Chapter 383 Ryukyu, I'm coming!
So Qianlong immediately ordered Fukang'an to rush to the rebel area, gather troops from Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan and Gansu to put out the damn rebellion, and made another order to let Shanxi, Zhili and Shandong rectify the troops and horses to extinguish all suspicious sources of chaos in the provinces at any time, even the eastern Heilongjiang, Jilin and Shengjing. They have begun to gather soldiers and horses.
"The soldiers and horses in all provinces of the world are about to move. You know, as soon as the army moves, the food and fodder go first. Therefore, in order to ensure the needs of those who fight against the rebels, we who stay in place to eat the salary can only be reduced." Wang Shouli is also full of dissatisfaction, but this is the emperor's order. What can he do?
"I came to find you by the order of our governor. I hope you can appease your military spirit. After all, most of the soldiers transferred now are the elites of the three standards of town, fu and governor. Although there are still some eight flag soldiers in Guangzhou City, those things are not things in the first place. Yingyi is now on Hong Kong Island. Who knows what those things are? At that time, I had cramps again to trouble us. Therefore, I hope that the general of Humen Town, who guards the Pearl River waterway, can appease the hearts of the soldiers. The prestige of Guangzhou City from the sea depends on you. Wang Shouli said to Liang Pengfei.
"Don't worry, brother, but with me, I won't let Yingyi invade my mainland, but I mentioned it to you last time..."
"Don't worry, the Governor has agreed. The order is here to give you full power over the defense of Hong Kong, so that it is difficult to ask for instructions under the military emergency." Wang Shouli patted his oily head and quickly took out a hand order from his arms and gave it to Liang Pengfei.
"Thank you very much, brother." Liang Pengfei was overjoyed and took over the order. With this, his control of the area of Hong Kong Island seemed so righteous. Anyway, the dignitaries in Guangzhou City have turned the area of Hong Kong Island into a barbarian land, and it has always been a place for pirates. Therefore, for them, a small There is no harm in giving the small island to these Britons. It's better for them to kill each other with those pirates, which is more in their interest.
So, for the Hong Kong Island area, they are both disdainful and afraid. In short, there is a very complicated mentality, but no one wants to deal with those heroes.
Even if they admit that Hong Kong Island has been given to the British, no Qing official has met these Yingyi again. In their hearts, there is really no reason to talk to these unreasonable barbarians. Anyway, the court has agreed that they should stay here, so just let them stay.
And Liang Pengfei's self-volunteer almost won the superficial unanimous affirmation and praise from the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi. In private, he only felt that this guy was a young man.
--------------------
After hearing that Wang Shouli talked about the feelings of the officials of the two Guangdong and Guangxi, Liang Pengfei just smiled faintly: "Thank you for reminding me that those people can say whatever they want. Anyway, I don't need to rely on them to get promoted and get rich."
"Hahaha, that makes sense, brother, no one knows your ability. The means of making a fortune, brother, I'm even more out of reach..." Wang Shouli laughed with approval. There is no envy. Although it is not clear how many assets Liang Pengfei has, there are many industries in Guangzhou that belong to their old Liang family. The tobacco factory alone does not know how many people will be greedy for the money they earn every year.
However, because of Liang Da's fierce reputation, no one dares to think about Lao Liang's business. In addition, the yarn factory, big dyeing workshop and many other industries are also big money-making industries.
"Hey hey, if you have a little brother, you must have yours. Who let you cover me like this?" Liang Pengfei winned at Wang Shouli, and the two of them couldn't help laughing.
" By the way, there is another thing that has come to the patrol period. This time, your Humen town sailor should have been the patrol. But now, Hong Kong Island is regarded by Yingyi. You have a great responsibility and you can't leave it lightly. Therefore, brother, I have made a deal with the Governor, intending to let the Heshi Town, which has been re-established, patrol. I don't know what do you think? Wang Shouli said the last purpose of coming to Humen Town.
"This... It all depends on the arrangement of the admiral and the governor. To be honest, I have to arrange the defense of the Kowloon Peninsula during this period to prevent the invasion of those heroes and foreigners. I'm afraid it's difficult to have time to go to the patrol. In the words of the general military commander, I thought it was appropriate to choose for this. It has only been a few months for the town to become an army again, and the soldiers and generals also need to sharpen themselves into elites. Liang Pengfei was secretly happy. Grandma was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to leave Guangzhou and go to Ryukyu. Wang Shouli actually sent the opportunity to the door, which was even better.
"Well, in that case, after returning to Guangzhou, I will send it to the governor to order General Wu to patrol." Wang Shouli was finally relieved and finished his business.
He sent away Wang Shouli, who was full of wine and food, and went away with a toothpick. Liang Pengfei took a deep breath. Scholar, immediately sent someone to tell Wu Qianjin about this matter and let him prepare. In addition, inform his wife and let him go back to Crab King Island and let the warship prepare. It's time for us to go to Ryukyu to play with those Japanese.
"Young master, are you going to make a Japanese?" Bai Shusheng asked with an excited face.
"Nonsense? Do you still think I really go to play with the Japanese? Liang Pengfei glanced at the white scholar.
"But my lord, now that Annan's matter is still uncertain, should we wait first?" Ni Ming, who was standing aside, said with some worry.
"It's okay. With Li Dashuang's tens of thousands of trained elites, Ruan Fuying's cold weapons-based army is not their opponent at all. Now, Zheng Lianchang and Xu Sanyan have left Kunlun Island and went to Sumatra Island, and Kunlun Island has been stationed by Mo Guan's fleet, which can threaten it at any time. After the protection of the southern Ruandu city of Jiading and its coast without the protection of the sailors, there is also the port country of Yan Zitian in the west. No matter how powerful Ruan Fuying in the Southern Dynasty is, there is no chance to escape this disaster at all. Annan's pacification is only a matter of several months.
Now, those Westerners are quarreling with India about the demarcation of colonial areas. The strength of the British has been greatly damaged, and the Western colonists can't threaten me for the time being. The typhoon season around Ryukyu has not yet arrived. Therefore, if you don't take this opportunity to occupy a key point of the first island chain overseas in the mainland of Kyushu, I'm really sorry that God gave me such a good opportunity.
In May, the Ryukyu Island looks very cool. The coral reef surrounds the whole island. There are many white beaches around the island. On the blue sea, there are many sail leaves dotted in it, but soon, these fishing boats and merchant ships seem to see Like a ghost, he seemed a little scared and accelerated his speed and rushed to the coast of the Ryukyu Big Island.
"Damn, I haven't even had time to greet them. What, did our warship scare them?" Liang Pengfei looked at his fleet with an arrogant and proud face.
--------------------
Liang Pengfei's words provoked the laughter of his subordinates. Indeed, this fleet of three three-class battleships and twenty-seven three-mast warships is indeed very shocking.
In this era, most of the people who operate in the waters in this area are merchant ships and fishing boats of the Qing Dynasty or the Kingdom of China, but occasionally the merchant ships of Western merchants will leave after a short stop here. However, this fleet, composed of tall ships that they had never seen before, appeared in the coastal waters of the Ryukyu Islands. It was no wonder that those people were not scared.
Before someone over there can answer, there is already someone here who can't stand Liang Pengfei. Husband, since you have arrived at the Ryukyu Big Island, can you make way? It seems that I am the supreme commander of this fleet, right? Bao Zai, they are also listening to the teacher's lecture. Don't quarrel with those students, okay? Next to her, Shi Xianggu, dressed in a beautiful white navy uniform, coughed twice and looked at her little husband standing beside her with his teeth and claws on angrily. He raised the corners of his eyes and swayed to the side.
"Ah, of course, of course, for my husband, brothers, let's go to the front deck to see the scenery. No one is allowed to quarrel with my wife to command the fleet, otherwise I will not end up with him." Before Liang Pengfei left, he had appointed his wife, Shi Xianggu, as the supreme commander of the fleet. He was only responsible for landing and fighting. Seeing that those students and instructors were all staring at him, Master Liang couldn't help blushing a little. He smiled dryly and quickly led Liang Shuisheng and others. He slipped down the command platform of the tail building.
Shi Xianggu looked at her husband's back, and a beautiful arc was slightly bent at the corners of her mouth, but she turned around and converged. She glanced at the admirals behind her, most of whom were young people, and among them, there were several Western faces. They were talking about the language of their own country. What are the young naval officers telling?
And one of the overly young students was listening carefully to the teacher's speech and taking notes quickly. The young face, which could even be said to be immature, was full of thirst for knowledge. This made Shi Xianggu's eyes a little more gentle and kind. This is the youngest student among all the students, her adopted son Zhang Baozai. Now he is only 13 years old. With excellent results, he has jumped several levels in a row. This time, the practical internship at sea, the general of the college recommendation form His name comes first.
These young naval officers are all students of the Crab King Island Military Academy, and those Westerners are naturally teachers. This is the first time that their group of naval officers have participated in actual combat internships.
