Chapter 224: Military discussion before sailing
The composition of the attack fleet:
2 Nanhai-class battleships, the captains are Yan Changwu and Siresma;
2 Tainan-class five-class sailing cruise ships, the captains of which are Kostit and Cheng Yu;
16 Kaohsiung-class six-class sailing cruise ships!
plus 6 fast supply ships (they all have 10 12-pounder guns on the open deck), and 2 Fogate’s clippers for communication.
The 28-ship fleet is commanded by Yan Changwu and Gan Hui as the deputy commander.
The affairs of the Southeast Mansion are handled by Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, Chen Hebin, Li Ying, and Li De. The transfer of the left-behind fleet and the transfer of more than ten Marines must be signed by Chen Zhongji and Li Ying in order to be effective.
"I can't believe you!" Yan Changwu bluntly said to the left-behind personnel: "The system is better than the people, so you are good, me, and everyone is good!"
The management of Dongnan Prefecture has gradually become institutionalized, and everyone has begun to get used to it.
The dispatched ships are all fast ships. Yan Changwu announced that there are two third-tier battleships that will be in service this year under the two deputy admiral Li Ying and Li De as captains!
At first, everyone thought that Yan Changwu was dedicated to using military academies, but he put them on hold for the two Admiral Li, but they did not expect that they would become the captain of the battleship!
The news was released, and the two Li immediately congratulated the guest at the door.
Yan Changwu did have some thoughts before. After all, the two Uncle Li were brothers of his cheap father Yan Siqi, not his brothers. Later, Chen Zhongji persuaded him.
"If they had any ideas before, they won't have them now! Because you have completely controlled the disk!
You lack manpower, very lacking, if there is one power, there is one more power! "
There have been war victories on the outside, and on the inside, the living standards of the people are steadily high. Who can do this?
And he has passed his most difficult period, a new generation of officers is emerging, and this officer corps has him at the core and is loyal to him.
Yan Changwu took it for granted, activated the two lees, and asked them to strengthen their training, and may participate in the Battle of Batavia in the future.
The two Lis were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
The situation is very obvious. Yan Changwu has a bright future in the future. Following him, the future is likely to be like everyone following Cao Cao!
will be sealed in the future, not to mention!
Thank you, everyone, you have followed the right boss!
……
"Everyone, sit down!" Yan Changwu was sitting at one end of the small conference room of the Naval Headquarters of the Southeast Mansion. All the officers stood erect, and when they heard his order, they sat down together.
The time was the dusk of June 2 in 1630. The sky was full of sunset clouds, and the densely packed battleships in the Kaohsiung Naval Port were all golden, and everyone I saw was proud of it.
"A lot of work!" Yan Changwu said a little tiredly: "I'm leaving tomorrow. This meeting should have been held long ago, but the Governor is really busy, and it is not too late now, let's talk about it!"
"Our battle this time is a good opportunity to put our strength in Guangdong and build our reputation, which is very good for us!" He said straight to the point.
"We played against Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi, there is nothing to say, one word is ‘Boom!’"
"Shoot when you see it, stop talking nonsense!"
"The ten kills are known to everyone. Unless the commander retreats based on the battlefield situation, everyone will advance or retreat."
"Liu Xiang used to assassinate me, and Li Kuiqi owes us blood debts. Therefore, I owe 30,000 silver dollars to Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi's heads! I want to redeem 30,000 silver dollars for Li Kuiqi living people. The officers and soldiers who captured them, except for the reward of silver. , Will be promoted to the third level." Yan Changwu spread his hands and said: "I don't have to say anything and never break my promise, everyone knows that I do what I say!"
Everyone nodded, and the distinction between rewards and punishments is clearly a major feature of the Southeast Army.
Yan Changwu finished speaking and went to Deputy Chief of Staff Gan Hui to explain the enemy's situation.
"The Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi bandits have more than 5,000 people and more than 230 large and small ships. The main ships are:
There are as many as ten large Chinese military ships (it belongs to the fast Xiamen Tongan ship type. The ship is 32 meters long, 7.1 meters wide, 3 meters deep, has a displacement of 225 tons, a load of 100 tons, and 3 masts and 4 sails);
There are fifty **** boats (the black boat is a wooden sailing ship along the coast of Fujian and Guangzhou. The hull is painted black, the shape of the ship is like a trough, and the two sides of the bow are painted with eyes, so it is called the black boat. The boat was originally a fishing boat. Converted into a transport ship or battle ship. The length is 12 meters and the width is 4 meters.);
There are also eighty boats for fishing (reformed from fishing boats with nets, they are medium-sized boats built in southern Fujian, with a length of 12-25 meters and a width of 3.6-6.4 meters.);
About 20 boats (also called double-bonnet boats) are medium-sized warships with solid structure, flexible driving and fast driving built in Zhangzhou and Xiamen. The length is 20 meters, the width is 5.7 meters, and it is loose, The ship is constructed of fir wood. The ship can also be used as an ocean freight ship. The boat people and their families live on the ship. It has sleeping cabins and can be transformed into a warship if needed.)
They have established four bases, one is Huilai Shenquan Town, where Shenquan Port is the largest natural harbor in eastern Guangdong. It gathers the three major rivers of Inner River, Leiling River and Yanling River in the county. There are many fishing boats, and he can get from there. Replenishment of ships and personnel is his main base;
The second one is Haifeng Tateishi, where Tianweiyang outside the sea, they often move there.
The third is Wanshan Islands, where the Pearl River estuary is choked, where they can set off to enter the Pearl River and hijack the shipping there.
The last one is Hailing Island (Yangjiang), which is actually the setting of the Three Caves of Guitu.
They are equipped with guns on both sides of the Chinese military ship. There are as many as twelve. The rest of the ships are bow and stern guns. There are no side guns. The **** ships have guns, but there are not many heavy guns. They are all small guns. The ship’s first gun was twelve pounds, and most of the other guns were 6 to 4 pounds.
Many of Liu Xiang’s ships are equipped with ‘composite armor~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone must be very careful!
……"
If Liu Xiang was also in this meeting, he would have a cold sweat after hearing it!
Because of his information, the accuracy is very high!
hasn't hit yet, his details are exposed.
Yan Changwu didn’t spend any money on the Intelligence Bureau. Over the years, the Intelligence Bureau has been quite low-key, and it is not obvious. However, the Intelligence Bureau targets various forces, such as Liu Xiang. The Intelligence Bureau uses merchants and fishing boats (pirates are impossible He is constantly spying on his information, with mental arithmetic and unintentional (there is no anti-thief for a thousand days), and his information accumulates.
"We have few ships, but our guns, in view of their composite armor, we have urgently reinforced all six-tier cruise ships, equipped with six 18-pound heavy artillery to break the defense.
They have many ships, they are likely to fight with us, divide and surround us, use fire boats to attack us, and even many fire boats, we have to keep the distance, the four words ‘don’t worry’!
Also, they are likely to lure us into shallow waters. When we leave after the meeting, each captain will send a chart of the coast of Guangdong Province. Basically, the shallow water is on the chart! There are also sea breeze pictures from time to time!
Let me explain, pay attention to confidentiality. Everyone has taken a confidentiality course. Everyone knows what they can and cannot do. This chart can only be seen by the captain, the deputy captain and the navigator. No one else is allowed to see it. Do not copy! "Gan Hui said sternly.
So, victory is not only on the battlefield. The hydrographic exploration team that makes charts alone also spends a lot of money. Their footprints have traveled all over the coast of the mainland, and their footprints have reached the Philippines and Batavia! Over the years, silently ensured the victory!
Early the next morning, with a warm farewell, the fleet sailed into the rising sea and headed for Guangdong Province!
