"What the hell is the weather." Wearing a sheepskin jacket, a kunhide cover, a waterproof raincoat made of eucommia gum, and a sheepskin glove, Xin Jingyan, the commander (long) of the [Yisu No. 7] letter ship, looked at the waves that rushed onto the deck from time to time and cursed. "It's cloudy or not, it's sunny or sunny, and the wind is so strong that it doesn't look like a snowy day."

"My lord, don't say it, if it weren't for this weather, how could we not have alarmed the beacon tower of the Tartars when we crossed the line of Temple Island." Tan Jingui, the deputy commander (first officer) and navigator of the ship, who was also dressed up, looked a little optimistic. "Besides, if it really snows on this day, I'm afraid it will freeze in the Bohai Sea."

"It's good to freeze, so we don't have to come in to see it." Xin Jingyan looked into the distance, and he couldn't see anything in the hazy way, let alone the 6 places in the distance, and the Qing army in the 6 places. "These hateful beacons, sooner or later, they will be eliminated one by one, and the province will be in the way to look at it."

"Save it, it's not like we haven't pulled out the beacon tower on Temple Island, but as a result, we walked on the front foot, and the back foot was built again." Tan Jin Gui responded disapprehantly. "Unless we garrison troops on it, but if that's the case, I'm afraid it's the Qing captives who will come to besiege us." Tan Jingui pointed to the distance with the rough movements of a man on the sea. "Actually, it's blind to stay, just a few lighthouses on the island, you can still show us at night, joke!"

"That's what I said, but it's always uncomfortable to sit there." Xin Jingyan also has his reasons. "Haven't you heard, Jianyu is going to set up a fort on the front line of the Miaodao Islands and Dangji Island, and then add a large array of 10,000 ships to snipe us."

"Turret? What's the use, how far can it be fought, it's just a big artillery battle, as for the big array of 10,000 ships, it's a joke, not to mention whether the Qing court can get together 10,000 fishing boats, even if there is, if you want to use these to block our gunboats, isn't that wishful thinking? Tan Jin Gui sneered. It seems that Qingyu has not yet accepted the lesson, and is still counting on the old trick of attacking ships with fire. ”

Xin Jingyan was about to say something more, when suddenly the lookout post on the mainmast shouted, "[Jingsu No. 11] report." ”

The lookout post suddenly became dumb as he spoke, and then exclaimed in a higher-pitched voice: "There are three Qing Gailun warships, the direction is north-east, and they are heading in the direction of the Liaohe estuary, seven knots!" 【Jingsu No. 11】Please deal with it like this? ”

"Impossible," Xin Jingyan jumped up suddenly, and then rushed to the main mast, three steps and two steps straight to fight, but he kept saying that it was impossible, but in his telescope's line of sight, there were white sails, and even more, the other party seemed to have appeared in his own line and had begun to turn. "This, this ??????"

Judging from the degree of the two sides and the wind direction at that time, it would take half an hour for the two sides to make contact, so Xin Jingyan still had time to make a decision, but [Yisu No. 7] and [Jingsu No. 11] were only first-class letter ships equipped with twelve two-and-a-half-inch light guns, so even if the Galen on the opposite side was only a commercial type with a small amount of artillery fire, Xin Jingyan and the others were powerless to compete.

"Order [Jingsu Eleven] to follow the ship and continue to move forward." After weighing it for a while, Xin Jingyan made a decision. "Until you can see the muzzle of the cannon on the other side." The banner went out, and soon received a response from the other party's obedience, Xin Jingyan slipped down from the mainmast, and asked Tan Jingui with a strange expression. "When did the Tartars have Galen?"

"Isn't it a ship that sneaked in to trade?" Tan Jin Gui put forward a hypothesis. "It's not impossible."

"No matter, I'll wait until I get closer." Xin Jingyan was puzzled, and then simply didn't think about anything. "What the hell is it, we'll find out then."

The two fleets moving in opposite directions approached quickly, and soon the observation posts on the Xia Junxin ship reported one after another: "The enemy ship is flying the Yellow Dragon Flag, yes, it must be the sailor of the Qing Dynasty." ”

This astonishing appearance made Xin Jingyan and Tan Jingui's face darken even more, so Xin Jingyan ordered: "Keep approaching until you can see the size of the enemy ship and the number of guns." ”

Tan Jin Gui also gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that [Nusu No. 3] and [Kangsu No. 9] didn't have Galen when they cruised last time, when did three of them pop up at once." ”

"That's not right, the Tartars have already built boats, but they have always been in the river." Xin Jingyan and Tan Jin Gui glanced at each other. "It should be like this, no wonder the Tartars want to build beacons on the coast, it turns out that they are afraid that we will appear after rushing in directly."

Tan Jingui's eyes also lit up: "That is to say, the enemy ship is actually an empty shelf now, and it may not even be able to shoot accurately??????

"Don't think nonsense, even if the Tartar sailors are still practicing, but we are only six guns on a single side, how can we fight with dozens of others." Xin Jingyan's words were not only to persuade Jin Gui, but also to convince himself. "In case someone else bumps into a dead mouse by a blind cat, we don't even have a chance to cry, so let's spread the news honestly and let the team clean them up."

Tan Jingui knew that this was the truth, but he said with regret: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, when the time comes, when our brigade is attacking, I will hide in the river and not come out." If that's the case, we won't be able to find it. ”

As he spoke, the lookout post reported again: "There are still two chains to go, and the enemy ship is turning." ”

The two ship commanders rushed to the side of the ship at once, and raised the telescope in unison, and in the telescope magnified several times, it was clearly seen that the gun door on the side of the other ship was opening: "Turn the rudder!" ”

Xin Jingyan ordered at the second officer and helmsman: "Keep parallel to the enemy ship, at this distance, they can't hit us." ”

With the movement of [Tsubasu No. 7], [Jingsu No. 11] also drew a white wave on the sea surface.

"The ship is 8,000 class Galen, with a two-story gun deck," the military attache of the Xia army on the two letter ships recorded almost simultaneously. "Ten gun emplacements on the lower deck, twelve gun emplacements on the upper deck, and forty-four guns on the whole ship; The sub-ship Wanliu class Galen, three gun decks, eight gun emplacements on the lower deck, ten gun emplacements on the middle deck, eight gun emplacements on the upper deck, and 52 guns on the whole ship; The Last Ship ??????"

"How does this ship look so much like the Dutchman little Galen?" Tan Jin Gui commented with some suspicion, of course, this is not because he is biased, but because the Dutch ship is more distinctive, even if it is the same Galen, the Dutch Galen is one size smaller than the Galen ships of Portugal, Spain, France, Denmark, England and other countries. "Mo isn't it?"

"Don't guess, Holland Hongyi has just negotiated the territory of Nanyang with the imperial court, should they be the ones who are making trouble." Although Xin Jingyan also had doubts, based on certain facts, he did not dare to make a judgment lightly. "I'm afraid that it is the first time Jianyu has built Galen, and I don't dare to build it in a big one, so I will try it out first, and we will be different back then."

Xin Jingyan's words actually have some problems, in fact, except for the captured [Great Eastern] and other Galen, the Xia Junshui Division has never built a Galen ship in the real sense, and its main cruiser actually takes the route of a fully equipped sailing ship, which is far more advanced than Galen and can carry more guns with a smaller load.

But the Xia Army's sailors can go to this day step by step from the smallest sloop, so the so-called Qing army with a small boat test is also reasonable, who let the Qing army on the shells of the three Dutch ships brush the pattern in line with the oriental color again, and accidentally concealed the observation of the Xia army.

"I don't believe that I didn't build a brig, I just went to Galen, and I built it." Tan Jin Gui still shook his head and said. "If Qing Yu really has such a ability, what would he have done earlier, how could he endure it until today??????"

Xin Jingyan also had the same suspicion, but he contradicted him: "Let the officials consider this." ”

As he spoke, the three Galenci ships of the Qing army opened fire, and the speeding shells fell far away, splashing harmlessly.

Although the artillery bombardment of the Qing army could not threaten the two letter ships of the Xia army, Xin Jingyan, who had already figured out the Qing army's hole cards, was unwilling to take any risks, so he ordered: "Turn the rudder, retreat, tell sù [Jingsu No. 11], let's go back." ”

Seeing that the Xia army was driven away by artillery fire, the Qing army's ships erupted into an astonishing roar, obviously rejoicing at the ability to defeat the powerful Xia army on the sea, but this was certainly not what the Dutch teacher wanted, but with the clumsy Galen, he could not catch up with the Xia army's letter ship with a flying clipper design. Therefore, he could only helplessly watch Xia Jun disappear into the distance.

Not to mention how the Qing army considered temporarily avoiding the edge of the Xia Army's sailors after returning home, on the returning [Yisu VII], the signal just transmitted by the friendly ship also caused a lot of shock.

"What? [Jingjuku 11] has just observed a large number of Tessie sailors on the ship of the Qingyu. I'll just say, how can a Tartar steer such a big ship at once? Tan Jin Gui gritted his teeth and said. Check, we must find out clearly, and see who it is, dare to make trouble behind our backs. ”

"Of course, it must be checked, but what can be done if it is found out, can it go to war? I'm afraid it won't be our turn. Xin Jingyan said indifferently. With these three ships in the Bohai Sea, it is estimated that our Admiral will be restless, and then our hard days will come. Xin Jingyan explained. The Qing prisoners must also understand that it will be a long blockade by then, but fortunately, we have already solved Japan, otherwise we will have to fight on two fronts. ”

In this regard, Tan Jingui agreed: "But if you don't eliminate these three Galen and the Qing prisoner's shipyard, not only will the Admiral not be able to eat and sleep well, I'm afraid the Holy Lord will also be worried, maybe the Long Xiang Army should also be sent over??????

"I'm afraid that the Qing captives deliberately let us see the boat, in order to lure the enemy ashore." Xin Jingyan shook his head as he spoke. "Forget it, you and I are only seven grades, it's better to worry about such a big thing as the officials, you and I just need to obey??????"
