.As soon as he got off the ship in Ningbo, he met Li Kaifang, the new governor of Zhejiang who personally arranged the coastal defense here.

Li Kaifang enthusiastically accompanied King An to inspect the newly prepared Zhenhai Sea Defense Fortress. "Your Highness, the configuration of artillery here and Dinghai Fortress still needs to be strengthened. In addition, we focus on the construction of the water camp, to ensure that our Celestial Fishermen are not threatened by pirates, and to cooperate with Shanghai to participate in the blockade of nearby waters."

"Well, it's not bad. Zhejiang has become the rear of the Celestial Empire. Apart from construction and conscription and support, the first priority is to ensure the safety of the coastline." Lin Haifeng was very satisfied with the arrangement here. "The self-casting work of artillery can be done, but don't overdo it, and don't waste too much manpower and natural resources on old artillery. The new equipment of Tianjing Ordnance will be given priority to the various coastal defense military fortresses."

"There is the current fortress equipment, even if Qing Yao dares to come, he will not get any advantage." Li Kaifang laughed, "Good weapons should be given priority to equip the front-line combat troops."

"Where are the foreigners coming?" Lin Haifeng tilted his head and looked at him.

"Foreign people?" Li Kaifang was stunned, "How come they... dare to come?"

"Who said they dare not come?" Lin Haifeng looked at the mighty cannons and the energetic fortress soldiers. His hand pointed at the sea in front. "You must never have such thoughts. You must always remember that this is the country's gate. Our enemies will come at any time, from the front, and perhaps from behind. Be vigilant. Any slight carelessness will bring great danger and the price of blood."

As he said that, he looked at his watch and at 10 o'clock in the morning, "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, we still have to rush forward."

"Your Highness, it's almost noon. Let's leave after lunch. Brothers want to stay with you for a while?" Li Kaifang looked at the soldiers around him and asked.

"No, you have your tasks, and I have my tasks." Lin Haifeng smiled, "When the world is peaceful, I will come to see you warriors who defend the territory of the motherland every day, as long as you are not upset."

Just as he was about to step, he suddenly looked back at the soldiers on various cannon positions, "Did everyone sing our 'Sky Warrior Song'?"

"Yes!" The answer was neat and loud.

"We sing every week." Li Kaifang added.

"Haha, that's OK, let's face our Tian Dynasty flag together for a spiritual meal." Lin Haifeng walked towards the golden flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flying high on the fortress flagpole and raised his right hand.

"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall! When the Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time, everyone is forced to let out the last roar. Get up! Get up! We are united and advance with the enemy's artillery fire! Go forward with the enemy's artillery fire..."

Zuo Zongtang can't sing, of course, it's the first time he has heard it. But he can watch it, listen it, and think about it even more. In his mind, Shi Dakai is different from other officials of the Celestial Empire. Shi Dakai is wise, agile, and has a strategy. But the An King in front of him is different from Shi Dakai.

Before getting off the boat, he heard the soldiers on the boat singing the March of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army, and the sailors said goodbye to their respected King An. Now, it is their King An who is singing to say goodbye to his brave soldiers. He does not eat, but wants to enjoy a song book together. Two songs and two inspiring lyrics. This King An is not only educating and cultivating soldiers how to face their enemies, but instilling something into them from the bone book.

Compared with Zeng Guofan's so-called new idea of ​​building an army, Zeng's method is simply unremarkable. King An did it more thoroughly and perfectly. Everything on a person is easily destroyed, and the only thing that is difficult to eliminate is thought. An army that is truly armed with one kind of thought is an invincible army. Two seemingly simple songs, if you think about it carefully, aren't it faster and better than those red tape preaching?

"The Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time!" Yes, it is dangerous. At this moment, he thought of the iron kneeling statues in front of the Confucian Temple in Xiangxiang. He felt the heavy weight of the braided book on his head. He is also a literati, and he now sees Lin Haifeng like this. What have he done for his own nation? What have he done? He can't help but feel ashamed.

His Highness King An and his group left the fortress, and the soldiers on the fortress were still standing solemnly, watching their Highness go away.

"Today is the sun book for the tooth-killing ceremony. Your Highness should have had dinner with us before leaving." After a long time, a young gunman turned his head and looked at the company commander beside him, and said regretfully, "Company Commander, I really want to see how your Highness was having dinner with you while telling stories to everyone."

The company commander smiled, walked to the shiny cannon, picked up a rag, and wiped it hard, "The war is going to start in the south. Your Highness has a lot of things. As long as we pay attention to the fortress, in your words, we should pay attention to our country. The song of the warriors of the heavenly army can float on the blue sky above our heads every day, and Your Highness will be happier than what good things you have eaten. Your Highness always counts his words, and there will be a chance in the future."

The gunman also picked up the rag and smiled, "Company Commander, does Your Highness always smile like this? You haven't lost your temper and cursed?"

"You guy, why would Your Highness curse?" The company commander also smiled. "In front of our ordinary brothers, Your Highness is always so approachable and has never heard Your Highness scold anyone. However, if our old brigade commander and others, they must have been scolded, especially our Company Commander Chen, who has been scolded a lot."

"Oh, it's better to teach the brigade. I won't even see a beautiful book like now."

"Of course, our teaching brigade always takes the lead." The company commander raised his head proudly and immediately felt something was wrong, "But this place is also important. The foreign ghost book came from here."

"Zhenhai and Dinghai opposite are all very loud, but they can't resist the foreign ghost book in the hands of Qing Yao. Now that we are here, no one can touch this place again." The cannon leader slapped the thick cannon barrel hard.

Under the leadership of Lin Fengxiang and Huang Zaixing, the headquarters of the Eastern Expedition Army was originally stationed in Lishui, and the teaching brigade also served as the security task of Lishui. A month ago, Qin Rigang, Zeng Shuiyuan's Red Second Army and the Red Third Army went to Fujian and took down Jianyang and Fu'an respectively, forming a bridgehead for attacking Fujian. Therefore, with the arrival of Lin Haifeng, the headquarters and the teaching brigade entered Qingyuan in southern Zhejiang. This is also the location of the Red First Army's headquarters.

After the combat orders of the Red Second Army and the Red Third Army were issued, the Red First Army and independent divisions, which were still preparing for war in southern Zhejiang, as well as the heads of the teaching brigade, were gathered at the headquarters.

"According to the information obtained, since our army successfully recovered Jianyang and Fu'an, Wang Yide, the governor of the Man Yao Qing, Fujian and Zhejiang, in order to resist the next large-scale combat operations of our army and to block Fuzhou, he sent his Fujian Governor Lu Qisun and Zhangzhou Town General Rao Ting to select Nanping and Sanming, and Jiangnan Admiral Deng Shaoliang to guard Ningde. There are more than 20,000 Qing Yaos pieced together in these places. In addition, the Qing Yaos trained nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in Fuzhou City were ready to rescue all places at any time. In order to disrupt the overall deployment of Qing Yaos as soon as possible, the headquarters decided to follow the Qing Yaos' ideas, the Red Second Army and the Three Armed Forces feinted Nanping and Ningde to attract their attention. The Red First Army and the Teaching Brigade took this opportunity to go directly to Fuzhou..."

After Huang Zaixing talked about the combat deployment, he looked at King An and Lin Fengxiang, who is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Lin Haifeng smiled and nodded at Lin Fengxiang.
