On the third day, Li Jingxiao notified Li Jianfeng, Li Jiwei, and Gan Wei to attend a meeting in Huizhou Mansion.
Gan Wei and Li Jiwei ran to Guangzhou for the meeting, one from the naval base and the other from Fujian.
And Gan Wei brought a division, and Li Jiwei brought a fleet.
Several people looked at each other, and they all knew what they wanted to do.
"Tell me, how do you do things? Why are there two wild dogs that haven't been cleaned in front of your house?"
Li Jianfeng stood up: "My lord, this is my responsibility. I am the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and I have never captured these two places."
Li Jiwei said: "My lord, I don't blame Governor Li. It's also my fault. After arriving in Guangdong, I have been busy building military ports and cooperating with the Yunnan Military Region in operations. I was unable to capture these two places in time."
Gan Wei also opened his mouth to say something.
Li Jingxiao waved his hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. These two places were given away by Cixi, and I will take them back today."
"The Taipei fleet is on its way. As soon as they arrive, we will go to negotiate with people from these two places."
"If they are sensible, I can allow them to leave directly without taking away anything that does not belong to them."
"If they don't know what's going on, don't blame Mr. Li for telling them to never leave."
"I said forever!"
"yes!"
"Hong Kong and Ma Hong have always been our inherent territories, and I will never allow any forces that do not belong to us to exist on our territory."
"If there is, I will let him disappear from now on!"
"Yes, we promise to take back Xiangjiang and Ma'ang."
"Okay, you go and make arrangements first. This time I will personally lead the troops."
Li Jingxiao had been busy dealing with the Qing Dynasty, and he really forgot about these two places.
When he was visiting Huizhou today, he suddenly heard someone talking about Xiangjiang. The foreigners there didn't regard the people as human beings at all.
And Ma Gang is still in the hands of the Portuguese, and its life is not good either.
Li Jingxiao slapped himself and actually forgot to take back the two places in front of his house.
Li Jianfeng had no choice. He had no one on hand, and the few armed police were only enough to manage the place. Finally, he finally got the South China Sea Fleet.
As a result, the South China Sea Fleet had just arrived in the South China Sea and was still building a military port. France began to attack Yunnan again.
The South China Sea Fleet then began to cooperate with the Yunnan Military Region to deal with France and the Ruan Dynasty.
They cruised around the North Gulf, preventing the French Cochin China fleet from going north openly.
Recently, Li Jianfeng has been negotiating with the South China Sea Fleet on how to recapture Ma Hong Kong and Hong Kong.
Who knew that Li Jingxiao came suddenly, and before they could take back their lost ground, they were scolded by Li Jingxiao.
Another day later, the main engine of the Taipei fleet arrived at the Shantou pier.
There were dozens of warships in the port that day, scaring many foreign merchant ships from docking.
Li Jingxiao boarded the battleship Zheng Chenggong.
"Master."
Li Jingxiao looked at this kid Li Mu, and there were tears in Li Mu's eyes.
"Hahaha, why are you crying? The strong wind is blowing your eyes."
"Hehehe, haven't we seen the young master for a long time?"
"No, it should be the Grand Governor."
"It's just a title. Yes, your body is getting stronger and stronger."
"Much stronger than Li Wen, Li Guang, and Li Tu. I think those three have almost forgotten the martial arts I taught them since childhood."
"The division of labor is different. We train every day, which is definitely different from them. They all use their brains and pens."
"To put it bluntly, we are just the same old gangsters."
"Don't treat yourself like a boss. It's not easy for me to train you. Both the navy and the army need reform in the future."
"The future is mechanized warfare, and these warships you see will be eliminated in the future."
"Warships are being upgraded all the time. You must also keep improving. You must be able to adapt to new warships and continue to win battles."
"Alright Grand Governor, please call in Grand Governor, we will anchor and set sail soon."
Li Jingxiao looked at Zheng Yong.
"Grand Governor, you will be the head coach this time, and Li Jiwei and I will be your deputies."
"It's up to you to do the naval battle. Professionals do professional things."
"You will be the commander, and Li Jiwei will be the deputy commander."
"yes."
Li Jiwei also had no objection.
Twenty-one capital ships from the two fleets, as well as some comprehensive supply ships, and a dozen troop transport ships headed for Ma Port in a mighty manner.
They plan to take Ma Gang first.
Magang As early as 1553 during the Ming Dynasty, the Folangji people bribed local officials in Guangdong and were allowed to dock ships at the Magang Pier for trade.
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing (1557), the Folangji people entered and began to live in Ma Gang.
After the Yip War in the 20th year of Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1840), Fo Lang took advantage of the defeat of the Qing government and successively occupied Taipa Island and Coloane Island south of Ma Port.
In the past, Fo Langji could still pay rent to the Qing Dynasty. In the later period, the Qing Dynasty had no time to take care of itself, and Guangdong and other places were captured by the Tenglong Army.
Fo Langji is encroaching on Ma Harbor bit by bit and wants to completely occupy Ma Harbor.
What's ridiculous is that the original Qing Dynasty and the French government actually asked an Englishman to negotiate, but in the end they were sold and still paid money.
The fleet sailed toward Ma Port in a mighty manner.
Avila, the 89th Governor of Ma Harbor, quickly received this information.
"Oh, I knew these stupid people wouldn't let us go."
"Sure enough, they still came. I didn't expect them to come so quickly. Most of our property has not been transferred yet."
The assistant below said: "Mr. Governor, what should we do next? We only have two thousand soldiers."
"Let me think."
"Gilmari, please immediately ask Fernando to ask the soldiers to set up the cannon for me. I want to go and negotiate with the other side in person."
"Oh, Lord Governor, you can't go in person, it's too risky."
"Jilmary, I have to go. This is my duty. I will try my best to protect the reputation of our Franji and the interests in Ma'ang."
"My Lord Governor, I will go with you."
Avila nodded.
On the Tenglong Army side, fleet commanders Zheng Yong and Li Jingxiao stood on the command platform of the battleship Zheng Chenggong with firm eyes.
This time they attacked Ma Gang first because Fo Langji was relatively weak.
But for the dignity and territorial integrity of the Tenglong Empire, they must go all out and not dare to be careless.
The Tenglong fleet soon arrived in the waters near Ma Gang Island's fort, and Fo Langji on the opposite side was already waiting.
More than twenty battleships took an offensive posture under Zheng Yong's order.
Three rows of flying geese were approaching Ma Harbor.
"Grand Governor, the other party has a ship approaching and wants to negotiate with us."
"Let him come up."
"yes."
Avila quickly boarded the Tenglong Army warship.
Zheng Yong and Li Jingxiao were sitting in the command room.
Avila brought several people to the command room and sat across from him.
Zheng Yong began: "My name is Zheng Yong, and I am the commander of the Taipei Fleet of the Soaring Navy."
"We don't want to be your enemy this time, we just want to get back what originally belonged to us."
"We also want to recover the debt you have owed us over the years."
