Guangzhou City, the General's Mansion, the back office, in the hall, at this time, the Guangzhou Navy Admiral Sun Chuanmou sat upright, and there was a majestic person sitting on the right side, with a square face full of beards, this big man was the Guangzhou General Sai Chong'a, the master of the General's Mansion, and the presiding officer of the meeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not only that, but there are also generals from all sides below, all of whom are the leaders of the army and naval divisions of Guangdong Province, Lin Guoliang, deputy general of the Guangzhou Naval Division, Lin Fa, and Xu Tinggui, the general of the Guangzhou Naval Division, are in the column, located on the left side, and they are all people of the Guangzhou Naval Division. On the right, however, are the land generals of all sides, responsible for the various batteries and garrisons along the Pearl River estuary, such as the generals of the infantry, water, and cavalry of the former cottage.

Sai Chong'a has the roughness of a soldier, and as a Manchurian, he has a trace of unscrupulousness, looking at the many generals below, and said loudly: "Generals, the gang dispute in Guangzhou Mansion has been forcibly blocked by me, press it." He did not hesitate to tear his face and sent a large number of bird-gun soldiers to put on a strong posture, just for the peace of Guangzhou City and to ensure the stability of the rear, so as to complete the tasks assigned by the military department, exterminate those bold and reckless Red Banner gangs, and dare to plunder the envoys of our vassal states of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"All of you here are capable generals of the Guangzhou Prefecture, with heavy troops, or the commanders of the Guangzhou Navy, or the heads of various strategic fortresses along the coast, do you have any good strategies for this anti-piracy operation?"

The encirclement and suppression of pirates belongs to naval warfare, and the Guangzhou Navy Division is the protagonist, the main force of this operation, and the most powerful to speak, everyone in the hall understands it in their hearts. As a result, the army generals in charge of the coastal approach were silent and silent. However, Lin Guoliang, the deputy general of the Guangzhou Water Division, and others were the same, and no one spoke.

At this moment, the generals on both sides below have a consensus in their hearts, that is, the gun shoots the first bird, this kind of limelight occasion, the boss has not yet expressed his position, who dares to speak?

After not getting a response from everyone for a long time, Sai Chong'a showed a trace of impatience, frowned, looked at the generals below again, and saw that the generals of the Guangzhou Navy Division on the left were mostly strange, and the corners of his eyes faintly looked at his left side from time to time, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart, and looked sideways at Sun Chuanmou.

"Admiral Sun, last year, our Guangzhou Mansion also carried out an encirclement and suppression of pirates, and couldn't help but eliminate the Black Flag Gang, and even killed the leader Guo Podai. As the commander and person in charge of that operation, Lord Admiral, should you say something? After all, when it comes to encircling pirates, no one has a better say than you. ”

Sun Chuanmou, who was originally serious, showed a hint of pride, faintly exuding a sense of superiority, and when he heard the mention of himself, especially the compliment in Sai Chong'a's words, he couldn't help but raise his head, and said loudly: "Since the general is warmly invited, then it will be disrespectful to the next, and tell me what you think in your chest." ”

After a short period of pretense, he straightened his chest and held his official hat, and Sun Chuanmou said slowly: "General Sai, this operation is different from the past, the target of encirclement and suppression is the Red Flag Gang, and its strength ranks first among the six major pirate forces. Moreover, after another cold winter of recuperation, it absorbed the remnants of the Black Flag Gang, occupied Lantau Island, and further expanded its power, and its strength was far greater than before. ”

Therefore, out of prudence, in order to ensure the completion of this mission and live up to the emperor's grace, it is necessary to have a detailed plan and careful deployment. It is necessary not only to operate at sea, but also to be prepared along the Pearl River, shoulder the responsibility of defending and assisting operations at sea, and provide artillery support. ”

Sai Chong A was very surprised, he didn't expect Sun Chuanmou's silence, what he said was so reasonable, convincing, full of overall vision, and overall thinking, he couldn't help nodding frequently, feeling very reasonable. Although he recognized it in his heart, as a general, Sai Chong'a still had a unique opinion, knowing that Sun Chuanmou was talking about the overall situation and directional strategies, and there was no substantive content or specific details of the action.

"That, Admiral Sun, what you said is right, I don't know if there is a detailed military plan and related deployments, such as specific operational details."

Sun Chuanmou was slightly stunned, his eloquent conversation was interrupted, a trace of unhappiness appeared in the corners of his eyes, and it was fleeting, and then he said: "En... Since General Sai said it, then there will be no more procrastination, and the details of the operation to encircle and suppress pirates, before coming, I have discussed with the subordinates of the Guangzhou Navy Division and studied everything about the Red Flag Gang. Since there are too many details of the specific operation, I will let my assistant general talk about it. Ignorance... What does the general think? What do you think? ”

"Well, okay, anyone can say it, I have no opinion, as long as there is a plan of action." Sai Chong nodded and agreed softly.

Seeing this situation, Lin Guoliang, who was at the top of the left side, couldn't wait for a long time, and wanted to show his talent with great interest. Seeing his boss's acquiescence and looking at himself, Sun Chuanmou nodded, stood up, and began to report the details of the military operation that had been discussed.

"Lord Admiral, General Sai, the Red Banner Gang is a rabble entrenched in the New Territories and Lantau Island, if you want to completely exterminate and disintegrate him, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the pirates on Lantau Island, the absolute first battlefield. Once the war began, the pirates signed a "public treaty" with each other, forming an alliance and advancing and retreating together. As a result, our sailors will be threatened by other pirate forces. ”

As soon as the topic unfolded and the details of the specific operation were discussed, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Especially Lin Guoliang's worried words, it is likely that he will face the joint attack of other pirates, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense, Sai Chong'a frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and subconsciously asked: "In this way, when I attacked the Black Flag Gang last year, why didn't I see other pirates attacking and harassing it?" ”

As the assistant general and second-in-command of the Guangzhou Navy Division, Lin Guoliang knows a lot about pirates in the waters of the Pearl River. Therefore, as soon as Sai Chong asked a question, he immediately replied: "General Sai, the Red Flag Gang and the Black Flag Gang have always had grievances and entanglements, and even if there is a covenant in the "Public Covenant", it cannot alleviate the relationship between the two. In addition, the sailors took a surprise attack, and the battle came suddenly. So, last year's operation went very smoothly and achieved very good results. ”

Sai Chong'a listened with relish, and looked like he suddenly realized, and when he talked about last year's operation to exterminate the Black Flag Gang, he was like saying that he was bald, and his face was full of appreciation, and he muttered to himself: "I heard that in that anti-piracy operation, the late Shi Mingzhi Shi General Soldier was very heroic, and led the people to fight against the pirates' lair regardless of life and death, and he was the first soldier. It's a pity that he is too greedy, and he is greedy for the pension of the dead soldiers, hey... It's a pity..."

Everyone present is a prominent figure in Guangzhou Prefecture, who doesn't know the inside story of Shi Mingzhi's embezzlement of pensions? At this moment, listening to Sai Chong's sighs, they were all silent, as if they hadn't heard it, but Sun Chuanmou on one side had a gloomy face and was very embarrassed.

Suddenly, there was a cold scene in the hall, Sai Chong Ah reacted at this time, he was unintentional, but he lost his words, touched someone's sensitivity, the corner of his eye skimmed the left side, and hurriedly snorted, and said loudly: "Hehe, Vice General Lin, don't turn over the old yellow calendar, continue the topic just now." ”

The tense and heavy atmosphere was suddenly released, not so nervous, Lin Guoliang was not silent anymore, and his voice sounded softly again, echoing in the hall.

"Although there will be pressure from other pirate forces, due to the dominance of the Red Flag Gang, it seriously threatens the survival of other pirate forces. So, the situation is not as bad as imagined. At the very least, at the beginning, we will attack the Red Flag Gang on Lantau Island, and we will not be disturbed by other pirate forces. ”

The people present are all generals of one side, or conspirators who are well versed in the city government, and they know the truth of it, and they know what is the basis for Lin Guoliang's statement? There is no shortage of these internally, whether it is the official or the gang forces walking in the shadows. Therefore, everyone's hearts were like mirrors, although their faces were calm, but they also acquiesced, and no one refuted.

With Lin Guoliang's narration, the topic gradually deepened, and various military plans and details came out one after another, ranging from the specific arrangement of troops, the mutual cooperation between warships, to the coordination and command of various troops. (To be continued.) )
