Daming Military Empire

Chapter 543 The Battle Will Begin

The adjustment of the navy is completed, and the affairs of the Daming Royal Shipping Company are basically settled, and the next step is the deployment of the navy.

In fact, the latest world map had already been spread out on the conference table, and the positions of the various army regiments were even marked on it. The Siberia area was marked in great detail. One could tell at a glance that it was an all-round combat map, but your majesty When it wasn't about combat, everyone naturally didn't pay attention to it, especially the admirals who were sitting with their heads up and their chests upright, staring ahead, without even glancing at the map on the table.

At this moment, Zhu Cijiong finally picked up the white wax pole at hand, and said loudly: "Next, I will announce the latest deployment of the various naval corps."

Hearing this, all the admirals looked at the map on the conference table in unison.

Zhu Cijiong pointed to the Eurasian Canal on the map and said loudly: "Zheng Xing."

Zheng Xing heard the words, stood up with a swipe, raised his head and chest, and said loudly: "The end is here."

Zhu Cijiong continued: "I order you to lead the South China Sea Fleet to station at the Eurasian Canal, keep an eye on the situation at both ends of the European Canal, and send fast ships to Mumbai Port every day to report to the Ministry of War."

Zheng Xing saluted quickly, and said loudly: "The final general will obey the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, motioned him to sit down, then pointed to Xingcheng Port on the map and said loudly: "Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Cai."

Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Cai stood up when they heard the words, and said in unison: "The end is here."

Zhu Cijiong continued: "Order the two of you to lead the Nanyang Navy and the Naval Reserve Corps to station in Nanyang, and always pay attention to the situation in the waters towards the Cape of Good Hope, and also report to the Ministry of War every day."

Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Caishua saluted and said in unison: "The final general will obey the order."

Zhu Cijiong said to Zheng Chenggong again: "Success, you will preside over the overall situation in the Nanyang Governor's Mansion, and pay attention to keep in touch with the Ministry of War."

Zheng Chenggong heard the words, stood up with a swipe, saluted and said: "My minister obeys the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded and motioned them to sit down, then pointed to the line of East Daying and South Daying on the map and said loudly: "Huanglong."

Hearing this, Huang Long stood up abruptly, raised his head and chest, and said loudly: "The end is here."

Zhu Cijiong continued: "I order you to lead the Beiyang Navy to garrison the Dongdaying, and send warships to patrol the eastern and southeastern coasts of Daming to prevent pirates from making trouble."

Huang Long saluted quickly, and said loudly: "The final general will obey the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, motioned him to sit down, then pointed to the Ob River on the map and said loudly: "Yang Geng."

Hearing this, Yang Geng stood up abruptly, raised his head and chest, and said loudly: "The end is here."

Zhu Cijiong continued: "I order you to lead the North Sea Fleet into the Ob River Basin, clear all Tsarist Russian naval ships, and prepare for the army to attack the Ob River Basin."

Yang Geng saluted quickly, and said loudly: "The final general will obey the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, motioned him to sit down, then pointed to Ye Nihe on the map and said loudly: "Chen Hui."

Hearing this, Chen Hui stood up abruptly, raised his head and chest, and said loudly: "The end is here."

Zhu Cijiong continued: "I order you to lead the East China Sea Fleet to stay in the Yeni River Basin, and cooperate with Field Marshal Lu Xiangsheng to do a good job in supporting tasks such as troop transfer, material delivery, and fire support."

Chen Hui quickly saluted, and said loudly: "The final general will obey the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, motioned him to sit down, then pointed to Ye Nihe on the map and continued: "Zheng Ming, Shi Daxuan."

Zheng Ming and Shi Daxuan heard the words, stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "The last general (little man) is here."

Zhu Cijiong continued: "The two of you mixed up the employees of the Arctic Fleet and the Daming Royal Shipping Company, and drove [-] Fuchuan warships to Yenihe to assist Chen Hui in the transfer of troops and the delivery of supplies."

Zheng Ming and Shi Daxuan saluted each, and said loudly: "The last general (little man) obeys the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded and motioned him to sit down, then put down the white wax pole in his hand, turned to Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua and said, "Menghou, Chuyang, let's see how much grain, grass and luggage in the capital need to be transported to Jiandou. , Immediately organize a special train to transport them to Dongdaying. There are [-] super battleships and [-] Fuchuan battleships going to the front line. In addition to their own food and supplies, they can also transport a lot of things there. "

Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua hurriedly clasped their hands together and said in unison: "My minister obeys the order."

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, and then continued: "Let's ship it for three days, as much as you can load in three days, and then use the train to pull over if you can't finish it. Time waits for no one, and they can't delay here for too long."

Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua clasped their hands again and said in unison: "I understand."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, waved his hand and said, "Let's go here today, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Ming, Shi Daxuan, you all wait in Dongdaying for three days, and the others will turn around immediately to guard the area they are in charge of, and the meeting will end."

All the generals of the navy resigned after hearing the news, while Zhu Cijiong rushed back to the capital directly with his entourage including Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua.

The meeting was held in the morning, and in the afternoon of the same day, trains loaded with grain, grass and supplies arrived at Dongdaying one after another.

At this time, the Dongdaying Railway Station was already full of soldiers of the Ming army. Under the command of Yang Geng, Chen Hui and others, they went up one by one, unloading the grain, grass and luggage from the train and loading them on the flatbed. , pushed to the port, unloaded the cargo, and pushed the flatbed back to the railway station.

The pier of Dongdaying Xingang was full of veterans in gray and old uniforms. They also lined up in square formations, and Zheng Ming and Shi Daxuan quickly loaded the supplies on the super battleships and Fuchuan warships moored at the port.

After a train full of supplies entered Dongdaying Railway Station, it quickly left the railway station with empty carriages and returned to the capital to continue loading. In Dongdaying Xingang, it was the opposite. Empty super battleships He Fuchuan battleship entered the port, and soon returned to the sea with a full load.

The super battleships and Fuchuan warships on the sea also lined up neatly in square formations. They were like queuing up to receive lunch boxes. One by one, they left the queue and sailed into the port. After being filled with supplies, they slowly returned to their own queue. Methodical.

Trains from all over the country are still converging to the capital. In the next two days, the entire railway from the capital to Dongdaying is almost full of special trains for the transfer of supplies from the Ministry of War, the major warehouses, arsenals, and railway stations of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War in the capital. The railway station and port in Hedong Daying are loading and unloading materials almost day and night.

Dongdaying is better here, because there used to be 10 soldiers from the Second Corps of the Imperial Guard, and later gathered 20 new troops from the Arctic Fleet, 3 veterans from various places, and the North Sea Fleet. He and the East China Sea Fleet brought the Fuchuan battleship back to replace the soldiers of the super battleship, and Shi Daxuan had nearly 40 people, and a total of nearly [-] people, so it was no problem to take turns loading and unloading supplies.

The capital is a bit stretched, because there are only [-] soldiers from the First Corps of the Imperial Guard in the capital at this time, and they can't all come over to help load supplies, so in the beginning, the capital's load alone is not as good as the East Camp The speed of unloading, transshipment and loading over there is fortunately that the population of the capital is frighteningly large. Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua recruited [-] young and strong laborers with a random move, so that the loading speed can catch up with Dongdaying.

By the third day, the supplies that needed to be transported to Siberia were basically loaded on the Navy’s super battleships and the Fuchuan battleships of the Daming Royal Shipping Company. After a burst of sirens, the super battleships and Fuchuan battleships lined up in order. In the big camp, a frighteningly large fleet is slowly sailing north. When they arrive, the Great War in Siberia will kick off!
