Not long after Feng Haohan received Lu Fuhai's warning, Mo Canghai also received corresponding information.
"Good guy," he twitched his beard excitedly, "it's finally here."
Although he gritted his teeth in pain, Mo Canghai ignored it.
"Where are our eye ships now?"
The guard walked a few steps quickly and came to the large chart on the wall.
"Sir, our eyeships are the same as in the past. They are deployed from west to east along the junction of the North Sea and the East China Sea, all the way from Unjue Offshore to Baekje Offshore."
"In addition, each ship is twenty miles apart, and the crew members have all learned Pinyin, and windmills have been set up on board for communication. As long as a ship detects an abnormality, we will receive accurate news within half an hour."
"That's right." Mo Canghai nodded and asked: "That boy Ji Heitu must have been promoted. Where is his ship?"
"Back to your lord, Ji Heitu has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and has now been promoted to captain, in charge of twenty eye ships."
"As for their location," the guard said, somewhere in the middle of the sea, "they should be swimming around here."
"Very good." Mo Canghai was very satisfied.
With this vigilant black boy around, it would be almost impossible for the Japanese pirate fleet to sneak attack Jiuyuan County silently.
"Where is the East China Sea barrier now?" Mo Canghai asked again.
When the guard heard this, he quickly put a mark on the chart.
"Sir, the East China Sea Barrier is now divided into five parts."
He first clicked on the Baekje Peninsula.
"First, General Xiao, Li Hebai and other major generals are still stationed in Baekje, trying to cut off the connection between the Japanese pirates' mainland and the Sishan Islands as much as possible."
"Secondly, General Lu Yulong and Lu are leading the fleet south to prepare to guard Sulan County."
"Third and fourth, General Lu is stationed at the base camp of Pinghai County to ensure the logistical support of the entire East China Sea barrier and the dispatch of all forces. At the same time, the fleet is dispatched to prepare to attack Ishikawa Taki's home base - the Sishan Islands."
"Fifth," the little guard said, his eyes falling on the sea slightly north of Jiuyuan County.
"Since the defense battle of Dinghai pier last year, General Yang Miaoyang has been leading the fleet to blockade the North Sea here to prevent the Sishan Islands from going north to support the Beihai Customs or to prevent Masato Nei from escaping southward through the sea."
cough!
Someone coughed slightly.
"Master Mo, if something happens to Jiuyuan County or Huayang County, General Yang's fleet can also go south to support it, right?"
Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but turn their heads in search of fame.
It turned out to be Lin Hanmo, the forward general of the Central Army Corps.
In the battle to defend the Dinghai Pier last year, the Central Army Corps led by him suffered repeated defeats, with a disastrous record.
Afterwards, Lin Hanmo simply put aside his military rank and personal dignity and went to Jiuyuan County to humbly learn from Mo Canghai's northern garrison.
Mo Canghai shook his head, "Not necessarily."
"Yang Miao's first duty is to seal off the entire Beihai."
"If Masato Nei has been obediently staying in Beiguan and has no intention of escaping south through Beihai, then Yang Miao will be able to go south to help defend Jiuyuan and Huayang County."
"But..." Lin Hanmo hesitated.
He walked to the chart and pointed to the location of Yang Miao's fleet.
"Lord Mo, as the saying goes, don't let others snore on the side of the couch. Since the Japanese pirates are very likely to attack Huayang and Jiuyuan County again, they certainly cannot tolerate a fleet like Yang Miao's eyeing the north."
"If, I say if," said this, Lin Hanmo glanced around the people in the conference room, "if Genjing Masato goes south from Beiguan at this time and attacks the Sishan Islands from north to south, wouldn't General Yang be in danger?
?”
Hum hum.
Mo Canghai sneered, "They don't dare!"
Why?
However, before Lin Hanmo opened his mouth, galloping horse hooves and whining sounds sounded outside the door.
"Sir," a guard quickly ran in, "a guard from the Gu family's caravan came outside the camp. He brought a handwritten letter from the caravan's chief Tie Shu requesting to see you!"
oh?
Mo Canghai and Zhang Yang looked at each other in surprise.
"This is our old friend, please invite him in."
Especially Zhang Yang is even more sad.
Last year, he was stationed at Dinghai Wharf and almost ran out of things in his hands. If Tieshu hadn't brought a batch of goods over in time, Huayang County would have been captured by Tufei Yongren.
After a while, a dark man covered in sweat walked in quickly.
"Gu family caravan guard Yuan Dabao has met Mr. Mo and Mr. Zhang."
The two nodded, and Mo Canghai smiled: "Looking at how sweaty you are, sit down and drink some water first."
"Thank you, Sir." Yuan Dabao was flattered and gulped down a glass of water.
"Where is your caravan now, but what happened?"
Yuan Dabao quickly handed over Tieshu's letter and explained in detail the situation they encountered in Huayang County.
"This is unreasonable," Zhang Yang, who was most familiar with the situation, was the first to sit still.
Dinghai Terminal is one of the top five deep-water terminals in Yunchui. When there were no Japanese pirates intrusion in the past, a large number of people and goods passed through here every year to other places in Yunchui and even neighboring countries.
Therefore, not only wide post roads and roads were built around the dock, but also warehouses covering a large area were built.
And those warehouses can accommodate almost half of the Central Army Corps.
"What on earth is Feng Haohan thinking?" Zhang Yang yelled angrily, "Even if those warehouses can't be accommodated, aren't there still many open spaces nearby where you can camp? Why do you have to be stuck on the post road? Isn't he planning to set up a card to collect customs duties?"
Cough cough cough.
The conference room was filled with coughs.
"What are you coughing for?" Zhang Yang has always been very talkative, but now he was very unhappy, "Is there something wrong with your throat?"
As he was talking, he felt something was wrong. He subconsciously followed everyone's strange gazes and immediately realized what was happening.
Although this is the conference room of their northern garrison, there happens to be a forward general from the Central Army Corps.
Ahem.
Zhang Yang had a stern look on his face and couldn't help but cough.
Lin Hanmo's face turned red. He took Tieshu's handwriting and read it. He was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed.
They knew clearly that the Gu family's caravan was transporting military supplies that were urgently needed in the north, but the Central Army Corps was stuck and refused to let them go. Either they tried to buy at a low price, or they openly asked for bribes...
well!
Lin Hanmo let out a long sigh, feeling sad in his heart.
After a while, he came back to his senses and raised his hand to Mo Canghai.
"Master Mo, Master Zhang and all colleagues, it has been half a year since the general came out. It is time to return to the Central Army Corps."
"During this period, I have been grateful for your humility and generous teachings, and I will keep them in my heart. I hope that I can fight side by side with you on the battlefield in the future, and fight bloody battles..."
In fact, Lin Hanmo had received orders from Feng Haohan more than once, asking him to go back as soon as possible.
However, the East China Sea was peaceful at that time, and Lin Hanmo's military power had been almost eliminated.
It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not, so he hasn't come back yet.
Now that the East China Sea War is imminent, Lin Hanmo at least still has the status of a forward general of the Central Army Corps, and it is indeed inappropriate to stay outside.
"Well, after I return to the Central Army, I will definitely find a way to get the caravan north as soon as possible, and at the same time persuade General Feng to give up the post road to ensure smooth flow in the north and south directions."
