Chapter three hundred and ninety first save the commander Mao Wenlong
Chapter 391: Saving the General Mao Wenlong
"Hahaha..." Yang Jing laughed loudly, and Yang Jing became interested in cultivating this "hard traitor".
Everyone gathered their eyes and looked at the emperor.
"With my power?" Yang Jing asked Peter with a look down.
Peter Natz was so thrilling by the emperor's laughter that he was stared at by the emperor and dared not move. The authority of this emperor is far beyond that of Pope Taisey!
"Dear Your Majesty, yes, Peter Natz is willing to be loyal to you, be willing to serve you, be your knight, be the sword in your hand, be willing to eliminate enemies for Your Majesty and destroy enemies..." Peter said quickly.
"Hahaha..." Yang Jie burst into laughter again. This traitor is quite good-looking.
Peter was even more panicked, afraid that his words would arouse the emperor's disgust. So, according to the rules of the East, the emperor had the right to kill him at any time.
"...Haha, how many people I have? But if you want me to remember you, and if you want me to help you..." Yang Jing paused.
Peter's heart was in his throat.
"...Yes...but you have to reflect your value. I cannot help a worthless person for no reason. What's more, you are not my people. Only when you have enough value can your requirements be realized. Do you understand what I mean?" Yang Jingai said with a smile. Yang Jingai is still patient and willing to pay for the cultivation of "helpful traitors". This hell is very likely to be a key to open Nanyang.
"Dear Your Majesty, I understand. I will prove the value of your Majesty. Your Majesty, please allow me to be loyal to you. Peter is willing to be your knight..." Peter couldn't wait to climb up to the emperor's high branch.
Yang Jing smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Peter, to be loyal to me, you must prove it with actions, not a word or a ceremony. Therefore, if you want to become my knight, you must also prove it with actions. I don't need waste or useless people, do you understand?" Yang Jing said.
"Dear Your Majesty, your servant understands, please give your servant a chance to prove your loyalty and courage..." Peter knelt down on both knees, stroked his shoulder with his right hand, lowered his head, and said seriously and piously.
"...Well, there is one thing that you need to do. If you can do it successfully, then I believe that you are valuable. If you can accomplish this well, then I accept your allegiance and make you my knight, and save your son as you wish. Of course, the time and journey of saving your son are too long, and I cannot guarantee that your son is still alive now. However, I will provide necessary help, for example, I will allow you to take a fleet to get your son back. If your son dies in Japan, I will allow you to ask for compensation and punish Japan..." Yang Jing said with a smile.
"As for your order, my Majesty, your servant is willing to serve you. Thank you for your generosity. You will gain the loyalty of your servant. Please tell your servant what you want to do?" Peter said seriously.
"Actually, I have told you about this matter just now. I am currently fighting the Donglu on a border in the northeast of my Ming Dynasty. So, I want to send a fleet to help defend the city, and use the advantages of the fleet artillery to open a transportation supply line. If you can keep the transportation line open and suppress the Donglu and help the soldiers guarding the city, then, even if you succeed, I can accept your allegiance and make you my knight. If you do well, do well, and make great contributions, then I will have additional rewards. For example, I will send a fleet to accompany you to Japan to ask for your son..." Yang Jing has also invested in this traitor. Of course, he has been planning to fight Japan. Now a traitor is coming to fight the Japanese, which is even better.
"As for the order, my Majesty, your servant will definitely fulfill the mission you gave you." Peter breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his adventure had been successful. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was indeed as wise as the rumors, with a very broad vision and a broad mind. He did not despise himself just because he was a "barbarian", but instead talked to him with a smile.
"Okay, this was what I meant to summon you today. Do it well and do it with your heart. If you do things for me, I will not disappoint you..." Yang Jing made a promise.
"As for your order, my Majesty..." Peter quickly agreed.
"Okay, then next, let's introduce your fleet..." Yang Jingwei said.
"As for your order, my Majesty..."
"...This is Captain Rekaz. Your ship is a Garen warship with more than fifty artillery guns, and it is also the flagship of our fleet..." Peter began to introduce his fleet captain.
The captain named Rekaz did not know Chinese. After listening to Peter's introduction, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed with a little panic, muttering a bunch of "bird songs".
"Your Majesty, Rekaz is saying hello to you..." Peter acted as the translator.
Yang Jingai didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Your Majesty, Captain Hort, his ship is a Garen warship with forty-two cannons..."
Another captain also knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, this is McCarthy, his ship is a warship with thirty cannons..."
Peter introduced for a while, and finally introduced the captains.
There are six ships in total, among which Rekaz's flagship is the largest, with more than fifty cannons, followed by Hot's ship, and forty cannons. Next, there are two warships with twenty or thirty cannons, and two warships with only a few and more than a dozen cannons. They are said to be warships, but in fact, they should be said to be traffic ships.
Although it is a traffic ship, there are at least seven or eight cannons. This configuration is already comparable to the artillery configuration on the ship of the Ming Dynasty's naval warship. Therefore, Yang Jing did not dislike it. When he went to Zhenjiang Fort, he mainly used artillery to suppress it. It was not a jet of ships to fight naval battles. The number of artillery is the most important, so he would not dislike others as a traffic ship. Of course, there are more important things. If the ship is to be on, the boat is more important.
Yang Jingwei had already known about the ship, but when he saw these captains today, Yang Jingwei felt that it was even more real. The emperors were all "professional otaku" and were always full of curiosity about the outside world.
"Peter, go to the same place with me... Big companion, go to the platform, I want to use the sand table of Zhenjiang Fort to discuss the details of the battle." Yang Jing said the first half of the time to Peter, and the second half of the time to Wang Chengen. Since I decided to use this traitor, construction will be started soon, because the battle with Mao Wenlong is about to begin, and there is no time to take it slowly.
"As for your order, my Majesty..."
"As for your order, your Majesty..."
"In addition, let Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong and others go to the platform..." Yang Jingai thought about it and frowned.
"I obey the order..."
platform.
The sand tables in Zhenjiang Fort were made quite realistically, including oceans, rivers, mountains, cities, and armies against both sides, which made foreigners Peter, stunned.
In addition to Sun Chengzong's inevitable presence, there are also Peter, a foreigner who wants to be the Knight of Yang Refined, and Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong.
Yang Jie saw everyone and said seriously.
"Everyone has arrived, then, I will talk about my plans..." After Yang Jing said that, he glanced at the platform and everyone stood up straight, serious and serious. Even the foreigner Peter followed suit, imitating Lei Dayong and others, and tried to stand up straight as much as possible, so the movements were not very good. However, for the first time he stood in a "military posture", his movements could not be very good, so the military posture was a bit inappropriate.
"I won't say much about the significance of this battle at Zhenjiang Fort. The latest news now is that the East Road of the Donglu still besieged Zhenjiang Fort, and the West Road of the Donglu, that is, the captain Huang Taiji, defeated Lin Danhan and was rushing towards Zhenjiang Fort quickly. This time, they should use a batch of artillery... You may ask where their artillery came from, and you are not afraid of you making fun of it. These artillery were all seized from my Ming Dynasty..." Yang Jie said this, stopped again, looked at it, and saw that everyone was in good condition, and continued.
"So, the next battle of Zhenjiang Fort will be extremely difficult and cruel. Mao Wenlong, because Zhenjiang Fortress is not big, he cannot hide too many soldiers. On the Donglu side, it is estimated that the troops will reach 50,000 or 60,000. Therefore, the troops of the two sides are quite different. Even if there are grenades to defend the city, it will be a bloody battle. Therefore, Zhenjiang Fort must have foreign aid, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be defeated... So, today I want to introduce someone to you..."
"...This is Peter, the commander of the fleet I recruited. I plan to send a fleet to support Mao Wenlong. You probably know about this, and this is the specific executor..." Yang Jing introduced that several servants on the platform just greeted Peter with a gaze, and Peter bent down to return the greeting one by one.
Yang Jing pointed at the mouth of the Yalu River with his baton and said: "Peter's fleet will first reach Pi Island. After reaching Pi Island, then go to the mouth of the Yalu River, enter the Yalu River, and enter the Dazhe River through the Yalu River. The Dazhe River is not far upstream, and is Zhenjiang Fort. The battlefield is here. The east side of Zhenjiang Fort is the Dazhe River, the north side is the mountains, and the south side and the west side can attack the city..." Yang Jing pointed to the sand table and explained his position.
"...Peter, your task is to lead the fleet and follow my instructions to go upstream to reach Zhenjiang Fort. Since the east of Zhenjiang Fort is the Dazhe River, after reaching, your task is to use warships and artillery to open a supply line to ensure that materials and personnel can be input and output in time... Of course, if you have the ability, you can even assist Zhenjiang Fort defending the city. If you can block the south, then the Donglu can only attack the city from the west. In this way, the pressure in the city will be much smaller... Do you understand what I mean?" Yang Jing asked the "traitor" he had just captured.
"My Majesty, your servant understands that he is to lead the warship to Zhenjiang Fort, no matter how difficult it is, then open up a supply line and then bombard the southern position outside the city? Is that right?" Peter immediately retelled his combat mission.
Yang Jing nodded. It seems that this person who can be the leader of the Netherlands in Taiwan is somewhat capable.
"...It's like that, but Peter, this time you go, there will be a question: whether the river can take a sea boat. After repeated verification, what can be confirmed at present is that you have four boats that should be able to reach Zhenjiang Fort through the Yalu River and the Dazhe River. As for your flagship and the second largest ship, you may not be able to reach Zhenjiang Fort because the water in the river is too shallow..." Yang Jie said.
Yang Jing asked someone to analyze the hydrology of Zhenjiang Fort several times and found that only small boats can go up, and large warships cannot do it. As for the flood season, it can only be said to be based on luck, and it depends on luck. Now, it is obviously too early.
Peter was disappointed for a while, and then said, "As for orders, my Majesty, there are only four ships, and your servant can complete this task..." Although Peter was disappointed, he had no choice but to withdraw.
"...Well, in view of this, I will also send some Ming navy troops to help you open up the supply line, input and output personnel and materials, so that you can complete the task better..." Yang Jingwei said.
Peter was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, you are really a kind Lord..." Peter did not expect that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would actually hand over the Ming Dynasty's navy to him to command, which was really unexpected.
Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong, the few people were very dissatisfied when they heard this, but the emperor did not let him speak, so he could only hold it in and stare at Peter with his eyes.
"Peter, in this battle, I will send some servants to follow you, supervise your battle, assist you, or coordinate with you. I found that there are not many people in your fleet who understand the Ming Dynasty's words, and communication is a problem!... In addition, servants are what you mean by a knight. My servants have more identity than your knight..." Yang Jing said with a smile.
"Dear Your Majesty, I know, Peter knows, attendant, attendant..." Peter said happily several times.
"Peter, the conditions for hiring your warships this time are generous. In addition to the commission you deserve, I also make the following promises to you. First: During the battle, if the warship is destroyed by the enemy, I will create another new one for you. If it is not damaged during wartime, I will be responsible for half of it; Second, if you complete it well, I will increase your bounty; Third, I will fully supplement the consumption of this battle. I will supplement the amount of ammunition you can fire. If the artillery is damaged during the battle, I will replace it with new ones. Therefore, don't have any concerns when you need to fire the gun. When you need to fire the gun, just fire the gun. Even if you use a hundred cannons to bombard an enemy, I will supplement your ammunition..." Yang Jing has invested in order to win the war and effectively support Mao Wenlong.
Peter was overjoyed. Originally, many things were included in the commission. However, it was obvious that this time, His Majesty the Emperor of the East was very generous and gave many additional promises. It seems that the generosity of the Eastern Emperor was true in the rumor.
"Thank you, my Majesty..." Peter said happily.
"Haha, there is another last point. If you fight for me, brave and meritorious, then I may consider allowing you to become a naturalized person, or even giving you an official position to be an official. I have never been stingy with those who are capable. Haha, you can ask your missionaries about my reputation..." Yang Jing used his reputation to talk about it and threw out another bait.
Peter was so happy that he didn't know what to say. What was the official thing in the Ming Dynasty? Peter, who was familiar with the Ming Dynasty, naturally understood that he was a great nobleman! This was definitely much better than what kind of knight he won in Tessie. As for the emperor's credibility, Peter had already found out clearly, otherwise he would not have come to surrender to the emperor of the Eastern Empire.
"Your Majesty, your servant will lead the fleet forward bravely, and use the blood of the Donglu to prove my loyalty and ability..."
Yang Jingang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news..."
Peter left, with countless promises, with infinite joy, with infinite hope.
The rest are Sun Chengzong, Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong.
Sun Chengzong was closest to the emperor and stood indifferently beside the emperor.
Lei Dayong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others were angry.
Yang Jie glanced at it and said, "Haha, look at how you guys look, it seems that they have objections to my arrangement?"
"Your Majesty, the students dare not." Several people answered in unison.
"Haha, are there any of your faces that are written on Lei Dayong, let me say, how many cannons are there on my Ming Dynasty's lucky ship?" Yang Jingai asked.
Lei Dayong was stunned for a moment and replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the great blessing ship in our dynasty has one red cannon, six thousand jin Folang machine, three bowl guns, and twenty Thunder cannons..."
"Not counting Thunder cannons, how many cannons are above the bowl gun? How heavy is that Thunder cannon?" Yang Jie said.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of ten cannons..., the Thunder cannon weighs twenty kilograms..." Lei Dayong replied with his head down.
"Ten gates? Well, that's right. My main warship of the Ming Dynasty only has ten cannons. Haha, the smallest ones of the barbarians have seven or eight cannons. So, I handed over the task of supporting Mao Wenlong to the barbarians to the barbarians to take charge. You may feel dissatisfied, or it may feel that it is insulting my country's prestige. In fact, I think so. But can I solve the problem just by thinking? You are in the General Staff Department, so you should know the most. Mao Wenlong came to defend the city with a determination to die. You said, can I not save him?...What should I use to save him? Apart from sea, can I also take land? So, at sea,
Mao Wenlong’s only hope, so I dare not take risks,... You may think that using the warships of the barbarians is a risk, but in fact, I dare not use my Ming fleet to take risks, for no other reason, my Ming navy has not built a new ship, and has built a large ship for many years? Can the lucky ship be on it? No? Can the small boat be on it, but how many cannons are there on the small boat? What’s the use of those two or three cannons? What can it be done with those small cannons? So, I chose the fleet of the barbarians with a large number of cannons. I just want to use the barbarians’ artillery to open a passage for Mao Wenlong, and if necessary, it can open a road of life... I don’t want Mao Wenlong to die,
I don't want to defend Zhenjiang Fort to despair... Can you understand that I say this? It's not that I don't want to use my Ming warship, but that I dare not take this risk!... Oh, if the navy in my dynasty is like a barbarian, why would I hire barbarian warships? I called you this time, and there is another meaning, that is, among you, two of you will take a group of people to take the barbarian warships, learn how to control the barbarian ships, and fight... I really don't want to recreate the situation where there is no ship to send, and I can't afford to lose that person... I have built many barbarian warships in the south, and now I'm short of people to operate. You've gotten on it.
In addition to supervising them to fight hard, the warships of the barbarians are learning their abilities. In the future, all the barbarians in the south will be operated by you. In the future, I will no longer be afraid of such a situation without ships to be sent. I have placed all my hope on you... Also, how many people in the court are going to impeach Mao Wenlong? You probably have heard of it? So, you should know how dangerous Mao Wenlong is, so Mao Wenlong can only win, not lose. Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, you three come from Dongjiang Town. Don’t you want to save your Marshal Mao..." Yang Jingying talked randomly.
Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong were asked by the emperor and cried "whimperingly". Mao Wenlong and the others knew the situation best. They stayed in the General Staff all day long. They naturally could not hide any news. There was a large army siege outside and a person who was in the same dynasty poaching inside. They could fall down for various reasons at any time. Except for an emperor who was still trying his best to find a way, this situation would not be sad.
