Originally, there were less than 4,000 people in the old army of Dian Hou. Later, after Yizhou was conquered by the Zhou Dynasty, many of the defeated troops came to defect with nowhere to go. Zheng Baiqing also stayed behind, and in addition, he recruited some from the local area, so there were
Such a large scale.
But Lingzhou Island is still too small after all, and the port is not big enough. Ten thousand soldiers is already the limit, otherwise he can recruit more soldiers!
Of course, this was all approved by Zhuge Xiaosheng, and all the food and salary for the Lingzhou Guards were provided by Yan Yun, otherwise they would not be able to support so many soldiers.
The reason for raising so many soldiers is of course not just to defend Lingzhou. He is afraid that the boss will also intend to expand and develop in Nanyang in the future, so Zheng Baiqing has long begun to study the situation in Nanyang and collect various intelligence, and he is concerned about
The focus is exactly on Andinisa.
He believed that if Lingzhou did not expand, it would be fine. If Lingzhou did expand, the first priority should be to capture Antinisha, the theoretical "terrain without one". As long as it occupied this place, it would be equivalent to establishing a firm foothold in Nanyang.
!
Cheng Ping led the fleet out for exercises at a short distance. The imaginary target of attack was Andinisa. After discussion, the two of them concluded that with the current strength of the Lingzhou Guard, if they wanted to win and defeat the Javanese army stationed on Andinisa, it would be better to defeat them.
There are considerable difficulties.
The main reason is that it is single and weak. Even if it can be captured, it will be difficult to hold it unless Yanyun sends a fleet to support it.
But this is also quite difficult. After all, Yan and Yun are thousands of miles apart...
But I didn’t expect that the boss actually led a large-scale fleet to come here in person! I was overjoyed at first, but I heard that the boss and the others were just here to cooperate with the Japanese navy, and they also asked us, the Lingzhou Guard, to be their
The rear and support staff were shocked again. Boss, aren't you trying to get married and lead a wolf into the house? I will never obey your orders!
After listening to Wu Hanming's explanation, I was half-convinced. How could the Japanese be so stupid? They came all the way here just to avenge their humiliation, and then they left right after beating them? Why did the donkey kick the emperor's head?
What Zheng Baiqing doesn't know is that the Japanese are not stupid, but they are not awesome now. This time they traveled thousands of miles to attack Java just to appease the emotions of their citizens and maintain the stability of the DPRK. It was a passive act.
If this is a plan, it is also a plan to defeat the enemy.
In this case, Zheng Baiqing and Cheng Pingyuan also became active. At the joint operations meeting, they shared all the information they had about Antinisha with Ren Haitang.
Originally, Ren Haitang and the others also conducted some pre-war reconnaissance on Andinisha, but compared with the information provided by the Lingzhou Guard, it was too rough, so they simply abandoned it.
There are a total of one hundred and eighty-two Javanese warships in Andinissa, including fifty-three large warships, seventy medium-sized warships, and about fifty small warships. The number of soldiers, number of artillery pieces, and tonnage of each large and medium-sized warship are
Details such as size, armor thickness, etc. are all marked with pictures.
They even know how many warships they mobilize for patrol every day, how many warships are resting in several ports, the distribution of shore-based firepower, the number of local garrisons, and the amount of food stored.
Knowing your enemy and yourself means winning every battle. Now the comparison of strength between the two sides is clear at a glance. It cannot be said that the disparity is particularly huge, but victory is guaranteed.
Mainly this was a raid. The Javanese never expected that Japan and Yanyun would send such a large fleet to attack them, let alone that the two families would join forces to fight. So even if they knew now that a disaster might be coming, it was already too late.
.
Soldiers are valuable and quick. Both Ren Haitang and Wu Hanming believed that they should launch an attack as soon as possible. They planned to start the battle in three days and strive for a quick victory to avoid long nights and dreams.
The code name for this battle is "Hurricane", which means it will be swept away directly...
Before the hurricane came, Paradise Island was as calm as ever, with a gentle night breeze and the fragrance of coconut trees. It had been like a dream for more than ten years, but things had changed.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Ren Haitang's thoughts suddenly flew back to decades ago, when Li Wanjiang and himself were so young.
"Sister, you are finally back." Ren Tiantang saw his sister and had so many words to say that he didn't even know where to start."
"I have really worked hard for you these years." Ren Haitang, such a hard-hearted person, shed tears.
"Bijiang, why are you still standing there? Why don't you come and see your mother soon?" Ren Tiantang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and reminded Ren Bijiang, who was in a daze, to recognize his relatives.
"My child pays homage to his mother." Ren Pijiang knelt down on the ground.
"You are so old..." Ren Haitang actually has no feelings for this son, because he is both the son of his lover and the son of his enemy. When he saw him, he looked like Li Wanjiang, and thousands of emotions surged into his heart.
, but also love less and hate more.
Ren Pijiang actually had no feelings for his mother, because he had never seen her since he was a child. In his heart, his mother was already dead, and he only had his aunt as a relative in the world.
Even if she is his biological mother, she has no nurturing kindness for him. In fact, she abandoned him!
So when mother and son met, not only did nothing touching happen, but they were also a little embarrassed...
Xiao Chen was also embarrassed. He really hated himself for knowing so many secrets. If he didn't tell this secret, he would be sorry to Bijiang, but if he told him, it would be too cruel to Bijiang.
This is why he promised Ren Haitang to keep this secret for the time being.
Even if Bijiang was just an ordinary orphan, he was Li Wanjiang's son. From the moment he was born, he was destined to start some kind of tragedy.
Ren Haitang came here to take Ren Pijiang away. The reason was that she had not raised him for so many years. As a mother, it was a huge dereliction of duty. However, due to various reasons, she actually couldn't help herself.
Now that she has become the shogun of Japan, her life can finally be stable, so she wants to make up for the shortcomings of the past and reestablish a mother-son relationship with her son. It is reasonable to say that.
Moreover, as Ren Haitang's only son, the position of shogunate will definitely belong to him in the future. In Japan, the shogunate is equivalent to the prince of Zhou Dynasty. With Ren's ability in border crossing, if he becomes the shogunate, he will have a bright future.
.
Ren Tiantang certainly can't object, and Xiao Chen has no reason to object. Everything depends on Ren Bijiang's wishes. He is now an adult and can make his own choices.
No matter what he chooses, he cannot escape his destined fate.
Xiao Chen and the others thought that Ren Bijiang would decline politely or even reject it outright, but unexpectedly, he just hesitated for a moment and then agreed directly...
"Have you thought about Pijiang?" Ling'er couldn't help but ask, thinking that you should think more carefully about such an important matter.
