"Originally, I was suspicious that Shen Shen had set a trap in Haibu, but since he was leading the way in the boat, it seems that there is no evil intention."
Wang Tong leaned on the side of the boat and looked into the distance, and several attendants around him, hearing Wang Tong say this, Tang Shan on the side replied:
"Shen Yuan has been in the cabin for the past few days, except for eating and sleeping every day, but he looks like a hostage with peace of mind, but the small one has also walked this route, and the ship in front of him has not taken the wrong way."
said that it was to lead the way" Shen Vao naturally could not lead the way, but there were three 200-material Guangzhou ships leading the way in front, which should be the ships under the three water kings
"My lord, even if the pirates set up an ambush at sea, the villain is sure to give them fatal damage"
The tone of the voice is quite strange, but it is still the tone of Tianjin Weiguan's dialect, it is the captain of the Flying Deer, Juan, he said that he is quite confident, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and turned his head to look around
With the Feilu as the flagship, surrounded by three slightly smaller gunboats, the periphery is more than 70 ships of the size of the Guangdong Naval Division, although the number of ships is not much, but it is superior to the firepower, there are four ships of this type of Galen ship, adding up to almost 160 guns, among the warships of the Guangdong Naval Division, there are also many large ships, in addition to the officers and men of the Naval Division, there are five battalions of Huwei Army foot soldiers
"My lord, it's not far from the Iron Gate Pass, the next official will go back to his own boat to arrange preparations, so I will leave first."
Guangdong sailor Mai guerrilla bowed down and said to Wang Tong, Wang Tong nodded and agreed, this Mai guerrilla climbed down the rope ladder on the boat, and rowed towards his boat on the dinghy
Mai guerrilla disembarked, and General Tan on the side whispered:
"Mai Guerrilla has taken his family to Tianjin Wei's side, and the same is true from him to the next Feng general, and the adult's kindness and kindness still have an effect."
"Tianjin Wei is so rich and prosperous, although it is not a native of the hometown, but they also know where it is good and what is bad, go back and remember to say hello to Sun Dahai, all the generals of the Guangdong Navy Division to assist in the defense of Tianjin Wei are willing to move to Tianjin, all the costs are borne by our side, and they must be well settled after coming
General Tan agreed" Wang Tong patted the side of the ship, walked towards the cabin, shook his head and said:
"I thought I would be able to get on the big ship built by Tianjin Wei this year, but I didn't expect it to be on the Flying Deer"
"The wood of shipbuilding is soaked in seawater to not deform and not rot, not to cut down the tree to make a board can be used, it needs to go through a series of treatments, but many large trees in Liaozhen were piled up after felling for a few years, there is no place to use, but I didn't expect to catch up with Liaozhen Counselor Bei Shoulian and Tianjin Wei here trade, this is brought
Because it has been piled up for several years, it has been soaked all the way from the river and seawater, but it can be regarded as a rough treatment, and after the people at the shipyard inspect the wood, they can be used on the ship after simple treatment
But the big wood was bought by people everywhere, and the shipyard was also consuming, and now it is not easy to find such old materials, so it can only be that the big wood is cut down over there and processed by the ship soil itself
In addition to the "Zhenhai", the Tianjin Wei also built two gunboats, "Dinghai" and "Pinghai", both of which were about the same size as the Zhenhai, but the guns on the ship were more than those in Zhenhai, all of them were 40 guns, in addition to the 10 small guns of one catty on the deck, there were also 10 3 catties of guns, 15 of the 6 catties of guns, and 5 of the 10 catties of guns
The ten-pound cannon is one of the large-caliber guns that can be made in the workshop today, and it is quite inconvenient to move on land, but it is placed on the ship without delaying the movement of the ship
It took one day less than Wang Tong expected to go from Tianjin Wei to the Tiemen Pass in Jinan Mansion, "The three ships leading the way in front sent people to deliver the message, saying that the Tiemen Pass was the half-day journey ahead
……,……
Black Shark Sha Dacheng is not as vicious as his nickname, and he looks like he is just an honest fisherman, "The pirate leader elsewhere is wearing silk and satin on the sea, and he is still wearing a linen short shirt, which is quite honest."
But such an inconspicuous character, no one dares to underestimate it, when Sha Dacheng and Kou were on fire at sea, he bit the knife and jumped onto the other party's boat, killing fifteen people in a row, that is, this battle made him famous
There is also a saying among the people at sea, following Shen Vain can make money, following Gu Laohu can be happy, and following Sha Dacheng will not be angry, "Sha Dacheng is the best for the people below, what kind of wealth and goods he gets, and everyone's distribution is the most fair, so Sha Dacheng's subordinates are quite loyal, and they can fight to the death when they are desperate."
Sha Dacheng was discussing in a house in Tiemenguan at this time, this place of Tiemenguan is naturally not as good as Pinghu, in fact, there are no passing merchant ships, and the local pirates in Shandong grabbed things in Dengzhou, Laizhou, and came here to sell, because Jinan Mansion and Dongchang Mansion are the two richest prefectures in Shandong, and the goods are easy to sell
But now, even this is not often the case that people can make a living at sea, so they go to work as sailors on merchant ships, which is not only risk-free, but also well-paid, and now the sea route is flourishing
"It turns out that we have a bad relationship here, and we don't want this person to do this business now" I asked yesterday, saying that I can't receive any valuable goods, and second, I will buy local property and sell it to Tianjin Wei, there is oil and water"
Listening to the report from his subordinates, Sha Dacheng was stunned and asked in a muffled voice:
"What? Didn't even go to Tianjin Wei to do business? ”
There is a risk in harboring stolen goods, but if you collect stolen goods at a low price and sell them, the profit is also very large, otherwise who would take the risk to do this business, hearing Sha Dacheng ask, his subordinates also smiled bitterly and said:
"Now how can any valuable goods come here, the big ships on the sea are hanging the flag of the insurance company, and if this flag is moved, not to mention the Tianjin Wei side, the people under Shen Vao's hands will find the door, Shen Vain will not come to the door, what will happen to the Goryeo Sea monkeys, everyone is looking at it."
The sea monkey was hit by the gunboat of Tianjin Wei, the house was washed, and the person was nowhere to be found.
Sha Dacheng shook his head and said in a muffled voice:
"Go and tell them, we are not here to sell the stolen goods this time, let them collect some goods that can be sold to the country, we also have the specialties of the country here, and we will do ...... business."
After saying a few words, Sha Dacheng's tone suddenly became stern, and he said:
"Restrain the good sons, no one can go to the ships of Tianjin Wei, causing trouble, Lao Tzu cut them and threw them into the sea to feed the fish"
"Big brother, don't worry, we know the stakes, and we are tightly bound below, and we won't do anything out of the ordinary, but they can't control the flying fish that come with them."
Sha Dacheng frowned, slapped the table heavily, and said in a rough voice:
"If you can't control it, you can get rid of him, and we have to run this iron gate as our own house......"
The words are not finished yet" but heard a noise outside, Sha Dacheng and his people were not discussing in some deep house compound, but a dilapidated house in the middle of the village, and when they heard the movement outside, they all stood up immediately, and the weapons were already in their hands, and someone hurriedly pushed open the door and asked:
"What's wrong?" Baidu is decadent at dawn
"Big brother, there are a lot of big ships outside, including gunboats with wide ships and ghosts."
The room immediately fell silent, everyone looked at each other, and when Sha Dacheng spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said:
"Tianjin Wei's sailor actually came over......"
"Flying fish, this gang of miscellaneous people, actually pulling the sails and running, what should we do, big brother?"
A person stumbled in outside, and when the people in the house heard each other, they all scolded, Sha Dacheng rubbed his hand a few times, and said astringently:
"Flying Fish, they only have more than 30 boats, they can take advantage of loopholes, we have so many boats, even if we run out, I'm afraid we will lose most of ......."
…………”……“
"Flag, let the three ships of Dinghai, Zhenhai and Pinghai line up, connect with Feilu taro, and Feilu continue to move forward"
Juan shouted loudly from the helm, the helmsman nervously steered, and the sailors were busy on the ship under orders, and now the large and small ships docked on the shore could be seen
The four gunboats parallel the ship's side and the coastline, slowly lined up, Wang Tong and others also stood on the helm, watching Juan command here, seeing that the ship was almost in the right position, the sails began to be lowered, and Juan shouted loudly:
"Inform the ships to prepare for the bombardment, and the flag tells the Mai guerrillas to prepare for the ......"
There were sailors on the deck running towards the cabin, and some people lifted the small guns on the deck and began to load ammunition, Wang Tong looked at the coastline quite easily, and said with a smile:
"If I'm on the shore, I'll get everybody ashore...... There are really fools who come out ......."
"My lord, what should I do?"
"Naturally, it is to sink him, and it will also let the people on the shore know that it is powerful."
There are seven ships that have gone to sea, which are in the style of red-headed ships, and among the ships on the shore, they are also considered big ships, all of them are about 500 materials, and there is wind on the sea, and the sails of these ships are full, and the degree is accelerated
However, these seven ships were really insignificant compared to the fleet from Tianjin Wei, and after hearing Wang Tong's order, Juan ordered the arrangement again, and the Feilu raised the sails again, and the hull slowly turned, and Zhenhai, who followed behind, did the same
Originally, the four gunboats happened to be blocked on the sea road, this side was deflected, as if the gap was opened to let the seven ships pass, those ships went fast with full sails, and soon came to this side, at this time, the four gunboats of Tianjin Wei also almost completed the direction adjustment, the two sides were almost parallel, and the distance was close enough
"Open the gun"
Juan shouted on the helm, and the sound of shouting and firing under the deck also came, Wang Tong grabbed the railing on the side with a familiar way, and the sound of thunder roared, the hull of the ship was suddenly crooked, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the four gunboats opened fire one after another......
