright. As soon as the queen of the north became the throne, the rat generations at the ends of the first rat abandoned them directly, without hesitation?
Shi Kefa can imagine that under the fluctuation of people's hearts, there will definitely be worse things waiting for them in the future!
Especially when their Nanming court was newly built, the government regulations were unreasonable, and the generals and leaders in various regions could hardly govern. Once the terrible collateral effect occurs, then they will be the only ones waiting for them as Nanming's heroes. It ended bleakly.
So, he must think of a way...
"..."
"..."
Seeing Supervisor Shi who was panicked, sitting down and his face constantly changing, the subordinate official sighed and said nothing, but quietly returned to the crowd.
He heard that the imperial court and the queen in the north are now recruiting refugees to reclaim the land to resume farming, and they have also given away the land and seeds. They have also guaranteed that there will be no taxes for three years. At the same time, they will open the sea ban to encourage commerce and trade. They are the officials. I heard it all.
They know that the Li family is very rich, and there are many large sea ships doing sea trade. The gold and silver shipped back from Japan and Nanyang are even worthy of the taxes collected by the Ming Dynasty for several years. After the Northland was recovered, they never did fundraising. In that case, even the soldier’s payment was doubled on time. Not to mention that Commander Zhang, who was often deducted from the payment, knew about it. If it was replaced by these people, I’m afraid they would know how to choose good trees and live there. Bar?
It can be seen that once the Li family in the north comes forward to defeat the robbers who are like a bereaved dog at this time, and regain the large tracts of land in the northwest to quell the civil unrest, then Nanming can naturally pass the decision!
After all, the hearts of the people in Jiangnan are unstable right now, and the Nanming court hasn't been convinced since its inception, and these people are also big business people, and they will never hang on a tree.
Of course, you can't talk nonsense about hanging things!
Because it is said that Emperor Chongzhen was hanged on a tree with a crooked neck and died for his country.'The emperor guards the country's gate and the emperor dies in the community' is certainly heroic, but that kind of thing, regardless of whether it was in Nanming or Beiming, is a taboo. Things can't be said easily.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Gradually, the study room of Yangzhou Supervisor Shi Kefa fell silent.
Including Governor Shi, several people here are silently thinking about their own affairs, making their own small calculations in their hearts.
As for whether they are thinking about the same thing, only God knows.
…
At a time when the Ming Empire in the far east was causing violent turmoil for certain things, on the other side of the earth, at the gateway of the European Mediterranean Sea, the furious Spanish Invincible Fleet Commander-in-Chief and the Navy Admiral of the Kingdom of Spain, Pedro de· Barrudis finally led his invincible fleet back to the port of Seville, and of course saw a piece of debris. The harbor was full of sunken ships, smoke, fire, and the shocking ones standing on the surface of the harbor. The densely packed masts.
In the distance, the coastal defense fortress of Seville has been blasted to the ground and collapsed. Between the broken walls, there are only a few walls and pillars standing there, looking so desolate.
And the hideous breaches from the port to the fort, the scattered cannons, and the broken bricks all quietly described what happened here.
There are ships floating on the water on the pier braving sparks and burning and smoky black smoke, but no one pays attention to them, just let them float there and continue to burn, because compared to the shipyard’s With billowing black smoke and a fire at the stockyard that has not been extinguished for two days, all the harbors here are nothing more than minor problems.
"..."
Although I didn't see too many corpses, Barudis, who was taking the soldiers to land safely with an ugly expression, couldn't help but squeeze his waist, looking at the tragic portrait of Seville. The hilt of the saber that the king gave him was a symbol of power.
"Say!"
"Where are the oriental people?!"
At this time, Barudis saw an officer who was running with a small group of soldiers to greet him. Then he stepped forward in a rage, and before the other party could speak, he grabbed the other party by the collar and scolded him angrily. Asked.
"Report, report to the admiral!"
"That devil-like fleet, after they bombarded Seville, destroyed the docks, fortresses, and fortresses, and then burned those merchant ships, military ports, and shipyards, they withdrew voluntarily."
"It is said that…"
"It is said that they are now going into the Strait of Gibraltar."
The officer did not dare to resist, nor did he dare to conceal it, and answered the question quickly and honestly.
"!"
"There are more than thirty large and small warships here in Seville. Where have they gone, are they all rubbish?"
"Just let them bombard the port, and then leave in a big swing?"
Although Barrudis, who had received information from Las Palmas and hurried back at sea, had thought that Seville would be attacked by those cunning Orientals, but he couldn’t believe it, the port of Seville. You were beaten so badly?
"them…"
"report!"
"Sir, where are all our warships now..."
The officer didn't get away from Barrudis's hand, but pointed tremblingly at the military dock.
There, only a section of it was sunk in the sea and exposed, facing different tens or hundreds of masts, and one or two wooden ship wrecks that were floating and smoking and burning to the extent that only the underwater part was left. That silently mocked Barudis, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish Invincible Fleet who had just returned, and the admiral of the Spanish Navy.
"!"
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Barudis pushed the officer away, snarling hysterically.
"Admiral!"
"Those Orientals from the Ming Empire are very cunning. They sneaked over with their backs to the sun during the dawn. When we saw them clearly, it was already too late!"
"The fleet suffered a devastating blow before it could leave the port, and then..."
"It's all sinking!"
"Then they started bombarding merchant ships..."
"Don't you know, their artillery fire is very fierce, and the range is very long. Our turrets can't fight back at all, and the artillery shells can't reach them at all."
"The fortress was also destroyed by them later."
"The fire in the wharf and military port burned for a day and night, and the fleet, merchant ships, and warehouses were all gone!"
"It's all over!"
Fortunately, the Li's fleet only destroyed the merchant ships, docks and shipyards. They did not land, nor did they bombard the residential areas in the city. But even now, their Spanish Invincible Fleet and Seville Hong Kong has also suffered heavy losses, and it may not be able to ease it for several years.
Of course, the most important thing is: the bad effects caused by the shelling of the port of Seville!
As a result, before Barrudis returned, His Majesty the King immediately sent someone to give an urgent order in advance after receiving the news: Ordering the Invincible Fleet to catch or destroy those nasty Orientals at all costs?
"Say!"
"How much is the loss?"
Barudis looked at the deserted pier around him with a sullen face, and then gritted his teeth and asked.
"Preliminary estimates..."
"At least more than 100 large and small merchant ships were destroyed, there are countless warehouses, fortresses and forts are almost completely destroyed, shipyards and stockyards are basically gone, as for warships..."
"More than 30 warships in size and size, the whole army is annihilated!"
With his head down, the Spanish officer did not dare to conceal, and roughly told some data he knew.
Five ships lined up, and hundreds of long-range artillery bombarded their harbor on one side. The sight, even just thinking about it, can still make this officer feel Fear from the heart.
"roll!"
"waste!"
"It's all waste!"
"and many more!"
"You just said... those Orientals, they entered the Mediterranean?"
Angrily scolded a few words. Suddenly, the furious Barrudis barely suppressed his anger, turned around abruptly, stared at the officer who bowed his head and asked such a sentence.
"Yes!"
"There are merchant ships that have entered the Strait of Gibraltar. I have not heard of them coming out yet."
"!"
"Order!"
"Let the fleet block the Strait of Gibraltar!"
"Sent to the admiral of Madeira and other fleets near the Mediterranean, ordering them to return to Seville immediately!"
"and also!"
"Call for all armed merchant ships of your own country!"
"Those Da Ming people, they are dead this time!"
On the way to Madeira, the commander-in-chief of the Spanish Invincible Fleet and the admiral of the Spanish Navy, Pedro de Barudis, said with gritted teeth.
"Yes!"
An officer following Barrudis was shocked and prepared to run to pass orders.
"and many more!"
"Launch the intelligence network of the Mediterranean, the intelligence network of all the ports!"
"I must know as soon as possible, those Orientals, and the specific whereabouts of their Li family fleet!"
In Barudis's opinion, since the other party entered the Mediterranean as if it was a dead end, then the next thing would be much easier.
"and also!"
"The port of Ceuta where people take fifty warships to requisition the Portuguese!"
"Let them hold the other side of the strait!"
After all, there is only one entrance and exit in the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar, so even in a state of anger, Barudis still sensibly delivered what he thought was the most accurate order.
He only needs to mobilize a huge fleet to guard Seville and Ceuta, and completely control the exit of the Mediterranean. He believes that by that time, even if he cannot find the enemy, the initiative will always be on his side.
Because, those Orientals will always have a day when they will come out and be defeated by their invincible fleet!
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
