Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Each infantry regiment has 2,000 well-trained soldiers who are responsible for the important task of infantry combat. The artillery regiment has a variety of advanced artillery and artillery units to provide powerful firepower support for the infantry. Such an organizational structure is designed to improve combat effectiveness and ensure the coordinated combat capabilities between various arms, so as to better adapt to different types of combat tasks.

The formation of the Coastal Defense Brigade was also not to be overlooked. Zhu Ji served as the brigade commander, and under it were the Coastal Defense Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Port Guard Regiment 1 and 2, and the Logistics Support Regiment. Each regiment had 2,000 elite soldiers and 8,000 personnel. Their mission was to ensure the safety of the coastline and provide solid support for the fleet.

The total strength of the Eastern Fleet is 30,000. Currently, the original Jinxia Town Navy has 18,000 people, and the Tiandi Army Guards and Marines have drawn a total of 5,000 people, making the current number of the Eastern Fleet reach 23,000.

However, there was still a shortage of 7,000 troops. In response, Chen Si proposed two solutions: one was to recruit local civilians to join the army, and the other was to win over the Green Camp soldiers to surrender. Both solutions were feasible, which could not only quickly replenish troops but also enhance the cohesion of the fleet.

Wei Xiaobao had already made careful arrangements for equipment. He sent the Qinglong ship No. 202 back to Ryukyu to purchase equipment, which was expected to arrive in five days. Including the time for loading and preparation, the first batch of equipment and ships would arrive in Jinxia in twelve days.

These equipment include advanced weapons and ammunition, such as Mauser rifles, hand grenades, and infantry guns, etc. These equipment will greatly enhance the fleet's combat effectiveness, enabling them to gain an advantage in the upcoming battle.

At the meeting, Wei Xiaobao also made an important decision. He requested that all the individual weapons and ammunition in the Yangtze River, Julong, and Qinglong be taken out to support the Eastern Fleet.

These weapons were originally the war reserve materials of the marines of each ship, but now for the sake of the overall situation, all of them were taken out to equip the two infantry regiments. This will enable the Eastern Fleet to quickly improve its combat effectiveness and deal with a medium-sized war of 50,000 people.

Finally, Wei Xiaobao stressed the importance of training. He asked all generals and soldiers to seize the time for training, especially the newly recruited soldiers and generals who had just joined the fleet.

They must master the use of new weapons as soon as possible and improve their ability to cooperate in combat. Because once the Qing court knows that the Jinxiazhen Navy has rebelled, it will definitely send troops to suppress it. This will be a tough battle, and only by being fully prepared can we win.

The generals knew the seriousness of the situation and expressed their willingness to speed up training and fight to defend Jinxia. They knew that only by uniting as one and working together could they defeat the powerful enemy. Under the leadership of Wei Xiaobao, the Eastern Fleet will unite into an invincible force to fight to defend the dignity of China.

After making all the arrangements, Wei Xiaobao boarded the 101 Yangtze River cruiser. The warship braved the wind and waves and sped south along the coastline, heading for Qinzhou's Chengfang Port.

The distance from Xiamen Port to Chengfang Port is not short, about 700 nautical miles. If calculated based on the cruiser's speed of 13 knots per hour, it will take about a day and a half to reach the destination.

The next afternoon, the sun was shining, the sea was sparkling, and the 101 Yangtze River cruiser finally arrived at Qinzhou Chengfang Port.

This port is located at the junction of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province, and its geographical location is very important. Although it later became one of the largest ports in Guangxi, it is now just an ordinary small pier with not many ships docking here.

When the cruiser slowly entered the port, no navy came to greet or inspect it. Perhaps because the local people had never seen such a huge warship, the arrival of the cruiser attracted many local people to come and watch. They were full of curiosity about this behemoth and gathered around the dock, pointing and talking about it.

Wei Xiaobao stood on the deck, looking at the bustling dock, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

The cruiser's first mate Li Bing was promoted to captain. He led a group of naval soldiers ashore to negotiate with the dock officials about the ship's berthing and the replenishment of fresh water and supplies.

Because Li Bing had a full beard and short hair, and did not have a long braid like the people of the Qing Dynasty, he was mistaken for a foreigner by the maritime officials at the dock. These officials did not dare to neglect him and were very enthusiastic, quickly handling the relevant procedures for them.

In the cabin, Wei Xiaobao sat upright, recalling the geographical location information of Chengfang Port and Tianan Temple in his previous life. With his amazing memory, he quickly sketched out a clear route map on a piece of white paper.

Tianan Temple, this ancient and mysterious temple, is quietly located in Sizhou Prefecture, which is Gongcen County, Guizhou Province in later generations. It is about 500 kilometers away from Chengfang Port.

Wei Xiaobao thought that if he used his full strength to perform the "Spiritual Hundred Steps", it would only take about an hour to reach Tian'an Temple. However, if he brought Su Quan, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao with him, the time would probably be extended to two hours.

However, Wei Xiaobao had a headache when he thought of his mother-in-law Chen Yuanyuan. Although she was born into a prostitute family, she hated men with three wives and four concubines. Therefore, if he really brought his three wives to visit Chen Yuanyuan, he would not only fail to please her, but would also be turned away.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao decided to go to Su Quan, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao to discuss it. When he arrived at the cabin, he found that the three of them had packed up neatly and were obviously eager to set off.

Su Quan, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao's faces were filled with anticipation, especially they were extremely excited to meet the stunningly beautiful A Ke's mother Chen Yuanyuan.

Seeing Wei Xiaobao coming over, Ling Zhaoxian couldn't wait to say, "Brother Xiaobao, when are we going to Tianan Temple?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and replied: "We will leave soon. But..."

Before he could finish his words, Ling Zhao had already jumped up with excitement and cheered, "Yeah! I'll be able to see the most beautiful girl soon!" Her face was filled with joy and anticipation, as if she had already seen the beautiful scene in the future.

Ling Zhao had become the emperor, but she was only reserved in the royal palace of Japan. Once she was out of the house, she would return to the image of the innocent, lively and lovely little princess.

However, Su Quan at the side was not so excited. Instead, she frowned and looked at Wei Xiaobao seriously, asking, "Xiaobao, what did you mean by 'but' just now? Explain yourself clearly."
