Early the next morning, all the commanders of the ships of the Punishment Fleet gathered again in the Grand Conference Hall to accept the next stage of combat mission.

"Stand upright!" The officer on duty shouted, and all the police officers stood upright and saluted Zhao Gongzi, who strode in.

Wang Rulong, who was following behind Zhao Hao, had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and at a glance, he knew that he had stayed up all night. There's no way, who made Omura surrender too quickly, and the plan he just made would be useless.

He had to stay up all night with his staff officers, and in the morning, at the risk of waking up Gongzi Chunmeng, he sent the plan to Zhao Hao for a look, so that the scheduled combat meeting was not delayed.

"Take a break!" Zhao Hao didn't go directly to the window to sit down this time, but stood on the podium and said to the generals: "Many people were present yesterday, see how ghostly those Japanese are, right?" ”

"yes, it's too similar, and if you can't get it right, you'll let them fool you." The police officers who set up a field here last night all thought deeply and said: "My conscience is greatly broken. ”

"Although the people of the Li Dynasty are also ghosts, they don't dare to betray us, at most they are greedy and greedy. But these Japanese people are different, they are like wolves, and if they can't get it, they will let them bite. Ma Yinglong concluded.

"Is there a difference between a dog and a wolf? That's pretty much it. Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh, and then said to the generals: "But we have to deal with the Japanese." The economic take-off of the Ming Dynasty needs to be supported by sufficient precious metals, otherwise there will be serious deflation, which will lead to the bankruptcy of a large number of farmers......"

He suddenly realized that these warriors were afraid that they couldn't understand the logic in this, so he said bluntly: "In short, the Ming Dynasty lacks gold, silver, and copper, and needs Japan's precious metals to replenish it." In addition, since this country was lucky enough to resist Meng Yuan's two attacks, it has begun to drift, and I don't know what my surname is. So we also need to tame them again and let them fall into the system of the Great Tomorrow, otherwise it will always be a big problem! ”

"Yes!" The generals responded.

"So guys, we're going to move on to the next phase of the operation, which I'll call 'Operation Dog Fighting.'" After speaking, he gave up the podium and said, "Next, please ask Commander-in-Chief Wang to release a specific task!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Rulong walked up to the stage with his legs together, and unfolded the cowhide folder in his hand and said:

"According to Childe's instructions, the main goal of this stage of the operation is to obtain absolute sea control over Kyushu Island, establish absolute deterrence against all forces in Kyushu, and lay a solid foundation for the final stage of the decisive battle plan!"

"The ships used in this dog-fighting operation are all the punishment fleets except for the 201, 217, 218, 219, and 220 ships, 411, 412, 413, 414, and 415 ships, as well as five supply ships."

"Why?" Haierdi couldn't help but blurt out. The captains who were excluded also chimed in.

Wang Rulong glanced at them coldly, and Haierdi and the others didn't dare to make a sound.

This is the reason why Zhao Hao can only let Wang Rulong concurrently serve as the chief of staff first, if someone else is replaced to formulate the battle plan, it is estimated that every combat meeting will become a tearing Boyi conference.

Then Wang Rulong ordered to himself: "The rest of the fleet is divided into two, and the first fleet is led by me, and it will go south to sweep all the ports of Minami Kyushu, and after eliminating the Shimazu family's Fangzu Navy and other water forces, force Tanegashima to submit to Childe." ”

"The second squadron was led by Commissar Ma to fight northward, first clearing out all ships in the Sasebo harbor, and then continuing north to Hiradoura, where it launched a punitive campaign against the Matsuura family...... According to the information provided by the Tang people, the vitality of the Matsuura Navy is currently greatly damaged, but the main force of the Iki Navy is still alive. There is also the Tsushima army of the Zong family, although they have been seeking peace, they must also be resolutely eliminated. ”

His majestic gaze swept over the generals and said, "In a word, after this 'dog fighting operation', except for the naval forces of the Maori family and the Otomo family, the water forces in the entire Kyushu Island must be eliminated, and the coastal forces will be subdued as much as possible to force them to accept our protection." ”

After a pause, Wang Rulong laughed and said: "Of course, the protection fee is indispensable!" ”

"Yes!" The generals responded violently, one by one, like prostitutes who were about to visit the kiln, their eyes glowing green.

Then Wang Rulong divided the two detachments into groups and issued specific combat tasks and time limits. He asked Ma Rulong on the side: "What does Commissioner Ma have to add?" ”

"According to the intelligence, the strength of the naval forces of the various countries on Kyushu Island is just like that, as long as we give full play to our firepower superiority, we can destroy their naval forces with very few casualties, so that the various forces will regard the sea as a daunting path!" Ma Rulong said in a deep voice:

"But don't take the enemy lightly! To use an inappropriate analogy, back then, the Franc machine and man ship were strong and sharp, and the advantage over the Ming Dynasty was also great. However, our army still relied on the right time, place and people, and defeated the Franc Expeditionary Fleet in the Battle of Tuen Mun and the Battle of Sai Cao Wan, so that they did not dare to fight the idea of the Ming Dynasty until now. It can be seen that weapon superiority is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat! ”

"We originally only had 50 boats and more than 3,000 people, but this time we divided our troops into three routes. Each fleet has only a dozen ships and a thousand people, and the strength is even weaker. Those Japanese daimyo and minami have fought for several lifetimes, and they are as cunning and ferocious as wolves, as long as we show our flaws, they will definitely bite them hard! We can't afford to lose, and we don't need to lose troops. ”

As he spoke, he ordered all the police officers in a deep voice: "Therefore, you must tighten the three strings in your minds, and you must not land and fight without authorization. Second, it is necessary to keep a safe distance from enemy ships at all times, and third, it is necessary to avoid night battles and downwind battles. If any of these three situations occur, you must alert your partner immediately! If necessary, you can use the emergency veto power granted to you by Childe! ”

"Yes!" The police officers held their heads high.

The so-called 'emergency veto' is the most important power that Zhao Hao has granted to police officers, and it is also where they have the confidence to compete with military officers.

Of course, the conditions for using this authority are very demanding. It must be satisfied at the same time, one, in wartime or at a critical juncture of survival. Second, the military commander clearly violated the orders of his superiors or committed acts of rebellion. Third, it is indeed impossible to report to the superior in a timely manner.

Without any of these conditions, this permission cannot be used. In addition, after the use of the 'emergency veto', it must be subject to strict scrutiny by the garrison to prevent the abuse of this power, resulting in the police chief overriding the military commander and turning into a cancer such as the military superintendent.

"Did you hear that? You must respect your partner, if anyone forces others to make a trick, Lao Tzu will not spare you! Wang Rulong blew his beard and glared at the military commanders.

"Yes!" The captains, captains, and captains responded in unison.

"Any questions?" Wang Rulong's spatular-like gaze swept over everyone, and no one dared to say anything. Even the people who didn't receive the task didn't dare to talk more, for fear of being punished.

"Fuck Brother Haier, do you know what you're going to do?" Wang Rulong glared at the hapless Haierdi.

"No, I don't know, please instruct the commander-in-chief!" If you don't speak, you can't escape the sprayed Haierdi, and she said with a sad face.

"You have more important tasks." Wang Rulong said in a deep voice: "You will form a third fleet, which will be responsible for bringing the three ships of the Franc machine back to the base." This is related to the future of our coast guard, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Yes!" Haierdi and the others hurriedly received the order in a deep voice.

"You will be the commander of this detachment, and Merlin will be the police commissioner." Wang Rulong then ordered: "You have three tasks, first, escort the Western ships, the loot, and the reward of the Omura family back to Chengshan Port. Second, when passing by Jiangchuan City, it was prudent to carry out a landing search to see if he could find the Yujiujia Silver Cellar mentioned by the Tang people. 3. After completing the escort mission, immediately return home with ammunition supplies. Ten days later, on the first day of October, we joined forces with the 2nd Fleet in Sasebo Bay, and then went south to Tanegashima to join forces with us! ”

"Yes!" All the generals followed the two chief officers to salute Zhao Gongzi: "Swear to die!" ”

Zhao Hao also returned the salute: "I wish you victory!" ”

~~

After the order was given, the ships began to move separately.

On the same day, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons completed preparations for departure...... The main thing is that fresh fresh water has been replaced, and fresh vegetables and eggs have been replenished. The number of people in the fleet is small, and the Omura family can still cope with it with all their might.

Unfortunately, Omura's family did not provide any fresh meat, which made the quartermaster very annoyed, thinking that Xiaofang was perfunctory. Xiao Fang Feng called out the Heavenly Qu, saying that he was completely serving the Heavenly Army with the attitude of worshiping the gods, how dare he be perfunctory?

"Then why is there no meat? Even if you don't have beef and mutton, you have to have a few pigs, right? The quartermaster said angrily, in his opinion, the labor army without fat pigs is absolutely insincere.

Xiao Fang hurriedly explained that there is not a single domestic pig in Japan, only wild boars. There were no domestic sheep, and the cattle were used to make leather armor except for ploughing, and only the untouchables who were responsible for killing cattle and making skins would eat that filthy thing. How dare you send a four-legged animal carcass to the Heavenly Army?

Hundreds of years ago, the emperor issued a 'ban on meat', declaring that according to Buddhism, what you eat becomes what you eat, and eating meat will fall into the way of animals, so everyone is not allowed to eat the meat of four-legged animals.

Later, due to the prevalence of Shintoism, it was believed that the act of eating corpses was filthy, and the act of eating meat was basically completely prohibited. Even though it was the Warring States period, the common people could not eat, and the daimyo turned a blind eye to their prey stealing, but the act of raising carnivores would never happen in Japan.

The quartermaster had no choice but to ask Xiao Fang to send all the chickens, regardless of male and female, to the soldiers and give them a tooth sacrifice, and then he gave up.

Oh yes, among the rewards sent by Xiao Fang, there are also a group of young Dongying women. This made the coast guards, who had not known the taste of meat for months, very excited, but unfortunately the military discipline was strict, and the police officers were not allowed to prostitute themselves on the ship, so they could only refuse at all times......
