Volume VIII 1231 Showing off their might

Next chapter

The training site of the Harbour Master School is in the open sea of Changle County under the rule of Fuzhou, east of Ciao Island and west of Dongsha Island.

The Qing Dynasty's maritime ban policy had already been loosened in those years, and the iron rule that no sails could go to sea had long existed in name only, and as long as you were an ordinary fisherman driving a small boat to fish in the coastal area, the general government would not care about you.

As long as you don't build three-masted galleons and ocean-going ships privately, the court won't bother to care if you beg for food from the sea.

Because of this, every time Deng Shichang and his family go to sea for training, they can see many fishermen's boats haunting this offshore water, fighting waves and typhoons for their lives.

But today, what appeared in front of everyone was not the usual picture of harmonious and peaceful fishermen fishing, in the south of the people, that is, in the direction of Pingtan direction, people could faintly see a large black dot was moving rapidly towards the north.

The French instructors and these young future captains were able to confirm that it was a huge fleet, a large fleet that was rare along the coast of the Great Qing Kingdom.

The French instructor Ri Yige was the first to react: "Manfan! Listen to my order, Manfan is ready to evade...... Confirm the identity of the ship! God, it must be a battleship, it must be a battleship!"

Countless students subconsciously began to run to their posts, handling sails, untying cables, fixing deck debris, and the helmsman began to control the sailboat to stick in the direction of the Minjiang River estuary.

Deng Shichang and Liu Buyun shouted and were pulling the sail cable, "One-two, one-two, one-two, pull! Damn, it must be a Russian warship, and now at this juncture, it can't be a warship of another country, Brother Shichang, what are you doing in a daze? Wake up!"

Liu Buyun's words woke up Deng Shichang, and the young student's eyes were full of fire, "That's right, it must be the main fleet of Russia...... The number of opposing fleets is overwhelming, and the number is definitely more than twenty, and ordinary merchant ships will never form such a large formation to sail together. ”

"British, that's even more impossible, this is the coastal waters of the Great Qing Kingdom, if the real fleet wants to go smoothly and quickly, it should go to the middle of the Taiwan Strait, and no one will run here to play around the island!"

"So there is only one answer, this is the Russian Expeditionary Force, and this is the one who came to demonstrate against our Great Qing Kingdom!"

Deng Shichang's analysis was not wrong at all, people watched as the warships galloping in the direction of Pingtan in the south grew bigger and bigger, and when the Russian double-headed eagle flag appeared in the lookout's telescope, a terrified roar resounded across the sea.

"It's the Russian flag! It's really the fucking fleet, the executioner who killed the Chinese in Bailayi!"

"My day your mother ......" A group of friends were angry and their fists smashed on the mast and railing, blood flowing down their knuckles.

They are too arrogant, these Rakshasa ghosts are too arrogant, even if they bully the Qing Dynasty and do not have a navy, but it must be used as a basic diplomatic etiquette! Is the British navy strong? However, the Hong Kong warships went to Shanghai to patrol and did not stick to the coastline of the Qing Dynasty.

Even the British warships sailed in the main channel in the middle of the channel!

These rakshasas knocked over the boats of countless fishermen, and the frightened sea was full of wolves and rats, with only one purpose, to convey the terrifying message to the entire Qing Dynasty, and they were announcing to the whole of China, "We, the Russian navy, are coming, and you China can't."

Deng Shichang's nails were all sunk into the wood, and blood seeped out along the cracks in his nails, and he didn't know the pain at all, "Give me a battleship, I beg you to give me a battleship, as long as I rush up to fight, I'd rather give you my life!"

"Shame, shame, ......"

Riyige felt the sad and indignant atmosphere on the ship, this Frenchman did not have a good impression of Russia, France and Russia had a hundred years of hatred, and today he also spat fiercely into the sea, scolding a few words in French slang that I don't know where.

But what's the use of people's anger? A weak country is weak, a small training dhow, only a six-pounder small-caliber training smoothbore gun, such a small ant still wants to fight against the huge Tsarist expeditionary force?

The double-headed eagle flag was hunting in the sea breeze, and the commander of the expeditionary force, Stefansky, was standing on the bridge with vigor and blowing the sea breeze, his eyes were looking at the coastline of the Qing Dynasty, and he kept playing with a golden coin in his hand.

This is a gold coin, found from the vault of the Lotte Bank, no one thought that in the far east of the South Seas, you can find a gold coin from the ancient Roman period, this is a good treasure worth collecting.

When Stefansky saw Caesar's profile portrait smiling at him in the pile of gold coins, he had a gut feeling that his good fortune had finally come.

Of course, this is good luck, who can find ancient Roman gold coins more than 2,000 years ago in the East? What is this not luck? Not to mention the windfall of Bai Layi, every time he sees the gold in the wooden box, he will be extremely happy.

"The task given to me by His Majesty is to defeat the Far Eastern Volunteers, it is to defeat Xiao Letian, who would have thought that there would be so many unexpected gains while completing the main task, this is really a magical land, my lucky place!"

Stefansky fantasized that he would be welcomed by all the people in Moscow after he had overfulfilled his task, and His Majesty the Tsar personally awarded him a medal, how could he be crowned a marquis with his own merits, he was so excited, he was so excited......

Just when he was obscene, the ghost-faced man Molière quietly walked to his side, looked at the continuous Chinese coastline and sighed faintly: "What a rich piece of land this is, why did it give it to those weak Chinese?"

"Oh...... Are you a ghost? Why don't you walk without a sound?" said Stefansky, frowning.

"Isn't there a sound?hehe, I'm afraid you're absent-minded......" Molière casually handed the commander a cigarette and sneered, "Don't play with that gold coin, this bit of gold is not worth getting excited about, wait for us to blow up Xiao Letian's hidden gold island, then you can see gold like a mountain!"

Stefansky took a deep puff of his cigarette, he glanced at Molière and said lightly, "What are your plans after this war? If you can't get along in France, come to our Russia, the great tsar is a rare king, and he will reward you for ......your merits."

"Isn't there an old saying in Chinese? It's called the three holes of the cunning rabbit! You have to leave yourself a few more back roads......
