Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Yang Lin interjected: "By the way, Ah Sheng, how is Huo Xiong's plan being implemented?" How many state capitals have been distributed so far? Have the three provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang been arranged? ”

Ah Sheng was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought about Yang Lin's repeated questions, he immediately reflected it, understood what he was asking, seemed to be very familiar, and opened his mouth and said: "Qiyu Hall Master, according to the information transmitted back by Commander Huo, the three provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang have all arranged secret hands, as long as it is a slightly larger place, there are our people near the city gate, lurking there." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So far, as far as I know, our secret hand has spread to the north to Shandong, west to Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places. ”

"Well, it's about the same as I expected, after all, it doesn't take much manpower to steal hands, just buy a few houses near each city gate, and equip each person with a machine gun, so that the future army can attack the city." Yang Lin nodded calmly and said thoughtfully.

Suddenly, the secret room was quiet, and Yang Lin's heart was also quickly grasping, and he clearly realized that raising food was his current top priority, and he had to hoard a large amount of food in case of emergency, and prepare for a big war that could break out at any time. Moreover, with the application of the steam engine and the cooperation agreement reached with Wang Cong'er, their own forces can continuously obtain copper and iron raw materials, and then cooperate with the continuous operation of the arsenal on the three major islands of Hong Kong, and all kinds of modern weapons have been produced one after another to equip various forces.

Thoughts were fleeting, Yang Lin knew that now was not the time to be silent, so he turned his head to look at Zhuge Mou and Shi Mingzhi, and said in a deep voice: "Staff Zhuge , Staff Officer Shi, although the current thunder is strong enough, it can sweep through many forces in the Southeast China Sea, and the number of troops has reached tens of thousands. However, this is not what I want, and I am not just looking for him in the coastal areas. ”

"From beginning to end, my expectation for Thunder is not only in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, but also in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins. Once we start from Guangdong, Thunder must have the ability to block the important waters of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River as quickly as possible, so that the Qing court will not be able to increase troops to the south, so as to win time for us to seize all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time shoulder the task of attacking and disturbing the Beijing division from the waterway. ”

As military personnel, Chao Sheng, Zhuge Mou, and Shi Mingzhi immediately understood and understood the importance of the military task of Thunder. Not only that, but the three have a potential consensus that the Thunder have another important task, and that is transportation. Once the army reached the banks of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the Thunder warships not only had to carry out a northward landing operation, but also helped the army to cross the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, so that with the momentum of ten thousand jun, all the way to the north, smashed the Yellow Dragon, and the troops approached the Beijing Division, destroying the Qing court in the shortest possible time.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Mou stood up and suggested: "Marshal, as time goes by, Thunder is also growing day by day, with more and more troops, I think that Thunder can now organize some warship formations to go all the way north, cruising in the waters of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, attacking the Qing court's transportation, so that the grain in the south cannot be transported smoothly to the north, and the water transportation is paralyzed." At the same time, from the strategic perspective of the overall situation, this also achieved the effect of cutting the Qing court into three parts, and within a certain period of time, the three major parts of the Manchurian Tatar army could only face each other across the water, but could not cross the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to rescue each other. ”

"Once the waterway of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is controlled by us, the Manchurian Tartars will suffer a heavy blow, and the Qing court's supply lifeline to the troops on the Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Chu fronts will be completely cut off by us, and there will be a vacuum in the supply of grain and grass in the short term, and relatively speaking, they can only transport grain and grass to the front line by land. In this way, the White Lotus Sect will occupy a favorable situation and be powerful, thus containing more Manchurian Tatar troops, unable to look north and aid from the east. ”

At the same time, Shi Mingzhi also said: "Not only that, with the strength of the Thunder Ship and the strength of the artillery, we can take advantage of the situation to destroy all the sailors of the Tartars in one fell swoop, prepare for future actions, and firmly control the sea in our hands." ”

As the chief instructor, born in the army, Chao Sheng's military quality is absolutely excellent, and he does not lose his strategic vision, therefore, listening to the excited words of the two, he said in a sonorous voice: "Marshal, and not only that, as long as the Thunder and the army cooperate properly, combined with the early arrangement in various cities, at most one year, our army can sweep the north and south of the river, take the land of Beijing in one fell swoop, and give the Manchu Qing Dynasty a salary from the bottom of the kettle, so as to occupy half of the country, absolutely no problem, starting from Guangzhou, Guangxi, and going directly to the land of Beijing, It will be our occupation. ”

Although I don't know where Yang Lin got such great self-confidence, he can destroy the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and shake the national capital of the Tartars in one year, but Ah Sheng, Qu Kun and Wang Zhizheng still listened to it with relish, and their eyes burst with light, and they thought it was true! Because the three of them know that whether it is Shi Mingzhi, Zhuge Mou, or Yang Lin and Chao Sheng, they are all calm people, and they are by no means braggarts, and they will never say this if they are not very sure.

Although Yang Lin did not say yes or no, the expression on his face said everything, and the excitement was overflowing, which supported Zhuge Mou's argument from the side. At this time, Wang Zhizheng suddenly said: "Hall Master, you asked me to prepare for the treatment of knife and gun wounds, the gold sore medicine has almost been stocked, do you still want to keep stockpiling?" ”

"Of course, keep buying, the more you have in reserve, the better, and the more the merrier. If the silver is not enough, take it from Ah Kun. After all, according to the current situation, Paramount is not a period of expansion, but a moment of vigorous profitability, and the daily profit is enough to support this expenditure, which is more than enough. What's more, Jishitang is also in the midst of making money. Yang Lin's face was calm, without any hesitation.

"Yes, hall master." Although he is old, Wang Zhizheng's voice is still loud.

However, Yang Lin's words did not end, and he followed up and asked, "Elder Wang, I don't know how you are studying Western medicine?" Has the doctor trained to treat gunshot wounds? ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhizheng couldn't help but smile faintly, and said a little proudly: "Hall Master, for Western medicine, I don't dare to say that I have studied it thoroughly, and I still have seven or eight points of essence in it, after all, it has only been three years since I have been in contact with Western medicine. As for the doctors who specialize in treating wounds caused by muskets, so far, I have trained a number of more than 200 people, most of whom have been sent to the Kongtong Mountain base area and incorporated into the Kongtong army. ”

At this moment, Yang Lin's face shone with excitement, for a modern person, he knows the importance of a surgeon, especially in terms of gun trauma. With a large number of surgeons as the backing, it means that the casualty rate of soldiers has been greatly reduced, although Yang Lin has an absolute advantage in firearms, with advanced weapons such as machine guns and mortars, compared to that era.

All of a sudden, Yang Lin was full of ambition, and his chest was surging with excitement, wanting to point out the country, wanting to wave his troops up, and wanting to destroy the Qing court in one fell swoop, a dynasty that delayed China for a hundred years. However, Yang Lin is still rational, and he is not immersed in self-satisfaction and cannot extricate himself. However, the glittering light in his eyes shows that he still has a great ambition in his chest, but he is suppressing it, just for an opportunity, waiting for the best opportunity to overthrow the Qing court.

Looking around, the excitement in his heart gradually cooled down, and he returned to calm, Yang Lin's gaze finally stayed on Chao Sheng's body, and said in a deep voice: "Instructor Chao, now I will teach you a task." ”

Yang Lin paused, waiting for the other party's statement: "Marshal, please speak, your subordinates will definitely go all out!" (To be continued.) )
