Chapter 123: The Fleet
Wan Shitong smiled and said, "Miss Qing, you don't know yet, my Rejuvenation Hall has already joined the Seven Seas Alliance, so my old man can naturally come here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Chu Qing asked in surprise, "Rejuvenation Hall joined the Seven Seas Alliance, what are you doing with him?"
Wan Shitong said happily: "This kid can make money, and he has a future with him." β
Xue Qian took over the conversation and asked, "Uncle, what's going on outside?"
"Many boats came from the sea, including officials and soldiers, Japanese people, and people from the rivers and lakes, and hundreds of people came to the small island in the middle of the sea. β
Tang Shuxue also pretended not to know, "Hey, do you like to come to the sea for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Xue Qian took advantage of the situation and said, "Master, let's go out and have a look, okay?"
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Chang Wei waved his hand, and the Tang family brothers and sisters and Wan Shitong followed out, and the three daughters of Chu Qing were not far behind, and they really followed step by step.
Under the blue sky and white clouds at noon, the sailors of the Seven Seas Alliance were working nervously, their bronzed skin shining in the sun.
Chang Wei stood on the wharf and looked out, the quiet ocean current under the action of the monsoon, slowly fluctuating towards the east, the sea area of Shuangyumen was calm, the sea at this time was sailing, and hundreds of large and small ships were slowly approaching from the north and south.
Its destination is the Shuangyu Gate at the junction of the sea blue and the distant sky, the island is like a slowly rising glass, shining with the dazzling luster of the ancient wilderness, attracting the attention of countless people.
Lao Li didn't have time to appreciate this beautiful scenery, maybe he was used to seeing it, he paid more attention to the direction of the ocean current and the changes in the waves, and when Chang Wei came out, Lao Li was directing the sailors to prepare to go to sea.
"Lao Li, how is it?"
"The currents, waves, and wind direction are all normal, so don't worry. β
Seeing Chang Wei and Lao Li talking, Chu Qing immediately posted it, and Chang Wei couldn't help frowning.
"Are you going to sea?
Lao Li was old and refined, and saw Chang Wei's displeasure, and immediately said: "So many people on the island have to eat, let's go to the sea to fish." β
Chu Qing pointed to the fortress under construction on the island and said, "You guys have so much money that you can just buy it directly, do you still need to fish?"
"The girl doesn't know life at sea, the so-called eating the sea by the sea, in addition to doing business, we also have to fish, which is also a big entry. β
After discussing with Li Yunzhao, twenty commercial armed ships carrying He Chengkong, Tang Xingtian and other masters have already set off to join Qimen Island, and in order to cover up the number of ships on the island, ships go out to sea and enter the port every day.
As he spoke, a speedboat galloped into the harbor, and Ha Kong rushed over, "My lord, the situation is not good, there are more and more ships at sea, and a fleet is coming to our side." β
Chang Wei stretched out his hand and took out the Thousand Miles Cylinder and looked at the sea.
Along the coastline, there are many sails, and the boats are connected to each other, and further afield, there are six Ataku boats, which have rarely been seen in recent years, and more than a dozen small ships and small morning boats as frigates.
The Hachiman Warrior God Bodhisattva hanging on the ship, as well as the bow and arrow Hachiman flag erected, immediately alerted Tsunewei.
"Hachiman boats, it's a Japanese coward!" Order: Hang the flag and warn all ships not to approach, otherwise they will be shelled immediately!"
"Yes!" Hakong immediately ran towards the battery, shouting: "Hang the flag, warn the passing ships!"
Soon, the banners of 'Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Envoy' and 'Chang' were raised at the commanding heights of the forts and islands along the coast, and the flag-bearers waved the flags and waved the flags prohibiting the landing.
Chu Qing said with a complicated expression, "You are so majestic." β
Chang Wei ignored her and turned back to his residence, and when he came out again, he had already changed into a python dragon robe and a black yarn folded scarf, and two bright muskets were pinned to his waists.
Seeing Chang Wei's majestic murderous face, Chu Qing, Yan Qianbo, and Su Chengcheng couldn't help but change color slightly.
Seeing that all the artillery doors along the coast were open, the Hachiman boat waved a flag and inquired and learned that it was an important member of the imperial court stationed on the island, so he immediately changed course and docked to Rokuyoko Island on the other side, but sent an atakaku ship and several small morning boats to Fudo Island, and the flag given was the meaning of visit.
"Xiao Heng, Xiao Kong, go out to sea to have a look, don't let the ship dock. "The Fodu Island base is under construction, and Chang Wei doesn't want to be involved with any forces now, let alone the Japanese invaders.
The second general of Huha greeted him, and ten musketeers including Hu Yang, twelve lay disciples of Shaolin, and one hundred and ten members of the Seven Seas Alliance all boarded the ship.
In an instant, a four-hundred-material fortune ship, a small Cangshan ship as the main force. An eagle ship with the same tip at both ends, advancing and retreating like a fly, and a ship sailing at a very fast speed on a water vessel, left the port to meet the Yawata.
Chang Wei stood on the dock and clearly saw the busy sailors on the tall deck of the Fukufu ship through the Qianli tube.
Suddenly, Tang Jinyi rushed from a distance, "Wei Shao, there is another fleet coming from the north." β
Chang Wei immediately ran to the commanding height of the fortress, the fortress was built on a high ground, and in the center it enclosed a hill, and built a stone fort on the hill to form the highest point of the whole island.
Chang Wei looked at the stone castle that had not yet taken shape, and under the golden sun, a large fleet of troops lined up on the sea level in the northern sea.
The most eye-catching thing in the middle is the four-masted Franc machine galleon, with small warships majestically lined up in two columns on both sides, and clusters of speedboats cruising around the perimeter of the fleet to be on guard. Swarms of gray supply ships were located in the center of the fleet.
On the galleon, the soldiers lined up in several quiet columns, and only the busy sailors walked back and forth to control the ship.
As the fleet moved, the ocean-blue current stirred up large white sprays, forming a series of huge herringbone ripples.
"Don't be nervous, it's the fleet of the Franc man!"
According to the plan, the Franc robot man came to join Chang Wei to exterminate the pirates.
Chang Wei ordered his subordinates to play a flag and let the Franc fighter also dock at Liuheng Island on the opposite side, and soon the battleship gave a flag and asked why it was not allowed to dock at the port of Fodu Island?
Chang Wei smiled coldly, "When you drove me away, you didn't help me speak, now, let me all step aside!"
At Chang Wei's insistence, the Francophile finally succumbed and leaned towards Liuheng Island.
Soon, the second general of Hum Ha said that the Japanese and the Francophile wanted to visit the island.
Chang Wei let his ships carry people over, but strictly ordered that none of the ships on both sides were allowed to dock, and after a stick of incense, Chang Wei saw one or twenty Francos and Japanese people on the dock, led by Gomez and Li Yunzhao.
Gomez said angrily, "Your Excellency, why don't you let our fleet dock? β
Chang Wei sneered, "As a partner, you guys really disappointed me!"
(Note: 1 material = 0.325 tons.) Among them, 400 material ships: sand ships can carry about 130 tons, and Fu ships can carry about 180 tons. About 300 pieces of wood are used for 400 drills. οΌ
