I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 104 Whose General Is This So Brave?
Chapter 103

In the original Dengzhou navy, Li Fang was just a small boss. It was easy to enter Dengzhou city, but if he wanted to go to sea, he needed the approval of the superior.Since he became the navy of the Ning Navy, especially when the navy needs to transport supplies and personnel to southern Liaoning, Li Fang has become more free.

The squadron led by Li Fang consisted of twelve warships and three flat-bottomed transport ships, and they went to Jinzhouwei every five days. This job had become a routine job.And Mrs. Peng will drive a small fishing boat and stop on the route that Li Fang passed. When the Ning Navy transport fleet led by Li Fang passes by, Mrs. Peng will shout at the fleet led by Li Fang: "Mr. Lord, do you want the abalone you just caught?"

Whenever this happens, Li Fang will laugh and say, "It's okay not to mention abalone, but if you mention abalone, you will always feel a little greedy and want to eat abalone!"

"Now the abalone has just been put into the pot, please wait, sir!"

When Li Fang asked the big boat to tow the fishing boat, Li Fang boarded the fishing boat to have a private meeting with Mrs. Peng.

On the one hand, Li Fang had a long drought and rains, while Peng's house was on fire and it was out of control.

Li Fang basically meets Peng once, and the next meeting is scheduled.

Mrs. Peng: "Master Jun, do you want the abalone that was brought in just now?"

Li Fang: "Yes."

A certain soldier also said: "I also want to eat abalone!"

Li Fang frowned: "I think you want to eat shit!"

However, at the agreed time this time, Mrs. Peng did not show up. Li Fang felt a little uneasy, so he drove a wheel boat to the small island where Mrs. Peng lived.

This is an uninhabited small island, with a small area of ​​only five or six hundred acres. There are as many as four hundred and five such small islands along the coast of Dengzhou. When Li Fang came to this small island , found that Mrs. Peng was not here, and the small house she lived in seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time.

Li Fang was vaguely surprised.

At this time, a confidant who followed Li Fang to the island was also Li Fang's family name Li Hu. Li Hu was different from Li Fang. When Nurhachi slaughtered the Liao people, Li Fang immediately went to the Dongjiang army. , while Li Hu fled into the deep mountains and old forests with his blind old lady, relying on hunting for a living.

He actually lived in Dahei Mountain for six years, until Li Hu's mother died of illness, Li Hu then went to southern Liaoning and returned to the island with the Dongjiang Army.

According to the traces left by the scene, Li Hu found other outsiders who had come to this island, ranging from a dozen or twenty people, and there had been fights. He found some messy footprints on the ground outside the front of the house, and Frozen maroon traces.

Li Fang's complexion became very ugly. This maroon stain was a dry bloodstain.

Obviously, something happened to Mrs. Peng.

Li Fang saw a bead flower smashed in the mud on the ground, which was a gift from Li Fang to Mrs. Peng. Although this bead flower was worthless, it cost Li Fang a full month and a half of military pay.

Picking up this pearl flower, Li Fang was in a mess at the time. Fortunately, he was not too stupid. Peng lived here, and Li Fang felt that Meng Xianhan must know. If he didn't even know this, he would support it. With more than [-] pirates under his command, his head might be separated from his body one day.

Just as Li Fang guessed, Meng Xianhan knew from the beginning that Mrs. Peng was living here. Although Meng Xianhan spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, he did not kill the root cause, because Meng Xianhan's original intention was to force Mrs. Peng to bow to him. Meng Xianhan is not bad for Peng's meal.

But the problem is that Peng's temper is a donkey's temper, she eats soft but not hard, the harder she is, the more she resists, Meng Xianhan did not make Peng surrender, but made Peng want to kill Meng Xianhan even more.

Meng Xianhan did not send anyone to monitor Peng until he met Li Fang, until someone saw Peng get off Li Fang's boat and meet Li Fang every now and then.

Now Meng Xianhan couldn't bear it any longer. Although he abandoned Mrs. Peng first, even if he didn't want Mrs. Peng, Mrs. Peng was still his stepmother in name, and Mrs. Peng could not cuckold him.

Therefore, Meng Xianhan sent people to arrest Mrs. Peng and lock her in the dungeon of Nandao. Then he sent people to monitor the small island. Whenever Li Fang came, he would be arrested together.

Just when Li Fang was thinking about it, there were shouts of killing, and more than 20 pirates rushed towards Li Fang...

It's just that Meng Xianhan didn't take into account one thing, that is, Li Fang is not an ordinary boy. Although Li Fang looks like a boy, this boy is a bit like Gao Jie who gave Li Zicheng a cuckold.

Gao Jie was originally Li Zicheng's fellow villager, and he rebelled with Li Zicheng. During the rebellion, Li Zicheng plundered prefectures and counties, and snatched a beautiful woman named Xing, and Li Zicheng married her as his concubine.This Xing family is smart and brave. After becoming Li Zicheng's concubine, she has been fighting with the army and helped Li Zicheng manage the distribution of military supplies.

However, Li Zicheng was busy with important matters, but he ignored Xing Shi. Xing Shi came and went to Gao Jie, Li Zicheng's subordinate, and had a good impression.Gao Jie and Xing, who had an adulterous affair, were always afraid of being discovered by Li Zicheng, so they simply chose to elope.

By the way, Li Zicheng was not greened once, he was greened twice in his life. Li Zicheng was born in Shuangquanbao, Mizhi County, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi. His father was Li Shouzhong. Although he was a farmer, he was relatively wealthy, at least a rich peasant.Li Shouzhong gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Li Hongming, and the second son Li Hongji, who was Li Zicheng.

When Li Zicheng arrived, Li Shouzhong tried to find a wife for his son and grandson. His grandson Li Guo married the Deng family, but Li Zicheng was half a year late because he "wanted to choose a beautiful woman", in layman's terms, he wanted to marry a beautiful wife.

Half a year later, he really found a beautiful wife named Han Jin'er.But this Han Jin'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is a beautiful woman, but she is lustful by nature, and she was married before marrying Li Zicheng. She was a concubine to a prison student in Yan'an, and she married Li Zicheng after being abandoned.

Han Jin'er had an affair with a gangster named Gai Huer in the village. Li Zicheng caught Han Jiner and Gai Huer in bed. Li Zicheng was furious and wanted to kill Gai Huer, but Gai Huer escaped.So Li Zicheng, in a rage, killed the prostitute Han Jin'er.

Gao Jie is also a fierce man who can defeat a hundred with one, and Li Fang is also very strong in martial arts, and with the blessing of a magical weapon from Cheng Shijie, he and Li Hu, each with a dog-leg knife, turned defeat into victory.

In fact, the pirates did not have a strong will to fight. When Li Fang chopped down the sixth man with a dog-leg knife, the pirates surrendered.

Only then did Li Fang learn the truth of the matter from the mouths of these pirates. He also knew that Mrs. Peng was not dead.Now Peng's life will not be in danger for the time being, but it will be uncertain after a long time.

Under such circumstances, Li Fang ventured to find Cheng Shijie...

Of course, Li Fang's risk is very high. If the commander-in-chief is bewitched to save his mistress, once this matter is leaked, he will have a hard time dying.

It's just that Cheng Shijie really wanted to do something to Meng Xianhan. First, Cheng Shijie was short of money again.

Secondly, the navy also needs some credit. After all, it is impossible to use the navy as a coolie, and there will be complaints after a long time.Cheng Shijie didn't guess that Li Fang persuaded him to send troops for the sake of Peng Shi. Cheng Shijie only thought that Li Fang was ambitious and wanted to use this opportunity to make meritorious service.

Although Li Fang and Li Zhixiang are brothers, Li Fang, the brother, is not convinced by Li Zhixiang. It is just time to promote Li Fang, check and balance Li Zhixiang, and prevent Li Zhixiang from being the only one in the navy.

……

In Acropolis of Jinzhou, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Cheng Shijie still has some work experience in smelting, but he is a complete layman when it comes to road construction. In fact, road construction work was not privately owned in the Ming Dynasty, and almost all of them were organized by the government. Officials who are good at general affairs can build roads. But Cheng Shijie won't.

He thought too simply, considering that roads are the arteries of industrial development, even if this road cannot be built in the near future, the process is always an opportunity to accumulate experience and talents, and in the future when building hard roads, it will be less traveled Many detours.

Everything has a beginning, and with a beginning, there is a future...

Cheng Shijie figured this out, and decided to believe in the volunteer Zhang Huaize in front of him. Of course, Cheng Shijie has no choice now. Don't look at Song Xiance's eloquence when he speaks. If he is really asked to do things, he doesn't do well. This is a person who is good at playing tricks. people.

It's not that Song Xiance is useless, but that it needs to be used in the right place.In fact, in this world, there are no useless people, only those who are not good at leading.Song Xiance has a good eye, but he has vision and can be a manager in charge of propaganda, mainly responsible for unifying ideas.

Ma Shilin wanted to be Bailihou, the head of a county.Cheng Shijie asked him to be responsible for registering the household registration of Qimin. This task was only a few words in Lao Cheng's pen, but in fact it required a lot of work. Sand the way to weave them in a hundred households.

For now, Cheng Shijie definitely doesn't have the energy to build a hundred households. He can only gather ten hundred households in one town in the way that ten hundred households form a town, and let the Tuntian army set up towns .

This work involves the use of professional knowledge in sociology, overall planning, and macro-control. How many acres of reclaimable land does each town need, and how big a town is needed to accommodate ten hundred households, and the hundred households are connected to the hundred households? The difference in the number of people between households is huge.

All this needs to be done by Ma Shilin and his subordinates.

Since Zhang Huaize is good at building roads, let him be trained as the future minister of transportation, planning, transportation, and driving in southern Liaoning.

Cheng Shijie looked at Zhang Huaize and said, "When you build the road, list all the tools you need!"

Zhang Huaize thought for a while and said: "Vehicles don't need to be specially equipped, but you need to prepare at least a thousand carts, and stones and stone mills. In fact, these things are easy to handle, and there are other ways to solve them. However, four thousand shovels, three A thousand-handed big hammer is absolutely indispensable..."

Zhang Huaihan continued: "The commander-in-chief needs to reclaim wasteland in the spring next year, so ditches must be indispensable. The current weather will be dry and flooded. The ditches and roads can be repaired together!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Huai wrote: "I wonder if the commander-in-chief can use his pen and ink?"

Cheng Shijie took out a soft pen from his pocket and handed it directly to Zhang Huaize.

Zhang Huaize took the fountain pen and was slightly taken aback. Although he had never seen this kind of pen, he also knew how to write without ink?
However, Cheng Shijie unscrewed the cap of the pen and wrote directly on a piece of paper: "Cheng Shijie", Cheng Shijie's signature, that's pretty good, after all, when he was a technician in Hangang Group, he needed to sign every day. There are more than 300 inspection reports, and no matter how bad the handwriting is, it can be practiced after a long time.

Zhang Huaize took the soft pen, and after only a few tries, he mastered the writing skills of the soft pen. Then he took the soft pen and began to draw seriously on the paper. He drew the construction drawings of ditches and hard-surfaced roads. Instead of being used as a drawing tool, he could actually draw straight lines with a soft pen, just like he could draw with a square.

Seeing this, Cheng Shijie understood that this Zhang Huaize is a person with real ability, and with this drawing ability, he may instantly kill 90.00% of people.

In fact, Cheng Shijie can also draw this kind of graphics, but the problem is that he doesn't know how to solve the real problems encountered in this era of comprehension.

As early as later generations, the official explanation for the origin and name of the road was that an English Scot designed a road with a high middle and low sides.The road is paved with gravel.Not only is it flat and solid, but also the cost is very low.This Scot is called John Macadan.The road he designed is called "Macadan Road".Later, it was spread to China, where it was abbreviated as Malu by the Chinese.

The road with high middle and low sides is called a road?However, this design method in ancient China originated in the Qin Dynasty. The roads in the Qin Dynasty were comparable to the roads in ancient Rome. Instead of stones, they were only rammed with clay, and they can still be used today without weeds.After the Han Dynasty, stone roads gradually appeared, and drainage and other related facilities were also considered when building roads.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, the main roads of a general city should be ten horses parallel in width, while the main roads in Yuan Dadu should be twenty horses parallel in width.Ten horses run side by side, and the distance between each horse is one meter. Adding the width of the legs of the horse and the rider, one horse is about 1.5 meters to two meters, which means that ten horses are equivalent to 20 meters. Twenty horses, equivalent to 40 meters.

Later Ming and Qing dynasties also followed this standard.Even the width is measured by the number of horses, which is actually called a road. It is an expression of cultural lack of self-confidence when it is forced to pull on John Macadan in England.John Maccadan was born in 1756 and died in 1836. Does China still need to learn from Maccadan to build roads?

There is an official road in the author’s hometown in the Sui Dynasty. It was not covered until the expressway was built around 2006. This is a road built with rammed earth. It is also high in the middle and has drainage ditches on both sides. After more than 1000 years, no grass has grown. .

The hard surface road construction drawing drawn by Zhang Huaize has drainage ditches, sand-fixing lawns, road protection trees, and stopping places for pedestrians and carriages to stop temporarily. The wheels and axles of ancient carriages are vulnerable parts, and long-distance carriages They will bring their own accessories, and when maintenance is needed, the carriage will be parked in a temporary widening area on the side of the road for easy maintenance.

Cheng Shijie looked at Zhang Huaize, who was writing furiously, and said, "The monthly salary is five taels of silver?"

"The monthly salary...five taels?"

Cheng Shijie, according to the thinking of later generations, for technical and management talents, five taels of silver is a little less, it is true, the purchasing power of silver is about 500 yuan, counted as seven hundred yuan, five taels is [-] yuan .

In later generations, with a salary of 500 yuan, it would be very difficult for him to recruit a younger migrant worker. As for a technician who can write and draw, he doesn't even have to think about it.

Seeing Zhang Huaize's distressed face, Cheng Shijie thought about it again, Zhang Huaize was born in the Zhang family of Laiyang, and he came from a big family. This family is used to seeing the big world, so this little money is really a bit shabby.

Cheng Shijie pondered for a while, and decided to increase the size, after all, he is a rare engineering talent in this era.He thought for a while and said, "Zhang Huaize, as long as you can build this road to my satisfaction, I will give you a salary of ten taels of silver a month..."

Ten taels of silver is equivalent to the income of a general-level officer in the Ning Navy. Of course, if there is a war, the total legal income will be higher. If you are brave enough and lucky enough, earning 100 taels of silver is not a problem.

Ten taels of silver, in fact, Cheng Shijie felt that it was a little little, he said a little embarrassedly: "You can also see that this handsome is not a rich man, the highest is like this, no matter how high the reward is, it is not impossible to pay, but now Money is really tight, buying horses, seeds, farm tools, cattle, and the clothes, armor and weapons of the soldiers of this commander all cost money, to tell you the truth..."

"Marshal, are you sure it's Wuliang..."

"No, ten taels of silver!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "In addition, I will reward you with a house. If you want to live in Jinzhou City, there is only one acre. If you want to build a city, I can give you two acres. I can give you five acres..."

Cheng Shijie's money wasn't too much, and more than 600 million taels actually couldn't hold up too many places to spend money.

"The humble job means that the commander-in-chief must not make a mistake!"

"Oh!"

Cheng Shijie thought badly. It turned out that Zhang Huaize didn't dislike the lack of money, but was worried about the amount of money. The offspring of the big family actually did not live better than the servants.

"The commander-in-chief said that the monthly salary is ten taels of silver?"

"That's right, it's ten taels of silver!"

"Marshal, Zhang Huaize's surname is Zhang. There is no way to change this. Every penny of Zhang's money in Laiyang is covered with blood. The money Huaize has earned from the Marshal is clean!"

"That's right!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You can spend it with confidence, ten taels of silver can take several concubines, as long as your waist is good enough!"

Zhang Huaize's eyes became eager. He didn't want to take a concubine anymore, but he still wanted to marry a wife. With a wife, his old mother would stop nagging him.

Cheng Shijie didn't care about this trivial matter, and directly called Zhou Yandong, Chen Guodong, including Yang Yunniang, and Song Xiance, and asked them to be in charge of connecting with Zhang Huaize.

Although Cheng Shijie delegated power to Zhang Huaize, it was not completely unrestricted. Chen Guodong was in charge of supervising whether there were any violations during his execution, Yang Yunniang was in charge of reviewing his accounts, Song Xiance was in charge of keeping an eye on the ideological problems of the labor reform team, and Zhou Yandong was in charge of other matters. support and assistance.

It is best for Zhang Huaize to have no dissent, and if there is a dissent, it is the way to get it.

……

South Island, here is a natural cave with a small area but only one exit. Because of this, it was transformed into Meng Xianhan's dungeon.

In the dungeon, Mrs. Peng was lying on the ground with bruises all over her body.

Meng Xianhan looked at Mrs. Peng and said, "Ma'am, why are you doing this? One night couple, one hundred days of kindness, you couple together, why is this..."

Meng Xianhan had no choice but to be cruel to Peng Shi, because when he was fleeing, he was wounded in the vitals by the crossbow arrows of the officers and soldiers. Although he doesn't have to squat down to pee now, there are some things he can't do what he wants.

Meng Xianhan was a leader, his son was dead, if he had no offspring, it was inevitable that the people below would have dissent. His beloved concubine, Mrs. Song, because Mrs. Song had a child in her belly.Very fortunately, the Song family's child has been born, and it is the son of Mengxian who has been longing for and dreaming in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, his beloved concubine, Song Shi, died of dystocia while giving birth to her son. At this time, Peng Shi was his step-wife, and as long as she was willing to help him raise his "son" Meng Changen, he could let the past go.

It's just that it's a pity that Mrs. Peng no longer believes in him.

Peng wasn't even in the mood to answer him. Peng's biggest regret was that he didn't meet Li Fang at the right time. She believes that with Peng's financial resources, Li Fang can be promoted to a third rank, and she can also rely on her husband's honor. Maybe Li Fang can earn her a royal wife back.

Only when she was with Li Fang did Peng feel that a woman could be so happy.

Now it fell into the hands of Meng Xianhan, and Peng wanted to die.

Seeing Peng's silence, Meng Xianhan decided to wait. Only by capturing Peng's lover can he be forced to submit. Meng Xianhan has already thought about how to deal with Li Fang. Fang wanted to keep Mrs. Peng and Li Fang together. In the future, Mrs. Peng would be pregnant, and another "one dead body and two lives" would not only preserve his reputation, but also better conceal the origin of his son Meng Changen.

Meng Xianhan is very confident that Mrs. Peng will definitely change his mind.

Meng Xianhan didn't read much, so he doesn't know that his thinking has been distorted...

"Come on!"

"Master, please order!"

"Prepare the dishes for Madam, and send two dexterous maidservants to take care of Madam!"

"Yes……"

Just then, the sound of messy footsteps came.A brawny man with a big arm and a round waist barged in with disheveled clothes, rolled and knelt down in front of Meng Xianhan and screamed repeatedly: "The boss...not good...then...that dog day...Dengzhou... Sailor..."

A stench emanated from him, and everyone's eyes could not help but focus on his lower skirt. Meng Xianhan immediately covered his nose and scolded: "You are a murderer, what's wrong..."

The name of this brawny man was Chen Chuanzhi, he was born as a follower of Meng Xianhan, he was quite brave, and he snatched Meng Xianhan out of the encirclement of the officers and soldiers many times.

Peng Shi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up, her eyes were sharp: "My man is here, and my man brought the Dongjiang army to kill him, old dog, you can ask for more blessings!"

"Before I die, I will kill you..."

Meng Xianhan turned around and led the crowd away.

The naval forces of the Ning Navy are very familiar with the hydrological information on the doorstep of Dengzhou. As long as there is no strong wind or heavy rain, a large number of fishing boats will go out to sea to catch fish and shrimp. They will set off in the morning and return to Hong Kong in the evening or the next day to send a large amount of seafood ashore. Sell ​​to the vegetable market.

In fact, most of the fishing boats near the South Island were Meng Xianhan's eyeliner. When he saw the navy's arrival, Meng Xianhan received the news.

Knowing that the Dengzhou navy was coming, Meng Xianhan didn't panic, nor did he run away. In his eyes, the Dengzhou navy was the fat in his mouth. As long as he fired a cannon, the Dengzhou navy would collapse. Capture a few more warships.

What Meng Xianhan didn't expect was that oranges born in Huainan were oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei were oranges. After the Dengzhou Navy joined the Ning Navy, it completely changed.

When Li Zhixiang saw the fishing boat evacuating quickly, he felt something was wrong: "These are the eyes of bandits, fire!"

"Boom..."

It is a pity that the navy of this era has technical problems with artillery, and the range is very short. Even the first brother of the navy of Europa, the current Spanish Armada, they can only reach within [-] yards in naval battles. Fire the cannon.

Because in this era, no country has invented the stabilizer system for artillery, and the stabilizer system for artillery has been invented, so that the artillery has the ability to fire while marching. This equipment can only be invented after World War II.

Although naval guns at sea, especially the Europa 42-pound and 48-pound naval guns, have the ability to shoot more than 3000 meters, the problem is that the sea is not flat. Once the warship fluctuates, only God knows where the shells will hit.

The current naval guns can only rely on luck. If you are lucky, one shot will hit the target. If you are not lucky, you will not be able to hit it for a few days.

Just like the epic battle between the Spanish Armada and the British Navy, from July 1588, 7 to August 16, a total of 8 days, the Armada arrived at its destination in the sea of ​​Calais.Now let's talk about the losses of both parties.The Armada went through 2 naval battles, with a total of 4 killed and 167 injured, plus a total of 251 personnel from the two captured capital ships (the above-mentioned wounded were those with severed limbs and blind eyes).England's losses were about half of the Armada's, so neither side lost much anyway.

There were more than 300 warships in the Ning Navy Navy, and the artillery roared, hitting the water column soaring into the sky. As a result, these small fishing boats were still sailing quickly on the sea.

Looking at the battleships of the Dengzhou Navy on the sea, Meng Xianhan and the more than [-] pirates under his command shouted excitedly: "We've made a fortune, we've made a fortune, with so many warships, we've made a fortune!"

Ning Navy soldiers also shouted: "Get rich!"

The battleships on both sides were like two huge bulls rushing towards each other, and a naval battle without massive technology officially kicked off.

The Dengzhou Navy's method of victory is actually the same as that of the pirates under Meng Xianhan's command. Both sides use artillery to intimidate them, and then arrive at the jumping gang to fight.

At this moment, the 42-pound heavy-duty naval gun located on the flagship of the Ning Navy Navy, by coincidence, fired a shell at a distance of more than 3000 meters, directly hitting a pirate ship.

The shell unexpectedly hit below the waterline of the pirate ship, and a large amount of sea water poured into the cabin, and Dang even turned into a submarine and dived down, never to emerge again.

The robbery was not successful, and they were fucked. The pirates were furious, and they also set up cannons to bombard the warships of the Dengzhou Navy.

These pirates are also very brave enough, but the guys in their hands are leftovers from others. Those obsolete matchlock guns and smoothbore guns are basically sold to the pirates by the original officers of the navy.

What's more, these cannons can be regarded as antiques. The longest casting time is more than 200 years, and they were cast as early as the Hongwu period.

In this way, the pirates still regarded these rubbish as treasures, and all kinds of their messy artillery fired at the same time, and the sound of the cannons was rumbling and powerful.

The navy of the Ning Navy was very frightened by the shelling of the soldiers and pirates, reloading and launching desperately...

As for running away, it never occurred to them.

Since the Dengzhou navy was reorganized by Cheng Shijie, they have enjoyed all the benefits of the officers and men of the Ning Navy. For example, as military members, Cheng Shijie distributes food and silver during the festivals, and their military members are twice as expensive as Tuntian military households or craftsmen. , Others give ten catties, they give twenty catties.Others give one tael of silver, and the military family will give two taels of silver.

What's more, they can work or farm in the factories established by Ning Haijun, and in the hundreds of households in the fields. The school is the tallest and most spectacular building in Jinzhou.

As long as they kill the enemy, they will be rewarded with fields and houses. Once they escape, not only will they be punished by military law, but their family members will also be driven away. In these years, except for Ning Haijun, it is not easy for them to find a stable way to eat.

What's more, as long as they die in battle, their families will get the right to reclaim one hundred acres of land, tax exemption for five years, and tax for ten and a half years.

At the price Cheng Shijie offered them, even if they bought a big girl, they could buy a whole house.It's a good deal to sell this life to Cheng Shijie.

Sailor Ning was not scared away by the pirates' artillery, which made Meng Xianhan feel very strange: "How did this bunch of stupid officers and soldiers change their nature?"

"Maybe there is a big man sitting in the battle!"

Chen Chuanzhi, who changed into a pair of trousers, said with a smile: "The Dengzhou navy is very poor. Their ammunition must be good. It won't be long before their artillery will fail!"

The ideal is full, but the reality is too skinny.

Another pirate ship was hit by heavy artillery. This time it did not sink directly, but because the pirate ship was too low, the mast was interrupted and lost power.

Li Fang was riding a small wheeled boat, covered with heavy iron armor. If he accidentally fell into the water, he would definitely sink to the bottom like a weight.

But he can't care so much now, for Peng Shi, he is desperate.

The wheel boat was very fast and rushed directly to a pirate ship. Li Fang yelled at his soldiers: "Put it on the trestle!"

This kind of trestle bridge with a hook is no more than three feet wide. Once it falls, the iron hook will hook the enemy's warship and cannot break free.

Li Fang rushed onto the pirate ship along the trestle bridge, and two pirates held bows and arrows to shoot Li Fang.

Li Fang quickly pulled out the small ax pinned to his waist. This kind of ax was his hidden weapon, weighing about one and a half catties, and within thirty steps, he would die instantly.

Seeing the ax flying over, the two pirates bent down hastily, and in the blink of an eye, they jumped onto the pirate ship. The three-foot-long Qi family army swung it up, and one after another pirates were hacked to death on board by Li Fang.

There were also two surviving pirates who jumped into the sea in fright.

You must know that this is the seawater in the twelfth lunar month, and the temperature is almost close to zero. If you jump into the seawater and persist for 15 minutes, you will lose temperature and die. Water is not very useful at all.

As the first battleship of the Dengzhou Navy to meet the enemy, Li Fang and his wheeler naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Shen Shikui, the former deputy general of the Dongjiang Army Navy, now the deputy general of the Ning Navy Navy and the commander of the former battalion, asked in surprise: "Whose general is this so brave?"

Although Li Fang was born in the Navy of the Dongjiang Army, the problem is that Shen Shikui's status is too different from his, and he is not a general who loves soldiers like a son, so it is impossible for him to know a little Bai Zong.

In the past, although Li Fang was the chief executive, he was just the captain of a 100-gun boat. There were at least [-] officers in the Dongjiang Army at this level.

At this time, Meng Xianhan was also stunned. There were nineteen pirates in his pirate ship, but one person chopped down seventeen of them with a knife, and two jumped into the sea in fright.

However, Li Fang's bravery also successfully aroused the viciousness of the pirates. These pirates rushed to the Ning Navy warship regardless of the cost. When they reached the range, they heard the muffled sound of "dong dong dong".

This is Sun Yuanhua's targeted improvement to the Dengzhou navy. Two bowl-mouth guns are added to each gunboat. In fact, we can understand the bowl-mouth guns as flying thunder guns.

The working principle and shape of this kind of firecracker are very similar to that of a flying thunder cannon. The length of this kind of bowl-mouthed gun is 330 mm, the caliber is also 330 mm, and it weighs about 48 catties.

A soldier can carry him away. Of course, if he marches for a long distance, he won't last long. But the problem is that this kind of artillery fires shotguns. A firecracker can create a fan-shaped coverage of hundreds of meters. When it is condescending, It works surprisingly well.

The pirates who had originally thought about melee combat and defeated the official army felt like they had encountered a super hailstorm, and countless projectiles shot down their heads and faces.

Then, in fact, there is no more.

Once this kind of melee weapon is fired, there are few survivors on a pirate ship, and armor is of little use.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy were overjoyed. They were like farmers in the harvest period, waving sickles and harvesting crops.

Of course, there is a difference. Farmers harvest only crops, while they harvest human heads.

Having lost more than a dozen ships and hundreds of pirates, Meng Xianhan started to get scared. He thought of running away, but is there any chance if he wants to run away now?

The answer is yes. In the eyes of Ning Haijun, Meng Xianhan is the fat in their mouths. If he is allowed to escape, they will feel sorry for the food Cheng Shijie gave them.

"Who else?"

Li Fang had already been turned into a flesh and blood, brandishing the Qi family knife full of gaps, he yelled at the bloody pirates on board.
