Chapter 698 Navy Arrangements
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he turned his head to look in the direction of Jinzhou, and said with a sneer: "When I ordered the Jinzhou defenders to retreat, I had already transported all the artillery away. The Dongjiang Army didn't have any artillery. In such a short period of time , They can’t transport artillery from the Ming Dynasty to Jinzhou. When the weather is cold and the sea is frozen, I don’t believe that the city wall of Jinzhou can’t be destroyed just by using the general’s cannon!”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fan Wencheng immediately complimented him playfully after hearing this, "Since a hole has been dug for the Ming army to jump, how can there be no way to deal with the Ming army who entered the urn! Wait until the deep winter to wipe out the Dongjiang army , Your Majesty’s prestige will surely be at the peak of the sky, and there is no need to worry about the dissent from the allies of the Mongolian tribes!”

"Haha..." Huang Taiji laughed happily when he heard the words, the eyes on that fat face were originally small, but when he laughed so loudly, it seemed as if his eyes were closed, "How can you care about the momentary gains and losses in a war? No matter how powerful that Lu Xiangsheng is, now it seems that it can only be me, and I will have the last laugh!"

"Ah Choo..." Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai who was far away in Lushun, suddenly sneezed, but none of the generals present dared to laugh. Could it be a cold?
Lu Xiangsheng acted as if there was no such thing, and said solemnly to the generals in the hall: "Everyone, it is estimated that in half a month or so, the sea will start to freeze. From then on, the navy will not be able to come and go. Therefore, according to the emperor's will, the new army must land before the ice freezes, attack Gaizhou and stick to it. Calculate the time, it should be almost the same!"

The new army had already arrived in Lushun and rested for a long time.Even in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness after landing is not weak, these days, they have been conducting landing drills in Lushun port according to the emperor's instructions.

Of course, this kind of drill operation cannot be compared with the landing battle of later generations.In this day and age, the seaside has no defense at all.The purpose of the drill was to allow the Ming army to land quickly, and then start operations immediately in an orderly manner, so as not to mess up on the beach and delay time.

At this time, upon hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, standing in the hall, the two people at the front, one on the left and one on the right, that is, the new military commander Cao Bianjiao and the supervisor Feng Dehua, immediately clasped their fists and said, "Master Zhongcheng, please give me an order!"

When the two of them made such a statement, the generals and supervisors of the new army stepped out one after another, and replied in unison: "Please give orders, Lord Zhongcheng!"

Seeing their high fighting spirit, Zheng Zhilong who was standing beside him gave a secret praise in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the surface!
At this moment, I heard Lu Xiangsheng say: "Where is General Zheng Shen of the Fujian Navy?"

"The last general is here!" Zheng Zhilong hurried out when he heard this.His brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhiwan also followed, also clasped their fists and waited for the command.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at them, and ordered with a serious face: "According to the emperor's order, after your Fujian navy transports the new army to land, you can directly return to Fujian and go to the tent of Fujian governor Sun Zhongcheng to listen to orders."

Zheng Zhilong was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, but he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately responded: "The last general obeys orders!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng broke the news to them again: "You are not here, the pirates along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong are showing signs of resurgence. In particular, a pirate named Liu Xiang is very powerful and has seriously hindered the imperial court's plan to open the sea. Your Majesty An order has been issued to Sun Zhongcheng. Once you arrive, we will attack together by land and water. If necessary, we can also unite the forces of Hongyi and Flangji. The emperor means that it must be given to Daming for at most next year. A quiet place along the coast!"

Zheng Zhilong was slightly taken aback when he heard this. Hearing this meaning, it seems that Hongyi and Fulang Jiren would listen to the imperial court. If this is the case, then the naval power in the imperial court's hands will be great!

However, he immediately understood that it must be in the interests of Hongyi and Frangji that the imperial court banned the sea, so that they could justifiably trade goods with Daming!

As for Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong sneered in his heart.I have also worshiped the handle before, but I am a short-sighted person.Although there are many people under his command, and there is a powerful backing from Guangdong, there is nothing to worry about.The imperial court has mobilized so many forces, I am afraid that it will not be able to destroy him easily!
Thinking of this, he immediately responded loudly, expressing that he would obey the imperial court's order and would go all out to wipe out the pirates and live up to the emperor's kindness!

Li Zhiqi, the commander of the Denglai Navy standing beside him, has been watching with cold eyes.Since he was punished for copying the word "Tongpao" last time, at least on the bright side, he has been very restrained, and he will not run into the Zheng brothers again.But if you want to let go of the past, this warrior from the island doesn't have such a big heart.

Hearing their conversation at this time, he couldn't help being sarcastic in his heart, he just wiped out a Liu Xiang, and asked the court to help you dispatch Hongyi and Flang robots, are you ashamed?

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he immediately stepped out of the line and clasped his fists to Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Zhongcheng, the north freezes in winter, and the Denglai Navy is almost useless. The last general asks, you can go to the south to help destroy the pirates!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was a little taken aback. He hadn't thought about this before.However, as the governor of Denglai, he does not have the power to mobilize troops across regions.

Seeing Li Zhiqi jumping out to mention this, Zheng Zhilong knew in his heart that this guy must want to go back once, to show his existence to those old friends over there.Let those people see that not only did Li Zhiqi not die, but he became the commander of the Denglai Navy.

But thinking of this, he couldn't help warning himself immediately.This time, we must do our best to go back to destroy the pirates, otherwise, if the emperor is not satisfied, it is really possible to transfer this bastard to the past.As for this time, hehe...

Just as Zheng Zhilong thought, Lu Xiangsheng quickly shook his head and said: "The Denglai navy still wants to stay in Denglai. After fighting for a year, take advantage of the winter to take a good rest. The emperor has explained that the navy must take the opportunity to rectify. , Summing up the experience, we will expand the scale in the coming year.”

Li Zhiqi couldn't help being happy when he heard that the navy was going to be expanded. He glanced at Zheng Zhilong beside him from the corner of his eye, and then responded loudly with a hint of excitement: "The last general obeys orders!"

The things that Zheng Zhilong told Zheng Zhilong were just digressions. After talking about the navy, Lu Xiangsheng focused on explaining the winter battle, mainly talking about some details of the cooperation between Gaizhou and Jinzhou.

After discussing these details, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wei Mulan standing beside him. Seeing that she didn't respond, he knew that the emperor had no new orders, so he solemnly and loudly ordered: "Tomorrow morning, the new army Board the ship and set off!"

"Obey!" Cao Bianjiao, Feng Dehua and others excitedly cupped their fists to accept the order.
