Chapter 160: Tianjing's Great Salvation
Wang Faren received the news that Fu Shanxiang might return to Tianjing, and immediately reported the news to Lin Haijiang, Lin Haijiang was at a loss in the face of the two reports on the table, Zheng Zhipeng's battle of Okinawa went very badly, most of the samurai of Satsuma mixed into the Ryukyuan people, and some of the timid and fearful Ryukyuan people still had the mentality that neither side wanted to offend?
In this way, the remnants of the samurai of the Satsuma Domain were able to attack the landing marines with ease, and killed the ambushed marines by beheading, disemboweling, and gouging out their eyes with extreme cruelty.
Satsuma's explanation for the Chinese Empire was that many of the wandering samurai went to Okinawa with their families and acquired land, so these people were unwilling to retreat, and the 3,000 samurai and light foot on the Satsuma Domain's side basically retreated, and the remaining few who refused to evacuate had nothing to do with the Satsuma Domain, and the samurai and resistance on Okinawa were spontaneous by the wandering samurai and Okinawans.
Lin Haijiang directly instructed Zhang Yunji to respond to the Satsuma side by telling them that there were two points, the first point was that Lao Tzu had a large number of expired shells here that needed to be destroyed, and the second was that the incomplete transfer of the Satsuma domain had caused heavy casualties to our army, so he asked Satsuma to compensate for a pension of 2 million taels, and another 1 million taels for the disposal of expired shells.
Zhang Yunji looked at Lin Haijiang dumbfounded, it was the first time he had seen someone who was so good at using cannons to deal with people.
Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and then added to Zhang Yunji: "Tell Xiao Yuben that if you don't pay for it quickly, I will go to their hometown every once in a while to destroy expired ammunition!" ”
After Zhang Yunji left, Lin Haijiang said to Li Anmin, who had just rushed back from a sweaty journey: "Instructed Zheng Zhipeng to take all the means he could think of, there are no so-called innocents in the war, only the warring parties and accidental casualties." ”
Lin Haijiang paused and said to Li Anmin: "You and Zhang Wei have time to communicate, my previous request for the Okinawa landing operation is not to disturb the people, but this is a premise, that is, under the condition that the other party is very cooperative, it is now in a state of war, Zheng Zhipeng, as a brigade-level commander, the first thing he faces is how to eliminate the enemy and the latent rebels, reduce the casualties of our army, instead of taking into account the accidental casualties of non-our race, and draft a document in my name to reprimand it." ”
Li Anmin respectfully recorded almost every sentence of Lin Haijiang with a small book, and Li Anmin also made a nickname of Mr. Quotations because he always repeated Lin Haijiang's quotations!
Lin Haijiang thought for a moment and continued: "Our army's marine troops have a single branch, the scale of cavalry, artillery, engineers, baggage and other arms is too small, and the scale and tactical units of the scale of the marine brigade and mountain brigade are no longer suitable for the needs of the current operation, so you should draft a temporary, temporary, and regular establishment of divisions, corps, and corps, and in order to meet the strategic units needed for large-scale battles in the future, we need to take precautions. ”
After Li Anmin left, only Wang Faren was left in the room, Lin Haijiang slapped the table, and immediately said angrily: "What are you doing in the Special Intelligence and Detective Department?" My people that? Didn't you tell you to look at it? ”
Wang Faren said helplessly: "Führer, the situation in Guangzhou is complicated, Miss Fu's identity and location are also very complicated, this time there are people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to respond, and our protection team has received an order to protect, so they have made a strict definition of the meaning and scope of protection, and failed to complete the task assigned by the Führer, please punish the Führer." ”
Lin Haijiang took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Don't explain the reason to me, I don't want to know, what I need to know now is your countermeasures." ”
Wang Faren was a little embarrassed and said: "Führer, Miss Fu's identity is special, even if she leaves openly, we can only play a role in peripheral protection, according to your instructions from the Führer, we cannot directly interfere with her normal life schedule, otherwise according to the analysis of the Intelligence Analysis Section, it is easy to be disgusted and hostile to it." ”
Lin Haijiang remembered after being reminded, sure enough, many things were explained by himself to the principles and criteria, and he was indeed a little embarrassed for Wang Faren, Fu Shanxiang is not himself, and he is not Fu Shanxiang or anything, at best, Lin Haijiang just doesn't want such a famous talented woman in history to lose her fragrance and jade, if you have to ask Lin Haijiang why, I'm afraid Lin Haijiang himself can't explain it clearly, and he can only barely count the love of beauty Everyone has it!
The feeling of mushiness made Lin Haijiang very restless, because in history, Fu Shanxiang was lost precisely because of the incense and jade in the inner bar of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, according to the latest information, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Wing King Shi Dakai rejected the kindness of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom temporarily appeared a short-term equilibrium situation.
But this situation was soon swayed by the young and highly motivated young new generals under the Wing King, and Shi Dakai also became an obstacle, no matter how great a person's prestige is, it is not as big as the ** and ambition for power in the bones of human beings, and fathers, sons, and brothers can be killed for absolute power.
In this regard, Lin Haijiang admired Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, the ruling decision-makers of the Heavenly Kingdom, who had not won the final victory or occupied the overwhelming victory, and had frequent internal bars, as if it was difficult to stop without killing a river of blood?
Lin Haijiang knows very well that once this kind of thing is torn open for the first time, then the second and third times are like commonplace, this is the first domino, and it is also the lid of Pandora's box, and now unless Hong Xiuquan or Yang Xiuqing is one of them killed, there will never be peace, and the previous secondary balance is just brewing a bigger storm.
After Lin Haijiang turned around a few times, he looked at Wang Faren and said, "Have the teams that went to the rescue and answer all set off?" ”
Wang Faren nodded and said, "The ten-member squad of the special operations team, the sixth group of security protection, is led by the team leader Zhou Dajun!" ”
Lin Haijiang nodded and said: "I know Zhou Dajun, he is good at guarding, but he is still lacking in courage and enterprising, he is really not a good candidate!" ”
Wang Faren rubbed his hands helplessly and said: "If it happened suddenly, if you change the battle in the temporary deployment, you will not delay the best time, and it will also have a big impact on the players below." ”
Lin Haijiang nodded and said, "Your special operations team is very skilled!" But I found that many of them went their own way, lacking basic tacit understanding and cooperation? Personal heroism prevails? It doesn't feel like it's a professional military force, it's a bit like a grass platform team juggling. ”
Wang Faren's face turned red and said: "Führer, this is a mistake in our work, because most of these people are capable people who have come back from our heavy gifts, and unruliness is their characteristic, almost everyone has a unique skill of smiling and arrogant, and it is really difficult to achieve the feeling of a team like one person on your outline in terms of management training." ”
Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and said: "After this operation, all your ten action teams will be disbanded, and these people will be assigned to the Imperial Army Military Academy as instructors, and a special training center affiliated to the Security Bureau will be established under the Military Police Branch, and the officers and non-commissioned officers who have more than three years of service experience will be accepted by the members of the Iron and Blood Youth Regiment, and the trainees with excellent training results will be selected to form the Military Police Special Operations Team to replace the existing action team." ”
When Wang Faren heard Lin Haijiang's arrangement, he hurriedly said excitedly: "Then dare to be a good head!" I have long wanted to professionalize and regularize the Einsatzgruppen, but not to mention the small size of the Ministry of Intelligence, and now the large budget is always tight, so I have not been able to put it into action. ”
Lin Haijiang nodded and said: "I will solve the problem of funding, but Fu Shanxiang's problem needs you to solve it, immediately recover the fleet that set off for Tianjing, detain all materials and arms, clear the forces of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom in Guangzhou City, and then clean up the underground network of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Guangzhou, and then clear the underground network of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Guangzhou, and start quickly and ruthlessly!" Remember that safety comes first, and you must be prepared with both hands, armed rescue and necessary negotiation work, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom deceived her to go back just for the resources she had at hand, so Fu Shanxiang's personal safety will not be a problem in a short period of time, and we must also use this aspect to rescue as much as possible. ”
Wang Faren immediately opened his folder and began to report to Lin Haijiang several sets of plans prepared by the Intelligence Department.
At the same time, Fu Shanxiang, who had been sent to Tianjing, also roughly finally understood the general course of the incident, because the winged king Shi Dakai was unable to restrain his subordinates to lead the sword players and their families in the house to leave Tianjing, and the whereabouts of the East King Yang Xiuqing disappeared in the chaos? The main help in the capture of the Eastern Palace, the elite soldiers secretly transferred back by the Western Expeditionary Army dismantled the new foreign artillery used in the defense of Banbi Mountain.
Fu Shanxiang almost couldn't believe that someone had the audacity to destroy the Great Wall so much, and those foreign cannons that had the audacity to demolish Banbi Mountain and return to Tianjing to slaughter his brothers and sisters? Completely disregarding the safety of the kingdom of heaven? The East King is dead? Winged King running away? There is not much left of the old brothers and princes who started in the Kingdom of Heaven, is this the Kingdom of Heaven that they have set their hearts to? Can this changed kingdom of heaven still realize its original ideals? Could it be true that Lin Haijiang was unfortunate in his words?
There is no figure to be seen in the solemn Tianjing City, and there is even a disgusting smell of decay in the air, Fu Shanxiang, who is sitting in the carriage, closes her eyes and recuperates, she is worried about her future, although she is nominally a person from the East Temple, but what she has always held in her heart is the entire Heavenly Kingdom, can the King of Heaven understand her hard work?
Thinking that the foreign cannons he had painstakingly obtained from Lin Haijiang one by one were used to slaughter his brothers, Fu Shanxiang was heartbroken, he hated Lin Haijiang's stubbornness before, and every time he seemed to be in trouble with her, either the price had risen, or the ammunition and spare parts of the artillery were out of stock, etc.
Because the brothers and sisters of the Kingdom of Heaven lacked knowledge and experience in the use and maintenance of foreign guns and cannons, and were even unwilling to wipe their own weapons at all, the loss of weapons on the Heavenly side was almost several times that of the old port, and the intact rate of the newly issued foreign guns dropped to about 40 percent after two or three months.
Fu Shanxiang knew very well that Lin Haijiang's warehouse was full of munitions made in the old port or purchased from the West, and those foreign guns and cannons were equipped with 200,000 to 300,000 people, so she didn't understand why Lin Haijiang hoarded such a large amount of arms instead of expanding the army? Why do you repeatedly struggle with yourself on the issue of one or two guns?
Does he like to enjoy this tangled process? Fu Shanxiang remembered the funniest last time, he ripped off his clothes in anger and exposed his bandeau and told the man that he could do whatever he wanted, but then the arms had to be tapped, and the man fled, and the next few transactions were very smooth, and there were even giveaways, which was a very good omen for Fu Shanxiang.
Although the gift was only a beautiful and short revolver, Fu Shanxiang, who had been in contact with weapons for many years, also unknowingly fell in love with those cold and cruel things, and those weapons that could take people's lives in an instant had a deadly beauty for her.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of the Tianwang Mansion, Fu Shanxiang did not change into the official uniform that once belonged to her, nor did she wear the official uniform newly given by the Heavenly King and the ornaments to protect the weather, but wore a set of gouache skirts given by Lin Haijiang and got off the car.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar gate, Fu Shanxiang even found that there were some black things on the red lacquered gold doorposts on both sides and the shadow wall walls? Only to look closely and realize that it was actually bloodstains?
In the secondary hall, the much older Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan sat on the dragon chair, the hypocritical smile on his face seemed to be squeezed out, and the civil and military generals in the main hall all had a common characteristic, that is, young, Fu Shanxiang looked around for a week and almost did not find a person she knew, it seems that the Kingdom of Heaven has carried out a big change.
Some young generals were also looking at the legendary Fu Shanxiang, and after a while, Hong Xiu said all-rounder: "Prime Minister Chunguan, you have worked hard, and the Heavenly Father has sent a decree to recruit you back to reward you, if you have any needs, just mention it!" ”
Fu Shanxiang took a deep breath and said slowly: "May I ask the Holy Will of the Heavenly King, is the East King okay at the age of nine thousand?" ”
Before Fu Shanxiang's words fell, a young general on the side who was dressed as a military advisor and was not as old as his son suddenly shouted: "Hugh is presumptuous, the Eastern Annihilation is in chaos, and together with the inactive Annihilation of the Marquis of the People's Republic of China, you are a broken person surnamed Yang Hua who dares to mention the Eastern Annihilation again and will be punished as complicity." ”
Fu Shanxiang glanced at him contemptuously and angrily said: "Barking dog, the foreign guns and cannons used by Heaven are not negotiated by me, and Heaven still owes millions of taels of goods, even if I sell my body, I am also sold for Heaven, you go and sell me a few million taels to see?" You're not worth a big man. ”
Fu Shanxiang took advantage of the other party's stunned eyes and said: "When the marquis and the full hall of civil and military forces fought for the heavenly kingdom, where were you when they made immortal feats?" Do you wear your open crotch pants? Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will wait? Are you anxious to be a marquis? Who will obey you? ”
"Wang Jun, shut up!" The young man who looked like a military advisor immediately stopped talking and retreated to the side, and a long-faced and heroic young man wearing a costume of the Heavenly Weather dodged out from behind the first line of guards on the right side of the Heavenly King, and then smiled: "I am Qin Tianqiong, the Marquis of the Heavenly Heavens, and I am fortunate to see the Queen of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven today." ”
Fu Shanxiang knew that he must have concentrated the weakness of almost everyone here just now, otherwise this Xinzha Ding Tianhou who was standing behind the scenes would not have appeared, and it was because of their move that it was difficult to convince the public and control all kinds of military horses, so they strictly blocked the news, Fu Shanxiang still didn't believe that the King of Heaven would allow people to kill all his ministers? Even if you want to kill, you will do it selectively, rather than killing it indiscriminately.
But when Fu Shanxiang looked at Hong Xiuquan's eyes for a short time, Fu Shanxiang finally understood that everything turned out to be true, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was dead, and the civil and military marquis in the hall were also dead, I'm afraid that the bones of Shi Dakai, the winged king who led people away, also stinked and rotted in a ditch, right?
Fu Shanxiang suddenly remembered Lin Haijiang's words, when it is not violated, retreat is the advance, slowly try it, and decisively make a sword blockade at the right time to avenge the shame.
Obviously, there is a typical inviolability in front of her, so Fu Shanxiang chose to be silent, in her eyes, the king must be crazy, she doesn't know what the king wants to do? Do you kill all the old brothers and replace them with new ones? But who can guarantee that there will not be a Yang Xiuqing among the newcomers?
These executioners who can kill innocent people without scruples for power, ambition, and scruples are even more terrible than ten Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing is still a little worried about his brotherhood, and these executioners have no scruples, these words Fu Shanxiang is deeply buried in his heart.
Zhou Dajun looked at Tianjing City in the night and took a deep breath, this was the first time he had gone deep into the enemy's sphere of influence, his subordinates were inexperienced, and the members of the special task force were difficult to control.
After connecting with Tianjing's underground intelligence point, Zhou Dajun led his men and horses into the underground rice warehouse of a rice shop, and according to the inaccurate information obtained, Fu Shanxiang may have been confined to a house in Shuijing Hutong after meeting Hong Xiuquan.
Zhou Dajun looked at the sketch of Shuijing Hutong with a little headache, Shuijing Hutong is not as deep as the courtyard of the deep house, on the surface, the more complex the Hutong area, the easier it is to rescue, in fact, in the eyes of people like Zhou Dajun who have received professional training, such terrain is the most vulnerable to attack and encirclement, which is not conducive to the rapid evacuation after the operation, and the members of the special task force who have thundered and lightning before are now wiping their weapons and special flying knives, secret needles and other unique weapons.
As if Zhou Dajun's plan of action was completely redundant, as long as they could solve all the problems as soon as they made a move, Zhou Dajun felt very encouraged by the confidence of the special task force, but he disagreed with this kind of confidence that bordered on arrogance.
After several twists and turns, the action plan was finally formulated, and Zhou Dajun tirelessly instilled in the members of the special task force the important surnames and steps to cooperate with the time, and finally made the other party very impatient.
