As the sun rises in the east, Lamma Island is chaotic, and some areas are covered with blood, congealed into blood clots, mixed with mud. From time to time www.biquge.info a few corpses would appear in the grass, stiff bodies, pale faces, and faint corpse spots, which showed that these people had long since died.

The gunfire was loud at night, but the morning was so quiet and peaceful, in stark contrast. Bands of Thunder Soldiers patrolled the various traffic points, the vicinity of the port, especially the Haiphong of Lamma Island, and some important forts.

Shi Mingzhi, who had not slept all night, had red eyes and had just toured Lamma Island to conduct field observations. At this time, standing in front of a table of eight immortals, accompanied by several Thunder Battalion-level cadres, discussing things and expressing their respective opinions, everyone gathered around the table.

After a short silence, Shi Mingzhi opened his bloodshot eyes, pointed to the map on the table, and found it from Li Shangqing's room not long ago, with a solemn expression, calm and calm, and calmly issued a list of orders.

"You, in charge of the defense of Xinjiao North Village, immediately add artillery near the coast to double the firepower."

"You, in charge of the area around Jianji Rock. Similarly, the coastal firepower there will be doubled and the number of artillery pieces will be increased. ”

"You, in charge of Hong Shengye, you are in charge of Luzhou Village, you are in charge of Moda, the cannons in these places have all doubled!"

"In short, just one sentence, we must ensure the safety of Lamma Island. Once a suspicious ship approaches and appears in the nearby waters, as long as it is within the range of the cannon, no matter whose it belongs or which force it belongs to, I will blow it up and sink it first! ”

However, when Shi Mingzhi said that the spitting stars were flying sideways, and when he spoke impassionedly, his right hand kept pointing at various positions on the map, but he didn't hear any response, and he couldn't help but look up and look at the people next to him.

I saw several battalion-level soldiers with embarrassed faces and some hesitation, and when I saw the chief of staff looking at me, I couldn't help but feel a little weak. In the end, there was still one person who couldn't help it, and then saluted the army, and then said loudly: "Report, Chief of Staff, according to the information returned from statistics, as well as our on-site inspection and various rough analysis, there are not so many cannons on Lamma Island, and we ...... the tasks you have assigned."

Although the four words are difficult to complete, Shi Mingzhi has already understood what he said, and he can understand everyone's reactions, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is not something that can be done by getting angry and angry, so it will only help.

The room returned to calm again, Shi Mingzhi's face was thoughtful, his eyes were flowing, the light was uncertain, and he was thinking. It seemed that he had figured out something, made some kind of decision, and said decisively: "In this way, wherever there is not enough artillery, dismantle the top of our warship and arrange it in the corresponding places, near various beaches and ports." ”

"However, Chief of Staff, once the cannons are dismantled and the cannons on the ships are reduced, the warships will be reduced to paper tigers, unable to conduct naval battles, and when we sail, the defense and counterattack will not be guaranteed, and we will be tied to this island. Is this a matter of being authorized by the head of the regiment? ”

"Don't worry, just do it, I'll go and tell the head of the regiment about this, I believe he will definitely agree, this is involving the coastal defense of Lamma Island, can we gain a firm foothold here."

"Well... Chief of Staff, we listen to you, and we will do it. ”

"Okay, go ahead and do it, it just so happens that I have to report this matter to the head of the regiment."

In just a moment's effort, these men scattered in all directions, quickly departed, went to their respective areas of responsibility, gathered men and horses and some captives who surrendered, transported artillery to the corresponding coast, and set up defenses, so that the defense of Lamma Island rose several steps in succession.

Unconsciously, after Shi Mingzhi finished the control, he arranged the task, and it was already three poles in the sun, and it was close to noon.

In the hall of the Qingqi Gang, Qi Zhiyuan and Zhuge Mou were in it, and until now, the two of them have not slept, their eyes are red, bloodshot, and their voices are a little astringent.

"Commander, those who were captured at sea have agreed, and are willing to go to those places to convey our policy and our goodwill to the remnants of the Green Banner Gang. At the same time, they also asked to join the Thunder, follow us, I don't want them to misunderstand and doubt our policy, so I directly agreed to them and allowed them to join the Thunder, I don't know what your opinion is? ”

"Mr. Zhuge , you did the right thing, it should be so. Otherwise, wouldn't the strategy we formulated become an empty word, without a certain foundation, how can we win the trust of others? ”

At this time, as if thinking of something, Zhuge Mou took out two account books, which were the list of goods on the merchant ships of the Ryukyu Kingdom, various details, and asked: "Commander, what about those people from the Ryukyu Kingdom?" Is that all there is? ”

"Also, these two ledgers are really one, one detailing all the cargo of the two merchant ships, and the other is incomplete, and it is supposed to be a false ledger used to prevaricate a particular person. Personally, I think it's true that they are Ryukyu nationals, but they are not a courtship mission, but they are just here to do business in Guangzhou under the guise of paying tribute. ”

If he realized, Qi Zhiyuan then said: "Those Ryukyu countries will be locked up first, and we will talk about it later, I don't have time to care about them now." Listening to what you said, it reminds me of some things that the marshal told me, that some vassal states of the Qing court have such things every year, and merchants go to the coastal areas to do business under the guise of paying tribute. ”

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, causing the two to stop discussing and look at each other.

Seeing that Shi Mingzhi was walking towards the two, walking in a hurry, unable to allow Qi Zhiyuan to say hello, Shi Mingzhi took the lead in opening his mouth and told the two of them his decision, hoping to obtain Qi Zhiyuan's consent.

When he walked in front of the two of them, Shi Mingzhi had already finished the whole thing, Qi Zhiyuan's voice sounded at the right time, and he said loudly: "Staff Officer Shi, you should do this, now our first priority is to protect Lamma Island, resist the invasion of other pirate forces, gain a firm foothold, and obtain this place." ”

"It's just to dismantle the cannons on some warships, and reduce the number of warships when they go to sea. As long as there are no large-scale naval battles and fewer warships traveling, the impact will not be great. What's more, within a few days, there will be no mission to the sea, after all, it is necessary to consolidate the defense and control of Lamma Island. ”

The two most important things were dealt with, and for a while, Qi Zhiyuan felt a lot less pressure on his body, and he couldn't help but relax slightly, only then did he notice the dark circles and bloodshot pupils of the two people in front of him, and then he thought that he and the others had not closed their eyes for a day and a night, and suddenly felt sleepy and yawned.

"Two, now that things are almost out, it's not that urgent. For a while, we can't do everything, let's go back to our rooms to rest, sleep a little back, and nourish our spirits to do things better, right? ”

As Qi Zhiyuan's words fell, the two of them felt a burst of sleepiness, showed tiredness, did not be polite anymore, also stood up, and said in unison: "Then I will retire first, I am really sleepy, my eyelids are fighting, ah~!" ”

Then, the three of them walked slowly, with heavy steps, towards their respective rooms. Everyone is tired, without the dragon spirit and tiger just now, the energetic demeanor, no longer excited, the spirit is a little trance, and the attention is becoming more and more distracted.

Gradually, the hall returned to calm and became empty, in stark contrast to the lively scene in the past, which made people sigh and sigh. (To be continued.) )
