Chapter 184 Eastern Sea Situation
After reading the reports of the various armies, Chen Xiong was also relieved.
The army set out for two months, and there was also a month for the battle. The results of the battle were as expected, most of the rebellious villages had been breached, and the major tribes were also very honest and did not rebel directly. It is estimated that in just one more month, Guangxi will be completely stabilized.
Chen Dong frowned: "My lord, Anshun Li Dingguo's army is expanding, and many rebels have fled to his command. Do you want to gather troops to destroy them? ”
The reports of the general staff of each army were directly reviewed by Chen Xiong, and the reports of the general staff of each division were reviewed by Chen Dong and Chen Nan, deputy general staff officers.
Li Dingguo! Chen Xiong frowned! If it were someone else, he would take the opportunity to wipe it out! But!
"Forget it, ignore them for now! Southwest issues, or stay at the end! "After all, the world is focused on the south of the Central Plains, and the southwest is insignificant.
"Well, that's fine." Chen Dong just proposed, it's okay to leave it alone! Not to mention Guizhou, even the western part of Guangxi is very remote, and now the occupation is more than worth the loss.
At this time, Staff Officer Chen Zhong suddenly walked in quickly, and even forgot to knock politely!
"Lord, this is an urgent report detected by the Military Intelligence Bureau!"
Chen Xiong frowned and immediately took the note.
"Recently, the maritime merchants have secretly connected with each other, and I thought they were going to do something against the grain. After some investigation, it turned out that the pirates in the East China Sea were rampant, and more than 20 ships under the rule of Lingnan were seized by the pirate alliance. The Ryukyu pirates under the command of Shi Dawei are forcing the maritime merchants to pay the ransom, and now the maritime merchants are discussing and trying to suspend the maritime trade in the north! ”
Okay very! The Ryukyu Commander-in-Chief Shi Dawei! Chen Xiong was furious! The sailors let them go unharmed, and they went to Ryukyu to be pirates!
The sailor intended to be on Moon Island, and did not take into account the Ryukyu waters for the time being. Today, the main islands of the Ryukyus have been occupied by the Toei people, and there are pirate groups of various sizes on the islands. There are Han Chinese, a small number of Koreans, and more Wakos.
"Chen Zhong, you get on the clipper, take the wooden dragon and the wooden snake to Penghu, command the naval fleet to kill the pirate alliance in the East China Sea, and then recover Moon Island, as many hostages as possible!" As for the hostages, it can only depend on their luck.
"It's the lord." Chen Zhong nodded and then turned to leave. Staff Officer Chen Zhong left, and a small group of wooden guards from the military headquarters immediately followed. The grass and wood soldiers are the representatives of the Han king, after all, the appearance of the silver man is not much different from the ordinary local scribes. What is different between them is their weight and combat effectiveness, the silver man is faster than the iron man, and the wood man is no different, but the defense is even worse than the stone man.
The military headquarters is located in the palace, which is also very close to the Political Yuan.
Bang bang~ There was a knock on the door, and Wu Jiu spoke: "Come in!" ”
"General Politics Wu, this is the master's handwriting." Chief Wu bowed his head, and the writer didn't look at himself at all, and the silver man Chen Xi smiled faintly and was not displeased.
Lord! Wu Jiu immediately raised his head, and he was also startled at this look.
"It's Staff Officer Chen Xi, the old man is slacking!" Wu Jiu said apologetically, and took the handwritten book at the same time.
Chen Xi's face was as usual: "The General Political Department has all the opportunities, and a certain An dares to commit crimes." ”
Wu Jiu frowned and said after reading the warrant: "These businessmen have an accident, and they won't come to inform the military government first!" Please tell the chief officer, and I will immediately send an official letter to stabilize the merchant. ”
If the merchants are allowed to suspend the trade between the north and the sea, they will lose the two heavy silver places of Goryeo and Dongying, and the share of Lingnan will probably be eaten up by the maritime merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.
Chen Zhong took a small speedboat and came to the Penghu pier in a few days.
"Look there's a boat."
"Hey, why is it a pro-military flag?" The tricolor flag of heaven, earth and man, but the middle is a black Chen character. Pure black, this is the unique flag of the Han pro-army outside.
"Quick, go and inform the commander and the military order!" The captain of the dock knew that the presence of the Han army must be an order from the military headquarters.
Hearing the arrival of the Han soldiers, Qiu Sen Zhouli immediately waited in the General Soldier's Mansion.
Let the wooden dragon and the wooden snake eat on their own, Chen Zhong also quickly walked towards Shi Dawei's former chief soldier's mansion.
The sound of dense footsteps came, Qiu Sen couldn't help frowning, there seemed to be a lot of people coming.
Black and white official uniform and black half-body armor, Qiu Sen immediately stood up when he saw it from a distance. The staff officers of the military department are all students of the lord, and these are all Confucian generals who are really capable of martial arts.
"Staff Officer Chen!" Zhou Li was very surprised that Chen Zhong, the five major staff officers beside the lord, actually came in person!
Chen Zhong was only a major general, but nominally he was the superior of all army commanders and commanders.
Qiu Sen didn't dare to be contemptuous: "The central staff officer, please sit down, there is a staff officer." ”
Chen Zhong took two sips of tea, then nodded and said, "The commander and the military order can know the Ryukyu Pirate Alliance?" ”
Qiu Sen nodded: "This is the Ryukyu Blood Alliance formed by the Zheng family's traitor Shi Dawei and the Japanese pirates, and their target is our Han army and the Zheng family's forces!" ”
Zhou Li frowned: "Staff Officer, shouldn't our report arrive so soon?" ”
"This is a secret report from the Military Intelligence Agency! The Blood Alliance seized more than 20 merchant ships in our Lingnan to blackmail maritime merchants, and now the maritime merchants dare not go north again! ”
Chen Zhong's words were peaceful, but the commanders of the two fleets were furious.
"Damn, Shi Dawei dares to do this!" Qiu Sen scolded, I wish I should have killed them before!
Zhou Li immediately said: "Please give the staff order, my Second Fleet will go to the Ryukyus immediately." ”
Such a big war requires an order from the military headquarters, otherwise they will not be able to fight at will. The standardized military headquarters made all army commanders and generals dare not act at will. Similarly, the three fleets also appointed a lot of staff officers, and the staff officers of the silver people optimized the various departments of the Han army from top to bottom.
The appearance of the silver officer also stifled the warlordization of the Han army! Chen Xiong's living armies will naturally be heartfelt, but if the second generation of lords is changed, the warlords of various departments will have different intentions.
Chen Zhong nodded: "The lord is furious, and the military department appointed during the war: Now the First and Second Fleets are under the command of this staff officer." ”
Qiu Sen Zhouli immediately stood up and saluted: "Take the order." ”
"Leave 20,000 people to guard against the Zheng family, and the rest of the warships will sail for Ryukyu tomorrow!" Chen Zhong ordered directly.
Qiu Sen frowned and said: "Participate in the order, there are forty or fifty thousand pirates in the Blood Alliance, although there are few artillery, but they are all brave!" ”
Zhou Li also nodded: "Participate in the order, the Zheng family will definitely not dare to move lightly, we should fight quickly!" ”
"More than 40,000 or 50,000 is really a lot, and the maritime merchants only know that they estimate that there are about 30,000! But it doesn't matter, the lord's dragon snake sea beast is foraging in the sea, otherwise he won't let Ben Shen go out in person! "If it weren't for a quick battle, if it wasn't for the convenience of commanding the dragon, snake, and sea beasts, there would be no need for the direct command of the military staff.
Dragon snake, big giant snake! Qiu Sen couldn't help but shudder! A one-meter-thick giant snake can swallow even an ordinary elephant!
"Participate in the order, how many dragons and snakes are participating in the battle!" The giant snake of the sea and land, Zhou Xiang has also been fascinated for a long time!
They didn't know that in addition to the twenty-meter wooden snake, there were two huge sea dragons. The sea dragon is now at its limit of 50 meters long, and its body is 3 meters thick, which can even be swallowed by ordinary whales. The great white shark can't stand the dragon's tail and has to die, and even the killer whale can't hurt the sea dragon. Unfortunately, however, sea dragons cannot leave the sea for long periods of time. You have to go into the water no more than an hour after going ashore, otherwise you will lose your strength and die slowly. If it is sunny weather, the sea dragon should not go ashore for more than half an hour.
"Not much, a total of sixty-two dragon snake sea beasts, but this is already the vast majority!"
Chen Zhong's faint smile made Qiu Sen and the others couldn't help but be depressed! Sixty-two is not much! Even their fleet can't be shocked by the attack of the giant serpent! On land, the serpents can only touch the edge of the knife, but in the sea even heavy artillery can't hit them!
