[Chapter 971]
Every detail of the shark catching plan had been carefully deployed by Shen Liangqiu before he set off, and everyone under his command knew what their respective tasks were.

In order to be unexpected and not be discovered by the black tiger sharks on the island, the ship naturally does not go to the shore. All those involved in the operation must change to the water and then dive to the shore. This is not a problem for the sailors. Next, all the soldiers in the East China Sea were originally water mice, with excellent water quality. It was a piece of cake to dive and land, but Wu Dalin’s group was a little troublesome.
According to the plan, Wu Dalin and others would also land on the shore to defend one side, but four of the ten people were not good at water.
Although Wu Dalin and others are also from the military, they are all on land, and they have never been trained in water. They suddenly have to dive in the deep sea.
Fortunately, Wu Dalin was familiar with water, and could only bring five people ashore together. Shen Liangqiu wanted to dispatch a few people to Wu Dalin, but Qi Ning had already ordered to get a set of water for himself.
“Master Hou, you can just wait on the boat. We don’t know anything about the situation on the island. You must not take risks lightly.” When Shen Liangqiu saw Qi Ning, he had to prepare to land and hurriedly persuaded him.
Qi Ning said with a smile, “General Shen is worrying too much. We have a hundred people and they are all fully armed. No matter how powerful the black tiger shark is, can it still hurt me? You don’t have to worry, everything is going according to plan.”
Seeing Qi Ning’s insistence, Shen Liangqiu also knew that there were a lot of people on his side, and Qi Ning’s own skills were not weak, so he didn’t persuade him any more, and ordered to get water and come.
Qi Ning and everyone changed into the water, and then they went into the water one by one from the side of the boat. Everyone had already brought their own weapons. In addition to the big knife, half of them were also equipped with arrows.
Arrows are much easier to operate than bows and arrows, and they are also a weapon in the army. However, because the production cost is higher than that of bows and arrows, there is not a large number of assembly in the army. Among the various legions of Chu, there are only a few crossbows. Just soldiers.

One of the assessments of sailors’ water ability is that they must not make noise when they are moving in the water. Therefore, when these people under Shen Liangqiu’s hands are in the water, they are really quiet, even more than water mice. Although Wu Dalin and other guards are there The ability in the water is far from comparable to those of these sailors. Fortunately, it was already late at night, and the wind and waves at sea were a lot bigger, especially when approaching the shore. , so even if Wu Dalin and others made a sound in the water, they were completely covered by the sound of the waves.
Qi Ning’s water ability is indeed very good, the sea is dark and crowded with people, everyone knows the location of the nameless island, and naturally they don’t worry about the direction.
It took more than half an hour to get close to the shore. According to the previous plan, it was to be besieged from all sides, and the front side was to be handed over to Wu Dalin and others, so Shen Liangqiu and others separated from the left and right when approaching the shore, and went around. It will take more than half an hour for the island to go to other directions, and it has been estimated in advance that it will take more than half an hour to wait until the other three people arrive at the location, so the real action will have to wait until an hour later, that is, it will be late at night. every hour.
At that time, it was also the time when the human body was the most slack and weak. Once a sudden attack was launched, the possibility of catching a black tiger shark alive would be much higher.
Qi Ning led Wu Dalin to the coast in the dark. Although it was still in the dark, the scene on the island could be roughly seen. The island was mostly bare rocks, but there were still some trees around it. How beautiful, but also do not have a view.
The island is not big. There are some jungles and two protruding pinnacles in the center of the island. The pinnacles are not very high, but they are rugged rocks. Qi Ning knew that if the black tiger shark hid on the island, it would definitely hide in it.
According to Shen Liangqiu’s plan, the people along the way do not need to search forward, they only need to stand by on the coast. Once the black tiger shark and others really flee here, they can catch the turtle in the urn.
In addition to Qi Ning’s group of people, Shen Liangqiu also arranged for people to ambush on the ship’s side.
The two spies who had landed on the island before knew where the boat was hiding, so they walked to the cave in front of them in the dark, and hid in the rubble near the cave. .
Qi Ning and the others were waiting on the beach. There were several large rocks on the beach, and they could just use the rocks as a cover to hide behind the rocks.
The moonlight was cold, and the waves rolled towards the shore from time to time, washing the beach. Qi Ning leaned against the rocks, watching the waves rolling in under the night, and listening to the sound of the tides was quite pleasant.
Wu Dalin’s primary responsibility is to protect Qi Ning’s integrity, so he has always followed Qi Ning closely. At this time, he is sitting next to Qi Ning. He has never been a talkative person. Qi Ning does not speak, and he does not dare to say more.
Suddenly I heard Qi Ning ask: “Commander Wu, you said that after Tantai Zhilin’s death, who is the most suitable person in my great Chu to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Navy?”
Wu Dalin was transferred from the Yulin Camp to the Black Scale Camp as the deputy commander. At this time, Qi Ning directly called him Commander Wu, but it was also a kind of respect for him.
Not many people know about Tantai Zhilin’s suicide. Wu Dalin has not actually seen Tantai Zhilin’s body, but he follows Qi Ning every day, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who accompany him already know about it. , so Wu Dalin had already heard about it.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that Qi Ning would suddenly ask him such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said: “Master Hou, it’s not good to say a humble job!”
“You don’t have to be afraid to talk to me.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “You came from the army, you know the rules of the army better than I do, and you have been a general since a long time, ups and downs, so you have more insight into this kind of thing. .”
Wu Dalin hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: “Master Hou, if you are in a humble position, you should be bold and blunt. If the court has a famous general, such as General Qi, no matter where the court transfers such a famous general, the soldiers will have nothing to say. .”
General Qi naturally refers to Qi Jing, the deceased general of the Qinhuai Army, who was a famous general who moved the world.
“Then do you think there is such a general in the DPRK?”
Wu Dalin hesitated, but when he saw Qi Ning looking at him calmly, he was silent for a while, and finally said: “I think that apart from the old Marquis Jindao, there seems to be no other generals in the court with such prestige. But Tantai The old marquis is over seventy years old, and his health is not good, it is impossible to bear the burden of Donghai Master.”
“In other words, does the court really have no suitable candidates?”
“Master Hou, in my humble opinion, if a general in the army dies, the best way is not to transfer the general from outside, but to directly promote the general from the army.” Wu Dalin said softly: “The person who is promoted in the army is originally from the army. It is very clear about the big and small matters in China, otherwise, once the external adjustment is large, it will be slightly wrong, but it may cause instability in the military.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly, Wu Dalin saw Qi Ning’s demeanor, he knew that Qi Ning agreed with his words, and he became a little more confident, and then said: “This time the governor of Tantai passed away, the situation is even more special. Chu has only one navy army in the East Sea Division, and the navy generals are no better than the generals of other corps.
“What you said makes sense.” Qi Ning agreed: “What do you think of Shen Liangqiu?”
Wu Dalin hesitated for a while, but finally said: “Actually, I think that if the Donghai Navy wants to promote one person to succeed Tantai Governor, no one is more suitable than Shen Liangqiu.”
“You think so?”
Wu Dalin nodded and said: “Yes. Shen Liangqiu was originally the deputy general of the Grand Governor, with outstanding talents, and he has always been trusted by the Grand Governor. Previously, the humble and the Hou Ye entered the Donghai Naval Camp, and it can be seen that the naval officers and soldiers were very fond of Shen Liangqiu. Very awe, this General Shen must have a very high prestige in the East China Sea Division. This time, General Shen’s plan to capture the black tiger shark was very detailed, and he was obviously very familiar with the environment of the East China Sea, so I felt that, If you really want to find a suitable naval general to take over the position of the naval commander, there is really no one more suitable than this general Shen.”
Qi Ning was thoughtful, silent for a moment, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
com finally said: “You don’t have much contact with him, and even you feel this way. I am afraid that everyone in the Donghai Navy thinks this way. If the imperial court orders General Shen to be the commander of the handsome Navy, it will be very difficult for the Donghai Navy. , it should be expected.”
Wu Dalin said softly: “Master Hou, the imperial court has not ordered a new commander-in-chief so far. If General Shen can really capture the black tiger shark this time, maybe the imperial court will really consider it. The Tai family has a close relationship and can be regarded as a member of the Tantai family, if the old Marquis of the Golden Sabre is!” Speaking of this, it seems that something is wrong, and I dare not say anything later.
Qi Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, “Just say whatever you want, there’s no need to look ahead.”
“Yes.” Wu Dalin said in a low voice: “The Tantai family never wants to let the hard work of their two generations fall into the hands of others, so the old marquis of the golden knife will definitely fight for the candidate for the new governor. , If General Shen takes over the post of Grand Governor, with the relationship between General Shen and the Tantai family, the old marquis of Tantai should not object.”
Qi Ning didn’t speak, just looked up at the night sky, thoughtful.
Time passed, and I don’t know how long it took, when Qi Ning suddenly heard a faint sound of killing, his face tightened, and he turned to lie on the rock. Handle, lying on the back of the rock and looking towards the center of the island.
Qi Ning’s ear is amazing, and it was natural to be the first to discover that it was natural. At this time, Wu Dalin had actually noticed it. With a cold expression, he lowered his voice and said, “Master Hou, they have already started. It seems that the black tiger shark is indeed on the island.”
Even if a ship was found on the island before, everyone could not fully conclude that there must be someone on the island, and it was a black tiger shark, but now when they heard the sound of killing, everyone knew in their hearts that there was no doubt that there was someone on the island.
