Chapter 255: We can't eat this loss
Recently, the center of the Ming Empire has been quite peaceful.
Apart from the open and secret struggles of various parties every day, nothing happened that is worthy of Zhu Youxiao's headache for the emperor.
As for Liaodong, although Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengchou cannot be united and behave in one's heart, they can also not restrain each other and let them do whatever they want.
On the Later Jin Dynasty, Dorgon, who had originally led three thousand Zhengbai Banner cavalry to level up, was attacked by Amin and Huangtai Jiyin. He returned home in a defeat and was also disgraced.
Since then, Nurhaci never asked him to lead troops again, which naturally achieved the purpose of Amin and Huang Taiji.
However, there was a variable among them, namely Liu Xingzuo's anyway.
Anyway, Liu Xingzuo was in the Ming Dynasty, so he really hit Nurhaci hard, and his old illness on his back exploded again, causing him to be physically and mentally exhausted.
The Han people who trusted so deeply even married their daughter to him, but this still failed to win Liu Xingzuo's loyalty. It turned out that he had been pretending for so many years.
Nurhaci was completely disappointed with all the Han people. During this period, the Later Jin Dynasty had a very tide. Even people like Fan Wencheng dared not show up easily.
It would be like a irritating to do something at this time.
Nurhaci continued to implement the policy of enslaving and brutality of the Han people. He regarded all the Han people as slaves of the bannermen. He called them and walked away when they were swayed. He killed them if they wanted, and had no human rights at all.
But even so, the wailing and blood of the Han people still failed to make up for the emptiness and pain brought to Nurhaci by Liu Xingzuo's betrayal.
The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the illusion of seemingly working together within the Later Jin Dynasty have forced the old slave chiefs who are already in their twilight years to start to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Since Liu Xingzuo's incident, Nurhaci no longer sent troops to invade Liaoshen at will, but instead stabilized the internal situation and laid the foundation for cultivating successors.
In Xiong Tingbi's view, this is naturally an excellent opportunity to recover.
After some dispatch, Xiong Tingbi, who was confirmed that the Later Jin Dynasty would not invade in a short period of time, took Xue Laiyin and other generals to Shenyang in person and began to plan the stability of the entire Liaoshen defense line.
He wanted to prove to Emperor Tianqi with practical actions that choosing himself is correct and defending Liaoshen is far more effective than retreating to Ningjin!
The West Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao leaned against the chair and had just processed a batch of memorials. He was a little sleepy and yawned. He decided to take a good look before talking.
As soon as he closed his eyes, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall. Zhu Youxiao frowned, but there was no movement.
Wang Chaofu stopped the eunuch of the Silijian who came to report the news and said, "What's going on? The emperor has just lie down and it's nothing important. I'll send it back later."
"Grandpa, it's a happy event, a great event." The little eunuch said happily:
"The court defeated the Red-haired Man's fleet in Penghu and Zhangzhou Port. The captured Red-haired Man is being taken to the capital."
"Give it to me--"
Wang Chaofu did not hesitate and snatched the news from the young eunuch, signaling that he could go back, and then tiptoed into the Qianqing Palace himself and said:
"grandfather…"
"What's up."
Zhu Youxiao was holding the blue cat in his arms. This beast was very spiritual, neither flattering nor arrogant, and could always give people comfort in just the right amount.
Compared with other animals, Zhu Youxiao actually liked to raise cats since later generations.
But in this life, he doesn't need to be the emperor to serve the cat owner, and the servants in the cat room are responsible for it.
If a royal cat died, they all had to be punished.
"The bloody battle between Zhanggang and Hong Kong, the entire Fujian Navy fought bloody battles, and wiped out the entire fleet of Hongmaofan."
"Since the incident in Penghu, our navy has often suffered heavy losses, and there is no one who has the strength of the navy. In this battle, with the power of the navy, we have completely wiped out and captured the enemy. The power of our Ming navy has been so impressive today..."
"Okay, stop thinking."
Zhu Youxiao was a little upset when he heard this kind of arrogant and exaggerated words. After knowing the result, he could guess it almost exactly. He was too lazy to continue listening to them bragging.
"Show me."
When he came to his hands, Zhu Youxiao's eyes, which were a little sleepy due to sleepiness, gradually became condensed. Things were similar to what he guessed, killing one thousand enemies and losing three thousand themselves.
The Fujian Navy mobilized 200 various warships, nearly 10,000 naval officers and soldiers, what is the Dutch fleet?
Nine ships, more than 800 sailors who were both war and business, and more than 100 regular soldiers. That's all, the gap between the number of people on both sides and the fleet is obvious.
But what is the result?
Five enemy ships were sunk, four were captured, more than three hundred enemies were killed, and more than six hundred were captured. All kinds of ships on his side were sunk directly, and nearly eighty were destroyed.
This has not counted the damage to all levels, and more than a thousand navy soldiers who died in battle because of this. These are all living lives!
Zhu Youxiao's slightly sharp eyes finally eased a little when he saw the words "captured the enemy giant ship", which was the best of this giant ship, the earliest Galen battleship.
Otherwise, the loss of this battle would not be considered a victory at all!
Putting down the Zhanggang victory that was said to be in front of Wang Chaofu, Zhu Youxiao picked up another document marked as the Penghu Naval Battle and read it.
This is the document that Zheng Yiguan reported to the court, telling him how he was well-organized during this naval battle, and that he wiped out the Dutch Second Fleet and killed the opponent's commander Bush.
Zhu Youxiao took a quick look, knew the general meaning, and then put it down.
Zheng Zhilong is still young and energetic. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have written this document himself, and the whole article is full of exaggeration of boasting about his military achievements and asking for rewards.
The real thing was just one sentence: wipe out the enemy fleet and kill its commander Bush.
The word "六文" is an understatement.
Zhu Youxiao sneered, capturing eight complete three-masted sail warships is considered to be completely annihilated?
According to the agreement, the Zheng family fleet would hand over a complete Dutch warship to the court for the military weapon department to study technology. Zheng Yiguan's intention was to hand over a sailing warship.
But Zhu Youxiao had already learned from the factory and the Jiaoshifu that the Fujian Navy of the imperial court had the greatest losses in the battle.
The most difficult to crack, Lao En's first fleet was dragged to Zhangzhou Port by Yu Zizao. The Zheng family just lies in the Penghu waters and caught the Second Fleet off guard.
And with the double-deck warship purchased by the Portuguese, the Zheng family fleet had almost no casualties this time and obtained the ship equipment of the entire Dutch fleet.
They are the great victory, and the imperial court can only be considered a miserable victory at best!
Zhu Youxiao could understand the meaning of Yu Zizao's victory this time. After all, the court ignored this matter, and the Zheng family fulfilled all the requirements of the court.
It makes no sense to force their results.
But this mute loses. Can the emperor be a victim? Can the more than a thousand navy officers and soldiers who died in battle be in peace on the road to the underworld?
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao touched the cat on his leg and said lightly:
"Call the military computer room minister to the Xihunting Pavilion to wait for me, Wang Chaofu, you can go there in person and inform everyone's house."
