Ming politicians

When Su Tiancheng returned to Dengzhou Prefecture, everyone had already gathered in the Governor's Mansion. These people included Zuo Fudu, Commander Du Tongzhi of the Jiangning Camp, Navy Commander Sun Chuanting, Zuo Fudu, and Jiangning Yingdu. Bi Maokang, the commander of the Tongzhi, the imperial envoy of the left deputy, the commander of the Jiangning battalion, Tongzhi, Xiong Zijian, the general officer of Weihaiwei, the imperial envoy of the right deputy, the commander of the Jiangning battalion, Tongzhi Qu Qingze, the imperial envoy of Zuoqian, the commander of the Jiangning battalion Qianshi, Dengzhou Guard Commander Luo Chang, Zuoqiandu Imperial Envoy, Jiangning Battalion Commander Qianshi, Scout Battalion Commander Liu Tiehan, Youqiandu Imperial Envoy, Shenji Yingwei Commander Di Huaixiang, Infantry Battalion He Renlong, Commander of the Guards, Ma Xianglin, Commander of the Vanguard Battalion and Guards, and Wu Sangui, Commander-in-Chief of Shanhaiguan.

Deng Hui, the prefect of Dengzhou, and Liu Chongsan, the same prefect, also waited at the prefect's yamen and did not go out.

The Governor's Mansion is already heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and Penglai City has become a forbidden area.

This is an atmosphere before the Great War, but Dengzhou Prefecture has not been affected. The streets are still bustling with people, more lively than usual. Spring Festival, the day of family reunion, many farmers have made money this year, and they are living a better life, so they should celebrate it.

When Su Tiancheng returned to the Governor's Mansion, he didn't have time to wash up, so he went directly to the wing. [

Qu Qingze had already informed everyone to come to the wing room. When everyone entered the wing room, Su Tiancheng was concentrating on reading the information on the table. While looking at the information, he was facing the sand table in the middle of the wing room and the map hanging on the wall.

After everyone entered the room, they didn't speak, and stood silently. Everyone knew very well that at this time.Su Tiancheng is thinking seriously, the navy's battle plan and the cavalry's battle plan are all in Su Tiancheng's hands, although Su Tiancheng is already familiar with these battle plans.But to really start to act, you still need to think carefully and make a final decision.

Half an hour passed, Su Tiancheng seemed to be an old monk in meditation, he didn't speak all the time, he kept one movement for a long time.Bending down, looking carefully at the sand table.

Finally, Su Tiancheng straightened his waist.

"Come here, all of you."

A simple sentence made everyone nervous. They knew that this sentence meant something.Su Tiancheng made the final decision, the battle is imminent, and Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou will all run at full speed to serve this battle.This is a comprehensive assessment, examining the construction of the three places over the past year.

"All of you will participate in this battle. The relevant deployment has already been implemented and will not be modified today, but you must remember that this is a crucial battle. It is related to Dengzhou, For the development of Laizhou and Qingzhou, if we fail to achieve a complete victory, we will face greater difficulties in the future, and even fall into a difficult situation. So, you all have to do your best."

"Information shows that Zheng Zhilong is very arrogant. He didn't pay attention to us. Three hundred warships followed the scheduled route. Starting from Quanzhou, Fujian, they passed the South China Sea and the East China Sea, and were about to enter the Yellow Sea. Three hundred warships, The momentum is not small, and the impact is also great. I believe that the news of Zheng Zhilong's attack on Weihaiwei has already spread. As of now, the court still has no response, and the emperor has not issued an imperial edict. It can be seen that everything depends on ourselves. "

"For our Jiangning battalion, this is the best news. The court has no opinion, and the emperor has no imperial decree, so we can use it. I can confidently say that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning battalion is stronger than that of Zheng Zhilong's navy, The cavalry and infantry are a hundred times stronger, I hope you will also have such confidence and put yourself into battle."

"First of all, looking at the situation from Quanzhou, Zheng Zhilong is not at all on guard. Quanzhou City is immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Judging from the latest information, Zheng Zhilong encouraged the local area to form a lot of dragon and lion dance teams, ready to live well It's a lively Spring Festival, I'm afraid Zheng Zhilong thinks that he will get more good news this Spring Festival, so we will make it happen for him."

"In Quanzhou, there is no security at all. During the Spring Festival, it is also the time when the security is the most relaxed. Launching an attack at this time can achieve unexpected results. Zheng Zhilong would never have imagined that we will also be two-pronged, and we will not be far away. , go directly to Quanzhou, and pull out his lair."

"Xiong Zijian, He Renlong, you must act strictly according to the plan. It is very difficult to keep such a large-scale operation completely secret, but you must do it. The Jiangning Battalion can complete the impossible task. Rest, march after dark, don't enter the city, try not to take the official road if you can, you must launch an attack on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are still ten days, from here to Quanzhou, the road is long, you have to overcome Unforeseen difficulties, I believe that you will be able to complete the task. Here, I emphasize again, do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, two people must be captured alive, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, no matter how much they resist, they cannot be killed. Capture them alive, let alone let them escape."

"The merchants who lead you the way, you must treat them kindly. Merchants are not sergeants, and their personal physical strength must be weaker. Therefore, you must take good care of the places that should be taken care of. Whether you can launch an attack smoothly, the role of a guide is Critical."

"The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion are used to long-distance raids. Even though they have come to Shandong, they still have a lot of training every day. Therefore, I don't have much worry about cavalry attacking, and I don't need to emphasize it."

"Xiong Zijian, you are calm and able to judge the situation. I don't have much to ask. This time you are the commander-in-chief, but you used to be mainly responsible for the logistics support of the Jiangning Battalion. This is the first time you have led an army on a long-distance raid and encountered difficulties. , don’t worry, you can always think of a way.”

"He Renlong, I still say the same thing. Personal heroism is necessary, but as the commander of the army, you can't give full play to your personal heroism. You must overcome it. Everything is based on the overall situation. Over the years, you have basically overcome this. There are still some problems, but it is still revealed, this time the matter is of great importance, we must obey the command."

"You set off at the right time, and you must win a complete victory."

Xiong Zijian and He Renlong respectfully saluted Su Tiancheng, left the Governor's Mansion without looking back, and rushed to the barracks. The soldiers were already waiting in the barracks, and everything had been prepared long ago.

"This is the first battle of the navy. Zheng Zhilong's navy has been on the sea for many years and has a wealth of experience. We must not underestimate it. The advantages we have are clear. Huge warships and patrol boats, sufficient Artillery, all of these are not owned by Zheng Zhilong's navy. In terms of firepower, we have an absolute advantage. At the same time, Zheng Zhilong's arrogance is also our best opportunity. We can surprise us. We know the situation of Zheng Zhilong's navy Yes, but as soon as the other party knows about our situation, this is our greatest advantage.”[

"Battle at sea is different from that on land. You can escape everywhere. If you fail, you will be buried in the sea. There is almost no other way out. Facing Zheng Zhilong's [-] warships, we can only protect ourselves if we win. I don't want to Say more, you are all clear."

"The Navy currently has eight warship formations, the Penglai Warship Formation, the Yantai Warship Formation, the Weihai Warship Formation, the Dengzhou Warship Formation, and the Laizhou Warship Formation. To participate in this naval battle, the Qingzhou Warship Formation, Pingdu The warship formation and the Wendeng warship formation are stationed, among which the Qingzhou warship formation is stationed in Penglai City, the Pingdu warship formation is stationed in Yantai, and the Wendeng warship formation is stationed in Weihaiwei. and the safety of Qingzhou."

"The place we chose for the decisive battle is Pingshan Island. Once Zheng Zhilong's warship enters Pingshan Island, it will also enter the area under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. Choosing to fight here is also telling Zheng Zhilong that he invaded our waters. Not far from the island, there is Dashan Island. If Zheng Zhilong’s warship suffered a disastrous defeat, he would definitely choose to retreat to Dashan Island.

"Zheng Zhilong's [-]-ship fleet is commanded by Zheng Hongkui. Everyone knows this man. He is young and energetic. He is Zheng Zhilong's younger brother. He has been fighting with Zheng Zhilong at sea for many years and has certain experience, so you should not underestimate him. "

"Zheng Zhilong's warship formation has already set off from Quanzhou, Fujian. Our warship formation will set off today and arrive at Pingshan Island ahead of schedule. We will wait here. According to our estimate, the naval battle will start on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. "

"The [-] sailors who participated in the battle cannot be reunited with their families this Spring Festival. In terms of logistics, we must make sufficient guarantees. We will celebrate the Spring Festival at sea together and use up our victories to celebrate this Spring Festival."

"Deng Hui, Liu Chongsan, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and the people in Dengzhou cannot be affected. As for Laizhou and Qingzhou, I will tell Lan Qiaozheng and Liu Yunqing respectively that the people must have a good New Year. It has been a year of hard work, okay? It is easy to look forward to the coming of the Spring Festival, and the common people need to take a good rest. The army's battles should not involve the common people too much, unless it is a battle about life and death. , let alone increase the burden on the common people in the name of war, to achieve this, we need to persist together, you are local officials, you must persist even more, sometimes when soldiers do something wrong, you have to speak up boldly.”

The people in the wing room left quickly, only Wang Dazhi was still standing beside him.

Su Tiancheng went straight to the backyard, looking forward to the Spring Festival with great difficulty, but it's a pity that he can't be with his family anymore, but Zhu Shenxin, who is far away in the capital, should feel the same at this time.
