Chapter 152: Prelude to the Great War!

"This is Zheng Lianchang's handwritten letter?" Sun Quanmou stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and his eyes widened again, but the handwriting on the letter paper sandwiched in the official document did not change in the slightest.

Lin Guoliang, the deputy general next to him, took the letter over, looked at it carefully, and nodded affirmatively: "Lord Commander, although the lower officials are not sure whether this is Zheng Lianchang's handwriting, but this seal letter cannot be fake, this is the soldier seal letter under Zheng Zhilong in the previous dynasty." Zheng Lianchang is a descendant of Zheng Jian, a brave general under Zheng Zhilong, and he uses this seal. ”

Sun Quanmou rubbed his head, he felt that he was having some difficulty breathing, what the hell is going on? In less than ten days, that Liang Pengfei actually thought of a solution, issued a war letter, and threatened to challenge the Red Flag Gang, but as a result, Zheng Lianchang actually ......, "Lord Commander, according to the news sent back by our spy clipper, the Zheng family's fleet will arrive at the predetermined location in the north of the Yangbei at the earliest, tomorrow night at the earliest, and early in the morning after tomorrow at the latest." Wu Liang, the general manager of Yingqian, glanced at Sun Quanmou, who had not reacted for a long time like a dumb goose, cleared his throat and reminded.

"How many men and horses did they dispatch?" Sun Quanmou threw the official document on the desk and asked in a deep voice.

"According to our spy clippers, almost all of the Red Flag Gang's warships are ready to go." Wu Liang thought about it and told Sun Quanmou the answer.

Sun Quanmou looked at the messenger sent by Liang Peng quietly in front of him, Wu Liang, a small battalion commander, and felt a little angry in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that he would seduce Zheng Lianchang with a few empty words, if he knew that it was so simple, how could he give this task to Liang Pengfei?

It's tantamount to giving that guy a great credit for no reason. "Zheng Lianchang, Zheng Lianchang, are you stupid, a dignified giant of the Tan family, who shocked two wide, actually let a little deflated three hook out of the nest." Sun Quanmou was sad and indignant, like an aunt who was complacent about taking five cents from the hawker when she was just buying vegetables, and finally found out that the fifty yuan that the vendor found for her was actually counterfeit.

"I don't know what else the chief soldier has ordered, and the subordinate should return to the garrison." After waiting for a long time, I only saw this General Sun Dabing rolling his eyes wildly, and Wu Liang, the general manager of the battalion, had to bite the bullet and open his mouth again.

--------------------

"Lord Commander, since the plan to lure the enemy has been completed, without further ado, we should still make preparations as soon as possible." Huang Biao, the general next to him, also stood up and spoke.

Sun Quanmou nodded, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Wu Liang: "It's okay, tell Liang Shoubei that the words of this general soldier before are counted, since he has successfully lured the enemy, when our army fights against the Zheng thief, let him immediately attack Lantau Island, the Zheng family's lair, there must be no mistake." Okay, there you go. ”

"The subordinate obeys." Wu Liang, the commander of the battalion, opened his mouth, but he really didn't dare to say much about this general soldier who looked like he didn't like him, so he had to respectfully accept the order.

"Lord Commander, do you need to let Liang Garrison go to meet with Deputy General Lin and then obey Deputy General Lin's dispatch?" Huang Biao couldn't help but interject and asked.

"No need, Lord Admiral sent him under my command, not under the command of Vice General Lin, it is really inappropriate for him to listen to Vice General Lin, this matter is so decided." Sun Quanmou wished that Liang Pengfei would die alone. Let him climb Lin Guoliang's army, how can he let him be cannon fodder?

Huang Biao could only retreat to his position stupidly, although he didn't expect that Liang Pengfei, an impulsive guy, would actually use this method to make Zheng Lianchang take the bait, but the problem is that good luck will not always accompany a person.

"I just hope that the kid won't get carried away by the temporary success and rush to his death." Huang Biao could only comfort himself like this.

"Lord Commander, I am afraid that the strength in our hands is only comparable to that of the Zheng family, should we report the military situation to Admiral Zhao and Governor Fu again, and let them send several battalions of sailors over." One of the divisions stepped forward and offered his opinion.

"What, scared?" Sun Quanmou glanced at this Du Si and snorted disdainfully: "There are more than 10,000 water thieves, how can you be the enemy of my dignified king?!" In the past, when the general soldier followed Cai Du in Taiwan to fight against those anti-chaos thieves, which time was not to face several times the enemy, don't look at the many people of those water bandits, they are really just a group of fools with little knowledge, in the eyes of this general soldier, such opponents are just local chickens and dogs. ”

“…… What the Chief Soldier said is very true, but I think that it is better to think about it in the long run, after all, the military orders given to me by Governor Fu and Admiral Zhao are for us to contain the main force of Zheng's naval division, so that Vice General Lin and General Qian can calmly take their lair and cut off the Red Flag Gang in one fell swoop. Lin Guoliang cleared his throat and said. His expression is not very good, mainly because this Sun Da soldier does not take these rampant pirates in his eyes, this is not a good thing, Lin Guoliang has seen it, but the problem is that the official level crushes people to death, I am afraid that even if he speaks to obstruct it, this interested general soldier will have to blame his head at that time, and he can only bring out the two top bosses of Fukangan and Zhao Chenglan.

"Okay, needless to say, this general army has its own opinions, and the order is to let the three armies stand by, and tomorrow morning, they will march to the north of Lingding Ocean, and be ready to fight to the death with the enemy at any time." General Sun waved his hand in high spirits, as if those Zheng family pirates were just a group of ordinary people who couldn't survive anymore and could only carry hoes and kitchen knives, and sat on a boat board under their buttocks. It felt like he was already standing on a tall flagship, and he saw the Red Flag Gang fall before his eyes.

--------------------

"Daddy, not only our Red Flag Gang, but you also asked the second uncle to invite Xu Sanyan of the Green Flag Gang, isn't this too much to give those guys face." Standing on the dock, watching the elite soldiers of the Zheng family gather on the dock to board the ship, Zheng Wenxian, who was ordered by his father Zheng Lianchang to stay to recuperate from his injuries and guard the island by the way, was quite disapproving.

Zheng Lianchang stroked his long white beard and said with a faint smile: "Wen Xian, do you think that I am worth your father and me doing so much for the sake of a mere battle letter?" Last night, our old Zheng family was nailed in the sailor, but news had already come that the Guangdong sailor had gathered more than 100 warships and nearly 10,000 horses in Qi'ao. ”

Zheng Wenxian couldn't help but be stunned: "Daddy, do you mean that that kid sent a war letter just to set up a situation for our Zheng family, so that we can't throw ourselves into the net?" ”

"I'm afraid it's just like this, but it's a pity that this kid is a little tender, our Zheng family, since the time of the Ming Dynasty, can stand tall at the mouth of the Pearl River, how can it be easy to with?" Zheng Lianchang's face was arrogant, looking at the majestic battleship in the distance from the dock. "The Guangdong Naval Division, even if you add Lin Guangyu and Qian Bangyan, who are already lurking on Dahengqin Island, are just a group of mediocre people, and the battleship in their hands is not as good as my Zheng family's battleship, why is the old man afraid? Wanting to encircle and annihilate the old man is just a joke. ”

"Daddy, I know it's a bureau, what do you mean...... Is it just a calculation? Xu Sanyan, who united with the Green Flag Gang, swallowed this water master? Zheng Wenxian felt a little embarrassed, it seems that his father's vision is indeed much broader and much broader than his own.

"Yes, Xu Sanyan of the Green Flag Gang also has six or seven thousand people who can fight well, and our Zheng family has been rampant in the Pearl River Estuary for a long time, and they are familiar with waterways, and they are even better at attacking and disturbing battles, as long as they give Xu Sanyan enough sweetness, not to mention letting him completely solve the court bias master, but drag them down, Xu Sanyan still has this ability."

"As for the sailors of this Qiao, even if they can't gather and annihilate them, as long as they are crippled, then the defense of the sailors in Guangzhou is equivalent to only four superintendent battalions. At that time, our old Zheng family, even if they dominate the Pearl River waterway, who can stand me in Liangguang? Zheng Lianchang sneered proudly a few times, and then said to Zheng Wenxian: "For my father to lead the army out to fight, here is up to you and our Zheng family's descendants to garrison, don't be careless." ”

"Daddy, don't worry, my Zheng family has been operating in Lantau Island for many years, and this place has long been impregnable, this shrimp beard is a fort, my son doesn't dare to say anything else, at least it will not be a problem to be able to stop a strong enemy in March and May." Zheng Wenxian looked back at the wharf not far away, the shrimp beard row fort as tall as a city tower, and the thick wall was like a giant on the shore, stuck between the two mountain cliffs, and the entire shrimp beard row was safely guarded.

"Those three thousand Zheng family children handed over to you by Daddy are the foundation of our old Zheng family, in short, it is better to be careful in everything." Zheng Lianchang glanced at the island opposite the shrimp whisker row, which meant something authentic.

"Daddy, don't worry, my son has checked it, and everything is safe." Zheng Wenxian nodded with a comprehension and smiled. Looking at that inconspicuous island, it is on that small island, but it is buried the wealth obtained by their Zheng clan from the former Ming Dynasty to the present, nearly one hundred and fifty years, this is definitely not a small amount, I am afraid that even if it is the lord of a country, I am afraid that I will be so jealous that I want to steal the knife and fight hard to rob it.

On the dock of the Xin'an camp, the soldiers of the Xin'an camp of the Guangdong Navy Division were marching in line towards the warships moored on the shore, although they did not know where their destination was, but they firmly believed in one thing, that is, Liang Pengfei would definitely be able to let them taste the fruits of victory.

Just beside Liang Pengfei, Sun Shijie had a wry smile on his face, and an indescribable melancholy, even if he wanted a bad head, he couldn't understand why the Zheng family knew that it was a bureau and rushed up to die, but when he heard the information that the young master Liang didn't know where to get it, after the red flag helped the Zheng family unite with the green flag to help the Xu family jointly attack the court sailors, Sun Shijie began to worry about the safety of his proprietor, the eldest young master Liang.

But the problem is that the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, and now Sun Shijie feels like that unlucky eunuch, racking his brains and trying his lips and tongues, wanting to tell Liang Pengfei that with more than 1,000 people here, it is extremely unrealistic to attack the Zheng family's lair, and it is even very likely that he will even take his life into it.

But the problem is that Liang Pengfei is like a king with a scale in his stomach, smiling and thinking that what he said is reasonable, but what should he do.

"Mr. Sun, don't be too anxious, the problems you are considering do exist, but I don't think it's a big problem, besides, Liang is not just these soldiers in the past this time." Liang Pengfei grinned and said, "Do you think that I will use these eight-pound and twelve-pound small broken cannons to attack the nest that the Zheng family has operated for more than a hundred years?" Although Master Ben likes to take risks, he will never be stupid. ”

Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, Sun Shijie simply closed his eyes and recuperated and stopped talking, anyway, it was useless to say too much now, it was better to wait and see what happened.

At the same time, at the mouth of the Crab King Island Gorge, slowly sailed out of a towering and tall battleship, on the towering mast, is the Liang family battle flag carefully designed by the young master Liang, a hideous shark skeleton flag, and a big, bloody Liang flag, under the battle flag, Liang Yuanxia Liang Daguan muttered a cigarette with tin foil in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves, opened his neckline, and exposed his dark chest hair standing on the bow of the boat, plagiarism and barbarism seemed to be adjectives specially designed for him, behind him, It's the same barbaric and fierce old Liang pirates.

Liang Daguan's hand patted the body of a giant cannon behind him that was a little too big, his eyes were doted as if he was looking at his own child, the huge cannon body that made people have a breathless oppressive force was exuding a dark light, and the hideous muzzle was enough for Liang Daguan to stuff his whole head into it and it was too spacious.

This is the trophy that Liang Pengfei looted from the governor of Luzon, Spain, a thirty-two-pound shore defense cannon, but there are only two of these giant shore guns in total, and this kind of heavy artillery with a range of more than four and a half miles, Liang Daguan has fought small to large, and it is really the first time I have seen it.

It was precisely because of the resolute request of his son Liang Pengfei that in order to dismantle the two 32-pounder cannons that had been pulled from Luzon to King Crab Island again and put them on the battleship, the 300 or so people delayed for a full four hours to get them.

"With this thing, let alone a stone wall, even if it's a fucking copper wall, it can tear down the fucking shit!" Liang Daguan thought beautifully.

"Tell the brothers, work hard, before dawn tomorrow, we must bypass the court sailors on Dahengqin Island, arrive at the Lianding Waterway, meet my son, and go to the lair of the Zheng family to help the Red Flag!" Liang Yuanxia spit the cigarette butt into the sea and roared loudly in a rough voice.

"Yes! Brothers, work hard. Countless pirates of the old Liang family screamed, responded, and puffed up their sails, and the fleet of seven warships, like a group of huge white sharks, cruised towards the sea in the distance.
