"Although the threat from the Qing army has been temporarily lifted, we should not take it lightly." Yuan Zongdi said cautiously: "How about this, let Mr. Huang make the decision?"

Hao Yaoqi nodded in agreement and said: "This is the best. Mr. Huang's judgment on the Qing army's action time is still very accurate."

This is not an exaggeration at all. Huang Li really took the time to act, but it gave people a very confident feeling.

In fact, Li Laiheng and others also obtained a lot of information. The Qing army gathered in three groups, and the scheduled attack time was probably at the end of November or early December.

In other words, there is nearly a month to attack Wushan. Moreover, the Qing army in Huguang was completely defeated, and it will take a long time to reorganize, which will definitely delay the Qing army's three-way attack plan.

As they were talking, a messenger hurried over and reported: "The Duke of the State, the supervisor of the army, Eunuch Pan, is back, as well as the governor Jiang Shangying."

Oh? Li Laiheng was a little surprised and looked at Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi, as if he was asking for their opinions.

"Perhaps he was sent by Duke Jing to check the authenticity of the third prince." Yuan Zongdi guessed and said, "Since you are here, just treat him with courtesy."

Hao Yaoqi smiled and said: "In the attack on Wushan, it would be better if Duke Jing can send troops to help."

Li Laiheng nodded and said: "Then let's go and see him, and let's hear what Duke Jing means."

Although Jiang Shangying was a civil official or a governor, now is no longer an era that values ​​civility over military affairs. Soldiers are the boss. Therefore, there is respect, but not much.

There are currently only eight Ming armies left in Kuidong. The seven armies are relatively united, and only the Duke of Jing Guangxing is left. If they can unite and fight against the enemy together, their strength and chance of winning will be increased.

………………

There are only four days until the troops are sent out to fight, but Huang Li is relaxed.

All work is on track. The rules and training plans he formulated are being implemented by the people below, and there is no need for him to personally do it.

On the river, ships advanced and retreated, rehearsing the formations and tactics of water battles.

The small boats rushing at the front are the fastest and most flexible. Long poles extend out in front of the boats, which can resist the fire ships released by the enemy down the river.

In the middle is a larger ship. The long pole of the trebuchet is erected. In front of the ship is a sheltering wooden board like a wall. There are about a dozen archers on each ship, who can shoot arrows, and there are also ten pikemen.

, can get close to fight.

At the end are the rocket launchers, which come in all sizes. Even the smallest ship is equipped with eight rocket launchers. Together, all the rocket launchers can project nearly 300 rockets at the same time.

With only three salvoes, it is estimated that all the water war rockets produced these days will be destroyed. Thinking of this, Huang Li couldn't help but take a breath, feeling very painful.

Water warfare rockets are different from land warfare rockets. The main reason is that a sharp iron arrow is installed on the front end, which can penetrate into the ship plate.

There is no way, the explosive fuse is too high-end. If Huang Li wants to make it, it will take a lot of time and it will be difficult to mass-produce it.

The shortcomings of the delayed lead are not a big deal on land. But in a water battle, if you fall on a ship, you may bounce into the water, or be kicked into the river by the enemy.

Under the command of gongs and drums, the ships moved forward and backward, dispersed to join, and outflanked, which made Huang Li quite gratified.

In ten days and a half, it is already quite good to be able to practice to this level.

Although it is still part of the navy, Huang Li has divided it into a battle fleet, which will continue to expand and grow, and he has high hopes for it.

"This may be the key to breaking the situation, and it is also the basis for future dragons to conquer the world. A powerful navy, invincible in all directions, will make the Qingtong District along the Yangtze River very dangerous and difficult to defend against."

Huang Li couldn't help but smile cheerfully as he watched the largest ship sailing majestically on the river. That was his flagship, named "Polu".

"Sir, Governor Jiang has come to pay a visit." Zhao Xiaochuan led someone from a distance and bowed to salute.

Huang Li was a little confused. He didn't recognize the governor and had never heard of it!

The junior official who accompanied Jiang Shangying was sent by Li Laiheng, and he quickly explained it before Huang Li understood.

"Does the Duke have any reminders?" Huang Li asked.

The junior official replied: "The Duke only said, Sir, please do whatever you want."

Casual? This explanation is really casual.

Huang Li scratched his head and looked at the gift list presented. He didn't have time to show his enthusiasm, so he stood up and said: "Then let's meet!"

As an official who can take the stage, he has to come and see his mascot. Huang Li is used to this, or he is numb.

The status of the third prince is considered to be that of a prince. I am the secret envoy sent by him, which is equivalent to the imperial envoy "as if I were here in person".

This unknown governor in history, I still deserve to say hello to him.

Jiang Shangying tidied up his official uniform, and with a feeling of apprehension and expectation, accompanied by his entourage, walked towards the seating shed on the shore.

When Huang Li walked out of the studio, Jiang Shangying's eyes froze and his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.

The sun shines from the side, casting a faint halo on Huang Li's shoulders and back. He wears a leather helmet, which is both light and powerful, revealing his tall figure.

Although he is dressed in warrior attire, Huang Li's face is still not tanned. Especially compared with his contemporaries, he is definitely fair and clean.

"Mr. Jiang, please be polite." Huang Li cupped his hands and said hello in a loud voice.

"Bai Xifengxia, the vision is very good. Well, the voice is like a bell. It's right, it's all right!"

Jiang Shangying suppressed his extreme excitement and hurriedly returned the gift, "Jiang Shangying, the lower official, has met Huang Zunshi."

The third prince, he is already a corporal of courtesy and virtue just by handing over his hand. This should be the profile and the appearance.

"Master Jiang, this is a courtesy!" Huang Li extended his hand and said with a smile: "Please speak inside."

Jiang Shangying humbly yielded and followed Huang Li into the banquet tent. After sitting down, the guards served tea and then left the banquet tent.

"Mr. Jiang is always at the Duke of Jing's residence. Are you here on behalf of the Duke of Jing?" Huang Li picked up the tea bowl, saluted him from afar, and asked.

Jiang Shangying shook his head and said: "I am just sending a gift to Ambassador Huang on behalf of Duke Jing, and asking Ambassador Huang to say hello to the third prince on his behalf."

Huang Li took a sip of tea and asked: "Shizhou Guard is relatively remote and far away from the Yangtze River. It is very difficult to deploy troops and generals. It is understandable that Duke Jing did not participate in several operations."
