vs 176 The Force is with me
The next time was very hurried, and an enlarged meeting was held, with the participation of the captains of each ship, to listen to the combat deployment.
Supplies were urgently sent to the ships, the personnel were named, and the docks and ships were busy.
The towns are in a state of emergency, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is gone.
Careful inspections and meticulous preparations were carried out on the batteries defending the towns.
Over the years, the southeast province has indeed collected a lot of silver, but it has not saved any money, it is the moonlight clan, and the money is mainly spent on the army, among which the defensive batteries of the towns have been set up, and the artillery is ...... Originates from Macau, Luzon, the Dutch, and the British.
The Dutch had a holiday with the southeastern province, but the business between them was quite prosperous, and there were also many "staunch patriots" standing in the red hair, who sold the artillery that might hit them to the southeastern province, of course, there was the pride of the Dutch, they thought that the yellow people could not play artillery, because they had seen the gunners of the Ming Dynasty, because of the neglect of practice, rotten into scum, inaccurate artillery, not into the eyes of the Dutch.
They thought that it didn't matter if they sold artillery to the southeastern province, and the four countries of Hongmao rushed to sell artillery and gunpowder in order to achieve a trade balance, and even at the most tense time, before the two armies went to war, they also let Sherlock get a shipload of artillery back to Taiwan.
The Dutch have never seen what the "Moon, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Jinjin" training in the southeast province is like......
The number of guns sold by the red-haired fan is very large!
The number was so large that two forts were built in each of the five towns of the southeast province, and each fort had ten guns, that is, one town had ten 24-pounder guns and ten 12-pounder guns.
He also armed all the warships of the Southeast Mansion, and after a few years of hard work, he sold thousands of cannons to the Southeast Mansion, which is unimaginable!
The batteries are ready, the people are shots, and every town has more than three hundred muskets!
Just wait for the enemy to arrive, and then hit the enemy head-on!
The first strike group is composed of sail warships, with Yan Changwu as the main general, Storm as the deputy general, and then there is the second strike group, that is, the existing various bird ships (bird ships are small fast sea ships of the Fu ship type. The length of the ship is 10 meters, the width is 3.4 meters, it is a fast-attacking ship type), the reeling ship is transformed from the reeling net fishing boat, belongs to the medium-sized sea ship built in southern Fujian, is the main warship of the Ming Dynasty sailors, the length is 12-25 meters, the width is 3.6-6.4 meters), the double-sail ship (also known as the double-sail boat, is built in Zhang, Xiamen and other areas with a solid structure, flexible handling, fast medium-sized warship. The boat is 20 meters long and 5.7 meters wide, and is made of pine and fir timber. The ship can also be used as an ocean-going cargo ship, and the boaters live on the ship with their families, and there are sleeping cabins, which can be transformed into hundreds of warships if needed.
These warships, which were convenient for shallow sea operations, were not lost, with Deputy Admiral Li Ying as the main general and Li De as the deputy general, they were mainly to guard against the enemy's attack on the four towns of Tainan, and as for Taipei Town, it had to depend on their luck.
In Fuzhou, Governor Xiong Wencan received a report from Taiwan Wei, saying that the Sino-Dutch warships of Hongmao were so large that they would attack Taiwan Wei!
It is possible that pirates such as Li Kuiqi and Liu Xiang will raid the coasts of Taiwan and Fujian, so please beware of Fujian sailors.
Xiong Wencan discussed the situation with his staff Mr. Zhong and Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu thought that the fight between the two sides was a good opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
He said eloquently: "Taiwan's Wei has always been unruly and unruly, and they have not submitted to jurisdiction, and they have just taken this opportunity to weaken their strength, and they have not asked for help, so we are happy to see the excitement." ”
Mr. Zhong believes that it is better for both sides to lose, at least they will be hit hard, so that the officers and troops will have a chance to regain their strength, and they will all be so pressed that the southeast government cannot raise their heads.
"But!" Mr. Zhong said: "In the opinion of the mountain people, we can give an order to the Taiwan Guard, and let it exterminate the pirates and defend the sea frontier!" It can also send 20 black ships and 1,000 non-commissioned officers to the area of Taiwan. He paused for a moment and said: "If you go to Taiwan, you can obey the orders of Taiwan Wei!" ”
Mr. Liu was taken aback when he heard this, and was about to refute, but he saw Xiong Wencan and said: "Mr. Zhong's words are very good, and the official will do it according to it." ”
Mr. Zhong and Mr. Liu walked side by side, and Mr. Liu asked: "Wenshan (Mr. Zhong's character), you seem to be very optimistic that Taiwan Wei can win this battle?" ”
"Zhiyuan (Mr. Liu's character), it doesn't matter if you are optimistic or not, the main thing is that that kid (Yan Changwu) is too young, he is not yet twenty years old, and he has created such a big foundation, saying that he will be defeated when he is young, I really don't believe it!" Mr. Zhong smiled bitterly.
The two of them fell silent at the thought of the boy's age.
Young is good!
……
The wind and waves roar, and the waves are like flying!
It was the eighth day of the Spring Festival, and the reconnaissance clippers reported that they had spotted the Dutch fleet about a few dozen miles off the coast of Taiwan, in a westerly easterly direction.
After simply sacrificing Mazu and asking her old man to bless her people with a smooth battle, the Southeast Fleet was immediately activated, one after another the battleships left the port, the administrative center organized a large number of people to cheer at the dock, and the officers and men of the battleships who set sail were full of emotions and had a high will to fight!
The sky is beautiful, and a cold air in the north is going south, and the northwest wind is blowing strongly!
The South-Eastern Fleet has the upper hand and sails to the sea where the enemy fleet is found!
The Southeastern Fleet, which had the upper hand, took advantage of the tailwind (it was possible to gain initiative and maneuver, and the smoke of the guns was also blowing along the wind to the enemy, enough to blind the enemy's blind line) and calmly met the challenge from the Dutch fleet.
Everyone was busy on their respective warships, and many people looked at the tall stern of the giant ship "Taiwan" (a third-class battleship), where there was an existence beyond the imagination of the world: the Black Samurai Siresma!
He had been burned by gunpowder in battle, he had lost a layer of skin, his hair and eyebrows were gone, and he was ugly enough to be a red-haired devil (in the eyes of his countrymen), but now he was as ugly as a yaksha.
To be honest, he was also quite depressed, he couldn't go back to his hometown in the Netherlands, and he was disfigured and difficult to come out to meet people, how could he lead the troops? Let him be depressed.
Siresma is Yan Changwu's right-hand man, and he has proved his value in many battles, how can Yan Changwu allow such a useful person to sink!
So he drew a pattern, sent someone to Foshan, and created a unique gift for Siresma!
At the beginning of the 15th century, Foshan iron smelting has been recorded in historical records. At the time of Chenghua and Hongzhi, most of the residents of Foshan took iron smelting as their business. Foshan Town is located at the confluence of the Xijiang and Beijiang rivers. The castle is surrounded by water, and the water transportation is convenient. Most of the pig iron mined and smelted in various parts of Guangdong went down the river and was trafficked to the town to fry and cast mature iron ingots and other iron products. The iron smelting industry in Foshan Town is privately owned, and the iron smelting households are called furnace households, and the people hired by the furnace households are craftsmen. Due to the different types of cast iron products, several industries have been formed in each furnace. According to the official notice of the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635) about the construction of the iron industry in Foshan, the casting industry includes: casting pots, casting iron stoves, frying wrought iron to make military weapons, pulling iron wires, building iron locks, making farm tools and iron nails, etc. Foshan ironware is sold at home and abroad.
I have to say that the level of Foshan ironware craftsmen is extremely high and the degree of authenticity is extremely high, which makes Yan Changwu, who originally had a joking mentality, startled when he saw the finished product.
……
Lord Darth Vader, the Black Warrior (Hail to him!) The mask is made of black iron (the eyes are made of polished black crystals that can transmit light), the body armor is made of leather (the cuirass is made of black iron), black breeches, black leather boots, a black cloak, and a silver sword! (It's a pity that I can't get the red sword for a while).
The shoulders are embroidered in red English: May the force be with me (the force is with me), very stylish.
The black mask is seven points close to the mask of the characters in the movie, but the difference is that there are many ventilation holes on the cheeks, but through the clever combination, it is not easy to see.
There are also a lot of ventilation holes in the back of the head, plus ventilation holes in the mouthparts, so that he will not get hot.
The helmet looked imposing, but it was light and strong, and with black leather armor, the weight was not a problem for the strong Siresma
It is conceivable that when the tall Cyresma is worn, he can receive the effect of "full silence".
The gift was a joy for Siresma, who dressed it up triumphantly and showed it off, even if he was sweating.
So he went out to see things, jumping up and down, and walking up and down, lest no one else should see him.
If you have seen the real black knight, you must know that the current black warrior is a fake, but the ancients have not seen it, and they didn't even dare to take a breath when Siresma appeared.
Right now, he is wearing black armor and mask equipment and standing on the stern of the "Taiwan" to show off, and the weather is cold at this time, so he is just wearing it.
He was promoted to captain of this giant ship!
The Dutchman Siresma, who is the captain of the flagship of the Forward, only feels that he is full of force, and he is full of spirit, and he is ready to beat his compatriots and send them to meet the Sea Dragon King!
