East China Sea, Shamen, Tuoji Island.
On the sixth day after the encounter at Salmon, the time has come to the fifth day of the tenth lunar month in the ninth year of Ming Sizong Jingyan's ninth year. The entire Chiyang fleet slowly gave up its defense of Salmon Island under the strict order of the chief manager Liu Laoliu. In spite of the harassment from the Qianhu Station and even the coastal islands under Donghaiwei, Hu Dajin from the Qianhu has already fled to Donghaiweicheng, so for the time being, no one will care about why a small seventh-grade Baihu always doesn't I went to the Qianhu Station to pay homage to the Shangguan. In addition, after Yang Jiyuan lost the news of his Shangguan’s ship on another small sailing ship, he thought that the main fleet of Japanese pirates had ambushed his Shangguan’s ship, and he was devastated. I didn't care about looking for the latter, so I gave up the pursuit of the Chiyang Six-foot Centipede Boat, and then fled back to Denglai Water City with my tail between my legs! In their report to Admiral Denglai Navy, they claimed that their two ships were attacked by Japanese pirate warships that were twenty times their size, and that the sentry commander displayed a fearless fighting spirit in order to cover the enemy ships with poor firepower. , one person actually defeated twenty Japanese pirate warships in one ship, so they were the only ones who came back! In short, it is not because the brothers are not working hard, but because the enemy is too fierce. These shameless people clearly have twenty warships, but they actually use the despicable method of sneak attack to deal with our unprepared side. It is really So shameless!
Thank God, thank earth, thank the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy Navy for their arrogance and cowardice. Thanks to their release, not only did the escaped Chiyang Pass ship safely return to the temporary dock and trestle area in the south of Tuoji Island, but also Even the six-foot centipede boat led by Wu Fang personally returned to the navy camp on Tuoji Island after making a big circle! Now, as long as the shuttle boat with 21 guns completes the transformation as soon as possible, the strength of the Chiyang fleet will be even greater! Next, with the joining of this cutting-edge warship, many original merchant ships will be able to return to their old profession, without having to carry guns and pretend to be warships! In this way, Chiyang's originally tight transportation capacity can be greatly alleviated, and a large number of people and materials can be continuously transported from Ganghwa Island in Goryeo to support the construction...
In the southeastern waters of Tuoji Island, on the Chiyang patrol bird boat, the boat manager You Dewei was reminiscing about the Tuoji naval battle a few days ago. He felt like he was wandering around in front of the gate of hell. He couldn't help but feel scared. What if this was Yang Jiyuan? No matter how hard your subordinates are, no matter how unbearable your colleagues are, then it will be another group of people who are sitting here enjoying the sea breeze and drinking a small drink today! Looking at the centipede boats that were escaping in embarrassment and shutting down the ship, this guy felt that he was lucky enough. Although the brothers on the original ship suffered a lot when they had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy ship, at least he was still safe and sound. Sitting here, there are no arms or legs missing!
As for the demotion and retention, in this guy's opinion, it was just a formality. Manager Liu asked him to take charge of the rescue fleet, but he sent more than forty strong young men into the sea. If he didn't punish himself, how could he still do it? To commend yourself, you must be able to convince others! Next, as long as he still has a place in the heart of the former, a few setbacks will not matter. Maybe after he has made some more military exploits, Liu Ye will move himself back to the front line. Well, it would be good to be the steward of the sailing ship. When he thought that he could have a warship with twenty-one cannons, this guy almost laughed out loud!
There is no other reason. It is really that these old-fashioned ships in front of Chiyang are not good materials for warships. Not only are the ship boards thin, they cannot carry too many artillery. Otherwise, if a volley of artillery is fired down, the enemy will not know whether they are dead or not. He flipped the ship's planks first and the ship rolled over! This guy must not know that in the original history, the old-fashioned Fu boats couldn't even install tribute cannons that fired five-pound shells. When they wanted to launch them, they had to find a raft to put them on. Otherwise, a good boat would be destroyed. Deck torn! It doesn't look like a modified shuttle boat. Not only is it equipped with digital cannons of large and small calibers, but it can also fire volleys from time to time. It is much more powerful than the Fuchuan of similar tonnage. In addition, this thing looks like a European gun. The Lun ship also has a laid keel, so its structural strength greatly exceeds the former! However, the most important thing is that it is made entirely of teak. Teak is rich in iron and oil, so the boards made of it are not easily deformed, are insect-proof, ant-proof, acid-alkali-proof, moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant, and have a natural The mellow aroma is much stronger than the pine and fir used in old-fashioned Fuchuan! That's why this guy was so greedy and jealous of the captured boat!
However, he also knew that once this ship was commissioned, it would play a huge role! First of all, with it in charge, the bird ships, Cangshan, and sand ships used by Chiyang Zhong can return to their original identities, dismantle most of the small-caliber artillery, and become full-time merchant ships and transport ships; secondly, with its participation, Chiyang can Yang's firepower delivery capability will be greatly enhanced. It just so happens that the experience time of the firepower ship that shined in the Jianghua naval battle - the Sloop Sloop has ended. The "Farmer Merchant", which is regarded as a treasure by everyone in Chiyang It turned into golden light a few days ago and disappeared from this world! Therefore, Chiyang now urgently needs a warship that can carry and fight as the force of the entire fleet, and the emergence of this twenty-one-gun gunship is the perfect solution to this problem! Therefore, the competition for the latter's candidate for the ship's master is bound to be fierce and bloody, whether it is the veteran chief's confidants Gu Wenlai, Lin Wu, Wu Fang, or the new battlefield Qin Lin, Luo Meng, Zhao Dayou, or even Lin Ashui. They all want to become the new owner of this warship! Although this ship will probably not serve in the mainland in the future, and may be sent to the colony by Chiyang's senior officials to serve as a house-killing artifact, it still cannot extinguish everyone's enthusiasm. Man, who can resist a big ship and a huge cannon? Charm……
Thinking of this, the original relaxed expression on Manager You Da's face suddenly disappeared without a trace! Obviously, he also knew that if he did not have enough military exploits to convince the public, it would be difficult for him to win the position of chief steward of the fleet with only the appreciation of the chief steward Liu Laoliu! After all, there are so many ship managers in Chiyang, big and small, and he doesn’t stand out in terms of qualifications or military merit. When will it be his turn? It seems that it is better to be your own bird ship manager safely! At least, as a bird ship manager, you don’t have to compete with others. When you have something to do, you can be busy. When you have nothing to do, you can bask in the sun and have a glass of wine to get a little tipsy. Then you can throw a hook on the deck and have a say-so. How pleasant and comfortable it is to just go fishing...
"Manager, about eight miles southeast of us, we found a strange-looking large ship speeding towards us. Do you want to send a signal to the island?"
However, just when You Dewei was thinking wildly, the lookouts on the mast of the bird ship discovered a new situation! In the blurry field of view of the monocular, a long and narrow strange ship with several masts and tall hard sails appeared vaguely between the sea and the sky! It is strange because its hull is not as sharp as the bottom of the Fuzhou boat. On the contrary, it has a "U" shape like the plywood boats of the European barbarians! Therefore, in the high and low waves, this strange ship drove extremely smoothly and fast. With only the power of the sail, it ran at a speed that ordinary Chinese sailboats could not match! And when everyone could see its true appearance clearly with the naked eye, this guy was only a mere two or three kilometers away from their bird ship!
"Ring the bell, ring the bell quickly, what are you doing? Such a big ship is rushing towards us, and you are just watching stupidly. Do you want to die? Why don't you adjust the sails quickly and sail towards the main island? The strategy has changed. You are a bunch of fools who were blown away by the sea breeze. I am almost pissed to death by you..."
Unlike the other sailors who were slow to respond and still looked at the Western scene! After You Dewei took the brass single-tube telescope handed over by his subordinates and saw the true appearance of the incoming ship, he immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on! This is not a strange looking ship, this is clearly a demon wielding a death scythe! How can a normal ship adjust its sails and approach quickly when seeing a lone ship? Fortunately, these guys have been hanging around at sea for so long! However, just when he roared towards the mainmast and wanted to ring the bell to warn the whole ship to prepare for war, the ship slowly slowed down its speed and raised a purple-yang cloud and fog flag. It turned out to be him. people!
"Which bastard is scaring your grandpa? If he does it in my hands in the future, I will have to crush his balls..." After realizing that he had made a false alarm, General Manager Youdewei relaxed a little. At the same time, a nameless evil fire could not be controlled but surged into his heart! What kind of bastard is looking for his own happiness? Grandma, just come back from Korea. You have to do something like this when you get to your own door, which makes you embarrassed in public. Damn, what will happen to you in the future? With men? When he thinks of the way his guys look at him, he wants to find a hole to crawl in. For no other reason than that, it's really embarrassing...
"Manager, that ship seems to be the leader's ship. Look, there is another flag hoisted on it. It looks like the flag of our leader..." However, just here, he gritted his teeth and prepared to find it later. When I had a chance to check in with the commander of the incoming ship, a sailor pointed in the direction of the incoming ship and shouted to him nervously. Next, everyone on the bird ship soon saw a scene that shocked them beyond belief. The plagued beasts actually raised a large banner on the mainmast, the banner of Kanglin Kangyuanjing, the leader of the fleet! It turns out that the person who rode the strange ship to cut through the waves and set foot on the sea was actually their leader, Kang Lin, the leader of the East China Sea Guard Guerrilla Hundreds and the Chiyang Fleet!
