The person who asked for help just now recognized Pi Minghai, and looked desperately at the small boat in his eyes gradually moving away, this person regretted it very much in his heart, and didn't think about it, Pi Minghai is such a person, and he stupidly worked hard under Pi Minghai for several years, starting from the bottom and achieving the current position of a hundred households in the navy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boom!"

The hundred-household looked at the scene in the distance in surprise, and immediately waved his fist in relief, seeing the scene just now, the hundred-household's face was full of excitement and joy, and he thought in his heart, fortunately, Lao Tzu did not get on this boat.

It turned out that the boat was hit by a cannonball and exploded, Piminghai's luck was enough, this cannonball was definitely not intentionally aimed at this small boat, no artillery could hit so accurately, it must have wanted to hit a certain warship, but it missed and hit this small boat.

Bullets have stray bullets, can artillery shells also have stray cannons?

The cannonball exploded violently, the boat was blown up, the people on board were blown away, and Pi Minghai was swept away by the air wave generated by the explosion, flying more than ten meters away, and then fell into the sea with a thud, just falling not far from Xiao Xingmao's side.

Pi Minghai was obviously seriously injured, but he was not dead, he came out of the seawater, and when he saw Xiao Xingmao holding a big plank, he was immediately ready to swim over, wanting Xiao Xingmao to save himself.

Pi Minghai swam over, ready to grab this big plank, Xiao Xingmao pulled the plank, and thought in his heart, think beautifully, Lao Tzu won't catch it for you. Pi Minghai was not far from death, and it took the last bit of strength to swim over, but the plank was empty, and the last life-saving straw was gone.

Pi Minghai struggled on the surface of the sea a few times, grabbed his hands in the air a few times, and then sank to the bottom of the sea, and could only go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

"Shanghai" ironclad ship.

At this moment, Zhang Feng saw that the sail battle ship was completely destroyed, and said happily: "I bet that the big fish on it must have been wiped out." ”

Zhao Weibin said: "This is estimated to be the other party's flagship, there must be the other party's commander on it, and this time it must be dead." ”

Pi Minghai is dead, too dead to die, it is estimated that at this moment it has sunk to the bottom of the sea, becoming a corpse, and in a few days, it is estimated that there will be no corpse left, and it will be eaten by the carnivorous fish in this area.

Zhang Feng didn't know the situation of Pi Minghai, but he also guessed that it was not far from ten, but those subordinates of Pi Minghai knew that everyone knew that this was Pi Minghai's flagship, and seeing this sail battle ship burning, thick smoke billowing out, and even a few violent explosions from time to time, these people knew that Pi Minghai was finished.

Originally, they wanted to escape, but the sea breeze was not strong, and these sail warships could not run at all at speed, and they were caught up by Zhang Feng's steam-powered ship before they ran far, and then they were sunk, and the remaining people were afraid, and many began to surrender.

"Commander-in-chief, you see, someone has surrendered."

Zhao Weibin pointed ahead with a happy face, not far ahead, there was a warship, and the surrender of the people on the warship could be seen at a glance.

Zhang Feng smiled, pointed in another direction and said, "Look over there, the people on that boat have also surrendered." ”

This is like a chain reaction, as soon as someone takes the lead in surrendering, there will be a second batch immediately, a third batch, seeing that many people began to surrender, Zhao Weibing hurriedly asked: "Commander-in-chief, what should we do for those who surrender, whether to sink them or ......"

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Pass my order, accept their surrender, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, we will stop the shelling, and those who continue to resist will be sunk." ”

Zhang Feng knows very well that his opponent is not Japanese, which must be treated differently, if it is Japanese, then what is not said, all are eliminated, all sunk, but these people are also Chinese in the end, which cannot be wiped out.

Sure enough, after the order was given and the flag soldiers were raised, everyone stopped shelling those who surrendered, and even began to rescue those who fell into the water.

As a result, more people surrendered, and the battle gradually ended, and it was not long before the sound of shelling gradually thinned out, and the smoke on the sea gradually dissipated.

More than an hour later, the sky was slightly dark, and the fleet was ready to return in formation, first to Naha Military Port for a day or two to rest, and then back to Zhoushan Port.

Zhao Weibin walked into the command room with an excited face, and happily reported loudly: "Commander-in-chief, the battle is all over, none of our ships have been sunk, only a dozen ships have been damaged to varying degrees, and several of them are estimated to need to be returned to the shipyard for repairs. ”

In such a sea battle, there are more than 100 warships on both sides, and it is normal for one of his own warships to be damaged, and it is abnormal if they are not damaged, Zhang Feng is happy that none of his dozens of ships have been completely destroyed, let alone sunk.

Zhao Weibin then continued to report: "Commander-in-chief, after preliminary statistics, we sank and destroyed about 50 warships of the other side, captured 31 ships, captured more than 2,600 enemies, and according to the commander-in-chief's intentions, we deliberately let go of several ships. ”

Zhang Feng was very satisfied, and deliberately let go of a few boats, Zhang Feng had a purpose, and wanted to let Zheng Zhilong know that Zhang Feng was not easy to provoke, at least he Zheng Zhilong couldn't afford to provoke after these ships went back.

Thirty-one ships were captured, and Zhang Feng was of great use, ready to tow them all back to the shipyard for repair and modification, and all of them were converted into steam-powered ships, which were then handed over to Xu Liangyi to act as escorts or transport ships for the ocean-going trading company.

As for the navy, Zhang Feng never thought of giving these ships to the navy, even after repairs and transformations, Zhang Feng still couldn't look down on it, the navy was to be equipped with ironclad ships, or 3,000 warships and 2,000 warships built by himself.

Whether it is a 3,000-material warship or a 2,000-material warship, compared to these modified ships, the quality is much better, several naval battles have proved that today's naval battles are the same, these 3,000-material warships and 2,000-material warships, in the fierce sea battle, in the face of so many enemy warships, none of the ships were destroyed or sunk, only a dozen ships were damaged, and after repair, they can be restored as before.

Zhao Weibing asked, "Commander-in-chief, what to do with the more than 2,000 captives?" ”

Zhang Feng didn't think about it, waved his hand and said: "It's still the old way, all of them are assigned to participate in the labor reform, and they will be released after the two-year labor reform. ”

At present, there are more than 50,000 people participating in labor reform, including more than 30,000 North Korean laborers, and just over a month ago, more than a dozen North Korean laborers seized an opportunity and prepared to escape, but they were all arrested before they had run far, and then they were severely punished, and all of them were shot dead.

In this way, basically no one dared to run away again, and few people deserted and worked hard honestly. Just kidding, if you run away and get caught, you will be killed, work honestly, and you will be free at the end of the three-year period, and only a fool will want to run away again.

The fleet formation began to sail home, sailing towards the Naha Military Port, resting at the Naha Military Port for two days, then leaving the Naha Military Port, and a few days later, returning to the Zhoushan Military Port.

Shanghai Shipyard.

The workers found that from today onwards, there were many large sail ships, the small ones were about the size of nearly 1,000 materials, and the large ones were actually 2 or 3,000 materials, and the largest of them was estimated to be not much smaller than a 3,000 material warship.

"Where did this ship come from, it looks like a warship, and there are so many of them?"

"You don't know this, I heard that a few days ago, the chief soldier led the team and Zheng Zhilong's fleet fought a sea battle, defeating Zheng Zhilong's fleet, these warships were all captured by General Zhang, and they will be repaired and renovated here."

"The chief soldier is amazing, there are so many ships captured, how many warships does the other side have to have in the naval battle!"

"I heard that the other side has nearly 100 ships, all of which are such big war ships, but they were defeated by the commander-in-chief, and more than 2,000 people were captured, and all of them were sent to repair the railway."

“……”

There are a lot of such ships parked at the shipyard dock, and there are many more on the sea not far away, because there are too many ships, and the shipyard dock can't stop.

In the shipyard, Tang Jianqing is leading a large group of backbones, everyone is discussing the transformation and repair plan, according to the requirements put forward by Zhang Feng, all these ships will be transformed into steam-powered ships, the sail power will be retained, the artillery will be dismantled, and it will be used as scrap iron for refurnace, and then it will be replaced with new artillery produced by the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, mainly 70 mm guns.

Because these ships later served as transport ships, or as frigates for caravans, seventy mm guns were sufficient, and in addition, some of the cabins needed to be modified in order to increase the transport capacity.

Although the amount of work to renovate and repair such a ready-made warship is much smaller than that of a new ship, Tang Jianqing did not dare to take it lightly because of the large number of ships, and organized everyone to discuss and come up with a plan for transformation and repair.

Anping Town.

Zheng Zhilong has always thought that he has sent so many warships in one go, and after going for so long, there should be news coming, sure enough, the news really came, Zhang Feng deliberately let go of a few ships, although these ships were a little slower, but they finally arrived in Quanzhou.

"General, our men are back."

"Oh, come back, let them come to me, I want to hear what they have to say about the naval battle." Zheng Zhilong immediately became interested, immediately came to the spirit, and thought that his fleet had returned from a great victory.

However, the person who reported it cried and said miserably: "General, there are four warships we have returned, and only a few hundred people have returned, and the rest of the warships and people may never come back." ”

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong realized that something was wrong, his face changed, and he said sharply: "Say, what's going on?" ”

The person who reported it: "General, our warship was either sunk by Zhang Feng or surrendered, we were defeated, defeated very completely, we ......"

"Enough!" Zheng Zhilong interrupted this person's speech irritably, and said with a dark face: "Say, how many ships did Zhang Feng come in total, and how much they lost." ”

Zheng Zhilong also pinned his hopes on Zhang Feng's tragic victory, he lost nearly 100 ships, Zhang Feng must also have suffered heavy losses, Zheng Zhilong knew that Zhang Feng's number of warships would definitely not be comparable to himself, if Zhang Feng lost a lot of warships, it would be a great loss of vitality.
