Two years ago, the King of Qin was only Nan'anhou, and his power was very small, but at that time, he cooperated with Wang Zhi in Beijing to kill the big staff, I am afraid that the old handsome at that time had some thoughts to wait and see, after all, Nan'anhou was already running the Eastern Domain at that time, and also had a weak sailor.

If Wang Zhi wanted to ask the ministry to join Nan'anhou two years ago, I am afraid that even Deng Wenjun, who has always had an indifferent personality, would not be happy, the strength of the two sides is far apart, and it is not a long-term way to attach the weak to the strong.

And now, the situation is completely different, not only Deng Wenjun is happy, but even Lu Sihai, who has always been tough and conceited, is also extremely happy.

"I just didn't see King Qin, I felt a little uncomfortable......" Deng Wenjun complained a little, King Qin's excuse was busy, in fact, it was a matter of refusing the sailor to go north, and the two of Deng and Lu, who asked for it, actually couldn't bear to see the soldiers of the Great Wei and Donghu fighting desperately in the ice and snow in the north, because the grain route did not continue, the cost caused by transportation difficulties increased, so that they suddenly fought a decisive battle with a strong enemy.

Now it was too late, the day before yesterday, the people from the shogunate of the king of Qin sent a message that according to the latest copy of the palace, the army had left Ningyuan and began to move to the Jinzhou area.

Everyone knows that the side of Jinzhou and Yushui is an important place that the Donghu people will never give up, before the Great Wei forbidden army slowly moved forward with the method of water milling, digging a long base to wait for the enemy to ride, and the main force was stationed in the Ningyuan area, only to fight the news with the Donghu people with fine horses, and the main force of the army was waiting for the array, and the Donghu people could not shrink out, like a wild wolf on the grassland, lurking carefully, waiting for the opportunity.

As soon as the army came out, the decisive battle was imminent, and when the news came, I was afraid that a big war had broken out.

Lu Sihai and Deng Wenjun had no intention of staying any longer, and decided to return north.

The imperial court owes them something, but it does not mean that the soldiers of the forbidden army in the north are indebted, and the cooperation of half a year has made both sides feel connected by blood.

"Not necessarily." Lu Sihai looked behind him, but his figure was shocked, and he couldn't help but say, "Maybe His Royal Highness King Qin is behind us." ”

"Form 1, Form 2, Form 7, Form 11, Form 13, Form 14, Form 15, Form 16......" Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai were still on the surface of the Penghu Sea, the sails had just been raised, ready to turn back to the northern sea, at this moment, from the Penghu port, more than a dozen large Fuchuan warships of three or four hundred tons, or even about five hundred tons, were dragged out of the port by small boats and lined up on the sea.

Lu and Deng leaned on the side of the boat, stunned for a while.

"That's His Royal Highness King Qin."

No. 1 is a captured pirate ship, after the repair, fifteen cannons were added, all of which are heavy cannons that can shoot twenty catties of cannonballs, this kind of heavy artillery is now only owned by the Qin Wangfu military and naval division of the Great Wei in the whole world, the tall hull and four masts of different heights, plus soft sails, this is a rather conspicuous early plywood ship, weighing about five hundred tons, it was probably the flagship of Yan Qi or Liu Dan, most of their plywood ships were given by Pu Xingfeng, four masts, oval hull, the bow is very warped, and the hull is very long, In addition to the upper floor, gun emplacements can also be placed on the lower floor. Due to the unreasonable design of the early cabins, the deck and the second-layer plywood combined could not hold twenty guns, and it was not until a few decades later that there would be three-story or even four-story battleships, and at the same time, the placement of gun emplacements was improved, and it was normal for a battleship to put 100 guns.

It is very likely that the battleship in front of him is made by the Netherlands, Xu Zi first obtained this ship and then ordered it to be repaired, and at the same time hired dozens of sailors Tessie and Lan Fang, who have considerable experience in controlling this kind of plywood ship......

"Looks like the Dutchmen are on board." Deng Wenjun was thoughtful, and in just a moment, he had almost thought about the situation in front of him, and said with a smile: "Zhong No. 1 has not been opened in the port before, and this time it seems that there is an opportunity to go to sea to try the depth." ”

Seven or eight ships were serious warships, with two or three floors of bow and stern towers, on which were stationed armoured men with swords, weapons and armor glittering in the light, and on the decks of the ships were trebuchets and crossbows, or newly cast guns...... Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai both knew that the Artillery Casting Bureau was adding artillery round and night, but it was all done

I'm afraid it will take several months to replace the train.

Deng Wenjun sighed again: "The naval division of the government army will surpass us this summer, well, I mean the number of warships." If it is compared with the Nanyang Naval Division of that year, it is still far behind, but counting the power of artillery, I am afraid that it has more than half of the combat power of the Nanyang Naval Division of that year. As for us, we have been left far behind. ”

After three or four months, at least 10 medium- and large-sized warships of more than 300 to 400 tons will be launched one after another, and the main ships of the naval division of the government army, that is, warships of more than 300 tons, will reach about 60, the remaining small warships of more than 100 to 200 tons will have more than 150 small warships, and the number of capital ships and auxiliary warships will reach more than 200, and the officers and men of the naval division of the government army will be organized into more than 30,000 people in more than 10 armies, and the strength of this naval division has reached about 30 percent of the scale of the Nanyang naval division of the Great Wei Dynasty at its peak.

At the peak of the Nanyang Naval Division, there were more than 10 thousand-ton warships, more than 100 battleships of several hundred tons, more than 1,000 small warships, and more than 100,000 soldiers.

King Qin tossed for so long, plus many captured warships, in fact, there are still less than 100 tons of small ships in the fleet have been retained, even if there are only more than 200 warships, in this era has been like a water hegemon, recalling the time when the Great Wei was extremely prosperous, it is really emotional.

"How can this man not be like the ancients?" Lu Sihai looked impassioned, crossed his waist and said: "We also have more than 30 large ships, and more than 100 small and medium-sized boats, how about doing a place with the government army and sailors?" ”

Deng Wenjun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I have to go back and discuss this matter with Lao Shuai, we also have brothers who want to stay in the north, and it is impossible for them all to go south......"

"But they said it!" Lu Sihai said: "When they need to come over, the benefits are naturally great, if people defeat Pu Xingfeng, let's come again, it's like you don't come when you are short of money to do business, and you want to come to buy shares when you make money, so can it be the same?" ”

This is quite reasonable, and it also makes Lu Wenjun, who has always been calm and calm, agree with it and nod frequently.

At this time, there was a cannon sound on the sea, it should be a salute that only puts gunpowder and no shells, and after a few salutes, the No. 1 raised a flag representing the King of Qin, Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai also looked at each other and smiled at each other in the cheers like a tide.

King Qin did not return to Penghu before, did not go to the Eastern Domain, but when the two people returned, they were on the ship, although they had not talked face-to-face, the intentions of the two sides were also well known to each other, in fact, seeing or not seeing, it was almost the same.

From a distance, there seemed to be a tall man in a military robe standing at the bow of the ship, waving to many sailors and soldiers of the government army.

Then there was a faint shout, there should be a lot of people passing on King Qin's words to many soldiers, and then there was a thunderous shout.

The king of Qin was very popular with the army, and he knew the clues just from the current situation.

Recalling the situation in the north, the two former pirate leaders also sincerely sighed, when the soldiers of the forbidden army were fighting, Wang Zhi's sailors worked hard to transfer, and people did not hesitate to sacrifice, nothing more than to serve the Great Wei and the Son of Heaven, but to see such a scene in front of them is almost a fool's dream.

Even the harshness and abuse of the people, the officials and generals regarded the people and the Xiang army as ants, and they were also wary and suspicious of Wang Zhisuo's subordinates who volunteered to help, and that kind of suspicion, coldness, and wary mentality and outward attitude really made men like Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai sentimental.

As for embezzling military salaries, withholding military rations, and treating the soldiers as slaves, the officials turned a blind eye to the corpses of the men who died on the side of the road, and they were beaten with sticks and reprimanded, and when the rain was pouring down, the people who were soaked and cold kept getting sick, and it was common for the feverish to fall on the side of the road, and it was common for them to hurry with their wet clothes and hungry stomachs...... All this made Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai deeply suspicious of Great Wei.

Fighting against the Donghu is to make the Donghu people not invade again

Great Wei made the people live a better life, without the worry of being killed and looted by the enemy. But this group of officials and generals, in the name of the Son of Heaven, also has the acquiescence of the imperial court, like slaves, pigs and dogs, like slaves and dogs, and then recall that the official style of the Great Wei has been corrupted to the point of openly destroying the place and not hesitating to reap benefits for himself, Wang Yue is a significant example, such a dynasty, what about the death of the country?

It's just that no matter what, the Great Wei is always Huaxia, not to mention the defense of Huayi, but the Donghu people are typical tribal slavery, except for the Great Khan, Na Yan, the rest are slaves, the upper and lower hierarchies are so strict that there is no law at all, the property of the slaves, including the disposal of their lives, is between the thoughts of the superiors, that kind of cruelty and violence, and it is not comparable to the side of the Great Wei, compared with the two sides, Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai and others of course still hope that the Great Wei can win.

At this time, seeing that King Qin was so loved, Deng and Lu were also emotional, but at this moment, the two of them saw His Royal Highness King Qin on the tail tower, and they were waving to their side.

"I've seen King Qin."

"Meet King Qin."

The two knew that King Qin must not be able to hear or see clearly, after all, they were already separated by several miles, and they could only barely see the movements of the human form, but Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai both used the most serious movements and bowed respectfully to the ships in the distance.

At this moment, the two of them already seemed to regard His Royal Highness King Qin as the master, and Deng Wenjun even had tears in his eyes.

"After I return, I will be the old commander and go south with the elite brothers and warships as soon as possible." Deng Wenjun looked at the sea, except for the No. 1 Zhong, more ships were heading south amid the sound of the cannons, and it didn't look like an exercise.

"I think it's going to Luzon." Lu Sihai's eyes showed excitement, his hands slapped heavily on the side of the boat, and said with a smile: "It's time to clean up Liu Dan's kid." ”

After more than 10 large ships set off, more than 20 small and medium-sized ships followed the large ships one after another, and there were more than 40 large ships and about 7,000 or 8,000 sailors and soldiers who accompanied the warships on the expedition.

Each large ship was tied to the side of a small boat with four or eight oars, and if there was an enemy at sea, the sailors could not only face the enemy on the large ship, but also put down the small boat and attack with small boat fire.

For Lu Sihai and Deng Wenjun, whether it is the group attack tactics of ants biting elephants, or the group attack tactics of jumping gangs, broadsides, or long-range attacks, or fire attack tactics, the former pirate leader is completely clear about these tactics, and he is familiar with them, and he knows the bottom at a glance.

Prior to this, Liu Dan's remnants were cowering in Luzon, and the government army and navy division did not take care of him for a while and a half, and now the overall situation of Fujian Road has been decided, and the strength of the government army and navy division has also expanded sharply, and the growth of personnel and ships alone is not enough, and the sailors and soldiers have been practicing at sea and exterminating sporadic pirates, but it is obviously not possible without the tempering of a real war, and it is timely to annihilate Liu Dan's department.

The goal of this expedition was not only to wipe out the remnants of the two Luzon pirates, but even to covet the control of Luzon, to control the islands in the South China Sea and build simple anchorages and half-eternal garrison points between the islands.

There are so many benefits, if it weren't for the fact that he had to wait for the middle eleventh class battleship to be launched, Xu Zixian would have ordered the sailors to march south long ago, instead of waiting until now.

"The South China Sea is going to be turbulent." Lu Sihai's face has an obvious look of impatience, for a while, he seems to have forgotten even the major events in the north, on the north and south, on the one hand, there is an impassioned heroic man's tragedy, a miserable battle in the ice and snow, on the other hand, it is like the rising sun, the light is soaring, the latter is competing for power on the sea, more suitable for these famous pirates who have followed Wang Zhi for many years, imagine if you are in the fleet at this time, go to fight Liu Dan's lair, although that guy is not as easy to kill as Yan Qi, but the people Yan Qi tortures and kills, how can there be no part of Liu Dan?

"I can't wait to be on the battleship, in the fleet going south." Deng Wenjun also has the same thoughts, the same agitation, and it is difficult to control himself.

"I'll go south as soon as possible."

Lu Sihai let out a long roar, turned around and ordered: "Turn the rudder and raise the sails, set sail and return to the north!" ”
