Chapter 17 The War is Coming

Taking down Zhoushan City does not mean that the entire Zhoushan Island will be controlled. There are also a small number of Qing troops guarding several different strongholds on the island. After handing over the cleaning task to his subordinates, Yang Feng went to the small island where he buried his arms as quickly as possible, and transported all the more than 20 tons of arms there that night. This is all his reliance on in the short term.

Most of these arms are grenades. In this era, there is nothing better than this, whether on land or at sea.

Although artillery and firearms were already very common at this time, the real solution to the battle was the close-range hand-to-hand combat of swords and spears. Even in naval battles, landing battles were still the ultimate means of deciding the outcome. At least in the east, this was the main method of combat. Grenades were the most suitable for such a battlefield. At this time, the army did not have the habit of dispersed charges, and they fought as intensively as possible. A grenade exploded a large area. In previous naval battles, the highest record once a grenade destroyed a ship of more than 30 Qing troops.

In the future, this is the magic weapon that Yang Feng has created miracles for his mobs.

And the rocket launcher.

This kind of thing can completely act as a cannon at sea, and real cannons are useless to him, because no one can use it except him. The fact that those pirates can use a borehole cannon does not mean that they can use a borehole cannon, let alone a mortar.

But they will use the bazooka.

In Zhang Lao Er, he called Zhang Lao Er. After he learned to use it proficiently and destroyed many Qing warships, many rebel soldiers had already let go of their fear of immortal magic weapons and began to learn how to use it. They all knew that as long as they looked at the scope and pulled the trigger for the target they wanted to hit. This kind of fool-operated weapon was too easy to use. Although rocket assembly was a little difficult for them, smart-minded people had already begun to follow suit.

Therefore, Yang Feng still mainly uses these two weapons this time. As for automatic rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, etc., it is a waste for them. It is probably not much better than Uncle Hei who holds AK47 in later generations.

After transporting the arms back, he immediately reorganized his subordinates. Of course, it cannot be said that it was a real reorganization. It was just a necessary firepower configuration. He selected a group of full-time bomb droppers from his rebel army. Two people fired ten grenades in groups and dispatched them to the pirate ships of the pirate ships. Zhoushan was surrounded by the sea, and as long as the Qing navy was defeated at sea, they would be invincible. Once the naval battle was fought, these ships rushed straight to the Qing army warships. They rushed to more than ten or twenty meters and threw the grenades directly. First, they exploded the Qing army on the ship and flew with blood and flesh. When the situation was almost done, they rushed up. The pirates cleared the remaining ones and snatched the ships.

The core of his fleet is still the Valkyrie. This ship is equipped with a bazooka. Once it is fought, it is responsible for storming the Qing army. Although his subordinates are not able to drive the ship yet, it doesn't matter. Let Wallace and others continue to work for him. Anyway, they have no place to go at this time. If they don't do it, they are careful to throw it into the sea to feed sharks.

Wallace had no choice but to do so. They were now on the pirate ship and could not escape even if they wanted to.

Fortunately, Yang Feng promised that if a European merchant ship came, no matter which country it belonged, they would be put on the boat and returned. He also asked him to take away the snowflake balls and music boxes, and also gave him a set of aluminum tableware, which was like a street promotion, but it did make Wallace feel at ease.

In addition to these, Yang Feng also received a large amount of arms replenishment in Zhoushan, including cannons, bird guns, bows and arrows, and swords and guns. This place is also the garrison of Dinghai Town and one of the most important fortresses for coastal defense. Not to mention that the arms are sufficient first, not only the arms, but also other food, which is enough for Yang Feng’s thousands of people to eat for two years. Moreover, this is only in the government warehouse, not even the hands of those merchants among the people.

In short, except for the shortage of people, Yang Feng is now missing nothing else. There are still tens of thousands of taels of silver in the warehouses of Dinghai County and customs!

This place is one of the four major customs currently, including the four customs of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and Zhejiang Customs is also Ningbo Customs. However, Ningbo Customs is divided into two places. Ningbo is only a headquarters. The real customs are here. Dinghai not only has a customs office and a Hongmao restaurant dedicated to entertaining foreign merchants. It collects a large amount of tax and silver for Kang Mazi every year. The ones collected some time ago this year have not been released, but it turned out that Yang Feng was all cheaper.

In short, Zhoushan has fallen into his hands now, so it depends on whether he can keep it.

And his enemies...

How to say it is powerful, it is also very powerful, and it is neither powerful nor powerful.

Kang Mazi has a million troops and a powerful cavalry. It can be said that he can destroy his mob by just taking out a cavalry, but it is useless. They cannot fly across the sea. Even if Zhoushan reaches Zhenhai, it is only a dozen miles from the sea, so they can only compete with him for the navy, but this is no big deal. Kang Mazi's navy is still nothing to be scary.

First of all, the most recent one.

He doesn't have to think too far now, because even if the eight hundred miles are expedited, it will take five days to send the information about his occupation of Zhoushan to Beijing. Then Beijing reacts and then sends the order to the south. This will take another five days. After a few more days, more than ten days have passed. If the time for mobilization in various places is added, it will probably be more than a month.

Zhoushan belongs to Zhejiang, and Zhejiang belongs to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. At this time, the governor was Guo Shilong, the Han army inlaid with red flags, and the son of Guo Hongchen, the general of Zuo Menggeng.

His subordinates had three Green Camp generals with naval divisions in Zhejiang, from north to south to Dinghai and Huangyan, and then to south to Wenzhou. These three generals had naval divisions under them. Now the Dinghai Naval Division was completely wiped out, and the only one who was the Huangyan Naval Division was nearest. At this time, it was probably just received a letter.

In this era, Yang Feng found that what is most beneficial to him was the slow transmission speed of information, which was to speed up to 800 miles. It took more than half a day to send messages from Ningbo to Huangyan.

However, because of his existence, the opponent is definitely not just the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. It is very likely that the Governor of Liangjiang will be added. Although this place does not belong to the Liangjiang defense zone, who said that he is the person Kang Mazi has always dreamed of?

Governor Ashan of Liangjiang must be impatient to show his loyalty.

In this way, Yang Feng's opponents suddenly increased, because the subordinates of the Governor of Liangjiang were General Su Song and General Chongming. In addition, General Guazhou stationed in the north of Zhenjiang could also quickly descend the Yangtze River, with a voyage of no more than three days. In this way, in three days, Zhoushan would welcome a naval attack of at least between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan under the command of the generals of the four towns.

This is a big battle!

"Fight, beat the damn it, the battle made the Tartars brave!"

After understanding the situation, a group of rebel generals who were enthusiastic and confident in the immortals shouted with fists.

"Yes, it's just a battle that will make the Tartars brave!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"Also, are the wine bottles and kettles I asked you to find ready?"

Then he said.

Not long ago, Yang Dashuai issued a strange order, requiring all the troops in Zhoushan City to find wine pots from door to door. Don’t have large wine jars, but small wine pots. Of course, it is not limited to wine pots. As long as they are small, they can be thrown far away, all pots and small wine jars are fine, as long as they are filled, they can be thrown out after weight, even a vase or even a smaller urinal. It would be even better if there is a red-haired ghost wine bottle, of course, it must be porcelain or glass.

A group of generals nodded quickly.

"Then carry it all over!"

Yang Feng said, first of all, he waved his hand, and the two guards behind him came over to the lobby with a pile of wine bottles. They were all from the Valkyrie, and he pulled them all over. At the same time, the generals each carried the similar things they collected under their hands, making boxes and baskets of them look like grocery markets.

Yang Feng looked at it with satisfaction, suddenly stretched his right hand into the void, then dragged out a green iron bucket that was as tall as his chest and was hugging a thicker green iron bucket, then stretched in, and took out something that seemed to be a big pump. He used the axe and chisel he handed over to open a small lid on the bucket, put the pump in, and then grabbed a small wine pot the size of a palm, placed the mouth of the pot under the mouth of the pump, and quickly pulled out the clear liquid inside to fill the bottle.

At this time, a strong and strange fragrance spreads.

Yang Feng took a piece of rag in a blank look, stuffed it directly into the mouth of the wine pot, and carefully wiped the liquid outside, signaling the people watching the fun to retreat.

Just as everyone retreated, he took out his magical fire, fired a flame to ignite the hanging cloth strip, and then smashed the wine pot hard to the opposite wall. The wine pot with flames instantly crashed into pieces on it. Before people could react, the terrifying flame suddenly rose and burned on the stone wall without any combustible material.

"What if every one of our sailors carried this thing on their body, what would happen on the battlefield?"

In a thrilling look, Yang Feng said proudly.

Well, this is a bucket of diluents for printing.

Originally, it was best to have gasoline, but barrels of gasoline are rare these days, and it is easy to find gas stations, but he was surprised to find that his Majesty Mansion could actually lead to a printing factory, and the ink-diluted banana water was placed in rows and moved there casually.
