Chapter 223: It's the first battle
Shade the ocean.
Uncle Mi handed the telescope to the owner, and Zhao Hao saw that it was a burning ship.
Under the light of the fire, you can faintly see a three-masted sailing ship on the side, with shadows on it, constantly flying out of orange dots.
"That's a rocket?" Zhao Gongzi asked.
"Yes." Uncle Mi nodded, and asked in a deep voice: "Childe, should we stop and wait until the battle is over before stepping forward?" ”
"What do you think?" Zhao Hao asked rhetorically.
"Hey, hey." Uncle Mi touched his gray beard, and said with his true colors: "The two ships are not big, and the one that caught fire was a two-masted sand ship, with at most a dozen people on it." The three-masted ship was a fortune ship, with a maximum of thirty or forty people. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Hao pressed his straw hat. "Shall we join in the fun?"
"Hmm." Uncle Mi nodded and said, "There are many of us and we are big boats, and we can scare them to death." It's also good to let the sons and daughters have a long insight. ”
"Then let's get on!" Zhao Gongzi, who went to the sea, changed his steady style of putting safety first on the shore, and became brave and ruthless.
Therefore, when it comes to role-playing, sometimes it is too deep into the play. I don't know if Zhao Gongzi will become a rubber man with retractable limbs in the future, and cultivate the domineering spirit of the overlord.
As soon as Captain Mi received the order, he ordered the helmsman to signal with the ship's lamp.
The sailors of the two five-masted sand boats saw the red lanterns hanging from the flagship, and quickly sounded the siren gong.
The security guards of Jiangnan Company in the cabin immediately picked up their weapons when they heard the alarm, and rushed to the deck to take their positions under the leadership of their respective team leaders.
Strict training is not the goal, and strict military discipline is not for the sake of looking good. It's all for the sake of the soldiers in the event of an emergency...... Oh no, the security guards keep their composure and don't mess up.
Torches were lit and the deck was as bright as day.
A wooden box was lifted out, and when it was opened, it was full of new clusters of bird's beaks. All of them were smuggled from Guangdong by Tang Ji Nan's store.
It's not that Zhao Hao, the supervisor of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau, has no ability to get guns from official channels. It is a musket privately made by Guangdong craftsmen, and the quality is far better than that of the guns made by the Ordnance Bureau. Not to mention the local guards who made their own bombs.
Of course, it is Leng Gui, and the price of one made in Guangdong is the highest in two official buildings.
But is Zhao Gongzi a person who cares about money? Immediately, he ordered 500 sticks as a gift for his disciples.
Now take it out, and try the gun first.
~~
Whether it is the Kunshan gunner battalion or the security brigade, the training time is too short, and they have to shoulder heavy patrol tasks.
Even if the veterans of the Qi family army come to train, two or three months can only help them get rid of their casual habits and let them ban them.
As for military literacy, it is not enough to lift shoes for the real Qi family's army.
The recruits jumped for a while, and finally completed the reload, but they couldn't get a chance to shoot a shot.
Their task was only to help the Qi family army veterans in the front row load their bullets.
Compared to the panicked recruits, the veterans are much calmer.
They craned their necks to glance at the two boats in the distance, and then calmly set their guns on the railings, waiting for the next order.
"Captain, why don't you shoot?"
"What a fart, so far to make a splash?" There is also a lesson to the recruits under him.
"Panic, I don't need you to shoot, just take it as training. Whoever is fucking panicking, Lao Tzu threw him into the Yangtze River. ”
Under the reprimand of the veterans, the recruits gradually calmed down.
Two five-masted ships also approached the scene of the conflict.
Although Zhao Hao's ship was lagging behind, it could be seen without a telescope, and the brig had burned to a brazier.
The people on the boat jumped into the river.
But the men on the three-masted ship still didn't let them go. Shoot the overboard with a cruel open bow and arrow.
He was thinking about whether to shout first or stand up first, when he suddenly heard the sound of fried beans on the big boat in front of him.
Immediately after that, a thick white smoke rose and was very noticeable in the blue night.
The security team actually shot first.
Zhao Hao looked at Uncle Mi with a confused expression, and Uncle Mi looked at Zhao Gongzi helplessly.
"The inconvenience of orders at sea is decided by each ship, and the little old man can't control it."
"Okay." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and turned back to look at the battle situation.
Then I saw the three-masted ship adjust its sails and make a quick northward turn.
"They're going to run." Uncle Mi snorted and saw through the other party's movements. I couldn't help but choke: "Our ship is too stupid, I'm afraid we can't stop it." ”
The square-headed and square-headed sand boat is stupid, and Zhao Hao's five-masted sand ship is not a battleship, how can there be a three-masted ship that is small and easy to turn around?
"Then stop chasing and save people." Zhao Hao sighed with some regret, he hadn't seen the scene yet, why was it over.
Uncle Mi asked the helmsman to go out to turn on the lights, and the two big sand boats really stopped the pursuit and put down the dinghy to save people.
~~
Half an hour later, a small boat drove over and reported the situation to Zhao Hao.
"Wako?" Zhao Gongzi was taken aback, this is the mouth of the Yangtze River, and he hasn't gone to sea yet.
"It's a wolf." The one who came to report was Ma Yinglong, the former deputy captain of the Xishan Island Security Brigade and now the captain of the special security team.
"The brothers saw that the people on the ship were all hairy, so they opened fire." Ma Yinglong is the head of the Qi family's army, and when he saw that there were still widows making trouble, his face was naturally a little unbearable.
"We also caught a fake widow who was shot and fell into the water."
"What about the other group?" Zhao Hao asked again: "Is it also a wolf?" ”
"They said they were from the Sand Boat Gang." Ma Yinglong's expression was a little weird.
"Ah ...... of the Sand Boat Gang" Zhao Hao gently stroked the straw hat, the Sand Boat Gang on Chongming Island is mainly running the Yangtze River shipping, and it is reasonable to run into it.
He asked Uncle Mi, it was still eighty miles away from Chongming Xisha Island, and it was a countercurrent, so it would take the second half of the night to reach the shore.
Only then did Zhao Gongzi realize that he still lacked imagination about the size of Chongming Island. I thought that after walking dozens of miles down the river from Wusongkou, I would be able to reach Chongming, but I didn't expect it to be far away.
Idle is also idle, so he asked Ma Yinglong to bring the leader for questioning.
Before anyone came, Zhao Hao went down to the cabin and told the three girls that they were okay and could sleep peacefully, and waited for Xisha to call them.
When he was forced to eat sugar water by the girls, and when he came out of the front cabin, he saw Ma Yinglong taking three people on the boat.
The leader is a woman in her prime...... She wore a blue dress and a white forehead, which was the dress of the deceased.
The other man and woman, who were supposed to be her attendants, stood behind the little widow with a wary expression.
"This is my son-in-law." Ma Rulong hurriedly introduced in a deep voice.
"The surviving Shen Chen, thank Gongzi for saving his life." The little widow bowed to Zhao Haoying.
Zhao Hao saw that she was beautiful and graceful, and her figure was graceful. At this time, the clothes and hair were not too dry, the slightly scattered hair was against the forehead, and the lips were frozen with little blood, but it was still difficult to hide the resolute color between the eyebrows.
'Women should be pretty and filial. ’
Zhao Gongzi's heart suddenly popped out of the inappropriate six words, and he was busy secretly thinking sorry, and hurriedly asked the guards to prepare cotton towels for the three of them, boil them with ginger soup, and then asked them what their identities were and why they were attacked.
