Looking at Xiao Chen's appearance, Bai Sang was secretly happy.
What happened to Dongchang? What happened to Colonel Ziyi?
If you hold the power of life and death, people would dare to kill even the imperial court's Minister of Rites. However, as long as you dare to board my ship, I will let you die in the sea.
By killing Captain Ziyi, I have accomplished a great service.
As long as Mr. Zhao drives away that short-sighted person Tang Xing, won't the position of commander of Songmen Guards be beckoning to me?
Thinking of this, Bai Sang seemed to have seen himself standing on the observation deck of Songmen Guards, scolding other thousands of households.
I couldn't help grinning and laughing.
On the spaceship, the soldiers who had just performed also jumped off one by one and lined up beside them.
Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and tapped back and forth on the hull.
Duan Tianming, who was on the side, followed behind Xiao Chen, frowning.
"What's wrong, not satisfied? I think this spaceship has no problem chasing Japanese pirates. What did you find wrong?" Xiao Chen asked, looking at Duan Tianming's sad face.
"If this spaceship is to be launched, it cannot be operated without a small number of people. We have to leave a team of people on the ground dedicated to pushing the ship. Moreover, when we go out and come back, the bottom of the ship is rubbing against the beach. The number of times is too many, and the bottom of the ship is not very thick anymore.
?In case of water leakage, how can we get back?"
Xiao Chen nodded: "If there is a dedicated person to implement it, it can be solved, as long as there are more people. However, the bottom of the boat will be worn out if it keeps rubbing. If there is a water leak, won't a whole boat of people be buried in the sea?"
"Besides, I think this spaceship can only move around offshore at most."
"Why is this?"
"Let's not talk about whether it can withstand big waves. The most important thing is how long can it be sustained by manpower?" Duan Tianming said.
"It's a spaceship, it's just for temporary pursuit of Japanese pirates. How do you expect us to chase them into the deep sea? Except for the official ships that are dozens of feet long, if a small boat enters the deep sea, it just doesn't want to survive." Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at Duan Tianming.
.
"Hey, the ships in the canal are all corroded. The sea water is salty. How come these ships are not corroded at all?" Duan Tianming asked in surprise.
Immediately, he lay down beside the boat and looked at it carefully.
At this glance, I saw several small forehead cracks.
Inside the cracks is the original gray-brown color of the hull corroded by sea water.
"Xiao Chen, come here and take a look at this." Duan Tianming greeted in a low voice while pointing at the crack.
"Renovated?" Xiao Chen frowned, "Look at the other ships."
Qianhu Baisang, who was in the distance, sneered in his heart as he watched the two men looking left and right at the spacecraft.
He's such a bumpkin, he's probably never even seen a boat.
The performance just now must have shocked them.
But that's fine, if you dare to sail these ships out to sea, then I will prepare a celebration banquet in advance.
After looking at all the ships, Xiao Chen's frown deepened.
All ships have cracks.
The deepest cracks reached almost half of the hull.
Xiao Chen came to a conclusion: These ships are all old ships that have been soaked in sea water for countless years. The safety of going to sea cannot be guaranteed at all.
"Didn't they prepare these ships for us on purpose?" Duan Tianming looked at Xiao Chen's gloomy face, as if he couldn't believe his own judgment.
"We'll find out soon after asking. If they really prepared it deliberately, then let them drive these ships to track down the Japanese pirates." There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Chen's voice.
For no reason, these people started digging holes for Dongchang. Who else would do this except Zhao Wuji.
It seems that the words of Tang Xing, the commander of the Songmen Guards, are correct. The entire Songmen Guards are actually Zao Wuji's personal guardhouse with pay from the imperial court.
This is true for the Songmen Guards, but what about the Haimen Guards?
These two are both coastal defense stations. Is it possible that the Haimen Guards have also met the same fate as the Songmen Guards?
Watching Xiao Chen and the two of them inspecting the ship carefully, Bai Sang was afraid that they would see the flaw, so he walked over slowly.
"These ships are all newly built this year. If you need it, sir, just let me know in advance." Bai Sang said with a smile.
"Good thing, fast and flexible. If I need to chase down Japanese pirates, I will kill Qianhu immediately." A smile also appeared on Xiao Chen's face.
"I will prepare crossbows, gunpowder arrows, and arrows for you. As long as you give your order, you can use these ships at will."
"Are these ships specially prepared for Dongchang?"
"Yes." Bai Sang nodded, "From now on, these ships will be exclusively used by Dongchang."
"Okay, okay. Bai Qianhu is really thoughtful." With a smile on his face, Xiao Chen had murderous intent in his heart.
"Master Zhao requested that we fully cooperate with Dongchang. This is what my subordinates should do." Bai Sang said very "humbly".
"Since there are no Japanese pirates in Bai Qianhu's defense area, I'll take my leave first." Xiao Chen turned around, and without waiting for Bai Sang's reply, he led a group of people up the trail.
Waiting for Xiao Chen and others to disappear completely, a deputy Qianhu came around: "Sir Qianhu, won't the captain in purple find any flaws in these ships? They just surrounded the ships and watched them for a long time."
"Discover? What can he find as a person who has never even seen a ship? Arrange manpower to cut the bottom of the ship a little thinner, making sure that they never return." There was a trace of viciousness in Bai Sang's eyes.
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to take action right now." Deputy Qianhu responded hurriedly.
Back at the Songmen Guard station, Xiao Chen was so angry that his throat almost smoked.
He took off his captain's hat and threw it on the table.
"What's wrong? The fire can't be suppressed?" Duan Tianming walked in with a smile, carrying a kettle.
"If we didn't want to wipe out the Japanese pirates, I really wanted to kill those thousands of households on the spot, and then go to Dusi, Zhejiang, and chop off Zhao Wuming's head." Xiao Chen said angrily with his arms on the table.
"Kill if you want. We in Dongchang want to kill people, but we still have to endure it? If you can't swallow this breath, I will go over and pick up the heads of those thousands of households." Duan Tianming put the kettle on the table.
Turn around and leave.
"Why are you going?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Whoever dares to play tricks on our Dongchang, I will kill that Qianhu named Bai."
"How can he handle such a thing urgently by himself? There are many people involved in this matter in Longmen."
"What are you afraid of? I'll kill all the people in Qianhu Station for him." With that said, Duan Tianming prepared to leave again.
"I said, can't you just listen to what I have to say?" Xiao Chen shook his head.
If this bastard doesn't stand in his way, he will really destroy the Longmen Institute.
"Okay, you say it." Standing there, Duan Tianming looked towards the team of divine machine soldiers outside, as if they were ready to set off at any time.
"Killing them doesn't matter, but who will defend the location of Longmen Station? Although it is a dangerous location, once the Japanese pirates climb the cliff, wouldn't the large number of people behind them become fish and meat on their pallets, allowing them to slaughter them?
"
"What should we do? Let's forget it like this? Let's let those who are playing tricks on our Dongchang just like this?" Duan Tianming said angrily with his eyes wide open.
"It's impossible to let them go. Anyone who has second thoughts about Dongchang will never survive, let alone digging holes for Dongchang. However, we have to wait until we have completely wiped out the Japanese pirates before we can deal with them.
Let’s talk about it later. Leave them alone and defend that area for the imperial court first.”
The expression on Xiao Chen's face softened a lot.
Being able to make some contribution to the people before dying would be considered worthy of the food and salary paid to them by the imperial court for so many years.
"Then let's save their lives first." Duan Tianming picked up the kettle on the table and started pouring tea for the two of them.
The weather at the end of June was extremely hot and humid at the seaside.
After this lap, I don’t know how much sweat flowed down my body.
Drinking plenty of water when you get the chance won't hurt.
"I wonder what Tang Xing, the commander of the Songmen Guards, is doing now." Xiao Chen looked out the door while holding the tea bowl.
"How about we have some tea and we go find him?"
"No." Xiao Chen shook his head, "There might be a secret agent of Zhao Wuming around him. I think it's better to call him over. Only people from Dongchang live in this courtyard, and they don't speak out loud.
vent."
"Are you planning to interrogate Tang Xing about the matter at Longmen Institute?"
"There's no question of questioning him, but we can use this matter to test his tone. Although he said that Zhao Wuming ignored him, who can guarantee that such remarks were not Zhao Wuming's arrangement?"
Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.
Zhao Wuming shouldn't be unaware of Dongchang's reputation.
It is entirely possible that he used Qianhu Station to divert his attention, allowing Tang Xing to use a trick to get close to him, and then dig a bigger hole for Dongchang.
How could such an old fox despise a powerful opponent like Dongchang?
