The composition of the fleet of this sortie:

2 Nanhai-class battleships, captained by Yan Changwu and Ceresma;

2 Tainan-class fifth-class sail cruisers, captained by Costeit and Cheng Yu;

16 Kaohsiung-class six-class sail cruisers!

Plus 6 fast supply ships (all of them have 12-pounder guns on the open deck with 10 guns), and 2 Clippers in Vergate for communications.

The total number of large fleets reached twenty-eight, with Yan Changwu as commander and Gan Hui as deputy commander.

The affairs of the Southeast Prefecture were handled by Chen Xinji, Hong Sheng, Chen Hebin, Li Ying, and Li De, and the transfer of warships of the remaining fleet and the transfer of more than 10 marines must be jointly signed by Chen Xinji and Li Ying in order to be effective.

"It's not that I can't trust you!" Yan Changwu bluntly said to the left-behind personnel: "The system is better than human favors, so you are good, I am good, everyone is good!" ”

The management of the southeast province has gradually become institutionalized, and everyone has begun to get used to it.

The dispatches were all fast ships, and Yan Changwu announced that there were two more third-class battleships that would be commissioned within this year, and the two deputy commanders, Li Ying and Li De, would serve as captains!

At first, everyone thought that Yan Changwu was dedicated to using military cadets, and he was shelving the use of the two Admirals Li, but they didn't expect that they would actually become the captains of the capital ships!

The news was released, and the two Li suddenly congratulated the door in front of the door.

Yan Changwu did have a certain amount of thought before, after all, the two Uncle Li were the brothers of his cheap father Yan Siqi, not his brothers, and later Chen Xinji persuaded him.

"If they had thought before, they wouldn't have it now! Because you're in control!

You lack manpower, you are very lacking, and if you have one strength, you will have one more strength! ”

Externally, it is the victory of wars again and again, and internally, the people's living standards are rising like sesame seeds.

And he has passed his most difficult times, a new generation of officer corps is rising, and this officer corps has him at its core and is loyal to him,

Yan Changwu took this as a matter of course, and started the use of the two Lis, urging them to strengthen their training and possibly participate in the Battle of Batavia in the future.

The two Li were overjoyed and nodded again and again.

The situation is obvious, Yan Changwu has a bright future in the future, follow him, and the future is likely to be like everyone following Cao Cao!

In the future, it will be a matter of sealing the marquis!

Everyone is glad that they followed the right boss!

……

"Everyone, sit down!" Yan Changwu sat at the end of the small conference room of the Navy Headquarters in Southeast Prefecture, and all the officers stood upright, and when they heard his order, they sat down together.

It was the evening of June 2, 1630, and the sky was full of sunset, illuminating the dense warships in the Kaohsiung Military Port with gold, and everyone who saw it was proud.

"A lot of work!" Yan Changwu said a little tiredly: "I'm going to leave tomorrow, this meeting should have been held a long time ago, but Bendu is really busy, it's not too late now, let's talk about it!" ”

"Our participation this time is a good opportunity to put our strength into Guangdong and make us famous, which is very beneficial to us!" He got straight to the point.

"We have nothing to say about the battle against Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi, just one word, it is 'boom!' ”

"If you see it, you will shoot it, and don't talk nonsense!"

"Everyone knows the Ten Killings, unless the commander retreats according to the battlefield situation, everyone has no retreat."

"Liu Xiang once stabbed me, and Li Kuiqi owes us a blood debt, so I hung 30,000 silver dollars for Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi's heads! Hanging 100,000 silver dollars to Li Kuiqi alive, and the officers and soldiers who caught them were all promoted to three levels except for a silver reward. Yan Changwu spread his hands and said: "I don't have to say anything and never break my word, everyone knows that I will do what I say!" ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and the distinction between rewards and punishments was clearly a major feature of the army of the Southeast Province.

After Yan Changwu finished his words, he went to Deputy Chief of Staff Gan Hui to explain the enemy's situation.

"Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi's gang has more than 5,000 people and more than 230 large and small ships, of which the main ships are:

There are as many as ten large Chinese military ships (belonging to the fast Xiamen Tong'an ship type. The ship is 32 meters long, 7.1 meters wide, 3 meters deep, displacement 225 tons, deadweight 100 tons, 3 masts and 4 sails);

The big black boat is fifty (the black ship is a kind of wooden sailing ship along the coast of Fujian and Guangzhou, the hull is painted black, the boat shape is like a trough, and the two sides of the bow are painted with eyes, so it is called the black boat. The ship was originally a fishing boat, but was later converted into a transport ship or a war ship. The boat is 12 meters long and 4 meters wide. ）；

There are also 80 fishing boats (converted from net-fishing boats, which belong to medium-sized sea vessels built in southern Fujian, with a length of 12-25 meters and a width of 3.6-6.4 meters. ）；

About 20 ships (also known as double-canopy ships) are medium-sized warships built in the area of Zhangzhou and Xiamen with solid structure, flexible handling and fast driving. The boat is 20 meters long and 5.7 meters wide, and is made of pine and fir timber. The ship can also be used as an ocean-going cargo ship, and the boat's family lives on board, with sleeping cabins, which can be converted into a warship if needed. ）

They have established four bases, one is Huilai Shenquan Town, where Shenquan Port is the largest natural harbor in eastern Guangdong, bringing together the three major rivers of Neijiang River, Leiling River and Yanling River in the county, and there are many fishing boats, from which he can get boats and personnel supplies, which is his main base;

The second is the Haifeng Jieshi, where they are also often active in the open sea of Taoyang.

The third is the Wanshan Islands, where the mouth of the Pearl River is choked, where they can set off into the Pearl River and hijack the shipping there.

The last one is Hailing Island (Yangjiang), which is really the setting of the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Their armament is that the Chinese ships are equipped with guns on both sides, there are as many as 12 guns, the rest of the ships are bow and tail guns, there are no side guns, the big black ships have guns, but there are not many heavy guns, they are all small guns, the first guns of the Chinese ships are 12 pounds, and the other guns are mostly 6 to 4 pounds.

Many of Liu Xiang's ships are equipped with 'composite armor', so you have to be very careful!

……”

If Liu Xiang was also at this meeting, then he would break out in a cold sweat after hearing this!

Because the information about him is very accurate!

Before he fought, his details were exposed.

Yan Changwu didn't spend any money in the Intelligence Bureau, over the years, the Intelligence Bureau has been quite low-key, not obvious, but the Intelligence Bureau is aimed at various forces, such as Liu Xiang, the Intelligence Bureau uses merchants and fishing boats (pirates can't rob everything) to constantly spy on his intelligence, with mental calculation and no intention (no thousand days to prevent thieves), his information is accumulating more and more.

"We have few ships, but our gunnery, for their composite armor, we have urgently reinforced all Tier 6 cruisers, and they have loaded six 18-pounder guns to break the defenses.

They have many ships, and they are likely to fight with us, divide and surround us, use fireships to attack us, and even many fireships, we have to distance ourselves, four words 'don't worry'!

Also, they are likely to lure us into the shallow waters, and when we leave after the meeting, each captain will issue a chart of the coastal waters of Guangdong Province, and basically the depth and shallowness of the water are on the charts! There are also sea breeze maps at different times!

Explain a word, pay attention to secrecy, everyone has taken a secrecy class, what can be done, what can not be done everyone knows, this chart, only the captain and the deputy captain plus the captain can see it, no other people are allowed to see it, no one can copy it! Gan Hui said sternly.

Therefore, the victory was not only on the battlefield, but also on the hydrographic exploration brigade that made the charts alone, and their footprints traveled all over the coast of the continent, and their footprints reached the Philippines and Batavia! For many years, I have silently made enough guarantees for victory!

Early the next morning, the fleet sailed into the sea of the rising sun with a warm farewell, and slaughtered to Guangdong Province!
