Chapter 234: Another history
The loss of the pirate fleet this time was not small. More than fifty ships were destroyed. Finally, Liu Xiang saw the chance and escaped quickly without incurring more losses.
They sailed west to approach the coast, using shallow water and reefs to escape the pursuit of the Southeast Fleet.
The Southeast Fleet is still not in a hurry, not eager for success, but just follows from a distance, not putting itself in danger.
Liu Xiang sighed to Military Master Yu Xianke: "The leader of the Southeast Mansion, Yan Changwu, is said to be only 20 years old, but he is extremely hot and so hard to deal with!"
Yu cyclist was speechless.
He tried his best and tried every means to deal with the Southeast Fleet, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so involved!
The artillery is so powerful that it is not counted, and the firepower is extremely sufficient, it is invulnerable at all!
In the past, when dealing with navy divisions, the officers and soldiers had small ships and had little courage. When they encountered pirates, they didn't dare to fight hard.
On the contrary, it is the brave civic groups everywhere, in order to defend their hometown, it is a lot of trouble for the pirates.
But they are too poorly equipped, just to trouble the pirates.
To deal with the Hong Maofan, although their ships are like the Southeast Mansion, they are as good as the cannons, but their numbers are often small, and the number of people on the ships is too small. They can't stand the ant to kill the elephants in close combat, and there is a dilemma that the big ship cannot beat the boat. .
The Southeast Fleet is a freak. The number of ships and artillery is large, the number of people is also large, the guns are so many, the guns are screaming endlessly, as if they don't need money, and the more terrifying thing is that they are not afraid of death!
Just now face-to-face shelling, queuing up and shooting, they were all right, as if it was not themselves who died!
He's X, standing on such an opponent, it's almost like fighting against the sea god!
When thinking of Sea God, Yu Xianke's heart trembled. The Southeast Mansion believes in Mazu, it is impossible that this Yan Changwu was really sent by Mazu, so powerful!
……
When it got dark, the pirate fleet got rid of the pursuit of the Southeast Fleet, but there were more than a dozen ships left behind. The pirates could only watch them being chased by the Southeast Fleet and sunk one by one!
In this battle, the Southeast Fleet won a complete victory, sinking or destroying 62 ships of the other side, killing thousands of pirates, and capturing only dozens of prisoners—their guns and artillery hit everybody, and there were almost no prisoners. .
The cannon is the best!
The dead enemy is the best enemy!
No one died, probably less than 30 people were injured. It was as easy as a fire.
While sighing with emotion, the officers also realized that "more sweat in peacetime, less bloodshed in war" is not wrong at all!
The warlord’s words are like Huang Lu Dazhong: "I have prepared big ships, artillery and guns for you. You must bring the warships, train them (soldiers) hard, and be ready for battle at all times!"
Finally, everyone handed in a satisfactory answer!
The loss is negligible. There are carpenters on each ship, and the non-commissioned officers have strong hands-on ability. They can repair the lost parts immediately, as if they had not suffered any damage.
……
The fleet was divided into two parts, searching for traces of pirates along the coast. Unsurprisingly, the team led by Yan Changwu found the pirate ship brigade on the route to the south.
Get the upper hand! fire! Hit me!
Everyone already understands Yan Dashao's three-handed axe. If he doesn't have the upper hand, he would rather not fight, use his boat to grab the wind and quickly gain the upper hand.
Then just keep firing, firing!
The gunpowder is full of smoke, Liu Xiang almost bit his teeth with hatred (they rarely brush their teeth). Although the opponent has few ships, they are clever not to get into the phalanx. They just keep firing their cannons, too much! hateful!
Even if Liu Xiang deliberately sent a fleet to lure the opponent to pursue, the Southeast Fleet remained unmoved and firmly occupied the upper air.
After paying the price of 13 ships that day, the pirate fleet disappeared into the night.
was bitten on the third day unfortunately. The Southeast Fleet did not seek merits, but did not seek demerits. It was very down-to-earth to kill the pirates boat by boat!
After paying the price of more than 30 ships, Liu Xiang’s fleet entered the Pearl River Estuary, where there were many islands, and finally got rid of Yan Changwu’s pursuit.
At that time, walking on the feet, sailing by the wind, communication by roaring, and seeing things by the eyes, adding a pair of binoculars is better, Yan Changwu can not stand against the sky.
He sailed back to Huangpu, Guangzhou. When the officials heard that he had done a good job again, they came to the ship to celebrate.
He Ke Yingmen was overwhelmed. As everyone got to know him better, they were amazed at the same time, and they made friends with him one after another.
……
Xiong Ting went back to the Governor's Mansion with joy, because Yan Changwu gave him the credit, showing that he was "brave in combat, commanding well, and outstanding in combat!"
With the merits of suppressing bandits, he can be promoted to the position of deputy commander. More importantly, he brought back an important message from Yan Changwu.
"In the waters of Guangdong Province, three miles away from the coastline, the southeast government flag (ie Shui Yin) is sold, the Chinese ship is two thousand silver dollars, the Hong Maofan three thousand silver a ship, all ocean-going merchant ships, all have to buy the flag, Only travel!
is divided into Yanbaxiongji, how about? "
Xiong Wencan was indecisive after receiving this message.
In the waters of Fujian Province, the southeast government forcefully collected water and swallowed it alone. Young Master Geyinyan was a local, and he was not afraid of foreign officials. The Fujian navy was crushed to death by him.
But Guangdong province can’t do that. He is a foreigner, he must collude with the local officials and gentry. It’s better to be a good man than to be a good man. Lao Xiong has a very good relationship with Xiaoyan in Fujian. He is now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he is the best partner. .
Choi silk is touching!
Xiong Wencan set up the "Guangdong Far Sea Fleet" directly under the Governor’s Yamen in the name of anti-smuggling, anti-sea bandits, and anti-hong barbarian's seal of Guan Fang, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi ~www.wuxiaspot.com: For the defense of far seas, the offshore waters are still under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Navy.
The Far Sea Fleet, the Guangdong side did not have a copper plate, in fact, it is the detachment fleet of the Southeast Fleet, and its station is on Wailingding Island.
Two signs "Guangdong Far Sea Fleet" and "Southeast Fleet in Guangdong Dispatching Fleet" hung on the door of the temporary wooden house on Wailingding Island. The wharf and camp area are very simple and hurry. Congratulations to the guests who attended the inauguration ceremony. Only Xiong Ting was the only one, and the rest were from the Southeast Mansion. Only a few firecrackers were burned, and the matter was hastily.
But Yan Changwu is extremely happy, this is a leap!
Since then, the Southeastern Prefecture has occupied the sea off Guangdong Province, together with the sea off Fujian Province, completely controlling the South China Sea and strangling the throats of Sino-foreign trade. Any orb’s invasion of China will no longer be possible, and it is of great significance!
……
There is a two-story house near the Guangzhou Zhujiang Tianzi Wharf. It is gray and unremarkable, with the sign "Guangdong Ocean Fleet Logistics". It is the land base of the "Guangdong Ocean Fleet" and is used to purchase supplies to supply the detachment fleet. At the same time, it is also the contact point for the purchase of water diversion (not here). People in need will be contacted here and paid for the flag on Wailingding Island.
After the establishment of the Guangdong Ocean Fleet and the announcement of the collection of water diversions, unexpectedly, maritime merchants actually rushed to pay for silver and silver dollars, so that the silver vault on Wailingding Island was suddenly full, and they had to step up to build a larger silver vault!
So that Yan Changwu sent an urgent letter to Chen Zhongji in Taiwan: "Guangdong saves a lot of money and people are stupid. Quickly add more shipbuilding funds, how much more!"
