Han’s Son is Not a Slave

"Anchor!"

In Xiamen port, with the rapid sound of the gong, the flag-bearers of the warships immediately raised their flags. The soldiers picked up the anchor from the sea with all their hands and feet, then raised the sail, and left the port in an orderly manner, heading north. They will arrive at Zhoushan first, meet with the main force of the East Sea Division there, and then go to Chongming together.

In order to unify the navy, Zhou Shixiang just issued a navy transfer order.

The former East Sea Division Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zanxu were the First Fleet and the Second Fleet; the former Liu Guoxuan Division was the Third Fleet; the former Yang Ying Division was the Fourth Fleet, commanded by Xiao Gongchen and Yang Ying as deputy; the former Yangtze River The division is the Fifth Fleet, and the fleet commander is Guo Faguang, the former commander of the Zhejiang Army. In addition, Chen Yonghua was appointed to command the Sixth Fleet to stay in Jinsha. The navy of the expeditionary army and the navy of the Guangdong navy, which were originally under the command of Guangdong, will remain unchanged for the time being.

After the integration, the Daming Navy has a total of nearly 1,000 ships of various sizes, more than 3,000 artillery pieces, and more than 30,000 sailors. Among them, there are 142 warships and 26 fire dragons.

According to the plan made by the military department, in addition to leaving 130 warships of the Sixth Fleet under the command of Gan Hui in Jinxia to deal with the possible invasion of the red-haired ghost, the rest of the warships will go north to participate in the Liaodong War. The fleets will join forces at Chongming at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Zhou Shixiang will also board the ship from there. In addition to the money, grain, and supplies equipped in Jinxia, ​​the ships will also be stopped for shipment in Zhoushan, Chongming and other places along the way.

The "territorial sealing order" was conveyed to the bottom six days ago, and the soldiers and civilians were instructed in various ways. Every port along the coast was also full of recruitment notices, all of which used "territorial closure" to attract ordinary fishermen to join the army.

Being able to be a "lord" in Liaodong has become an attractive policy that is higher than the township chief, magistrate, and even the prefect. Many fishermen along the coast take risks and sign up to join the army to go north. out to sea.

The morale of the sailors was high, and the enthusiasm of the Lu division was also mobilized. Considering that it would take two months for the navy to sail at sea to reach Liaodong, Zhou Shixiang ordered the troops that had previously been transported at sea to be transferred to the northward combat troops first, so that the participating troops could adapt to life at sea as soon as possible, and at the same time there were enough troops in the army. Veterans can teach recruits who haven't been on a ship how to survive at sea.

At the same time, Zhou Shitong built the Liaodong Field Army based on the three towns.

The main force of the newly formed Liaodong Field Army is the sixth town of Suna; the sixteenth town is adapted from the elite Lu Division of the former Zheng Xi subordinate, and the town general is Gan Hui; The seventeenth town was formed by recruiting battalions and guards with experience in naval battles from the nine towns.

How to transport more than 30,000 Lu divisions and artillery baggage to Liaodong in the north at one time was a big problem for the military, but when Zhou Shixiang told the generals of the naval division about this plan, these generals easily told King Qi. Your Highness, Xio said that there are more than 30,000 soldiers, that is, 100,000 soldiers, and they can easily transport people there.

Obviously, both the military staff and Zhou Shixiang had forgotten the excellent organization and transportation capabilities of the Zheng Army when it went north on a large scale last year. It can be said that the surrender of the Zheng Jun navy not only made Zhou Shi's strategic decision to exterminate the Manchus feasible, but also brought various experiences that the Taiping Army had never had before. These experiences are very valuable. For example, Zhou Shixiang once performed a sea jump landing operation in Guangdong, but he has carried out many times here in Zheng Jun, which can be said to be very experienced. This saves a lot of time and a lot of trouble.

The sixth town of Suna directly boarded the ship at Jinxia Port, but Gan Hui's sixteenth town and the seventeenth town of Han Chaozong were organized for a long-distance training from Jinxia to Songjiang. The reason for this arrangement is mainly that these two towns are newly reorganized, and the command system and the relationship between superiors and subordinates are in the process of running in. After coming to Liaodong in the future, it will be of great use. Therefore, on the premise that there is no time for a military exercise, organize Long-distance zipper training is undoubtedly a good way to exercise.

........

After the northbound order was issued, the Jinxia port was very lively. The grain carts crowded on the wharf a few days ago were gone, replaced by groups of soldiers dressed in red military uniforms stepping on the deck, and countless people seeing off their loved ones.

Liu Guoxuan's department was the first to receive the departure order, he nodded to his subordinates, and turned back to the cabin. This person has always been taciturn, and this time he went abroad to the north, but he was ordered to do so. Staying on the deck and looking down to see off the crowd for a long time made him feel suffocated.

Xiao Gongchen didn't see Liu Guoxuan on the shore, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and bowed his hands to Huang Zhao, who came to see off on behalf of the King of Fujian, Zheng Xi: "It's not too early, I'm leaving too, there's Lao Huang there. Brother."

Although Huang Zhao still had anger and injustice in his chest, the navy was going to Liaodong this time to fight the Tartars. No matter how dissatisfied he was with the King of Qi, he would definitely not discuss the matter and say something to the navy. Disappointing words. What's more, he is now on behalf of Zheng Xilai to see off the sailors, and most of the sailors are the former generals of the Zheng family. It is even more impossible for him to say something that will make people guess Zhou Shixiang badly~www.wuxiaspot.com ~ That would affect Zheng Xi, who had gone to the southern capital with Zhou Shixiang.

"Take care of you and have a smooth journey!"

Huang Zhao sighed, ordered his followers to bring his mount, and left Jinsha to chase Zheng Xi. After arriving in Nandu, he will work in Dali Temple.

Zhou Quanbin, who was appointed as the left-behind envoy of Jinxia, ​​brought a group of left-behind subordinates to the wharf to see him off. As soon as he arrived, he saw Huang Zhao riding away without saying hello.

Zhou Quanbin's subordinates were a little angry, but Zhou Quanbin didn't care. Before the big guy returned to the court, he and Huang Zhao were not the same people, so why did they have to get together. Xiao Gongchen and Zhou Quanbin, who were about to get on the boat, had a good relationship and came over to say hello. After some courtesies, Xiao Gongchen asked Zhou Quanbin about the manor's surname worriedly. Zhou Quanbin said that his wife took Mr. Zhi to the front station in Anping yesterday, and the coffin of the domain lord will be escorted by Mr. Cong to Anping for burial later.

Xiao Gongchen was relieved and said goodbye to Zhou Quanbin. Zhou Quanbin told him to take care of his younger brother Zhou Quanyun, Xiao Gongchen replied with a smile, saying that he would take care of himself.

Soon, the warships of Xiao Gongchen's department also left the port one by one. After all, there is a big war going north this time, and there are great risks. Therefore, there will inevitably be crying voices in the send-off crowd, but these voices will soon disappear. After all, relatives Going to war, I am saddened, crying and sighing.

In the crowd, there was a special figure, but it was a young monk, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The monk had been at the dock since the morning, and he waited until the last warship left the port before he took his eyes back from the sea, and then squeezed out of the crowd without saying a word.

The monk's eyes seemed a little gloomy.
