Chapter 195: Friction with Zheng Zhilong

After the expansion of the troops, many soldiers and officers have been disorganized, for example, in the past, they may have been from the 1st Infantry Brigade, but now they have gone to the 2nd Infantry Division, and they used to be from the 3rd Infantry Brigade, and now they are from the 1st Infantry Division, and so on.

As the top of the literary and artistic propaganda team, Qin Xiaoyu was transferred to the first infantry division, and usually did propaganda work, such as the recruitment work two or three months ago, Qin Xiaoyu and other female soldiers in the propaganda team, everyone went to many places to publicize recruitment.

Now, mainly in the barracks, like the female soldiers of other propaganda teams, they often perform songs and dances for everyone, in fact, to be honest, Qin Xiaoyu wants to go to the front-line troops, but there has never been a precedent for female soldiers to participate in the front-line troops, and Qin Xiaoyu's request was naturally not agreed.

So, Qin Xiaoyu still stayed in the literary and artistic propaganda team, and today, together with the female soldiers of the propaganda team, they are performing songs and dances for everyone.

Zhang Feng first saw Qin Xiaoyu and recognized Qin Xiaoyu, not long after, Qin Xiaoyu also saw Zhang Feng, saw Zhang Feng, Qin Xiaoyu was stunned at first, and then, inexplicably panicked in his heart, a very skilled singing and dancing move was even almost done wrong.

That's right, it's him!

It's him!

I haven't seen Zhang Feng for more than half a year, Qin Xiaoyu recognized it at a glance, no one knows that Zhang Feng's image has always been hidden in Qin Xiaoyu's heart.

If he still had a little resentment towards Zhang Feng before, now he has long been dissatisfied, Qin Xiaoyu knows that he has dreamed of Zhang Feng for countless nights, but Qin Xiaoyu has never known who Zhang Feng is, why did he disappear all of a sudden.

In the past, Qin Xiaoyu thought that Zhang Feng was a recruit, but then after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not like it, and now, seeing Zhang Feng sitting there with a smile on his face, and a group of officers around him, all of them were colonel-level officers, and even his own division commander, Qin Xiaoyu knew that Zhang Feng's identity was definitely not simple.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you."

Qin Xiaoyu obviously had a movement that was half a beat slower, and a female soldier next to him couldn't help but remind him carefully, and Qin Xiaoyu came back to his senses.

Zhang Feng saw the singing and dancing performances of several female soldiers in front of him, and there was applause and cheers from the soldiers in his ears, Zhang Feng also nodded, these female soldiers looked pleasing to the eye, especially one of them was particularly beautiful, and when he swept it at a glance, he immediately had an amazing feeling, which was naturally Qin Xiaoyu.

Zhang Feng himself didn't know, he saw Qin Xiaoyu the most times, and he didn't even realize it, but this was discovered by Wang Chaoyong and Kong Qingjie, who were sitting next to Zhang Feng, Wang Chaoyong had already noticed Qin Xiaoyu, and felt that this girl was obviously very beautiful, and found that Zhang Feng was different, Wang Chaoyong looked at it carefully and thoughtfully.

Kong Qingjie also noticed the difference between Zhang Feng, for Qin Xiaoyu, Kong Qingjie knew that it was a flower of his propaganda team, and the most beautiful one among the dozens of female soldiers in the propaganda team, seeing Zhang Feng like this, Kong Qingjie also seemed to understand something, and nodded quietly.

Wang Chaoyong and Kong Qingjie both had ideas and plans in their hearts, but Zhang Feng, the person concerned, didn't know anything about it, and nodded approvingly while watching there.

Taiwan strait.

A fleet is sailing, this fleet is different from the general fleet, there is not a single sail ship, all of them are steam-powered ships, including 12 steam carriers of 3,000 materials, and six sea ships with significantly smaller tonnage, which are 1,000 warships, which were eliminated by the navy in the past.

This is Xu Liangyi's ocean-going trade fleet, this time it ran farther, it was the farthest since the establishment of the fleet, ran to Luzon, dumped a large number of goods in Luzon, in exchange for a large number of goods, thinking of the profits of this trip, Xu Liangyi was very happy.

In a few days, he will arrive at the port of Shanghai, Xu Liangyi said in his heart, worthy of a steam-powered sea ship, the speed is fast, even if the speed of five or six knots is much faster than those sail ships, and sometimes, it can even maintain the speed of seven or eight knots.

"Boss, it's cold outside, let's go back to the cabin."

Seeing that Xu Liangyi stood on the bow deck for a short time, one of Xu Liangyi's subordinates came over to remind him that this was the weather in early spring, and when he was in Luzon, the weather was naturally warm, but after entering the Taiwan Strait, the temperature gradually dropped, and after sailing for a few days, the temperature would be even lower when he arrived at Shanghai Port.

Xu Liangyi said: "It's okay, I'll stand here again." ”

The weather has been relatively good these days, the wind and waves are calm, the sky is blue, there are a few clouds, and there is also a warm sun, standing on the bow deck, in addition to the endless sea, there are only their own big ships, and now, the whole fleet is sailing in formation.

However, it is not only Xu Liangyi's boats, there are some small black spots on the sea level in the distance, and the first thing I found was that these small black spots were the guys on the lookout post.

A steward came over and reported, "Boss, we have found a large number of sailing ships heading towards us, which do not seem to be merchant ships, but rather warships. ”

"Oh." Xu Liangyi stretched out his hand to ask for a monocular, took the telescope, stood on the bow deck, and looked seriously.

Because the distance is relatively far, I can't see it very clearly, but one thing is very clear, the other party is a warship, it seems that there are more than a dozen, and they are full of sails, and they are heading towards Xu Liangyi's fleet.

Such a fleet was found in the Taiwan Strait, and it was still a fleet of more than a dozen warships, and there was no doubt that it was Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

At the beginning, when he went south to Luzon, Xu Liangyi's fleet also passed through the Taiwan Strait and also encountered Zheng Zhilong's fleet, but that fleet did not have so many warships at the beginning, although there was friction at the beginning, it is estimated that Zheng Zhilong's people saw that Xu Liangyi's fleet was huge and did not fight, so it could only be regarded as friction.

This time, seeing that the other party seemed to be prepared and came directly towards his own fleet, Xu Liangyi said: "Slow down and meet the enemy!" ”

Although it is a commercial ocean-going fleet, it is not a soft persimmon, not only is there six 1,000-material steam-powered warships, each of which is equipped with several 70-millimeter guns, and in addition, whether it is a 1,000-material steam-powered sea ship or a 3,000-material steam carrier, everyone is equipped with flintlock muskets.

Xu Liangyi can accelerate and escape with the speed of a steam-powered ship, and the opponent's sail-powered warship will definitely not be able to catch up, but Xu Liangyi doesn't want to run, but slows down to see what Fang is going to do, even if he wants to fight, then let's fight.

Xu Liangyi has not never fought a war, he has participated in the war in Incheon before, and in addition, he has encountered pirates several times, Xu Liangyi is not afraid of war.

The fleet slowed down, and the other party's ships gradually got closer, Xu Liangyi could see clearly with a monocular, the other party was Zheng Zhilong's warship, and there was a big "Zheng" on the flag flying high on each warship, which was very conspicuous.

The other party obviously also recognized which force Xu Liangyi's fleet belonged to, because the steam-powered ship was completely different from the ordinary sail ship, and the other party could see it at a glance, so the other party's ship leaned over and began to slow down.

Xu Liangyi wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.

More than a dozen guys ran onto the deck, standing behind Xu Liangyi, holding muskets in their hands, watching the other party's ships approach, the six thousand-material ships, each artillery was ready, aiming at the opponent's ships, each ship had a firing position, and a large number of guys were in place with muskets.

"Shout!"

Seeing that the other party was still approaching, Xu Liangyi ordered, salute first, then soldier, shout first, if he continued to get closer, then he would shoot and fire.

A guy held a big iron horn and shouted loudly, "We are the fleet of Songjiang Zhang's general army, please don't approach, otherwise, we will open fire." ”

"Again, warn, please don't come closer, or we'll open fire!"

Shouted many times, the flag was played again and again, and even Xu Liangyi was ready to shoot, and the opponent's fleet finally stopped, about two or three hundred meters away from Xu Liangyi's fleet, however, one of the ships continued to sail over and stopped at a distance of only a few dozen meters from Xu Liangyi's ship.

On the deck of the other ship, someone shouted on the bow deck, "This is the channel under our control, please stop the ship for inspection and pay the silver taels according to the regulations, otherwise, we will forcibly board the ship." ”

Pay the silver taels and forcibly board the ship!

Xu Liangyi sneered and said loudly: "Shoot, shout!" ”

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, deafening, and the guy just now shouted loudly with a big iron horn: "Please get out of the way, and declare again, please get out of the way quickly, otherwise, we will open fire." ”

The other party did not let in the slightest, and wanted to forcibly board the ship for inspection. Joke, how could Xu Liangyi let them board his own ship for inspection, and Xu Liangyi didn't let them at all.

The two sides are facing each other like this, and the saber is rattling!

Xu Liangyi sneered, Xu Liangyi knew that Zheng Zhilong controlled the entire Taiwan Strait and collected fees for the passage of commercial ships from various countries, and Zheng Zhilong quickly became rich and captivated. He was called the lord of southern Fujian and the overlord of the sea, and gave the Zheng family a banner for the merchant ships that paid protection fees to Zheng Zhilong (a large ship needed to pay 3,000 taels of silver); If you want to pass through the Zhilong sea area without paying the fee, you will generally not escape the fate of being robbed.

The other party saw that Xu Liangyi's fleet refused to accept the inspection and refused to pay the silver taels, so those dozen or so warships began to set up a formation, and it seemed that they were preparing to open fire.

Since the other party was already preparing to open fire, Xu Liangyi decided to strike first and shouted loudly: "Fire, fire immediately!" ”

Everyone has been prepared for a long time, although it is not a regular navy, but every guy has received basic military training, and some have also participated in battles, such as fighting pirates.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The six 1,000-material warships are the role of frigates, and they immediately opened fire, aiming at Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and the opponent's more than a dozen warships were of different sizes, but they were all equipped with artillery, and the large warships were larger than the 1,000-material sea ships, and some of them were not as big as the 1,000-material sea ships.

However, the other party has the advantage in numbers, with more than a dozen ships, while Xu Liangyi only has six, and the rest are transport ships with a relatively large displacement and the size of 3,000 materials.

The transports were not equipped with artillery, only a lot of firing positions, and at each firing position, the guys could shoot with muskets.

The naval battle began!

This was the first official, large-scale naval battle between Zhang Feng and Zheng Zhilong, which had only been a few frictions before, but now it was a formal naval battle.
