For the first time, the reform of Tamsui City was fully rolled out. The large-scale standardization of various workshops is that the army has also begun to standardize.

Wu Tianxiao set up his own banner in Tamsui City. The flag is designed with yellow characters on a red background, with a large "Han" character as the flag theme. The flag pattern is a yellow five-clawed golden dragon surrounded by a large yellow "Han" character. The Chinese character of the dragon symbol Han culture, and the red background symbolizes blood. The shape of the dragon is a horse face, a dog's nose, a cow's mouth, antlers, a snake's body, an eagle's claws, fish scales, a lion's tail, and a shrimp's whiskers, symbolizing the combination of various ethnic groups. And embroidered four big characters on the dragon flag "for the sky". Wu Jiajun called himself the "hero of the East China Sea", in order to make the Ming court regard him as a pirate, rather than an anti-army.

The dragon flag is the banner of the heroes of the East China Sea, and each department uses the name of the region as its battalion number. If the defense area is in Tamsui City, take the Tamsui Naval Division. The defense area is on Zhoushan Island, so it is named Zhoushan Water Division Battalion. The camp flag is based on the theme of the Hanlong Flag, but the four characters for Tianxingdao are changed to five characters for the Tamsui Water Division Camp, or the Zhoushan Water Division Camp. There is a battalion number, and naturally there is a military system. Wu Tianxiao also edited the ranks and reorganized the military system on his own, and added badges to the shoulders of sergeant uniforms. The rank and grade of the military are defined by a "Chinese" character and a "five-pointed star".

The establishment stipulates that recruits have no military rank. The badge on the soldier's shoulder is a "Han" character, and the rank is corporal. Five soldiers form a team, the head of the army is a sergeant, and the badge is a Chinese character and a star. Five soldiers into a team, captain ensign, badge for one Chinese character and two stars, 26 personnel. The five teams form a company, with 100 households as lieutenants, the badge is 1 Han and 3 stars, and the auxiliary team is a 26-person logistics firehead team, with 157 personnel from 100 households. The five companies are formed into a battalion, the battalion is the captain, the badge is two "Han" characters, 4 additional medical officers, and two reconnaissance sentinels, a total of 800 people. The second or third battalion became 1,000 households, 1,000 households were majors, the badge was two Han and one star, and the two staff generals had a total of 1,603 people. 8,000 households are an army, including a battalion of baggage, a battalion of engineering auxiliaries, generals, lieutenant colonels, two Han and two stars, adjutant generals, and four staff officers, and a total of 13,000 civilian officials. At the same time, it is also allowed to have a maximum of one hundred household guards, and have their own hundred household surname banners.

Of course. Now Wu Tianxiao only has more than 3,000 troops. In addition to Wu Dayou's promotion to the camp household guard Zhoushan Islands, and Jia Youshi to the camp household guard Tamsui City, Yang Hongju and Chen Minzhi were also promoted to assistant households, and in addition to bringing their own 100 household teams, they also had to assist Wu Dayou and Jia Youshi. And Jiang Zhuang and Tan Lun were also promoted to camp households, and Chen Minxin and Shen Nanshan were auxiliary camp households, forming two pro-guard battalions to follow Wu Tianxiao. Teyside took Zou Datan and Dadaru to become a hundred guards, forming a hundred-man warrior team and becoming an additional guard by Wu Tianxiao's side. Wu Tianxiao himself called himself the marshal and commanded the armies.

In early April of the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539). After Wu Tianxiao dealt with the affairs of the eunuch Lai En after his death in Zhoushan, he took Yang Yinglian and Wang Cuiqiao to set off back to Tamsui City to expand various workshops on a large scale.

Wu Tianxiao took the Zhoushan, piloted the Tamsui and the Expedition, carrying a large number of saltpeter, red phosphorus and other raw materials, as well as the poor people recruited from Ningbo Prefecture and Zhoushan islands, and sailed towards Tamsui City along the familiar sea road.

The fleet sailed for a day and night, and then arrived at the northern area of Dongfan Island, where one or two hundred miles to the south is Dongfan Island, three or four hundred miles to the west is Fujian Chengxuan Administration, to the north and west is Zhejiang Chengxuan Administration, to the north and east is the port of Naha in the Ryukyus, and to the northeast is Fuso. This area is the only seaway for the ships of the Dongying Japanese to enter Fujian and Guangdong, and it is also the only seaway for maritime merchants from the north of Zhejiang to the south to Fujian and Guangdong, and it is the maritime transportation hub from the south to the north. Therefore, it is very common for pirates and pirates to come and go, and every time they pass by here, Wu Jiajun will habitually be on guard.

Really. Soon after the fleet sailed into the area, the lookout on the watchtower waved the flag, sounded the alarm bell, and shouted: "Ten miles ahead, there are unknown ships. ”

Wu Tianxiao was talking and laughing with Wang Cuiqiao and Yang Yinglian in the cabin, and after hearing the alarm, he said to the second daughter: "You two, please take a break here, I'll come to take a look." This area is often infested with pirates and pirates. But don't be careful. With the strength of my current fleet, even if three or five Japanese ships are killed together, it will not be profitable. With that, he went up to the deck to check on the situation.

Wu Tianxiao found from the telescope that there was a sea ship in front of him, and it was a little far away. When the fleet approached, it turned out to be a Fuso ship. Wu Tianxiao looked through the telescope that the sailman on the other mast's mast was a Fusang man, and ordered: "Flag commander, order the fleet to line up diagonally on the right side, advance at full speed, and prepare for battle." In Wu Tianxiao's opinion. Any Fuso ship that appears now will be treated as a Wako. Therefore, as soon as it was discovered that it was a Fuso ship, no matter what kind of ship the other party was, it was treated as a Japanese pirate. In fact, this is also forced by the actual situation. At this time, the Fusang ships that could appear on the coast of Daming basically carried Dongying Ronin. And there is no difference between the Dongying ronin and the Japanese at all.

As soon as the ship was moving at full speed, it quickly pulled into the distance. At a distance of five miles, the opposing ships realized that there were ships chasing after them. However, when the Fusang boat found that there was a boat chasing after it, not only did it not run away, but instead slowed down and waited, many of the Japanese on the ship actually crowded to the stern of the boat, and waved the sword in their hands and shouted, which made Wu Tianxiao very annoyed.

Wu Tianxiao was furious when he saw it: "The fleet is approaching the right side of the opponent, and the port side guns and bow guns are all in place." Just sink, don't take prisoners. ”

As Wu Tianxiao's order was given, the three sea ships approached the right side of the opposing ship diagonally. The Zhoushan has 24 guns, two bow guns, and ten port guns. The Tamsui had four guns, one in the bow and one on the port side. The Expedition has two guns and one in the bow. Fifteen guns were aimed at each other, waiting to be fired.

Wu Tianxiao saw that the two ships were still some distance apart, so he returned to the cabin and smiled at Wang Cuiqiao and Yang Ying: "Found a Japanese ship, the two young ladies are interested in seeing how Uncle Ben exterminates the Japanese invaders?" ”

That Yang Yinglian was obviously a little afraid of things, so she didn't say much. But Wang Cuiqiao is different, when he gets up to come out: "When you see the true colors of heroes." ”

Wu Tianxiao laughed when he heard this. He was also worried that Wang Cuiqiao would fall down due to the wind and waves when he walked on the deck, so he grabbed Wang Cuiqiao's thin waist with one hand and said, "Be careful." The waves are bumpy, I'll give you a hand. As he spoke, he took Wang Cuiqiao to the bow of the boat, and raised the glasses on his chest in front of Wang Cuiqiao: "You can use this thing to see the situation on the Japanese ship." “

Wang Cuiqiao raised her glasses curiously, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this thing was so magical, and she could clearly show the scenery in the distance. I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "I can see it so clearly." My lord. What is it? ”

Wu Tianxiao said: "This is called a telescope, which is made of transparent glass. This thing is a divine product no matter where it is. Wang Cuiqiao curiously used the telescope to look into the distance, but Wu Tianxiao took the opportunity to take advantage of her slender waist. At this time, there was a coquettish voice behind him: "My lord." ”

Wu Tianxiao looked back, but it was Yang Yinglian who also came out of the cabin, and was staggering from the hatch to the deck. Wu Tianxiao was careful that she fell, and hurriedly reminded: "Be careful." ”

This reminder seemed to come true, and when he saw Yang Yinglian unstable, he rushed towards Wu Tianxiao. Wu Tianxiao immediately let go of Wang Cuiqiao's small waist and held Yang Yinglian, so that he didn't fall.

Maybe it was the rough waves, Wu Tianxiao just let go of Wang Cuiqiao, and saw her shaking violently, and she also shouted: "Ah." Seeing this, Wu Tianxiao hurriedly stretched out another hand, and only then did he hold the two beauties in his arms.

At this time, Yang Yinglian pointed to the telescope in Wang Cuiqiao's hand and said, "My lord." What is it? Can I take a look at it too? ”

Wu Tianxiao hugged left and right, and naturally smiled: "Naturally, it's okay." ”

Wang Cuiqiao was also sensible, so she held up the telescope in front of Yang Yinglian and said, "Sister, take a look, this telescope is amazing." Things in the distance seem to be in front of you. ”

Yang Ying was also curious to hold the telescope and look around. When he noticed that the Japanese coward in front of him was wielding a sword, he was screaming. Then he lost his voice and cried out, "My lord." Those people are so fierce. ”
