The second is more presented, asking for monthly passes, subscriptions, and recommendations

Nan'ao Island is located at the junction of Guangdong and Fujian provinces, controlling the entrance to the Taiwan Strait, and is considered an important coastal defense town. The Manchu Water Division has deployed heavy troops here, and the town mark and right battalion of Nanao Town under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Water Division are placed on this small island. The strength on the books should be more than 5,000 people, and there are nearly 100 large and small warships. But in fact, the number of troops that can be pulled out to fight a game, I don't know if there are 1,500 people? It's not that the general soldiers of Nanao Town are eating empty money, but the Green Battalion of the Qing Dynasty is this rule, and it is already the grace of Shangguan to be able to get half of the salary for the soldiers, but the green battalion soldiers who take half of the military salary less have no opinion. Because this means that they don't have to go to the barracks every day to be on duty, they can do their own business.

However, the remaining green battalion soldiers who come to duty every day in Nanao Town do not receive full salaries, in fact, they do not take money and have to pay tribute to Shangguan Xiaoyu's silver. Uh, of course, it's not because of love for the Qing Dynasty, but because the Navy Nanao Town has the duty of anti-smuggling and bandits, guarding the key position of the entrance to the Taiwan Strait, and there is not a lot of silver flowing into the account every day? Whether it is a passing Chinese merchant ship or a Yangyi opium ship, they will stuff silver to dot the gang of soldiers in Nanao Town.

Of course, it was not the large Canton ship that went to sea to collect cash, it was the main warship of Nanao Town, soaked in the port all day long to give birth to maggots, and the last time it was out was the Opium War!

Circling around at the southwest entrance of the Taiwan Strait is a kind of double-canopy boat, called the Tong'an Boat Ancient Ship, which is actually a kind of coastal transport ship refit. Twin masts and four oars, with a displacement of less than 50 tons. There is also a type of two-masted sailing ship called a "fast sentry ship", which is also used with oars. The displacement is more than 100 tons. 15 oars per side.

These two types of ships often go to sea in shifts. One sentry followed two double-canopies. The main weapons were carrying guns and small cannons of several hundred pounds, shotguns and bows and arrows...... Well, it's really speechless to say, it's all in the 19th century, and they still give bows and arrows to sailors! However, what is even more surprising is that the Manchu sailors actually paid great attention to hand-to-hand combat, and each ship was equipped with a large number of rattan soldiers, such as the hand-to-hand soldiers whose legs were broken by the light infantry of the Jishi Army in the Battle of Lantau Island. It was because there were a large number of shotgunslingers, archers, and rattan soldiers on the ships of the sailors that Lord Lane would lead them to Lantau Island to fight against the Chai Shi army on land.

Although the situation of the Guangdong Green Camp Water Division is quite bad now, the Fujian Green Camp is still very leisurely. It's as if what is happening off the coast of Guangdong is on the other side of the world.

On the vast blue sea, a fast sentry boat of the Fujian Navy Division with two double-canopy boats was slowly circling around, and there was nothing to do, just waiting for a ship to pass by and go up to knock on the bamboo pole. A group of sailors with pigtails on their heads gambled bare-chested on dirty decks.

"Have you heard? The Cantonese Yankees in Zuoying are having a very hard time now, they are guarding the port all day long, and they don't dare to come out to fish, and I heard that the imperial court has also sent a Qin messenger down to rectify it. I don't know if Guangdong will be Fujian's turn after the whole is over? ”

"At most, it's another tribute, how can someone come up like this? Any grooming and rectification is fake. It's real if you want silver! I don't know what kind of medicine those Cantonese guys took wrong, and they haven't scraped together the money to send Qin Cha away. ”

"Brother Wang, your ears and eyes are too closed, right? This time, the things that came out of Guangdong are not something that can be settled with silver! There are anti-thieves on the sea of Guangdong! The overseas emperor of the reverse Ming is back! The Guangdong Navy Division's bid was wiped out by the anti-Ming thieves......"

"Say what? What to say? Before he could finish speaking, he saw a Qian Zong with a waist knife coming out of the cabin with a gloomy face.

"Give Lao Tzu some spiritual points, don't gamble! With this spirit, it is better to open your eyes and see where there is money to collect. ”

Before he could finish speaking, a sailor in charge of the lookout at the bow of the ship shouted: "West! West! There are big ships! And more than one! ”

"What?" Immediately everyone flocked to the bow of the ship and looked over excitedly.

One after another, swarthy masts appeared on the horizon of the cape, like huge pillars rushing out from under the sea. Immediately following these huge pillars, what quickly caught the eyes of the officers and men of the Manchu Qing Division was that rows of sails blown up by the southwest wind appeared on the sea one after another like floating mountains.

"One, two, three, four...... Four big Western ships, make a fortune! An elderly sailor couldn't help but shout.

"But the flag on this ship...... What country's ship is this? I don't know who shouted, and suddenly everyone found that the four oncoming Western ships were flying high with the blue background gold sun and moon flag - this is the naval flag of the Jishi Ming army, and their army flag and national flag are red and gold sun and moon.

"It doesn't matter what country's ship he is! This is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, we are the sailors of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to beat us here, you have to pay silver! ”

The one who spoke was the pipe band of the fast sentry ship, and it was the master of Dusi, the four-rank military attache of the Qing Dynasty, named Wang Anshun. This master's Sipindu Division and the fast sentry ship pipe belt were all bought, and it cost seven or eight thousand taels of silver inside and out! If you don't work hard, when will you be able to get your money back?

"Quick! Catch up, fire the trumpet cannons, and let them stop the ship! ”

In this way, the three brave small sampans of the Manchu Qing Division spread out in formation and pounced side by side towards the four armed merchant ships that were speeding in the distance.

"That's ...... Is there a kind? ”

Zhu Jishi on the Lanfang held a telescope and looked at the three small sampans of the Qing Dynasty, and couldn't help but sigh.

"See no, see no! This is the spirit of the navy that will destroy the enemy! Knowing that you are invincible, you must attack without hesitation! This is what our Daming Shui Master does not have at present! Although they are enemies, they still deserve our respect! ”

When Wang Dehu, the future commander of the Ming Dynasty, heard this, he could only nod with a forced smile. He has been a pirate, and he still doesn't know what virtues the Great Shimizu Master has?

They are not armies used for naval warfare at all, they are used to extort merchant ships to cover smuggling. Without them leading the way, the annual import of opium into China would have been reduced by at least more than half. These money-eyed guys must have used the four armed merchant ships they led as opium smuggling ships...... But these guys' eyes are bad enough, Daming Mountain, Maria. The three armed merchant ships of the Clementina and the Madame Duran were just that, and at a glance they knew that they were merchant ships. But no matter how you look at it, the Lanfang is a cruiser!

"No, Wang Dusi, look at the leading ship...... It seems to be a warship of the Yiren! ”

Not to mention, there are people in the Fujian Navy who know the goods, and there are many warships of foreign powers that have been circling around China's coastal waters in recent years, including French warships that have docked on Nanao Island.

"It's a warship...... They seem to be in battle formation! Wang Anshun Wang Daguan gasped and found that something was wrong.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, and it's a provocation to treat our cannon as a provocation!"

The so-called battle formation is a T-shaped battle position, in fact, there is no need to do this against three small sampans, but this is a rare opportunity for actual combat, or should be firmly grasped and trained by battle.

The clanging alarm bell had already sounded, and the sailors and gunners on the Lanfang were all busy preparing for battle under the drive of Western instructors. The more than 20 cannons on the side of the ship were all in place, the lower gun portholes were all opened, and the muzzles of the black hole were all pointed to the three Qing army boats not far away.

"Quick! Fly the white flag! Fly the white flag! Wang Dadusi angrily gave orders to several sailors.

Flying a white flag does not mean surrender, but rather shows that you have no hostile intentions.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Lanfang fired the first salvo, and the bullets were missed, and the three Manchu warships were unscathed......

"Quick! Cut off the mast! Wang Dadusi's throat was about to burst. The white flag obviously doesn't work, then it's just a matter of chopping the mast! In the naval battles of this era, cutting off the mast was a real surrender. Hearing the order, a sword soldier on the ship immediately began to swing his knife and cut the mast, and with a few clicks, he knocked down the mast before the Lan Fang could fire a third volley. However, the other two canopy boats did not cut the masts, but turned around and ran east. While running, he threw the ship's iron cannons, guns, bows and arrows, and swords into the sea to reduce weight, and Zuihou was almost thrown into the sea. However, Zhu Jishi's fleet didn't bother to pay attention to them, and did not chase them, but just approached the fast sentry ship with the mast cut.

"How did its mast fall? We don't think we hit them, huh? Zhu Jishi looked at the scene in front of him inexplicably.

"Ming Gong, we have won, and the Manshui Division has surrendered!"

"Cast ...... Surrendered? There was a kind of it just now, but now it's dropping? Zhu Jishi shook his head, "Is this person who is full of clear water masters not normal?" (To be continued......)
