The Navy Governor's Office went south in two directions. After arriving in Shanghai, the magistrate came to welcome him. Li Yanzhi set up the Navy Governor's Office on the bank of the Songjiang River and announced that the imperial court would set Shanghai as the location of the General Administration of the Maritime Control Bureau, and fully took over the military and political power here.

When the magistrate heard that Governor Li was going to open a market in Shanghai, he brought officials, courtesy, soldiers, punishments, households, and work officials to obey the orders. The officials and officials were eager to try their luck and thought that since the opening of the market, there were great benefits to get, and there was a lot of oil and water to make money. Li Yanzhi had such a look. He glanced over and saw that these people looked like thieves and were extremely slippery, so he didn't use any of them, but asked Zhang Yue to take charge of this matter. The cadres used were all students who graduated from the Six Art Hall. As for the staff, they would rather recruit talents from the market than use old officials in the government.

At the same time as the Maritime Bureau's affairs, the army was also deployed. The troops who followed Li Yanzhi south this time had 15,000 troops in the Land War Department, 32,000 naval divisions, and more than 280 warships of all sizes. Li Yan directly took charge of the Baoshan District, placed the Land War Department here, and deployed the Navy. The core of the 32,000 naval division was about 5,000 Jilong Village troops brought by Zhang Yue. Li Yanzhi was the main force of the Navy's Navy's headquarters, placed it in the water village at the mouth of the Huangpu River, and sent Lin Bichuan to Daqi Island outside the Yangtze River estuary, Xu Yuanliang to Xiaoqi Island, Hong Dizhen to Yangshan Island south of Xiaoqi Island, and dispatched the original soldiers of Jinshanwei to enter Danhu Mountain, twenty miles outside the Jinshanwei coastline. After this arrangement, Shanghai's offshore defense line became.

After the deployment was set, Hong Dizhen, Zhou Wenbao and others came to urge Li Yanzhi to go south quickly to avoid attacks by the generals. However, Li Yanzhi said: "Hurryness will not lead to success. Now we will take the army south, which will only be slower." He only sent Xu Yuanliang to test, but Xu Yuanliang encountered Chen Sipan's ambush near Daqu Mountain.

During the period when Wang Zhi went north, Chen Sipan vigorously recruited his subordinates, including seven major water villages, with more than 10,000 troops. Xu Yuanliang did not dare to confront him head-on, and went around the west to avoid his edge. However, he was blocked by Yu Qi in the area of ​​Donghuoshan outside Hangzhou Bay.

It turned out that after Wang Zhi defeated the mountain, he spread rumors in the seas of Nanzhili and Zhejiang and Fujian, saying that Li Yanzhi betrayed the people of Donghai and led a large army from Tianjin to kill all the maritime pirates. This rumor is actually not all rumors, because Li Yanzhi did make Wang Zhi's faction bad in the Beijing-Tianjin area. At this time, Wang Zhi did not need to make up stories, but only told Chen Sipan, Yu Qi and others about how Li Yanzhi dealt with him. After hearing this, these people

There was no need to panic. In just half a month, tens of thousands of people surrendered to Wang Zhi, who begged for shelter. Some of the larger leaders, such as Chen Sipan, Yu Qi, Deng Wenjun, etc., were unwilling to surrender to Wang Zhi, but they were each guarding each other. When Li Yan arrived in Shanghai, it was even more of the style of the regular army of the Celestial Dynasty! Chen Sipan, Yu Qi and others were afraid, and after listening to Wang Zhi's words, they took preconceptions and were deeply wary of Xu Yuanliang's troops coming down from the north.

The number of these pirates in eastern Zhejiang was no less than 100,000, and more than 1,000 warships were more than 100,000. In this area, they were local snakes and were familiar with the surrounding sea routes. It was difficult for these people to spread out when they were dispersed. However, when they resisted together, Li Yanzhi felt very difficult. He knew that he would go south to the east of Zhejiang and could not avoid these people. He sent people to order the villages to surrender, but the villages closed the gates and refused to come out.

Xu Yuanliang received Li Yanzhi's warning and did not go south again. He only sent ships to the islands in eastern Zhejiang to promote Li Yanzhi's "pacification" meaning. However, no one in eastern Zhejiang was willing to believe it, so he stepped up his guard to prevent the Northern Division from attacking. Only a few small groups of maritime merchants took the risk of being recruited and brought shocking news to Xu Yuanliang: Wang Zhi and Poshan had already led the crowd to south and attacked the officials! After Xu Yuanliang received the news, he quickly reported to the Navy Governor's Office.

Wang Mumin's old subordinate was worried about the foundation of the senior officials, so he urged Li Yanzhi to send troops quickly, but Zhang Yue opposed it and said, "If you want to reach the senior officials by sea, you have to pass through Zhejiang Sea first. Now all islands and villages on the sea surface of Zhejiang regard us as great enemies. Should our fleet go south first, should we clean up these island villages first, or should we rush down with them? If we don't clean up these island villages first, what should we do if we encounter an ambush in the middle? Or after we arrive in the Minhai, the thieves in Zhejiang and Wang Zhi who had entered the Dazhong Strait attack us through the mountain. What should we do then? But we must clean up these island villages on the coast of Zhejiang first, not to mention that our current navy strength may not be enough, but we have enough strength. After we clean up East Zhejiang and then head south, there will be no time to go south."

Li Yanzhi agreed and comforted the generals and said, "Zhang Yue said so much. I have said a long time ago that haste will not be achieved."

Zhou Wenbao asked: "But if Wang Zhi and the others really defeated the senior official, what should we do then?"

"I have already sent Yifan to the south." Li Yanzhi said: "Wang Wufeng and Poshan took the lead in this matter, and it is expected that this situation will be expected. But if Wu Ping and the others can do what I said, at least they can't ask for it. But if Wu Ping and the others have been wiped out before we arrived, then we will just let Wang Zhi and Poshan defeat each other. So what we have to do now is to dig out Wang Wufeng and the others - as long as they dig out their roots, even if they temporarily gain the upper hand, the other party will not be able to continue after a long time."

The generals asked: "What is their root? How do you dig their roots?"

Li Yanzhi said with a sneer and said, "Their root is overseas trade. Wang Zhi started his business by banning the sea. To dig their roots, it is to open the market department and let the goods in the world gather in our place. All the merchants in the East China Sea will be disloyal to Wang Wufeng and abandon Wang Zhi and submit to me. At that time, he will be weaker in the East China Sea. The general trend of the East China Sea will naturally turn to me."

Li Yijiu asked again: "But what if they occupy the senior officials?"

"It is not scary for them to occupy the senior officials for a while. What is scary is that our Penghu Navy has been destroyed, but the senior officials have become their supply land. However, what situation will turn out depends on how Wu Ping and Yuting deal with it."

Before Li Yan arrived in Shanghai, the chicken coop had already discovered the enemy.

After Wang Zhi and Poshan headed south, they spent some time to absorb new people, annex the fleet, spread rumors, Poshan spent a lot of effort to persuade Wang Zhi to let Jiajing go, but he did not expect that Li Yanzhi did not choose to take Jiajing first, but could boldly mediate the balance between the two capitals and go to Shanghai first without entering Nanjing. In this way, Poshan's plan was also disrupted. He originally thought that he had a few months to guide the Southeast, but Li Yanzhi arrived in Shanghai much earlier than he expected.

"It seems like I lost 20% again." Poshan murmured to himself.

"You have lost all long ago! You just refused to admit it!" A weak voice came from a jar in the corner, but this sentence greatly stimulated Poshan.

"Yes, I've lost almost the same amount. But I won't give up, and I'll fight to the end!"

"But what are you doing if you continue fighting? When you broke out, you could say that you were different from him and didn't make any plans. You thought he was destined to fail, so you had to take everyone on another path, but now? Now he is going to succeed. Is it interesting if you continue to get entangled like this?"

Poshan's pupils contracted and he shouted angrily: "Stop it!" He walked out and closed the hatch door heavily!

After Poshan and Wang Zhi joined forces, there were more than 300 ships of all sizes and sizes, with a force of nearly 40,000. After arriving in the eastern Zhejiang sea, many fishing boats that could be used for offshore combat were collected, including Haicangzhou, and more than 20,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals. They went south along the north wind and captured the chicken cage that was empty due to Zhang Yue's advance to the north.

In recent years, Chen Yuting developed the seniors mainly concentrated in the south, and the development level in the northern region was not high. Moreover, the southern and northern parts of Dayuan Island were basically separated by land and there was no smooth land transportation. Usually, the Chicken Cang and Penghu were mainly connected to the southern part of Dayuan. Therefore, after Poshan and Wang Zhi captured the Chicken Cang, they were unable to go south along the land. To obtain the elite areas of Dayuan, naval battles were still needed.

At about this moment, Jiang Yifan arrived in Penghu.

He traveled day and night, even buried his real name on the road from Yangzhou Prefecture to Hangzhou, staying overnight in hotels and not staying in inns to avoid interference from political disputes between the north and the south. He did not take out the customs again after passing Hangzhou. When he arrived in Fuzhou, he notified Yang Yu, Zhan Zhen and others to Shanghai to obey the orders, but he did not stop and arrived in Zhangzhou, and then arrived in Penghu under the cover of Zhang Wei.

At this time, the news of Wang Zhi defeating the mountain to capture the chicken cage had reached Penghu. He heard that Wang Wufeng's army had 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the generals were panicked. Penghu Water Village was also determined to fight to the death, but Wu Ping was quite hesitant about the strategy of fighting and defending. After seeing Jiang Yifan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yifan, you came in time!"

Jiang Yifan laughed lightly and said, "I didn't bring a shot and a shot, I only brought a pair of fists, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

"I don't want you to go to war." Wu Ping was not jokingly: "I just want to listen to the third young master..."

"Don't call me the third young master," Jiang Yifan corrected: "The third young master is now the governor! Call me the governor!"

Since Wu Ping, the generals were inspired by the news when they heard this news. Li Yanzhi became a high-ranking official, so as long as they survived this battle, their future prospects would be bright.

"Governor, Governor...hehe." Wu Ping seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this name: "Okay, Governor is Governor, but he is Governor, what official should we be granted? Is he the Deputy Governor?"

Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "The governor is not called the deputy governor, but the governor is called the governor and the governor. However, for a while, everyone will not be promoted there. But we are the governor's 'our own people'. As long as he is above and as long as he passes this level, we will sooner or later be able to get our turn."

"I've been through this level, and I've been through this level..." Wu Ping snorted and said, "I heard that Wang Wufeng ate three times in the north... After suffering a great loss from the governor, the ships in his hand are probably not as good as my Penghu warships, and the equipment should not be as good as mine. But the problem is that I only have 7,000 elite aircraft and more than 100 warships, which are much smaller than Wang Wufeng. Not only are they enough ships, but they also have enough people. If there are too many ants, they bite the elephant to death. If we really fight, we may not be able to win even if we have the advantage of the geographical advantage. Even so, I still hope that they will come to Penghu. If they attack and defend, I am still sure to defend. In addition, the southern chief Cai Ershui, the Yuegang Zhang Wei's army, and the third-line joint defense, can be defended for a long time. But what I'm afraid of is that they don't attack me, but go to the senior officer first. Cai Ershui can't resist..."

"Your worries make sense." Jiang Yifan said: "The governor also believes that Poshan will not come to attack Penghu first, he will definitely attack the senior officials first. He will also drive the shrimp soldiers and crab generals he has just recruited as the forwards. If you intercept him, he will use these shrimp soldiers and crabs to consume our elites in the future."

When Wu Ping heard that Li Yanzhi's prediction coincided with him, his brows frowned even more: "If this is the case, I will be in trouble. Penghu Water Village faces the 60,000 to 70,000 people rushing from the north. It is okay to defend Penghu and charge. It is difficult to protect the coastline of the hundreds of miles of the Southern Master at the same time. When will the governor's army arrive? If we can arrive earlier and attack us in front and behind, we may be able to win."

"The governor will come as soon as possible, but we can't count on that." Jiang Yifan said: "The governor thought that Wang Wufeng and Poshan would inevitably set up obstacles on the eastern Zhejiang sea before they headed south. Besides, our fleet set off later than the other party. When the governor arrived here, the battle situation here was determined."

Wu Ping snorted: "So we can only rely on ourselves, right?"

"good."

"What about the order he gave me?" Wu Ping said: "It's okay for him to fight until the last battle, but don't give me a task that cannot be completed!"

"The governor's order is not like this, only ten words."

"What ten words?"

"Don't fight to the death, don't support the enemy, adapt to the situation."

Wu Ping raised his eyebrows, as if he heard the sound of the fairy music: "Does this cross command be told only to me, or should Yuting obey the order?"

"Of course he has to obey the orders."

Wu Ping was overjoyed and smiled and said, "If this is the case, then it will be easy!" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in.qidian., more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!) (To be continued)
