The 28th year of Shengqin, June [-]th!

Great Xia Dynasty, Huangjiang Haicheng!

Huangjiang Haicheng is located in the east of Daxia. It is a large coastal city. To the east is the boundless East China Sea. To the north is the turbulent Huangjiang estuary. What is Haikou?It is the area where the Yellow River water and sea water alternate.

With the natural danger of the Yellow River in the north and the vast East China Sea in the east, this Huangjiang sea city has become a very safe city. Now, because of the invasion of the Qin army, this city has become the most prosperous city in Daxia, with a high degree of prosperity. In the former imperial capital of Shangqiu!

Why is it so prosperous?

Because the people and things in the imperial capital of Shangqiu all fled to Huangjiang Haicheng to take refuge, Han Wang Ji Changluo, Yi Wang Ji Changshui, and Zhen Wang Ji Changzhen also fled to Huangjiang Haicheng with their defeated soldiers and returned from Handan Imperial Capital. Xia Emperor Ji Zhan of Great Xia also came here.

And establish Huangjiang Haicheng as the new capital of Great Xia!

In the sea area [-] nautical miles east of Huangjiang Haicheng, dozens of huge dark steel warships are riding the wind and waves. Judging from the black Qin character military flags erected by each warship, they are the navy of the Great Qin Dynasty. !

That's right, they are the Haozhou navy of the Great Qin Dynasty. All five fleets have come. The names of the fleets are:

Haozhou Fleet, Mengzhi Fleet, Mingguang Fleet, Jiyuan Fleet, Huaibei Fleet!

Each fleet has a total of 550 combat sailors, 1 gunners, and 960 oarsmen, plus the captain, deputy captain, captain, deputy captain, etc., the total number of people in a fleet More than [-] people!

Five fleets are one hundred and five thousand people!

On the deck of a Type-A gun-carrying warship with the flag of the Mingguang Fleet, Yin Hai, the captain of the Navy, stood on it with a middle-aged man and a young man. The clansman is the fifth-rank commander of the Haozhou Navy!

Rich Barenbit was originally a captain of the Prairie Army. By chance, he joined the Haozhou Navy. He has never seen the sea, so he is full of curiosity about the sea. When a person falls in love with something, then all It started with curiosity.

Soon, Fu Barenbit fell in love with the vast sea, and finally won the appreciation of Yin Hai, the captain of the navy, when he ran for the post of naval commander, and became the first naval commander of Haozhou, and became a fifth-rank military officer.

In the entire grassland tribe, the people with the highest official rank belonged to Alukgo and him.

Another young man named Wang Shi, a native of Xianyang Qin, was transferred from a preparatory camp in a certain place to the Haozhou Navy a year ago. In one year, he showed super talent and ability and became a regular seventh-rank Mingguang Fleet long!

Yin Hai looked ahead, and asked calmly, "How long will it take to arrive at the mouth of the Yellow River?"

The task of the Haozhou navy is to enter Zhao territory through the Huangjiang port, bombard the coast of Handan County, and help the land army cross the river!

Fubabilent took out a parchment map from his pocket. The maps used by the navy are all parchment maps because they are waterproof. When he unfolded the map to have a look, Fubabilent bowed respectfully and saluted: "Report Commander-in-Chief, we are still [-] nautical miles away from the port of Huangjiang, and at the current speed of our navy, it only takes two hours to reach the port of Huangjiang!"

The Navy's current speed is 10 knots, which is the highest speed of a Type-A gun-carrying warship.

"O! O!"

At this moment, a high-pitched, loud and sharp cry came from the sky. The sailors on the warship subconsciously looked up at the sky, and saw a white bird flying in the blue sky. The white bird circled in the sky, as if finding a foothold Like the ground, it landed on Yin Hai's shoulder.

It's a seagull, a tamed seagull.

The traffic at sea is inconvenient, which is not conducive to sending messages to each other, so Yin Hai came up with a way to tame the seagulls and use them to send messages.

Yin Hai grabbed the seagull, which had a small bamboo tube tied to one foot. Yin Hai untied the string, took the small bamboo tube, and then gave the seagull to Fubabilent. When Fubabilent took over the seagull, Yin Hai had already come from Pull out a small note from the small bamboo tube.

There was a line of tiny words written on the small piece of paper: Governor, the Huangjiang Haicheng near the Huangjiang Haikou is already the new capital of the Xia Dynasty!

The corners of Yin Hai's mouth curled up into a sneer, the note contained few words, but contained a lot of information. Huangjiang Haicheng was on the coast, and the east wall was less than two miles away from the coast. The city wall is also close to the mouth of the Huangjiang River, and the distance is no more than two miles.

Regardless of whether it is the east city wall or the north city wall, the three types of artillery-carrying warships A, B, and C can shoot shells into the city, let alone blow down the city wall.

Good news, absolutely good news, if the Haozhou navy breaks through the Huangjiang Haicheng, the new capital of the Xia Dynasty, the navy's contribution will be too great.

"Look!" Yin Hai handed the small note to Fubabilent, and at the same time took the seagull from the latter's hand, took out a few beans from his bosom, and fed them to the seagull. Fly up in the air.

Wherever you come from, you will fly from there.

"Oh my God, Chief Governor, we are going to make great achievements!"

When Fubabilent saw the content on the small note, he couldn't help but screamed in surprise. Wang Shi, the captain of the Mingguang Fleet, also hurried over to watch it. He was startled when he saw it. His face was red and his ears were red, he was very excited, and his tone trembled with excitement:

"Governor, Governor, we're sending it!"

It's really big, it's big!

"This is a great contribution from God to us!" Yin Hai also said quite excitedly.

When they set off, they didn't hear about the move of the Xia Dynasty's capital. They didn't expect that when they were about to approach the port of Huangjiang, the capital of the Xia Dynasty would actually move to Huangjiang Haicheng.

And this piece of fat can definitely support him.

The achievement of destroying the country is just around the corner!

PS: "It's three shifts today, please forgive me!"

Chapter 943 Live and die together?

"If our Haozhou navy captures Huangjiang Haicheng, and captures the emperor Xia Baiguan and the family members of the Xia royal family, the imperial court will definitely reward all the soldiers of the Haozhou navy. Commander, please order, let the fastest B-class warship directly bombard the Yellow River. Jianghai City, and then directly landed and fought, and took down Huangjianghai City in one go!" Fubabilent said excitedly.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Shi also nodded impatiently.

Yin Hai did not give an order directly, but thought over and over again, and came up with the best attack plan. After a while of thinking and analysis, he opened his mouth and gave an order: "This is the order of the great governor, and the semaphore is sent to the other four fleets. The target is changed to Huangjiang Haicheng, the whole navy is ready for battle!"

"The three types of gun-carrying warships of the whole navy division A, B, and C advanced at full speed. The Jiyuan Fleet and the Huaibei Fleet entered the Huangjiang Haikou and bombarded the northern city wall of Huangjiang Haicheng. The east wall of Huangjiang Haicheng!"

"After the city wall collapsed, if the enemy did not surrender, they would extend their cannon barrels and shell the city, bombing all areas within range once, and then the combat navy would go ashore and charge!"

"Obey!" Fuba Bilent and Wang Shigong responded!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shi took over the command flag from the command flag bearer, came to the stern of the warship, and played semaphores to the major fleets behind him one after another. Flag to the rest of the warships in their respective fleets.

After a period of time, the five fleets of the Haozhou Navy received the order to attack Huangjiang Haicheng. The entire navy's combat sailors couldn't help feeling a little nervous. It's normal to be nervous. Landing battles and attack battles!

Whether the Haozhou navy can become famous in Kyushu depends on whether it can capture Huangjiang Haicheng today!

At the same time, inside Huangjiang Haicheng County Guard's Mansion!

In the public hall of the county guard's mansion, Emperor Xia and Ji Zhan sat in the first place, and King Han, King Yi, King Zhen and Da Xiawu stood on the left and right sides of the hall. Huangjiang Haicheng was just a county town with simple facilities, only the county guards There is no palace, no palace or palace.

Moreover, because of the Great Xia policy, the wealthy people all over the country are in the imperial capital of Shangqiu, resulting in Huangjiang Haicheng not even having a decent mansion, so Emperor Xia, Ji Zhan and all the officials can only commit themselves to a small county guard's mansion .

Xia Di Jizhan is only in his early forties, but now he looks like an old man in his 70s or [-]s, with gray hair and pale skin, his former vigor has become a thing of the past, and he is under tremendous psychological pressure all the time.

"Daxia has been established for 320 years, and fourteen emperors have been handed down. Among the fourteen emperors, there are foolish emperors, wise emperors, and talented and bold emperors. But no matter who they are, they are not ashamed enough to be forced to move the capital. This precedent is destined to be infamous forever!"

"These days, I have been anxious and apprehensive, like sitting on a needle blanket, unable to sleep at night. I am afraid that one day, the Qin army will suddenly send troops down and break the Huangjiang Emperor's capital. I have already made up my mind. Live and die!"

Xia Di Jizhan said with a look of loneliness and determination.

"The ministers are willing to live and die with His Majesty!" Minister Wu bent down and shouted loudly with a solemn expression!

After the words fell, Hanwang Ji Changluo comforted: "Father, don't worry, the Huangjiang Emperor's capital is on the north of the Huangjiang Haikou and on the east of the vast sea. No matter how strong the Qin army is, it is only strong on land. They cannot fly over the Huangjiang River." River and sea!"

"When the son led the army to retreat, he had already destroyed all the bridges in the past. The Qin army would definitely not be able to cross it. Even if he wanted to build the bridge, he would not be able to repair it. As for whether the Qin army would build ships to cross the river, this son also thought about it. Alright, all the Great Xia Navy has been transferred to the Yellow River Basin!"

Under the oppression of the outside world, the Great Xia has peacefully unified internally and jointly externally.

After listening to Han Wang Ji Changluo's words, many ministers showed admiration, and couldn't help but look at the former a few more times, which made the former feel more complacent, while Yi Wang and Zhen Wang were a little unhappy, dissatisfied with Han Wang Ji Changluo's performance at this time.

Although the Great Xia was unified internally peacefully, the conflicts among the three kings could not be resolved. They just put the resistance against Qin in the first place, so they listened to Prince Zhen, Ji Changzhen, saying calmly: "Brother, the emperor transferred all the navy In the Yellow River Basin, have you thought about the consequences?"

When Ji Changzhen, Prince of Yi, saw Ji Changzhen's attack, he immediately followed suit and said, "Yes, brother, the Qin Dynasty also had naval forces, and the scale of the naval forces was not small. You can transfer all the naval forces to the Yellow River Basin. What about the north port and east port of the imperial capital?"

"If the navy of the Qin Dynasty comes suddenly, we can only stare blankly, and I heard that the warships of the navy of the Qin Dynasty are equipped with cannons, the power of the cannons, you know, the city walls can't stop it at all, when the time comes, Brother Huang will bear all the blame! "

After so many days, the three kings also know that the so-called thunder weapon is called artillery.

Faced with the attack from his two younger brothers, Han Wang Ji Changluo smiled noncommittally and said, "How long has it been since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty Navy? Even if they can annihilate Yin Li, it is only because they are relatively close to each other. Your Highness has already seen the territory map." , from Haozhou Navy to Huangjiang Haicheng, there are [-] nautical miles!"

"At the speed of an ordinary warship, it takes one month to go [-] nautical miles, and the sailing time alone takes one month, plus the time-consuming operations such as combat. If you continue to sail in the open sea, you must put a lot of food and supplies on board!"

"How much food and supplies can a warship hold? No matter how big the warships of the Qin Dynasty navy were, the carrying capacity of the warships was also limited. The navy achieved a key victory!"

"The navies of the coastal countries are mostly used to combat pirates and clean up the safety of their own waters. Who would use the navies to head-to-head with the navies of other dynasties? Of course, there have been many since ancient times, but whether it is victory or defeat, it is the same Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred!"

"No matter how much money the Qin Dynasty has, it can't afford to be so frantic, so His Highness can assure you that the Qin Dynasty Navy will definitely not attack Huangjiang Haicheng. Even if they come, they will just wander around and scare people. Hehe, how many letters do you have?"

"It's not like you don't know how big a cannon is. It's impossible for that thing to be loaded on a warship. If you force it on it, the warship will sink directly. This is the news that the Qin Dynasty Navy deliberately released, specifically to scare people!"

PS: "Today's weather is warmer, not as cold as yesterday, so today's [-]th watch will be updated as usual, yesterday's [-]rd watch is sorry, and I hope that brothers who have conditions can fully book and support it, thank you."

Chapter 944 The Emperor Xia Who Knows His Mistakes and Doesn't Correct It!

Han Wang Ji Changluo's analysis was as fierce as a tiger, and many ministers praised him again and again:

"His Royal Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I admire you!"

"His Royal Highness is confident, and the minister is at ease!"

Yi Wang Ji Changshui and Zhen Wang Ji Changzhen also stopped talking. In fact, the two of them had the same thoughts as Han Wang Ji Changluo. The latter just wanted to feel nauseous, but ended up shooting himself in the foot. Let the latter shine again.

Xia Di Ji Zhan also nodded at this time and said in agreement: "Han King is right, Huangjiang and Haicheng are absolutely safe, but it's a pity that half of my country is a pity, that's all, let's not talk about this, all the lovers are talking about the next step. what to do."

As soon as the words fell, Prime Minister Zhang Buyu immediately stood up and made an editorial salute and replied: "Your Majesty, we must not be able to defend the three counties north of the Yellow River Basin. The most urgent task now is to appease the five counties south of the Yellow River Basin as soon as possible. !"

"Because of the previous chaos, the people of the five counties in the south suffered from hunger and cold. I asked your Majesty to allocate grain and grass to the counties, and open warehouses to release grain. I also know that in the battle of Manshanguan, all the grain stored in my Great Xia fell into the trap. Qin Jun, but when Shikun escaped from the Shangqiu imperial capital, he fled with food, so you can borrow it from them!"

"The borrowed food is used to appease the people, and to maintain the expenditure of the army, so as to prevent the soldiers from starving and unable to fight!"

Hearing this, Xia Di, Ji Zhan and the three kings were quite different.

Zhang Buyu's meaning was very clear. To borrow food from Shi Kun, this kind of borrowing was of course not repayable, and Zhang Buyu was the representative of the Shi Kun Group. Didn't he turn his arm around when he did this?

But this is not incomprehensible, the Great Xia has not been destroyed, they can still be their aristocratic family masters, landlord masters, and live a happy life as a master, but if the Great Xia is destroyed and replaced by the Qin Dynasty, Shi Kun will be Became the poorest group of people.

The policies of the Qin Dynasty were too detrimental to Shi Kun, as if every policy was set up for Shi Kun, and it did not give Shi Kun a good life at all.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia, Ji Zhan and the three kings actually felt grateful to the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Dynasty, if you were not an enemy, I would definitely be your brother.

"Borrow, how can I borrow it?" Xia Di Ji Zhan asked curiously.

"It is ordered to set up a fundraising platform in the city, so that Shi Kun can take the initiative to lend food and money to the imperial court!" Zhang Buyu bent down and replied with a solemn expression.

After hearing this, Xia Diji Zhan didn't continue to ask any more questions. Although Zhang Buyu's method was unreliable, since Zhang Buyu said that he wanted to borrow money from Shi Kun, it meant that he had already discussed it with Shi Kun. Now it is only necessary for the court to put on a show and let them lend money to the court in a logical manner.

I have to say, this trick is really good!

What a wonderful way, borrowing and donating seem to be word for word, but in fact there is a huge difference. When the court borrows money, the court is the debtor, and Shi Kun is the creditor. If the court wants to move them in the future, it has to consider this relationship. Nothing left, only a patriotic reputation.

The most important thing is that if the Qin Dynasty destroys the Great Xia and wants to settle accounts with the great Xia Shikun who borrowed money, Shi Kun can be said to be forced by the Xia Dynasty to borrow and make himself a victim, so that the Qin Dynasty has no reason to rectify They are gone.

This is really right and wrong!

"Since what Aiqing said is in order, then I won't say anything, let Aiqing take charge of this matter, and I won't interfere!" Xia Di Ji Zhan didn't want to take care of this matter, even if he wanted to take care of it No, this is an internal matter of the Shikun Group.

"The minister leads the decree!" Zhang Buyu leaned over and responded.

At this time, a minister stepped out of the queue and saluted respectfully and solemnly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

Xia Diji Zhan looked up, and saw that the minister who stood up was Shi Nai, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites. Shi Nai was an old minister. He was more than 70 years old this year, and he was the oldest in the entire court, and the only one of the two dynasties. Minister!

"It's Shi Aiqing. I heard people say, isn't Aiqing sick? Why didn't she rest at home and come to the court with her? Did she get better?" Xia Diji Zhan asked curiously.

Shi Nai was getting old, and fell ill on the way from Shangqiu Emperor Capital to Huangjiang Haicheng. He heard from the ministers with him that he was quite sick. If Shi Nai hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, he would not have known that Shi Nai had come to court.

Shi Nai bowed expressionlessly, and then said in a vicissitudes of life and weak voice: "Thank you for your concern, the old minister's illness is not cured, and he came here with a serious illness. The old minister came today, only One thing, that is the matter of establishing a reserve!"

Xia Di Ji Zhan's face darkened instantly, and the three kings and Minister Wu also lowered their heads in taboo.
