Chapter 299 Attack. Northern Route 1

Yan Siqi changed his sitting posture to a straight sitting state and said to Yin Feng seriously: "Is this what the people from the Military Supervision Department said? I want to appeal. Leader Luo Huoli is not really trying to surrender, but secretly colluded with the government army... That's why I executed all the leaders of Luo Huoli when I left Qiongzhou,"

Yin Feng nodded and said, "Because you did not have an order, you executed the leader of the indigenous tribe of the alliance. The Military Supervision Department originally wanted to punish you with military law, but I suppressed it. I think in today's war period, some things have to be very useful. The means to solve it, but you kill people without evidence, and slaughter the entire Luohuoli Old Village, making the Limin tribe that is allied with us feel anxious..." Yin Feng looked at Yan Siqi and said sincerely: "Zhenquan, you After following me for ten years, I always think that your talent lies in opening up new worlds, so you can stand alone in Nanyang. The only thing you lack is cooperation with your peers and benevolence and righteousness.... Don't explain it for now, listen to me: Now we are with you. The court started war, and I was confident that I would defeat the officials and soldiers of the court. Of course, it was impossible to eat the entire Ming Dynasty in one go, but we would usher in a great opportunity for development; labor, goods, and merchants would all flock to us, and we needed more at that time. Overseas colonies, fighting against more enemies around the world, then it is time for you to use your strengths. Before that, you have to accumulate your experience, learn to cooperate better with others, and seize the right ones. The time is to implement benevolent government, and force cannot solve all problems. Therefore, I let you participate in this attack on Jiangnan. You must cooperate well with friendly forces, appease the localities, and form a family of all generations... In short, you must not only do it It's just a war, and I guess you won't have much to fight by then,"

Yan Siqi stood up, blushed and saluted: "Don't worry, ship owner, just watch me make meritorious."

Yin Feng stood up and stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Do it well, I believe you, you are the second echelon of the Southern Line troops. After Li Xing, Ye Hua and others open up the Yangtze River Estuary Channel, you can land in Jiangnan. , your 5th Brigade is a newly formed unit, and you have one and a half months to train them,"

Yan Siqi smiled and said, "No problem, I have seen the newly formed field troops adapted from the Zhuang Ding team today. I will definitely be able to...

According to the military service system of the Chinese Army, many of the Zhuangding teams were actually reserve forces composed of veterans from military farms.

Yin Feng patted his shoulder, looked at him maliciously, and said with a smile: "Wrong, you're wrong, our army has expanded too quickly, most of the Zhuang Ding team has been converted into active field troops, Liancheng District Security The team also dispatched personnel to set up some garrison troops. In your Fifth Brigade, the soldiers are basically newly recruited farmers and inland immigrants who have participated in Zhuang Ding's training for less than a year. Half of the officers are military academy graduates and no veterans,"

Yan Siqi was frustrated when she heard this, and pulled Yin Feng forward with a bitter face and said, "Ship owner, aren't you kidding me? How can I take such a soldier? No, you have to at least give me a battalion composed of veterans."

Yin Feng laughed and sat back in his seat and said, "I heard that you trained a group of groups in Java, Zhuang Ding, the gangster soldiers of the Fifth Regiment, and Jie Ao's unharmed sailors into elite troops of the Nanyang Regiment. , Very good. Zhao Xuanming sent a report after receiving Nanyang Defense, saying that the reorganized troops were very combat-effective... You can train these miscellaneous mud-legged soldiers into qualified Chinese soldiers within one and a half months of this method. Bar,"

Yan Siqi grabbed his scalp and sat in front of Yin Feng with a wry smile: "Boss, you want to make me busy to death. OK, I will accept the task, but..." He leaned close to Yin Feng with a shy face and said with a giggle : "You can assign some of my Fifth Regiment veterans to me,"

Yin Feng smiled and threw a document to Yan Siqi: "Look, this is the list: 150 former Nanyang Regiment non-commissioned officers, the officers are already waiting in the camp to report to you, why don't you go quickly,"

Yan Siqi was overjoyed, jumped up, stood attentively and turned around and left. Yin Feng was still shouting behind him: "Don't forget to go home to see your wife after you finish."

...

In order to catch up with the wind, the troops gathered in Ryukyu actually left Taiwan before Yin Feng held a shareholders' meeting. Before the release of the "Seven Hate Proclamation", Chen Zhongji had already arrived at Ryukyu Island on the Sea Soul Clippers' Clippers Boat Bagang.

With Chen Zhongji landing with the advance troops of the First Division, the Second Shang Dynasty of the Zhongshan Kingdom of Ryukyu was officially destroyed.

The Shang family, the King of Zhongshan, who had been a puppet for six years, was taken down in one fell swoop. Among all the Ryukyu nobles, except for those with Chinese ancestry, the rest were loaded on a sea boat and transported to Sulawesi Island in the winter north wind. In the Makassar colony newly opened by the Chinese company, a plantation of more than 10,000 acres was allocated to them. If they could not support themselves, they could only survive in the tropical jungle.

The military academy student army was assigned to the North Line Army. The commander of the student army was Wang Shuowang, who was the son of the pirate Wang Yun who followed Yin Feng to guard Beishankou and died with the Spanish with the powder barrel. The troops of the First Infantry Division continued one after another. He came to Ryukyu on various transport ships. After selecting the garrison troops composed of hundreds of Ryukyu Chinese residents, they formed a Ryukyu sentry team of 100 Ryukyu Chinese, and were incorporated into the direct relatives of Chen Zhongji, the general manager of the North Line.

By May, 11,000 soldiers from the First Division of the Infantry Division had gathered on the Ryukyu Island. The First Division had one field artillery battalion (about 50 light field artillery), and one battalion engineer - with many specialized The miners recruited from mines and coal mines are good at digging holes. A field hospital with more than 100 people has also set out with the army for the first time.

Not long after, a professional artillery regiment was transported to Ryukyu Naha with more than 20 large lucky ships. The artillery regiment commander was Li Kuiqi's fellow disciples. Lin Feiyang, who studied at the Artillery Branch of the Military Academy, was considered the head of the company's safety department by seniority. Yin Feng’s most trusted nephew, Lin Xiao, is actually three years younger than Lin Xiao.

Lin Feiyang got off the boat and came to Chen Zhongji: "Mr. Chen, when will we attack? My 200 cannons are on the boat. It takes too much time to move them on and off. But I always stay on the boat, if there is a hurricane or something. The consequences are unimaginable,"

Chen Zhongji walked around the Wang Family Garden in Shuli, the former Ryukyu royal city, worried. Hearing Lin Feiyang's words, he looked up and said, "The infantry has been assembled, and the first fleet of the navy has all gathered in Naha; the problem now is, Colonel Zhao Tie, the commander of the First Infantry Division, has not yet taken his seat,"

Infantry commander Zhao Tie is of Chen Zhongji's uncle in terms of qualifications. However, this time, Chen Zhongji was the general manager of the North Line. Many old officers of the First Division are familiar with the two, so they don't say much. In private, Chen Zhongji is not very convinced. Most recently young military academy graduates admire Chen Zhongji, who once guarded Naba's store and resisted dozens of times the strength of Japanese pirates, so they obeyed Chen Zhongji's orders. However, Chen Zhongji saw his infantry brothers. They are all well-trained soldiers and are not allowed to be supervised by the superiors, so they have no questions about the assembly of the First Division of the Infantry Army. In fact, he is not confident in himself.

In fact, Zhao Tie is not really putting on airs, but the Sea Urchin Clippers he took with his personal guard encountered a hurricane. This was the consequence of the fierce battle between the southeast monsoon and the northeast wind. The Sea Urchin fought desperately against the hurricane, but as a result, three masts After breaking two, the captain had to drop the sail, put away the anchor, and still drifted along the water. Zhao Tie and others had no choice but to let the will of heaven.

When the storm and clouds dissipated, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Zhao Tie quickly ordered the acupuncturer to use a compass and sextant to use the astronomical phenomena to survey the geographical location. The acupuncturer moved the sextant from Europe for a long time, and then compared it with the ancestral sea map for half a day. It was reported: "Col. Zhao, we probably went to the southeast coast of Shandong Provincial Administration,"

Zhao Tie hit the boat gang in a circle: "It's really a waste of time. The army on the northern front is about to attack, but I'm here in Shandong. Mazu, you're really good at joking," he thought that he might not be able to catch up with the war, and suddenly started a fire. He cursed endlessly, and the captain was so scared that the acupuncturer quickly slipped away.

Zhao Tie's guard leader smiled bitterly and persuaded him: "Col. Mr. Zhao, General Manager Chen will definitely wait for you. The brothers of the First Division are still waiting for you to command,"

Zhao Tie waved his hand angrily: "What do you know? I hope Ji Zai will not wait for me and send troops on time. He is the general manager of the army and has the right to temporarily assign an infantry commander."

"But, the first division is yours..."

"Barring," Zhao Tie interrupted the head of his personal guard and said: "The Chinese Army is the army of the ship owner Yin, the army of the Chinese Company, not mine, do you understand?"...

On the first day of the sixth month of the 45th year of Wanli, Chen Zhongji ordered the military supervisor Cao Tai to temporarily serve as the commander of the First Division and the commander of the North Line marching infantry. On the second day of the lunar month, the Chinese army attacked the Ming Dynasty and the North Line Army officially launched aboard and officially sent troops to the north. The troops that boarded the ship together, in addition to the First Infantry Division, also had the Second Artillery Regiment. Almost all the troops of the Chinese cavalry regiment were more than 1,000 people, and there was also a Taiwan high mountain tribe auxiliary force, a battalion and a The Ryukyu Chinese sentry was incorporated into the Northern Line troops.

Fan Tao led the main force of the First Fleet; the three giant ships of Flying Dragon, Flying Leopard, Flying Tiger, thirty-six three-masted gunboats, 200 fast ships, gunboats, and hundreds of large transport ships, and the total navy force was also There are about 25,000 people.

The three-deck giant ship Flying Fish, which has 120 cannons, stayed at Naha to guard against possible harassment by Japanese pirates.

The army occupied hundreds of square miles on the Yellow Sea, which was the largest fleet that appeared on the Yellow Sea since Kublai Khan's expedition to Japan.
