Chapter 916 We are here

If you look down from the sky, more than 200 large and small warships, including cargo ships, sailed on the sea. After they were unfolded, they were more than ten kilometers long, especially the newly launched second-class battleship Zhenyuan, which is a flagship.

This warship with a length of 58 meters, a width of 13.6 meters has a displacement of 2,500 tons and a 98 artillery cannon is now the leading warship of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Before the first-class battleship appeared, it was the top combat power.

When this fleet hung the sun and moon flag representing the Great Ming Dynasty sailed on the sea, those Luzon fishermen who were excited to go out to fish in the sea just after the typhoon passed and saw such a majestic fleet appearing in front of them, they fled around like frightened birds.

These Luzon fishermen have never forgotten how the fleets of the Spanish colonists treated them, the indigenous people over the past few decades. When fishing at sea, if they encounter Spanish warships, the best way is to avoid them quickly and not stand in front of them. Otherwise, there will be only one consequence, and these small sampans will be smashed by the Spanish warships.

Pointing at the fishing boat that was scattered around like a frightened bird not far away, Yang Feng asked Liu Xiang, who was standing next to him, "Deputy Admiral Liu, do you see what the hell do you see?"

Today, Liu Xiang was wearing a blue military uniform, and the golden star on her shoulders shone in the sun. She had a pair of black high-top leather shoes on her feet, and black hair cut into short hair. She looked particularly heroic and cool with her beautiful appearance and wheat-colored skin.

When she heard Yang Feng’s question, she just glanced at the fishing boats that fled everywhere: "I don’t have any thoughts, it’s just a look at whose fist is bigger. If the Spanish warships appeared on the border of the Ming Dynasty, the fishing boats that fled everywhere today would become the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"good!"

Yang Feng nodded with relief. He deserved to be a pirate, and he looked at the problem so directly and so naked.

In another historical time and space, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, almost all the foreign warships sailed on the seashores of China. Those foreign warships that were rampant on the seashores of China never took the lives of the Chinese people seriously, and they just sank directly when they encountered it. The law of weakness is original sin is fully expressed on the land of China.

In this time and space, due to the arrival of Yang Feng, history has turned a big turn. The Ming fleet representing China is sailing on this vast sea. The Ming Dynasty has become a strong side, and if it needs to be frightened, it will be replaced by other countries and people.

Perhaps some corrupt scholars criticized Yang Feng and the Fujian Navy for bullying the weak, but Yang Feng never regretted it. Since he has come to this time and space, if he cannot change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, he will be ashamed of the title of Time Traveler.

Perhaps some people would say something like traveling through time and not rebelling against the chrysanthemum and putting electric drills on it, but Yang Feng sneered at this.

People who say such words are either idiots or have a ill mind. Not everyone can be an emperor. Ordinary people probably can't even be a village chief, let alone become an emperor.

Let’s take a step back, what’s the point of becoming an emperor? In order to deal with national affairs, I get up earlier than a chicken, do more than a cow, and sleep later than a dog. What’s the fun of being an emperor like this?

The voice of a communication soldier suddenly sounded next to him: "Report to Deputy Admiral Liu, the vanguard reported that they had arrived fifty nautical miles outside Cebu Island and had not found the Spanish fleet yet? Give instructions on the next combat plan!"

Liu Xiang ordered without hesitation: "Tell me that the general will be the vanguard fleet will immediately disperse in three or three formations to search the surrounding waters. The main fleet will speed up and be sure to arrive at Cebu Island before noon."

"clear!"

As Liu Xiang finished speaking, her order soon spread to the commander of the forward fleet fleet with the radio waves.

The emergence of radio had a huge impact on war, especially Liu Xiang, who could only use flags, drums, or even shouts to command the battle. The emergence of radio walkie-phones had a huge impact on the changes in naval battles.

Anyone who has not experienced it personally does not understand that it is not easy to command a warship of hundreds of people on the vast sea, let alone command a fleet of hundreds of warships.

In the past when communication methods were behind, the command fleet could only rely on flags, drums, or hanging lanterns to command. If it encounters a harsh storm, it will be even more troublesome. When sight, sound and other means fail, the commander has almost no way to command a huge fleet except the ship he is in.

But with the emergence of walkie-talkies, this problem that has plagued the navy for thousands of years has been fundamentally solved.

As long as each ship is equipped with a walkie-phone, the commander can issue his orders to all warships within a radius of dozens of kilometers at the same time, which is also subversive to the impact of naval combat methods.

While giving orders, Liu Xiang secretly looked at Yang Feng standing in front of her. Looking at Yang Feng's straight posture and firm expression, Liu Xiang felt an inexplicable emotion surge in her heart, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by her.

She is Liu Xiang...a free bird, and the canary life in the cage is definitely not suitable for her.

Time passed by minute by minute, and at noon, when the first warship appeared in the sight of the Cebu Island Observation Post, the rapid whistle immediately sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the big bell hanging in the center of Fort San Petro also rang. When the bell rang, whether it was the soldiers on duty on the city wall, the people hiding in a corner and taking a nap, or the soldiers who were still fooling around in an unknown tavern, everyone's faces changed because they knew that the Ming people's fleet had arrived.

Looking at the clearly visible Fort San Petro ahead, Yang Feng's eyes showed an expression of excitement, and he ordered the correspondents standing beside him: "Tell the forward fleet, say hello to the Spaniards, tell them that we are here!"

As a person who once attacked Cebu Island, Ning Shuisheng and the Haining ship he commanded were still appointed as the vanguard of the entire army. At this moment, Ning Shuisheng felt a boiling heart when he looked at the port that was so close.

"His grandma, red-haired Japanese, you didn't expect that Grandpa Ning, I'm back. I won't run away this time. If you have the ability, please pull out your own warships and fight with Grandpa to see who is the coward!"

Ning Shuisheng of Cebu Island is naturally still fresh in his memory. Last time he led the two warships, Haining and Haima, to be ordered to investigate, played a firepower reconnaissance. Although he caught the Spanish off guard in the early stage, due to lack of experience, he was almost entangled by the Spanish warships reported. Although he withdrew from the battle, the heavy casualties also made Ning Shuisheng feel so distressed.

"Sir, the Marquis gave an order to greet the Spanish brother and tell them we are here!"

A correspondent went to him and reported loudly.
