Li Guolou led the fleet to sail to the waters of Magong Port in northern Taiwan under the cover of night. As he expected, there was no Japanese naval fleet in the waters of Magong Port. But one thing he did not expect was that he encountered a pirate fleet taking advantage of the situation.
The sea was calm, the morning breeze was blowing, and the blue sea and sky were visible. A few small dots could be vaguely seen on the horizon 10,000 meters away. The cruiser "Mighty" continued to move forward. Li Guolou finally saw clearly the black flag hanging on the ship. There is a scary skull painted on the "color" flag, which is the pirate flag that makes people talk about it.
Li Guolou suddenly changed his color and shouted angrily: "Order Liu Buchan to lead ten mosquito ships to advance at full speed and kill even one pirate ship for me."
The herald immediately sent a message and issued a military order. The Mighty raised the battle flag, and the sharp whistle sounded through the sky. The harsh sound made people's eardrums buzz.
Liu Buchan led ten mosquito boats to form a flying swallow formation and race across the sea in a battle formation. The five-foot ramming horn of the mosquito boat's bow jutted out of the boat like a mythical unicorn.
The Feiyan team rushed towards the pirate fleet with great momentum, preparing to annihilate the pirate fleet. Liu Buchan was ecstatic. It was better to come early than to come by chance. The sky had eyes and there was no strong wind. The pirate ship wanted to escape by wind and waves, but it couldn't take advantage of the favorable wind. This time, he wanted to help the people of Taiwan. Revenge and eliminate all pirates. In Liu Buchan's eyes, more than a dozen pirate ships are just fish on the board for him to slaughter. Li Guolou is watching from behind, giving him a chance to make meritorious deeds. Liu Buchan knows very well that his career will be brilliant.
The pirate fleet has fifteen clippers. This old-fashioned clipper ship can carry 3,050 people. It is equipped with a French cannon that can fire both solid and slug weapons. It is very powerful. It is rampant in the Nanyang waters. It specializes in robbing passing fleets. The pirate fleet is hidden in Xiaolu, Nanyang. Bandara Island in the Song Dynasty rarely concentrates on such a large scale.
Pirates actually have the same character as the thieves in Weishan Lake. If there is no business, they just cast a net to catch fish. If there is a big business, they will make a fortune. Normally, they are no different from fishermen, but they look a little more sinister.
This time, Su Saiya, the pirate leader of Bandara Island, listened to the Japanese's bewitchment. The Japanese also gave him a batch of weapons, medicine and even a map of Taiwan waters. Su Saiya was so excited after seeing the money that he got a treasure map. Then he led more than 600 people from Luzon to Taiwan to make a fortune [
Su Saiya led fifteen clippers heading north along the island of Taiwan. When he had the opportunity, he sent ships to land and rob the Taiwanese fishermen's property. He also imitated the Western colonists by capturing slaves, burning, killing, and looting. The Japanese troops landed for more than two months, and the little Luzon people took advantage of the situation and looted everything. The slaves captured more than a thousand people. This was the second time that Su Saiya led a fleet to Taiwan. The pirates had already made a fortune, loaded up a batch of loot, and returned to Bandara Island. They dispatched five clippers at once. There are already fifteen clippers in Sussaya. The pirates of the small Luzon Kingdom are greedy. This time, bad luck comes one after another. They encounter the Great Qing Navy in the waters of Magong Port.
The Japanese army invaded Taiwan with the image of an army of justice. They used the "Ryukyu Drifters Incident" as an excuse to seek revenge on the Paiwan people. They were supported internationally by Americans. Secretly, Japan's Minister of Internal Affairs, Toshimichi Okubo, connived at the Nanyang pirates to harm the people of Taiwan. This way Japan Even in the international arena, people can openly show that the incidents that harmed the people of Taiwan are basically related to the "Japanese Pioneer Mission"
The Japanese were very smart and spent a little money to let Nanyang pirates come to Taiwan to make a fortune.
However, the pirate ship did not have a transmitter or a steam engine on board. Su Saiya did not receive the news of the Diaoyu Islands naval battle. His pirate fleet did not dare to approach Taiwan's largest port for fear of being hit by the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, so they came to the waters of Magong Port to show off their power. looting
The pirates are dispatching small boats one by one to the shore to make a fortune. Fifteen large ships are docked in deep water areas. The ships have not yet weighed anchor.
The pirates were very diligent and had to wash the deck early every morning. More than a dozen pirates knelt on the ground to clean the deck. A shirtless little man was as flexible as a monkey and used his hands and feet to climb up the main sail and look around at the vast sea. The rising red sun's bronze face turned blue in vain. The southern sea surface appeared. I saw the rising smoke of the Great Qingshui Master, like monsters hiding in the clouds.
With a "swish", the little boss slipped off the mainsail and rushed into the captain's room shouting: "Brother, something bad is going to happen! The great clear water division is here."
"Ah, why did the Great Qing Navy appear here?" Su Saiya didn't understand that Magong Port was not a strategic location. He couldn't help but couldn't believe it. Su Saiya ran to the deck and saw the huge Great Clear Navy. The high flying yellow dragon flag was the only one in the Qing Dynasty. only have
Su Saiya panicked and pulled the warning bell and shouted: "Everyone return to their posts before the enemy attacks."
The emergency ringtone of "Dang Dang Dang Dang" sounded a group of "chaos" on the fifteen pirate ships. The ants ran away without knowing where to go
The people on the pirate ship panicked and pulled up the anchor. They set sail and wanted to escape from the sea as soon as possible. The pirates blew the horn to notify their comrades who were still looting on the shore. They thought they had guns and cannons and wanted to compete with the Daqing navy. A door-furlong machine came out. The guns in the cabin were pointed at the Daiqing Navy Fleet, and they wanted to use force to resist
The pirates on the shore heard the horn sound and rowed their oars desperately to escape back to the ship. If they stayed on the island, they would be eaten alive by Taiwan's ethnic minorities. It would be very sad.
The pirates of Little Luzon are all as short as monkeys, and they are agile and can paddle quickly. They shout in unison and want to escape from danger.
Feng Zicai used a telescope to carefully observe the appearance of more than a dozen pirate ships at sea and said with certainty: "Commander Li, I can see clearly that those pirates are pirates from the Little Luzon Kingdom. They are not Japanese pirates. They must be caused by the Japanese army to cause harm to Taiwan's fishermen. Look at them." The clipper is approaching the big ship. This time I want to teach the pirates a lesson. Let me fire a few shots too."
Li Guolou squinted and said: "Feng Guandai, didn't you say that there are not many cannons, so we should use them sparingly or let the mosquito boats use more force?" [
Feng Zicai said seriously: "It doesn't matter, Commander-in-Chief Li, there is still a ballast bilge on the Wuwei for training. One shot of the wooden ship will create a hole, and the effect will be very good."
"Isn't that reasonable? Feng Zicai, who asked you to pretend that training is a war or not an exercise? Can't you even tell the difference?" Li Guolou was so angry that he was so angry that the cruiser was loaded with training. It was a child's play to treat war. The main fleet of the Japanese Navy was composed of iron-clad ships. Only Feng Zicai could think of using training to fight an armored ship.
It was the first time that Feng Zicai was called by his first name by Li Guolou. He had many excuses, but in front of Li Guolou, he didn't dare to use any of them. He kept his head low and arrogant and kept mumbling.
Large ships carry out loading training in the bilge. One reason is to ballast the bilge to keep the ship stable. Another reason is that naval officers and soldiers are lazy in training, which is always useful. It can be used to build wooden ships. It is too troublesome to move on and off the ship due to the number of guns. If it's not close enough, it's armor-piercing, and if it's not blooming enough, it's clear and some are solid.
"It's ridiculous, Feng Zicai. Listen to me. Next time you go to sea and you dare to carry people for training, I will remove you from your post, take off your yellow jacket and go back to your hometown." Li Guolou scolded Feng Zicai fiercely. His ferocious face seemed to want to eat people and not give Feng Zicai face. Everyone has their own responsibilities. Li Guolou's responsibility is to supervise every subordinate and never indulge any of them. Feng Zicai doesn't want to show his seniority in front of him. Anyone who dares to disobey will resign on the spot.
"I dare you to fight against me." Feng Zicai's eyes widened and he almost wanted to curse, but his subordinates grabbed his sleeve and swallowed the rest of the words alive. He quickly changed his words: "It's Commander Li. Now, let me spend some training to reduce the burden." Well"
Li Guolou pretended not to understand the curse words, pretending to be confused and nodded: "Well, if Guan Feng knows his mistakes and can improve them, it's up to you to fight the pirates."
Li Guolou left the command room and let Feng Zicai scold him behind his back without hurting his skin. The Qing Dynasty Navy has too many bad habits and needs to be changed. Tomorrow it will be a triumphant division. He will be a villain. The war does not talk about human feelings. It only talks about victory and defeat.
"How dare his sissy without a beard dare to scold me. He doesn't even know that Lord Ma has three eyes. I'll crush him to death with one hand. If you don't understand, just shut your mouth. You're trained to fight pirates and use resources rationally." Well, the shitty beetles and dead eunuchs from the capital can only praise the stinky feet of powerful people, Li Hongzhang, I despise you, bah." Feng Zicai spoke nonsense in front of all the generals, as if he was the supreme commander, and did not take Li Guolou, who was as airless, in his eyes. Feng Zicai thought that there was a war. We also have to calculate the economic accounts. Training is a simple thing to save military expenses. If Li Guolou doesn’t understand it, no wonder he turns his face and scolds his mother.
Li Guolou was not in the command room, allowing Feng Zicai to make his temper known to all the officers. They were all familiar with Feng Zicai's bad temper.
However, Feng Zicai did not forget that after scolding Li Guolou during the battle, he turned around and shouted angrily: "What are you all doing? Come all to me to move the training tools and smash the pirates to death. I don't want to see a skull and crossbones flag. Li Guolou knows how to hand over the command to me, right?" "He hum"
The officers in the command room are all high-ranking officers, but they also have to carry cannons on the ship. They walk down the hanging ladder without complaint. The navy officers and soldiers carry it together and train to fight pirates. My daughter-in-law lives a prudent life.
The sea is vast. Fifteen pirate ships set up their sails and fled to the end of the world. The sea is so big that it is their world. In the past, pirate ships were the fastest sailing ships in the world. For more than two hundred years, pirates became the masters of the sea. Now they have become steam engines. The era relies on the power of steam. Power enters the ship and moves forward. No matter how fast a clipper is, it can't go anywhere without strong winds.
Fifteen clippers fled to the northeast. Without the advantage of the wind direction, the clippers were moving slowly. The enemy and our fleets were separated from 10,000 meters apart by each other, and now they were only 2,000 meters apart. This distance was too small for the artillery on the mosquito ships. It is said that the probability of hitting the enemy ship is 40%, so none of the mosquito ships fires cannons and still clings to the pirate ship. Everyone wants to get a good start. The captain of the mosquito ship saves his life. The mosquito ship has a small space and no need to train ballast. They don't want to squander it. gun
The four navy armored ships and pirate ships following behind were more than 3,000 meters away. Feng Zicai did not let the mosquito ship monopolize the battle power and issued the order to fire first.
Boom boom boom boom
The huge cannons on the Mighty made a deafening roar, and the cannons roared past and poured down on the pirate ship.
A cannon made a "bang" sound and splashed a huge wave three feet high. It failed to hit the target, but frightened the pirates on the clipper so that they all fell down on the deck.
boom
A cannon slammed into the deck of the pirate ship with a huge impact. The deck was torn into pieces and splintered wood flew across the cannon. It penetrated directly through the deck and penetrated into the cabin.
boom
A shell hit the cabin and the huge head got stuck on the cabin but didn't explode.
boom
A shell hit the clipper's head and it rolled around on the deck. The ship tilted and its head rolled quickly with the momentum, and it rolled towards a pirate.
"Ah!" The pirate screamed as his huge head was pressed down by the cannon, and then his voice fell silent.
The second wave of cannons poured down was more accurate than the previous one, but its lethality was no more. The clipper ship had no explosions, and the huge impact of the cannon was insufficient to tear the clipper ship into pieces. The clipper ship fled tenaciously while swinging left and right.
"Eh!" Something strange happened. The cannon didn't explode. The pirates were greatly surprised. One pirate shouted happily: "The Great Qing Navy is a pauper. The cannons are all dumb cannons. We don't need to be afraid."
Su Saiya shouted: "Fire back with artillery and fight tooth for tooth. Rushing out means victory. The wind is about to change."
The three pirates worked together, loaded the cannon, closed the valve, lit the fuse, and made a loud boom. A solid ball flew into the blue sky.
boom
The solid ball launched by the pirates fell into the sea and splashed a wave of waves that almost hit the Haidongqing.
Deng Shichang, the captain of the mosquito ship Haidongqing, could not bear it. He took aim and fired the gun in person. A beautiful arc passed across the sky. That was the power of the Great Qing Navy to dominate Greater East Asia.
boom
Smoke was everywhere on the clipper ship. Flames exploded on the clipper ship. The white sails were burning and the fire was rushing from the bottom up. Soon, the terrifying skull and crossbones flag was also burning in the fire.
