The training venue of the Shipbuilding School is off the coast of Changle County under Fuzhou, in the narrow sea area east of Ci'ao Island and west of Dongsha Island. This is an offshore area close to the coastline of the Qing Dynasty. People can clearly see everything on the coastline. , and there are islands of various sizes dotted along the coast.
The maritime ban policy of the Qing Dynasty has long been loosened in this era, and the iron rule that sails are not allowed to go into the sea has long existed in name only. In coastal areas, as long as you are an ordinary fisherman driving a small boat to fish offshore, the general government will not care about you.
As long as you don't build three-masted sailing ships or ocean-going ships privately, the court won't care about you begging for food from the sea.
Because of this, every time Deng Shichang and others go out to sea for training, they can see many fishermen's boats in this offshore area, fighting against waves and typhoons for their lives.
But today, what appeared in front of everyone was not the usual harmonious and peaceful scene of fishermen fishing. Directly south of people, in the direction of Pingtan, against the horizon, people could vaguely see a large black spot moving rapidly towards Coming from the north.
The French instructors and these young future captains were able to confirm at that time that it was a huge fleet, a large fleet that was rare along the coast of the Qing Dynasty.
French instructor Rigel was the first to react, "Manfan! Listen to my order, Manfan is ready to evade... Confirm the identity of the incoming ship! God, that must be a battleship, it must be a battleship!"
Countless students subconsciously began to run to their posts, sail, unmoor, and fix deck debris. The helmsman began to control the sailboat toward the estuary of the Min River.
Deng Shichang and Liu Buchan were shouting slogans as they pulled the sail cable, "One, two, pull! One, two, pull! Damn it, that must be a Russian warship. At this juncture, it cannot be a warship from another country, Shi Chang Brother, why are you in a daze? Wake up!"
Liu Buchan's words woke up Deng Shichang, and the young student's eyes were on fire. "Yes, it must be the Russian main fleet... The overwhelming number of fleets on the opposite side is definitely more than twenty ships. Generally, merchant ships will never form such a large formation and sail together. "
"British? That's even more impossible. This is the coastal waters of the Qing Dynasty. If the real fleet wants to sail smoothly and quickly, it should go through the middle of the Taiwan Strait. No one has enough food to come here to play around the island!"
"So there is only one answer. This is the Russian Expeditionary Force, and it is here to demonstrate against our Qing Dynasty!"
Deng Shichang's analysis was not wrong at all. People watched helplessly as the warships speeding towards Pingtan in the south got bigger and bigger. When the Russian double-headed eagle flag appeared in the lookout's telescope, horrified roars resounded across the sea.
"It's the Russian flag! It's really that damn fleet, the executioner who killed the Chinese in Bailayi!"
"I'm going to fuck you..." A group of friends were furious and their eyes were split open. Their fists hit the mast and railings, and blood flowed down their knuckles.
Too arrogant, these Rakshasa ghosts are too arrogant. Even if they bully the Qing Dynasty for not having a navy, they still have to have it as a basic diplomatic etiquette! Is the British navy strong? However, Hong Kong's warships went to Shanghai to patrol, and they did not stick to the Qing coastline, but just passed through one county after another.
Even British warships are sailing on the main channel in the middle of the strait in an orderly manner!
What is this if not a demonstration? These Rakshasa ghosts knocked over countless fishermen's boats and frightened the sea into a swarm of wolves and rats. They had only one purpose, to pass the terrifying message to the entire Qing Dynasty. They were announcing to the entire China that our Russian navy is here, and you, China, can't do it. .
Deng Shichang's nails were dug into the wood, and blood seeped out from the gaps between his nails. He didn't know the pain at all. "Give me a battleship. I beg you to give me a battleship. As long as I can rush to fight, I would rather I give you my life!"
"Shame! Shame..."
Riyige felt the atmosphere of sadness and indignation on the ship. The Frenchman didn't have any good impressions of Russia. France and Russia had a century-old hatred. Today he also spat fiercely into the sea and used the word "France" from who knows where. A few slang curse words.
But what's the use of people's anger? A country is weak when it is weak. A small triangular sailboat used for training only has a six-pound small-caliber training smoothbore gun. Does such a small ant still want to fight against the huge Tsarist Russian expeditionary force?
The double-headed eagle flag was hunting in the sea breeze. The commander of the expeditionary force, Stefanski, was standing on the bridge of the ship in high spirits, blowing the sea breeze. His eyes were looking at the endless coastline of the Qing Dynasty, and he was playing with it in his hands. A golden coin.
This is a gold coin that was found in the vault of Bai Lai Lotte Bank. No one thought that a gold coin from the ancient Roman period could be found in the far east of Nanyang. This is a good treasure worth collecting.
When Stefanski saw Caesar's profile picture smiling at him among the gold coins, he had an intuition that his good luck had finally come.
This is certainly good luck. Who can find ancient Roman gold coins from more than two thousand years ago in the East? What is this if not luck? Not to mention Bai Layi's unexpected gain, he would feel extremely happy every time he saw the gold in the wooden box.
"The task given to me by His Majesty is to defeat the Far East Volunteer Army and Xiao Letian. Who would have thought that while completing the main task, I would have so many unexpected gains. This is really a magical land, my lucky place!"
Stefansky fantasized about being welcomed by all the people in Moscow after overfulfilling the task. His Majesty the Tsar personally awarded him a medal. How could he be made a marquis based on his own merit? He was so excited, so excited. Already...
Just when he was lustful, Molière, the grim-faced man, quietly walked up to him, looked at the continuous coastline of China and sighed faintly, "What a rich land this is, why was it given to those weak Chinese people?" ?”
"Oh... are you a ghost? Why don't you make any noise when you walk?" Stefanski said with a frown.
"Is there no sound? Haha, I'm afraid you are absent-minded..." Molière handed the commander a cigarette and sneered, "Stop playing with that gold coin. This little gold is not worth getting excited about. Wait until we blow up Xiao Letian's Hidden Gold Island, then you can see mountains of gold!”
Stefanski took a deep drag on the cigarette. He glanced at Molière and said calmly, "What are your plans after this war? If you can't survive in France, come to Russia. The great Tsar is A rare wise king, he will reward your merits..."
"Don't the Chinese have an old saying? It's called a cunning rabbit with three burrows! You have to leave yourself a few more escape routes..."
