Chapter 543, South China Sea Guards Sending Troops to Suppress Thieves
Sun Xuebin, who was far away in Shilu Iron Mine, immediately received the notice and immediately returned to the dock area.
When Sun Xuebin returned in a hurry, he immediately sent out a reconnaissance team composed of people who traveled through time and naturalized people.
This reconnaissance team is Sun Xuebin's favorite. Whether they are time travelers or naturalized people, they are all selected from the best, the best from the best!
There are fifteen people in total, and each one is one of the best. The training model was also formulated by a retired special forces soldier, completely imitating the training methods of some later special forces.
At this time, if we want to investigate the situation as quickly as possible, we can only dispatch this reconnaissance team.
Even the reconnaissance team was transported by 100-ton patrol boats to facilitate the timely evacuation of the reconnaissance team.
I have to say that this reconnaissance team is indeed strong.
After sending them to the vicinity of Lingao by sea, the 100-ton patrol boat docked on a nearby island. They needed to wait for the signal from the reconnaissance team before going over to cover and receive it.
But what people never expected was that after landing at 11 o'clock in the evening, the reconnaissance team withdrew at 5 o'clock in the morning the next day and returned in two groups to capture several prisoners.
These prisoners were taken from Lingao County Government Office and Weiyou Qianhu Office.
When they returned on the 100-ton patrol boat, the people from the reconnaissance team started interrogating him on the boat.
Therefore, before returning to the dock area, the information came out.
Even the people in the reconnaissance team did not expect that they had captured a key figure, and his status was not low.
The county captain of Lingao County, a hundred households in Weiyou Qianhu Station.
Let alone Baihu, the county lieutenant was unlucky because there was a murder case in the county. He just came back with the yamen servants and happened to meet the reconnaissance team who came over. As a result, the yamen servants didn't react.
They were all knocked down with their bare hands, and the county captain was directly captured.
To put it simply, this dispatch of troops was triggered by the commanding colleagues of Nanhaiwei, who were fighting for merit.
The former Qianhu Post sent troops to attack the dock area twice, and even Qiongshan County was captured.
However, after losing so many military households, the Qianhu adults at the Qianhu Station of the Guard did not dare to conceal the matter, and immediately reported the matter.
When Nanhaiwei received the news, he immediately went crazy.
Speaking of Nanhaiwei at this time, its top commander, the commander, died of illness some time ago. The commander-in-chief above was unable to take care of this because of the invasion of the Qing army, so no new commander was appointed.
As the second-in-command commander of Nanhai Guard, Tongzhi naturally wanted to seek this position, and the third-in-command commander Qianshi also wanted this position.
The two adults had been fighting ever since the commander died of illness, so they didn't take it seriously even after receiving the report from the Qianhu Station in the rear guard.
But at this time, these two adults felt that if they destroyed this group of thieves and made great achievements, they might be able to sit on the throne of commander.
As a result, the two of them contacted the Qianhu Offices they were close to, and unanimously prepared to send troops to attack the dock area.
Of course, as the second-in-command, Tongzhi-sama is more powerful. Among them, the Qianhu of Weiyou Qianhusuo located near Lingao and the Weizuo Qianhusuo located in Anding are his cronies.
Qianhu, the Weiqian Qianhu Suo Qianhu in Chengmai, was a close aide of the commander Qianshi.
Among them, the Weiyou Qianhu Division is preparing to send approximately 600 troops, the Weizuo Qianhu Division is preparing to send 700 troops, and the Weiqian Qianhu Division is preparing to send 600 troops.
In addition, the counties in these three places are also preparing to dispatch some county soldiers and government officials.
Therefore, the total strength of the Ming army this time should be about 2,300.
After getting this information, Sun Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, a considerable number of the 2,300 Ming troops armed with cold weapons were farmers, so he naturally did not need to worry.
You know, just one battalion stationed in the dock area should be able to defeat these three Ming armies head-on.
Of course, to be on the safe side, Sun Xuebin still sent out the new barracks and Wang Haitao's navy recruits.
Although these recruits have not been exposed to shooting for a long time, they are already qualified after being used to fight positional warfare.
At the same time, Sun Xuebin also sent many people to lurk high in the mountains to watch the official roads. Once the Ming army sent troops, they would immediately use PHS to notify the military team.
Well, this PHS is a masterpiece of the communication team.
Fang Xiaoyue also helped out in her spare time.
Of course, this PHS is not completely new, but the communication team used a set of abandoned communication equipment in the dock area to transform it.
That set of communication equipment was originally maritime communication equipment from the 1970s, but later on, satellite systems were used for maritime communications, so these old maritime communication equipment were eliminated.
However, this set of old maritime communication equipment was stored in a warehouse somewhere after being eliminated, and was later forgotten.
Until someone uncovered it after time travel, the communication team found a treasure and invited Fang Xiaoyue to join. After some repairs and debugging, it was put into operation.
To put it simply, this PHS machine has a total of more than 200 machines, which are the size of mobile phones. Its central communication area has a coverage radius of 300 kilometers and a half-attenuation coverage radius of 1,000 kilometers.
Thanks to the pure electromagnetic environment of this era, its coverage radius is definitely larger than that of later generations.
In other words, if the call quality requirements are not too high, its communication range can reach as far as Quanzhou, and even inland Sichuan Province. Communication is possible as long as it is at high altitudes.
It has to be said that this set of maritime communication equipment can be said to be a powerful weapon in information warfare in this era.
But more than two hundred machines are really not enough.
For now, the Interim Administrative Committee has not agreed to the requirement to issue a PHS to each traveler.
Only those who go out to perform missions can each carry one with them to facilitate timely rescue in the event of an accident.
It's not that Fang Xiaoyue doesn't want to work with the communication team to develop better communication equipment, but as far as the electronics industry is concerned, the foundation of the dock area is too poor, well, to be precise, there is no foundation at all.
Let's put it this way, Fang Xiaoyue can easily make the most primitive electron tubes, more advanced vacuum triodes, etc. After all, these things are nothing more than glass tubes, filaments, polar plates, and grids.
But the problem is that it is somewhat difficult to combine vacuum tubes into radios.
Although several people in the communication group were masters of radio broadcasting before time travel, with the current industrial base in the dock area, it is possible to barely DIY a radio station, but industrial production is unlikely.
Besides, the current focus of industry in the dock area is steelmaking, machine tools, and locomotives. Even if things go badly, the focus will be on military industry.
