Chapter 429: Anti-Qing, what else can you do if you don’t want to restore your sight?
Chapter 429: If you fight against the Qing Dynasty, why can you not restore the Ming Dynasty?
Ten days later, the huge fleet finally left Bohai Bay, crossed the Jiaodong Peninsula, headed southeast, and arrived at a large island. Wu Ping and others, who had never taken a boat, vomited almost every day for the first two or three days. However, after gradually adapting to it, and escaping from the sky, looking at the endless blue waves, the fish leaped across the sea, were very happy.
Every day, they would take small boats to stroll on other boats, because long-term sailing at sea will make people feel emotional, and they naturally have to take on the responsibility of appeaseing their elders and relatives.
What shocked them was that everything they saw, not to mention the huge fleet that could load 60,000 or 70,000 people, just those majestic and tall warships, and the densely packed ships like honeycombs, were enough to demonstrate their ultimate strength.
After communicating with Li Zhengdao, who had been with him, in the past ten days, Wu Ping learned a lot of things and knew that this time the one who came to help them escape from the hands of the officers and soldiers was only one of the fleets under Liang Pengfei. There were three fleets of this size, and the number of warships was still increasing rapidly.
The Marines, the First Fleet that annihilated nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers and blocked the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, were just one of the elite troops under Liang Pengfei's command. Yes, it was just one of them.
In addition, the merchant ships and fishing boats that came to pick them up were drawn from Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong. In other words, more than 60% of the sea ships in the entire Qing Dynasty were here. Some of these ships belonged to Zhu Bin, a great merchant who almost dominated the maritime trade exchanges in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other provinces, and more were Pan, Wu, Ye, and Lu, the strongest merchants from Guangdong's Thirteen Tours, as well as Hailianxing from the Laoliang family in Guangdong, and some were even drawn from Nanyang.
Just thinking about it, Liang Pengfei mobilized so many resources for his fellow villagers and relatives, spent so much effort, and even sent troops to fight in the Qing Dynasty. Wu Ping felt that it was difficult to repay his kindness, and he couldn't help but be shocked that Liang Pengfei's strength was so huge.
Not only him, but also the generals and soldiers, all thought so. When Li Zhengdao brought Liang Pengfei's deeds one by one, Wu Ping and others went from being shocked and shocked to being ultimately numb. Yes, it was as if they were listening to someone telling a myth. Such a magical rise was indeed hard to believe. However, just by being able to mobilize so many resources, just by being an outrageous fleet, and by the navy team that could defeat cavalry with infantry, it was enough to prove that Li Zhengdao's words were definitely not deceiving himself.
Stepping onto the pier, looking at the silver beach, the green waves, and the lush green plants on the beach made Wu Ping and others feel novel. "This place has a marine climate, very pleasant, and the coldest seasons will not freeze, nor will it snow. Therefore, many people from Shandong who have traveled east to live and farm here before." Li Zhengdao smiled and pointed at the distance, with a full face of pride. On the pier, many people with Shandong accents are helping the men, women, young and old of the rebels leave the pier and go to the residential area that had been prepared.
"In addition, this island does not belong to the Kingdom of Korea. It was originally an independent country and was called the Tara Kingdom. Later, the Prince of Danlu came to Korea. Goryeo abolished the Tara Kingdom and established Tara County. Later, it was seized by the Yuan Dynasty. After that, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and this place returned to Korea. Half a year ago, General Fan Wencai, the Beiyang Fleet of our Chinese Navy, led the Beiyang Fleet to obtain the power of rule of this island from North Korea." Li Zhengdao raised his eyebrows proudly. The Fan Wencai, who had been patrolling the waters of Komu and the Kingdom of Korea, really lived up to the trust of Master Liang. Not only did he control Hokkaido, but he also took back this island that was most suitable for grazing, which allowed Liang Pengfei to finally have a base for training a large number of cavalry.
"This place is really good, it's a Feng Shui treasure land." Wu Peng looked envious. His words aroused the recognition of the rebel generals around him.
"Of course, in addition to being suitable for people to live, this place also has a vast grassland. It used to be a horse-herding place in Korea, but now it is a venue specially used by us to cultivate good horses and train cavalry, and it is open thousands of miles away. However, now it is in its infancy. In addition to the more than 2,000 Arab horses and some Western thoroughbreds purchased from those Westerners, there is only a cavalry training camp with less than 300 people just formed." Li Zhengdao turned his head and smiled at Wu Ping and others: "If General Wu is interested, after all the matters are arranged, you can go with me to take a look."
"Look, I must see. I haven't ridden an Arab horse before. Is it better than a Mongolian horse?" The burly and strong man standing among the rebel generals couldn't help but shout loudly. His name was Wang Huzi, and he was originally a famous horse thief in the Mongolian area of Zhili, and most of the rebel cavalry came from his subordinates.
"I don't know much about this. After all, I'm just a staff member of the intelligence system. However, those horse breeds are indeed very tall and majestic. I once saw a British horse purchased from India on the island. What is the name... the Clydale horse. Its horseback is even taller than mine. If you get on a horse, you can only use a horse stone or a stool." Li Zhengdao's words raised everyone's interest and agreed to go and see if the horse was as exaggerated as Li Zhengdao said the next day.
After browsing the Fengjing here and resting for three days, Shi Xianggu met the generals of the Rebel Army again. "You are living like this here. A few days ago, because you are too busy with official duties and have many miscellaneous tasks to deal with, so I came to see you today. Please don't blame me, generals."
"I dare not take it. We remember the kindness of General Shi and Lord Liang. Today we come to see General Shi. First of all, we are grateful to General Shi for his righteous help. If Wugui's subordinates help, we are afraid that we have fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers." Wu Ping said solemnly after giving a gift to Chief Shi Xiang Gu.
"We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and fellow Chinese compatriots. It is our duty to help you escape from the hands of the Qing court. You have been resting here for several days. I must have a clear understanding of your current situation. I don't know what you have in the future. However, I can provide you with four paths. Of course, the choice is in your hands." Shi Xianggu said seriously after a faint smile.
The room immediately became quiet, and Wu Ping and others also listened intently, because this would be related to their future destiny. In fact, during these three days, they were not only wandering here, but also comforting people's hearts, but more importantly, they were also discussing their own destiny.
What is the purpose of Lord Liang doing this? It is the biggest problem that bothers them. Most of the rebel army is poor and ordinary people. Even if it was rich before, such as the Wu family, there was a lot of wealth in the local area. However, after the rebellion, all the most valuable fields and houses were abandoned. How could there be any wealth that can make people move? So, they guessed something that they couldn't guess even if they were unable to guess. And when they asked Li Zhengdao, the answer that the 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 their compatriots in China. It is our responsibility and obligation to save you. But the problem is that it falls into the ears of Wu Ping and others. I always feel something is wrong. Yes, when will there be a free lunch in the world?
But when the words from Shi Xianggu were expressed, Wu Ping and others knew that the answer was likely to be revealed here.
"I believe you should know that now you are wanted by Qingting and cannot go back for the time being. Now, there are a few choices in front of you. If you want, you can stay here and wait for the Qingting to be overthrown before returning home. In addition, you can also go north to Kyushu Island or Hokkaido, which originally belonged to Koki and now belonged to my husband; of course, you can also go south to Southeast Asia and live in the south..."
"General Shi, can Wu ask a question?" Wu Ping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at the quiet Shi Xiangu and asked in a deep voice.
"General Wu has something to say, but it's okay." Shi Xianggu nodded slightly and signaled Wu Ping to speak bluntly.
"What General Shi said just now, is it because Lord Liang had the ambition to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?" Wu Ping asked after clearing Qing's throat, which was a little sad. The words slowly spit out of Shi Xiang Gu's mouth really shocked them. Therefore, Wu Ping asked this question.
"Anti-Qing, yes, this land of China does not belong to those Manchus, of course we have to take it back. As for Reming, hahaha... why should Reming?" Shi Xianggu thought of her husband's expression. Maybe someone would say in front of him that anti-Qing was to restore the Ming Dynasty, and maybe he would educate the people hard.
"This..." Seeing Shi Xianggu's expression, Wu Ping and others couldn't help but exchanged secretly with some confusion. Isn't the anti-Qing Dynasty just for restoring the Ming Dynasty? This slogan has never been stopped since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. The fake and shoddy prince Zhu San had several times. Moreover, it seems that everyone has formed an inertial thinking. If you don't fight against the Qing Dynasty, why can you do it?
