Chapter 349 Commanders of the Five Provinces (Part 2)

Cent's eyes were rolling, and he felt very distressed when he drew half of the fleet to fight, because he had to make a name for himself if he won, and if he defeated himself, he would be cut off! It's not cost-effective, but now all three of them agree. Isn't that asking for death if he doesn't agree?

Alas, I admit it, I still have half of the fleet left, at least as seeds, I am afraid that what Nafra said, the ones who stayed behind could not be stopped, and the base was destroyed, and even if the warship could be kept intact, they could only be pirates.

But on the good side, even if the Cons army has a strong offensive, they will definitely withdraw as long as they find that their lairs are being raided. In this way, it seems amazing that they are suffering some losses from the local area. This is a bad thing.

Just as Cent was about to agree, Eddette couldn't stand his sensation and couldn't help but say, "What do you think so much? At worst, after the war, I will sell you 100 warships at a cheap price in Haiwu Province, and you will be able to replenish your losses."

Cent immediately cheered with shiny eyes, and light also emanated from Fla's eyes.

There is no way, the warship yards in Haiwu Province are under the control of the First and Second Fleet, which is also the reason why the Fourth Fleet can only run to Haiguang Province to station. Therefore, it is very difficult for the Fourth Fleet to replenish warships. If it were not for the support of the armed merchant ships, the Fourth Fleet would probably become a ruined household like the Third Fleet.

Eddette and Zov looked at each other, and both sides noticed the smile in each other's eyes.

I can't help but laugh. I just drag half of the other party's fleet into the water, and the benefit I give is to sell it instead of giving it to the other party's 100 warships. Not only can I get a sum of money, but I can also replace the old ships of my own two families. It's really a killing of one kill. If the old ship is renovated and sold, who can't be a warship?

"Okay, that's it. Let's squeeze those rich people now. We will fight for them to die, and we will comfort us even if we want to."

Zoff smiled.

Hearing this, the four people who were not right immediately gathered into a group and stared at these fat and rippling rich people.

The rich people who had no idea that they were about to be exploited saw Hai Guang, Haiwu's leader looked over, and couldn't help but squeeze out a humble smile and bent down to salute and greet him.

The result of this banquet was of course that the four major fleets were full of red and happy, while the rich people had blue and frown.

Even so, Haiwu and Haiguang provinces also began a major mobilization after this banquet. All private soldiers gathered together and all warships began to prepare for their departure.

When the private soldiers began to form, four fleets filled with two divisions of marines, at the command of the four fleet captains, half of the four fleets' maritime force immediately left the port.

Haibin Provincial Governor's Office "Master, this is the information of Haiping, Haiguang and Haiwu."

Xiangwen handed a stack of information to Cons.

Cons didn't answer, and directly chopped his sword, turned around and kicked it sideways, and said at the same time: "You read it."

Xiangwen knew that his master didn't care about these things, so he took out his documents and said, "Yes, Haiping Province is the province with the most plain farmland among the five southeastern provinces. Now most of the provinces have shortage of food. Haiping Province has enough food to support it, but except for the food you don't have to worry about, there is no other specialty in the entire province.

"There are no foreign warlords, and the twelve warlords in the province are all local tyrants. Because they are all local tyrants and have sufficient military resources, each warlord can pull up more than one division at once.

"But because he was a native of a rich man, there was a huge shortage of officers, and there were no grassroots officers. He was just a general, a few deputy generals, and dozens of side generals, and he was with him tens of thousands of people.

"The same style of J is the identity of a local tyrant. There is also a great lack of equipment. A warlord can equip the Imperial Army weapons of at most one gang. Other soldiers can only use inferior weapons made by themselves, so the Secret Guard confirmed that although Haiping Province has sufficient military strength, it is the weakest among the five provinces in Quannan."

Cons said with an elbow, "So our first goal is Haiping Province. Although we have made great efforts to manage agriculture, the time has been short and there is no result yet, and it is still as short as other places. The food is supported by the Feidu Peninsula. In order to avoid accidents, even if Haiquan Province is annexed, Haiping Province must be taken down!"

Xiang Wen smiled and said, "Master, this sea level province will definitely make us easily take it. If even these Wutai people cannot defeat them, all the commanders of our army will buy a piece of tofu and kill them!"

When Cons heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, just let them not be careless, and then continue."

Xiang Wen immediately said: "Yes, Haiwu Province has a full-time warship construction. The first and second fleet stationed in Haiwu Province is the strongest fleet in the navy. The two ships have the same number of warships, both of which are 320, which means that Haiwu Province has a total of 640 warships and more than 200,000 sailors!

"The first and second fleets each have three brigades of marines. In addition to the private soldiers in the officers' manor and the private soldiers of local tyrants, the private soldiers in Haiwu Province have reached 300,000, but the strong land forces are only the marines of nearly six brigades."

"Hmm? Didn't the Fourth Fleet also stationed in Haiwu Province? Why didn't it calculate?" Cons was puzzled.

"On the Lord, Fra of the Fourth Fleet wanted to increase the number of his warships, but the new ships in Haiwu Province were all in the hands of the First and Second Fleet. Zov of the First Fleet and Midette of the Second Fleet were together since childhood. They had a good relationship. Of course, they did not want to get one more person to eat. So after a while, Fra could not get a new ship, and they were almost hoeing all the ochre feet of the Fourth Fleet.

"The Fifth Fleet of Haiguang Province only has one fleet stationed in the garrison, with few troops. The fourth Fleet of Chuoxin was swallowed by the 1st and 2nd Fleet and took advantage of the situation to swallow him, so he invited the neighboring fourth Fleet to garrison in the garrison. It can be said that the Imperial Navy was not very united."

“原来这样,继续.”康斯点头.

"Haiguang Province has full-time manufacturing merchant ships, so the Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Fleet are both armed merchant ships, which are definitely not opponents compared to real warships, but the number is definitely more than that of Haiwu Province. The Fourth Fleet has more than 540 armed merchant ships, and the Fifth Fleet is nearly 1,000 armed merchant ships from ordinary people.

"The sailors exceed 400,000, and because Haiguang saves a lot of money, the Marine Corps has eight brigades and all of them are the best equipment. Although the officers and local tyrants have only about 200,000 private soldiers, because of the high money, the combat effectiveness of private soldiers in Haiguang Province is definitely much stronger than that of Haiwu Province." Xiang Wen said.

Cons stopped swinging his sword and asked frowned, "According to your calculations, Haiwu Province has 640 standard warships, 200,000 sailors, 600,000 marines, 300,000 private soldiers, 1,500 armed merchant ships, 400,000 sailors, nearly 100,000 marines, and 200,000 private soldiers. The permanent troops of these two provinces are all about 1.3 million. What population is there in these two provinces? Not all men are soldiers?"

"Yes, because Hai Guang and Hai Wu are rich and powerful, the males in the province either join sailors or become private soldiers, and the outstanding ones become marines." Xiang Wen nodded and said.

Cons put away his weapons: "In other words, the women, children, young and old in the province are the families of the enemy. If we attack Haiguang and Haiwu provinces, will the whole nation be enemies?"

Seeing Cons put away his knife, the maid next to him brought towels, tea, and snacks.

Xiang Wen nodded and said yes, while holding the documents, took the towel from the maid and handed it to Cons. He took care of Cons himself, which was the rule set by Xiang Wen himself.

However, it also made Xiangwen's job snatched by other maids to take care of Cons because of her busy schedule, and the maid who snatched her job seemed to have won a big prize.

Cons wiped his sweat and drank a sip of tea before saying, "Huh, it seems that it is not so easy to attack these two provinces with all the people, with a lot of wealth and a lot of people."

"The Lord does not need to worry, just need the Secret Guard to destroy the commanders of the four major fleets and make them messy, so we can naturally easily conquer the two provinces." Xiang Wen said without hesitation.

"It's easy to conquer, but what should we do then? According to the rules, all the people in these two provinces will become slaves. There are millions of slaves, which are more than the people under our command now. If they rebel, how can we solve them? Kill them all?" Cons shook his head and said.

"Uh." Xiang Wen frowned, and he said it was right. It can be said that according to the rules, everyone in Haiguang and Haiwu provinces will be demoted to slaves.

Because they are all families of the enemy and have less surveillance from the local vested interests, these millions of slaves are really a troublesome.

"First send the First Infantry Division to attack Haiping Province, the Second Infantry Division is on guard. The First Cavalry Division is on the border Jinghou to see if it can seduce a group of enemy troops from both provinces to come out. First, it will take several victories to destroy the morale of the enemy. It is said that before the general attack is launched, some people will surrender to us in advance." Cons said.

"Yes, I will also send secret guards to sow discord and agitate to see if I can absorb a group of local forces to join us before the war."

Xiang Wenfuran knew what Cons meant, which was to make the two provinces lose their expectations of victory, and to make them frustrated, and to understand that they could only fall into the hands of the Cons army in the end, so that they could choose to become slaves or gossip in advance. As long as there was a certain base of people, these vested interests could be allowed to monitor the blinking slaves.

At this moment, a secret guard suddenly appeared in front of Cons and said, "The four major fleets of Haiguang and Haiwu provinces suddenly mobilized half of the ships to prepare for war. The targets were Haiquan and Haibin provinces, and the third fleet was ready to intercept."

"Oh, they took the initiative? Have Liu Qingyang not caused trouble for the Imperial Navy during this period?" Cons asked with a relaxed expression.

"The Chief of the Navy has been busy training the troops for a while. Not only has he not caused trouble for the Imperial Navy, but he has not even blocked the Imperial Navy's maritime trade routes, let alone collect taxes."

Xiangwen gave Liu Qingyang a fierce look. Who told that guy's attitude towards slaves and his attitude towards Cons made him offend Xiangwen, and he had long watched Liu Qingyang's surveillance. Of course, Xiangwen did not add salt or vinegar, and reported it completely.

Cons didn't care, but sighed: "We don't understand the navy. Since the Navy Chief has been practicing, it means that our navy has not yet reached the point where we can compete with the Imperial Navy. However, it's hard not to fight this time, after all, they have come to us.

"Yes, how powerful is the Third Fleet now?"

"The Third Fleet has 75 Helmet-class armed merchant ships, 145 large warships, 320 medium warships, and 1,000 small speedboats. Land warfare against a brigade, a total of more than 100,000 sailors."

"so much?"

Cons was stunned for a moment. He had not paid attention to the navy on his side for a long time. He did not expect that it had reached this number, especially the number of Helmet-class armed merchant ships, which actually had 75. Cons was very clear about the power of such modified armed merchant ships.

"Yes, our navy has reached this point. The Navy Chief is not satisfied and has been training troops." Xiang Wen said dissatisfied.

Cons waved his hand and said without mind: "Although I don't understand naval warfare, I also know that it's either a ship or a navy. It is estimated that it will be difficult for the captains of these seventy-five armed merchant ships to find a suitable candidate, and sailors are not just soldiers who know how to water."

Seeing that Cons still trusted Liu Qingyang so much, Xiangwen had to nod, but he secretly decided in his heart that if Liu Qingyang dared to let down the Lord's trust, he would definitely want him to live or die!

Cons pondered for a moment and began to order: "The Imperial Navy has already gone to war, so transfer the Second Infantry Division back to the coast to garrison, order the First Infantry Division and the First Cavalry Division to capture Haiping Province in one go, and order the reserve troops in various places to enter a state of alert. Order the secret guards to speed up the collection of intelligence."

"yes!"
