Chapter 119: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
The sun had completely set, and a crescent moon was gradually rising above the clear sea sky.
At this time, the sea is affected by the tides, so the wind and waves are much stronger than during the day.
On the island, too, it is brightly lit, and torches are lit everywhere.
Bands of soldiers were patrolling around the island. Although he knew that there was no chance of any illegal camping, the vigilance was still strict.
The rescued people were housed in tents at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, everyone had already eaten dinner, and in the Qin army camp, except for the staggered and outdated passwords of the patrols, there was basically silence.
Only whispers could be heard from the camp of the rescued civilians.
These people are obviously talking about today's events, some are happy and grateful for the rest of their lives and regain their freedom, and there are also admiration and gratitude for the Qin soldiers who annihilated two groups of great Japanese invaders in a row today, and some even knelt on the ground and prayed in the direction of the capital to thank you.
On the top of the mountain, the house that originally belonged to Jiro Aoki had been set up as a temporary trip for Di Qing and Deng Shichang, and the two were sitting around under the lamp to discuss the next plan.
"General Di, it can be said that we can capture Wang Zhi, the Sea Dragon King, today. If Governor Hu knew about it, he would definitely be overjoyed. Deng Shichang said with a smile.
Di Qing also smiled happily: "This Wang Zhi happened to hit our guns today, so it can be said that it took no effort to get it, and it also saved us the pain of running around in the future." Today's capture of Wang Zhi can be regarded as a heavy blow to the arrogant momentum of these widows, and they will definitely not dare to be as rampant as before in the future. The people of this coastal area can also live a stable life. ”
Deng Shichang nodded and agreed: "That's right. Wang Zhi can be said to be the most powerful of these pirates and pirates, and if we capture him alive today, it will naturally have a great deterrent effect on other pirates. ”
"It's just that in my opinion, this deterrent effect will not last. Although Wang Zhi was captured by us, the power vacuum he vacated would also be quickly pushed up by others. We have killed a Wang Zhi, and there will also be Li Zhi, Sun Zhi and others who will come out and continue to cause trouble. Therefore, it is not easy to completely eradicate the plague of the Japanese invaders. ”
Deng Shichang's words were not worried, but there was a faint excitement in his eyes.
Di Qing looked at his expression, and smiled in his heart: "It is indeed not an easy task to completely quell the trouble of the Japanese Invaders, but I see that Admiral Deng has something to say, but what tricks have he come up with?" It's better to say it, let's take a closer look.
Deng Shichang laughed out loud when he heard this, and said heartily: "The so-called hearing the sound of the piano and knowing the meaning of elegance is General Di." Yes, I do have some ideas that I would like to discuss with the general. If this method is feasible, it will save us a lot of effort in the future to pacify the Japanese bandits, and can even calm down the troubles of the Japanese pirates for many years in one fell swoop. ”
Deng Shichang didn't wait for Di Qing to ask again, so he told Di Qing about the plan he had brewed in his heart.
Di Qing groaned slightly after listening to it, and his eyes were full of different colors, and he applauded loudly.
If we can act according to the strategy mentioned by Deng Shichang, once we succeed, the deterrent effect on the Japanese invaders will definitely be several times the effect of today's two wars. Even as Deng Shichang said, it can make the entire coastal pirates and pirates sluggish within a few years, and completely eradicate the plague of pirates.
After the two discussed, Di Qing frowned slightly and said, "This matter still needs to fall on that Wang Zhi." If this person does not cooperate, then it will be difficult for us to carry out this plan. ”
Deng Shichang nodded and said, "That's true." But don't rush it at this time. If you rush too much, it can backfire. ”
After some discussion, the two of them both felt that this plan was feasible, but it would take some time to do so.
Originally, according to the original plan, they had to return to Weihaiwei tomorrow evening and return to Weihaiwei tomorrow evening.
However, since this plan is to be implemented, then naturally it cannot act according to the original plan, so it is necessary to send someone back to Weihaiwei to inform Hu Zongxian and ask Hu Zongxian for permission before it can be implemented.
On the second day, as soon as the sun jumped above the sea level, Deng Shichang sent a naval detachment of ten warships back to Weihaiwei to report to Hu Zongxian the new plan he had agreed with Di Qing.
The sailor detachment that went back to report the news, because it set off early, finally arrived at the temporary military port in Weihaiwei before dark.
When Hu Zongxian heard that Di Qing and Deng Shichang had sent people back, he immediately summoned envoys to come to the Chinese army's big tent.
When Hu Zongxian heard that this time the army went out, not only completely annihilated the Japanese Invaders under Aoki Erlang, but also completely annihilated all the men and horses of Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese Invaders who happened to come to annex Aoki Erlang, and captured Wang Zhi alive, he was stunned at first, and finally laughed out loud.
Hu Zongxian laughed and said: "This is simply an unexpected joy, the two generals are really lucky generals." If the news is reported to the capital, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will definitely be overjoyed when he finds out. ”
After Hu Zongxian was happy, the messenger sent back handed over the letter signed by Di Qing and Deng Shichang to Hu Zongxian.
After reading it, Hu Zongxian pondered for a while, and also felt that this plan was very feasible.
He sent someone to invite Bai Jinxiu, after all, Bai Jinxiu's purpose here is to assist them in providing intelligence support, and he knows the most detailed about the situation of the Japanese Kou, so he asked her to come and take a closer look.
After Bai Jinxiu heard about the great results of this army, he was also overjoyed.
And she also agreed with Deng Shichang and Di Qing's next battle plan.
Since all the front-line leaders had agreed to this battle plan, Hu Zongxian wrote back to Di Qing and Deng Shichang, agreeing that they would implement the plan and that everything could be decided.
The sailor detachment that came back to report the news stayed overnight at Weihaiwei Harbor and replenished some supplies, and then returned the next day to convey Hu Zongxian's orders to Di Qing and Deng Shichang
And this time, Bai Jinxiu also accompanied the people from the Black Ice Terrace.
After a day's sea voyage, the sailor squad returned to the island.
Hearing that Hu Zongxian agreed to the battle plan of the two, Di Qing and Deng Shichang were not surprised, because Hu Zongxian has always been unrigid in the use of troops, and many times he often wins by risk.
However, after they saw the white brocade that came with the boat, both of them were a little surprised.
The two naturally knew the relationship between Bai Jingxiu and Jiang Chuan, Di Qing was older after all, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Bai girl, the sea is stormy, and these widows are also vulnerable. Why did you come to the sea to follow us and suffer this hardship? If the lord knows, but he will blame me for not knowing how to understand. ”
Bai Jinxiu has a strong nature, although he knew that Di Qing had good intentions, but he said with a serious face: "Assisting the two generals to calm down the troubles of the Japanese was originally the mission given to me by His Royal Highness. If I hide in the rear and let the two generals and soldiers fight bloodily, then it is better to go back to the capital and resign from the position of Black Ice Terrace and be a canary with peace of mind. ”
The two generals should also know about His Highness, and since he ordered me to assist the two generals in Pingkou, he naturally hopes that I can really make a difference. Last time Weihaiwei was difficult, I already felt guilty, if this time I still cowered, then what kind of face did I have to go to see His Highness. The two generals don't have to treat me differently just because I'm a woman. Bai Jinxiu is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, and all major matters depend on the two generals. If there is anything that needs the help of Xiangzan, please do not hesitate to ask for it. ”
Although Bai Jinxiu's tone was calm after a while, he revealed a strong stubbornness and the spirit of not letting the women shave their eyebrows, which made Di Qing and the others also respectful, and their expressions became solemn.
"The white girl doesn't let her eyebrows, but Di Qing Menglang is gone." Di Qing sincerely apologized.
Bai Jinxiu hurriedly said: "General Di's words are serious, the general is considerate and concerned, and Bai Jinxiu is grateful." ”
The two of them saw that Bai Jinxiu was so serious and solemn, so they didn't say more. The three of them deliberated on the details of the plan overnight and discussed it. , basically all the links are taken into account before they disperse here.
Now that the plan has been perfected, only Wang Zhi is left.
If Wang Zhi does not cooperate, this plan may be aborted.
If Wang Zhi cooperates, the probability of success of this plan is very high.
