Qingdao is a city built by Liu Ziguang single-handedly, everyone here regards him as a god-like existence, all the people in the city, all the officers and soldiers are his loyal supporters, and most of the people sitting in the main hall of the Admiral's Mansion are the descendants of the old subordinates who were born in the death camp in the early years, so Liu Ziguang feels very good at this time, even more than the feeling of sitting in the main hall of the South Factory.

"The generals listen to the order" The two rows of generals sitting in the hall stood up and clenched their fists together: "The last general!" Liu Ziguang waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." So there was a sound of armor and weapons rubbing against each other, and all the generals sat down in unison, sitting upright and steady, holding down the sword with their left hand, putting their right hand on their knees, and looking at the handsome with bright eyes.

"Now is the time when the court is in trouble, the barbarians are attacking me on three sides, the Ming Dynasty ranks are all iron-blooded men, and if it is redundant, I won't say much, raise troops for a thousand days, and when you need it, the time has come to serve the country!"

All the generals bowed their hands together and said, "I would like to listen to the commander send." ”

"The strategic plan must be very clear to everyone, Tianjin is the throat of Beijing, as long as Tianjin is captured, Beijing will have no danger to defend, this commander trained the Beiyang Naval Division, it is for this purpose to cover the naval division with gunboat fire, bravely seize the beachhead, seize the Tianjin Guard, and then the brigade forbidden army to take 6 to recover Beijing, block the Qing army in Hebei in the area east of the Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River, eliminate the Tianjin Defender Army, the brave fort is strong, the firepower is fierce, the task of our naval division is quite arduous, do you have the confidence to win this battle?"

The generals shouted in unison: "Yes! ”

Liu Ziguang was very satisfied, nodded to Li Yan who was sitting on his left hand, signaling that he could start, Liu Ziguang would not command the amphibious Deng 6 battle at all, he was just a spiritual leader, and it was Admiral Li Yan who really commanded the operation and deployed the troops.

Li Yan stood up and began to dispatch the generals in an orderly manner, and the whole army was divided into three waves of attack: the first wave was the fire support fleet, which was composed of the submarine forces of the Qingdao Boat Division and Liugong Island, responsible for sweeping the Manchu warships in Bohai Bay and the coastal fortresses covering the Qing army with firepower, and the second wave of men and horses was the sailor Bu Yong, these 6 fighters equipped with advanced guns would rush to the beach of Tanggu in a flat-bottomed boat, establish a bridgehead position, and then advance to Tianjin, rush into the city to the enemy, and then the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army would get down from the third wave of transport fleets and go straight to Beijing。

This is the plan of the northern front operation, the assault on Tianjin, this hand is both a regular soldier and a strange soldier, most of the men and horses of the Xuzhou army have already driven to the camp outside Qingdao City, waiting to board the ship to cross the sea, but they belong to Xu Zengshou's command system, so today only sent a liaison officer to participate in the scheduling meeting of the Admiral of the Navy and the Yamen.

Li Yan motioned to the two colonels, unfolded a map and hung it on the wall, holding a baton in his hand, pointing out in detail the areas that the generals were responsible for, this map was carefully mapped by the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society for nearly a year, every mountain peak, every village, every river, and even the wells in the village, and the depth and width of the rivers were marked, which shows the meticulousness of the intelligence work, the time when the boats and gunboats were covered, what shells were used, and in what directions, and in what directions the hot air balloons were used to reconnoiter the sailors, and when the sailors Bu Yong took advantage of the tide to board the 6, all of which had been planned a long time ago, and now it was just a reenactment in front of the commander。

In order to implement this plan, the Beiyang Naval Division has been preparing for a long time, and can board the ship at any time, and the red-shirt army brought by Liu Ziguang from the capital is even faster, and the troops can be put into battle at any time, compared to Xu Zengshou's Shandong Forbidden Army, the predecessor of the Shandong Forbidden Army is Yuan Chonghuan's Xuzhou Army, and now it is stationed in Shandong, recruiting a large number of recruits, and its strength has increased greatly, but its military literacy is not as good as before. Mangui, these general soldiers thought about how to make money all day long, and the Qing army obediently hid on the north bank of the Yellow River and did not dare to make trouble, so the Shandong forbidden army was arrogant and lacked combat strength, and after marching from Jinan and Qingzhou to Qingdao, they did not settle down well for two or three days, some battalion owners and generals were still behind, and some battalions lost their pots on the road, and now it is more difficult for them to board the ship than to ascend to the sky.

Liu Ziguang and Li Yan had no choice but to give the order to wait for the forbidden army to prepare before attacking, anyway, the initiative of the war was in their hands, although the Manchu Qing had declared war, but they did not dare to take the initiative to attack, they were waiting for the Xia army on the Western Front to make trouble, and the Ming people had no time to attack when they had no time to take care of both sides.

Qingdao is a large barracks, even the people who live in the city are also serving the military, so they are not worried about the leakage of information, there are many fishermen on the seaside, but the war is approaching, the fishing boats have been notified not to go more than ten miles from the shore, otherwise they will be sunk by patrol ships, and at night they are not allowed to go to the sea, you must know that Qingdao is a thorn in the side of the Manchu Qing and Goryeo, these two sides have never given up the reconnaissance of Qingdao, in the past few days alone, there are as many as seven or eight spy ships sunk.

That night, three or five fishermen quietly walked to the beach, lifted the fishing boat and walked into the sea, the boat was also loaded with fishing nets, it seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the night to catch two more nets, but they walked a few steps before they were caught by the sailor Bu Yong, who was patrolling the night, and the Bu Yong was just about to lock people, the fishermen took out the waist card of the south factory, whispered something, and the soldiers did not ask, let their fishing boat enter the sea, and rowed towards the dark sea.

The fishing boat walked seven or eight miles into the depths of the sea, and then stopped, the boat boss looked at the compass, lit a lamp, shook it a few times, and a light was lit on the dark sea opposite, and then a boat without any flag drove over, and when the two boats were a foot away, the boat boss felt something and threw it over, and the other party took the thing, didn't say anything, turned the bow of the boat, and disappeared into the boundless darkness.

Hong Chengchou, the mansion of Taishi Hong in Beijing, read the secret letter in his hand three times in a row and couldn't help but say: "Okay! Come on, prepare for the old man to enter the palace and face the saint. ”

At the last meeting of the Military Aircraft Department, Hong Chengchou proposed a relatively moderate plan, in fact, it was an arrangement he made out of political considerations, the dispute between the Hanchen and the Manchu was irreconcilable, and he, as the leader of the Hanchen, had to make a decision to benefit his own side, the intelligence department of the Military Aircraft Department was controlled by the Manchus, and if the army was deployed according to the information provided by them, wouldn't it seem that the Hanchen were a little incompetent.

The exclusive text version of this work may not be reproduced without permission, and excerpts for more of the latest and fastest chapters can be found on .......net! Hong Chengchou has his own intelligence channels, he has already contacted some people in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and can obtain first-hand military information, because this channel is completely different from the channel of the Military Aircraft Department, so when the two aspects of intelligence coincide, the accuracy of the intelligence can be proven, and what Hong Taishi sees today is the detailed plan for the Ming army's combat deployment, except for the offensive as scheduled and the information of the Military Aircraft Department's version is different, the other parts are surprisingly similar, which shows that the two pieces of information are accurate, and the Ming army is indeed going to climb in Tianjin.6

It was a matter of success or failure, Hong Chengchou also didn't care about the dispute between the Manchus and the Han, hurriedly entered the palace to report the situation to Kangxi, and asked to mobilize the army again, and transfer the elite troops such as the Xiaocai Battalion and the Xishan Jianrui Battalion in the capital to Tianjin to strengthen the defense, and be sure to destroy the enemy at sea, and at the same time send an urgent order to the Goryeo side with 800 li, so that their sailors could do their best to cooperate with the battle.

I heard that there is the latest military information, the ministers of military aircraft 6 rushed to come, this time Hong Chengchou brought the information, and finally determined the main direction of the Ming army, the stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground, knowing the enemy's movements, this battle is much easier to fight, one after another orders quickly from the military aircraft, by the fast horse elite cavalry sent to the military camps in various places, the Tongzhou battalion moved, the Fengtai battalion moved, stationed in Tianjin, the Xijinghai area, the Nashun Ge Rel Division, the Mongolian army also moved to the direction of Tanggu, the elite military strength of the entire Qing Dynasty is concentrated in Tianjin, Tianjin Wei's own armed forces are even more loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the soldiers are not allowed to take off their clothes when they sleep, just waiting for the Ming army to attack。

The Ming army finally moved, Qingdao military port, hundreds of boats, thousands of sails, the whistle sounded for a long time, a large number of soldiers carrying burdens and weapons on their backs, soldiers walked through the long gangplank, boarded the warship, the officer's whistle came and went, this is a brand-new army, armed with new training methods and advanced firearms created by Liu Ziguang, the new army, full of pride and fighting spirit, although there are still bad habits such as beating and scolding soldiers, but compared with other Ming troops, it has been too much, too much, there is no empty amount to drink the blood of the soldiers, there is no deduction of military salaries, there is no wanton oppression and abuse of soldiers, and their food is excellent, every ton has meat, even the vegetarian dishes are oily, far more than eating well at home, and the military salary is also higher every monthcan get six taels of silver, and it is only this income to plant land for half a year in his hometown.

Gunboats and transport ships left Qingdao Port in the sound of long whistles, and the high-spirited soldiers crowded on the side of the ship, looking at the boundless sea, and could not help singing, and soon a shipload spread, and the whole fleet was enveloped in laughter and loud military songs.

No wonder the soldiers are happy, as soon as the cannon sounds, the golden ten thousand taels of chief have said, cut a braid, the eight banners of the soldiers, reward more than one or two silver, cut more than ten braids, cut ten braids, you can be promoted to a level on the spot, this battle is down, if you cut down a hundred and ten pigtails, it will not be a rich man, but also become a general, such a beautiful thing can not be found with a lantern.

Did someone say that the pigtails of the Eight Banners were so easy to cut? The Eight Banners Brigade, first-class riding and archery kung fu, if you don't shoot, you are cold, even if you are cold, the Beiyang Sailors don't think so, in the past few months, they have been training day and night, a strong calf like a calf, talking like a thunder and fire, the harrier on the edge of the sky can shoot down, just rely on the Eight Banners, these handsome men will be defeated, and obediently sent to death, and their pigtails are served.

Listening to the loud singing of the soldiers, a smile appeared on Liu Ziguang's face, at this moment he was sitting on the bridge of the Zhenyuan, the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division, holding a high-magnification double-barrel Qianli mirror in his hand, looking at the place where the sea and the sky were connected, and the general Li Yan beside him didn't know, and he also raised the clairvoyant mirror to look over, but he didn't see anything for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is the big handsome looking at?" ”

Liu Ziguang smiled: "I want to see the number one country in the universe, but I'm afraid I won't have a chance this time." ”
