Chapter 187: Dismounting
It was Nian Qianyao who came forward to stop the robbery!
However, he came from the side! …… The enemy ran too fast, a little unexpectedly, and couldn't catch up, so he had to get in quickly in order to stop one or two. However, despite some haste, he still stopped Liu Hengji, who escaped last.
With a heavy bombardment, the sharpshooter placed on Nian Qianyao's ship hit the "captain's room" where Liu Hengji was located, and as a result, Liu Hengji, his cronies and the helmsman were killed together, and the three-masted ship he was sitting on was finally sunk......
Then, Nian Qianyao ignored the other big ships of the Taiwanese rebels behind him, and then pursued, and destroyed a three-masted sailing pirate ship that escaped earlier. Captain Hopkins was honestly escorted with a sound crew of more than a hundred pirates.
……
After the war, a total of seven warships were captured, of which five large ships originally belonged to the Fujian Naval Division! In addition, there are more than a dozen small boats. In total, more than 400 rebels were captured, and the rest were killed at sea!
After that, the sea cuostok sailor entered the port of Quanzhou!
Admiral Lan Li, who had just been reinstated, greeted them on the dock.
"Who commanded just now?" The fifty-year-old man looked very powerful, but there was no welcome on the old man's face, and it was full of anger.
"In the middle of the next!"
"You're the one who is the sea cuvtok?" Glancing at Yu Zhong, Lan Li said angrily: "Will you fight?" ”
“…… I guess I know a little bit! Yu Zhong replied.
"Humph! Got a little bit of it? I don't think you understand anything! Lan Li said loudly: "Let's not talk about how stinky you fought in the naval battle...... Since you are strong in all of you, you should surround the enemy, how can you let them run? Don't you see that we have no ships and few cannons, but we can still fight those traitors, and fight them evenly between the top and the bottom? They only have such a little strength, you have thousands of artillery pieces and thousands of naval troops in your whole army, and you are afraid that you will not be able to annihilate them completely? ”
"......Damn, this old man deliberately dismounted himself!" I didn't expect that I had worked so hard to come, but I received such a "meeting gift", which made me a little angry in the center. However, Lan Li is a general, and he is the platform coach of Kangxi's order this time, and he is also a member of the command.
"What, this, that? I think you're fighting for nothing this time! Not only does the naval battle stink, but I can't even tell the situation on the battlefield a little, I really don't know how the emperor took a fancy to you! Lan Li snorted coldly, turned his head and left.
……
"Lord Toto, Lord Admiral asked you to go and order it before midnight tomorrow!" After Lan Li left, immediately a small soldier of the Fujian Navy Division ran over and said to Zhong.
"Got it!" Although he knew that Lan Li, the old man, couldn't let go of the "First Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty", and he couldn't wipe his face when he saw that he was leading the fleet to support, Yu Zhong was still very angry. This situation made him very unhappy!
"It seems that this must be an unpleasant cooperation!" Drake stuck his head out of the center.
"But if it's unpleasant, you have to cooperate! …… Damn it! Yu Zhong scolded.
"Yes, you have to cooperate even if you are unhappy! But, my lord, you must admit that there is some truth in what the old man said: your naval command skills really need to be further improved! Drake continued, as if he didn't know what to do.
*************
"According to the report of the secret agent on the island, the traitor has taken Penghu because of his internal response. This matter is very detrimental to our army. Since ancient times, attacking Taiwan must first go to Penghu, although the fort above Penghu has long been canceled after Shi Junmen pacified Taiwan, however, the imperial court also has other forts in Taiwan, if the traitors move those red-coated cannons on the fort to Penghu, even if there are sea cucumbers, it will definitely be difficult to stop it! The next day, Lan Li nodded and Yu Zhong attended, and first heard the report of the general soldier Wei Ming.
"Chen Python, what do you think?" Lan Li pinched the beard on his mouth and asked the other general soldier. These people were all generals who were in the same period as him, and they followed Shi Lang to recover Taiwan.
"It's hard! In the past, there were many boats, and we could bombard them for a while, and with this time, we could force our way up! Although the ship in Vladivostok is large now, the goal is much more obvious. And there are few ships, I'm afraid I can't withstand a few cannons! Chen Python replied.
"Yes, it depends on the direction of the wind to hit Penghu, it has to be a south wind! Moreover, after that, there is Luermen, where the terrain is dangerous, and the tide rarely rises, and it was difficult for our warships to rush to the beach before, not to mention that the current ship is so big! Even if we borrow the warships of the Guangdong Navy, I'm afraid these ships won't work! There used to be a fort there, if those traitors had put two cannons there......" Wu Ying touched his gray braids and said gloomily. He was dismissed for dereliction of duty, but after all, he was a general who followed Shi Lang to recover Taiwan in the past, made great contributions, had many relationships, and could speak in front of Kangxi, begging to atone for his sins! In the end, Lan Li's gang of old buddies came forward to help, and Kangxi finally let him make meritorious contributions.
"......" Yinchu looked at the veterans without saying a word. When he got off the boat yesterday, he was almost unable to stand up, and today he is still pale, where do he dare to play again? Isn't it a shame for nothing?
Yu Zhong also didn't say a word! He is not full of food and has nothing to hold on, he clearly knows that a few old guys here want to retake Taiwan by their own strength, and if they have to come forward to show off, wouldn't they be asking for hardship?
However, this world is like this, if you want to get together, ignore you; You don't want to get involved, but someone will see you.
Seeing Yu Zhong listening attentively next to him, but his eyes didn't know where to look, Lan Li's already depressed psychology became even more angry, and he couldn't help but ask, "Yu Dutong, what do you have to say?" ”
"Me?" was first startled by Lan Li's voice, and when he saw that several veterans were all looking at him, with a blazing appearance, Yu Zhong spread his hands indifferently, and asked, "Why do you want to fight Penghu?" ”
"Nonsense. Penghu is the gateway to Taiwan, if you don't hit there first, do you want to be beaten on the back of the abdomen? Lan Li said angrily.
"There are still nearly 100 miles of land off the coast of Penghu, and if you want to hit us in the back, at least there must be a sailor, right? But now there are sailors in Taiwan who can threaten us? Yu Zhong asked rhetorically.
"......" Lan Li was stunned! Then, the eyes of him, Wu Ying, Wei Ming and several other veterans all shone brightly! …… To attack Taiwan, you must first take Penghu! This is already their fixed thinking, and the idea of fighting Taiwan, taking revenge for blood hatred, and being ashamed of the past has made them want to fight to the level of almost paranoia. As a result, this made them forget one thing, although the Taiwanese rebels also have sailors, where can those boats be compared with the sailors of the Zheng family back then? Moreover, the ability of Taiwan's general Liu Guoxuan back then, that was called a powerful one, three points more ruthless than Shi Lang, if it wasn't for Shi Lang's desperate life and using himself as bait to lure Liu Guoxuan into a scheme, if it weren't for the sudden rise of the tide after more than 20 years of silence in Luermen, whether he could recover Taiwan is still two words. But now? If it hadn't been tricked, most of the ships of the Fujian Navy Division would have been burned, most of the artillery would have been blown up, and ninety percent of their strength would have been removed.
"Yes, yes, Taiwan's sailors don't have to fight at all, what do we care about Penghu? What kind of deer ear door does it matter? As long as this Penghu doesn't work, let's go directly to Taiwan! Damn, just go around and attack the fucking Taiwanese capital city directly! (In the Qing Dynasty, the center of Taiwan was Tainan, and Taipei only began to build a city in the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the Pingpu people who were mainly inhabited at this time should be the Kaida Gran ethnic group.) Wu Ying shouted.
"No! The whole army can't attack Taiwan! Lan Li said again.
"Why?" Wu Ying was on the rise, and was interrupted like this, and suddenly asked unhappily.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that Liu Qizhi's gang of bastards will run away! …… We have to block the two shipping routes from Taiwan to Luzon and Ryukyu! Lan Li said in a deep voice.
"Then sweep away his sailor first, the bigger boat is gone, and the small boat can't run far even if it wants to!" Chen Python said.
"But in this way, the sailor will be at sea for a long time!" Wei Ming looked at Yu Zhong.
“…… This is not a problem! Lianggong, you can explain to the generals the strengths of our Vladivostok Water Division! Yu Zhongchao Nian Qianyao ordered. As the deputy commander, Nian Qianyao is also a general who has the right to attend.
"Yes!" Nian Qianyao responded, came out of the column to salute Lan Li and several veterans present, and began to speak:
"Generals, the Vladivostok Naval Division's warships, with a minimum hull of fifteen zhang and a maximum of more than twenty zhang, are all large warships that can carry out ocean voyages, and the sails are made by special methods, and they can be used in eight winds. In addition to the spring and winter seasons, our sailors have to conduct ocean trial training, and the longest has been as long as a month! On that occasion, we crossed the sea to Honshu, Japan, and crossed the Tsugaru Strait between Honshu Island and Hokkaido at night, and returned from the Soya Strait between Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido, which is ...... larger than Taiwan."
"Wait, what do you say? Can you stay at sea for a month? How many people were on board at that time? Lan Li asked.
"Back to the military gate, our fleet was not full of personnel at that time, only half of the quota!" Nian Qianyao replied.
"Half?" Wu Ying smacked his lips, "Doesn't that mean that if there are fewer people, you can run around Taiwan for two months?" ”
"I haven't tried it for two months, but as long as I can often dock to replenish some fresh fruits and vegetables, it shouldn't be a problem!" Nian Qianyao replied.
"Good! …… How many people can you pack at one time? Also, how many people do you need as long as you sail normally? Lan Li asked Nian Qianyao again, not looking at Yu Zhong at all.
"This, if it's just a ship, two thousand people is enough! As for pretending to be human...... If you squeeze it, it won't be a problem for 10,000 people to go up and down! Nian Qianyao replied.
"Good! It doesn't take more than two months! Those rabble, Lao Tzu's thousands of soldiers and horses, can flatten them in three days! Lan Li stood up abruptly and ordered the generals: "The day after tomorrow, the account will be raised!" The army is out! This time, let's ignore Penghu, ignore Luermen, only bring enough boats, and land directly on Taiwan Island! As long as he goes ashore, Lao Tzu will chop Liu Qizhi's dog head alive! ”
"That kid's head is mine!" Wu Ying shouted.
"Good!" Lan Li nodded to Wu Ying, and then said to everyone: "Go back and prepare, prepare all the elite soldiers of each battalion." This time, we're only going to have 8,000 people! Don't be a bad seed! ”
"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.
"Yu Dutong!" After the order was given, Lan Li shouted at Yu Zhong again, this time, his attitude was much better.
"What do you command?" Yu Zhong asked.
"Ah, that's right. We, the people in charge, have gone out to fight, and this naval master's base camp can't be watched by no one, right? Therefore, this admiral wants to order Yu Dutong to guard Quanzhou, but I don't know what you want to do with Dutong? Lan Li asked with a smile.
