The target of this attack must be very careful. First of all, it must have a bad reputation among the people, and secondly, it must be very powerful in the local area. This can not only knock the mountain out of the country, but also prevent the people from being too afraid and causing a fight with the same enemy.
Emotions come.
It is not difficult to choose the target. Since Lingao was initially stabilized, the intelligence department began to collect information on neighboring Danzhou and Chengmai counties for future use when taking over power and fighting. The situation in these states and counties, across
The group has quite a comprehensive grasp.
Finally, You Huhu and Yu Zhiqian identified a few local tycoons, all of whom were typical local tycoons in the fish and meat township who colluded with the government. And they were mainly clan landlords. If one family was destroyed, the powerful clan would completely lose control of the local area.
This is more important than simply eliminating a group of local tycoons.
In the next week, Yu Zhiqian led troops and armed forces in Chengmai County, broke into two villages, and intimidated many villages to send food missions. He obtained a large amount of money, food, and people. Most of the prisoners were captured.
He sent all the militiamen to Lingao to disperse and relocate. He took more than a hundred Ding Zhuang and dozens of captured local tyrants and their minions to the city of Chengmai County. Ding Zhuang continued to help dig trenches under the city.
, build earthen forts.
Originally, Youhuhu was just preparing to bluff, but now that there are many people and plenty of food, and seeing that there are not many elite soldiers in Chengmai County, a small battle was fought under the city. Although there were not many casualties, the brave people of the village were about to collapse under the Mini rifle.
The morale of both the senators and the indigenous soldiers was greatly increased.
With the help of 12 pounds of mountain melons, Minnie rifles and explosives, Yu Zhiqian and others suffered no casualties, which was a difficult operation for ordinary rogues and even the Ming army.
The infantrymen suffered nine casualties, while the militiamen suffered one death and eleven wounded. If it had not been time-consuming and laborious to collect and inventory supplies, several more villages could have been destroyed.
Every time after Yu Zhiqian breaks the stronghold, he always lets a few people go and asks them to go to Fucheng to ask for help. You Laohu has already set up lurking posts outside the city gates of Chengmai. Anyone who tries to enter the city to ask for help will be hanged at the city gate.
In the trees outside, no one went back to the county seat.
The captured local tyrants and scoundrels were hanged in batches on the big trees on both sides of the official road from Chengmai to Qiongshan. The whole county of Chengmai was shocked for a while. The gentry and merchants in the county were very frightened and rushed eastward at night.
, escaped from the west gate, and Yu Zhiqian asked the secret sentry outside the city gate not to arrest him, and allowed him to escape.
You Laohu and Yu Zhiqian discussed it. Now that they had food on hand, some people simply set up a stockade under Chengmai City as an advance base. So they sent people back to Ma Niao to ask for instructions. He Ming saw that they were making a huge noise, so he sent another infantryman.
Several teams of trainees from the company and teaching team came over to reinforce.
Youhuhu drove the civilians to build the earth fort around Chengmai. He also sent people to repair the wharves and dredge the port at the seaside. Mei Wan also simply sent an engineering team to give guidance on the project and use the labor force to build the road.
.
The commotion outside the city of Chengmai was very loud. On the official road from Qiongshan to Haikou Qianhusuo to Chengmai, the special reconnaissance team led by Ye Mengyan was also active. He led a team of thirty people and sneaked all the way to Qiongshan County.
Several reconnaissance posts were set up along the way, and the warning line was placed all the way to Qianhusuo City in Haikou. Then they led the troops along the Nandu River to the Jiazi Coal Mine.
Tang Menglong had long been notified that the Ming army might soon launch a campaign against Lingao.
Theoretically speaking, the Jiazi Coal Mine is the property of the Hai family and should not be touched by the government. Moreover, the Jiazi Coal Mine is located in an inland area with inconvenient transportation. It is difficult for the government and the army to take military action. However, the potential danger of the coal mine being attacked is always
Existence. The instructions given by the Government Affairs Council to Tang Menglong are: stop all coal transportation, stop the operation of Haijia Terminal, keep only local personnel behind, and Lin Baiguang is responsible for the specific work. In terms of mining, temporarily reduce the scale of production, and intensify the military training of miners and coal mines.
fortification projects.
When Ye Mengyan arrived at the Jiazi Coal Mine, the production of the entire coal mine had completely stopped. Only the coal washing plant and the briquette plant continued to process the coal. The miners had all been armed and were conducting assassination drills in the open space. Tang Menglong was at the dock and
Several new bunkers have been built in the mining area, and five or six soldiers can be arranged to guard each bunker. There are also many bamboo tubes of explosives used for blasting in the bunkers.
"He Ming has obtained the authorization from the Executive Committee: If necessary, you can take people to withdraw from here. You can withdraw now." Ye Mengyan said, "You only have one platoon here, with more than thirty Mini rifles.
, if the enemy troops come to attack, they will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"Why did the officers and soldiers come to attack this coal mine?" Tang Menglong said carelessly, "You have also walked on the mountain roads along the way. You said that the officers and soldiers would not do anything serious, not attack Lingao, and would be full to support themselves on such a road.
Are you going to fight? Besides, this coal mine can be considered the Hai family’s property after all.”
"This is just in case." Ye Mengyan said, "Anyway, my words have reached us. If you want to retreat, you can retreat as soon as possible. The official army has not yet arrived in Hainan. It will be easier to support your army to retreat now."
Tang Menglong thought for a moment: "I still won't evacuate. There are hundreds of people here, both men and women. It is very inconvenient to evacuate. If you are intercepted by the army along the way, you will suffer a lot of losses. Besides, there are a lot of equipment and infrastructure here.
It also cost a lot of money. Once we withdraw, the villagers and bandits in the mountains will take the opportunity to loot and steal. Once the enemy is defeated, it will be a huge investment to rebuild."
Tang Menglong decided not to withdraw, and Ye Mengyan no longer forced it. He immediately left the explosives and some grenades he had brought with him with Tang Menglong, and also left a small team of special reconnaissance members at Jiazi Coal Mine to assist in the defense.
Ye Mengyan and the remaining people sneaked back to the Haikou area from the mountainous area. His second mission was to harass the local government and garrison in Qiongshan. The special reconnaissance team was small in number and well-equipped, but without heavy weapons. It would be better to directly siege the city like Youhuhu did.
No. Ye Mengyan knew that there was no value in just sniping a few passing post soldiers and the like, so he simply led his team to Daying Mountain outside Qiongshan County.
"If a gun is installed on this commanding height, Qiongshan County cannot surrender immediately?" Ye Mengyan put down his binoculars and muttered to himself. He was wearing a civilian version of the U.S. jungle camouflage BDU during the Vietnam War. He had a VZ68 submachine gun on his shoulder. He was not wearing a helmet.
Behind him were twelve young men carefully selected from his own team. They were all dressed the same as him, except that they used the inconvenient SKS semi-automatic. These special agents sat quietly.
Eat dry food and drink water in the forest.
The entire Qiongshan County is at his feet. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. A big river flows through the south gate and the east gate. Outside the west gate is a manually dug moat, but there is nothing outside the north gate. - Qiongshan County
Like most counties in Hainan, the north gate is not open. Although there is a tower and gate, the inside of the gate has long been blocked by bricks.
It can be seen that the fortification of this city is very poor. Even according to the standards of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, it cannot be said to be very good, it can only be regarded as passable. Ye Mengyan saw that the three city gates were not closed, and they were unsuspecting, and they were sneaking all the way.
When I came here, except for a small group of soldiers patrolling the Qianhusuo City in Haikou, which had checkpoints and patrols more than ten miles outside the city, there were no detection and alert measures along the way - can this also be called a "war state"? It's simply
It was like child's play. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have extreme contempt for the Ming Dynasty officials.
"Squad leader! We sneaked all the way to Qiongshan, what are we going to do next?" a team member asked him.
"The superiors want us to carry out a raid. I don't think this place can withstand the raid. We can probably take over Qiongshan County as soon as we rush down." Ye Mengyan smiled, "Things are quite difficult to handle."
"I see that the streets outside the city are very busy. Let's set a fire and burn the Qiongshan Pass." One of the team members said, "Once the fire is burned, I'm afraid that old guy Wang Zunde will have to force the officers and soldiers to cross the sea."
Ye Mengyan chuckled: "Your idea is very bad. What will you do after everything is burned down?" He thought, in fact, this is a good idea, and it will definitely shock Wang Zunde. But in this way, the Planning Agency, the Government Affairs Council and the elders
Neither the hospital nor the hospital will spare him - even though their motives are different.
"After the fire in Guanxiang, we still have to help the victims." Ye Mengyan said, "Everyone, think of another way!"
At noon that day, Ye Mengyan led the special reconnaissance team down from Daying Mountain. He decided to choose Dongmen Street outside the east gate of Qiongshan County as the location for the demonstration. There were many pedestrians and shops here, so it could cause the greatest sensation.
At present, he left a cover group with automatic rifles on the high ground outside the market. Once a large group of enemies in the city rushed out, he would use automatic rifles to block and shoot. He led seven or eight people to the entrance of Dongmen Guanxiang Street.
Although this place is outside the city, there is a wooden fence guarding it. Now the wooden fence is open and only two people are guarding it.
When Ye Mengyan and others appeared, dressed in colorful clothes and covered with debris, Minzhuang's first reaction was not fear or nervousness, but curiosity. One man with a spear even walked a few steps to get a better look. Wait until he sees it.
When they were clearing their short quarrel, Minzhuang suddenly seemed to understand. He dropped his spear in despair and ran towards the city gate, shouting at the top of his voice:
"The thief is coming! The thief is coming!"
Ye Mengyan waved the submachine gun in his hand, and the team members rushed in. The two team members quickly took control of Muzhakou. He led the people along the street and rushed straight to the gate of the county seat.
Today was not a market day, so there were not many pedestrians on the street. Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw a group of strange-looking people suddenly pouring in.
Several civilians at the gate of the county town seemed to have reacted. Seeing that there were few of them, they shouted and rushed out of the city gate hole with swords and spears to fight. A team member following Ye Mengyan immediately threw out two grenades.
The grenade exploded in the city gate, and suddenly smoke filled the air, followed by screams and screams. The street immediately became chaotic, and pedestrians hurriedly hid in the shops and alleys on both sides. Ye Mengyan knew that he was outnumbered.
Unable to stay for long, he quickly posted two notices of the Fubo Army on the fence at the city gate. After posting the notices, he was not in a hurry to leave. He shouted to the people on the street outside the east gate, saying that they were men of the Fubo Army. They were coming this time.
He came just to warn the government, not to kill the people, and to ask everyone not to be afraid. Everyone in the shops on both sides of the street held their breath, listening to their words, but no one dared to speak. Ye Mengyan and his team immediately turned around and withdrew. At this time, sks-
D rifles rang out one after another. There were several Minzhuangs holding bows and arrows on the tower who wanted to shoot arrows. As soon as they opened their bows, they were all killed by the rifles of the covering team.
After Ye Mengyan's team withdrew from Dongmenwai Street and walked a few miles, he ordered everyone to ambush at a turning point of the post road. Sure enough, in just a few minutes, more than a hundred civilian Zhuang and Xiangyong came to the rescue of a man on horseback carrying a spear.
He led the chase and soon got closer to fifty meters away.
Ye Mengyan patted the special shooter in the team: "Hit the horseman!"
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the leader on horseback got off his horse, and the villagers beside him suddenly became confused. The soldiers of the small team passed by with a row of grenades, and the dense crowd was immediately knocked down by the explosion. No one was killed or injured.
The man immediately turned around and ran towards the county seat. The team members Ye Mengyan arranged to ambush in the back immediately threw a row of grenades, killing and wounding many people. The enemy was defeated like a mountain, and they fled for their lives regardless of whether there was a road or not.
went.
Ye Mengyan fought a beautiful ambush. Knowing that the enemy did not dare to come out to pursue him, he immediately asked someone to retrieve the leader's horse. The team members asked him to ride on the horse, and he shook his head:
"I can't ride a horse..."
In his heart, he thought that if he took the horse with him, he would not be able to continue the raiding battle, but he was reluctant to abandon the horse - it was a rare Mongolian horse in the local area, and it was much more powerful than the short fruit horse.
It was enough to do this once in Qiongshan County. He simply returned to Chengmai to rest for a few days before coming back. Thinking of this, he ordered:
"Take the horse and let's go back to Chengmai first!"
The team members quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Ye Mengyan ordered the head of the leader who led the pursuit to be chopped off and hung on a tree by the roadside. Someone picked up a beautiful dagger from the leader's body and immediately gave it to Ye Mengyan.
"Captain, this thing is very beautiful, just keep it." The team member said.
Ye Mengyan took a look at the dagger. The dark green leather scabbard was inlaid with fine gold and silver filigree patterns. The style was simple, and it was obviously not an ordinary thing.
"Everything seized must be returned to the public, and this dagger must be handed over." Ye Mengyan was not interested in this so-called "magic weapon" that was a cold weapon, but he just thought it looked good. He threw the dagger into his backpack and looked after everyone.
Clean up and retreat immediately.
In order to prevent the officers and soldiers from Haikou Qianhu Station from intercepting them on the way, they left the main road and took a detour, but within a few hours they retreated to You Huhu's camp under Chengmai County.
You Laohu's camp has now been renovated into a sizable camp. He has seven to eight hundred men and women under his command. Under the supervision of the militia, these people are led by members of the construction engineering team to build the camp and level the roads every day.
You Laohu hosted a banquet for Ye Mengyan in his headquarters.
His so-called headquarters was a temporary shack. It was very comfortable inside, with all kinds of seats and even a large mahogany bed. These items were obviously looted from Sixiang during the raids on big business.
You Laohu was very excited after hearing about Ye Mengyan's riot in the Guanxiang of Qiongshan East City - he was originally a man who feared chaos in the world, so such a dramatic and lively scene fascinated him.
"Xiaoye, you've got all the limelight now." You Laohu patted his thigh, "It's much more boring here. We stick our butts out all day long to build roads and stockades in a shabby county town." As he said this, he asked the company chief to give him a message.
Ye Mengyan's team prepared meals, and then prepared some food to entertain Ye Mengyan.
A sumptuous meal was quickly placed on the table, including a large plate of pork ribs. The meat of each rib was bright red and yellow, smelled fragrant, and tasted crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside. It was delicious and mellow.
"This is made by a cook that Lao Yu captured. His skills are very good." You Huhu finished chewing one stick at lightning speed, then picked up another one and started chewing on it.
Yu Zhiqian smiled and said: "It stands to reason that what we do is against discipline..."
"Discipline?" You Laohu originally wanted to say "discipline", but when he thought that saying this might cause people to tug at his pigtails, he changed his mind and said, "Anyway, I was a chef when I was sent to Lingao, and I am a chef when I stay here. I just
Just use it for a while." He then pointed to the ribs, "These ribs are marinated in honey and are crispy in the mouth. They are a bit like Cantonese barbecued pork, but not the same. Anyway, the aftertaste is endless! When I go back, I have to ask the life secretary to follow me.
Cook learns."
In addition to the ribs, there were several plates of fresh vegetables and other dishes. But there was no wine.
"The food is very good. Where does the supply come from?" Ye Mengyan was surprised - the logistics department would never send fresh vegetables and raw meat as supplies.
"Lao Yu has enough money from the big business, chicken, duck, fish, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!" You Laohu shook his head, "Actually, there is a lot of wine, but you can't drink it." He smacked his mouth with regret, "Vegetables and
All the food was collected from the villages in various places. Since we destroyed several villages and killed a group of people, the villages in Chengmai have been scared to death, and they are willing to even ask the rich men to sacrifice their wives."
"This meat has not been quarantined..."
"If you don't eat, you'll be knocked down." You Huhu started to eat the fourth rib. Ye Mengyan saw that the ribs were about to be eaten up by him, so he quickly joined the gluttonous ranks.
The three of them were eating and drinking when a messenger came to report: A representative from the Planning Institute has arrived.
"Now our good days are over." You Laohu shook his head, "Please invite him in quickly."
The fact that Yu Zhiqian went to Chengmai to seize a big business naturally attracted the attention of the Planning Institute. In order to put the seizure of materials and manpower into orbit as soon as possible, Wu De sent a special search team led by a representative of the Planning Institute.
"The final result of using the spoils on the spot is a mess," he said very seriously when giving the order to the representatives of the Planning Institute. "Now You Huhu's detachment is attacking local tyrants under Chengmai City and has gained a lot of property, food and people.
You have to go there to register the spoils of war. Some grain and non-staple food items can be allocated locally to the detachment, but the procedures must be sound."
