Let’s fight a war on the border of Guangdong and Fujian first!
This is a strategy that Wang Hengyue had formulated before.
This army was afraid of the two-yang combination. Yang Sen and Yang Jie, just like Liu Zhaocheng, had too many high hopes placed on them by Wang Hengyue.
Yang Jie didn't think highly of Yang Sen. From the first moment he saw Yang Sen, he firmly believed that this man had a "rebellion" behind his head. If he doesn't rebel today, he will definitely rebel in the future.
But who would have thought that Hengshuai would assign himself to him.
Although I am not so willing in my heart, things are already like this, what other options can I have?
"Zhao'an, Yunxiao, and Pinghe have all been placed under military martial law, and the Zhejiang coalition forces are on very tight guard.
"Yang Sen didn't care what his chief of staff was thinking. He pointed at the map and said, "Shuai Heng said he wanted to move here. Brother Geng Guang, what do you think we should do?"
The topic turned to military operations, and Yang Jie's expression became serious: "I have an idea, not to fight the enemy head-on!"
"Oh?" Yang Sen was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Yang Jie pointed to a location on the map and looked in the direction of his finger. Yang Sen blurted out: "Qiongzhou?"
"Qiongzhou!" Yang Jie's answer was decisive: "Cross the sea and strike the dragon!"
"Crossing the sea to attack the dragon? Does Brother Geng Guang mean to defeat the dragon Ji Guang first?"
Yang Jie nodded, confident: "Long Jiguang is based in Qiongzhou and has been eyeing Leizhou for a long time. If our army launches an attack on Fujian, Long Jiguang will definitely take advantage of the situation, harass Leizhou, and then intimidate Guangdong. My
The idea is to concentrate all the artillery to bombard the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition forces and put up an offensive posture so that they dare not act rashly. Then, with the cooperation of the navy, one to two divisions will attack the dragon across the sea, defeat Long Jiguang's troops, and seize the opportunity.
Qiongzhou!”
Yang Sen thought for a long time and then struck the table suddenly: "Okay, attack the dragon across the sea! I will use Wang Zanxu's 6th Division as the main force to attack Qiongzhou. I will personally sit here to force the Allied Forces to not dare to act rashly."
"Our troops cannot move. We must use all our main force to attack the Zhejiang Allied Forces after the Northern Expedition begins." Yang Jie said: "The battle of attacking the dragon is related to whether our army can go smoothly after the Northern Expedition begins."
The key to capturing Yue Zhejiang is to report this information to Hengshuai. Hengshuai has Jiang Fangzhen here, so he must know how to deal with it."
Yang Sen pondered for a moment: "Come here, give Yashuai power!"
"Crossing the sea to kill a dragon?"
Wang Hengyue held Yang Sen's telegram in his hand and handed it to Jiang Baili.
Jiang Baili took a rough look: "This must be Yang Gengguang's handiwork. He has created a problem for us. They continue to threaten the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition forces, and we need to be responsible for capturing Qiongzhou. If Qiongzhou falls into our hands, Li Houji and
Tong Jiaxuan will definitely be panicked. The Fujian and Zhejiang armies will be cut off, and their morale will be unstable. It will be much easier to attack again."
He frowned slightly as he spoke: "It's just that we need to carefully consider who is suitable for the capture of Qiongzhou. The main forces of our army are preparing for the Northern Expedition. The only ones that can be deployed at the moment are the Police Equipment Division and the Huben Division..."
Wang Hengyue pointed at Jiang Baili and said with a "haha" smile: "Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen, just keep pretending. The only ones that can be deployed are the guard division and the Huben division? Just ask me to take command personally, can't you?"
Jiang Baili also laughed: "Heng Shuai is wise and wise, that's what I mean. Now Guangzhou is stable and there are no hidden dangers. Although Qiongzhou is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, Longji Guangpan stands there and never pays attention to the orders of the military government. If you want to
To successfully defeat Long Jiguang, Hengshuai must personally take action. There is another level of key. Defeating Long Jiguang is not a big problem. What is important is how to appease Qiongzhou. I think only Hengshuai can do both.
I took action myself."
"Okay, okay, you Jiang Fangzhen and Yang Gengguang dug a hole together and waited for me to jump into it." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "You guys have been watching me feel comfortable for too long, and your mind is not balanced. You have to find something for me to do.
, I will follow your wishes."
After making a few jokes, his expression became serious: "That's good. Since the establishment of our navy, we have never fought a war. Although this expedition will not cause a naval battle, it will still give them a practical combat experience.
, ordered the navy to prepare, mobilize all the guard divisions and Huben divisions, and set off immediately without delay!"
After Wang Hengyue became the Grand Marshal of the military government, the first expedition of the Guardian Fleet began!
The "Haiqi" was selected as Wang Hengyue's flagship. I don't know why, but when the general marshal of the military government stepped onto the deck, his face looked a little ugly.
Ye Baoer, who put on military uniform and accompanied her husband on the expedition, knew why this was and why her husband took her with him.
The generalissimo of the military government, the commander-in-chief with the dream of a big navy, is a standard landlubber!
Ye Bao'er also taught her husband how to have it, but unfortunately, Wang Hengyue is like a weight. When he enters the water, he sinks straight down, and he can't even flutter a few times. Ye Bao'er was so frightened that he quickly stopped teaching.
My husband's thoughts about swimming.
"Report to Commander Heng that the Guardian Fleet has completed its preparations for the expedition, requesting the expedition!"
"Get ready for the expedition!"
"The Guardian Fleet, attack!"
As the whistle sounded, Wang Hengyue's first naval expedition began!
"Hengshuai, over there is the cruiser "Haichen", that is the cruiser "Haichou." Over there is the destroyer "Flying Eagle", "Tongan", and that is the "Yongfeng", "Wufeng" gun
Regret," Zhang Xiaoyue, standing next to Wang Hengyue, introduced them one by one.
"Ah, ah, okay." Wang Hengyue stood there as if he felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Xiaoyue was in high spirits and did not notice Heng Shuai's discomfort: "Long Jiguang's military strength is not strong, and his navy is almost zero. He made several sneak attacks on Leizhou, and almost all relied on fishing boats and other tools to transport troops. Therefore, we are at sea.
We won’t encounter any obstacles. The only thing we need to pay attention to is the post-landing operations.”
Wang Hengyue forced a smile: "It is not difficult to defeat Long Jiguang. The difficulty lies in how to appease Qiongzhou.
Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, and this time Long Jiguang has no wings to fly."
Zhang Xiaoyue said: "Qiongzhou has a very long history. In the sixth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, General Lu Bode and General Yang Pu led troops to pacify South Vietnam. In the first year of Yuanfeng, Zhuya County was established in Qiongzhou, and Dan'er County was established in Qiongzhou.
County. In the spring of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan dismissed Zhuya County, and issued an edict to abandon Zhuya County and set up Zhulu County, which was subordinate to Hepu County in Jiaozhou. In the 19th year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu Bo General Ma Yuan pacified Jiaozhi, traveled to the South China Sea, and Fuding
Zhuya was re-established in Zhuya County, which belonged to Hepu County and was in the province of Zhulu County. In the 10th year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty, Dan'er County was re-established. Zhuya and Dan'er counties were both subordinate to Hepu County and supervised by Jiaozhou..."
He is very familiar with the history of Qiongzhou, but Wang Hengyue does not know this. He only knows that Qiongzhou is Hainan Island.
Listening to Zhang Xiaoyue's allusions to Qiongzhou with great interest, the original physical discomfort was temporarily forgotten. Zhang Xiaoyue pointed in the direction of Qiongzhou and said: "Qiongzhou used to be a place where officials and criminal officials were exiled for a long time.
After the establishment of counties in Qiongzhou in the Han Dynasty, criminals were expelled there. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the largest number of prisoners were exiled to Hainan Island. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they basically no longer exiled criminals to Hainan Island. "Su Dongpo was once
Exiled to Qiongzhou?" Wang Pingyue asked smoothly.
"Yes, it was considered a miracle that he could survive from Qiongzhou." Zhang Xiaoyue nodded and said: "It is said that when he returned north, almost thousands of people crowded the streets, vying to see this old man who had created a miracle."
Wang Hengyue sighed: "It's not easy, it's not easy. We were going to Qiongzhou at that time, but there were no cruisers and destroyers. If a strong wind and waves came, those ships would sink. But Su Dongpo not only made it to Qiongzhou alive, but also came back alive...
…”
He paused there and said: "In other words, it is precisely because of the literati who were exiled from the Central Plains that the island's simple customs gradually flourished and people became adept at etiquette. Without Su Dongpo's teachings, where would Qiongzhou be?
Jinshi, when did people learn to learn? The place of exile has also become a place for good politicians who have failed in officialdom to live up to their reputation."
Zhang Xiaoyue was slightly silent there: "Yes, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, Qiongzhou was stable, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Qiongzhou began to become unstable, with many rebellions and often out of control. In the Ming Dynasty, Qiongzhou Zhizhou Zheng Tingzhen gave the imperial court the title "Pingli"
The book begins with this: Since Qiong was founded as a county, it has been more than 1,600 years, and it has not been harmed by Li thieves at any time, but it has never been as miserable as today. This statement is not a complaint, but a fact. Local sāo
There was chaos, and the people rebelled and the soldiers suppressed the war, and there were numerous articles!"
"Military is secondary, stabilizing the local area is important." Wang Hengyue's face turned pale, and he barely controlled himself and said: "There are dozens of ethnic minorities in Hainan, and each ethnic group has its own customs. Just take care of it."
You have to take care of this and that. We also have to try our best to win over the local chieftains, who have a heavy task."
"I think we can use both force and gentleness." Zhang Xiaoyue pondered for a moment: "For those who are willing to cooperate with us, we can give them certain rights. For those who are determined to prevent us from landing on the island, you are welcome. Completely eliminate the hidden dangers."
good."
"We must also encourage as many immigrants as possible." Wang Hengyue held the side of the boat with both hands, feeling a little comfortable as the sea breeze blew: "Those from the mainland should move to Qiongzhou Island, and those on the island can also be encouraged to come to the mainland."
The wind and waves on the sea became strong, and the ship began to rock. After Wang Hengyue said this, he stopped talking.
"Heng Shuai, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoyue finally noticed something strange and asked hurriedly. As if he suddenly thought of something, a strange smile appeared on his face. Ye Baoer, who had long realized that something was wrong with her husband, confirmed Zhang Xiaoyue's judgment: "He,
The grand marshal of the military government, Wang Hengyue, who is almost omnipotent on land, is seasick!!.
