The wind blows from the South Sea

Chapter 75 Ready

late at night

When Feng Guohui received the news, he had just come out of the inner room and put on his shirt. When he took it over, he couldn't help being startled, and the expression on his face changed drastically.

He did think that Gui Lao would do something dirty, but he didn't expect that he would do it so secretly?

Nanyang Company and Ma Ganqiang have spread their nets through two channels, but no one has caught wind. It is really a big mistake to rely on Gao Laoqiang from Heantang to inform.

Feng Guohui's expression quickly changed several times, and then he solemnly ordered;

"I would like to tell the visitor that I, Feng, am grateful for your help in this crisis, and I feel very grateful.

From now on, Gao Laohua and He Antang will be our life and death brothers in Nanyang Company. If we have something to eat, our brothers will never go hungry.

The mountains are high and the rivers are long, there will come a time. "

"Master, I have remembered it, and I will not miss a word."

"Well, let's go quickly."

"As ordered!"

Command the headquarters of the third battalion of Mai Laowei in Landa Mountain

From the moment the warning was received, the entire Nanyang Company's huge war machine has been slowly turning.

He urgently mobilized more than 1050 people from various places to reinforce Surabaya City. Together with the military strength of more than 680 people that could be gathered in Surabaya City, the total could reach more than 1730 people.

Effective immediately, all officer leave will be suspended.

The whole battalion entered the highest alert state before the battle. Two extra posts were deployed at night and the patrol team was doubled to guard against enemy sneak attacks.

Feng Guohui wrote a military order under the oil lamp, and then handed it over to the guards to deliver the order one by one.

As long as Link von Petrins can accommodate the Nanyang Company, it's okay to bow his head and listen to greetings for the time being. Anyway, if you pay taxes according to regulations, you will not lose the money and food that are handed over to the Governor's Office.

At this moment, Feng Guohui had a sullen face and murderous intent in his chest, and the surge was almost overflowing.

Those who fail to show up after the deadline will be killed!

He also ordered all his attendants to get up and prepare to carry out the order.

Commanded by Wu Siwen in Yanwang City;

After receiving the order, they immediately stopped the military preparations to wipe out the indigenous tribes. With the cavalry, the first battalion and the fifth battalion, a total of more than 650 people, rushed to the lumber factory in the south of the city at starry night. They arrived at eight o'clock in the morning and waited for military orders.

The terrifying atmosphere was like a heavy boulder. No one around him dared to say anything and quickly became busy.

After his men left, Feng Guohui turned around and ordered Zheng Xiang'er, who came out of the inner room, to wait in the study, light lamps, grind ink, make tea, and burn incense with her jade hands.

This is already 70% of the Nanyang Company's military strength, and it can be said that a lot of money has been spent.

Ordered Hu Laohu's Second Battalion Headquarters stationed in Laoying;

At present, the white ghosts are determined to destroy me and intend to unite some Chinese armed forces to raise troops. The situation is critical, and the second musket company is immediately dispatched to the Feng family mansion to await military orders.

Order the fourth battalion headquarters of He Qiang, Tianjia Town;

After receiving the order, four battalions and one company, with a total of more than 6 officers and soldiers from three companies, rushed forward at night. They must arrive at the lumber factory in the south of the city before 00: tomorrow evening to await military orders.

After receiving the order, they immediately moved three battalions and one company, with a total of more than 7 officers and soldiers from the four companies, rushing forward at night. They must arrive at the old camp before o'clock tomorrow morning and wait for military orders.

Feng Guohui strode into the study with a gloomy face, pondered for a moment, then started writing orders with a brush.

Those who fail to show up after the deadline will be killed!

Those who fail to show up after the deadline will be killed!

Feng Guohui originally planned to survive for a while. Half a year is not too short, and one or two years is not too long.

The idea is good, but the situation changes too quickly.

The more than 400 men of the Second Battalion who were transferred back earlier were just to protect themselves and to deter all forces in Surabaya City from acting rashly, lest they fight with each other.

If he wants to rely on this power to decide the situation in one fell swoop, Feng Guohui is not so confident, let alone so arrogant.

In his heart, he actually wanted to stay in peace for a while and was unwilling to fall out so early.

But the white man put the knife to his neck. It was so incredible that he had no choice but to flip the table!

It was already the end of April. Even though it was late at night and I was wearing a single coat, I still didn't feel cold. The night breeze was refreshing and refreshing.

Feng Guohui wrote another urgent order in handwriting and sent it to his second uncle Feng Zhaoliang who was working at the new port terminal construction site for signature. Then he stopped to rest for a while and drank a few sips of tea.

Taking advantage of a moment of tranquility, consider whether there are any mistakes or omissions in the relevant measures?

The old camp is in the north of the city, and the lumber factory is in the south. These two places gather the main military strength of the Nanyang Company. Once activated, it only takes just over 20 minutes to gather in the center of Surabaya City and block the surrounding roads.

This kind of deployment is steady and steady, and there is nothing wrong with the plan.

The white community in the central area of ​​Surabaya City has more than 3,000 people, belonging to 400 to 500 white immigrant families, including the elderly, young and dependents.

These descendants of white Dutch immigrants have formed a small circle of white society in Surabaya City. They are incompatible with the local Chinese and indigenous people, and they seem to live in two worlds.

among these people

The number of white men who can really pick up a gun and fight, from the age of twelve or thirteen to the old man, can only kill seven or eight hundred people, and there can't be more.

Most of the young and strong white men are busy in plantations across East Java on weekdays, especially now that it is the harvest season, they cannot take any time off.

It is neither Christmas nor a holiday, so there are mostly white family members in Surabaya City, a high proportion of women and children, and relatively few young and middle-aged men with nothing to do.

The only thing I'm worried about... is the Qiao family.

Nothing in the night

Chengnan Timber Factory

In the early morning, when the sky is just getting dark,

A group of tired-looking heavily armed soldiers escorted some people, then hurriedly entered the lumber factory in the south of the city, and then closed the door tightly.

These people were all farmers who got up early. They were encountered during the march, and they had to be forced to follow them into the lumber factory to prevent the news from leaking.

Wu Siwen is a seasoned veteran and will not make mistakes in details.

Feng Guohui had already been waiting at the Chengnan Timber Factory for a long time. He looked at the gold pocket watch on his body and saw that the time was 6:47 in the morning, more than an hour earlier than the scheduled arrival of 8 o'clock.

Wu Siwen marched on horseback, which was much better than the soldiers who were marching on foot. He stepped forward in high spirits, saluted and reported;

"Reporting to the leader of the regiment, a total of 655 people from our Yanwang City Militia Division rushed forward at night and arrived at the Chengnan Timber Factory on time to deliver their orders. Please give instructions, sir."

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. All tea and food are ready. Let everyone eat immediately. After eating, rest on the spot and wait for orders."

"As you command, sir."

The soldiers who had been marching in a hurry were already sweating through their heavy clothes, but they still maintained an orderly queue and high morale. It can be seen that the effectiveness of closed training is remarkable.

After hearing the order, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

At this moment, the gate of the Chengnan Timber Factory was closed. In the open space, four large pots were standing on the bonfire, simmering broth.

Last night, I killed 4 healthy cattle, sent two to Laoying, and the other two are in the lumber factory in the south of the city. The beef soup has been simmering for more than an hour. The soup is rich and fragrant.

The fist-sized pieces of meat are tumbling in the big iron pot, which makes people salivate.

He opened the lid of the pot and poured a large basin of chopped green onions directly into it. After stirring it a few times with a large iron spoon, he added half a basin of salt and pepper. The aroma was instantly stimulated.

The soldiers each got a large piece of meat, which weighed more than a kilogram. Together with stewed radish and a large pot of broth, the food was really mouth-watering.

Each person has one piece of big-faced pancake, which is not enough to eat.

After receiving the warning last night, dozens of people in the entire Feng family mansion were mobilized, making dough and making big cakes all night until early in the morning, making dozens of baskets of big cakes.

Right now, the guys and maids in the mansion are busy putting up big cakes to prepare extra meals for the soldiers at noon and evening.

Feng Guohui was a veteran general who had experienced battles for a long time. He was very experienced in leading troops. He also paid attention to the details before the war started, so that the soldiers would not go to the battlefield hungry.

"Reporting to the regiment, a total of 217 people from the Third Battalion of Mai Laowei in Landa Mountain have successfully arrived at the old camp at 6:38. I have specially ordered my subordinates to report here and are ready for military orders at any time."

"Very good, order the second and third battalions to rest and recuperate immediately, waiting for the agreed trumpet action."

"As you command, sir."

Watching the herald leave, Feng Guohui's eyes flashed with chill.

Now that all preparations have been made and everything that should be in place is in place, it is time to attend the consultation of the Official Committee Council.

No matter what time, it is right to be polite before fighting.
