Chapter 320 Another trick!
Sun Shijie covered his mouth and coughed for a long time before he seemed to be angry. He stretched out his finger and clicked at the map: "Since ancient times, Liangguang has been regarded as a fishy place to avoid by the scholars of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, and the court is the same. Liangguang is making a lot of trouble. For the court and those scholars, it is like an anecdote of the sky. Even if the British envoy between Guangdong and Fujian was attacked this time, the news that the Fujian sailors and several generals were unexpectedly resolved by the court understated. Moreover, in the eyes of those scholars, it was just the careless mind of the court kings. In an instant, didn't they empty those grass bandits? "
Yes, this is the habit that has been developed over the years. The ability to cover up the ears and steal the bell is almost at its peak. Liang Pengfei raised the sharp eyebrows like a knife and said, "Let everyone in the world know that the barbarians they have despised for hundreds of years are no longer ants, and they can tear off large pieces of flesh and blood from their bodies at any time. Then, we can only let them pay the attention of the soldiers to the north, and it is better to drive the British to the Liangjiang area. Let those people taste the pain, and they may wake up.
"If it's difficult, how can we let them listen to us?" Wu Qian vigorously hugged his head, and the flesh on his face was wrinkled into bitter gourd. This is the voice of the people present.
So, everyone is meditating. Of course, some people pretend to be meditating, while others are really thinking. Liang Pengfei's eyes have always had a meaningful smile, and his face was full of profound looking at somewhere on the map, but he did not mean to be the first to open his mouth at all. His appearance seemed to have figured out a countermeasure.
Now, he looks like he is taking the strategy of his subordinates. As for whether he has an idea or not, I'm afraid only God and Liang Pengfei, a guy with bad intentions, will know it.
However, for Liang Pengfei's past practice, his subordinates have a kind of almost blind worship and trust in him, because Master Liang has been leading everyone forward step by step, and every step seems to be just right, as if he were a prophet. With such a leader, whoever There will be this kind of trust, who makes Young Master Liang a shameless traveler, with the vision and overall view of surpassing all the great men in this era.
"The strengths of Yingyi lie in the sea. If they want to achieve their goal, they must come from the sea, which does not need to be considered and envisaged." Sun Shijie first confirmed that the threat must come from the sea.
--------------------
The remaining consideration is where they go to fight, which can cause the shock of the whole country, and even the panic of the whole country.
"How about directly insugging them to fight here?" Bai Shusheng, a vicious guy, poked his fingers directly into the bay next to Manqing's heart.
Sun Shijie's eyes lit up next to: "It's good. This is indeed an excellent position. However, the difficulty here is the focus of the court's defense on the sea. Dagukou is a place fortification of heavy soldiers. It is only more than 100 miles away from Tianjin and only three or four hundred miles away from the capital.
It is bordered by the Bohai Sea in the east and the Haihe Plain in the west, across the river from Tanggu. The land is needed by Jiuhejin, and the road is connected to seven provinces. It is known as the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin and the throat of the sea and land. After Zhu Di, the ancestor of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, built the capital of Yanjing in the second year, he built a city in Tianjin and a cannon in Dagu Haikou. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it has placed heavy troops in Tianjin and set up a defense against Dagu. Although there are not many troops in the Dagu Fort, it is very close to the capital and Tianjin. Once there is a warning, the soldiers and horses of Tianjin and Beijing will come in the morning and evening. Sun Shijie touched the long beard on his chin. He glanced at the people who were listening to his explanation, paused and then said.
"If the British attack here, they can only gain power temporarily at most, but they will be blocked by the army of the court in an instant. Moreover, the area of Dagu is a place of heavy defense, and there are few people. If the court is afraid of losing face and suppressing this matter, I'm afraid that only the capital will be shocked. It is difficult for the people in the world to know the truth. . Well, this foot seems to be extremely heavy, but it is actually light.
"You mean, the effect of hitting here is not good?" Wu Qian scratched his scalp and asked. A. Chen Tianbao meditated for a long time and said slightly, "Mrs. Sun's advice is reasonable. It's not appropriate to take this place. It's even better to drive the British to attack Shandong. It's just that the people of Shandong will suffer."
"If you want to suffer, you can only suffer in the court, minimize the loss and harm to the people, and then be able to defeat the court and shock the world. This is the purpose of adults, so Shandong can't fight." Ni Ming, who had been thinking hard, didn't wait for Chen Tianbao's words to fall, and he had already grabbed the conversation.
"That's the truth." Sun Shijie also agreed with Ni Ming's suggestion. However, Chen Tianbao smiled faintly, stroked his three rays of long beards, and his eyes flashed with a shrewd light. He said faintly, "In this case, Chen still has a suggestion, but I don't know if it's appropriate."
"Oh, if Brother Tianbao has an idea, just say it, I let everyone come, I hope that everyone can work together, try their best to come up with a way, and improve it." Liang Pengfei nodded to Chen Tianbao, looking forward to the admiral who had become the commander of the navy under Ruan Wenhui to give him a good suggestion.
"In fact, in the past, Chen also mentioned this idea to Emperor Guangzhong of Annan, that is, Ruan Wenhui, because at that time, the court sent a large army to attack Annan and attacked from General Lin head-on. Your Excellency, you looked at the north according to Ruan Wenyue's land and put this opportunity of the crisis in the Xishan Dynasty. Chen proposed two methods to Ruan Wenhui to force the court. The retreat of the court, one is to disperse the sailors of the Xishan Dynasty, entangle the pirates in the waters of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, and disturb the sea, one of the sea, one is to make the sailors of the court unable to attack the Xishan Dynasty, and the other is to make the supplies of the court can only be replenished from the land, increasing its difficulty.
Chen Tianbao was a little embarrassed to retell his original plan, but at this time, everyone was listening to his explanation attentively and did not care about his embarrassment. After all, it was normal that he was the old minister of Annan and plotted for him.
"What's the other suggestion?" Ni Ming couldn't wait to ask.
"It's very simple. Gather a huge fleet, pass through the mouth of the Yangtze River, go straight into the Yangtze River, and cut off its transportation." When Chen Tianbao said this, he could stop and heard the neat gasp around him.
This trick is not poisonous, and it can even be said to be extremely vicious. You know, the transportation can be said to be the artery of the forbidden country of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the aorta. It transports at least four million stones of grain to the north every year. The grain is a source of rations for the royal nobles and princes and ministers in the capital, and a source of supplies for the Eight Banners Army stationed in the area of Yanjing.
It can be said that if there is a problem with this artery, it will not only affect the court, but also the whole north will fall into panic, and the whole country will cause great shock and even chaos.
"This move is really... wonderful." Liang Pengfei could only shake his head and sighed. This old guy was really cruel.
"If this plan really wanted to succeed at that time, I'm afraid that the court would not only not attack Annan because of this, but also increase the number of troops and generals, thinking that it would be a shame." Sun Shijie was also shaking his head, but his statement was recognized by Chen Tianbao.
"Yes, Ruan Wenhui had this concern at the beginning. In addition, although many pirates in the Guangdong sea area also worked in the Xishan Dynasty at that time, the most powerful family was unwilling to listen to Chen. It seems that the wife was already on guard at that time." Chen Mobao stroked his long beard and continued to laugh harmlessly.
However, several generals standing beside him still subconsciously retreated half a step. The dangerous old pirate, no wonder Ruan Wenhui was so trustworthy.
--------------------
"Okay, Brother Tianbao's strategy is very good. The British are not as good as Annan. Annan uses this strategy to anger the court, which will make the court wield a large army to destroy its country, but the British are thousands of miles away. Even if their colony is far away, it is far away in India. With the sailors of the court, hey hey hey..." Liang Pengfei said happily.
"Yes, this is indeed the best choice, such as Zhenjiang. If the British attack here, it is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. As long as the transportation is cut off from here, not to mention the court, the world will be shocked. The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains will be stunned one after another. At that time, they will look at the invaders and understand that there are countries in the world that dare to challenge their authority, and the Western ships and artillery will no longer be The rumors that come out of their mouths are something that makes them deeply feel shocked. Ni Ming's eyes were shining, and his fingers spit on the map, as if he was unwilling to poke a hole in the silk map.
"I believe that as long as people wake up these British at the right time, they will definitely fall into our trap." Liang Pengfei's face showed a sinister smile.
"But before that, although the dark line you arranged has won the trust of the British, the British, who have always been proud and arrogant, will certainly not listen to our kindness at will. Therefore, we must fight at the mouth of the Pearl River and let them retreat in the face of difficulties." Sun Shijie nodded and tapped his fingers gently on the table.
"What's that? Ha ha ha, Humen Town is at the mouth of the Pearl River. The mouth of the Pearl River is my defense area. If the British come, they will naturally suffer." Liang Pengfei bent the corners of his mouth. Dry, how's the fort?
"Don't worry, my lord, the forts outside the mouth of the Pearl River have been reinforced and arranged to ensure that there is no problem. But my lord, do you want to defend? Wu Qianjin quickly straightened up and replied.
"Of course, if we beat the British too much, there is a fart way to play. All we have to do is to let them suffer a loss first, and then they will be obedient. When they are busy, I will boil the boiling water, prepare a pig knife, and wait for them to throw themselves into the net. Liang Pengfei's arrogant laughter echoed in the room.
