There is nothing easy about the preparation process.
"These are not Liu Mingqi's strengths, but with the whole world paying attention, the Northern Navy also showed the most positive energy.
"On the second day after Fang Lei and the others arrived, more than ninety ships had already departed from Lianyungang.
That¡¯s not all.
The Dengzhou Navy will send out more than thirty ships to protect them, all of which are large warships.
This fleet, which has concentrated almost two-thirds of the strength of Dakang's northern navy, will basically have no problems as long as it does not encounter a large gathering of Japanese and northern and southern pirates.
Moreover, the Southern Navy had already joined forces with the Zhoushan Navy to blockade the Yizhou Strait and the East China Sea.
Pirates only like hot weather, not cold weather.
The colder it gets as you go north, it¡¯s obvious that they won¡¯t come to the north on their own initiative.
As for the Japanese pirates, their navy does not yet have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the northern navy, otherwise they would not have used so many small tricks before.
When a serious Dakang navy appears in this sea area, it will be a complete king!
In addition to the necessary supplies, there are also 5,000 cavalry on board.
Half of these cavalry are Yulin Guards, and the other half are Jiangnan garrison troops who performed well in this battle. They were selected to fight with Yulin Guards.
no way.
There are only more than 2,000 Yulin Guards, and there is no way to form a huge deterrent and response capability.
So the imperial court ordered Liu Renhuai to select 5,000 people and transport them to Lianyungang in an emergency. Then they were selected and deployed, and finally they all boarded the ship.
These five thousand cavalrymen and their supplies occupied more than a dozen large transport ships.
From the first day we went to sea, there were more than a dozen hot air balloons floating in the sky.
??Every morning it goes up, and it comes down at noon; it goes up at dusk, and it comes down again at night.
The ideal thing is to land on a nearby ship, but many times they can only land on the nearby sea, and then the smallest ship in the fleet goes to salvage and rescue them.
There were even ones hung directly on the sails. Within a few days, three people were seriously injured and seven were slightly injured in the accident.
One of the injured was Fang Lei.
He was simply hurt by a sudden gust of wind and hit the boat directly, then fell down.
There were only thirty-seven of them in total. Such a proportion of injuries made a group of melon-eating people tremble. But even Fang Lei appeared in the hot air balloon in high spirits the next day, wrapped in bandages.
Those who can follow Fang Lei are the servants and guards of Prince Yu's Mansion assigned to him by Liu Mingqi from the beginning.
"These people are the most reliable people. At least two generations of their families have worked in Prince Yu's Mansion. They are completely born under a death contract.
When they came here, their parents and wives had warned that this time you would most likely be carrying His Highness. We have only one His Highness in Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion. No matter how hard you work, you must ensure his safety!
Because, his safety is the safety of our whole family.
Um.
The reason is very simple.
With Liu Mingqi dead, is it still necessary for Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion to exist?
Twenty or thirty years later, this palace will no longer exist, and it will not even be qualified to be demoted and inherited.
Once Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion ceased to exist, the children of these families would become ghosts in their graves, and they would all of a sudden fall into ruin.
What will happen to the life of the whole family then?
So even from the most realistic perspective, they would rather die themselves than let Liu Mingqi die.
They also brought letters from Mr. and Mrs. Yuwang and Sister Su to Liu Mingqi.
King Yu wrote a few words of encouragement in a decent manner, but Princess Yu scolded this little bastard for being unfilial and dared to leave them behind to do such a thing!
Once is not enough, why come again?
But even though her mother scolded herself, Liu Mingqi still felt very moved and guilty in her heart as she held the hard letter paper that was obviously soaked in tears and then dried.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety.
He now understands this.
The letter written by Xiao Suqin was also quite sad. Some were worried about Liu Mingqi, but also felt guilty that she had been grateful for two months but had received nothing.
Fortunately, Boss Su didn¡¯t say such depressing words as ¡°I couldn¡¯t leave you a child.¡±
Of course, these are not important to Liu Mingqi.
&nbs?
The previous wasteful situation in the three major cities that were the first line of defense in Zhejiang will never happen again.
This time Fang Xiaopang and the others came over, and the Hundred Thousand Niu Guards who had been sent by Liu Mingqi to protect them also came back. This group of people had also received special training for more than a month. They were much stronger than the ordinary Thousand Niu Guards, but they had an extra bonus. combat effectiveness.
"Mingyou, try to bring them back alive!"
Before leaving, Liu Mingqi gave her cousin a warm hug.
Liu Mingyou was obviously not used to such enthusiasm, but he still nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I'm here, they are here."
"It's better to forget it."
Liu Mingqi quickly smiled bitterly, "If something cannot be done, don't force it, and don't involve yourself in it. If anything happens to me, Dakang's technology tree will depend on you to climb it!"
The young man spoke in an understatement, but Liu Mingyou's heart trembled when he heard it.
He was used to hearing words like "climbing the technology tree", but his cousin master said such decisive words so calmly, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Liu Mingyou has a weak nature, but he is not ignorant.
¡°I know that in this kind of matter, Liu Mingqi will definitely explain everything that needs to be explained.
But when he thought that Liu Mingqi was likely to die, he still felt a little sad.
In the midst of sadness, Liu Mingyou didn't notice that Fang Lei standing next to him also frowned in the same way.
That¡¯s right.
Liu Mingqi also said this to him once.
When nothing can be done, never go to Jinzhou City to save him. Stopping losses in time is the most important thing.
"But you say it so easily, but how can it be so easy to do it!"
Fang Xiaopang¡¯s face was uncertain, and he didn¡¯t know what he was thinking.
¡¡
Just like that, the separated fleet continued to sail at high speed for more than a day before arriving at Jinzhou Port.
Jinzhou Port is the largest port in this area.
There were thousands of merchants on that unclaimed land, and their goods came in and out from here.
Relying on trade, the people around Jinzhou City used to be very wealthy.
"It's a pity that once the war broke out, there was no human habitation here at all.
The Shiwei Allied Forces had already sent thousands of cavalry to patrol and review the surrounding areas, always preventing the Dakang army from landing here.
??For example, now.
Having received the news a long time ago, they have quickly dispatched 10,000 elite cavalry. They all stood not far from the dock, staring at the approaching fleet.
Under such circumstances, forced landing is absolutely impossible. Even those who land with heavy losses will be the targets of massacre.
The pier was built by the Dakang people themselves. It is spacious and flat, and the cavalry can use it here.
His reputation as the best cavalryman in the world is not something he can boast about!
In this regard, let alone Dakang, even the Xiqiang and Uighurs dare not talk back.
The last time Liu Mingjing and the others led the Yulin Guards to kill them, the most important thing was to catch them off guard.
The people of Shiwei did not expect that there would be such a cunning operation of relying on ships to deliver so many troops to their rear.
But when they came to their senses, they chased and intercepted them all the way, killing them like a raging fire.
"If Liu Mingjing and the others hadn't brought enough wooden-handled grenades, and there were peerless generals like Liu Mingjing charging into the battle, I'm afraid only a few hundred of the more than 5,000 people would have escaped alive. Thank God.
Fortunately, Liu Mingqi never thought about facing them head-on.
Just looking at the neat cavalry team, Liu Mingqi began to imagine that if he had gunboats, even those from the 19th century, with such a burst of blast, no matter how elite the cavalry was, they would collapse.
Pity!
"We can only consider installing artillery in a few years when the shipbuilding technology in the south of the Yangtze River becomes more sophisticated and the four-masted sailboats are made to perfection.
But by that time, could I already make a qualified cast-iron cannon?
Thinking of this, Liu Mingqi felt a little distracted.
Of course, his distraction did not affect the operations of Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin.
In fact, the connection between Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City and the outside world has never been broken.
The rumors in those books that falcons specialize in catching homing pigeons are not very true.
Especially at night, falcons cannot be seen at all and rely on their own infrared sensing to capture some food.
Pigeons are so smart at night that hawks and falcons can hardly catch them.
Therefore, the two cities with hundreds of homing pigeons in stock always know the news from the outside, and the outside also knows the situation inside.
¡°Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have sent people desperately to rescue them and burn down Shiwei¡¯s food road at the most critical moment.
There are also many spies of the Dakang Army among the businessmen in the "Three No Matters" zone.
"The same was true on the ship. Liao Shicong and Zhang Qin had been in contact with them.
So Liu Mingqi and the others not only knew about the situation in Jinzhou City, but also about the situation where the merchants in the Sangui zone had been looted. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp; Pigeons are so smart at night that hawks and falcons can hardly catch them.
