On the blue sea, the blue waves are surging and the seabirds are flying.

The sea breeze blew, and it hurt my cheeks.

Li Zhen stood on the deck of a large ship, looking at the sea, with a serious expression.

Huang Shihai stood next to him, saw Li Zhen's expression, and thought that it was because the big war was coming, so Li Zhen was a little serious. As everyone knows, Li Zhen just saw this sea and sighed in his heart, China's territorial waters were completely lost in the Qing Dynasty, which was the reason for Li Zhen's heavy mood. Li Zhen wants to change the current weakness, and there is still a long gap.

Lu Shaochuan didn't say a word, and took a long telescope to look at the situation.

This telescope is Lu Shaochuan's treasure.

Half a year ago, Lu Shaochuan and his brothers attacked British merchant ships, killed and wounded 300 brothers, defeated British merchant ships, captured a few foreign guns, and obtained a long telescope. The telescope is his exploit, and he always hangs it on his waist, and he takes it out from time to time to look at it.

Lu Shaochuan squinted his left eye slightly, and his right eye stared at the telescope without blinking, paying attention to the situation at sea.

"There is a situation."

Suddenly, Lu Shaochuan exclaimed, put down the telescope in front of him, and said, "General Li, a British merchant ship is coming. ”

Li Zhen perked up and said, "Show me." ”

Lu Shaochuan handed the telescope to Li Zhen, and Li Zhen took it and carefully observed the situation in the distance. In the telescope, I can clearly see a ship coming. The ship also flew the British flag, and there were foreigners on the deck.

This ship was most likely a British merchant ship transporting opium.

Li Zhen returned the telescope to Lu Shaochuan and said, "Big Chief, immediately let the other two warships detour back to the back of the British merchant ships and cut off the back route of the British merchant ships." We attacked in front and rear and restrained the British merchant ships in one fell swoop. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen ordered again: "Zhu Wu and Guo Rou, you each lead ten special forces to the two warships to assist in commanding the battle. ”

Zhu Wu and Guo Rou are both the best in the sharp knife special forces.

Lu Shaochuan listened to Li Zhen's words, did not refuse, and let Zhu Wu and Guo Rou each enter the two big ships with ten soldiers. Moments later, the two warships anchored at sea moved quickly and made a detour to cut off the back of the British merchant ships.

Li Zhen ordered again: "Shihai, prepare for battle." ”

Huang Shihai immediately returned to the cabin and went to the gun port in the cabin to command.

Lu Shaochuan said: "General Li, I have nothing to do on the deck, I went to the battery below and aimed at the British merchant ships." ”

Li Zhen nodded, and Lu Shaochuan turned around and left

In fact, Lu Shaochuan only had two gunners under his command who could aim at the opposing merchant ships and open fire, and these two men had been assigned to the other two ships, each commanding a battery. The big boat that Li Zhen and Lu Shaochuan were riding had two cannons. Even if Huang Shihai goes down, Lu Shaochuan has something to do.

Li Zhen stood on the deck and continued to observe the situation.

The distance between the two sides has been shortened, and it is already possible to attack with artillery.

Li Zhen seized the fleeting opportunity and ordered: "Order, fire." ”

The order was transmitted to the cabin, Lu Shaochuan and Huang Shihai quickly loaded the shells, stood at the tail of the gun facing the gun body, gave a thumbs up to the position of the British merchant ship, and carefully aimed at the merchant ship in front. After determining the aim, the two lit the fuse one after another.

"Ugh! Yikes! ”

The fuse burned, and then suddenly a loud roar erupted.

Two shells flew out of the muzzle, spun forward, and fired at the British merchant ship with a sharp whistling. The first shell landed on the mast of a British merchant ship and exploded, the explosion of the shell broke the mast, and the upper end of the merchant ship became bare, and a fire broke out all around it. The second shell landed on the deck, and after the explosion, it set off a heat wave, directly blowing up the corpses of the people on the deck, and even if there were those who survived, they were already miserable.

Two shells sent the British merchant ship into a shock.

By this time, the British flag had long ceased to exist and had been blown away by shells. The captain of the British merchant ship was in a heavy mood when he saw the artillery attack, and immediately turned his direction, preparing to quickly get rid of the big ship in front of him.

"Captain, no, there are two more enemy ships behind the battleship."

The co-captain ran to the captain's quarters with a worried look in his eyes.

"Kick! Step on! ”

When the captain heard this, he took two steps back, and with a look of horror on his face, he muttered, "We finally sold opium once, how come we met pirates?" Damn, damn it, it's a pity we don't have artillery, otherwise we would have been able to return fire a long time ago. ”

The deputy captain said: "Captain, what we are thinking about now is not the issue of returning fire, but the fact that the big ship is going to sink." ”

The captain looked indignant and said, "Damn, don't they know that this is a merchant ship of the British Empire?" I would like to appeal to Aliko. ”

"Boom!"

Another shell landed on the ship, and the huge explosion caused the big ship to shake violently.

The deputy captain failed to stand firm and fell directly to the ground, and the captain was also embarrassed, and it was difficult to stabilize his body. The deputy captain said weakly: "Mr. Captain, if we don't raise the white flag and surrender, we will sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish." There are hundreds of crew members on board, so please think about their lives. ”

The captain sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Go, surrender." ”

The deputy captain hurriedly left the captain's room and asked the crew to surrender while hoisting the white flag.

When Li Zhen saw it, his face showed joy.

Immediately, Li Zhen instructed the soldiers to use the flag to inform Zhu Wu and Guo Rou's big ship, let Guo Rou's big ship anchor behind the British merchant ship, deter the British merchant ship, and let Zhu Wu's big ship quickly approach and accept the surrender.

Lu Shaochuan came to the deck from the cabin and said, "General, let's go over in a small boat to see the situation of the British merchant ships." ”

Li Zhen nodded in response and ordered Huang Shihai to stay on the big ship.

Next, Li Zhen and Lu Shaochuan and ten soldiers got off the big ship and headed for the British merchant ship in a small boat. The rowers were extremely proficient, and the boats were fast, quickly docking under the British merchant ships. Waiting for the ladder to be thrown down and climbed, Li Zhen, Lu Shaochuan and ten soldiers climbed up, and soon got on the big ship of the British merchant.

Zhu Wu had already brought people on board the ship and tied up the captain and deputy captain.

On the deck, stacks of opium were stacked.

Li Zhen glanced at him roughly, his expression was already cold, and there was a faint killing intent flashing in his eyes. The opium of the other party in front of him is not a few catties or dozens of catties, but hundreds of catties. As long as the British merchants sold it, they could not only get the silver taels of white flowers, but also harm the Chinese people.

Li Zhensen's cold gaze fell on the British captain, and he asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Captain, did Ali Guo let you transport opium, and did not send someone to escort it?" ”

After hearing this, the captain looked confused and puzzled.

Immediately, the captain said, "Mr. Consul did not let me transport the opium, I did it myself. ”

Li Zhen chuckled in his heart, and he was also a little confused.

Gulina's news said that Ali had asked British merchant ships to transport opium, and that the British merchant ships were in front of her. Li Zhen believes that Gu Lina will not lie to him, but how can the situation not match? Could it be that the captain is lying?

Li Zhen shook his head, and he didn't feel like it.
