Yang Haiwei's naval headquarters is located next to the shipyard, in a barracks near the dock.

When Yang Hao arrived, he found that the personnel were almost complete, including Cai Qu, the county chief bookkeeper, and there was no shortage of people who could grasp the real strength of the local area.

Yang Haiwei was wearing a military uniform and sat in the middle of the combat command room with a solemn expression. After Yang Hao entered the door, he nodded, then stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here, then our meeting will start immediately." ”

Cai Qu and the others were a little puzzled, but when they saw the solemn expressions of all the people leading the troops, they immediately knew that something unusual had happened. Immediately sit upright and pricked up your ears to listen.

Yang Haiwei was not verbose, turned around and opened the curtain, revealing the coastal map of the peninsula, and used his baton to the sea more than 200 kilometers away: "According to the reconnaissance report of our maritime patrol post, we found that a large number of Japanese fleets were heading in the direction of the peninsula. The straight-line target seems to be Jiaozhou Bay, but we have every reason to suspect that it is coming at us. ”

"Huh?! The Japanese are coming? ”

A group of gentry officials who had never seen a battle exclaimed in surprise, but immediately closed their mouths under Cai Qu's stern gaze.

Cai Qu is too deeply involved, and he knows much more inside information than ordinary locals. He knew that an industry of the Yang family's size would attract covetous eyes sooner or later. It's just that in his conjecture, the biggest threat should have come from the imperial court. Where did I expect the Japanese to strike first?

Although there were some small accidents, Cai Qu knew that he would have to face them sooner or later. Therefore, he only moved in his heart, and did not show a look of surprise.

Yang Haiwei secretly praised in his heart that this kind of character who can suppress the scene can play a good role at critical moments. The fly in the ointment is that they have too much influence and appeal. Pushing the revolution down to the grassroots level can become a great resistance. Transform their work. There is still a long way to go.

See that no one questioned. Yang Haiwei continued: "You should know what the Japanese are. From the Song Dynasty to the present millennium, they have never given up on occupying China. This invasion of Goryeo and the attack on Liaodong were just the beginning. There were much-needed industrial facilities and well-trained workers and laborers, who were sure to burn and loot. ”

What kind of virtue is the Japanese Kou, the people in the coastal areas have heard too much from the stories passed down from generation to generation. Plus after the arrival of the Yang family. A series of anti-Japanese deeds and stories of famous generals such as Qi Jiguang have been widely disseminated in the form of storytelling and movies, which can be said to be known to women and children.

At that moment, someone shouted indignantly: "Little devil on dog day, you can't see us have two days of peaceful birthday!" If he dares to rob them, the men have to beat them out even if they risk their lives! ”

"Hit hit! Resolutely not let the little nose of the East come in and harm our township! It's hard to get some family business, how can you teach them to rob it! ”

The hall was full of shouting and killing.

The opinions were very unanimous, Yang Haiwei saved his lips and tongues, and immediately began to assign tasks: "The enemy is not good, and the number is huge, and he must be determined to succeed in one fell swoop." We cannot afford to take it lightly. We must fully mobilize and respond with all our might! I hope. All parties in the county, the government and the people, must do their best, fulfill their duties, unite as one, and repel this strong enemy! ”

"Master Cai," he stared at Cai Guan, "Please immediately mobilize the three shifts and six rooms and the patrol soldiers, and scatter them to all townships and towns in the county, strictly investigate suspicious people, and strictly guard the key points of each checkpoint." From now on, only enter, not exit! The Civil Defence Force will fully cooperate. ”

Cai Qu Huoran got up and agreed awe-inspiringly: "Cai will take the order!" ”

Yang Haiwei turned his head to look at Li Yingjiu: "Please Li Lian Chang can summon all the reservists to train Yong, and divide the reservists into three routes to Andong Wei, the shipyard wharf and the two cities to help complete the fortification construction." And get ready to jump into battle at any time! The rest of the practice is deployed by Cai's master book. ”

Li Yingjiu stood up and patted his chest: "Wrapped in someone!" ”

Yang Haiwei also said to several leaders of the labor battalion: "The labor teams scattered at various construction sites should be immediately gathered and followed by the troops to serve as auxiliary forces for baggage transfer and earthwork work. Tell them that those who are heroic and outstanding in this battle will be given priority to be selected to enter the front-line troops, and they will be rewarded! ”

The camp leaders were overjoyed. Everyone knows that after entering the front-line army, the whole family will follow suit, basically have no worries about food and clothing, and it is possible to make a fortune.

Then, Yang Haiwei told Fang Yunhai of the Intelligence Section: "Scatter all the personnel out and keep an eye on the movements of the officers and troops in the direction of Yizhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou." If there is an abnormality, report it immediately! ”

Cai Qu and other people who are familiar with the style of officialdom immediately sank in their hearts, this is to prevent the imperial court from taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well!

What virtues the Manchu court had, they knew too well. Guarding against the Han is better than a qiē, knowing that the Yang family's strength will greatly enhance its aggressive ability after being snatched away by the Japanese, and the imperial court will never feel distressed at all. They will just clap their hands and applaud, and then take the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

Fortunately, the Yang family did not take it lightly, this arrangement is very appropriate.

Yang Haiwei finally looked at Yang Hao: "You look at the arrangement of the combat troops, and all personnel, materials and equipment can be called." I have only one request, I can't let a devil enter the county border! ”

Yang Hao stood up straight and said categorically: "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Yang Haiwei raised his hand to look at his watch: "It's 8:35 in the morning, and at 10 o'clock, all personnel are deployed in place." At twelve o'clock, we will send a notice to the whole county about the enemy's situation. By two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole group must complete the construction of the position. In this battle, you can only win, not lose! ”

"Victory!"

All the staff shouted, and then rushed out of the venue and hurriedly rushed to their respective posts.

This shows how high the efficiency of the county's forces has been after the integration of more than half a year. Each boss is accustomed to the division of labor, and after the task is posted, they expertly break it down, and they rarely or at all question anything.

And what's interesting is that no one present thought of it and wanted to report the matter to the county magistrate first, as if the power center of the county should be called by the Yang family like this.

This is not something that can be done by authoritarianism or the bribery of interests, and the people's hearts are turned back, so there must be enough reason to convince everyone. There is enough prestige for the crowd to follow. This. The Yang family is doing quite well.

and when all the people were gone. Yang Hao stepped forward and asked, "Has Grandpa been notified from there?" I'm afraid the devils will split up their forces and attack over there. If you can't do it, take him back to the old mansion? ”

Yang Haiwei glared at him: "You still don't know the old man's temper?" He had never done anything to retreat. I persuaded him, and he said, 'I beat even the best little devil back then, and now I beat him to the ancestor of the devil with a hand'! Now it is estimated that he has already mobilized the escort team and the civilian battalion to build fortifications, ready to give the devil a head-on blow! ”

Yang Hao stuck out his tongue: "I guess that's the result." Thanks to the last time, a few cannons were transported over first, and the Qingdao Mountain Fort was built first. Hehe, if the little devil drives the boat in, it will be very lively. ”

Since in Jiaozhou Bay Lane military port and shipyard. A large industrial base, Yang Hao does not dare to take it lightly. Taking advantage of Zhang Gaoyuan's absence, after he saw it last time, he transported a few cannons that had been cast over to take a risk. Condescending, enough to threaten the entire overseas and beyond.

Yang Haiwei knocked on the table and said solemnly: "This time is unusual, we have no way out, we must resolutely resist." Whether or not you can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and force them to retreat depends on how well your ground forces fight. If they rush into the county. You know how strict the consequences are. ”

Yang Hao put away his smile, needless to say. Once the county was severely destroyed. Even if they win in the end, the people's hearts may not be as neat as before. Yang's appeal must be built on continuous victory.

The current navy is too weak to compete head-on with the Japanese army, and only by repelling its land forces can the sea power do nothing.

"What about the port? The number of warships of the little devils is large, and it is not a joke to bombard them all together. ”

Yang Hao was worried that his heart would be enemyed. Yang Haiwei raised his chin and said in a stiff tone: "Then let them take a good look at what a real cannon is!" ”

More than an hour later, all the passes around the county called back one after another to report that the defense had been completed, and unless hundreds of armed forces were encountered, no one would rush to the position guarded by at least two light machine guns.

Qiu Baoren, who was watching the bustle on the side of the test battery, was immediately invited over, and Yang Haiwei told him frankly: "We have found that the Japanese fleet is rushing towards the locality, and it is expected that it will arrive and attack in the evening." At present, among the officers and men of the Beiyang Navy, General Qiu has the highest official rank, I want to know, can you help? ”

Qiu Baoren's head was a little cloudy, but he quickly reacted and nodded categorically: "It is the duty of a soldier to kill the enemy!" All the officers and men of this ship and the 'Dingyuan ship' are under the dispatch of Mr. Yang. But our boats are all on the stage, so we can't move! ”

Yang Haiwei said: "As long as you can fire, it's fine!" Now we have 10 gunboats and one freighter in Hong Kong, and we ask General Qiu to allocate some personnel to help with the ship. In addition, we also have a number of coastal defense heavy artillery, please help the gunners on board to help with them. ”

Qiu Baoren knew that the Yang family was not simple, and it was an eye-opener to see the advanced and amazing slipway with his own eyes. Looking at the cannon again today, there is no longer any doubt, so I can't think about it at this moment, so I immediately responded to the order.

After that, he went back and gathered all the officers and sailors of the two warships, a total of more than 400 people, and drove to the anti-wave construction site opposite the harbor, more than a kilometer away from the test battery.

He Pinzhang, the first mate of the "Zhenyuan" gang, didn't know what was going on, and asked suspiciously: "Lord Qiu, ask us to help fight the war, don't go on the boat, what are you doing here?" Why don't we all fill in the coastal trenches to defend us against the naval guns? ”

If you really do that, it's just a shame. How can a land fortification withstand the bombardment of naval artillery!

Qiu Baoren also had doubts in his heart, but he thought deeper.

From the more than 20 days of exchanges, he clearly felt that the Yang family deliberately made friends with most of the officers and sailors of the Beiyang Fleet. Of course, it is not the people who give gifts to corrupt and get married, but the courses such as guò secrecy training, Mandarin learning, grassroots literacy, and the teaching of new military concepts to show them the depth of their heritage.

At the same time, it has continued to inculcate in the hearts of the people the concepts of the country, the nation, and the people, as well as the ethics that modern soldiers should have and the definition of service objects.

This kind of thing is very taboo in the imperial court, but Qiu Baoren's ghost did not resist and expose it, but listened carefully to the naval course, and silently watched it coldly. At the same time, he did not forget to restrain everyone, and no one was allowed to reveal a word to Zhang Peilun's civil officials.

Since the Yang family had other plans, of course they would not trap them. Qiu Baoren waved his hand indifferently: "You'll know when you get there!" ”

Soon, they drove into the front, and they found that there were already thousands of well-trained and well-trained people, building a series of artillery positions along the bulging breakwater by the sea!

In the other direction, a long line of steam trucks and steam tracked tractors were roaring abruptly, dragging heavy guys to this direction.

When the navy's eyes were mostly good, Qiu Baoren simply used the telescope to take a closer look, and saw that behind one of the tracked vehicles, the towed guy had a thick pipe pointing high and obliquely pointing behind him.

Tang Chungui, the second mate of his gun, exclaimed: "It's a cannon!" Lots of cannons! (To be continued......)
