Chapter 56 Deep Processing of Opium
With the battle flag hung out by the Zhenyuan ship, and the other three ships also hung out the battle flag, the specific location of King Fish Island Lin Haijiang compared it with the nautical charts of later generations in his memory, but it is a pity that a large area of the South China Sea in later generations belongs to the so-called dispute-sensitive areas, and Lin Haijiang is only a lieutenant, and many nautical charts are limited by the level of secrecy, so even if Lin Haijiang searches his intestines, he can't connect Dawangyu Island with a certain island in later generations?
However, King Fish Island is really miserable in the eyes of Lin Haijiang, a professional, the southeast of the island is uplifted, and some buildings can be vaguely seen on it, and then there are some low forests along the undulating mountain beams, the whole island is only a dozen square kilometers, the so-called port is actually a large cliff crack, Said's boat is smaller, so it can sail in to avoid the wind and waves, while Lin Haijiang's big ship is not good.
According to the old rules, Lin Haijiang divided the Kingfish Island into eight artillery strike areas, two areas for each battleship, and some of the sailors and soldiers who took the battleship began to lower the skateboard clipper, and the artillery fire that began Lin Haijiang wanted to train the ship formation to march and shell the subject.
And letting the soldiers under the head of his battalion bravely land and attack is just a temporary intention, and he wants to test the soldiers who have been trained for a long time and have eaten countless pork and white rice.
Looking at the brave soldiers who were eager to try, as well as the battalion officers, commanders, and commanders who were gearing up, Lin Haijiang felt very pleased!
Amid the rumbling of artillery, the soldiers of a battalion bravely took thirty clippers and began to march towards the only small beachhead around the island, the horns of the attack were buzzing, and Lin Haijiang looked at the battalion soldiers who rushed up with great interest and almost dropped the telescope on the deck.
All the previous tactical coordination training was in vain, there was no so-called coordination in the swarming flow of people, and the battalion head commanded by Zhang Zheng was selected from various battalion heads, and it was inevitable that there would be incoordination in the first actual combat training, and Lin Haijiang was very helpless to extricate himself.
After all, the elite on the training ground is not equal to the veterans in actual combat, and there is no comparison between the two, when the team advanced to the middle of the ridge, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the top of the mountain?
Lin Haijiang's heart suddenly tightened, he knew very well what kind of smoke it was, it was the smoke from the salvo of the musket.
Sure enough, Zhang Zheng's battalion attack was blocked, and in the chaotic counterattack, a group of soldiers holding iron-clad thick wooden shields and wielding new-style waist knives rushed forward under the leadership of Zhang Zheng.
Lin Haijiang dragged Zhang Zheng down and beat him violently at this moment, the previous segmented shooting, organizing fire suppression, and the tactics of seeking a breakthrough on both wings seem to have learned the inside of the dog's stomach, and the new rifle is not as good as the waist knife?
What made Lin Haijiang happy was that no one retreated halfway, retreated to embarrass himself, and Liu Quansi, who followed behind to lead his own soldiers to supervise the battle, held a command knife and watched the fierce battle on the mountain.
After a round of artillery suppression, Zhang Zheng took the lead in breaking through the opponent's line, looking at the soldiers who were rushing up, Lin Haijiang said to Wang Dongxu with a cold face: "Prepare the ship, I want to land on the island." ”
When Wang Dongxu saw Lin Haijiang's appearance, he suddenly had a number in his heart, it seems that this adult in his family is very dissatisfied with the battle on the island today? Wang Dongxu, who usually calls Zhang Zheng a brother and brother, moved his mind for a while.
Walking on the battlefield just now, the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers were placed aside, and the wounded were being treated by the medical officer who had just landed on the island together, and almost every soldier's face was filled with an inexplicable joy, and Lin Haijiang read from the joy on the faces of the soldiers and their expectations for the rest of their lives after the war.
Zhang Zheng, who came at a trot all the way, hit a thousand, knelt down in front of Lin Haijiang with a puff and said: "Improper command of the lowly position, please punish the adult!" ”
"Oh?" Lin Haijiang didn't make a sound, looked at Wang Dongxu with cold eyes and said, "Do you have anything to say about Zhang Zheng's performance today?" ”
Wang Dongxu saw that Lin Haijiang's face was not good, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "I know that I am wrong, please punish my lord!" ”
Lin Haijiang took a deep breath and said, "If I want to open my head, can you save it?" What I hate and disgust the most is that you form a private party underneath, and the meaning of your comrades and brothers is completely misinterpreted by yourself, just like today's battle, the arms I spent so much silver to buy, if properly commanded, you can completely suppress the opponent's firepower outside the opponent's range and slowly advance, the segmented shooting I taught in Ping, tactical cooperation I didn't see anything today? ”
Lin Haijiang paused and looked at Zhang Zheng, Zhang Zheng lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Humble duty is also meritorious service!" Thank you for your understanding. ”
"Don't talk to me, go and talk to the brothers who died over there, go and talk to their families, tell me how you lost other people's brothers and sons the first time you went into battle!" Lin Haijiang's angry rebuke made Zhang Zheng almost find a crack in the ground to get into.
Zhang Zheng never thought that Lord Lin, who looked amiable in Ping Yueli, would make such a big move in order to kill a few battalion soldiers? Seems unusual?
Liu Quansi said thoughtfully: "Lord Zhang said that he has slashed six or seven pirates today, and he has taken the lead in boosting morale!" ”
Lin Haijiang glanced at Liu Quansi and said to Zhang Zheng: "And you, the commander, you have charged to the front line by yourself, and it is a good thing to take the lead, but you have to remember your identity as a commander, I don't want a centurion who charges into battle, but a general who can command thousands of troops and horses for me." ”
As soon as Lin Haijiang's words came out, Zhang Zheng's spirit suddenly perked up, and almost everyone was looking at Lin Haijiang with a hot gaze, Lin Haijiang glanced at Wang Dongxu and said: "Only this time, you have to remember that you are my adjutant, loyalty is above all else, I don't need you to speculate, I can give you what you want, understand?" ”
As soon as he turned around, Lin Haijiang said loudly to Zhang Zheng: "You have to personally send the pension of the fallen brothers to the door, buy the back mountain, find someone to build a garden with a large wall, three in and three out of the big archway to be high enough and big, on the top of the writing of the patriotic loyal and brave tiger garden, on the left side of the blue blood and sunny day, on the right side of the flag handle Chang Yao, after the public sacrifice of the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers into the burial into the garden, after the family to pay tribute to the memorial, all the brave soldiers who died during the battle in the future, all into the burial garden. ”
"Your Excellency! Righteous adults! The soldiers nearby knelt down and shouted Lin Haijiang's righteousness, and even some people shed tears of excitement, this is what they really feel as an official and a soldier! And no longer a chess piece to get credit, to feed the soldiers of the big head Bingqiu Bali archway? This is a new thing that has happened to the Qing Dynasty for the first time.
Lin Haijiang's storm came and fell quickly, and a burst of grace and power made everyone feel that everything was different.
In addition to being killed and killed on the spot, the pirates who resisted fiercely before were also captured, for the captured pirates, Lin Haijiang waved his hand, what he needed was soldiers, not bloodthirsty and cruel and tyrannical pirates, so Zhang Zheng was very happy to drag the pirates to the edge of the cliff, and used the brothers who did not see blood today as a bayonet target.
Lin Haijiang did not stop this seemingly cruel practice, because he knew how much psychological pressure it would take for a peasant to wield a big knife and slash at a living person, especially when there was no immediate pain, and later generations said that he would use live people to train recruits in a way that would train them bravely, so that the recruits could break out hysterically on the battlefield and not die because of a slight hesitation.
Lin Haijiang, who hated Yuben in his previous life, has already begun to wonder whether he should engage in a cargo ship? Fortune and robbery are not wrong, stifling the rise of Yueben? A very unkind smile appeared on the corner of Lin Haijiang's mouth.
The harvest of Dawangyu Island can be said to have shocked Lin Haijiang extremely much, and in addition to about one million taels of cash and two hundred yuan of small gold cakes of about five catties, about fifty thousand catties of opium? and a large collection of antique gold and silver utensils.
"Selling opium? What a dead end! In fact, Lin Haijiang should have thought that most of the pirates in this period were involved in the transshipment and sale of opium, so that the source of this 100,000 taels of gold is easy to explain, and this batch of gold has obvious traces of being re-smelted, and it seems that some people don't want people to know the origin of this batch of gold.
Able to hoard 50,000 catties of opium? Lin Haijiang felt as if he needed to be cautious, he had probably touched a potentially powerful force.
For this batch of opium, Lin Haijiang did not destroy it on the spot, in Lin Haijiang's eyes, it was all money! When he was bored in later generations, Lin Haijiang once read some posts similar to jokes, teaching you how to refine opium for the second time, and Lin Haijiang was very interested in this.
His biggest ideal was that in 1840, the British bombarded China with cannons, imported a large amount of opium, and used opium for secondary deep processing and sold it back to Britain! However, at this moment, Lin Haijiang's preferred target is not the British, but a friendly neighboring island country with a strip of water.
"Sample, don't let Lao Tzu's research succeed, otherwise let your whole nation be a pants to attract fans**, and you will have to walk!" Lin Haijiang, who was holding opium, smiled unusually hideously, which made Liu Quansi, Wang Dongxu, Zhang Zheng and others beside him shudder.
