Section 866 The red hairy fan is coming
With the excuse of the Hongmaofan merchant ships in Anshun Harbor, and in the name of God to gather all the countries together, the Hongmaofan ships slaughtered mightily towards the Strait of Malacca, and they had already seen the coastline in the distance.
And offshore, a streamlined fishing boat with the port number "Suyu 981"? Sailing slowly, the sailors on board are leisurely sea fishing.
The point is that this is a Fergate-style clipper-converted fishing boat, the world's first-class ocean-going clipper, which can run like a light seagull across the sea.
Not only that, they have a lot of telescopes with long guns and short cannons on their ships, and they have large cannon telescopes, although the price of telescopes has been falling in recent years, but such a thick guy is at least equal to the income of ordinary people for a year.
Jiang Taigong fishes, not fishing, but lonely.
They have a mission and have no intention of thinking about fishing, the problem is that the more careless, the more the fish in the sea will take the bait.
This area is near the entrance to the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean current is fierce, there are a lot of large groupers, groupers are fish that eat fish, especially powerful, heavy big fish sometimes have to let two sailors work together to deal with them, sailors raise rods, and then chase the line, and the fish start a tug-of-war, a full 62 kilograms of grouper surfaced, big guy! A few people had to help him get it out of the water.
Huge things are frequent, fishing in the Indian Ocean, cool in one word!
Some people say that after retiring, they simply come here to fish and become a fisherman.
It's our territory anyway, isn't it?!
In these years, the Chinese are beginning to emerge, but they have not yet reached the level of one billion people, the fishing gear used is not strong, and the fish still have a way to live, so there are many fish.
The crew of this boat was almost all young men, the older captain was in his forties, and was called "Daddy", because he knew everything, and he knew everything about the eighteen ways of the sea, fishing, sailing, firing guns, and being proficient in all kinds of life. Dad! ”
"What's the matter?" Daddy asked.
"Look!" The freckled sailor pointed to the point, and everyone looked at it, and I don't know when, the water and sky in the west are lined with sails!
In fact, it was the mast that first appeared, and now after the sail shadow appeared, it was discovered that the sailors who watched were derelict in their duties!
But the father didn't scold anyone, and told the sailors to take off the fat of the big fish, and then throw the body of the fish into the sea, and the rest of the unnecessary things were also thrown into the sea, and there was nothing left!
Life and death, no one dares to be careless, hurry up and do it.
The fish body that was thrown down immediately attracted sharks, and although they were killed by the Chinese, they still followed the fishing boats one after another.
"Left rudder!" Daddy taught the sailors to rush to the west and fearlessly meet the huge sail fleet!
Dad's surname is Pan Huasheng, he is a senior non-commissioned officer, his sailors are his soldiers, and his boat is a scout ship here for early warning.
It is their duty to face the enemy and find the enemy's information.
In Officer Pan's Fergate-style clipper, everyone shouted in a gossipy.
"There are so many ships, I ordered thirty of them!"
"I ordered fifty-five!"
"No, it's fifty!"
"Double gun deck! This is a battleship! ”
"Kidney (St.) George's flag, the British, the damn British, actually went to war with us, it seems that this year's sugar is gone!"
"No, after the war, business is still the same!" Sergeant Pan snorted coldly: "No one will have a hard time with silver!" ”
"I saw the Spanish flag, the British, the Dutch and the two-toothed people, the red-haired four countries, you can put together a table of mahjong!"
Lookouts shouted with binoculars in their hands, and someone said, "Look, the other side's cruiser is coming towards us, Nijo!" ”
"Don't worry, keep counting and look carefully!" Sergeant Pan calmly commanded the clippers to pass along the edge of the opposing large fleet, and to point out the number of enemy ships as much as possible.
At present, the sea is vast, and in order to save time, the other party adopts the method of going hand in hand, which is convenient for everyone to count.
The cruiser was getting closer and closer, and the two cruisers with 28 guns were not much different from the sixth-class cruisers in the Southeast Province, and their twelve-pound cannons could easily tear through the planks of the fragile clippers.
When the cruiser was only a kilometer away from him, "Go!" Sergeant Pan shouted, commanding the ship to sail in the north wind, it suddenly opened its skewren schooner and upper mast, and at once it caught the wind, and with lightning speed like an arrow out of the range of attack of the cruiser's guns, its astonishing speed frightened the British on the cruiser, even if John Bull tried his best, he still couldn't catch up, and could only watch the clipper away.
In less than an hour, the Clippers had already pulled the distance between each other to five miles, "Running so fast!" The Englishman was stupid and gave up on continuing the chase.
"Suyu 981" returned at high speed and soon entered the offshore sea, and a majestic city stood on the shore in the distance--- Xintai'an City, and there were fishing boats and merchant ships in the surrounding waters.
Nor near the shore, "Suyu 981" did not slow down, continued to drive, and launched three red fireworks in the air, hitting the air!
The three red fireworks are the highest alert level, indicating that the enemy is strong and must be dealt with with with all your might.
Soon after, three red fireworks also returned to Xintai'an City, and then the wolf smoke rose, and the warning bell came from afar!
The city was visibly in an uproar, but it had nothing to do with "Suyu 981", which drove all the way to spread the news of the enemy's arrival.
Red hair is coming!
The news of the arrival of the Hongmao Fan fleet spread like a plague, and before they arrived, the cities of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula were already in chaos, and the sound of gunfire and artillery rang out, and it was the lone ship of the Red Haired Fan who was trying to fish in the troubled waters to start first!
The soldiers and civilians of those cities quickly woke up from the initial shock, and the troops followed one company after another, and battalion after battalion, all of them carried out their orders in a mobile manner.
The people picked up muskets and gathered at the designated place.
The enemy is coming, take up arms and fight to defend our homeland!
Fight to the death!
The southeast government system said: "Local officials and local garrisons have the responsibility to defend the land, and officials who lose their land will be killed!" ”
Today's southeast province has not been frustrated, and the behemoth is also like a behemoth, and it is full of revenge, whether it is against the enemy or against their own people, so the local officials have gloomy faces and devote themselves to preparing for war.
The local garrison is waiting on the coastal forts, the new Tai'an City is the first place, the garrison is full of two regiments, the fort is equipped with 28 24-pounder cannons, plus dozens of small cannons, muskets, and militia, more than half a thousand muskets are waiting for the arrival of Hongmaofan.
In the binoculars of the garrison, I saw a series of red-haired battleships with double gun decks coming one after another, and the soldiers counted nervously.
Nearly 100 large ships!
Five-nation combined fleet!
The Chinese were greatly relieved that the Hongmaofan warships did not attack the city, did not even bombard, and brushed the edge of the city, so that they quickly sent a Vergate clipper in the hidden harbor to go a little farther away, and spread more accurate news of the enemy situation to the rear, and do their part.
