Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, concisely and concisely completed the reward for the officials of Fujian.
The forwards of the Fujian army have already walked out of Shacheng. The baggage shipped from Shuangshui City and other rear cities will also be transferred to the front line after arriving in Shacheng.
The king of Fujian, Zhang Yuliang, left the people in the square to celebrate the joy of the founding of the country of Fujian.
He discussed this war with the top leaders of Fujian about the fate of the country.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, looked at the civil and military ministers of Fujian and asked: "The world is constantly changing, and today is different from the past.
Tell us what you think of this war. "
After General Bian Yuhe sat down, he said in a rough tone: "Your Majesty, I think our approach is too cautious.
When Wei Wang Su Hu was in South America, he just went there.
He created a rich country.
We should have used absolute force to get past them.
At that time, our military strength was more than enough to capture the city of Cairo.
News came from Dahua that Wei King Su Hu traveled to South America and captured a large area of fertile land in South America without being outnumbered. "
Governor Niu Xiuqing knew that the King of Fujian was not easy to speak, so his words were like a knife, piercing the weak points of Bian Yu and the general.
"General Bian, you are a paper general with a professional background and lack of experience in leading troops in combat.
It's okay to use your strength to overwhelm others, but your abilities still need to be trained.
When fighting a war, you cannot look at paper data. There is no necessary relationship between strength and weakness and the number of people.
King Su Hu of Wei only had to deal with the colonial troops. After his victory, it would take a long time for other Spanish colonies and the mainland to react.
Once we attack the city of Cairo, we will declare war on the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
The difficulty of war is completely different. "
General Bian Yuhe's face turned red. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to refute.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, broke the deadlock and said: "What time is it now? You are still quarreling.
I can also see your attitude.
The war game about how to occupy Egypt was conducted no less than a hundred times during this period.
The situation this time is similar to Plan No. 6, so use Plan No. 6. The commander at the front can fine-tune the plan based on the situation on the front line.
You all remember your respective tasks and talk about the arrangements for plan No. 6. "
Niu Xiuqing and Bian Yu were at odds, something he was happy to see.
He is now a monarch, and his attitude towards the military is completely different from that of the commander-in-chief.
The military system of Fujian basically followed the military system of Dahua.
Certain plans have been made for foreseeable situations.
Let all officials across the country know what they should do at this time?
General Bian Yuhe suppressed his anger, he puffed up his chest and said: "Your Majesty, follow the arrangements of Plan No. 6.
The minister will command the Second Corps and move north along the Nile River, controlling tribes and important towns along the way. "
General Bian Yuhe knew his mission. No matter which combat plan it was, his positioning was basically the same.
The Second Corps is an army with Han as its backbone, absorbing the surrendered Egyptians, and a mixture of cold weapons and muskets.
Egypt's main cities and gathering places are located on both sides of the Nile River.
The main purpose of the Second Corps is to seize the city, control the population of the occupied area, and eliminate the local rule of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
The characteristic of plan No. 6 is to allow the Second Corps to move steadily, without the need for rapid marches, to occupy the Egyptian area in a short period of time.
The Grand Governor Liu Xiuqing looked at the Fujian King Zhang Yuliang and confirmed: "Your Majesty, using Plan No. 6, I will command the First Corps under the cover of naval warships.
Directly reach Cairo by sea and capture the most important city in Egypt.
And blocked the connection between Africa and Asia, blocking the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army.
The First Corps is an all-firearms force with some elite troops and is also equipped with weapons purchased from Dahua.
I think it is not difficult to capture the city of Cairo.
Danchen was worried about the situation of the navy.
The navy cannot withstand it. Once the Ottoman Turkish Navy cuts off our army's retreat.
If the lone army goes deep and runs out of ammunition and food, the situation of the First Corps will be very dangerous. "
Most of these plans were designed by Niu Xiuqing and Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian.
Plan No. 6 is one of the fastest plans to capture Egypt.
It requires a strong navy and an army that serves as a sharp sword.
Use leap-frog tactics to directly attack Egypt's strongest and most vulnerable areas.
They captured the city of Cairo and sent troops to garrison the Sinai Peninsula.
The navy controls the land and sea, and the connection between Africa and Asia lies in the distance between the African continent and the Sinai Peninsula.
The strength of the First Corps is fully capable of sealing this road.
The most critical point of this plan is to have a strong navy.
Niu Xiuqing has been training the Fujian army, and he doesn't know much about the navy.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, said confidently: "Our navy has no problem dominating the Red Sea.
What's more, Jin's sea areas are guarded by Jin's navy. We only need to defend half of the Red Sea.
As for whether Fujian's navy is strong, you don't need to worry.
King Jin and I borrowed one million taels of silver coins from UOB.
Purchase a decommissioned sailing battleship from the Dahua Navy.
These sailing battleships are already obsolete in Dahua.
But in this area of the Red Sea, we have a fleet of two battleships, eight cruisers, and more than a dozen destroyers owned by Fujian.
Except for Jin, no navy is our opponent. "
Niu Xiuqing was relieved when he heard the introduction from the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang.
He had also heard from the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang before that in order to ensure control of the Red Sea, he would purchase some decommissioned warships from Dahua.
Niu Xiuqing knew that the treasury did not have much money and could not afford to buy a very good warship.
The navy was far away in Cam Ranh Port, and Navy Governor Du Dayong reported directly to the King of Fujian.
Niu Xiuqing has never understood the details of the navy.
He responded in surprise: "Your Majesty, now with the support of a powerful navy, I am confident that I can win the city of Cairo with the lowest casualties."
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, looked at the clock on the table.
He stood up and ordered: "Let's not waste time, the army will officially set off."
He looked at Prime Minister Hu Qiwen and said: "Old Hu, I will leave the rear to you."
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen was a little surprised. He listened to the words of the Fujian King Zhang Yuliang and wanted to go to the battlefield in person.
He quickly stopped and said: "Old minister, please take good care of your body.
If a gentleman does not establish a dangerous wall, if something unexpected happens to the king, the good situation will fall apart. "
The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang said in a serious tone: "This is a war that determines the life and death of Fujian. I must go to the front line."
He saw that not only Hu Qiwen, but also Niu Xiuqing and Bian Yuhe wanted to stop him.
The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang smiled and said: "Don't be too nervous, I am commanding on the battleship.
With the small sampans of the Ottoman Turkish Navy, they could not yet pose a threat to the battleships.
I'm safe on the battleship, you don't have to worry. "
When the ministers heard the promise from the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen stared at Dudu Niu Xiuqing with his eyes.
Until he saw Niu Xiuqing nodding towards him.
Hu Qiwen's intention was obvious. He asked Niu Xiuqing to hold back Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, on the battlefield and prevent Zhang Yuliang from going to the front line.
…………………………
Niu Xiuqing led the First Corps, which numbered 50,000 people, to a simple dock on the seaside.
The people of Shacheng were still celebrating the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China.
Bian Yuhe led the 40,000-strong Second Corps and headed north along the Nile.
Niu Xiuqing came to the seaside and waited for the arrival of Du Dayong's navy.
He watched the army set up camp, and all he could see were white tents.
Niu Xiuqing felt that he had forgotten something, and immediately went to the camp of Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian.
"Your Majesty, how long do we have to wait?
Only the navy can join us.
The Navy has enough troop carriers to transport 50,000 people. "
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, was reading telegrams sent from various places.
He was making final arrangements for the war.
He looked up at Niu Xiuqing and handed him a telegraph report: "Don't be too anxious, An Xin is waiting here.
The navy has enough troop transport ships, but Jin's navy troop transport ships are idle.
I pay a certain price and ask the Jin Navy to assist our country in transporting troops.
You don't have to worry about too many troops making it difficult to land.
When our navy reaches the northernmost end of the Red Sea Strait, our armies will land one after another.
Occupy the Sinai Peninsula and the area to the left of Cairo City, cut off reinforcements from various places, and allow the main force to successfully occupy Cairo City. "
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, pointed to the telegram in Niu Xiuqing's hand and changed the subject: "Bian Yu had a great fight with that kid.
They marched extremely fast and had already conquered three cities in a row.
This kid was a little clever, letting the Egyptians take the lead and making it look like the Egyptians were in rebellion.
His approach will attract the main Egyptian players.
If we go a little later, there will be fewer defenders in Cairo. "
After Niu Xiuqing read the telegram, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we are not in a hurry."
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, had a stable mentality and had been waiting at this dock.
Three days later, a huge fleet composed of dozens of warships and hundreds of transport ships arrived near the dock.
Du Dayong commanded the warship to dock in the center of the Red Sea. He asked the engineers to build a pontoon so that the army on the shore could quickly walk to the troop carrier.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, took a small boat and came to the navy's flagship, the battleship Victory.
After the naval governor Du Dayong saluted, he explained the reason for the delay.
“Your Majesty, there is a conflict between the Jin navy and the Ottoman Turkish navy.
The shipping lanes of the Red Sea were blocked, and I failed to arrive on time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, looked at Du Dayong. It was a serious crime to miss the army, but when it came to war, it could not be dealt with too seriously.
"Your navy has made up for its mistakes this time and successfully captured the city of Cairo. The navy has made great contributions.
If you can't even take down the Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy, then you will be punished with multiple crimes. "
Du Dayong was immediately excited and took the naval officers to thank the King of Fujian for lenient punishment.
All soldiers and weapons and equipment of the First Corps boarded the transport ship.
Warships and transport ships raised their sails and headed north as fast as possible.
Even the Ottoman Turkish Empire discovered traces of the fleet.
Their minimum reporting speed is not as fast as the warship's movement.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, looked at both sides of the Taiwan Strait with his binoculars, and saw the panic of the Ottoman Turkish Empire troops.
After the Fujian army took action, they were not afraid that they had been exposed.
He chose to take action at this time because the wind direction was in their favor and the fleet was approaching Cairo at the highest speed possible.
The cruiser clears the way in front of the fleet and clears obstacles for the fleet to move forward.
The small broken ships of the Ottoman Turkish Navy have no strength to compete with the cruisers.
Many ships were destroyed by artillery or burned directly on the sea.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, was blowing the sea breeze and constantly observing the scenes in the north with his telescope.
He saw that the Red Sea, which was originally not wide, suddenly narrowed in front of them. They had reached the Sinai Peninsula.
The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang ordered: "The main force of the navy continues to advance north, and our goal is Cairo City.
The cruiser formation covered the Army's landing, and the Navy had to solve the obstacles to the Army's landing. "
The battleship Victory waved its flag, and the order from the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang was conveyed to every area of the battleship.
The cruiser formation escorted most of the troop carriers and prepared to land at a suitable place.
The battleship Victory also slowed down, and they stared at the forts and troop gatherings on the shore.
The battleship's main guns opened fire to provide fire support for the landing force.
The battleship Victory saw the advance guard of the army, who had landed on the beach.
The First Corps of the Fujian Army is so powerful that it has no fear of any army after landing ashore.
Machine guns and rapid-fire artillery have been brought ashore, and they will be able to hold their position.
The battleship Victory and other major warships saw that the coastal defense guns had lost resistance and immediately sailed northward.
The Victory could vaguely see the land ahead, and they had no way to go.
Its speed slowed and the troop transport overtook the warship.
The battleship Victory had three big holes damaged, one mast was broken, and the sails were all brand new.
When they approached the city of Cairo, the sea surface was extremely narrow, and the warship was attacked by coastal defense artillery from both sides, leaving no place to hide.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, felt lucky that the coastal defense artillery of the Ottoman Turkish Empire looked very large.
But their cannon casting technology and gunpowder technology are not very good.
The power of the coastal defense artillery was not very high. Most of the warships were only injured and did not sink in the Red Sea.
The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang ordered: "When the fleet arrives here, your mission will end.
The navy now provides artillery support to the army and tells Niu Xiuqing to capture Cairo city for me at all costs. "
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, looked at the city of Cairo in front of him and wanted to capture this big city.
Northern Africa is within his grasp. Fujian is powerful and can also touch the Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula.
Niu Xiuqing watched the Navy show off its prestige during this period, and now it was finally the Army's turn to play its role.
He wants Du Dayong to see who is the big brother.
Niu Xiuqing observed the situation on the shore. He made a landing plan and asked his staff to convey it to all armies.
He ordered the army to launch a landing operation, several signal flares were launched into the sky, and passionate drums sounded.
The elite of the First Corps rowed their boats towards the shore.
The vanguard army must deal with the enemies on the shore, and then the large forces can directly land on the shore.
The boats were extremely well-equipped, with some equipped with machine guns and others equipped with rapid-fire cannons.
While the troops rowed hard to the shore, the battleship's main guns were already aimed at the enemies on the shore.
The shells flew over the boat with a screaming sound and directly hit the enemies on the shore.
Zhou Zhixin, commander of the vanguard force, could already see the enemies who were bombarded by artillery and fled in fright.
“Brothers, beat me hard.
Conquer the city of Cairo, make great achievements, and honor your ancestors. "
At Zhou Zhixin's order, rapid-fire cannons and machine guns opened fire on the shore, and the shore was quickly cleared.
He led his men to jump out of the boat, waded through knee-deep water, and charged to the shore.
The sound of gunfire continued. Zhou Zhixin led his men to occupy and hold the tidal flat position.
Simple docks and pontoons were quickly built, and soldiers from the First Corps of the Fujian Army landed in an orderly manner.
Niu Xiuqing landed ashore, leaving part of his army behind to occupy the area around the port.
He led the main army to attack Cairo.
In this raid on Cairo City, as long as the army can successfully land ashore, he will be confident of occupying Cairo City.
