Chapter 275 is more important

The road back to the North Bay Pier is not far, even if it is dark, the group has only walked for about half an hour.

However, Lin Xiao spent a lot of time doing ideological work for Qu Shiyun, and the two chatted while walking, almost all the way.

“…… That's the way it is, it's their hands that move first,"

In the dark, Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "Since I can't get out of it, I think it's better to just solve it." ”

After several in-depth communication, Qu Shiyun should already understand his own thoughts, whether it is Macao or the big man, in his hands, he must take back sovereignty, this is a matter of time.

Lin Xiao has also expressed his attitude towards Westerners many times, and Qu Shiyun is also clear.

However, what Lin Xiao is worried about is that as a person of this era, Qu Shiyun's vision must have his inherent limitations.

Coupled with his close relationship with the people of the Church in Macau, I am afraid that he will complain that he does not distinguish between friend and foe, at least he cannot distinguish between priority and priority.

People of this era will not know at all how deep the damage caused to the Chinese people by these Western white-skinned pigs in the future!

How would they know that only two hundred years later, these seemingly polite foreigners directly drove the strong ships and cannons into the mouth of Dagu;

How would they know that those big-headed soldiers armed with foreign guns burned, killed, raped, and plundered all kinds of evils in the city of Beijing, and they robbed boxes and boxes of antique treasures as a kind of glory, filling the major museums of various countries;

How would they know that the Qing Empire under the rule of "Lafayette" paid 450 million taels of silver to others with just one Gengzi indemnity, and under the tyrannical expropriation and desperate looting, the country's financial revenue that year was less than 40 million taels......

……

In fact, Qu Shiyun did have an idea at the beginning.

In the eyes of these high-ranking officials and lords, even if they take advantage of a few foreigners, it will not hurt for the time being, right?

What's more, the current enemy is not these foreigners at all, and the biggest threat is those Jiannu Tartars!

The hateful Tartar has occupied eighty percent of the Daming rivers and mountains, and the Chinese people are wailing under the iron hooves, looking forward to the king going north day and night......

At this time, if you don't go all out to recover your homeland and let the emperor and the court return the capital as soon as possible, but you still have the leisure to fight with the Francophile on a small island, isn't this a prioritization and putting the cart before the horse?

……

"Shuangmu, even though you have made up your mind, I can't stop you,"

Although he walked a little breathlessly, Qu Shiyun still adjusted his breathing and said seriously,

"However, there is one thing I want to remind you, between the life and death of several people, and the hatred of the country and family, you have to weigh it clearly......"

"Ge Lao, as you said, in the face of national righteousness, personal life and death, trivial matters,"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "However, Lin Xiao's move is not entirely to avenge Captain Chen......

"Really?"

"Yes, actually, there may be someone else who killed Captain Chen......

Lin Xiao said unhurriedly, "And I still have to do this for two reasons,"

"First, it's a matter of time before the mirror is taken back, this time it's really just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence, and it can't be delayed for a few days;"

"Second, and more importantly, I got the information, and Shang Kexi wants to run!"

"Oh, is it? Message really? ”

At the mention of Shang Kexi, Qu Shiyun's expression perked up, and his tone immediately became a little heavier.

Shang Kexi killed so many people, how could he let him slip through the net!

"Yes, sure, moreover, he wanted to run by sea, and he asked for a Francophone escort......"

Lin Xiao's voice was small, but his tone was firm, "There are a few gunboats, and they have already gone to Guangzhou......"

"That's right......"

Qu Shiyun stopped, turned his head, and stared at Lin Xiao, "So, you decided to take down the Haojing, do you want to seal the Pearl River Estuary?" ”

"Yes!" Lin Xiao smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"Okay......"

Qu Shiyun sighed, "I only have one request, if I can, can I ...... Bleeding less? ”

Lin Xiao: "......"

It's a war, my lord!

Isn't being merciful to the enemy being cruel to one's own people?

"What do you mean...... Those Jesuit missionaries? ”

After being silent for a while, Lin Xiao still tentatively spoke.

The church in Macao is kind to the small court of Yongli, including Qu Shiyun himself, many people in the court have joined the church, and Lin Xiao knows this.

"You know, they still have people...... In the middle of the line,"

Qu Shiyun's eyes flickered, "Where is the Queen Mother......"

"Alright, my lord, I'll try to figure it out."

After being silent for a long time, Lin Xiao sighed lightly and said.

He had to compromise, Qu Shiyun mentioned the queen mother, and the huge pressure in his heart can be imagined.

If you want to shed less blood, you need to use your brains more, and the key is how to design a combat plan......

……

When the group returned to the Beiwan Wharf, they saw that in the night, there were already many people and heavy guards, and most of the first company of Zhang Chenfeng's reconnaissance battalion had already gone ashore.

The two machine boats, which had been tirelessly going back and forth several times, were carrying his fighters ashore in a steady stream......

According to Lin Xiao's instructions, the first company of the reconnaissance battalion took the lead in landing at this pier outside the city, so that Lin Xiao could mobilize his troops and make deployments as quickly as possible.

After all, there were not enough radios, the means of communication in this era were quite backward, and the closer the troops were, the faster they could act.

Later, two speedboats will transport the second company to the South Bay Pier, which is closer to the larger ship, to replace a special operations team that is on guard there.

There, even within the city, the whole wharf was quite large, and there were far more armed ships of foreigners in the harbor than here in North Bay.

The number of Situ Zheng's special operations team left there was too small to control the entire wharf, and it could only maintain a relatively narrow landing passage at a few berths.

This is also what Lin Xiao is more worried about, if he wants to control the entire wharf, effectively prevent a large number of foreign gunboats from leaving the port, and besiege the two big ships outside the port, he can only wait patiently for the soldiers of the second company to land.

Fortunately, naval warfare in this era was almost impossible to carry out in the dark night when the lights were blinding.

No matter how many gunboats there were, they had to wait until after dawn to make their sorties.

Even if the Governor of Macao was more decisive than anyone else, and they had received the battle order now, the assembly of soldiers and sailors, and the replenishment of gunpowder, artillery and other weapons and materials were very time-consuming in this era, and it was not at all as easy as casual remarks.

Now, what Lin Xiao needs to take advantage of is this time difference.

Lin Xiao wanted to take a gamble to see if it was the Franc man's combat readiness that came quickly, or his soldiers who blocked the dock more quickly.

Lin Xiao is not a gambler, but right now, he has to bet on this.

Because, what he needs to solve more urgently now is the land armament of the Franc machine man, and this is also not as easy as he imagined.

Although Macao is not large, there are three forts in the east, west and north of the city, the largest of which is on the Fortress Hill near the famous St. Paul's Church in the westernmost part of Nam Wan.

The construction of this fort took decades of painstaking efforts by the Franc mechanics, and there were more than a dozen 24-pound cannons on the mountain alone.

At the foot of Fort Hill is the base camp of the Franc Aircraft garrison, where the Governor's Palace, the Council, and the infantry battalion are concentrated.
