Chapter eight hundred and eighty: The famous commander died
In the Kinmen Strait, a Cangshan boat was sailing smoothly on the sea.
The Cangshan Ship's bow ship carries a medium-sized França machine. The ship has only one deck, and two light França machine are equipped on the left and right sides of the deck.
In addition, more than 80 navy officers and soldiers were equipped with bird guns. In the cabin, there were powerful naval combat weapons like fire dragons coming out of the water and thunder.
Of course, all these equipment only serves combat in territorial waters, and the main imaginary enemies are pirates and Japanese dwarf warships.
Their warship combat methods are mainly based on board battles. The Fujian Navy uses this configuration, which is slightly higher than pirates and Japanese warships. The firearms and seafarers are also several times higher than those of the other side, and they can be completely advantageous when fighting in shallow seas.
But in other words, as the main warship of the navy's unreorganized branch of the Ming Dynasty, Cangshan Ship currently does not have the ability to fight deep-sea.
Although the Cangshan ship of the Fujian Navy has undergone a system upgrade, the comprehensive performance of the fully modified Cangshan ship is lower than that of the double-brigged sailboats that have been eliminated in Europe.
The reason why it has not been eliminated is entirely because pirates are rampant at present.
If the warships of the Denlei Navy Division were used to eliminate pirates and daily patrols, they would not only pay much more expensive military expenses than they are now, but they would almost never exert the firepower advantages of large warships near the sea.
How can I use a ox knife to kill a chicken? Even the Ming Dynasty today can only afford one.
Yu Zizao stood on the bow of the Cangshan boat with his hands behind his back. Next to him was the most powerful Thousand-Kilometre Franchise on the entire boat. He gently stroked his hand on the cannon and suddenly asked:
"How long will it take for Kinmen?"
"Uh..." Jin Shenghuan, who was quietly approaching behind him, didn't expect to be discovered. He was amazed and afraid in his heart, and said with a wry smile:
"It should be here soon!"
Yu Zizao suddenly turned around, looked straight into his eyes, and said coldly: "General Jin Gan, why are sweating coming out of your forehead?"
"Ah hahaha!" Jin Shenghuan laughed a little, making a fool of himself, "I spent several efforts on a woman last night, and I was a little weak without rest."
When Yu Zizao heard this, he didn't think much, turned his head and smiled, "General Jin Gan, this is not the first time you have gone out to patrol with me to do it. Why are you still--"
At this point, it ended abruptly.
Yu Zizao felt a cold waist, as if something hard thing suddenly penetrated in. Then he widened his eyes and turned his head and said:
"You, you--!"
"Hmph, it's up to you, your life is bad, my great general." Jin Shenghuan used force in his hand, and the sword in his hand pierced Yu Zizao's waist.
In an instant, blood soared, even dyeing the black-hole Zhenlu cannon red!
Yu Zizao turned around and grabbed Jin Shenghuan's collar tightly. He felt the power in his body was rapidly losing, and he could see the face of Jin Shenghuan, who usually pretended to be honest, and now exposed.
At this moment, there were also shouts of killing sounds on the boat.
"Master!"
"Protect the Grandmaster!"
More than ten servants were besieged by more than 60 rebels, some were killed in their sleep, and some were killed by swords while fighting.
A personal soldier rushed to the deck with all his strength, but he was also hit by several swords, and his blood was flowing. Finally, he fell into a pool of blood with exhaustion.
Yu Zizao was already dying at this time. He used all his last strength to curse: "Brave! Do you think that killing me can prevent the new policy of the imperial court from being implemented on the coast?"
Jin Shenghuan took his bloody hand away from him and sneered:
"We have planned for a long time and spent a lot of effort to finally get the opportunity today. Whether it is OK or not, we have to give it a try!"
Yu Zizao fell on the deck and kept spitting blood out of his mouth, "Your Majesty, I, Yu Zizao, I am not sorry that I will never see the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty again..."
Jin Shenghuan stabbed Yu Zizao in the chest and abdomen with a knife, fearing that he would not die, so he turned his body back and slashed behind him.
Seeing that he was already angry, he stopped.
Then, Jin Shenghuan signaled to the servants beside him, and the servants immediately drew their swords at the rebels on the ship, and after a fight, all the rebels died on the ship.
Jin Shenghuan took several servants to jump onto the boat, held a torch, sneered, and threw it onto the boat.
Then, a raging fire broke out in the Cangshan boat.
......
That night, the Kinmen Gate General was unable to see Yu Zizao coming to patrol. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately sent a warship to the Kinmen Gate General's Mansion to inquire.
Only after this question did I find out that the dignified Fujian general was lost!
For a time, the entire Fujian navy moved and sent hundreds of warships to patrol the surrounding area of Kinmen Island from Tongshan Guarding Qianhu Station.
However, no matter how many ships or manpower are, finding people in the vast sea is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Apart from finding some burnt charcoal floating on the sea, this three-day search found almost nothing.
Until the fourth day, the Fujian genital general Jin Shenghuan, who followed Yu Zizao to Kinmen, was discovered by fishermen on the Dongshan Peninsula, the southernmost part of Fujian.
According to the fishermen, Jin Shenghuan was rescued and his body was not covered, and his armor was chopped and ragged. He was extremely depressed, as if he was beggar.
After several days of cultivation, he finally could speak. When the Fujian Governor Nan Juyi heard the news, he hurried to Xiamen and asked Jin Shenghuan.
According to the latter, they were attacked by Liu Xiang and his gang of pirates on the way to Kinmen, and their entire army was wiped out, and only he escaped by himself.
Many Fujian generals were skeptical about this, but there was only one result at present. If they were not convinced, Yu Zizao and his personal soldiers would not be able to see anyone alive or corpses, and the generals would be helpless.
What's more, some people heard that the imperial court had their own thoughts, and some even secretly rejoiced in their hearts, thinking that this was really God's will.
Yu Zizao, the eldest son of Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, was located in the country outside the Jiang family of Yulin. He is one of the most famous children of a general family.
Not to mention that Yu Zizao was the general of Fujian who was chosen by Emperor Qi today. When the absolute confidant on guarding the coast, the news that he died at the sea immediately shocked the entire Ming military and political circles.
Since Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne in the 47th year of Wanli, only one of the generals of the same level died in battle, namely Wang Wei, the general of Jizhou.
The impact of Yu Zizao on Zhu Youxiao was even more than that of Wang Wei.
What's more, Yu Zizao died in an unknown way. One is that he could not win the title, and the other is that he could not fight for the title. Such a great general with outstanding military achievements died like this, and no one does not feel that it is strange.
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the two memorials placed on the imperial case, one was a request from Yu Zizao to the capital a few days ago.
The second part is the news of Yu Zizao's death that was sent just today.
Zhu Youxiao's hands were trembling. Without thinking, he knew that this must be a good thing done by those forces opposing the reform of the Pacific Institute.
Since the new policy of garrison offices has been implemented, all kinds of strange things have emerged one after another.
First, the civil and military officials in the court, local ministers, and then the White Lotus Sect revived, the people in Shaanxi were in chaos, and the garrison rebelled. Now even the general of Fujian died in an unknown way.
The atmosphere in the entire Xihun Pavilion was very tense and extremely quiet.
Gradually, the sound of paper being torn out came out, and the palace people were all nervous, but Zhu Youxiao had inadvertently tore the two memorials into pieces and kneaded them into balls.
Everyone's heart trembled. They all understood that Emperor Tianqi was angry but did not show his presence. This time, he was really furious.
