More than a dozen ships of the Far Eastern Combined Fleet are heading in the direction of Ocean Island. Li Ming stood on the bridge of the No. 1 landing ship, and he turned around and asked Zhou Chengdao, "How long do we have to reach Ocean Island?" ”

"It is expected to arrive tomorrow morning, and I just got in touch with Ocean Island yesterday, and it seems that Phi Island has not changed yet, and it should be in time."

Li Ming nodded and said, "The Tartars are really coming this time, once Liu Xingzhi leads the Tartars to the island, Huanglong may not be able to resist it." They all know about our existence on Ocean Island, whether it is Mao Wenlong in the past or Huanglong now. The reason why we didn't pay attention to it was because we had two large-scale migrations in Dongjiang, which made them feel that we were not here and that there was no threat to them.

They didn't dare to report our savings to the Ming court, because they were afraid of our strength and afraid that the Ming court would let them clear us, so we kept the well water from the river. If there is a change in the Dongjiang River, it will have an impact on our plans for next year, so the Dongjiang River must not be chaotic. ”

Wang Yaowu said with a smile: "Even if Liu Xingzhi leads the Tartars to the island and occupies the Dongjiang River, what can he do, it will be destroyed in one day." Take advantage of the situation to occupy the Dongjiang River, and it is best to even take Lushun at once. ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head and said: "Occupying Lushun is part of our plan to send troops to Shandong next year, and occupying Lushun now will produce a series of unpredictable things." The same goes for the Dongjiang River, and staying steady is in the best interest of our plans for next year. ”

At this time, a communications staff officer ran into the bridge and shouted: "Ocean Island is in an emergency, ......" Li Mingyi frowned, it seems that there has been a change in the Dongjiang River.

Li Ming read the content of the Ocean Island Emergency Telegram, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Huang Taiji is really in a hurry, the speed is fast enough." There's nothing wrong with Ocean Island. ”

Wang Yaowu next to him said loudly: "Please rest assured, commander, the defense of Ocean Island was personally deployed by me, and it was garrisoned by a platoon of the War Department and two companies of the Overseas Corps. Machine guns, artillery, and ammunition are very well supplied. And there are also several wooden mobile warships of the Maritime Guard, which are absolutely impregnable. ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then we will change our plan, Lao Wang, you will continue to go to Ocean Island with five wooden sea ships of the Jeju Coast Guard to help defend Ocean Island." The main force of the fleet changed course and went to Phi Island, and first took their lair. I swept away the tartars of the Iron Mountain. ”

At this time, Dachangshan Island was already in full swing, with the support of Liu Xingzhi's sailors and rebels' firearms, the Tartars were even more powerful, all the way like a bamboo, even Shicheng Island, Wangjiashan Island, Wupython Island, Zhangzi Island and Xiaochangshan Island, only Dachangshan Island is still struggling to support.

Before the rebellion, Liu Xingzhi used Huang Taiji to give him gold and silver, bribed the soldiers and generals on the islands, and also took out the oath he signed with Huang Taiji. So. The attraction to these generals of the Dongjiang River is greater. After all, they did not have to go to the Tartars, but continued to be in the independent kingdom of Dongjiang itself.

Since Yuan Chonghuan cut off the Dongjiang salary, blockaded the Bohai Bay, and forbade the righteous merchants to support Dongjiang Town, the Dongjiang River starved all over the wilderness. Later, Mao Wenlong was killed. Although Yuan Chonghuan did this privately, the Ming Court was hated the most by these soldiers in Dongjiang, and Chongzhen carried a black pot for Lao Yuan.

Therefore, the Dongjiang Town Army was very tempted in the face of Liu Xingzhi's bribery. Even some of the generals didn't agree. However, in the process of attacking the island, their mentality still changed. Once they are at a disadvantage. Soon resistance will be abandoned.

Liu Xingzhi also made a big deal of the generals in Dongjiang Town, no matter what happened before, he was not to blame for the past. Liu Xingzhi also sent several waves of messengers to Dachangshan Island to persuade the officers and soldiers guarding the island to surrender and make great promises to them. In the end, even Dachangshan Island, which had the fiercest resistance, finally fell into the hands of Liu Xingzhi.

There is one more main reason. Last year, the Far East packed up and took away thousands of middle- and lower-level grassroots generals in Dongjiang, and the most capable group of proud soldiers and fierce generals in Dongjiang Town were almost wiped out by the Far East. In addition, after Lao Yuan killed Mao Wenlong, many generals left the Dongjiang River. For example, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other generals went to Denglai to defect to Sun Yuanhua, and they were accompanied by nearly 20,000 Dongjiang Liao soldiers and Liao soldiers. Therefore, the current strength of the Dongjiang Army is not as good as before.

Leng Eli was also very excited to see several large islands in the Dongjiang River being broken one after another. Although the Tartars temporarily allowed Liu Xingzhi to establish a maritime kingdom on the Dongjiang River, he was subject to the Later Jin regime. But Huang Taiji also had a request, that is, Liu Xingzhi must help the Tartars capture Lushun, and Lushun must be handed over to Houjin in the future.

Although Lushun was important to the Ming and Later Jin regimes, it was indifferent to Liu Xingzhi. Since he defected to the Tartars, Denglai would inevitably cut off his support for the Dongjiang River, so whoever occupied Lushun would have no effect on him.

Soon after the capture of Dachangshan Island, Leng Eli urged Liu Xingzhi to organize sea ships to send to Lushun. Liu Xingzhi also knew that the Tartars were bound to Lushun, and in order to get the support of the Tartars, Liu Xingzhi must now exert his strength to help the Tartars capture Lushun.

Liu Xingzhi quickly dealt with all the matters of Dachangshan Island, and then immediately organized warships and prepared to send troops to cooperate with the Tartars of Jinzhou to attack Lushun.

But before leaving, one of the Tartar generals was looking at the map when he suddenly discovered Ocean Island. He was deeply puzzled, so he reported the matter to Leng Eli. As soon as Leng Erli heard this, he summoned Liu Xingzhi and asked him: "General Liu, you still have a big island in the Dongjiang River, what is it called Ocean Island, why didn't I see you attack?" ”

When Liu Xingzhi heard this, his heart suddenly sank. scolded in my heart, is Ocean Island a place where I dare to move, even when Mao Shuai was there, he was jealous and pretended not to see it. I'm going to find trouble with them, isn't that looking for death? In the future, if he wants to live a nourishing life in Dongjiang, he will have to rely on the help of these overseas people.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Ocean Island is located in a remote area, and there are few people on the island, and the guards there are an old acquaintance of mine. So please rest assured that Ocean Island is already under control. ”

Leng Erli listened to Liu Xingzhi's words, nodded in disbelief, and said: "Well, then you can arrange the dispatch of troops, we have already stationed troops under Lushun City in Jinzhou, and we will attack Lushun in the near future." ”

Liu Xingzhi was relieved to see that Leng Eli did not delve into the matter of Ocean Island. Those overseas people have been coming to Dongjiang for almost two years, and although they are powerful, as long as their interests are not touched, they should not interfere in Dongjiang's affairs. After all, they would rather spend a huge amount of money and immigrate more than 200,000 yuan, which shows that they have no idea about Dongjiang.

From the time he was ready to rebel, he thought about it. Not only can Ocean Island not be moved, but if it occupies the Dongjiang River by itself in the future, it will have to establish good relations with these overseas people.

These overseas people can immigrate more than 200,000 from the Dongjiang River, how much silver will it cost, just for food, then the sea will go. So Liu Xingzhi thought very well, and he was still counting on doing business with the Far East in the future.

The Combined Fleet was moving at full speed, and the next night, it came to the coast of Korea, with Phi Dao in front of it. Li Ming and the commanders of various units of the Combined Fleet gathered in the war room of the No. 1 landing ship to study the next battle plan.

Li Ming pointed to the map and said to everyone: "According to the Haiyang Island telegram, the Tatars occupied Snakepo, Pukou, Guoshan, Xuanshapu, Jiading, and Tieshan in Korea. However, with the fall of Phi Dao and Minami Island, it is estimated that the main force of the Tartars will land on Phi Dao and accompany them to attack the islands of the Dongjiang River. So now the Tartars along the coast of Korea may all gather at Iron Mountain.

I will take the No. 1 landing ship and four sailing ships to land at Iron Mountain tonight and sweep away the Tartars of Iron Mountain. Song Tao, you led two landing craft and three sailing ships to make a surprise attack on Phi Island tonight, and the battle must end before dawn tomorrow. After cutting off their back road, we will then completely annihilate the Tartars and Liu Xingzhi's rebels, fight for control of the Dongjiang Islands, and create conditions for our plan next year. Okay, let's get ready, and in two hours the action begins. ”

After listening to Li Ming's words, everyone responded with a bang and went back to prepare. Song Tao walked up to Li Ming and said with a smile: "Dude, can you discuss something?" ”

Li Ming turned his head and glanced at him, knowing in his heart what Song Tao wanted to do. So he scolded with a smile: "What nonsense, you can do whatever you want, do you want to disobey orders, be careful of my military method." ”

As soon as Song Tao saw Li Ming say this, he said with a hippie smile: "Brother, I beg you, you let me go to Tieshan, there should be few Tartars on Phi Island, it's not fun!" ”

Li Ming glared and scolded: "Fuck off, you still learn to pick fat and thin." In the next few days, there will be so many Tartars on the sea, you are in a hurry now. Hurry up and organize the troops, if you delay the business, be careful that I will clean you up. ”

In the middle of the night, the wharf on Phi Koh was filled with all kinds of military ships and merchant ships. Some time ago, Liu Xingzhi used stratagem to seize a large number of Dongjiang warships, and thousands of Dongjiang sailors and soldiers were also imprisoned on the island.

Liu Xingzhi took his main force and went to the Great and Small Changshan Islands with a few thousand Tartars. At present, there are less than 1,000 rebels on Phi Dao, who are responsible for guarding thousands of Dongjiang Navy soldiers and maintaining order on Phi Dao.

The two landing craft slowly rushed to the booth near the pier of Phi Island, and Song Tao personally led two garrison companies to form an assault team and landed on the beachhead of Phi Island. They took advantage of the darkness to reach the pier of Phi Dao. The commandos were armed with two 70mm infantry guns, two Type 29 water-cooled heavy machine guns, and a machine gun squad at the War Department.

More than a dozen Ming troops from Dongjiang Town, who were guarding the pier of Phi Dao, were dozing off, and Song Tao led the assault team to take control of the pier of Phi Dao without even firing a single shot.

After the assault team occupied the pier, they first set up several machine-gun positions and two artillery firing positions, and then lit a bunch of raging flames at the pier. After a while, several huge sail shadows emerged from the night and slowly sailed towards the dock. (To be continued......)
