Chapter 291 The Ups and Downs of the World
The dead passed away like this, and the years passed quickly. Three years passed quickly, and at this moment, the waters of the East China Sea.
The wind blew from the southwest, and a large Haicang ship raised its sails and moved forward slowly in the dim morning light. The ship was a three-masted sailboat, with a huge flag flying on a dark red background.
The dragon is fully equipped, and there are people in navy uniforms walking around on the deck, surveying the sea surface from time to time. It is obvious that this is an official ship.
Suddenly, there was a blast of horns from this beautiful Haicang official ship, and at the same time someone shouted loudly: "The target appears, rear and right, turn around, get ready!"
Immediately afterwards, this large Haicang ship with 4 big guns, 3 bowl-mouth blunderbuss, 6 bird-bill blunderbuss, 50 spray canisters, and 80 smoke cans burst out with huge power, facing the distant seal.
The brig with the red flag launched a fierce attack, the sound of bang bang bang boom sounded in the calm sea, and various rockets of thousands of enemies were rushing through the air. The brig was extremely hard, and under such a fierce offensive
, although the ship's mast has been broken and the sail has fallen into the water and disappeared with a snap, it still did not disintegrate into pieces, but rushed towards this direction along the wind and sea currents.
What's very strange is that no one on the ship seems to have fought back, let alone stretched out its cannons to deal with the official ship, but just rushed straight towards it without any hesitation. A thick and long cable hung from the side very close to the front.
In the water, Navy Commander Qian on the official ship saw that victory was just around the corner. He gave orders vigorously, raised all sails and accelerated forward. When the ship was about to approach the official ship, the official ship attacked with artillery fire, while soldiers threw out with their arms.
The long hook locks and fierce expressions on people's faces are intended to engage in a happy boarding battle with the enemy ship.
The wind and water went smoothly, and the ship came very quickly. Due to the collision between the hulls, the official ship fell into turbulence. The soldiers stabilized their bodies and prepared to enter the enemy ship to capture and kill, but suddenly, the world fell into fierce turmoil.
There was a loud bang and a harsh explosion.
Huge sparks erupted from the water, burning brightly and lighting up the darkening sky.
Qing'an Dusi Yamen.
"General, no, it's not good!"
"What's all the fuss about?" The forty-year-old middle-aged man looked up from the file and asked impatiently as he looked at the navy officer who ran in carelessly.
"The Haicang ship led by General Qian Zhang Shun sent to capture Ni Yu was... bombed and sunk!" The soldier who sent the message lowered his head and whispered.
"What did you say?" He Bi slapped the case and stood up. He walked down from the case in disbelief, grabbed the collar of the kneeling soldier, and said angrily: "How could the Haicang ship be sunk?
What happened? Tell me quickly!"
"According to the soldiers who survived, they originally discovered Ni Yu's ship. During the patrol in the early morning, a ketch with the flag of Ni Yu's ship appeared in the lookout mirror. Zhang Qian
The commander-in-chief immediately ordered an attack on the ship. Later, when preparing for a boarding battle, the hulls of the ships collided, but a loud noise erupted for a moment. The few surviving soldiers agreed that the empty brig was equipped with mines.
, as long as the two ships collide, it will cause vibrations and cause a violent explosion."
"Idiot!" He Biduan was furious, "Such a trivial skill caused a ship to be sunk in Haicang. Zhang Shun's brain is filled with water!"
"My lord, please calm down," counselor Chen Ai said in a deep voice. "It was dark at that time. It is understandable that Lord Zhang did not find out the clues in time. Moreover, the ketch is valuable, and very few people will use it as bait.
Therefore, it is unavoidable to be unprepared for worldly events. In addition, most of the previous mines were anchor mines or timed floating mines. This type of collision-type powerful mines has never been heard of or seen before. Therefore, I hope you can calm down and calm down."
"Calm down?" He Bidian dropped the soldier whose collar was clamped, and sneered with his hands behind his hands, "You said it lightly. Do you know how many utensils are needed to build a Haicang ship with the current national strength? Do you know that it failed like this?
How much will this ridiculous battle boost the arrogance of those pirates, and how much of a blow will it have to the already sluggish morale of our army? How many willful, stupid and ignorant generals like Zhang Shun are there in the court? It’s heartbreaking!
"
When it comes to the latter part, why bother showing a look of concern on his face and sighing: "The coastal defenses are declining day by day, and the Celestial Eye is blocked. How many talented people are either condemned to death or forced to resign. I am very worried..."
"Your Majesty said that, so did Admiral Xin have such thoughts at that time, so he resigned from office and left?" Chen Ai asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know, maybe." He Biduan said tiredly.
"Although Admiral Xin is a woman, she is extremely talented and beautiful. Men rarely have the same skills and tactics. After a quick encounter, I felt that she has a broad mind and is not a cruel person. But why did she abandon the safety of the imperial court and ignore it in this dire straits?
?”
Chen Ai sighed as he spoke, with a hint of disappointment and confusion in his tone.
"Who knows? Alas..." He Biduan seemed much older for a moment, turned around, picked up the pen again, and buried his head in the thick files on the desk.
The Dusi Yamen in Qing'an is gloomy and gloomy, but on the boat in the distant Beiwan, it is a leisurely and happy scene.
The woman in light blue clothes was lying on a homemade lounge chair. Her long and curly eyelashes were hanging down, and her chest was rising and falling. She looked like she was asleep. The sunlight hit her white face, making her breakable.
My skin looks thinner and thinner.
The woman was sleeping soundly in the gentle breeze and warm sunshine. Suddenly, an object as big as a fist climbed up on her shoulder. The object had light gray fur and a pure white belly. It looked like a squirrel and was similar to a mole.
, in fact, it is a very rare purebred witch rat. It is a special species of squirrels that have become extinct today. It is said to be very spiritual. The witch rat in front of you is small in size, very clean on the body, with a fat face and eyes.
It was very big and extremely black and shiny. The little witch mouse stood on tiptoes and stretched out its thin claws to grab the woman's jade-white ears. A hint of mischievous pride flashed in the little witch mouse's black and bright eyes, and it made a sound from its mouth.
He chuckled softly, and looked like he was about to pinch his ears hard between his paws.
As expected, a scream echoed across the calm sea.
However, things seemed to have gone a little bit wrong.
The woman lying on the bed didn't even open her eyes. With a backhand, it was like an electric turn. With a snap, she slapped the malicious little witch rat to the ground. It was obvious that the chirping scream came from the mouth of this little witch rat.
