Dismantling tents, packing luggage, cooking brown rice porridge, boiling salt water, burying the garbage generated by daily life... That afternoon, following the order of the leader Kang Lin, the entire Chiyang fleet began to be busy with unprecedented energy. After getting up, they completed all the auxiliary work before setting sail in the shortest possible time. Then, with the help of the soldiers, they lined up neatly and left the temporary camp one by one, walking back to the seaside. In the end, the two hundred people were transported by rowing boat. It took more than half an hour to board all the sailing boats. During this period, in order to speed up the relocation, Kanglin ordered dozens of soldiers from the Guards and the first infantry team to put down Weapons come forward to help! With the help of these young people, the time required for relocation will be greatly reduced...
Of course, not all the peasants and soldiers of the garrison were involved in the move, because there were at least nine fully armed elite musketeers who did not put down their matchlocks, and with their companions who had become transport captains The difference is that with serious faces, they are now struggling to climb to the commanding heights of the island with the help of ropes, preparing to watch from a high position as their temporary allies escort the ragged prisoners of war to stagger to the seaside. To be safe, the thoughtful Kang Lin even ordered his subordinates to break up all the prisoners of war, divide them into groups of five, tie their left arms and march in order!
"Sir, at this rate, we will be able to make the trip at noon today at the latest. However, before that, we must send some more manpower to assist the brothers in the medical team, because my subordinates do not think that their numbers alone can One person can transport more than a dozen lightly and seriously injured people safely and safely..." On the small slope, Yan Si, the fleet painting officer with a long knife hanging on his waist, put away his brass monocular telescope and looked at Kang beside him. Lin laughed and talked, and the latter was doing the same thing at the moment. In fact, to be honest, brass monoculars are still considered high-end goods in the Chiyang fleet. Yan Si can have one, which is entirely due to Kang Lin's appreciation, because except for him, the entire fleet only has temporary telescopes. Liu Xiong, who is acting as the flagship commander, Lin Wu, who is in charge of the "Flying Henan Ren", and Gu Wenlai, who is in charge of the "Flying Hebei Ren", each have one. The others now have one. Not even the leader Kang Lin has his own telescope, so he has to borrow it from them if something happens.
"You're right. The brothers from the First Guards are coming with me. We can't just watch the brothers from the medical team transfer the wounded one after another..." Looking at the large group of people moving forward slowly at his feet, Kang Lin He nodded in agreement with his adviser's suggestion. The next moment, under his leadership, the seven or eight strongest men in the fleet put down the items they were carrying in their hands and shoulders, and took over from the already busy and panting members of the auxiliary team. (temporarily composed of a team of craftsmen) carried the heavy stretcher.
"Chiyang Fleet will never give up on any of our brothers!"
"Chiyang Fleet will never give up on any of our brothers!"
Therefore, amid loud and neat slogans, Kang Lin and others carried the stretcher and quickly walked the mile from the camp to the seaside and arrived at the fleet's anchorage! Of course, during this period, he did not forget to retreat to the outpost and Huang Wei who was swinging. Two elite personal followers who had seen blood were dispatched by him to assist the guards in removing the severely dehydrated Huang Baiji from the high pole, and took him with him. Heading to the seaside, there, a rowing boat specially used to transport prisoners has been waiting for a long time!
"Chief, this island has a good foundation and a fixed source of fresh water. I think if possible, we should leave some people here to guard..." At the temporary anchorage of the fleet, the logistics manager Yan Xiaosong found Kang, who had just finished unloading work. Lin and Yan Si spoke out what they were thinking, and from the way he kept looking back at the temporary campsite, it could be seen that the person in the Chiyang fleet who had the highest academic qualifications (among the new immigrants, recognized by both soldiers and civilians) ), the scholar-gong was very reluctant to leave this small, cozy nest where people like him could eat and drink well and recharge their batteries.
"However, our current strength is not enough to support our two-front battle. You must know that we only have a hundred or so people in total, or a hundred or so farmers who have just thrown down their hoes. They are not elite warriors and cannot do anything at all. With such a heavy task on our shoulders, we must be responsible for their safety..." However, Yan Si, the fleet staff officer, put forward different opinions, because in his opinion, there are not many distractions in this situation. The small number of soldiers and civilians left on the island would be tantamount to suicide. The small number of soldiers and civilians left on the island would be unable to resist the attacks of pirates or government troops. Without the protection of elite soldiers, they would soon be defeated by forces ten or even a hundred times their size. The enemy was drowned alive! You must know that nowadays, whether it is pirates or officers and soldiers, the most popular method of fighting is to use the crowd to defeat the weak and attack in groups.
"What Yan Zanhua said is reasonable. I also think that the current situation is not suitable for dividing the troops. However, Mr. Yan, it is great that you have the courage to make suggestions..." Looking at the subordinates who were insisting on their own opinions, Kang Lin's speech In the end it played a decisive role in making the final decision! Then under his strict order, everyone gave up the meaningless disputes and began to engage in the intense preparations before setting sail. They should set sail as early as possible while the time was still available. This time, they will no longer look for islands to rest along the way, but will directly target the island that Qiao Si mentioned.
"The leader has your orders, the whole team pulls anchor and sets sail!"
A few days later, it was in the waters of Chengliang Bay.
"My lord, Commander Gu, the commander of the companion ship 'Flying Hebei Ren', sent someone to report that his ship was attacked by enemy ships in a previous battle and suffered serious losses. Although the entire crew worked hard to repair the damage afterwards, However, due to excessive damage, the hull began to take in water and sink! Therefore, they have raised the signal flag to ask us whether they can abandon the ship and transfer people to other ships when the situation is irreversible..." Chiyang Ship On the sea cabin of the fleet's temporary flagship "Flying Tianjin Man", the fleet leader Kang Lin was sitting in the cabin with his eyes closed and taking a nap. Behind him, the fleet commander Liu Xiong and a group of navy and army officers were looking at each other. Guanxin stood in silence. During this period, no one even raised his head to look out the window at the constant drizzle that had started falling since dawn in the morning, and the slightly salty smell blowing from the damaged hard sail on the mainmast. The smell of strong sea breeze!
Because just one day ago, the fleet led by Kang Lin unexpectedly encountered several ships of the Fierce Shark Pirates that came out to patrol the territory thirty nautical miles away. After a desperate fight, Kang Lin One ship was seriously injured, one ship was slightly damaged, 19 people were killed, and 21 people were injured. At the cost of sinking one enemy ship, seriously damaging one enemy ship, lightly damaging two enemy ships, capturing two large and small enemy ships, and killing 38 people. A brilliant result of injuring 45 people and capturing 21 people! Moreover, with the rewards from the system, he not only quickly made up for his losses in the battle, but also recruited 6 more elite warriors from other worlds and 33 new immigrants. The population once again exploded, resulting in a serious shortage of ships. In order to take everyone away, more than 70 people were packed into each ship. The combined weight almost equaled that of the five ships with an average displacement of more than 90 tons. The sailboat was weighed down and sunk!
However, these are not Conlin’s focus! Because the point is that he lost 5 elite warriors in the battle, 5 elite warriors who spent a lot of resources and merit to recruit, each of them can fight one against ten! And he, Kang Lin, had never lost a single elite soldier (sailor) in such difficult and difficult circumstances since he arrived in this alien continent, but in this unexpected encounter, he lost five of them at once! Let me ask, how can this not make him feel heartache and heartache to the extreme? For this reason, he even violated his own principles for the first time and personally ordered the execution of more than 80 pirates' lightly and seriously injured people. The blood shed by those people even The nearby waters turned red, and then, in order to avoid eating sea fish that were full of human flesh, the Chiyang fleet had to push the anchorage forward another seven or eight nautical miles overnight!
Therefore, in order to avoid further irritating Kang Lin, the leader of the fleet who was already in a bad mood, his maids, personal attendants, and officers under his command suddenly became cautious in their words and deeds. They were not willing to worry about trivial matters. , go eat the hanging and bamboo whip of his leader Kanglin Kangda! As we all know, our leader is not a good-tempered person. Once he gets angry, his subordinates will not show mercy when he beats someone up. If he cracks dozens of whips, it will really kill him! Therefore, when they saw Kang Lin closing his eyes and recuperating, they felt anxious and even the reporting voice in his mouth gradually became quieter!
"Okay, I understand this. Later you will send a few craftsmen to the Hebei Ren in a small boat to see if you can find a way to repair it and slow down its sinking. You also know that our The number of ships is seriously insufficient, and missing any big ship will bring big problems to us..." After listening to Yan Si's report, Kang Lin did not open his eyes, but gave the former an understatement. Then, in order to make sitting less uncomfortable, he changed his previous sitting posture and leaned on the back of the chair. At the same time, the knuckles of his right hand began to tap the armrest of the rattan chair. This time, Yan Si, Fan Huzi, Zheng Nansheng and others who understood his nature all understood that whenever their leader showed such an expression, he was thinking about deeper issues. So, under Yan Si's low voice, everyone The officers began to file out of Kanglin's large military meeting room.
"Okay, Sir, I will make arrangements right away!"
It was about 4 pm that day.
The bird boat "Flying Hebei Man" was finally saved after an hour and a half of emergency repairs by temporary craftsmen. Although the speed of water intrusion was still very nerve-wracking, the boat was still saved after all! However, if General Manager Gu Wen Lai Gu still wants to use this bird ship as a ship, then finding land to overhaul the ship as soon as possible is the best solution to this matter! Therefore, in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, the helmsmen among the pirate prisoners, the vice-captains of Qiao Si's merchant ships, and the sailing experts of Boss Ji of the Taiping Gang were gathered at the command platform of the Haicang ship for Kang Lin, Yan Si, and Liu Xiong and others inquired and drove in order to work out the most suitable navigation route, and try to reach the East China Sea Shaihuo Island as safely and quickly as possible.
"Sir, the name of this place is 'Chengliang Bay', which is about 80 nautical miles away from the mainland. It is the only place that Qingzhou Lingshan Guards must pass to enter the East China Sea, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists! In the ninth year of Xianxu, Emperor Shunzong of the Ming Dynasty, After Bohong of Longchuan was established, Hong Chengyan, the hereditary commander of the Qingzhou capital, assisted Qingzhou's Zuobu envoy here, and was also responsible for promoting Huangluo (Huangluo, an old city of the Xia Dynasty, established the Municipal Shipping Department in the first year of Xianxu to manage Qingzhou Overseas trade, tariffs and tribute matters) Liu Yuanyi of the City Shipping Department trained as a naval officer and trained troops to prepare for the Japanese. In the twelfth year of Emperor Xianxu's reign, the Donghai Navy was transferred north to assist the Jinzhou Guards in blocking the connection between Liaozhou Savage Jurchen and Goryeo. During the sea trade route, Japanese pirates invaded in large numbers. Mr. Zhushan ordered Huang Luo to be promoted to deputy deputy, Niu Xiuru, the magistrate of Jiaozhou, and the commander of Lingshan Guard, and prepared the Japanese camp to guard Qianshan (after Qian Yun) led the naval warships. Hundreds of troops, 800 soldiers in the guard station, and 4,000 civilians fought against the Japanese. In the autumn of the twelfth year of Xianxu, the Japanese army was prepared for a battle on Lingshan Island and killed 186 real Japanese (actually only 18) and two false Japanese. One hundred and sixty people (actually twenty-six people) achieved the "Great Victory at Lingshan". After the war, Governor Niu landed on the messy Lingshan Island and wrote several poems in agitated mood..."
