Early the next morning, Li Yongji took a platoon of guards and followed Mo Haihu to the place they called Pearl Bay.

In addition to the good weather and no strong wind and waves, the biggest reason is that the villagers of Mojia Village spent nearly 20 years successively throwing soil and rocks into the sea along a reef area, and made use of the soil and stone and the local environment to create an artificial breakwater and make a semi-open harbor.

It is said that at the beginning, this Pearl Bay was only a pearl mussel breeding area built by the residents of Mojia Village themselves, in order to facilitate the cultivation of pearl mussels.

Later, when Jiaxing Port was destroyed by the British army, nearby fishermen gathered in Mojia Village, in order to facilitate the docking of fishing boats, the length and thickness of the breakwater were expanded, and a lighthouse was built on the breakwater that doubled as a lighthouse, making Pearl Bay the harbor base of Mojia Village.

In other words, this breakwater, in addition to preventing waves, also has the role of being a guard post, and with this thing, the fishermen of Mojia Village have a place to rely on, and the role of the bay has changed from cultivating pearls to a real harbor.

Over time, this became the private port of Mojia Village, and the people of Mojia Village also relied on this small harbor to become fishermen and pirates, so when it comes to Mojia Village, the nearby Chinese pirates are a little unheard.

From this point of view, Li Yongji's rapid arrival really stabbed the pirate's den by mistake, and it is no wonder that people were so nervous when they saw Li Yongji's troops at first glance. You must know that the villagers of ordinary villages in the Qing Dynasty usually do not choose to resist in the face of the army, but give in, and only those pirates who have ghosts in their hearts and do not like to be restrained will subconsciously choose defense.

Gossip aside, in short, Pearl Bay is an artificial bay, but, after all, Mojia Village has limited manpower, although it has lasted for 20 years, but the Pearl Bay place is still too small, and the converted area is less than one-third of the size of Hangzhou West Lake, that is, less than 2 square kilometers.

Despite this, because the water in this artificial harbor is very deep, the average water depth along the coast has reached 13 meters, so it may not be possible to dock a 10,000-ton ship, but it is possible to dock a ship of 1,000 tons, and it is more than enough to moor a submarine in such a place.

Of course, in Li Yongji's eyes, such a breakwater is too primitive, and if it is not reinforced in the future, a stronger typhoon will come, or it will be washed away sooner or later only by relying on the accumulated erosion of the waves, but at present, it is still qualified to be a diving base.

The place is suitable, and the next step is to recruit people.

Although the people of Mojia Village were part-time pirates, they were also very knowledgeable about current affairs, and after finding that they could not resist Li Yongji's troops at all, they chose to surrender.

According to statistics, there are more than 140 households in the entire Mojia Village, more than 560 people, of which women account for the absolute majority, there are more than 400 women, and there are only about 100 men.

Such a strange proportion of residents made Li Yongji very surprised, but after careful questioning, it turned out that the mortality rate of men here was very high, after all, young and strong men were the main force to go to sea, and during this period, for various reasons, going to sea was a very risky thing, even if it was in the near sea.

However, the real reason for the fact that there are more women and fewer men in this fishing village is the naval battle that just took place last year.

The so-called naval battle was actually a fight with another group of pirates, and the reason is more complicated, simply put, it was just a black eating black. But no matter what the reason, that time Mojia Village failed, but the other party did not please it, it was a defeat for both sides, and since that battle, Mojia Village has become a situation where there are more women than men, and it has become a ** village.

However, since they are fishermen, the women are just as strong, so last night those people who were holding torches, knives and guns on the wall, many of them had black and gray on their faces, wore men's clothes, and engaged women in men's clothes, the purpose was to scare the other party, if they really fought, no matter how fierce these women were, they would definitely not be the opponents of Li Yongji's troops.

Mo Haihu and Mo Haiwen are already relatively strong people in Mojia Village, and sending them out also means to show strength, but when Li Yongji really engages in brutal play of forced conscription, then Mojia Village still has to obediently submit to softness.

Finally, at the real head of Mojia Village, Mrs. Shen, the old lady of the Mo family, personally went out and bargained face-to-face with Li Yongji, and finally at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the men, women and children of Mojia Village collectively went out of the village, and under the leadership of Mrs. Shen, they knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yongji together.

The scene was spectacular and impactful, and the meaning it represented was complete surrender to Li Yongji personally, without any reservations.

This is not only a statement, reassuring Li Yongji's heart, but also an invisible persecution of Li Yongji, which means that Mojia Village has completely surrendered and become Li Yongji's private soldier, and hopes that Li Yongji will also abide by the agreement and treat the people of Mojia Village well.

This made Li Yongji sigh very much, feeling that this group of people was different from the villagers in other parts of the Qing Dynasty, and it was completely a cunning fighting racial consciousness. To put it simply, it is to know current affairs and be flexible, but it is unruly in his bones.

If you are strong, they will completely surrender, and once you are not strong enough, they may immediately turn back. And they only surrendered to Li Yongji, but they didn't say anything about the Jingwu Army, making it clear that they only recognized Li Yongji, and the subtext was that if Li Yongji hung up in the future, they would be free.

Well, it's a bit of a Japanese characteristic, no, it's a maritime nation. And through the expression of the people of Mojia Village, Li Yongji also found a problem, that is, the so-called national nature of the Chinese is probably a general reference, different places and different environments, in fact, can create different regional personalities, so as long as you guide well in the future, who said that the Chinese will be obedient in their bones, and who will say that the Chinese are hardworking and kind in their bones?

To put it bluntly, the so-called nationality has never been qualitative, and it has no absolute relationship with the living environment, especially in a country like China with a vast area and complex terrain.

It's the same as raising livestock, if you breed differently, your livestock will behave differently. If the superior of a country keeps preaching diligence and forbearance to his subordinates, then over time the people will become domestic pigs, and if the superiors keep preaching fighting, then the people of the land will become wild boars over time.

Therefore, the biggest shortcoming of the Manchu Qing court is that it completely suppressed the bloodiness of the Chinese nation and turned the Chinese into a herd of domestic pigs, rather than their so-called minority rule.

On this basis, the Manchu government is a that must be defeated!

In any case, the addition of the whole village of Mojia Village made Li Yongjun's frogman agent plan smoother.

After that, Li Yongji began to be stationed in Mojia Village, and selected 200 people from Mojia Village to form a frogman special team.

Because there are more women and fewer men in Mojia Village, and wearing a diving suit will highlight the body curve, plus after all, the village still follows a lot of traditional etiquette, so these 200 people did not mix and match, but all of them were young women over 16 years old and under 20 years old!

Because they are all women, Li Yongji specially called this frogman unit the female frog special combat team, which is also very vivid.

Although during the training, Li Yongji had to teach him how to drive a submarine, how to use diving equipment, how to install explosives, etc., but because Li Yongji himself was less than 14 years old and was still a child, he was not strict with men and women. Even in the process of teaching, after those women found out that Li Yongji was actually very good at talking, they gradually became arrogant, and often teased Li Yongji, always making Li Yongji smile bitterly.

Fortunately, although they are women, these women have a strong learning ability, and all of them are diving masters, everyone can hold their breath for more than three minutes, and there are more than 50 women who can hold their breath for more than five minutes, among which three women are particularly **, and they can hold their breath for eight minutes! made Li Yongji smack his tongue too.

Although with oxygen cylinders and underwater breathing apparatus, the length of breath-holding time is not so important, but the high lung capacity obviously has a great effect on underwater activities, not just being able to hold your breath.

Just when Li Yongji began to train the female frog special combat team, the combined fleet of the British and French forces finally arrived, they first arrived in Shanghai on April 21, and after a little renovation in Shanghai, they sent troops to Zhoushan, occupied Zhoushan in one fell swoop, and used Zhoushan as the first base for attacking the Qing Dynasty.

After hearing the news that the British and French forces had occupied Zhoushan, Li Yongji knew that there was not much time left for him.

Not only does he have to train the frogman special team during the stay of the British and French forces in Zhoushan, so that they have the ability to attack, but also have to do a good job of intelligence work, high-definition of the dynamics of the British and French warships, and make sure that the first attack of the female frog special forces team becomes perfect!

Although the time is very tight, Li Yongji believes that he has intentionally fought unintentionally, and with two centuries of advanced equipment, the probability of success is as high as 80%!

Soon, the time for this Yin British and French alliance army soon came, although Li Yongji felt that his mother frog special combat team was still immature, but the fighters were fleeting, and in order to achieve the strategic goal, they could only be forcibly sent to fight!

That's right, the matter of the British and French alliance is no longer just a personal emotional issue such as protecting the Old Summer Palace for Li Yongji, but has risen to a strategic issue.

Because Li Yongji suddenly discovered that as long as the Anglo-French coalition army was defeated and the Anglo-French coalition army could not intervene in China with arms, the Qing government would not be beaten, it would not wake up if it did not wake up, and it would continue to be conservative if it did not wake up, and perhaps it would not have to cede land and pay reparations, and it would be able to preserve China's vitality to the greatest extent.

At the same time, after the defeat of the Anglo-French coalition, it will inevitably be unable to launch a second large-scale armed intervention, and after the Qing government cannot get through, it will inevitably support the local powers, which will allow them to occupy more advantages in the future chess game, after all, their own territory is Shanghai.

No matter what the reason is, the Anglo-French forces must be destroyed, at least they must blow up most of their ships and supplies, so that the Anglo-French forces will lose the ability to attack China, and only in this way can they have a wider room for maneuver in the future and more strategic means.

All in all, Li Yongji has done what he can do, and the next thing is to look at luck, hoping to be a qiē smooth lì!
