Xia Nan said in a deep voice: "If you cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots!" Our family background is thinner than the Zheng family, and once we fail, it will be an abyss, and as long as the Zheng family is not uprooted, they can afford to lose the war. www.biquge.info The Zheng family has been operating in Fujian for many years and is deeply rooted, and if they only knock out a few boats in their center, as long as the Zheng brothers are still there, they can still make a comeback with the wealth accumulated over the years. Back then, Zheng Zhilong was beaten by the opponent so that there were only a few boats and a few hundred people left, didn't he make a comeback? ”

Of course, there is another sentence that he didn't say, so as not to be regarded as a god: Zheng Zhilong has a son who is angry, and he should be in his teens now, if he is left alone, when he is a little older, and with the assistance of the Zheng clan, with the strong inertia of history, it will become a climate in the future. The goal of the Qiongzhou camp in the future is not to conquer the whole country in Fujian and Guangzhou, but to dominate the whole country, and when he goes north to the mainland in the future and deals with the Ming court and the Later Jin, he will not have the time to deal with this future national surname. In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong was disgraced, and he could not follow in the footsteps of the Tartars.

However, all of you here are smart people, just a little bit of it, even if you don't consider the variable of Zheng Chenggong, the Zheng family's strong foundation is not comparable to the newly rising Qiongzhou battalion, the Zheng family's fleet must be defeated, and the Zheng family's people must be eradicated together.

Sima De asked, "If Anping is defeated, what will the Zheng clan do?" ”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Xia Nan's eyes: "Naturally, all of them will be executed, and no one will be left." ”

It sounds cruel, but everyone takes it for granted. It's not that the Qiongzhou battalion has not done anything to destroy the door, when it started, even the escort team was not established, and dozens of salt ding with spears wiped out the whole family of Master Hu. In the face of such a war, any mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Wei Lianheng proposed: "Since we want to attack Anping, then the city defense of Anping Town, the number of people of the Zheng family, and the route that can retreat must be fully informed, so as not to disrupt the war, let the Zheng family run away, and the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

Xia Nan nodded: "This is natural, we don't fight unprepared battles." It just so happened that Wang Qinian and Liang Dong both broke into the Zheng family, and the information about Anping was provided by Wang Qinian, and the information of the Zheng family's fleet was handed over to Liang Dong on the left side. ”

Wei Lianheng continued: "The distribution of troops in the army must be properly arranged. If the main forces of the Zheng family are in the city of Zhongzuo, then our main direction of attack is also in Zhongzuo. The subordinates suggested that Anping be handed over to the guard team and the special combat team, and for the sake of safety, one company each from the first and second battalions would be transferred, and the rest of the troops would be placed on the side of the center and left. ”

Sima De asked: "How many people are there in the guard team and the special combat team now?" ”

Wei Lianheng replied: "When it was first built, there were less than 100 people, but now after expansion, the guard team has a full strength of 100 people and the special combat team has 200 people. ”

Sima De thought for a while: "With the two companies transferred, five hundred people should be enough to attack an unsuspecting town......"

He walked to the hand-drawn map hanging on the wall, pointed to the vicinity of the Golden Gate, and said, "The information provided by Wang Qinian and Liang Dong is only a detail, and the overall attack line will not change much." Let's anchor at Nanao Island in advance and wait for the most suitable time. As long as the main force of the Zheng family is nearby, they will attack. Whether it is a chaotic battle at the port or a battle on the sea of Kinmen, in short, the main fleet of the Zheng family must be annihilated in one fell swoop. Even if there is still a boat that slips through the net, as long as Anping slaughters all the Zheng clansmen, without the Zheng family's people taking the lead, it is just a plate of loose sand, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Xia Nan applauded: "Well said, Mr. Sima's overall view is good, that's the idea." ”

Sima De modestly said, "General Xie praises falsely." Then he continued, "When it comes to the details, the water master is naturally pouring out, but what about the Lu master?" The troops are all dispatched, with or without artillery? ”

Wei Lianheng replied: "Light mountain artillery must be brought, as for field artillery, it depends on how many land troops Zheng Zhilong has, and whether there are any cannons that can pose a threat to us......"

Murong Longcheng said: "As far as I know about the Zheng family, except for the short and heavy guns we sold them, whether on the ship or on land, there are no decent artillery, but there are a lot of birds - the Zheng family has a black musket team of about 1,000 people, which should not be underestimated. ”

Wei Lianheng nodded: "Since there is no artillery, we will not bring field artillery, after all, it is inconvenient to transport when landing, which affects the speed of the march." Although I have no experience in attacking from the water to the land, since the ancients had the method of attacking half-crossing, it is said that the faster the landing, the better, and the lighter the firearms you carry, the better. ”

Sima De concluded: "Well, I don't bring heavy artillery, only light artillery. There is also a question, after attacking the shore, to what extent? There is also Tong'an County Ya near the city of Zhongzuo, which is close at hand, is it to beat the rabbit or let it go? Anping Town is not only the Zheng family, but also the local people, the situation is chaotic at that time, it is difficult to tell, whether to only hit the Zheng family and do nothing to the people, or would rather kill a thousand by mistake and not let one person slip through the net? ”

"As long as the Tong'an County Ya does not resist, it will not be touched. After all, attacking a guerrilla attack on Zhao'an and attacking the county government are two different things. As for Anping Town...... "Xia Nan hesitated, "If the Zheng family takes advantage of the chaos to blend in with the people, or even the people help them escape...... It's better to kill by mistake than to let go! ”

Sima De nodded: "With the general's words, you know what to do." When are we going to do it? ”

Xia Nan estimated: "Zheng Zhiguan returned empty-handed, it will take more than ten days to arrive in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong will definitely react after learning the news, no matter if he wants to warn or beat me, or even directly come to the happy master to ask for the guilt, he will mobilize the fleet and gather manpower, it will take ten days and half a month, so calculated, the Zheng family's fleet will gather near the Zhongzuo Institute in about a month, and we will take this opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Zheng family." ”

Speaking of which, Xia Nan thought regretfully, if only the kind of heavy artillery that Lin Weiye said could catch up with this battle. I don't know how Lin Weiye's cannon casting is progressing?

In the arsenal cannon casting workshop on the bank of the Wenlan River, next to a thick barrel with a built-in return tube, Lin Weiye sneezed, and said with a smile to the steward Wang Yihammer next to him: "It seems that who is talking about me." ”

Wang Yihammer quipped: "This point shouldn't be that Mrs. Lin thinks about Master Lin, probably because the general complains about why this cannon hasn't come out yet......" He didn't expect that he would say a prophecy, and he was right.

Lin Weiye smiled: "I didn't want to see his resentful eyes, so I simply hid here." In fact, our experiment is almost complete, and there is a successfully cooled barrel mold. The key is to find the most accurate data, so that future cannon casting does not depend on luck......"
