Entering Zhifu Island
Chapter 1078 Entering Zhifu Island
In fact, Zheng Laoqi was not without doubts in his heart, he had never seen such a well-dressed Jinyiwei in the army before.Moreover, many of these grey-clothed soldiers cut their hair very short, without even a bun on their heads, making it completely impossible for people to understand the number.It's just that this group of people looks like well-trained soldiers, and there are so many sea-going ships of uniform standard and large tonnage. There are two obvious possibilities, and the mysterious Jin Yiwei seems to be a more reasonable explanation.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zheng Laoqi knew that with the team he led, it was impossible to compete with the opponent. At the beginning, there were only a dozen or 20 people surrounding him, but when he finished checking the identity of the opponent At that time, there were as many as 60 to [-] people around.Being pointed at by so many firecrackers, Zheng Laoqi was already quite tense without trembling in fright.
"Are you the defenders of the pier of Yantai Mountain?" Gao Qiaonan saw that the opponent had given up, and began to implement the next plan.
Zheng Laoqi quickly responded: "Yes, yes, the villain is in charge of this pier."
Gao Qiaonan nodded and said: "I'm going to see this pier, you lead the way ahead, and tell me about the situation here by the way!"
Seeing that Gao Qiaonan was so grand, Zheng Laoqi didn't suspect him at the moment. While leading the way, he told Gao Qiaonan the general situation of the outpost in Yantai Mountain and the Qianhu Station in Qishan.Gao Qiaonan heard that there were not many people stationed in Yantai Mountain, and he felt relieved at the moment.
After arriving at the pier, Gao Qiaonan asked Zheng Laoqi to gather all his subordinates. In order to prevent any mistakes, he also specially asked Zheng Laoqi to take out the roster and check their names one by one.Zheng Laoqi didn't expect Gao Qiaonan's plan, and felt that this was indeed what a Shangguan patrol should look like, so he honestly checked the number of people by name.
Gao Qiaonan was afraid that there would be trouble, so he specifically asked: "Then when will the defenders of the pier be rotated?"
Zheng Laoqi responded respectfully: "My lord, according to the rules, the guard is changed every half a month, so there should be seven days before the change of guard."
Gao Qiaonan continued to ask: "Then how to guarantee the supply?"
Zheng Laoqi said: "Usually, it is replenished once a month from the city of Qishan in the south. The rice and noodles in the pier are enough for a month. They have also cultivated a few acres of vegetable fields in the south, and raised some chickens and ducks. When the tide is low, go to the beach to pick up some seafood, and there is no need to replenish food and grass in the near future. But if adults want to stay here temporarily..." Zheng Laoqi looked at the team at Gaoqiaonan, and did not continue.The food in the pier is stored according to the population of the garrison, but if the other team stays here, they may eat up the stock in five or six days.
Gao Qiaonan said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'm just asking, and I won't use the materials in your pier."
Zheng Laoqi quickly responded: "The villain dare not."
After Gao Qiaonan confirmed all kinds of information, he saw that the subordinates who entered the pier inspection had also come out to give the signal, so he snapped his fingers without haste: "Take it!"
Before Zheng Laoqi could figure out who Gao Qiaonan was going to take down, he felt a bite in the crook of his leg, and immediately fell to his knees, and then someone pressed him from behind, twisting his arms behind him, Then the wrists were locked by icy shackles, and almost at the same time, the ankles were also locked by shackles.
Zheng Laoqi looked to the side in horror, and saw that all his subordinates were also knocked down by this group of Jin Yiwei, their hands and feet were shackled, and the other party did not let go of even one of them.
"Master Liao, why is this?" Zheng Laoqi couldn't figure out why Jin Yiwei suddenly turned his face, so he could only ask the other party.
"Don't be afraid, this is not to punish you. It's just that I have a secret mission here. I can't let the news out. I have to wrong you for a few days. After the matter is over, I will return you to freedom, and there will be a silver subsidy." !” Takahashi Nan raised his voice and announced loudly.
Zheng Laoqi has been in the army for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. His mind is in a state of confusion at the moment. He doesn't know whether he should obey the opponent's arrangement and catch him without a fight, or find a way to resist or escape from here.
Just when he was hesitating, he heard "Liao Xun" continue to say: "Whoever resists, I can only regard it as disobedience to the military order and oppose the imperial court. To protect the overall situation, I will deal with it according to the military law!"
The words "dispose of according to military law" are still very effective. Everyone has completely quieted down at the moment. There were still a few people who were struggling non-stop, but they all calmed down when they heard this sentence.
Seeing that the situation was basically under control, Gao Qiaonan ordered the soldiers of the Ming army to be escorted back to the barracks next to the pier and put under surveillance.These people's hands and feet were locked by fine steel shackles, and everything on their bodies was searched, leaving only their clothes, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.And Yantai Mountain is still a few miles away from the city of Qishan in the south, even if these people screamed, it would be useless.In fact, their luck is quite good. If Gao Qiaonan directly brought someone to the door, then there might be no Jinyi Weiyi who has a special identity. Most of the special forces follow the standard procedure. Leave one or two alive for interrogation.
Going south to the top floor of the pier, Gao Qiao took a telescope to look at the sea surface of Zhifu Bay from the crenel. The north is across the bay, and there is Zhifu Island lying in the sea, about ten miles away from Yantai Mountain.
"This place is indeed a good location!" After confirming the view here, Gao Qiaonan also admired the arrangement of his superiors. As long as Yantai Mountain, the Ming army outpost, is pulled out, the Qishan Qianhu Station, which is close at hand, will be opened. He became blind and completely lost control of Zhifu Bay.In this way, when the Haihan fleet entered Zhifu Bay, the external threats that they might encounter had been reduced to the lowest state, and what Haihan wanted to strive for was a relatively stable landing environment.
"Gaoqiao South has taken care of the Ming army outpost in Zhifu Bay." Wang Tom received a telegram from the vanguard on the flagship, and immediately shared the good news with Qian Tiandun and others.
"He has always been very fast in this kind of work." Qian Tiandun was very calm about the news, which probably stemmed from his full confidence in the ability of the man he trained by himself.
About four hours after the vanguard arrived at Zhifu Bay, the main force of the huge Haihan fleet finally sailed into this sea area.If Zheng Laoqi saw this scene, he probably wouldn’t believe in Gao Qiaonan’s identity as the so-called Jinyiwei, because looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there must be no warship that can reach the same tonnage as the “Majestic Class”. Not even a boat half its size could be built.This huge fleet suddenly appeared in Zhifu Bay, no matter what, it is impossible to pretend to be the name of the Daming Navy.
The preset landing point of the main fleet is farther north than the vanguard, basically close to the south bank of Zhifu Island.The vanguard troops who arrived here earlier have completed the survey of several major landing points and marked them on the shore. When the fleet began to sail into this sea area, the personnel on the shore used flags of different colors to guide the ships of different tonnages. Level ships berth to the planned area.
Regarding how to make a large-scale fleet dock in the unfamiliar environment of Zhifu Island in a short period of time, and quickly implement the landing and transfer of personnel and goods, this is indeed a project that will test the comprehensive coordination and command capabilities.For this reason, the Shipping Department also conducted a landing deduction with a sand table model in advance, and made corresponding plans for various possible situations.Although the sand table is made based on the satellite data map in Haihan's hands, it may be slightly different from the actual topography of Zhifu Island, but it is still within the tolerance range.Moreover, the Executive Committee specially transferred Sun Changmi to the Northward Fleet, one of the purposes of which was to allow him to coordinate and command the fleet to land in an orderly manner.
However, the original plan actually had a slight deviation. The original scheduled arrival time at Zhifu Island was early in the morning, but the actual itinerary arrived about half a day earlier.When several traversers were transferred from the flagship to the shore by small boat, it was already evening.No matter how complete the landing plan of the Shipping Department is, it cannot change the speed at which the sun is setting. Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible to complete the landing of all personnel and materials before dark.
"It seems that we can only get through the night first." Sun Changmi looked at the sky, and expressed his attitude to Wang Tom helplessly: "Before the sun sets, let all the ships anchor in Zhifu Bay, and wait We will continue to adjust the berth tomorrow morning."
Wang Tom has nothing to argue about this. He is also a professional in maritime affairs. He naturally knows that in such a wild environment without a dock, he cannot take the risk of landing at night. Restrictions cause confusion.Now that the vanguard has cleared the Ming army outpost on the coast of Zhifu Bay, there is no need to rush to complete the landing at this time. Naturally, it is necessary to adjust the strategy and focus on safety.
So several people separately issued orders to let the smaller tonnage ships dock first, while the larger tonnage ships anchored outside.Although the people on the ship could not go ashore to rest, but fortunately, the wind and waves in Zhifu Bay were relatively small, which was definitely much easier than traveling at sea.
Before the sun went down, the engineers had already leveled an open space 200 meters away from the coastline and completed the construction of two prefabricated houses.This kind of wooden prefabricated house is all prefabricated. After being transported to the site, it is like building blocks. The four walls, the roof, and the floor are spliced together one by one, and then the doors, windows, and furniture are installed. It only takes less than two pieces. It can be done in hours.And these two prefabricated houses will also serve as the residence of Sun Changmi, Qian Tiandun, Hao Wanqing, and Chen Yixin tonight.
As for the old sea dog Tom Wang, he felt more comfortable staying on the boat, and returned to the boat after explaining the matter.Of course, the captain's cabin on the flagship is far more comfortable than this temporary prefabricated house, which is also one of the reasons why he chose to abandon the ship on land.
As for other ordinary soldiers who have already landed, they can only rely on setting up tents to survive the hard days of the first few days of landing.Although there are such good things as prefabricated houses, the quantity shipped to Shandong is not very large, and the military does not expect to use prefabricated houses to solve the local barracks construction problem.After all the materials and personnel have landed, the headquarters will organize people to cut down trees on Zhifu Island, build brick kilns, and use local materials to build semi-permanent long-term residences.
Gao Qiaonan did not return to Zhifu Island to join the main force that night. He led a company and was stationed in the Ming army barracks in Yantai Mountain.Because he found that this place can not only monitor Zhifu Bay in the north, but also change the direction, and also monitor the movement of the strange mountain city in the south.If Qishan Suocheng has any temporary arrangements to send people to Yantai Mountain, then he can make preparations in advance.
For the first batch of captives captured in Shandong, Takahashi-nan did not mistreat them. He also made more dinners and asked people to feed them to the captives with bowls and spoons.However, he was not without scheming, and the food he arranged to feed the prisoners was only one tael per person, and he did not give them a chance to eat enough.In this way, the physical condition and physical strength of the prisoners will be affected, and the possibility of resistance and trouble will be reduced accordingly.
A soldier of the Ming army saw that this group of "Jinyiwei" was so deprived of food, and he couldn't help but cursed in Shandong accent: "Your grandma has a leg! It's fine to lock me up, and I won't let me eat this food." You are full, are you going to starve me to death here?"
Gao Qiaonan's subordinates would not ask him how to deal with such a trivial matter. Since the order was issued by the battalion commander, the soldiers who received the task could just follow through. This prisoner of war is so reckless, of course he needs to be punished. .At that moment, the little soldier who had just finished his mouth addiction was dragged into the yard, was whipped ten times severely, and screamed again and again, while Zheng Laoqi and others were also forced to watch the whole process.
"Since he thinks it's too little, then don't eat it today. Is there anyone else who thinks it's too little?" After smoking this unlucky ghost, the soldier in charge of feeding the prisoners of war asked viciously, staring at a group of prisoners.
If you think it’s too little, you won’t have to eat and you’ll be whipped. Who would be stupid enough to follow in this kind of footsteps? At the moment, they just shake their heads like a rattle. No one will foolishly force their heads. loss in front of my eyes.
After this unexpected incident, the captives' emotions have stabilized a lot, because judging from the attitude and way the other party handles their colleagues, at least there is no intention to kill anyone.Moreover, Takahashi Nan had told them earlier that he would only wrong them for a few days and then return them to freedom. It seemed that he was not so strong against this arrangement of imprisonment.Of course, they really couldn't imagine at this time that when they regained their freedom a few days later, there would have been a big change in Zhifu Bay.
Nothing happened overnight, and the Haihan fleet continued to transfer personnel and supplies to the shore from the early morning of the next day.If all goes well, this link should be completed within two days.
