Chapter 349: The Last Backbone of the Imperial Navy
Lord, doesn't the imperial court have a navy? Didn't the Navy stop it? "Zhao Gang is very strange, why didn't the imperial court use the navy, after all, the navy still has so many troops?
Chen Ye smiled and didn't speak, and directly took out a (qíng) newspaper from a pile of newspapers.
Zhao Gang opened it and saw that the three or two lines were very simple, and the navy was seeking war: the imperial court had formed ten wooden warships with combat effectiveness, equipped with three artillery pieces, and asked for war to cut off the supply line of the Japanese invaders.
The rest of Chen Ye basically doesn't need to be said, Zhao Gang can also guess the approximately, it is estimated that the imperial court has not invested much in the navy for so many years, and many ships have not formed combat effectiveness.
This kind of request to fight will definitely be refuted, stay in the military port well, or the military law will deal with it, so the navy will stay in the military port honestly, and everyone can maintain basic training.
It is estimated that the navy has not been out for a long time, and it is a mystery how much combat strength it can have.
Chen Ye waited for his navy to be trained for a short period of time, and when the time came, he would have a big fight at sea, telling the Japanese that the sea was no longer their paradise, and they were not free to do anything (qíng).
On the sea, four ships are forming on the sea at high speed, and the yellow dragon flag hanging high on the mast is being blown by the wind.
On the deck of the Guangshou warship, Wang Changshou looked at the three ships behind (shēn), and a smile appeared on his face, behind the smile, in fact, there was a sense of tragedy, and all the soldiers could not leak a trace of happiness (qíng) on their faces, and their faces were solemn.
Wang Changshou couldn't bear to hide in the bay, so he made his own decision and asked for war, without waiting for any instructions from the imperial court, so he rushed to the battlefield with four warships, preparing to fight to the death with the ships of the Japanese invaders.
The current imperial navy has been decayed, and the money allocated by the imperial court every year can reach the newly built ships, and there is no way, the ships are replenished again and again, until the ships can not go to sea, and can only hide in the military port.
The emperor doesn't know how long he hasn't observed the situation of the navy, and he doesn't know how many ships he has to fight, and Wang Changshou thinks that his twists and turns should not be passed in front of the emperor, and if his twists and turns are seen by the emperor, it is estimated how many heads will fall to the ground.
Anyway, his life career is already like this, but he is not willing to be like this for the rest of his life, and the navy under his command can't just disappear quietly.
With a grit of teeth and a ruthless heart, he set off directly with soldiers who were willing to fight with the Japanese invaders to cut off the supply lines of the Japanese invaders.
The imperial court also had a chance to breathe, and by the time the Guangshou ship went to sea, Chen Ye's (qíng) newspaper system had been continuously sent to Chen Ye from the north.
But even when Chen Ye got the (qíng) report, it had been almost five days and five nights.
After Chen Ye immediately opened the map, judging by the normal speed, it was estimated that the four warships were about to arrive in the East China Sea, and they could already exchange fire with the Japanese at any time.
Chen Ye's estimate is optimistic, in fact, the Guangshou has not yet reached the normal combat sea area, in fact, the ship of the Guangshou is still at a speed of ** knots, and the other three, Mirror, Liyun, and Xizhao, are good to be able to reach six knots. This creates a problem, once the war starts, how to configure the uneven ships, the fast speed, have to slow down and wait for the slow, this battle has no way to fight.
The navy is not yet equipped with a steam engine, only the Guangshou has a steam engine, it is still simple, and the other three ships are all rowed by people.
It may be that ordinary people imagine that it is not the same as slow, but Wang Changshou has no way, once Wang Changshou District Qingjin area observed, just to see Chen Ye's big ship, I didn't expect Chen Ye to be making an iron ship, and was about to paste it in to take a look.
was directly taken away by the soldiers of the security department, and interrogated vigorously, and even the people of the security department were ready to kill Wang Changshou, afraid of revealing Chen Ye's secrets, including how Wang Changshou knew.
He is out of the navy (shēn), and he knows a lot of shipbuilders, and when he hears such a mouth, he wants to secretly see if this is the case.
In the end, after summarizing this (qíng) newspaper to Chen Ye's whereabouts, other people who rushed in and were more famous would be released, and those who deliberately spied (qíng) the newspaper would be killed directly.
Chen Ye has never been soft-hearted, so when Wang Changshou saw the big ship made of steel up close, he couldn't walk anymore. Imagine that one day you can sail on such a battleship, and it is worth it to die.
However, the ships of Fengzhou City will not help the imperial court, they are still developing, such a good ship does need to develop for a certain amount of time, if the Japanese are a year late, Wang Changshou believes that the Japanese will not be able to enter.
Now looking at his own ships and four ships, he can only say that he is ready to die.
The military flag began to wave around, this is a sign that there is an unknown ship on the opposite side, it should be a local warship, Wang Changshou took out the binoculars, looked at the ship opposite, clearly hoisted the flag of the Japanese Kou, there are two ships in total, a warship, a merchant ship. There should be what military orders should be carried out.
"Soot found in the southwest."
"Soot found in the West."
Wang Changshou didn't expect that he would be able to meet the ships of the Japanese Invaders here, so he directly ordered to go up and prepare for war.
At this time, the four ships hurriedly increased their speed and quickly approached, and the ships of the Japanese invaders saw the four warships attacking them, and quickly adjusted their combat posture, and could not escape in time at sea, which was a live target.
The information is not smooth, and the only way to rely on the flag language is to communicate, which also makes the connection between ships not very passive.
"1 nautical mile from the enemy." On the bridge, the surveyors reported the positions of both sides.
The distance is already very good, just wait for Wang Changshou to give the order, whether to fire (shè) or not.
It is true that the cannon can be fired at this distance, but it is still necessary to ensure that one shot hits, so it can only continue to get close to the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese warships have long been unable to wait, and two shells flew over, but the distance is a little far, and the shells only hit the sea in front of the bow.
Taking a cold breath, the captain of the Guangshou, Wang Changshou, looked at the Japanese warship close at hand, and knew that the best (shè) strike distance: "All the artillery, two shelling, put!" ”
The surface of the East China Sea is now the rumbling of cannons and the billowing of gunsmoke, and the originally calm and peaceful sea has now been broken by the roar of cannonballs and the explosion of cannonballs falling into the water.
After the Japanese ship was bombarded by four warships, smoke was already rising, and the skyrocketing fire reflected the sea red.
Soon all the ships of the Japanese were ignited and slowly sank to the surface, and not a single ship of the navy was injured, and only one merchant ship remained, and they ran forward desperately.
Wang Changshou would not let go of this opportunity, and quickly ordered the warship to speed up, caught up, and forced the merchant ship to stop.
When Wang Changshou came up, he found that the person driving the boat was actually a Zhongshan countryman, and his face was also very unhappy.
"Why are you helping the Woko deliver things, what are you transporting in this ship?" Wang Changshou directly questioned the shipowner.
Knowing that everyone values Han (jiān) very much now, in order to keep himself alive, he knelt down directly, and explained everything (qíng) clearly, after all, he didn't want to die.
"My lord, this is all bī mine, and it's full of shells and ammunition. And some weapons, that's all. ”
Wang Changshou was about to ask what else was going on when he suddenly heard the soldiers coming and saying that something had been found, and after Wang Changshou got off the boat and looked at it, there was a cage in which he was tired and dead, and a group of women were also imprisoned inside.
These women were unclothed, and (shēn) were covered with bruises and bruises.
Wang Changshou wanted to kill people, and after letting go of these women, after preparing the soldiers' clothes, Wang Changshou took the women to the deck.
When these women saw the captain, they immediately became excited, and pointed to the captain of the merchant ship: "My lord, you have to call the shots for us, he tricked us into the ship, so that we can be wantonly humiliated by the Japanese invaders, and even he sometimes comes to bully us." ”
When the captain of the merchant ship heard these women say this, he had no choice but to keep kneeling down and begging for mercy.
The women went on to tell their stories, "We were actually tricked, they had a job, very simply, to make some handicrafts, and as soon as we entered the house, we were knocked unconscious, and then we were humiliated by the pirates and them. And we're not the first batch. ”
