The three-masted ship with the logo of Aquaman Trident is four stories high in total.

In terms of size and displacement, this three-masted ship is not far from the Five Peak ship that Wang Zhi became famous for.

In the third floor cabin of the big ship, there is a spacious and comfortable room with full facilities. The captain's room is the captain's room. In the captain's room, a group of Flangers are surrounding Wang Zhi in the middle.

Wang Zhi sat in front of a small square table, with a nautical map spread in front of him.

His right index finger pointed at a small dot on the map and said, "That's right, just hit this place!"

"Where is there? It seems that it is not Fujian. We are going to attack Fujian. Why do we have to attack there?" A Folang Ji asked in confusion.

Wang Zhi smiled and said, "If it were the past, then you don't have to attack here. But now, you must attack here first.

Let me tell you the truth. I just came out of Fuzhou and fell on the sea after encountering a shipwreck. I can’t understand the situation in Fuzhou better.

Today, Fuzhou has 8,000 naval troops and 400 warships. In addition, there are many elite defenders. Even if your ships are strong and cannons are strong, are you sure you can conquer Fuzhou at one time?

If you can't get Fuzhou at one time, what should you do? There is no base for retreat, how long can the fresh water on your ship support the food?

At that time, the Ming Navy will not need to fight with you. It just needs to stabilize the position and defend slowly. If you enter, they will defend, if you retreat, they will chase you and surround you.

When your supplies are consumed, you will lose without attacking yourself. Oh, the meaning of losing without attacking yourself means that you don’t need others to attack you, and you will lose first."

"What will be helpful for attacking this place first?" asked another Folang Jiren.

"What help?" Wang Zhi chuckled, "It's so great that it's going to be."

Wang Zhi knocked at the place he pointed to and said, "Where is this place? It is the Penghu Islands of the Penghu Islands."

"The islands are listed in this area, the harbors are intertwined, and the terrain is dangerous. It is the natural dividing line between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Since ancient times, this has been a must-fight place for military strategists.

We just need to take this place first and then rely on this place. When attacking Fujian, we can move forward and retreat freely even if there is a slight discomfort.

In short, if you want to successfully win Fujian, then Penghu Island is a must-fight place.”

"Okay, we believe in you, so we will start with Penghu Island first." said one of the tallest Flang Jimen.

In Fuzhou, Jiang Xia had just received a letter of appointment from Yu Dayou and Liang Jinghai who were sent back from the capital. After he handed the letter of appointment to Yu Dayou, he would have basically finished his work in Fujian.

Jiang Xia wrote a Fujian Civil Affairs Outline, preparing to hand it over to officials from Fujian to prefectures and counties, and asked them to do as they were written in the outline, so that Fujian's economy could be restored earlier and prepared for the upcoming customs trade.

That night, Jiang Xia summoned Yu Dayou, Liang Jinghai, Lu Sanfa and others to have a meal in Manfu Building, and planned to set off from Fuzhou tomorrow and return to the capital.

Although this meal was filled with some reluctance to part, it was a joy for the guests and hosts, and everyone drank a lot of wine.

With Jiang Xia's alcohol tolerance, Xue Ruqin and Su Meiniang finally helped her back to the room.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Xia was still sleeping peacefully, and suddenly "bang bang..." knocked on the door.

Jiang Xia shouted impatiently: "Who? You dare to disturb me, but you don't want to live anymore?"

"Brother Jiang, stop sleeping, wake up quickly, something big happened!" Han Mufeng's anxious voice came into the room.

Jiang Xia still closed her eyes and murmured: "What big thing? What big thing can happen? The sky is falling?"

"Yesterday, people from the Penghu Village Inspection Department arrived at the Fuzhou Wharf and said that Penghu Island was forcibly occupied by a group of red-haired ghosts, and the entire Penghu Village Inspection Department suffered heavy casualties."

"Oh, Penghu Village was beaten. If you beat it, just beat it. Then ask someone to beat it back."

Jiang Xia still answered lazily.

Han Mufeng, who was standing outside the door, was speechless. Facing Jiang Xia's words, he really didn't know how to refute them.

Han Mufeng stomped his feet and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a scream came from Jiang Xia's room: "What? Penghu Island was beaten by a red-haired ghost? What red-haired ghost, is it a Folang Jiren?"

Before Han Mufeng could answer, Jiang Xia shouted in the room: "Bastard! Just Portugal dares to come and provoke me. He is so fucking tired of living, right?

Also, who did he teach them? It’s useless to hit Penghu Island for them. What are they planning to do? Are they trying to slowly grind Fujian to death?"

It didn't take long before Jiang Xia's door opened.

Jiang Xia said hurriedly, "Where are Ma Yunlong and the others? Where are Yu Dayou and Liang Jinghai and the others?"

"We are all waiting for you in the front yard." Han Mufeng said.

Jiang Xia nodded, "Okay, let's go."

Jiang Xia pulled Han Mufeng and walked quickly to the hall in the front yard. In the hall, Ma Yunlong, Yu Dayou, Liang Jinghai, Gao Jia, Qiu Wenshi and others were all there.

Ma Yunlong is most familiar with naval battles, so he ordered people to support a sea area plan and pointing at Penghu Island to introduce the situation to everyone.

Seeing Jiang Xia come out, everyone saluted Jiang Xia and shouted, "See Lord."

Jiang Xia waved his right hand and said, "No need to be too polite."

After saying that, he looked at the sea map that was supported by the lobby and said, "I believe Yunlong has told you about the situation just now? This time the situation is very bad."

Jiang Xia walked to the drawings and said, "Penghu Islands are at the center of Xiaoliuqiu, and are the most important strategic obstacles in the southeastern waters.

Its harbor is winding and complex, with natural defense convenience, and is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the past, due to the presence of Japanese pirates, the imperial court used the response method of stabbing the walls and clearing the fields, so the Penghu Village Inspection Department was abolished. I just reset the Penghu Village Inspection Department ten days ago and arranged for people to go to Penghu Island. But before the butt was hot, it was actually taken away by someone.

Logically speaking, Penghu Island is now a deserted island. Except for the pirates and pirates who lived on it before, there were no other birds and eggs.

Those Portugals, oh, no. The Florians would take advantage of our unpreparedness to capture the place first by force. Then they can meet, their goal is..."

"Fujian!" Yu Dayou immediately figured out this problem.

Yu Dayou looked on the drawings and his face changed slightly, "It's really troublesome now."

Jiang Xia looked at Yu Dayou with appreciation and said, "Since you have seen the trick, then you can finish it."

Yu Dayou knew that this was Jiang Xia's chance to show his performance. He nodded and stood up and walked to the drawings. "If those red-haired ghosts did not take Penghu, then their first target of attack would definitely be Fuzhou, because the sea area here is the widest, and even if the attack is not good, they can retreat smoothly.

But now that the red-haired ghost has captured Penghu Island, the situation has changed. They can choose one of the four ports between Quanzhou and Fuzhou to attack and land.

Because we didn't know where they would attack, we could only disperse our troops and stationed in four ports at the same time.

In this way, the troops in our four ports will be very weak. It would be fine if the red-haired ghost is short of troops, but if the troops are large enough, we may not be able to defend a port."

"That's right. That's the situation." Jiang Xia pointed and agreed with Yu Dayou's statement.

As the commander of the navy, Ma Yunlong is a person who is proficient in naval warfare and has studied many sea areas of the Ming Dynasty. But at this moment, he had to look at Jiang Xia and Yu Dayou with admiration.

As far as he knows, this is Jiang Xia's first time in Fujian. However, he is so familiar with Penghu Island, a deserted island that was ignored by the Ming Dynasty for a long time, which shows that Jiang Xia has put in effort in this regard.

As for Yu Dayou, he had a very extraordinary experience at a young age, and he could tell the crux of the problem in one word.

Gao Jia and others frowned, and could not think of any good idea for a while. They were not familiar with naval forces, so they could not see any tricks at all.

Ma Yunlong asked Jiang Xia: "Sir, is it time to contact Guangdong and Zhejiang to send reinforcements?"

Jiang Xia shook her head after thinking about it, "It should be too late. Since the other party knows to seize Penghu Island first, he will definitely not give us time to send reinforcements from Guangxi and Zhejiang."

Ma Yunlong frowned and couldn't help asking Jiang Xia: "What should I do now? Should I just wait for the red-haired ghost to come ashore and we will fight them?"

Jiang Xia also frowned.

This is definitely not possible.

Penghu Island, Penghu Island, who is the master who gave such a sinister and vicious move to the red-haired ghost?

As long as the Red-haired Ghost has enough troops, Jiangxia and others will divide their troops to guard the four ports between Quanzhou and Fuzhou, which is not much different from the lack of guarding.

According to what Ma Yunlong said, let them get ashore and then fight them again. This is simply impossible.

With Penghu Island as its retreating stronghold, the red-haired ghost would only quickly go ashore and rob, and then immediately retreat to retreat to Penghu Island.

Jiang Xia and the others were unable to provide assistance at all.

If this continues, Fujian will be slowly consumed by them and the losses will be huge.

Jiang Xia pondered, how should he deal with the situation in front of him?

Finally, Jiang Xia sighed and said, "Forget it, let's try the forces of these red-haired ghosts first. If the troops are sufficient, I will bet with him."

"A gamble?" Everyone was stunned. How could they bet on this?

Jiang Xia thought about it and shook her head, saying, "It's not just a bet, to be precise, four bets. And all four must be won, not lose."

"I wrote two warrants later, but Yunlong still sent them to Guangdong and Zhejiang to send reinforcements. This time we won the bet, but if we lost the bet, we would have a backup plan anyway."

"Yes." Ma Yunlong responded, and his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

Before, I was very sure of Jiangxia's attempt to eliminate pirates and attack Matsuurazu. However, using the word gambling is a manifestation of lack of confidence.
