On the school field, the flags were hunting, the gongs and drums shook the sky, the horns sounded, and more than 3,000 recruits lined up in a neat formation, waiting for Wang Xinyu to come to review the recruit lineup.

"It's coming!" Someone shouted.

At the entrance of the barracks, a big banner with the word "Ming" appeared at the gate of the village, and a group of Ming troops walked into the camp with neat steps, and the iron boots of the ironclad soldiers stepped on the ground, echoing a neat roar, which was in harmony with the drums of the Chinese army.

All eyes looked at the gate of the camp, and saw a team of twenty men in front of them, a squad of thirty men in the back, a squad of fifty pikemen, and then a squad of twenty men in the back, and in the middle of the team was a team of thirty pro-soldiers on horses, and in the middle of the horse team, a young general in white helmet and white armor rode a white horse; Behind the horse team, a team of fifty musketeers, behind it were two drummers and a ten-man land division special combat team, then a ten-person sailor special combat team, and finally a ten-person Tiandihui special combat team.

A group of burly soldiers in iron armor marched into the barracks in a neat formation, and the sophisticated equipment and solemn momentum made the recruits in the barracks envious.

"When will we be like them!" Chen Shuigen said to himself.

Liu Baorui, who was standing on the side, said softly: "I want to be a bird gunner, their bird gun is very bright, very special, it seems to be the self-generated fire gun of the Xiyi people, and it doesn't use a fire rope." ”

"Just you? You'll have to really shoot birds. Chen Shuigen was very disdainful.

"When the three-month recruit training is over, I will show you a hand." Liu Baorui said softly.

The team officer turned his head and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang is here!" No noise! It's all quiet! ”

The soldiers entered the center of the school field and quickly lined up on both sides of the point platform, standing neatly and facing the recruit formation.

Liu Qi opened his voice and shouted, "Brothers! Today is Mr. Wang to see our recruit team! Now, Mr. Wang, please tell you a few words! ”

Wang Xinyu walked to the point podium, looked around, and then opened his voice and shouted: "Brothers! I won't say much more about the nice ones! Why did you come to join the army? So that we can live! So that our family can live! How many people have been uprooted from their homes, displaced, and lost their livelihoods due to the ban on the sea in Tartars! Only by defeating them can we survive and our families survive! ”

"Kill the Tartars!" Jiang Zhiping roared.

"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars! More than 3,000 recruits shouted in unison.

Wang Xinyu raised his voice again and shouted, "Brothers, how can we defeat the Tartars? An army, a truly invincible iron army, needs discipline like iron! I know that the training of recruits is very hard, and there may be a lot of people who can't keep going! If you can't hold on, I won't force you to stay! But you must know that if you cannot learn the skill, when the Tartar comes, when he puts the knife on your neck, what will you do to protect yourselves, your wives and children, and your children? If you can't protect yourself, the Tartars will cut off your heads, they will kill you like dogs, and after they will kill you, they will point to your corpse and say, "Look, that's slaves!" ”

"Practice your skills and kill the Tartars!" Jiang Zhiping yelled.

"Practice your skills and kill the Tartars!" Three thousand recruits roared in unison, and the roar resounded through the sky.

Wang Xinyu walked down and said to Liu Qi with a smile: "General Liu, look at these recruits who have only been trained for a few days, they are standing in such a neat line, it seems that they have not been whipped by you, right?" ”

Liu Qi smiled: "Mr. Wang, he also hates iron and steel!" I just want to train these recruits as soon as possible, so that they can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy one day sooner! ”

"Recruit training is not something that happens overnight, strict requirements are necessary! But also time, be patient! I believe that these soldiers are good soldiers! Wang Xinyu said with a smile.

After leaving the boot barracks, Wang Xinyu went to the special forces and agent training camp in Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou Island is closer to the mouth of the Pearl River than Xiamen to the mouth of the Pearl River, which is more conducive to launching an attack.

The plan to rush into the mouth of the Pearl River and annihilate the Qing army's Guangdong naval division had already begun preparations a few years ago, and the special combat teams of the land division, the naval division, and the special forces specially trained for attacking the batteries at the mouth of the Pearl River. This time, with the cooperation of the local heaven and earth, it can be guaranteed that nothing goes wrong. The next step is to develop a concrete action plan.

Wang Xinyu walked into the lobby of the training camp and summoned Fang Yizhi, Cai Jiuyi, Hong Xiguan, Hu Dedi, Cai Dezhong, Ma Chaoxing, Fang Chonggong and others to a meeting.

"Lord Fang!" Seeing the prefect Fang Yizhi walk in, everyone got up and saluted him.

Speaking of which, Fang Yizhi is also one of the important figures of the Heaven and Earth Society, and most of the backbone forces of the Heaven and Earth Society in Guangdong and Guangxi are Fang Yizhi's old subordinates. Those people were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and after the Qing army occupied Guangdong and Guangxi, most of these people chose to hide incognito. After Fang Yizhi came out of the mountain, these people became active again.

Fang Yizhi walked to the Taishi chair in the middle of the lobby and made a gesture: "Everyone sit down!" ”

Everyone sat down, and Fang Yizhi turned his head and asked Wang Xinyu, who was sitting on his left: "Does General Bing Wang have a plan?" ”

"Back to my lord! General Ben already has a plan to break the enemy! Wang Xinyu replied with his fists clenched.

Fang Yizhi nodded solemnly: "This move is a tiger's mouth to pull teeth, if we are a little careless, we will lose all the plates!" If the plan is not thorough enough, the official still advises against taking such a big risk. ”

Wang Xinyu stood up, walked behind Fang Yizhi, pulled out the map hanging on the wall, picked up a small stick, pointed to the map and said: "The sailors of the Qing army are not afraid, we have four fourth-class ships, seven fifth-class ships and twenty-nine class-level ships, as well as a large number of clippers and small boats. Our fourth- and fifth-class ships can reach both Fengpu Harbor and Chau Tau Tsui in Nanhe; The water in ports such as Fuxu Port and Pipazhou is shallow, and our fourth- and fifth-class ships cannot enter, but sixth-class ships can enter. ”

Wang Xinyu firmly believes that with just eighteen Jinlu-class sixth-class ships, the Qing army's naval division warships can be swept away.

Fang Yizhi said: "The Tartar sailor is not to be afraid, but how to deal with the Tartar battery?" ”

Wang Xinyu pointed to the map and said, "Lord Fang, please see, here are the four forts at the mouth of the Pearl River, namely Fotangmen Fort, Jiyijiao Fort, Tung Chung Fort and Dahushan Fort. The four forts at the mouth of the Pearl River are easy for us to deal with, and as long as our special combat team gets closer, we can take them. Even if we don't risk it with special combat teams, our naval guns have a longer range than theirs! Can destroy turrets. The more troublesome ones are the Phoenix Fort, Yongning Fort, Guanyinshan Fort, Dongshui Fort, Hongshui Fort, Cheung Chau Fort and other forts in the Pearl River Estuary, which block the Pearl River and pose a great threat to our fleet! ”

Wang Xinyu paused, looked around at everyone present, and continued: "To deal with those forts, you need the cooperation of the people of the Heaven and Earth Society. On those forts, the largest of each fort is 200 to 400 people, and the Qing army still has empty salaries, and one fort is 100 to 200 people; On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, there are even fewer Qing soldiers who can still stay on the fort, we only need to arrange more than ten people, and with the cooperation of the Heaven and Earth Society, we can pull out a fort! If you pull out six batteries, you will only need more than 60 to 70 people. ”

"And what about after the battery is unplugged?" Fang Yizhi asked, "How did our people retreat?" ”

"Our warships entered the Pearl River, and after the special combat team succeeded, let the fishing boats of the Heaven and Earth Society pick them up first, and then send them to our big ship." Wang Xinyu replied.

In addition to the 40 British-built soft-sail warships, eight Spanish galleons and two Dutch Galen ships were also dispatched to act as transport ships, and eight Dafu ships, eleven Haicang ships, 16 Cangshan ships, and 12 centipede clippers were dispatched to cooperate in the operation.

As for the Tiandihui, all the fishing boats in the Pearl River and Xijiang River were organized, and there were about 300 fishing boats, of which more than 100 fishing boats were converted into fire attack boats.

The Guangdong Naval Division of the Qing Army has five battalions of the Biaodu Naval Division, the left and right battalions of Xiangshan, the left and right battalions of Shunde, the left and right battalions of Xinhui, the left and right battalions of Dapeng, the left and right battalions of Chixi, the right battalion of Qingyuan, the battalion of Guanghaizhai, and the battalion of Jingyuan, with more than 2,000 large and small ships. In addition to the sailors near Guangzhou, there are also Chaozhou sailors, Rao Ping sailors, etc., and there is also a Qiongzhou sailor that has been wiped out.

Although the Qing army had more than 2,000 large and small ships, the largest of those ships was more than 100 tons, and most of them were small boats.

The Chaozhou Naval Division and the Raoping Naval Division are not to be feared, and the key to eliminate is the main force of the Qing army, the Biaodu Naval Division, Guanghai, Jingyuan, Xiangshan, Xinhui, Dapeng and Shunde, which can conduct naval battles.

Wang Xinyu said: "When we entered the Pearl River Estuary, we temporarily let go of the Xiangshan Water Division, leaving the troop transport ship and the Dafu ship to monitor the Xiangshan Mountain Master at the Pearl River Estuary, and they would fight when they came out; After our main fleet entered the mouth of the Pearl River, it divided its forces and attacked and destroyed the five battalions of the Biaodu Water Division, the Guanghaizhai Battalion, the Jingyuan Battalion, the Shunde Battalion, the Dapeng Battalion, and the Xinhui Battalion stationed in Fengpu. In this way, the main force of the Qing army's naval division was basically wiped out, and they were unable to attack Qiongzhou within three years. We will discuss the specific division plan of the Navy separately, and we will mainly discuss the attack plan of the special combat team here. ”

As for the attack on the batteries, the four batteries in the open sea were attacked by night with special combat teams; The six forts in the inland river, with the cooperation of the Heaven and Earth Society, launched a surprise attack after approaching the forts.

The time of the attack is that the fleet will depart tomorrow, that is, on the twelfth. On the 14th, they arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River and made contact with the local Tiandi Society, which cooperated with the operation. On the night of the 14th, the special combat team launched a sneak attack on the forts on the periphery of the Pearl River Estuary and silently took the forts; In the early morning of the 15th, the Tiandihui fishing boats that cooperated with the operation cut the barrage lock and put the fleet into the mouth of the Pearl River. At dawn on the 15th, attacks began everywhere. The special combat team that infiltrated the Pearl River Delta, with the cooperation of the Heaven and Earth Society, seized the fort; The fleet, with the cooperation of the fishing boats of the Heaven and Earth Society, attacked the Qing army's naval divisions respectively, striving to annihilate the Qing army's naval divisions in one fell swoop.

In addition, the Lu Division smuggled and landed on the night of the 14th, and after entering the inland river, it took the fishing boats of the Tiandihui to arrive at Xiangshan on the road to Xinhui and Shunde and set up an ambush to intercept the Qing Army Lu Division that came to reinforce it.

"In this way, we will attack in several places simultaneously, otherwise the Tartars will be prepared when they hear the sound of artillery." Hood said.

Wang Xinyu said with a smile: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, firecrackers are being set off everywhere, and the Qing army is not so strict. If it weren't for the fact that it was too risky, I would still be interested in attacking the Pingnan Wangfu and the Guangdong Navy Admiral Yamen, and killing the two big traitors, Shang Kexi and Wu Liuqi! It's just that that's too risky, and we don't have to take it. ”

Just when all the plans were arranged, someone from Heaven and Earth would send someone to Qiongzhou.

"The situation has changed, the Tartar Emperor Shunzhi has died! This year, the Tartars will not have a Lantern Festival! "The person who came reported an amazing sudden situation to Wang Xinyu and others.

"What should I do?" Fang Yizhi asked, "We are all ready, and suddenly something like this happens!" Shunzhi is dead, and the Tartar Lantern Festival will not be completed, so they will not relax their guard, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do. ”

"How? Are we still fighting? Cai Jiuyi, Hong Xiguan, Hu Dedi, Cai Dezhong, Fang Chonggong and others all looked at Wang Xinyu and waited for him to make a decision.

For this attack, preparations have been made since the beginning of the year, and the special combat team members and agents have not had a good time for many years, and if they give up like this, they will really be unwilling.
