On the third day of October in the second year of Wuding in the Ming Dynasty, the ocean of Qinzhou Bay, Lianzhou Prefecture, Guangdong, was full of large and small ships. From time to time, one or two ships approached the shore shoals, spitting out a large crowd of people and things, and then the noise began to extend into the silent interior.6

"That's not going to work, it's too slow." Gong Tian, who was standing on the flagship Wu Anjun of the 6,000 materials, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but tighten his brows, as the supreme commander of the Deng 6 operation led by the sailor side this time, he knew the importance of this battle to the sailor. "Are there any other ports where you can get on the 6?"

Ma Tao, chief of staff of the Fubo fleet standing beside him, thought for a while and gave an answer: "I remember that the water surface on the side of Fangchenggang is also very open, and it may be possible to let some transport ships move there to go ashore, but after going ashore, it may take half a day's walk." ”

"Then what are you hesitating about, flag, let Tan An lead his people to escort part of the boat group over"

As soon as the flag on this side went out, a small paddle on the other side came out of the many transport ships rushing to the beach like a swimming fish, and leaned towards the Wu Anjun. After a while, a fourth-class staff officer in his early twenties quickly climbed up the gangway, and after a brief exchange of orders with the sentry on duty, he went straight to the stern where Gong and Ma were standing.

After going up to the stern tower and giving a military salute, the loyal military captain hurriedly reported: "Military gate, Commander Yang has led his troops to the city of Qinzhou, and the Qing Dynasty Zhizhou Mao Gaifeng led the same knowledge, and the garrison below the city of 39 civil and military officials, 247 green flag soldiers, and 109 township warriors trained out of the city to surrender. ”

The commander in the mouth of the young staff officer was actually not the official position of Yang Jie, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Hailongxiang Division, because a total of eleven foot posts, two artillery posts and three baggage posts of the three naval regiments under the Fubo fleet were used in this operation, so Yang Jie, who commanded these troops in a unified manner, was also respected as the commander of the detachment according to the habit of the naval division.

"Mao Gaifeng has only descended now, don't you think it's too late?" Gong and Ma have not yet responded, and Tang Ping, the captain of the Wu Anjun, came out of nowhere, as one of the new systems of the Zheng Jun's naval division, in addition to the commander of the detachment and the captain of the flagship, the military attache of the naval division of Gong Tian is no longer in charge of the ship personally. "Du Shigui of Lianzhou Mansion was demoted five months ago, and a mere Sanzhou governor still dares to resist stubbornly so far, it is conceivable that he must be a hardcore traitor."

"Mao Gaifeng is also difficult to do, after all, there are half battalions of soldiers in Zuojiang Town, Gui Province in the city, and he doesn't dare to act rashly even if he has the heart." Ma Tao, who was in a good mood after learning that Qinzhou was recovered, defended this loyal minister of the Qing court. "In any case, as soon as Qinzhou falls, the whole of Guangdong can be regarded as completely recovered."

Regarding Ma Tao's words, Gong Tian nodded noncommittally and then arranged to the staff officer who reported the news: "Inform Commander Yang, let him rein in the troops and rectify them on the spot, and when the military resources arrive, in addition to leaving the guard troops, continue to march to Nanning Mansion with the greatest fanfare, and be sure to let the Qing army know that our army is going north." ”

The staff officer took the order and left, and at this time, Tang Ping, who had just accosted but was ignored, walked to Gong Tian's side: "Junmen, Commander Yang's troops are still too small, is it a little too reckless to go north like this?" I don't think it will be possible to send some sailors from various ships to form a temporary team and transfer them to Commander Yang, so as to save him from being overstretched at that time. ”

"That's the way to do it." Ma Tao agreed, and at the same time he said. "My lord, doesn't the king intend to set up a naval division under each fleet, or let's take the first step and take advantage of the opportunity to attack Nanning to expand it on the spot, even if it is not settled in the future, it is nothing more than another deployment."

There is a reason for Ma Tao's words, Zheng Kezang in view of the fact that the naval corps of the governor's mansion has the heavy responsibility of defending the territory and should not be lightly adjusted, and the naval division fleet has no direct 6th combat strength is not enough to deal with the situation, so he has the idea of setting up a special naval division, but this idea has been temporarily shelved in the Military Affairs Department because the expansion of the 6th division is now too expensive.

"You're going to get dizzy." Gong Tian swept the two classmates and rebuked unceremoniously. "What do you want to do if you don't follow the order to expand the army privately?" Speaking of this, Gong Tian looked at Ma Tao. "Brother Guangyi, you are also a person who is a prison officer, you said yourself, if I give this order today, how many reports will fall into the hands of King Yuyan tomorrow." When it came to the Master of the Military Law Division, Ma Tao couldn't help but feel a thrill, and Tang Ping also showed a wry smile on his face at the moment. "Okay, don't look like you're frowning, I'll remember it clearly next time, although we are all simple by the king, but there must be taboos, and the king doesn't rub sand in his eyes."

This topic is over here, in order to avoid embarrassment, Gong Tian changed the topic: "The Fubo fleet is about to be reorganized into the Western fleet, according to the king's will, in the future, from Nanao Island in the east to Thonburi in the west, and Nani (note: Pattani) are the cruising areas of this fleet. ”

Ma Tao also understood that some words could not be said thoroughly, so he said with interest: "The sea area involved in this fleet is so extensive, I am afraid that we have to let a second-class cruise gunboat with 3,000 or 4,000 materials take the lead." ”

"When it comes to the wide range of sea areas, the same is true for the Oriental Fleet and the South Ocean Fleet." At present, the Oriental Fleet is planned to be responsible for the Zhejiang Sea and the sea area north of the Zhejiang Sea, which is roughly the jurisdiction of the original Zhoushan Fleet and the Northern Fleet, while the Nanyang Fleet has to take into account the Fujian Sea and the Cruising Ryukyu, Luzon and Boni, which is also a sea frontier of thousands of miles, so Tang Ping felt that it was okay to use cruise ships to cruise, but the key was to snatch the heritage of the Zhenguo Fleet. "However, our enemies will be the Taixi countries in the future, so cruisers are indispensable."

"Cruisers?" Ma Tao smiled bitterly. "The shipyard has only built a few third-class cruisers of more than 8,000 materials over the years, how can we get our rounds." This is true, although the shipyards in Seogwipo and Ezo have been able to start producing small three-deck cruisers, but there are more monks and less porridge, more wolves and less meat, and the Oriental Fleet guarding the gateway of the Yangtze River is related to the safety of Nanjing. "Don't waste your mind."

"In any case, there must be one or two teams of cruisers." The establishment of the Zhenguo fleet was different from that of the Fubo and Northern fleets, and because it was mainly equipped with cruisers of about 8,000 materials, only two three-deck gunboats were assigned to the lower echelons. "Otherwise, if there is another scene of the naval battle off the coast of Jinran, we will have to suffer a big loss."

"Brother Zhipu is right, although Lin Xian is also a layman, he should also understand the truth that a bowl of water should be level." Gong Tian was obviously stimulated by the words of the Jinlan Naval Battle off the Sea in Tang Ping's mouth, but this is also very normal, if it weren't for this naval battle, I'm afraid that the position of Admiral of the Fubo Fleet might not be his turn to take over. "Even if the cutting-edge third-class cruisers can't be given to us, at least the old ships Huo Yanyao and Di Xiangwu should be given to us."

Gong Tian's requirements are not high, and Ma Tao thinks that it is very likely to be realized: "There is some hope for this, but I think that if the cruiser is not given to us above, we can take care of it on the first- and second-class cruisers." ”

Ma Tao's words deviated from the other two's thinking, and Tang Ping even took pains to calculate how many double-deck gunboats the Western Fleet needed: "Lianzhou is a good port, and it is necessary to buy a team (four) in the future; Xiangshanao guards the Pearl River Estuary, and I am afraid that there will also be a team; Nanao Island and Tongshan Island also need a team; In addition, there is a team of escorts between Changhua and Hongji; Cam Ranh Bay also has a team; That's twenty. ”

"Well, I don't think I'm right." Tang Ping touched his head as he spoke. "How is the number less than when the Fubo fleet was in number."

"Of course it's not right." Gong Tian corrected. "There is still a detachment on Cam Ranh Bay, at least to ensure the establishment of two teams, otherwise it will not be busy at all; As for Lian Leiqiong, a detachment will also be set up, so that the two teams can ensure the safety of Qiongzhou and the Beihe Ocean; Since there are two teams on the side of Xiangshanao and Nanao, it is best to set up a detachment as well; As for this team, if the Department of Military Affairs allocates a large ship, it will form a team, and if it is not given, it will directly command the detachment on the side of Xiangshanao. ”

"I'm afraid the military gate is undercounting the Pearl River Inland River Fleet." At this moment, Ma Tao showed the role of the chief of staff in picking up the missing and filling in the gaps. "Although we can't look down on the dozen or so red single boats, staying on the Xunjiang River can give General He more or less courage."

Tang Ping laughed: "Brother Yiyuan is very right, this red single boat is still useful, otherwise how could our right-hand lord suggest to the king to set up a special Yangtze River inland fleet." ”

"Poor mouth." Ma Tao glared at Tang Ping, and then he laughed out loud, and after laughing, he suddenly looked at Gong Tian thoughtfully. "Junmen, you just said that if the cruiser is not given above, you will directly govern the detachment on Xiangshanao and Nanao Island." Gong Tian nodded yes inexplicably, so Ma Tao asked further. "Then if the above really gave us Huo Yanyao and Di Xiangwu, where are you going to put this team?"

"Where, needless to say, of course it's Macau." Gong Tian said as he moved his gaze to the east, in a direction beyond his sight, several three-deck gunboats of the Zhenguo Fleet were cooperating with the defenders of Guangdong to besiege Macao Island, once the Portuguese could not hold on and withdrew from this pearl of the South China Sea, with the coastal defense fortress that had been built, it should become the headquarters of the future Western Fleet. "Why do you have an opinion?"

"How come, there is a boat yard in Macau, which saves us a lot of trouble," Ma Tao shook his head like a rattle. "It's just that I think that since the status of Macao is so important, I'm afraid that the Franc machine man will not be so easy to return, if the Zhenguo fleet can't block the Franc machine man in the port, we have to sail over to reinforce it."
