Chapter 880: Hong Kong official who maintains ecological balance

The plot did follow the idea of ​​Chen De, the commander of the Southeast Fleet. His and Storm's petition went to the ruling government, and the leader's wife and Prime Minister Chen Zhongji immediately approved their resignation.

However, they were dismissed from their military posts, they were removed, not removed, and they were left with dignity because they resigned due to illness, not because of fighting.

The rest of the glory remained undiminished. The admiral's rank was retained, his knighthood was retained, and Chen De's status as an important "Member of the Military Committee of the Southeast Mansion" still existed.

The Southeast Military Commission is an organization set up by Yan Changwu to control the army. He is the chairman of the committee. He is the deputy chairman and the wife of the leader. The rest are members. The Southeast Military Commission is the highest military decision and command of the Southeastern government. Organs, leading the armed forces of the whole government.

It is obvious that they have received it for generations, and Chen De's honor is still not a problem, and no one dares to be rude to him.

The position he arranged before his departure was confirmed by the leader’s wife. Officer Hong Xi was the acting commander of the Southeast Fleet and the acting commander of the First Fleet, Cheng Yu was the acting commander of the Second Fleet, and the foreign general Siresma was appointed as the deputy of the Southeast Fleet. Commander, Yan Zhang is the deputy commander of the First Fleet, and Xiao Changrong is the deputy commander of the Second Fleet.

Official Hong Xi who has been formally appointed will take the responsibility, chase the remnant enemies, and drive them out of the territory of the Southeast Mansion.

According to his idea, some battleships were left to defend the Port of Rising Sun. As a result, his plan was rejected by the military director Chen Zhongji.

The commander was very young during the war, so Chen Zhongji personally took the commission to the flagship and held a meeting of senior officers overnight to settle the matter.

It's officialdom inertia to help the novice on the horse and send it off.

After reading the letter of commission, Chen Zhongji first praised the official Hong Xi. He is the second generation of the Red Man of the Southeast Mansion where the roots of Hong Miao are right. He fought bravely, charged forward, and had great feats of circumnavigating the world. He was able to circle the earth. That quality is leveraged.

Official Hong Xi publicly stated that he would definitely live up to the high expectations of the leader, his wife, and Premier Chen, and that he would definitely lead the Southeast Fleet to a good record, defend his home and defend the country, and he was duty-bound.

Then, speaking of urgent need, he was ready to set sail tomorrow to hunt down Hong Maofan.

He intends to keep the Second Fleet and guard the city of Rising Sun.

"Take all the fleets away and kill Hong Maofan." Chen Zhongji snorted coldly: "What are you doing with so many people left behind!"

"But..." Official Hong Xi was worried!

"Go!" Chen Zhongji waved his hand: "If the enemy really hits the door, when our muskets are used for hunting?!"

He said with great interest: "We are all firearmed, and there are so many muskets and artillery. When I was doing business with your father, we used knives and guns, and there were few bows and arrows. It was much more dangerous than the current situation. , You can feel relieved to fight!"

Buying and selling? What trade?

The young officers looked at this senior in admiration.

"How is your military strategy?" Chen Zhongji asked.

Official Hong Xi made such an arrangement: "Let go of those enemy ships with fierce firepower and good hulls, and we will specifically look for those warships that have been attacked by us before and that have been more severely damaged to fight!"

Chen Zhongji didn't say anything, the officers: "..."

In front of Chen Zhongji, everyone gave Hong Xi official face and did not object, and that's okay, the risk of fighting is not high, and the merits of the battle are easy to get.

After the meeting, Yan Zhangqian smiled and said, "I can't imagine that Chief Hong is actually maintaining the ecological balance of the natural world!"

Everyone hurriedly asked: "What do you say?"

Yan Zhang repeated the leader's words: "The hunting of prey by beasts, the weak, sick and disabled, is a natural ecological balance!"

Everyone is laughing!

The leader has many wonderful judgments. Regarding environmental protection and ecological balance, there is indeed this paragraph. He did not expect Hong Xi to imitate this method of warfare.

Siresma commented: "Commander Hong is young and promising!" The next sentence is: "Commander Hong is old-fashioned!"

He was polite, and did not say that Commander Hong was very angry.

His mastery of Chinese idioms made everyone admire him. It seems that Cai Yang will be effective in learning Chinese culture.

When the fleet was dispatched, Hong Xi official talked with the flagship's deputy captain Shi Lang, Hong Xi official told him: "If you don't sit in this position, you will never know how heavy your responsibility is!"

"I now feel the pressure of our one enemy two, Commander Chen!"

"If he is defeated and the fleet is annihilated by Hong Maofan, our Southeast Mansion will have a catastrophe!" Hong Xiguan fingered the island and said: "We will be trapped in the island, and Hong Maofan will fight us if he wants to. Fight, do whatever you want, just like we used to deal with the natives."

The key to Yan Changwu's success in attacking Southeast Asia was that he invested a lot of money in the fleet. Those indigenous people were brave, but they were in a situation where the Chinese could beat them but they could not beat the Chinese, and ultimately failed.

For example, the Acehnese of Sumatra have a strong will, a large number of people, and many years of war with the Chinese. The Chinese attacked land from the sea, attacked in the dry season, and stopped in the rainy season. Eventually they defeated the Aceh people, which is the canoe of the Aceh people. Opponents of the battleships of the Southeast Fleet!

"He can't fail, and he can't avoid fighting, because this is contrary to the tradition that our Southeast Fleet must fight when encountering the enemy, so he is very difficult to fight!" Hong Xiguan gratefully said: "He solved the biggest problem for us, now I took over his duties, but Hong Maofan still has the strength!"

"As a commander, you must consider the overall situation, and when you are a general, you can fight bravely." Hong Xiguan said with deep emotion: "The leader is right, the **** decides the head!"

Except for the five more severely damaged warships, Hong Xiguan led all warships to pursue Hong Maofan.

The battleship that was dispatched was in good condition after being repaired and replenished that night, but it took three full days and nights to catch up with the Hong Maofan fleet at about 10 o'clock in the morning on the fourth day.

This is the downwind of the Hong Maofan fleet and the upside of the Southeast Fleet.

Carrying out his tactics and gun battle with the Hong Maofan battleship, the first thing is to deal with those warships that are more damaged and show signs of decline.

The two sides chased, a chaotic battle, most of the Red Fans escaped smoothly, and the Southeast Fleet stopped chasing.

The remaining eight warships, including the Maas River, the Ford, the Town, the Chivalry, and the Saint Louis, were surrounded by the Southeast Fleet. Mao Fan looked desperate when he saw this scene.

Either they were damaged by the ship's hull, or the artillery was weak and blocked by the Southeast Fleet.

"Fire!" The Southeast Fleet launched an offensive. Officer Hong Xi launched an offensive with some of the experienced warships. He fought for one round, and then he was replaced by another group with more supplementary soldiers. The battleship stepped forward to try its hands, and the command was very orderly.

After another battle, and then replaced the third batch of warships, Hong Maofan was not sunk, but all the white flags were raised!

It is silly not to surrender. There are so many warships, strong people, and very weak. If you don't surrender, you are waiting to be killed.

It also depends on the good reputation of the Chinese ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They do not kill Hong Maofan prisoners, and there are many naturalized Hong Maofan in the Chinese fleet, just drop it!

So the official Hong Xi received a lot of credit as soon as he took office.

No such good things happened in the future pursuits. The remaining Orphans were of superb level, and if they slipped away, it would be like the Southeast Fleet led by Chen De before, slipping away when the situation is bad, and it is difficult to catch up.

Tromp was very willing. He discarded his scarred flagship "Maas River" and transferred the ships and supplies to other intact ships. Many other warships handled this way. The remaining personnel and firepower were sufficient. .

During the sailing period, the battleships exchanged fire, and it may not be possible to sink one after a long time.

In addition, the official Hong Xi was unwilling to take risks, and after a few days of chasing, only two red boats surrendered. The official Hong Xi ended the chase at the end of the Malacca Strait.

At this point, the battle between the Chinese and Hong Maofan came to an end.

However, the sporadic battle is far from over!
