315 Human Propeller(1/2)
After being held back for so long, Fang Xian never dared to alert the enemy. After the fleet was reorganized, he was not in a hurry to go out to sea. He just hid in the dock and waited for you to get into the trap.
There are not many ports in East Asia. If you do trade, you will come to the island sooner or later.
About the 15th, before the arrival of the island, the legendary Fujian Navy appeared outside the Macau Port.
Fang Xian missed the battle between the Fujian Navy and Lai Dao family before, and he didn't know how much it had lost. The Fujian Navy in front of him still had two fleets of large Chinese sailing ships, gathering outside the Macau Port.
This is the question of the rules of the game. Although everyone is born in the same roots, the rule of ownership is the final say. Macau is now the territory of Lai Island. In order to regain Macau, the Fujian Navy began the first round of bombardment. Macau, as the exclusive port of Lai Island, also needs a gift.
But there is one thing that seems to be wrong.
The original armed level of Australia was about 800. If you were bathed in the artillery fire of two fleets of Fujian Navy, you should have surrendered in two or three rounds of volleys.
But no one would have thought that Australia and the United States had a big head!
This big head made tons of military investment without a share, directly exploding the armed level of the Australian Fishing Village to 9999, making it the world's largest fortress-level armed harbor.
At first, the people found that the Fujian Navy bombarded the port and were a little scared, but when they saw the shells hitting the fortress like eggs slumping on stones, they were not panicked, but instead went out to watch the battle.
It is necessary to go back and forth. The 9999-armed Macau Port is equipped with 12 heavy cannons. After the durability was damaged by more than ten points, more shells were bombarded back.
In the first round of fire exchange, two ships of Fujian Navy caught fire and began to hide in the distance.
Fang Xian stood at the dock watching the battle, not worried about being hit by the shells, but felt ashamed in his heart, as if he had done something sorry. He had set up an ambush and waited for the island fleet, but the Fujian Navy took the initiative to enter the bowl.
The navy's general seemed to be fooled, and the armed forces of this fishing village were too surreal, which made him make a surreal decision - to continue the attack.
During the second round of fire exchange between the two sides, the Fujian Navy sank a ship directly.
Fang Xian was even more ashamed. These were all taxes and money for the people. I'm sorry.
The Fujian Navy Admiral entered a state of madness and began the third round of attack.
Fang Xian could no longer bear it and quickly gathered his troops. His strategic approach must change, from overthrowing Japan first to rebel. Foreign affairs must first be settled and internal.
It is very righteous, but in fact it is just a greed for small gains. The navy's piece of meat was delivered to his mouth, and it was uncomfortable not to eat it.
Zhang Dashun is the most innocent person.
This former deputy platoon leader of the Fujian Navy was originally the most afraid of seeing the Fujian Navy, but now he has been appointed as the admiral of the Fang Family Navy's Second Fleet. He manipulated his incomprehensible ironclad ship to surround and annihilate the Fujian Navy.
"Admiral Fang, are you serious..." Although Zhang Dashun had evolved, he was still very scared of this bold decision.
"Well, it's a free chance." Fang Xian also showed that he had to take advantage of this. "In this case, we can basically defeat the main force of the Fujian Navy without any damage, resulting in their share of all ports in East Asia. Then we quickly advanced to Quanzhou, seized its share, and finally completely annihilated them in Hangzhou. This opportunity is great."
"But……"
"Why? Are you afraid of losing?"
"No, it's impossible for the iron boat to lose." Zhang Dashun wiped his sweat, "I always feel a little scared to defeat the Fujian Navy like this."
"I'm afraid of it. After pacifying this sea area, I will appoint you as the admiral of the Dadong Fleet. Is it enough to defend this sea area?"
"Dada Dong. Asia..." Zhang Dashun fainted in an instant. The difference between this official position and the platoon leader seemed to be too big. Zheng He didn't even get to this position back then.
In a daze, Zhang Dashun got on the boat.
After the fourth round of fire with the port, only 6 ships left in the Fujian Navy's battle, one sank, and two retreated on fire.
At this moment, 10 black iron lumps suddenly burst out from the Dock of Aomen.
On the deck of the flagship of the Fujian Navy, the navy admiral was full of miserable expressions, not knowing whether to withdraw or bomb. Laidao family started a war with the Li Chao navy in the capital (now Shou Er). He seized this opportunity and headed south all the way back to regained two lost lands in Yizhou and Quanzhou. Unexpectedly, at the last stop, the firepower of this fishing village was even more terrifying than that of the foreign cannons.
The officers and soldiers next to him saw the admiral in a daze, and said with a thorn in his mouth: "Admiral...Admiral...that's...the evil iron ship...we are ambushed."
"Impossible." The navy admiral clenched his fists, "Lai Island is clearly in the capital, how could it be ambushed us here? Moreover, there are only two evil iron ships in the fleet of Lai Island, so how could it be possible to generate 10 at once! If he takes another step, does it take him to ambush us?"
"Admiral... let's retreat, God will not be good."
The navy admiral had lost his basic judgment, his eyes widened, full of confidence, and said angrily: "Don't be afraid, this is the enemy's - magic!"
"…………………………” The officers and soldiers just wanted to cut the admiral with a knife. My devil brother-in-law, the admiral's brain was burned.
Look at the ten ironclad ships, each equipped with 300 sailors, which crushed the current navy five times in terms of the number of sailors. Each ironclad ship has 40 pairs of huge slurries on both sides, and the cabin is filled with kiln sailors who sing labor horns and paddling. To a certain extent, such a huge labor force savagely replaced the engine, and the ironclad ship rushed over like a mad dog at a terrible speed across the ages.
"Admiral...Admiral, this speed is faster than coming to the island family!"
"What are you afraid of? Boom! Our army's Quqi cannons are not vegetarians."
At the command of the admiral, the remaining ships of the Fujian Navy aimed at the Iron Armored Fleet, and 16 artillery fired in a round of volleys.
This time, the accurate head was pretty good, hitting a total of 4-5 rounds, but in addition to creating a certain amount of noise, these shells only left a faint trace of gunpowder on the ironclad ship, and even had no rust spots.
The ironclad ships are not equipped with many artillery guns. Especially when marching, you cannot face the enemy with the side of the ship. There are only a few bow guns that symbolically suppress them.
The Cannon continuous fire cannon, as the ultimate weapon in the era of artillery shell firearms, has three consecutive shots and a sufficient range. Who knows who uses it? Although these ironclad ships each have only one bow cannon, they can even get out three times in an instant. With the crazy convulsions of the muzzle, another large Chinese sailboat announced to sink.
This round of shooting finally woke up the navy admiral.
He slumped at the bow of the ship: "Forget..."
“Admiral…”
"If you pass the order, you will jump into the sea and you will surrender."
After saying that, he wanted to jump into the sea and keep his loyalty shining in history.
At this time, an ironclad ship named Dashun 2 had sailed to a very close place to the Perpetual Qing, and a grand shout came from the bow of the opposite ship.
"Sir!!! Come on!!!"
The admiral and the officers and soldiers looked at him and stood there a tough man with a Western whip, his face covered with traces of old navigators. He was definitely a person with a story.
"This... isn't a Japanese?" The admiral was slightly frightened when facing this person's appearance. He was neither a Japanese with a bald head tied up his hair, nor a Korean product with a huge hat. This style of combining Chinese and Western style. Could it be...
The admiral is also a person who has seen the world and knows that only students studying abroad will adopt this style.
"Sir! Do you still remember me, Mr. Zhang?!"
Even Zhang Dashun died, he would never have thought that he would meet his former master in this way, and he would never have thought that he would burst into tears. He felt like he fell leaves and returned to his roots in the East Asian waters.
The navy admiral thought for a long time, but still shook his head. Even if Zhang Dashun was originally here, he might not have been able to think about it.
Zhang Dashun suddenly felt a sense of responsibility as a soldier. He felt that he was no longer the soldiers and bandits who were good at the common people, but a dignified navy.
"The former Yongbao General - Zhang Dashun, please pay tribute to the Lord!!!" Zhang Dashun performed a simple etiquette.
The admiral whispered silently: "Zhang Dashun...Dashun..."
Suddenly, he jumped up like an electric shock: "Is it you? Zhang Dashun, who was killed by the thief Fang Xian in Macau 9 years ago?! You are still alive!"
"Yes, I'm still alive!"
"Okay! OK!" The navy admiral entered a delusional state again, "Hurry! Come back quickly. With this fleet here, the Japanese pirates will surely die. No, not only the Japanese pirates, but also foreigners can't imagine being rampant."
Zhang Dashun was silent for a long time.
"What? You disobey your order!" said the navy admiral angrily.
"Sir, that's all the past." Zhang Dashun smiled bitterly, his face full of changes of life. "I'm paying tribute to you, it's an old love. I'm no longer the boss."
The navy admiral stood there in a daze: "You...really, as the villagers said, have you rebelled and changed..."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and looked at the flag of Zhang Dashun's ship, with a large square printed on it.
"Fang... Fang... is a traitor Fang Xian?!"
"Good memory!" Another shout came from the side, and the flagship of the Fang family's First Fleet was no longer double-teamed.
The navy admiral looked at a young man who was sitting on the mast coolly, and his mood was not about fighting, like traveling.
"You!...this!..." The navy admiral was speechless. After stuttering many times, he turned over the railing and threw himself into the arms of the sea.
Zhang Dashun did not stop this time, maybe the sea is his best destination.
Then, two ironclad ships attached the Wanneng and slapped the Deck of the Wanneng. Tons of kiln sailors rushed out of the cabin.
Even the flagship Perpetual Youth was equipped with only more than 80 sailors. The admiral jumped into the sea and faced nearly 600 enemies, he had no choice but to surrender.
As the Perpetual Qing was captured, several other ships lit up their white flags, and only a few ships that had retreated from fire before were able to escape.
[Victory of the battle, defeating the First Fleet of Fujian Navy and the Second Fleet of Fujian Navy, and seizing 1.06 million gold coins.]
“……………It’s so rich, and the food and tax system is comfortable.”
Fang Xian held it in for so long, and had no time to wait any longer, so he captured these sailors and threw the navy's ships into the harbor of Aomen. He kept rowing and rushed to Quanzhou in the northeast.
The firepower of human propellers was unstoppable, and the soldiers were very fast. Fang Xian could not leave any chance for the enemy. Due to the defeat of the Fujian Navy, its share of all ports in East Asia decreased, which gave the Fang family Navy the opportunity to invest. Fang Xian successively occupied Quanzhou and Yizhouman investment, and then rushed to Hangzhou further.
Hangzhou is basically the last base of the Fujian Navy. Originally, the naval army was organized in Fujian and Zhejiang, but in this world, it was the only naval force of the Qing Dynasty. The actual base was in Hangzhou, the stronghold city.
Hangzhou is located in a sunken inland area. Strictly speaking, it is not near the sea and can only be reached through the Qiantang River. It seems that the designer of Glory likes this city very much, so he designed Hangzhou as a stronghold city, completely ignoring the existence of Shanghai.
Arriving at the entrance of Hangzhou, they were greeted by the last force of the Fujian Navy, four large Chinese sailboats that were durable and dissatisfied, and a new admiral who had never fought a naval battle.
Fang Xian couldn't bear it when he saw this situation, but when he thought that it was just a game, he felt relieved.
Kill the navy, there is always someone to do this.
The Battle of the Beiyang Navy, the Battle of the Wu Navy, the Battle of the Horse and the Tails of the Fujian Navy, these are unforgettable shame and pain in the history of Chinese maritime navigation. In a sense, we are not losing to the enemy, but ourselves. We are self-consistent, we are stubborn, and we are immersed in the glory of our predecessors. This leads to the fact that when we were posing as wooden sailboats, the French steel warships had already come; when we were using imported inferior shells and relying on corners to attack the enemy, the range of Japanese artillery was already twice that of ours.
Of course, the huge amount of funds for purchasing shells is used to celebrate the birthday of an empress dowager, so I won’t talk about it this time.
Even if Fang Xian is not in the game, even if he is facing the real Fujian Navy or the Beiyang Navy, his decision may not change. Instead of being destroyed by Japanese or foreign artillery, he would rather end the fleet with his own hands. Of course, if the Maguan Treaty treaty is 200 million taels of silver, it would be more reliable to put the 200 million taels of silver into his pocket...
To be continued...
