Chapter 97 Dragon Plan No. 16: Typhoon Season (Part 2)

 Later generations, Yuen Long and Fanling have now become two huge military camps.

Yuen Long Camp was led by former Guangdong General Li Xingyuan, who was committing his meritorious service due to his involvement in the corruption case. He was under his command of three thousand Green Camp soldiers, all of which were soldier-sized clothes, including one thousand bullet rope spearmen, two thousand spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers.

There are also 20,000 newly recruited soldiers from the Yongzi Camp.

Opposite Yuen Long, the Futian Free Trade Zone in the later generations was the camp of Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He had three thousand governors' camps, plus five thousand recruits selected from the recently recruited 50,000 Yongzi camps.

The commander near Fanling is the governor of Guangxi E Bao. In addition to the Green Camp soldiers, mainly Guangxi wolf soldiers who followed him here, there were also 20,000 new soldiers.

The commander of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi was General Mei Haiquan, and the deputy general was Yiertai. In the original history, when the Truqin people arrived on Hong Kong Island, Yiertai falsely accused Mei Haiquan of colluding with Guangxi Tiandihui to rebel, and as a result, Mei Haiquan's family was beheaded at Caishikou, Beijing.

However, with the entry of Truchen, in order not to cause trouble, the old man Shiquan suppressed Iltai's letter of complaint.

However, he could only lead the three thousand wolf soldiers with a guilty attitude.

Opposite Fanling, the Luohu area of ​​Shenzhou in later generations was the camp of Guangzhou General Yongwei. He had three thousand Eight Banners under his command. Five hundred cavalry were annihilated by Truqin Cavalry in Nanhai County the previous time. In the past six months, it has been replenished. They are also one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry.

In addition, there are five thousand carefully selected recruits.

These thousand cavalry are naturally the Eight Banners of Manchuria, while the two thousand infantry are the Han army flags.

As the military supervisor, Futian and Luohu Daying were the places where they were responsible for the formation, they were also the supply of grain and grass for Yuen Long and Fanling Daying.

At this time, two floating bridges had been built on the Shenzhen River between the two camps to facilitate personnel exchanges.

After a winter drought, the water of the Shenzhen River was generally less than two meters long. The Qing army commanders obviously knew the power of the Truqin naval army, but they obviously could not reach the Shenzhen River.

The news of the naval battle will obviously not be transmitted to the land soon, especially the naval battle far away in South Australia. According to the conspiracy between the Qing court and other countries, they believed that the naval battle near Hong Kong Island lasted for at least three days. Therefore, when the war between the two sides was in full swing, the Europeans would attack the diagonally and kill them again to achieve miraculous effects.

But both the Qing and Europeans obviously underestimated the strength of the Truechin Navy.

Therefore, when the navy that the Qing army gathered with the power of the whole country was defeated by Truqin, the sailors or generals who took the opportunity to escape would not immediately dock and report to Li Shiyao or Yongwei. They were navy soldiers and would only use their ships to run desperately towards Huizhou and Chaozhou.

So, when night fell and all the naval battles were over, the Qing Army Land Division camp on both sides of the Shenzhen River still knew nothing.

Even so, according to the previous plan, no matter what the battle situation is, the navy will send people ashore to report the battle situation every day. Although the sound of cannons on the distant sea has stopped, they still want to know what the battle situation is.

They also knew that with the sharpness of the Truqin firearm, it was very difficult to gain advantage on land. Moreover, although there were four camps in front of them, tens of thousands of people were all chaotic crowds that gathered in a hurry. The ones who were truly combative were the more than 10,000 Green Camp soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers.

If the naval battle is suddenly defeated, it will definitely have a huge impact on the land army.

This is also the reason why they did not start the attack immediately although they stationed in the above four places early in the morning - they need to determine their starting time based on the course of the naval war.

If the battle is favorable or a stalemate is in a state of affairs, they will launch an attack immediately.

If they are defeated soon, they will retreat to the mainland because they know that even if they take down Kowloon Castle without hesitation, they will be helpless in Hong Kong Island, which is separated by a sea.

So, two senior officials were in charge, and the Qing army with tens of thousands of troops was rarely stationed on the spot.

Of course, they also have spies in the Truchens, and they will get real news from the spies.

Suha winds along the mountains behind Kowloon Village, and soon arrived not far from Fanling.

Before, when he was patrolling at the foot of Lion Mountain, he immediately noticed someone following him, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"This must be what Nian Wanger's servant did, but why did he send someone to follow him? Are you afraid that I will go to Lion Mountain to investigate? It's strange that what strongholds are arranged there so that my intelligence agencies can't hear it?"

"Is it an artillery position? However, starting from Lion Mountain, whether to Yuen Long or Fanling, the distance is very far. It is impossible for them to move the heavy cannons to the mountain. Even if they move it up, they can only barely hit the edge of the two places, which will not work at all."

"Is it because when the Qing army comes to attack, this artillery position echoes the Jiulong City Wallet? No, it is too close to Jiulong City Wallet, which can easily hurt one's own people and will not play a big role"

"What's more, it is appropriate to use nearby commanding heights to set up a turret, so why should it be kept so confidential?"

Looking around, he suddenly learned a bird's cry, and then there was a rustling sound from the nearby woods, and then a secret whistle from the Intelligence Bureau appeared.

In Truchen's intelligence system, if it is in wartime, some intelligence personnel overlap with the military's scouts. If in peacetime, this person is under the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Bureau, but in wartime, it is under the dual jurisdiction of the Intelligence Bureau and the Army.

"Head"

The man saw that it was Suha, and he called out softly.

Suha nodded, "Is there any movement?"

"Everything is normal, the Qing army in Fanling did not find us"

"Very good, keep alert"

After saying that, he left and headed straight to the direction of the Qing army camp in Fanling!

In the evening, he returned from the same route. This time, he did not summon the spy, but walked straight to Jiulong City Village. When he approached the foot of Lion Mountain, he suddenly saw a figure appearing on the top of the mountain.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After looking around, he took out his telescope when he was sure there was no one.

After a while, a strange smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The mountain was indeed an artillery position. There was a gap where he was standing at this time. The position was obviously made of concrete, and there were two short walls of straw bags to slow down the impact of shells.

"Inexplicable"

He couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, "What can I hide from a mere fort? Is it still keeping the intelligence personnel confidential?"

After walking for a while, he stopped again.

"Why don't I know that the arsenal has launched a very long range of artillery?"

Then he shook his head again, "The distance between Fanling and Yuen Long is more than tens of miles away. It is impossible to hit anywhere. It is probably Timur is making a fool of himself."

Shortly after returning to Hong Kong Island, Timur summoned him soon.

“Where did you go in the afternoon?”

"Report to Your Highness, the war is coming soon. I'll go out to check the situation of our army's secret whistle to see if these guys are lazy"

"What else?"

"The Ministry of Justice came to the Qin Qing Army Camp in Fanling to check it out"

"Oh?"

"The Qing army is still the same as before, only built a circle of Muzhai around the camp, and there are guard towers on all four corners. The camp is also in chaos and does not look solemn. Look at this situation, although our army has few people, it can still be defeated in one go"

"Very good", a smile appeared on Timur's face, "The war on the sea is over"

"Our army will definitely win a great victory"

"That's nature, the battle in the east sea..."

As he was talking, a sudden thunder sounded outside, and then a strong wind blew, pushing the open windows into a crackling sound.

Timur stood up, walked out of the door and looked at Tianshan, muttering to himself: "The typhoon is coming, it's going to rain"

Before he finished speaking, raindrops as big as beans fell over the sky. Their loud noises made a loud noise when they fell to the ground and stirred up a lot of dust.

Timur returned to the house and continued, "The Qing army's own blessing ship, the sand ship was open all the way. There were about a hundred blessing ships, and thousands of sand ships came overwhelmingly. As a result, the blessing ship was wiped out in the battle."

"The sand boat also went seven or eight out of ten times. Its commander, Su Chang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Huang Shijian, the governor of Fujian Navy, Huang Zhenggang, the governor of Zhejiang Navy, Xu De, the deputy general of Taiwan Navy, and Cheng Wan, the guerrilla warfare of Chaozhou Navy, either died in battle or was captured"

"Ah?!"

"Why are the captain surprised?"

"Ahem, Your Highness, the ministry only knows that our country's navy dominates the world, but he doesn't know that it is so powerful that he defeated the navy that had been thriving in one day!"

"Haha, this is nothing. The Qing people obviously contacted European countries early in the morning and promised them a lot of benefits. They were Ming Road, and they all came from the Philippines, including British, Spanish, and Dutch."

"I have also pieced together a powerful fleet. There are more than ten battleships alone and more than ten armed merchant ships. I want to sneak attack our army through the Philippine-Nan'ao Automobile-Pearl River Estuary route"

"Of course I saw through it, I waited in South Australia early, and also won a great victory, completely wiped out the British and the main force of the North American Navy. I have sent someone to notify the French. I believe they will take this opportunity to make some waves on the east coast of North America."

Suha also laughed happily, "The barbarians in Western Europe also want to be a chariot with a mantis arm?"

He also said: "Your Highness, it is estimated that the news of the naval battle will soon reach the Qing people. They consumed no money and piled up 50,000 troops on both sides of the Shenzhen River. They will definitely not give up because of the naval battle. They will probably be dispatched in these days."

"The Ministry of Justice intends not to live in Hong Kong Island tonight, but to lead the overall situation in Kowloon City Walled City to support the mainland division at any time"

"Very good", Timur stood up, "I am very moved by the captain's heart to serve the country with all his heart. I will follow you, so be sure to pay attention to safety"

Suha rushed to Kowloon City in the rain.

In the middle of the night, he went out in the rain.

When he walked to the mountain between Lion Mountain and Fanling, he suddenly remembered something and learned to scream birds. It was probably because of the wind and rain that someone came out after a while.

The person who came was similar in figure to him, but was much thinner, and his whole body was wrapped in a raincoat. When he walked down the mountain, he lowered his head, making people unable to see each other.

He slowly walked to Suha, then pushed the brim of his hat upwards. At this moment, a flash of lightning appeared, and then another deafening thunder was heard, and then the man's face appeared in an instant.

"You..."
