In the anchorage of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty under the Zhaobaoshan Fort.

At this time, it was a desolate and desolate scene. There was no one on the huge pier. On the Yongjiang waterway, which was still busy in the past, except for a dozen Western-style armed merchant ships that had just entered, not even a single fishing boat could be seen.

The nearby naval barracks is also closed and not popular at all.

Even the water of the Yongjiang River seemed a little weak at the moment, just floating up and down gently.

There are fifteen armed merchant ships with lowered sails docked at the pier. They are all of Western style, but the triangular five-claw golden dragon flag is hung on the mast. These fifteen Western ships are large and small, and there is no Qing Nanyang among them.

The two largest ships in the Navy - Dinghai Batulu and Zhenhai Batulu.

When Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong rushed to the dock excitedly on horseback with a team of Geshhar and several staff, all the Western-style armed merchant ships had lowered their sails, lowered their anchors, and returned

Put the springboard on the shore.

Some naval officers and soldiers wearing black or blue silk mandarin jackets (the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty were made by themselves, so they are not exactly the same), wearing official hats, carrying waist knives or carrying muskets, have already disembarked and are on the way.

A team formed on the pier.

Fan Chengmo knew that this was the "Henan rule" of Balteba's military sect. When their navy from the "Henan country" boarded and disembarked, they had to form a whole team to accept the roll call of the commander.

Seeing the large number of Westerners coming off the ship, Fan Zhijun felt relieved - it was nothing to lose a little warship, as long as the people were fine. If the ship was gone, it could be rebuilt, no, it was rented again!

When Fan Chengmo reined in his horse and got off the horse, he had already seen Bart and Figo.

Both of them wore mandarin jackets, with waistbands and braids on the back of their heads. They were no different from ordinary military attachés of the Qing Dynasty - among them, Balt had not shaved his hair, he was a "zero-hour slave"! Figo, on the other hand, looked like a normal military attache.

I shaved my hair according to Qing's rules.

Seeing that both of them were fine, Fan Chengmo finally felt relieved, with a smile that he hadn't seen for many days on his face. He smiled and said to Jackie Chan: "Yu Shan, we both have to live... There are still people in my yamen."

There are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, all of which are collected from customs duties these days. As long as I can deliver it to the emperor and take the fleet to the north, the emperor will sentence me to a prison sentence at most, and you will serve as a frontline soldier at most."

Yu Chenglong was also very happy. The words about being beheaded and dismissed from official positions and serving in the army were all fake... After all, the ministers who guarded the land were guilty of losing the land. But in fact, everyone knew that they had meritorious service.

Yes, of course the emperor also knows. So as soon as the limelight is over, they can be restored to their posts, and they can be of great use.

While talking, the two of them strode to Bart and Figo.

When Bart saw them coming, he shouted in "Henan accent" Chinese: "We are Chinese, and we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

The "Temporary Foreign Eight Banners" below all shouted: "We are Chinese, we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty..."

These "Foreign Eight Banners" didn't speak Chinese well, as if they had an olive in their mouths, so neither Fan Chengmo nor Yu Chenglong understood it. Fan Chengmo even asked with a smile: "Philippine Assistant, what are they shouting? How do you understand it?"

It seems like you are rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?"

Figo laughed and said, "Return to the Zhijun, they are shouting: We are Chinese, we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty..."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

"Arrest Fan Zhijun and Yu Chenglong!" Bart suddenly shouted in "Henan dialect".

The "temporary slaves of the Eighth Foreign Banners" lined up below seemed to have been waiting for Bart's order. As soon as he shouted, a group of the Eighth Foreign Banners had already drawn their swords or held muskets and rushed towards Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong.

At the same time, the big boat on which Bart and others were riding suddenly heard a very scary sound of "Qiu Qiuqiu", and then more than a dozen rockets dragged white tail flames towards Zhaobaoshan.

fort.

The other "Foreign Eight Banners" lined up on the pier suddenly began to take action. They raised their muskets and drew their swords, shouting slogans of "anti-Qing and restore Ming", or rushed towards Fan Chengmo's Goshiha, or rushed towards Zhaobaoshan.

.

Fan Chengmo, who had been captured by the two "Eight Foreign Banners", was stunned and still asked: "Why? Why is this? Bajunmen, you are a Dutchman, why do you want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

Figo took Fan Chengmo's question and said with a wry smile: "Fan Zhijun... Bajunmen is no longer Dutch, he is Chinese now, a Chinese who wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

"Why is this?" Fan Chengmo still didn't understand.

"Hahaha, because the two foreign Eight Banners, Balt and Figo, were defeated by our navy of the Ming Dynasty fifteen days ago and were taken as prisoners... In order to survive, they all became second ministers and third ministers.

Now he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty."

The person who answered this question with a big smile was a "man-slayer" who was stepping down from the warship. He was wearing a red robe and a yellow turban, a long sword with an empty hammer, and a ferocious face. It was Qiu Rong Qiu Rong, the scarred swordsman.

It turned out that after Balt and Figo were captured that day, they were quickly taken back to Sanduao together with other "foreign Eight Banners prisoners" - the number of them was actually not too many, only five or six hundred, because they were sunk that day.

There were only six ships of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, which were the six ships at the front. The other ships saw that something was wrong and all fled...but they did not escape back to Ningbo, so Fan Chengmo,

Jackie Chan doesn't know what happened?

After these prisoners arrived at Sanduao, in order to survive, they all followed Balt and Figo and expressed their intention to engage in the great cause of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming".

So Zhu Heji showed great mercy and incorporated them all into the Aoi Regiment. Most of the more than a thousand "Foreign Eight Banners" who have landed now are members of the Aoi Regiment.

After Balt and Figo defected to the Ming Dynasty, of course they told Zhu Heji, Qiu Rong and others about the deployment of the Zhaobaoshan fort.

It turns out that this Zhaobaoshan fort is quite interesting. It was expanded on the basis of the Zhenhai fort in the Ming Dynasty. It was designed by Bart himself and supervised by Fan Chengmo. Although it is still a bit hasty and simple, as long as the defenders

Even if you are determined enough, it is still quite difficult to fight.

So Zhu Heji immediately formulated a surprise attack plan. He sent out the Aoi regiment to pretend to be the Western Eight Banners, and asked Balt and Figo to lead the way. He also selected fifteen Western-style warships and asked Qiu Rong to take one with them.

Go for a sneak attack... first attack Dinghai, and then attack Ningbo.

At the same time, Zhu Heji personally led a town's land army to Wenzhou and Taizhou all the way north, heading straight for Ningbo. He also sent a large number of naval ships to carry another town to occupy Dinghai, and landed in Shaoxing, Haining, Jiaxing, Songjiang and other places.

, in order to put pressure on the Qing troops in Ningbo and Hangzhou.

Qiu Rong had already arrived in front of Fan Chengmo and Yu Chenglong, and asked with a smile: "Which one of you is Fan Chengmo?"

Fan Chengmo snorted: "I am Fan Chengmo, the Governor of Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty. If you want to kill me, kill him. I will not surrender!"

Qiu Rong smiled without waving his hand: "Fan, what good do you want? You are Fan Wencheng's son, and you still want to surrender? I am only looking for you to escort you to persuade others to surrender..."

He asked Yu Chenglong again, "Who are you? Is your father a traitor?"

"Xiaguan's surname is Yu and his given name is Chenglong. My father is just an ordinary scholar." Yu Chenglong quickly explained, "Xiaguan was admitted to the Imperial College in the early years of Shunzhi."

There are also different types of traitors on Zhu Heji's side, such as King Sanshun, Duke Shun, the descendants of Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, and Fan Wencheng, and the descendants of Ning Wanme, who are certainly big traitors!

Unless you have made great achievements, you will not be spared.

And guys like Yu Chenglong, who took exams to become officials after entering the Qing Dynasty, are small traitors, and they still have to be given a chance to change their ways - if they sincerely change their ways and are willing to contribute to the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, there are too many such "little traitors". If we want to eliminate them all, we will make too many enemies.
