Chapter 152 Prelude to the War!
"Is this Zheng Lianchang's handwritten letter?" Sun Quanmou reached out and rubbed his eyes and stared at his eyes again. However, the handwriting on the letter paper sandwiched in the official document did not change at all.
Lin Guoliang, the deputy general next to, took the letter paper and looked at it carefully. After a closer look, he nodded for sure: "Your Excellency, although I'm not sure if this is Zheng Lianchang's handwriting, this seal can't be fake. This is the seal of Zheng Zhilong's soldiers in the previous dynasty. Zheng Lianchang is the descendant of Zheng Zhilong's brave general Zheng Jian, who uses this seal.
Sun Quanmou rubbed his forehead. He felt that he had some difficulty breathing. What the fuck is going on? In less than ten days, Liang Pengfei actually came up with a broken way. He wrote a letter of war and threatened to challenge the Red Flag Gang. As a result, Zheng Lianchang actually... "General Soldier, according to the news sent back by our secret detective Clippers, the Zheng family's fleet will arrive at the scheduled position as early as tomorrow night and the latest the day after tomorrow morning. Put it in the north of the ocean. Wu Liang, the president of Yingqian, glanced at Sun Quanmou, who looked like a dull goose who had not responded for a long time, cleared his throat and reminded him.
"How many man and horse warships have they dispatched?" Sun Quanmou left the official document on the desk and asked in a low voice.
"According to our spy Clippers, almost all the warships of the Red Flag Gang are ready to go." Wu Liang thought for a time and told Sun Quanmou the answer.
Sun Quanmou looked at the messenger quietly sent by Liang Peng in front of him, Wu Liang, a small general manager of Yingqian, with a little fire in his heart. He really didn't expect that he seduced Zheng Lianchang with just a few empty words. If he had known such a simple thing, how could he have given this task to Liang Pengfei?
It's equivalent to sending a great credit to that guy for no reason. Zheng Lianchang, Zheng Lianchang, are you stupid? A giant bandit who shocked the two sides of the public actually let a little squeak man out of the nest. Sun Quanmou was very sad and indignant, just like an aunt who was complacent about the 50 cents of the hawker when she was just buying vegetables. Finally, when she got home, she found that the 50 yuan the hawker gave him was actually fake money.
"I don't know what else the general has to say, and I can also return to the guard." After waiting for a long time, I only saw that the General Sun rolled his eyes there, and Wu Liang, the general manager of Ying Qian, had to speak again.
--------------------
"General Soldier, since the plan to lure the enemy has been completed, it should not be too late. We should prepare early." Huang Biao, the general next to him, also stood up and said.
Sun Quanmou nodded, raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Liang: "Well, tell Liang Shoubei that the previous words of my general are counted. Since he has successfully lured the enemy, when our army fights with the Zheng's thief, let him attack Zheng's old nest Lantau immediately. All right, you go."
"The subordinate obeys." Wu Liang, the general manager of the camp, opened his mouth, but for this general who seemed to be unpleasant to him no matter how he looked at it, he really didn't dare to say much, so he had to take the order respectfully.
"General Soldier, do you need to let Liang guard meet with Vice Admiral Lin and then listen to the deployment of Vice Admiral Lin?" Huang Biao couldn't help interrupting and asking.
"No need, the Admiral sent him under my command, not under the command of Vice Admiral Lin. It's really inappropriate for him to listen to Vice Admiral Lin. Let's order it like this." Sun Quanmou couldn't wait for Liang Pengfei to die alone. Let him climb Lin Guoliang's army. How can he let him be cannon fodder?
Huang Biao could only retreat to his position resentfully. Although he didn't expect that Liang Pengfei, an impulsive guy, would use this method to make Zheng Lianchang hook up, the problem is that good luck will not always be accompanied by one person.
"I just hope that the boy will not be carried away by the temporary success and rush to die." The yellow label can only comfort itself in this way.
"General Soldier, I'm afraid that the troops in our hands are just the same as that of the Zheng family. Should we report the military situation to Admiral Zhao and Governor Fu again and ask them to send several more battalions of sailors here?" A Dusi stood up and put forward his own opinions.
"What, are you afraid?" Sun Quanmou glanced at the Dusi and snorted disdainfully: "How can you defeat our master?! I used to say that when I followed Cai Du in Taiwan to fight with those rebels, I didn't face several times the enemy. Although those water bandits were so powerful, they were just a group of ignorant people. In the eyes of my general, such enemies were just local chickens.
"... The general soldier said very much, but we think that it should be a long-term plan. After all, the military order given to me by Governor Fu and Admiral Zhao is to contain the main force of the Zheng's navy, so that Vice General Lin and Qian Shen can take their nest calmly and cut off the Red Flag Gang in one fell swoop." Lin Guoliang cleared his throat and said. His expression was not very good. The main reason was that the General Sun didn't pay attention to these rampant pirates. This was not a good thing, but Lin Guoliang had seen it, but the problem was that the official level would crush people to death. He was afraid that even if he obstructed himself, the interested general would blame him at that time. On his own head, he could only lift out the two superiors, Fu Kang'an and Zhao Chengn.
"All right, there is no need to say more. The general has his own opinion and order to put the three armies on standby. Early tomorrow morning, he will go to the north of Lingdingyang, ready to fight to the death with the enemy at any time." General Sun waved his hand in high spirits, as if those pirates of the Zheng family were just a group of ordinary people who could not survive. They could only carry hoes and kitchen knives, and sat a boatboard under their buttocks. It felt like standing on the tall flagship and saw the defeat of the Red Flag Gang in front of its own eyes.
--------------------
"Dad, not only our Red Flag Gang, but also you asked your second uncle to invite Xu Sanyan of the Green Flag Gang. Isn't this too much for those guys to face?" Standing on the dock and watching the elite soldiers of the Zheng family gather on the dock one after another, Zheng Wenxian, who was ordered by his father Zheng Lianchang to stay and guard the island by the way, was quite disapproving.
Zheng Lianchang stroked the long white beard and said with a faint smile, "Wen Xian, do you think I'm worth doing this for the sake of a fierce battle letter? Last night, the nail of our old Zheng family in the sailors, but the news has come that the Guangdong sailors have gathered more than a hundred warships in Qi'ao, nearly 10,000 people.
Zheng Wenxian couldn't help but be stunned: "Dad, do you mean that the boy's battle letter is to set up a trap for our Zheng family and let us throw ourselves into the net?"
"I'm afraid I'm in this way, but it's a pity that this boy is a little young. Our Zheng family, since the Ming Dynasty, can stand in the mouth of the Pearl River. Is it easy to do it?" Zheng Lianchang looked at the towering warship in the distance of the dock. Guangdong sailors, even if they are Lin Guangyu and Qian Bangyan, who are already lurking on Dahengqin Island, are just a group of mediocre people. The warships in their hands are not as good as our Zheng family's warships. Why should I be afraid? It's just a joke to surround and annihilate me.
"Dad, you know it's a game, what you mean... Is it just a trick? Xu Sanyan, who united with the Green Flag Gang, swallowed this sailor? Zheng Wenxian felt a little ashamed. It seemed that his father's vision was indeed much broader and far greater than his own.
"Yes, Xu Sanyan of the Green Flag Gang has at least six or 7,000 people who can fight well. We and the Zheng family have been rampant around the mouth of the Pearl River for a long time. They are familiar with the waterway and are even more good at attacking and disturbing. As long as they give Xu Sanyan a sweet tooth, not to mention letting him completely solve the partial division of the court, but Xu Sanyan still has This is capable."
"As for the sailors of Qi'ao, even if they can't gather and anniper them, as long as they are disabled, the defense of the sailors in Guangzhou is equivalent to only four supervision battalions left. At that time, even if our old Zheng family dominates the Pearl River waterway, who can stand me in Liangguang? Zheng Lianchang sneered proudly, and then said to Zheng Wenxian, "I'm going out to fight for my father. It's up to you and our Zheng's direct children to be stationed here. Don't be careless."
"Dad, don't worry. I, Zheng, have been operating in this Lantau Island for many years. This place has been solid for a long time. My son dares not say anything else. At least it is not a problem to stop the strong enemy in March and May." Zheng Wenxian looked back at the pier not far away. The shrimp bunker was as tall as a city tower. The thick wall was like a great giant, stuck between the two cliffs and guarded the whole shrimp bunker safely.
"Those 3,000 Zheng's children given to you by your father are the foundation of our old Zheng family. In short, it's better to be careful." Zheng Lianchang glanced at the island opposite the shrimp steak, meaning something.
"Dad, don't worry, my son has checked it, and everything is safe." Zheng Wenxian nodded and smiled. Looking at the inconspicuous island, it is on that island, but the wealth plundered by the Zheng family in the past 150 years since the Ming Dynasty, this will never be a small amount. I'm afraid that even the lord of a country will be jealous and want to grab it desperately.
On the dock of the new camp, the soldiers of the new camp of the Guangdong Marine Division are lining up towards the warships moored on the shore. Although they do not know where their destination is, they firmly believe that Liang Pengfei will be able to taste the fruits of victory.
Right next to Liang Pengfei, Sun Shijie smiled bitterly and indescribably melancholy. Even if he wanted to have a bad head, he couldn't understand why the Zheng family knew that it was a game and rushed to death, but when he heard the information that Master Liang didn't know where he got, the Red Flag helped the Zheng family and the Green Flag to help the Xu family. After attacking the Chaoting sailor, Sun Shijie began to worry about the safety of his owner, Master Liang.
But the problem is that the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs. Now Sun Shijie feels like that unlucky eunuch. He racked his brains and tried his tongue to tell Liang Pengfei that with more than a thousand people here alone, it is extremely unrealistic to attack Zheng's nest, and even very good. You can even put your life in it.
But the problem is that Liang Pengfei was like a bastard with a weight in his stomach. He smiled and thought that what he said was reasonable, but he still did what he should do.
"Mr. Sun, don't worry too much. The problems you think about do exist, but I don't think it's a big problem. Besides, Liang went there this time, it's not just these soldiers." Liang Pengfei grinned and said, "Do you think I will attack the nest that the Zheng family has been running for more than a hundred years with these eight-pound and 12-pound cannons? Although I like to take risks, I will never be stupid.
Hearing Liang Pengfei's words, if Sun Shijie realized something, he simply closed his eyes and stopped talking. Anyway, it's useless to say more now. It's better to wait and see what happens.
At the same time, at the mouth of the Gorge of Crab King Island, a towering warship slowly sailed out. On the towering mast, there was the Liang family battle flag carefully designed by Master Liang, a ferocious shark bone flag, and a large, bloody Liang flag. Under the battle flag, Liang Yuanxia and Liang's official. He talked about cigarettes with tin foil in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and opened his neckline, revealing his dark chest hair standing in the bow of the boat. The plagiarism and barbarism seemed to be an adjective specially designed for him. Behind him were the same barbaric and plagiarism Lao Liang pirate.
Official Liang's hand patted the body of a huge cannon behind him, and his eyes were doting as if he were looking at his own child. The cannon body, which was so huge that people could not breathe, was emitting a dark light. The ferocious muzzle was enough for Liang's whole brain. The bag is too spacious to put in.
This is the booty that Liang Pengfei seized from the Spanish governor of Luzon at that time, a 32-pound shore fire cannon. However, there are only two of this giant shore cannons in total. This kind of heavy gun with a range of more than four and a half miles, Liang's official hit it from small to large, which was really the first time he saw it.
It is also because of the resolute request of his son Liang Pengfei that in order to pull the 32-two-pound cannons from Luzon to Crab King Island to remove them into the warship again, and more than 300 people delayed them for four hours to get them up.
"With this thing, not to mention the stone wall, even his mother's copper wall and iron wall can tear down his mother's rottenness!" Official Liang thought happily. That's what he said.
"Tell the brothers to work harder. Before dawn tomorrow, we must bypass the Chaoting sailors on Dahengqin Island, arrive at the Lianding waterway, and join my son to build a red flag to help the Zheng family's nest!" Liang Yuanxia spit her cigarette butt into the sea and roared loudly.
"Yes! Guys, work harder. Countless pirates of the old Liang family shouted, responded, and raised sails. The fleet of seven warships was like a group of huge white sharks, swimming towards the sea in the distance.
