Chapter 104: Plan A
The old deletion scares today's first update. Wan Bu has a second watch. Stay tuned! Many countries in the world regard intelligence work as a basic part of their national security development strategy and as a branch of national security
Intelligence is the basic tool of a country's military, political, and economic anticipation of dangers, and intelligence should be, and always should be, a country's first line of defense, so that any threat that arises can be eliminated before it can cause damage.
Just as people can't live without water and air, intelligence is an indispensable element for the development of national security!
Deng Haonan attaches great importance to intelligence work, so he invests huge expenses in it.
Although the scale is still limited to the three southeastern provinces, it can already be given early warning of Deng Haonan's immediate military and economic actions.
Captain Wang Zhaoyang, as the intelligence officer in charge of Deng Haonan's subordinates, together with other disciples of the Reconnaissance Section of the Martial Arts Hall, was responsible for collecting information on Deng Haonan's collective surrounding forces and helping Di Haonan make relevant decisions and deployments.
And today, the information that Wang Zhaoyang brought back really surprised Na Haonan.
Since Deng Haonan and others left Jinmenwu, the original cannon foundry and gunpowder factory controlled by Na Haonan have been vacant, and there are still many newly recruited craftsmen in it, so they have become the target of competition for Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng, and each of them has a group of people and equipment.
However, the people left behind by Deng Haonan were all newcomer apprentices, and Deng Haonan took an assembly line operation, and when he left, all the craftsmen who took away the last key procedures were taken away, and the cannon casting factory and the gunpowder factory could not operate normally.
But Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng didn't know the key, they saw that Deng Haonan left a large number of workers, so they didn't suspect that Na Haonan wanted to cheat, but suspected the other party.
They painstakingly squeezed Na Haonan out of Kinmen Island, and sent goods and warships, so they naturally wanted to reap the benefits. But now that the cannon foundry and the gunpowder factory are not functioning, they are naturally on fire. So Zhang Shicheng asked Ma Cheng to share the workers and equipment in his possession, and Ma Cheng asked Zhang Shicheng to hand over the workers and equipment. Neither wanted to hand over their own, but instead asked to share the other's.
And so. The dispute between the two reached Yan Siqi.
And Yan Siqi has always adopted an attitude of appeasement and non-help in the quarrels and discord between the two of them, but this time it is different, and he has changed his previous style and asked the two of them to hand over all the workers and equipment and let Yan Siqi personally manage them.
Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng didn't expect Yan Siqi to do this? Immediately speechless. At this time, Ma Cheng took the initiative to hand over the workers and equipment he controlled. Although Zhang Shicheng is not happy, but there is no way, he can't stop thinking about it, right? So, Zhang Shicheng also handed over the share he occupied to Yan Siqi.
However, this should have resolved the temporary contradiction between Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng, but Yan Siqi then handed over all the personnel and equipment to Ma Cheng for management, and Zhang Shicheng asked Yan Siqi for a theory, but was blocked by Yan Siqi.
Yan Siqi changed his normal behavior, showing his tough attitude, which made the major forces of the Brotherly Alliance suspect that Yan Siqi was ready to take power!
Because Zhang Shicheng has always been arrogant and domineering, he controls more than 60% of Yan Siqi's forces, while Ma Cheng only accounts for 30%. Yan Siqi's support for Ma Cheng was seen as a preparation to weaken Zhang Shicheng's power.
At this time, rumors circulated in the fraternal alliance that Zhang Shicheng secretly colluded with Zheng Yiguan, and it was rumored that Zhang Shicheng had revealed the news to Zheng Yiguan, exposing the time when Deng Haonan left Kinmen Island, so that Zheng Yiguan could rob and kill Deng Haonan.
Everyone knows that Deng Haonan's original troublemaking made Zheng Yiguan not be the leader of the alliance. also knows that Deng Haonan, who is tenth on the black list, is the result of Zheng Yiguan's bounty hunting. Therefore, no one doubted that Zheng Yiguan wanted to kill Deng Haonan, but he knew it in his heart and didn't say it directly! Zhang Shicheng wants to borrow Zheng Yiguan's hand to get rid of Na Haonan, it's not impossible! Therefore, ninety percent of the people believed Zhang Shicheng's collusion with Zheng Yiguan.
Rumors spread, and soon Zhang Shicheng couldn't sit still!
One day. Zhang Shicheng asked Yan Siqi to explain, hoping that with his friendship with Yan Siqi's birth and death, Yan Siqi would turn out Zhang Shicheng this time.
However, the result disappointed Zhang Shicheng. Yan Siqi did not forgive Zhang Shicheng, but said that once the news is true, he will act according to the rules of the Brotherhood Alliance!
That is, to let Zhang Shicheng suffer the magic knife? to Zhang Shicheng's death. Seeing Yan Siqi and Ma Cheng getting closer and closer, and constantly weakening Zhang Shicheng's wings, Zhang Shicheng was cold. The next day, Zhang Shicheng asked Yan Siqi to drink all night, and at dawn, Zhang Shicheng suddenly wanted to kill Yan Siqi, but Yan Siqi broke free. Fortunately, Yan Siqi's sister Yan Siyu arrived in time and saved Yan Siqi. So, Zhang Shicheng hurriedly fled with his henchmen and more than a dozen warships.
Subsequently, Yan Siqi issued an order of the Brotherly Alliance to hunt down Zhang Shicheng and his subordinates.
Deng Haonan listened, his brows tightened.
According to his thoughts, only Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng betrayed his whereabouts to Zheng Yiguan, and Ma Cheng has always had a good impression of Deng Haonan, so Zhang Shicheng is the most suspicious.
Na Haonan said: "Zhang Shicheng and Yan Siqi are brothers who were born and died, so Zhang Shicheng asked Yan Siqi to drink, it should be a brother's parting wine." Since then, they have parted ways! Why do you suddenly want to kill Yan Siqi? ”
Wang Zhaoyang took a sip of tea and said, "The principal is too worried! Yan Siqi and Zhang Shicheng are indeed brothers who were born and died, but the principal is still nominally Yan Siqi's subordinate, and Zhang Shicheng's betrayal of the principal is fratricidal, one of them. Second, Yan Siqi hates Zheng Yiguan the most, but Zhang Shicheng secretly communicates with Zheng Yiguan, and his brother has nothing to do! Therefore, Yan Siqi already had the intention of killing Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng killed Yan in turn
That Hao Nan thinks about it too.
Wang Zhaoyang continued: "Now, all the major forces in the Brotherhood Alliance have gone out to hunt down Zhang Shicheng and others! There is news that Zhang Shicheng went to defect to Zheng Yiguan, but there is also news that Zhang Shicheng is fighting with Zheng Yiguan! However, Zhang Shicheng was obviously not Zheng Yiguan's opponent and was killed by Zheng Yiguan."
That Haonan was a little puzzled, there must be water in the two news versions.
Wang Zhaoyang said: "I think it is more likely that Zhang Shicheng was killed by Zheng Yiguan!" ”
Na Haonan asked, "Why?" ”
Wang Zhaoyang replied: "Zheng Yiguan has a good face, if Zhang Shicheng defects to him, wouldn't it confirm the fact that they colluded to murder the principal?" Although everyone is clear in their hearts, they haven't made it public after all! And I got the news that Yan Siqi seemed to be disheartened and was ready to withdraw from the brotherly alliance, and Zheng Yiguan and other major forces all sent their main forces to Kinmen Island! I got the message later. He came back."
What the? Yan Siqi wants to withdraw from the Brotherhood Alliance?
This really surprised Di Haonan!
Why does Yan Siqi have this idea? Deng Haonan was too lazy to guess. At this time, Di Haonan is most concerned about Yan Siqi's withdrawal, so who will sit in the position of the leader of the alliance?
Zheng Yiguan? Yang Tiansheng? Or is it something else?
In short, the biggest possibility is Zheng Yiguan!
After Zheng Yiguan became the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance, Deng Haonan was affected, and the conspiracy of the Yang conspiracy would come one after another, which made Deng Haonan overwhelmed and exhausted.
At this time, Deng Haonan still needs to use the signboard of the Brotherly Alliance to do things, once someone else is replaced as the leader of the alliance, there will be no good things in the future!
"It must be stopped!"
Na Haonan put down four words and immediately summoned the people to come to the meeting.
More than 300 major members of the officer corps of the first phase of the lecture hall were called to report, and the study room was no longer crowded, so it was arranged in the conference hall.
After Captain Wang Zhaoyang explained the situation in detail again to the crowd, the cadres and the crowd were all shocked.
Major Lin Feng said first: "If the principal mobilizes the fleet to go to Kinmen Island, with our current strength, even if it is not as strong as Zheng Yiguan, it is enough to make up for the vacuum pressure brought by Zhang Shicheng's defeat to Yan Siqi!" ”
The Pacific Fleet is naturally much stronger than Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, and everyone thinks that Yan Siqi feels that he can no longer compete with Zheng Yiguan because he has lost Zhang Shicheng's arm, so he will propose to delay the position of alliance leader. If Na Haonan led the fleet back at this time and supported Yan Siqi, presumably Yan Siqi would regain his confidence.
Everyone felt that Major Lin Feng's words were very reasonable, and many people nodded in support.
Huang Zupei was not optimistic, and only heard him say: "It is certainly a good way to mobilize the fleet to cheer for Yan Siqi!" It's just that our main fleet is all Western warships, and once it is exposed so early, it will trap us in the crosshairs! Then the only warships left of us are the patrol fleet of Xiaonanshan and Twin Island bases! Although it has only expanded to more than 20 ships, at this time, the major forces on Kinmen Island have gathered, and they are all ready to seize the position of the alliance leader, and they should all go with the main naval army! And that Zheng Yiguan will definitely send his main force to overwhelm the crowd and win the position of the leader of the alliance! We simply can't stop it."
Huang Zupei is right! Once Deng Haonan's Pacific Fleet is exposed, not only will the major forces of the fraternal alliance be afraid and form a group to deal with Na Haonan, but even the Chao Gang and the Lu Gang will not stand idly by. In that case, the public will be targeted!
Di Haonan got the foreign ship, it can be said that there are gains and losses!
That Hao Nan is in trouble, sending the main fleet to fall into the target of the public, sending the patrol fleet to be useless, do you want to watch Zheng Yiguan ascend to the position of the leader of the alliance?
That Haonan is unwilling!
All the people of the Haonan Group are unwilling!
In fact, they are all looking forward to the day when Na Haonan will be able to sit in the position of the leader of the alliance, but it is a pity that Deng Haonan still has narrow shoulders and can't shake it away.
"If we don't stir them up."
Sigou suddenly spoke, only to hear him say: "As long as we make the alliance meeting unable to be held, naturally we will not be able to elect the leader of the alliance?" As long as it drags on, there is always a way! ”
Na Haonan turned his head to look at the four dogs and said with a smile: "If you have any ghost ideas, just say it quickly, don't sell it."
Sigou suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Obviously, the possibility of Zheng Yiguan becoming the leader of the alliance is very high!" Since he went to Kinmen Island with his main naval army in order to deter the crowd, his old nest Beigang merchant gang was weakly defended. As long as the principal sends a fleet over and blasts his North Harbor merchant gang under the banner of the Dutch Navy and the East India Company, I don't believe that Zheng Yiguan is still in the mood to elect the leader of the alliance, and he will retreat halfway! ”
Huang Zupei then said: "Good way! Zheng Yiguan is not present, and the election of the leader of the alliance is estimated to be postponed! The commander led the escort fleet to persuade Yan Siqi to take back his order, and the matter could be resolved."
Lin Feng said: "Without Zheng Yiguan, other forces may not dare to choose the leader of the alliance?" Maybe Yang Tiansheng and Chen Zhongji might be able to ascend to the position of alliance leader? ”
Huang Zupei smiled: "That's better!" Their attitude towards the commander is not bad! If they become the leaders of the alliance, the commander will not be squeezed out by them in a short time, because their main opponent is Zheng Yiguan, and if Zheng Yiguan is defeated, they will not come to deal with us! ”
Huzi nodded and said, "Maybe, they will also tie up with the principal and deal with Zheng Yiguan together?" ”
Harrier mussels compete with each other for fishermen's profits!
Na Haonan nodded and said, "Not bad!" That's a great idea! ”
Qian Shun and other people from the quartermaster department drank one after another, looking at their appearance, Di Haonan knew that the foot paste and deleted the treasure was to beat Zheng Guan's family in Beigang! immediately smiled: "Zheng Yiguan has a lot of family background in Beigang!" We need to prepare a few ships to transport gold, silver, and jewelry."
Everyone was stunned at first. Then he laughed.
The sacking of Beigang is undoubtedly a very tempting plan, but once the marines land, Di Haonan will inevitably be exposed. Because the people of Zheng Yiguan, the military uniform of the Marine Corps, had long known, all the personnel who landed changed into ordinary clothes and were not allowed to carry anything other than weapons, so as not to be found if they were left behind.
Then, Deng Haonan and his subordinates studied the specific plan.
This was the first time Deng Haonan carried out armed looting, so in order to commemorate this operation, Deng Haonan named it "Ji Ge."
Deng Haonan originally wanted to personally command the Pacific Fleet to sack Beigang, but after research, he thought that it would be better for Na Haonan to go to Kinmen Island to meet Yan Siqi first and greet Yang Tiansheng and others.
The ransacking of the Beigang merchant gang, Yang Tiansheng and others must have strong support, first greet them, and jointly deal with Zheng Yiguan, whether at the political level or the military level, it is the best policy to form an anti-Zheng Yiguan alliance.
So, Deng Haonan decided to go to Kinmen Island with twenty frigates. These frigates are all Guangzhou ships built by the Chao Gang, with a tonnage of between four and five hundred tons, and each ship has 20 guns, all of which are 1,000-pound Longwei cannons, and their training time is far longer than that of the Pacific Fleet, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.
The Pacific Fleet was handed over to Lin Feng, and thirty-two warships were dispatched to destroy Zheng Yiguan's naval base Longmen Port in a short period of time, prevent the Longmen Port naval army from reinforcing Beigang, and at the same time block the ships entering and leaving Beigang to prevent the news from coming out prematurely. Major Liu Hu led 2,000 marines to land directly at the North Harbor wharf on a heavy Galen ship. Sack the North Harbor in the shortest possible time.
Calculate the time. From Twin Islands to North Port, take the Pacific coast and follow the coastline on the uninhabited side of the eastern part of Dofan Island, which takes a day to reach North Port. Without further ado. The sacking of the North Harbor required action at night, or before dawn, so Liu Hu led the Marines to set off first into a large Galen ship.
Soon, the Pacific Fleet also set sail, protecting on the flanks all the way.
They went to Beigang on Dongfan Island, but Deng Haonan went to Kinmen Island, compared to it, Deng Haonan's speed was much faster.
The family was left behind by Huang Zupei and Sigou, although there were only seven gunboats left in the battleship, as well as some commercial ships. However, the fortress battery of Xiaonanshan Naval Base has been built, and there is no shipping route near the Twin Island base, so it will not be discovered. Therefore, Deng Haonan set off with confidence.
When Na Haonan set off, there were not many people, Huang Zupei and the four dogs saw each other, and Wanshu saw that there were not many people, so she saw off Deng Haonan at the dock.
hugged him tightly, and said some intimate love words.
"Be careful on the road! Come back early! ”
With Wanshu's endless prayers and instructions, Deng Haonan boarded the Nu frigate and set off for Kinmen Island to join in the fun.
In addition to the officers and men of the 20 frigates, there were also 300 guards led by Da Niu, all of whom were well-trained and good at scraping.
※※
Dongfan Island is both the island of Taiwan today.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Dongfan Island was divided into three parts, the north was Xiaoliuqiu, which is today's Taipei area, which was occupied by the Spanish colonial army at this time, with a population of about 70,000. Since the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Han people have moved to Dongfan during the war years on the mainland. Especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, affected by the weather of the Xiaoice River, there were five large-scale southward migrations of the population, which also brought population and technology to Taiwan.
Similarly, it was only after there were people that the colonists set their sights on Dongfan Island. Spanish and Dutch colonists then followed, building fortifications on the island and colonizing them.
In the middle is Dadongfan, that is, today's Taichung area, which is the main inhabited area of the Gaoshan people, and the population is composed of the direct people and the Nanhui people, which originated from the ancient Yue people in the mainland and moved to Taiwan since the Three Kingdoms era.
Since the Han Chinese residents moved to Taiwan. The aboriginal ethnic group is divided into two parts: one part settles in the plain and integrates with the Han nationality, called the Pingpu people, and the other part still settles in the mountainous areas, which is less influenced by the Han nationality and retains the characteristics of the aboriginal language, customs, habits, etc.
The southern part is the Beigang area, which is today's Tainan area. The population is larger, around 200,000. It is mainly concentrated in the west of Beigang, which is close to the Penghu side, because it has convenient waterways and is protected by the Longmen Port Navy of the Brotherly Alliance.
The reason for the fear is that there are two Dutch castles in the south and east of Beigang, namely the notorious Dayuan Geranza City and the Puluo Minsha City in the Taijiang Chiji area.
At this time, because the Dutch had not yet expelled the Spaniards from the poison, they did not dare to offend Zheng Yiguan, so that Beigang was temporarily peaceful.
Late at night the next day, the Pacific Fleet under Lin Fengtong and the Marines under Liu Hutong had bypassed Shama Point and arrived at Sungai Kou, southeast of Beigang, at about 3 o'clock in the morning.
Here, Lin Feng and Liu Hu acted separately and agreed to launch a general attack at dawn.
Subsequently, Lin Feng led the Pacific Fleet to take advantage of the moonlight to sail to the Penghu Waterway and stopped twenty miles east of Longmen Port.
Liu Hu led the Marines to land at Snake Harbor, two miles north of Shuangxikou, overnight, and in order to dare to alarm the people there, they marched directly and quickly towards the Beigang merchant gang station.
