Chapter 469: Burning the Tang Family's Army
It turned out that Shao Ruiguang noticed that they were now riding an ordinary maritime merchant ship, which was relatively petite, and it was not easy to pass through this reef area, and the warships on the side of the state capital must not be able to enter at all.
Even if you reluctantly sail in the end, or if you are not familiar with the map and follow it rashly, you will be shipwrecked because of the rocks, so if you really bring people in, they will really have victory in sight.
As soon as Shao Ruiguang's order came out, the entire maritime merchant ship sailed directly to the reef area.
The warships of the state capital followed closely behind, and it was obvious that the commander on the warship did not intend to confront Yan Hongxin and them head-on, and the purpose was only the maritime merchant ship where Shao Ruiguang was.
Not only that, but the warships of the state capital didn't know what to think, and they were not in a hurry to catch up with Shao Ruiguang's maritime merchant ships.
In addition, the warships of the state capital will also deal with the warships on the side of the Dinghai Navy, which is like a well-fed cat playing tricks on a poor mouse, or perhaps, the warships of the state capital rely on their amazing defensive power and sufficient artillery shells, and they don't take the warships of the Dinghai Navy seriously at all, but only the artillery shells of the Dinghai Navy are tickling, and now the maritime merchant ships chasing Shao Ruiguang are more like demonstrations, otherwise they can catch up with them to their degree.
And just like that, a column of ships began to move forward in a strange state.
"General Tang, that maritime merchant ship is really capable of running, it doesn't look like a maritime merchant ship at all, don't you have no goods in it, right?" An adjutant general spoke.
The general Tang in his mouth is named Tang Rongxuan, Tang Rongxuan is the commander of the state capital warship this time, strictly speaking, he is not a general, let alone a marshal, just an official with a sesame mung bean in the Yanzhou state capital, but there is someone above him, and his grandfather is a general.
The Tang family is also the Jiangmen of Dasheng second only to the Qin family, so Tang Rongxuan is also the queen of the Jiangmen, but this Tang family is far less entrenched than the Qin family, and it is not as rich and powerful as the Qin family, so the reputation in Dasheng is far inferior to the Qin family.
The old man of the Tang family, that is, Tang Rongxuan's grandfather, is a very pretentious person, he always feels that the difference between him and the Qin family is just a little foundation, if everyone is in the same place, he will definitely not lose to the Qin family.
However, he was unwilling to return in his heart, and the old man of the Tang family also knew very well that if he wanted to shake the Qin family with his own strength, it was simply impossible, because it was difficult to support it alone, although he had great achievements, none of the children and grandchildren below had the ability, and if a family wanted to prosper, the strength of the heirs was the brunt.
Without the road of heirs, the old man of the Tang family put his mind elsewhere, so after learning about the situation in Yanzhou from his old man, when he knew that Yanzhou was a piece of "fat meat", the old man of the Tang family was inevitably a little moved.
It's just that the old man of the Tang family is also a person who cherishes his wings very much, so he didn't dare to come over to make a fortune with great fanfare, so he sent his grandson Tang Rongxuan to come over to hone under the banner of refining his heirs.
It is obviously for tempering, but in fact, it is to let Tang Rongxuan follow his old man to "make gold" in this Yanzhou area, and then rely on the silver from these "gold hunting" to expand the strength of the Tang family and compete with the Qin family.
Moreover, there are many people like Tang Rongxuan in Yanzhou, and many officials in the capital have noticed the situation in Yanzhou, and then tacitly sent their cronies to settle down in the state capital of Yanzhou, which has been a practice for many years.
Tang Rongxuan looked at the distance, the maritime merchant ship led by Shao Ruiguang was being chased by the state capital warship led by him and fled, and couldn't help but feel a little proud: "You said, their ships are all broken like that, why haven't they sunk yet?" I haven't even seen how the wreck sinks, but I didn't expect that the little wrecked ship, looking tattered, is quite tenacious, it is all broken like this, and it still does not sink. ”
Tang Rongxuan said happily, he let his warship follow Shao Ruiguang's maritime merchant ship, it was completely a joke, and he was actually a little disdainful of the Dinghai warship chasing behind his warship, and felt that such a small warship attacking his warship was like a joke, and he didn't have to care at all.
Although, before he came, he had heard too many rumors about the rise of the Dinghai Navy, and many people told him before he came out that the usual method of the Dinghai Navy was to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so don't be deceived by their "harmless livestock" appearance, but after seeing the "small broken ship" of the Dinghai Navy, Tang Rongxuan felt that those who said that the habitual method of the Dinghai Navy was to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and some people were a little worried, after all, such a broken ship was to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and there was no capital.
Therefore, Tang Rongxuan asked people to chase the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked people to give the navy's warships a few cannons from time to time for demonstration, which is why at the beginning, there was such a strange situation.
Hearing Tang Rongxuan ask why the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang were broken like that, and they were not sunk, several navies next to him were a little sideways, because in their opinion, although the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang were a little dilapidated, but in fact they were not really broken, it can be said that they just looked very broken, and they really hurt the vital point, which would lead to a gap in the shipwreck, which did not exist at all, so it was not so easy for Tang Rongxuan to let the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang sink the ship.
After all, the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang are very good at dodging, and their artillery shells missed, even if they didn't miss, they didn't hurt the ship's vital point.
It's just this, Shao Ruiguang's level of commanding warships is more powerful than Tang Rongxuan's commanding warships, I don't know how much, it's just that Tang Rongxuan took advantage of a well-equipped one.
Moreover, Tang Rongxuan obviously didn't realize this, he just thought that he could resist the attack of Tang Rongxuan and Yan Hongxin alone, and felt that although it was the first time to command the navy, he was very talented because he was the queen of the general.
Tang Rongxuan's side was a navy, seeing that everyone did not answer Tang Rongxuan's words, afraid that Tang Rongxuan would be angry with him because of this, so he carefully accompanied the smiling face and said flatteringly: "General, don't worry, that sea merchant ship is just the end of a strong crossbow, as long as we have two more cannons, it should sink." ”
A navy with yellow teeth echoed and said: "Yes, you don't need two cannons, I see that if one cannon hits, the merchant ship should be sunk." ”
