The product is not allowed to leave this place, and Hui closely cares about the year to move the rudder and raise the sail, and the oyster leads the sea to sail. At this moment, I saw the waves churning on the sea, and two light ships were entering the port, and the two fishing boats had recently undergone a large-scale refit and were undergoing sea surveys. The modification project dismantled the above-mentioned production equipment and some navigation and electronic equipment that were too advanced for this time and space, added weapons, set up a special ammunition depot, and expanded fuel tanks and personnel quarters. Armor was also installed in key areas, making it commensurate with its status as a "cruiser".

Tang Yunwen looked at the steel warship majestic, and the sound of the machine rumbled past five hundred meters outboard. That is, regardless of the direction of the wind, regardless of the small tide, there is no sail oars, but it is like the wind, and the ocean is as free as a smooth road. I couldn't help but turn pale, and I sat on the fishing net like a force.

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Wen hurriedly went over and helped him up.

"It doesn't matter!" Tang Yunwen waved his hand, "Go back!" ”

Tang Yunwen sat for a while. After settling down, he got up and went down to the cabin to sit, only to feel that the sweaty mouth and the fishing boat caused him more stimulation than the big iron boat, which was nothing more than a catty. "Big", besides, he didn't believe that this behemoth could start on its own. But the fishing boat was what he had seen with his own eyes. The opponent has such a ship, how powerful it can be in a naval battle, as a naval general, he knows very well.

"This ship is amazing." Zhang Wen is also young.

"It's an iron clipper." The captain of the ship said, "It was also brought by the Australians." ”

"So they don't have more than one big iron ship?" Zhang Wen said nervously, and the iron boat?

"Of course it's more than that." The boat boss said proudly. "In addition to the iron clipper, I have seen them have a kind of boat with a very low gang, the deck is very flat, it was originally filled with large iron boxes, but now there is only a big hanging boat on it, "Some people have also seen Australians have a kind of boats with square heads, no need to enter the port, can go on and off the beach by themselves, the bow can also be opened, open a horn jump"

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Wen couldn't help but comment, "If the bow of the ship can be opened, isn't it going to sink in the sea?" ”

The old man of the boat said: "Vice master! This is everyone's legend, and I haven't seen it before, so I don't know if it's like this. ”

Tang Yunwen is not interested in this boat that can be opened at the bow, what he cares about is this "iron clipper". Q: "How many Iron Clippers are there in this group of Australians?" ”

"I don't know about this little one." The captain said that the Australian ships are all moored at a special pier on the other side of Bopu Port, and ordinary ships are not allowed to approach, and there are small boats patrolling on the water at all times, and they are not allowed to cross the line. "There are good-looking and lively ones, if you have to get closer to see them, they have all been arrested, and none of them have been put back." The smile on the captain's face was gone, "I heard that it was for the Australians to do hard labor." ”

Thinking of his behavior of carrying the officers to visit Bopu this time, if the Australians found out, it would be about the same fate, the captain of the ship stood up and patted his buttocks, and repeatedly scolded the boatmen, telling them to shake their spirits and leave quickly.

"My lord, this iron clipper is tricky"

Tang Yunwen nodded. He thought about forcing the Australians to evacuate Lingao. Conquest by force is bound to fail. Only by following the method of Penghu to deal with the red-haired people in those years, the army is approaching the border and forcing peace. The Australians came from afar, after all, the ship was small and the people were small, although they vigorously recruited local people to enrich Liliang, but the scale was limited. With a tenfold or twenty-fold advantage, they show their authority, and they don't worry about the other party retreating without knowing the difficulties.

At the end of Wanli, the red-haired people went to Penghu with three large ships, and the officials and soldiers forced them out of fifty warships; When the Apocalypse entered Penghu for the second time in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there were only more than a dozen red-haired warships and no more than 800 land troops. Yu Zhigao led more than 10,000 people to hold on to him for eight months before forcing him to retreat. The strength and scale of the Australians now are far superior to the red-haired people at that time.

In his estimation, the Australians who were entrenched in Bopu should be expelled. It is necessary to mobilize no less than the scale of the red-haired people who expelled Penghu for the second time during the Wanli and Apocalypse years. The number of troops mobilized is tens of thousands, not to mention 50 warships, to surround the Australians around Bopu and force them to retreat. There is no other way.

Lin Qiaoguang was walking on the county front street in Qiongshan County in the clothes of a small businessman, and he was about to visit someone. And this person has a lot to do with Jihua who he came here.

The rule of the crossing group in Lingao is deepening, and the Jihua mining in the important resource points of the whole island is also being implemented, and the next step is to infiltrate and control the prefectures and counties of the whole island. Old pay!

The other Jing counties on the island are not politically or militarily significant. The Executive Committee believes that the key is Qiongshan County. Qiongshan County is the capital county of Qiongzhou Prefecture. The gateway to Hainan Island, the political and economic center of the whole island, is the core of the Ming Dynasty's rule. It is also the only place where a mobile force with combat power is stationed on the whole island.

If the Ming army wants to carry out the encirclement and suppression of the bottles, is it necessary for the army to cross the sea and assemble? Earth; In the war to unify the whole island, it is also necessary to defeat the garrison of Baisha Shuisai, capture the city of Qianhu in Haikou, and occupy the county seat of Qiongshan. To this end, the Intelligence Committee has focused its intelligence and infiltration efforts at this stage. Lin Yiguang's task is to use existing relationships. An intelligence network was established in the Qiongzhou Prefecture, with a focus on infiltrating the local government and garrison. Grasp the situation and movements of the garrison.

Qiongshan County City is much larger than Lingao because it is attached to Guofu City. The county seat is located at the foot of Daying Mountain and Baoliang Mountain, and is built by the mountains and rivers. The terrain is higher than the surrounding area. The River Meishe flows through its South and East Gates, forming a natural moat. This is similar to the fortification of Lingao.

This place is where the capital city is, and most of the people and materials from the mainland are distributed here, so the business is quite prosperous, and there are many shops and houses on both sides of the street outside the east gate, west gate and south gate, which is very lively, and there are handicraft workshops that are rare in Hainan. Many simple primary industrial products can only be worshipped here on Hainan Island, so the population here is also densely populated, and the streets are bustling, looking a bit like the ancient county town in the movie.

But once you enter the county, you don't see many businesses and residents like Lingao. On both sides of the street are all kinds of government offices: Qiongzhou Mansion Office, Hainan Branch Shoudao, Buzheng Branch, Ordnance Bureau, Qiongzhou Mansion School, Qiongshan County School "There is almost no shadow of private houses, let alone commercial institutions." It's just that there is a market in the east gate of Guanxiang, which is still quite lively. Lin quietly inquired, this place is also called "Dongmen City"

Lin Qiaoguang was very puzzled by this strange situation, the scale of the dignified city of Weishenme was so large that it was filled with all kinds of government offices, and there was not much area. It is deserted, and there is almost no room for residential and commercial areas for residents, but it is bustling outside the city, forming a settlement of the most populous population. He didn't know that there was a big difference between the cities in ancient Hainan and the cities on the mainland: the inland was populated first and then the cities were small, that is, the cities appeared after the population was concentrated to a certain density; Hainan first has a city, and then there are small people to build a city for garrison and administrative needs, in other words, whether it is the capital city of Qiongzhou or the city of Lingao, its essence is a military castle. The purpose of building the city was more to defend against the attacks of the aborigines and bandits, and to show the ruling power of the imperial court.

Slowly, the city became a guarantee of safety, and the people gathered around the city to form settlements. Because the city itself has not been planned for residents, it is generally difficult to accommodate the increasing number of private houses, so even the hometowns of Qiu Rui and Hai Rui, famous figures in Qiongshan County, are outside the West Gate.

The crossing group has a foothold in Shenying Port outside Qiongshan County, which is an inn opened by Qiwei, in addition to having guest rooms, it also has a large-scale cargo store and a high-scale ferry ticket agency. The service is for merchants who purchase local products on the island. They purchased all kinds of local products on Hainan Island, which could be temporarily stored here, and then handled the cargo consignment procedures through Gaoguang Shipping Company. Because of the convenient procedures and safe transportation, one-third of the goods exported from Qiongshan are now carried by the ships of Gaoguang Shipping Company.

Lin Yiguang thought that it was too far away from the city to settle in the inn, which was inconvenient. He took his subordinates to live in a small temple outside the city as a merchant, which was not large, but the living and food were very clean and elegant. Not only is it convenient to live, but it is also very quiet. It was a "high-class hotel" at the time

He was generous, and as soon as he arrived, he threw out ten taels of silver to cover a small courtyard. Settle in. Set up the portable planing radio station and establish radio contact with the Lingao main station. Every day he would go out and walk around and follow a list to "visit" guests.

It's not exactly what it says is a "visit". Some are real visits, to the door to post to see; Some only inquire about the news in the periphery, and do not really ask for a meeting.

These people have nine streams and three sects, and they have everything they do, and the list that Lin Yiguang holds is actually their relationship network in Qiongshan County, which was sorted out from the documents and materials of Qi Da Qi Er. He was ready to take over the system.

Lin Qiaoguang circled about twenty people on the list of those who had cooperation with the Qi family, and it was not necessary to receive a network of relationships. According to the Jihua of the Crossing Group, the end of the first five years of Jihua will occupy the entire Hainan Island. At that time, they will be the rulers of Qiongshan County.

Among the people he selected were the officials in the government, the petty officers in the local garrison, the merchants who ran the shops, and the merchants who traveled between the mainland and Qiongshan, all of whom had been able to provide great assistance to the Crossing Group in terms of intelligence and trade in recent years.
