"My lord! The enemy is coming at us! ”

"My lord! Our ship was sunk! ”

"My lord! Two more ships were sunk by the Shanzhou ship! ”

"My lord! The firepower of the tin boat is too strong, we can't do it! ”

"My lord! Our fleet was crushed! ”

"Your Excellency...... The Lanzhou army ran south...... Didn't look back......"

"My lord! The Navy seems to be ...... Ran away? ”

"My lord, we captured a ship, or is it new!"

Wang Lanling watched the naval battle in the storm on the beach, and he couldn't understand it.

Just like the waves under a storm, Wang Lanling looked confused.

Why did the navy run in Shanzhou?

Even if you want to run, you have to run to Shanzhou in the north, what are you running to them?

Wang Lanling also thought that the Danzhou Navy wanted to break through the defenses of Giant Whale Island, take shelter from the storm in Giant Whale Island, or directly occupy this port.

But the situation is completely different, these people just knocked Wang Lanling's main force to the side, and then fled quickly!

"Send someone to follow in a small boat, and see if there is any support in the south place."

Wang Lanling thought of this possibility, so he did not let his guard down.

The next day, the spy replied that the people had really run away.

Not only that, but two iron frigates that were entering the water were also discovered, as if they were sunk by the Lanzhou army themselves.

Wang Lanling quickly sent people to rescue the ship, and quickly rescued the ship before it completely sank.

The average depth on this side of Whale Island is only five meters, which is not suitable for large ships and is not suitable for harbor.

However, it is very suitable for cultivating some aquatic products.

Thousands of people together were two tin boats, and not far from the shore there was a well-kept steamer that was lucky enough to be captured.

There were seven artillery pieces on board, as well as a crew of more than a hundred and five cadres.

There have always been very few people who would rather die than give in, and Wang Lanling has never killed prisoners, so they all surrendered with the knowledge of current affairs.

Wang Lanling did not kill their entire family, nor invaded their homeland, nor harmed the interests of these people, and since ancient times, it is normal to surrender, and it is rare to be recorded that it is rare to die rather than give in.

If you are a high-ranking cadre, it is difficult to surrender, and these people have to think about their families even if they don't think about themselves.

But the middle and lower classes don't have so many concerns, and no one wants to die.

Wang Lanling didn't expect this battle to be like this, and he was very satisfied with the actions of Haikuotian and Giant Whale Island.

At the salt drying field in Yan Village, Wang Lanling called all the generals and officials of Giant Whale Island over and held a meeting.

"Trust is mutual, this time you can follow my command, bravely attack, and achieve such great results, I can rest assured that I will hand over this place to you guards in the future."

Hai Kuotian quickly said: "It is the county magistrate that you command well, we heard that you defeated the 200,000 army of Shanzhou Mu, and the morale of the whole army has been inspired!" ”

Zhu Wenyang said: "Who can live a good life with you, everyone knows that there is too much difference between the Giant Whale Island and the Shanzhou side, if you don't follow the adults and you, it will only get worse and worse." ”

This time it was indeed more and less, with hundreds of dead here and dozens of casualties there.

But the results are heavy, and everyone knows that this is a victory!

This includes not only Wang Lanling's side, but also the empire's side.

All this time, the Imperial Navy did not have a good record.

The empire mainly relied on infantry and cavalry to maintain law and order and to fight large and small campaigns.

All kinds of things, so that the empire does not expect the navy to do anything, and does not expect much.

And this time, Wang Lanling, who defeated hundreds of thousands of elites of the empire, was slightly inferior to these two thousand people, and it has to be said that it is an extremely rare victory for the empire since Wang Lanling's rebellion!

Both parties are satisfied.

Wang Lanling's center of gravity is still on the side of Lanling County, and after taking a little look at the steam ships of this era, and ordering the people here to mine sand and transport stones to prepare for road construction, he returned to Lanling County.

There is too much time delayed back and forth, and Wang Lanling has already thought about the focus of the next work.

The first is to repair the roads and reduce the commuting time in Sanhae-gun.

The second is to lay telephone lines to improve one's control and command of the entire region.

Only after the communication technology is pointed out can we stabilize this vast territory.

Even if the empire stole this technology, Wang Lanling would do it.

There is also a radio station and a radio!

Cars also have to work harder, the current car will still break down frequently, the main means of transportation is actually horses.

The navy will also be upgraded, and overseas markets and trade will not be regulated by the empire, but strong force will be needed to escort the caravans.

There are so many things that need to be done, and Wang Lanling has to watch out for the third expedition of the empire.

At present, although the empire has failed twice, only Muzhou's side has been injured, and the losses of the Shanzhou army are not particularly large, and they will be relieved after a few years of cultivation.

There is no shortage of people in the empire.

After Wang Lanling returned to the county, he called people over for a meeting, and the first thing to discuss was security, and it was necessary to guard against the third attack of the empire.

Several soldiers quickly notified people from various departments to come over for a meeting.

Gong Yueman was handling government affairs in the office, and his subordinates and staff were in the room, all of whom had been selected from the intellectuals who had taken refuge in the past two years.

"Sir, the county magistrate convenes a meeting."

The messenger walked in and told Gong Yueman about the meeting.

Gong Yueman raised his head, he was also familiar with this person, so he naturally said: "The county magistrate is back, did it go well this time?" ”

The guard said, "It should be smooth, it looks like a big victory." ”

Gong Yueman also believed that after Wang Lanling passed, he would be able to solve the problem, just like why the Lanzhou Navy ran so fast.

This is prestige, the prestige of killing tens of thousands of people and winning consecutive battles!

"I'm going to go, by the way, what is this meeting about?"

Gong Yueman stood up and asked about the meeting in advance, so that he could be mentally prepared.

Because they are all their own people, and they are all ordinary people, they have not undergone professional training and education, so many people do not have a sense of confidentiality.

The guard said: "It's about security, and it's about discussing security." ”

Gong Yueman nodded, and quickly asked his subordinates to continue to do things, and went over to the meeting with a water cup and a pencil notebook.

Two of the people in the room who continued to mark and count the numbers quickly glanced at each other.

"I'll go to the toilet and squat for a while."

"I'm with me, too."

The two men soon walked out together.

Security issues can be big or small, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

"What to do? Is it exposed? ”

"It should be right, we can't continue to delay, we must quickly cut off the root of right and wrong!!"

"Now? Right here? ”

"When Wang Lanling comes out of the house, give him a shot directly!"

Since they got their pistols, martial arts masters like to snipe or shoot and kill people a few steps away, even if they have received an assassination order.

These killers are actually very receptive, as long as they can kill, there is no prejudice against martial arts or firearms.

On the other side, Wang Lanling held a meeting.

Before the meeting, the firearms were handed over to their respective subordinates or guards for safekeeping, and even Wang Lanling could not bring a gun into the venue.

"It's almost June now, and if it's a good year in Yunzhou and Shanzhou, then they will make time to deal with us."

"If there is a flood or tsunami, then the majesty of the empire must be maintained, and the local people will not be willing to send troops."

Wang Lanling thought about this matter carefully.

"The political situation in Yunzhou is turbulent, and I have learned some things from various sources before."

"Because of the frequent change of local chiefs, law and order have dropped significantly, and the maintenance of troops that need to be invested has also been greatly improved."

"So my main concern is the attack on the Lanzhou side, and there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Shanzhou."

Wang Lanling's main defense is Shanzhou, which has been played rotten by the locals and the imperial court itself.
