After Hong Xiguan left, seeing the regretful eyes of everyone around him, Zhu Yifeng shook his head and said: "The so-called those who come are not afraid, and those who are afraid will not come, he is here with the heart of death, as long as we kill him or detain him, the Southeast Army will use it as an excuse to fight to the death with us!" ”

"Boost their morale, how can I do it!" Zhu Yifeng seems to be a wise pearl from afar, and his natural subordinates are like a tide of words: "The governor is high!" ”

In fact, they felt a lot of regret in their hearts, and they lost an opportunity to capture the other party's important captive for nothing.

There was nothing to do that night, and when the sky was about to dawn, breakfast was being eaten on the officer and army warship, and the Southeast Fleet was so big!

……

When the cannon sounded, Zhu Yifeng and Yu Zhihao were eating breakfast in the cabin of the Chinese army, Yu Zhihao was taking a bun and wanted to stuff it into his mouth, when he heard the sound of cannons, the bun in his hand fell unconsciously and did not know it.

Seeing his sluggish face, Zhu Yifeng was surprised: "Isn't it just a cannon, the sound of cannons can actually frighten a general military officer who leads more than 20,000 people, no wonder others say that he is a general!" ”

Who knows that Yu Zhihao's heart is overturning: "There are too many cannons in the Southeast Mansion!" ”

The sky is about to brighten, the morning light is faint, the Ming army saw the battlefield situation clearly, and the news was reported to the Chinese army ship: "There are eighteen red-haired plywood boats in the southeast province!" ”

This news made Zhu Yifeng drop something: he was holding the teacup for a while, but he dropped the teacup by mistake!

Rioters!

Under the excitement of the perfect system, the aura of infrastructure madness has exploded!

In more than a year, the Kaohsiung shipyard built eighteen sixth-class cruisers in one go, so fast and good that Barents, the chief engineer, exclaimed: "We Dutch are not as good as you!" ”

You must know that the Dutch shipbuilding speed is also quite fast, otherwise they would not be able to become coachmen at sea, others make boats as ships, they make boats like carriages, one side builds ships, and the other side builds carriages, so naturally the speed of building carriages is faster.

But Barents saw how hard the workers of the Kaohsiung shipyard in the southeast province worked hard, although there was overtime pay, but compared to their hard work, it was not worth mentioning!

They arrive early and late every day, and although they are not disadvantaged in terms of wages, they are not for wages.

Barents was so struck that he wrote in his diary: "......... The workers of the shipyard worked in three shifts, day and night, they had no days off, they worked like cattle all day long, without regrets! ”

The battleship poured dumplings like groundwater, which frightened the officers and men of the Daming Water Division.

At first they thought they had a lot of 250 ships, but the opponent's eighteen gunboats came out, one with 20 guns, and 18 with 360 guns, and 180 guns on one side.

At most, the warships of the Daming Navy Division are one bow and one stern and one cannon, and 500 guns seem to be many, but it is impossible to rush up, and the firepower density of the gunboats in the southeast is far better than that of the Daming Navy.

The warship of such a great Ming naval division bombarded the other side fiercely, and immediately pierced through the wall, and the ship was in a mess, and the exclamations continued.

……

Eighteen battleships formed the first strike group, grabbed the south wind of Penghu, lined up in a battle line, the battleships came in a stream, aimed at the Daming Navy Division to bombard continuously, what a beautiful scene: a long row of beautiful firelight, a roar of muffled thunderboats, fell on the opponent's ship and brought out bursts of screams!

Marine Hong Xiguan had already returned to the unit, and he was standing on the side of the command position behind Kaohsiung No. 1, and in the center was Deputy Admiral Li Ying, both of whom were observing the effects of the shelling through binoculars, and both had satisfied smiles on their faces.

The formation of the Southeast Prefecture took advantage of the darkness of night to arrive at dawn and immediately arrived close to open fire, because the shooting rate of the enemy was high, and the enemy's fleet was dense, almost no bullets were missed, and the officers and men of the Daming Naval Division complained bitterly.

Seeing that the Daming Navy Division could not organize an offensive after being attacked, and could not threaten the army for the time being, Li Ying put down the binoculars, looked relaxed, and said to Hong Xiguan: "You are going to the Navy Division this time, we are really worried about you, but fortunately, you come back safely, and your father will be relieved to hear about it." But don't do it again! This time you met Governor Zhu, they literati love face, if it were Yu Zhihao, you would never be able to leave. ”

"I'm not afraid!" Hong Xiguan said indifferently: "If I die, you will avenge me, I also have children, and the Overseers will take care of them in the future." ”

Li Ying nodded, knowing that what Hong Xiguan said was true.

The army of the southeast province has established a very perfect preferential pension system, that is, for those who are disabled in the battle of Yan Changwu, the southeast government will support them for life and guarantee their benefits.

The families of the war dead will receive a generous pension (Yan Changwu can afford it), if they are left orphaned, they will be enrolled in a junior military academy, raised by the Southeast Prefecture, and will join the navy or army in the future, and there will be no problem in life.

After more than a year of contact, everyone knows that Yan Changwu is a person, he is generous and kind to his own people, and he can sell his life to him with confidence.

"Look!" Li Ying tempted Hong Xiguan and said: "In the future naval battles, most of them will be battles on the battle line, gunboats are the royal road, and land battles and gang battles are not to say that there are none, but compared to artillery battles, it is not worth mentioning!" ”

He raised his fist and strengthened his tone: "If you want to fight more, you have to become a captain!" ”

Hong Xiguan smiled and said: "But the captain is not going to shoot guns, he is just commanding, and he can't enjoy it!" ”

"Why can't you enjoy it!" Li Ying pointed to a six-pounder gun on the side of the deck and said, "You can also open fire, and someone else will load you with ammunition after the fight!" ”

"Besides, as a captain, you can also jump into a gang to fight, as long as you want!"

According to the command sequence of the Southeast Mansion, the captain has the highest power on the ship, he really wants to jump to the gang to fight, no one can control him, if he can win the battle, P has nothing to do.

"It's a rare opportunity!" Li Ying said quietly: "The military academy continues to train naval officers, and there will be more and more officers in the future, there may not be an opportunity like now, like I can be a deputy admiral after six months of training, Yan Donglai has become a good opportunity for the deputy captain of a third-class ship at a young age, he will be released in the future, at least the captain of a sixth-level ship, and if you are lucky, you can become the captain of a third-class ship to be delivered next year!" ”

Hong Xiguan couldn't help but waver!

He froze for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Just follow my uncle's words, give me a position as a naval officer!" ”

"Good, wrap it up on me!" Li Ying successfully transferred one of his sons and nephews from the Marine Corps to the Navy!

……

When the Daming Naval Division hurriedly chased it out, the ships of the First Strike Group of the Southeast Province pulled their sails and rushed forward, opening up a distance from the Daming Naval Division, and after that, they drew a large circle, seized the upper hand position again, and drove to the right side of the Daming Naval Division's formation to launch an artillery bombardment.

On Yu Zhihao's telescope, he saw that the port side of the opposing formation kept spewing orange-red tongues of fire, and then the cannon roared.

After the second round of shelling, the other party walked away, and drew a circle in the distance to prepare to come back!

"We have thirty-five ships injured and one ship sank! About two hundred people were killed and wounded. Yu Zhihao said to Zhu Yifeng in a low voice.
