Geng Jingzhong was still sulking, and Li Guangdi also came from outside.

"See the Grand Governor!"

"Get up, what's polite! Pontus is annoying, don't make me angry. ”

I have always been able to understand Geng Jingzhong's mood best to be Li Guangdi, even Yao Qisheng is a step worse. After all, Li Guangdi has followed Geng Jingzhong the longest, and he is also the same age. Yao Qisheng is a little older, and he won't talk so casually together.

"The Metropolitan Governor is still worried about the establishment of the prince?"

"What do you say?" Geng Jingzhong said angrily.

Li Guangdi smiled: "It seems that the authorities are fans again!" The Metropolitan Governor has always been resolute and rarely interfered with by the opinions of others. What's wrong this time? ”

"Go on!"

"The Metropolitan Governor is in his prime, and at this time, he is determined to forge ahead and move forward bravely, and there is no need to establish a son now. If you fail, all of them will be empty, the world is still young, and escaping overseas is just a lingering breath, and if you succeed, all the qiē you think about now is in vain. ”

"I've also considered this, but the crowd is surging below!"

"Hehe, does the Metropolitan Governor really think so?" Lee continued to smile.

Geng Jingzhong also smiled, he was just waiting for someone to be able to say this to him, and his heart immediately felt much better.

"Then I'll have a Qiangang dictatorship, our war against Wu Sangui, that is with the determination to win, now all should focus on the war, and all the others will stand aside. You are responsible for giving orders, and the matter of establishing an heir is to be stopped, and no one is allowed to mention it again. Let those people focus on their work. Do what you have at hand. It's serious. ”

In the early morning of 16 June, the Mawei Army fleet had been patrolling the Yangtze River for half a month, but it had not landed on both sides of the river at all, except for the river, which of course referred to the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the west of Hunan. This time, the naval fleet received an order to prepare for an official attack on Yueyang. Therefore, after the arrival of the Mawei Navy in the target waters, the landing operation was about to begin.

The strategic intention of the Mawei Army was obvious, and since the Yangtze River had been cut off, the south of the Yangtze River would be the focus of the next stage of the offensive. The Wu army could not cross the Yangtze River for a while, so the troops in the south were not enough to confront the Mawei army, and the south of the Yangtze River, including Wu Sangui's old nest, Kunming, Yunnan, would be in danger. And the families of the main generals of the Wu army are all in Yunnan, if Yunnan falls into the hands of the Mawei army, the Wu army will almost be scattered without fighting.

Wu Sangui should have regretted it extremely at this time, he should not have chased the Qing army to the north. Now it has been cut off. Impatience is the best way to describe it!

The morning fog has not yet lifted, even through a telescope. The view of the shore is still vague. However, the terrain could be roughly identified, and the Mawei Army only selected an area, and the warships drove into the South Lake, landed in the South Lake, and inserted into the hinterland of Yueyang City, which was the best landing point.

There were not many houses on the shore of the South Lake, but there was a beacon mound on a high slope somewhere at the mouth of the lake, and according to the reports of the scouts who had landed on the shore in advance, a small force of about fifty men was stationed in the tower. It is so close to Yueyang City, just to call the police to the people inside, which is of course the nail that the Mawei Army will pull out first.

The Mawei Army originally planned to send some people to settle the matter in the middle of the night, but the commander of the First Fleet, Ning Wu, the chief of staff, Ju Da and others all had other ideas. Although they agreed that the scouts of the Ningwu Reconnaissance Brigade would secretly land at night, they asked them not to do anything to the beacon tower and only monitor it from a distance.

"We don't need to sneak around at all, now that we're on the ground, let's say hello to our master loud enough!"

From the binoculars, the people in the beacon seemed to have spotted them, and they were in a panic, Juda raised his arm high, and then waved it down:

"Fire!"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

In the rumbling cannon, the fire burst out, the rocks flew, and the small beacon tower was instantly submerged in dust and smoke. When this beacon tower was originally built, it was mainly to monitor the enemy situation on the river, and the location was chosen to be at the mouth of the Nanhu Lake, which had a wide field of vision, and was very close to the river, so it was also very close to the battleship.

It was a bit of a bully to besiege a powerless beacon with a dozen horsetail fourth-class warships, and even if all the shells were solid, it only took a round of artillery to smash this humble building with an earthen structure. After the first round of salvo fire was over and the dust and smoke had cleared slightly, Juda ordered the scheduled second round of shooting to be suspended, and while observing the pile of collapsed bricks and earth through the binoculars, he turned back to Ning Wu and the others:

"Do you want to fight?"

"Looks like no."

Now that the majesty of the Mawei Navy has been shown, it is not interesting to whip the corpses in front of a pile of ruins. I didn't expect that the beacon tower, which looked like a bit of a western castle, was so unbeaten, and Ning Wu was a little excited.

However, just after relaxing a little, I suddenly saw a few figures rushing out of the ruins, and fled towards Yueyang City with great speed - I have to say that the luck of these people is really good, they can survive such a terrible shelling, and they still have the ability to run wildly.

It's just that Ning Wu's reconnaissance brigade has been lying in ambush around the perimeter, and those "lucky people" who had just escaped from the shelling had not had time to run a few steps before they fell to the ground one after another under the sniper fire of several sharpshooters with excellent marksmanship on the Mawei battleship, and none of them could run fifty meters away.

It wasn't until the last rebel soldier fell to the ground in despair that Ning Wufang smiled coldly. The order went down: "The marines can go ashore at this moment, maybe this time we can pick a big bargain and land."

"As planned. Landing of the Marines of the Fleet ......"

With Ning Wu's order. The command ship raised the signal flag. Ships of all sizes of the First Fleet are getting busy. One by one, the troop carriers approached the shore as close as possible, lowered their hanging landing boats, and the soldiers also lined up in several rows and climbed onto the boats along the rope nets hanging on the side of the side, and rowed towards the river bank with shouts and shouts.

The Mawei Navy was not dispatched in its entirety, and only the soldiers of the Marine Corps went down from the battleship.

As the first company gained a foothold on the shore, more and more of them wore new brown uniforms. Dark-skinned soldiers with short stature began to appear along the coast of Shandong. After the initial consolidation of the landing positions, heavy equipment also began to enter the landing procedure. Many of these army units have also come ashore. They were not slow to move on the troop carrier, and they watched the news all day long.

It was not difficult for ordinary infantry to seize the beach in small boats, but it was not easy for a three-pounder pound bronze cannon weighing two hundred pounds to be transported ashore by guò barge. Fortunately, the equipment was arranged on the Mawei Army sail warship galleon, and in the middle of these galleons, a simple lifting device composed of a pulley block and a cantilever system was installed to lift heavy loads.

At this time, the bulky cannons and small cannons were firmly fixed to the rafts specially designated by the Mawei Army, and were carefully leveled to the surface of the river through the guò boom suspension. The number of empty buckets on each raft is calculated to ensure sufficient buoyancy.

After the raft is in the water. It was towed to the shore in a dinghy and untied the cables. On average, there were more than a dozen people waiting for a cannon, and finally they finally tossed ashore.

"Commander, does the artillery need to be put into combat readiness?"

Hao Daqi, the commander of the army artillery battalion who followed the first artillery to land, asked Ning Wu in a banner, who was holding a telescope to observe the situation on the shore. Putting down the binoculars, Ning Wu made a decision:

"Let's get ready, turn the muzzle, and prepare for another round of artillery bombardment on the city. There are already a lot of our people in Yueyang City, so we can't just shoot and kill them. Deterrent, it is estimated that our people in the city will be more likely to succeed. ”

With Ning Wu's order, the command ship raised the signal flag, and the ships of all levels of the First Fleet began to get busy.
