Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 234 Europa

It is said that it rains for four or five days in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise it will never stop.

This is too much to say, it has been raining continuously for half a month, but looking at the current situation, there is still no sign of stopping, and there is a musty smell everywhere, which makes Jia Ying feel very uncomfortable.

This battle, it seems a bit ridiculous to fight here.

At the very beginning, the rebels would occasionally sneak attack on the Qianjun camp, because without firearms, as long as the Qianjun was well-defended, it would be almost impossible for the rebels to break through the camp.When the two sides meet with short blades, it is often the dry army that has the upper hand. The armor of the large dry army is not vegetarian.

But in fact, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court did not take much advantage.

Most of the large-scale soldiers wear cloth armor. Cloth armor is not armor made of cloth, but instead of the original armor leaves exposed, it is now wrapped in cotton cloth.

This is also beneficial, as the enemy cannot see the gap between the armor leaves, and it is difficult for the enemy's weapon to pierce the body of the dry army soldier through the gap.Then, the iron armor is wrapped in cotton cloth, which can greatly prolong the service life of the armor and slow down the rusting speed of the armor leaf to a certain extent.

It's just that with the continuous rain, the air is humid, and there is no sunlight, the weight of the cloth armor is increasing, and the armor leaves wrapped in it are starting to rust, and the wet armor is easy to make soldiers sick and infected.

Because of this, both sides are exercising restraint.

The only good news for the officers and soldiers is that the drizzle, which lasted for nearly half a month, gave the Nanjing Ministry of War time to dispatch troops, and troops from various guards were continuously transferred to the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou to participate in the siege of the rebels .

Jia Ying's army and Lin Ruhai's temperate army have already connected the city.

Good news also came from the land of Quzhou.

Under the siege of Jiangxi Dusi and Huben Youwei, the rebels who went south to Quzhou were driven into a depression. Even if it was a drizzle, it was precious and constant. After so many days, the depression had already turned into a country. In the absence of food and water and no logistics lines, the life of the rebels is very difficult.

Some people may ask, why is there a shortage of water when it is raining?
Because the rainwater there has soaked the corpses, you can't drink it directly, it will kill you.

After persisting for seven or eight days, the rebels walked out of the camp one after another and surrendered to the officers and soldiers.

The situation has developed to the current situation, and the army of rebels is no longer a threat. Jia Ying is even more worried about the disease after the rain.

Many people died in Jiaxing Mansion, and many of the corpses were not buried or burned in time, and are now piled in the mud and left to soak in the rain, swollen and rotted.

The east wind can't blow in, and the musty smell in the air can't dissipate. At this time, people appear extremely fragile.

It's not that Jia Ying is unfounded, but some soldiers in the army have already started to have fever and cough.

The ravages of disease brought lethality to the ancient army, to a certain extent, far surpassed the casualties of the two armies fighting.

"My lord, we don't have enough food and grass in the barracks. If we continue to do this for half a month, I'm afraid the army will starve." Wei Dongping had already taken off his armor at this moment, and was wearing a cloth shirt. With his injured arm, a look of worry appeared on his face.

Jia Ying, who was also dressed in home clothes, stood at the door of the big tent, watching the soldiers build a platform under the tent again in the rain, glanced at Wei Dongping's injured arm, and said:
"You'd better go back and warm up the fire, so that the wound may heal faster, and it won't be pus."

Under such conditions, his arm, even if it is not half useless, will have sequelae in the future.

"Ugh!"

Wei Dongping let out a long sigh and said, "Where is the general in the mood to sit down at this moment, the battle is so frustrating, you can't advance, you can't retreat, and the humiliation of defeat can't be washed away."

"Be calm."

Jia Ying explained: "Wars are not just based on fighting. There are many factors that determine the outcome of a battle. In this situation, it depends on who can't hold it first."

Wei Dongping sighed and nodded: "The last general also understands this truth, but he just feels aggrieved."

Hearing this, Jia Ying took a deep look at Wei Dongping, and said with a smile, "I think you have lost face after hearing about Yang Dayong's achievements."

Wei Dongping smiled sheepishly and said: "The three of us went out together with the adults, but now I am the only one who has lost the battle, those two guys, maybe how can they laugh at the last general at this moment."

"It's a good thing to be brave after knowing your shame." Jia Ying gave the other party an affirmative.

These days, he didn't pay much attention to Wei Dongping, and he still hasn't made a decision on how to deal with him.

To govern the army, one should not blindly use tough methods. The purpose of questioning crimes is also to arouse the generals' sense of honor and disgrace.

It's true that Wei Dongping was defeated, but he couldn't beat someone to death with a single stick.

If Wei Dongping was to be held accountable for his defeat, wouldn't all the guards in Zhejiang deserve to die.

"However, you'd better put away your moaning and sighing, so as not to affect the soldiers in the army."

The weather is gloomy, and people's mood will inevitably be affected. Coupled with the previous fiasco, the morale of the army is already very low.

"I will understand at the end."

"As for the issue of food and grass, let's wait and see."

Jia Ying looked in the direction of Songjiang Mansion in Jiaxing from a distance, he believed that the enemies there would have a worse life than them.

It took six days to wait like this. So far, this drizzle has been falling for nearly 20 days.

20 days without interruption, no matter how light the rain is, no matter how developed the water system in the south of the Yangtze River, the river cannot accommodate it.

The sky cleared very slowly. On the seventh day, there were still overcast clouds covering the sun. When people looked up, they could only faintly see a circle of red hanging in the air. It was warm, but still did not illuminate the earth.

But even so, the soldiers still showed joyful smiles. Only their chief general was staring at the map with a serious face at the moment, holding the military information from various scouts in his hand.

The sky is fine, which means that the war will continue, and casualties are inevitable.

"Withdrawn?"

Jia Ying looked at the letter paper sent by Lin Ruhai, the rebels who entered Suzhou retreated back to Songjiang Mansion.

It seemed that the other party couldn't stand it anymore.

Speaking of this protracted light rain, it really came in time.

According to Lin Ruhai, Chongming Island has been attacked several times by Japanese pirates. They don't know where they learned new shipbuilding technology, as well as new muskets, whose firing speed is several times that of Huomen guns.

The firearms are the most equipped in the Dagan army, which is commonly known as firecrackers or three-eyed firecrackers. This kind of firearms is relatively low in cost, has a low hit rate, is complicated to operate, and has a low firing rate.

The use of new muskets caused Zhenhaiwei and Chongmingwei a big loss.

It's just that no one expected that a rain disrupted the plan of the rebels, and also saved Chongming Island, so that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River would not be corrupted.

"My lord, the sentry cavalry is back." Wei Dongping walked in quickly.

"What's the matter?" Jia Ying asked hastily.

"As expected, the Japanese pirates from Shitang Bay have withdrawn to Tongxiang, and the rebels who escaped from Hangzhou have also arrived in Haining. It seems that they are going to flee to Haining Guard. They are ready to escape." Wei Dongping's eyes lit up, The enemy flees and pursues, this is exactly the time to beat the dog in the water.

Haining County is not too far from Hangzhou. That day, Jia Ying rushed there with Tiance Guards, united with the defenders in the city, and attacked the rebels who were besieging Hangzhou City. However, the rebels ran too fast, and Jia Ying The troops were limited, and for the sake of safety, there was no pursuit. Later, the news of the defeat of the Yingwu guards was received.

Haining Guard is not stationed in Haining County, but in Haiyan County on the east coast of Haining County. Further east of Haiyan County is the sea.

"My lord, give the order. If you don't chase him, he will run away." Wei Dongping encouraged him from the side.

After a moment of silence, Jia Ying asked, "Where is Tian Cewei?"

"We've already passed Yuhang."

"Send someone to inform them that they don't need to come to Xinshi, and go directly eastward towards Chang'an Town. Let's pursue in two ways, and try to stop these Japanese pirates before they reach Haining County, and then"

Jia Ying stretched out five fingers, made a false grip on the map, and said fiercely: "Eat it!"

The Japanese pirates on the opposite side were not that many, Yingwuwei and Tiancewei teamed up and the number exceeded [-]. Although the rain had stopped, the air was still humid and the muskets were limited. It was a good opportunity for the dry army infantry to fight.

As soon as he said it, Jia Ying wrote letters to the friendly troops around him, and at the same time sent people to inform Tian Cewei, leading the army to chase in the direction of Tongxiang.

Three days later, the army had already appeared in Haining County. At the same time, Lianzhong, the commander of Zhejiang Dusi, also brought his men and horses to join Jia Ying's army.

The total number of soldiers and horses on both sides exceeds eight thousand.

Accompanied by Wei Dongping, Jia Ying is inspecting the trophies of the former Japanese pirates.

Jia Ying looked up and glanced at the rattan armor and leather armor that had been ripped off from the Japanese pirates piled on the ground, without stopping his gaze for even a second.

Most of the Japanese pirates who went to sea to be pirates were warriors who were defeated in the local power struggle. Their wealth had long been dispersed, so what good things could they have until Jia Ying saw a piece of armor.

"Bamboo armor?"

Jia Ying ordered someone to take out the bamboo armor with great interest.

"My lord, these Japanese pirates are too poor, they don't even have a few sets of iron armor. It is said that this bamboo armor was taken from their leader. It is not a valuable thing." Wei Dongping said from the side.

Jia Ying shook her head when she heard the words: "Don't underestimate this thing, ordinary swords are really impenetrable, and the cost of a pair of bamboo armor is definitely lower than ordinary cloth armor, and more importantly, this thing All have collection value."

"Collection value?" Wei Dongping, a warrior, doesn't understand these things, but he understands Jia Ying's words, just like those literati calligraphy and paintings, rare antiques, there are always people who like these things.

"That's right. In Dongpu, not everyone is qualified to wear bamboo armor. Could it be that what we met was a down-and-out daimyo?"

Jia Ying glanced at it, then told Xi'er beside her, "Put it away."

"Where's the firearm?"

"My lord, this way please." Wei Dongping led the way, and all the weapons seized from the Japanese pirates were put in a warehouse.

Jia Ying stepped into the warehouse, first glanced at the Japanese knives piled up on one side, and then turned to the neatly arranged muskets on the side.

"Bird gun?" Jia Ying casually picked up a handful, held it in his hand and looked at it.

The frontier army and the Beijing camp were also equipped with some bird guns, but they are both called bird guns, and their essential structures are still different.

The bird guns equipped in the frontier army got such a name only because the muzzle looks like a bird’s beak, but most of the bird guns are in essence no different from the fire gun or the three-eyed gun. The door gun requires manual placement of the lead wire before firing.

The scientific name of the blunderbuss in front of me should be matchlock guns. This is not the first time Jia Ying has seen them. The Weapons Bureau also has this kind of muskets, and they can be seen occasionally among the frontier troops, but they have never had a lot of equipment.

The reason is also very simple, nothing more than the problem of cost and craftsmanship.

In fact, there is not much difference between the filling and ammunition of the matchlock gun and the fire door gun. The only difference lies in the matchlock and the excitation of sub-powder by the trigger.

Another thing is that the barrel is relatively long, the shooting range is long, and the aim is relatively stable, but this can also be achieved by the big guns.

"Put all these things away, they will be useful in the future." Jia Ying lacked interest and was happy for nothing.

After he knew the arquebus, there was the flintlock, but because of the current chaos, it was very different from what he remembered, and he was not sure when the flintlock would come out.

When receiving Lin Ruhai's letter, Jia Ying was still a little worried. If the Japanese pirates were all equipped with flintlock guns, then the firearms of the dry army would be far behind.

The flintlock gun is loaded with ammunition at the back, but at present, whether it is a fire door gun or a matchlock gun, it is front-loaded with gunpowder.

After reading it, Jia Ying's heart fell into his stomach, as long as he didn't fall too far behind.

"My lord, Commander Lian is here to visit." Xi'er ran over and said.

Lian Zhong?

In the living room, Jia Ying met Lian Zhong, the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command.

"Master Lian is polite."

"Lord Jia, Lian hasn't thanked Master Jia for leading the troops to break the siege of Hangzhou. The last time I sent someone to invite him, I didn't expect it to be a step too late."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Jia Ying shook her head and said, "Master Lian, sit down. I don't know why Master Lian is looking for Jia."

Jia Ying didn't want to have too many entanglements with Lian Zhong. After the chaos in Zhejiang was settled down, he might not be able to keep himself as the commander.

Today's tragic situation in Zhejiang is inseparable from Lian Zhong's incompetence.

"Lord Jia, Lian has received the news that the rebels in Jiaxing Mansion are gathering at Hainingwei and Zhapu Stations, and they are boarding a ship. Now is a good time for our army to pursue the encirclement and suppression. I don't know, Lord Jia."

Is this trying to win?

The imperial court's order to appoint him governor of the Jiangnan Navy has been sent to Zhejiang a few days ago. Now Fujian, Zhejiang, and even the navy in South Zhili are under his control.

Lian Zhong knew that he had made a serious mistake this time, and the court would pursue him afterwards, and he would not be able to escape, so he thought of motivating himself.

Jia Ying shook his head inwardly, but a bitter smile appeared on his face and said: "Master Lian, there is a saying that poor bandits should not chase after them. The most important thing right now is to restore the people's livelihood in Zhejiang Province, not to chase down bandits. Besides, If you want to go to sea to chase the thief, you must have ships and soldiers, but now the navy from all over the world is not here, even if Jia Ying wants to, there is nothing he can do."

Lian Zhong thought things too simply.

There is no need for land battles in sea battles. Those bandits have been plundering at sea for a living for many years. They are far more familiar with the sea than Jia Ying himself. He is not a god and knows everything.

Judging from the information collected from various places, the sea power of those bandits is not weak, otherwise, they would not have been entangled with the Dagan Navy for so many years, but they have already occupied the coastal islands.

As for the rebels along the Haiyan and Zhapu routes who hadn't had time to board the ship in the future, Jia Ying was also not interested.

The army brought from Jinling has been exhausted since the conquest until today. The weather has finally cleared up, and the soldiers have no will to continue fighting. As for the guards in Zhejiang Province
Jia Ying shook her head, trusting them is better than trusting a pig.

"Lord Jia, this opportunity is rare. As an official of the imperial court, how can I sit back and watch these rebels wreak havoc on the place and leave!" Lian Zhong said unrelentingly.

Jia Ying picked up the tea on the table, shook her head and said nothing.

"Since Mr. Jia is unwilling, then Lian will not force it. I, Zhejiang Dusi, will do it myself to chase down the rebels."

"Hmph!" Lian Zhong left angrily.

"Lord Lian, it's better to leave than to see you off, but please remember that without the order of the official, the Zhejiang capital is not allowed to go to sea. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by military law."

"You..." Lian Zhonghong turned his head and glared with a swollen face.

After all, he is a member of the imperial court of the third grade, but he bowed his head to beg today, but was turned away, everyone felt ashamed.

"Let's go and see!"

Jia Ying just pretended not to hear, he didn't want to see the Zhejiang navy, all buried in the fish's belly for Lian Zhong.

Obviously waiting for the rebels to retreat on their own is a great achievement, so why should Jia Ying take the risk?
He has no shortage of credit.

As for Lian Zhong's threat before he left, Jia Ying didn't take it seriously.

wait and see?Hmph, let's talk after you survive.

This is the case in Zhejiang, and it is the same in Suzhou and Songjiang Prefecture. The Japanese warships wandering outside Chongming Island have also been withdrawn, including the few small islands they occupied before.

A few days later, Lin Ruhai returned to Hangzhou again.

On the streets of Hangzhou city.

"Ying'er, you should be aware of the imperial court's intention to appoint you governor of the Jiangnan Navy. If the court officials know that you are stagnating at this moment, impeachment will be inevitable."

Jia Ying shook his head nonchalantly and said, "It's my intention, and I haven't made it clear. The coastal banditry has been in trouble for many years, and the court has not seen it to solve it. They still expect me to solve the chronic illness for many years. ? Besides, sea battles are no better than land battles, and I won’t go to sea if I’m not sure.”

"Then what are you going to do next?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"Let's go to the naval guards along the coast first. You have to find out the situation first. It's just that this time I went to Jiangnan to accompany my sisters on a trip, but now I'm temporarily arrested. I'm afraid it will be a while. Can not go back."

"If Ying'er wants to train sailors, she must have someone available to her."

When Jia Ying heard this, she looked at Lin Ruhai and asked, "Does my aunt have a suitable candidate?"

What Jia Ying is most worried about now is that there is no one in his hands. There should be some talented people in the Jiangnan Navy Guard, but he can't find them for a while.

Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile.

"There is a person in Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, who is the same age as me. This person may be able to help."

"Jinshi?" Jia Ying asked curiously, if it was a Jinshi who was in the same discipline as Lin Ruhai, he might not be able to command.

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "After he failed in the guild test, he returned to his hometown to take up the position of his ancestors. He first served as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, and then went to Guangdong with Master Ye, and participated in the Tuen Mun naval battle with Frangji. , but later because he offended the eunuch, he was impeached and ruled without saying a word, and connived at the crime of smuggling by his officers and soldiers, and was beaten back to his original place of origin. When he was promoted to the Ministry of Officials, he was also promoted to a higher level, and now he is a commander and acquaintance."

Having participated in the Tuen Mun Naval Battle, brought out by Ye Baichuan, Jia Ying instantly became interested.

"Who is this person?"

"My surname is Qi."

Jia Ying's heart skipped a beat, it won't be. Impossible.

"Famous Yaozong."

Jiguang and Yaozong, the names are quite similar.

It seems that the two Song Lun brothers came from Dengzhou Wei.

Jia Ying silently wrote down the name of this person, and her thoughts turned to Zhejiang now.

"Uncle, I heard that many prefectures and counties in Zhejiang Province were flooded, and many people died."

Lin Ruhai nodded, with a serious expression on his face, he said: "After this bandit turmoil, Zhejiang province is devastated. If the summer rice harvest is not good, the land of fish and rice will be short of food. And the following counties It has been reported that dysentery, typhoid and febrile disease have started to spread in many places, and I will leave for Shaoxing tomorrow, where the disaster is quite serious."

"Will the court hold my uncle accountable this time?" Jia Ying was a little worried.

Those rebels who were captured or surrendered have already confessed that many of them were victims of land loss in Fujian. What's more, one represents the emperor and the other represents the chief minister.

If there is accountability, the two of them will be the first to bear the brunt.

"Accountability is certain. I'm ready to be dismissed from office, but I don't care about that right now. The first priority is to appease the victims. Although the rebels have retreated, who can guarantee that there will be no second time .”

After speaking, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Ying and said, "Ying'er, no matter what you think in your heart, I still hope that you can fulfill your duty as the governor of the Jiangnan Navy."

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the red-haired ghost, or you will be arrested." The soldier who opened the way scolded.

"NO, I want to report to the police, I want to report to the police! They robbed our private property and killed my companions, oh my god, do you know how evil they are? It's the devil, I want to report to the police! "Several strange faces blocked the middle of the road ahead, one of them was dressed like a typical missionary, the other two were wearing nondescript outfits, and all three had dark red beards and hair, arguing with the soldiers.

"If you want to report to the official, go to the Yamen, don't get in the way!" The soldier held the saber at his waist with one hand, threatening.

Several Hongyi people showed fearful expressions, and stepped back.

"We don't know which government office to go to, and they ignore us." The missionary among them was still arguing with the soldiers.

"Xi'er, bring someone here." Jia Ying observed for a while, and then instructed Xi'er who was at the side.

Lin Ruhai was obviously not interested in Taixi people, but he didn't stop Jia Ying either.

Xi'er stepped forward and brought a few Hongyi people over.

"This is my lord, if you have anything to say, just talk to my lord."

The missionary looked at the young Jia Ying, then at Lin Ruhai, who was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, turned around and whispered to his companion, and then asked Xi'er, "What kind of official are you? Do you mean what you say? "

Xi'er held her head high and said, "My family's head is Wailang, a member of the military department of the current dynasty, and he is the leader of Jing Ning Bo. This time the rebels were defeated by my lord, do you think it counts?"

The missionary didn't know what kind of official Uiro was, but he noticed what was said later, and then whispered a few words to his companions behind him. Immediately afterwards, he saw three people walking towards Jia Ying.

The missionary walked in the front, put his right hand on his chest, and respectfully saluted Jia Ying: "My lord Earl, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The two Hongyi people in Dagan costumes behind them gave a standard gentleman's salute.

Looking at the three people in front of her, Jia Ying sighed deeply. In her previous life, red-haired ghosts were flying all over the streets. In this life, it is really not easy to see a few foreigners.

"Excuse me, you said you want to report to the officials, what are you talking about?"

The missionary immediately told what they had told him. It was nothing more than encountering rebels and being robbed of all his belongings.

"My lord, please send troops immediately, bring your knights, and help us get our property back."

The word "grab" is very individual. It's hard to imagine that this word came from the mouth of a devout Catholic.

But it also echoes their personality of the times.

In the age of great voyages, isn't it just a word of "grab"!
"Why did I help you find your lost property?" Jia Ying asked with interest.

"Honorable Earl, you are a noble nobleman and the most powerful knight. Isn't that what a knight should do to help the weak? I heard that the far east is known as the land of etiquette. We are your guests. Being robbed on your land, shouldn't you, as a count, help us?"

This missionary is eloquent and knows how to flatter people.

"I'm curious, since you met the rebels, how did you survive?"

The missionary said piously: "Allah has blessed us, Your Excellency, do you know Allah? Oh, I have a copy of "New Testament" here, which can be given to you as a gift. This is a senior translator of our church. Daganyu who came over is very precious."

While speaking, he took out a cowhide-bound book from the satchel beside him, with the word "New Testament" written in two languages ​​on it.

"Le nouveau testament (New Testament)."

"French?" Jia Ying frowned slightly, wondering in her heart.

In the West in the Middle Ages, the lingua franca stipulated by the Holy See should be Latin.Calculating the time, England is still a small and peaceful country at this moment, and English is still in the status of a minority language.

Even the Bible is in French, which means that the West should be in the era of the Pompo dynasty at this time, Louis XIII?Or Louis XIV?Or Louis XV, or a little later.

"You guys are not telling the truth." Jia Ying handed the new contract to Xi'er to put it away, and said to the three people in front of her with a smile on her face.

"But it doesn't matter, I'm still willing to help you."

The missionary's face turned from disappointment to joy, and he praised loudly: "Oh, Your Honorable Earl, the Lord will bless you."

Jia Ying chuckled lightly, shook her head and said, "Even if there is a god to bless you, it is the Jade Emperor, Dongfang, who is not in charge of the true God, and your cross will not be able to enter."

Without giving the missionary a chance to speak, Jia Ying continued, "I can help you, but you have to wait."

As he spoke, he pointed to the devastation on the street and said, "As you have seen, our city has been destroyed by rebels. I need to appease our people first, and then I can help you recover the lost property."

"No problem, Your Excellency, we can wait, but."

"We have one more small request, um, that is, please help us find our lost companion."

Jia Ying looked at the three people in front of him, thought for a while, and told Xi'er who was beside him, "Take them and settle down first, and help them find them."

Then he said to the three of them: "Follow my servant, he will provide you with help, food and lodging."

"Oh, praise God, Your Excellency Earl, you are the most gentlemanly oriental man I have ever met, Lord, oh no, the Jade Emperor will definitely bless you."

It's a little missionary.

Jia Ying smiled and said nothing, and asked Xi'er to take her away.

"Ying'er is interested in Taixi people?" Lin Ruhai asked curiously after they left.

Jia Ying nodded and said: "Europa is far away from our Dagan, but these Taixi people have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to come to our Dagan, which shows that they know more about the ocean than we do. Moreover, we red The barbarian cannon was snatched by the Japanese pirates from the Hong barbarians, and then passed on to Dagan, as well as the arquebus."

"I am now appointed as the governor of the Jiangnan Navy. Maybe I need them. Even if I don't need them, I can learn something about Europa from them."

Lin Ruhai nodded and didn't say much.

Europa is too far away from Dagan, so far away that Dagan people don't think there is any threat when they mention Europa.

After parting with Lin Ruhai, Jia Ying returned to the government office and interviewed three Thai and Westerners alone.

The three are all from the Netherlands. After repeated beatings by Jia Ying, the three told the truth. Europa has not been peaceful in recent years. The Netherlands has stabbed Spain in the back and defeated Portugal, and its national power has entered its heyday.

It's a pity that the good times don't last too long. England, across the English Channel, began to rise and began to march towards Great Britain. On land, after the old giant France defeated its neighboring countries, it began to focus on a large number of overseas countries. Assets of the Netherlands.

The Dutch navy is extremely powerful, but the strength of the army is limited by the small size of the country. It is really incomparable with the mighty France. Now it is being rubbed on the ground.

After learning about the general progress of the West, Jia Ying's heart gradually relaxed. Fortunately, there is still time.

The three of them should have life-saving weapons, but unfortunately, the three of them were full of vigilance against him and never cheated him. But don't worry, they won't leave in a short time.

Jia Ying asked Xi'er to greet the major yamen and help them find their lost companions, while she took a kind of bodyguard and went to patrol the coastal defense line.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter, which was rushed to Tianjin Wei and handed over to the Song Lun brothers.

(End of this chapter)
