Without Hao Fenglou here, it is indeed always a mess.

It's Hao Fenglou here, although he learned a lot of news from various emergency reports, his heart finally fell.

Lang Son is moving forward in the way he expected, and then it is time to really fight with the imperial court.

At the Pearl River port, the first ships from Haiphong finally arrived.

There were more than a hundred of these requisitioned ships, of all kinds, some of which were old-fashioned fortune ships, whose hulls were not sturdy and could only sail along the coast, and there were also newly imitated and improved seagoing ships, which were much smaller in hull, but had a certain ability to withstand storms, but the carrying capacity was much smaller.

The arrival of countless ships not only brought 5,000 Langshan troops, so that the number of Langshan troops in the city of Guangzhou increased to more than 12,000 people, in addition, there were also the newly incorporated Xiangshan Wei and the surrendered Guangzhou Wei, the number of people, however, after excluding the old and weak, only 5,000.

Not only that, but the ships also brought the most important supplies, piles of firearms, gunpowder, food, broken promises, dried meat, quilts, military uniforms, and medicinal materials......

Almost anything imaginable, these ships, have brought a fair amount of weight.

So, everyone began to unload the goods in full swing here, and transport them into the city of Guangzhou, if you have a heart, you will definitely be able to find that these materials are enough for the Langshan army in the city of Guangzhou, to meet the needs of half a year, and this is only the first batch, the shipping industry guild there, specially organized a fleet, the Langshan army here for unlimited supply.

Hao Fenglou personally accepted the list. Right now he has a lot to do, on the one hand. It is to appease the local affection, on the other hand. Ordering people to spy on the military situation, he could almost imagine that the whole of Guangdong was already in chaos, and the state capitals had fallen into a situation of complete chaos.

And the fact is indeed as Hao Fenglou imagined, the whole Guangdong has already shaken, and they naturally will not rise up and change the flag at the head of the city, but Hao Fenglou has brought them pressure. Everyone knows that the war is going to start, and the local officials also know that unless the court rushes to help, with their strength, they are almost vulnerable in front of the Hao family's army. At that time, whether to die righteously or steal life has become a difficult choice.

After all, not everyone is like the envoy. can ignore his relatives, and choose to be alone and become Hao Fenglou's lackey.

But they were clearly lucky. Because on the one hand, the army of the imperial court has already raised eyebrows. 300,000 border troops have already left, and in addition to that. There are also soldiers and horses from Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, etc., and the guards in Guangdong have also begun to move, before and after, there will be 500,000 troops and horses, and 500,000 troops will gather in Guangdong, and the prosperity of the army can be seen.

And more importantly, the legendary thief Hao Fenglou obviously has no interest in raiding the provinces of Guangdong, he actually has a lot of time, holding a large amount of silver, recruiting people everywhere, and building fortifications.

That's right, Hao Fenglou's strategic purpose is very simple, he knows Zhu Gaosui's character very well, in the eyes of this son of heaven, the real threat, I'm afraid that only Hao Fenglou, and it is precisely because Hao Fenglou is here that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court did not go to Guangxi, but flocked to Guangzhou, obviously Zhu Gaosui was afraid that once he used troops against Liangshan with all his might, he would be copied by Hao Fenglou in Guangdong, after all, taking Guangdong would threaten Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the lifeblood of the imperial court, so for the imperial court, In order to prevent Hao Fenglou from reversing the shape in Guangzhou, then the only way to divide the troops was to divide the troops into two ways, on the one hand, to order the Mu family to strictly defend the land of Liangshan and Guilin, and on the other hand, to mobilize a large army to completely eliminate the enemy in Guangzhou.

Hao Fenglou knew in his heart that if he stayed in Guangzhou for one more day, the pressure on Liangshan would be reduced, and he would consume one more day here, and after Langshan was mobilized, his strength would increase by one point.

The success or failure of the entire battle situation does not lie in Guangxi, nor in Langshan, but in Guangdong, where there are 90,000 elite soldiers, and there is a steady stream of soldiers, and within a year, with all the resources integrated by the entire Hao family, countless manpower and material resources, it is not difficult to train 500,000 elite soldiers.

The hundreds of thousands of horses in the hands of the Mu family certainly brought great pressure to the whole mountain, but if you really want to talk about it, they are at most in a stalemate with the Hao family, and the next battle of Guangzhou is related to the fate of everyone.

The key is in Guangzhou, since this is the case, Hao Fenglou must take precautions.

He wants to build the whole of Guangzhou into a fortress, and he wants to turn this place into an impregnable military town, and use more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attract hundreds of thousands of elites in the imperial court.

In order to implement this plan, the first thing Hao Fenglou has to do is to ensure that there are enough reserves in the city to ensure that the logistics can be smooth, and in this regard, Guangzhou City does have a great advantage, it is backed by the Pearl River port, and the ships of coastal defense can easily transport a large number of supplies here, even if the war situation is unfavorable, these people can also retreat by sea.

In addition, it is a fortification, in order to ensure this, Hao Fenglou mobilized almost all the forces in the city, the surrendered political envoy, but a real person, immediately with countless people, around the mountains and quarrying, near the city of Guangzhou, to build fortifications, those people, are requisitioned, do not need wages, but the Langshan army provides rations, rations are still a lot, at least it is full, for the manpower of this era, this is already an extremely rare thing.

There are many types of fortifications, including bunkers, stone forts, and trenches, and so on, and there is a special engineer battalion in Lang Son Wei, but because of the large amount of work, it is often a sapper battalion with a dozen civilians to work, they are responsible for supervising and standardizing, and at the same time measuring the size to meet the standards of the engineer battalion.

The battalion officer of the engineer battalion is a very young guy, but his qualifications are not low, because he participated in the battle of Siam, he was wounded in battle, missing an eye, and was laughed at as a one-eyed tiger, but this tiger, but it is a tiger of the ground tiger, he deals with mud and stones every day, he is a very delicate person, the engineer battalion has a special operation process, such as the bunker, which should ensure what soil is excavated, how to reinforce, how much strength the top layer needs, these numbers, he is meticulous, and the fort, And where to set up, you must ensure that the wind is downwind or headwind, and what the surrounding terrain is like.

The one-eyed tiger has to inspect every day, and the suburbs of Guangzhou City are not small, where to set up what fortifications, he personally took the idea, His Royal Highness the King of Pingnan, almost ignored this, just supervised the progress, there is such a hand-shaking shopkeeper above, for the one-eyed tiger, I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate, unfortunately, this heavy burden is on this battalion officer, but fortunately, the one-eyed tiger thinks that in the sapper construction of this piece, the entire Lang Son army, he is also unsurpassed, Without a layman pointing fingers at any time, although there is a lot of pressure at the moment, it can give him enough room to play.

In order to ensure that there are no accidents in the war, the yamen of Guangzhou began to re-register the population, fortunately the previous yellow book is retained, how many craftsmen are in the city, how many households, how many medical care are very detailed, which provides a lot of convenience for the requisition of manpower in the army, and in fact, Hao Fenglou is obviously not polite at all, anyway, outside the Guangzhou Mansion, the imperial court is preparing for war, and the requisition of the people is not polite, in this Guangzhou city, it is impossible for them to be exempt from vulgarity, obviously here, every manpower, are extremely precious, because they have to face ten times or a hundred times the imperial court military horses.

"My lord, the latest urgent report."

The place where Hao Fenglou stays is the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, where many people enter and exit every day, and now it is much more lively than the theater.

And now, the military intelligence department has sent an urgent message.

Hao Fenglou took it, he slept a little late last night, so he took a nap early in the morning, and finally recovered some of his spirits, and after opening the emergency report, Hao Fenglou couldn't help but nod and said, "It seems that Zhang Fu is here." ”

Zhang Fu, Hao Fenglou has a lot of dealings with him, this is a child of a family, his family lineage is actually much stronger than Hao Fenglou, if it weren't for Hao Fenglou's sudden rise, in the Yongle Dynasty, he must be a shining star, but right now, he looks disgraced.

This benevolent brother, Hao Fenglou doesn't dare to underestimate at all, although Zhang Fu is also quite young, but Hao Fenglou knows it well. A commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, in fact, what is needed is not necessarily what means of strategizing and making decisions, because there are so many people, where do you need to march and arrange the formation when you start a war, as long as you follow the step by step and launch an attack, a truly qualified commander is powerful in prestige, because only with enough prestige can you suppress those Qiu Ba under your head, if even the Qiu Ba under your head are not convinced by you, this battle will not be able to fight.
