Chapter 1026 Landing on Qimu Island

To achieve such a goal, appropriate "guidance" is needed.The Senate did not have any brilliant tongues, so they could not manipulate the actions of Kong Youde, Li Jiuzheng and others with their three-inch tongues. The only way was to intervene by force.

Stop or speed up the movement of rebels at a certain node.Guide the rebels to operate according to the requirements of the command.In addition to investing in special warfare forces, the main mission of the Northward Detachment is also here.

Throughout the deployment of the operation, the headquarters made a decision to ensure that Sun Yuanhua would not "trap a thief".As long as Sun Yuanhua is not captured by the rebels, not only will his crimes be greatly reduced, but he will be in a more active and favorable situation in the next stage of counter-insurgency operations, and most of the power to preside over the counter-insurgency will fall into his hands.Coupled with Xu Guangqi at the court, they are working hard to run Fushe, plus the power of Eunuch Yang in the palace, echoing both inside and outside, active activities, it is likely to "exonerate" or even "make meritorious service".Then keep Sun Yuanhua's Denglai governor's position.

Keeping Sun Yuanhua as the governor of Denglai will greatly facilitate the next step of the Senate's activities in Shandong.In particular, Dongsanfu is geographically self-contained in Shandong, and there are a large number of good coastal ports, which have the potential for armed separatism.According to normal history, it won't be long before the Manchu Qing enters the customs for the second time and will enter Shandong, a place of corruption.The Ming court's rule in Shandong will be severely hit, and then it will be able to infiltrate the entire Shandong area on a large scale based on the three eastern prefectures.

Taking a step back, even if Sun Yuanhua's position as governor cannot be kept, Sun Yuanhua still has room for recovery.Using this to collude with Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi's new and pragmatic bureaucratic forces in the imperial court also has positive significance for the next step of political and economic penetration into Ming Dynasty.Moreover, such a "good relationship" is stronger than a "relationship" obtained by simply bribing with silver.

One of the main missions of the Special Forces is to ensure that Sun Yuanhua will not "trap a thief".When necessary, special forces will be dispatched to rescue him.

To what extent Sun Yuanhua can be used to control, the headquarters cannot make an accurate estimate, but this person advocates Western learning and emphasizes practice.He is a pragmatic official with a relatively flexible attitude, and his side has the banner of the Jesuits, so cooperation should be possible to some extent.

Through Huang Ande's relationship with Sun's family member Sun Yuan and other past robes, Lu Wenyuan can roughly grasp the general activities of Sun Yuanhua in the Denglai area-he has set up a spy in Dengzhou, and a group of messengers will send Dengzhou to Dengzhou every day. The actual information collected on the day is delivered.

Wearing a thick padded jacket, Wang Qisuo stood guard on the newly built fort near the trestle bridge—Master Lu didn't call it a fort, but a "cannon tower".It is quite vivid to say, because it is a three-story brick and stone building, and the soldiers stationed can live in it.On top stands a strange cannon: square.The inside is densely packed with iron pipes.Comes on a disc-shaped shelf.

He stood next to this delicate—it was scrubbed and oiled every day—wrapped in a guncoat, looking out over the sea.The sea breeze was blowing, it was really unbearable.But Wang Qisuo didn't dare to neglect: this was the task assigned to him by Huang Ande, the leader of the Township Bravery Team: "Keep an eye on the sea at all times, and report as soon as there is a ship emitting black or white smoke!" He repeatedly urged Wang Qi Ask several times.

Wang Qisuo was very puzzled. It was okay to say that there was white smoke on the boat, maybe someone was cooking on the deck, but didn’t the black smoke mean it was on fire?
Bewildered or puzzled, he still carried out the task meticulously.Since he was rescued by Master Lu, he has already understood the working rules of these people: don't talk too much, absolutely obey the orders from above, and do things according to the rules.

"These kun thieves are really petty." Wang Qisuo said to himself.Although he didn't know why he was asked to watch the sea, he still searched the cold and desolate sea.

No matter on the sea or in the bay, few ships can be seen.Only some small fishing boats are active on the nearby sea.Several of these were the boats of the island's fishermen and tenants.These boats bring some fresh fish and shrimps every day for the people of the village brave team to fight their teeth.

In the bay, thanks to the hard work of the refugees, the trestle bridge on Qimu Island has changed from one to three, and the longest one is nearly half a mile long. No one knows what is the use of building so many trestle bridges so long.Except for the fishing boats of Master Lu's tenants, only cargo ships carrying coal, grain and timber docked here.

Suddenly, several streaks of black smoke rose from the sea in the distance—very eye-catching under the clear winter sky.He hurried forward a few steps, leaning almost out of the battlements on top of the tower.

That's right, it really is black smoke!There are four roads in total, and as time goes by, the traces of black smoke become thicker and thicker, straight into the sky.

Wang Qisuo cheered up: "Here we come!" He hurriedly struck the bell hanging beside the sentry post.

The main force of the Second Fleet: the flagship Zhenyang, the convoy composed of Nongchao, Daishuang, and Fubo escorted eight H800 transport ships to transport the main force of the Northward Detachment.

The main force of the Second Fleet almost came out in full force. This is because Longkou is very close to the Ming army in Penglai Water City. Large-scale sea transportation will definitely attract the attention of the Ming army. There must be sufficient protection, and secondly, escort the main force to land. Afterwards, the Second Fleet will take advantage of the trend to cruise in the waters of Jeju Island, carry out preventive strikes against the local naval forces of Ming and North Korea, seize command of the sea, and clear the way for the next landing on Jeju Island.

Wang Qisuo's eyes widened, watching the fleet of boats rolling towards Qimu Island from far and near - so many big ships!For a moment he involuntarily held his breath.The Kun thief's fleet is really powerful, and 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.Boarded a few small boats moored on the shore, and quickly rowed to the periphery of the bay.This is when the naval pilots who arrived earlier set off immediately, and began to deploy navigation buoys outside the bay.

The ships of the Second Fleet are too many and too big, and even the three trestles cannot meet the needs of berthing, so all the small boats on the island are dispatched to transport people and goods.The boats shuttled in the bay, and it was very busy.

Wang Qisuo stared at this scene dumbfounded, only to see soldiers he had never seen pouring out of the dozen or so large ships.Wearing a dark gray long coat of one color - the hem reaches to the knees, with a white belt around the waist, and a thick, furry hat that can protect the cheeks, with a shiny star emblem dotted on the forehead of the hat.A cross-shaped bag and water bottle are carried on the chest, and a short knife is hung on the waist.Wear tight boots.He carried a large rucksack on his back, and a thin blanket was tied to the top of the rucksack.Each person carries a long bird gun on his back.

"This is the soldier of the Kun bandit!" Wang Qisuo thought to himself, it seemed different from the rumors.However, he had to admit that although the soldiers of the Kun Bandit were dressed strangely, their uniforms and equipment were neat and neat, and each of them had an extraordinary spirit. They looked like elite tiger and wolf soldiers.

Under the command of the corporal, the soldiers landed in squads. As soon as they stepped on the trestle, the corporal's password kept ringing:
"Line up!"

"Count the numbers!"

"Check the gear!"

"Let's go!"

""The Collection of Military Songs Ruling by the Senate" No.17! "The Great Army Is Not Afraid of Difficulties in the Expedition"! Sing!"

As the deep male voice chorus sounded, one squad began to move from the trestle bridge, one squad after another, continuously came down from the boat, which made the onlookers feel that the troops came out continuously.

On the temporary barracks on the pier, the flag of the Fourth Infantry Battalion was flying, and Zhu Mingxia, the leader of the Northward Detachment, stood on the flag and stretched out his hand to Lu Wenyuan who was walking quickly.

"It's finally time for you guys." Lu Wenyuan almost burst into tears—there is no need to worry, "We can rest assured now!"

"You have Lao Chen in charge, what are you afraid of? I don't even have a machine gun." Zhu Mingxia joked
Chen Sigen laughed a few times: "Xiaolu trusts your Miniguns more than machine guns."

Lu Wenyuan didn't care about counterattack, and waved his hand: "Come on, let's go into the headquarters to talk."

The headquarters is the meeting room in the farm, and the fire dragon has been born, and the warmth is harmonious.As soon as Zhu Mingxia came in, he took off the officer's short coat.

"It's really warm here." He looked around and stretched his waist, "It's still comfortable to go ashore, I'm too tired from the boat."

He took off his hat and sat down.This time, the northbound detachment was delayed for half a month in Taiwan.Although the soldiers were not idle, Zhu Mingxia was always anxious—he was afraid that the delay would be too long, and the troops would lose 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 northward detachment.

"Where are the troops camped?" he asked.This is what he is most concerned about right now.

Lu Wenyuan had already made arrangements. He opened the topographic map of Qimu Island on the table and showed him a location.

"The barracks are located in the valley between the east and west mountains, facing the wind and the sun, and there is a water source nearby. I have arranged labor to build drainage channels and public toilets in the local area, and also built a batch of semi-underground shacks and wooden barracks. However Maybe not enough…”

"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will build a part by themselves." Zhu Mingxia said, "How about the food?"

"A weekly ration for 5000 people."

Zhu Mingxia said: "That's enough. Including the advance company, there will only be 1000 troops landing."

The main force of the northbound detachment that landed on Qimu Island included 6 infantry companies, 1 engineer company, 1 artillery company and 2 supply companies.The rest of the troops will be deployed to Jeju Island.
