    ?The signing room of the Fujian Chief Envoy's Yamen was busy. The Chief Executive, the Prosecutor's Office, the Prefect's Yamen, and the General Military Office all moved in. Yang Ling came to work in a joint wartime office.  The two reception rooms on the left and right were opened up in the signing room, and the staff and masters gathered together, and they did not dare to delay the submission of various official documents.

    Raise enough food, fodder and military supplies; allocate enough ships, horse mules, and civilian husbands; appease the people and relieve rice and grain in places looted by Japanese pirates;  Taxes are drawn from time to time to meet the needs of the war.

    ? In the General Staff Headquarters, there was an endless stream of secret spies from the military station and the two factories and one guard, constantly sending military information and news from various places.  There are piles of papers piled up in front of every official's desk, but everyone works hard, changing from the previous perfunctory and procrastinating yamen style.  The newly promoted group of young officials are even more vigorous and resolute in their work.

    Who dares not to work hard?  The bloody smell on Fuzhou Street has not dissipated yet.  This Governor Yang looks kind and friendly, but who knows that he has such courage, more than a thousand heads, even if he kills more than a thousand chickens, people are soft-handed, and he actually gave an order, like cutting  They are slaughtered like grass.

    This kind of iron and blood skills immediately overwhelmed the officials of the whole province. The two banners of "Imperial Envoy Governor" and "Mighty General Yang" on both sides of the chief envoy's yamen have the effect of "receiving the envoys here and welcome a trip to the west".  Officials from all over the country who came to see these two flags from a distance held their breath as if they were walking on thin ice.

    Fujian's weather is new, and the province's governing institutions are slowly starting to function again

    Yang Ling's study is located in the backyard, with winding paths and corridors in front of the study, and rockery ponds on the left and right, but it hasn't rained for several days, and the weather is too stuffy, even though it is by the pool, it doesn't feel cool.  Yang Ling was wearing only a light shirt and long trousers, and the door of the study was open. While fanning his fan, he listened to He Zongbing's report on the military situation.

    "The basic situation is like this. Hiroshi Miyamoto owns six warships with multiple cannons. With the addition of his original ships, his ambitions are greatly expanded. It seems that he also knows that as a foreigner, he can only fight in the Ming Dynasty.  Looting on land, but it is impossible to win the support of the Han people, so as to stand for a long time, so although Hiroshi Miyamoto's subordinates are still looting everywhere, he himself has begun to look for a foothold at sea."

    He Bingwen sat on the chair beside Yang Ling, leaned over and said.

    Since he was rescued by Yang Ling, he regarded Yang Ling as his savior.  What's more, the two of them are not what they used to be. Yang Ling's official title is much higher than him. Although he is now wearing a lion men's uniform and has become the commander-in-chief of Fujian's land and water officers and soldiers, he respects Yang Ling even more.

    Yang Ling knew that he was a kind of old-fashioned regular soldier, and he was incomparable with a lunatic soldier like Min Wenjian. After persuading him several times, he was still very polite, and Yang Ling didn't force it.

    Yang Ling shook his fan lightly, the gentle breeze brought a little coolness, and gently brushed his hair.

    He frowned and thought for a while and said, "In this part of the sea, where can they go if they want to settle down? In the north is the Diaoyu Islands, in the south is Mancijia, in the east is Yizhou, and there is only Penghu in the middle.  He stands still, and it will take a lot of trouble if he wants to attack again. The Fujian navy is in the process of rectification, and the other navy can't get out for a while, alas ".

    Zongbing He said strangely: "My lord, Penghu is very close to the land, and there are white grasses entrenched in the Diaoyu Islands, and there are Western pirates stationed in Mancijia.  Zhou. The situation in Fujian is still unclear, and the general is always worried about whether the officers and soldiers of the guards can fight as hard as possible. I see that although the officials in the front hall and various yamen are very busy, my lord seems to be a bit concerned about the situation in Fujian  some".

    Yang Ling smiled and said, "Are you a little careless? Hehe, it's not that I'm not in a hurry, but the situation in Fujian. Although the morale of the soldiers in the guards has recovered, killing a head and standing up has no effect of turning iron into gold.  I don't expect them to win immediately, as long as they can control the situation of the battle and change the one-sided decline, that's enough."

    Giving the Japanese pirates a little illusion of victory and attracting them here will help us wipe out the Japanese pirates once and for all.  But now Hiroshi Miyamoto has six new warships, plus their original ships, it is not difficult to take Yizhou, and this is what I am most worried about."

    He glanced at He Bingwen, and said solemnly: "Yizhou is very important to our mainland, it is now, and it will be even more so in the future. Mr. He should not take it lightly. If nothing else, just say that these pirates can cross the sea as far away as Japan  Come and harass me along the coast, if these robbers occupy the places close to you, Fujian will be troubled every day and night, how can there be a day of peace?"

    He Bingwen only focused on the current battle situation, but he didn't think so far. After listening to Yang Ling, think about it if the Japanese pirates worked hard to manage the barbarians.p; Bai Xiaocao took a breath and said slowly: "Caomin has a merchant ship coming back from Southeast Asia. They don't know that Mancijia has fallen into the hands of Western pirates.  Coincidentally, before the pirates boarded the ship, Hiroshi Miyamoto led nine warships to attack Manchuka, among them there were six new-style warships equipped with a large number of artillery."

    Yang Ling regained his energy all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked: "Oh? You know such details, it seems that your merchant ship escaped in the chaos and returned? Have you ever seen a naval battle between the two sides? How many warships were launched by the Western pirates? Which one will win?  Who is defeated?"

    Bai Xiaocao said solemnly: "Your Excellency, you can predict things like a god! The owner of my merchant ship is very clever, and the ship is also equipped with weapons. It was only because they didn't know that the thorns had changed hands, and they detained them when they docked.  So when the two sides fought together, he took the opportunity to repel the pirates on the shore who were about to board the ship, and set sail to leave.

    Three Western warships were dispatched, and there was a fierce battle with Miyamoto Hiroshi's nine warships in the strait. My merchant ship witnessed the whole battle.  In just over half an hour, Miyamoto's nine warships were sunk by three Western warships, four were sunk, two were damaged, the remaining three fled in panic, and one Western warship was injured.  The captain of my merchant ship saw that the situation was not good when the two sides decided the victory and defeat, so he escaped from the battle circle first and fled back to the island. Only then did the grassroots know that the Western pirates in Manthorna are so powerful."

    Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this: how come?  Nine battleships against three, including six new Ming warships, how could they lose so badly?  This is simply a replica of Han Wu's three warships against the Japanese pirates' eleven ships. The Western pirate ships are so powerful?

    He pondered for a while and came up with the answer, so he said slowly: "Well, the Japanese pirates are not very familiar with the new warships, and there are very few people who can handle artillery. Although they have weapons, they are not familiar with using them, which will inevitably lead to a big defeat!"

    Although Bai Xiaocao is naughty, knows how to steer the wind and flatter horses, but he dare not cover up such a big event, he said flatly: "Otherwise, my lord, my merchant ship can see clearly, the Japanese are really not skilled in using artillery, but it affects  Not too big. According to my captain's observation, the speed of Japanese warships is not weaker than that of Western ships. They only lost in two points:

    One is that Western artillery has a long range.  The waves on the sea are undulating, and it is difficult for the cannons to aim. Once a battle is fought, two ships approach and destroy the opponent's warships with the dense cannons. However, the cannons on the Japanese ships have to be close to one hundred feet to exert their power.  At 130 feet, they fired at the Japanese warship, and most of the Japanese shells fell into the sea, so they could only be beaten with their hands tied.

    Second, after the Japanese tried their best to destroy two warships and approached the Westerners, my captain could see clearly that the Japanese main battleship had sixteen cannons on the side of the ship, while the smaller Western warships had only twelve cannons.  But the interval between firing cannonballs was more than three times faster than that of the Japanese, so that twelve cannons were equivalent to thirty-six, and the Japanese were defeated."

    Yang Ling's complexion finally changed. Bai Xiaocao looked at his expression, her fat face became solemn, and she said in a deep voice, "We know that Western pirates are also trying to trick us. Although we are seeking life at sea,  Do some illegal activities, but after all, they are descendants of the Han people. If they are defeated by them, they can only be enslaved to these Western savages. Therefore, the grassroots discussed with the island owners of the islands under them, and everyone unanimously decided: Accept the imperial court's recruitment and deal with the officers and soldiers together  Western pirates!"

    In addition, let me explain the future update time: Yueguan is an office worker, and he can only type at night. When he codes until 12 o'clock, his face is greasy and sweaty, and he posts it in a hurry.  At two o'clock, I am tired, which makes the book friends also very tired.  Although I said before that everyone should read chapter by chapter, but some acquaintances told me: easier said than done, after all, knowing that there will be an update that night, I can't help it.

    To make matters worse, some people actually guessed that I updated so late to increase the monthly pass. What a smart person, as smart as the buddy who guessed that I updated late every day in the hope that book friends would keep refreshing the homepage of the book to increase clicks  .

    The monthly pass is dull, and most of the friends who read books will not only read one book, but see the updates of other books in advance, and sometimes vote out when they see a ticket, and there will be no tickets in their hands. Will it increase the monthly ticket if it is later?  ?  This kind of reverse thinking is quite remarkable.

    As for the speculation that refreshing the homepage of the book to see if there is any update will increase the clicks, I really don¡¯t understand. I always thought that opening the updated content can increase the clicks. It turns out that refreshing the homepage also adds clicks?  For major bugs, you can go to the starting point to make suggestions.

    Here, I will announce the future update time to my book friends: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is Sunday, and my update volume will only maintain the update volume of normal working days.  Update, unless business travel, illness, etc. run out of manuscripts, I will maintain this update method.  Of course, if I run out of saved manuscripts, I can also use the next rest day to make up the manuscripts. I hope this adjustment will make it easier for everyone to read books. Good night everyone ^_^(Remember the website URL: www  .hlnovel.com)??Update time in the future: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Sundays, and my update volume will only maintain the update volume during normal working days.  I'll keep this method of updating for as long as I can.  Of course, if I run out of saved manuscripts, I can also use the next rest day to make up the manuscripts. I hope this adjustment will make it easier for everyone to read books. Good night everyone ^_^(Remember the website URL: www  .hlnovel.com
