Just after eight o'clock, two warehouse keepers arrived on motorcycles, and saw the familiar off-road vehicles parked at the gate of the warehouse, Zhu Daolin and the big dog Mulan were playing in the yard, and they were busy parking their motorcycles and came forward to say hello, and no one noticed that the goods under the west courtyard wall had disappeared.

Half an hour later, Lu Jianmin and Boss Yu arrived almost at the same time, and Boss Yu's Mercedes-Benz 600 was followed by two flatbed trucks and a crane.

Zhu Daolin told Lu Jianmin that the gun truck, gun mount and copper materials had just been shipped away, and when Lu Jianmin received the note handed over by the watchman, he didn't ask when Zhu Daolin arrived, thinking that Zhu Daolin was still the same as before, and his mysterious comrades-in-arms were shipped overnight, so he was not surprised, but was deeply interested in the precious wood placed on the side of the road, and asked Zhu Daolin why there were so many rare and good wood in the southwest region?

Hearing Zhu Daolin say that he was smuggled from Myanmar, Lu Jianmin sighed and was embarrassed to ask.

Boss Yu loaded the wood and transferred the account, grabbed Zhu Daolin alive and did not let him go, and said that he would invite Zhu Daolin and Lu Jianmin to have a drink.

Zhu Daolin had no choice but to agree, and when he arrived at the hotel, he called Chu Mei and told her to take a taxi, otherwise no one would drive back after drinking.

For the next three days, Zhu Daolin stayed at his parents' house and did not go anywhere, walking with his father during the day, shopping for vegetables and playing chess, cooking for his mother and Chu Mei at work, and playing the guzheng with his mother at night.

The dog Mulan follows Zhu Daolin everywhere, the first day when he arrives home, Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei take a bath for it, and then it no longer lies on the ground casually, and sleeps on the soft sofa in the living room at night, not noisy or noisy, very sensible, and soon won the favor of the family.

……

……

At midnight on the fourth day. Zhu Daolin suddenly appeared in the special warehouse in the northeast corner of the Baoshan Acropolis, and with the purple soft light of the gold steel ring that had not disappeared, Zhu Daolin first released his dog Mulan, and carefully looked at this empty warehouse that was closed on all sides and had only one gate.

Since the last storage of hundreds of tons of copper was transported, only 20 ships have not yet been sent to the Baguazhou shipyard in the huge warehouse, and 670 tons of copper are stacked in the warehouse with an area of less than 500 square meters. The remaining space was no longer enough to store 312 gun carriages and boat gun mounts.

In desperation, Zhu Daolin could only put the gun carriage and gun mount on top of the copper, quietly closed the dusty warehouse door, whispered a few words to Mulan, and one person and one dog carefully bypassed the camp and came to the alley east of the headquarters building, and then walked generously to the headquarters compound where the lanterns were hung.

When the two sentries saw Zhu Daolin, who was wearing a second-grade official robe, suddenly arrive with a majestic dog, they were so frightened that they hurriedly stood and saluted, and Zhu Daolin called one of them. He commanded in a low voice: "You go to the family courtyard and call General Shi here, don't alarm the others." ”

The sentry nodded heavily, carried the spear on his back, and trotted quickly to the south, Zhu Daolin took the dog into the dark headquarters building, climbed to the second floor and entered the conference room and waited patiently.

Half an hour later, all the officers of the Baoshan Guard and more than 1,000 households, as well as the chief officers of the fleet such as Simeno, arrived in the conference room and reported to Zhu Daolin in turn on the latest situation of the headquarters.

Zhu Daolin listened to Shi Qingyang and Simeno's reports. The quartermaster who motioned to stand up sat down for the time being, slowly stood up and gave the battle order:

"It's half past one in the morning. I'll give you an hour and a half to prepare...... The 1st Marine Division was commanded by General Shi Qingyang, and all other battalions, including the cavalry battalion, except for the artillery battalion, had to board the ship before 3 a.m.! ”

"The East China Sea Fleet was commanded by General Simeno, with the cooperation of General Yang Yuchou and Colonel Yuan Yuming, and all warships and transports were mobilized. Acting in accordance with the previously drawn up plan of repression......"

"The fleet must blockade the four piers on Chongmingsha Island before seven o'clock to cover the smooth landing of the officers and men of the First Marine Division."

The generals were shocked, no one expected that Zhu Daolin would suddenly kill the father and son of the Yuan family after more than half a month of the incident.

Most people are unaware of the repression plan that was drawn up two months ago. Only the chief general Shi Qingyang, the deputy general Chai Chengan, and the commander of the Baoshan training base, Itaete. Mai Li and the chief of naval orders, Simeno, participated in the development of the battle plan.

Zhu Daolin looked at Zhang Yuan, the 31-year-old cavalry battalion commander, with blazing eyes: "Lao Zhang, your task is the most arduous, prepare enough explosives packages, two transport ships and six small cargo ships to assist your department to set off first." ”

"After going ashore, the 600 brothers of your cavalry battalion don't care about anything, they rush directly to the Yuan family compound, no matter what method you use to get in, I have only one request: I must not let go of the Yuan family, whether it is dead or alive, I want to see the Yuan family's father and son and the 85 people in the house!"

Zhang Yuan, who was stocky and full of beard, stepped forward: "The general can rest assured, even if his subordinates fight to the point of one soldier, they will never let the Yuan family get away with 85 people!" ”

……

……

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night breeze is slow.

More than 60 large and small ships loaded with more than 5,400 officers and men and nearly 1,000 horses left Baoshan Military Port one after another, and divided into four fleets to sail westward.

Zhu Daolin, who was still wearing the robes of a second-class military attaché, sat around a long table covered with maps and documents with eight generals and colonels, and listened to the report of Colonel Wang Fengwu, director of the East China Sea Fleet's military command department.

"The weather conditions are good, it is the night of the full moon, the visibility is relatively high, the easterly wind is about three levels, very suitable for night sailing, at present all the fleets have entered the main channel of the up, the speed is 11.5 kilometers per hour, if the wind does not decrease, you can arrive at the destination half an hour earlier."

Wang Fengwu, who is only 28 years old, still maintains a solemn posture after completing the report.

This medium-sized, ordinary-looking young colonel from the Jiangnan Navy Division Jiujiangwei, after being transferred to the Shangyuan Thousand Households Institute of 100 Households, diligent and hard training performance, was transferred by the discerning Zhu Daolin to the then Ziyang Martial Arts Hall as an instructor, together with five other colleagues who also came from the Navy Division, during the day training academy, at night to study the new army tactical theory and naval warfare theory, three months later transferred to the Baoshan Guard Garrison Battalion Commander, leading the officers and soldiers under his command to serve as the escort task of transporting immigrants.

In the battle of Dengzhou, Wang Fengwu was ordered to lead his troops to attack Changdao, judged the situation and commanded properly, only half an hour to clear the enemy on the island, the next morning again led his officers and soldiers to attack the north fort of Dengzhou City, with the support of naval guns, the first to jump into the icy sea water, led his 500 brothers to land on the beach, occupied two forts in the north of Dengzhou City in one fell swoop, captured more than 100 ships in Shuicheng, and there was no casualty in the whole battalion.

After the establishment of the East China Sea Fleet, Wang Fengwu, who was well versed in naval and land warfare, was strongly recommended by generals such as Simeno, Bagas, and Li Changlong, and was exceptionally promoted to the head of the East China Sea Fleet's military command department, and was deeply respected and trusted by Zhu Daolin.
