Although there were only two Qing cargo ships arriving in Temasek, they were all medium-sized cargo ships, but the sensation caused was not small. In the past two years, the large fleet of the Qing Dynasty's "Eight Banners Trading" has passed by many of Temasek's periphery, but they have never stopped in Temasek, and they all went directly to Malacca. All the goods have never flowed out and were all wrapped up by the Portuguese. In response, the East India companies of Western countries have repeatedly protested to the "Eight Banners Trading" and the Portuguese East India Company. Unfortunately, the "Eight Banners Trading" ignored the protests of the countries at all. As for the Portuguese East India Company,

They were blindly pretending to be confused and refused to share the goods they had received to various countries. This led to the fact that merchants from all countries had to rely on those private merchant ships that arrived sporadically if they wanted to get the goods from the Qing Dynasty. Two medium-sized trucks such as the "Chengfeng" came together, which was considered rare. Now, the two Qing cargo ships had just arrived. Not only did the British East India Company wait at the dock, but most of the local merchants also rushed to the scene. Many merchants from Spain, which were originally just replenishing supplies in Temasek, also sent people to welcome them, waiting to negotiate with the owners from the Qing Dynasty.

The negotiation is naturally necessary. Originally, in the business, the Qing cargo ships came from thousands of miles away, so they naturally wanted to sell goods, so they would not do anything to keep people from thousands of miles away. Of course, the Qing merchant ships arrived a little late, and it was almost dusk, so they could not start trading immediately with all the people crowded on the dock. They just distributed some cargo samples and price lists, and agreed to the official trading time tomorrow, so they sent most of the merchants who arrived. Only a servant of a Chinese merchant took advantage of the chaos on the dock and was directly led to the secret room where Wang Kuan was.

"Minister Chen Shuangnan, the special operations department of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau, kowtowed General Wang!"

Once someone introduced Major General Wang Kuan, who was responsible for this sneak attack on Temasek, the man equipped with servant immediately fell to the ground and rushed to worship according to the court's rules.

"Major Chen doesn't have to do this. Can the enemy situation in the city change now?"

Although the official titles of the two sides are very different, they are not in the same system. Wang Kuan naturally would not put on an official airs in front of Chen Shuangnan, but he did not greet him many times. When he waved his hand, he had already made a direct reply to the topic.

"If you go back to General Wang, everything is normal. The news of the destruction of the enemy's joint fleet has not been returned yet, and there is no change in military key areas in various places."

Chen Shuangnan is not the head of Temasek of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau. His nominal boss Chen Jincheng is the real host. It is just because he is worried that something will go wrong. Chen Jincheng did not dare to see Wang Kuan in person, but asked Chen Shuangnan to do his job. As the messenger, Chen Shuangnan had already remembered all the situations of Temasek. At this time, when he heard Wang Kuan's question, he did not dare to go lightly, and quickly responded respectfully.

"Well, since that's the case, then let Major Chen take a closer look at the enemy situation on this map."

Wang Kuan did not comment on Chen Shuangnan's words, but simply nodded quietly, raised his hand, pointed to a Temasek map placed on the table, and gave a calm command.

"Yes, general, please see, this is Juehou Island (now Sentosa Island) where the port is entered. There is a fortress with a total of twenty-two heavy artillery gates and 287 defenders. This is a big lighthouse, responsible for guarding movements everywhere. There are also a squad of Great Britain soldiers stationed. There is also a Johor Battery, with a total of twelve heavy artillery gates and 127 soldiers stationed. The Portuguese in the direction of Malacca. As for the walls on the front of the castle, there are eighteen heavy artillery gates, which are stationed by a company of soldiers, which can echo the Juehou Island Fortress. The artillery fire can cover the entire port area. As for the remaining 500 soldiers in Great Britain, they are stationed in the military camps in the south of the city."

Since Wang Kuan had some instructions, Chen Shuangnan did not dare to neglect it. He quickly stepped to the table, pointed to the map, and explained the distribution of the British garrison in detail.

"Well, if you are lucky, Major Chen will go back and notify Lieutenant Colonel Chen, everything will be carried out according to the scheduled plan. Is there any problem?"

Wang Kuan did not ask in detail about the situation of the garrison mentioned by Chen Shuangnan. It was just that Wang Kuan was already familiar with the information before going to the expedition. Not only that, he also led his troops to practice too many times on the simulation field, and had repeatedly deduced the entire action plan to capture various key passes. The reason why he asked Chen Shuangnan again was just out of caution.

"Make sure to complete the task!"

Since Wang Kuan showed his intention to expel the guests, Chen Shuangnan did not dare to postpone it any more. He quickly bowed respectfully, then withdrew from the cabin, sneaked back to the city on his own, and discussed with Chen Jincheng not to mention it...

"Comparison! Now it's the Yin hour!"

The Yin Shih was the real sign, the night was already deep, and the silence on the dock that had been noisy for a day. All the boats that were docked on the dock were pitch black, and only a few angrily wind lights were still shining brightly and extinguishingly. The same was true on the "Chengfeng". It was just in the dark, but dozens of men covered with black mud were closely lined up in the aisle of the cabin. Wang Kuan stood in front of the queue, glanced at the men who had already made a disguise expressionlessly, raised his hand, took out a pocket watch from his chest, and shouted in a low voice.

With Wang Kuan's order, the silent soldiers took out pocket watches from the waterproof backpack behind them, and quickly adjusted the pocket watch according to the time Wang Kuan reported, and then neatly put the pocket watch into the backpack, tightened the seal at the backpack, and then looked at Wang Kuan with a bright look.

"Set off!"

Wang Kuan did not make any pre-war mobilization, nor did he explain any tactical principles. He just waved his hand and gave the order with a solemn expression. Then he saw a platoon of soldiers walking out of the cabin, jumping to the side of the ship like a raccoon, following the soft ladder that had been prepared on the side of the ship, slowly and quickly got into the water one after another, and almost silently swam to Juehou Island where he entered the port.

"Paipa."

After watching the last soldier who raided Juehou Island get into the water, Wang Kuan did not turn back the cabin, but walked a few big steps to the side of the ship adjacent to another cargo ship, "Oriental", and gently slapped his palms. Then, he saw seven figures wearing black tight night clothes walking out of the dark cabin. The leading man with a strong masked man quickly made a gesture to Wang Kuan with the help of the dim light of the fury wind lamp, and silently led his subordinates to slide down the empty dock along the pre-prepared soft ladder, sneaking and touching the lighthouse built on a high cliff on the left side of the port.

The high cliff is extremely steep, almost straight up from the shore for more than 60 meters. The only path to the cliff is not on one side of the port, but on the other side of the cliff. You have to pass through Temasek City and pass through the British military camp. It is obvious that there is no possibility to touch the cliff along the path, and climbing up the cliff is not a simple matter. However, this is not a problem to sneak into the seven Qing Marines under the cliff. There is nothing else.

Because all these seven people were absolutely masters selected from the army, all of them were first-class skills in the world, especially the leader Yan Tianming, the soldier king of the entire Marine Corps. His martial arts were all about to be a master. However, when he saw his body carrying a thick hemp rope and his bare hands, he climbed up along the cliff quickly. His body flashed, and he was as quick as a monkey. As long as there were a few water horns on the cliff, they were all places where he could use his strength. With just a dozen ups and downs, he had already climbed to the top of the cliff.

The lighthouse is at the highest point of Temasek, and it can overlook the surrounding dozens of nautical miles, which undoubtedly has extremely important strategic significance. As a maritime power, the British naturally would not ignore the important places such as the lighthouse. Although the living conditions on the high cliffs are actually very bad, the British still arranged a squad of soldiers to be on guard at the lighthouse. Not only were there people on duty at the top of the lighthouse on day and night, but the same was true under the tower. Just now, Yan Tianming had just poked his head out from the top of the cliff and saw two tall British soldiers patrolling back and forth on the cliff with rifles. Even though the night was deep, the two soldiers were not slacking off at all.

Although the two British soldiers were not particularly alert, they always kept a distance of several meters between them. It was obviously not easy to kill the two people in one fell swoop. If you were not careful, you might start to alarm the soldiers on duty on the lighthouse. Once they were sent out an alarm signal, even if they took down the lighthouse, it would inevitably affect the deployment of the entire night attack battle. This was obviously not a burden that Yan Tianming could bear.

"Chala."

It may be more difficult for others to solve the dilemma in front of you than climbing the sky, but it is not very difficult for Yan Tianming, who had been accustomed to assassination. However, seeing him climbing on the edge of the cliff with one hand, he listened carefully for a while and had already confirmed that the only two sentries were under the lighthouse. His heart suddenly relaxed, and his empty left hand gently wiped the edge of the cliff, picked up a tiny piece of gravel, and with a snap of his finger, he shot the gravel at the other side of the cliff. He suddenly made a light sound in the dark night. The two alarmed sentries immediately raised their guns and headed towards the sound.
