The Sun Never Sets Great China

Haitouwen thought of what his uncle said. This thing was handed over to him by his father before he died. His father just said to give this thing to him. As for what is the use of this thing, his father did not say , or it is too late to say.Thinking of this, Haitouwen suddenly felt his nose ache, because he thought of his mother again. His mother died young, and now even his father is dead.

He suppressed his grief, opened the drawer again, and took out the copper tube.The blood on the copper tube was not completely wiped off, and the blood left on it had turned black.Hai Touwen looked at the copper tube and couldn't help it anymore. His tears finally dripped down on the handle of the knife. The teardrops rolled down the blade and finally mixed with the black blood. Together.

"This... this brass pipe, you...you give it to my son Wen'er..." His father's words before he died immediately returned to Haitouwen's ears. Although his uncle's tone was completely wrong when he repeated it, he could still I could imagine his father's painful and inseparable expression at that time. Without his mother, even his father would leave, and he couldn't bear to part with himself.

Thinking of this, Hai Touwen suddenly stood up. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes, walked to the hatch, opened the hatch, and immediately walked into Hai Dafu's lounge.

"General!" "Privately call me uncle." Hai Dafu said gently, he was also very sad about his brother's death. "As long as we are on the ship, we never say anything in private. We cannot violate the ethics of naval officers. It was established by Deputy Commander Zhang and General Shi Lang." After Haitouwen said these words, Hai Dafu smiled gratifiedly. My brother has a successor.

"Did the general forget about our spy Zaemon? I think it's time to find him, because last time I had a few fighters on the airship to observe the enemy, I saw a few of those foreign ships. Japanese ship."

After Haitouwen finished speaking, "I have sent someone there." After Hai Dafu finished speaking, feeling unsafe, he immediately stood up and issued an order to a personal guard guarding outside the door: "Go and send the order, the ship The team slowed down, and sent people to the rear team to find Feng Gao!" After receiving the order, Feng Gao did not dare to delay, and immediately boarded a small boat to meet Hai Dafu.Feng Gao stood in front of Hai Dafu and asked, "What is the general looking for?" Hai Dafu said, "I ordered you to send someone to Japan to bring Zuoemon back. Who did you send?" Feng Gao said: " The subordinates sent a few personal soldiers who have been with them for many years, and they set off last night for Hangzhou, where they are going to board the ship." Hai Dafu pondered for a moment, and then asked: "My nephew said last time Among those foreign and barbarian ships, there are a few Japanese ships, did he read it correctly?"

Feng Gaodao: "You should be right. I have repeatedly asked a few airship observers, and they are all very sure. Although my subordinates have never been to Japan, there are a few of them. I used to travel with General Shi Lang in the Nanyang area Passing the boat, I saw a few Japanese ships there. At that time, my subordinates felt strange and asked General Shi Lang. He issued an order to prohibit his people from going out to sea for business, so now there are no Japanese ships in the Nanyang area. His subordinates also wonder why there are Japanese ships suddenly appearing in Yangyi's fleet? Could it be that Yangyi came from the Nanyang area? Hired Japanese pirates? But that’s not right, since the shogunate banned all pieces from going to sea, the Japanese pirates in the Nanyang area have almost disappeared.”

According to the information obtained by Zhang Huahan, it is uncertain whether the Japanese really want to participate in the battle against the Chinese Revolutionary Army. The Dutch and British ships took a long time to come to Asia, and they will never go back without fighting. It is very difficult for the Japanese to say whether they really participated or just talked about it, so the other fleets did not get news that Japan would also participate in this attack on the Chinese Revolutionary Army, so they did not get the Japanese to attack the Chinese Revolutionary Army Hai Dafu, who received news from the army, couldn't figure this out either, so he said, "If you're not afraid of [-], just in case, it's better to bring Zuemon back as soon as possible."

Feng Gao said: "Don't worry, general, my subordinates have repeatedly told those soldiers to ensure the safety of Zuoemon." He understood Hai Dafu's current mood very well. After all, Zaemon was Hai Dafu's nephew, and Hai Dafu Tou Wen's half-brother has an extraordinary relationship. Naturally, he dare not neglect his brother Ai Wu and Wu Xia after his death.Seeing that Hai Dafu bowed his head and said nothing, Feng Gao went on to say: "If the general is worried, then I will go there myself." Hai Dafu shook his head and said: "It is still important to fight, and the rear team cannot do without you." He turned his head Glancing at his nephew Hai Touwen standing beside him, he turned his head and said, "Go back to command the rear team now. Once I need your support, I will send someone to give you orders immediately. You must be ready at any time." After Feng Gao left, Haitouwen also left.

Hai Touwen returned to his lounge and walked back to the desk, looking at the brass pipe again.He looked at the copper pipe carefully again, and finally made up his mind.Haitouwen put the copper pipe flat on the desk, then pulled out the waist knife, and slowly raised it above his head, then gritted his teeth, aimed the waist knife at one end of the copper pipe, and slashed at the copper pipe. Tube. With a "bang", the waist knife split the copper pipe into two pieces, and then chopped it on the desk, with the blade deeply embedded in the wood.Zheng Sen didn't care about pulling out his waist knife, Haitouwen reached out to pick up the copper pipe, and looked into the copper pipe with fear.A roll of parchment was contained in a copper tube, which had been split in two by a waist knife.Zheng Sen gasped, and now he realized how reckless he was just now, he didn't have time to think, and hurriedly tore out the parchment, and along with the parchment, there was a small piece of copper that fell onto the desk.

Haitouwen picked up the copper block, only to realize that the "copper block" was not a copper block, but a very delicate and small copper lock, with a small word "Yonggu" engraved on the side of the copper lock.Haitouwen took the copper lock and looked at it, and saw that it was tightly locked, but there was no key. He knocked the copper pipe on the desk vigorously, but he didn't find the key, so he had to temporarily lock the lock. Putting the copper lock aside, carefully put the broken leather paper back together, only to find that it was covered with small characters.Haitouwen recognized that it was his father's handwriting, so he looked carefully.After reading it once, Haitouwen's face gradually showed an expression of enlightenment. He immediately picked up the copper lock again, stared at the word "Yonggu" on the lock, and murmured to himself: "It turns out So, it's my father's money saved in the Lu family bank, father, don't worry, my brother and I will share half of the money you left for us, and I won't be greedy for my brother's penny."

The torrential river flows eastward, on the bank of the Yangtze River, close to the south bank of the Yangtze River, twenty forts have been built, lined up along the river bank, from far to near, looking from afar, it looks like twenty giants Standing by the river.The forts are built with soil and wooden boards. Each fort is five feet high and the interval is about fifty feet.Ammunition depots are built on the south side of each fort, where all the ammunition used for the fort is stored.These forts were built by tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and hundreds of thousands of criminal laborers who spent a day and a night. In order to urge them to build these forts as soon as possible, Zhang Huahan personally went to the forts to pick soil and dig ditches. With such hard work, everyone went all out, even scholars like Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu who came to check the situation also joined the ranks of building the fort.

Zhang Huahan stood on a completed fort, holding a telescope in his hand, looking towards the north bank of the river.On the north bank opposite to this place, there are also ten forts under construction, but the progress is obviously slower than that of the forts on the south bank of the river, and it seems that they are only half completed.Zhang Huahan put away the binoculars, looked under the fort, and suddenly shouted to Zhao Feng: "Zhao Feng!"

Zhao Feng was directing his men to haul cannons to the fort, when he heard Zhang Huahan calling his name, he immediately ran up to the fort, saluted, and said: "Zhao Feng is here, please order the commander!" Zhang Huahan pointed to the north bank of the river and asked: "Why are the forts on the north bank of the river repaired so slowly?"

Zhao Feng looked towards the north bank, and said: "I don't know about this general, but judging by the future, it seems that this is because there are too few soldiers on the north bank. It's better to wait until all the cannons are dragged to the fort, and the general personally leads the battle." let people cross the river, go and help them." He sighed with infinite regret: "If only the brigade and hundreds of thousands of militiamen were still there, we would have known that we would build a fort here, and we should have sent hundreds of thousands of militiamen They brought it too."

"Nonsense, don't you want to guard against the Manchus?" Zhang Huahan said, "The strength of the Manchu army is still there. We need to unify the country as soon as possible. The number of foreigners' armies is not large." Hearing Zhang Huahan's words, Zhao Feng said: "What the commander said is, however, now that our fleet has moved eastward, it is unlikely that the enemy troops will pass by here easily. These forts may not be useful!"

Zhang Huahan nodded and said: "The militia and our engineering regiment were sent to Kaifeng to assist in the construction of the fort along the Yellow River. Kaifeng needs the engineering regiment more than we do. Besides, Kaifeng has fewer troops, and more people will be more powerful. You After crossing the river, urge the soldiers to repair the fort as soon as possible. Although the enemy army is blocked by our navy downstream, it may not be easy to break through our navy's defense line, but after all, fighting is not a child's play, and we should not be careless. It is better to prepare some defensive measures. Even if these forts are not very effective, they can still threaten the enemy." He paused, changed the subject, and asked, "How many of the more than 200 cannons sent from the north are usable this time?"

Zhao Feng said: "The general just made a general inventory, about half of those old cannons can be mounted on the fort, and the remaining half can't go far because the range is too short. So the final general plans to put the remaining [-] cannons in the army, follow the army, and play by ear. Although the cannons sent from the north are not very good, the gunpowder sent by the headquarters is really timely, and the gunpowder Very good, I have already distributed them to the various departments." He suddenly remembered something, and asked: "The small boats you brought back have also been handed over to our division, but few in our army can drive boats. The boat seemed cumbersome, and Biaoxia thought it would be better to burn it all, so as not to fall into the enemy's hands, I wonder if it is possible?"

Zhang Huahan was speechless. That boat was still useful for Zhao Feng's commander, Mr. Mo Xiao. This Zhao Feng is worthy of being the captain of his personal guard, and he has no brains at all. Those who have brains have already been sent to use by him. He thought about it Without thinking about blaming him for this matter, he said, "You can't burn it, send some people to watch it, and you send people to recruit some fishermen nearby, and it will be useful at that time." Then he added, " That would be useful for Master Mo Xiao to come."

Zhang Huahan raised his binoculars again, looked towards the east of the Yangtze River, and murmured: "I don't know if Hai Dafu and the others have encountered the enemy, why haven't those scouts sent back any news?" He slowly moved the binoculars to the camp on the south bank, In the lens of the binoculars, a black army was gathering. He turned his head and asked Zhao Feng: "How many Marines are there in total?"

Zhao Feng replied: "About 1 people." He paused, then continued: "However, they don't listen to the orders of the army officers very much, especially that Pan Hongtu, who simply ignored the words of the army officers. Let them deploy in the east of the camp, but they chose to deploy in the west of the camp, deliberately messing with the army officers! I feel a little annoyed when I see it." Zhang Huahan said: "Forget it, the most important thing now is to find out the enemy's movements. Ming immediately dispatched the whole army as agreed with Tuhai, marching with him on land and water, and attacking the enemy together. He fought from the water, and I fought from the land, and wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop. The reason why they did not listen to the army officers It is because their navy will only obey my orders. The navy and army are not subordinate to each other and cannot manage each other. I will give them orders later, and they will not even disobey my orders. With that said, Zhang Huahan led Zhao Feng down the fort, and ordered: "Go and pass on my order, the whole army must gather immediately, leaving [-] militiamen to guard the fort, and the rest of the troops are ready to march eastward!"

The general fleet needs to escort those shopping malls, so Shi Lang, the supreme fleet captain of the navy, only brought the weakest combat troops of the Zheng family who surrendered to the Chinese Revolutionary Army to drive some of the most garbage warships to support them, and other elite troops and good ships The ship is still guarding those merchant ships.

"Hang the flag again!" Shi Lang shouted to his soldiers, "We must maintain the formation!" He walked to the stern and looked at the ships following behind, only to see that several of them were seriously deviated lost its course, and even one ship tried to bypass the previous ships and run to the front of the fleet. "***! What happened to that ship? Why did you want to rush over?" Shi Lang said to himself.The soldiers standing beside him looked at the ship and said, "That's Zeng De's ship." "I know it's his ship!" Shi Lang gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "I already knew that Zheng De's ship was his ship." Cai’s subordinates are all cowards! Not a single good thing! Ever since this guy surrendered after the last naval battle and joined our Chinese Revolutionary Army Navy, I have always felt that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and today he really showed his true colors! Hehehe ..." Shi Lang sneered for a moment, and the hand holding the waist knife couldn't help but clenched a little bit. Compared with the elite subordinates, this group of ruffians from the Zheng family who surrendered were far behind.

With a sound of "bang", the last warship in Shi Lang's fleet released a puff of smoke from the stern, and then a shell flew backwards, crossed the river for several miles, and finally fell into the river, splashing a foot tall splashes. "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Shi Lang sighed, "It would be great if that western boat went three miles forward, even if it couldn't hit it, it would still scare it!" "That's Wang Wuye's boat "Wang Wuye is indeed a man, and he didn't forget to fire the cannon when he was running!" The soldiers looked at the rising smoke and exclaimed.

"Of course! Wang Wu can be regarded as an old man of the Zheng family. His Wang family has never produced a coward! Everyone is a hero!" Shi Lang was very satisfied with Wang Wu's performance.But the subtext is that Wang Wu is the worst member of his Wang family, otherwise I wouldn’t bring him here. I have no choice but to pick out the leftover garbage to bring with me. After all, those merchant ships are very important. Of course, among the garbage, Wang Five is relatively prominent, and he is considered tall among short people.Shi Lang ordered: "Hang up the flag and tell everyone not to fire any more gunpowder, so as not to waste gunpowder. Now no one knows the waterways in the Yangtze River better than us. Although Yangyi's boats go a little faster than us, we can To play tricks with him, let's deliberately walk in those shallow waters and tell them to run aground a few more boats!" Shi Lang now has three or two big cats and kittens, without the prestige of leading two or three hundred ships, but he is still so powerful. The ruffian soldiers on a few broken ships have to show their battle results, otherwise he, the commander-in-chief of the navy, is too weak.

"Boom" was another cannon sound. When Shi Lang's command flag was halfway up on the mast, Shi Xian's ship fired another cannonball. Like the previous cannonball, the shell still failed to hit the one following behind. For several Dutch warships, the shells still fell far into the Yangtze River.

But Shi Lang soon discovered that the speed of his own fleet was actually much slower than that of the Dutch battle fleet. They lured the enemy's ships while shooting.

"Boom", there was a burst of gunfire, and countless water waves flew over. The last warship of the Chinese Revolutionary Army had already shot at a Dutch warship. More than a dozen shells flew towards the enemy's ship mercilessly. It shot into the cabin of the Dutch warship, and the Dutch sailors could clearly hear the screams in the cabin. "Fire! Fire! Fight back! Fight back!" the Dutch captain cursed frantically. "Boom" the deck guns on the Dutch warship fired, but they were quickly suppressed under the fierce firepower of the Chinese warship. The warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were all covered with iron armor, and In the water-tight compartment, none of Shi Lang's fleet was destroyed.

"Bang bang bang..." A series of gunshots rang out on the deck.Some birds that were still in the nearby sky were frightened and flew high. They "hula-la" flew together, and then spread out in the sky. After flying a few times in the sky, they all disappeared into the distance.There was constant rumbling on the sea, the sound of artillery and musket guns continued one after another, water jets shot up into the sky, washing the ships of both sides over and over again, occasionally a cannon shot hit the hull and deck of the other side, and hit Shi Lang's ship The ship was ejected by the iron armor, while the Dutch ship was shot through a hole, and sometimes it was able to hit the opponent's artillery. Both sides suffered some losses. , no one can do anything to anyone.
