Chapter 1078 Entering Zhifu Island

In fact, Zheng Laoqi was not without doubts. He had never seen such well-dressed guards in the army before. Moreover, many of these gray soldiers had their hair cut extremely short, with streaks of hair on their heads.

There are no buns, which makes it completely difficult to understand what the route is. It’s just that these people are well-trained soldiers at first glance, and there are so many ships with the same standard and large tonnage. If we exclude the possibility of fleeing to the Northeast

The two obvious possibilities are the rebels fighting back and the Japanese pirate gang coming across the sea. The mysterious Jin Yiwei seems to be a more reasonable explanation.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zheng Laoqi knew that it was impossible for the team he led to compete with the opponent. At first, there were only ten or twenty people surrounding him, but when he checked the opponent's identity card,

By the time he arrived, there were already fifty or sixty people around him. Being pointed at so many muskets, Zheng Laoqi was already very resilient without trembling in fright.

"Are you the defenders of the Yantai Mountain pier?" Seeing that the other party had surrendered, Gao Qiaonan began to implement the next plan.

Zheng Laoqi responded quickly: "Yes, yes, the villain is in charge of this pier."

Gao Qiaonan nodded and said: "I want to take a look at this pier. You can lead the way and tell me about the situation here!"

When Zheng Laoqi saw Gao Qiaonan's grandeur, he immediately doubted his presence. While leading the way, he told Gao Qiao Nan the general situation of the outpost in Yantai Mountain and Qishan Qianhu Station. Gao Qiao Nan heard that

There were not many people stationed in Yantai Mountain at all, and I felt even more relieved now.

After arriving at the pier, Gao Qiaonan asked Zheng Laoqi to gather all his men. In order to prevent any mistakes, he also asked Zheng Laoqi to bring out the roster and call the names one by one. How could Zheng Laoqi want to get Gao Qiaonan's name?

I thought that this was indeed what a Shangguan inspection should look like, so I honestly checked the number of people by name.

Gao Qiaonan was afraid of causing trouble, so he asked specifically: "When will the defenders of the pier be rotated?"

Zheng Laoqi responded respectfully: "Sir, according to the rules, the change of guard is every half a month, so it should be seven days before the change of guard."

Takahashi Minami continued to ask: "How to ensure supplies?"

Zheng Laoqi said: "We usually replenish it once a month from the city of Qishan in the south. The rice and flour in the piers and abutments are enough for a month. We also cultivated several acres of vegetable land in the south, raised some chickens and ducks, and added

When the tide goes out, go to the beach to pick up some seafood. There is no need to replenish food and grass in the near future. But if you want to stay here temporarily..." Zheng Laoqi looked at the team in Gaoqiao South and did not continue. In the pier

The food reserves are based on the garrison population, but if the other team were to stay, they would probably eat up all the food in five or six days.

Takahashi Nandao: "Don't worry about this. I'm just asking and won't use the materials in your pier."

Zheng Laoqi responded quickly: "I don't dare, a villain."

After Gao Qiaonan implemented all kinds of information, he saw that his men who had entered the pier for inspection had also come out to give the signal, so he calmly snapped his fingers and said: "Get it!"

Before Zheng Laoqi figured out who Gao Qiaonan was going to capture, he felt a punch in the crook of his leg. He immediately fell to his knees, and then someone pushed him from behind and twisted his arms behind his back.

Then his wrists were locked with cold shackles, and almost at the same time, shackles were also locked on his ankles.

Zheng Laoqi looked to the side in horror, and saw that all his men were thrown to the ground by the group of Jinyi guards, and their hands and feet were shackled. The other party did not even let anyone go.

"Master Liao, why is this?" Zheng Laoqi simply couldn't figure out why Jin Yiwei suddenly turned against him, so he could only ask the other party.

"Don't be afraid. This is not to punish you. It's just that we have a secret mission here. We can't let the news leak out. I have to wrong you for a few days. After the matter is settled, I will return your freedom and provide you with a silver subsidy."

!" Takahashi Nan raised his voice and announced loudly.

Zheng Laoqi had been in the army for many years, but this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing. His mind was in confusion at the moment. He didn't know whether he should obey the other party's arrangements and be captured, or whether he should find a way to resist or escape from here.

Just when he was hesitating, he heard "Liao Xun" continue to say: "If anyone resists, I can only regard it as disobeying military orders and going against the imperial court. To protect the overall situation, I will deal with him in accordance with military law!"

The words "dispose in accordance with military law" are still very useful. At that moment, everyone was completely quiet. There were still a few people who were struggling, but they all calmed down after hearing these words.

Seeing that the situation was basically under control, Takahashi Nan ordered the Ming soldiers to be escorted back to the barracks next to the pier and kept under guard. The hands and feet of these people were chained with stainless steel shackles, and everything they had on them was searched, leaving only

There is no need to worry about them escaping if they take off their clothes. And Yantai Mountain is still several miles away from Qishansuo City in the south, so even if these people scream, it will be useless. In fact, their luck is already quite good, if they let

Takahashi Nan directly brought people to the door, so there may not be any Jin Yiwei who perform special status. Most of the special forces follow standard procedures and kill people on sight. At most, they can leave one or two alive for interrogation and confession.

.

Gao Qiaonan went to the top floor of the pier and looked at the sea of ​​Zhifu Bay from the crenel with a telescope. Across the bay to the north is Zhifu Island, which lies across the sea. It is about ten miles away from Yantai Mountain.

"This place is indeed a good location!" After confirming the view here, Takahashi Nan also admired the arrangement of his superiors. As long as the Ming army post of Yantai Mountain was pulled up, the Qishan Qianhu Station was just around the corner.

It became blind and completely lost the monitoring of Zhifu Bay. In this way, when the Haihan fleet enters Zhifu Bay, the external threats it may encounter have been reduced to a minimum, and what Haihan wants to strive for is a relative

Stable login environment.

"Gao Qiaonan has secured the Ming army outpost in Zhifu Bay." Wang Tom received the telegram from the vanguard on the flagship, and immediately shared the good news with Qian Tiandun and others.

"He has always done this kind of work very quickly." Qian Tiandun was very calm about the news. This was probably because he had full confidence in his ability to train this capable man.

About four hours after the vanguard arrived at Zhifu Bay, the main force of the huge Haihan fleet finally sailed into this sea area. If Zheng Laoqi saw this scene, he would probably not believe the so-called Jinyiwei in Gaoqiao South even to death.

identity, because looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is definitely no warship that can reach the same tonnage as the "Dignity Class", and even a ship half the size cannot be built. This huge fleet that suddenly appeared in Zhifu Bay,

No matter what, it is impossible to fake the name of Ming Dynasty Navy again.

The preset landing point of the main fleet is further north than that of the vanguard, basically close to the south coast of Zhifu Island. The vanguard that arrived here early has completed the survey of several major landing points and marked them on the shore.

, when the fleet began to sail into this sea area, the personnel on the shore used flags of different colors to guide ships of different tonnage classes to berth in the planned area.

Regarding how to dock a large fleet in the unfamiliar environment of Zhifu Island in a short period of time, and quickly implement the landing and transfer of personnel and cargo, this is indeed a project that tests comprehensive coordination and command capabilities. To this end, the Shipping Department also

Landing simulations were carried out in advance using a sand table model, and corresponding plans were made for various possible situations. Although the sand table was made based on the satellite data map in Haihan's hands, it would be slightly different from the actual terrain of Zhifu Island.

But it was still within the error tolerance range. Moreover, the Executive Committee specially transferred Sun Changmi to the northward fleet. One of the purposes was to let him coordinate and command the fleet to land in an orderly manner.

However, the original plan actually had a slight deviation. The original time to arrive at Zhifu Island was in the early morning, but the actual trip arrived about half a day earlier. When several travelers were transferred ashore from the flagship through small boats, the time

It was already evening. No matter how complete the Marine Transportation Department's landing plan was, it could not change the speed of the sun setting in the west, so no matter what, it was impossible to complete the landing of all personnel and materials before dark.

"It seems that we can only survive the night first." Sun Changmi looked at the sky and expressed his attitude to Wang Tom helplessly: "Before the sun sets, let all the ships anchor in Zhifu Bay and wait.

We will continue to adjust the berth tomorrow morning."

Wang Tom has nothing to argue with. He is also a professional who is familiar with maritime affairs. He naturally knows that in such a wild environment without a dock, he cannot risk landing at night. Once a ship collides, it is easy to lose sight of the ship.

The restriction caused chaos. Now that the vanguard troops have eliminated the Ming army outposts on the coast of Zhifu Bay, there is no need to rush to complete the landing at this time. Naturally, they have to adjust their strategies to put safety first.

So several people separately issued instructions to let smaller-tonnage ships dock first, while large-tonnage ships anchored outside. Although the people on board could not go ashore to rest, fortunately, the wind and waves in Zhifu Bay were smaller, compared with those in Zhifu Bay.

It was definitely much more relaxed during the sea journey.

Before the sun went down, the engineers had leveled an open space two hundred meters away from the coastline and completed the construction of two prefabricated houses. These wooden prefabricated houses are all prefabricated, and after being transported to the site, they are as if they were built.

Just like building blocks, you just need to piece together the four walls, the roof, and the floor one by one, then install the doors, windows, and put in the furniture. It can be completed in less than two hours. And these two prefabricated houses will also serve as Sun Chang's house.

Mi, Qian Tiandun, Hao Wanqing, and Chen Yixin are staying tonight.

As for Wang Tom, the old sea dog, he felt more comfortable staying on the ship. After explaining the matter, he returned to the ship. Of course, the captain's cabin on the flagship was far more comfortable than this temporary prefabricated house.

One of the reasons why he chose to abandon land and ship.

As for other ordinary soldiers who have landed ashore, they can only rely on setting up tents to survive the hard days in the early days of landing. Although there are good things like prefabricated houses, the number shipped to Shandong is not very large.

The military does not expect to use prefabricated houses to solve the local barracks construction problem. After all the materials and personnel have been landed, the command headquarters will organize manpower to cut down trees on Zhifu Island, build brick kilns, and use local materials to build semi-permanent long-term residences.

Gao Qiaonan did not return to Zhifu Island to rendezvous with the large army that night. He led a company and stationed himself in the Ming army camp in Yantai Mountain. Because he found that this place could not only monitor Zhifu Bay in the north, but also change direction.

, can also monitor the movements of Qishansuo City in the south. If Qishansuo City has any temporary arrangements to send people to Yantai Mountain, then he can be prepared in advance.

For the first batch of prisoners captured in Shandong, Gao Qiaonan did not torture him. He also cooked more dinners and had people feed them to the prisoners one by one with bowls. However, he was not without scheming, and arranged for them to be fed to the prisoners.

The food fed to the captives was only one tael per person, and they were not given a chance to eat enough. In this way, the physical condition and physical strength of the prisoners would be affected, and the possibility of resisting and causing trouble would also be reduced.

When a soldier of the Ming Army saw that these "Jin Yiwei" were depriving themselves of food, he couldn't help but cursed in a Shandong accent: "Your grandma has a leg! Even if you lock me, I won't even be allowed to eat this meal."

You are so full, do you plan to starve me to death here?"

Takahashi Minami's men would not ask him for instructions on how to deal with such a trivial matter. Since this order was given by the battalion commander, the soldiers who received the task only had to follow it. This prisoner of war was so reckless that he certainly needed to be punished.

.The soldier, who had just finished his addiction, was dragged to the yard, whipped ten times, and screamed repeatedly. Zheng Laoqi and others were also forced to watch the whole process.

"Since he thinks it's too little, don't eat it today. Is there anyone else among you who thinks it's too little?" After whipping out this unfortunate guy, the soldier who was responsible for feeding the prisoners of war supper asked fiercely while glaring at the group of prisoners.

If you think it's too little, you won't be able to eat and you'll be whipped. Who would be stupid enough to follow in this footsteps? Right now, they're shaking their heads like a rattle. No one would be stupid enough to push forward. There's no point in eating.

His immediate loss.

After this unexpected incident, the prisoners' emotions became much calmer, because judging from the other party's attitude and way of dealing with their colleagues, at least there was no intention to kill people. Moreover, Takahashi Minami had previously told them,

They will only wrong them for a few days and then set them free. It seems that they are not so resistant to this kind of imprisonment arrangement. Of course, they really can't imagine at this time that they will be freed after a few days.

By that time, Zhifu Bay had already undergone great changes.

Nothing happened overnight, and starting from the early morning of the next day, the Haihan Fleet continued to transfer personnel and materials to the shore. If everything goes well, this link should be completed within two days.
Chapter completed!
