Chapter 429 Anti-Qing, what else can you do if you don't restore the Ming Dynasty?
After ten days, the huge fleet finally left Bohai Bay, crossed the Jiaodong Peninsula, traveled all the way to the southeast, and arrived at a big island. Wu Pingping, who had never taken a boat, vomited dark almost every day in the first two or three days. However, after gradually adapting, he escaped from the sky and looked at the endless blue waves, and the fish jumped over the sea in a happy mood.
Every day, they will take a boat to other boats, because long-term sea voyages will make people emotional, and they naturally have to shoulder the responsibility of appeasing their fathers and relatives.
What shocked them was that everything they saw, not to mention the huge fleet that could carry 60,000 to 70,000 people, those majestic and ridiculously tall warships, and the shipboard artillery as dense as a honeycomb, were enough to show their extreme strength.
After communicating with Li Zhengdao, who has been with him, Wu Ping has learned a lot in the past ten days. He knew that this time he came to help them escape from the hands of the officers and soldiers, but it was only one of the fleets under Liang Pengfei. There were still three fleets of this size, and, The number of warships is still increasing rapidly.
And those Marines of the First Fleet, which annihilated nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers and blocked the Mongolian Iron Horse, are just one of the elite troops under Liang Pengfei's command. Yes, just one of them.
In addition, the merchant ships and fishing boats that came to pick them up were transferred from Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong. That is to say, more than 60% of the sea ships of the whole Qing Dynasty are here. Some of these ships belong to Zhu Yu, a giant merchant who almost dominates the maritime commerce and trade in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other provinces. There are more of the most powerful merchants such as Pan, Wu, Ye and Lu, who belong to the thirteen banks of Guangdong, as well as the Hailian bank of the old Liang family in Guangdong, and some of them are even transferred from Nanyang.
Just thinking about it, for the sake of his villagers and relatives, Liang Pengfei actually mobilized so many resources, consumed so much strength, and even sent troops deep into the Qing Dynasty to fight. Wu Ping felt that the kindness was difficult to pay, and he couldn't help but be surprised that Liang Pengfei's strength was huge.
--------------------
It's not only him, but also the rebels, from the generals to the soldiers. When Li Zhengdao brought Liang Pengfei's deeds together, Wu Pingren went from the beginning of astonishment and disbelief, to shock to the final numbness. Yes, it was like listening to a mythical story. It was so magical. The rise of it is really hard to believe, but the fact that he can mobilize so many resources, this heinously strong fleet, and the naval force that can defeat the cavalry with infantry is enough to prove that Li Zhengdao's words are definitely not deceiving himself.
Stepping onto the dock, looking at the silver beach and the blue waves, and the lush green plants on the beach made Wu Pingren a novelty. It belongs to the oceanic climate, which is very pleasant. In the coldest season, there will be no ice, let alone snow. Therefore, many people from Shandong who have come here to live and farm. Li Zhengdao pointed to the distance with a smile on his face full of pride, and on the dock, many people with Shandong accents were helping the men, women and children of the Rebels leave the dock and go to the prepared residential area.
"In addition, this island did not belong to the Kingdom of Korea. It was originally a country of first reading power and was called the State of Danluo. Later, the prince of the State of Danluo entered Goryeo. Goryeo abolished the name of the State of Danluo and set up Danluo County. Later, it was captured by the Yuan Dynasty. After that, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and returned to North Korea. Half a year ago, General Fan Wencai of the Beiyang Fleet of the Chinese Navy led the Beiyang Fleet from North Korea and got the right to rule the island. Li Zhengdao raised his eyebrows proudly. Fan Wencai, who had been cruising the waters around Japan and the Kingdom of Korea, really lived up to the trust of Master Liang. He not only controlled Hokkaido, but also brought back the island most suitable for grazing, so that Liang Pengfei finally had a piece to train a large number of riders. Soldier's base.
"It's really good here. It's really a feng shui treasure." Wu Peng's face was full of envy, and his words aroused the approval of the rebel generals around him.
"Of course, in addition to being suitable for people to live in, it also has a vast grassland. Previously, it was a place for horse herding in North Korea, but now it is already a place for our adults to cultivate good horses and train cavalry, which is thousands of miles wide. However, it is now in its infancy. In addition to the more than 2,000 Arabian horses and some Western thoroughbred horses purchased from those Westerners, only one cavalry training camp with less than 300 people has just been formed. Li Zhengdao turned his head and smiled at Wu Pingren and said, "If General Wu is interested, you can go and have a look with me after arranging everything."
"Look, I must see it. I really haven't ridden an Arab horse. Is it better than a Mongolian horse?" The burly man standing among the rebel generals couldn't help shouting loudly. His name is Wang Huzi. He was originally a famous horse thief in Zhili Mongolia, and most of the rebel cavalry came from his subordinates.
"I don't know about this. After all, I'm just a staff member of the intelligence system. However, those horses are indeed very tall. I once saw a British horse bought from India on the island. What's it called... Claysdale horse, its back is even taller than mine. If you get on the horse, you can only use it. Just get on the horse stone or a stool. Li Zhengdao's words aroused everyone's interest and agreed to see if the horse was as exaggerated as Li Zhengdao said the next day.
After browsing the wind here and resting for three days, Shi Xianggu met the generals of the Rebels again. You all live here like this. A few days ago, because I was too busy with official business and there were many miscellaneous things to deal with, I came to see you today. Please don't be surprised.
"I dare not be, the kindness of General Shi and Lord Liang, we remember in our hearts that I came to see General Shi today. First of all, I am grateful to General Shi for his righteous help. If there is no help from your subordinates, I'm afraid we have fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers." Wu Ping said solemnly after giving a salute to Aunt Shi Xiang.
"They are all descendants of Yan and Huang, Chinese compatriots, to help you escape from the Qing court, which is what we should do. After resting here, you must also know the current situation. I don't know what you plan to do in the future, but I can provide you with four ways. Of course, the choice is in your hands. " Shi Xianggu said with a faint smile.
The room immediately became quiet, and Wu Pingren also listened attentively, because it would be related to their future fate. In fact, in the past three days, they not only wandered here, but also comforted people's hearts, but more importantly, they were also discussing themselves. The fate of.
What is the purpose of Lord Liang doing this? It is the biggest problem that bothers them. Most of this righteous army are poor people. Even if they were rich before, such as the Wu family, they had a lot of money in the local area, but after the rebellion, the most valuable fields and houses were all left behind. What other wealth and silk can make people move? So, let them guess what they couldn't guess, and when they asked Li Zhengdao, the answer that guy told them was really unbelievable.
Well, it's exactly the same as this beautiful female general. They are all descendants of Yan and Huang and Chinese compatriots. It is our responsibility and obligation to save you, but the problem is that it fell into Wu Pingping's ears. I always feel something is wrong. Yes, when will there be a free lunch in the world?
--------------------
But when the sentence behind Shi Xianggu came out, Wu Pingren knew that the answer was likely to be revealed here.
"I believe you should know that now, you have been wanted by the Qing court and can't go back for the time being. Now, there are several choices in front of you. If you want, you can stay here and wait for the Qing court to be overthrown before returning home. In addition, you can also go north to the country that originally belonged to Japan. Now I live in Kyushu Island or Hokkaido, which belongs to my husband; of course, I can also go south to the south and live in the south..."
"General Shi, can Wu ask a question?" After hearing the choice given by Shi Xianggu, Wu Ping couldn't help raising his eyebrows and looking at the quiet Shi Xianggu and asking in a low voice.
"General Wu has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Shi Xianggu nodded slightly and motioned Wu Ping to speak out.
"General Shi just said that the Qing court was overthrown. Is it that Lord Liang has the ambition to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?" Wu Ping asked after clearing his throat. The words slowly spit out from Shi Xiang's mouth really shocked them fiercely. That's why Wu Ping asked this question.
"Anti-Qing, that's right, this Chinese land does not belong to those Manchu people in the first place. Of course, we have to take it back. As for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, hehe... Why do you want to restore the Ming Dynasty?" Shi Xianggu thought of her husband's expression. Maybe if anyone said in front of him that anti-Qing was for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, she might educate people fiercely.
"This..." Seeing Shi Xianggu's expression, Wu Pingren couldn't help but exchange secretly with some doubts. Isn't it just to restore the light? This slogan has not been broken since the beginning of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. The fake and shoddy Prince Zhu San has made several times, and it seems that everyone has also formed a kind of habitual thinking. Anti-Qing, why can it be done in order to restore the Ming Dynasty?
Although they were persecuted by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, they had to raise the anti-flag. However, if it hadn't been for the lack of time, coupled with the instigation of the head of Liu of the White Lotus Sect, they might have really pulled out a person surnamed Zhu as a descendant of the former Ming Dynasty, as their anti-Qing ambition and goal.
