The next night, Chao Sheng arrived as scheduled, the two sat in prison, looked at each other, Chao Sheng's expression was so excited and expectant, with inexplicable excitement, after sitting down, Yang Lin did not have any opening remarks, and said directly: "Chao Sheng, about the actions of the Kongtong Army and Thunder, I think you should know, and your task is to integrate the Qilin Gang and form the Qilin Army." www.biquge.info Within two days, the various detachments that had been secretly trained in the deep mountains and old forests were integrated, and two days later, that is, on the day I was beheaded, I had to form a Qilin Army and assemble twenty miles outside the North City Gate. ”

"Chief Instructor Chao, are you confident that you can complete this task?" Yang Lin's face was smiling, and his expression was very interesting, with the taste of excitement.

"Of course I have confidence and guarantee to complete the task~!" Although he was sitting, Chao Sheng's body was still tense, his back was straight, he saluted a standard military salute, and said in a low voice, as if in order to prove that he was not talking big, Chao Sheng added another explanation.

"Marshal, although the Qilin Gang has nearly 100,000 people, all over Fujian and Guangdong. However, it really belongs to the elite, and there are only 50,000 people who have undergone military training. Although there are quite a few 50,000 people, they are scattered in the two provinces, but they are not scattered and scattered, but are organized into various state capitals and counties. ”

"As soon as the order arrives and the carrier pigeon comes out, even the company located in Shaowufu, Fujian, with their foot strength and excellent military quality, as long as they march rapidly for two consecutive days, they will be able to reach the vicinity of Guangzhou City."

Yang Lin thought about it, it was true, it was about the same as what he estimated, Chao Sheng was quite rational, he didn't say much, he seemed to think of something, his face was solemn, and he asked confirmatively: "What about the weapon?" Can all kinds of guns, grenades, mines and other weapons guarantee the supply of 50,000 people? ”

Chao Sheng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test temporarily, the words just now met Yang Lin's request, and when he heard the ensuing question, he did not feel the slightest nervousness, but exuded a faint sense of confidence, relaxed a lot, and said to the answer: "Report to the marshal, the weapon has long been ready." ”

After a pause, he coughed lightly twice, and groaned slightly, as if he was organizing his language, and as if he was brewing emotions, and then continued: "In normal times, every time I practice, all kinds of firearms and ammunition are kept in stock at 100,000 people. Moreover, our arsenals in the deep mountains and old forests are in a state of preparation, and once a major war breaks out, they will be able to immediately put into operation to produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, and the reserves of various iron and copper raw materials are sufficient, which is enough for the continuous production of the arsenal. ”

After being reminded by Chao Sheng, Yang Lin remembered that since the White Lotus Sect in the southwest has become more and more troublesome, coupled with various natural and man-made disasters, there have been hundreds of thousands of victims who have flocked to Guangdong in the past two years. Therefore, when Yang Lin ordered Thunder, the Qilin Gang, and the Deaf and Dumb Hall to absorb some young adults, the others were secretly arranged to go deep in the mountains and old forests to form villages and surround their grain depots and arsenals.

Not only did these villages work hard, allowing Yang Lin to store more grain and grass, but in his spare time, he also had to receive various trainings and skills to produce and assemble weapons, and to act as a worker in the arsenal.

Therefore, Yang Lin now not only has nearly 200,000 combat soldiers, but also many logistics supply personnel, responsible for food production, weapon manufacturing and so on.

After a short period of calm, sorting out his thoughts, Yang Lin nodded lightly, and said slowly: "In this case, I can tell those people tomorrow and ask them to take out all the stored iron and copper raw materials and transport them to the arsenal for the production of weapons and ammunition immediately." ”

Chao Sheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yang Lin to be in such a hurry, and immediately let the various arsenals be put into production and operated. As I said just now, the current reserves of weapons and ammunition are enough for 100,000 people to consume, not to mention that the arsenal on the Thunder side has been running all the time, constantly producing all kinds of weapons and ammunition.

Although he was puzzled and puzzled, Chao Sheng still replied: "Yes, marshal!" ”

From beginning to end, Yang Lin was observing the changes in Chao Sheng's expression, although he probably guessed the incomprehensible meaning in Chao Sheng's heart, but he didn't explain, the topic changed, and he said: "Chao Sheng, in addition to the task of forming the Qilin Army, you have another important task..."

Almost instinctively, Yang Lin's words were interrupted by reflex, and he asked excitedly and hurriedly: "Marshal, what task?" ”

Yang Lin didn't care about his words being interrupted, and as soon as Chao Sheng finished speaking, he continued: "The day after tomorrow, you find Zhao Hu, cooperate with him, and take the green camp of the Guangzhou Navy Division in our hands. ”

"No, Marshal, although the combat effectiveness of the Qing army is not very good, especially the Green Battalion, all kinds of weapons and equipment are ridiculously poor, and there are not even a few decent warships. However, it was also the army of the Qing court, with two or three thousand men. If Zhao Hu and I act hastily and in a hurry, even if we take down the green camp in the end, we will make a lot of noise, so won't it disrupt your plan? ”

With a smile and a slight shake of his head full of deep meaning, Yang Lin said slowly: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, if it is just with the people of the Qilin Gang, it is indeed a surprise to the snake, even if you take the green camp, you will be discovered by the various yamen of the Tartars, especially the other garrisons." But am I that stupid? Would such a stupid decision be made? ”

"Uh... No—" Chao Sheng's head shook like a rattle, and he replied immediately.

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, there are our people in the green camp, almost eighty percent, you just need to cooperate with Zhao Hu's actions, send some gangs to escort weapons, go to the green camp, and distribute our advanced weapons to our people, there is basically no difficulty."

"Occupy an absolute advantage, as long as an hour can complete the task, and the green revenue will be in our hands." Yang Lin emphasized again, faintly a little unmeaningful.

"Really, marshal, how did I not know about this?" Chao Sheng did not doubt Yang Lin's words, it was completely out of curiosity, and it was also a rigorous reconfirmation of the soldiers.

"Of course, why lie to you? The reason why you don't know, except for those brothers in the green camp, there are only two people in the outside world who know about this matter, one is me, and the other is Zhao Hu, which is why I named him and asked him to participate. ”

At this time, as if he had thought of something, Yang Lin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "By the way, before you and Zhao Hu act, call Shi Mingzhi, so that the operation of the green battalion will be smoother, and some unnecessary casualties will be reduced, and there will be fewer conflicts." ”

"Marshal, why? Why do you have to pull Shi Mingzhi to act together? Chao Sheng looked confused and asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, in the past, Shi Mingzhi once served as the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, and he had a very good relationship with his old department." Yang Lin knew that Chao Sheng didn't know Shi Mingzhi's past, so he said.

The smart soldier doesn't need to explain too much, just a little bit, so Chao Sheng didn't ask again, he already knew Yang Lin's intentions.

At the same time, without any pause, Yang Lin continued: "After you have incorporated the Green Battalion, at dawn, you will immediately move eastward, move closer to Xiangshan County and the Qing army garrison in Qianshanzhai, and wait for an opportunity to move. ”

Not only that, but at that time, there will be thunderous warships participating in the operation, cruising at the mouth of the Pearl River. Thunder is not only to cooperate with you to capture Macao, but also to block the mouth of the Pearl River. ”

"I have only one request for you, to be precise, for Zhao Hu, that is, to control Macao and the nearby waters, only allow merchant ships to enter the Pearl River, not to go out, except for our people, once someone violates this principle, they will not be pardoned! Moreover, especially those foreigners, except for resisting the troublemakers and killings, everyone else gathered in a certain place in the interior and was taken into custody. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it today, there is not much time left for you, only two days, hurry back quickly, the sooner you arrange it, the better."

"Well, okay, marshal, I'll go first, don't worry, I promise to complete the task you assigned~!" (To be continued.) )
