Dragon Sea Empire

The Military Intelligence Department of the Chinese Army is still directly in charge of Yin Feng.Some daily affairs are assisted by Zeng Rui.Li Lihua is in charge of Nanyang affairs.Mai Xiaoliu is the regional supervisor.Hainan Island is under the control of the Department of Internal Medicine by the Ministry of Military Intelligence.Information about Yu Zigao going to Hainan to serve as General Qiongya.It was after Yin Feng dispatched the Hainan Task Force.I just got it after tossing around.

then.This information came when Yan Siqi landed in Sanya Port.It was transferred from the Internal Affairs Department of the Military Intelligence Department to his hands.

"Hehe. Classmate. Now I am a general. The promotion is fast enough."

Yan Siqi was wearing a European-style aristocratic suit.Standing on the head of Yazhou City with a high air: "Go to Qiongzhou Mansion. In the end, we have to meet the real chapter with our brothers and sisters of the same school. Haha. Life is wonderful. Nothing is better than this."

Yan Siqi used to be a member of Yin Feng's personal guard.Although I have studied in the infantry department and command department of the Chinese Military Academy.But they are teaching intermittently.The total course hours shall not exceed one year.But it took five years to finish it one after another.Therefore, he and many officers and non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Chinese Military Academy are considered classmates.Yu Zigao was with him for a while.We used to sit together in the same classroom for class.

Lin Shuisheng and Cao Tai, the supervisor of the Nanyang Task Force, spoke based on their military school qualifications.Graduated earlier than Yan Siqi.But you can't call him a senior brother in front of him.Because Yan Siqi actually entered the school to study much earlier than them all.

Lin Shuisheng said: "Brother Yu entered school a year earlier than me. He was in the battle of Kagoshima during the expedition against Japanese pirates Satsuma. He led the bayonet charge on the city hill. He is a brave and resourceful general. It should not be underestimated. "

Yan Siqi snorted: "Hmph. So what. He is not the general now. He has only been in Qiongzhou for a few months. He can't command those guest soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi. The thousands of people under him are not self-conscious when they are fighting. Just It’s not bad.” He pointed to the artillery carriages of the Nanyang Regiment that were leaving the city and said, “Just push these 24-pound guns into the mountains. The people’s lair can be breached in just one day. That’s it. All the troops hurry up Go north. Drive the rebel army to the north. Let them entangle with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. We seize the time to consolidate the control area. Avoid fighting with the officers and soldiers first. Finally, we will deal with them."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao: "Boss Lin. Brother Lin. Look..."

Lin Xiao chuckled: "Hurry up and set off too. It's about combat. You should discuss and decide at the front line. This is not a job I'm good at."

……

Lin Xiao was able to take the initiative to give up the battlefield command to the frontline generals.And the Jin Qi family, the deputy general of Guangdong, refused to let Yu Zigao lead an army southward alone.

No matter how Yu Zigao requested.Vice President Jin just didn't allow him to lead the troops south alone.Attack directly to Wuzhi Mountain.The reason is that the army has divided into east and west and went south.Then send troops to the south.The troops will be dispersed.In case the people in Wuzhi Mountain suddenly go north to attack Qiongzhou.That would be weak defense.Jin Qi's family actually wanted to hold only the main force of the officers and soldiers who went to Hainan Island this time.Waiting for change.And keep yourself safe.

Yu Zigao told him: The Chinese Army intervened this time to wipe out Li Chao.It must be trying to fish in troubled waters.Grab the territory.

Jin Qi's family did not believe that these armed forces of the Huaxing United could run amok at sea.But how can we fight against the imperial army on land.They came here just to take advantage of the fire.Looting something will naturally recede.

No matter what, Yu Zigao couldn't convince Jin Qi's family of the strength of the Chinese army.King himself has another consideration.He believes that the Chinese army is armed at sea.This is a fact unanimously recognized by officers and soldiers along the coast of Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang.In case of a conflict with the Chinese army, they will be annoyed.They cut off the Qiongzhou Strait with their fleet.Then Jin Qi's family became a lone army.

In short.Because of the timidity of Jin Qi's family, they avoided the war.Yu Zigao was within three months after Yan Siqi landed in Sanya.Nothing.same period.The officers and soldiers of the East and West were in a stalemate.It was blocked in places such as Wuwanshui and Wenlanshui.

Lin Xiao received a letter from Yin Feng brought by the logistics fleet.Then he personally rushed to Yan Siqi's camp under Le'an City.

"Look at the letter from the ship's owner. He asked us to seize the surrounding areas of Changhua quickly. Especially the mountainous area in the west. Then let those prospecting masters go to find iron ore immediately. You see what to do."

Adhering to the plan proposed by Yan Siqi to drive away wolves and attack tigers.The most forward unit of the Chinese Army at this moment has not crossed Wuzhi Mountain.The Taiwan Aboriginal camp is still on the west coast of Hainan Island.It is still dozens of miles away from Changhua County.It is entangled with a group of civilian rebels.

Yan Siqi patted his head in distress: "It's really strange. Why is the captain so sure that there will be a big iron mine in Changhua? Although Le'an City has been captured now, but the surrounding Limin villages have not surrendered yet. We can't leave now... like this Let’s go. I’ll transfer Lin Shuisheng, the Sailor Musketeers, and the newly arrived student battalion to you. You take the troops to Changhua. Join the Taiwanese indigenous battalion to occupy Zhanzhou and Changhua.”

"Student Army. Can this work?" Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.

The so-called student army.The predecessor was the Boy Scouts where Yan Siqi served as the commander.Now it is the intern camp of the Chinese Military Academy.Generally speaking.The current Chinese Army will not send Boy Scouts to the front line to fight.

Yan Siqi knew what Lin Xiao was hesitating about.He smiled and said: "Brother Lin, I am going to Changhua. There should be only a dozen cottages that have not been subdued. You don't need to fight much. You should be able to break through the dangerous roads in the mountains and reach Changhua. The student army is also a kind of training. After all Large-scale jungle interspersed movement operations in an actual combat environment. There is no chance to encounter it on Taiwan Island.”

Lin Xiao didn't know much about the "Jungle Crossing Movement".But after thinking about it, he felt that there shouldn't be any strong enemies blocking the way.So he decided to lead the team himself.Just to be on the safe side.He also ordered the Third Fleet Squadron stationed in Sanya to send ten three-masted gunboats and twenty fast warships.Depart by sea to Changhua.

Lin Xiao and Lin Shuisheng set off with a total of 1800 sailors and musketeers and a student army.It took only ten days to break through the hundreds of miles of Wuzhi Mountain.Came to the west coast of Hainan Island.And successfully merged with the Taiwanese Aboriginal Battalion.When they came to Changhua County.But found that the county has been deserted.Almost a dead city.It turned out to be more than a month ago.Changhua County has been captured by Li Min rebels taking advantage of the night to cross the city.The walls of this small county town were originally small.It is even more dilapidated now.There are less than a hundred families in the whole city who are still dying.Because the county officials, officials, and city guards were basically killed or fled.For more than a month, Changhua has fallen into a state of complete anarchy.Scattered and sporadic, some rebels attacked the small town one after another.There are also many Han bandits and pirates who took advantage of the fire to rob.The remaining living people in this small county are like zombies.Dying to sit and wait to die.

Lin Xiao led people to help the refugees, Lin Shuisheng left the Siraya Aboriginal Camp, and the student army was in Changhua County.He set off with his troops to find iron ore.Dozens of Chinese and foreign exploration divisions entered the mountainous area of ​​western Changhua under the protection of troops.Start prospecting.

In a few days.The task force of the Third Fleet of the Chinese Army also arrived at Basuo Port, west of Changhua.at the same time.The prospectors sent good news: it is more than 50 miles west of Changhua County.At the place pointed out by Captain Yin Feng.In a valley south of a small river.Copper deposits have been found on the surface here.Malachite type.It has been named "Shiluling" according to Captain Yin's suggestion.Dig no more than a few feet down the copper layer.The fine iron ore immediately exposed the surface.Lin Shuisheng was overjoyed.Hurry up and ask Yan Siqi in Yazhou to send more reinforcements to consolidate this area.At the same time he also began to build a fort south of Shilu Ridge.Prepare to control this iron mining area for a long time.

Lin Xiao has been busy rectifying government affairs these days.Call all the refugees living around the county.Raise food relief from the squadron for them.He also asked Yazhou to quickly mobilize civilian officials to Changhua.To restore social order in this county.at the same time.He scattered dozens of rookies to the north.Let them inquire about the news of the northern army.

Just as he was busy re-establishing the Changhua county government agencies.The dispatched spies came back one after another to report: a troop of the government army had broken through the line between Lingao and Wenlanshui.All the rebels there were driven into the mountains.The forward troops are less than thirty miles away from Changhua County.

Ninja training with improved binoculars and special battalions.These Chinese army catches novices in intelligence and reconnaissance.Compared with the Ming Dynasty officials and troops, it is in a state of unilateral transparency.

The novice who went out to investigate found out.This force flies some strange banners.But among them was Yu Zigao's general flag.Not many people.There are only about 2000 of them.But they went south from Lingao all the way to the north of Changhua.Passed through tens of thousands of civilian rebels and bandits.

"Yu Zigao. It can only be him." Lin Shuisheng, who had just rushed back to Changhua to collect supplies, scratched his scalp.He said embarrassingly: "The few villages of the Li people on the side of the iron mine have just been conquered by us. The construction of the Iron Mine Fort has just started. The Sailor Musketeers still have to be stationed in that area."

"Changhua County can't be lost either. Otherwise, the garrison on the iron mine fortress will become a lone army." Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "You must send a few musketeers back to help defend the city."

Lin Shuisheng said: "That's no problem. I'm just worried about the combat effectiveness of the indigenous battalion and the student army. I'll stay here. Brother Lin. You go to Yazhou by sea immediately. You are the supervisor of this Hainan battle. You will coordinate the reinforcements for comparison." suitable."

Lin Xiao laughed: "Come on. Brother Lin. I have seen big battles too. I was also in front of the fight in Manila. ... I have sent a messenger to Yazhou by sea. I will be with you in Changhua City Waiting for Yu Zigao. See what your classmates can do.

As the officers and soldiers approached Changhua.The Chinese Army's new recruits began to encounter challenges in field investigations.Officers and soldiers were able to enter the jungle in the middle of the night.Fight against Chinese soldiers who have experienced training in the dense forests of Taiwan's mountains and the jungles of Luzon.Judging from the means of the other party.It is clear.The opponent also attempted to cover up battlefield intelligence.This is the basic battlefield tactical process taught by the Chinese Military Academy.

After Lin Shuisheng heard the report of the Chinese Army's capture of the raw hands.He couldn't help but smiled wryly and shook his head: "It seems that we all want to go together."
