In this picture, the South Vietnamese river boats did not even make trouble for the positions of the Haihan army on the shore, and they could not even hide, and the spectators witnessed the sinking of all the South Vietnamese "sailors" in amazement. For a person like Luo Shengdong, who is relatively expert in water warfare, his back has already been soaked with cold sweat -- if this tactic is used to deal with the warships in Yazhou Shuizhai near the shore, the result will be the same.

Based on Luo Shengdong's understanding of the Haihan militia, he could see from the picture that these artillery erected on the shore were not large-caliber coastal defense guns arranged by the Haihan people on the port batteries, but just ordinary army artillery. However, even this kind of small-caliber artillery, as long as a few more guns are arranged, it is enough to block the river with a width of about fifty or sixty zhang, which is undoubtedly much easier than sending ships to block the river.

The next picture has arrived outside Hue City, and this section is a drone shot from a high altitude, the people on the screen are only the size of ants, and the dense South Vietnamese army positions outside the city make the spectators dizzy, and they also began to secretly guess how the spell of the Haihan people was cultivated, and they were able to fly to the sky to observe the deployment of the enemy's position. People who are a little familiar with military affairs can already make a judgment at this time, the South Vietnamese army has even been looked at by the Haihan militia, how can this battle be won?

Everyone secretly expected to see a large-scale field battle next, but the next shot was accompanied by a loud bang, and a corner of the city wall of Hue City collapsed like a landslide, and then sappers and people carried wooden rafts to quickly erect a pontoon bridge, and the militia followed closely and rushed into the city. But as for how the wall collapsed, the picture does not explain this detail.

Of course, this is the content that has been consciously pinched off, and this video display is mainly to promote force and show how the Haihan militia relies on its strong strength to crush the opponent, but some specific combat links, such as blasting the city wall, have a certain technical content, and at this stage they still need to be kept secret.

The ensuing scene was even more shocking, as everyone witnessed how the tower of the Imperial City of Hue was reduced to rubble after a puff of dust and smoke. When the dust cleared, the South Vietnamese palace and the panicked defenders of the city could already be seen on the opposite side of the Haihan position.

"On that day, our army conquered the imperial city of Hue, which took less than an hour. More than 300 officials from the puppet court of South Vietnam to Nguyen Phuc Nguyen were captured. In the entire Hue Campaign, our army killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured nearly 4,000 people, and captured countless weapons and armor. Yan Chujie said in a deep voice to the spectators that the Haihan militia had achieved brilliant achievements in this battle. Of course, how the Haihan militia seized the time to empty the property in Hue City after the war, Yan Chujie would definitely not say it on such an occasion.

"Finally, I would like to explain to you that this war was not provoked by us, and the reason why we entered the war was only to participate in the war as an ally at the invitation of the Annam Lê dynasty, with the aim of exterminating the South Vietnamese rebels and restoring stability and unity to Annam. Of course, the most important purpose is to protect the interests of our Haihan in Annam from the southern rebels. You can remember my words, wherever the interests of our Haihan are located, it is the scope of activities of our Haihan militia group! This applies not only to our Haihan, but also to the friends who sincerely cooperate with our Haihan!"

As Yan Chujie's words fell, the picture on the wall stopped, and the lights in the room came back on. Although the length of this edited documentary is only a few minutes, the spectators present are like having a big dream, the Haihan militia sent the navy in January, the army in February, and the triumphant return of the whole army in April, and most of the fighting process during this period is reflected in the short film just now. It was as if the spectators had gone on a trip with the army, witnessing almost all the key points in the campaign that lasted for months.

How the Haihan people recorded these scenes on the battlefield and then projected them on the wall is no longer the focus of the visitors' concerns, anyway, the Haihan people will have so many spells, and it is not surprising that there is such an additional one. The questions that everyone cares about are basically focused on the amazing combat effectiveness of the Haihan militia.

According to Yan Chujie's previous introduction, the size of the Haihan militia this time is less than 3,000 troops, but with such a small number of troops, it can actually cross the sea to break through the capital of one regime, which is quite terrifying. Of course, Yan Chujie also deliberately did not mention that the troops stationed in the Annam area of the Haihan Militia also participated in this campaign, and the North Vietnamese Army also participated and cooperated with it in the later period. In the perception of the visitors, the Haihan militia was single-handedly annihilated the South Vietnamese regime that ruled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in less than three months, not to mention the militia of this kind of combat effectiveness, even if it pulled out ten times the Ming official army could not do it -- I think that when the Ming Dynasty crusaded against Annam, there were tens of thousands of Ming officers and troops on that side, and in the end they could not win a good deal from the battlefield, so they had to pinch their noses and recognize the independence of Annam.

What the Ming officials and troops could not do, the Haihan militia in a corner of Sanya did it in just a few months, and the actual combat effectiveness of the two sides seems to be able to get a glimpse of it from this. Some people who were originally slightly suspicious of the strength of the Haihan people, after watching this documentary, have basically become fans of passers-by and have become supporters of the invincible theory of the Haihan militia. For businessmen who have in-depth cooperation with Haihan, the stronger the strength of the Haihan militia group, the more they will feel solid and secure. As for who the guns of the Haihan militia will aim at next time, it doesn't matter, they just need to know that their interests can be protected by the Haihan militia.

Some people feel happy after watching it, but some people feel congested after watching it. For example, Enrique, the Portuguese envoy to Sanya, was obviously not happy after watching this documentary. Although Portugal and Haihan have now reached a trade partnership and have even cooperated substantively on the very sensitive item of the arms trade, from Enrique's point of view, he does not want to see the collective rise so quickly in the South China Sea.

Portugal, as an old maritime power, was the first to enter the Far East as a large colonial power, but in recent years, it has been going downhill, and its territory has been encroached upon little by little by the Dutch who came later, and it has worked hard to establish trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, and now it will be divided by the Spaniards and the Dutch. It's okay to lose to these two competitors, after all, the size of the people is there, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and it's not unjust to lose. However, Haihan, a rising star, has only appeared on Qiongzhou Island for only two years, and has already firmly possessed the power to destroy the country, and in terms of the strength of the armed forces in the South China Sea, Enrique has to admit that Haihan is already above Portugal.

When the Macau Council agreed to break off cooperation with the South Vietnamese Imperial Court and completely withdraw from the South Vietnamese region, in addition to considering the threat of force from Hai Han, there were actually some careful thoughts waiting to see Hai Han's bad luck. The Council believed that with the size of the Hai Han militia, even if the weapons and equipment were absolutely superior, it would be difficult to defeat the South Vietnamese regime with a territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of subjects in a short time, and if the two countries were caught in a long tug-of-war, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to the onlookers Portugal.

However, the Council's judgment proved to be inaccurate, and the Haihan people did not fall into a long tug-of-war with South Vietnam, and in just three months, the first Xiongcheng in Indochina, which had been praised by the Portuguese, fell under the guns of the Haihan militia. Enrique was disappointed with the result, which he had expected to last at least until the second half of the year. In early February, he also sent a secret letter back to Macao, asking the council to tighten its monitoring of Wanshan Port and Li Jiazhuang to see if there were any signs of the Haihan people withdrawing from the garrison there.

Seeing the battle process of the Haihan militia in the documentary, Enrique naturally regarded it as an imaginary enemy of his own army, and made a simple tactical deduction in his mind. Then he was dismayed to find that if he were to fight the Haihan militia, his own army would probably have to reach four or five times the strength of his own army, and that all the Portuguese personnel in the Far East at present would not be able to make up such a large number.

What made Enrique even more desperate was that the gap between the two sides was not only reflected in the strength and performance of weapons, but also in the pre-war preparations, wartime logistics, and various material and spiritual rewards after the war, and the methods of the Haihan people seemed to have comprehensively surpassed those of their Western counterparts he knew. These affairs, which plagued every senior commander in the war, were handled in an orderly manner under the hands of the Haihan people, and were always carried out with great efficiency. Last year, the Council passed a resolution to withdraw from South Vietnam, and sent a ship to Goa to inform the local governor, but now half a year has passed, and the reply from Goa has not been sent back, if a full-scale war really breaks out, I am afraid that the Portuguese in Macao will have been killed by the Haihan militia long ago.

What puzzled Enrique the most was that the Haihan people were able to overlook the enemy's army deployment from the air, and the role of this terrible spell in the war could simply be described as invincible. When every move of his troops on the battlefield will be fully watched by the enemy, Enrique really can't imagine any other way to defeat an opponent who is not weaker than himself. In Enrique's view, the spell mastered by the Haihan people is the main reason why they dare to cross the sea to fight in an unfamiliar environment, after all, with this reliance, the Haihan militia is basically invincible.

Of course, there was no need to ask, Enrique knew that this magical skill was definitely not for sale by the Haihan people. Although the Haihan people have now opened up the purchase rights of arquebuses and small-caliber artillery to the Grape people, there are still a large number of weapons and equipment that have not been included in the sale list, such as the breech-loading rifles, short-barreled shotguns, high-powered telescopes, etc., which Enrique has been coveting for a long time. And now that a new item is obviously going to be added to this list, the thought of this makes Enrique feel a grudge in his heart that it is difficult to calm down -- why can these atheists be favored by God? It is simply absurd that the Portuguese, as faithful believers of God, should now serve a group of atheists.

"Mr. Enrique, do you have anything to say?" Yan Chujie, who returned to the wine table, quickly noticed Enrique's ugly face, but he just didn't open which pot to mention, so he pretended not to know how to ask Enrique how he felt.

"The combat effectiveness of your army is really amazing!" Enrique commented in a sour tone: "I have to admit that in the current South China Sea region, I am afraid it is difficult to find an army that can match your army on a frontal battlefield. ”

Luo Shengdong, who was sitting next to him, was holding a glass of wine at this time, and when he heard this, he only paused slightly, and then drank the wine as if nothing happened. Regarding the evaluation of combat effectiveness, Luo Shengdong didn't want to say anything, after all, the facts were in front of him, and he still had to rely on the Haihan people to eat, so it was better to pretend to be deaf and dumb on such a sensitive issue.

But he didn't want to take the initiative to say it, it didn't mean that Enrique would let him go. After making his comments, Enrique dragged Luo Shengdong into the water: "General Luo, what do you think about this?"

Luo Shengdong was promoted to general more than a month ago, and his new boss had not been in office for half a year before he was unfortunately "killed" in the battle because of the "Nanyang pirate attack on Yazhou". Of course, this excuse was only to write an official letter to deal with the Qiongzhou government, and the general, who was unwilling to cooperate with Haihan after taking office, of course, did not die in the battle with the pirates, but was secretly captured and sent to the Heitu Harbor across the sea to dig coal, where he would spend the rest of his life.

This is also the first Ming official to be "dealt with" in a real sense since Haihan entered Yazhou. The Executive Committee did not deliberately conceal this when it did this, and the people who are now in office such as the Zhizhou, Tongzhi, the judges, the Qianhu of the city defense army, and even the Jinyi Guards all knew about it, but no one objected to this -- those who kept silent could receive a large amount of "office funds" from the Executive Committee every year, and those who wanted to jump out and write their own feelings could only end up being sent to dig coal in overseas mines until they died, just like the rebellious general.

Luo Shengdong knew best what happened to him, because the action to arrest this top boss was the hand of him with a few personal soldiers. Tao Donglai made it very clear to him at the time, if this nail is pulled, the next general will be you - even if it is not you, we will find a way to make the candidate you. As for how to achieve such an effect, Luo Shengdong didn't need to ask at all, it was nothing more than another trick of "pirate siege".

Luo Shengdong paid 4,000 taels himself, the executive committee sponsored 4,000 taels, and his father-in-law Zhang Qing sponsored 2,000 taels, a total of 10,000 taels of silver to open up the joints, plus Luo Shengdong "fought bravely, exterminated the bandit leader, and avenged the hatred of the former general in one fell swoop", and the military merit plus the silver of the white flowers, finally in exchange for the position of general he dreamed of. Not only that, but even a small number of naval troops stationed in Lingshui County, north of Tielu Port, were also assigned to him as a supplement for battle losses.

When Luo Shengdong was still a hundred presidents, he longed to be a general one day, but when he sat in this position, he felt a little boring. Now from the Iron Furnace Port in the east to the Yingge Sea in the west, the entire coastline patrol task in the south of Qiongzhou Island is basically controlled by the warships of the Haihan People's League. There were originally a few big ships in Yazhou Water Village, but now all of them are helping the "Haihan Salt Company" to run transportation, going back and forth between ports on Qiongzhou Island day and night. Now that the sailor has become a part-time worker, the salt dealer has only taken a regular position, and almost all those who are willing to continue to serve in the army have gone to join the sailor of the Haihan militia, while the rest of the people have chosen to follow Luo Shengdong as a professional salt merchant, after all, the income in this line is still quite rich, far better than the days when they ate military rations before.

Now Luo Shengdong only hangs the name of "Daming Water Division", and it is rare to appear once a month in Yazhou Water Village, most of the time he lives in Shengli Port, drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed at the port wharf every day, and supervising the loading and delivery of migrant workers. As for the identity of military attaché, Luo Shengdong will only pick it up again on occasions like this now, when he needs to wear an official uniform to attend.

Luo Shengdong is not stupid, listening to Enrique's questioning, he knows that he wants to deliberately create embarrassment between himself and Yan Chujie. If it was placed last year, Luo Shengdong might really feel that he couldn't let it go, but now he has seen a lot of things, and he smiled when he heard the words and said: "My opinion is the same as Mr. En, the Haihan militia is well-trained, advanced in equipment, and strict in military discipline, which is really a blessing for the people of Yazhou!"

Luo Shengdong's ass flew up, but Enrique still refused to bypass him, and continued to ask: "General Luo, what the Haihan militia is doing now seems to overlap with the functions of the Daming Water Division led by you?

Luo Shengdong scolded secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "Mr. En's words are biased, the Haihan People's League is a civilian armed force approved by the Governor of Liangguang, and it has the responsibility of protecting the people in a safe place, the more they do, the better, what is there to worry about?"

Yan Chujie smiled and looked at the two of them, and didn't intervene to stop them. Seeing that Enrique was going to continue to be unrelenting, Luo Shengdong preemptively spoke: "The Haihan militia has become so strong, it seems that Mr. En's is very uneasy? Just now, Mr. Yan said that as long as it is a partner, it can also be protected by the Haihan militia, it seems that you don't really regard Haihan as a partner?" Enrique's words were immediately held back, and he quickly shook his hand and denied: "No, no, no, I don't have such thoughts at all, God can testify, Haihan is our best partner......"
