After Li Yong's combined fleet won the first battle, the Blood Tiger pirates in the East China Sea were beaten into sick cats, they were sunk a total of nine battleships, six were captured, Niu 13 was a total of eighteen ships, and fifteen were lost at once, basically scrapped, after the combined fleet cleaned up the battlefield, dragged the captured warships away from this sea area, and those who were salvaged pirates will face various approvals after going ashore, and those injured or dead pirates will become food for sharks, and the pirates who are tied up and kneeling on the deck, Shivering as they looked at the sailors who had defeated them.

"Take them all down, interrogate them, and tell me the result."

Li Yong looked at these captured pirates expressionlessly, and he was not interested in them at all, because he knew that these pirates had a lot of blood debts on their hands, and now he didn't kill them, he just wanted to treat them as free labor, otherwise he was sorry for the ammunition just now, these pirates were afraid that the young man who was giving the order in front of them would suddenly order them all to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and they didn't dare to say anything, because they had often done this before, and soon they were escorted to the bottom of the cabin and guarded by sailors, And the fleet also adjusted the route to Huating Port to return, because their ammunition is also insufficient, even if they find the lair of the Blood Tiger Pirates, without the cooperation of the marines, it is impossible to complete the lore clearance, so Li Yong ordered to return for this reason, don't let the pirates not be extinguished at that time, put yourself in, it's not worth it, plus this harvest is also very big, the fleet conducted a short-distance sea trial from Huating to Taizhou, and encountered a storm on the way, although it was a little thrilling, but it also collected the hull's ability to resist the corresponding storm, Even in the control of the new ships, the navy has a corresponding understanding of its own warships, the so-called does not even understand its own ship, then there is a problem with the wear, and I don't know how to repair it if it is broken, and finally sent a sparring partner, so that the navy has real combat experience, and also captured six good ships, and the next time I go to sea, it is the end of these pirates, three warships crash through the waves on the sea, like happy children sail back to their home port.

"Boss, I asked."

"Oh? Recruited so quickly? ”

"These soft bones are fierce when they rob, and after being beaten by us, they will be honest and answer whatever they ask."

"Tell me what's going on, tell me."

"These people are actually pirates in the East China Sea, what is the Blood Tiger Pirate Group, and their leader is called Niu Thirteen......"

"What? What is it called? ”

"Niu Thirteen, you know the boss."

"How do I know the cow beep, you go on."

When Li Yong heard Niu Thirteen, he wondered if their parents were particularly powerful, and they gave him such a name, it was really a knife on the butt of the cow, which opened his eyes.

"This Niu 13 seems to be a captain of the Navy Division or something, and then for some reason he took a few of his subordinates to steal a building ship of the Navy Division, and finally recruited troops everywhere in the East China Sea, and the coastal villages in the East China Sea have been looted by them, and they also kidnapped and robbed the merchant ships that come and go, he appeared here this time, as if he received some information, saying that our Huating Port is particularly rich, so he wants to rob us, who knows that when we meet the return voyage, they will be scrapped directly."

Liu Renliang concisely said the situation of the interrogation, and then handed the confession to Li Yong, Li Yong carefully opened the above confession, and came to the conclusion that there should be a lot of pirate gangs like the Blood Tiger Pirates, and even a gang larger than this pirate exists, they have been plundering Huating County, which may be that Huating County was too poor before, and they were too lazy to rob it, so that Li Yong's Huating County was lucky to escape, but now the wealth of Huating County has been spread out. Those greedy pirates will definitely follow, as for the situation in Huating County, you don't have to guess to know that it must be a good thing done by those Jiangnan Shi clans, since Li Yong turned his face with them, they have sent people to secretly investigate and monitor more than once, and even wanted to sneak into Huating County, but they were all killed by the ghost special forces, but some of the situations in Huating County still fell into their hands.

"It seems that some information about Huating has been leaked out, these pirates must not give up, maybe this Blood Tiger Pirate Group is just one of them."

"Then we have to hurry back and prepare for war, because the ammunition we brought with us this time is already insufficient for a second attack, and we must replenish the ammunition before they come."

"Well, that's right, but we can only defend this time, because once our three ships leave the port, once they are outnumbered and attack us, we will be very passive, and we can only wait for the defense to counterattack, relying on the cooperation of shore artillery and marines on land, to cripple these pirates, and when the time comes, it will be time for us to counterattack and sweep them up."

"Boss, that's right, we only have these three ships now, and although the four remodeled fighting ships are not so big in terms of firepower, they can still be used as walkers."

"How to fight, go back to the port and then refine it, and then the dock has started in front, how is the recruitment on your side? Don't wait until the ship is there, you don't have anyone to drive the boat. ”

"Don't worry, boss, aren't many of the sailors of the imperial court working now, I have recruited those sailors, and many of them are willing to come, at least they can meet the needs of three more escort-level sailors, and the entire recruitment work has not stopped."

"Okay, don't stop this work, and don't keep staring at the coastal areas, those mountainous areas can also be recruited, as long as our conditions are good and they are willing to come, then train them into a navy, and use their brains to do things."

Li Yong pointed his head with his finger angrily, in fact, Liu Renliang's recruitment of the navy has also entered a blind spot, thinking that there are talents with maritime experience along the coast, so the recruitment of the navy has not been fast, this time, there are more than 300 marines left in the entire naval base, and all the people have come out, so that Xishan and Huating are still short of more than 100 people, Li Yong said this now, Liu Renliang suddenly opened, and felt that he was too stupid.

"Yes, boss, why didn't I think of it, I can't swim, we can teach, we can teach if we can't drive a boat, we have a boat and equipment first, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to teach, great, I'll go back and let the conscription bunnies change."

"Roll~"

Liu Renliang was kicked out of his cabin by Li Yong, Li Yong had never seen such a stupid person, and they all doubted whether this famous naval general in history was fake, but from the time of the first battle of the Blood Tiger Pirate Regiment, he did play the level of a naval commander, I have to say that some people are born for the sea, just Liu Renliang was originally a land general, if he was not ordered to take over the Tang Dynasty Naval Division, there would not have been a small day when he defeated more than 1,000 warships with 800 warships, and achieved a sea myth, After five days of sailing, the fleet finally saw Huating Harbor, and the guard tower on the shore also found three ships in the distance, because it was too far away to be sure whether it was their own people, so all the shore-based twenty-pounder guns all entered the alert, but soon the sentries used high-powered telescopes to distinguish the flag of their fleet, but according to the basic operation, they were waiting for the fleet to arrive at the designated distance to wave the flag to them, otherwise they would not be on alert, because the ship is not like the land with a huge magnification telescope, It can only be typed to the shore according to the longest range of shore-based artillery, that is, the distance that land-based telescopes can see, these positions are marked by them with buoys, ordinary people don't know what they are, only they know, of course, the so-called buoys are actually connected to the wooden planks with steel anchors, and then painted with red dye on the wooden boards, the equipment is not good, that can only be used in the most primitive way.

"Report, has entered the signal area."

"Signal to the land-based."

"Yes."

The flag-bearer on the mast of the Admiral waved the flag to the distant land, and the observer, who had been closely watching, immediately translated the flag to the garrison officer when he saw that it was his own.

"Report, confirm that our fleet is ahead, do you want to let it go?"

"Lift the alert, let them go, signal to them."

After the commander in charge of the garrison gave the order to de-alert, all the guns on the shore immediately poured out all the guns and muskets in the breeches and cleaned them up, and then covered the guns again with camouflage, and the dull horn came out of the harbor, and after receiving the release call, the three battleships slowly sailed into the harbor with the pirate's ship.

"The main sail is half sailed, the auxiliary sail is auxiliary, and the shipyard is docked to repair the dock according to the designated position of each ship, and the rest of the personnel line up on the side of the ship to salute Huating Port."

Liu Renliang commanded three huge ships that had entered the port on the deck, and the people on the shore had seen the huge warships slowly sailing in, they knew that they were just protecting their combined fleet, and they had finally returned after going to sea for more than a month, and they were all in the place specially designed to welcome the return of the fleet - Yinghang Bay, which was the place that Li Yong had chosen, that is, for the people of Huating or the families of the crew of the fleet to welcome them, after the entire Huating County received the news of the return of the fleet, everyone put down their work, When they arrived at Yinghang Bay, everyone cheered and waved at their warship, and when they found that the sides of the huge battleship were full of sailors in strange black uniforms and white hats, yes, their uniforms were the naval uniforms of later generations.

"Salute~"

In addition to the sailors who were still operating and controlling the movement of the three warships, all of them wore all-black later naval uniforms, white military caps and white gloves, and each of them had patterns identifying various military ranks on their sleeves, neat and standard military salutes, which made the entire fleet look particularly handsome, and those young girls on the shore shouted boldly when they saw it.

"I'm going to marry you~"

"That's handsome."

"No, father, mother, I want to find someone from the navy to be my husband."

"Dad, mother, I'm going to be in the navy."

This sense of ritual was also taught to them by Li Yong from later generations, at that time they didn't know what it meant, and now they finally know why Li Yong is an admiral, they are just sailors, too far-sighted, many young unmarried sailors and their comrades-in-arms are constantly looking in the crowd to see if they can find their favorite objects, and the people of Huating saw that there were six somewhat broken warships dragged behind the three warships, they could all think that they should have gone out to capture them, and the people of the entire Huating County were boiling, because their fleet returned safely, and it was the return of the victorious division, the sound of "woo~" returning to the port came from the main ship Admiral, and all the battleships slowly left Yinghang Bay to enter the maintenance dock of the shipyard, and the first sea trial of Li Yong's combined fleet was officially completed.
