Shi Lang became a commander-in-chief of the naval division, stayed in the Tianjin naval division camp for a week, purchased food, fresh water, ammunition, bows and arrows and other ordnance, selected more than 3,000 sailors, commanded ten fortune ships and 26 sand ships, and sailed away.

He left the mouth of Dagu and came to the sea.

The ships marched southeast, and the boats were moving very slowly.

The ship, which was accustomed to the speed of eight or nine knots, was now sitting at a speed of six or seven knots, and Shi Lang felt very uncomfortable.

Looking at the chaotic sailors on the boat, Shi Lang scolded: "Where can such a sailor be the opponent of Zheng Jiajun!" It's just a rice bucket, damn it, from now on, you have to double your training. ”

Hearing Shi Lang's arrogance and contempt for his trained subordinates, a bearded lieutenant was suddenly displeased.

He stood up and shouted, "If you are the oldest, you dare to humiliate Lao Tzu's soldiers." If I don't give a word today, even if I am punished, I will ask for an explanation! ”

Shi Lang looked at the bearded lieutenant general in front of him and shouted disdainfully, "Who are you?" also dare to argue with Lao Tzu. ”

The bearded lieutenant general drank, "Lao Tzu is Zhao Liangdong, the chief soldier of Tianjin, and they are all Lao Tzu's soldiers!" ”

Shi Lang heard it and said lightly: "It turned out to be a soldier you trained, no wonder it's so useless!" ”

Zhao Liangdong rushed up with red eyes when he heard this, wanting to beat Shi Lang and hold the other lieutenants to death.

The corners of Shi Lang's mouth curled, and he said, "It seems that you are not convinced!" ”

Zhao Liangdong held his head high, looking unconvinced.

Shi Lang looked at him and shouted, "Water warfare is different from land warfare, it is not just a brave word that can be won, what is important is that there is a way to mobilize ships, and soldiers are flexible and good at water." You look at the dozens of ships alone, and the passage is chaotic. As a sailor, he can't stand on the armor of the ship, how to kill the enemy. Even if there are hundreds of ships, the Zheng family's sailors are still in command, and the standard for the selection of sailors is that they can only be selected if they hold a big knife or a gun in their hands in the sea, swim in the water, and the water can only be submerged to the waist, not to the chest. How can a soldier like you be the opponent of the Zheng family's sailors! ”

gave Shi Lang this drink, Zhao Liangdong blushed and didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Liangdong is upright by nature and disdains lying.

The Qing army's sailors were inferior to the Zheng family's sailors.

The soldiers of the north have never been accustomed to water warfare, and they were suddenly transferred to the sailors, even if they were skilled in teaching every day, but they were only barely able to avoid seasickness, and they were too far from being able to get rid of the elite soldiers.

Shi Lang is a demoted general, and he jumped to the top as soon as he came, and he knew that it would inevitably make many people dissatisfied. That's why he openly insulted the rice bucket of the Qing army's sailors.

Seeing that these guys were shocked for a while, Shi Lang's subordinates took out a table of eight immortals, opened the large map in his hand, spread it on the table, pointed to a small island in the sea, and said, "This is the stronghold of a group of pirates." ”

Zhao Liangdong saw that a red circle had been drawn on the island, and three red arrows pointed to the red circle from the north, east, and south. sighed in my heart, it seems that this guy has been prepared.

Shi Lang said: "Our sailors are not well trained, and the broadside battle is definitely not an opponent." Promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, our artillery is more powerful than them, so Lao Tzu is planning to divide the troops into three ways, from the north of the island, the east of the island, and the south of the island to attack, leaving the west of the island all the way without attacking, after a burst of artillery, the bandits on the island can not resist, most of them will fall into the sea from the west of the island and flee, we are behind this small island thirty miles west of the island, ambushed twenty ships. When the first-class bandits fled, these twenty warships rushed out to block the way, and as soon as the cannons rang out, the northern, eastern, and southern warships surrounded the pirates' ships. At that time, no pirate escaped with his life. ”

Zhao Liangdong secretly sighed that it was really a good plan, this guy has some ability.

Shi Lang saw that the others did not object, and immediately ordered Yang Fan to go straight to the pirate stronghold.

The fleet had sailed for two days and had reached the vicinity of the pirate stronghold.

Shi Lang took up his monoculars to check the pirates, and saw that the island was lush with trees and undulating hills, but it was a good place, and it was a pity that this live pirate would gather here, but it was a pity.

There was not even a single sentry, so it was besieged by the Qing army's sailors.

Such miscellaneous soldiers, the Qing army and sailors could not be exterminated, and they were really useless.

Shi Lang quickly cleaned up his mood and ordered, Zhao Liangdong led 2,000 Qing soldiers on nine warships to attack from the east, north and south of the island; He also ordered Sun Sike to lead the rest of the warships, hide on the west side of Tongyu Island, and sail out to intercept them as soon as he heard the cannon.

Which ship was in front, which ship responded, which team charged, and which team flanked were all assigned in an orderly manner and given detailed instructions.

The lieutenant generals, staff generals, garrison commanders, and assistant leaders in the Green Battalion Army, all of whom were deeply impressed when they saw that Shi Lang was well versed in water warfare strategies, had exquisite strategies, and had appropriate commands.

With Shi Lang's order, one warship after another sailed out.

On an unknown island circled in red on Shi Lang's map, in a cottage, hundreds of pirates are sitting in the lobby of the cottage, drinking wine and eating meat, so happy.

The big boss of the living pirate wiped his mouth after speaking, and shouted: "Second brother, how much have we earned this month?" ”

The second boss hurriedly said, "Big boss, 1,69 people have sent them to the door this month, and they have all been sold to the Four Seas Commercial Bank. It's just that the elderly and children account for more than 500 people, and they earned more than 4,000 taels this month. It's a lot less than last month. ”

The big boss heard the scolding and said, "Damn, there are so many less this month." Hey, I don't know how the Four Seas Commercial Bank labeled, young and strong women are priced at ten taels, and the elderly and children are only priced at one tael. ”

The second boss heard it and smiled, "The big boss, the Four Seas Commercial Bank also has to make money, and the young woman can still work, but this old man and child is a money-losing business!" It is also asked for by the merchants of the four seas, but other dealers do not want it. ”

The big boss touched his bald head and drank: "His grandmother's bear, now it is getting more and more difficult to find people in the coastal area, it seems that next time I will go a little deeper." ”

The second boss also sighed and said, "It's all a good thing done by those Tartars, damn it, it's good, and they want to issue a ban on the sea and a sea relocation order." Moving the coastal people inward for 50 miles will make it difficult for us to find a single citizen. ”

The big boss also scolded, "It's all a good thing done by his mother's Tartar, and now the people of Shandong can't survive." The last time we went to the village, there wasn't even a damn chaff. When they heard that we were going to eat, the whole village was clamoring to follow us. ”

The second master smiled: "It's not right, and let's make a lot of money." If we catch up with a few more votes, we can all buy a few acres of land and eat and drink spicy food from now on. ”

The big boss said with a smile, "Lao Tzu has heard that there are large areas of wasteland waiting to be cleared in Nanyang, as long as everyone follows Lao Tzu, the brothers will be able to be landlords and live freely." ”

The second master picked up a porcelain bowl and said, "Come, everyone respects the bowl of the big master." If it weren't for the big boss to find such a good way, our gang would still be drinking the northwest wind! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what the second master said is right, we respect you when we come to the big master!"

"Respect for the master!"

The big boss was also vague, picked up the bowl and drank: "Come, brother drink!" ”

Say it all in one bite.

The other pirates drank the wine from the bowl in one gulp.

"Good!"

"The big boss is heroic!"

The other pirates immediately coaxed when they saw it.

The pirate was drinking in rejoicing when he suddenly heard a sharp noise, followed by an earthquake and a rock. (To be continued.) )
