After the dinner, Gao Chengjun left Zheng Chenggong in his mansion.

"Is there anything important to discuss with me?" After the two sat down, Gao Chengjun asked Zheng Chenggong with a smile.

"Erbao, I have a plan to attack Jilong Mountain."

"Chicken Coop Mountain?" Gao Chengjun didn't understand it at all.

Zheng Chenggong explained: "Our name is Jilong Mountain, which is what you often call the island of Taiwan. ”

Gao Chengjun also explained: "It's not what I often say, it's what my father often says. ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "It's the same anyway, it's a plan to attack Taiwan." ”

Gao Chengjun's interest came up: "Tell me quickly!" ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "We are now able to command two fleets, and we have steam engine warships like 'Wuchang No. 1' and 'Wuchang No. 6', and there is absolutely no problem in attacking Jilong Mountain." I sent people across the sea to investigate, and the Dutch on Jilong Mountain were up to 1,000, and I also found out that the Tu people of Jilong Mountain were also preparing to drive away the Dutch. ”

Gao Chengjun asked, "Can you get in touch with them?" ”

"I tried to send someone over to contact me, and I heard that the two people who brought the territorial clan to make trouble, one is named Guo Huai, and the other is called Long Guan."

Gao Chengjun said: "You send someone to contact these two people, if they are willing to help us, after the matter is completed, each of them will be given 300 acres of fertile land." ”

"I'll do it for you." Zheng Chenggong is full of confidence, in fact, he has already sent people to Taiwan to do a lot of preliminary work, and their Zheng family also has a deep foundation in Taiwan. As for attacking Taiwan, he believed that there was no problem with the ships, but there was a lack of regular troops to land on the island, so he suggested borrowing troops from Fujian, "Erbao, can you borrow a division of troops from the Fifth Army Corps?" In this way, after we landed on the island, the Dutch on the island were left to them. ”

Gao Chengjun shook his head and said, "No need. I have good news for you, my father has sent a Marine Brigade to Ryukyu, and he is on his way to Naha in ten days. ”

"With the Marine Brigade in the war, then things are even more secure." Zheng Chenggong was still a little worried, "I don't know if I can command them?" ”

Gao Chengjun comforted: "This time it is the 1st Marine Brigade of the Navy that was sent, and it was personally brought out by my big brother, can they not listen to me?" ”

Zheng Chenggong exclaimed: "The 1st Marine Brigade of the Navy, a heroic unit!" ”

Gao Chengjun asked with concern: "Is it smooth for you to take over the Sixth Fleet?" ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "It's going well. Most of the commanders of the Sixth Fleet are from our Naval Academy, and I don't have much problem handing over to them, and the team of this kind of unit is a branch of our Zheng family, and many of them are my old subordinates. ”

Gao Chengjun said: "It's good to be able to take over smoothly." You have to get acquainted with the situation as soon as possible, and I will be in charge of this army during the period of time you have not come, and now I will hand him over to you, and you must train them well. ”

……

On the tenth day of Zheng Chenggong's arrival in the Ryukyus, the 1st Marine Brigade came to report.

The newly appointed brigade commander was named Li Feixiong, and he was promoted because of his outstanding achievements.

The First Marine Brigade also brought to the Sixth Fleet a Wuchang-class battleship that had just been launched, the Wuchang No. 7.

The 1st Marine Brigade only received orders from the High Orange Army in the Ryukyus, so Brigade Commander Lee came to report to the High Orange Army first.

"Report to Director Gao, Major General Li Feixiong, Brigade Commander of the First Marine Brigade of the Ninth Army Corps, come to report!"

Gao Chengjun said: "It's been hard all the way! You came in time and didn't get into any trouble on the way, did you? ”

"All the best!" Li Feixiong said.

"Good!" Gao Chengjun gave up his seat and said, "General Li, please take a seat!" I will report to your Commander Sun that you have arrived safely in the Ryukyus. ”

After Li Feixiong sat down, he said, "Commander Sun has made it clear that the First Marine Brigade of our Navy is subject to Director Gao's dispatch. ”

Gao Chengjun asked, "What is your establishment and personnel?" ”

"Back to Director Gao, our First Marine Brigade is a first-class brigade, with two regiments and 5,000 people."

Gao Chengjun said: "This time the army is reorganized, and your marine brigade has also been reduced a lot, I remember that when Commander Sun was your brigade commander, there were 7,000 people. ”

Li Feixiong said: "Director Gao, rest assured, although our brigade has been reduced, its combat effectiveness has not decreased, please Director Gao to inspect our brigade." ”

Gao Chengjun said: "There is no need for inspection, it is just a formality, superficial effort." ”

"Our 1st Marine Brigade is waiting for Director Gao's review!"

Gao Chengjun thought to himself, this Li Feixiong's fart was quite well filmed, and Director Gao kept screaming before and after Director Gao. It is good to go and inspect it, first, to see the ability of this newly appointed brigade commander to lead the troops, and second, to boost the morale of the Marine Brigade.

So, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, when you settle down, I'll review it once." How are your two regiments currently arranged? ”

"Report to Director Gao, the first regiment and brigade headquarters are stationed in Naha, and the second regiment is stationed in the Osumi Islands, Togara Islands, Amami Islands, Okinawa Islands, Miyako Islands, and Yaeyama Islands."

After hearing this, Gao Chengjun said: "It is only expedient to let your Marine Brigade garrison the island, and after the new Legion is established, you can be replaced, and your main task is to attack." ”

Li Feixiong said: "Our First Marine Brigade can fight and defend, no matter where we are placed, it is an invincible team. ”

Gao Chengjun believed that Li Feixiong should be made aware of the next step in recovering Taiwan, and that he must also participate in the command, so he immediately turned the topic to the issue of attacking Taiwan.

"To the south of us is the island of Taiwan, and I am now working with the navy to plan to seize the island, so you must give full play to the role of the Marine Brigade and strive to make new achievements in the battle to seize the island."

Li Feixiong said: "Fight Taiwan, no problem. As long as Director Gao gives an order, our Marine Brigade will resolutely plant the battle flag on Alishan! ”

Gao Chengjun thought to himself, it seems that this kid is also prepared, and he even thought of planting the battle flag on Alishan.

"You have just arrived, let the troops rest first. We have set up a command to recover Taiwan, and you are also involved! ”

"Obey! The last general is now back to the camp. ”

The Gao Cheng army was about to nod in agreement, and the soldiers came to report, and the island country Tokugawa shogunate sent someone.

"Who's the one who sent it?" Gao Chengjun asked.

"It was an official of the Tokugawa shogunate, named Masamori Nakane, who also brought a team of murderous samurai."

Gao Chengjun was surprised: "You also brought a samurai? How many people are there? ”

"More than thirty people."

"Looks like they're looking for death." After Gao Chengjun said this, he turned to Li Feixiong and said, "Brigade Commander Li, don't go back yet, take a platoon, and follow me to meet this Nakane Masamori for a while." ”
