The movement of the army quickly aroused the idea of the north and south to suppress the division of the fanzi, and almost at the same time as the Qi garrison troops drove to Shanhaiguan, the fans immediately sent a warning signal to the south in various ways as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

A few days later, the warships displayed in the waters of Wugang in Suzhou Prefecture quickly left the military port, and Zhu Jun personally saw off Yang Rang and Liu Guoxuan, two naval commanders, and nearly 1,000 ships of all sizes sailed out of the Yangtze River port and entered the Beiyang.

On the other side, the Qing army's naval division has arrived in Tianjin, the naval commander Tuhai landed in Tianjin Port Tanggu, Li Guangdi, Shi Lang came to greet him, although Tuhai has been in office as the naval commander for two years, but it is the first time to see the blue sea, the original uneasiness has long been thrown out of the clouds, and then see the coastal fortifications of Tianjin Port, hundreds of fine artillery is facing the sea, you can know that Li Guangdi has indeed made a lot of effort in building the fortifications, and Shi Lang's warships are distributed in the sea off Tianjin, as a warning for the purpose of using the enemy's traces, Even if the Beiyang Naval Division or the Oriental Naval Division poured out of the nest, it was not without the strength of a battle, Tuhai was naturally determined, and the front foot boarded the dock, and immediately encouraged Li Guangdi and Shi Lang, who had been waiting for a long time.

The defense of Tanggu Port is built by the imperial court to exhaust the treasury financial resources, including 231 towers, 70 imitation Westerners' += forts, 563 artillery pieces, the fortifications are built extremely strong, first with huge rock piles, and then use the cement formula that Nanming secretly learned, in addition, the whole port has two lines of defense, one is near the sea, one is built on both sides of the Gu River, once the port is invincible, you can use the Gu River waterway to escape, it can be said that it is foolproof, It was also thanks to Li Guangdi, a Fujianese, that he could supervise the construction, and Tuhai was indecisive along the way, he climbed the tower and stroked the pitch-black artillery on the tower, and Li Guangdi on the side had already introduced it.

"Lord Admiral, these cannons are all forged by Francophone craftsmen, the materials are excellent, and the firing range can reach hundreds of zhang, as long as the Ming army dares to come, before they can land, they can all be buried in the belly of the fish."

Tu Hai nodded again and again, and his confidence swelled all of a sudden, practicing the water master diligently at this Tanggu mouth, I am afraid that there is really no one in the world to threaten, he was originally a harsh person, and now when he sees this situation, where can he find fault: "Li Patrol Inspection is really fine, I will write an excerpt today and report to Li Patrol." ”

Li Guangdi made a look of great expectation, and hurriedly said: "The grace of the Admiral, Guangdi always remembers it. ”

Shi Lang on the side also deliberately quipped: "I have followed the Admiral for so many years, and I haven't seen any support, but I still have a good life in the bare land, and I was caught by the Admiral at a glance." ”

Tu Hai was in a very good mood at this time, and he smiled and lightly hammered Shi Lang's chest: "Don't worry, you must write the name of Shi Lang's guerrilla land, and there will be a reward at that time." ”

The three of them all laughed, but Tu Hai laughed very happily, while Li Guangdi and Shi Lang were in a different state of mind.

The three of them descended the tower together. The local officials and Goshha automatically made way of the way. Horses were brought to them. Tuhai was the first to get on the horse. Immediately after Shi Lang. Lee Kwang-di. Goshha led the horse on a leash. Continue to the next stop. Wait until the inspection yamen. The three of them entered the office together to talk in detail. Li Guangdi conveniently presented the pattern of the Tianjin fortifications. Tuhai spread it out and looked at it carefully for a while. At first, he nodded his head again and again. But halfway through. But he sighed. The brow was already wrinkled.

"Raw space. Thou hast overseen the fineness of the fortifications. But why should fortifications be built even in the rear? Tianjin Mansion is close to Zhili. Are you still afraid that there will be a Ming army in the direction of Zhili? Tuhai's blame is not unreasonable. Originally, he thought that the Tianjin fortifications mainly faced Haiti. Unexpectedly, judging from the drawing, even the entrance to the important pass where Zhili borders Tianjin Prefecture has also built strong fortifications. This is unusual.

Li Guangdi naturally has his own wishful thinking. Of course, you can't say it explicitly. Just said, "Lord Admiral." Naked Land was ordered to supervise the defense of Tianjin. The imperial court allocated a million pieces of silver. Naturally, it is necessary to build the fortifications as solid as gold. You can't manage anywhere else. But this Tianjin. Since the light land was commanded. It will be built into a golden city.

”

This reason is far-fetched, though. Tuhai also accepts it. It's just that Li Guangdi is too persistent. Didn't think deeply. He yawned: "Been on the ship for so long. I really want to take a break. The Admiral's Yamen has not yet been completed. In the past few days, I will inevitably go to the inspection yamen to rest. Raw. Just tidy up your bedroom. ”

"The lowly duties have long been prepared. Admiral, please. Li Guangdi and Shi Lang stood up with a smile. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the next few days, the entire Tanggu Port was calm again, and Tuhai was there every day

Trainer, to say that the difference between Baiyangdian and the sea is still very great, the recruits in Baiyangdian practice the dragon spirit and tiger fierce, but changed to the sea, the bumps of the ship than Baiyangdian do not know how many times, many veterans who have been training in Baiyangdian for two years are also inevitably seasick, even the Tuhai is the same, and the gunner training, Baiyangdian water surface is calm, the gunner calibrates the level of extremely high without shaking, but once it comes to the bumpy ocean, it is more than ten times more difficult to calibrate.

Even so, Tu Hai cheered up, the challenges vary from person to person, some people cringe, some people go against the boat, but Tu Hai can't think of it, he doesn't have much time.

The first day of the third month of the ninth year of the new year.

In the early morning, the morning fog floated on the sea and only faintly saw that the ships of all sizes were puffing up their sails, Tuhai had already boarded the ship and began to train the sailors to be brave, the sailors shouted loudly and pulled the winch, the gunners had entered the position, and the standard-bearers stood on a high place, constantly telling the surrounding warships to keep their distance.

Li Guangdi, who also got up early, pretended to patrol in front of a fortification, and met Shi Lang, who had been waiting for a long time, Shi Lang was dressed in bright nail armor and carried a waist knife, looking radiant.

Shi Lang finally couldn't help but speak first: "Raw land, do you confirm that it is today?" ”

"It should be noon, Zhang Rucheng has already sent the news, there is nothing wrong." Li Guangdi looked at the sound of the sailors' drills in the distance, and the sound of the guns being tested by the gunners on the ship.

Shi Lang was excited, rubbed his hands and said: "It's been a hard day, I'll take my headquarters to the sea to cruise later, and when I meet Wang Shi, I will immediately surrender to Cheng, and then I will return to the sea, and I will leave the matter on the coast to you." ”

Li Guangdi said: "Don't worry, the gunpowder has been used for hands and feet, and the soldiers of the garrison on the shore also have our people, but I should remember to be careful."

”

Shi Lang's eyebrows danced and said: "I have my own measure of this, okay, don't say much, I went to sea." ”

"Go ahead." Li Guangdi waved his hand, then looked solemn, and arched his hand towards Shi Lang: "Precious." ”

Shi Lang returned the salute: "Precious." After speaking, he resolutely carried the knife on his waist, and the official boots under his feet stepped on the beach deep and shallow, and walked towards the dock. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At noon, the Qing army sailors outside the port began to gradually return to Hong Kong, and after a morning of drills, everyone felt tired, and many Qing soldiers lazily went ashore shirtless, waiting for food.

At this time, a large group of Goshha who inspected the yamen had already brought in food and drink, and Li Guangdi, the sailor inspector, was not only in charge of the defense of the coast, but also served as the logistics officer of the sailor, and all the food of the sailor was supplied by the inspection yamen, and hundreds of shacks had been erected on the coast, and the servants of the inspection yamen began to distribute food, and the bustling sailors lined up in a long line, and after the meal, they squatted on the beach and ate bare-chested, and the sailors were all rough people, and there were not so many rules.

At this time, the shadows of boats suddenly appeared on the ocean, and the sailors who were squatting on the beach to eat rubbed their eyes, originally thinking that Shi Lang's ships patrolling the open sea had returned, but soon, they found that something unusual had appeared on the horizon, and more and more ships appeared on the horizon, starting with one, two, five, ten, and twenty............

It could never be Shi Lang's ship, Shi Lang's patrol ship only had a dozen small and small ships, and what appeared in front of the sailors' eyes were hundreds or thousands, quietly moving along the waves like ghosts.

"Ming Army Sailor ............" Someone didn't care about eating and began to shout.

The coast suddenly became a mess, and Tuhai, who was eating under the pergola, also noticed something unusual, he pulled out the monocular on his waist and looked into the distance, squinted his eyes and looked at the coast for a while, then gasped, and then yelled angrily: "Where is Shi Lang? Why didn't Shi Lang come back to report the news, quickly, everyone boarded the ship to meet the enemy. ”

"The battalions board the ships and meet the enemy." The generals who dined at the same table with Tuhai also shouted.

The sailors on the beach came to their senses, and rushed to the pier and the landing boat docked on the beach, Tu Hai had already pulled out his waist knife and ran towards the pier with a hideous face, Goshha behind him couldn't catch up, trotted for a while, Tu Hai suddenly paused, and surrounded the soldiers who caught up with him left and right: "When you see Shi Lang, come to see you, go and send a message to Inspector Li, let him prepare quickly, and cover my sailors to meet the enemy." ”

"Wow."
