"Master Su Songshui? This is fresh, playing sampans in Taihu Lake has also gone to sea, not afraid of the waves overturning themselves? The Zhoushan team, which had successfully performed on the Baixi River in Ninghai and Shujiang in Taizhou, finally got a chance to breathe, and for these men who made the sea their home, the newly built Su Song sailors of the Qing court were just a group of household dogs that could not go to the sea.

Looking at the menacing bird boats, anyone can see the opponent's ill intentions, but Su Song's sailor division has just been formed, and this first battle is not necessarily a turn around and run away, besides, now it is smooth sailing, and turning around will be against the wind and water, so out of the superposition of various considerations, the two Qing army patrol sand boats went straight up.

Before the ship could get closer, the bow cannon of the Qing army fired. Because the Su Song Naval Division was originally formed by the associations and battalions along the Taihu Lake, the tonnage of these two sand boats was small, and even the bow gun was only about four or five hundred catties, and it was not a Hongyi cannon or a Franc machine breech gun, but it was an old-fashioned Zhankou general, so the range and power were not very good, but the sound was like a war drum to inspire the Qing army.

The Zhoushan team, which was accustomed to water battles, didn't even make a sound, but just approached with all their might, but the Qing army didn't see that the boat of the Zhoushan team was not aimed at them directly, but at a slight angle, and the two sides passed by.

When the three boats staggered, the noisy Qing army fired a large number of rockets, and then there were fire bottles and other things that fell to the sea between the ships because of the distance, and then flickered and sank into the sea. As for the rockets that hit the bird boat, Oita was blocked by a baffle covered with thin mud, and even a small part of the ship nailed to the mast and deck of the ship was annihilated by the prepared Zhoushan team with fine sand, and only one canopy was ignited, but the cheers of the Qing army did not last long to see the knife on the bird boat falling into the canopy, and the canopy, which had not yet caused a bigger fire, counterattacked the sand boat after the fall of the Qing army under the action of the wind.

Just when the Qing army sand boat of the rearguard was busy using bamboo poles to pick up the flying canopy, the Zheng army bird boat began to turn around, and the Qing army garrison began to sit on wax, you must know that the original sand boat was downwind, and the bird boat was against the wind, which can be said to have the upper hand, but now the shape is reversed, which is extremely unfavorable to the Qing army. Turn around, face the tailwind with a headwind, and it is definitely yourself who suffers; Regardless of running away, it's certain that the sand boat can't outrun the bird boat, what should I do?

Before the Qing army could figure out how to deal with it, the bird boat that had turned around began to exert its might. The same is the bow gun, the rate of fire and range of the 800-pound Franc cannon far exceed that of the Qing army, although the undulating sea caused most of the shells to be missed, but the occasional blind cat touching a dead mouse is enough to make the backward sand boat suffer enough.

In fact, the power of the Franc machine is also a little weak, but the sand boat that the Qing army is sitting on was originally an inland river specification, and the board is extremely thin, so it only penetrated the deck and came out of the body without exhausting the remaining momentum. While the Qing army was rushing to block, they exchanged shots with the approaching bird boats. It's a pity that because of the problem of wind, the rockets shot out of the rocket this time deviated from the target, but Zheng Jun's rocket ignited Pengfan. Another shot was hit, this time the Franc cannon was loaded into the gun is a shotgun, and as a result, the Qing army who was fighting the fire was shot down a large area, and the fire naturally could not be saved.

The bird boat quickly sailed past the hull burning like a volcano, and collided with another Qing sand boat that had just made a difficult U-turn. It was too late, but it was too soon, and dozens of sailors of the Zhoushan team, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped over with various weapons and fought with a group of Qing troops on the narrow deck. The Qing army naturally fought to the death, and the Zheng army had just solved an enemy, and the morale was high, so they were ruthless, and the fighting between the two sides was extremely tragic.

It was tragic to be miserable, but in the case of the accurate sniper of the archers on the side of the bird boat, the advantage was unswervingly tilted towards the Zheng army, and when the Qing garrison finally fell in a pool of blood, the battle was declared over.

"It's a lot of copper." Zheng Jun, who was examining his own wounded while mending the wounded of the other party, commented on his own booty. "How many copper coins can be made if they are melted?"

The speaker had no intention of listening, and the captain who was wrapping up his wounds on the side grinned and said: "Well said, whether it is coinage or bronze casting, it is not better to pull it back than to be close to the cannon."

"Although Wuxia Island is a little far away from us, it is on the way from Dongning, Qiongzhou and Guangnan to Xiboni, if we can also build a port there, we can use Chaowu Fort as a horn." Gao Cheng, who had repaired his sails, soon returned to Chaowu Castle, but this bizarre situation and the hundreds of Chinese immigrants on the island gave him great inspiration. "If we can find another suitable position in the South Seas, although not to mention that the Xibo Ni Governor's Mansion will be impregnable, at least Hongyi will not want to seal us."

"What do you mean by the three holes of the cunning rabbit?" Gong Changming frowned. "It's a good idea, but we only have these manpower now, and we are all tightly guarded, how can we have the strength to distribute it to Wuxia Island, let alone say anything about the third cave."

"The Zhang clan on Wuxian Island has some regimental training militia in their hands, and the garrison is not a big problem, as long as we hold the strength of the sailors, they will not dare to turn their faces against us." Gao Cheng explained. "I mean, maybe we can give them a name first, and then arrange for the garrison to go over when we have enough manpower."

"It's doable." Jiang Tao nodded. "But in what name can you appease the other party without encroaching on the system?"

"How about the Xibo Ni Governor's Mansion is the seven-pin Wuyu Town Guard." Chang Yong mentions yรฌ said. "If you give the right to supervise the flood soldiers, it will be considered a real one." Looking at the few people whose brows were condensed into Sichuan characters, Chang Yong explained. "Although it may conflict with the feudal system, no, it will be cheaper to act outside."

"You don't have to give the Zhang family such a high status." Gao Mingyi, the leader of the fifth team of the infantry team, sneered. "A few of us were also killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and now we are only from the seventh grade and the eighth grade, why should we press on our heads as soon as they come, with my idea, give a position of Licheng, and then give a flood soldier leader,"

Licheng and Fangling are the first-level units below Mingzheng County, and according to the current system, they can enjoy the treatment of the seventh grade, as for the leader of the Xun soldiers, it is okay to give a deputy lieutenant from the eighth grade of Baoyi, and it is also possible to give an lieutenant of the eighth grade of Xiuwu, which is just within the scope of Tian Chao's authority of the fake governor.

"I think it is possible, and these two positions may be a test of their loyalty." Zhuge Maple Leaf agreed with both hands. "If the desire is difficult to fill, it will naturally be scattered in two, anyway, there are more islands in the South Seas, and we don't have to count on them."

Gao Cheng's face changed slightly, of course, he didn't ask for something from the other side, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate to send the other party's heart to serve the country with just two official hats: "Xia Guan thinks that it is still necessary to send people to be stationed on the island, and in addition, is it necessary to supply some firearms and other weapons to the island." โ€

"Firearms?" Zhuge was a little reluctant. "We can't exchange firearms for our own use or gold, so how can we support them?" Having said that, in order to envelop the power of Wuxiyu, he still gritted his teeth. "Why don't you give them a dozen shark skin armors, as for the iron tools, there are still a lot of weapons captured from the Popols last time, melt them down and make some farm tools and iron pots to send them."

Gao Cheng still had something to insist on, Tian Chao waved his hand: "The matter is settled." โ€

Saying that, Tian Chao took out the key to open a small iron box, took out a blank edict, quickly filled in a few sentences, and then stamped the seal and handed it to Zhuge Maple Leaf, Zhuge Maple Leaf examined it and took out the seal and stamped it, and finally the prison officer Su Ping also did the same, and finally the edict was handed over to Gao Cheng.

"Gao Hujun has worked hard, I'm running to Wuxian Island, and you can also bring the things approved by Lord Zhuge with you." Gao Cheng nodded helplessly, and listened to Tian Chao continue. "In the future, Captain Gao will be in charge of liaison with Wuxiyu, but don't be too frequent, just once a month." Gao Cheng responded, and listened to Tian Chaodao at this time. "In addition, the idea of the three caves of the cunning rabbit mentioned by the high protector before, the official thinks that it is okay, the lord sent us to Xibo Ni not only to dig gold, but also to look at Hongyi." Tian Chao paused. "Now Lord He is in charge of the line between Zhang Mingcheng and Batavia, and the Gao Protector is in charge of the line of Wuxiayu, Lord Zhang, the responsibility of finding suitable islands and coastal points will be handed over to you." Zhang Shuiyou buzzed in response, but Tian Chao's words were not finished. "But before that, you should go to Jinlan first, discuss with Cai Dudu of Jinlan, and find a way to recruit some additional immigrants from Qiongzhou."

"Dudu," Zhuge Maple raised his eyebrows. "The immigration matter has its own arrangements, let's do our own thing without telling us, will there be any opinions from above, the governor, the matter is serious, it is better to be cautious."

"Brother Zhuge also knows, without enough manpower, a single super martial fort can't be developed, let alone centipede and the third cave." Tian Chao explained. "Now that the immigrants from Qiongzhou are first transported to Dongning and then to Xiboni, why is there any trouble?" Tian Chao's statement is not correct, in fact, most of the immigrants transported to Xiboni, Cam Ranh and Labuan boarded the ship directly from Qiongzhou, but because the ship also carried some supplies from Dongning, the people present were not very clear about the process. "I'm also worried about the Lord." Looking at Zhuge Maple Ye's solemn expression, Tian Chao smiled. "Deputy envoy and rest assured, I have my own measure, and I will not spoil the national policy of the Lord to immigrate to the real platform."

"I hope so," Zhuge couldn't restrain the reckless Tian Chao, and the expression on his face was not good-looking. "Governor, do it yourself"

The short meeting was over, and everyone was about to leave the conference hall, when Tian Chao stopped Gao Cheng: "You kid is so enthusiastic, say, did you hook up with a woman from a good family on the island?" โ€

Gao Cheng was hesitant, but Tian Chao threatened: "Don't you say that someone will say that a boatload of people shouldn't be as timid as you." โ€

"No matter how fat my courage is, I don't have as much fat as you." Gao Cheng muttered, but gave in under Tian Chao's threatening eyes, and said stupidly. "So what?"

"I remember that you had a daughter-in-law in Dongning who didn't pass through the door." Tian Chao's words made Gao Cheng's face change greatly, but it caused Tian Chao to laugh. "What are you panicking about, what's the big deal about the man's three wives and four concubines, it's difficult to do it now in Dongning called women and boys, but if you have the ability, what if you have the ability, what if you have a good time, but I can tell you, you can't patronize yourself, Xiboni still has hundreds of brothers unsettled, you have to find a way to make it clear to the Zhang family, if you have a daughter, you can rest assured to marry"
