The north wind was blowing loudly. Tu Hai stood on the deck of a giant battleship painted red. He held the telescope in front of his eyes. Even if the north wind blew across his face, he remained steady.
Standing steadily on the deck, his skin has turned bronze from years of life at sea, but what remains unchanged is his resolute look.
"All the fleets are in T-shaped formation, all the artillery hatches are opened, and the artillery starts loading!".
With the battle flag and instruction flag raised on the Tuhai ship, the two Spanish galleons, five Dafu ships and more than a dozen armored fast cruisers surrounding the Dabao ship quickly formed a formation.
"Report to your lord, all cannonballs have been loaded!"
"fire!"
"Boom boom boom..."
With the rumbling sound of cannons, more than thirty bronze cannons on the left side of the Dabao ship Tu Hai was riding on made loud noises. Dozens of projectiles flew out of the cannon barrels and flew into the distance. When the cannonballs fell into
After the sea water, the water spray rising into the sky is quite spectacular.
From the telescope, Tu Hai saw that 500 meters ahead, the row of small boats used as targets were already flying with sawdust. Four or five of the more than ten small boats had been sunk, and the hit rate had reached 30%.
.
This is a good result, but Tu Hai is still not satisfied, because according to the information Tu Hai learned from Taiwan, the Dutch's hit rate in this situation can reach 50%. At the moment, Qingzhou
The navy is still not as good as others.
Although Tuhai also knew that his Qingzhou Navy had only been established for less than three years and could not compare with the Royal Dutch Navy, he still set the Dutch Navy as his goal and strived to surpass it.
Immediately afterwards, Tu Hai ordered the fleet to start practicing various combat formations. The fleet would change into a defensive circle for a while, a pointed formation for attack, and a T-shaped formation for attack.
"Well, it's not bad. These bastards change formations very quickly. It seems they are not lazy on weekdays." Tu Hai nodded with satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with this.
"Okay, get ready for the last live ammunition drill, and prepare each gun position to load solid ammunition immediately!"
As soon as Tu Hai's voice came out, he heard the lookout on the mast above his head shout loudly: "Sir, an unknown fleet has been spotted ahead, and they are heading towards us."
"Um...unidentified ship?"
Tu Hai was slightly startled, and he quickly raised his telescope and looked eastward. He saw more than a dozen small black dots slowly entering his eyes in his telescope.
Tu Hai observed the other party with his eyes, but his mouth did not stop, "Send my order, all ships will immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and form a T-shape to meet them."
"Dong dong dong level..."
A battle flag was immediately hoisted on one of the masts of the treasure ship, and with the sound of passionate drums, the fleet immediately formed a battle formation and headed east to meet them.
Just as Tu Hai commanded the fleet to meet them, the oncoming fleet also discovered Tu Hai and his navy. Almost at the same time, they formed the same formation and came towards them. Two of them came towards each other.
The fleets are about to collide together.
But the ensuing battle did not happen. On the contrary, Tu Hai and the others quickly lifted the battle alert, and after the fleet made a sharp turn, they firmly protected the approaching fleet.
Immediately, the two fleets burst out with bursts of enthusiastic shouts. Countless sailors from dozens of warships rushed onto the decks, cheering at each other, and the bursts of sound resounded through the sky, because their fleet was heading to Oparo.
The fleet is back, and it's full of people.
In the fleet wrapped in the middle, Lin Feng and Mo Hui were standing on the deck of the big treasure ship. At this time, Lin Feng's fat figure had completely disappeared, replaced by a very strong figure, and only he could be seen.
Her eyes were crying with tears, and she murmured softly: "Grandma, I finally returned to Qingzhou. I have lost so much weight over the past year that I no longer look like a human being."
And the deep-set eyes of Mo Hui, the deputy commander of Qingzhou Navy, also shot out a ray of excitement and pride. In the eyes of him, a dedicated soldier, he finally lived up to his responsibility by bringing this fleet back to Qingzhou safely.
Entrusted by huge people.
When Tu Hai led the warship supporters, a fleet that had returned from a long voyage, back to the Wanghai Fort port, the port, which had been deserted due to Dan's New Year celebrations, immediately became boiling. Countless soldiers and civilians poured out of Wanghai Fort, and the sound of firecrackers
resounded throughout the port.
On the deck of a Dafu ship, there were more than ten people who were different from the Oriental people. Some of them had blond hair, and some had red hair. Their faces were completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty people.
"My dear, is this the Ming Dynasty in the East? This port looks so big!"
A pleasant voice sounded on the deck, and a dignified red-haired woman with a few freckles on her face was exclaiming. This woman was Lillian, who came to the East with her boyfriend James.
Zamus, who was looking into the distance with his girlfriend, looked at the port covered in white and silver, with shock in his eyes. As the saying goes, a layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door. James, who has been sailing for nearly ten years, has been to many ports when he returns home.
, but he had never seen the port today, which consisted of ten long piers.
James made a visual inspection and found that each of these piers is at least 300 meters long, which means that each pier can dock ten ships of more than 800 tons. According to current Western standards, this is already a large port.
Already.
Moreover, Zams also saw that there were at least twenty ships moored in the port, and these ships were at least large warships of over 800 tons.
"This fleet is considered a formidable warship even in the West." Zamus thought to himself.
"Honey, what are you thinking about!"
Lilian on the side saw her silent boyfriend, shook his arm and asked curiously.
James was startled and quickly replied: "Oh, it's okay, I was just sighing. I didn't expect that there is such a huge port in the far east, which is bigger than our Amsterdam port."
"So, this is one of the largest ports in our country now?"
At this time, a voice came from behind them. The two Zams turned around and saw that it was their employer and boss, Mr. Kong Lin.
Kong Lin pointed to the port ahead and said with a smile in half-baked Dutch: "How about it? This port was only built the year before last, and there are more than one such port."
"Oh, is there such a port?" James and the two were surprised.
"That's it!" The mention of this scratched Kong Lin's itch, and he said with joy: "In Dengzhou, a few hundred miles away from here, the port there is also contracted and built. There is a chance
I'll take you to see it."
After wandering on the sea for nearly a year and getting along with the Dutch for more than half a year, Kong Lin unknowingly became infected with the cheerful personality of Westerners, and now he could brag to these foreigners who came from afar about his "
"Heroic deeds" made his vanity feel satisfied.
"Oh, boss, you are so awesome, I never thought you could contract such a big project.
"Of course, although your boss, I only contracted a small part of it, it is still a very big project."
Just as Kong Lin was boasting proudly to his men, there was a commotion ahead.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are you not allowed to get off the ship?" At this time, a sailor who came with the ship pointed ahead in surprise and said, "Look, why are there so many sergeants at the dock?"
Kong Lin and others looked in the direction of the sailor's finger, and saw groups of sergeants wearing red armor running in front of them. They were holding rifles and running towards the dock in neat steps. Some of them were
Ba Jing came to the dock and blocked it.
"Boss, these soldiers are not here to arrest us, are they?"
James and Lillian on the side looked at the situation in front of them and couldn't help being frightened, and quickly asked their employer.
"It's nonsense, no one can catch me",...we!"
Kong Lin glared at them and said to himself: "Your boss, I am Pang Dan's brother-in-law. As long as I don't commit any crime, who dares to arrest me?"
Even though he said so, the people on the boat were still a little uneasy when they saw so many soldiers coming to the port and blocking the dock to prevent people on the boat from disembarking.
They waited for another half an hour, until everyone on the boat became impatient, there was another sound of horse hooves from the front, and black spots appeared on the land to the north. These black spots soon appeared in
In the eyes of everyone.
It turned out that these were hundreds of cavalry, and these cavalry were speeding toward the port.
Soon, the figures of these cavalry slowly appeared in everyone's eyes. When this team of cavalry appeared on the dock, everyone saw clearly that this was a team of more than 300 people, headed by a
A burly general wearing a battle armor made of red stainless steel.
He wears a helmet on his head with red fluff on the top of the helmet, and the cavalry behind him all carry rifles and have scimitars on their waists. From a glance, you can tell that these cavalry are elites who have been fighting for a long time.
.
Seeing the person coming, the soldiers and civilians on the dock immediately started cheering loudly again, and the roars went straight into the sky.
"Long live, long live King Zhou!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, visitors kept waving to the soldiers and civilians on the pier.
"Who is this man? Is he your king?"
Seeing the cheering crowd in the port, James and others couldn't help being stunned. They all looked ahead in surprise. Lillian even asked her boss stupidly.
Seeing the surprised looks of these Yi people, Kong Lin replied with a smile: "Yes, he is the ruler of the Ming Dynasty in the east, my brother-in-law, General Pang Dan of Dingguo, as I told you."
