The big ship was sailing on the sea, followed by three escort warships, and the wind direction was very good these days, and the situation of the sea current was not complicated, so it could be said that the wind and water were smooth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The large ship is divided into five floors, and the bottom layer is the cabin of the artificial power oars, with 200 people, each in a group of 100 people, taking turns to paddle to save physical strength and ensure that the boat can sail without wind.

The second floor is the material compartment, which has a passage to the upper deck, and is divided into areas to store grain grains, fresh water, fruit materials, mutton, as well as live poultry and domestic animals, chickens, ducks and geese, etc., an area for placing military horses, and an area for spare weapons and ammunition.

The third floor is the cabin where the sailors live, each room can accommodate 20 people, and there are hanging nets. There are a total of 50 rooms. On both sides there are eighteen Kamui General cannons.

The fourth floor is the captain's quarters, the command cabin, the living quarters of the senior sailors, the technicians' cabins, the kitchen with the dining room and the like, as well as the weapons and ammunition compartments.

The top floor is the captain's room, which is Xiao Lang'er's separate residence, and he is not allowed to enter unless he asks for instructions, and there is a map on the wall of the room, which is drawn by the surveying and mapping officials provided by the Ministry of Industry. In the future, everywhere I went, I would draw a detailed nautical chart, and there were books and pen and ink on the wooden table, as well as Western telescopes.

At this time, the ship had sailed to the waters near the Penghu Islands.

In the captain's cabin, Xiao Lang'er sat at the wooden table, planning a military exercise, after all, on the ocean, anything can happen, and there are many situations that need to be dealt with, whether it is natural or danger from human society, and preparation can win the battle.

Someone knocked on the door, and the herald Pan Yangming came in and said that there were two unknown enemy ships in front of us to intercept us, and three warships in pursuit of us. The brothers asked, what should be done?

Xiao Lang'er picked up a monocular and inspected the situation of the enemy's ships, judging by his clothes, they were widows.

Order the artillery team, the firearms team to prepare!

Speed up the voyage and order the sailors who oared to increase their speed and adjust the angle in an effort to sink the enemy ship in front of them. Our ship is several times larger and faster. The enemy ships in front of them noticed our intentions and hurriedly tried to dodge. But it has been too late to dodge, the speed of the Daming treasure ship is too fast, driven by the wind and manpower, coupled with its own power, the keel of the treasure ship is wrapped with a layer of lead and iron, and it is built of nanmu, which is very strong.

I only heard a click, the enemy ship was broken, slowly sinking, the sailors on it hurriedly jumped into the sea to escape, if you don't hurry, you will be carried down by the sunken ship, and quickly swim into the distance. The firearms team fired, and a dense burst of lead projectiles shot into the sea, revealing circles of blood on the surface of the sea.

The other ship saw that the opportunity was not good, and wanted to slip quickly, but it was out of the vitality of the Spitfire on the broadside of the treasure ship.

Xiao Lang'er ordered to open fire, a thick tongue of fire engulfed the enemy's second ship, the enemy ship in front of it was on fire at once, burning the sails and deck, the sailors on board were all on fire, some were busy extinguishing the fire, some jumped into the sea, some panicked, only to hear a bang, the enemy ship exploded, billowing smoke, sawdust flew everywhere, and screamed.

The enemy ship behind quickly turned around and prepared to shoot, turned the direction of the ship, aimed at the invading enemy behind with the port side, and opened fire decisively, the shells were gravel, gunpowder and iron sand, mainly injuring people, and did little damage to the ship, and tried to make the opponent's ship have no attack power. The eighteen guns on the port side opened fire together, and the power was amazing, like tongues of fire swallowing the enemy ship.

All three enemy ships were within range of the artillery, screaming incessantly. Due to inertia, the ship got closer to the treasure ship and came into the range of the firearms.

Three hundred firearms men fired, and two-thirds of the sailors on the opposing ship were killed, either dead or wounded, and the ship could not move.

Each frigate dealt with an enemy ship, and the sailors on the frigate screamed and hooked the enemy ship with their flying claws. One of the sailors was very fierce, and they took up their machetes and jumped onto the enemy's ships, slashing at anyone they saw, and even mending the wounded, forcing the remaining pirates into a corner.

Xiao Lang'er watched this scene with a telescope, and these hundred or so people were like killing gods, and they were excited when they saw blood. One of the leaders is very thin and thin, but he cuts people more than the others, and his knife skills are more ruthless, and he slashes the enemy's head and neck very treacherously, which attracts the attention of Xiao Lang'er, and has a good chat when the war is over.

Needless to say, the result of the war is known, which is one-sided, regardless of equipment and morale, Xiao Langer's side has the advantage.

He captured more than 30 Japanese and rescued more than 20 coastal women who had been taken captive by the Japanese from the ship. And transferred the supplies on the ship to the treasure ship, some grain, a few thousand taels of silver and some silk, it seems that the ship of the Ming Dynasty was plundered.

Xiao Lang'er brought a small leader among the captured pirates and asked, "How do you attack our ship?" The little leader of the Japanese invaders kept talking crookedly, and Xiao Lang'er couldn't hear clearly, so he found an official who could speak Japanese and said, "We got the news that the Daming treasure ship was full of material wealth and was going to go to Nanyang to do business, so we came to rob it." ”

"Who knows the news?" "Our daimyo is familiar with some of your officials, and it was they who revealed it and brought back the information through our merchants. We are here, I didn't know that you were more fierce than us, I knew earlier, I wouldn't have come to die. The little leader of the Japanese invaders said intermittently, "Also, we are just a small fleet, and we came here privately because we were greedy for merit and didn't take you seriously." We also have dozens of ships. The little leader said, "Don't kill me, I still have an eighty-year-old grandmother above me, and a few younger siblings below, all of whom depend on me to raise them, and if you kill me, they will all be finished." ”

"I won't kill you!" Xiao Lang'er said. When the small leader of the Japanese invaders, Oizumi Kamero, heard this, his nervousness dissipated. "And what do you want me to do?"

"You are smarter, I will take you to my island, work it, work on it for three or five years, behave well, I can send you back to your hometown. ”

"Oh, great, thank you! I'll do a good job!" Oizumi Kamehiro relaxed and touched his neck, this Ming official is too good, how can he be like their official, if he sees someone from Daming, he will kill him, that will be so polite.

"Then tell your captives that those who want to stay and those who don't want to stay can go by themselves. Xiao Lang'er said.

"I'll go and say it right away. "Oizumi Kamerou walked to the place where the Japanese were captive, and when they spoke, the faces of the men were happy, and twenty-three people agreed to stay and work for the slaves.

Okay, let you put it aside, and then look for the women who have been taken captive by the pirates, and some of them are trembling. I don't know what this big man did with them, some of these women were Koreans, some were from Nanyang, and some were from the Japanese state, especially short, not as tall and fair-skinned as the women of the Ming Dynasty.

Their eyes were hidden, as if they had been bullied by the pirates.

"You are free, you can go wherever you want in the future, and when you get to Fuzhou, I will send you ashore. Xiao Lang'er said.

When the women heard that they had been sent ashore, they were so happy that they knelt down and prostrated themselves.

"Well, I can see that you have been bullied on the ship of the Japanese people, and if any of these captives have bullied you, you can now take revenge. Xiao Lang'er said and threw a whip on the ground.

The women's eyes scanned the faces of the Japanese captives, and the faces of the Japanese did not dare to raise up, and under the identification of the women, fifteen people were pointed out, and Oizumi Kamerou was not among them, and Xiao Lang'er ordered these evil Japanese to stand in a row with their backs to them, and the women took the whips and whipped them one by one, and there was a lot of wailing. The whip marks on the body turned upside down.

"Are you satisfied?" asked them.

Many of them were dissatisfied and shook their heads, showing how much these beasts had hurt them, and some of them had to endure the ravages of dozens of people in one night.

"Kill them, kill them!" cried the women.

Xiao Lang'er ordered the firearms to load, ignite, fire, fire, crackling, and some of the widows peed their pants. A gunshot rang out, and the pirates fell, planted in the sea, and eaten by sharks.

When the women saw all this, they ran over and hugged Xiao Lang'er's feet, grateful and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Lang'er arranged for them to go down and put the captives in prison.

It had already been arranged for the cook to prepare the food, bring up the wine and begin to celebrate, and this was the first battle he went to sea to command, and it was a great victory and boosted the morale of the sailors.

On the deck, all the soldiers gathered, Xiao Lang'er was to be rewarded according to merit, each of them had a reward, and shared with his subordinates more than 3,000 taels of silver found from the Japanese ship, and the soldiers were very enthusiastic and very happy, this time only a few people were wounded, and more than 1,300 enemies were killed.

Then commend the most outstanding troops and individuals this time, please come and be rewarded, Xiangxi Platoon taught the navy 100 people to kill the enemy bravely, everyone wants them to learn, each person will be rewarded with three taels of silver. Then there was their leader, who killed the most.

Xiao Lang'er looked at their leader, "It's you!"
