To achieve such a goal, proper "guidance" is needed. The Senate does not have a smooth-tongued water guest, so it cannot rely on its smooth tongue to control the actions of Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others. The only way is to use force to intervene
.
Block or accelerate the movement of the rebels at a certain node. Guide the rebels to operate in accordance with the requirements of the command. In addition to investing special operations forces, the main mission of the northbound detachment is also here.
Throughout the deployment of the operation, the headquarters made a decision to ensure that Sun Yuanhua would not "trap a traitor." As long as Sun Yuanhua was not captured by the rebels, not only would his crime be greatly reduced, but he would also be able to fight in the next stage of the counter-insurgency operation.
Being in a more proactive and favorable situation, the power to preside over the counter-rebellion will most likely fall into his hands. Coupled with Xu Guangqi in the court, they are working hard to manage the Fushe, plus the power of Eunuch Yang in the palace, echoing internally and externally,
By being active in activities, it is possible to "get away with it" or even "make meritorious service", thereby preserving Sun Yuanhua's position as governor of Denglai.
Keeping Sun Yuanhua as governor of Denglai will greatly facilitate the Senate's next activities in Shandong. In particular, the Dongsan Prefecture is geographically self-contained in Shandong and has a large number of coastal ports, which has the potential for armed separatism.
.According to normal history, it won’t be long before the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters Shandong for the second time, a place of corruption. The Ming Dynasty’s rule in Shandong will be severely hit. By then, based on Dongsanfu, it will be able to carry out large-scale
Penetrate the entire Shandong area.
To take a step back, even if Sun Yuanhua cannot retain his position as governor, Sun Yuanhua still has room for recovery. In this way, he can collude with Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi, a group of relatively new and pragmatic bureaucratic forces in the court, which will also have positive significance for the next step of political and economic penetration of the Ming Dynasty.
.And this kind of "good relationship" is stronger than simply using money to bribe someone to get a "relationship".
One of the main missions of the special forces is to ensure that Sun Yuanhua does not "trap a thief." When necessary, the special forces will be dispatched to rescue him.
To what extent Sun Yuanhua can be exploited and controlled, the headquarters cannot make an accurate estimate, but this person advocates Western learning and values practicality. He is a pragmatic official with a flexible attitude, and he also has the banner of the Jesuits. In a certain way,
Cooperation should be possible to a certain extent.
Through Huang Ande's relationship with Sun's retainer Sun Yuan and other past lords, Lu Wenyuan was able to roughly grasp Sun Yuanhua's general activities in the Denglai area - he set up spies in Dengzhou, and a group of messengers arrived in Dengzhou every day.
The confirmed information collected on the same day was sent.
Wang Qisuo was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and stood guard on the newly built fort near the trestle - Mr. Lu didn't call it a fort, but a "gun tower". It sounds quite vivid because it is a three-story brick and stone building.
The building was completed, and the garrisoned soldiers could live in it. There was a strange cannon on the top: it was square. It was densely packed with iron pipes, and it was mounted on a disk-shaped shelf.
He stood next to this delicate cannon - it was cleaned and oiled every day - and wrapped in a gun jacket, looking at the sea. The sea breeze was blowing, which was a bit unbearable. But Wang Qisuo did not dare to neglect: This is
The leader of the Xiangyong Team, Huang Ande, personally assigned him the task: "Always watch the sea and report immediately if there is a ship emitting black smoke or white smoke!" He repeatedly told Wang Qisuo several times.
Wang Qisuo was very puzzled. It was okay to say that the white smoke on the ship was because someone was cooking on the deck. But didn’t the black smoke mean that there was a fire?
Despite his confusion, he still carried out the task meticulously. Ever since he was rescued by Mr. Lu, he had somewhat understood the rules of these people's work: no talking too much, absolutely obeying orders from above, and doing things according to the rules.
"These thieves are really a bit naive." Wang Qisuo said secretly. Although he didn't know why he was asked to look at the sea, he still worked hard to search the cold and desolate sea.
There are not many boats visible on the sea or in the bay. There are only some small fishing boats operating on the nearby sea. Among them are several boats owned by fishermen and tenants on the island. These boats bring some fresh fish every day.
Fish and shrimp give the people of the Xiangyong team a toothpaste as a sacrifice.
In the bay, thanks to the work of the refugees, the number of trestles on Qimu Island has changed from one to three. The longest one is nearly half a mile long. No one knows the use of building so many and long trestles.
Among the fishing boats owned by Mr. Lu’s tenants, only cargo ships carrying coal, grain and timber docked.
Suddenly, several lines of black smoke rose from the sea in the distance - it was very eye-catching under the clear winter sky. He quickly took a few steps forward and almost leaned out of the battlements on top of the turret.
Yes, it was indeed black smoke! There were four of them. As time went by, the traces of black smoke became thicker and thicker, rising straight into the sky.
Wang Qisuo perked up and said, "Here we come!" He quickly struck the bell hanging next to the sentry post.
The main force of the Second Fleet: the flagship Zhenyang, Nongchao, Daishuang, and Fubo escorted eight h800 transport ships to transport the main force of the northbound detachment.
The main force of the Second Fleet is almost out in full force. This is because Longkou is very close to the Ming army in Penglai Water City. Large-scale maritime transportation will definitely attract the attention of the Ming army and must be adequately protected. Secondly, when escorting the main force to land,
After that, the Second Fleet will cruise to the waters of Jeju Island to carry out preventive strikes against the Ming Dynasty and North Korean navies operating locally, seize control of the sea, and clear the way for the next landing on Jeju Island.
Wang Qisuo's eyes widened as he looked at the fleet of ships approaching Qimu Island with waves rolling from far to near - so many big ships! He couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment. Kun Thief's fleet was really powerful.
Yes. It really lives up to its reputation!
Not long after the news of the fleet's arrival was reported, Wang Qisuo saw a group of people in blue clothes pouring out of the houses on the shore. They boarded several small boats moored on the shore and rowed quickly to the outskirts of the bay.
The navy pilots who had arrived earlier set off immediately and began to set up navigation buoys outside the bay.
There were so many ships in the Second Fleet that even three trestles could not meet the berthing needs. Therefore, all the small boats on the island were dispatched to transport people and cargo. The ships in the bay were busy and busy.
Wang Qisuo stared at this scene with his mouth agape. He saw soldiers that he had never seen pouring out of more than ten large ships in a steady stream. They were wearing the same dark gray long coat - the hem reached to the knees and was tied around the waist.
He wears a white belt and a furry and thick hat that can protect his cheeks. The forehead of the hat is dotted with a shining star emblem. He has a cross-shaped bag and a water bottle on his chest, and a short knife hanging on his waist. He wears tight leggings at his feet.
Boots. A large rucksack was carried on the back, and a thin blanket was tied to the top of the rucksack. Each person carried a long musket.
"These are the soldiers of the Kun thief!" Wang Qisuo thought to himself. It seemed different from the rumors. However, he had to admit that although the soldiers of the Kun thief were dressed strangely, their clothes and equipment were clean and neat, and each of them had extraordinary spirit.
He looks like an elite tiger and wolf warrior.
Under the command of the corporal, the soldiers landed in squad units. As soon as they stepped onto the trestle, the corporal's command kept ringing: "Line up!"
"Count!"
"Check the gear!"
"Let's go together!"
"Song 17 of "The Collection of Military Songs Ruled by the Senate"! "The Army Is Not Afraid of Difficulties in Expeditions"! Sing!"
As the low male chorus sounded, one class began to move from the trestle, one class after another, and they got off the ship continuously, which actually made the onlookers feel that the troops were coming out in an endless stream.
In the temporary barracks on the dock, the flag of the Fourth Infantry Battalion was flying. Zhu Mingxia, the leader of the northbound detachment, stood under the flag and extended his hand to Lu Wenyuan, who was walking quickly.
"We've finally waited for you." Lu Wenyuan almost burst into tears - there was no need to worry anymore, "Now we are relieved!"
"You have Lao Chen holding the battle, so what are you afraid of? I don't even have a machine gun." Zhu Mingxia joked and Chen Sigen chuckled a few times: "Little Deer trusts your Minigun more than a machine gun."
Lu Wenyuan ignored the counterattack and waved his hand: "Let's go into the headquarters to talk."
The headquarters is the conference room in the farm. The fire has been lit and it is warm and cozy. As soon as Zhu Mingxia came in, he took off the officer's short coat.
"It's so warm here." He looked around and stretched his waist. "It's more comfortable to go ashore. It's too tiring to sit on the boat."
He took off his hat and sat down. This time the northbound detachment was delayed for an entire half month in Taiwan. Although the soldiers were not idle, Zhu Mingxia had been very anxious - he was afraid that the delay would be too long and the number of troops would be reduced.
It took a lot of time to adapt to the local environment. This was the first time for this battalion to come to the cold north. Although a large number of northern soldiers were mobilized, soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi still accounted for more than two-thirds of the northern detachment.
"Where is the army's camp?" he asked. This is the question he is most concerned about at the moment.
Lu Wenyuan had already made arrangements. He opened the topographic map of Qimu Island on the table and pointed out a location to him.
"The barracks are located in the valley between the east and west mountains, facing the sun and leeward, with water sources nearby. I have arranged for workers to build drainage channels and public toilets locally, and also built a number of semi-underground shacks and wooden barracks. However,
Maybe there’s not enough quantity…”
"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will just build another part by themselves." Zhu Mingxia said, "How about the food?"
"A week's rations for five thousand people."
Zhu Mingxia said: "That's enough. Including the advance company, the landing troops will only be 1,000 people."
The main force of the northward detachment landing on Qimu Island includes 6 infantry companies, 1 engineering company, 1 artillery company and 2 supply companies. The remaining troops will be deployed to Jeju Island.
