Navy Qianhu Chen Luqing told the people in front of him from beginning to end about the naval battle with the Tiger Flag at sea.
"Are their warships really that powerful?" Mao Wenlong frowned deeply.
The tiger-shaped flag was on the sea, and he could bombard Pi Island without any scruples, bullying Dongjiang Town without a decent warship. Now that the court sent a navy, he still couldn't do anything to the other party, which made him feel depressed.
Chen Luqing said: "There are many cannons on the pirate ship, and they fire from a long distance away, without giving the navy's ship a chance to get close. Even if the navy's ship finally gets close, the people on the pirate ship will shoot with muskets, and the pirate ship will They are all relatively tall, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers on the navy side to join the gang."
"Commander Commander, why don't you go back first? The matter of Pidao needs to be discussed in the long term." Chen Zhong looked at Mao Wenlong.
Persuade the other party to give up the idea of transporting Tieshan officers and soldiers to Pi Island in boats and rafts.
As long as the warships of the Tiger Flag do not leave Pi Island, in his opinion, it is impossible for Dongjiang Town to recapture Pi Island on its own.
Mao Dusi on the side said: "My subordinates think that if we want to capture Pi Island, the warships with the Tiger Flag must be eliminated in advance. As long as these warships are not eliminated, it will be difficult for our people to land on the island."
The warships of the Tiger Flag have become a stumbling block in Dongjiang Town to recapture Pi Island.
"If you want to deal with the ships carrying the Tiger Flag, you can only go through the Navy." As he said that, Mao Wenlong looked at Chen Luqing, the Navy Qianhu.
Chen Luqing hesitated for a moment and said: "There is still a navy left in Dengzhou with nearly two hundred ships, but the last general is humble. If we want to mobilize the navy left in Dengzhou, we still need the commander-in-chief to find a way. "
"If we send people to Denglai Navy to help, the day lilies will get cold every time." Mao Wenlong said unhappily.
It has been nearly two months since Pi Island was forcibly occupied by the Tiger-Character Banner. The imperial court will not leave him too long. If Pi Island cannot be recaptured as soon as possible, he believes that there will soon be a decree to change the master of Dongjiang Town.
Chen Zhong knew what Mao Wenlong was worried about, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade him.
You can never persuade the other party to give up the power that you have gained through hard work and life and death.
"Do you still remember how the navy on Juehua Island was destroyed by the old slave?" Mao Wenlong suddenly asked, looking at the three people in front of him.
Chen Zhongqing frowned and said: "The old slave led his troops to sneak attack the navy on Juehua Island and burned the navy's ship. This solved the threat of the Juehua Island Navy to counterfeit gold in one fell swoop."
"That's right." Mao Wenlong nodded slightly and said immediately, "I didn't have a navy, but I relied on sneak attacks to defeat the navy on Juehua Island. If I can do the same thing, how can I do the same? "
Chen Zhong was shocked when he heard this and said: "The commander-in-chief plans to imitate the old slave and sneak attack the warship carrying the Tiger Flag?"
"The warships of the Tiger Flag have just defeated the Denglai Navy. The alert will definitely be relaxed. I am going to lead my troops to sneak attack on Pi Island tonight and destroy the enemy ships docked at the Pier of Pi Island." Mao Wenlong said his plan .
This is his last chance to stay in Dongjiang Town in the future. Once the news of Denglai Navy's defeat in the naval battle is sent back, the imperial court will definitely send someone to take over the position of the commander of Dongjiang Town. As for him, the best end is to be imprisoned.
In recent years, he was like a local emperor in Dongjiang Town, and he had offended many people, including many civil servants. Yuan Keli had to resign as governor of Denglai because of disagreements with him.
If he hadn't had Dongjiang Town to back him up, the civil servants he offended and the disciples and old officials behind them would have pounced on him, a military commander who was considered arrogant and domineering in the eyes of the civil servants.
Mao Dusi, who was guarding Mao Wenlong, said at this time: "General Chen, I think the commander-in-chief's method is worth a try. As long as it succeeds, not only will Pi Island be recaptured, but also the warships with the tiger flag will be able to increase Pi Island's maritime power. "
He knew in his heart that only if Mao Wenlong stayed in Dongjiang Town, he, the governor, could truly replace Mao Chenglu and be in charge of Mao Wenlong's personal servants.
He and Mao Wenlong both prospered and suffered losses.
"Commander, do you really have to do this? Is it impossible? Once Tieshan's sneak attack fails, it will be difficult for Tieshan to have troops to defend it." Chen Zhong was not willing to learn from Mao Wenlong to sneak attack on Pi Island.
Even if Dongjiang Town changes coaches in the future, as the commander stationed here in Tieshan, no matter who comes to Dongjiang Town, he will have to rely on him.
But once the sneak attack failed and a large number of Tieshan's soldiers and horses were lost on Pi Island, he would have no soldiers in his hands, and it would be impossible for the court to keep him and make room for the cronies of the new coach in Dongjiang Town.
Mao Wenlong's face sank, and he said with displeasure: "Why are you afraid? Back then, you and I led a team of no more than two hundred people to surprise the general. Now that we are rich, it is possible that we have become useless."
"The general is worried that removing the Tieshan garrison will leave Tieshan empty, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it." Chen Zhong said with a wry smile.
Back then, he was just a general under Mao Wenlong. If he wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, he was naturally willing to risk his life. Now that he has everything he should have, he naturally has more worries in his heart.
Mao Wenlong said: "Don't worry about this. I will not take away all the soldiers and horses in Tieshan. I will leave a force in Tieshan to ensure the safety of Tieshan."
"Since the commander-in-chief has made up his mind to attack the enemy ships on Phi Island, the general will naturally not dare to disobey him. However, there are only small boats here in Tieshan, and they cannot transport too many soldiers and horses to Phi Island. If the number of trips back and forth is the same, If there are too many, the garrison on Pi Island may be aware of it, which will delay the commander's important task." Although Chen Zhong was reluctant to disobey Mao Wenlong's orders, he did not want to give Mao Wenlong too many troops.

At present, Mao Wenlong has obviously lost power, and he wants to leave a way out for himself.
Mao Wenlong raised his hand and pointed at the water, which was Qianhu Chen Luqing, and said: "The small boats prepared here in Tieshan are not enough. There are also navy boats that can be used. Chen Qianhu, I want to requisition the navy boats, don't you? Will you object?"
"The general is willing to obey the commander-in-chief's arrangements."
Chen Luqing knew clearly in his heart that the navy soldier and general fell into the sea and his whereabouts were unknown. Even if he could successfully return to Dengzhou with dozens of ships, the fate waiting for him would not be good. Instead of going back and being questioned, it would be better If you stay and give it a try, you will get promoted and make a fortune, but if you fail, you will end up with the same fate.
Hearing Chen Luqing's attitude, Chen Zhong's face darkened.
He knew in his heart that he had to prepare to hand over the soldiers and horses that attacked Pi Island to Mao Wenlong. If he refused, he would completely offend the other party. After all, Mao Wenlong was still nominally the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town.
"It is enough for Tieshan to leave two or three hundred men to guard. The other soldiers and horses will be ready. We will board the ship as soon as it gets dark and follow the commander to recapture Pi Island." Mao Wenlong made a decision and no longer gave Chen Zhong a chance to bargain.
If his soldiers and horses were not damaged on the island, how could he talk nonsense with Chen Zhong here? After an order was given, he did not believe that Chen Zhong dared to disobey it.
