In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the first year of the Empress of Daming Tianshou was in late September.

The officer worships the Grand General of the Ming Empire, the commander of the Jingwei and the governor of the five armies, the admiral of the Ming navy, and the admiral of the East China Sea. Li led the Li family's elite musketeer equipped with a flintlock Miner rifle. The ship was unloaded from the battleship. With more than one hundred artillery pieces and more than 30,000 various auxiliary soldiers, he fought against the thieves under the private city of Xi'an, the Dashun country.

At this time, the puppet Dashun national thief army, which had been defeated on the front line in Huaiqing and Pingyang, did not leave behind closed doors, and prepared in advance to build a strong wall and clear the country. It seems that the Ming army wants to force retreat?

"..."

At this time, in the palace of Xi'an, Li Zicheng, who claimed to be the Emperor of Dashun State, was wearing gold armor and sitting high on his throne dragon chair, watching the generals present silently.

Looking around, the generals of Dashun State standing on both sides of his throne are: General Yuan Zongdi of the right battalion system, General Liu Fangliang of the left battalion system, Liu Zongmin of Ruhou and the left governor, Li Laiheng, Tian Jianxiu and so on. In the column, and besides them, there are other generals of Dashun country.

Right now, they are discussing a good strategy for retreating the enemy here in the palace!

but……

The firearms of the Ming army were sturdy and sharp. That kind of firecrackers could put people to death from thousands of steps away. Thousands of people fired volleys together. The momentum was so terrible that neither horses nor men could get close?

In addition to that terrible blunderbuss, the artillery of the Ming army is also terrible!

Because, their range is said to be several miles and also extremely accurate?

Therefore, although the generals of the Dashun Kingdom had the intention to kill the enemy, they were still unable to return to heaven. In the end, there was no good way except to sit in the lonely city of Xi'an and have to go to the sturdy wall and clear the country.

"Talk about it all!"

"Say it!"

"What shall we do next?"

"Is it possible that I will be trapped alive in this city of Xi'an by the 30,000 or 40,000 Ming army?!"

Before, after Shanhaiguan was defeated by Wu Sangui and Jiannu, Li Zicheng hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor in the Forbidden City, and then fled all the way back to Xi'an, where he fled back to his base camp.

From then on, he began to call himself an emperor, and he usually used words like ‘I’ to show his identity.

"..."

"..."

Hearing Li Zicheng’s question, the officials of Dashun Kingdom looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Liu Zongmin bit his head and stood up and said slowly:

"His Majesty!"

"The city defense of Xi'an has been rebuilt and operated by us for many years. The walls are high and deep, and it is not possible for 30,000 to 50,000 people to attack it."

"Furthermore, the grain harvested in the autumn and the food from the villages and towns nearby were all robbed and transported to the city in advance by me. This time the Ming army came all the way, and certainly not much grain and grass were brought along. There is no harvest near the particles, the material must not last!"

"If you want to come, as long as three or two months, as long as half a month, the Ming army will not be able to sustain it, and it will definitely retreat!"

"By then..."

"I waited and waited for work, and then went out of the city to cover up and kill. Maybe I can still get something?"

Liu Zongmin shook his head and said.

In his opinion, the city of Xi’an is definitely not so easy to be breached. After all, there are nearly 100,000 defenders in the city. Although the field battle is definitely not defeated, they also dare not go out with that group of the Ming army. Enemies who are all very different are fighting in the field, but if they defend the city, it must be no problem in his opinion.

Even if you put yourself in the position and think about it, it is basically that there is no good way to take advantage of the towering walls and deep trenches of Xi'an City if it is replaced by his Liu Zongmin leading the three to fifty thousand Ming army.

"General Quan said exactly!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, don't bother, let's just guard in the city with delicious food and drink, and let the officers and soldiers attack us!"

"Yes! I'm afraid of him being a bird!"

"Yes!"

"As the saying goes, Sun Tzu's art of war has a saying: ten encircles, five attacks, doubles fights, the enemy can fight, if the enemy is small, he can escape, if not, he can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, big Capture the enemy?"

"Now my Dashun country's defense force is at least three times that of the Ming army, and there is a strong city as a proof, but he only has more than 30,000 people to attack, so what can I do?"

"Okay! The General Right said it was good!"

"Also! Now the northwest is about to enter winter, let's eat spicy food in the city next, let the Ming soldiers drink the northwest wind outside and freeze them to death!"

"Hahaha!"

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, soon, the right-wing system generals Yuan Zongdi, the left-wing system generals Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Tian Jianxiu and others laughed loudly, and you said each other. After discussing, the solemn atmosphere just disappeared in an instant.

Although they are indeed a little afraid of the Ming army and the terrible firecrackers of the other side, they are now defending the city. They just need to hide behind the city wall. They always have to attack the city, and the siege is always close. When the time comes, once the opponent is close to the city wall, even if their defenders are replaced by one, they will be able to take away the 30,000 Ming troops in a few days. Did you change it?

"..."

Li Zicheng didn't speak, he was not as optimistic as his confidants.

However, after Liu Zongmin and the ridicule and ridicule discussion of those silly guys, his face is a little better at last, and his confidence in defending Xi'an City is even better.

"Well?"

"What's the matter?"

"Did the Ming army attack the city?"

Suddenly, Li Zicheng turned his head and looked at the gate of the palace, because at this time, he saw that a general was rushing in here quickly.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers outside the city sent us a letter!"

As he said, the general handed over a document he held in his hand, and he still seemed unable to change a certain verbal habit, so much so that he subconsciously believed that the Ming army was an official army, and he was still so used to it. Called sexually.

"read!"

His face condensed, but Li Zicheng didn't mean to be presented, but instead indicated that he would read it directly.

"this……"

It's a pity that the general suddenly became a little hesitant and embarrassed. He held the letter but didn't open it, but looked around and didn't know what to do.

Because, he doesn't know a few big characters at all!

The reason why he ran back to report the letter as soon as he got the letter sent by the Ming army under the city, was just that he wanted to brush up on their presence in front of their King Chuang, the current Emperor of Dashun Kingdom, so that he could be simple. In Dixin, it was really embarrassing for him to read it out.

"Get it!"

"Get back quickly!"

Liu Zongmin obviously also saw the embarrassment of the partial general, so he simply walked over, snatched the letter from the opponent, and motioned to the other party to withdraw quickly before the emperor was not angry.

"Well……"

"His Majesty."

"That's what it says in the letter..."

After looking at the content of the letter, and then at the Li Zicheng on the dragon chair, after hesitating, Liu Zongmin still had to gritted his teeth:

"Xincheng breaks, breaks thieves... Li Zicheng, the chief of thieves..."

"Thank you that after you entered Beijing, you snatched out from the palace '37 million silver ingots, 10 million gold ingots, five hundred taels of ingots, and the word "Yongle"?"

"I also heard that since entering Beijing on March 27, the 17th year of Chongzhen, he began torturing Ming officials and ransacking their homes, stipulating that the amount of subsidy was 100,000 yuan in the middle hall and 70,000 yuan or fifty thousand three in the capital of the ministry. Ten thousand, fifty-three thousand for Dao Branch officials, thirty-two thousand for Hanlin, and thousands for subordinates and subordinates.'Range?"

"So..."

"Ling Er waits to open the door to surrender, and within three days hand over ten million silver ingots, two million gold ingots, and five hundred taels of ingots, no mistake!"

"If not, the day the city breaks in three days will be the time for you to give the head!"

"Admiral of the Daming Navy, Admiral of the East China Sea Li..."

After reading, Liu Zongmin subconsciously touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

Because he knew that this letter of persuasion to surrender was meaningless. Although they did get a lot of gold and silver when they were in the capital, most of those things were distributed long ago, and now they can easily get them even if they want to. Not so much!

Besides, those Ming troops looked down on people too much. They didn’t even start fighting, so they let Dashunguo surrender and pay for compensation. That was too much look down on people. Whether it was their generals or the king, they probably wouldn’t. It may be acceptable.

Boom! !

"You wait to go back and make preparations, three days later..."

"Let him attack the city!"

Sure enough, he slapped the table sharply, Li Zicheng got up from his dragon chair with a gloomy face, and after saying this expressionlessly, he walked away bitterly.

Three days later...

Li led the army to attack the east gate of Xi'an, the admiral of the Daming navy and the admiral of the East China Sea, who was worshipped by the general, the commander of Jingwei and the governor of the five armies.

More than a hundred cannons blasted the city gate and wall of the east gate for more than an hour. Under the violent bombardment of a large number of blooming and solid bullets, the city’s head was a sea of ​​flames, and people and animals were turned into dust, and the defenders were casualties. It's terrible, and there are few people in the city's head.'

Subsequently, the city gate and the city wall near the city gate collapsed. Then, under the precise shooting cover of the Li family musketeers and the fierce blow of the platoon guns, the 20,000 Ming army auxiliary soldiers swarmed in without encountering any effective resistance. In less than half a day, the city of Xi'an was declared broken, and the king Li Zicheng led tens of thousands of defeated troops and fled in embarrassment. He passed through Lantian and Shangzhou, walked through Wuguan, and retreated into Xiangyang.

Subsequently, the official army of the Northern Ming Dynasty destroyed the puppet Shunguo and recovered Tongguan and Xi'an. The texts soon spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Nanming who received the texts and intelligence was in an uproar, and the world was shaken!

...

However, at this time, the changes in the Ming Empire were not known to the Li family fleet and admirals far away in Europe or the New World of America.

For example, in the huge bathtub of the Mediterranean Sea, five huge ships of the Li's fleet led by the Admiral of a miserable little girl are slowly sailing on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea.

The fleet just set off from Istanbul three days ago and is now sailing in the direction of Athens. Because of the headwind, the speed of the fleet is not too fast. It is estimated that it will take at least one or two days to reach Athens, which is also in Ottoman. A Greek port under the control of the empire.

"??"

"Uncle Mate, why are you looking upset?"

Song Yifeng, who was tiptoeing out of the captain's room of the'Xiang Feihu', was afraid to disturb a certain little girl, the chief admiral who was sleeping, and saw the boat gang on the deck supporting one side at a glance. His face was full of depression. His expression, the chief mate who didn't know what he was looking at or thinking about.

"Did that pirate Aziza make some moths again?"

So, subconsciously, Song Yifeng asked, and started searching on the deck for the figure of the female pirate Azhisha who had been dishonest and had never given up the idea of ​​running away and making trouble.

Soon, she saw that the female pirate was washing her Song Yifeng's clothes and socks on the bow at this time, but she didn't know whether the other party washed them with fresh water or secretly washed them with sea water.

"no."

"only……"

"The Grand Admiral insists on cooperating with that Ottoman, I am always a little worried."

"Ugh……"

Four days ago, their Grand Admiral agreed to the request of the Ottoman Navy Commander-in-Chief Hedem Afmeedo Pasha at the banquet and prepared to unite with the opposing navy to fight against the gatherings at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. The Spanish Invincible Fleet.

It was supposed to be a good thing, but, I don't know why, the first officer thought carefully after returning, but always felt a little worried, so that he was so depressed in the past two days.

"Worry?"

"why?"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Song Yifeng was a little inexplicable, wondering what the other party meant.

Anyway, it seemed to her that it would be great if someone rushed to the door and was willing to go out and sail with them to trouble the Spaniards.

"It's good, but..."

"I always feel that this time the Grand Admiral, I'm afraid that he will be deceived by the old and cunning Ottoman!"

"I guess that the Ottoman will not really be like what they said, and will really be willing to confront the Spaniard head-on!"

Shaking his head, the first officer said in a deep voice with a slightly dignified expression.

"what?"

"No way?"

In the blink of an eye, Song Yifeng didn't know why the other party was so worried.

"Ugh……"

"I have some doubts. I always feel that they have made it clear this time that they want us to drive forward and act as cannon fodder, so that we can go and consume the Spanish fleet in the Strait of Gibraltar. Then, he and the pirate king Haireding's fleet will take the opportunity to fish in the back. Profit?"

"If that's the case, this Mediterranean, maybe the Ottoman Empire will have the final say in the future."

"The second admiral, you know, we don't have so many manpower to interfere here in the Mediterranean for the time being, here is too far away from Daming, our fleet is very small, and even the business station in Africa is maintained by the help of Nagopur's manpower. "

"!!!"

"That……"

"Then what do you say?"

Song Yifeng has thought about these complicated things again, anyway, she grew up in the mountain, and she only knew the Taoist female Taoist aunt would definitely not understand.

"I do not know either!"

"Ugh……"

"I hope the Grand Admiral can have a plan?"

With that said, the first officer quietly glanced at the door of the captain's room that was still closed with some worry.

Right now he has no good way, after all, they are always going to fight Spain, otherwise, they will not be able to go out to the Mediterranean!

"plan?"

"impossible!"

"Never possible!"

"Uncle Mate, I'll tell you, Admiral Anne, she has never made any plans, so you should die of that heart early, so hurry up and think of a solution by yourself!"

Song Yifeng, who ate, lived and slept with Annie for so long, had already had a deep understanding of the tragic little girl Grand Admiral, so she was sure to be sure and sure that the first officer in front of her was looking forward to something. A bad little girl will think of a good idea or something, it must be impossible!

"..."

(??′?`?)?~zzZZ

"Hmm..."

(っ?-?)

"..."

-=????(|3[▓▓])

In the Captain's Room~lightnovelpub.net~ Some messy little girl seems to have vaguely sensed that someone is talking about her or saying bad things about her, but she didn't mind, she just whispered and rubbed her eyes, and then pulled the quilt. , Then turned around and went to sleep.

After all, it is now late September, and it will soon be snowing in winter, the autumn wind is bleak, the weather is strangely cold, and when the weather is cold, you can sleep well!
