Chapter 38 Dog Fighting Action
The next morning, all the ship commanders of the Punishment Fleet gathered in the Grand Conference Hall again to accept the next stage of combat mission.
"Standing at attention!" The duty officer shouted loudly, and all the police officers stood upright and saluted Mr. Zhao who was strode in.
Wang Rulong, who was following Zhao Hao, was wearing a pair of black and dark circles. He knew at a glance that he had been in a sleep for another night. There was no way. Who made Junzhong Omura surrender too quickly? The plan he had just made was useless.
He had to stay up all night with his staff, and in the morning he risked waking up the young master Chunmeng and gave the plan to Zhao Hao for a look, which did not delay the established combat meeting.
"Go a little rest!" Zhao Hao did not sit directly by the window this time, but stood on the podium and said to the generals: "A lot of people were there yesterday. Did you see how evil the Japanese were?"
"Yes, I pretended to be too similar. If I didn't do it well, I'll let them fool me." The police officers who were scrambling here last night said deeply: "The conscience is very bad."
"Although the people of the Li Dynasty are ghosts, they dare not betray us. At most, they just try to change their ways to get greedy. But these Japanese people are different. They are like wolves. If they don't do it well, let them take a bite." Ma Yinglong concluded.
"Is the difference between dogs and wolves? That's about it." Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile, and then said to the generals seriously: "But we have to deal with the Japanese. The economic take-off of the Ming Dynasty requires enough precious metals to support it, otherwise there will be severe deflation, which will lead to a large number of farmers going bankrupt..."
He suddenly realized that these warriors were afraid that they could not understand the logic here, so he said bluntly: "In short, the Ming Dynasty lacks gold, silver and copper, and it is just in need of Japan's precious metals to supplement it. In addition, since this country has been lucky enough to resist the two attacks of the Mongol Yuan, it has begun to float away, and I don't know what its surname is. So we still need to tame them again and make them belong to the Ming Dynasty system, otherwise it will always be a big trouble!"
"Yes!" The generals responded with a loud bang.
"So everyone, we will carry out the next stage of the battle next, I will name it 'Dog Beat Operation'." After saying that, he gave up the podium and said, "Please commander Wang release the specific tasks!"
"Yes!" Wang Rulong walked up to the stage with his legs, spread the cowhide folder in his hand and said:
"According to the instructions of the young master, the main goal of this stage of action is to obtain absolute sea control over Kyushu Island, establish an absolute deterrence against the various forces in Kyushu, and lay a solid foundation for the final stage of the decisive battle plan!"
"The ships used in this dog fight are all punishment fleets except for ships 201,217,218,219,220,411,412,413,414,415, and five supply ships."
"Why?" Haierdi couldn't help but blurt out. The captains who were excluded also agreed.
Wang Rulong glanced at them coldly, and Haierdi and others immediately did not dare to speak.
This is why Zhao Hao could only let Wang Rulong serve as the Chief of Staff first. If someone else had changed to formulate a combat plan, it would probably be a meeting to tear the Boyi.
Then Wang Rulong ordered himself: "The remaining fleet is divided into two, and the first squadron is led by me to sweep south to all ports in Nankyushu, destroy the Shimazu family's Kozu naval army and other water forces, and force Seed Island to surrender to the young master."
"The Second Squadron was led by Member Ma to fight northward. First, all ships in Sasebo Harbor were eliminated, and then continued to go north to Hiradoura to launch a punishment war against the Matsuura family... According to the information provided by the Tang people, the Matsuura water army is currently seriously injured, but the main force of the Iki Navy Army still exists. There is also the Matsuma water army of the Sora family. Although they have been seeking peace, they must also be eliminated resolutely."
His majestic eyes swept over the generals and said, "In short, after this 'dog-beating operation', except for the water forces of the Maori family and the Otomo family, the entire Kyushu Island must be wiped out, and the coastal forces should be subdued as much as possible to force them to accept our protection."
After a pause, Wang Rulong grinned and said, "Of course, protection fees are indispensable!"
"Yes!" The generals responded with a loud bang, and they were like clients who were going to visit the kiln, their eyes shining green.
Then Wang Rulong grouped the two squadrons and issued specific combat tasks and limited time. He asked Ma Rulong on the side and said, "What do you want to add to the Commissioner Ma?"
"According to the intelligence, the strength of the naval forces of each company on Kyushu Island is the same. As long as we fully utilize our firepower advantages, we can destroy their naval forces with extremely small casualties, so that all forces will regard the sea as a fear of their way!" Ma Rulong reminded in a deep voice:
"But remember not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly! To make an inappropriate example, the Florida Flying and the powerful ships and cannons were also very advantageous to the Ming Dynasty. However, our army still relied on the right time, place and people. In the naval battle in Tuen Mun, the Sicao Bay Flying Sea Fleet, which made them dare not make the Ming Dynasty's idea. It can be seen that the advantage of weapons is not the only factor that determines the outcome!"
"We only have fifty ships and more than three thousand people, and this time we divided the troops into three groups. Each fleet has only a dozen ships, and a thousand people have made the troops even weaker. Those Japanese daimyos have fought for several lifetimes, and they are as cunning and cruel as wolves. As long as we reveal our flaws, they will definitely bite them hard! We can't afford to lose, and there is no need to lose troops."
As he said that, he ordered all the police officers in a deep voice: "So you must keep three strings tight in your mind, and do not land on the battlefield without authorization. Second, you must always keep a safe distance from the enemy ships, and third, you must avoid night battles and disadvantaged combat. If these three situations occur, you must immediately remind your partners! If necessary, you can use the emergency veto power granted to you by the young master!"
"Yes!" The police chiefs raised their heads and responded.
The so-called "emergency veto power" is the most important power granted by Zhao Hao to the police chief, and it is also the confidence that they can compete with the military chief.
Of course, the conditions for using this authority are very harsh. It must be met at the same time. First, it is at a critical moment when wartime or endangeres life and death. Second, the military chief obviously violates the orders of superiors or has acted rebellious. Third, it is indeed impossible to report to superiors in a timely manner.
Without any condition, this authority cannot be used. And after using the "emergency veto power", it must be strictly reviewed by the security area to prevent this power from being abused, causing the police chief to overtake the military chief and transform into a cancer like the military censor.
"Did you hear it? You must respect your partner. If anyone forces someone to use a trick, I can't spare you!" Wang Rulong said with a beard and glared at the military chiefs.
"Yes!" The captains and the captains responded in unison.
"Is there any other problem?" Wang Rulong's eyes swept across everyone like a scraper, and no one dared to say anything. Even the people who did not receive the mission did not dare to talk too much, for fear of being defeated.
"Damn Haier, do you know what you are going to do?" Wang Rulong glared at the unlucky Haier.
"No, I don't know, please give me instructions!" Haierdi, who could not escape being criticized without saying anything, said with a sad face.
"You have more important tasks." Wang Rulong said in a deep voice: "You will form the third squadron and be responsible for bringing the three ships of the Flang Jimen back to the base. This is related to the future of our coast guard, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!" Haierdi and others hurriedly accepted the order in a deep voice.
"You will serve as the commander of this squadron, and Meilin will serve as the police commissioner." Wang Rulong then ordered: "You have three tasks: one, escort Western ships, spoils and rewards from the Omura family back to Chengshan Port. Two, when passing by Jiangchuan City, carefully carry out a login search to see if you can find the Yujiu family silver cellar mentioned by the Tang people. Three, after completing the escort mission, immediately return with ammunition. Ten days later, on the first day of October, join forces with the Second Squadron at Sasebo Bay, and then go south to Seed Island to join forces with me!"
"Abide by the order!" The generals all followed the two chief officials to salute Mr. Zhao: "Swear to repay the death!"
Zhao Hao also returned with a serious expression: "I wish you a triumphant success!"
~~
After the order was issued, the ships began to act separately.
On that day, the First and Second Squadron completed its departure preparations...it mainly replaced fresh fresh water and supplemented with fresh vegetables and poultry eggs. The fleet was not large, and Omura's family could still deal with it with it with all their efforts.
Unfortunately, the Dacun family did not provide any fresh meat, which made the quarantine officer very angry and thought that Xiao Fang Zhengxing was perfunctory. Xiao Fang Zhengxing screamed and said that he was serving the Tianjun completely in the attitude of worshiping the gods. How could he dare to perfunctory?
"Then why there is no meat? Even if there is no beef and mutton, you have to have a few pigs?" The quarantine officer said angrily. In his opinion, the army without fat pigs was absolutely dishonest.
Xiao Fang hurriedly explained that there was not a single pig in Japan, only wild boars and no domestic sheep. The cattle were used to make leather armor except for plowing the land. Only the untouchables responsible for killing cattle and making leather will eat that kind of dirty thing. How dare he send the four-legged animal corpse to the Tianjun?
The translation of the Tang people also explained from the side that the Japanese respect for Buddhism reached a pervert. Hundreds of years ago the Emperor issued a "meat ban" order, claiming that according to Buddhism, what to eat will change, and eating meat will lead to the animal realm, so no one is allowed to eat the meat of four-legged animals.
Later, due to the prevalence of Shintoism, it was believed that eating corpses was basically completely prohibited. Even in the Warring States Period, people could not eat anymore, and the daimyos turned a blind eye to their prey, but raising carnivores would never happen in Japan.
The quarconian was helpless and had to let Xiao Fang send all the chickens, regardless of the male or female, and give up the soldiers.
Oh by the way, among the rewards Xiao Fangxing sent, there was also a group of young Japanese women. This made the coast guards who had not known the taste of meat for several months very moved. Unfortunately, the military discipline was strict, so the police officers could not visit prostitutes on the boat, and they could only refuse...
