These captured warships have a total of 40,000 tons, and if these warships are not returned, then the Pingshan Navy will increase the size of warships by more than 40,000 tons, and it will also be ranked in this world.

There were more than 2,000 captives, which seems to be not much, but if the countries were to redeem them, even if one person had 100 taels of silver, it would have been more than 2 million taels of silver.

Besides, the ransom fee of many officers is not 100 taels of silver that can be sent Hu Lin looked at the list and patted Xiong Qing's thigh with some excitement.

"General, you are happy first, I will move a position first!" When Xiong Qing couldn't stand Hu Lin's excitement, he slapped his leg to vent, and quickly moved the chair a little below.

"Huh? Oh well! Hu Lin saw what was going on and smiled awkwardly. This time the harvest is good, give the Air Force a credit, and give them a bonus when you go back! ”

Hu Lin was still so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, turned his head to Zhu Hongfei, and commanded with a smile.

"General, our navy also has merit, and it is our navy's people who received these warships! You can't favor one over the other, and don't let me be blocked by the people below when the time comes. ”

Li Tie saw that Xiong Qing also wanted to take credit, so he interjected first. "I said Commander Xiong, you said that your navy fired a few shots. When these warships come into our hands, they basically won't spit out anymore, and after getting so many good things, they still want rewards? ”

Xiong Qing saw the contemptuous eyes at the table, and was embarrassed to insist any longer, turned his head away, and acted helplessly when he didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's discuss what to do with the warship and those people. Li Tie, what do you think" Hu Lin put down the list and straightened his face.

"Back to General. I want to be on the safe side and send them back to Hirayama. After all, that's the territory we control. But there is certainly not enough coal to burn, and we have a spare one on the cargo ship. It is only enough for our command ship to be practical. ”

"If it is sent back to Pingshan, then the escort will not have to transfer one or two helicopters, so that our covering firepower in the capital will be much weaker, in order to reduce casualties, it is not recommended to dispatch helicopters to escort the escort."

As a temporary transfer to the elite division, Xue Liquan, who served as the brigade commander, expressed his view that this air cover is a big umbrella to protect the army, and if the air force has fewer helicopters, the ground troops will have a much harder time fighting. Naturally, I don't approve of it.

"That's true, and to escort the past, we have to disperse the forces of our Pingshan Navy and Army, and if we want to detain more than 2,000 people, how can we send hundreds of people back, and I have a total of more than 15,000 people, and all of them add up, more than 17,000 people. Originally, our troops and the foreigners were in a weak position, and it was always not good to divide a part of it back. And we have to guard against the army of the imperial court, they are ten times or twenty times as many as us. ”

It is still the army that speaks, and Li Ke, as the brigade commander of the army, naturally has to think more about the army. After analyzing the situation of the troops, it was obvious that they were not in favor of sending these warships and prisoners back to Pingshan now.

The crowd understood, and they all nodded in agreement. Hulin looked at the others. The two subordinates of Li Tie, the special division, didn't seem to want to participate.

"Shi Yuanfeng, Lu Ziqi. What do you two think, although this matter has nothing to do with your special division. Hu Lin still asked to hear the opinions of the two men. I'm usually silent, so I should always say a few words.

"Report to the general, Pingshan does not have many troops, and it should be focused on reducing casualties, and our army can't afford too much attrition for the time being!" Shi Yuanfeng sat up in a standard military posture and replied.

"Either put it near Tianjin, anyway, our Air Force helicopter is here, and no one can grab it." Lu Ziqi also followed the army's train of thought.

After listening, Hu Lin suddenly found that most of the people here belonged to the army, and his opinion must be leaning on the army. It's tantamount to asking in vain, but it's true, to ensure the strength of the army in the capital, it is not good to take the practice of dividing troops.

"Okay, it seems that everyone means this, then we will take them to Tianjin Waihai to log in."

After Hu Lin finished speaking, seeing that everyone nodded yes, he settled the matter and took the prisoners to fight. Originally, the plan was to register in Gulin Town, Jinnan, outside Tianjin.

But this time, a total of 10 warships patrolled by the coalition forces were taken, three at first, which were basically destroyed, and the other 7 were blown up and surrendered.

The remaining warships in Tanggu Harbor will be much weaker. According to modern historical data, there are only 24 warships and gunboats near Dagu.

That is, there are still 14 ships that are not strong in Tanggu Port, and it is not a big problem to take them. The other is the fort, the Dagu fort has been occupied by the foreign coalition army, and it will either be recaptured or destroyed.

Hu Lin revealed that the intention was that the people naturally did not agree to destroy it, as long as they beat the people, and then collect or destroy the ammunition, it will be used in the future.

The plan is almost finished, and it will still be near Long Island in the Bohai Sea. There are still 300 kilometers to Tanggu Port, and it will only take a little more than a day to rush there.

It is now August 8, 1900, and it is more than 300 kilometers from Changdao to Tanggu Port, that is, more than a day's journey. The coalition forces are still in the vicinity of Shuanggang, and according to modern information, the gates of the city will be blown up in the outer city of the capital in the early morning of August 14.

Then, it seems that you can't rush over now, if you want to defeat the coalition forces and control the capital, you have to let the coalition forces blow up the city gates, and then it will be time for the Pingshan army to appear.

By this time in August, there were actually only seven coalition forces marching from Tianjin to Beijing, two of which had only symbolically hung their flags, with a total strength of only 16,000 troops.

The Japanese army had 8,000 men, the Russian army 4,800 men, the British army 3,000, the American army 2,100 men, the French army 800 men, the Austrian army 500 men, and the Italian army 53 people.

At this time, the Qing army had a total of 113,000 Qing troops in the Zhili and Beijing-Tianjin areas, and there were about 65,000 people in the vicinity of the capital alone. Rong Lu commanded more than 30 battalions of 12,940 people in the middle army, as well as more than 100,000 people in the surrounding areas.

In addition to the poor training of the Qing army, the most important thing is that Cixi's women ordered not to resist. At that time, when I entered Beijing, a group of officials also sent pennants to welcome, which was enough to hurt the eggs.

If the Pingshan army wants to control the capital at that time, there will be less than 20,000 elite soldiers, and Hu Lin is also a little apprehensive. But fortunately, with modern weapons, this force, which is less than 20,000 people, can still play a considerable role.

With the cooperation of helicopter rockets, the problem will not be very big, of course, this will have to be considered after the coalition army has been high-leveled.

If the 35,000 people on the road can be brought to the capital in a faster time, then Hu Lin will have absolute confidence to control the areas near the capital.

The army will not be able to catch up, so it must first take down Tianjin, and then rush to Beijing, which is almost 150 kilometers. If you take Tanggu Port or any part of Tianjin in advance, you will let the coalition forces know by telegram.

This is very unfavorable for Hu Lin to control the capital, and the helicopter takes a branch line from Tanggu Port to the capital, for example, and it takes less than an hour.

As long as the time is controlled after the coalition forces break through the city gate, and then use helicopters to resist and drive the coalition forces out of the city gate, so that the forbidden army in the capital can cooperate with the gate.

After the Pingshan army arrived, it would be much easier to control several gates in the outer city of the capital. With the 1,500 most elite soldiers from Pingshan now, plus AK automatic rifles, the Qing army in the capital can't make a mess.

In terms of time, the 12th is the most suitable departure, and there are still 4 days to go, which is regarded as a rest for these days.

After deciding on the strategy, let the Hirayama Navy rest on the spot on Long Island and wait for orders. And deal with the 6 captured warships and prisoners, don't abuse one of them, and don't let people sneak away.

For the time being, it is necessary to keep it secret from the outside world for the next few days, and raid without the knowledge of the coalition forces. It is also a top priority for the Pingshan Navy to familiarize itself with these warships, and to take advantage of the time of these few days to learn from the prisoners on the warships.
