Wang Lanling is indeed going to do it, but the target is not Shanzhou Mu.

At the beginning, the idea was indeed Shanzhou, and Wang Lanling relaxed the vigilance of Shanzhou through public opinion and the strategy of approaching but not fighting.

The form of the battlefield is placed there, and unless Wang Lanling has a broken brain, it is impossible to attack Shanzhou.

The terrain of Shanzhou determined that it was not advisable to attack strongly, and if it was possible to sneak attack Shanzhou through the route of Shazhou, then Muzhou would have been defeated long ago.

It's not just the desert terrain that's limiting.

The reason why the land where Muzhou Mansion is located is a land of four wars is because there is no dangerous terrain to defend.

A place that is easy to fight is naturally frequented by people.

Shanzhou is first of all the people's strong customs, Wang Lanling is in the spring past, has been stalemate until the summer.

There are many reasons not to fight, and there are many reasons why Wang Lanling does not want to fight.

If you do, the loss will be very large.

First of all, there are many desolate mountains in the border area of Shanzhou, how can tens of thousands of people go in and fight? How to arm?

Secondly, Wang Lanling's subordinates are basically not familiar with mountain warfare, and the power of artillery and heavy machine guns in the mountains will be greatly reduced.

The acceptance of Wang Lanling in Shanzhou is not high, and the main force of Wang Lanling is Muzhou, so in the case of defending the homeland, the situation will be very difficult.

Wang Lanling does not think that his influence can be spread to every ravine village and town in this world where there is no broadcasting.

Shanzhou Mu's ability to lead troops and firearms reserves are also not small, especially Shanzhou is still the basic plate he has been operating for many years, and Wang Lanling's firepower is not comparable to this famous general of the Jiang family.

Especially after suffering a loss last time, Wang Lanling was really not sure to force this person's troops out of the mountains.

The border mountains of Shanzhou are very wide, and whether the Shanzhou army chooses to sneak attack or defend, Wang Lanling will be very troublesome.

Once the hatred is established, there will be no peace in the future.

The official truce does not mean that the people of the people will cease the war.

Shoushan County was established to improve the problems of Shanzhou and Muzhou, and at the same time to maintain the trade routes in the western region.

With Shoushan County as the center, he spread his thoughts and influence.

The military is for political service, and Wang Lanling's demand for rectification was half completed after the establishment of Shoushan County, and now this relatively peaceful western region itself is the situation he expected.

If trade and exchanges can be carried out in the next year or two, then Wang Lanling's action can be regarded as a success.

It is not a war for the sake of fighting a war, it is an important way to accomplish a goal.

In order for Wang Lanling to get the empire to agree to do business, he really needs to fight, and he needs a decisive battle that the Manchu civil and military forces of the empire do not want to continue fighting.

Battleship!

After several years of development, Wang Lanling continued to steal the empire's shipbuilding technology, and spent a lot of money to visit the navy of Shanzhou and Haizhou, and a group of people who understood the imperial navy technology also gathered in Lanling County.

The empire's navy could be used to transport vegetables, coal, and wood for Wang Lanling, and the money could be used to buy the usual training schedule and the number of artillery.

Even the artillery ammunition on the steam ship in Lanzhou can be bought by Wang Lanling.

The daily consumption of the Navy is much more powerful than that of the Army, not only for fuel money, but also for various reasons such as water leakage in the cabin to explain some of the missing materials.

It was not only Wang Lanling who did this, but before Wang Lanling, the navy of Lanzhou was an important source of weapons for coastal merchant ships.

The merchants did not have the basic plate of Wang Lanling to make gunpowder and ironware, let alone all kinds of exquisite and leading technology.

The guns on their ships were bought from regular sources by irregular means.

Wang Lanling did not understand the navy, so he provided strategic arrangements, and after specifying a few goals that must be completed, he handed over the decision-making power and command to those naval generals.

After the management system is arranged, there is actually nothing to do with Wang Lanling, even if he goes to the fleet to supervise the battle, it will cause trouble for everyone.

May 26, 13 A.D

In the open sea area of Shanzhou, a fleet of twenty ships is slowly heading in the direction of Shanhai County.

May 27 at nine a.m.

In a canyon near the sea in Shanhai County, huge white ships drifted out of the waterway.

It's a natural haven with a huge empty stomach hidden in a small opening.

After being discovered by scouts who surveyed the terrain of the sea, it became a naval base in paradise.

This is the navy that Wang Lanling spent a lot of money to raise, and there are two commanders, one is one and one is the other.

The positive is the sea and the sky, and the deputy is a man named Goose Lipa.

Goose Lipa is a person recruited by Wang Lanling from overseas, he is in his forties this year, and he used to be the owner of an island, and he has hundreds of people under him.

In addition to fishing and farming, these people also work part-time as regular petty traders.

After Wang Lanling's rebellion, many overseas people gathered one after another, and these people were all pioneers who were fooled out by the Jiang family's sea of stars.

Inflation, deflation.

People who used to leave the mainland to explore and develop overseas have come back all these years.

Eli Pa is very grateful to Wang Lanling, not only because Wang Lanling accepted them, but also because Wang Lanling treated them equally.

They were not treated as dogs, they were not sent to death, and they were not enslaved or despised for them.

The big man who can do these things is basically only Wang Lanling alone.

This is also the reason why Wang Lanling's subordinates quickly gathered a large number of talents.

The reconnaissance submarine had already passed the report, and when the Lanzhou Navy arrived at the ambush point, the intensive artillery fire knocked the Lanzhou Navy, which was eating on time at 12 o'clock, out of the ship's restaurant.

A big war soon ended.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the communications soldiers of Lanling County found Wang Lanling with an excited face.

"Report to the county magistrate! The commander-in-chief of the naval force, Hai Kuotian, sent a battle report, and our army successfully blocked the Shanzhou fleet in the waters of Shanhai County and won the victory! ”

"The number of enemy troops is twenty, seventeen are sunk, including eight frigates and two energy ships, seven steam armored ships."

"The enemy flagship surrendered while being surrounded, and two other ships ran aground as they entered the ambush point."

Wang Lanling was playing chess with Di Qiusi to kill time, and after finally waiting for the battle report, he nodded.

"Okay, send someone to tell the newspaper the news, and order the artillery units of Linshan County to start assembling, and the engineering units will quickly set up fortifications on the defensive line."

"Let Linshan County transfer grain, grass and vegetables over, and the investigators will also be vigilant."

The communications officer placed the report on the table, saluted, and said, "Yes! ”

Wang Lanling nodded, and picked up the report after the signal soldier left.

The intelligence on the side of the Lanzhou Navy has long been inquired about clearly.

Unlike modern naval warfare, the navy of the current era is mainly developed on guns and protective plates.

The most artillery was the lead ship, while the outermost were frigates with very thick shields.

When a fight breaks out, the frigates in front are responsible for blocking bullets and artillery, and the main fleet with more and better guns fires parabolic shells in the back.

The hit rate is very touching, and it goes with the flow.

Wang Lanling was different, he didn't have the technology to build torpedoes and more powerful artillery, and he didn't have enough money to build more fleets, so he built more economical mines.

Low price, great power, easy to deploy, difficult to detect and clean, and flexible, even modern warfare often gives some surprises, sometimes better than the fleet's record.

There were some losses here, but compared to the results of this battle, it can be said to be a very brilliant victory.

In the three-way battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the Shanzhou Army is the weakest, the Shanzhou Army is the strongest, and the Yanshan County side is uncertain.

Wang Lanling thought about the possibility of taking the initiative to attack over there, and he was now planning to scare that side and avoid a follow-up war.

It doesn't matter if Yanshan County comes, it's the same whether you come or not, Wang Lanling's main concern is Shanzhou.

Will Shanzhou Shepherd play out?

Wang Lanling thought about this possibility, but felt that it would not.

That person is too stable, and he won't fight if he can't beat him.

Before this person met Wang Lanling, he was like a fire, and he always took the initiative to attack and fight with all his might.

After meeting Wang Lanling, he was as steady as a mountain, and if he could not fight, he would not fight, and he would look forward and backward.

The last time we fought, Wang Lanling died a lot of people before he tricked this person out, and this time Wang Lanling felt that even if he retired from the army, this person would not come out.

The people of the newspaper office quickly worked overtime to write the manuscript, and the printing house also worked overtime temporarily, and the news of the defeat of the Lanzhou Navy was smoothly told to everyone who ordered the newspaper the next day.

"The ferocious aggressors were defeated by the heroic people's navy led by Wang Lanling!"

"Jiang Honghe, who did a lot of evil, corrupted and exploited the people, was captured in the self-defense counterattack in Shanhai County, and surrendered to the righteous people's army with a white flag!"

"Long live the people of Shanhai County! Long live the Army and Navy Athletes! Long live Wang Lanling! ”

In fact, Jiang Honghe didn't mean to fight, he just dragged on for a few months, wanting to come out and blow the wind and make a bright appearance, so as to tell others who he was.

I just wanted to paddle in Shanhai County for a while and go back, after all, the emperor above wanted him to share the pressure on the front line, let him attack Shanhai County from sea and land, and involve more troops of Wang Lanling.

It's okay now, it really involves a lot of people.
