Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 467 Troubled Summer ([-])
Liu Yao's question was purely about which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted. He Zhen has always regarded the fact that he could not fully enter Shan Maxi as a regret in his life, and he really didn't want to mention it in front of everyone. In the pre-war meeting, and Liu Yao was not only the admiral of the navy but also the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, He Zhen had no choice but to answer the questions he asked. Most of the Chinese are from Guangdong and Fujian. They are basically the descendants of the remnant soldiers and defeated generals of the previous Ming Dynasty, and many of them are the descendants of the defeated soldiers of the Zheng family. Tried hard, but never got anything.”

Former Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong, etc. were taboo topics in the Qing Dynasty. When He Zhen said this, many generals who had been listening quietly were suddenly in an uproar, and the chatter was loud.Xiao Sanlang, the irascible commander of the Second Squadron, was the first to jump out and cursed: "A group of bastards who have no king and no father, they would rather be the dogs of the barbarians than the people of my Qing Dynasty, such scum Why keep it? Take down Dan Maxi and wipe out this group of scum!"

"That's right, a bunch of bastards, kill them all!"

"Damn it, a group of dogs are impatient to live! Let's see how the man cleans them up!"

... As soon as Xiao Sanlang began to scold, all the generals were excited and immediately began to scold.Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Yunyu quickly snorted coldly, waved his hands and said, "We will discuss this matter later, how to deal with those bastards, or wait until Shan Maxi is defeated, what we need to discuss today is how to fight this battle !"

Liu Yao is Yinzuo's confidant, and has followed Yinzuo for a long time. Although he doesn't understand the significance of the establishment of the Chinese nation advocated by Yinzuo, he also understands that Yinzuo intends to knead the entire Chinese descendants into a unified nation. In order to build a powerful empire, Liu Yao has no idea how to deal with Shan Maxi's descendants of the former Ming Dynasty. As soon as the words fell, Liu Yao continued: "What the prince said is very true. When Shan Maxi is taken down, how to deal with it will be up to the Holy One. We only need to consider how to take down the Straits of Malacca."

Yunti is a killer, he never cared about things like human life, he didn't care about those so-called survivors of the Celestial Dynasty at all, he didn't care whether he killed or left Yunti, seeing Liu Yao's words at this time Some people were weird, and they were a little stunned, but they didn't take it to heart. They glanced at the generals, and said solemnly: "Everyone has already understood the enemy's situation, and now come up with an idea on how to fight this battle." It is a tradition of the Navy to express their opinions at military seminars. At this time, Yun Yu and Liu Yao, the commander in chief and the deputy in charge, both spoke, and the big guys began to offer their suggestions unceremoniously.

"My lord, my lord Liu, I think that this battle must not be attacked by force, but the only strategy for now is to outsmart it. The final general thinks that it is necessary to try to mobilize the main force of the English fleet of Shan Maxi, and surround and wipe it out in the open sea." The impatient Xiao Sanlang was the first to stand up again and said loudly.

"My lord, Lord Liu, a certain general thinks what Lord Xiao said is reasonable, but how to call out the main fleet of England is a difficult problem. A certain general thinks it is better to send part of the fleet to provoke Shan Maxi, and deliberately make a gesture of attacking Shan Maxi , and then pretended to be defeated, leading the English fleet to chase after them, provoking the English fleet to chase out of the ocean, and then the main force of our army gathered into a fist, and wiped out the main English fleet on the ocean." Liu Tianlong, deputy commander of the Second Squadron, stood up, He loudly seconded his own general's suggestion.

Liu Ninghai, the new Commander of the First Squadron, immediately objected: "You two commanders, the last general thinks that the advice of Lord Xiao and Liu is not safe. There are three reasons: First, our army has too many fleets to provoke It disturbed the English fleet, so that they did not dare to come out to meet the enemy. Instead, they took the opportunity to withdraw their poison. If there is less, one possibility is to send sheep to the tiger's mouth. Our army was unable to achieve the planned combat goal of dispatching the English fleet. Second, after passing Huangyan Island, there are many battlefields suitable for large fleets to fight, but the places suitable for my main fleet to ambush are very limited. Only Bacao In addition, although there are countless small islands, it is impossible to hide the huge fleet of our army in them. It takes about ten hours for Dan Maxi to reach Bacao Island, the nearest of the above four sea areas, and about a day and a half to reach the farthest Serasan Island. In such a long time, our army lured the enemy fleet It is hard to say whether we can avoid being overtaken by the enemy's main fleet in the case of crosswinds. Once caught in a tight siege and our main fleet cannot arrive in time, we will lose our strength and gain nothing. Third, Our army is now taking advantage of the monsoon, and the monsoon is about to change. Once the wind direction changes and the English fleet has never appeared, our army will be in a completely passive state. At that time, the only way to go is to attack. "

Liu Ninghai was originally the deputy commander of the First Squadron. He was promoted after the transfer of the former commander Qiao Hailong. He is the youngest among the commanders of the three major squadrons, and the relationship between the First Squadron and the Second Squadron has always been delicate. At this time, when Xiao Sanlang heard Liu Ninghai pointed out the loopholes in his tactics, he was a little unhappy immediately, squinting his eyes and said: "Master Liu's words are sweet, but in your opinion, our army has no other way except forcibly attacking." Can we go?"

Liu Ninghai said unhurriedly: "Lord Xiao misunderstood, the waterways around Shanmaxi are complicated, if we insist on a strong attack, our army may suffer heavy losses, if so, are we asking for trouble? The general thinks that a strong attack is not as good as wisdom. Take it. Please see, the Strait of Malacca is extremely long and narrow, and there are three key points in it. As long as two of them can be defended, the English fleet can be prevented from escaping. Once Malacca and Klang fall into our hands, the main force of the English fleet will not Going back through the Strait of Malacca is probably very difficult. Even if you barely break through the blockade of artillery fire, the loss will not be too small. If our army takes Malacca and Klang, the main fleet of the whole army will be blocked in Tanmei At that time, the English fleet will not come out for a decisive battle with our army.”

"Nonsense." Xiao Sanlang snorted coldly and said, "The two ports of Malacca and Klang are behind Danmasek. If you want to take those two ports, you have to pass through Danmasek. Could it be that our fleet can still Grow wings and fly over? Haha, it's so funny!" The generals of the Second Squadron suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of ridicule.

"Our fleet cannot fly there, but our amphibious troops can fly over. As long as Malacca can be taken, it doesn't matter if Klang is not taken!" Liu Ninghai picked up a thin wooden stick for command, Pointing to the huge combat model on the ground, he said: "Look, my lords, this is Kota Ding, and there is no Dutch army except for some local aborigines. Our army only needs to land on the beach from here and walk along the coastline. In less than [-] kilometers, you can reach Johor Bahru, a small town opposite Danmasek. After taking Johor Bahru, our army can divide a part of our troops to garrison here to prevent the English army from cutting our way back, because this place is Danmasek. Behind the tin port, there are no English forts, and the water is not too deep, so big ships cannot walk. There are only a few cruisers and other small ships in the English fleet that can attack our army through the shallow strait, as long as our garrison can grit their teeth and persist. However, the main force of our amphibious force can rush all the way to Malacca along the road from Johor Bahru to Malacca. With the cooperation of the local shadows, they can take Malacca in one fell swoop and completely cut off the return route of the English fleet. At that time, why worry that the main fleet of England will not come out to fight with our army!"

Liu Ninghai's generous statement immediately attracted the attention of many generals, and all of them stared at the long and narrow terrain of the Mara Peninsula.This set of tactics is not surprising, it is just a replica of the Battle of Nagasaki back then. It is also about stroking the enemy's back and breaking the enemy's way back. All the generals present have participated in the Nagasaki Naval Battle, so they naturally understand this. Waiting for the meaning of the tactics, the big guys immediately started discussing and praised, but the commander of the third squadron, Suo Longso, raised a question: "Master Liu, your idea is certainly good, and the surprise attack on Brother Ding is certainly a good idea." Yes, there is no problem, but the problem is that the road from Kota Ting to Johor Bahru is full of forests and cliffs. There is no connected road marked on this chart. The intention is exposed, and the amphibious troops may be trapped in Kota Ting because of this, has Master Liu ever considered this?"

"This..." Liu Haining, who was so happy, was stunned for a moment. Looking at the combat model on the ground, he couldn't speak embarrassingly. After a long while, he said with a wry smile: "Perhaps there is a small road that can lead to Xinshan. .”

Xiao Sanlang immediately sneered when he heard the words: "Perhaps? Can we use "maybe" to command the war? This may be "maybe" or "maybe"? The trapping of the amphibious force is still a trivial matter. If the main fleet of England escapes, who should be responsible for it? bear?"

"Yeah, it's a pity that a good idea."

"Yes, sorry!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

... The general looked at the terrain all the way, and was immediately a little discouraged.Yun Yu frowned and looked at He Zhen and said, "Master He, does the shadow under your command understand the roads around Kota Ting?"

"My lord, I don't have such news in my hands. If necessary, I can contact Shadow Three immediately. Well, it may take a few days to get a reply." He Zhen replied with a bow.

Yunyu smiled bitterly and said: "How many days? I am afraid that I don't have many days to wait. There are still three days' sea journey from here to Shanmaxi. The monsoon is about to change. I really can't delay it. That's good." Yes, Mr. He immediately let the pigeons fly, report as soon as there is news, and at the same time let the shadow immediately dispatch to enter the combat state, if there is a way in Kota Ting, let the shadow immediately send people to Kota Ting while replying to the letter, waiting for the arrival of our army arrival."

"Yes, my subordinate obeys orders!" He Zhen naturally understood the importance of this move, and immediately rushed out of the war room and began to arrange related matters.

Seeing that the generals were still discussing Liu Ninghai's plan, Yunyu couldn't help but raise his face, and said in a calm voice, "What? After Zhang Butcher died, did he just eat mixed-haired pigs? Hmm? Don't tell Ben Wang that Er waited from the Naval Academy. I’ve only learned so much, let’s talk about it, what other good ideas do you have?”

Suo Longso, the commander of the third squadron, considered his tone and said, "My lord, if you attack by force, you can't even outwit it. I think you can consider a surprise attack."

"Surprise attack? What's the attack method? Let's talk about it." Yunyu frowned and asked in a flat tone.

Suo Longso replied respectfully: "My lord, the English instructor brought by the lord last year once said that there is a tactic of attacking ships with fire. Now it is a westward monsoon in Danmasek. If our army enters from the waters of Temeran Island , if you head towards Danmaxi, it happens to be westward. If you can take advantage of the night to advance at full speed, you can set off at unitary time, and you can reach the waters near Danmaxi in ugly time. If you can get the help of shadows familiar with the local water patterns, you can use a small amount The fleet bypassed the complicated waterways and quietly approached Danmasek Port, and then set fire to the embankment of several logistics supply ships full of fodder, and released them along the wind, and they would surely rush into the anchorage of the English fleet. If the fleet is in the port, it will be doomed. When the remnants of the English fleet try to rush out of the fire, our squadron will definitely take advantage of the chaos and kill them. There is no problem, as long as the amphibious force can take down one or two forts, our army will be able to win the battle."

"Sir Suo's words are indeed wonderful, but the general has one thing that is unclear: as long as our army passes through the waters of Huangyan Island, there will be a route where merchant ships frequently come and go, and there will be no concealment at all for our army's actions. Even if all the merchant ships along the route are seized, the residents on those islands cannot be fooled. If it happens that they also have means of communication such as flying pigeons, every move of our army will be exposed under the eyes of the enemy. How can we make a surprise attack? Enemy fleet?" Chen Chengwen, chief of staff of the First Squadron, unceremoniously pointed out the loopholes in Suo Longso's strategy, and Suo Longso was at a loss for words, and all the generals present fell into deep thought...
