Ju Guochong's idea is actually very simple, that is, he simply wants to take credit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info His position as commander of the Sapporo base will be relieved in less than an hour, and Bai Nan, as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, will take over command of Sapporo. During his tenure as base commander, there were no major military operations, and although there were sporadic Ainu against them, Ju believed that those were combat rather than military operations.

Now that the Japanese who are finally blind-eyed have bumped into the muzzle of the gun, Ju Guochong just wants to kill them before Bai Nan arrives, and this is not just as simple as obtaining military merits, if Ju Guochong performs well in dealing with emergencies, it is very likely to leave a good impression on Bai Nan, and then he will be entrusted with important tasks on the battlefield, and there will be a battle to fight.

Therefore, Ju Guochong not only wanted to defend the port terminal, but also wanted to hold these Japanese, because capturing the prisoners and simply expelling them were completely different consequences.

In a layer of mist, the shore defense artillery fired at the Shirakema Maru in the prime of Sakata, but in this case, the attack of the coastal defense artillery was only a deterrent, and since the construction of Sapporo, more than 10 155 mm heavy guns have been set up here, and there is not much defense risk on this side for the time being, but the military will not slack off, and there are no naval ships stationed here, so it can only increase the deployment of shore defense guns.

A few shells smashed a column of water on the sea around the Egret Maru, and Sakata Moritaki's face finally changed greatly: "There is a big cylinder, a long range, is it really the Tsarist Russians?" ”

His subordinates also had a bad face, and they didn't dare to mention the robbery again, and the big barrel on their Egret Pill was just a small cannon. Power doesn't work. But the artillery that came from the shore just now. The sound of the breaking wind was scary enough, and he said, "My lord, are we going to withdraw?" ”

Sakata Moritoki came to his senses, regardless of whether he was a Russian on the shore or not, he could easily wipe out his group of sailors, although he was on the reconnaissance mission of the Matsumae Domain, but it did not mean that he would take his life for the mission of the Matsumae Domain.

"Quick, turn around. Let's get out of here. Sakata called out, but the steering of the rowing boat was more complicated and clumsy, and it was impossible for them to leave here anytime soon.

Fortunately, the cannon fire on the shore stopped, and Sakata Moritoki breathed a sigh of relief, he naturally knew that it would take a lot of time to reload the barrel, and he could at least escape to a safer place by taking this opportunity.

It's just that at this time, a black-skinned ship several times the size of the Egret Pill suddenly spewed out black smoke and sailed quickly towards the Egret Maru. The ship was actually preparing. The pilot ship that served as the pilot for the expeditionary fleet that came to Sapporo was now able to go into battle immediately. Although the ship was actually a tugboat with a high-horsepower steam engine. She wasn't armed in any way, but she was big enough, and she was covered with an iron shell on the outside, which could shatter the Egret Pill even if she hit it, not to mention that there was a group of Tang soldiers with bazookas and small grenadiers on it.

"So fast, that ship so fast!" Sakata Moritoki's eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't wait to rush up and pick up the rocking oar to speed up the boat, but how could this Xiaozao compare to the speed of the iron tugboat.

At the bow of the tugboat, two Datang soldiers had already operated a rocket launcher aimed at the Egret Maru, and then saw a rocket dragging a tail of smoke hit the hull of the Egret Maru. Several of the ship's crew were swept away by the explosion and were killed instantly, and many others were injured by shrapnel, even Sakata Moritoki fell.

Once there is no one to rock the boat, then it will not leave, and the white heron maru will completely become a prey that cannot move and tremble. The tugboat did not deliberately intend to ram the Egret Maru, and if it did, it might create a chance for the boatmen to fight back, so the soldiers of the LTTE took bazookas and grenadiers and threw them at the small wooden boat.

At this time, Sakata Moriti was too frightened to get up, although he called himself a samurai, and it was shameful to surrender, but if he could surrender, he would definitely surrender, and the Tang people on the boat attacked his Egret Maru with great pride, and he didn't dare to show his head at all, maybe he would be killed by the flying wood shrapnel as soon as he stood up.

In the end, when the battle was almost over, the tugboat approached the already battered Egret Pill, and more than a dozen Datang soldiers jumped on top of the Egret Pill, although they were sure that it was unlikely that anyone would have the intention to resist, but they were still on guard with melee weapons such as submachine guns and shotguns.

The soldiers didn't speak Japanese, so they tied up the living guys and took them to the tugboat and sent them back to the port of Sapporo, and at this time, the huge expeditionary fleet of the Tang Dynasty was slowly berthed.

"Commander-in-Chief Shiro, welcome to Sapporo!" Lee Seung-an, who was appointed mayor of Sapporo, and Ju Guochong, head of the Tigers, both greeted Bai Nam at the pier. Li Sheng'an and Bai Nan are also old acquaintances, and they have known each other when they first crossed.

Bai Nan smiled and said, "Mayor Li, Sapporo has made you run a good business, and it's really right to trust you." Commander Ju, as soon as I arrived, you made a meritorious service, so good. ”

Ju Guochong couldn't help but smile and said, "Before Commander-in-Chief Bai arrived, I was in charge of all the defense affairs of Sapporo, how could I let Little Japan take advantage." It's not that you ordered us to stay here, otherwise because of the crime of burning and looting in our country in those years, I would have gone to Tokyo and cut off the emperor's head and use it as a cannonball. ”

Bai Nandao: "At least in our world, from now to the future, no matter for hundreds of years or thousands of years, the Japanese are not capable of committing crimes on our land, and now our priority is the Cuckoo Project, and we can beat the Japanese in turn." ”

Of course, Ju Guochong didn't think that Bai Nan was talking big, although this kind of national strategic affairs came from the cabinet, Bai Nan's influence on the cabinet's policies was well known. For example, what land Britain wants to seize in South Asia is the final say of the East India Company, and some people's status may not be high, but the influence on history is endlessly magnified in this era, and it is not uncommon for a person to conquer a country.

Li Sheng'an will serve as the mayor of Sapporo for a relatively long time, at least in the next few years of the implementation of the cuckoo plan, he will do a good job of logistics for Bai Nan, and play the role of a connection point between the East Asian continent and the North American continent, he said with a little worry: "The Japanese have noticed our existence, will it cause us some trouble, can Commander-in-Chief Bai tell me about it?" ”

Bai Nan smiled: "I don't think I need to worry too much about this, the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate does not have much strength to carry out an expedition to Sapporo, yes, the Tokugawa shogunate needs to recruit a large number of daimyo troops to fight against Sapporo across the sea, it is an expedition, the shogunate's economy cannot support it, and even if it comes, it can only be a failure." I left the Hessian 1st Regiment of the Foreign Brigade here, how could I hold up the scene. As for the Matsumae Domain on the southern side of the Washima Peninsula, it is not too much trouble, and I will soon take the head of Ju to fight in Bohai Bay, and the local defense will be mainly handed over to the Hessian Regiment. Commander Tansen coordinated and ordered them to attack and destroy the Matsumae Domain, take control of the Toshima Peninsula, and thus gain control of the entire island of Hokkaido. ”

Li Shengan was a little relieved, and he asked again: "I don't know what domestic arrangements are for Hokkaido's status?" ”

Bai Nan nodded and said, "Hokkaido Island will also be officially renamed and called Nanguwei Island." We will call Sakhalin the island of Beiguwei, and together with the Kuril Islands, we will follow the example of Borneo and establish an overseas territory, and our Mayor Li's official position will soon be moved and he will become the governor. ”

Li Sheng'an was a little depressed: "Gu Wei, this name is called hundreds of years ago, and it is so discriminatory, it is too ugly." ”

Bai Nan smiled and said, "So we transliterated it, called Guwei Overseas Territory, which has the meaning of consolidating our prestige." ”

Li Sheng'an was a little satisfied, and said, "Nanguwei Island, it sounds much better." ”

Then Li Shengan asked again: "Commander-in-Chief Bai, when are you going to attack?" ”

Bai Nan's expression was a little more serious and said: "Soon, we will have a simple rest in Sapporo, if possible, I hope to send troops within a week, the sooner the better." ”

Li Shengan expressed concern again: "Are our materials and logistics keeping up?" ”

"Overall, there are not too many problems, I can't deploy too many troops on the battlefield in one go, and our troops are relatively strong in combat and the direction of combat is limited, so there is no need to invest all of them in advance. I plan to take the Tiger Regiment and the Marine Regiment into battle first at the beginning, and gradually join the men and horses of the Second Brigade according to the needs in the later stage. After the LTTE conquers the Beijing Division, the Second Brigade will be responsible for all the fighting and maintenance work in the Beijing-Tianjin area. ”

Li Sheng'an naturally knew that in Bai Nan's plan, Hokkaido, which is now Nanguwei Island, would be a penal colony of the Eight Banners, in order to minimize the obstacles to a series of activities of the Tang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, Bai Nan planned to directly exile these vested interest groups who had been riding on the head of the country for a hundred years and had a strong tendency towards slave society to Nanguwei Island, so that the power of the Eight Banners in the Central Plains of the mainland would be extremely weakened, and Nanguwei Island, as the new overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty, could also be developed by immigrants, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Bai Nan also summoned Feng Tansen, an officer from Hanover, who became the commander of the Hessian Regiment of the Foreign Brigade because of his great cooperation and ability in the process of defecting to the Tang people. Feng Tansen was ordered by Bai Nan to purge the Matsumae Domain. For the Japanese, Bai Nan did not have a good impression, so he didn't even say anything about asking Feng Tansen to restrain his soldiers and pay attention to discipline. He didn't bother with that, and all his attention was already on the implementation of the Cuckoo Plan. (To be continued.) )
