Chapter 219: Show strength
"Lower the sail a little!" Yan Changwu ordered. He handed over the command to Shi Daxuan, who, with the help of Storm and Mr. David, carried out his battleship induction training.
Examination training is indeed effective and can be qualitatively and quantitatively. Only when a certificate is obtained can you be employed. There are many examination subjects to complete the obtaining of a certificate. When these examination subjects are completed, a person becomes an officer who meets the requirements of the post.
Yan Changwu returned to his cabin, doing some writing work, which is inevitable as a captain, unless he does not become the captain.
Including the records of the reserve materials, as well as the accounts for the payment of allowances to the sea and the rewards and punishments for the officers and soldiers, it is the jurisdiction of the chief: people and property!
He signed each report, and then called the documents to be sorted into categories, and then Yan Changwu browsed the "Logbook".
It is extremely important information on the ship. It records the experience of the warship. Yan Changwu browses page by page.
" On Friday, April 12, 1630, the wind was southeast and south, and the course was northwest. The warship entered the sixteenth day of cruise, and there was no battle!
The weather in the morning was good, the wind direction was unstable at noon, and the sails were lowered. In the early afternoon, the sun was fierce, and there was a sudden heavy rain. The sails and reefing were carried out alternately. The bombardment training was carried out in heavy rain.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the four people rolled up the square mainsail, and at 10 o'clock they saw a lucky boat coming from the coast of Guangdong and heading for Beigang.
After a temporary inspection, this is a merchant ship sending rosin and sandalwood to Beigang, no doubt. "
There is also: "The group concentrates, reads the "Navy Punishment Regulations", and conducts criticism and self-criticism (political study)... On the double-post watchpoint on the upper mast and the second bow girder, Sergeant Tang Biao and Corporal Xu Xiaoming, two Man measured the distance of a fishing boat in the southwest and found that they were 11 nautical miles and 13 nautical miles. The speed of the battleship was six knots, and the speed of all battleships was reduced to zero.
The cabin was cleaned that day, and then the names were called and rewards and punishments were given to the officers and soldiers. The captain remarked that a soldier Wei Xiaosan was flogged for twelve for disrespect to the officers and was executed on the spot. The artillery commander Bai Menghuan was beaten for 10 consecutive days for being excellent. Get a bonus of 50% of the allowance for going to sea this time. "
The daily content recorded in the "Logbook" is so plain and unremarkable. It is more lively and vivid only in emergencies. For example, "...it is foggy today, and warships are stationed in Penghu Bay, performing artillery simulation missions and attacks. During the firearm training, at noon, many supply ships came to replenish them. There were fresh fish on the deck. The ships were distributed. They had a meal of fresh fish soup and fried fish that day."
……
"This is military life!" Yan Changwu closed the logbook. He sat in the big armchair and saw that the bright sea blue across the sky outside the porthole, and a group of seagulls chasing the warship on the track that cut through the water outside the porthole. , They will have their benefits if they look at warships, warships are rich in food, people are bored, and will feed them.
Good time, with the swaying of the waves, Yan Changwu fell asleep in the armchair until the attendant Shuishen woke him up and said: "Warlord, we are close to the Zhongzuo Station (Xiamen)!
……
He stretched his waist, tidied his clothes, and strode out of the cabin.
The deck is very lively. A bunch of officers are standing on the stern compartment (the highest position there), and the other officers and soldiers are neatly dressed. Some people have added one or two layers of deerskin armor to themselves because the predetermined military order has been issued. , Enter the first-level combat readiness state, you can fight the enemy at any time!
"How is the situation?" Yan Changwu asked.
"Nothing happened!" Shi Daxuan shook his head, a bit regretful in his words.
Yan Changwu put his eyes into the telescope to observe. The Fujian Navy in the center left did not have any warships to intercept, not even a patrol ship. The Ludao Fortress just ahead was also flying in calm water, the artillery was silent, and the officers and soldiers were silent.
"If you can't resist this special M, then just lie down and enjoy it!" Yan Changwu scolded a famous **** that made everyone laugh.
"We are also officials! They are right if they don't fight against them!" Gan Hui said dryly, and everyone laughed again.
"Well, order the fleet to expand!" Yan Changwu ordered.
The flag was issued on the flagship, and the ships complied.
……
Fortunately, Zou Weilian is in the center left office.
It is better to ask for help, the governor came up with a method that is not a solution, and that is to catch smuggling!
He bought some ferry boats (clippers), then eliminated some old and weak soldiers in the Fujian Navy, and re-recruited some better soldiers. They trained them to use them to catch smuggling ships offshore!
According to the Ming Dynasty's maritime prohibition system, all cargoes were smuggled ships, so the navy could catch them.
If you don't want to be caught, then let it go!
He also learned from Yan Changwu to collect water and use this method to earn money to accumulate strength to see if he can make a splint of Hong Maofan in the future to fight off against the Southeast Mansion.
This is what he can explain to Emperor Chongzhen, otherwise he will not do anything and make the emperor unhappy, then the black hat will not be guaranteed.
……
He supervised very sternly and often went to the center-left to watch the exercises. As a result, he saw a scene where the Southeast Fleet’s masts cover the sun, and its military prosperous.
From the binoculars, I saw that the battleships of the Southeast Palace had all opened their artillery doors and approached in a combat position. The artillery mounted on it was as dense as needles, giving people a huge deterrent!
Governor Zou's chest rises and falls, and his hatred is filled with righteous indignation.
"One battleship (informed by Lan Bangxian, Commander of the Fujian Navy) is worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, and three are six hundred thousand taels! In addition to twelve cruise ships, there are more than six hundred thousand taels of silver, a huge one million. Two silvers, he didn't turn it over to the court, huh, his heart is shameful! Such a rebel, how can the court tolerate him!"
When he was angry, he saw three big blessing boats coming from the nearby waters, blocking the front of the Southeast Fleet, and the sailors on the blessing boat, riding in small boats, left the blessed boat one after another, allowing the blessed boat to float on the sea.
When he was puzzled, he heard a loud thunderbolt, and he was shocked that the telescope in his hand fell to the ground!
The battleship opened fire!
The violent jet of flames hit the ship like a storm, and the storm shot out clouds, mist, thunder, and orange lightning, and the ship was blew up with wood chips and sawdust!
The battleship fired first, and then the cruise ship followed up, and the artillery leaned the projectile toward the lucky ship mercilessly!
Under the noses of Governor Zou and the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy from the Center and Left Institute, the Southeast Fleet gave them a wonderful teaching lesson, demonstrating battle line bombardment, single-ship assault, and the use of volleys and bursts to show the southeast. The superb artillery of the fleet!
Fast speed and fierce firepower~www.wuxiaspot.com~High hit rate!
What made some experts in the Fujian navy even more terrified: In less than half an hour, the three Dafu ships were sunk!
Seeing them sinking into the water quickly, everyone knows that when the sailing warship is bombarded, the opponent can't fight back. You may not be able to sink it in an afternoon, but it sinks so quickly, and the firepower is strong enough!
Governor Zou knew about this situation, and he couldn't help scratching his head.
How can you deal with the Southeast Fleet!
Hahaha! The principal Gan Hui laughed loudly. He bought three big blessing ships through the middleman, and they were driven out by the marines and some crew members. Before leaving, he damaged some key structures of the blessed ships and accelerated their sinking speed. Intimidate Governor Zou and Fujian Navy!
……
After showing their strength, the Southeast Fleet sent people to apologize to the Fujian Navy, saying that they were doing exercises, so I'm sorry to disturb you!
Then he sent a rumor saying that Governor Zou was going to send Fujian navy to fight the Southeast Fleet!
So, the new navy division that Governor Zou finally formed, most of them fled, and went to invest a small part of the Southeast Mansion...Everyone was smart enough to not want to suffer from the cannon of the Southeast Mansion.
His methods of anti-smuggling and collecting water were reprimanded by the court. The court said that he was right in anti-smuggling, but collecting water was wrong. Collecting water and collecting water was equivalent to acknowledging that maritime trade was legal, which was inconsistent with the ancestral family law and must be stopped.
There is a long stream. Everyone knows that only one road can be paid for tolls for a long time. You confiscated all the goods from others, and once there is no second time.
Governor Zou was at a loss...
……
In a mansion on Guozijian Street in Beiping, an old guy was doing his calculations. He saw that one of the items was "Ten Thousand Silver, Wen Mansion". The old guy smiled like an old fox and said: "It's too cheap, get an imperial second assistant!"
