Tamna, Juseong, Yongduam Shipbuilding Works.
Three huge Chinese-style hard sails were hung on the three masts. Twelve gleaming cannons on the sides and on the stern glowed with a faint green metallic light in the winter sun. The sharp bow continued to split the waves. With the concerted efforts of dozens of sailors, the entire old lock ship "Sagyirisan" is sailing quickly on the vast sea of the Jeju Strait!
At this moment, Kang Lin, the guard of Kangda, was standing on the stern of the ship using a brass telescope to observe the situation in the distant sea. Different from the Sloop sloop "Farmer Merchant" and the old lock ship "Bawangshan", Kang The old lock ship that someone drew this time in the experience point lottery is not an experience card warship like the latter. It has no time limit for use, and it will not turn into white light and disappear when the maintenance time is over like the latter! Therefore, the top management of Chiyang attached great importance to it. Not only did they immediately mobilize the required artillery equipment, they also deployed capable sailors on board the ship for a trial voyage after Kang Lin found the card! This time they will form a two-ship formation with another old lock ship "Bawangshan" and conduct temporary military exercises in their own bathtub, the Jeju Strait, in the name of eliminating the increasingly raging Japanese pirate group! In order to deter the forces of Goryeo officials and gentry who were ready to move, Yan Sheng, who joined the army in Chiyang, not only invited the island's enlightened landowners and big businessmen to watch the battle on the ship, but also specially invited Jin Qingyuan, the new observation envoy of Jeju, to board the ship through his boss, Jeolla Province Navy Controller Kang Lin. Let’s celebrate together!
That's right, at the same time Kang Lin returned to Tamnadaeo Island, Jeju observation envoy Kim Kyung Won, who was riding a Goryeo Navy wooden house ship, also quietly went to the island with thirty followers and stayed in Kang Lin's special room. The inn arranged for him! This time, in addition to going to the island to take up his new post, the observer also had to declare to the former Jeju pastor Li Zhenqing the decree of Injo: In view of the latter's incompetence and ignorance, he mistakenly sent the Jeolla Doyou who went to the island to expel the Japanese pirates. Suyeong Gem Control Commander Kang thought he was a Japanese pirate, so King Injo dismissed him from the post of Jeju Pastoral Envoy in anger, and replaced him with Kim Kyung-won as Jeju Observer, working with Kang Lin to manage Jeju's military and civilian affairs! Therefore, in order to scare his new colleague from going against him like the previous fool, Kang Lin did not hesitate to come to the post house in person and invite him to board his new ship "Shaxi Lishan" old lock ship. Go have fun in the Jeju Strait!
"Luo Da, Luo Er, send the order down, serve refreshments to our distinguished guests, and ask them to enter the cabin to take shelter from the wind! Especially the observation envoy, you two will personally serve him. You must try your best to meet his requirements. There is only one thing, not mine. You understand the order not to wander around on the ship..."
In the captain's room on the poop, Governor Kang Lin and Kang Da, who occupied the magpie's nest, were sitting behind a low table drinking tea. Next to him were Yan Si, who had joined the army with a serious look on his face, and Mr. Qian Fan Jing! An hour after leaving the pier, standing on the deck accompanied by the landlord, the vampire businessman, and the new Jeju observer who had eaten the sea breeze, the Kangda Temperance Commander finally couldn't stand it anymore. Unlike the former who rarely went to sea, , this man who has been living at sea all year round actually doesn’t like to stay on the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky that literati and poets often talk about. If possible, the temperance of this Jeolla-do Usu camp makes you prefer to stay on the flat land all your life. Never go to sea on solid land! Therefore, in order not to make a fool of himself in front of outsiders, he had to order his soldiers to send the invited guests to the cabin to have tea, while he himself, Yan Si and Fan Huzi entered the cabin, which was relatively more crowded. Discuss how to conduct the next military exercise for the stable captain's cabin on the stern!
It's obviously not enough to just take a bunch of fat-minded wealthy businessmen from Goryeo for a stroll on the sea. If you want to scare them, and even the forces behind them, you must let them see something interesting! For example, in front of them, firing cannons to sink a Japanese merchant ship or a Ming pirate ship can make them truly appreciate the power of Chiyang, and make them never dare to have enemies with them from now on. idea! However, the key problem is that Chiyang is the largest pirate group on this sea! In front of me, no matter the ferocious shark pirates, indigenous pirates, or Japanese pirates, they all look a little unsatisfactory! The co-author can't attack the wooden warships of the Goryeo navy. He just accepted the recruitment of the Goryeo court. Now he changes his face and attacks the navy warships of Jeolla Province before the ink is dry. Doesn't he become a treacherous and shameless villain? …
Fortunately, the incredible luck did not give Kang Linkang a headache for long! The sacrificial chicken in the game of killing chickens to scare monkeys, a lucky ship with sails and oars, unexpectedly appeared in the brass
In the field of vision of the telescope, and unlike other normal merchant ships, this large ship with several hard sails of 400 materials, not only did not flee in panic after seeing the sudden appearance of its own fleet in the distance, but instead filled up the sails. , shook the big oar, and accelerated towards this side!
"One, two, three, four blessing ships! No wonder these guys didn't retreat but advanced after seeing us. It turns out they have something to rely on! However, they want to use four weakly armed blessing ships to fight against our new warships. I don’t know whether to laugh at them for not overestimating their capabilities or to admire their courage! Anyway, since their minds are a little unclear, let’s put in the effort to sink them all! Right and left, notify the mainmast to raise the waving flag, Let the side ships follow us in battle, and also order all the sailors and soldiers on the ship to load their cannons and prepare to bombard the enemy ships!"
Watching the four lucky ships adjust their sails, they rushed towards me! Kang Lin immediately ordered the two-ship formation to turn and accelerate, and bravely faced the incoming enemy! Next, in order to better deter the fat-headed old Goryeo haters on the ship, Controller Kang Lin and Kang Da asked people to notify the latter to come out to watch the battle, while handing over the battle command to Lin Ashui, Gu Wenlai and himself. Then he took his attachés and tooth soldiers to the top of the poop to accompany Jeju Observer Jin Qingyuan to make tea and talk about heroes! He didn't think that his two old lock ships with sharp artillery would be unable to defeat the enemy's four pirate ships with poor firepower and slow movement! You know, the largest caliber artillery on the old lock ship is the 12-pound forward-loading smoothbore cannon, and the pirate ship, which can hold up to the sky, has several large bowl-mouth blunderbuss. It would be nice to decorate the facade with small pig iron cannons. Today he will He must use absolute firepower to crush those former colleagues, and use fruitful results to intimidate those old moneymen under his rule, in order to achieve his ultimate goal of holding military exercises!
"The target is three miles away from us!"
"The target is two miles away from us!"
"The target is one mile away from us!"
"The target is 200 steps away from us. They opened fire. Everyone should take cover. No one is allowed to fight back. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
As the watchman in the main mast basket reported the count loudly, the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened to 200 steps! At this distance, the twelve-and-a-half-pound snake gun equipped by Chiyang was able to effectively attack the enemy ship. However, before their commander Kang Lin could issue a combat order, the pirate Fuzhou ship on the opposite side actually opened fire first! Under the control of the other side's sailors, the two large bowl-mouth guns were aimed at their own ship without even taking aim, and then sprayed out a large amount of broken porcelain nails! Next, before he could see the result of his victory, with the dull sound of conch shells constantly ringing, the four sailing pirate ships advanced dozens of steps forward! At this time, the distance between the two sides was shortened to a hundred steps for the first time. Some sharp-eyed sailors and artillerymen could even see every move on the other side's ship with the naked eye! Therefore, in order to counter the enemy's shameless behavior, the artillerymen on the old lock ship, under the commander's loud orders, stretched out their red-hot iron drills and lit the fire door of the twelve and a half pound snake gun!
"Bang bang bang..."
So soon, as the thunderous sound of cannons continued to sound, the four twelve-and-a-half-pound snake guns on the side of the old lock ship spit out orange flames, thick smoke, and four ten-pound bullets. Spherical cannonball! Among them, except for two shells that missed due to angle problems, the remaining two shells all hit the enemy's Fuchuan! The next moment, the ten-pound spherical cannonball, driven by high-quality black powder, exerted a jaw-dropping destructive effect! Ship planks, masts, human bodies, cannons, ropes, barrels, everything, they all fell apart under the impact of the former! During this period, some brave pirate sailors even tried to use wooden sticks, machetes and other things to block those twelve-pound cannonballs that were dangling and seemed to pose no threat! However, soon, two cannonballs carrying the power of travertine cracked stone taught them a painful lesson, so that they would never dare to do such stupid things again: with a burst of heart-rending screams, Several warriors who dared to slay the dragon had their arms broken by the rampaging cannonballs, and began to lie on the deck of the fortune ship, rolling and howling! Just kidding, the twelve-and-a-half-pound snake gun fired at a distance of a hundred paces may seem slow and leisurely, but the kinetic energy it carries is not as harmless to humans and animals as people imagine. Pirates and sailors dare to use wooden sticks and broadswords to resist their attacks. Moving forward, Kang Lin and others don't know whether to admire their bravery or laugh at their ignorance! .
"Hurry up and load the artillery. The large Folan machine on the poop adjusts its angle and fires a solid cannon at the deck of the enemy ship.
bombs, harassing and slowing down the enemy's gunner's reloading speed, and the reserve artillerymen carried the Tiger Crouching Cannon over to prevent the enemy's jumping troops from engaging in hand-to-hand combat with us! Everyone, be faster and don't let the enemy have any chance to react! "
He had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of the big shot or the tragic situation of a small group of idiots on the other side's ship. The second gunnery officer who was standing on the deck directing the firearms troops to fight immediately raised his voice like a broken gong and directed the sailors under his command to hold up their issued uniforms. The flintlock short rifles were lined up behind the bulwarks. At this moment, our own big killer, the Hongyi Cannon and Half Snake Gun, had already fired one round, and it would take quite a while to fire again! Therefore, fusiliers and small artillery are needed to continue to maintain firepower output!
