Hearing this, Liu Liting's heart felt as if she had been struck by lightning, what she was most afraid of was such a situation, if the Heavenly Imperial Court and the Heavenly Army arrived, it must be hundreds of thousands of troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Such a huge army must only crush Dongfang Port, and at that time, these people can only defeat the sea? They had just had a grudge with the Medeno people, and although Xiang Nan helped Champa Port defeat the barbarians, Champa Port was only a princess's territory, and Annan could take it back at any time. Annan surrendered to the Wu Dynasty at this time, so naturally he would not oppose the Wu Dynasty for the sake of the Yan people.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered Sun Wenbin, who was full of sunny and smiling faces like a big boy, and suddenly seemed to see with her own eyes hundreds of thousands of Wu Dynasty troops crashing into the city wall of Dongfang Port like a devastating and decaying state, hundreds of Dongfang Port soldiers' corpses were scattered all over the field, and the people could only walk along the perverted trestle bridge to the mountain-like iron ship, and behind them was the burning Dongfang Port City.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of something behind her father's head, and couldn't help but straighten her body up a little, only to see that it turned out to be a new New Year's painting behind her father, which was covered by Liu Mingyuan's head just now and didn't see it, but she saw it a little now.

But it was also in the light of this calcium carbide fire that she suddenly remembered Sun Wenbin's mysterious talk that made her think about why she always saw the mast first and then the hull when returning to the ship. Thinking of this, her mouth immediately turned into an "O" shape, could it be that the sea level is concave downward? Suddenly, she felt as if the earth that Sun Wenbin had said before might be the land under her feet, was it like a ball as he said?

============================= divider =============================

Early the next morning, the fleet on the radar screen that Gu Fulin had been staring at finally arrived outside the port of Dongfang Port, and Du Yande was invited to sail directly on the Chunxiao training ship to meet the fleet outside the port.

On the flagship of the fleet, the sailors in tattered clothes looked nervously at the ships coming in the direction of the harbor, and they could all see that this was a lucky ship, but it was completely different from the familiar lucky boat, and the biggest difference between this lucky ship and ordinary lucky ships was that it used soft sails instead of the hard sails made of reed mats like those on the lucky boats, which was clearly shown by the windblown sails at this time.

Xu Wei also saw the soft sail, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, the soft sail is basically a characteristic of the Medeno and Yaning people, and generally only they will use the soft sail as power. However, most of the Wu Dynasty shipowners on the offshore surface prefer hard sails because of their strong forces and fast speed. The big iron ship he saw last night could gallop at full speed at full speed without sails and oars, but what he saw today was a lucky boat with soft sails, and he couldn't help but become more and more curious, what are these Chinese maritime merchants doing? Is changing boats still addictive?

At this moment, Xu Wei looked west in the direction of the sun, and as far as his eyes could see, he caught a glimpse of a huge iron ship floating like a mountain in the harbor. He was stunned at the sight of this huge iron ship, and the sailors who were looking at the harbor with him also spotted the steel giant ship almost at the same time, and they all let out a cry of surprise.

The huge iron ship stood there as if it had appeared out of thin air through the gap between the sea and the mainland, and Xu Wei suddenly remembered the iron clipper he had boarded last night, which was only one-fifth the length of this ship. If it is said to be high, the city wall of General Zheng's center and left is probably not so high. Such a steel giant, if it appeared in a naval battle, was simply invincible, and the sailors could not climb this freeboard, which was higher than the city wall, and the Chinese maritime merchants only had to fire downward on the bulwark. In addition, the entire giant ship looks like it is made of steel, and ordinary artillery, whether it is a tiger squat cannon or a Shenwei general cannon, I am afraid that it will not be able to penetrate such a steel shipboard. There are no sails or oars on the steel giant ship and last night's iron clipper, Xu Wei is too lazy to think about it now, these must be the secrets of Chinese maritime merchants, and he can't think of it.

There are many Chinese in white clothes running on the Fu boat with soft sails now, but a little closer inspection can show that the clothes they wear are of different materials, some wear big hats, and the white clothes they wear are obviously very well made. But the other clothes with keg-like hats were obviously much worse in material, but they were far better than the clothes worn by the sailors on his own ship, which were not visible from the original color at all, at least they were wearing the same color and the same standard, and they looked much more powerful than his own. He just felt strange, the people of the Chinese coast guard who he saw last night were also wearing white clothes, white clothes were all fierce clothes, could it be that these Chinese went to which big official in the court? But when I saw the sailors in these white clothes, there was no sadness on their faces, and most of them were still talking and laughing with their own people, and they didn't look like it at all.

A familiar figure soon appeared on the side of the ship in Xu Wei's field of vision, it was Du Yande, who blocked himself in a dead alley in Mingzhou City at that time, and Du Yande waved at him with a smile at this time.

When the two boats approached, the sailors on Xu Wei's boat lowered the planks and connected the two boats. Du Yande looked down at the black plank, and he didn't know how many years it had been used at sea, and he didn't know what it was black, and he didn't know whether it was strong or not. You must know that although he was a soldier, he didn't know how to swim at all, and if he fell into the sea in this case, he was afraid that he would be able to touch the bottom of the sea directly.

Seeing Du Yande's hesitant expression, Xu Wei and the others couldn't help but laugh secretly, this group of Chinese maritime merchants who seem to have hands and eyes in the sky still can't water. A sense of pride arose in Xu Wei's heart, and he immediately walked over from the board with his head held high.

Originally, non-senatorial naval soldiers or senators were not allowed to board the naval ships at will, but there were no special black technology weapons on this ship, nor were there any important and dangerous facilities, and the sailors did not stop these people from boarding the ship, but they obviously took a few steps back, trying to distance themselves from these outsiders.

Xu Wei obviously felt this stiffness, and before he could ask a question, Du Yande walked up and made a gesture at him, "It turned out to be Mr. Xu!" Mr. Xu came all the way from Fujian and worked hard along the way! ”

"No hard work, no hard work!" Xu Wei didn't even think about it and hurriedly replied, "Xu someone brought a fleet to this Oriental Port to buy samples, almost all Chinese seafood is a strange goods, reselling it once is a big profit, where can anyone be too hard to make money like this?" ”

The two burst into laughter. At this time, the naval sailors began to get on the ship to check the materials carried on the ship, you must know that Zheng Zhilong's power is a pirate, even if he is recruited now, most of his subordinates are pirates, if they suddenly don't open their eyes, they decide to rob Dongfang Port once, although their strength will not pose any threat to Dongfang Port, but if they sink another ship into the harbor, there will not be so many empty oil barrels to salvage. Now the empty drums have been removed and are being cleaned and maintained with fresh water to avoid damage from seawater.

"What are you doing here?" Some sailors immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with the actions of the naval soldiers inspecting the ship, "This is the ship of the Zheng family in Anping, what qualifications do you have to come to inspect the cargo?" As he spoke, the water pointed to the windblown Lingqi on the boat and said, "Do you know this flag?" This is the Zheng family's order flag, if you want to buy it, it is two thousand taels, with such a order flag, even Zhong Bin and Liu Xianglao have no courage to move. ”

Zhong Bin sneezed directly on the Chunxiao, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, there were still people talking about him.

"Now that you have entered Chinese waters, it is natural for us, as the Chinese Navy, to inspect all ships that enter Chinese waters, whether they are friends or foes, so please cooperate with our actions." The one who spoke was Xiao Can, the former gunnery captain of the anti-smuggling boat who was learning the command of a sailboat on the Chunxiao. His height of 1.76 meters seriously hit the momentum of these Zheng family sailors, they had never seen such a tall person, but at a glance, there were really many such tall people on the ships of the Chinese maritime merchants.

"You Chinese territorial waters? What is territorial waters? The sailor was obviously supported by someone, and his speech became more and more presumptuous, "You say that this is China, then China?" I also said that this is the Martial Kingdom, and Lord Zheng has the final say on the sea! If Lord Zheng doesn't let it, you don't believe it when you say it! That half-closed crotch didn't close properly and leaked you out? Get out of here! Beware of Lao Tzu throwing you into the sea to feed the fish! ”

Xiao Can didn't say much, turned around and left with the sailors, and walked back to the Chunxiao along the ship's board.

"What's wrong?" Du Yande was a little strange and stopped greeting Xu Wei. Xiao Can's face was full of depression, "These people are like pirates, they don't allow us to board the ship for inspection, and they insult us." Please instruct us what to do! ”

Du Yande smiled, "This matter is a matter for the navy, you can solve it yourself, but remember one thing, you are soldiers, your responsibility is not to love peace, your responsibility is to maximize the power of the weapons in your hands!" The Senate will always be your solid backing! ”

Xiao Can stood upright, "Serve the Senate!" After saying that, he immediately ran to the gun position, and shouted loudly as he ran: "The artillery team assembles!" Starboard machine gun crew ready! ”

Hearing the order, the sailors quickly began to run on the deck, Xu Wei was inexplicably hung in the middle of the deck, and saw groups of Chinese sailors pouring from the cabin to various parts of the deck, rushing directly to the two long-barreled guns in the middle of the deck, and skillfully began to shake the cranks to load the guns. The machine gunners on the starboard side also opened the safety of the machine guns, loaded the bullets into the magazine, and then prepared to fire and wait for the order to fire.

"Warning shot, fire!" Two spring-loaded shells crossed the flotilla and exploded about 300 meters behind the flotilla, followed by a machine-gun that fired a bomb at the sea behind the flotilla. The columns of water that rushed to the sea rose one after another, so that all the sailors who watched the Chinese were stunned, when did there be such a powerful weapon at sea?
