Chapter 54: Preface to Li Huamei's Action

As soon as the two red-haired ghosts left, Ma Xianglan quickly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Zhao Hao's hands. She wiped the back of her hand several times, and then threw the handkerchief into the sea to feed the fish... The pure natural silk handkerchief was soaked in the sea water and it was really edible.

Ma Yinglong also asked in a low voice from the side: "Young Master, aren't you very disgusted with the Laoshizi Jizhi's alchemy?"

"I am not only disgusted with the One God's teachings." Mr. Zhao smiled faintly and looked at the sky at 45 degrees and said: "Only science is the unchanging belief of this young master in his life."

"Then why do you want to give the Chezhi Dan Sect to protect the Far East?" Wang Rulong asked.

"Because we are not as strong as humans, we are not opponents of the Malacca fleet now, nor are we the Spanish fleet. But if we really want to make money, we have to trade with the Portuguese and the Spanish." He looked at the two of them earnestly and said, "Before we can drive Portugal and Spain out of Asia with the fleet, we have to silence with the church and let them be used as lubricants between us and the red-haired ghosts."

"Lutrient?" The two of them didn't quite understand the word.

"It was originally awkward relationship between the two parties and was prone to friction. If they were lubricated, they would be smooth and smooth." Mr. Zhao explained, and then ordered the two seriously: "But remember, be vigilant and don't let others brainwash you!"

"Yes!" The two of them responded quickly. This was obviously Ma Yinglong's business scope. He quickly asked for instructions: "Is it prohibited to preach in the police force?"

"Yes, all police officers and police officers cannot believe it, let alone spread it. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be punished!" Zhao Hao said without any discussion: "If a missionary questiones you in the future, ask them, is the police force listening to the master or the young master? If they dare to talk nonsense, just blow it out."

"Yes!" The soldiers like clear instructions the most, and the police officers are no exception.

"But it can't be so simple and crude elsewhere, otherwise no matter how stupid they are, they can see that I'm playing with them." Zhao Hao touched his chin and thought, "It's okay in the country. Do you say I'm the son of a small county magistrate, who can I protect and who can listen to me?"

"Haha..." Erlong only dared to laugh, but did not dare to agree.

"The only troublesome thing now is Danluo Island. If they want to go to preach, I won't be able to stop me." Zhao Hao said and said with a smile: "But fortunately, Fatty Tang is there, so this matter will make him worry. Anyway, after a few years, they will all rush back to Europe when our new warship is built!"

Secretary Ma quickly remembered this matter and turned around and reminded the young master to tell Tang Youde, otherwise he would definitely forget it.

"It's almost like this..." Mr. Zhao thought about it and felt that he could only do this, so he sorted out his clothes and said, "Let's go, go for a meeting!"

~~

"stand up!"

At the order of the on-duty official, the police officers in the conference room stood up together.

"Go a little rest." Mr. Zhao, accompanied by Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong, walked quickly to the front of the stage.

There was a loud noise and everyone was resting.

"I announced that the strategic purpose of the second phase of this punishment operation has been achieved, and the victory of the 'Dog Beat Operation' has ended!" After Mr. Zhao took the lead in applauding, and the police officers quickly applauded.

When the applause subsided, Zhao Hao continued to say in a deep voice: "Next, we will carry out the final stage of the battle. The strategic goal is very simple - to eliminate the main force of the Maori Navy and the Murakami Navy, and completely control the Guanmen Strait!"

As he said that, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "I will name this battle 'Operation Li Huamei'!"

"Yes!" the police officers responded in a loud voice, obviously very much beloved by the young master's behavior of naming the combat operations with the girl's name.

Sister Ma felt a little panicked, wondering where Li Huamei’s good sister came from?

The young master is indeed the seed of the old Zhao family, so it is hard to guard against...

Alas, I was looking forward to growing up when I didn’t grow up. It seems that it’s not good if I grow up.

~~

Then Ma Yinglong did an intelligence summary.

"Don't be careless because of the previous victory. The enemy we face this time will be unprecedentedly powerful. Just talking about the strength, the Maori Navy can dispatch more than 400 warships. Among the Murakami Navy, there are more than 300 Noida families, more than 200 island families, and more than 200 island families. Therefore, our enemies can gather up to more than 1,000 warships and more than 20,000 naval troops!"

The police officers couldn't help but look serious. Their firepower was not enough to resist so many enemy ships at the same time, and they would definitely encounter a platoon battle!

"Besides, the Guanmen Strait is also very unfriendly to us." Ma Yinglong pointed to the map on the wall and said: "It is located between Shiguan in Honshu and Monshi Port in Kyushu. It is the western gateway of the Seto Inland Sea and the key to the Japanese sea route. Its central waterway is 15-20 meters deep, and the narrowest water area is only about 600 meters wide. Moreover, according to the Tang Dynasty, the currents in Guanmen Strait are still very fast and are not suitable for our battle line tactics..."

The officers were taking notes while listening, and the relaxed expression on their faces disappeared completely. Such a narrow "V" strait was too unfriendly to their bulky sailing ships. Not to mention fighting, they were sweating even when sailing.

"In addition, the combat level of the Mishima Navy is also the best in Japan. They are especially good at the two tactics of "roasting fire arrows" and "butterfly formation". "Ma Yinglong said, and asked someone to bring a pottery jar the size of a watermelon and tied with a long hemp rope to explain to everyone: "Actually, this thing is the 'iron cone' that we used against Japanese pirates when we were in the Qi family army. I didn't expect that the little Japanese would learn it back."

In fact, the Japanese did not learn from the Qi family army, but were passed down to Japan during the Song Dynasty. The so-called "baking" is actually a Japanese-style pot of pottery, which the Japanese used to replace the porcelain thorns that should have been specially made. The baking contains gunpowder and various flammable materials. After igniting the fuse, it swung it and threw it out. Those with great force can throw it out fifty meters away.

Most of the police officers here are from the Qi family army, so they are naturally familiar with it. They know that this thing is different from the Thunderbolt Rockets that specialize in arson. Its main function is to use fragments and explosions to kill, on the contrary, the combustion effect is very little. However, the Dafu ship is not made of oak, and it can still burn if it eats dozens or hundreds of times.

"The "Butterfly Array" is a tactic that the Murakami Navy is good at - they do not have bulky Anzai ships, and they don't even have many passes. They mainly rely on the brisk Xiaozai. With their superior maneuverability than the enemy, they scattered close to the enemy's army like butterflies, and then suddenly surrounded them, besieging an enemy ship with several or even a dozen ships, and supplemented with the above-mentioned baked fire arrows, which is enough to cause a devastating blow to the enemy ships."

Ma Yinglong said in a deep voice: "These two are the magic weapons that the Murakami navy relies on to dominate the Seto Sea. I think we will taste this time."

After the intelligence summary is completed, Wang Rulong has arranged a specific combat plan.

"In this battle, we should concentrate our troops to prevent the enemy from gathering forces, actively seek opportunities to annihilate the enemy, attack them separately, and defeat them one by one!" He still said as concisely as ever, and every word was like a knife: "So the young master has ordered Otomo Sorin to spread the news that he was about to escort Ouchi Hirohiro back to the defense chief. I believe the Maori Navy will not remain indifferent..."

~~

Ten days later, Zhou Fangguo Yoshikishiro County Akihirasu.

There is a lookout tower every few miles by the sea. There are barracks below the watchtower, and each battalion has 500-foot guards to garrison. Once the enemy is discovered, the lookout tower will immediately release the wolf smoke, and the nearby barracks will also come to rescue and join forces to prevent the enemy from landing.

This is the hinterland of the Maori family, but it is across the sea from the territory of the Daouite family. The Maori family naturally needs to guard the troops to prevent the attack of the Fenghou navy.

There is also a water village in Akihoura, which is hosted by the elite Maori naval army, the Yayoshima naval army of the Shirai family.

In fact, the Yayoshima navy was originally patrolling the Kwai Strait to protect the supply line and retreat route of the Maori Kyushu crusade. However, seven days ago, the lord Kohayakawa Takake, who was on the front line of Tachibana, sent a secret order saying that Ototo Sorin wanted to send a naval force to escort Ouchi Hirohiro back to Zhoufang. He ordered the Yayoshima navy to return to Akihoura quickly and must prevent Ouchi Hirohiro from landing.

As soon as he received the secret order, Kenyin, the leader of the Shirai family, was shocked. He was actually a retainer of the Da Nei, but later he followed Tao Qingxian to defeat him and killed Yoshitaka Ouchi. Therefore, if Hirohiro Ouchi came back, the first person he could not forgive would be the Shirai family.

He quickly mobilized all the warships and returned to Akihoura to wait for battle. After waiting for three days, Kenyin was discussing with his retainers whether Ouchi Qiehiro did not dare to come, or was he directly destroyed by the Ming fleet in Oita Bay?

At this moment, a warrior suddenly ran in and reported that the wolf smoke was rising!

"Nani?" Hyun-yin, who was wantonly defaming Huihong, suddenly stood up: "Which section of wolf smoke?"

"It's ours!"

"Baga!" Xianyin rushed to the bow of the boat, put on a turret in his hand and looked towards the sea. Sure enough, he saw dozens of dense passes slowly sailing from the direction of Jiuzhou.

"Go out of the camp to meet the enemy!"

Amid the rumbling sound of Taigong, the navy soldiers who were on standby on the boat quickly took their place, shouted horns and paddled out of the water camp at the fastest speed.

When Xianyin's Anzhai ship slowly took its seat, the closed ships had already sailed within two miles.

"Huh?" Xianyin, who was about to order a raid, was suddenly stunned. He found that dozens of Chinese sailboats were followed by those closed ships!

Just now, the distance was far away, and the sailboats did not raise sails, so Xianyin did not notice it. At this time, the Chinese sailboats raised their sails with obvious characteristics, which was naturally clear at a glance.

"Master, this is probably the legendary Ming Dynasty fleet!" Xianyin's retainer said in a lost voice: "Otomo Solin, the old fox, actually numbs us with the news of the holiday!"

Lao Wang, who was far away in Oita, sneezed, no, it’s not me, I don’t have it!

Now that all this is useless, if you turn around and withdraw, wouldn’t you become a laughing stock? Let your dear lord Kobayakawa?

Besides, Xianyin, who has the Japanese ancestral inheritance, doesn’t believe that the Ming Dynasty fleet is really as evil as the legendary one.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the little sword, pointed it forward viciously and said, "Give it to the rabbit!"
