Shi Mingzhi didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing the language, sorting out the information in his mind in the past, and soon said: "According to what we know so far, the strongest pirate forces on the southeast coast are the six major pirates of red, yellow, blue, black, white, and blue flags, and the rest of the small pirate forces are all attached to the six major pirate forces.

"Therefore, no matter which island we seize or which pirate force we attack, it is inevitable that it will collide with one of these six major forces, and there is a great possibility of a head-on conflict."

Hearing this, Qi Zhiyuan didn't have any surprise, because he had already understood, Zhuge Mou had said something, and what he said was the same, not far behind. However, Shi Mingzhi's subsequent words made his eyes light up, and he immediately came to his senses.

"The waters near Guangdong Province that I know are suitable for a large number of people to live on Hong Kong Island and Macau Island. Since there were many Westerners and some ordinary people living in Macao, the Qing court set up administrative places such as yamen there. Not far from the southwest, there are two important military strongholds of Qianshanzhai and Xiangshan County. Therefore, Macau Island cannot be taken. ”

"Since the Manchu Tatars settled in the Central Plains and occupied the rivers and mountains of our Han people, they implemented a coastal ban policy and moved the inhabitants of some islands to the interior. So, the vast islands around Hong Kong were empty and uninhabited from that time, and gradually became occupied by pirates. ”

"Therefore, the best place for us to seize it is the large island near Hong Kong Island. Moreover, it is close to Guangzhou Mansion and Huludao, which is convenient for the marshal to come and go. ”

At this time, Shi Mingzhi stopped, looked at Zhuge Mou, and didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious. Zhuge Mou understood and took over the topic.

"Since the place to seek is near Hong Kong Island, then I will take care of the rest. I believe that none of you here are more familiar with the waters around Hong Kong Island than I am. After all, the former Black Flag Gang was active in that sea area and occupied the island of Lantau Island. ”

Zhuge Mou took two breaths of turbidity, straightened his expression, and eased up, and then continued to say slowly: "There are more than 200 islands near Hong Kong Island, including the Kowloon Peninsula, Lantau Island, Lamma Island, the New Territories, etc., among which the New Territories to the west of Hong Kong Island is the largest, followed by the Kowloon Peninsula and Lantau Island. ”

"Due to the recent anti-piracy operation of the Guangzhou Navy Division, Lantau Island was occupied by the Red Flag Gang, second only to the New Territories where Zheng Yisao and others were stationed. Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula are occupied by the Yellow Flag Gang and the Blue Flag Gang respectively, the White Flag Gang is located in the New Territories and an island in the northwest of the Kowloon Peninsula, and the last Green Flag Gang is entrenched in the easternmost Lamma Island. ”

"I think we should attack the Qingqi Gang the most, not only because Lamma Island is suitable as our station, but also because of its geographical location and unique conditions. There are pirate forces in the south, north, and west directions of Lamma Island, and once the sailors of the Qing court attack, those four pirate forces will bear the brunt and serve as our thunderous vigilance. ”

When it comes to Guangzhou sailors, there is no one more suitable than Shi Mingzhi. At this point, Shi Mingzhi took over the topic very interestingly and slowly unfolded.

"Yes, once we occupy Lamma Island, our Thunder will not be encircled and suppressed by the Manchu Tartars in the short term, which is very conducive to strengthening our actual possession of Lamma Island after the war. Because, if the Guangdong sailors want to attack us, they also have to avoid other pirate forces, so they have to go around in circles and raid from the east. ”

"However, in autumn and winter, the wind direction is mostly northwest. It is early autumn and the wind direction may change to northwesterly at any time. Therefore, at least for six months, we don't have to worry about the active attack of those Qing court sailors. ”

"After all, the warships of today are sailing ships. As long as you have the advantage of the wind direction, the speed of the warship will be very fast, and it will occupy the power of time. In a naval battle, the direction of the wind is almost decisive. ”

"This alone will be conducive to our actions in the next two months, concentrating on attacking various large and small pirate forces, adopting the principle of breaking down one by one and proximity, and gradually expanding our sphere of influence, which is the most stable."

From beginning to end, Qi Zhiyuan didn't say a word, he was always listening to the statements of the two and expressing their respective views. Seeing that the opinions of the two have been preliminarily unified, they are very clear. As the coach, Qi Zhiyuan certainly has no shortage of military vision, and he knows more about the situation of the Thunder than the two, so he will express his opinion.

"Two chiefs of staff, what you said is right, I agree with you very much, the most suitable target for our Thunder is Lamma Island."

"Of course, there are also my considerations, not only the geographical location of Lamma Island. It is also because most of our Thunder soldiers have never experienced water warfare, they are all small fights and simulated training, and they have not experienced the kind of regular water warfare between the two sides, and there is still a lack of arranging troops. ”

"Therefore, attacking the six major forces, no, it is the five major forces, of course, the smallest Qingqi gang is the safest. While capturing Lamma Island, you can also train your troops and try your edge for the first time, see the actual difference between Thunder and the five major pirate forces, and prepare for future actions. ”

The words were clear and simple, and they were very sincere and solemn, respecting the views and opinions of the two, and carefully accepting them, which made Shi Mingzhi and Zhuge Mou nod slightly, showing approval.

Seeing this situation, Qi Zhiyuan then stood up, gave a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The two of you will have to work hard in the past two days, I hope you will cooperate closely, and before the operation, train those soldiers again, and tell them about the places to pay attention to during the operation, some key points of naval battles, and reduce the damage as much as possible." ”

Hearing this, in the face of such a solemn entrustment, Zhuge Mou and Shi Mingzhi glanced at each other, their bright eyes flashed, revealing a look of tacit understanding, and at the same time they looked sideways at Qi Zhiyuan, and said in unison: "Regiment leader, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to live up to the marshal's expectations!" ”

Then, the three of them began to talk to each other, discussing the specific details of the operation, step-by-step deduction, what needs to be paid attention to, to ensure that the operation to seize Lamma Island is foolproof, and strive to defeat the Qingqi gang in one fell swoop.

The beginning of autumn is the time of high and cool autumn. After the scorching heat, people especially like the autumn season.

In the back garden of the Governor Yamen of Guangzhou Prefecture, Governor Na Yancheng and his master walked around the fish pond. Looking at the schools of fish vying for food, Na Yancheng said with some interest: "Master, what do you think Yang Pingyou invited me to Baile Gate for?" Should it really be a massage, what kind of TCM physiotherapy? ”

As soon as these words came out, the master who followed immediately said, "My lord, I don't think things are so simple. However, Yang Pingyou is just a branch hall master of the Green Gang, so he can't make any waves? What's more, the bathroom on the second floor of Paramount is really comfortable, especially the massage, which is really enjoyable, and it doesn't matter if you go for a trip to relieve the tiredness of the day? ”

Speaking of which, Na Yancheng seemed to be nostalgic for all kinds of fun in Paramount, and seemed to be thinking, guessing Yang Bingyou's intentions, why did he invite himself? I couldn't help but look high in the sky, my eyes were gloomy, and I stood there.

Governor Yamen, in the back yamen, Zhao Shanqing sat upright with some unhappiness, listening to Li Lianying's narration: "Brother-in-law, you can go for a while, Yang and I are good friends." Moreover, in the days to come, his Green Gang can help me settle a lot of things. Even if it's not for my sake, for my sister's sake, you'll go for it~"

Zhao Shanqing snorted coldly, and said quietly: "What a good friend?" What settles things? I think it's Yang Pingyou who gives you benefits! In this city of Guangzhou, who dares to find your fault, and how many things are uneven? If I can't settle evenly, what can he do as a gang leader? ”

"I see that your real intention is not on Yang Bingyou's invitation, but you still want me to go to Paramount again, do another free publicity for your business, and make a lot of money with my momentum!"

All of a sudden, he was revealed what he was thinking. Li Lianying couldn't help but look embarrassed, a little bright, and didn't know what to say?

In the office of the Guangdong Customs Department, the superintendent Yi Ergetu sat in front of the bookcase, his eyes were faint, his eyes were constantly flickering, and he muttered to himself: "What does this Yang Bingyou want to do?" On weekdays, there is no contact with me, let alone any serious conflicts or entanglements of interests. Now with such a warm invitation, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, and what attention is paid to? (To be continued.) )
