Chapter 462 Ferocious Beast
Chen Duzhu turned to the side with wrinkled face and said to everyone around him: "Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Ge brothers, and Zhang Huchen, have all arrived."
Xu Yanda said enthusiastically: "Well, more than two thousand navy soldiers, six thousand infantrymen, and more than five hundred cavalrymen, all gathered."
Lin Dingyi smiled and said, "Since the opening of the East Vanguard of the Zhongshan Palace, there are troops everywhere. As before, all the soldiers gathered together, this is the first time."
"There are still guards from one army and the new army of two army remain in Qizhou without moving." Chen Duzhu continued: "This is also a preparation for the future war."
"I'm really waiting for you." Yang Shizhi praised: "Not only the soldiers, but also the various preparations are eye-opening."
Many businessmen nodded. With their years of experience and wisdom in business, as well as their most meticulous and harsh eyes, and the most meticulous and rigorous methods to check, they really couldn't find out the slightest problem of Dongfan preparing for the war this time.
A large number of war horses, mixed horses, mules, and donkeys were taken care of by soldiers. The entire port was more than ten miles from east to west and less than twenty miles from north to south. Various animal husbandry had exceeded 10,000, and the number was still increasing.
In addition to pasture and a large amount of food, various military instruments were also piled up, with a large number of chariots and horses, shovels, shovels, and various equipment for building ladders and bridges. Of course, there were also various medicinal materials, spare cloth, military boots, tents and various debris. In addition, a large number of military medical officers also came across the sea, and could form a field military hospital for battlefields at any time.
With the preparations and planning of the military and political departments, the resettlement and preferential treatment of military families. Once soldiers are killed and all kinds of care are taken care of, ordinary people will even be jealous. If they are not for their lives, the treatment of the martyrs' families will be enviable and quite jealous.
This method of preparing for war is unheard of and unseen for the merchants in front of them.
Even Chen Duzhu, who claimed to be knowledgeable and experienced the battle to suppress bandits while traveling to the Central Plains, and personally experienced the invasion of the Western Qiang during the Daibei period, was filled with endless emotions.
"The small boats cruising on the river are probably not simple," Wei Jiuzhen said suddenly: "Recently, all ships traveling to Qizhou and to sea have been searched and questioned. Those who come from Fuzhou and Xinghua Army are even more cautious. Even so, those who can come to Qizhou ports have been investigated many times and have no mistakes to come up."
"It's not just that now." Lin Dingyi smiled and said, "Only the military ships, servants, and relevant people from various trading companies can go to the island to enter the port. If this is the case, you must not enter without any entry. Even if you can go to the island to enter the port, if you want to go out again, you have to explain where you are going. Maybe there will be people from the Military Information Department to follow you and guard all the way... When it comes to spies' detailed works, there have been many records throughout the ages. Now it seems that the traitors recorded by the ancients have become extremely shallow jokes compared to the current Zhongshan Palace, and are not worth a show."
This made everyone nod and say yes. It is true, and it is true.
People from the Military Intelligence Department either set up small boats to patrol the sea or spy on news in Fuzhou and other places to prevent spies from coming to the island.
Not only are they guarding against bandits, but they also prevent problems when spying on Fuzhou. Everyone has been at the port of Qizhou for a long time, and they have seen all kinds of prevention situations and strengths.
Only the Zhongshan Palace can do such organization and scheduling.
The other forces are very different.
At this time, a whole army of soldiers of the government were disembarked, arranged neatly, and began to drive towards the barracks.
The soldiers were like a forest, and when they walked, they made a rustling sound like spring nibbling leaves. As the merchants said, after nearly two months of training, the pace and line of the new army was about the same as the old mansion army. However, in terms of their true performance during the march, the old mansion army was still better than the new mansion army.
When marching, all the soldiers were expressionless and looked closer. Their faces were quite calm and calm, even a little indifferent.
The same is true for the eyes, indifferent, calm, calm, and without too much emotional color.
This army is like a long wriggling snake. Under its calm surface, there is a terrifying poison that can make people die!
This is the real elite, a powerful soldier composed of veterans who have never died in battle.
Not irritating, not overly excited, and of course not timid.
There are some emotional fluctuations, but in the group, individual emotions quickly disappear and melt into the group.
The old soldiers who hold sluts, bows holding crossbows or bows, crossbows, and those swords and shields wearing heavy armor, and those who control bed crossbows. These old soldiers of the palace have experienced several fierce battles and have the current style.
Their every move was not intentional, but almost everyone raised their feet at the same time and then fell down at the same time. The swing of their arms was the same melody. From a distance, it almost seemed like the most beautiful picture in the world.
When they approached the barracks, the flags flapped, and everyone suddenly set their steps, and then they did not move at all. The entire army was like a ferocious beast in the wilderness, which was terrifying.
A group of merchants were all impressed by the momentum of this army and were stumbled and dared not speak again.
More baggage soldiers followed the ship, and the supplies, mules, horses, military supplies and other cities in the army were transported and disembarked by baggage soldiers.
The supplies of several large ships were not completely emptied, and most of them were taken off the ship by horses and mules and donkeys. These animals were fine when taking a short distance, but they were prone to getting sick when taking a long distance. They had to put a lot of energy into taking care of them. It would be better to take them off the ship and place them in place.
Many tools, grain, medicinal materials, cloth and other military supplies were directly left on the ship.
Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Ge family brothers and others were not led to the temporary palace in the port, but to the west side of the dock. Xu Zixian was there. He was wearing a short robe, with the hem of the robe only reaching his waist, and under his trousers were wrapped around his trousers, tightening the corners of his trousers, and not wearing boots, but wearing a pair of hemp shoes tied with thin ropes. Such cleaning, of course, just came down from climbing the mountain from Qishan.
"I've seen the King."
"I've seen Your Highness."
"I've seen the king."
The rules of the Zhongshan Palace are not important, and Xu Zixian did not use his MG to suppress others. This is true for outsiders, let alone his confidants. Therefore, although they have not seen each other for a long time, many generals did not deliberately set up a queue and greeted the lords seriously, but instead saluted military salutes and greeted Xu Zixian in a mess.
"Everyone is here, it's great." Xu Zixian showed a look of joy on his face, then looked at the beach, and said, "The big ships we can draw in the near future are basically here?"
Of course, Liu Yi came to answer this. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are almost here, and some of them are Penghu civilian ships, which is thanks to
Wei Yanke, the Penghu Order, has strong support."
Liu Yi's speech was quite organized before he knew it. Xu Zixian smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that he knew.
These subordinates were Xu Zixian who deliberately searched for the wild men in the mountains and grass. They could emerge one after another within a few years, but they all made careers from the grass. It can be seen that the times and fortunes are more than ordinary people. As long as they have a little point of use, they are like a wiped pearl, radiating the light they already have.
"Look at the river and sea water." Xu Zixian looked in front of him. The originally clear water of the Minjiang River reached the mouth of the sea, and somehow turned black and gray, which looked very turbid. It fought with the blue sea water and fought each other. When it reached the downstream estuary, the river surface was wide and black and gray. Further ahead, the turbid current suddenly disappeared, leaving only the blue sea water.
The generals didn't know what Xu Zixian meant, so they could only look at the convergence of the rivers and seas.
"If you manage the general trend well, it will be like the vast sea in front of you. No matter you are aggressive and surging down, just open your mind and let you do it, then the river water will be melted by the sea water in the end, and this will be the general trend!"
When the generals heard this, some people showed a look of enlightenment on their faces, but most of them were unaware of the key. After all, the king in front of him had just come down from Qishan and sighed at the sea and river in front of him, and his thoughts were a bit unattainable.
Liu Yi bowed and said, "Your Highness, have you gone to see Anyuan Li?"
Xu Zixian nodded and said, "The army is about to leave the port and go ashore. It's not too long. The baggage battalion and the engineering battalion are ready to set off in the early stage. A large amount of military supplies must be taken from the water. I asked Anyuan Li to prepare early and recruit some experienced boatmen, sailors, and boatmen to prepare to go with the army."
In fact, there is no shortage of manpower in the port of Qizhou. At least more than ten thousand people and new soldiers are stationed on the island. There is also an army guard who is ready to accompany him to Jianzhou. These are all ready-made manpowers.
However, if the boat rides on the river and goes upstream, it is not possible to solve the problem of brute force by brute force. If you have no experience, you will only use brute force. If you don’t know that adapting to the water flow environment, you will not only get half the result with twice the effort, but also have a very likely risk of damage to the hull.
In this battle, in addition to a few naval officers and soldiers carrying warships to patrol the sea to prevent raids from the sea, most of the naval officers and soldiers abandoned their ships and took to land to participate in this battle. At this time, there were three armies of the palace army, and one army of naval officers and soldiers, and the cavalry soldiers who came from Zhang Huchen Gaoshi.
There are more than a hundred ships, including warships, blessing ships, spiritual ships, and private ships, all of which are on standby at the port.
The entire Zhongshan Palace was like a tense arch bow because of this war, and was ready to go. Just wait for Xu Zixian, the person who was arching, to spread his fingers at any time.
It was related to water transportation, and Liu Yi had to care, and then crossed his hands and said, "Did Li Anyuan agree?"
"Well, I agree." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Before I asked Li Anyuan to meet, Wei Yi had dealt with him in the name of Qizhou Defense Envoy. He had already known his thoughts in his words. Seeing that the military discipline of the Xiang army was corrupt, and the imperial guards were not paid, equipment, money and food were insufficient, and his morale was not strong. His heart was already with me. This time, I was covering up the mountain and saw that the people were watching me. In fact, according to his wishes, he wanted to take a boat to the port of Qizhou."
Xu Zixian also laughed silently and shook his head and started to laugh.
