"Xingzhi, what do you think?" After a few minutes of the case, Kang Lin rubbed his chin and seriously considered the feasibility of the suggestions put forward by Yan Xiaosong and Yan Si, and he already had a plan in mind. Of course, before that, he habitually asked Chang Jiansheng, the former Mr. Biting and now the Counselor for Military Affairs. Although this guy has a bad tongue and is not popular among the officers and officials, he is one of the few scholars under Kang Lin's command, and he can occasionally put forward a few points during military and civilian discussions. Good advice, so asking him might give him a different perspective.
"Master Baihu, the student also agrees with Brother Wende and Master Yan. It is better not to cause trouble now. After all, our goal is to find land and settle down as soon as possible..." It's rare that I always like to be with people. Chang Jiansheng, who played the devil's advocate, did not choose to be independent this time and put forward other opinions. Instead, he chose a proposal that was in line with the two strict rules.
"Okay, since the three of you have agreed to adopt Deputy Hu Cai's proposal, let's do it! Now I announce that the entire fleet will immediately enter the second level alert state, and all weapons, whether shipborne artillery, or muskets and crossbows, will be It must not leave people's sight until it is safe to pass through this sea area! Yan Zanhua, the command and adjustment of the fleet will be left to you. All personnel, ships, including me, will obey your orders, and everyone will work together. Let's break into this dragon's pond and tiger's den together. As long as we can leave here safely this time, our leader will not hesitate to reward him generously! As for Mr. Yan and Mr. Chang, they will stay on the flagship and take care of the logistics of the fleet for me, Mr. Kang. Well! After all, you are both scholars. Asking you to go out to fight with others would be overkill and insulting! Well, time is urgent. Do you all know your tasks? If there is no doubt, today's meeting will be Let's drive here, and then everyone is asked to take action..." After pondering again and again, Kang Lin finally made up his mind after listening to the three people's suggestions! Immediately, under his order, three people with different positions hurriedly left the command module and went to perform their respective tasks. At the same time, the signal flag was also raised on the acting flagship "Flying Tianjin". The marching drum was beaten, and the next moment, five wooden sailing ships immediately raised their sails and headed in the direction designated by Deputy Hu Cai.
The next day, we visited Pig Kidney Island in the waters of Chengliang Bay.
After a day and night of non-stop sailing, the Chiyang fleet's five small wooden sailboats with a displacement of only tens of tons narrowly avoided being chased and intercepted by large groups of merchants and small groups of pirates several times, and passed smoothly. Although small-scale battles broke out during this period, which resulted in the loss of more than a dozen sailors under Kang Lin, the entire The fleet still stumbled out of the most dangerous section of the sea and arrived at the relatively safe and calm waters of Pig Kidney Island. Therefore, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Kang Lin, the leader of the fleet who had been busy all day and almost lost his mind, handed over the command to Gu Wenlai, the temporary commander of the fleet, and sat in his command cabin and began to think about himself. Let’s look at the fleet’s gains and losses this day and night.
200 units of various conventional supplies. (Thanks to the system, Kang Lin was given two sub-tasks similar to the aforementioned elimination of pirate patrol ships during this day and night, giving Kang Lin another 200 units of various resources. , several weapons, several upgrade tokens, several buildings, troop blueprints, and recruitment opportunities that Kanglin urgently needs to grow stronger. However, the shrewd Kanglin only used one casual recruitment to replenish the troops lost in the battle, and other recruitments The opportunity was carefully hidden by him, and he would recruit again after landing in the future), with a merit value of 400 points, dozens of long guns and short cannons, 2 artillery pieces, 2 soldier upgrade orders, 3 recruitment opportunities, and a building manufacturing blueprint. heap……
And this is all the harvest of the Chiyang fleet that Kang Lin belongs to in one day and one night. Although it is not rich, it is enough to make people happy. However, this loss is also a headache. The companion ship "Hebei Ren" did not suffer after all. By the end of the battle, Xue Caiying's large group of medium-sized sand ships and a Cangshan ship were eyeing the injured ship at the same time. In the end, the "Hebei Ren" sank with another enemy ship at the cost of sinking one enemy ship. Kang Lin, who was heartbroken and crazy, almost drowned all the prisoners he fished out, and the loss of personnel and materials made this guy even more speechless. Twenty new immigrants who had not yet covered themselves with heat died in this battle. The dead and wounded, and those who could breathe were all taken in by Lei Huzi. As for the material losses, let alone the gunpowder, lead bullets, and artillery shells, they were almost all used up in the first battle. For the second time, they encountered a small group of pirates. , Yan Si, and Fan Huzi relied on volleys of muskets and random rockets to defeat the enemy. Among them, the performance of the Mongolian Saliwen and the Jurchen Yang Gushan was particularly eye-catching, because they alone shot and killed More than twenty pirates almost forced this group of pirates who wanted to make some small gains to surrender! Therefore, even though Kang Lin was heartbroken, he couldn't help but feel deeply relieved. After all, it was the warriors he had spent a lot of money and a lot of merit points to recruit, and they were indeed strong enough! Just when he thought about it, he was a little unhappy. One of the five sailboats under his command had now sunk. Nearly two hundred living people and a hundred captive allies were all crowded on the remaining four ships. Not only has the safety factor been greatly reduced, but the living conditions have also deteriorated greatly. Only one person in the fleet has an exclusive cabin, and the others, including Liu Laoliu, who is seriously injured in bed, have to squeeze in with several other lightly and seriously injured people. As for the prisoners of war, the living conditions were even worse. There were often more than thirty men crammed into the cabin of less than ten square meters. They could not even turn over when sleeping in the middle of the night, and the smell of feces and urine filled their noses. It can drive away even the most neurotic mice and Xiaoqiang...
No, this is absolutely not possible. For the safety of the fleet and to prevent the occurrence of epidemics, I will never allow the situation to develop like this. I have to quickly get two more ships to divert people out, otherwise if I encounter flag-planting robberies again Yes, that would be great fun...
As soon as he thought about this, Kang Lin immediately shouted to the door, "Here comes". The next moment, his personal captain Yang Qi came in holding a waist knife. To be honest, since using a precious soldier upgrade order in Kang Lin's hand, this guy looks more like a real soldier captain. At least, he is no longer as cowardly and wretched as before. Flattery, now he is calm, steady and efficient, and has become one of Kang Lin's most useful generals. Especially, after Liu Laoliu was seriously injured, Lin Wuyan Sifan Hu, Liu Xiong and others were scattered to various places. In the situation on the ship, this guy's status suddenly became important. Therefore, the stingy Kang Lin gave him a soldier upgrade order, transforming him into a regular militiaman with level 2 cold weapon proficiency skills.
"Master Chief, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Call Yan Zanhua, Captain Fan, and Commander Zheng to come here and tell me that I have something to discuss with them..."
"Yes, sir."
"I don't know if the remaining rockets are enough to fight again..." Looking at Yang Qi's figure exiting the cabin, Kang Lin vigorously rubbed his temples that ached from thinking for a long time, and began to complain about omnipresence and omnipresence. The incompetent imperial auxiliary system, and my own poor endurance! Because no one would have thought that after a few moderate battles, his group would not be troubled by other problems, but they would fall hard on small lead bullets and cannonballs! You know, the powerful system previously claimed to be able to exchange for anything, but now this bastard actually told himself that lead bullets and cannonballs cannot be exchanged for the time being! And how could Kang Lin, who was hurriedly asking for ammunition everywhere with a pile of money in his hands, not get angry and then yelled that the system was unreliable? It should be noted that originally, in this guy's view, as long as he had enough silver, the system, which was obsessed with money, would unscrupulously give him the green light all the way, and the ammunition would not matter, but now it seems that the problem does not seem to be the same. It's not as easy to solve as I thought...
But it must be solved if it is not easy to solve. Isn't there a saying that says, "There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, but life still has to go on." Without the help of the imperial system, Conlin decided to look at this problem in a different way. : There is no ammunition, but he still has a lot of subordinates, as well as a lot of unreliable rockets, fire bricks, iron caltrops, etc. He still doesn’t believe that he, a living person, can choke to death with urine. !
Therefore, he sent his personal followers to call Yan Sifan, Hu Zheng Nansheng and other officers who were skilled in firearms warfare under his command, to see if they could gather everyone's strength to discuss a substitute for firearms. After all, Until the ammunition is replenished, this day has to go on!
Note: After triggering the task "Research and Development Militia System", the system stipulates that the food reward will be reduced to one-half of other rewards. The reason is that the measurement unit of food is stone, which is 120 city jins, which is different from the measurement unit of other materials. (Silver is tael, wood is square). Therefore, the reward of grain mentioned above is not realistic and is a BUG. The system will resolutely correct it.
Note 2:: Lead bullets and artillery shells cannot be exchanged. Metals such as iron, lead, and copper are special resources. Without finding mineral deposits, Kang Lin and others can only obtain them through combat seizures and system rewards. This is not possible for the time being. Exchange directly.
Note 3: The soldier upgrade order can upgrade an ordinary farmer to a militiaman with level 2 cold weapon proficiency or level 2 hot-weapon proficiency skills. He can use cold weapons such as knives and guns or hot weapons such as matchlocks and flintlocks without any hindrance. -The weapons are only accurate, powerful, and morale inferior to those of the regular army.
