Batam to Pontianak downwind.

I set off in the morning when the sun just came out.

In the afternoon, the sun had not yet set.

This is the time that the staff command of this operation has long calculated.

The Ming Army, Army, and Navy had staff departments at all levels.

A special operational command center was also set up for this operation.

Active in the command are all kinds of operational staff officers.

The route of the march of the army was carefully planned to exclude all possible scenarios.

It is different from the image of the military advisor of the lupine scarf in people's imagination.

The staff officers are more concerned with meticulous work.

Calculate the distance of the march, determine the place of camping, how to supply food, and so on.

All of this had to be planned before the war.

Then divide the tasks according to the plan.

Under the calculations of the General Staff.

The army is like a tightly knit war machine.

Soon.

The vanguard of the large army entered the port first, after controlling the surrounding area of the port.

The main force of the army slowly entered the port.

There were already a lot of Chinese workers watching outside the port.

The soldiers who disembarked from the transport ship carried backpacks and muskets, a circle of bullet belts around their waists, and their feet were not leggings, but special boots with shoelaces tied tightly.

The officers, on the other hand, wore whistles around their necks and directed the army to disembark.

The sound of the soldiers' hard-soled shoes on the deck was extremely neat.

Under the whistles one after another, there is a neat and regular sound of "do, do, do".

The soldiers did not say a word, as if they were parts of a machine.

After disembarking from the ship in a procession, they formed a formation in the open space of the harbor, and then marched in companies to the predetermined place of stationing.

Orderly.

Swift.

Three thousand six hundred infantry soon disembarked.

The Chinese workers around who watched this scene held their breath and did not dare to come out.

They don't know what a strong soldier is.

But such a uniformity, the scene of thousands of people as if they were one person still deeply shocked them.

No one dared to speak for a long time.

Zhu Daohua, who saw this scene, was very satisfied - in fact, this scene has been rehearsed many times in Batam.

Personnel disembarkation, material disembarkation, and so on.

In fact, when it has not been rehearsed, it is quite chaotic and messy.

But after several rehearsals.

Everyone knows what to do.

And the reason why I want to do this.

Of course, it is a "military show" of Boss Zhu.

In other words.

This whole Borneo fights.

It's all a "military show".

It is not only to show the "military observation group" composed of envoys from Nanyang countries, but also to show it to the local Chinese in Lanfang.

Let them see the power of the Ming army.

It is also necessary to let these people who still have illusions about the Qing Kingdom take a look.

Under such military authority.

It is far better to count on the Qing Dynasty than to count on the Ming Dynasty.

The onlookers were indeed shown.

And the expressions of the envoys of various countries in the "military observation group" are similar.

The army disembarked from the port.

It sounds fairly simple though.

But this is when confusion is most likely to occur.

However, the Ming army undoubtedly completed a very beautiful "military show".

"Such a strong soldier.... King Ming's vision can be expected! ”

On a Daifuku ship, Matsudaira Ieri whispered.

...........

"God bless, Mazu bless, ancestors bless.... Bless me Liu Qianxing to break the thief in a war and lay a century-old foundation for my Liu family! ”

At the same time.

Liu Qianxing, who led 20,000 "Qing Heavenly Soldiers", was also secretly praying.

This battle.

For the Liu family, it is also a victory that cannot be defeated.

Let's not talk about whether the Ming army will cut off their skulls after defeat.

It's the cost of recruiting 20,000 troops.

has already hollowed out the Liu family's family foundation.

Although 20,000 heroes are sure to have their hearts set on the Qing Dynasty.

But that doesn't mean they will work for innocence.

For the settling-in fee alone, the Liu family has to pay 10 taels of silver per person.

That's 200,000 taels of white flowers.

In addition, it cost another 200,000 yuan to purchase ordnance, make military uniforms, camp tents, prepare grain and grass, make manpower carts, and hire civilian men and men who accompany the army.

Of the 400,000 taels of silver, the Liu family took out 300,000, and several families together with the anti-Ming Lanfang clan made up 100,000.

If this battle is lost.

There is no need for the Ming army to cut off his Liu Qianxing's skull.

He himself would have to jump into the sea - all bankrupt and out of money.

When the loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty are in charge of this.

There's no one left.

The officials of the Qing Dynasty themselves, and even the Eight Banners who are qualified to be the servants of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, are not like him Liu Qianxing, who is a Qing family.

This is really a red heart to the Qing Dynasty.

"But this time we united the countries of Borneo, with a total of 80,000 troops, and the news from Pontianak... Then Zhu Daohua only brought 4,000 troops to come, and I am equivalent to 20 times the anti-Ming army!! ”

"Twenty times the superiority of troops, how... Can you win? ”

Liu Qianxing, who was sitting on the sliding pole, opened his eyes and looked at the army that could not see the end at a glance, and suddenly felt a little confident in his heart.

..........

Since it's going to show.

Then you have to show it in person.

Originally, according to Napoleon's idea, it was a direct assault of the army, an encounter with the opponent, and a battle to break the enemy.

However, Zhu Daohua insisted on showing it to the Chinese with the surname Lanfang.

And if you want to show off beautifully, you have to choose a good show.

Finally, after the survey of the Joint Staff, an open field located not far from Pontianak City was selected.

After clearing all the trees and weeds.

It's a plain with no obstructed view.

Whether you are standing on the low walls of Luojia Siege Tower or Pontianak City, you can see the situation of the battlefield.

It was on the side of the battlefield that Zhu Daohua had chosen.

The Ming army soon erected a camp.

A trench was dug around the camp, and on one side of the trench was a breastwork wall to facilitate the firing of guns.

And the breastwall is not completely enclosed.

There are also several huge suspension bridges.

As long as the rope is cut, you can step out of the battlefield along the drawbridge.

Behind the trenches are rows of wooden fences wrapped in hardwood, which divide the camp into different functional areas.

Material storage, barracks for soldiers to rest, warehouses for artillery and ordnance, makeshift quarters, etc.

Avoid interference in different areas.

In the center of the camp is Zhu Daohua's command post.

Built with hardwood rammed earth.

There are two floors.

There is a lookout on the top floor.

Zhu Daohua and his staff officers can use binoculars at the lookout to check the battlefield situation at any time.

Next to the command post was a platoon of heralds on standby.

through them.

More than 4,000 soldiers can be completely controlled by the command post to form a very sophisticated war machine.

In a word.

After seeing such a camp and the sun and moon flags fluttering on the camp.

The Chinese who had not escaped in Pontianak were a little relieved.

Zhu Daohua also looked at the rows of soldiers in a neat queue with satisfaction, and he looked very high-spirited.

Now there are only more than 10,000 people, and the army will be expanded to 30,000 in the future.

There are 30,000 such elite soldiers.

Can the lord of Guangdong deserve it?

Another two hundred thousand ....

The dragon chair in Beijing.

It should be in your own pocket!
