Five days later, the gunboats Yelang and Jinlang 2 sailed into the deep harbor in the north of Dongting Lake for a short rest. Ji Chunsheng, the top commander of the Ganxi Mining Garrison, and Yang Shanxin, the port base administrator, lined up to greet them.

The gunboat Blood Wolf and the shallow-water ironclad were ordered to rush to the port to gather on the second day, along with the escort members such as Butcher and Fellai.

After everyone arrived, Chen Tianhua immediately held a military meeting at the port to analyze and discuss the current situation in southern and western Jiangxi, as well as the next countermeasures.

After the meeting, he let the public know: Chen Tianhua’s purpose here is to rectify Fengzhong Mining’s authority in Dongting Lake, which is sacred and inviolable!

Since he had previously signed an agreement with Yunze Gang Zhang Beiji, Yunze Navy still violated it openly and publicly challenged it.

Therefore, Chen Tianhua planned to take the opportunity of returning to Dongting Lake to personally bring the ship to investigate!

Chen Tianhua's fleet set off in a mighty manner, and its destination was, of course, Junshan Island in Dongting Lake, that is, Xiangshan Mountain.

Junshan Island is where the chief commander of the Yunze Gang is located, as well as where his chief naval officer is located.

Along the way, they also provided support to many Fengzhong Mining escort ships, causing the water bandits to flee, which greatly enhanced the reputation of Fengzhong Mining and encouraged the morale of the escort team and cargo ship crews.

Chen Tianhua personally led the fleet there to capture the Yunze Gang Navy Admiral and Negative Admiral. Not long ago, they led the navy armed forces to intercept the freighters Meihua and Orchid of Fengzhong Mining.

Witnesses, testimonies, and physical evidence are all present.

Of course, the Yunze Gang doesn't need to make friends with anyone, and that means starting a war.

Not long ago, Chen Tianhua led the Wild Wolf to cripple the powerful Sailong King mixed fleet at the foot of Kanglang Mountain in Poyang Lake. The news had already reached Dongting Lake, which was frightening.

Now, this young master who has been famous in the world for a long time is actually invincible on Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, and his reputation is huge.

It is said that this eldest young master has a very domineering temperament. He will never be vague about what he decides to do and will never give up until he achieves his goal.

Ji Chunsheng originally wanted to dissuade Chen Tianhua from going there in person and just listen to the customers at the port base, because in the cold winter, it was bitingly cold on the lake.

But fortunately, this time we had elite troops and strong generals, accompanied by large gunboats and personal guards.

They, the senior officers, called Fei Ge, the captain of the guard, and told him not to let the major general leave the command cabin casually.

Chen Tianhua still returned to the Blood Wolf, because this ship was equivalent to his flagship.

Junshan Island is located on the lake about ten kilometers away from Yueyang Fucheng in Hunan Province. It is the most special large island among the many islands in Dongting Lake.

This water area is a deep water area, the lake is open, and there is a deep water port suitable for large ships to dock.

In addition, it is close to Yueyang Fucheng, making logistics procurement, financial transactions, etc. more convenient.

Because of its strategic location, it has become the seat of the largest gang, the Yunze Gang, and the trade transit point of Dongting Lake. The island's commerce and economy are more developed than other islands.

However, due to historical reasons and geographical factors, wars often occurred on this island before the Yunze Gang took over as the chief helm.

After becoming the headquarters of the Yunze Gang, there were no wars for ten or twenty years, and few enemy warships entered the Lingang Lake and attacked the city.

But this time is very different. In addition to the four major ships, the Blood Wolf, the Wild Wolf, the Golden Wolf 2, and the armored gunboat, there are also more than a dozen armed ships, including troop transport landing ships, logistics support ships, etc.

In addition, dozens of speedboats were confiscated, and this time twenty were brought with them.

The flags were fluttering and the crows were everywhere.

There were more than 400 people on the ship, including sailors and marines, and they drove over in a mighty manner.

The comprehensive combat power of this powerful mixed fleet makes the Dongting Lake water bandits frightened, and they can basically operate unimpeded on Dongting Lake.

Starting from the northern port, it took nearly twenty hours of driving at full speed to reach the waters of Junshan Island.

"Did you hear that a fleet from Fengzhong Mining came over and said it wanted to occupy Junshan Island..."

"That large gunboat has so much firepower that if the main gun hits the ship, it will sink it."

"I heard that our boss signed an agreement with Fengzhong back then, and now they are asking for help!"

"..."

Everyone on the island knew the news that the Fengzhong mixed fleet was coming to Junshan Island to investigate the charges two days ago. Now everyone is talking about it and the island is in a panic.

Everyone is wondering whether the eldest boss Zhang Beiji will hand over the third and fifth bosses, which will bring disgrace to the Yunze Gang and his reputation.

If we insist on not handing over, we will inevitably have a water battle with the Fengzhong fleet, and the island will be violently bombarded.

The Yunze Navy originally had five gunboats of about 2,000 tons and seven to eight thousand tons.

There are more than 20 armed fishing boats of about 100 tons and more than 100 speedboats.

However, after two water battles with the Blood Wolf, three large gunboats were sunk on the spot and one ship was severely damaged. Currently, only one can go into battle.

The armed fishing boats and speedboats were almost severely damaged, with more than half of them lost.

The Yunze Gang has more than 20 sub-rudders. Zhang Beiji sent out a hero post two days ago, asking the leaders of each sub-rudder to lead warships to Junshan Island to escort them!

But what do you think of the helmsmen? The largest of their warships is a modified fishing boat of 600 to 700 tons, and most of them are armed fishing boats of 200 to 300 tons.

The small tonnage is secondary, but the main reason is the serious lack of firepower on board. The larger armed fishing boats are equipped with two old Furlong cannons, while the smaller ones are equipped with 30mm small-caliber cannons.

Short range, low accuracy, and slow gun speed.

The enemy's 105mm main naval gun in front of you can sink your armed fishing boat of hundreds of tons with one or two shots.

Now that we are convoying to Monarch Island, we will undoubtedly serve as cannon fodder and shield. We will go up there to put a gap in the enemy's teeth.

These sub-rudder leaders are neither stupid nor stupid, and we will not let people die for no reason. Originally, this sub-rudder system is an alliance, and the right way is to fly separately when disaster strikes.

At four-thirty in the afternoon, in winter, the nights are long and the days are short. The wind is freezing on the lake, and it is dark and terrifying.

Bird Nei is now in chaos. The fort that has not been used for many years was urgently activated two days ago. However, the shore defense artillery has not been maintained for many years and is already rusty. No one dares to use it for fear of exploding its barrel.

In desperation, the arsenal was opened, and the old artillery in stock was taken out, pulled by oxcarts, and carried on the shoulders to the fort. They had just been installed, and they had not yet tried the cannon.

When Chen Tianhua's mixed fleet appeared on the Junshan Island lake, all the island residents saw it.

Wow, I have never seen such large naval guns and tonnage of water bandits, and now I feel a trace of danger.

Many water bandits hardly dare to go out at this time, and are hiding carefully, fearing that they will come to trouble them.

Zhang Beiji, the boss of the Yunze Gang, sat in front of the Juxiantang Tiger Case with some worry, looking straight at his men.

While smoking his pipe, he flipped through the contents of the Feng Zhong report in his hand and read it back and forth.
Chapter completed!
