Chapter 286: Fucheng

The boss of the ship wanted to leave this place, so he quickly took care of his subordinates to move the rudder and sail and sailed to the outside sea. At this moment, waves were churning on the sea surface, and two 8154 fishing ships were entering the port. The two fishing ships recently underwent a large-scale modification and were undergoing sea surveys. The modification project dismantled the fishery production equipment and some of the above-level navigation and electronic equipment, installed weapons, set up special ammunition depots, expanded the fuel tank and personnel cabin, and installed armor in key areas to make it commensurate with its "cruiser" status.

Tang Yunwen looked at the steel warship afterwards, and the sound of the machine drove past five hundred meters outside the board, regardless of the wind direction or the trend, without sailing, driving like the wind, and the ocean was driving casually as if it was smooth. He couldn't help but turn pale and sat on the fishing net like a force.

"Sir!" Zhang Wen hurried over and helped him up.

"It doesn't matter!" Tang Yunwen waved his hand, "Go back!"

Tang Yunwen sat for a while, then stood up and went down to sit in the cabin, feeling sweaty. The 8154 fishing ferry gave him a larger stimulation than the big iron ship, which was nothing more than a "big". Besides, he did not believe that this giant could start it on his own. But this fishing ferry was seen with his own eyes. The opponent had such a ship, and how powerful it could be in naval battles, he knew very well as the naval general.

"This ship is so powerful." Zhang Wen was also chaotic.

"This is an iron clutch," said the ship boss, "and it was also brought by the Australians."

"So they have more than one big iron ship?" Zhang Wen said nervously, there are iron ships?

"Of course more than that." The ship boss said proudly, "In addition to the iron clutch, I have seen them have a large ship with a very low boat gang. The deck is very flat. It was originally filled with large iron boxes, but now there is only a big orange cube on it..." The ship boss waved, "Someone has also seen Australians have a kind of square-headed boat. They don't have to enter the port, and they can go up and down the beach by themselves. The bow of the boat can be opened, and it is just a springboard to open..."

"Absurd!" Zhang Wen couldn't help but comment, "If the bow of the ship is opened, isn't it going to sink in the sea?"

The boss of the boat laughed and said, "Deputy Master! This is a legend for everyone. I have never seen it before. I don't know if it is like this."

Tang Yunwen was not interested in the ship that could be opened on the bow of the ship. What he was most concerned about was the "iron clutch". Asked: "How many iron clutch are there in this group of Australians?"

"I don't know if this little one is." The ship boss said that all Australian ships were anchored on a special dock on the other side of Bopu Port. Ordinary ships are not allowed to approach, and there are small boats on the water at all times and are not allowed to cross the line.

"There are some fun and you have to get close to see it, and they are all captured - none of the arrested ones are released." The smile on the boss's face disappeared, "I heard that they are working hard for Australians."

I probably thought about my behavior of transporting officers to visit the shop this time. If the Australians discovered it, the boat owner stood up and patted his butt, scolded the boatman, and asked them to row the boat quickly and leave quickly.

"Sir, this Iron Clipper is a tricky one..."

Tang Yunwen nodded. He thought that he would force the Australians to evacuate Lingao, and he would definitely lose by force. He could only use the method of Penghu to deal with the red-haired people in the past, and force the army to move with force. The Australians came from a long distance, after all, there were few ships and few people. Although he collected local bad people to enrich their strength, the scale was limited. His side showed his power with ten or twenty times advantages, and he would not worry about the other side retreating without knowing the difficulties.

At the end of the Wanli period, the red-haired people arrived in Penghu with three large ships, and the official army forced them to move out fifty warships; when they entered Penghu twice in the fourth year of Tianqi, there were only more than ten large and large warships of red-haired warships, and the land combat force was only 800. Yu Zigao led more than 10,000 people to fight with him for eight months before forcing him to retreat. The current strength and scale of the Australians were far inferior to the red-haired people at that time.

According to his estimate, to expel the Australians entrenched in Bopu, no less than Wanli, and the red-haired men in Penghu were mobilized for the second time during the Tianqi period. The troops used must be at least tens of thousands and fifty warships before they can surround the Australians around Bopu and force them to retreat. There is no other way.

Lin Baiguang was walking on the street in front of Qiongshan County wearing a small businessman's clothes. He was about to visit someone. This person had a lot to do with his plan to come here.

The traversing group's rule in Linggao is deepening, and the plan to open and divide mines at important resources on the island is also under implementation. The next step is to infiltrate and control the prefectures and counties across the island.

Other prefectures and counties on the island have no political and military significance. The Executive Committee believes that the key is Qiongshan County. Qiongshan County is the first county of Qiongzhou Prefecture, the gateway to Hainan Island. The political and economic center of the island is the core of the Ming Dynasty and the only garrison of the island with combat power.

If the Ming army wanted to carry out military encirclement and suppression of Lingao, this was the only place for the army to cross the sea to gather. If the crossing group wanted to launch a war to unify the entire island, it would also have to defeat the garrison of Baisha Water Village, capture Qianhusuo City, and occupy Qiongshan County. Other prefectures and counties on the island could basically be issued an edict. For this reason, the Intelligence Committee focused on the current intelligence and infiltration work. Lin Baiguang's task was to use the existing relationship to establish an intelligence network in Qiongzhou Prefecture, with the focus on infiltration into the local governments and garrisons and grasp the situation and trends of the garrisons.

Because the Qionshan County and City are connected to Guofu City, they are much larger than Linggao. The county is located at the foot of Daying Mountain and Baoer Mountain, and is built by the mountains and rivers. The terrain is higher than the surrounding area. The Meishe River flows through its south gate and east gate, forming a natural moat, which is similar to the construction of Linggao City.

This place is where the city is located, and most of the people and materials from the mainland are gathered here, so the business is quite prosperous. There are many shops and houses on both sides of the street outside the East Gate, the West Gate and the South Gate, which is very lively. There are also handicraft workshops rarely seen in Hainan. Many simple primary industrial products can only be manufactured here. Therefore, there are many populations and houses here, and the bustling streets look a bit like the ancient county town in novels and movies.

However, as soon as you enter the county town, you can't see many commercial and residents like Linggao. There are various yamen on both sides of the street: Qiongzhou Prefecture, Hainan Branch Road, Administration Branch, Military Equipment Bureau, Qiongzhou Prefecture School, Qiongshan County School... There is almost no sign of private houses, let alone commercial institutions. There is a market in Dongmen Pass and it seems quite lively. Lin Baiguang inquired about it and it is also called "Dongmen Market".

Lin Baiguang was very puzzled by this strange situation. Why is this dignified mansion so small that it has not much area after being filled with various government offices? It is deserted and almost no space for residents' residential areas and commercial areas. Instead, it is bustling outside the city, forming a settlement of population. He did not know that there was a big difference between the cities in Hainan and the cities on the mainland in ancient times: the mainland had people first and then cities, that is, the city appeared after the population was concentrated to a certain density; Hainan had cities first and then people, and the city was built for the needs of garrison and administrative purposes. In other words, whether it was Qiongzhou Prefecture City or Lingao County, its essence was a military castle. The purpose of building a city was more to defend against the attacks of indigenous people and bandits, showing the ruling power of the court.

Gradually, the city became a guarantee of safety, and the people gathered around the city and formed settlements. Because the city itself had not planned for residents, the area was generally small, and it was difficult to accommodate the ever-increasing number of houses, so even the hometowns of Qiu Jun and Hai Rui, famous figures in Qiongshan County, were outside the west gate.

The Travel Group has already set up a foothold in Shenying Port outside Qiongshan County, which is an inn opened by Qiongwei. In addition to guest rooms, it also has a large-scale cargo warehouse and a Gaoguang Ship ticket agency. The service targets are merchants who purchase local products on the island. They have purchased various local products on Hainan Island and can temporarily store them here, and then go through the Gaoguang Ship to check the goods. Because of the convenient procedures and the transportation is safe, one-third of the goods exported from Qiongshan are now carried by Gaoguang Ship to ships.

Lin Baiguang thought it was inconvenient to stay in the inn and stayed in the city too far away. So he took his subordinates to live in a small temple outside the city as a merchant. This kind of temple is not large in size, but the living and food are very clean and exquisite. Not only is it convenient to live, but it is also very quiet, it is completely the "high-end hotel" at that time.

He was generous and threw out ten taels of silver to buy a small courtyard as soon as he arrived. He settled down and set up a 20,000 radio station with him, and established a radio contact with the Linggao General Station. Every day he had to go out and "visit" guests according to a list.

It is actually not accurate to say that it is a "visit". Some are real visitors and posts to the door for a visit; some are just asking for information from the outside, but not really asking for it.

These people have all kinds of things to do. The list that Lin Baiguang holds is actually from Gou Dagou Er's Wenpiao Astronomy. He is preparing to accept this system.

Lin Baiguang selected about twenty people on the list of cooperation with the Gou family - there is no need to accept the relationship network. According to the plan of the Time Travel Group, the entire Hainan Island will be occupied by the end of the first five-year plan, and they will be the rulers of Qiongshan County by then.
