The military workshop suffered a lot of losses.

The reason was that the shelling triggered the death of a gunpowder workshop, and the losses of the accumulated gunpowder were second. More than a dozen craftsmen were unfortunately killed on the spot.

After a carpet-style search on the north side, Fang Guoan and Lu Zhiyuan came back to report.

"Report to the prince, after investigation and calculation, the artillery that was bombarded the military workshop should be between thirty and forty gates... When the general of the Mo led his troops to arrive, the enemy had retreated, and the indentation of the artillery cart was still there. The general of the Mo and General Lu had dispatched troops to chase the cart along the mark..."

Wu Zheng frowned. Thirty to forty artillery pieces should be half of an artillery regiment. In other words, according to the organization of the Northern Expedition Army, an artillery regiment had only sixty-four artillery pieces with a range of more than ten miles.

This is equivalent to telling Wu Zheng that at least one artillery regiment had rebelled.

Why doesn't this make Wu Zheng feel uncomfortable?

But the question is, where did an artillery regiment come from?

The Northern Expedition Army was very clear. The surrounding areas of Songjiang Prefecture, the military academy corps of Fang Guoan and the Wusong Guard adapted from Jinshan Guard were all militia groups in each prefecture and were not equipped with artillery at all.

This matter seems very strange.

Lu Zhiyu guessed: "Can it be...the good thing done by the Taizhou Wei in Jiangbei?"

Fang Guoan also said: "The last general has sent people to investigate the artillery in the military academy and has never mobilized a single one. General Lu's Wusongwei is far away in Jinshanwei, so it is even more impossible for him to shell the military workshop. The only one in the nearest is Taizhouwei."

Wu Zheng frowned even more, and his words sounded good, but could Taizhou Wei betray him?

Is Jiang Quanyi stupid?

Or was it really bought by Dorgon after being captured?

But that's not right. This matter is the same as Fang Guoan. The Lu domain is the same. Can Jiang Quanyi betrayal, can Taizhou Wei?

Wu Zheng shook his head vigorously and said, "It is impossible. There must be situations that we don't know. We will continue to do our best to track down the escaped artillery."

"yes."

The two took the order and left.

At this time, Song An suddenly spoke: "Young Master, there is really only Fang around Songjiang Mansion. The two generals Lu are equipped with artillery, but it does not mean that there is no source of other artillery."

Wu Zheng felt aroused and said, "What do you mean is the artillery transported by Dorgon from Jiangbei?"

As soon as he asked, Wu Zheng immediately shook his head, "This is impossible! The north of Taizhou to south of Rugao are all under the control of the Taizhou Guard. What ability does Dorgon have to transport artillery across the Yangtze River? Besides, the Qing court bought artillery equipment from us at this time, but the new army was not too late. How could it take a lot of effort to transport artillery to Jiangnan? This is illogical!"

Song An shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, I mean... the navy."

These words made Wu Zheng's head roar.

Wu Zheng's intuition told himself that this should almost be the truth.

To the north of the military workshop is the entrance to the sea.

Only the navy can easily transport artillery to the shore and evacuate northward after the shelling.

Only the navy can easily avoid the people, because from Hangzhou to Wusong, the Northern Expedition Army was training almost every day. As a navy, it was very natural and logical to land and transport artillery.

Wu Zheng thought painfully that this should be the most correct guess.

The reason for the pain is that one of the three navy masters has problems.

Which one?

Zhang Mingzhen? No!

Wang Yilin? Not to mention it!

Then, it is the Zhoushan Navy, the first one of the dynasties!

Wu Zheng keenly felt that only Wang Chao first, and only he could do this.

Because Wang Chaoxian's Zhoushan Navy was reorganized by the former Huang Binqing's army, and some of them were Wang Chaoxian's old subordinates.

In this way, the dynasty can easily cover people's eyes and ears, and let the confidants drive several warships to sea and land from the sea estuary.

And the dynasty has the potential to betray.

In history, the dynasty first killed Huang Binqing with Zhang Mingzhen and seized control of the navy. After the success of the country, the dynasty first became a blessing and became more and more loyal to Mingzhen. He did not want to resist the Qing Dynasty, but fought for food and flood, and was strong and robbed civilian ships, which was finally killed by Zhang Mingzhen.

Wu Zheng always tolerated Wang Chaoxian because when Huang Binqing's troops were recruited, there was no suitable naval general who could be entrusted to the Zhoushan Navy.

After all, the Chaoxian had a considerable force, so after Wu Zheng weighed the pros and consolidation, he accepted the Chaoxian's surrender and entrusted the Zhoushan Navy to him.

But Wu Zheng was indeed worried about the dynasty in his heart, and he asked Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin to join the Zhoushan Navy Division as the deputy general, intending to restrain the dynasty in his first place.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Wang Chaoxian was dissatisfied.

Dorgon sent someone to recruit him and promised a reward. Both sides would hit it off immediately. If you have milk, you will be the mother.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng quickly ordered the Chen Qianshan Navy to block the sea estuary to prevent the dynasty from escaping back to the garrison first. He also transferred the Wusong Navy to suppress the Zhoushan Navy to cut off the dynasty's way back.

....

The dynasty was indeed at the mouth of the sea first.

At this time, the three warships were shaking leisurely on the water.

The dynasty was very proud because Dorgon said that as long as he acted according to the plan, whether it was successful or not, the position of the admiral of the Qing Dynasty was the first to the dynasty.

This is because of the actual shortcomings of the first grade. It is equivalent to the entire foreign land, and I am a local emperor.

The dynasty first hated Wu Zheng.

Zhang Mingzhen was valued by Wu Zheng, and Wang Yilin had gone to Zhoushan Navy to be the deputy general for several months before, Wang Chaoxian had already clearly felt Wu Zheng's suppression and defense against him.

Sometimes there were cold words from him, just saying that Wu Zheng wanted to cross the river and burn bridges, and the rabbit died and the dog cooked.

Wu Zheng has heard of these words from time to time, but Wu Zheng basically ignored them.

Because Zhoushan Navy was still in good condition for the past two or three years, Wu Zheng had been hesitating and did not want to move the dynasty first.

Zhang Mingzhen has formed the Wusong Naval Division, and Wang Yilin has taken over the Chen Qianshan Naval Division again. There are no naval generals available in his hands for the time being, so let the dynasty continue to take charge of the Zhoushan Naval Division first.

But the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. The dynasty was born in the past, and surrendered at that time because of the situation. He had not received promotion in the past three years and had long been dissatisfied with Wu Zheng.

As soon as Dorgon sent someone to recruit him, the dynasty agreed immediately, just to change his master.

The deployment of the Chaoxian was actually perfect.

He used the excuse of exchanging naval forces for training in the navy, and pulled the navy to the estuary. Of course, the navy soldiers would not follow the dynasty to do such things first.

Therefore, the Dynasty had only mobilized three warships from his confidants, which was enough.

The more warships there are, the more suspicious it is.

With the number of artillery used, the side cannon on a ship is enough.

The gun was placed on a wooden frame that was built in advance, and the horse was driven by the carriage, and more than 200 gunners were adjusted to accompany them.

No one would doubt or dare to stop it. This matter was done so easily.
