Chapter 1012 Decadence 2

To the west of the island of Ongsan, on the surface of the sea where fierce battles were raging, there were already scattered all kinds of broken ship planks and human heads struggling in the water. www.biquge.info The erection wings of the sharks swimming on the surface of the sea and the red and pale blood of the large masses represent how satisfied these fierce water overlords are.

The rumbling sound of cannon fire alternated one after another, on the warships that were staggered or side-by-side, or crashed into each other.

Between the rolling and undulating waves, there are occasional swells of large waves, or large swaths of foam and whirlpools.

And the time goes back half a day.

It is located between the large island of Weng Son and the second largest island of Daishan, between the traditional sea route.

On the bow of the naval warship named Wu Hai, Lin Longbiao, the commander of the navy who commanded the nearby five warships, was also nervously looking at Mazhi Port, which had begun to emerge.

Lin Longbiao is the backbone of the Minyue family, another big mountain in the Dongkaido sailor family, and a member of the Qingyuan Lin clan;

Because Fujian is known as "seven mountains and two rivers and half of the fields, and half of the land is on the seaside", there is very little arable land along the coast and is full of salt and brine tidal flats, so the tradition of the local people digging food from the sea to find a living, and even the history of going to the sea to trade to make a living, can be traced back to the ancient Qin and Han dynasties;

It is precisely because of the local coastal people's fierce customs and the traditional fashion of being brave in the sea that Fujian and the Longjiang and Leizhou along the Wuling coast in the south have become one of the best places to recruit soldiers from the Nanhai Metropolitan Government and even later the Daliang Naval Division.

Although it is not as good as the sailors, the first major general family from the Hainan department, the so-called Wan'anzhou Feng clan was brought down by the number one Haikou force in the South China Sea during the Kaiyuan period; However, relying on the scale and numerical advantages accumulated in the middle and lower classes, relying on the successive flooding of the Min people, it is also one of the most important existences in the naval division system of Tokaido.

Therefore, he is also one of the generals cultivated by the contemporary Qingyuan Lin clan in the East China Sea; But being involved in this kind of thing, on the one hand, is the result of the Lin clan and other mountains of the Minyue system, under the long-term penetration and management, taking the initiative to get closer to the Donghai Society; On the other hand, it is also a matter of personal needs.

The main force of the East China Sea Division of the Kingdom Dynasty was greatly damaged in the two Northern Expeditions, which also affected their local naval divisions; In order to cotogether the resources and inputs to support the north, these local sailors, who could not be used for the time being, were increasingly strapped for other resources such as military spending and materials.

In addition, after the internal routine is passed through the layers of hands, he can share the expenses on the specific ship, and it is not enough to even drive the ship out for training a few times a month, although he naturally has different benefits and income as a general on the ship, and as the Qingyuan Lin family, he also gives subsidies, so that he has the opportunity to win the hearts of the people on the ship.

However, as the Dongjiang Naval Division stationed between eastern Zhejiang and central Fujian, it is still inevitable to move towards a certain trend of decline and abandonment on the whole, if it were not for the tacit understanding and agreement reached by the high-level of the naval division in recent years, and attracted foreign aid; Most of the officers and men could only hide in the vicinity of the harbors of a few garrisons, and before the ships were completely in disrepair and decay, they were left to do some private work to make ends meet.

And over the years, Lin Longbiao has several mansions and concubines on the shore, in order to maintain a prosperous and decent daily life in various places, he must have enough income, and what the Donghai Society can provide him is undoubtedly the best choice. The price paid is nothing more than public and private use, escorting it and attacking potential competitors.

The system of the naval division is different from that of the land division, the personnel of a ship itself are the most basic units and structures, the captain and the marquis of the ship are the dominant figures who act arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and they are also the most basic officer class, while the lieutenant, the chief of the main and auxiliary guns, the chief of the naval fire, the medical worker, the head of the craftsman, the kitchen manager, the warehouse clerk and other professionals and technical units constitute the basic non-commissioned officer class;

Then three to five ships are used as a standard, and more than three standards are a sentry, and a number of sentry points form a town waterproof division; If it is the key point of the famous city and the city, it will be divided into the left and right towns, the left and right compartments, and the attached naval corps and the garrison battalion on the shore, and then under the jurisdiction of a naval commander, commander and even commander of the command.

Therefore, at most, a naval division can reach the scale of hundreds to hundreds, thirty or fifty thousand horses on the war auxiliary sea ships.

Under the jurisdiction of Lin Longbiao, this standard is also known as the flag head mark; It is composed of one large, four small and five warships in the best condition, and it is also the basic unit of the coastal cruising fleet in peacetime, and because of the support and investment of the big financiers, it does not lack experience in going to sea and crusade operations.

Under the circumstance that the main force of the East China Sea Division of the Kingdom has been seriously injured and has no time to recover, their local naval divisions are undoubtedly the most deterrent to the sea and few opponents.

In addition, after the failure of the first Northern Expedition and the abolition of the Southeast Division, the control and control of these Southeast Road Water Divisions were also greatly weakened with the amount of money that could be invested, and the upper echelons of these local Water Divisions also began to have all kinds of different ideas and thoughts.

However, compared with the other roads under the same southeast road, the Fuzhou Houguan Naval Division, which was besieged by the Great Cloud Sect, was either a Wenma Naval Division with a limited scale in Zhangzhou, or a Jinghai Division that was further north to Nantong Prefecture, Jiangdong Province, and had already existed in name only; The Dongjiang Sailor sits in Mingzhou, the land of fish and rice, and even the rich and mature benefits of the generation in eastern Zhejiang, and has the support and funding from the Donghai Society, which is undoubtedly the best part of life.

Even while other local sailors have begun to privately sell ships and materials to maintain themselves on the grounds of wave damage and shipwrecks, Dongjiang sailors have also received and supplemented new ships customized by the dynasty for the first time, which can be described as the only scenery of scorpions climbing.

Then it encountered a wide range of money changes in the two Zhejiang provinces and the subsequent turbulent civil unrest, especially the current situation where the Dayun Sect thieves went out of Fujian and ravaged the two Zhejiang; Although relying on the existence of the sailors to temporarily protect the coastal states and counties, the help and income from the local government are basically gone, and they have to rely more on the resources provided by the Donghai Society.

However, there was no consensus within the Dongjiang Naval Division on the requirements for this troop dispatch, and some veterans even insisted that they could not take risks; But it couldn't stand this time, and in addition to anchoring and resettlement fees, it also offered a price that most people couldn't refuse.

As a result, the generals of the sailors, including Lin Longbiao, joined forces to suppress and imprison a few opposition voices, and when there were still no personnel returning and some of the ships were not fully organized, they still pulled out most of the forces of this sailor.

Therefore, this time they hurried over from the station in Xiangshan Bay, and in addition to recapturing the large island of Weng Shan occupied by the "rebel party", they were also responsible for blocking the east and west parts of the island to ensure that not a single boat or person could be dispersed by sea.

"Encountering the enemy."

"There's an ambush."

On the lookout bucket at the top of the sail cable, there was a heart-rending shout, interrupting Lin Longbiao's contemplation.

"It's from the back of the island in the northwest, and it's bypassed."

Then the heavy and distant alarm bell rang on the ship, and in an instant all the people who were on the deck were shaken, and all kinds of shouts pierced the wind and waves, and overwhelmed the noise of the sea.

"Lowering the sail three times. Slow down"

"Twist the steering wheel. Redirect"

"Led by the ship's beacon, follow up the array."

"Give me the lead and get the upper hand."

Lin Longbiao climbed onto a rope and flew up to stand on the tail tower and shouted.

"Panic something. We are the Dongjiang sailors of the dynasty. ”

"If you can beat them once, you can defeat them a second time."

"It's just some big armed ships."

Lin Longbiao said loudly back and forth. More exclamations and shouts rippled out of his ship.

Because as the distance closes, these new enemies make them feel a sense of déjà vu, the sails that are lined up like clouds, the bow that is high into the tip of the sword, and the oval and slender hull, in the mirrors looking at each other, are almost the same sailor ship type, but the fish-shaped swallowtail flag on the top is different.

"Exocet ... It turned out to be the Flying Fish warship of the naval division of the National Dynasty."

"Could it be that the imperial court sent someone to crusade against us?"

"What a good thing is this."

All of a sudden, the fleet of sailors, who were adjusting their formation and preparing to launch a column, could not help but feel a little confused and hesitant, and some of the ships that were moving forward even stopped and lagged behind, and were scattered together with other warships that followed up.

After all, although most of them, the sailors, have accepted the purchase and support of the Donghai Society, and have become accustomed to being called to subordinate roles under the Donghai Society, among most of the low-level sailors, shipwrights, and officers and soldiers, they still maintain the basic understanding that they are the sailors of the national dynasty.

Therefore, in order to save trouble and costs, even if they do some shady private work, they still act under the banner and name of anti-smuggling and theft, but once they face other naval divisions that seem to belong to the same official army, they will inevitably be a little confused and at a loss.

And on the sea a few miles away, on the flagship of the Huaizhen Naval Division, the 3,000-material shipwreck-class Exocet warship "Surge",

"Sure enough, it's the gang of the two Zhejiang water divisions,"

At the same time, Zong Rulin, who was the chief general of the North Road Water Division, was also observing the enemy on the opposite side with a high-powered monocular long mirror, and let out a sneer.

"Even if you're so far away, you can smell the copper stench on them."

"But it's also a bad fate."

As soon as he thought that one day, he could only be chased away, and he could fight against the famous sailor of the country, and he couldn't help but throb with a certain blood and reverence that he had been silent for a long time

And the marquis of the navy beside him, according to the observations on the bucket, while recording the flag, while reporting one by one.

"In the four-point direction, there are two warships of the Ship-class, about 2,000 materials and 3,000 materials, and four Fighter-class ships, which are less than 2,000 materials according to the shape comparison."

"At six o'clock, there are three fighter-class ships and eight Seafalcon clippers, about a thousand materials."

"There are other suspected armed ships in the rear, observing the sail cable and ship style, which are two kinds of general-purpose sea vessels, Cantonese and Fu.

"For the time being, I haven't seen more than 5,000 materials, a huge ship of the building ship class."

Hearing this, Zong Ze didn't know whether to be disappointed or breathed a sigh of relief, since there were no giant ships of the Lou ship class, it meant that these opponents were just second-water divisions stationed in patrol places, not the few ocean-going fleets and large ship groups of the national dynasty that could cross seas and continents.

Since the Battle of the Yellow Water, he led the northern route to form a mixed ship regiment, together with the captured ships and prisoners, continued to carry out deterrent cruises and follow-up searches in various ports along the coast of Silla.

For he was authorized to order the owners of these coastal ports to surrender hostages and servitude of sufficient status, as well as a corresponding proportion of goods, and to set a share of the annual contributions, on the pretext of checking the pirates of the Japanese state; In order to further maximize the benefits and digestion of the results and influence of this naval war.

However, a military order from Huaidi made him immediately abandon his follow-up plans, and selected the best ships in the group, and traveled south day and night along the way; After arriving at Banqiao Port in Jiaozhou, he docked for a while, replenished manpower and baggage and ordnance on the spot, but did not even catch up with the repair of the ship, so he continued to sail and continue to go south.

Therefore, now these are the largest and best warships in the Zongze Ship Regiment that has been ordered to quickly go south; It is based on the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, the more than a dozen national and dynastic standard sailor warships that were detained as the core, plus the new flying fish ships with small and medium-sized loads built in Huaidi as the wing protection; It is also the existing essence and main force of the Huaidong Water Division, so he is not allowed to slack off and miss the slightest.

A few days ago, they arrived in the waters near the island of Weng Son first, but they did not enter the port to anchor to prevent leakage of news, but used the offshore fast boat to make simple contact and replenishment, and then just cruised on the sea near the channel and waited;

With its many islands and twisting coasts, it is a fjord with little waves, and it is not far from the main shipping routes, so it is a good place to stay and wait for a flight.

Of course, because they came from afar, the water and material supplies on the ship could continue to last for ten days and half a month, and they had to return to Haizhou nearby to replenish supplies, or venture to appear and dock in Yizhou.

Fortunately, he suppressed the restlessness and restlessness of his subordinates and waited patiently, and finally there was a result, it seemed that under some kind of profit and wisdom or a dog jumping off the wall, a big fish finally had to take the bait. The other party seemed to be in a more anxious hurry than he had estimated, which gave him more time to organize and arrange.

And his confidence comes from the fact that most of the ship's refitting has been completed, all kinds of large and small ship cannons made by Huai, as well as the gun army that can easily suppress the melee combat of the jumping gang, and after the training of target shooting in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, it can be regarded as a considerable degree of run-in and maturity.

Because he came directly from the north of Huang Shuiyang, in order to deter foreign feudal regions and pull tiger skins to make big flags, the flags and logos of the national navy division that were used privately did not have time to be replaced, but they did not think that it had some unexpected effect.

The other party actually showed signs and signs of chaos without a fight, although he didn't know if this was a trap or other tactics to lure the enemy into the depths, but he naturally would not easily let go of such an opportunity.

"Trumpets. Light ship clipper protruding from the wings"

"Take the middle line as the base point and make an attack at the angle."

"Pin them down and disrupt them, and leave them to be destroyed when the center line approaches." (To be continued.) )
