The ships of the Sihai Fleet were discovered more than 20 nautical miles away from Quanzhou Port.
In this place in Fujian, there must have been a lot of sentries and watchtowers arranged along the coast. When Qian Wubing appeared in everyone's sight with six giant ships, what he faced was a dark and dense formation waiting for him.
large and small warships.
When the men and horses on both sides gradually approached, the flags on the ship were distinguishable. The Fujian Navy was certainly relieved, and the fleets from all over the world were relieved. At a glance, they almost looked at each other.
The port was gone, and only ships of all sizes were visible. Although the armored ships were huge, the number of them really frightened the fleet. It was like a few tigers facing hundreds of
Feeling like a hungry wolf.
"Master Qian, you are serious!"
The top official of the Fujian Navy in Quanzhou was a staff general. When he heard that Qian Wubing had brought these ships to Quanzhou to assist the navy in defense, he looked so frightened that I really didn't know what to say.
"Does General Xu Shen say this because he looks down on my subordinates?" Qian Wubing chuckled. It had been a while since he got off the boat. It is estimated that by this time, the news of his arrival would have been immediately reported to Fuzhou.
The chief envoy and the commander-in-chief were all stationed in Fuzhou. Suddenly, an acting commander of the Jinyiwei came to Quanzhou. The general couldn't help but be frightened, especially because he was such a knowledgable man. No matter what Qian Wubing's intention was, he had better be careful.
Good!
"I don't dare. Master Qian's subordinates must all be like wolves and tigers. However, this is the responsibility of the navy. Master Qian's help has made the general panic!"
"At present, there is a powerful enemy, so what kind of navy and what kind of guards are there?" Qian Wubing shook his head and gave him a reassurance: "I said that those who came to assist in defense were those who came to assist in defense. These ships of mine were initially ordered according to the
It was built according to the navy's regulations, and some changes were added later. Although it looks a bit bloated, it still has some combat power!"
"It's not a little bloated!" The admiral laughed, "The largest one is almost twice as big as our Commander-in-Chief's boat, which must cost at least 1,500 yuan! We are here
Quanzhou really lacks these big ships!"
"That's it, I'm not here to fight for power with you. Normally, you don't have to pay attention to my people and my ships. But if those Western barbarians really come, you can just call them around. If there is any violation of the law,
Yes, even the imperial court's laws and Jin Yiwei's family rules can't spare them!" Qian Wubing said, looking serious.
"Even if I disobey your military orders during the war, you can do whatever you want to do with me. Don't think of me as a member of the Imperial Guard, just think of me as a soldier under your command!"
"Sir Qian, are you kidding me?" The general's heart moved. He had already said everything he had to say. If he doubted the other party's purpose of coming, he would be a bit unintelligent. "This fight with Xiyi is for us soldiers below."
As for the general, Mr. Qian, you are in charge in the city. Our soldiers have you as the backbone. This is better than anything else. How dare a certain general use you as a soldier!"
"Then let's not talk about this for now. Go and form a formation with the ship I brought with you. By the way, you can learn about the combat power of my ship so that it can be easier for you to command!" Qian Wubing nodded and did not force it.
Although he had this idea, the other party would definitely not agree to it. To put it bluntly, if Qian Wubing was damaged in any way, even if the general wiped out the invading Spanish fleet, he would not get anything good.
, depending on the degree of Qian Wubing's injury, he will either be dismissed or beheaded. Qian Wubing is easy to talk to, but Qian Wubing represents a hundred thousand Jin Yiwei. Such face is not something that a small general can use casually.
of.
As for letting the opponent organize the ships, this is what it should be. When fighting in this large army, everything must be coordinated, and the odd and the right complement each other. Only in this way can the combat power be brought into full play, especially the special characteristics of the navy.
This requirement is even more stringent. Just think about how a single ship of the Sihai Fleet was almost eaten by four ships of the Qin brothers and the Fuso people. This is not a matter of the size of the ship. If
It's true, the navy doesn't have to do so much trouble when fighting a war. Let's all sail out the boats and see who has the most big boats, then whoever wins will be considered the winner.
For the general surnamed Xu, the arrival of Qian Wubing was an unexpected surprise. In order to preserve their strength, the navy's large ships, Fuchuan, were scattered to various water villages. There were many navy ships in Quanzhou.
However, they were unable to fight against the large ships of the Western Yi. Qian Wubing's six warships were much larger than the navy's original warships. This was simply a timely help.
When he got on the ship and saw the force on the ship, he was even more worried and calmed down. Jin Yiwei was so damn rich that he couldn't even be jealous. Working in the Navy
In his whole life, he had never seen someone who mishandled silver and threw it on the ship without blinking an eye! And with the sailors on the ship, there were nearly two thousand soldiers in brocade uniforms, which made him speechless. He had already heard that
It is said that Jinyiwei has an overseas Thousand Households Institute, which is quite troublesome. Comparing the Jinyiwei Thousand Households Institute in Fujian with the Overseas Thousand Households Institute, it is like a child without parents. This is the property of the entire Overseas Thousand Households Institute.
Let’s all come to Quanzhou!
The appearance of Qian Wubing also caused quite a shock to the Quanzhou Prefecture. For the panicked people, the fact that the high-ranking officials of the Jinyiwei came to Quanzhou with these large ships meant that the imperial court valued them very much. There were so many officers and soldiers there again.
Here, even if the rumors were once popular, they have stopped a lot now. This is the rhythm of the imperial court that wants to stick to Quanzhou! Then what else can everyone do?
Of course, another reason why they dare not chew grains is that overnight in Quanzhou, the streets seemed to be full of Jinyiwei. People in Quanzhou have heard a lot about the legendary thing Jinyiwei, but those who have seen it with their own eyes are not
There are many, so many years of notoriety there, and even those who want to spread rumors to satisfy their mouths have to think carefully about being found out by Jin Yiwei. I am afraid that this will definitely not be a pleasant thing.
The Quanzhou Prefecture took the initiative to bear the food and wages for the Jinyiwei warship that came to the rescue. It is said that the squires from Quanzhou took the initiative to donate. When the Quanzhou Prefect told Qian Wubing about this, Qian Wubing looked a little indifferent. This was Qian Wubing.
Wu Bing didn't take the money seriously at all. Even if the Quanzhou government didn't give it to him, he wouldn't forcefully ask for it. Since the other party was so understanding, he had no choice but to accept it with a smile.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction...
