Chapter 359: Jiaozhou Bay

Mobile reading

"Old Liutou! Open the door! Open the door! With a rapid knock on the door, Lao Liu finally got up from the kang, and only after a while did he move the top door open, and then a gust of wind blew the door open, and the quilt blocking the door was blown almost parallel to the ground by the wind, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes suddenly swept across the whole room, and the lighter things inside were blown up, and a document was blown up from the table, and flew straight towards the door. grabbed the document directly in the air, and then stuffed it into the arms of the anxious old Liu Tou, and then turned around and followed the old Liu Tou and the two of them to close the door together.

The ship is not the only enemy, hating Mo Leng and lonely Mo Nuo

"Chen Hui? What are you doing here? Old Liu asked a little out of breath, and at the same time carefully blocked the door with a broken quilt blocking the door, and the cold wind blowing in through the crack in the door suddenly decreased a lot. Chen Hui was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, wearing a thick cotton jacket and a burqa that could no longer be seen in too many colors. He laboriously took off the cloth wrapped in three or four layers on his head, then took a breath and said, "Isn't this sending you a few steamed buns, today's heavy snow closed the road, and we don't have much food in the grain depot, and if we eat like this, we can only last for four or five days, so I'll get you a few more." ”

"How many more did you get me?" Old Liu Tou is not really as old as he shouts, in fact, he is only a young man in his early thirties, but he is the highest commander in this Fushan Front Station - even if there are only eight people under him. At this moment, Lao Liu Tou smiled a little disdainfully, "Do you take a few more for me or take a few more and store them here with me first, and wait until there is no food, so you can come over and eat?" ”

"No! How can there be such a thing? Even if he was told to break his mind, Chen Hui was not the slightest unhappy, and still said with a smile, "It's not like you can't finish eating, I'll help you eat, by the way, there is something strange on the sea today." ”

"What else does it look like?" Lao Liu Tou said with some disdain, "Jiaozhou Bay has not been frozen in the past ten years, whether it is the fishing boats in the bay or the boats of the navy, if you don't open your eyes and don't drag it ashore, you can only wait for the spring thaw to be able to move." ”

"No, no, no!" Chen Hui said a little anxiously, "Today's lookout brother said that there seem to be a few pillars of smoke in the far south, and they are getting closer and closer, and it seems that someone is burning all the way on the sea and coming all the way. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Old Liu Tou was even more unconvinced at the moment, "Use your brain to think about it, who can light a fire on the sea?" Besides, how do you make a fire on the sea? Is it burning on the ship? Tired of living? Burn your boat to the sea and play, and then jump into the sea to swim in the cold winter? ”

"That's not really," Chen Hui said with a smile, "yes, but I saw the smoke, and there were a few of them, and they seemed to be really approaching." ”

"Don't be afraid if you get close! What's so scary about that? Lao Liu Tou waved his hand and said, "On such a cold day, Jiaozhou Bay is frozen again, and the boat doesn't dare to dock when it comes, otherwise it will freeze in the sea. ”

"It's a mess now! Jianzhou Tartar is making a lot of trouble now, if you start from ......" Chen Hui's words were not finished before Lao Liu Tou interrupted, "Pull you down!" Are you joking when Weihaiwei, the capital of Dengzhou? Even if the Jianzhou Tartars really rushed over from the frozen sea, they were still in the way, let alone ......from the south," Lao Liu Tou said that he was stunned, and copied the document that Chen Hui had caught in the air before from his arms and opened it, "Wait a minute, you read this document to me again now!" ”

Chen Hui is the only person in this Fushan front office who has drunk some ink, even if Lao Liu Tou is his superior, but he has to rely on his "literacy" ability when conveying documents. He took the document and opened it, and looked at it carefully, "There is no change on it, it still means that there is a guest army from Annan Province, saying that it will go ashore in Jiaozhou Bay, let us let them go all the way, and let them go to the west to participate in the Shanxi counterinsurgency." ”

The enemy is not alone, but after learning from the cold technique

"Annan? Isn't it just to the south? It has to be hundreds of miles away, right? Old Liu Tou muttered, Chen Hui shook his head, "Annan is in the southwest, it is the border of my Dawu, and it is thousands of miles away from here!" ”

"This guest army will come ashore here, does that mean it will come from the sea?" Old Liu Tou hurriedly said, "Is that this the guest army?" ”

Sun Qiu Qiu Yuan's solo knot technique is tested by the moon

Chen Hui shook his head, "I don't know, the ship of the Southern Army is not going to burn and drive the ship, right?" When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately laughed with Chen Hui, and the laughter did not stop, but he heard a rush of footsteps from the wind outside the door, followed by a knock on the door that was even more anxious than Chen Hui, "Dun Chief!" Pier length! Something happened! Something happened! Come out! ”

Although there are only seven or eight people in this small duntai, and the location is not an important location, they are all officers and soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, and the word accident is not a joke. At that moment, Lao Liu Tou and Chen Hui worked together to open the door again, and there was a tightly wrapped dun ding standing at the door, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and there was a small layer of thin ice on the corner of the mandarin duck battle jacket that could not see the color.

"Pier Chief! South! There is a boat in the south! Dun Ding hurriedly said, and after speaking, he hurriedly pulled the cloth covering his mouth up, and Lao Liu was excited, "Is there really a boat?" How many? ”

"There are a lot! And it's so big! Dunding's mouth was covered under the windshield, but it was still very clear, "Come with me to see!" ”

"Well, I'll put on my clothes and go!" Old Liu nodded and patted Chen Hui on the shoulder, "You follow him over first, and I'll go get dressed." So saying, he went back to the house.

Chen Hui ran out of the door with the pier, a few steps into the pier not far away, this pier is located on the mountain nicknamed "big stone" on the outside of Jiaozhou Bay, the altitude of this mountain is not high, about thirty or forty zhang high, the pier stands at the highest place of the big stone mountain, about six or seven zhang high, there is a horse dung pile on the top of the pier, it can be used to light as a beacon fire in case of emergency. This pier is made of the foundation of a mound of earth and then built with bluestone blocks on it, and there are living rooms in it, which can be lived in by the piers, and there are also living facilities such as granaries, firewood houses, and kitchens. Although there are also weapons in the arsenal, they are basically some broken weapons, and it is said that there are weapons distributed every few years, but the hundreds of households in the front of Fushan have taken these new weapons and sold them to smugglers to make money.

Distant hatred of ghosts, enemies, wars, and coldness

Lao Liu Tou soon followed together on the top of the pier, today's wind is particularly strong, but it is a clear sky, it is a pity that these suns can not feel the slightest warmth on the body, and in the case of the cold wind, as long as there is a slight gap in the cotton clothes, there will be heat quickly slip away, and the people on the top of the pier platform are all wrapped tightly in the cotton jackets on their bodies and trembling.

Knot far away from ghosts, enemies, wars, and Xue Yang Leng: "No! How can there be such a thing? Even if he was told to break his mind, Chen Hui was not the slightest unhappy, and still said with a smile, "It's not like you can't finish eating, I'll help you eat, by the way, there is something strange on the sea today." ”

There were no binoculars on the pier, but fortunately, the natives of the New World did not have the trouble of short-sightedness, so everyone looked far away, and they all saw the pillars of smoke in the distance and the big ships that were spewing out the pillars of smoke. Old Liu Tou almost shouted out loud, "What a big ship!" ”

The ship he saw was the Oriental Port, after the ship returned from Lanyu, it carried the goods drawn up by Guo Hao, the commercial representative, and the second batch of personnel and materials of the northbound brigade began to advance towards Lanyu, in the two days after arriving in Lanyu, the first batch and the second batch of northbound brigade personnel were rotated, and at the same time unloaded all the goods, and completed the loading of the rhinoceros transport vehicle, and then under the escort of the Iron Fist, accompanied by a large number of Fuchuan Guangzhou transport ships began to go north, today is the day to arrive in the sea off Qingdao.

"Sister! Is it such a coincidence? Is Jiaozhou Bay frozen? Yang Feng almost scolded, "Isn't Jiaozhou Bay an ice-free port?" ”

"Dalian is a ice-free port, and Jiaozhou Bay is frozen in winter, and it will not be thawed until around April." Zhang Zefeng, who was next to him, said with some weakness that he was not seasick, but very dissatisfied with this very intense shipping work. In the past 20 days, in addition to going ashore to rest for a few days when he had just landed on Lanyu, he was immediately sent back to Dongfang Port with the ship, and then quickly loaded the supplies, he was sent out again before he even had time to board the shore of Dongfang Port, and then hurriedly unloaded and loaded the materials and personnel in Lanyu, and then hurriedly went north. What made him most dissatisfied was that He Lin, the chief engineer of the original Dongfang Port, was transferred to the sister ship Zhancheng Port when he returned to Dongfang Port, because the main engine of the Zhancheng Port had frequent failures and needed to be overhauled in detail. He had been an engineer in the old world, and since he had crossed over, he had left all the "dirty work" to his apprentices, and he rarely did it himself, but this time, because four large steam ships entered service almost at the same time, the mechanical apprentices who had been trained before were promoted to work on the other steamships. Regarding the problem of the lack of engineers on the Dongfang Port, Yu Sha's solution to the problem of the Human Resources Department was also quite simple and rude, and he directly grabbed a group of naturalized people who had just completed the so-called cultural education from the training class and stuffed them directly to Zhang Zefeng, asking him to start training again.

This sentence of re-training is easy to say, but in practice, it is almost Zhang Zefeng's life, and it is not easy to train a large number of engineers who can basically work independently, right? Although the new naturalized migrant workers said that they had received more education than the previous ones, and their IQ was relatively higher, how easy was it to educate them from scratch? So all kinds of "opportunistic" actions that made him feel dangerous made him almost sleepless at night, and he hated to open a bed in the engine room, and he could stare at the eggs of these recruits when he slept, so that he really dreamed of a good night's sleep until now.

"Qingdao is supposed to be in front of us, but now it's all covered by ice and snow, and we don't even know where the coastline is, so we can't land." Yang Feng continued, and several elders around him also raised their binoculars and looked in the direction of the coast. It was at least six kilometers from the location of the Vostochny Harbor to the faint pier in the distance, and through the telescope, you could faintly see people moving on the pier.

Hong Jie put down the binoculars and said, "Good guy, you see that these people above are busy all the time, they must be planning to light wolf smoke, right?" ”

The knot branch does not hate the enemy of the war and the moon

"Point a fart, you have to ignite it to have a ghost," Zhan Jie hit mercilessly, "This kind of ghost weather, snow and ice cover and strong wind, it's not easy to light wolf smoke, not to mention that our people should have already arrived nearby, right?" ”

At the same time, on the top of the pier, several dunding were squatting beside the horse dung heap and beating with a fire sickle, although the sparks fell out a lot, but they were often extinguished in a flash in the pan on the fire, even if three or four people were lighting the fire at the same time, but the wolf smoke was not lit.

"Chief, let's run! Who knows what those ships are for? If they really come to attack us, they won't be able to run away if they don't run now! A dun ding said to Lao Liu Tou in an almost pleading tone, but Lao Liu Tou shook his head and said firmly, "No, you can't run!" We're Dunding, do we still need to fight a war? The only thing we have to do is to light a wolf smoke when the enemy comes, and now that the enemy is coming, we will flee from the wind, and the wolf smoke will not even be lit, and we will definitely be beheaded if we go back, so today's wolf smoke must be ignited, otherwise it is useless even if we run away, anyway, we will die everywhere, it is better to die here! ”

"Well said!" Suddenly there was such a sentence around them, and the few dunding who lit the fire were so frightened that the fire sickles in their hands flew out, and a few of them had already run towards the corner of the wall where the weapons were placed, but they stopped in the blink of an eye, because in the direction they were going, there were several people standing. These people are all wearing white jumpsuits, with hoods on their clothes, and their heads are completely covered inside, leaving only two eyes and a mouth exposed.

Each of these men carried a bird's gun in his hand, and the tip of the bird's gun also contained a short sword, which glittered in the sun. Everyone wore leather boots wrapped in white cloth, and the soles of the boots were also wrapped in cloth, so that when they approached, they did not make a sound at all, so that they were not found when they touched the side of the Dundings.

The first person was holding a similar bird gun in his hand, but it was shorter, and there was a wrought iron under the gun, and he didn't know what it was used for, he approached a little closer, and said to these bewildered Dunding, "We are from Dongfang Port, and we went to Shanxi to quell the rebellion at the invitation of your emperor, and there is no need to light the wolf smoke, we are not here to kill people and set fires." ”
