"Hmm. We still had the original plan, enter Zhaojia Port, and the barrel of the cannon is facing the city? ”

Mo Longxiang nodded and said, "The order from above, just do it." Did the fleet of the King of Chu leave? ”

"No, now the North Island is in a mess, and the report to the palace is that 3 of the 9 cities have been lost, in fact, 6 of the 9 cities have been lost, and the King of Chu has been thinking about the navy all these years, and the army is still a little worse. Lu Dake, the governor of North Island Province, transferred the city defense battalions of Fenling, Sizhou, and Christchurch to Zhaojia, which was equivalent to giving these three cities to the rebels empty-handed. Now these city defense battalions are gathered in Zhaojia, but Zhaojia's granary is in Christchurch, and the army of about 80,000 people has nothing to eat now, and they mutiniate at any time. The fleet of the king of Chu is now transporting grain to the North Island. ”

"Is there any mess in the South Island?" Mo Longxiang asked.

Li Liang said: "Qilin, the governor of South Island Province, has returned from Huadu, but it is not chaotic, after all, the situation in South Island is relatively simple, and there are few people. ”

"You inform Guangya, the marines will board the ship immediately, the troop transport fleet will set off with the fleet, the task will be arranged, and the Zhaojia military port will be occupied and defended as soon as possible!" Mo Longxiang said.

"Yes."

Mo Longxiang thought to himself: "I can use the Marine Corps of Guangya." ”

Because it was Qincha's ship, the boat went very fast, and in about a day, the lake boat entered the military port of the Central Fleet, and Li Guangya held a simple small ceremony in the military port, and King Hua also recognized it.

After getting on the flagship of the Central Fleet, the warship left the post, and King Hua was not idle, but after looking at the flagship from top to bottom, he said: "I'm tired." "I went to rest.

thought it would be dispersed like this, but Hua Tianxiong took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and pulled Mo Longxiang.

Mo Longxiang had never had any contact with Hua Tianxiong, so he first saluted and asked with a little respect: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, is there anything wrong with the arrangement?" ”

"I'm going to talk to you, do you have a safe place here?" Hua Tianxiong asked.

Mo Longxiang nodded, and both of them dispersed the people around them. After walking up and down the warship for a while, Mo Longxiang took Hua Tianxiong to his resting room.

The room is small enough to fit a bed, a cupboard and two small rattan chairs.

"The four walls here are thickened, so you can't hear from the outside, and this room is on the inside, the only drawback is that it's cramped." Mo Longxiang invited Hua Tianxiong to sit on the small sofa.

Hua Tianxiong ignored Mo Longxiang's words, but said directly: "Taifu said, I want to trust you." ”

Mo Longxiang nodded, knowing that Hua Tianxiong's next sentence was extremely important.

"I went this time, to put it bluntly, I was with King Hua. If I had been by King Hua's side, I would have been very constrained, so I planned to get off the boat and go to Ma Chongshan to rectify government affairs and transfer materials. I don't get involved in foreign affairs, you take care of it. ”

Mo Longxiang said: "Taifu and I have talked about this, but what the imperial court gave me was an escort mission, not a foreign affairs activity. ”

"I'll give it to you, and I'll talk to King Hua tomorrow. Next, I'm going to tell you about my plans. Hua Tianxiong paused and said: "I don't understand your military, but I need you to open up an area that we can control, this is the most important and the most urgent, I heard Li Guangya say that you have brought 3,000 marines, how much area can you control?" ”

"We intend to take control of the military port, but beyond the region, we can't reach."

"We can't shrink in the military port, so it seems that we are afraid of things, the international view is not good, we have to go to Zhaojia City. You have to figure it out. ”

Mo Longxiang frowned and said: "The military port is the safest at present, and there is an office building in the military port that can undertake this work." In addition, Liang Ji is in charge of security. ”

"Liang Ji has less than 100 men, and he is mainly responsible for protecting the safety of King Hua. I'm going to lend you a thousand, okay! ”

"The port of the fleet of the King of Chu is very complete, it is one of the best military ports in the empire, and I am afraid that two thousand people will not be able to defend it, and we don't know if the fleet of the King of Chu is really willing to give us the port......

"Five hundred." Hua Tianxiong stretched out five fingers.

"You're going to defend the Prison Mansion?" Mo Longxiang asked.

Hua Tianxiong nodded, and then said: "Li Guangya will use it for me, and I only need you five hundred people." ”

Mo Longxiang was not stupid enough to nod his head, but asked, "Do you know Li Guangya?" ”

"Old friend." Hua Tianxiong said.

Mo Longxiang nodded, but did not speak again.

Hua Tianxiong glanced up and smiled: "You are now the most powerful among us, don't hesitate..."

Just as Hua Tianxiong was about to continue persuading Mo Longxiang, the door opened and Li Guangya walked in.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is here, excuse me." Li Guangya saw Hua Tianxiong sitting there, turned around and was about to push the door out.

"General Guangya, you wait for a while." Mo Longxiang stopped Li Guangya.

Li Guangya turned around and stood and listened to Mo Longxiang say: "Premier Hua plans to borrow 500 people. You're the commander of the Marine Corps, and you're going too. You see what to do, you decide. ”

Li Guangya immediately understood, and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, my 3,000 marines are not much, but these people are similar to me and Long Xiang, they are all outsiders, the Central Fleet has a saying, those who don't get on the ship are one level shorter, and we people are all squeezed out for various reasons, don't look at what the hell I am, the deputy commander of the Central Fleet, when I first arrived here, I just couldn't get on the ship, and the Marine Corps was forced to get this thing out of desperation, because the Central Fleet gave me a few grain ships at that time and asked me to be in charge of logistics. As soon as I saw it, there were three good ones, good one, transporting bullshit food, so I used them as troop carriers, one with 1,000 people, and just organized these 3,000 marines and recognized myself as a commander. Today, the prime minister came to ask for someone, and Long Xiang asked me to decide, and I was bound to give it. But I made it clear to the prime minister first, 3,000 people, 5 squadrons, 600 people in one squadron, you borrow 500 people, I can discuss with Long Xiang and give you a squadron, but I can't go! ”

"It's okay, Li Guangya, I don't need to talk about you, you're here too. I'll deliver a message from the master, listen well. Hua Tianxiong continued: "Taifu said that this time I went to Beidao, I would like to help Ma Chongshan up, take back the authority of the Prison Military Office, first clean up the politics of Beidao, don't worry about foreign affairs, don't have to take care of the military, use Yang Mou, let Li Guangya be a temporary governor, let him dispatch the military, let him go!" When Mo Longxiang arrived on the island, he asked him to communicate with me at any time, and he had to give him foreign affairs. ”

When Hua Tianxiong said this, he paused again and said, "This time, inside the Qincha, they are all staring at the meat of Beidao. Qi Tian Shun is Mo Hu's person, and when he arrives on the island, he will carry out a counterattack, but the people of North Island will not listen to him, this is inevitable, Mo Hu and Qi Tian Shun also know it. Mo Hu has already begun to recruit personnel to Beidao, and the king of Chu does not allow people from Mo Hu's Central Military Region to come under the pretext that Beidao has not yet counterattacked, so Qi Tianshun will definitely not do his best, Beidao is lost, and Mo Hu's army arrives in Beidao, then Beidao is Mo Hu's; Liang Ji is Li Huaqian's person, Taifu is sending people, and asked him to come by name, because he is afraid that Li Huaqian will send one of the three permanent attendants to come over, so don't underestimate Liang Ji's ability, Li Huaqian should be the king of Chu to reach some tacit understanding, so Liang Ji represents not only Li Huaqian but also the power of the king of Chu. ”
