Tianjin Port will be thawed at the end of February, the Australian immigration will be officially launched at the end of February, into February, the whole Shanghai is busy, the fourteenth son of the emperor Prince Yinzhen in the entire Australian immigration plan, Shanghai plays the role of transit, this pressure is naturally the greatest, as the transfer of the general dispatch of Wan Yan Haifeng and responsible for the temporary resettlement of immigrants of Shanghai County Zha Siting are busy all day and night without touching the ground.

There must not be the slightest negligence in the dispatch of ship branches, temporary resettlement of housing, the supply of food and production necessities for immigrants, the inspection and prevention of epidemics, and other piles and piles.

Zhang Yuanlong, who is responsible for dispatching sea ships to the south, has not been idle, every day with the big ship owners in the provinces and the small and medium-sized ship owners who constantly hear the wind, and assign the transfer task, not that no one wants to do it, but all the ship owners spare no effort to grab the task, all ship owners know that the greater the contribution to the transshipment of immigrants, the more advantageous they will be in the competition of routes in the future, not to mention that the transshipment of immigrants is also profitable, and it is strange not to fight!

Tang Degui, president of the Shanghai Sand Boat Association, was also so busy that he didn't even have time to drink tea, and with the news of the two blockbuster news of tens of millions of immigrants from Australia and the shipping of grain, the Shanghai Sand Boat Association immediately became a city, and all the owners of sand boats in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu immediately heard the news.

Now this situation, who still can't see clearly, with the support of the fourteenth prince of the emperor, the Shanghai Sand Boat Association is very likely to dominate the route of Tianjin, and if you don't join the Sand Boat Association, I'm afraid that you won't even have the opportunity to drink soup in the future.

Tang Degui was worried about the shortage of ships at hand, so naturally he did not refuse to come, and he was busy meeting with the major ship owners every day, talking about the division of shares, talking about the division of forces, and on the other hand, he also had to organize the supply of goods, and dispatched ships to prepare to go north to Tianjin.

Jiangning's weaving house has also been crowded with people recently, busy endlessly, Cao Yin, who was damned last year, is still alive and well, and the fourteenth master Yinzhen single-handedly took all the deficits of the Cao family, as if he moved away a thousand catties of boulder that pressed on his heart, he suddenly felt relaxed, and the fourteenth master has now won the battle for the crown prince, so that Cao Yin is glad for the decision of the year, he is fifty-five years old this year, looking at it, but he is becoming more and more energetic.

Cao Yin has been busy with the tasks assigned by the Fourteenth Master recently, sending secret agents to Taiwan, Nanyang, Australia and the coastal Qing vassal states, and developing contact points for flying pigeons to pass on the book in various places, forming a certain scale of communication channels.

Yinzhen's third-class guard Luo Jing also began to use the means of rivers and lakes to slowly infiltrate in Karopa, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, in order to be like Shanghai, and the slightest wind and grass can be known in advance.

The northeast monsoon prevails in the South China Sea in winter, and the currents flow southwestward in winter, and there are very few storms and bad weather in winter.

After a few days of sailing, Yinzhen and his entourage have arrived in the waters of the Xisha Islands, and when they have nothing to do, Yinzhen provoked a discussion on the wind direction, currents, and climate in the South China Sea.

Yinxiang clearly knew Yinzhen's long-term plans for the vassal states of Nanyang, and after Shi Shibiao led the naval expedition, the entire situation in Nanyang had to be controlled by the Fujian Navy.

Yinzhen and the two of them stirred up for two days, then he took a step out, gathered the outstanding cadets in the navy, and explained to them some basic knowledge of the sea on the spot, he can not remember much, and it is very incomplete, but the most basic monsoons and currents can still remember some, as the so-called master led the door, and the cultivation is in everyone, what he can do is to instill these most basic things into these naval seeds, and let them go all over the world and oceans to record and explore and carry forward. …,

"According to the dominant factors in the formation of ocean currents, ocean currents can be divided into three types: wind-sea currents, density currents and compensating currents." Yinzhen said: "The wind and sea currents have been said, what is the density flow? First of all, we need to understand what density is, and in simple terms, it is light and heavy, and the light and heavy of sea water in different places is different. Just when he spared no effort to give a group of recruits a cramming education.

An officer on duty hurriedly rushed in and reported: "Dean, a suspicious fleet has been found in front, suspected to be pirates, and there are still six warships flying the flag of our navy chasing behind. ”

"Yes." Yinzhen nodded, and said disapprehantly: "How big is the pirate fleet."

"Report to the dean, there are eighteen in all, of which six are three-masted galleons of more than one thousand and a half materials, and the rest are all two-masted small sea ships."

As soon as they heard that the size of this pirate fleet was not small, the recruits immediately became excited, and they had a good show!

Yinzhen was also very interested, hurried to the deck, took the binoculars handed over and looked carefully for a while, all the ships of this fleet have no enlarged ship numbers, according to the newly issued maritime trade ship rectification regulations, all maritime trade ships must be marked with numbers on the hull, not the Qing Dynasty's merchant ships entering the South China Sea must hang the white dragon flag issued by the Qing Navy, this fleet has no ship number, and does not hang the white dragon flag, it is a pirate undoubtedly.

At this moment, there was a "boom" of cannons, it was the pursuing naval warship behind that was firing cannons, because the distance was long, the sound of cannons sounded dull on the sea, Yinzhen was wondering, how to fire cannons so far away, the officer on duty had already reported on the side: "The other party sent a flag, asking for interception." ”

Before Yinzhen could make a sound, Shi Shibi's voice sounded behind him, "Fourteenth Master, those pirates want to escape into the island and reef area. ”

"I'm short of a three-masted galleon." Yinzhen smiled and said: "Order the fleet to assemble and defend on the spot, Shi Shibiu, you take ten auxiliary ships to intercept them, and you can't let them enter the island and reef area and catch the king alive." ”

"The Last General's Order." Shi Shibiao bowed down to receive the order.

Seeing that he didn't have his own share, Yinxiang became listless when he arrived, Yinzhen glanced at him and said, "Brother Thirteen is not feeling well?" I'll find someone else to raid the formation. ”

As soon as he heard about the sweep formation, Yinxiang was immediately shocked, and said with a smile: "Look at what the fourteenth brother said, how can my body be uncomfortable?" ”

Yinzhen's face sank and said: "This group of pirates can escape so far under the pursuit of several auxiliary ships, it is not simple, you lead three fourth-class ships to hold the upper hand, you can't let them escape."

"Yes! Guarantee that not a single ship will escape. Yinxiang saluted with a military salute and said loudly.

The fleet that fled westward and prepared to avoid the islands and reefs was indeed a pirate, and it was also an old acquaintance, robbing passing merchant ships in the East China Sea, and committing a shocking case Zheng Duxin.

Since the Battle of Penghu, the Qing Navy wiped out the Spanish fleet in a battle after the news came out, Zheng Quanxin realized that the sea was afraid that the sky was about to change, he was in the southeast coastal area, heard the news and immediately led the fleet to the South Seas to temporarily avoid the limelight, unexpectedly, the navy turned around and went south to capture Manila, Garopa, control the entire South Seas, and then began to clear pirates everywhere.

Zheng did not have any other way but to avoid Bamba Kon in Siam for nearly a year, they spent all the money on the ship in Bamba Koong, and sold a few small sea boats, and finally felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so he wanted to go back to the East, but was discovered by the navy on the way, and asked to stop the ship for inspection.

Originally, seeing that the other party only had six warships, Zheng Quanxin also planned to bully more and less, and do one vote, as soon as he exchanged fire, he regretted that his intestines were blue, where is this fight? It was purely a beating, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back, and after losing four ships, he began to flee without his life, but fortunately it was a headwind, and the sails of the Western ships could not catch up with the sailboats they could borrow from the eight winds in the headwind situation. …,

Seeing that Zheng Quanxin, who had hope of escaping, was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he ran head-on into the southbound naval fleet, he knew in his heart that if he didn't go against the wind, he wouldn't be able to escape at all, so as soon as he was cross-minded, he was ready to avoid the island and reef area, relying on his familiarity with the waterway, and changed to a small boat to escape.

Shi Shibiao was also quite familiar with the waters in this area, and led ten auxiliary ships directly into the waterways of the island and reef area.

As soon as he saw this situation, Zheng Qianxin's face immediately sank, and he had encountered a hard idea, and the other party was also very familiar with the sea areas in this area, he turned his head and glanced at the several large warships patrolling upwind, and then looked at the several naval warships that followed, and he never thought that the decision to avoid the island and reef area would put him to death.

After a little hesitation, Zheng Qian shouted loudly: "Raise the red pennant!" ”

Ye Kai, the second leader, was startled when he heard the flag raised, and hurriedly said: "Big boss, once the fire is exchanged, we don't even have the slightest chance of winning." ”

Zheng Duxin roared with a hideous face: "You still want to surrender the fuck?" Surrender is death! Even if Lao Tzu dies, he will break off his two big teeth. ”

"There's no chance of collapsing, boss." Ye Kai said with a wry smile: "We don't even have a chance to fight hard." As he spoke, he pointed to the warships that were fighting in front of him.

Seeing that the other party raised the red pennant, Shi Shibiao knew that this was an order for the pirates to fight to the death, and he couldn't help but sneer: "You really want to fight hard?" After a moment's hesitation, he ordered: "All attention, aim at the waterway ahead, two volleys!" ”

As soon as the order was given, the sound of thunderous artillery immediately resounded throughout the sea, and the dense column of water immediately rose into the air.

Ye Kai's face turned pale, and the power of the salvo at close range was shocking, but it was too strong! After a pause, he came to his senses and said with surprise: "Big boss, they are a threat!" Threat! ”

"What? Lao Tzu still doesn't know it's a threat? Zheng said angrily: "Since it is a business with no capital, this day is a matter of time and time, I'm afraid!" Tell the brothers to drink a few sips of wine to strengthen their courage. ”……，
