During the recommendation period, I try to update it every day, but because I haven't saved the manuscript, I may not be able to write it when I'm busy, so let's be considerate of each other ^-^
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"When Cheng Yegao talked to me, he mentioned that he wanted to recruit an several times, but I was perfunctory. However, I don't think it's impossible to consider negotiations, after all, we don't have to be hostile to the Ming government, as long as there is a safe environment to live in. ”
The room gradually became lively, and everyone discussed the ideas put forward by Professor Li. Not everyone understood the old professor when he talked about theories before, but now everyone understands when it comes to negotiation and "Zhao'an", including Xiao Ye and a group of post-90s generations, even if they haven't read the novel "Water Margin", "The River Flows Eastward ......" has always been heard.
"Zhao'an is unrealistic, I discussed with Pang Yu on the first day I came: if there are only one or two people, then we can try to change ourselves to adapt to the control of the Ming Dynasty government, but our large group of people, no matter what, it is impossible to integrate into it. If you really have to squeeze in, many of us will definitely be sacrificed or eliminated, and none of us here want to die, right? ”
Xie Xi said it very directly, and Professor Li also nodded in agreement:
"Yes, it is impossible for us modern people to accept a system that is four hundred years behind to rule, so I will only say that we should consider negotiations, negotiations on an equal footing, and let them accept our existence."
"It wasn't easy."
Ling Ning laughed beside him.
"The Ming Dynasty has always been extremely tough on such things - the Manchurians occupied the northeast for so many years, and Huang Taiji called himself Tiancong Khan. The soldiers of the Eight Banners pressed and beat the Ming army every time, but the Ming government still refused to negotiate peace with them. Not to mention small shrimp like us. ”
"It's not impossible to negotiate, the current governor of Fujian is Xiong Wencan, and this area of Hainan seems to be under his control. This old man is famous in history as a dove and fond of appeasement, and he just recruited Zheng Zhilong the year before last, and now he is proud...... Presumably still interested in appeasement? ”
Pang Yu put forward a little favorable factor, although in the future, the old Mr. Xiong Wencan was transferred to the military department and ran to recruit Zhang Xianzhong, but the people first surrendered and then rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and the dove was imprisoned and finally beheaded by the Ming court. But at least for now, he still holds the power.
"But Xiong Wencan's proposal can only be 'appeased', right? It is not the same as the peace negotiations we want. ”
The young man Wen Desi objected, but Pang Yu laughed:
"We don't have to worry about the name. Huang Taiji has always demanded equal treatment because he wants to deceive Mongolia and North Korea in the name of the name, and what does it matter if we hang a sun, moon and golden dragon flag on our heads? As long as the Ming government does not interfere in what we are doing -- Zheng Zhilong will not collect protection money in the South China Sea after accepting the appeasement? ”
"If that's the case...... It can be considered. ”
Xie Xi groaned, but at this time, Wang Haiyang next to him said hard:
"The fate of Song Jiang in the end of the Water Margin, you don't know, right?"
As a soldier, Wang Haiyang is tired of any words related to surrender from the bottom of his heart, what kind of appeasement, negotiation, in his opinion, all are capitulationism, and surrender is absolutely no good end!
Suddenly faced with such a simple and determined revolutionary, everyone was a little stunned, but fortunately, Tang Jian quickly came over to persuade Wang Haiyang, but he also put forward his own views:
"I don't want to interfere with everyone's judgment, but historically, negotiations only make sense when the two sides are evenly matched. At present, the Ming Dynasty's army on Hainan Island is still very strong, and I don't think the other side will be sincere, whether it is appeased or negotiated. ”
Tang Jian didn't say much, but it was very favorable, and even a "peace negotiator" like Professor Li had to admit that it was not a good time to negotiate.
"Indeed, they will only really consider peace talks until the Ming government confirms that it is not capable of destroying us."
There is no need for Tang Jian to remind him, Pang Yu has always seen the shape in front of his eyes very clearly:
"As long as that Qiongya general still has troops in his hands to threaten Lingao's side, they won't really think about appeasement. So this battle can't be avoided, sooner or later it will have to be fought! We are only considering negotiations for the sake of the future - when the Ming Dynasty government is no longer capable of threatening us, we might as well lower our posture and accept something to appease us, so as not to keep harassing the Ming army and toads on the instep of the toad - I can't bite you to death and disgust you! ”
"It's better to fight late than early, and it's better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively -- is it possible for us to take the initiative to attack?"
Ling Ning immediately said, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the military group Tang Jianjian, but the latter shook his head and vetoed it without much thought.
"Impossible, all the young and middle-aged people on our side are counted as more than 100 people, there are less than 70 muskets, the ammunition base is insufficient, and there is no heavy firepower."
Looking up at the few young men from the military group in front of him, Tang Jian shook his head again:
"Your training is not complete, and sending you to war now is pure murder."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was tense again, Engineer Xu Hui, who had always been quiet at the meeting, rarely took the initiative to speak:
"Regarding heavy firepower, you can rest assured that the power problem has been solved, and in about half a month, we will be able to come up with samples for artillery modifications."
"Where's the cannonball?"
Xie Xi immediately asked, and Xu Hui smiled confidently:
"Of course, I studied shells at the Arsenal. There are even rockets and grenades if you go by the way......"
But at this time, the old horse who was in charge of cooperating with Engineer Xu to develop the artillery project, Comrade Ma Qianshan, a former artillery officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, added very strictly:
"Even if there are artillery and shells, we have to conduct a test firing first, determine the ballistic parameters, and make the corresponding ruler, and this work will take at least half a month."
"That's not bad......
Pang Yu groaned and turned to the chemistry group colleagues next to him.
"Explosives production should be fine now, right?"
The chemistry group is still in a chaotic manner, Li Jingcheng and Wu Kun, two guys who are barely in charge, met and discussed for a long time, and finally finally gave an affirmative answer:
"Basically, no problem. We intend to use nitrocellulose as a propellant and charge for bullets, and potassium chlorate as a propellant for artillery and explosive packs...... If there is enough electricity, it can produce a large amount of electricity within a month. ”
"It's a month too......"
Pang Yu was thinking, and at this time, Wu Nanhai, the glasses man next to him, also caught up to join in the fun:
"Ha, the first batch of sweet potatoes on my farm will be ripe in a month, with a yield of thousands of catties per mu!"
………………
After some chaotic consultation and sorting, it was basically determined that if there was a month as a buffer, the strength of the entire crossing group would be greatly enhanced, and although the number of people who could fight was still very small at that time, the firepower and weapons could be raised to a new level.
"This month happens to be the first month...... But I don't think the Ming army will send troops during the Spring Festival, right? There is still time. ”
Pang Yu began to judge again, but this time, the military team obviously didn't trust him as a dog-headed military advisor.
"We can't pin our own safety on the judgment of the Ming army, and repeat the mistake of the last time, we must not be blocked at home and carry out a surprise attack again." Tang Jian stood up decisively, "I will personally go to the Qiongzhou Mansion to do reconnaissance and truly understand their troop situation and deployment." If they do show signs of sending troops, they will engage in sabotage and harassment to delay time. ”
"I'll go with you."
Wang Haiyang and Beiwei immediately got up to respond, and a group of little guys such as Ye Mengyan also jumped up and said that they wanted to follow, but Tang Jianguang clicked on Beiwei:
"Haiyang stayed to continue to guide the training, and Beiwei went with me."
Then he glared at the little ones again:
"You are all staying at home honestly, Haiyang will conduct intensive training for you, this year must not be thought of being comfortable, be mentally prepared!"
The lads were reprimanded and craned their necks, but at this time Xie Xi stood up and spoke:
"Old Tang, this operation is also an opportunity. Sooner or later, the little ones will have to get exercised, and taking one or two people out to practice will definitely be much better than simply training at home. ”
The words of dismissal were obviously very convincing, Tang Jian finally nodded after thinking for a moment, and immediately named the two people:
"Ye Mengyan, Wei Aiwen, you two are ready, go back and set off together."
"Good!" "Yes!"
The two young men who were named jumped up excitedly, both of them were seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school students, and they were full of fantasy and enthusiasm. But they were immediately slapped by Wang Haiyang again:
"How many times have you said it, you have to say 'to' in unison!"
Looking at the excited appearance of the two young people, Tang Jian looked back at the northern latitude:
"How about it, let's bring one each, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
The only authentic scout who traveled through the crowd just shrugged his shoulders:
"It doesn't matter, anyway, if they drag their feet, I won't hesitate to throw away the burden."
The military plan was thus quickly finalized. But even if the number of weapons and explosives can be increased, one core issue remains difficult to solve - human resources. After hearing about the military strength of the Qiongzhou side, everyone had never felt so urgently in their hearts - their numbers were too small.
Although there are many problems such as language barriers, difficulty in trusting, etc., everyone knows in their hearts that they will have to pass this hurdle sooner or later. Without local fresh blood to join, relying on their more than 100 numbers can only occupy a small county town at best.
In fact, if it weren't for the era of Chongzhen, an unlucky child, everyone might really be at ease to find a remote place to live by themselves behind closed doors. After all, not everyone has ambitions, saying that if they run to ancient times, they must rebel and seize the world. But in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, this idea could never be realized - even if the Ming government's own repression or peasant rebellion were not considered, the pigtailed soldiers of the Eight Banners would sweep the world in a few decades would be enough to discourage any idea of appeasement.
