At night, in Songjiang Castle, the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Army was also making tense pre-war arrangements.

"According to the information we currently have about the Qing army and Britain, the United States and France, the British army is moving towards Jiading and Baoshan, so Zeng Shuiyuan's troops who feint to attack Jiading must do a good job on the barracks and trenches to guard against unnecessary damage caused to us by the enemy's artillery fire. In the direction of Qingpu, Chen Zongyang's troops will launch an attack on the Qing army on the opposite side in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and they will fight hard and fiercely, so that they will believe that this is our main direction of attack. The 3,000 men and horses that had just been transferred to Songjiang were all under the command of Chen Yucheng......"

After seeing that Huang Zaixing had arranged a good arrangement in an orderly manner, Lin Haifeng looked at Chen Yucheng and instructed seriously, "Your burden is not light, after completing the annihilation of the enemy who came to sneak attack, you must bypass the Qing army's defense line non-stop and approach Longhua." Judging from the increasing strength of the Qing army in front of us, Longhua will be replaced by the British army, which will be a real test. ”

"According to intelligence, there are more than 10,000 Qing demons on the opposite side of Qingpu and Songjiang, and the troops we can invest are only more than 10,000. If Longhua really has a British garrison, if you want to eat so many enemies in one bite, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. Zeng Shuiyuan pondered cautiously, "Your Highness, do you want to divide some of my people there?" ”

"No, you don't." Lin Haifeng smiled, "Even if you Prime Minister Zeng don't believe that we will eat them in one bite, then our 'respected foreign friends' won't believe it." Your task there is also very difficult, the enemy will fight back against you, and only if you are firmly under the city of Jiading, they will not have a chance to reinforce the frontal battlefield. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as there is still one person left, the banner of the Celestial Empire will always fly outside Jiading City, calling the Qing Demon and the Yangyi Cold!" The water source was solemnly on the surface.

"There is another question to remind everyone to pay attention to," Huang Zaixing stood up and looked at the generals in front of him, "I want to inform every soldier on the front line of His Royal Highness King An's words, for the sake of the dignity of China, between the Qing Demon and the Yangyi, kill the Yangyi first." It is necessary to shout out the slogan of 'all Chinese sons, with the same guns to the outside world,' to win over those Qing officers and soldiers who still have a conscience, and to fight back on the battlefield. ”

"It is necessary to mobilize the troops before the war overnight and reveal to the officers and men of the whole army all kinds of evil acts of the Yangyi against China. The battles around Shanghai are unlike any other battlefield, and we must remember that we do not want to take prisoners, whether it is a foreigner, or a traitor or a slave who is willing to collude with a foreigner! Lin Haifeng waved the empty pipe in his hand and said firmly, "This is not to say that we have violated the 'three disciplines and eight attentions' that we have set." This is a national war, an irreconcilable war, either you survive or I survive, and there is no need to waste our food to feed them again. ”

"Did you hear it all?" Huang Zaixing asked loudly.

"Hear me!" All the commanders and generals sitting in the room stood up at the same time and replied in unison.

The generals left one after another, Huang Zaixing looked at King An, who seemed to be pondering something, and asked, "Your Highness, the big war is coming, is it up to me to go to the water division to take command, it will also be a big battlefield, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"With Li Xiucheng and Xu Zongyang, they will grasp it." Lin Haifeng raised his head and smiled slightly.

"Yangzhou has been under a lot of pressure recently, Qishan Demon Head seems to have eased the sun, Li Xiucheng's soldiers and horses have been transferred out of Zhenjiang, I hope nothing will happen to Yangzhou." Huang Zaixing was a little worried.

"yes, that's what I've been worried about lately." Lin Haifeng sighed a little helplessly, "The Northern King has been planning to attack Shouchun, if it is easy, Qishan's Jiangbei camp will naturally be contained, which will reduce the pressure on the Yangzhou garrison." ”

"His Royal Highness the Northern King is also capable of conquest and habitual warfare, but recently the Qing Demon has increased his troops in Anhui Province, I don't know why the Northern King has relieved Lai Hanying of military affairs again?"

Lin Haifeng did not answer Huang Zaixing's question, he began to fill the pipe with tobacco, "I have written letters to both the Eastern and Northern Wangs, and Anhui Province should now use the small towns and villages to develop and strengthen its own strength, isolate Shouchun and Bengbu, and guard against the counteroffensive of the Qing army." ”

"If this is the case, the arrangement of our simultaneous operations on the two fronts of Shanghai and Hangzhou is correct." Huang Zaixing said with a smile, "However, in fact, Yangzhou should not have been assigned to the Northern King's control. ”

Lin Haifeng shook his head, "That's not necessarily, the most important thing is that Li Shixian's army can't be mobilized, otherwise it will ......" He glanced at Zeng Jinfa, who hurriedly came in, and stopped talking. There is no need to ask, just by looking at Zeng Jinfa's face, he knows that something big must have happened.

"Your Highness, Shanghai sent someone to send a secret report, and as expected by His Highness, that Wall will attack Songjiang early tomorrow morning." Zeng Jinfa handed over a secret letter in his hand to King An.

"Well done!" Lin Haifeng put down his pipe and looked at the letter, "Can anyone go back?" ”

"Yes," Zeng Jinfa nodded, "They were originally cobbled together by Wu Jianzhang, the Taoist of Shanghai, and now they have been transferred to Miaobang and commanded by Chu Yude of Shanghai Station." ”

"Okay, great!" Lin Haifeng waved his hand, "You immediately write a reply letter to inform the Shanghai side and cooperate with the next combat action of the Heavenly Army." ”

"Yes." Zeng Jinfa agreed, and then reported to the office, "The Hangzhou military reported that our army is besieging the west and north gates of Hangzhou, and Zheng'an plans to make preparations for crossing the Ciyun Mountains and carrying out the West Lake water battle. According to the information obtained by Lin Fengxiang, Hangzhou has gathered nearly 30,000 troops and regiments from all over the world. ”

"Well," Lin Haifeng didn't seem to be interested in the news, but looked at Zeng Jinfa and asked, "I said Minister Zeng, let's tell the worst news." ”

Zeng Jinfa handed over a document to King An's hand, "Your Highness, Su Sanniang has a letter, Yangzhou is in a hurry!" ”

"What's going on?" Huang Zaixing was suddenly shocked. Li Xiucheng's 3,000 men and horses and Xu Zongyang's sailors have all left Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou is in an emergency at this time, where will the troops be transferred? You can't ask Li Xiucheng to go back again, so here in Shanghai......

"His Royal Highness the Northern King Shouchun was frustrated, and most of the Yangzhou defenders were transferred to attack Chuzhou, but they were besieged by the Qing demons and suffered heavy losses. Now that the Qing Demon is attacking Yangzhou, there are less than 3,000 defenders in Yangzhou City, and most of them are recruits, so I'm afraid it won't last long......" Zeng Jinfa looked solemn.

"Your Highness, Tianjing has no troops and horses to adjust, so I can only transfer Li Xiucheng to help." Huang Zaixing looked at the map on the table, and said worriedly, "The problem is not a matter of Yangzhou, since the Northern King has been frustrated in Shouchun, then Luzhou will inevitably become the focus of competition for the Qing Demon." ”

"Luzhou can't be lost, Jiujiang and Anqing are not heavily garrisoned, if Luzhou makes a mistake, it will inevitably add trouble to Yiwang's western expeditionary army. However, we don't need to think about this, Dongwang will have a way. Lin Haifeng stood up, "Immediately transfer Li Xiucheng back to Zhenjiang." ”

"That'...... Does our entire deployment need to be changed? ”

"It's about changing!" Lin Haifeng gritted his teeth and sneered, "Minister Huang, you go to Qingpu immediately and command all the troops in front of you in a unified manner." Headquarters will move with the teaching trip tomorrow. ”

"Your Highness, it's better for the headquarters to stay in Songjiang, it's too dangerous to follow the teaching brigade." Huang Zaixing persuaded worriedly.

"With the Teaching Brigade here, what other danger can there be?" Lin Haifeng smiled, "I'm in a hurry to enter Shanghai City." As he spoke, he turned his face to look at Zeng Jinfa, "How are the people in Chengdongguan evacuated?" ”

"I've been doing it, I guess it's almost."

"I can't estimate it," Lin Haifeng lit his pipe, "You go and check it yourself, you can't miss a person." ”

Seeing Zeng Jinfa turn around to leave, Lin Haifeng stopped him again, "By the way, call Liu Shangshu in." ”

"Your Highness, then I'll go to Qingpu right away." Huang Zaixing packed up his things, still looking at King An with some concern, "Your Highness, you must be careful!" ”

"I will." Lin Haifeng took his hand, "As long as you fight resolutely, I will be safe." ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will never spare those rabbit cubs!" Huang Zaixing nodded vigorously.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with me?" Liu Xianghe looked at Huang Zaixing, who was leaving in a hurry, smiled, and turned to ask King An.

"Yes, write an urgent letter to the East King immediately." Lin Haifeng sat down as he spoke, "In addition, I have to prepare a note for our 'foreign friends'." ”
