"Whatever the soldiers point to, they are invincible!" Qi Yuanbi raised his sword and shouted.

"Whatever the soldiers point to, they are invincible!" The 20,000 soldiers in the camp of the Beiyang Navy Division shouted in unison.

The sound of waves overshadowed one wave after another, one after another, straight into the sky, Liu Hong gradually rode the horse for a long time and waved his hand to stop the high morale.

"Soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division, don't you always envy the border army for having the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and be knighted?

Now that the opportunity has come, and it is likely that you will face the navy, which is known as the best navy in the world, Taoist priests should not be frightened. Liu Hong gradually patted his horse to the array where Qi Yuanbi was and teased.

Although the three brothers of the Qi family all served in the Beiyang Naval Division, the third Qi Yuanbi had a rough personality and did not participate in the formulation of strategy and tactics, but led an army to be responsible for the first charge.

"Where can we, Lord Admiral, let's just wait for the war, if you don't fight, you might as well go back and farm with your wife and children, don't you say?" Qi Yuanbi said in a loud voice behind him.

Most of these sailor soldiers participated in the battle to expel the Zheng family last year, and they knew that Liu Hongjian was not a pedantic person, and they dared to joke.

The soldiers behind laughed when they heard this, but Qi Yuanbi rubbed his nose and looked very unhappy, but the two brothers were standing behind Liu Hongji, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"Less nonsense! You will have three days to prepare, and after three days, you want to stay with this king, otherwise you will go to Vice Admiral Qi to receive severance pay, and you will not be ashamed.

The brave, those who want to make meritorious contributions, join the Beiyang Naval Division, join our war, and this king will lead you to win everything you want.

Our journey is, the sea of stars! ”

Liu Hong's voice was high-pitched, and at the same time, his eyes swept in front of the rows of soldiers, and then stopped in the center of the line, and after finishing his words, there was calm in the camp.

There is a different kind of atmosphere flooding in this calm, joining the war, joining the Beiyang Naval Division, winning everything, being crowned, being promoted, honoring and everything......

The Admiral was a man of his word, which was well known throughout the Ming Dynasty's military system.

Everyone's eyes became burning, and staring at Liu Hong gradually seemed to be looking at a beautiful woman who had just been released from prison......

"Disband!" Liu Hong gradually roared, and immediately walked towards the largest courtyard in the camp with several personal guards and senior generals of the water division.

Made, it seems like she's pushed a little too hard.

Just now, he was also on a whim, and he improvised to think of the famous advertising words of an online game in later generations.

Not to mention, the effect is really good, and the morale is expected.

Conquering the seas and then conquering the world was something he would never have imagined in later life, but since he came to this world, everything has changed.

He is no longer a poor pudgy dumpty who eats and waits for death, he is now going to drive a warship to the South Pacific to scatter some wilderness, to teach the Dutch how to be a younger brother with cannonballs, and to save the country in danger.

This king will conquer you, O sea.

The temporary governor's palace was already full of the generals of the Beiyang Naval Division, and Liu Hong's subordinates were Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, and Qi Yuanbi, Qi Yuangong was responsible for strategic coordination, and Qi Yuanfu was responsible for the general logistics of the fleet.

Further down was the captain of the main battleship, and there were more than four of them, so that the temporary conference room of the temporary admiral's yamen could not sit at all.

Fortunately, the military system is not so particular, and a group of people sit or stand in a large circle.

"The affairs of the Zheng family are jointly manipulated by Cao Sanxi and the Dutch in the northeast, and Cao Sanxi, as a Han Chinese, does not want to serve the country, but colludes with foreign vassals for his own selfish interests, which is really a traitor.

The Cao family in the northeast has been raided by the people of the East Investigation Factory, and our mission is even more important, to go to Sulu to rescue the besieged Han people.

You all have any opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say them. ”

Liu Honggradually concisely told everyone present about the Nanyang, although the news had already reached here, but Liu Honggradually felt that it was necessary to repeat it again.

The first priority of the Beiyang Navy Division this time was to rescue the hundreds of thousands of Han people in Sulu, and the trapped and grief-stricken brother Zheng Sen who could not tear the Dutch apart, and then think about other things.

At present, the morale of the Beiyang Navy Division is high, confidence is a good thing, overconfidence becomes arrogance, arrogance will be defeated, and in ancient times, I don't know how many battles with less to win more are caused by the carelessness of the superior.

Don't say that the Beiyang Naval Division is not the dominant side, even if it is, it is difficult to say whether it will win or lose, and naval battles are not as unpredictable as land battles.

When the naval division of the Great Yuan crossed the Sea of Japan to attack the Japanese kingdom, the answer was of course yes, but so what, the storm surge that destroyed the world was still wiped out.

Otherwise, why do the devils of the next generation always like to call it a kamikaze special attack team or a kamikaze mobile group, it's all because of this.

Therefore, even if the morale is good, as a commander, you still have to stay sober and calm.

"Lord Admiral, this is a plan for the march made by the lowly position." Qi Yuangong handed over a letter and said.

According to the plan, the Beiyang Naval Division will dispatch 316 ships of various types and 18,634 soldiers of the division.

Starting from Weihai, the sailors traveled south along the coast, passing through Ningbo and Fuzhou to Quanzhou, stopping at Quanzhou Bay for final replenishment, and then continuing south to the Sulu Islands.

The itinerary plan was written in detail, and even the time to arrive in various places was calculated, and Liu Hong nodded after reading it.

"Your Excellency, it will take three days for the ship to be overhauled, all kinds of weapons and ammunition to be replenished, and the mobilization of military rations, etc., and the inferior post has already informed the governor of Denglai, Li Huixing, that the sailors will definitely set sail on time in three days." Qi Yuanfu then replied.

"Lord Admiral, the latest information from Sulu is that a day ago, the Zheng family is now relying on strong batteries to resist the Dutch coalition forces, and the Zheng family in charge of contact said that it is impossible for the Dutch to break through the Zheng family's battery line in a short time."

The person who spoke was Gao Cheng, the first director of the Beiyang Naval Division Investigation Bureau.

The Beiyang Naval Division is equipped with a special reconnaissance department, which will be docked with Jinyiwei in wartime to obtain the latest battle situation, and when going to sea, it will be responsible for the sentry work and reconnaissance work of the entire fleet.

"Well, call Zheng Sen back, be sure to let him do a good job of confidentiality." Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

It's not that Liu Hongjian didn't think about a sneak attack, but with such a big movement as the Beiyang Naval Division, it is unrealistic to want to hide it, but the more true or false the news, the better the effect.

In the next two days, he took his personal guards to visit the entire naval division base, and by the way, he did not forget to explain his special requirements to the officials of the Ministry of Engineering responsible for the construction of the Admiral's Mansion.

Three days later, more than 300 ships and more than 18,000 sailors left the base, where they had been stationed for nearly a year, and set sail toward the South Seas.
