Chapter 191: Sword Light and Sword Shadow
Of course, Chang Runing, who has been practicing for a long time, still has a follow-up move.
"I heard that Zhao Qianhu built a shipyard, an iron factory, and a kiln in Shidao, which is very prosperous, and I don't know if I can let this general take a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 He believes that there will be something that interests him, and if he investigates it himself, he will definitely get some of the first and last things.
The words were polite, but he believed that Zhao Lie would not dare to stop him, after all, Shidao was also the jurisdiction of Jing Haiwei.
"It's okay for adults to want to go to Shidao, but many of the workshops in Shidao are the private property of my father and some adults, and my subordinates don't know the details. Zhao Lie replied with a smile.
The implication is obvious, I want to check the various workshops on Shidao, it is not a thousand households, it is not within your authority, ask the owner of the workshop, I will not wait.
"Ben is going to be like this." Chang Runing didn't expect Zhao Lie to refute in person, and he felt completely embarrassed, and his tone was not good, after all, Shidao was also his jurisdiction, and it was not indispensable for him to go to inspect his own house, of course, there was some trouble with private property, but it was also in his thoughts.
"My father has placed some guards in Shidao, and if the adults break in, the knives and guns will be eyeless." Zhao Lie put away his smile and replied coldly.
Since the other party can't let him go, why avoid it.
In fact, it is okay to let Chang Runing and others go to Shidao, and now the taboo craftsman camp, salt farm, Galen shipbuilding, horse farm, and broken army have all left Shidao, but Zhao Lie is only afraid that Chang Runing will put forward some non-specific requirements after arriving in Shidao.
After all, there will still be some traces left in Shidao, and it will be very troublesome if Chang Runing sends someone to stay in Shidao. Du Li, Wang Quan and others will definitely be busy.
Or face to face refusal. Don't hide it from anyone. In this way, even if Chang Runing sent someone to investigate, it was sneaky, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so it was very easy to take precautions, but he just found some rumors chasing after the wind and shadows.
Hiss, the people around him took a breath of cool air almost at the same time, and the words of the two were too swords, making the already cold air around them become cold.
Nima. This all mentions that the sword and gun have no eyes, this is a response between subordinates and superiors, it seems that the two armies are facing each other. The crowd looked at each other, and the scene froze for a while.
Zhao Da and Yu Dabao led more than 100 guards to surround them, holding sabers and looking at Chang Runing and the others with fierce eyes.
Chang Runing's pupils shrank, he was also numb in his scalp, Zhao Lie almost openly threatened him, he was really bold, if it was an ordinary general, he would have already ordered someone to take it.
But look at the more than 100 cronies gathered around Zhao Lie. All of them are fierce and abnormal, and they are all ruthless characters who have seen blood. Zhao Haiming is afraid that there must be hundreds of such family members there.
He is doing someone else's errand, he can help, not with the Zhao family to the death, if Zhao Lie has a good bad here, he believes that Zhao Haiming will definitely retaliate with all his might, his own family is in danger, just bear it, we will have a period later.
Chang Runing threw away his sleeves and led more than 30 subordinates back to Jinghaiwei, which can be described as a feather return. On the way, he didn't go to the other Qianhu Offices at all, and returned directly to the Acropolis, reflecting that the purpose of his trip was obviously for Zhao Lie's subordinates.
Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, and Liu Ping were nervous in a cold sweat after watching a wonderful official fight scene, but fortunately, the two protagonists didn't care about them as cats and dogs, and they could be regarded as having escaped, and they were also shocked by the depth of the contradiction between Jinghai Wei Zhengyin and Zhao Lie, and at the same time, they also had their own thoughts, and they had their own plans for where they were.
Zhao Lie is leisurely preparing for the construction of the city of Liaomin, and he believes that Chang Runing will also do enough work in this matter.
Wu Qun and Tang Xianwen selected 5,000 of the remaining more than 20,000 Liao people who were in good health, and organized them into thousands of generals, hundreds of generals, and even teams.
Zhao Lie specially instructed Tang Xianwen, the leader of the team, and Wu Qun must be familiar with Shi Chang and others this time, and told them to prevent outsiders from mixing in, and at the same time issued a reward, found outsiders of unknown origin, etc., and caught one person and rewarded one or two silver. Zhao Lie vaguely felt that this time the city was built, I was afraid that Chang Runing would do something in it.
Francisco. As the first mate of the St. Phil, López escorted four Macao ships to Nagasaki, Japan, together with the Jeju Naval Division's Huo Qu Sick and Chen Tang, a 300-ton Galen battleship, one of the two largest tonnage of the five warships in Macao, which joined the two Jeju naval warships off the coast of Macao.
As Alexandra's twenty-five-year-old brother, he has complicated thoughts about the Jeju Mingren, and for a member of the Macau Navy who knows the most about the embarrassing situation of Macau, Francisco, who has suddenly appeared as an ally, has been fighting alone for several years and regards Macao as his home, after all, the Macao battleship is no longer a kitten or two in the vast sea, and I heard that the Jeju Mingren have twenty or thirty Galen battleships.
However, he was extremely disgusted with Zhao Lie, the leader of the Jeju Ming people, and semi-forcibly abducted his only sister to the north, which made him frightened for two whole years, although Zhao Lie had planned to hold a wedding with his sister, but it could not change Zhao Lie's evil intentions, and Francisco could not imagine that his sister could be happy forever after marrying a pirate.
Three warships escorted the escort to the left and right, and four merchant ships were sandwiched between them and headed northeast.
Except for the initial supply of food and fresh water, the Ming warships did not have contact with the Macao warships, but only silently escorted, and the Jeju sailors were rotating escorts one after another, so the sailors of the Broken Army could withstand it.
Francisco took a closer look at the Akito sailors, who were skilful and confident in their movements, and showed great ability to sail long distances, which he had never seen in Akito before.
Seven sea-going ships entered the coast of Fujian four days later, and the fleet was put on alert, as this was the best place for the Dutch to plunder Portuguese merchant ships.
A day later, at the end of the hour, there was a little sail shadow in the north of the fleet, and the damned Dutch appeared, and according to the rules of both sides, the Saint-Phil continued to escort the ship, and the two Ming warships formed a battle formation under the sound of their guns.
The current captain of the Huo Qubing is Fei Tieyun, who was transferred from the Canglong, and he is also a veteran sailor for more than ten years in his early thirties, and he has served on the Galen for three years, and now he has been in charge of the Huo Qubing for more than half a year.
This escort is the first time of Huo Quai, but according to the introduction of the fleet commander Li Hu, in addition to the first escort did not encounter the Dutch warship, the second time it encountered the Dutch warship, but the Dutch is just a battleship and a clipper, did not dare to move, just tracked for a day, this is the third escort It seems that it has also been encountered, and it seems that it will be with the Dutch in the future.
Fei Tieyun watched from a distance with a telescope as the two Dutch warships of two or three hundred tons approached the fleet.
"Warning shots." Fei Tieyun ordered.
At the place where they gathered four miles, Huo Quai's horn sounded two naval guns, and the projectiles splashed on the sea surface of ten miles, and the meaning of warning was obvious.
The Dutch battleship continued without pause.
"Open fire." Fei Tieyun ordered.
The six twelve-pounder and eighteen-pounder cannons on the side of the flagship, the Huo Quai, began to roar, and then the six twelve-pounder and eighteen-pounder cannons of the Chen Tang also began to fire in a salvo, and the artillery battle began.
When the distance was two miles, the shelling of both sides hit each other, the broken sails flew and the fragments of broken planks were everywhere.
At this time, the two Dutch warships suddenly turned and left, Fei Tieyun ordered the craftsmen and sailors on board to repair the ships with a gloomy face, according to the requirements of concealing the Tiago guns, if the Dutch warships attacked and harassed only with cannons, if the Dutch warships broke through a mile, they would use the Tiago guns to bombard and sink the enemy ships, so as not to let the secret of the Tiago guns spread.
Only then did Fei Tieyun think that he could make a war feat now, because the Dutch people were about to break through within a mile, but the cowardly Dutch people escaped. Of course, Fei Tieyun's mood was not good.
Francisco carefully observed the artillery battle between the two sides with a telescope, and he estimated that the firing time of the three guns on both sides was basically the same, and even the salvo of the Ming battleship was a little earlier than the salvo of the Dutch.
This proves that the enemy gunners are well trained, and the Ming sailors on the ship are extremely calm, working as usual under the gunfire, completely unaffected by the gunfire, both of which show that the Ming sailors and gunners are not new to naval warfare but have been in battle for a long time, and the Ming people have only been in the Galen fleet for three years, which can be described as rapid progress.
Fei Tieyun took a sip, they are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, these Dutch people clearly want to test the combat power of the frigate, and see that the frigate has fierce artillery fire, and it is two against three, so they slip away, but after this battle, the Dutch will gather more ships to participate in the war, and they must be guarded against.
Fei Tieyun did not order to slow down, but only ordered to repair the damage during the voyage, after all, this place was still under the control of the Dutch, so it was not to be careless.
The fleet continued to travel northeast at a speed of three knots, while the sailors were busy repairing the broken sails and planks, but fortunately, the sailors had been in battle for a long time, and these repairs were all done with ease, and in less than half a day, they could continue the voyage at full speed of five knots.
Three days later, the fleet encountered another Dutch warship, this three-hundred-ton battleship saw that the Portuguese fleet composed of seven Galen did not act rashly, but only followed behind the fleet, and after an hour and a half, the two broken warships Huo Qu Sick and Chen Tang turned and rushed towards the enemy ship, and the Dutch battleship hurriedly turned its bow and fled south, one against three had no hope of victory.
In order to cope with the detection of the shogunate's navy, the Huo Quzhi and Chen Tang flew the Portuguese flag, and at the same time, the Macao Portuguese were also on board to prevent the Japanese from boarding the ship for inspection. (To be continued.) )
