Report to the Lord General of the Commander and the Deputy General of the Navy Shi Lang asked for a visit." A personal soldier ran to the sea and reported to him.

"Let him come over." Tu Hai held the side of the ship and said slightly, "The imperial edict had been issued a long time ago. Shi Lang is now the guerrilla general of the navy. At first glance, it seems that he has been demoted to a level, but the original deputy general was nominal. On the surface, he was reduced from a third-rank to a third-rank guerrilla general. However, the original deputy general had more responsibility to assist the general in the handling of the poor. To put it bluntly, he was actually a staff officer. Although the guerrilla general was not of high rank, he could lead the battalion. From this point of view, it was really much better for Shi Lang than to be a famous and unauthorized deputy general.

Shi Lang had just handed over seven warships and had seen the Qianmao of each ship. Now he was rushing to the main ship in a small boat, so he naturally came to bid farewell to Tuhai. From now on, although Shi Lang was on duty in the navy, his main responsibility was to defend Tianjin Port, which was under Li Guangdi.

"I will see Lord Tuhai." Shi Lang was short and concise, with a frost on his face. He stood on the slightly trembling deck like a nail, and gave Tuhai a thousand-thousandths.

"Is it a lord? Have you handed over the warships?" Tu Hai looked back sideways, his face calm. He worked with Shi Lang for two years and his relationship is pretty good. Although Tu Hai is a Man, he does not have Man Ren's self-reliance. He is very easy-going and attaches great importance to Shi Lang. In the past two years, Tu Hai has also asked Shi Lang for a lot of knowledge about naval battles in private.

"Report to the master, you have handed over, and we will say goodbye first." Shi Lang's squadron is now ready to go to the river first. After all, his responsibility is to guard Tianjin Port, and he has to make good defense in the main fleet.

"Are you sure about the defense of Tianjin Port?" Tu Hai frowned. The coastal fortresses of Tianjin Port had just been completed. The navy built by the court only trained in Baiyangdian. As soon as the sea was approached, it was still half a water duck. If there was no time for half a year, he would not have the confidence to fight the enemy. Once the Ming army navy appeared in Tianjin Port, he really had no confidence to defend the enemy.

"Sir, if the Ming army's Beiyang or Dongyang navy came out in full swing, I thought that our Qing navy would be wiped out and would never be spared. But if it was just a small fleet, I thought there was no need to worry too much. Lord Li Guangdi was ordered to supervise the construction of coastal fortifications, using the stolen silt Ming people's solid clay, and hundreds of artillery and ten thousand musketeers were arranged along the coast, so there should be no problem."

Tuhai was relieved, but the small fleet was not afraid. As for the Ming army's Beiyang Navy has been in Japan and North Korea's waters. Although they occasionally send fleets to Tianjin to harass, it is unlikely to be dispatched on a large scale. After all, the goal of rushing away from the base to the Thousand Miles of the Sea is an extremely risky action. As for the Dongyang Navy, there is no need to say that the Nanyang Navy is far away from Tianjin. In addition, there is rumors everywhere that the Ming army is short of food, and a large-scale naval battle consumes a lot of food. The seamen are bumpy at sea and consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, a seaman often consumes more and more abundant food at sea every day than on land. If the Ming army is really short of food, it is almost impossible to let a fleet of tens of thousands of people go to sea to attack a target for several months.

"Honor, you go first, Tianjin's local defense will ask you." Tu Hai waved his hand and felt a little cheerful. When Shi Lang was about to leave, Tu Hai suddenly said: "Wait."

Shi Lang turned around and said, "Sir, what else do you have to give me?"

Tu Hai stared at Shi Lang for a moment: "Li Guangdi is also from Fujian, right?"

Shi Lang's heart skipped a moment, his face changed inadvertently. He then returned to normal and said, "Mr. Mo has met with Lord Li. He has never asked about his hometown or his friendship with his fellow countrymen. He has only heard of him when he was chatting with a few generals. But he is the imperial envoy. Moar. He really dares to swear to him."

Tu Hai laughed: "I understand that the navy in Qing Dynasty are all from Fujian. This is interesting. You go down.

”

Shi Lang felt relieved. Tuhai said that the land was right. He said that the navy general Zuoli was half Manchu. Although these Manchus were chief officials, most of them did not know how to fight water. Most of the Han people in the rest were Fujian people. During the navy training, they were all Fujian officers. I think Tuhai just sighed and did not mean anything else.

Shi Lang bowed to Tuhai and turned around and left.

Tuhai sighed and looked at Shi Lang's figure moving further and further, until he turned over the mast, got off the ship and boarded the boat, and rowed towards the large ship in front of him.

A deputy general Gadeng came over. His name was Ge Li, who was a man of Zhenghuang Banner. He was quite related to Tuhai and was quite steady. Therefore, he was highly valued by Tuhai. This time Shi Lang was transferred from the deputy general to do a guerrilla war, which was the vacancy that Tuhai recommended Ge Liding.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Ge Li walked up to Tuhai, saw Tuhai frowning, and asked carefully.

Tuhai held the ship's side: "I always feel something strange in the navy camp."

Ge Li suddenly became nervous, and his hand holding the knife-crossing sword couldn't help but tighten: "Sir, is there any wise man in the land? I've heard that people have great powers in the North and South Pacification Department. I'll call someone now and kill that person immediately."

Tuhai shook his head: "It's just a premonition. I can't be honest. There are too many Fujian people in the navy, and most of them are surrendered by Zheng. These people seem to have no connection with the navy, but they always make me feel like I'm in my heart.

An, it would be fine if they often talk about the friendship between the fellow countrymen, but we were drinking wine near us?"

Ge Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, I think they are afraid that people will be suspected, so they dare not make friends openly. This is how the Han people are. They are originally without ghosts, but they will look like they have ghosts in their hearts."

Tuhai smiled bitterly: "I hope there are too many of me?"

When Shi Lang returned to the ship, he immediately raised his flag words and ordered his ships to set sail and anchor, and headed south along the Qing Dynasty. Seven warships and six or seven supply ships left the main force of the fleet and quickly sailed to the south.

Shi Lang sat in the cabin, and the warships were cruising very smoothly. After all, this place was just an inland river and there was no wind or wave at all. Therefore, although the Qing Dynasty navy has been practicing day and night in the past two years, Shi Lang naturally understood that how to practice in the inland river was another scene. He drank away the personal soldiers who were accompanying him, and took out a letter from his sleeves with the candlelight in the cabin to read it carefully. This was a handbook written by Li Guangdi himself. The content was very simple, and he only said that everything was fine. When he arrived in Tianjin, he invited him Shi Lang to have a meal. In the future, Tianjin's defense would still need Shi Lang to help.

On the surface, it was just a letter written by his superiors to his subordinates, but Shi Lang understood that the action that had been plotting for a year was about to be launched. He sighed. As early as a year ago, people from the sanctuary department had come to contact him. For anti-Qing, Shi Lang was extremely enthusiastic when he was young. After all, he was still a Han man. When Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was also a member of the Qing Dynasty. However, Zheng Chenggong called for anti-Qing in Xiamen, and he abandoned Zheng Zhilong and rushed to Jin Xia without hesitation, just to be unwilling to become a slave to Manchu people like his old master Zheng Zhilong.

During several major battles between Zheng Chenggong and Manchu, Shi Lang personally experienced it, and his subordinates were stained with many blood from Manchu. At that time, he took it as his mission to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and everything he did was a man's behavior. When the Qing army sneaked into Xiamen, Zheng Chenggong had already led the main force to Nan'ao. Xiamen's main general Zheng Zhiguan panicked and abandoned the city and fled. It was him, Shi Lang, who personally led more than 60 people around him to take the initiative to resist, and was unstoppable. He killed the younger brother of the Qing army commander Ma Degong. Ma Degong was almost captured alive and led the remaining defeated generals to flee from Xiamen in panic. This battle made him famous and also made it the biggest turning point in his life.

After this battle, Zheng Chenggong shared the reward according to his merits. As Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong joined forces, Zheng Chenggong only gave the first meritorious official to defend Xiamen a reward of 200 taels of silver. Other generals were either promoted or made a fortune, and they were extremely proud. Even Zheng Zhiguan, who was scared when he heard the Qing army's sneak attack and fled before the war started, was given a generous reward. This result made Shi Lang feel very upset, which further aggravated the conflict between him and Zheng Chenggong.

Finally one day, Zheng Chenggong arrested Shi Lang's family in the name of Shi Lang's decision without permission. Shi Lang fled alone. Zheng Chenggong, who was ungrateful to death, executed Shi Lang's parents and brothers mercilessly. When Shi Lang heard the news, he was naturally so angry that he was both angry and swore to take revenge and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

The national righteousness and bloody hatred were conceivable in his heart. Zheng Chenggong, under the banner of the Southern Ming Dynasty, represented national justice, and if Shi Lang wanted to take revenge, he had already pushed himself to the opposite of national justice. This result was something Shi Lang absolutely did not expect.

But now it is different. Zheng Chenggong is dead. His son, the prince of Yanping County, is now just a prince who has no power and is being monitored. Now he is recruiting him with national justice. The new First Emperor who is powerful and separating the south of the Yangtze River is the new First Emperor who is powerful and separating the Yangtze River.

Shi Lang sighed quietly, I'm afraid no one in the world can have such rich experience as him. Although he is already forty years old, his heart is old. Only at this time can he shine a little glow. What he wants to do now is to destroy the entire Manchu fleet with Li Guangdi and the Navy of the Nanming. This is definitely a shocking plot. One plan is being realized one by one, and now it is finally time to decide success or failure.
