Chapter 1032: Hope Oilfield (6)
Xu Yuzhuo is currently the commander-in-chief of the Zhangquan Naval Division, commanding the most elite fleet in the Fujian Naval Division, and has also commanded the Ming Army's naval division to coordinate and cooperate in many military operations led by the Haihan Army, and is also familiar with the high-level military of the Haihan Army. Last year, when Wang Tom commanded the Haihan Navy to attack Miyako Island, Xu Yuzhuo also accompanied the Ming army as a military observer to watch the battle.
After hearing Xu Yuchou's intention, Tom Wang gently comforted: "General Xu don't worry, our fleet is just passing through Penghu and going to Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province to replace the local garrison. During this period, it will not call at the port on the coast of Fujian, nor will it disturb the local people. ”
Wang Tom did not mention the real purpose of the fleet's trip to Zhejiang, nor did he reveal the plan to start on the island of Taiwan next. These two matters are directly supervised by the Executive Committee, and the level of secrecy is also the highest, and before the phased results are achieved, the Haihan military does not want to let the Fujian government get the news for the time being.
Xu Yuzhuo was relieved after hearing this, because he also knew that the possibility of the Haihan using force against Fujian was very small, and even if the Haihan people were ambitious to start a war against the Ming Dynasty one day, it would definitely be Guangdong, which was closer to Hainan Island, to suffer first. As for the purpose of this fleet going to Zhejiang to change guards or whether it has other plans, it is not a matter for Xu Yuzhuo to worry about. I heard that there are a lot of people up and down in Zhejiang officialdom recently, and it is very likely that Haihan is beginning to make efforts to understand the dissidents in the local officialdom, and this transfer of the fleet may also be to maintain enough external pressure on the local government.
However, as an ally of Haihan, Xu Yu still had to say a few polite words: "General Wang's words can be said to the outside world, if your fleet needs anything during the passage through Fujian, I will definitely help you." ”
In the past, when the Haihan army went to Fujian to carry out military operations, it was true that it would not be polite to the government here, and the Fujian officials not only had to contribute people and efforts, but also had to pay money and food most of the time to bear part of the consumption of the Haihan army, and the reward was the status of "allies" and the opportunity to participate in the military operations led by the Haihan. Although it seems that the Fujian government has paid more, but in fact, it is also regarded as taking what they need, compared with other provinces in the Daming Haijiang, the combat power of the Fujian Navy Division is definitely one of the best, which is mainly due to the long-term cooperation with Haihan in the military field.
Xu Xinsu was a calculating businessman before entering the officialdom, of course, it was impossible to do a loss-making business, although he gave Haihan many benefits in the military, but thanks to the South China Sea route opened up by Haihan, the sea trade under Xu Xinsu's control also made a lot of money, and the benefits obtained even far exceeded the military payment. Moreover, Xu Xinsu has been in the officialdom for a few years, and he also deeply understands that his current status comes from the support of Haihan, and helping Haihan is actually helping himself, and the fundamental nature of these two things is the same. Therefore, whether it is the Penghu base or the passage of Haihan troops, Xu Xinsu is willing to pay a little more silver to consolidate the relationship with Haihan.
Although Wang Tom said that there was no need for the assistance of the Fujian government this time, Xu Yuzhuo still donated 200 taels of rice and 1,000 taels of silver to Haihan in his personal name as military funds. Wang Tom knew that if he didn't accept this gift, he was afraid that the Xu family would not be able to feel at ease, so he accepted the gift list and sent Xu Yuzhuo away with kind words and comfort.
Despite the absolute superiority of the task force in terms of strength, Wang Tom did not give the order to march into Miaoli immediately out of prudent consideration. He first learned about the general situation from the Miaoli garrison through the radio, and then began to prepare relevant war materials. Considering the hydrological situation of Houlong Creek, the flagship would certainly not be able to dock at the coastal camp, and the local adversaries were only operating on land, so there was no need to send large warships to deal with them. In addition, the local climate and environment cannot be ignored, and it is necessary to prepare a large number of rainproof equipment and medicinal materials to dispel wind and dehumidification, so as to prevent the troops from suffering from various diseases and large-scale non-combat attrition after entering the area due to the lack of adaptation to water and soil.
However, drawing up a battle plan has become a relatively simple part of preparing for war. In addition to not being familiar with the geographical situation, the Haihan army has an advantage in other aspects, and basically does not need to think too much about tactics, just push and crush the past. Given the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, there is really little possibility for the indigenous tribes to turn around in a confrontation on a frontal battlefield. Now that the troops have arrived here, Wang Tom is not in a hurry to do it in the next two days, and plans to wait for all preparations to stop, and then wipe out the indigenous tribes in one fell swoop with a thunderous force.
"Tom Wang arrived in Miaoli three days later. Bai Kesi shared the telegram he had just received with Morgan: "At that time, the combat operation will be jointly commanded by you and Wang Tom. ”
Although Tom Wang's establishment is in the navy, his current military rank is indeed a little higher than Morgan's, even if he directly takes over the local military command. Of course, Morgan didn't care about this kind of detail, he and Tom Wang were excellent friends before the crossing, and being able to cross half the world together to participate in this back-and-forth crossing operation already shows their relationship, and being able to command the battle together is undoubtedly the best arrangement for them.
The operation plan for the elimination of the indigenous tribes in the Miaoli area was planned by Morgan, and the main targets were the Maoli Society in the mountains on the west bank of Houlong Creek and the Dajia Society in the upper reaches of Houlong Creek, which is located east of the oil field camp. After pulling out these two nails, I hope that the oilfield project will be able to enter the normal operation stage, otherwise Haihan, as a defensive party, will have to be nervous every night to prevent the sneak attack of the natives, and there will be no time to put more energy on the oil project.
After the drilling began that day, it was not smooth at first, and there was no oil after more than 60 meters of drilling. Although this drilling depth is not large, it is not consistent with the oil field information that Haihan has. You must know that the first person who discovered this oil field dug it out of his own land with a hoe, and the shallow burial can be seen.
Tian Yeyou saw that the situation was not right, so he decisively stopped drilling, Zhang Luo changed a place, and spent two days to re-set up the drilling rig, and sure enough, as soon as he drilled down, he saw the oil, and immediately quickly instructed the workers to lower the casing, pour cement for cementing, and then temporarily close the wellhead. The main reason for the lack of immediate extraction is that the supporting refining facilities and the required storage containers are not ready, and there is no way to start full-scale production at this time.
