Chapter 327: "Striking the Dragon Across the Sea"

Let's fight a battle on the border of Guangdong and Fujian first!

This is the strategy that Wang Hengyue has formulated before.

The two Yang combinations of this route army, Yang Sen and Yang Jie, just like Liu Zhaocheng, were placed too many high hopes on Wang Hengyue.

Yang Jie doesn't look down on Yang Sen very much, from the first time he saw Yang Sen, he firmly believed that this person had a "backbone" in the back of his head, and he would definitely be against it in the future.

But who would have thought that Heng Shuai would assign himself and him together.

Although I am not so reluctant in my heart, but things are already like this, what else can I do?

"Zhao'an, Yunxiao, and Pinghe have all been under military martial law, and the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition army is very well guarded." Yang Sen didn't care what his chief of staff was thinking, pointed to the map and said, "Heng Shuai said to move here, Brother Geng Guang, how do you say we should fight?" ”

The topic shifted to military operations, and Yang Jie's expression became serious: "I have an idea, don't fight head-on enemies!" ”

"Oh?" Yang Sen was stunned: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Yang Jie pointed to a location on the map, and looked in the direction of his finger, Yang Sen blurted out:

"Qiongzhou?"

"Qiongzhou!" Yang Jie's answer was categorical: "Fight the dragon across the sea!" ”

"Strike the dragon across the sea? Could it be that Brother Geng Guang means to break the dragon first? ”

Yang Jie nodded, confident: "Longji is located in Qiongzhou, and has been eyeing Leizhou for a long time, if our army launches an attack on Fujian, then Longjiguang will inevitably take advantage of the situation to attack Leizhou, and then threaten Guangdong." My opinion is to concentrate all the artillery, bombard the Fujian and Zhejiang coalition forces, and put on an offensive posture, so that they do not dare to act rashly, and then with the strength of one to two divisions, with the cooperation of the navy, cross the sea to attack the dragon, defeat the Longjiguang Division, and seize Qiongzhou! ”

Yang Sen thought for a long time, and slammed the table: "Okay, cross the sea to strike the dragon!" I took Wang Zan Xu's Sixth Division as the main force to attack Qiongzhou, and I personally sat here to force the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition army not to act rashly. ”

"Our troops cannot move, and after the Northern Expedition begins, we must use all the main forces to attack the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition army." Yang Jie said: "The battle of the dragon is related to the key to whether our army can successfully capture Fujian and Zhejiang after the start of the Northern Expedition. ”

Yang Sen groaned slightly: "Come on, send a power to Hengshuai!" ”

"Strike a dragon across the sea?"

Wang Hengyue held Yang Sen's telegram in his hand and handed it to Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili took a rough look: "This must be Yang Gengguang's handwriting, he has given us a problem." They continue to threaten the combined forces of Fujian and Zhejiang, and we need to be responsible for capturing Qiongzhou, and if Qiongzhou falls into our hands, Li Houji and Tong Baohuo will inevitably panic, and the two armies of Fujian and Zhejiang will lose their arms, and the morale of the army will fluctuate, and it will become much easier to attack again. ”

Saying that, his brows furrowed slightly: "It's just that who is suitable to seize the Qiongzhou faction needs to be carefully considered, the main forces of all departments of our army are preparing for the Northern Expedition, and the only ones that can be drawn out at the moment are the guard division and the tiger division."

Wang Hengyue pointed at Jiang Baili "Haha" and said with a smile: "Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen, you just continue to pretend, you, the only ones who can be drawn out are the guard division and the tiger division?" Wouldn't it be enough for you to let me command it myself? ”

Jiang Baili also laughed: "Heng Shuai is wise, that's exactly what I mean." At present, Guangzhou is stable, there are no hidden dangers for the time being, and although Qiongzhou is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, Long Jiguang is located there, and he never pays attention to the orders of the military and political axes. There is another layer is the key, defeating Long Jiguang is not a big problem, the important thing is how to appease Qiongzhou, to be able to do both, I think only Heng Shuai will come out in person. ”

"Okay, okay, you Jiang Fangzhen and Yang Gengguang dug a pit together and waited for me to jump there." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "You have been watching me comfortable for too long, and your heart is not unbalanced, so you have to find something for me to do, and I will follow your thoughts." ”

After a few jokes, his face became serious: "That's fine, since the establishment of our navy, we have never fought a battle, this expedition, although there will be no naval battle, but it can be regarded as giving them a real combat experience, ordering the navy to prepare, mobilize all the guard divisions and tiger divisions, and set off immediately!" ”

After Wang Hengyue became the generalissimo of the military and political axe. The first expedition of the Protector Fleet has begun!

The "Haiqi" was selected as the flagship of Wang Hengyue's ride, but I don't know why, but when the generalissimo of the military and political axe stepped on the deck, his face was a little ugly.

Ye Baoer, who put on a military uniform and accompanied her husband on the expedition, knew why, and why her husband brought her.

This generalissimo of the military and political axe, the commander with the dream of a big navy, is a standard landlubber!

Ye Baoer also taught her husband to have it, but it is a pity that Wang Hengyue is simply a scale, as soon as he enters the water, he will "clump and clump" and sink straight down, not even fluttering a few times, and the frightened Ye Baoer quickly broke off the idea of teaching her husband to swim.

"Report to Heng Shuai, the Protector Fleet has completed preparations for the expedition and requests to go on the expedition!"

"Approval to go!"

"Protector Fleet, attack!"

With the "woo" of the whistle, Wang Hengyue's first naval expedition began!

"Hengshuai, there is the cruiser 'Haichen', that is the cruiser 'Haichou', there are the destroyers 'Flying Eagle' and 'Tong'an', and that is the gunboats 'Yongfeng' and 'Wufeng'" Zhang Xiaoyue, who was standing beside Wang Hengyue, introduced them one by one.

"Ah, ah, good" Wang Hengyue stood there as if he was a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Xiaoyue was full of interest, and did not notice Heng Shuai's discomfort: "Long Jiguang's military strength is not strong, the navy is almost zero, and several sneak attacks on Leizhou almost rely on fishing boats and other tools to transport troops. So we won't be in the way at sea. It is necessary to pay attention only to the post-landing operations. ”

Wang Hengyue smiled reluctantly: "It is not difficult to defeat Long Jiguang, the difficulty lies in how to appease Qiongzhou." Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, and this time Long Jiguang is difficult to fly. ”

Zhang Xiaoyue said: "This Qiongzhou has a very long history, in the sixth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Fubo general Lu Bode, the Lou Boat general Yang Fu and others led the army to pacify South Vietnam. In the first year of Yuanfeng, Zhuya County and Daner County were set up in Qiongzhou. Emperor Yuan dismissed Zhuya County in the spring of the first three years, and issued an edict to abandon Zhuya County and set up Zhulu County, which belonged to Hepu County, Jiaozhou. In the nineteenth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Fubo general Ma Yuan pacified Jiaozhi, traveled to and from the South China Sea, Fuding Zhuya, and relocated Zhuya County, which belonged to Hepu County and Zhulu County. Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty relocated Dan'er County in ten years, and Zhuya and Dan'er counties were subordinate to Hepu County, and they were supervised in Jiaozhou.

He is very familiar with the history of Qiongzhou, but Wang Hengyue doesn't know about it, he only knows that Qiongzhou is Hainan Island.

Listening to Zhang Xiaoyue talking about the allusion to Qiongzhou with relish, the original physical discomfort was temporarily forgotten, Zhang Xiaoyue pointed in the direction of Qiongzhou and said:

"For a long time, Qiongzhou was used as a place of exile for degrading officials and criminals. After the Han Dynasty set up counties in Qiongzhou, sinners were exiled to this place, and the Tang and Song dynasties were the most exiled to Hainan Island. The Yuan and Ming dynasties basically stopped exiling sinners on Hainan Island."

"Su Dongpo was once exiled to Qiongzhou, right?" Wang Hengyue asked casually.

"Yes, it was a miracle that he was able to survive from Qiongzhou at that time." Zhang Xiaoyue nodded and said: "It is said that when he went north on his way back, there were almost thousands of empty alleys, vying to see this old man who had created a miracle. ”

Wang Hengyue sighed: "It's not easy, it's not easy, I had to go to Qiongzhou at that time, but without this cruiser and destroyer, a storm and waves came, and those ships would sink, but Su Dongpo not only arrived in Qiongzhou alive, but also came back alive."

There was a pause: "In other words, it is precisely because of the literati exiled from the Central Plains that the customs of Pumao on the island have gradually flourished, and people know the teaching of etiquette and righteousness. The place of exile has also become a place where politicians who are frustrated in officialdom are exiled. ”

Zhang Xiaoyue was slightly silent there: "Yes, during the Tang and Song dynasties, Qiongzhou was stable, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Qiongzhou began to be unpeaceful, and there were many rebellions, often out of control. Zheng Tinghu, the governor of Qiongzhou in the Ming Dynasty, gave the imperial court 'Ping Li Shu' at the beginning of the cloud: Qiong since the opening of the county, so far more than 1,600 years, no year has not been harmed by Li thieves, but there is no one who is now said to be miserable. This is not a complaint, but a truth. The place is in turmoil, and the people's counter-soldiers have been suppressing one after another! ”

"The military is secondary, and stabilizing the place is important." Wang Hengyue's face turned pale, and he barely controlled himself and said: "There are dozens of ethnic minorities in Hainan, and each ethnic group has its own customs. There is also the local toast, which also has to be tried to win over, and the task is heavy. ”

"I think we can use force and Huairou to do both." Zhang Xiaoyue pondered: "For those who are willing to cooperate with us, we can give them certain rights, and for those who are desperate to prevent us from landing on the island, you are welcome, it is better to completely eliminate hidden dangers." ”

"We also want to encourage as many immigrants as possible." Wang Hengyue held the side of the boat with both hands, and the sea breeze blew, which made him a little more comfortable: "Those from the mainland move to Qiongzhou Island, and those on the island can also encourage them to come inland."

The wind and waves on the sea were strong, and the ship began to shake, and when Wang Hengyue said this, he didn't talk anymore.

"Heng Shuai, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoyue finally noticed something strange and hurriedly asked. suddenly thought of something, a strange smile appeared on her face, Ye Bao'er, who had already discovered that her husband was wrong, confirmed Zhang Xiaoyue's judgment: "He, seasick"

The dignified generalissimo of the military and political axe, Wang Hengyue, who is almost omnipotent on land, is seasick!
