527 Rider Assault
The atrocities made the kind people awake, and the cowardly fishermen knew that they would die today. They rushed up one by one and fought with the robbers, but how could they be the opponents of the trained murderers?
The gunshots were loud and the bayonets were sharp. A fisherman died tragically in the sea. A sea girl was caught and tied up her hands and feet, lifted up like a pig, and the entire sea was filled with the screams of the victims and the excited cheers of the beasts.
The person who is not my race will have different hearts. This old saying is true at all. Those French people don’t even look at Asians as humans. In their eyes, barbarians are all beasts that can be sold.
Black slaves in Africa are not humans, nor are they humans in mainland India. Now that they have come to Asia, these yellow-skinned monkeys are not humans. Killing barbarians is like killing a beast. Is it still a psychological burden to kill pigs and sheep?
The robbers on the deck were playing bets, and the bet was that the bare sea girl and the heavy work of moving. Poker cards were flying all over the sky. The winner took off his pants and rushed to the sea girl. The loser went to carry seafood dejectedly, and cheered the beasts while working.
At that moment, even the sky could not see the atrocities anymore. The dark clouds covered the sun and even faint lightning flashed in the clouds.
Bohai Bay has been a busy sea route since ancient times. Except for the lower freight volume in winter, merchant ships here are still very common at other times. The atrocities of the two warships really made the wrong place. At this time, a merchant ship was sailing from the east. At the beginning, it was just a black spot, and it could be distinguished by the naked eye in a short while.
"Look, there are cargo ships in the east, which are extremely fast... It's a large flying scissor... When the transaction comes, we are going to make another fortune..."
The ship in the distance was very fast, the slender hull pierced the waves, and the huge sails rushed towards the pirates.
Just as the French warship was about to turn, it suddenly mutated and rallied.
Boom... A dull sound of cannons sounded from the head of the flying scissors, and a firing shell exploded just above the Lyra. A huge side sail was blown up with holes, and flames rushed upwards.
The explosion shock wave was mixed with countless fragments, flying on the deck. More than a dozen sailors were shot and fell into a pool of blood. The Lyra zodiac was suddenly in chaos.
"What kind of a sailboat is this? How can the fly-scissors be equipped with such advanced naval guns?" Captain Kraft ran out of the captain's room screaming, and his eyes turned red when he saw the miserable condition on the deck.
In 1866, artillery technology was in a transitional period, and solid artillery shells did not withdraw from the stage of history. The flowering shells are still a special weapon for the army. With the addition of the rear-mounted rifled cannon, it is not affordable for ordinary people. The armies of various countries have not been fully popularized, so how could they be sold to the people?
Therefore, the artillery used for self-defense on the merchant ships on the sea are all old smoothbore guns, which is enough to deal with those pirates who are behind the primitive. Anyway, it will be scared away.
Unexpectedly, today the eagle made the little family bird peck at the eye. It was obviously the most common flying scissor ship in the Pacific Ocean, but the bow cannon was a top military product.
"The left rudder is full... open the gun door on the starboard side to prepare for battle..." Captain Kraft began to order a counterattack, but it was not that easy for the heavy sailboat to adjust its posture, and the speed of the well-equipped flying scissor was too fast.
The Clippers were the last speed star to appear in the era of sailing ships. The average model had reached 12 knots. This kind of sailing ship had used aerodynamics to the extreme, and since then, no sailing ship that surpassed him appeared.
Of course, humans stopped developing sailboats, and it was because of the large application of steam-powered ships that made fly-scissors a masterpiece in the history of sailing.
The arrogant flying scissors almost crashed straight into the air. He knew that he had hit the rudder a little at the last moment. The flying scissors rushed over almost closely to the Lyra, and at that time, the Lyrassors didn't even have time to open the cannon gate.
Papa... When the two ships intersect, countless sailors suddenly stood on the deck of the flying scissors. Everyone was hit by a Spencer and the white smoke was everywhere on the sea, and the deck of the Lyra was in chaos.
Screams, gunshots, and wood chips were flying everywhere... It was not until this time that people discovered that the super-large clippers were actually Chinese.
"Shoot and kill these thugs... You have to pay the price of blood if you dare to commit violence at the gates of our China... The Chengfeng attacks and attracts the enemy's firepower..."
The Chengfeng is Xiao Letian's Chengfeng, three fly-scissors I bought from the United States, and the cornerstone of Xiao Letian's wealth career.
Three flying scissors, the Wealth was converted into mobile silver coins, while the Chengfeng and the Breaking Waves carried out silver trade across the Pacific Ocean. Xiao Letian knew that it was far from enough to converge the scattered silver from the Qing Dynasty. If you want to make a fortune, you have to trade silver ore.
Why do we try our best to establish good relations with the United States? We hope that the United States can protect it from trading silver with Mexico. After all, Mexico is now the world's largest silver producer.
Ships of silver ingots and ore were transported from North America to China, and ships of Chinese shortage goods were sold to the North and South American continents. The two flying scissors created countless wealth for Xiao Letian.
Not only that, the scissors also bear the burden of training sailors. The Chinese nation has been away from the sea for a long time. There is no truly qualified group of ocean sailors who search the coastal areas of China. The fishermen on the coast can only sail in offshore areas and have no ability to travel around the world.
Everyone can use the compass, but who can see the latest charts, astronomy, quadrant, sextant, and complex seas, who will give you the current charts secretly drawn by Westerners for free? When you arrive in the new sea, who knows where there are undercurrents, where there are reefs, and where there are no wind belts.
If the Chinese nation wants to establish its own navy, it must solve the problem of talent gap. It does not mean that a few armored battleships can dominate one side. In the end, the weapons and equipment will be operated by people.
The silver trade route across the Pacific Ocean is the training ground for Xiao Letian to train ocean sailors. The flying scissors can be operated with sixty or seventy people, so Xiao Letian has been modified to more than 200 people.
Today, the Chengfeng, who returned from North America, had more than 230 sailors on it. These are the backbone of the future navy's technical strength, and this is a group of precious talents.
Niu Duofu, the uncle and brother of the famous Sihai Businessman of Tanggu Industrial Special Zone, Boss Niu Jinfu, has introduced himself, the brother who has run through the sea businessman. After several reviews, he finally became the captain of the Chengfeng.
Niu Duofu is not a rough name, because the country people have the habit of giving a good name. In fact, Niu Duofu is really a talented person. Not only can he play with the sea merchants, but he is also a good player when he is a captain. His burly body is typical of the straightforward character of a northern man. How could such people turn a blind eye to the atrocities of bandits?
"The brothers of the Chengfeng, facing us are two foreign pirate ships, bullying the fishermen of North Korea. They have already started killing people... Look, they are ** women..."
With Niu Duofu's fingers, people witnessed it with their own eyes that a naked sea girl was hung in the air and dragged onto the boat by a rope. With a slight resistance, a row of bullets were hit by, and the body was hanging in the air, blood dripping down.
"Maybe you think they are all Koreans, not our fellow villagers. It's better to have less trouble than to have more trouble... But don't forget how the Prime Minister taught you."
"Asia is an Asian Asian. For thousands of years, this world has believed in the culture of our Central Plains. Do we want to cut ourselves off from our friendly countries today, make them completely disappointed with us, and then turn to join the robbers?"
"You agree, I don't agree, I believe the Prime Minister will not agree... Seeing the injustice on the road, I will draw my sword to help you. Don't throw away the things that my ancestors teach us."
Those who can voluntarily join the ocean caravan and receive harsh sea training are all tough guys. They are all the backbone of Xiao Letian's future navy, and they cannot stand the stimulation of the captain.
"Don't do it... These foreigners dare to commit violence at the gate of China. This is to slap us Chinese in the face in public, and rush up to fight them..."
The Chengfeng quickly prepared for combat, the first gun began to be debugged, and the new flowering bullet was loaded, and a spy holding a Spencer was squatting on the deck, and the bullets had been pressed long ago.
"Speed, the life of the flying scissor is speed... Move forward with all the sails, run away if you hit..." Niu Duofu looked reckless, but he was not reckless, so he still had this cleverness.
The sails were sailing forward, and the turbulent sea breeze pushed him forward quickly. The experienced gunner did not aim at the enemy's hull, but aimed at the sail that was more prone to bounce, and fired as soon as it entered the range.
With a bang, the side sail of the Chengfeng was blown up and the gunner quickly loaded it. Such a fast ship speed gave him only two guns, and he had to hurry up.
"Brothers, keep calm... open your mouth and block your ears..." With a roar, the flintlock device pulled the flintlock device and wiped out a series of sparks.
With a loud bang, the gunpowder was quite a lot, and the sound was still heard of it for five miles. The flowering artillery shells shot towards the main sail of the Rome. There was only a loud noise in the air, and the main sail of the Rome was blown open with a huge hole more than two meters wide.
"Good job... Brothers, prepare for musket..." After two guns, the Chengfeng had already rushed to the flank of the Lyra. Niu Duofu shouted "Fire..."
Two hundred gunmen stood up together, Rulin's gun rod scared the French army opposite him and said, "This is not a merchant ship... This is the Chinese navy..."
At that moment, Niu Duofu also understood it. He shouted, "Fuck, these are not pirates. These bastards must be dressed in French troops... they are the troops attacking Ryukyu."
The two ships intersected, guns and fires were connected together, rapid-fire Spencer showed his power at close range, and the French army screamed in terror.
