Chapter 86: The Encounter (I)

Two days later, the God carried Jiang Beiming and his men to return to Yulin Bay. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the dock, Sun Tianhao was pulling Zhao Zhiruo's sleeve and was reluctant to give up: "Miss Zhao, do you really want to go to Yulin Bay, are you not good here, is there something about me Sun Tianhao who can't live with girls." ”

"Sun Gongzi is serious." Zhao Zhiruo gently took Sun Tianhao's hand away, "Sun Gongzi's great kindness to the little woman, the little woman is unforgettable." It's just that although there is no worry about food and clothing in Qiongzhou Mansion, after all, there is nothing to do all day long, Xu Gongzi and Sister Cheng both said that after arriving in Yulin Bay, I can also teach and educate people, I can also be a useful person, and I can also support myself with my own skills. This is also what the little woman hopes for all her life, and I hope that Sun Gongzi can understand the little woman's hard work. ”

"Ugh." Sun Tianhao sighed, still making his last effort, "Miss Zhao, how is my Sun Tianhao to you, didn't I notice Miss Zhao's heart at all?" ”

"Let the weak water be three thousand, I will only take one scoop." After Zhao Zhiruo finished speaking, she was deeply blessed with Sun Tianhao, "Sun Gongzi, don't pass it away, we will have a date later." ”

Sun Tianhao looked at Zhao Zhiruo's back in disappointment, and muttered in his mouth: "Three thousand weak water? What weak water three thousand? ”

Zhang Hai walked over from behind and patted Sun Tianhao: "Don't look at it, I said it wasn't your cup of tea." ”

"Three thousand weak water?" Sun Tianhao hadn't woken up from the words just now, "Zhang Hai, do you know what three thousand weak water means?" ”

"What weak water is three thousand, I know how to drink three glasses."

Seeing that Zhao Zhiruo was on the boat, Sun Dalei and Jiang Beiming and other people came over to say goodbye to Sun Tianhao and them.

"Xu Lang." Before Sun Dalei could speak, Sun Tianhao asked first, "You are very knowledgeable, do you know what it means to have three thousand weak water?" ”

"Three thousand weak water?" Xu Lang looked at Sun Tianhao strangely, "Is there still the second half of the sentence, I will only take one scoop." Who told you this? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, there is the second half of the sentence." Sun Tianhao suddenly became excited, "What did Miss Zhao say just now?" ”

"Okay, Tianhao, I finally let you take it." Xu Lang punched Sun Tianhao excitedly, "The meaning of this sentence is that no matter how there are thousands of people in this world, no matter how things change in the world, she only likes you." ”

Sun Tianhao's excitement was instantly beaten by Xu Lang's punch without a trace: "Only take one scoop, is that scoop me?" It's not me. ”

The people around were confused by Sun Tianhao's mood changes, and asked one after another, "Tianhao, what's wrong with you?" Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine." Sun Tianhao hugged his fist at everyone, "Everyone, have a good trip, let the family rest assured, there are me and Zhang Hai here in Qiongzhou, and nothing will happen." Go back and get ready, and I'll send you the news of the Queen. Also, go back and bring it to Lu Lao for me. Xu Lang, Yiyi, I will take care of Jiayi when I go back, I am just this one sister. ”

"Don't worry, Tianhao." Cheng Yiyi replied, "With us at home, no one can treat Xiao Jiayi badly." ”

Jiang Beiming saw the pain in Sun Tianhao's heart, secretly pulled the corner of Cheng Yiyi's clothes, and then hugged his fist at Sun Tianhao, Zhang Hai and others: "Please leave it to you here in Qiongzhou, everyone must pay attention to safety, safety is always the first." ”

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Not to mention Sun Tianhao and the others in Qiongzhou, the God raised its sails and sailed all the way south to Yulin Bay.

Sun Dalei and Jiang Beiming stood at the bow of the boat facing the sea breeze.

"Beiming, do you think what Tianhao said about rushing to transport the golden ship is reliable?" Sun Dalei asked.

"It's hard to say. If this news is true, if there is only one gold ship, it should still be reliable. How to say that it is also three ships against one ship, and the range of the artillery alone, our 12-pounder naval gun is farther than any current type of artillery. ”

"I don't know naval warfare, you're from the navy." Sun Dalei then asked, "But I think, since we are going to rob the ship, then we can't sink it, if it sinks, won't the gold and silver sink together, then what's the strength of grabbing." ”

"You really don't understand that." Jiang Beiming pointed at Sun Dalei and said with a smile, "You don't need to sink, break his mast and rudder, and the ship will die, and you can't turn or run." At this time, you can get close to the use of scattered bombs or jump gangs, which is what boat grabbing is done in this era. ”

"Oh, I see." Sun Dalei said thoughtfully, "This time the God came out, the cannons are complete, a full ten, I have been training for so long, and I don't know what the actual combat level is, if only there was a ship to fight." ”

"I said, what do you want?" Jiang Beiming smiled, "We are walking along the coastline, and there are basically no other ships except merchant ships, what?" Want to grab a merchant ship? But that has to be touched, this era is not 400 years from now, and the sea is full of boats. ”

"That's what I said, if I don't really fight with a knife, I always feel unsure."

Before Sun Dalei could finish speaking, the bell of the lookout post on the mast rang out urgently.

"What's the matter, it's not time to eat yet, why is the bell ringing again?" Sun Dalei asked puzzled.

"You know how to eat." Jiang Beiming smiled, "But you are really a crow's mouth, and you have enemy feelings." ”

"Hostile?" Sun Dalei looked around nervously, "Where is it?" Why didn't I see a ship? I don't think you're very nervous when there's an enemy. ”

"Hahahaha." Jiang Beiming laughed a few times, "You, my chairman, it seems that you really can't do the navy." You look at the sky and the sea now, how good the view is. Look at the height of the lookout post, and our lookout post is already equipped with our own production of monoculars. These factors add up, even if we find the enemy ship now, we pursue it at full speed, and when we get to the distance within the reach of the artillery, it is impossible to do it without 1 or 2 hours, so there is no need to rush at all, it is useless to hurry. This is still our God, which has a speed of 15 knots. If the warships of this era were really changed, sometimes it would take days from the time the enemy ship was discovered to the time when the war began. ”

Jiang Beiming was explaining some of the situations of the naval battle in the era of sail warships to Sun Dalei, and Wang Zhaoxing led a few people to the bow of the ship.

"Captain Wang, what's the situation?" Waiting for Wang Zhaoxing to put down the monocular in his hand, Jiang Beiming stepped forward and asked.

Wang Zhaoxing once again raised his binoculars and stared at the sea in front of him, and answered Jiang Beiming's question in his mouth: "At one o'clock in front of the bow, I found two ships, heading due north, that is, coming towards us." The front one is a Damingfu ship, not small, about 400 materials, the draft is very deep, it looks like a fully loaded merchant ship, the speed is 2 to 3 knots. The back one is not clear yet, only a black dot is seen, but it looks like it should be chasing the Da Mingfu ship, it should be a pirate ship. ”

"How far away from us? How long will it take to get up? Jiang Beiming then asked.

"Now the wind is in our favour, we're upwind, if we go up at full speed, up to 40 minutes. But," Wang Zhaoxing said this, and suddenly smiled evilly, "It just so happens that the people from your two committees are here, let me ask for instructions first, if you go up, kill one or two, and the goods on the Da Mingfu ship should be worth some silver." ”

Jiang Beiming and Sun Dalei glanced at each other, and Jiang Beiming preemptively said: "Lean on first and then say, whether to fight or not, which ship to hit, and then make a judgment after finding out the situation." ”

Several people were talking, and Xu Lang and others also got out of the cabin.

"What's wrong, what's the situation, why is the bell ringing?" Xu Lang saw Wang Zhaoxing and asked head-on.

"When the enemy situation is discovered, all the irrelevant personnel will return to the cabin, and they will open fire in a while. Naval warfare is not a land battle, don't come out if you have nothing to do, and don't run around. After Wang Zhaoxing finished speaking, he turned around and gave an order to a few people behind him, "Send a battle alarm, all personnel, all in place, port guns and starboard guns all at an elevation angle of 10 degrees, load solid shells, turn the rudder 15 degrees, and move forward at full speed with full sail." ”

Sun Dalei turned around and wanted to follow Xu Lang and the others back to the cabin, but was pulled by Jiang Beiming: "Chairman, don't worry. Wait a while, get up, which one to hit, which one not to hit, and then you will go back after making a decision. ”

Sun Dalei stood helplessly, pointed at Jiang Beiming and scolded with a smile: "You, you will be bad." ”

The God drove quickly towards the two ships in front of it at a speed of nearly 15 knots.

20 minutes later, Wang Zhaoxing put down the binoculars, turned his head to Jiang Beiming and Sun Dalei and said: "The situation is a bit troublesome, the ship chasing the Daming Fu ship behind is a Western ship with a Dutch flag. And the tonnage is not small, about 300 tons, which is larger than ours. ”

"Dutch ship?" Jiang Beiming and Sun Dalei were both stunned at the same time, "How can there be a Dutch ship in this place?" Didn't the Dutch go to Taiwan, this is Hainan Island? ”

Wang Zhaoxing stretched out his hands with a smile: "Two big leaders, how do I know how there can be a Dutch ship here." Now you tell me to fight or not to fight, which ship to fight? ”

All the more than a dozen traversers on the ship gathered at the bow of the ship to start a war with the Dutch, which involved too much, Jiang Beiming and Sun Dalei really couldn't make up their minds, so they called all the traversers to the bow to discuss. In addition to Captain Wang Zhaoxing, there were also some officers and men of the Navy who had been transferred from the original No. 777, including five or six people including Chief Officer Zhao Dequan and Gun Commander Xin Jiaju. At the same time, Wang Zhaoxing ordered the God to lower part of the sails and slow down, maintain a speed of 8 knots, and slowly approach it.

"Everyone, everyone." Wang Zhaoxing watched this small meeting go on for 10 minutes without coming up with a result, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "There will be more than 20 minutes before it will be within the range of the cannon. ”

"I think it's better to vote." Xia Yang suggested, "Anyway, voting is still the best way to decide. ”

"No vote, we fight the Dutch ship." Xu Lang, who had been standing at the bow of the boat, put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head and said calmly, "Sink the Dutch ship and save the Daming ship." ”

"Why?" Xia Yang was the first to shout, "Xu Lang, you have to know that once you start a war with the Dutch。。。。。。 ”

"There's no why." Xu Lang interrupted Xia Yang's words, and at the same time handed over the binoculars, "Just look at the bow of the Da Ming Fu ship." ”

Xia Yang took the telescope and looked at it for a while, and said silently: "I agree to Xu Lang's proposal to sink the Dutch ship and save the ship of the Ming Dynasty." ”

At this moment, all the traversers were confused, "What's the matter, what did you see?" I'll see, I'll see. Everyone scrambled to grab the telescope in Xia Yang's hand.

"Because there's a woman on that boat." Xu Lang explained to the travelers who did not grab the telescope, "There are not only women, but also that woman is holding a child, and if we don't save them, then they will die at the bottom of the sea." I'm a teacher, and I can't allow any child to die like this in front of me. It's our responsibility to save them. Xu Lang said and unconsciously brought out the so-called sense of responsibility in modern society.

"Oh no, the woman holding the baby looks like she's going to jump into the sea." Cheng Yiyi, who was holding the binoculars, suddenly exclaimed, "What to do, what to do, you guys quickly find a way to save them." ”

"They must have treated us like Western ships." Jiang Beiming shouted at Wang Zhaoxing, "Wang Zhaoxing, I order, raise the Mingzi flag, lean over at full speed, and sink the Dutch ship." ”
