Three days later, regarding the matter of the chief's flight, the Volunteers had settled down.

Chen Zijian's explanation to the senior management of the Volunteer Army, and after their explanation, everyone was still confused about how the power delta wing flew into the sky, and there were many fewer thoughts of awe.

Another piece of news, but everyone is concerned about, that is, a hundred volunteers will be selected as the air force.

Li Shi: "Chief, what is the Air Force?" ”

"Didn't I try, it's the Air Force that flies in the sky, you command to go down and choose someone for me."

What are the criteria for selecting the Air Force, two conditions, one is good eyesight, and the most important thing is that there is no fear of heights. After satisfying the first two conditions, the other less important condition is to give preference to light-weight volunteers.

Driving a power delta wing, you don't need to exert too much force, normal people can, and lightweight volunteers can carry a little more material.

Flying a power delta wing is to fly at an altitude of 200 meters to 1,000 meters, and if you have a fear of heights, you can't do anything in the air.

Regarding everyone's reaction, Chen Zijian

Chen Zijian of the Air Force asked Li Shi to set up a shelf and wait for the next time he went to the north to collect intelligence.

As the shopkeeper, Chen Zijian has already taken the navy to sea.

On the sea, 30 warships of the Northern Navy, plus 50 logistics transport ships, formed a fleet and headed north.

The Volunteers intercepted merchant ships in the waters of eastern Guangdong, and they didn't need transport ships, but this time they needed sufficient supplies with them.

Zhang Wu "Chief, find out the situation." ”

After three days at sea, the fleet passed through the sea of eastern Guangdong and appeared in the waters of Fujian.

It's the first time the navy has come to this area, and it hasn't been here before, of course, it's not because I'm afraid of the pirate forces here.

Ships sail slowly, and the navy generally patrols the Pearl River estuary when it goes north, looking for pirates to practice artillery bombardment.

The matter of the power delta wing is just an after-dinner entertainment game, and it is okay to play on a small scale, and it is okay to officially set it up, and the power problem is not something that Zhangjiacheng can solve now.

Zhangjiacheng has not yet developed to that point, and the volunteers are enough to sweep away the enemy with their current weapons.

Chen Zijian's battleship, a shipyard craftsman city, is twice as large as an ordinary warship, and the various facilities on board are also the highest treatment, as the leader, Chen Zijian will not be stingy in terms of enjoyment.

Other warships are marked with ordinary numbers, such as 001 005, in the order in which they are listed.

Chan Tsz Kin's vessel, the Empire. The very arrogant ship's broadside shows its ambition.

The Empire was built very early and parked at the Dianbai County Naval Base for maintenance, and only Chen Zijian's personal guards were allowed to board the ship in normal times.

As Chen Zijian's car and a symbol of status, although Zhang Wu has no knowledge, he has the assistance of several masters to explain the status level to Zhang Wu. As a subordinate should have the appearance of a subordinate, the Empire does not have Chen Zijian's permission, and it is definitely asking for trouble when it goes up.

The reason is very simple, the Empire is the chief's car, you Zhang Wu went up without authorization, do you want to set up your own door, the idea of replacing the position of the chief, there is no way to explain such a thing, the best way is to stay away from the Empire.

With a length of 85 meters, a height of 30, a width of 15, and a draft of 4 meters, the Empire has a good ability to resist wind and waves, and can move steadily when encountering waves below three meters.

As long as the goods are sent to the South Seas, it is easy to obtain more than five times the profit, such a high harvest, it is not difficult to guess that the merchants in the Jiangnan region risk to form a group to go to sea for trade.

You must know that the imperial court banned going to sea after Zheng He went to the West, for the sake of huge interests, there was never a shortage of merchants who ventured to go to sea, and businessmen dared to go to sea, an important reason was the Ming officials behind it.

With the slogan of not competing with the people, the officials instigated the imperial court to prohibit ordinary merchants from going to sea, and businessmen with official backgrounds did not have such concerns.

Of course, when a businessman goes to sea, in addition to giving benefits to the officials behind him, this is the first step after obtaining the right to go to sea.

What's even more difficult is the encounter at sea, since the corruption of the imperial court sailors in the Daming Sea, there has never been a shortage of pirates to block the road and rob!

Many people who were forced to die by the imperial court's taxes and their wives were separated, or they were wanted by the government, fled to the Ming Dynasty, and became a hero in the green forest at sea.

Merchants encounter small-scale pirates, and with the help of their own recruited defenses, they can resist. When encountering forces like Zheng Zhilong in Quanzhou, he had to obediently hand over the money to buy the road.

Zheng Zhilong was edicted by the imperial court, and he did not dare to completely monopolize the maritime trade.

The encounter of the fleet ten miles away is a good show for maritime merchants to encounter pirates.

Don't look at the huge profits of maritime trade, but this money has nothing to do with the imperial court, as the successor of the imperial court, Chen Zijian empathizes with such a guy who evades taxes.

"I'll take a look, Zhang Wu, you come down."

Hearing that he encountered pirates and robbers, Chen Zijian had a trace of interest, he had few opportunities to go to sea, the navy patrolled the waters of eastern Guangdong, and the pirates who used to hide on the island became turtles in the urn.

Pirates were rampant at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, the imperial court sailors were suppressed by civilian officials and became tigers without minions.

Piracy is rampant, often going ashore to rob the people, nothing more than the government has no way to take pirates, and pirates come and go freely.

Pirates are not a good thing, and maritime merchants are not good people, maritime merchants go to sea, there is a characteristic, they are also merchants and thieves, and when they meet a maritime merchant who is smaller than their own scale, the usual practice is to eat a small maritime merchant and turn his goods into their own.

After doing something at sea, throwing the body of the killed person into the sea has become a means of killing people without seeing blood.

Therefore, when encountering a fleet at sea, the usual practice is to stay away, and the ships that dare to take the initiative to approach must approach with bad intentions, believing that those who meet good people at sea have long been gone.

The Ming merchants can't say that they are traitors, but when the Ming court falls, there are definitely businessmen who stab them.

encountered pirate robbery, Chen Zijian didn't care whether the two sides were right or wrong, anyway, in his opinion, that person was not a good person, and it didn't matter if he died.

The lookout can meet the observation of three people, Zhang Wu came down, Chen Zijian climbed up, under the point of the lookout finger, through the telescope, saw two fleets in the distance about 2,000 meters apart, were chasing.

The fleeing fleet ahead, large enough to transport cargo, with larger ships and a little slower than those chasing behind.

The chasing fleet, the ships looked a little dilapidated, the holes in the sails were not repaired, and the wind received was not much, but with the small size of the boats, the speed was a little faster.

After looking at it for a long time, Chen Zijian found that the distance between the two fleets did not seem to have changed, which was really a problem with the power of ships in this era. Ships that sail on the power of the wind can go as fast as they can go.

Pirate robbery, is a long result that can last a day, a few days.

As the target of robbery, seeing the pirates chasing after him, he didn't want to lose both people and money, so he must have tried his best to escape, otherwise he would be approached by the pirates, and the result would be unpredictable.

When pirates meet a suitable robbery target, they are also reluctant to give up easily, and it is a rare opportunity to meet a suitable target at sea, they are not a huge force like Zheng Zhilong, and they dare not approach when they encounter large-scale maritime ships.

That is, if you find prey that you can eat, you don't want to chase it.

What Chen Zijian saw was such a scene, the two fleets had been chasing for half a day, and the distance was close to a thousand meters, if there was no Chen Zijian and his fleet.

A few hours later, less than ten ships of the maritime merchant were overtaken by pirates and became prey.

Chen Zijian's fleet went north, and the other two chasing fleets went south, the sea surface was clearly visible, and the fleet that fled ahead had already found a large fleet of Chen Zijian.

Chen Zijian muttered to himself, "Hehe, it seems that you want to take advantage of the situation to escape, but Lao Tzu is a bigger pirate, you take the initiative to come over to deliver food, is it really good!" ”

When the maritime merchant saw Chen Zijian's fleet, he was undoubtedly the one who fell into the water and wanted to grasp the life-saving straw, but who was Chen Zijian?

But the thieves started their business, and along the way, they started by robbing the landlords and the gentry class, and when they saw the little fat sheep coming, they opened their blood plates and swallowed them in one gulp.

What is Chen Zijian taking so many transport ships to act for? Nothing more than the current situation.
