An apology and compensation are necessary, otherwise, the Five Star Army has the right to seek justice by force.
That's what Li Sheng said, and he did the same.He called Hang He, the head of the Luzon Island garrison, and ordered him to take a look at the accident site to prove that there was a naval battle there, not man-made damage to the ship or damage to the ship due to natural weather.In short, there must be a proof.
Speaking of which, the Yang faction on Luzon Island did not have many soldiers stationed there.In addition to a military force of 2000 people in a garrison regiment, there is a public security team of three to 4000 people.It's just that the public security is more scattered, and it's okay to maintain law and order at ordinary times. Once a foreign war breaks out, the garrison still needs to move first.
After receiving the mission, Hang He set off with the fast boat left by the Five-Star Army and headed straight for a place not far from Polillo Island.It is hoped here that Li Sheng also telegraphed what happened to the higher-level department, Chixian City City Lord's Mansion, and requested that the Five-Star Army Navy can provide them with support if things change.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Chixian City, the deputy city lord in charge of military delivered the telegram to Yu Qian, and there was a sound of a slamming on the table.
Someone once commented that he was too modest, saying that he was loyal to the people of the Ming Dynasty, not to a certain emperor in the dynasty.It can be seen from this that he attaches great importance to the common people. It is because of this that he has more words with Yang Chendong, and after being robbed here by an unscrupulous method, he can concentrate on doing things.
Now that he heard that someone was actively provoking the power of the Five-Star Army, Na Keyi immediately asked his assistant to contact Kaohsiung, the deputy commander of the navy, and he wanted to meet with him to discuss matters.
Just over an hour later, the deputy commander of Kaohsiung came to the city lord's mansion on a bicycle. The two big men had a detailed discussion on the matter of Luzon Island, and then they unified their understanding and finally made a decision to take this Report this matter to Master Six.They all believed that this matter had touched Yang Chendong's bottom line, and they could get a faster and better solution if they reported it.
In the palace, Yang Chendong was walking with the eldest lady Hu Yan.
A woman with a body always likes to be sentimental, Yang Chendong walks with her whenever she has time, which not only relieves her mood, but also helps her to exercise her body, it really kills two birds with one stone.Suddenly hearing that Yu Qian and Kaohsiung came together, he intuitively told him that this must be a big deal.
"Dong Shuai, it's important. Go quickly. I'll talk to my second sister, and I'll ask you some good ways to prevent miscarriage." Hu Yan said very understandingly.
"Okay, walk carefully." Yang Chendong smiled and watched Hu Yan leave.But when he turned around, his expression had become much more serious. Needless to say, it was an important thing to be able to meet him as the city lord and the deputy commander of the navy.If Kaohsiung came with him, not Leng Song, the deputy commander of the army, it is likely to have something to do with maritime affairs.
Yang Chendong appeared very quickly, Yu Qian and Gao Xiong didn't even finish a cup of tea, so he came to the living room.Seeing that the two of them were about to get up, he sat down on the middle chair after making a gesture to ask for a seat, and said, "Tell me, did something unexpected happen?"
"The sixth young master is wise." Kaohsiung flattered him.
Yu Qian was much calmer, and he sent the city lord Li Sheng (governor) to
The telegram was sent to Yang Chendong and said, "King Wunan, City Lord Li sent a telegram, saying that a fishing boat in Songcheng (the Yang family's name for Luzon Island) was attacked. According to Wang Li, the first officer who fled back, , It was the Clippers of the newly established Great Philippine Kingdom."
Yang Chendong took the telegram, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head, "The telegram said that the five-star flag was hung on the fishing boat, does anyone dare to do it?"
"Yes, Master Six. This is what makes us angry. They ignore our military flag, which is clearly a provocation. It's just because we didn't have too many immigrants in our hands a while ago, and those islands are too distributed. Loose, we did not send troops to them when the New Second Army was established and North Korea provoked troubles. But this turned out to be the reason why they underestimated us. It is really deceiving. I think we should send troops to Songcheng immediately to declare Our sovereignty, when necessary, we can strengthen maritime patrols as a deterrent." As the deputy commander of the navy and the actual power holder, Kaohsiung's speech represents the meaning of the entire navy.
Listening to Kaohsiung's report, Yang Chendong's eyes gleamed brightly, "Is this what your navy means, or is it also what the City Lord's Mansion means?"
"The City Lord's Mansion still wants to wait for the latest telegram. Doesn't it mean that Hang He, the head of the Songcheng garrison regiment, has already gone to investigate?" Yu Qian expressed his sophisticated opinion.It can be seen that he wants to get the evidence first, which is also in line with the Han people's usual principle of dealing with affairs, which is to plan before acting.
"Investigation results? Hehe, is it really that important?" Yang Chendong smiled suddenly, which made Yu Qian and Gao Xiong a little confused. They didn't understand what Yang Chendong meant.
Without waiting for the two of them to figure it out, Yang Chendong said, "They all sank our ship, how long do we have to wait? I think we should order the team to assemble now, and give this daring Philippine country a serious look." .”
"Do it now? But we don't have enough evidence." Yu Qian was surprised when he heard that Yang Chendong was so bold that he decided to send troops.
"Evidence? Why do we need evidence? Don't you know what is unnecessary? Besides, it is a fact that our fishing boat was sunk, and it is the only possibility and ability to do this in that sea area." The only thing that matters is the Philippine army, so what do we need to wait for?" Yang Chendong said with a sneer.
In the later generations, the three words "Mo need not know how much" the development of the country has been restricted. Considering various reasons, some things have to be tolerated.Now that the Yang family's navy is so powerful, it's time to repay the enemy with their own way.
As the founder of the Yang family and the commander-in-chief of the Yang family's three armies, since Yang Chendong issued this order, the people below naturally had to obey.In addition to this matter, it is true that the Great Philippines provoked first, and it is reasonable to send a large army to give an appropriate counterattack.
Yu Qian and Kaohsiung quickly agreed to Yang Chendong's decision, but what they didn't know was that what Yang Chendong wanted this time was not just to teach the country a small lesson, but to destroy the country when he made the move. .There are already 60 people in Chixian City who have learned skills and read and write, and are ready to relocate. Moreover, under the war in Nanming, many Han people rushed to Lang Son's shelter every day, and entered Chixian at the diversion. city.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
It is conceivable that there will be more and more knowledgeable Han people in the future. Now that they have such confidence, it is time to take down the entire archipelago.The reason why he didn't do anything before was because he didn't have a good reason, but now that the other party took the initiative to provoke, how could such an opportunity be missed.
Yang Chendong is determined to clean up the Dafei Kingdom.Kaohsiung's navy is naturally cooperating with all their strength. After the three people discussed, this time they will dispatch all the forces of the first navy, that is, all the forces of the first navy, the second navy, and the third navy, to launch a fierce attack on the Dafei Kingdom in three different directions. , we must use unstoppable power to hurt the other party, let them know, and let the countries in the surrounding waters know what will happen if they offend the Five-Star Army.
"Order the Sixth Division of the New Second Army to strengthen patrols in the sea area. Once other forces try to intervene, they will be beaten back without hesitation. At the same time, the Fifth Division of the Sea stationed in North Korea can also be transferred back, leaving it to the local garrison Alright, what we have to do now is to do our best to win the battle in front of us." Yang Chendong said in a powerful voice.
This order is very similar to Yang Chendong's usual policy of doing things, either do not take action, and do everything possible to do it, destroy the country if it can, destroy the country if it can't be destroyed, they will be defeated if they can't be destroyed, until they have no strength to fight in a short time.
The order was issued, the war machine started, the navy quickly began to assemble, and all the commanders and fighters who visited their relatives returned to the various units to report.At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion is also making various preparations. Under the order of the overall planner, the newly developed 100mm mortar shells produced by the arsenal were quickly delivered to the hands of the Navy First Army for use. 60 Han people choose 30 people according to the way of voluntary registration, ready to enter various islands at any time.
The condition is that any Han Chinese who enter the archipelago can take the lead in arranging jobs, such as working in the local government. Those who meet the conditions can enter the public security, hospitals, schools, industrial and commercial bureaus, government agencies, taxation and other departments, and they can receive salaries in the future.
Not only the 30 Han people have to prepare for relocation, but other provinces also need to prepare for the registration of the immigrant population. Each province must prepare at least 20 people, and at the same time, it must also make preparations to accept a certain number of indigenous people in the archipelago.This kind of cross-exchange population can often solve the local people's group behavior to the greatest extent, so that they can forget who they were before faster, and can better join the big family of Han people.
On the sea, under the guidance of Ma Li, the head of Hang He finally found the broken board that was bombarded by artillery fire.From the above, it can be clearly seen that the traces of the artillery were hit. With this piece of evidence, the ship quickly returned and headed straight for the port of Luzon.
But just as the ship turned around, dozens of large Philippine ships suddenly appeared around the sea area, and they were the large Philippine ships led by Duterte.He had long expected that the Five-Star Army would come to this sea area to search and inspect, so he had been waiting here.At first, he wanted to wait to get closer, but seeing that the prey was about to leave, he finally couldn't hide it, so he jumped out directly, and wanted to keep Hang and the others here.
"Is it a Dafei ship?" Hang He saw the enemy ships appearing around, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.This kind of siege exposed their ambitions.It's a pity that he was not on the previous fishing boat. He was driving the third-class fishing boat that the navy had left in Songcheng.
Not to mention the constant speed of the warship, there is also a powerful 100mm mortar on board, which can hit targets more than ten miles away on the opposite side. At that time, it could be called top artillery fire.
"Order the ship to speed up and leave, order the artillery to add more shells, adjust the mark to the fullest, and blow up any ship that dares to stand in front of us." Hang He said loudly.His order also excited the crew and soldiers, shouting to make various preparations.
Although surrounded, the five-star ship did not mean to be caught without a fight, but accelerated its speed, which greatly exceeded Duter's expectations.He originally thought that the other party would take the initiative to stop and reason with himself. Don't all Han people do this?At that time, he can kill all the people on the ship and occupy the ship at a very close distance.He can see that this ship is not simple. Once it is owned by it, after going back to study it, it should have a role in promoting the development of their sea ship.
Hang He was originally a company commander of Leng Feng's navy. At first, City Lord Li Sheng took a fancy to him and wanted to keep him, so he retired from Leng Fengzhong and became the commander of the garrison regiment.Speaking of which, the official has been promoted several levels, but he still misses the time when he was a cold front, and he was not majestic wherever he went.
Such a person is warlike in his bones after years of training, and it is even more impossible to capture him without a fight.So when he ordered to rush out and bombard the ships blocking the way, he really caught the Philippine naval divisions by surprise.
The combat strength of the garrison regiment is very ordinary, and most of them are composed of men of different races who have only been trained but not actually engaged in combat. It may be okay to use them to suppress bandits, but they are almost not ready for such a big battle.Fortunately, this time Hang He brought out the elite of the regiment, including a few members of Leng Feng, so it was no problem for them to control the mortar.After adjusting the direction of the cannon and locking the target, a cannon shot hit the big Philippine ship directly opposite to block the way.
One of the advantages of the mortar is that it is more accurate to lock the target. In addition, the speed of loading the artillery is extremely fast. Before the opponent is ready, the sound of the artillery sounds and hits with one hit. The powerful explosive force and power are almost flattened. The opponent's sea ship was shot, and the main personnel on the ship were killed and injured, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness and power, so they could not pose any threat.
It was an instant hit.The speeding up Tier [-] warship rushed out of the encirclement before the Great Philippine Marine Division could respond, and Duterte roared dissatisfiedly behind him, "Hurry up, catch up, we must eliminate He dared to be an enemy of our Great Philippine Marine Division, he will definitely die."
The clamorous Duterte followed with dozens of other large Philippine sea-going ships, and the artillery fire rang out, setting off huge waves one after another on the originally calm sea.
It's just that in front of the fast third-level sea ship, none of the shells can lock the target and hit the third-level naval battle.After Hang He glanced back, his face showed contempt, but his expression was extremely serious.
The current situation is that he escaped by chance for a while, but in the end he is still the one being chased, and even if he is not careful, he may be overtaken by the other party.
It makes every day not work, and makes the earth and the earth not respond. "Accelerate forward and move closer to Luzon port."
Thinking that the new four-door mortar had been installed at the Luzon port, Hang He's heart calmed down a lot. Judging from the current situation, he could only find a way to return to the port first, and then defended according to the danger.
Chasing and fleeing, this scene unfolded at sea.Under the full force of the third-tier warship flying the five-star flag, the distance between the two sides gradually widened.Hang He's luck was good, until he was out of the attack range of the opponent's sea ship artillery, he was still hit by a bullet, and he knew that he was temporarily safe.But then he began to worry about the Luzon port again.
Still the same sentence, except for the four mortars arranged in the port of Luzon, there are no defensive measures. Can the Songcheng garrison, which is mediocre in combat strength, stop these two thousand enemies?Once it is washed to the coast by the enemy, what kind of damage and impact will it bring?
But where can we go if we don't retreat to the port of Luzon?This third-tier naval battle ship uses coal energy. Considering that the mission that came out this time is also equipped with raw materials at almost the same distance, if it cannot be rushed back normally, it may face the dilemma of no energy at any time.Although this kind of thing was considered when developing this third-level naval battle, and the boat can be rowed manually as a last resort, but at that speed, wouldn't the enemy be overtaken by the enemy soon?
"Speed back, and then quickly gather the soldiers, and ask for help from the superior while holding the port." In the end, Hang He still made the decision to return to the port quickly. Terrain to fight back.
After chasing and escaping, the distance between the two sides continued to widen, but the enemies behind were obviously enraged, and they bit Hang He tightly and did not intend to give up.Even judging from the direction the opponent is going, it has been concluded that the location they may be going to is Luzon Port. Considering that the war has already started, there is no need to wait any longer. Duter can't help showing his fists. Rush to Luzon Port and occupy the entire Song City.
Before coming here, Duterte had already read the detailed information about Songcheng, and knew that the Five-Star Army only stationed a defense regiment here, with 2000 people equal to him.And the combat power is far inferior to his own.The opponents are all new recruits. At least there are many people in my team who have been pirates nearby and have seen life and death. They were all bought by Abu Bakr with a lot of money and came to serve. In other words, he should not be afraid of the other party.
More importantly, Duter also knew that most of the defense regiments in Song City used cold weapons such as knives, guns, and swords.And there are two hundred firearms in his team, in addition to fifty flintlock guns, which the king spent a lot of money to buy from Western merchant ships, this is also his advantage, make good use of it , There is no problem in occupying the entire Luzon Island.At that time, he will become the hero of the entire Philippine country.
It can only be said that it is short-sighted. The ignorant Duterte does not know how powerful the Five-Star Army is. He did not live in this sea area before, and he thought that the Five-Star Army was just some natives on the mainland he had seen. A few shots, a few shots, and the opponent will really surrender.
