In the 54th year of the Common Era (2695 A.D.), from the end of September, the Coast Guard carried out a comprehensive crackdown on bandits in Jinghai along the coast of Zhoushan, and a large number of Guangdong boat bandits active in the Zhoushan area were almost wiped out, and even the Portuguese pirates entrenched in the Ningbo area were completely wiped out. The coast guard also seized the ships of the Manchu government one after another, seized grain and silver, and also intercepted European and American merchant ships and collected taxes according to regulations.

The bandits under the banner of the Ming Dynasty occupied Miaozihu Island and plundered the East China Sea, and the Qing court was terrified of this, and sent a 600-mile rush in a row, strictly ordering the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang, supervising the sailors and generals, and throwing and volleying; And the land officers should be strictly guarded, and all the service periods should be annihilated, and no one should be missed.

Because the general army of Zhoushan Town is assisting in military affairs in the Jiangnan camp of the Qing army, cooperating with the Taiping army in Jiangning City. The Qing court had no choice but to urgently transfer the Fujian Navy Division to the north, and ordered Shao Canshuai, the governor of Caoyun and the minister of regimental training in Zhejiang, to garrison Dinghai City, and make sure to cooperate to suppress it, in order to eliminate the roots.

Just when the Manchu Qing Dynasty mobilized troops and horses in Dinghai, reorganized boats and ships, and tried in vain to suppress Mingxing Island. Mingxing Island is also in full swing for combat training.

On the morning of October 9, the quarantine bay of Mingxing Island was in full swing with bayonets. In the open space against the cliff in the quarantine bay, four large wooden stakes were erected, and the four big red-haired and blue-eyed noses were tied to the stakes, and their mouths were also gagged. Dozens of Portuguese pirates were tied up at the bottom of the cliffs, their mouths gagged. Just two days ago, these Portuguese pirates piloted the last six galleons to storm Minh Hing Island. Before they could reach the edge of the island, they were stopped by the Prince and the Coast Guard, and they were attacked head-on. All the pirates who did not die became prisoners, and the galleons became the trophies of Mingxing Island.

The Army Training Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Recruit Barracks, all carrying rifles with bayonets, marched in line in the open field. The three teams enclosed the stake from three sides, and added one side of the cliff to form a quadrilateral.

"Thrust-stab" Chen Yu gave the command.

"Kill~~" Tan Ke, Ban Xue, Kohler, and McClain shouted together, and they each held the steel gun and stabbed the red-haired man on the stake in the chest.

According to the essentials of the movement, Tan Ke pressed his arms and waist, kicked his right foot violently, and with a "flutter", the bright bayonet stabbed into the chest of the red-haired man. Tan Kexin said, it's so easy, it's like piercing a layer of leather. Then he quickly kicked the ground with his left foot, pushing his body backwards, and at the same time rotated the surface of the gun slightly to the left with both hands, and violently pulled the spear out.

The red-haired man gasped and trembled on the stake, blood spilling all over the ground.

Next Group

Qiu Feng, Wu Shimang, Zhang Yuba, and Ye Danqing carried steel guns and ran energetically.

"Prepare the gun"

When the four of them heard the command, they sent their guns out with a "bang", and they pulled out the bayonet fighting posture, their eyes fixed on the target in front of them, and they looked eager to try. The four red-haired men on the stake didn't know whether they fainted in pain or frightened, and they all drooped their heads.

On the top of the cliff, Bai Baoxiang smiled and said to Wang Tiezhu and Yunlan, "The morale is very high." Practice assassination with a living person, no one has an opinion. ”

"Our military group does not have a moral emperor, nor does we have a virgin. No one has an opinion. Wang Tiehammer sneered, "If you don't see blood, what kind of battle will you fight?" A few Portuguese pirates who committed the most heinous crimes did not dare to kill, and the army did not want to stay. ”

"These Portuguese pirates sent them to the door themselves, they deserve it!" Yun Lan was a little angry, "If our strength is poor, we will be the ghosts of their swords." ”

Bai Baoxiang approvingly looked at Yan Yuechen beside him, "It's still Yuechen's pills, after eating them, those recruits put up their bayonets, and they were all in good spirits." ”

Yan Yuechen was very reserved, he just lifted the glasses that looked like the bottom of a thick glass bottle, and didn't speak. Yan Yuechen graduated from Agricultural University with a major in biology and worked in a fertilizer factory for a year. He is currently a PhD student in genetics and breeding, specializing in rice.

When it came to the pills, Wang Tiezhu was a little uneasy, "Yue Chen, I always feel that something is wrong. After taking your pill, cowardly fellow, you dare to go one-on-three with a gun. I think the more powerful the drug, the greater the side effects. ”

Someone doubted his technical achievements, Dr. Yan shook his head proudly, "No, when penicillin came out, it was known as a miracle drug, and I didn't know if I was sick." However, the side effects of penicillin are small and can be used by pregnant women and children. In addition, the main ingredient of our pill is all-natural, ecdysone extracted from dew grass, and it has been used in clinical use for 40 years, and no significant side effects have been found. ”

ecdysone was first isolated from plants in the 70s by Dr. Vladimir N. Serov of Soviet Uzbekistan. Early use in athletes to increase muscle protein synthesis and improve recovery was a huge success.

Ecdysone has a remarkable ability to stimulate protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of muscle cells by increasing the assembly of amino acids into protein chains, and this ability can be traced back to the translation and migration of protein growth. Ecdysone is not only good for health but also safe, it helps to stabilize cells in the event of cortisol injury, normalizes energy synthesis steps (ATP and sarcosine) and improves liver function so that the organism can quickly adapt to environmental and stress changes.

"This ecdysone is so amazing?"

"Of course, we also specially made 00 tablets of 'Nirvana Dan', which in addition to ecdysone, also added heavy saponins, hy-lo-in, ginsenosides, aconitine, and male hormones. Heavy building saponins are used to stop bleeding, hy-lo-in relieves pain, ginsenosides improve nervous system activity, aconitine stimulates the heart, and male hormones enhance aggression. When you are dying, you can eat it and fight hard. Dr. Yan let out a piercing laugh proudly, "Hehe, after a thin guy eats it, he can pick up four strong men." ”

"Forget the Nirvana Pill, after eating it, you will collapse if you don't die." Wang Tiezhu asked with concern, "The pill we eat should be a purified crystal, right?" ”

"It's hormones, pure can eat the dead!" Yan Yuechen glanced at Wang Tiehammer with disdain, "We are a body-strengthening pill, mixed with starch to make a honey pill, and a little amphetamine." Amphetamines are the 'madness drug' used by the United States to fight World War III"

On the morning of October 2, a flotilla of 12 three-masted red single boats went north from the sea of Fujian, ran over the dividing line between green water and yellow water, and entered the waters of Zhoushan.

The red single ship is a kind of large cargo ship used by the people of Guangdong for ocean trade, this kind of ship is relatively large and solid, fast, and each ship can be equipped with twenty or thirty guns. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing government requisitioned these ships and equipped them with naval officers to suppress peasant uprisings.

What is a "Red Single Boat"?

The so-called red single ship is a Cantonese sailing ship, which is a kind of large cargo ship used by the people of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty for ocean trade. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, merchants engaged in overseas trade in Guangdong needed to obtain the approval of the government to build ships, and were given a red list for government inspection, so they were called red single ships.

To counter pirate attacks, ocean-going cargo ships were all armed with muskets and guns. Compared with the naval warships of the Qing army at that time, the red single ship was fast, the cabin was spacious, and it was convenient to install artillery, and the large red single ship could be equipped with more than 30 gun emplacements, and the small one could also be equipped with more than 20 gun emplacements, and the Qing army considered it to be "the most robust among the naval divisions".

The red single boat, which was praised by the Qing court as "magnificent, with the most cannons, like a fort", was actually only more than 0 zhang long and about 2 zhang wide, and only carried more than 0 officers and soldiers. There are more than 40 sailors on each red single boat, and more than 40 sailors are also equipped with sailors, who are in charge of guns and guns.

"It's back, the familiar muddy waters." Li Tingyu, the admiral of the Fujian Navy Division, stood at the bow of the boat, he picked up the clairvoyant mirror to look into the distance, and it took a long time before he put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, turned his head and said, "We have entered the waters of Zhoushan, everyone must be in good spirit, and do not let go of the pirates who are rising." ”

A thousand general shouted, "Lord Admiral, we are killing chickens with knives." The red single boat of our Fujian Navy Division is a strong boat, and this gang of bandits and pirates is not scared to the point that we are not scared. ”

The Qing court thought that the people who occupied Mingxing Island were armed with the Heaven and Earth Society and the Knife Society, and they were called bandit pirates.

Han Jiamo, the deputy general of the Fujian Penghu Association, has always been extremely brave in fighting, and he has no scruples when he speaks, "Miaozi Lake (Mingxing Island, formerly known as Miaozi Lake Island) is just a small island in the open sea, and these dog-day bandits still dare to work our Fujian sailors." When we arrived at Dinghai to rest for a while, we pounced on Miaozi Lake, and if the boat bandits were still there, we would send them directly to the sky with cannons. Li Tingyu was originally the governor of Zhejiang, and Han Jiamo was an old subordinate who had followed him for many years.

"That is, the Xiamen knife will be so powerful, we will destroy them anyway."

"We are hunting down boat bandits in Zhejiang, and it's not once or twice, it's definitely another hand-to-hand capture."

~~~~~~

There was a clamor on the deck,

Li Tingyu smiled reservedly, he tilted his head sideways, and said in a low voice, "Soldiers are impermanent, and they can't be taken lightly." Every time there is a war, it is necessary to be on the edge of the abyss and walk on thin ice in order to win. ”

"Lord Admiral, these guys may have run away a long time ago." Wu Quanmei, the chief officer of the Fujian Navy Division, has been chasing and suppressing boat bandits at sea for many years, and he is very experienced, "Pirate boat bandits have always been hateful, and they never stop in one place. ”

"I hope these bandits don't run away, open their eyes, and appreciate the power of our cannons." Li Tingyu handed the clairvoyant mirror to the soldiers standing on the side, "This is also their blessing." ”

Then he commanded in a loud voice, "Command, pull the sails, and go at full speed." Be sure to enter Dinghai Port before dark. ”

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gilded dozens of large and small warships moored in Dinghai Port with a layer of gold, and the turbid sea water in Dinghai Port was even more golden.

Zhoushan, in ancient times, was Wengzhou Mountain, that is, Dinghai Mountain. Dinghai harbor is wide and deep, surrounded by islands and reefs, and the largest is Panzhi Island. There is a small island in the port for Wukui Mountain, which is only 06 kilometers away from Dinghai, which is the natural barrier of Dinghai Port. The north of Wukui Mountain is the inner port of Dinghai, and the south of Wukui Mountain is the overseas port of Dinghai. There are two forts in Dinghai Port to guard his safety, one is Zhenyuan Fort and the other is Baoding Fort. Zhenyuan Fort is located on Dongyue Palace Mountain by the south gate of Dinghai City, and Baoding Fort is located on Wukuishan Island.

Standing on Wukui Mountain and looking far west, a flashing white spot appeared in the direction of the crab gate outside the Panzhi waterway. (Panzhi waterway is a waterway between Zhoushan Island and Panzhi Island, and Xiezhi Gate is the main channel for ships from the south to enter and exit Dinghai Port) It doesn't take long to get out, it turns out that a little white sail reflects the sunset on the horizon. Soon, there were more and more white spots, and a sail band composed of a string of white sails floated into the Panzhi waterway and surged along the waves to Dinghai.

"Woo......"

The desolate horn sounded on the Baoding Fort in Wukui Mountain. Soon, the horn of the far fort in Dongyue Gongshan Town also sounded.

As early as a few days ago, Shao Can, the governor of Caoyun and the minister of regimental training of Zhejiang, took 3,000 soldiers and horses into Dinghai City and occupied the general military mansion as his own line.

In the General Army's Mansion, Chi Jiangong, the deputy general of Dinghai Town, reported the situation to Shao Can, "Marshal, this Miaozihu Island is firing guns and cannons almost every day. Some people reported that the red-haired pirates once drove several red-haired boats to Miaozi Lake, but the result was that they did not return. ”

Chen Shizhong, the chief military officer of Wenzhou Town, who had just arrived in Dinghai at noon, grinned, "How many red-haired ships? ”

Chen Shizhong has also been fighting bandits at sea for several years, but he only dealt with Chinese pirates, and when he arrived at the red-haired pirate ship, he turned around and slipped back. The Portuguese pirates' big ships and cannons are not something they can deal with.

"Yes." Tong Zhi Miao Buying, who was sitting in the Dinghai Hall on the side, took over the conversation, and he was quite sure, "There are many fishermen on the sea, and this is what they have seen with their own eyes." ”

At this time, the horn sounded, and not long after the Chinese army came to report, the Fujian Navy Division led by Li Tingyu arrived.

"Great, the red single boat of the Fujian Navy Division has arrived." Shao Can gently stroked his goatee with his hand, "The red single boat is strong and sharp, and with the red single boat, it is ten percent sure to eliminate the pirates and bandits." Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, and Mr. Miao, I know that you will go to greet the old man soon. ”

Groups of soldiers rushed out of the south gate from Dinghai City and lined up on both sides of the pier. Chen Shizhong, the chief military officer of Wenzhou Town, Chi Jiangong, the deputy general of Dinghai Town, and Miao Buying, the same acquaintance of Dinghai Department, stood solemnly on the dock and greeted the arrival of the fleet.

Li Tingyu took Wu Quanmei, Han Jiamo and others ashore, and Chen Shizhong, Chi Jiangong, and Miao Buying stepped forward to greet them. Then a large group of men and horses entered the city.

In a silk shop on Dinghai City South Street, a pair of vigilant eyes watched all the movements outside the door, and the shortwave radio station in the inner room was nervously calling: "Mingxing, Mingxing, Dinghai call, Dinghai call." ”
